KEEP YOUR $100 AND UPGRADE MY 4GB!

I am absolutely infuriated at Apple for having the gall to slap $100 in the face of all 4gb iPhone owners who were early adopters. Now that the 4gb model is obsolete, anyone who purchased one was gypped of their money entirely within a period of 60 something days.
Hmm, let's see, what can I do with my 4gb iPhone now that I was gypped? Sell it on eBay you say? For what, 1 third the money I paid for it, or even less? Who the heck would even want one now that an 8gb is $100 cheaper than what I originally paid for a 4gb model?!
Very neglectful planning on Apple's behalf. I will hesitate to purchase any product from Apple again unless they give all 4 gb iPhone owners the opportunity to upgrade to an 8 gb for free. I don't want $100, I want a FREE upgrade!

TO Apple,
I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the $200 price cut in the price of the apple iPhone, The thing has only been out for 2 months and you guys go hack the price down $200 thats crazy, This is the first apple product I have ever owned. The iphone was something done right, it works perfect I'm happy with the product, I'm disappointed in the company behind it. Being one of the first costumers of the phone we should be respected, we were the early supports whom many of us waited in line, for what? to waste $200. Now I would have never bought the iPhone 2 months ago if I knew the price would go down so extremely fast. We made the product a success. Now I have read the message about the $100 credit, this does less to please me. Why $100 you know the difference is $200 if apple wants a positive image you should please early buyers knowing what they payed would be rewarded for. I remember the iPod video kept its price high for along time, I kinda became to know apple as a company that keeps one good price and goes with it. Apparently not. So ill take my $100 credit, but ill say now that does very little to change my outlook on apple. You have hurt your company image as just a greedy company out there. I thought of apple as a company that valued and cared how there costumers felt. Why do something like that and offer a joke as an apology $100 credit.

How do you keep your iPhones and iPads separate under the same apple id

I have a family of iPhones and iPads and one apple ID, well needless to say each device is getting face time calls and text messages from eachother. I might add it makes for some pretty interesting conversations. I would like to learn how to keep each device seperate under the same apple ID, or would it be better to set up seperate ID's for everything? Anyways, any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Buyer Beware - Verizon is a company that is only out to get your cash and leave you with trash.

