Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Just placed my order for a MBP through the Apple Store, it's a CTO, as I changed my ram to 2x512 and my hard disk to a 7200rpm unit. the processor is a 2.0ghz.
I sure hope my unit comes without the inverter/screen buzz and the CPU whine! and oh, no dead pixels too.
I get nightmares after reading the discussion boards. Seems like a huge majority of MBP users are complaining of one thing or another. I would've held my purchase back if it wasn't for the fact that I'm going overseas for my studies in a month's time and I absolutely need a computer by then.
Sigh, keep your fingers crossed for me please!

well i was kinda thinking that with 2x512 sticks, i save a little off the price, and when i need to upgrade, i'll purchase 2 sticks of 1GB ram without apple's premium. at the same time, i could sell off my 2 512 sticks to offset the cost of my 2GB ram modules.
a little troublesome i know. haha

    this person just came harrassing my girlfriend into trying to force her to give her password to him (which she didn't ofcourse) but since we don't know if this is a distraction while trying to hack your password, I figured I'd drop this here so you're all warned.

  • HT201328 how do you keep your iPhone unlocked for longer than 5 minutes? say, 45minutes?

    While jogging, I want to 'like' Pandora songs, but must I keep unlocking?!?! - really frustrating. I could keep phone unlocked for entire jog under old system.

    Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and change it to 1 hour.

  • UPGRADED TO 7.2 & STILL WORKING -- KEEPING FINGERS CROSSED!

    Just so everyone knows... I just upgraded the other day to iTunes 7.2 and bought an album to test. STILL PLAYING ON THE V3i!! SO FAR SO GOOD -- KEEPING FINGERS CROSSED! THANKS APPLE!!
    Compaq   Windows XP  

    i've tried disconnecting the X-station and running logic on built in audio but exactly the same happens.
    after more messing, i've found that there are a whole load of songs which won't play audio, these are all in one folder and are an album project.
    other songs in other foldres seem to play OK.
    i haven't made any changes to the folder and am totally confused as to what is happening.
    when i open these songs and press play, i get a horrible click or pop but then no audio. however when i press stop i get the reverb tail of an audio track.
    i thought i'd finished the album which is why i thought it was safe to install the 7.2 upgrade, however now the artist wants a few changes and i can't do anything at the moment.

    Do you get any sound from any sessions other than
    what you've described?
    Does this also happen with internal/BuiltIn Audio?

  • Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folder

    Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folde and has no folders unlike most messaging features on other phones.
    Many thanks
    Mark

    Why do you need a Sent folder?  iOS's Messaging interface lays each conversation out like a chat or IM.  Personally, I find that much more convenient.

  • Why is there no fingers crossed emoji?

    Why is there no fingers crossed emoji? My friend sent me a text and it said "fingers crossed" and she likes to use emojis in her writing so I sent her back "There's no emoji for that?" in which she proceeded to go into a deep depression because there was indeed no "fingers crossed" emoji. Im sure there are many ideas for emojis but this one seems to be one that nobody has ever thought about yet it would probably be a great idea to add to the Apple game. If Apple does not feel this necessary to add I will then proceed to asking Android to add it to their keyboard and then they will proceed into "thinking different" from Apple and rise to the top. Thank you for your time and may the odds be ever in my favor. (P.S. I really want this to be a thing)

    Send Apple feedback through the official channels.  See the Contact Us link on the bottom of this page.
    Threatening Apple with some kind of vague Android threat is ludicrous.
    Your friend needs to seek help if she becomes depressed over this.

  • I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

    I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
    I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet.  My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses.  I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work.  However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account.  Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses.  Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

  • How to keep that valve open for certain period of time and shut off automatically

    Hi everyone,
    The objective of the VI is to measure pH and then open acid or base valve based on pH valve. Below is my UNFINISHED VI
    My question is:  if, for example, the  pH is 10, then, the program will open acidic valve for 5 seconds and then shut off automatically. After that, wait for 5 second. this process will go on and on as I use while loop, but I just dont know how to control the valve on for 5sec and off and then wait for 5sec.
    Anyone can help me out?    Thank you very much
    In the picture, please enter those values before running
    P.S The VI is based on previously posted vi by someone who made it 1 yrs ago.

