Looks worse in the store??

I saw Apple TV today on display in the NYC 5th ave store and Jon Stewart looked worse than VHS. I mean he looked like internet video from 5 years ago. When I came home and looked at an itunes Daily Show on my Powerbook hooked to the same LCD TV (through VGA) it didn't look as bad. Kinda perplexed that Apple would display this thing without the highest quality material. In any case it was enough to keep the box away for the time being. I think VHS decks are selling for $20 these days if at all - not $300.
Oh yes, but the menus looked so cool. Funny I've never heard a restaurant review that was so excited about how the menus looked. It's usually about the food.

...If someone asks me, how such and such a restaurant was last Saturday, I cannot really give a truthful answer as I only, passed by and smelt how bad it was. What I didnt know was what else was cooking inside...but based on that single smell, I made my mind up and told my friends it was horrible...
P.S. a VCR is easily bought on ebay for 50 cents, however, atm, you won't find an AppleTV for quite that cheap...

  • There are no decent "Auto Reply SMS" apps out there. Besides for looking everyday in the store, is there a way to be notified when a new one crops up?

    I am new to the iPhone world and I have the 4S. I just switched over from the Android World. I know there are no "auto reply SMS" applications out there as I've checked everywhere (store and 'net) looking for one. In this world of trying to be safe while driving I cannot believe Apple as the leader in the industry hasn't developed something yet to deal with this. I entered a shortcut in my keyboard of "qq" to be a "I'm driving right now...." auto text but I cannot believe there is nothing out there right now. My question, besides if anyone knows of anything for a non-jailbroke phone, is how can I find something once it comes out without checking the store so often? I set up a Google alert but is that about all I can hope for??

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • I paid for and tried to download the song "Cryin" by Aerosmith but it won't let me download the song each time I go to the store and click on available downloads, it looks like it's downloading and I get an error message that the file is corrupt

    I paid for and tried to download a song from itunes but the song won't dowload! When I got to store and click on available downloads it looks like it's downloading but I keep getting a message that the file is corrupt.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • I have a new iPad Air and in using the App Store, it seems frozen with an app that I didn't want.   I cannot look at other apps in the store or anything.  How do I unfreeze it?  Something equivalent to Control Alt Delete with Window.

    I have an iPad Air just acquired yesterday.   The App Store seems to be frozen and I have on idea how to undo it.  It is as if i clicked on an app to download and it came up but it is frozen.  I cannot get rid of it or go to anything else in the App Store.   I tried downloading that app and opening it - didn't help.  Guess what I am looking for is the equivalent of Control +Alt+Delete in Windows.  Thanks.

    Double tap your home button and open apps will appear above as smaller screen shots.  With your finger swipe the open app upwards and it will fully close.
    The cntrl/alt/delete option on an iPad is a reboot and to do so, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.

  • I am looking for software to store photos with.  I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

    I am looking for software to store photos with.  I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

    That's how Time Machine and iPhoto now work.  Restore the library to one of the external HDs, check it for the photos you want, export them to the boot drive and delete the restored library.
    If you know the file name of the photo you're looking for you can search for them in the TM backup using Find Any File.
    My workflow allows me to do that:
    1 - upload new photos to a folder on the Desktop.
    2 - name the folder to represent the contents and date: 01/03/10-Toads Bday
    3 - use a file renaming app to sequentially rename the photos in the folder to: 2010-01-03-Toads Bday-001.JPG,  -002,JPG, -003.JPG,  etc.
    4 - import the folder into iPhoto creating an Event with the same title as the folder.
    Now I can search for those file by file name with any app of my choosing.

  • If I go to a Verizon store tomorrow, Tuesday September 23, will there be any iPhone 6's available? I do not want the iPhone 6+, just the regular iPhone 6. I am looking to buy the 64 gb silver version, but will buy the 128 gb version if needed.

        Thanks for taking an interest in upgrading to a new phone. We would recommend calling the store before making a trip to see if they have you want in stock.

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Official Apple reseller says "iPhone 5s's camera is much worse than the other"

    Hi Apple support and fans,
    I am writing to ask you and maybe get Apple's attention to what happened to me. I bought an iPhone 5s 8 days ago. I bought it from official Apple reseller in Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. And then my adventures began.
    First, the plug is British, not Polish, because as the reseller said "we have some iPhone not from official distribution, but it will work". Because I needed to buy an iPhone5s fast, I accepted that. However, the question is still there - is it legal to sell British iPhones "from unofficial distribution channel" in Poland?
    Second, and more important, my iPhone 5s makes horrible blurred pictures. I mean they are really blurred... I read all the posts on this forum and I tried everything. Finally I decided to visit the reseller and here is what their representative said: "These pictures are totally fine. They are blurred, as this is not a professional camera". Wow! What a discovery. I know that this is not a professional camera, but I know how photos from an iPhone (4 and 4s) might look like. So I replied that something is strange and I wanted to give my iPhone back to check it (under warranty). The representative replied: "We will not take it, and I'm telling you the pictures are all fine. The camera in iPhone 5s is much worse than it was in iPhone 4s and hence the blurred photos. Just live with that". 
    And now my questions:
    1. Is it true that the pictures must be blurred in iPhone 5s, just because it works so? I can't bvelieve it.
    2. Isn't the fact that they sell iPhones from "unofficial channels" the reason why they don't want to take the iPhone under warranty?
    If anyone from Apple wants to take a closer look at this issue and maybe discover some "strange" actions from Polish official Apple reseller, I'm open to provide you much more details on the purchase, the store location, etc.
    Looking forward to hearing from you,
    Kuba