Verizon is a company that is only out to get your cash and leave you with trash. Verizon has mastered deception. Do not get strung along like I did by calling in and letting them try to fix anything-they are there to make sure you get past your 14 day return period so you are locked into a new 2 year contract and can’t take back any of the accessories you bought for your product. If your product does not work out of the box, RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY, do not call in for tech support and take back any accessories you bought for the product as it also has the 14 day policy too. First off let me say that as far as the PHONE SERVICE, it has been great…however…here is what I have experienced with the 3G Droid Bionic and Verizon. I decided to get the Droid Bionic 4G since they are supposed to have 4G service in my area. It’s either their service or the product that is not 100% 4G like my 3G HTC Imagio is 100% 3G, the so called "4G" Bionic flips in and out. I can’t count how many hours I’ve been on the phone with techs at Verizon and Moto but each time, they all had something different to say, but nothing ever worked and if it did, it didn’t work for long before it went back to the same flip flop. There were several other issues as well but too many to list, but one is that when I was tethered and would get a notification it disconnected from the internet...NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN. I had a specific need for the 4G and since it doesn’t work, I don’t NEED it. The biggest lie I bought into is that MOTO is/was supposed to release a software update that is supposed to fix the flip flop 3G to 4G. I talked to a tech tonight at Verizon that was honest enough to tell me that if there was one that was going to be released (within my 14 day period) that they would have been notified of that. Well guess what, he doesn’t have any notices. But every person I talked to at Verizon said there was going to be an update, is it another one of those…no one knows their butt from a hole in the grown or was he telling the truth. Well it makes sense now that when I was talking with the second level tech at MOTO he didn’t know what the heck I was talking about. There’s your proof that the people you call and talk to at Verizon are devious, deceptive jerks and are only out to make money off us and could really care less that you just spent a bundle of money on a piece of cow dung and that their only goal is to keep you tied into the 2 year contract. After talking with the last tech at Verizon that told me there was no notification of a software update coming from MOTO or at least not in the next two weeks, I decided to take back all my accessories to the Verizon store in my area and return the Bionic tomorrow. But guess what, unlike the rest of America where the return policies are 30 days, Verizon also changed the return policies on the accessories too. So I’m stuck with over $100 of “STUFF” that cannot be used on any other phone. My bad, I didn’t have my reading glasses, look 12 inches down the long small print page to see that it said 14 days, when I bought the “STUFF” and I didn’t know that Verizon’s changes applied to the accessories in there stores too. Why is this and issue because Verizon did have me buy another Bionic phone under a new 14 day policy but because I didn’t realize that same policy applied to the hardware at their local stores, I’m stuck with the “STUFF”. Guess what Verizon; you devious, deceptive jerks, what goes around comes around. You are going to get to know me real well in the coming days, weeks, months and years; I’m going to picket until the freakin cows come home and hopefully get on the local news channels too. I’m going to hopefully create a nationwide movement that will either ruin your company or force you to restore the 30 day policy and I don’t care if you try to sue me that will be even better as it will draw even more attention. Money is hard to come by these days and I’ll not let you screw me over like this and get away with it. Because you are treating your customers like cow dung, I WILL NEVER extend my contract again; when this contact ends I’m switching to another cell provider. I’ve been with you since 2004 but tomorrow I’m switching my family’s phones over as soon as possible since they are not under any contract; this I hope will catch on and others will do the same. We can support the other companies and help them grow so that they can also provide better cell service and then we the people will have a choice, NOT TO GET SCREWED. Verizon, you are going to be the reason that a lot of time is going to be wasted in your stores because of processing numerous returns and a lot of Fed Ex charges on you for people retuning your trash items…unless you want to get it right the first time and or BECOME AMERICAN again and restore the 30 day policy. Verizon’s 4G network and or MOTO products still have so many bugs in them that you might as well keep your 3G and wait for another year or so until they fix everything and stop their devious, deceptive tricks, restore the 30 day policy and start selling products that work out of the box. Verizon, you wouldn’t be the first large company that is going to fall if you keep doing this kind of business. See yea on the news. One comment for Moto: Do you really want to associate yourself with a company that treats their customers like this? I guess Birds of a feather flock together…and get shot together. Yours Truly, One very, very, VERY angry customer

Premiere Pro CS6: GTX 660 ti ($300) vs. GTS 450 ($100) and other thoughts on upgrading HW

