New vs. old?

As I understand it, the new Apple TV, $99, does not have a hard drive but there is another version that has the 160GB hd.
Do they basically function exactly the same, less the hd? If not, how are they different?
I read something indicating that the one with the 160gb hd will pull 160gb worth of content from your Itunes and fill itself. Is that true? Can't I just leave the 160gb free to buy movies and such from Itunes?
Can I control or be selective of what goes into the 160gb hd, kind of like syncing an Ipad or Ipod with Itunes?
I will be getting an Apple TV but want to try and figure out if I should get the one with the hard drive or not.
Thanks for the help!

But I am wondering if this would work...purchase a Mac Mini to store purchased movies and watch them on my HDTV.
Yes. I replaced my ATV1 with a Mac mini and it resolved all of my ATV frustrations.
Would I even need an Apple TV in that instance?
No.
It seems that a Mac Mini and an HDTV would be all I need to rent or buy movies (thru iTunes) and watch them on my HDTV.
Yes, you can rent or buy from iTunes on the Mini as well as store your entire library on it or any external drives connected to it. You can also watch web video, including Hulu and Netflix, directly in Safari.
The only annoyance comes from the irrational selection of video types in the iTunes store. Some titles are only available in HD on an iPad or an ATV, despite the Mac mini's superior hardware and performance relative to those devices.
Is Apple TV just an option if you don't want to purchase a Mac Mini?
I'm not sure how relevant it is to compare them directly. The ATV is a dedicated media player designed primarily for use with iTunes files, although it also has an embedded Netflix player. The Mac mini is an actual computer with an HDMI port that can do 1080p video output with surround sound. The price difference between the two is substantial, so the ATV makes for an economical, albeit limited player. The Mac mini has none of the limitations or performance issues of an ATV, but the extra power and versatility come at a price.

  • Finder not recognizing images properly (maybe overwriting new w/old)

    I am experiencing an odd and troubling issue with my 15" MacBook Pro (running Mavericks). This occurred on Saturday and I thought I was crazy, but now it has occurred a 2nd time (sort of) and I'm alarmed that this is indicative of some major issues with my machine.
    I'm working on a design project where I'm asked to create images for a mobile web page based on an old set of images. The new images need to be the exact same size, dimensions and filename as the old images so that the developer can swap them in easily.
    For that reason, I've downloaded the old set of images to my desktop, created new images and am overwriting the old images. (I am saving Photoshop files for my new images in a Dropbox folder --- it is just the final exported files that I am writing to the folder saved on the desktop.)
    So here I am, 99% finished and I go to look at the images in my finder. When I do, I see that the images displaying are the old, overwritten images instead of the new ones. There is no chance that I'm just not opening the correct folder or anything like that.
    At first, I thought the files themselves were being overwritten by their old versions, but it appears that maybe it is just the finder thumbnail image that isn't displaying correctly. When I actually open the file using Preview, it opens the correct image (new, not old). You can see an example in the screenshot attached. The old image (thumbnail) is the moneyroll. The new image is the man and the woman.
    At least the file itself appears to be correct, though I have no idea what happens if I zip these up and email them to another user on another computer. Still, I'm concerned that this suggests there is something really wrong with my machine.
    By the way, the incident I referenced on Saturday was much more troubling. It was an issue where I worked on a Dreamweaver file for 2+ hours, saving constantly before closing it. The next time I opened it later that day, it opened the old version. I thought maybe it was due to me changing the name of a folder or something and wrote it off as human error. But given what is taking place today, I'm not 100% sure that is the case now.
    Has anyone encountered this? Any insight would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yup. Thomas, have you tried replicating this in the other direction? In Terminal you can make a folder, chown it to root, get the permissions to the same as those of /Applications/Utilities,  then as a normal user, try dragging something
    into that folder? I have - this is replicable.
    This is a real bug - worked ok until 10.7.2, then broke.
    I have worked around this bug by changing the permissions on my Applications and Applications/Utilities folders so that my account has write permission there without authentication. But that not ideal from a security standpoint.
    If any developer out there could fire a Radar report off on this, I'd be much obliged.

    Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

    Hi Bernard ,
    If it is an Acrobat subscription you could easily register the same product on your new PC with your credentials ,i.e Adobe id and password.
    If it is a perpetual one ,then you may face some challenges ,to get rid of that you would have to get in touch with the Adobe Technical Team.Here is the link for the same.

  • I have a Vin, iMac 20 inch early 2008 . Can anyone tell me the now equivalent of this model? We had a housefire and I need to replace it new for old. I have a serial no. but cant find out which one would be the same model to replace it now.

    I am trying to find out how to find the specs because the machine is my daughters and it is no longer useable but if I know where I can find its details from the serial no I can get it replaced new for old on the house insurance. Where can I find these details?

