Need a fix for OSX 10.4 and iPad

The reason I bought a Mac 5 years ago was the reputation and reliability of the product. Shame on me for buying a machine that just wont break! There is no reason to replace my iMac, enter the new Apple iPad that I received for college graduation. I have 15k pics and 6k songs on my iMac, not to mention a couple hundred movies. I now have an iPad that can hold none of them because I have OSX 10.4.11. Apples solution, upgrade to Snow Leopard, oh wait...mines not Intel. Well upgrade to Leopard, but we don't sell it anymore so you'll have to go to ebay or amazon and find it used! Now we're looking at an additional $200 for an out-of-date OS upgrade just to make it compatible with my new and innovative iPad. Way to go Apple, you really dropped the ball on this one.

Jerry, if you must know. I'm a full-time working adult with a wife and two kids. If "Fortunate enough" falls along the lines of taking 11 years to graduate (b/c I paid as I could afford it) and having my wife "give" me an iPad, which essentially IS my income, then yes...I am fortunate enough in Jerry's eyes.
I am not part of the "I'm entitled" generation. I'm just somewhat frustrated that Apple has produced a great piece of technology but did not go the extra step in making it compatible with 10.4.11.
Come on guys, why all the personal attacks? Is this really the purpose of these boards. Anyone heard any rumors that there may be an update that will allow back compatibility. Anyone have any simpler solutions for a fix?
Has it really come down to a bunch of spoiled rotten people that can only throw out insults instead of offering any help? Or just skipping the thread they have SOOO much hate for and moving on? Really?

  • A fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players

    Fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players.
    I've written a simple freeware utility for fixing mp3 tag discrepancies. It is intended for use before uploading a bunch of albums to a tag-only media player. There's like a million of such programs out there, but this one is based on my exprience with the Creative Zen player, so it could be useful for fellow owners of the device.
    First, the utility scans mp3 album folder tree looking for tag inconsistencies and suggesting corrections. After that you can review (and cancel/modify if needed) the corrections and apply the changes.
    The detected tag errors can be corrected either manually or semi-automatically with the integrated Discogs search. There's a tuneable compilation processing feature, which helps keep compilation albums in one piece on your player.
    You can check the utility out here http://taghycardia.narod.ru/english.html
    Feature suggestions, bug reports welcomed.

    The free program has been vastly updated since the last post.
    Now, it can find and embed cover art for mp3 albums automatically, or it can do the opposite, remove cover images from mp3 files if you need to save space on your player or mobile device. In addition, there is an ability to correct wrong track order automatically and get exact tracklists from Discogs.
    The URL is updated, too: http://taghycardia.info

    Hi, does your MacBook have Firewire, or just USB?
    FW is far faster if you have that.
    Avoid Bus powered ones.

    Why I need a code for rent a film and where ist the code? (I dont have a card)

    it's unclear what you mean
    you say you dont have a card which I guess is you don't have a creditcard
    in which case the other option is to pay by a giftcard which include a code which you put in
    because to rent you have to pay otherwise it's not really renting

  • I have one apple ID for my MAC and another used for both my iPhone and IPad.  Purchases from iTunes don't appear on either my iPhone or iPad only only the MAC. How do I sync the two IDs?

    I have one Apple ID for my MAC and iTunes account and another that is used for both my iTunes and iPad.  When I purchased music from iTunes using the Mac ID, the music isn't available on my iTunes or iPad.  Neither lets me change my ID so how do I fix this issue so I can play the music on all three?

    Hello chlanli
    You would need to use one Apple ID for purchases in order to get them across all of your devices and computer. If you want you can use one Apple ID for purchases and the other one to sync personal data. The article below will explain further.

  • How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account.  To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

  • How do I use the same Itunes for both my IPOD and IPAD?

    How do i use itunes for both my ipod and ipad? and have everything on both of them.

    You can connect one of them to your computer's iTunes, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then on the right-hand side select the Music tab and choose what to sync to that device - you can then connect, select and sync the same content to your other device.

    I did set up the password when I got the phone and iPad months ago but never turned it on. Now it is asking for the passwords for both my iPhones and iPad and I cannot select not the have the passwords active.

    If you do not want to use passcodes, why don't you just go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and delete the passcode and set the lock to OFF.  That will eliminate the problems all together.

    Please help! Two days ago I received a message stating that a new update was available for my new 5s and IPad Air. I attempted to do the update and wasn't allowed to. Since then I am not able to access the internet on either device. It has been 2 days. These are very expensive paper weights that are only 2 weeks old!

    Thank you for your response. Like you it doesn't make sense to me either, however I finally got a response back from  AT&T. There are two towers down in my rural area and they should be backup tomorrow between 2-3pm. The update 'mess' is just a coincidence? We'll see,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