I've been wanting to make some major upgrades to my hardware, but it just doesn't seem worth it yet...even after almost 4 years. I ultimately decided to "rent" a new video card and run some tests. Here is some background info on my upgrade though process and some results comparing the video card performance.
Disclaimer: I'm not a hardware expert, but I'm not completely clueless (I think). Your input/insight is welcome.
My system (purchasd 2/2009)
i7 920
GTS 450 (1GB RAM)
12 GB 1333 RAM
Samsung SATA II 128 GB SSD (OS/apps)
5x 1TB 7200 RPM drives in RAID 0 (with accompany slow/cheaper 2TB backup drives)
Some upgrade options I am considering
Sandy Bridge 3930 - but it's $560 w/o cooling and would require a new, more expensive motherboard, new ram, cooling, etc.
Ivy Bridge 3770, but I keep reading that that an overclocked 920 isn't that much different in perf (in fairness mine isn't oc'd). I did find a MB that would work for only $90. So I could make this upgrade for just under $400 (RAM would stay the same).
Wait for Haswell, but i could be another 9 months and it's supposed to only give maybe a 10% perf gain over IB. It's more focused on mobile - less power, integrated graphics, etc.
High-end Xeons are totally off the table. $/buck is waaaay too low.
Video card and benchmark reviews/problems
So I thought I'd first try getting a new video card. I see conflicting benchmarks. This site (the one that provides the CUDA.exe hack) notices very little difference between most GTX cards in perf for their benchmarks. The PPMB5 site shows significant differences between say the GTX 680 and lower end cards. But are these really accurate?
The GTX 680 is almost $500, so I opted for the 660 ti at $300 to see if I could get a noticable perf gain. It seemed like the best $/buck card and wouldn't require me to get a new power supply.
Another reason I wanted to do my own tests: None of the benchmarks I've seen actually mention the type of footage used. I care about footage from the Canon MKII-III, or similar footage. I definitely do not care about things like exporting to MPEG 2.
I did some very unscientific benchmarks, but they were real world for me. First my "problem" areas.
Performance problem areas
#1 - Time-lapses consisting of 1080 (height) JPEGs and 2160 (height) JPEGs don't always play smoothly (larger 2160s almost never do). I read adding more VRAM might help. The 660ti has 2x the RAM as my current video card.
#2 - Split screen sequences (up to 9 clips simultaneously) don't play smoothly.
#3 - Scenes where I speed up a clip to 1000x don't always play smoothly. (Although upgrading from CS5 to 6 actually seems to have solved this issue, I couldn't get it to repro any longer).
#4 - Export to h.264 could be faster. I do this a lot, but mostly because it's how I sometimes make proxies because of problems around #1-2 (works fine - used to use CineForm but it always crashed Premiere and these work for my needs). This is typically my final export as well for posting on sites like Vimeo.
#5 - Timeline rendering could be faster, although I don't do this a lot and if I do it's simple, not a bunch of crazy effects. E.g. use unsharp mask. This is pretty low pri for me though because I think timeline rendering is a bad idea. Once you do it, if you even move the clip you have to render again.
Some simple bottleneck analysis first:
Disk queue length sometimes is just over 1 on 1 disk in my RAID array during TL playback. Might slow things down slightly. Not an issue during export.
Processor never seems to get pegged in any case.
RAM is never maxed out, but it starts to go to Premiere limits (10 GB that I've set) after playing through several time-lapses (I'm just now noticing this). Choppiness starts well before RAM is even near that on some clips.
Tests/results:
NOTE: I do run the 660ti in a PCIe 2 x16 slot. Let me know if you think it would even matter to run in a PCIe 3.0 slot. My MB doesn't have one.
#1 Time-lapse smoothness - didn't improve with the 660. Moving the 1080 size JPEG TLs to my SSD did help some problem TLs play smoothly however.
#2 Split screen. Did a test with a 9-clip-at-the-same-time sequence. No improvement with the 660ti.
#3 Clips speed up 1000x - could not repro the problem now that I run CS 6 vs. 5 on either card.
#4 - Export to H.264 1080p @23.9x fps.
Export 5:30 clip of 5D MKIII footage + H.264 proxies:
GTS 450 - 9:14
660 Ti - 8:30
Export 1.5 minute clip of large time-lapses (JPEGs that are 2160 high):
GTS 450 - 9:35
660 Ti - 7:00
Export a 2 minute clip of just MKIII footage
GTS 450 - 2:45
660 Ti - 2:45
#5 Timeline render with simple image correction effect
Timeline render short 5D MKIII clip with unsharp mask applied:
GTS 450 - 1:10
660 Ti - 1:19
Conclusion:
The 660ti ($300) showed marginal improvements in exporting h.264 against my GTS 450 ($100) and did not address my other issues. Definitely not worth it for the type of work I do.
Moving my time-lapse JPEGs to an SSD helps play the 1080p versions back smoothly. The 2160p larger versions still lag. Maybe more RAM would help? They still start off choppy and then acquire more and more RAM, so not sure here. Maybe faster 1600 RAM? I don't know, I doubt it. I may have to just use 1080 versions or make proxies.
I don't see a pegged CPU much if at all, so upgrading to an Ivy Bridge 3770 doesn't seem like it'll help much if at all.
I did end up buying 2x256 GB SATA III SSDs (only $169 each) that I'll run current projects off of, or at least time-lapse sequences (RAID 0). My motherboard doesn't have an SATA III slots, however, so I won't see the full power of these, but not sure I'll need it. Again I'm not seeing a clear disk issue either from the perf monitoring.
