Looking to buy a new mp3 pla

My last (and only) mp3 was a Zen Touch 20GB, which I loved dearly. But, alas, the HDD died. Couldn't fix, don't know why I didn't send off. But anyway. Is the menu system/player software basically the same as the Zen Touch (obviously refined)?
I liked the fact that my ZT had 24hr battery life and a nice way to scroll, so can someone perhaps suggest a player with similar advantages? I'm asking here as people will know which players tend to have problems and which are genuinely worth purchasing.
Do any Creative players support id3v2.4 tags, or just v2.3. And do any players support album artist tags? Or will I just have to navigate via album, as I did with the Zen Touch?
One last thing, I'm not fussed about pictures and video, just a solid mp3 player that does exactly that.Message Edited by Dragon on 2-2-200708:39 PM

well, if you liked navigating the touch i would def say go for the vision m: it uses a similar vertical scroller but is better refined, and has a fat battery life as well (always a plus). Although it has photos and videos that youre not interesed (but which you may well come to be soon..), the album art feature is def a bonus and failr sure they can hangle the new tag systems. as for other features im waiting for something that rellly gives the vision m a run for its money - especially its usb host funcionality (brilliant for travlers)

Buying New MP3 Pla

I plan to buy a new MP3 player. I have been reading post on problems that people are having. I am concerned that I?will not have these types of problems. First my computer OS is XP home, service package 3 with WMP . On my old MP3 I could download books and open them?using WMP and transfer to my MP3 without any problems. This was before I had to reformat my hard dri've and reinstall windows. So?WMP 0?is not on my hard dri've and I cannot roll back to it. My question is will my new?Creative MP3 install and work on my system?without all of the problems I have been reading about?

I'd say go for the Zen V Plus. It generally gets better feedback when compared to the Neeon 2. By personal experience, I can say that it's (the V) amazing. Nice and fullly featured, sweet screen and excellent sound quality. The extras make it worth having it as well. Just make sure you go for 4GB. or 2 gigs isn't enough, at least not for me. Some people have had some problems with getting it to work, but I managed to, by rolling back to WMP0 then reinstalling . If you are going to get the V,?I suggest you use Beta 2 of , because the full version won't recognize mine if it's docked for a long time (charging, etc.). Hope this helped, and I hope you enjoy whichever player you plan on getting.

Looking to Buy a New All-In-One Printer

I am looking to buy a new all-in-one Printer.
I have been using the Epson RX620 for a little over a year and have had great print results. Unfortunately I get a warning message yesterday that the printer needs servicing and nothing will work. After getting much less than desirable results from their Customer Support I am moving away from Epson, after three different Epson printers.
I have heard many good things about Canon printers. We will be printing bunches and bunches of photos(two small daughters + graphic artist wife = many, many photos). I am presently looking at the Canon MP600. Any goods or bads about said printer?
We do want a printer that can use cheap cartridges so HP is out of the question. Any other recommendations is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

The only thing that ****** me off about Epson is that they shut down their toll free phone tech support!
I had to rely on their email support to set up my new Epson printer (CD/DVD loading tray) which wasn't so bad as it was very detailed & hands on. I just couldn't understand their manual. I was having one of my "senior moment" days.
Those Canon printers are handsome! I almost ended up getting one. But, the Epson printers won because they are the only ones who can print directly on CD/DVDs & all the software is included.

I am looking to buy a new iMac....help please.

I am looking to buy a new iMac, and I started a search on Craigslist for fun, and it seems as if some people have some really good deals on the model mb325ll/a. It is the 2.8 ghz version with 2 gigs of ram and a 320gb hard drive.
This is not a model sold in the Apple Retail store, so I am a little hesitant, but the guy said it is the business model. Is this true?
What kind of warranty would it come with if I am an individual user and not a business? Do I miss out on anything? Please give any advice you may have. Thanks.

There is no such thing as a "business" Mac, versus one for an individual consumers. You should look at this list, and find your model and complete specifications.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
Based on the information you provided, it sounds like this one
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.8-24-inch-alu minum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
which is last year's (early 2008) model, not the current model (early 2009).
If it is being sold as used, the standard warranty is in effect for one year after its original sale. If it is being sold as new, the standard warranty is for one year. You can check the warranty status using the iMac's serial number.
You can also compare the price to the same iMac model on Apple's +Special Deals+ (refurb) page. It happens to be available currently as a refurb, if this is the same model.

Apple certified refurbished Macs have the same warranty as new. From my experience, they look and operate like new.

Yes, but it's much cheaper to buy RAM from a reliable supplier like Crucial or OWC.

