MBA 1ST GEN AND MBA 2ND GEN

hey mates! im actually studying and reading all the reviews and feedbacks from this forums. and im just so excited to finally buy my new MBA in exchage from my IBOOKG4.
I normally uses the laptop for: Internet surfing, word and excel, and some downloads for songs then my ipod. oh dont forget the pictures.
Do u think the First Gen MBA is enough for me to survive? or i should consider the new one? bec its BOXING day ang the first gen MBa is on sale for only 800pounds.
please help me. i really dont know what to buy and what to consider. also, next year ill be taking my MAsters so this NEW MBA will be my primary Computer, FYI.
Do you think what should i CONSIDER? thanks alot mates! ill be waiting for your mssgs! cheers! happy christmas!

Hey thank you very much for the speedy reply to this post. Actually, im a bit worried of the first gen bec of the reviews ive read like the noise in the fan, the speedy heating of the unit and do u think it is also available in the second gen? and is there any difference on the second gen of 1.6ghz?
a mate gave me a present this christmas-Its a Civilization4 game for mac. do u think i can play a game on the first gen 1.6ghz and/or 2nd gen MBA? cant really afford the 1.8ghz second gen for its really too much for me.
Not really a techy person and this ibookg4 was actually ages in me and its memory is not really full up to date. heheehehe.
purely internet surfing (yahoo, YM, MSN, Google, FAcebook etc. and mostly some MS office apps and some Masters documents in the future.
Do u think that spending extra 471pounds for a second gen MBA 1.6ghz will make a tremendous difference? thank you verymuch for the time and knowledge your sharing. this really helps!

Mini 1st Gen Harddrive in 2nd Gen mini

Hey there.. i have two ipod minis, one is a 1st gen and the other is a 2nd gen.
The 2nd gen's hard drive is giving me a wierd repetitive whirling sound and is displaying the sad ipod. However my first gen mini's harddrive is working fine.
So i carefully transferred the 1st gen's hd to the 2nd gen but then it didnt even notice it... it did the apple bootup then just reset without reading the hd. So then i put the hd back into the 1st gen and it worked fine :S.
The reason im wanting to use the 2nd gen mini is because the 1st gen's clickwheel "Play/Pause" button doesnt work.
Any suggestions? Should the 1st Gen Mini's hard drive work in the 2nd Gen Mini?

Are they the same capacity? I can look into it if you want.

IPhone 5 and iPad 2nd gen weak wifi pick up after iOs 8.0.2 update

Hi,
I have had my iPhone 5 since September 2012 when it first came out and had never have any problems with it with regards to picking up wifi signal. I had battery issues as the phone got older but it didn't really bother me and I had it sent over to Apple to have the sleep/wake button issue resolved about two weeks ago. Since then, I have purchased the iPhone 6 and gave my old iPhone to my husband. As I'm the one who deals with all the gadgets, I do the updating stuff. My iPhone 6 is on the latest iOs 8.0.2 and it doesn't have any problem whatsoever. My iPhone 5 and iPad 2nd gen (3g + wifi) also had the latest iOs update and both have recurring problems now. Both have problems picking up up wifi signals. Even when I have the iPhone 6 next to them, which has full bars (wifi), the two older gadgets are struggling to pick any signal at all. And if they actually get onto the internet, I only get 1 bar and the internet surfing on them are as sluggish as ever. The battery on the iPhone 5 has drastically gone downhill as well. I have tried to change the WPE/WPA2 connection on the router but it is still the same. I even tried to "Forget the network" and logged in manually again to no avail. The keychain thing on iCloud has been turned off but no change has been noticed. Is there anything else I can do to have this issue resolved? Thanks in advance!

HHowever, I am still looking for a way to bypass the "connect to iTunes" logo since I am in a location with only my iPad and I need to use my phone

I have a 4 gen Time Caps. and a 2nd Gen Airport Extreme I would like to extend my TC network to use the Extreme for the purpose of having internet available to my TV box wired. Is this possible and how to I get them to work together?

Thanks for the info, this really helps.
Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
It might be possible to use wireless to configure the Extreme, but I recommend using a wired connection. Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on AirPort Extreme.
The illustration below shows an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme on your screen.
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Extreme and click Next
Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures things for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
You can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you used for the set up now. Things should be working. The Extreme is providing additional wireless coverage the the Ethernet ports are enabled. You can connect to any port that you want since they all operate the same in this type of setup.

How can i get my music off of my email to my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPod 4th gen?

How can i get my music off of my email to my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPod 4th gen?