    1. The reason the valves close immediately is that the Elapsed Time VI does not cause any wait, it only measures the time. So the valves closed within a small fraction of a second of the time they opened.
    2. I modified your VI to wait until the Elapsed Time has ended.  See the "wait" state.  I probably modified some of your other functionality in the process, but this shows one way you could do the timing. 
    3. You do not need any Value property nodes.  They should never be used if the value can be wired directly.
    4. You do not need any sequence structures. Dataflow will determine the order of things occurring.
    5. If you use an enum for the state machine (and it is a good way to name and select states), you should make it a type def. Then when you need to change it as I did to add several states, you only need to change the Type Def in one place and the changes propagate through to every place you used the control or constants derived from it.
    6. I added a Halt state which will close both valves before stopping the program.  When you are controlling a real world process, it is important to consider the start up and shutdown requirements. For example the digital outputs of the USB-6008 default to inputs when the device is first powered up. And, the inputs are pulled high by a 4700 ohm resistor (at least I think I recall that value). Will this open your valves before the program starts running and sets the I/O lines to outputs and forces them low?
    The USB-6008 has rather limited drive on the digital lines. You will probably need a buffer between it and the valve coils.
    PID and PWM are more complicated than I want to get into here.  First, are your valves proportional or on/off? Second, (assuming that they are on/off) how fast can you open and close them without destroying them in the first week? What is their expected lifetime in terms of the number of operations? How fast do you need to be able to change them to keep your pH where you want it?  Are these values compatible?

  • How to keep iphone wifi on for Apple TV but only use phone data to stream

    As crazy as it sounds, our Internet Service Provider has now limited our home data usage but my iPhone data is unlimited. We have an Apple TV that we usually stream video through (Netflix, movies, etc.) but that uses our home wifi data. Is there a way to connect my iPhone to our Apple TV and make it use my phone's data instead of the wifi data? I really don't want to create a separate network for both of them since it won't be connected to the Internet for other things and when I'm not there. We also would like to keep our ISP since it is the fastest around with the least amount of service interruptions.

    Hi Atagahi,
    Firstly, have you emailed Apple iTunes support indicating your issue? There have been instances in which Apple will allow re-downloading of all content you've purchased on the iTunes store.
    Secondly, I highly recommend you get an external usb hard drive, attach it to your mini and use it as a Time Machine drive to keep your iTunes purchases safe. It's a fact of life that all hard disk drives will eventually fail. The Apple TV should never be used as any kind of permanent storage space; think of it as a 'temporary holding' zone. And as you've unfortunately already experienced, a glitch wiped out all content on the Apple TV.
    As regards your original question, it seems like there have been folks who've done just that...taken the internal drive in the Apple TV out and attached it to a mac and copied files from the Apple TV hard drive. I have not had to do such, so I cannot offer any help here except for Linda's suggestion on googling the net for solutions.
    Good luck and hope you get all your purchased content back Atagahi!

  • I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • Keep your Firefox in Sync

    The page on this:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync?esab=a&s=Keep+your+Firefox+in+Sync&r=7&as=s
    is lame.
    It does not state, let alone clarify, whether the sync is one way or two way.
    In other words. Does this sync my primary firefox use, on my primary computer, with other devices, so that they see what I have done on my primary computer (what I want)
    OR
    Does it sync what I do on either device with the other?
    OR
    Can you choose which of these happens?
    NOTHING of this is mentioned on the page.
    AND there is no link to further information or settings.
    I guess I will stick with XMarks (in which all this is clearly stated)
    (To add to my disapointment here, there is no option to select to ensure being notified of responses!?)

    Sorry, the Firefox Sync service isn't available for new signups for the Sync service on versions of Firefox prior to Firefox 29, the latest release. Sync is available to current users of Sync, who have older versions of Firefox for a few more months - but my guess is that by the time Firefox 33 is out and the new ESR version is completely released, that compatibility period will end. Also, all device have be using the "old" or new version of Sync; once a Firefox Account is updated to the new Sync version it won;t connect to devices still using the old Sync version.
    As far as what Sync actually "synchronizes", the various types of data are user selectable per device - but overall the goal is to have all Firefox installations be a mirror of the other installations. Certain types of data sync ''(like tab and browsing history)'' is truncated on mobile devices, though.

  • How do I change the DNS settings to BC but keep the MX setting for emails?

    How do I change the DNS settings to Business Catalyst but keep the MX settings for emails?
    I'm basically created anew site using Muse and want to host it on BC and upgraded to the Web basics + to allow for hosting of downloadable pdf's etc.
    There are up to 50+ emails address set up on the current set up and I want to just change the NDS settings for the domain to ponit to the new site/hosting an not have to worry about them chaning all the meail settings etc.
    Records do I need to change in BC?
    Thanks
    Iain

    Hi,
    You shouldn't need to do anything as long as you do not state hosting email with BC.  Just ensure to check you DNS in a lookup tool that it's still referencing your external email service.
    Otherwise you can set up external email set-up if the option is present.