Im looking to buy the new ipad but Iv a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular...if one HAD to pick between the two what would u pick

I'm looking to buy the new ipad but I've a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular. If one HAD to pick between bigger storage space or the added cellular which would u pick? Please help!

Like I said, I only have WiFi iPads, and don't know much at all about the data plans, but I don't think that you have to commit to a long term contract and I believe that there are plans that you can cancel at any time. My point is that if you sign up for a plan, and you use it say 4 months out of the year, you could be spending that money that you saved on the original cost of the iPad and even more in the future.
Actually, you can look at the AT&T plans here.

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade. Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
Just some thoughts.

New to the iMac and apple

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you aren't going to use your Mac for anything special (Final Cut, Aperture, Photoshop, games...), you don't need that graphic card and you will save money.
Also, as it looks like you are going to buy the 27-inch iMac, I recommend you to buy the Mac with 8 GB of memory, and then, buy the memory that your iMac needs in OWC or Crucial (the iMac supports 32 GB of RAM) > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L
Doing this, you will save a lot of money. Also, it won't void the warranty of the Mac. If you need help installing the RAM, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5540

New MP3 Pla

I've been researching prices for MP3 Players. Thanks to Cat I decided to buy myself a new MP3 player, but I'm not sure what one I want. I don't have a large amount of music, but I want the space to hold more then 40-50 from my 256 MB TX FM but I don't know exactly what one.
I looked up the Zen Nano or Zen Nano Plus, looked at their prices and figured they were pretty good in CAN dollars, little less without taxes then what I payed for my 256 on eBay, with about the space I want, but I haven't found any reveiws. If anyone has any reveiws on it, lemme know.
Again, Thanks in Advance
Kaez

For reviews go to amazon.com and do a search for your player. Lots of comments from a lot of people who have actually purchased the player.
Another place for reviews is pcworld.com
I just ordered a new Creative Zen Nano Plus GB in pink for $69.99US (no shipping, no tax) from amazon.com. If you are ordering from amazon, make sure your player is coming from them, not a third party seller. This way you will have a warranty. Keep your receipt.

Need new MP3 pla

Well my 30gb Zen Xtra MP3 player just became a paperweight today- It had been a year and a half since i bought it used so it li'ved a full life. Unfortunately it died with my 0gb of music, 2gb of videos, and other random things (as data). Sad loss- Should have backed up.
Anyway, I'm looking for a new MP3/4 player.. any suggestions? I want something that had a similar interface to my Xtra (with the playlists on the go, unsure if thats rare nowdays), also preferably much smaller. Under $200?Message Edited by gizmofo on 04-30-200707:20 PM
Im looking at the Zen vision:m which Newegg is listing for 75 after rebate.. good buy?Message Edited by gizmofo on 04-30-200707:29 PM

Hi Gizmofo!
What are your requirements for a player? Essentially, how much space do you need? What features do you want? Do you want to be able to play video, or is it more important that the player is small?
The Zen Vision:M would definitely be a good choice. If you want something a big smaller, check out the Zen V Plus. The interface on both is similar, and both do playlists on the go.

Looking to buy a new iMac 27"

Hi to all and thanks for looking,
As the subject suggests I'm on the edge of buying a new iMac 27" i7 with 8GB of RAM but what puts me off at the moment is the Graphics Card. I mean ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics with 512MB is the best Apple can do on such a beast? Any news on a new Graphs Card or maybe a option where you can choose a better Graphs Card? I intend to use this machine for gaming, DX11 would also be nice....
Many thanks in advance!

Better to post this on the iMac Intel forum

My two cents. I'd wait for some revisions. I've heard from a tech that they are still suffering from various problems, the flickering screen among them.

Can this issue on my iPod touch be fixed or should I look into buying a new one?

http://i.imgur.com/Fjp5tXO.jpg
Is this screen issue on my iPod touch 4th gen fixable somehow. I realy don't want to have to buy a new one and I'm fairly sure the warranty is expired. It has been dropped a few times but nothing too serious if I recall right. There is a small dent in the side of the iPod where the little dark spot on the upper left is. Some research I've done suggests that maybe it's an issue with the LCD. Resetting the iPod has no effect. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like screen problem to me..
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Looking to buy a new Nokia - advice needed!