Find an app to which you can save the attachment and which also uses file sharing
iOS: About File Sharing
or similar to get the music into your computer. Import into iTunes library and sync to the iPod. There is no direct way to get music into your iPod Music app besides purchasing from iTunes or syncing from your iTunes library
GoodReader should work but I do not think it is available for the 2G

1st Gen V.S. 2nd Gen

In need of opinions...
Refurb (from Apple) 1st Gen iPod Touch 8GB - $190.64
New 2nd Gen iPod Touch 8GB - $243.89
From what Ive seen, the differences are: Volume Buttons, Speaker, New Design, Genius
Do you think those differences are worth $50 more?? I know its early and no one has one...but Im just lookin for some thoughts.

I'd go for the new Gen2, but that is me. The one thing that has always drove me nuts with the current version is no speaker. There are times when I'd like to just check out a video or review something in the news where there is audio and I either have to go get earphones or plug it into a speaker system. That alone would be worth the difference.
I am honestly considering selling my current 32gb and buying one of the newer 32gb even if it cost me a little more. The sleek look is nice, but not worth the upgrade. I am still pondering my options, but would sure love to have that speaker! Wish I could hear one. I also really like the volume buttons along the side.
Everyone has different needs and wants so you'll have to decide based on that. If the speaker and volume controls aren't that worthy to you, then keep the refurb Gen1 and save your money.

I have a 2010 MBP and a 2nd gen apple TV. How do I get them to mirror with Mavericks is possible at all?

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro and what I think is the 2nd Gen Apple TV( its the black one that does 720 not 1080p). I have recently installed Mavericks on my MBP, but I do not see the morrior option or any airplay option at all.
Is this a limitation on my MBP due to age, is it the Apple TV, or am I just missing something do stupidly obvious I will be embarassed?
Thank you for your time.

Which airport is better, 2nd gen express or 2nd gen extreme

I use an older 2nd generation airport extreme on the 2nd floor of my house and needed another to cover another portion of the house and recently bought a 2nd gen airport express to extend it.
My question is, which is better(more powerful) to use as the main wifi hub: the 2nd generation extreme or the 2nd generation express?

The 2nd Gen AirPort Express is a simultaneous dual band product, which will produce both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network. The 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme cannot do this. For what it is worth, the 2nd Gen Express is capable of higher wireless speeds than the 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme as well.
If you use the 2nd Gen Express as the "main" router, you will have the benefit of dual band performance for devices that connect to the AirPort Express in the main area. If you have any 5 GHz capable devices, they will connect at higher speeds than other devices as well because of the dual band capability of the Express.
The 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme is not simultaneous dual band capable, so it will extend only one band from the AirPort Express, likely the 2.4 GHz band since it is the stronger signal.
It probably does not make much sense to use the 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme as the main router, since the Express will only be able to extend one band from the AirPort Extreme, since that is all that it can produce at one time. On the other hand, if you are happy with the AirPort Extreme as the main router, and you are not looking for higher speed capability in the main area, you could continue to use the Extreme as your main router. It does look more impressive.
As far as rated signal strength, you might be surprised to learn that Apple rates the smaller 2nd Gen Express as having just a bit higher signal output power than the 2nd Gen Extreme.
One question though....other than the modem, how many devices do you plan to connect using a wired Ethernet connection to your "main" router?

Accessorie compatability with itouch 3rd gen vs. 2nd gen

I am waiting for my new iPod touch 3rd generation to come in the mail. While I am waiting, I have been looking at different accessories. I am new to the itouchs, and I wanted to know if the things that work for 2nd gen will work for the 3rd gen. This includes cases, chargers, etc.
Also, are there any good speakers/radio/charging dock etc that works with the new 3rd generation itouch?

if you upgrade to 3.0 peer-to-peer gaming only works on the 2G Touch. as for speakers there are very small ones you can just attach under it, dubble click the home button and you get the volume controls without unlocking it, the battery life isn't a huge difference either. The biggest difference is the Bluetooth

Move music from 3rd gen shuffle to 2nd gen

I want to take the music off my 3rd gen shuffle and put it on my 2nd gen shuffle. How can I copy what is on one and put it on the other?

The music should be on your computer in your iTunes Library. Just sync the 2nd Generation to your library.

Please help, 3rd gen works fine, 2nd gen not recognized

My wife & daughter got a 3rd gen ipod for xmas, they are working fine, but my sons 2nd gen ipod is not recognized by the computer or itunes. Nor will it charge, & now to top it off the battery appears to be dead so i cannot reset, restore, or anything. Before xmas it worked fine. Any suggestions for getting it working again.