    I lost equipment due to lightening strike several years ago, which also had old equipment and was not available. I gave insurance images and provided original receipts (my purchases were made on Apple.com), and Apple provided electronic copies of the receipts. You may want to contact Apple and check, if they can provide a copy. Insurance may depreciate the original value. I was offered residual value which i used to buy newer replacements, and provided the receipts for replacements back to insurance.

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Trigger how to get new and old value for nested table column?

    Hi,
    I have created a nested table based on the following details:
    CREATE TYPE typ_item AS OBJECT --create object
    (prodid NUMBER(5),
    price NUMBER(7,2) )
    CREATE TYPE typ_item_nst -- define nested table type
    AS TABLE OF typ_item
    CREATE TABLE pOrder ( -- create database table
    ordid NUMBER(5),

    INSERT INTO pOrder
    VALUES (800, 80, 8000, sysdate,
    typ_item_nst (typ_item (88, 888)));
    Now I would like to create a trigger on table pOrder for after insert or update or delete
    and I would like to track the new and old value for the columns inside nested table.
    Can anybody direct me how to do it?
    I would like to know the sytax for it like:
    declare
    x number;
    begin
    x := :new.nestedtablecolumn;--how to get the new and old value from nested table columns
    end;
    Hope my question is clear.

  • Dynamic build of a table trigger - Issue building :new and :old vars

    (which leads me to my next issue - this one might be a deal killer for me; see "Are Optional Parameters possible in Procedural Units?"
    I'm using a Select statement to dynamically create a table trigger which looks like the following:
    create or replace trigger tr_audit#reporter
    after update on reporter
    for each row
    begin
    ttms_audit_pkg.insert_audit_info( 'reporter', 'ZIP', :new.ZIP, :old.ZIP, 'REPORTER.REPORTER,REPORTER.PROJECT_CD', 'EXFC', :new.reporter, :new.project_cd);
    end;
    The :new. and :old. variables are generated based on which table_name is passed to the script creating this trigger. My problem is that I need all the :new. and :old. parameters to be passed in as Char. regardless of whether they are Number or Date variables.
    So in the example above...if :new.reporter is a number on the table then I need to to_char is like this:
    create or replace trigger tr_audit#reporter
    after update on reporter
    for each row
    begin
    ttms_audit_pkg.insert_audit_info( 'reporter', 'ZIP', :new.ZIP, :old.ZIP,
    'REPORTER.REPORTER,REPORTER.PROJECT_CD', 'EXFC', to_char(:new.reporter), :new.project_cd);
    end;
    However, since this trigger is created dynamically I will not know in advance which :new. and :old. parameters will need to be converted to character. So if to_char(:new.reporter) is used and :new.reporter is already a character on the table then I will get an error.
    So my question then is this. Is there a way to write this dynamic sql in a way to accomidate this problem? I'm thinking something that would act a bit like a decode does with values...pehaps something like this:
    decode(:new.reporter, NUMBER, to_char(:new.reporter), DATE, to_char(:new.reporter,'DD-MON-YYYY HH12:MIPM'), :new.reporter)
    ...if :new.reporter is a number then to_char it; if :new.reporter is a date then to_char it; otherwise let it be.
    By any chance does anyone know if this is possible? I would greatly appreciate any insights.

    Sure, you can selectively version-enable tables using Workspace Manager (you call DBMS_WM.EnableVersioning on each table you want Workspace Manager to track history for).
    What do you mean by "programmatically rollback changes"? Workspace Manager has the ability to call GotoTime and queries against a version-enabled table will return results as if you were querying it at that specific point in time (unless you've purged history of course). You can also use it to create what are essentially long-running transactions where you can work on multiple sets of proposed data changes simultaneously for days or months before finally deciding to commit a one particular set. It's incredibly powerful.

  • ABAP needed: New Value/Old Value in Update Rules

    Hi all
    I'm updating some attributes in IObj by ABAP routine. Is it possible to get not only new value of attribute but the old one to compare them?
    Is it possible to get others attribute old and new values?
    I'll illustrate it with example.
    Say, IObj has 3 attributes:
    0ACC_GRP
    0DT_FROM
    0DT_TO
    if NEW value of 0ACC_GRP <> OLD value of 0ACC_GRP then
    new 0DT_FROM = SYSDAT
    new 0DT_TO = old 0DT_FROM
    else
    new 0DT_FROM = old 0DT_FROM
    new 0DT_TO = old 0DT_TO

    My case quite simple I guess.
    I got 0CUSTOMER infoobject and appended it with several time-dep attributes. After it my Update rules were deactvated.  I got error message with prompt to fill out FROM_DATE, TO_DATE as key fields in every attribute (time-dependable and none time-dependable) while was trying re-activate Update Rules.
    So, what's wrong with that? What I supposed to do with all those to/from date key fields  in my Update Rules??
