New to Apple have some questions.

Im looking into getting a portable music device with a large capacity. So far the Ipod Classic is the best as far as price goes but i had a few more questions about its performance and such.
First and for most Ive heard lots of people complain their Ipod broke down once they got it home or shortly there after, or they had any of a long list of troubles with the software. are these common issues or just the few speaking for the many?
Also my friends and i swap music a lot so right now my collection is only at 10 gigs but im expecting it to grow quite rapidly, can i load all of the stuff i already have into Itunes or will i have to buy new songs from Itunes? ive never had that bit explained fully too me before. How does the Apple brand hold up to some of the other makers of large capacity mp3 players such as Zune and Creative Zen? And lastly are there any other issues i should be aware of as a newcomer to ipods? Thanks to all that can help answer my questions and give me a bit of advice.

are these common issues or just the few speaking for the many?
There are tens of millions of iPod owners. These are just a few vocal users who've been unlucky enough to receive a faulty device. Same goes for any electronic device - out of tens of millions of devices made, there's always a tiny chance one may have manufacturing defects - but the chances of getting one are miniscule.
I've upgraded through 4 various iPod models over the years, and never had a problem with any of them. My old iPods are still in use by the people who I passed them onto. I've also bought a few iPods as gifts, and they're still going strong too.
Also my friends and i swap music a lot
Well, that's illegal as you don't own the copyright to the music to share it, so you probably shouldn't broadcast that fact!
can i load all of the stuff i already have into Itunes
Yes.
How does the Apple brand hold up to some of the other makers of large capacity mp3 players such as Zune and Creative Zen?
Well, I think the popularity of the iPod should speak for itself. If it wasn't a good product it would not have become so successful. iPods consistently get very high review scores.
As you've only got 10gb of music at the moment, why not get a 32 or 64gb iPod touch? There'll be plenty of space for your music library to grow into, plus you get the best touchscreen mobile internet, email, wi-fi device on the planet. Everyone raves about the iPod touch - just Google for some reviews.

    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

    I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
    These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
    A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
    The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
    Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
    It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
    My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
    I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
    QUESTION 1:
    I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
    If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
    Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
    I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
    QUESTION 2:
    I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
    Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
    Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
    QUESTION 3:
    Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
    Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
    QUESTION 4:
    Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
    QUESTION 5:
    If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
    Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

    Well said.
    Steps to set up RAID
    Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
    1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
    2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
    3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
    4. Name the RAID set.
    5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
    6. Click Create.
    Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
    1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
    2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
    3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
    4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
    5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
    6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
    7. Click Rebuild.

    Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
    Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
    What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
    A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
    /Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
    Media files as needed.
    Things that hurt performance:
    Page outs
    Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
    SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

    Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

  • Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
    From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do.  You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
    Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time.  The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze.   This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders.  (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.)  The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

  • I'm going to install Arch this weekend but I have some questions

    Currently I use Linux Mint on my primary PC, but I've installed Arch on my older PC at my parents house.  I like it a lot and I think I want a distro that is rolling release and also that I build myself (as opposed to installing all of the bloat on Mint).  However, I do have some questions; Linux is pretty new to me (been using it since about November) so I don't know exactly how everything works.
    1)  How do I know what packages I have to have installed for building C/C++ programs?  I know in Ubuntu install gcc/g++ by itself doesn't get the job done, you need build-essential to get all of the libraries.  Also, what packages do I need for OpenGL and SDL?  I'm a CS major and I'm in an OpenGL class so I need to be able to compile OpenGL programs; SDL is for my own purposes, but I'd still like to have it.
    2)  I use Amarok to transfer songs to my iPod.  Amarok 1.48 and libgpod 0.6.0 are in the repos and I know both of those are compatible with my 6th gen.  However, I do have a question about transferring album art.  On Mint, Amarok transfers the album art as I transfer the album, but someone told me that Amarok doesn't do that by default; there must have been a setting changed somewhere to do that.  I looked through Amarok's options and didn't see anything like that... anyone know if I can do that in Arch, and how?  There's no real information about Amarok in the wiki.
    3)  I'm going to use Gnome environment but some KDE apps (like Amarok).  Will there be any problems with that that I should know about in advance?
    I'll probably have some more questions once I actually install Arch, but that will do for now   Those are the important ones.

    1) You know by seeing its dependencies on pacman or by the developer documentation. Unlike other distros, you don't need to install dev packages. Example: You have gcc and all the basic gnu tools installed, and you want to compile a program that is not in a arch linux package yet (if theres a package, you can build it using abs / makepkg and pacman will handle the dependencies) and requires, for example, a library called "xyz", you only need to download "xyz" from pacman, and all the dev stuff will come together (like header and etc).
    I hope it helps.

  • Picked up a B/W.. have some questions

    Hey guys. I picked up a B/W yesterday for a nice spare computer and i have some questions.
    1. The former owner upgraded to 10.3 but the computer is lacking serious speed. I know it's not going to be fast but i have a feeling the Memory and video card is holding it back. It only has 256 megs of ram and i would like to add some more. What the max amount i can add? I heard 1GB but is it possible to do more? THe video card is the original and seriously *****. Whats a great card everyone runs? I was looking at the new HD series on new egg but i think it's designed for a pc. Will it work?
    Also.. What's the best place to buy pieces for this mac? Any good online retailers? Thanks again
    Ron

    Before you even think about investing in this computer you might want to check if it is a Rev. 1 or Rev. 2 model. I can't tell you how because I have never laid hands on a BW but apparently the Rev. 1 starts behaving really erratically when you try to upgrade things like the hard drive, and you may quickly tire of a tiny hard drive.
    As for parts, there's the old standby www.mac-sales.com but once you start buying new upgrades for that computer you will quickly outstrip just buying a used G4 instead. LowEndMac Google groups is a good place for aged machines, and of course there's e-bay. There's also a variety of used Mac and parts retailers, though I think a BW is even outside their interest range now since nobody wants to pay for parts for a G3 what they have to charge to stay in business.