    iPhones are ONLY sold by Carriers and Apple an Apple reseller is unlikely to be authorised for iPhones and certainly would not sell an iphone with a foreign plug
    You have clearly purchased a grey import a genuine Polish sourced iPhone sold by a legitimate iPhone reseller would have the correct plug for the Country
    Big issue you have is warranty you need to take to an Apple authorised repairer

    luckily as long as iPhone came from UK you do have warranty ,EU is one "country" for Apple warranty purposes

  • AT&T customers service reps. (Phone) and in the store not on the same page!

    On 6/27/15, I called into the 1(800) number to order a new phone and change my plan to the "Next" plan.  I went through whole process with the rep over the phone.  I asked if I could pick up the phone from the AT&T store in my area.  She told me I would have to go into the store and got through the process there.  She stated, I would only have to pay the taxes (around $42) on the phone and pick what installment plan I wanted.  Well I went into the store and spoke with a sales rep. picked the phone I wanted and proceeded with the process.  First I was told I had to pay my bill which was not an issue $127  the rep double charged my card. In which a manager had to fix.  Then I was told I had to pay $200  for downpayment to be on the Next plan.  When questioned was told oh we do this for customers getting an additional line, t(the rep I spoke to that morning said paid the taxes for the phone) so I paid the $200.  On 7/9/15 upon paying my bill I happened to look at the details of my account.  I notice the charge of $201 on 6/27/15 but my bank account reflected the amount of $242. from AT&T.  So I called customer service and spoke with a rep by the name of Robert.  Robert explained the confusion then, stated I did not have to pay the $201 for the Next plan.  I asked if I could have the $201 moved towards my bill, he stated yes it would not be an issue.  When he tried to make the adjustment he was unable to and informed me that I would have go into the store.  He also verified with his supervisor of the issue. He said he would have all the info needed documented on my account.  Later that day I went on the AT&T site to remove the mobile TV app and was unable do. So I got on the chat live contacted a rep Arvin, who helped me with issue.  Then I asked him the same question in reference the Next plan.  He confirmed with a supervisor that indeed I did not have to pay downpayment, just the tax.  He also put in notes on my account and said go into the store.  I arrive to the store (Snellville, GA) and was approached by Pamela.  I told her the issue and she proceed to tell me, that AT&T runs credit checks for additional lines. Which when I transferred to AT&T they ran a credit check.  But for an additional line and switch to another plan. I told her what the other 4 reps which includes the original rep that I started the initial order on the morning of 6/27 told me.  Pamela stated that they were wrong and did not know what they were talking about and they don't deal with customers as the store does. And she would look at my account and see.  I told her I have the print out of the chat from Arvin.  After she read the notes she proceeded to tell me I was wrong and the other reps were wrong and then she called the 800 number spoke with a customer service and the rep she spoke with told her "NO" they don't do that and I was correct in what I was saying about my the issue.  Pamela told her, she was incorrect and that she need to go read the regulations and gave her reg to look up.  During this time my mom was with me and she informed me a family friend was supervisor for AT&T Corporate office and to call her.  In which we did and she stated the same of course Pamela said we wrong and was nice nasty in reference to it as in being a know it all that she just couldn't be wrong.  My issue wasn't resolved and I felt like AT&T took my money and called myself and the 5 employees that worked there liars.  For a company that has been on the news for overcharging their customers you would think that your company would have better customer service and all on the same page.  And if the majority and a Supervisor were agreeing and saying that same thing. Pamela should have did the change on the account and not have a customer your company says it values to leave the store feeling the way I did.  Meaning knowing that I was upset and that I was told the same thing by 5 employees of your company, Pamela should have tried to compensate me or made sure that I wouldn't have any thoughts of going to another phone company.  I was made to feel like I was lied to.  It's bad enough when you walk into the stores the reps are on you like vultures.  And you feel overwhelmed and like you're at car lot.  And the reps are wheeling and dealing for their commission.  Now I'm concerned if I chose the right company???

    I didn't even do the survey and the reps in the store said it had to be done over the phone I just never called back I had already taken time to drive to the store I wasn't about to waste more time dealing with an upgrade over the phone I just figured doing an upgrade over the phone would be the same as doing it in the store I don't understand what the difference is

  • I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

    Question:-
    I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
    Answer:-
    For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
    Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here  and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
    (I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
    NOTES:-
    The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
    This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
    The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
    MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
    @mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
    The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

    Question:-
    So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name.  It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message.  What do I do next ?
    Answer:-
    Open iChat
    Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
    Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
    If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
    Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat  (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
    If you have a Blue Globe name  (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
    Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
    Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
    Then change the password in iChat as details above.
    Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
    Open iChat if not launched.
    Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    Click the Add ( + )  Button at the bottom of the list.
    Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
    Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
    Add in the password.  (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
    Click Done.
    The Buddy List should open (New Window)
    The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
    You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
    You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

    I have iTunes, latest version, open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice but problem continues.

    Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
    Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".

Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.