Have you tried plugging it into a wall charger? If the battery truly is toast, then you need to replace it.

Can you charge 3rd gen shuffle in 2nd gen dock?

Does anyone know if it's possible to charge a 3rd gen shuffle in a 2nd gen dock?

Shucks. I was hoping I could have an extra charger/dock, but I guess not. Thanks!

MSI H77MA-G43 AND INTEL 2ND GEN

Hello,
i have made a budget pc for a friend with the following config:
MSI H77MA-G43
INTEL I5 2400
MSI GTX 550 TI
I have installed all the drivers but i can´t get any audio or ethernet. I've read about this and i come to a conclusion that might be some problems of compatibility between h77 chipsets and 2nd generation intel processors, since h77 chipsets ware made for 3rd gen. processors.
I've already change bios, installed the latest drivers and updates the chipset controller, but nothing. Anyone can help me or do i have to change the board for a P67 chipset???
Thanks in advance,

The board runs fine with an i5-2400 and bios 1.70:
http://www.msi.com/service/download/bios-19052.html
Audio is already working with default Windows driver.
Make sure you've selected your speakers in the Playback Devices menu in Windows. It might use the VGA audio at the moment.
LAN is running fine with the Realtek driver: http://www.msi.com/service/download/driver-2697.html
What ME version is the board running on? You can check that in the Settings->System Status menu.

Need advice - 1st Gen MBP or 2nd Gen MB?

I have been considering crossing over from a PC to an Apple for a long time and have finally made the decision to go for it this year. I do not know a lot about Apple computers so I am hoping to find some solid advice here. I was at CompUSA today and they have a MacBook Pro (MA600LL - 1st generation) on sale for $1299. From what I have researched online this evening it looks like it has the following: 15 inch display, 2.0 GHz CoreDuo processor, 512 MB Ram, 80 GB hard drive, a 4X Superdrive (no DL write capability), and ATI XL1600 w/ 128 MB RAM for video.
The MacBook (MA700LL/A - 2nd generation) that I was looking at is also $1299 and has the following: 13.3 inch display, 2.0 Ghz Core2Duo processor, 1 GB Ram, 80 GB hard drive, a 6X Superdrive (with DL write capability), and 64MB shared video RAM.
I do plan on installing XP on it to play a few of the games that I would like to carry over, but I don't plan on playing a lot of new/intense 3D games on it. I do plan on working with music (writing and recording) and video editing - both in a limited fashion at this time, but possibly more often if I like the software as much as I have been told that I will like it. I will use it for web editing, web browsing, online chatting, photos, e-mail, word processing, and other general things like that on a regular basis.
Could someone please give me some advice as to which model would be a better long term purchase? As I mentioned before I am not very familiar with Apple computers or the OS, however I am very familiar with PC's. Thanks in advance!

You need to answer a few questions:
1. Why a laptop? For the same $ you can get an iMac with better specs
2. Will you be doing anything video intensive? If so, then you won't do well with MB shared video RAM.
3. You will need to boost your RAM on MBP--how much will that add? The 1 GB on the MB should be adequate.
4. What outputs are available and how will you use them?
Personally, I opted for the MBP because I need the bigger screen to work and I wanted the Expresscard/34 slot. If you can live with the smaller screen, don't need a video card and don't need an expresscard/34 slot, then the MB may offer more for the future as it will work better with Leopard when it is released (for $129).
In either case, get Applecare--Don't get any support from the store. In my experience it is much less efficient than applecare.

ITunes remote Speakers button and AppleTV (2nd gen)

Having followed the iTunes Help instruction "Choose which speakers to use" there is still no Speakers button appearing. I'm successfully using my wireless network for ATV2 and can watch movies, internet, and access my iMac Playlist, but am unable to use the ATV to play my iTunes selections from my iMac.

My apologies to Axel7 because you have diagnosed the problem correctly.
Even though I had set Airplay to 'On', somewhere along the way it has reverted to 'Off'. My error.
Straying outside my original question for a moment, ... to a certain extent it is too easy to blame a new product in the early stages when one is going through an unfamiliar process, so I'm reluctant now to assume that iTunes is waking itself up, but it is in fact awakening without my direct intervention. I've tried putting ATV2 to sleep, then restarting my computer to see if ATV2 woke up with a prod from Bonjour, but this does not seem to be the case.
So, either the unexpected wake-up is a feature that I don't know how to control, or there is a bug in the firmware. Most probably the former, but there is an open thread "Discussions > Apple TV (2nd generation) > Home Sharing with Apple TV" with 52 entries from people with problems, so there could be a real glitch to be fixed.
Thanks again Axel7.