I suspect many of these problems are still with the software and how it takes advantage of my hardware, but I'd love more insight.
Generally I make things work and I don't have any really painful bottlenecks, but I'm always up for perf improvements/doing things faster. It does look like I won't see any major breakthroughs, however by spending $400-$1000 bucks on HW upgrades.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the resonpose Harm. Inline.
Harm Millaard wrote: SYSTEM: It is an older system, about the same I had in the form of 'Harm's Beast', although I have a much beefier disk setup, more memory and OC'ed to 3.7 GHz, in combination with a GTX 480. Not much you can do about this system, apart from upgrading memory to 24 GB but the major drawback is that those investments will not carry over to a new system, at least not easily. [Luke] From your description of your system it sounds like 4 things could indeed be upgraded and carried over to a new system. 1) OC the processor (e.g. purchase a generic water cooler for ~$100), 2) Improve the Disk setup, 3) Upgrade the video card, 4) Add more/faster RAM.
I've seen in some benchmarks that an OC'd 920 is not so dissimilar to an OC'd 3770K. The latter is faster, but it isn't a huge difference. The larger question still remains - will any/all of these upgrades yield large performance gains and solve all/a higher percentage of my problems? Or do I have a decent sweet spot of a system and should wait for the software (e.g. MPE evolution in CS7-8) to catch up and take better advantage of what I have? Like I said from doing some rudimentary performance monitoring, I'm not seeing a pegged CPU (just a brief spike here/there), I'm not seeing disk transfer at capacity (although 1 disk has a slightly > 1 queue length at times), I'm not seeing in all cases over-utilization of memory, etc. (except higher RAM usage is seen albeit staggered for large JPEG time-lapse sequences, but I see choppiness well before RAM usage gets to 10 GB).
VIDEO: You correctly point out that the GTX 680 shows in the MPE graph on the PPBM5 website much better results than other cards. But keep in mind that most 680's are used in new systems, often with the latest CPU's and fast memory. I'm convinced that a 680 is not noticeably faster than a 580, because they have the same memory bandwidth, but it looks that way because they are often accompanied by hexa core i7-39xx CPU's with large amounts of memory. [Luke] Good point - potentially further evidence that the video card doesn't make a big difference? At least not enought to justify 5x the cost (e.g. $500 680 vs. $100 450). This would be consistnet with what Studio 1 Productions has seen. The GTS 450 has a memory bandwidth of 86 GB/s, the 660 Ti has 144.2 GB/s, so the latter is significantly faster as you have shown in some of your tests. [Luke] The only test I would characterize closer to having a significant increase using the 660 would be exporting large JPEG time-lapses to H.264, where it was a good 27% faster. The rest seemed more marginal or did not change. TESTING: You don't mention to what format you exported and with what resolution and framerate. Hardware MPE will come into play when you have rescaling, frame blending, blurring and stuff like that occurring. If you export to the same frame size and frame rate as your source and no blurring occurs, then exporting is purely a CPU matter and the video card has no impact at all. [Luke] See above - H.264, 1080p @23.9x fps. General remarks: I personally consider your 5 disk raid0 setup as pretty risky. You have multiplied the risk of losing all data by a factor 5!. You have no redundancy at all. Even though it is fast, I expect your sustained transfer rates are less than 450 MB/s and when using a 9 clip split screen, it may be too slow with the limited memory and the old CPU you have. You have effectively one single volume for video related editing (apart from the OS disk) and while that makes for easy administration, it still entails the drawbacks of the half-duplex connection of SATA. It might be better to add a couple of HDD's in raid0 for media cache, previews and exports to avoid that limitation. You can always carry those to a new system. [Luke] Yes there is a higher level of risk, but with backups every 30 minutes during project work I yield cheap/easy perf gains for the cost of--at most--30 minutes of work. I've lost no work in the last 4 years, 1 drive failed once while on vacation and I replaced it easily. Anyway backup/data integrity is a different issue separate from performance which I'd like to focus on in this context.
I get ~420MB/s read with this array (mostly older, blue WD drives and Deskstars). I'm running out of space, so I just ordered 3 x 2 TB WD black drives to replace this with, expecting probably a similar transfer rate. Again though I'm not necessarily seeing disk being a bottleneck in perf mon aside from one disk who's queue length sometimes goes over 1, so we'll see if the newer black drives help.
I have ordered 2x256 SATA III SSDs to put min my time-lapses on as having them on my current primary SSD seemed to help in some cases.
Sorry to be so harsh. [Luke] No worries, harsh is OK but I'm still not seeing a clear solution to some of my issues and I'm still not convinced a new system - short of a top-of-the-line SB or Xeon system (both of which are very $$) will be worth the upgrade. When 5 years had passed between my current system and my 2004 system, I feel like the upgrades were much more significant especially for bang/$.