  • IMac or MacBook? Have some questions

    iMac or MacBook? Have some questions. If I get a MacBook can I plug an existing monitor I have in via a USB? I could then just add a wireless keyboard as we were originally looking for a desktop but the portability of a MacBook is appealing

    You can only connect a monitor through the video port of your Mac. It can be Mini-DVI, VGA, Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, depending on the MacBook model you get. For example, if you get a 2011 or newer MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, you will get it with Thunderbolt, and if you get the most recent white MacBook, you will get it with Mini DisplayPort.
    Then, look at the ports of the monitor and get a Mini DisplayPort adapter (it is compatible with Thunderbolt) and the cable to connect the adapter to the monitor, so you can use it with the MacBook.
    If you need performance, the iMac would be the best option, and if you prefer a portable computer without having special performance needs, go for the MacBook

  • Might buy an Apple TV - some questions.

    I'm seriously considering the purchase of an Apple TV. The primary reason is that I want to digitize all of my DVDs and free up all the space they take up on my shelves. I also would like to be able to rent movies from iTunes directly from the television.
    I have some questions since the Apple Store reps have been less than helpful:
    1. I want the largest drive size I can get, which seems to be the 100GB. However, I have more than that in movies to rip. Can I attach a 1TB hard drive to the USB port on the back of the Apple TV for additional space, or will I need to store my ripped movies on the 1TB from a computer, and resync whatever 100GB worth I want at any given time on my Apple TV?
    2. Can the Apple TV stream a video from a wirelessly connected computer, or only from it's own internal hard drive?
    3. What video file formats can Apple TV work with? Is it QuickTime only, or can it also work with AVI, WMV, etc.?
    4. Assuming the answer to #2 above is that it can only from it's own hard drive, and that Apple TV "syncs" the way an iPhone or iPod does in that it copies a media file to the device, I'm wondering about multiple libraries at this point. I have an older, pre-Intel iMac at home, and my primary computer is a MacBook Pro. It goes with me EVERYWHERE. Since it's a laptop, drive space is much more limited, and I'm not willing to carry a portable 1TB drive with me everywhere I go. Can iTunes and Apple TV sync music and photos stored in the laptop's iTunes library, but pull videos from the iMac's iTunes library? Or, am I out of luck on this one?
    5. Any rumors as to when a larger-capacity Apple TV will come out? I will be woefully p*ssed off if I buy one only to have a 1/2 or 1TB Apple TV come out a few months later.
    Cheers,
    Dan

  • My brand new ipad 2 have some uncomfortable delay on its photos apps

    My brand new ipad 2 have some uncomfortable delay on its photos apps when i try to slide to next photo, it shows me a confident jerky and choppy. and it never happend on my ipad 1. it seems to happen lots of ipad 2 users.
    and there still exists those problems on firmware 4.3.2
    I couldn't believe that my brand new ( even set A5 dual core and 512 rams!) ipad 2 made this kind of delay.

    Have you tried logging out of your account via Settings > Store and logging back in and seeing if that makes any difference ? You could also try a reset and see if they download after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If an app is over 20 meg in size then you won't be able to download it over 3G, you will need to either use wifi on your iPad or download it to your computer's iTunes and then sync it across.

  • I have some question on "Use LabVIEW to Control two DSP and RTDX"

    I have some question when writing LabVIEW. I have DSP6711 and DSP6416, I use RTDX to send data to LabVIEW.
    I write three programes for LabVIEW, one is RTDX for DSP6711, another is RTDX for DSP6416, and the final is RTDX for two DSPs.
    The program of LabVIEW is workable when doing DSP6711 or doing DSP6416. But there is some problem when running DSP6711 and DSP6416 on LabVIEW at the same time.
    How to tell the LabVIEW's tool of " RTDX read" to  get the datas from different DSP

    What you want to do should be fairly straightward and a good way to learn labview. 
    First off, if you haven't already, I would download the drivers for the Keithley and Agilent instruments.  I found the keithley drivers at the link below.  You will need to find the labview drivers for the Agilent PS at their website.  Drivers are the VI's you will use in your program to control the insturments.
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E90B0659CE034080020E74861
    If you open Labview and go to the help menu and click on Labview bookshelf there is alot of information on getting you started coding labview.   This should get you started, if you have anymore questions just ask in this same thread and I am sure you will get all the help you need.

  • Clean installing Lion- have some questions.

    I'm gonna clean install Lion on my macbook pro and have some questions regarding the same...
    should I update to 10.7.2 and then clean install or will i have to update again anyway after a clean install?
    is it true that downloading mac app store apps again from the app's page reincurrs the charges?
    any best/worst practices i should consider while reinstalling Lion? I'm gonna perform a clean install.
    most important... how do i initiate a clean install?!
    Thanks for your time, in advance.
    Neerav

    Thank you, that definitely suggests that it isn't actually doing anything useful!
    I switched it off, cleared the PRAM and re-formatted the drive unencrypted (I found the option, it was in the dropdown for filesystem).
    That appears to have been the issue, as the download and install immediately identified the disc name, which it wasn't doing before. Guess it was having an issue with my encrypted drive. I guess it's handy I'm not a secret agent or an political dissident I shall run unencrypted...