I have seem similar threads from people interested in buying a new Nokia, normally I would just add to those threads instead of starting yet another but I thought this would be best as my desired specifications are different from those I have come across.
Like other people I have looked on various review sites but these have just made matters more difficult due to mixed responses.
I currently have a sony ericsson w580i and have had numerous problems since I bought it. Mainly it is not very durable which is one of the reasons I have decided to look at Nokias - I have had two Nokias in the past, both of which survived being dropped a few times ending up with only a few scratches - no cracked buttons like my w580i.
I am not looking for a phone with an amazing camera - I have my own camera for that - and I'm not overly fussed about having decent music player capabilities as I have an ipod. I have used these features a little with my w580i but not enough to justify choosing a phone based on these.
I like storing my texts as I have a lot that I need to refer back to at later dates, and I send texts a lot more often than I make calls, so a phone with decent text storage is the main thing I am looking for. I do receive a few calls though so a phone that provides clear sound when in a call would be preferable.
I have been looking at the 5310 model but the more negative reviews are due to the phone, particularly the screen, cracking very easily when dropped and the lack of clear sound when in calls. I realise it is a music phone but is available on Tesco mobile which is what I am looking to move to.
It is also in my budget of less than £70 (I may pay more depending on the phone but I will not go above £100)
Any recommendations for other models would be greatly appreciated, whatever network they are available on.
Thanks in advance
Message Edited by pomico on 05-Jul-2008 07:19 PM

Hmm. If you want something that can store a lot of text messages, you're going to want to look at a phone that runs Symbian S60 because they allow storage of messages on a memory card inserted into the phone while older S40 phones do not. And you're not going to find (m)any S60 phones under the £100 mark. About the cheapest one I can think of is the 6120 classic and that's going at about £160.
Now, if you are willing to store less messages in the phone and transfer them to your PC from time to time, you could get by with an S40 phone such as the 2760 (clamshell, £68) or 2600 classic (candybar, £79).

Looking to buy a new system! Need advice!

Looking to buy a brand new mac and somewhat confused by the choices.
Firstly, speed. The default is "Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon" and I'm wondering what I will get if I go higher. Is it worth going to 3?
The other question I have is about the graphics cards.
I work in the ad business and deal with graphics and some FCP, but not sure which is best.
Will definitely get a cinema display.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

If you work professionally and do a lot of FCP, Motion or other highly processor intense work it is probably worth it to spend the extra money since a little speed here and there will make you money...but in that case, go 8 core. Most folks won't see a huge difference between the 2.66 and 3GHz models. Maxing RAM is more important than processor speed for almost everyone. By max I don't mean 32gb . IMHO not much point in getting a Mac Pro without the ATI card. Some things won't need or use it but enough opportunities will arise to make it worth while for anyone doing video and graphics to say nothing of the occasional game. If I were you, in the ad business, I'd look at professional monitors like Eizo. That's what I settled on after extensive comparisons and I'm very glad I did. Get at least 8 gb of RAM. 4x2gb is probably the best configuration to start with so as to allow even more RAM later. I got 4x1gb and am moving to 8gb soon. Adequate. Get the smallest 160gb drive that is offered then put it on a shelf. If you are going to do HD then you'll want to look at RAID arrays. If you are going to do simple DV then populate your machine with 4 x 1TB drives and you're good to go till they fill up heh.

Looking to buy a new iMac to do Open Uni course using Windows

Hello,
I've been using Mac since summer of 2007 when we got a MacBook Pro. In October I'm starting an Open University course and will require to buy a new computer that runs Windows in order to do this course.
As I've now become familiar with Mac I am somewhat loathe to buy another PC and have learned that it is now possible to run Windows on a Mac using Bootcamp.
Last week I visited my local Apple Reseller (we don't have Apple Stores in Switzerland yet) to get some advice about this. I told the lady behind the desk I wanted to buy a 24" 3.06GHz iMac but she wasn't much help and found her computer screen more interesting than trying to sell me a 2600chf computer. She wasn't able to tell me where I could get Windows from to run on a Mac, nor how much it would cost. Infact she couldn't tell me very much as unfortunately I'm not 100% familiar with the Apple product range, I never knew the exact specifications of the machine I want to buy. It was pretty much a wasted trip and her efforts to get me to hand over my green were seriously limited.
Hopefully someone on here can give me a bit of advice about running Windows on a Mac, or at least point me to a place where it's already been discussed.
The main things I want to know are: How much is Windows for a Mac? Is it as easy to use as all the Mac applications I have become familiar with? Can I buy an iMac with Windows pre-installed, including adequate virus protection and internet security?
Cheers

There is no such thing as Windows for a Mac. You simply purchase any Windows installer package from any software vendor that sells it. See Boot Camp 2.0- Which versions of Microsoft Windows are supported? to find out which Windows versions are installable under Boot Camp if that's the method you decide to use to run Windows. See below for other options.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.
You can visit the Apple Online Store website to learn about the various Apple models, find downloadable manuals, machine specifications, tutorials, etc.
Retailers generally do not sell Macs with Windows installed. There you are on your own.