My 3.6.14 keeps trying to update and gives this error message:"The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again."

My OS is Windows XP version service pack 3. I even tried to install FF4 but it never get installed. As I mentioned my FF keeps trying to update itself but it gives the error message I provided in title. Now I don't have access to my FF browser and my life is stopped because I have all my passwords saved on FF. I restarted my notebook but it stills try to update itself giving the same error message. I can not also upgrade my Adobe reader 7.0.7 to 10 I have tried more than 10 times but it never gets upgraded. I had this Adobe problem since long time ago.

Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).<br />
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I have already posted this question once already but I can't find it! I'm using a Mac, using OS 10.4.11, I keep getting notifictions to upgrade to 3.6.22, however, your site says that they are NOT compatible; what doI do now?

I did ask this question before, about a week - week and a half ago. However, it had not received any answers after about 4 days. My browser crashed and I lost the page!
Anyway, I keep getting notifications indicating that I need to download update 3.6.22. This site says that it is NOT to be used with OS X 10.4.11. So, what's the real deal? can I, better yet - should I download and use 3.6.22?
Additionally, what are we supposed to do when, as the notification on this site states, that 3.6 is only temporary, when it is what taken out of usability status? ?
I'm running a G4 DP, 500 MHz, with 512 MB RAM. I'm using an Earthlink dial-up account.
DOES anybody have an answer to the above questions? Do you need any additional information?

Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.

HT204053 I changed my Icloud account email and my account is no longer showing the 100.00 upgrade that I had purchased under my old email.

I changed my Icloud account email ,and since changing it, my 100.00 upgrade from my previous email, is not showing up on my new email account.

Welcome to the Apple Community Gladys.
It sounds like you have set up an entirely new ID rather than just changing your existing ID.
You can see exactly what exists at...

Hi,
What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
(It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.

Understanding Your Bill and Keeping Customers

It would be very helpful if Comcast would add the year to your bill so you know when your contact expires. At the present time you indicate mm/dd example 06/28 not mm/dd/yy. Comcast does a great job calling you to add HBO or other programs but never to say we'd like to keep you as a customer and since your 12 month or 24 month promotion is expiring what can we do to keep you. Instead your bill goes up 21% after the first 14 months and then another 21% the start of the 2nd year. Most households do get more then 2 or 3 percent raise so having your cable bill go up 21% two years in a row is difficult for the average family to handle. I suspect that most homes do not believe that paying $89 is a promotion or good deal as you have no competetors in most neighorhoods so you can't choice a different provider. Please take the next step as the number one cable provider and call your customers to keep them not just offer them new capability. Look to keep your customers as I for one can't afford the increase from $108 last year to $144 this year to $175 next year.

I have to agree with the original post. I recently made payment arrangements for a very large bill from upgrading and other items added on. I made the payment on line on a Friday, then on Saturday I was receiving a message that I had missed my arranged payment. I did not respond as I figured that it was probably just an error, (and it was on the week-end, so did not have my confirmation number on me being that I made it at work). At any rate, on Tuesday I received another nasty notice, this time stating that my service was going to be disconnected if I did not make the payment immediatly. I had to borrow the money, (as my next payment was not going to be until my next payday) and worry while at the hospital with my mom. When I got into work today, I see that the arranged payment had actually posted on Saturday!!! When I contacted CS they did not even have an explanation of the harrassment. I feel that I am probably not the only one that this has happened to. I would call this a clear cut case of harrassment. I wonder how many lawyers would like to find out who else this has happened to? I believe that there are laws against this.

HT5278 Does your games and apps get wiped when you upgrade your iPad to the IOS 5.1.1

Hi I would like to know that if you upgrade your IPAD 2 to IOS 5.1.1 will all the stuff you have on your IPAD get wiped

For the sake of updating, it doesn't matter too much - but you can find it on the iPad through Settings -> About - Version. If your current version is 4.x or older, you'll have to do it through iTunes... but even if you have a newer version, if you want to be extra sure that you'll keep your data then do it through iTunes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623) and make sure to let iTunes fully back-up your iPad before you start the update.

KEEP YOUR $100 AND UPGRADE MY 4GB!
