Lossless quality in the future? (and how do you burn a pink floyd album?)

$9.99 for an album is very impressive, yet there are some problems that keep me from buying albums from the music store which I would like answered.
-Will Apple ever give customers the option to download music in lossless formats? Until they do, I will have to go to a retail store to buy music because I will not pay for an inferior encryption.
-Is there any way to download albums that use crossfaded tracks (such as The Wall by Pink Floyd) and burn them without the gaps but with track numbers? On the website, I read that you can select "import as one track" but then you lose the track numbers, or you can set the gap between songs to "none" but then you still have gaps in between songs. Is there any solution on the horizon?
Thanks

StarDeb55, are you serious about that... CD quality cannot be offered for download? I suppose that's a silly question. I guess I'm just a little shocked, disappointed, and angered by this bit of news.
Not to sound like an audio elitist, but the ONLY place I can listen to these otherwise crappy 128k AACs is in my car when there's lots of road noise or through a pair of really inaccurate headphones with the treble frequencies debiased.
The compressions artifacts are just too much. They make all the songs sound like a wall of noise with no depth or nuance IF you compare them to the real thing from a store-bought CD, except of course in exceptional cases when the music starts out sounding nasty from the studio.
There are naysayers who claim that the psychoacoustics employed in lossy audio compression algorithms make no audible difference, but these people are simply tone deaf or otherwise not observant enough to notice, period. They assume that if they cannot hear the difference, then no one can. Of course this is not the case as many people cringe a bit at what passes for music-quality sound nowadays. That in itself speaks volumes.
I hope that some kind of lossless audio can be sold online soon. I feel it would be a success. I enjoy the convenience iTunes offers, what with the HUGE collection of music. I really wish it was of higher quality so that I could enjoy it everywhere and no longer feel the need to physically buy the real CD. The recording industry would still make money--perhaps even more.

When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked?so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

As has been said, the iPhone itself can't be hacked this way, as far as anyone currently knows.
Your Apple ID is another story. Any kind of online accounts can be hacked, and Apple IDs are no exception. If someone hacks your Apple ID, they could see all the data in the associated iCloud account, such as contacts, and could send those contacts texts that would appear to come from you. If that were to happen, you should see an alert on your other devices that your Apple ID is being used with Messages on a new device.
If you have not seen that alert, it's unlikely that this problem is occurring due to such a hack. In that case, it would be more likely that either someone has gotten their hands on your phone, or some other Apple device registered to your Apple ID, and has used it to send that message. Or that the person claiming you sent a picture is lying for some reason.
If you believe your Apple ID may have been hacked, you should change your password immediately (at appleid.apple.com). You should also seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID.

What is the Debugger and how do you turn it off?

Hi folks, I'm updating a site for a client and when I open
the home page
http://www.imcnewcastle.com
I get this annoying pop up from Adobe flash player 10 asking
if my debugger
is on this machine or host application and it locks up if I
try to connect
to local.
What the heck is this and how do I keep it from turning on? I
don't want
browsers to get locked up.
Thanks

It's annoying when you don't want to bebug, I agree, but the
situation
you're describing is really useful when you need to debug
Flash content in a
browser. ;)
> What the heck is this and how do I keep it from turning

> I don't want browsers to get locked up.
Assuming you have the FLA source file, open it in the Flash
authoring
tool and head over to File > Publish Settings. Select the
Flash tab, then
uncheck the "Permit debugging" checkbox, then republish the
SWF.
Here's more information on debugging:

In FF (30.0) Password Manager, when you open Edit, what are all the fields and how do you fill them in?

When you open Edit, there are two choices: Web form and annotated.
What is the difference?
Then, there are fields for Host, Submit Prefix, Username, Password, etc.
How do you fill in these fields?
When you click to have the manager "Guess from Current Page," all fields don't necessarily get filled in, so is it just for username and password?
I use the edit feature constantly, so it's a little odd not to see more detailed instructions here.
When I click on Tools, the Saved Password Dialog is on the list, so it's on my toolbar all the time.
I use it constantly.
What is the latest in password security? I know there are competing ideas. What does Mozilla think?
Thank you.

Hmm, could this be a feature of your extension, "Saved Password Editor"? The support article ([[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]) doesn't show those changes when I switch the version from 29 to 30 in the left column.

HT1386 what is included in the other section of the iphone and how do you reduceit

while syncing my iphone 4s the "other" section on the bar at the bottom jumped up to take up 5.42 gb out of no where. what is in this section and how do i remove things from there?

The "other" is normally <1 GB, and includes the iOS, app data, messages and email. If it expands, this usually means ther is either corrupted data or metadat (file system errors) in the phone.
To fix, Restore the phone, first using a backup and if needed as new (without using a backup)

All you can do is hide them from your purchased list. You cannot permaneently delete anything from your purchased history.
Also, these are not stored in your iCloud account storage space. The purchases reside in the online store and all you see is a list of those purchases made with your account, with a cloud-link to redownload them, but you are merely re-downloading them directly from the store.

What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

I purchased the iPad mini Wi-Fi & Cell because it has GPS. OK, it is assisted GPS but the GPS works very well as stand alone. I got the iPad mini for use in flight, so I dont even have a sim card in it. The GPS works perfectly in flight under all conditions. I have cross checked it against typical approved aircraft installations and it is very accurate at all times. I use it in Wi-Fi mode on the ground when updating my aviation database, when planning a flight, or similar circumstances. The primary advantage of A-GPS is quick location reading when first turned on, when on the ground where the GPS satellites signal may be of reduced quality. At 10,000 feet plus, it is a stand alone GPS. I have frequently turned the iPad off in flight for periods of time and when powering up, it gave me accurate positioning in a few seconds, never exceeded 10 seconds. I have also tested my iPad on the ground, using the aviation maps, and the GPS works perfectly also.
It remains possible that there is some feature that enhances the GPS when on the ground, even if there is no sim card in the iPad. But I doubt that any of these would work in an aircraft at high altutide. Nonetheless, I would appreciate knowing more about this.

I exported a iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using BURN app, burned to DVD and exported to a USB flashdrive. The DVD looks great but flashdrive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make flashdrive sharper?

The DVD looks great and very sharp but the slideshow on the USB flash drive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make the slideshow on the flash drive look as sharp as the DVD?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.
