Passbook: Works REALLY WELL

iOS 6 Passbook App. Really works well and is pretty **** cool! I have only one account I can use with it at this time, my Walgreens Balance Rewards card. Got the card loaded into Passbook on my iPhone. Had to download the Walgreens app first, scan my plastic card, then add it to Passbook. Also chose my preferred store, which is the one two blocks away from me. After it was added to Passbook, I was able to delete the Walgreens app from my phone. Walked over to Walgreens and was thinking "is this gonna work"? Yeah, it worked. Really well. It's so accurate that it waited until I actually entered through the doors of the store and was about two or three feet into the store and then my phone suddenly lit up telling me my Rewards card was available for use in the store. I picked up an item off the self and went to the cashier to pay, slid to view my card in Passbook on my iPhone and the cashier scanned my rewards card off of my phone. Paid and out I went. So, no need to carry that plastic card in my wallet any more. Cashier said I was the first person to use the new Passbook app with their card in that store.

Well it works great with Walgrens, but Fandango where it would be useful does nothing despite the touted linkage.
Why can't any instructions and background be issed with new apps like this. It becomes a tease and hence annoying.

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

My iMac wouldn't turn on. This has happened out of nowhere, it was working really well before. checked my power cord and outlets everything's fine. The iMac has no power at all. no sound or anything, completely dead. It is only 1 year and 2 mos old.

I have purposely been ignoring your responses to my posts about the heat issues in the newer design iMacs, but if you want really want to ague the point...
First, the iMac is marketed as a desktop model Mac. Not a laptop or MacBook.
I have never owned a MacBook, so I can't attest to how much heat the MacBooks generate.
I Have two iMac models. A 2009, 27 inch screen iMac for myself. And a 2010, 21.5 inch screen iMac for my Fiancée.
As a desktop Mac these are hottest running desktop Macs I have ever owned. Period. I owned two beige Macs, a pre-G3 tower, aG3 desktop, a G4 MDD Tower, the original iMac, eMac, iMac G4 and now my current iMacs.
None of my previous Macs have ever, EVER ran this hot. I have never, also, had any component failures in any of the previous Macs I have owned, either. All of my Macs have been upgraded or modded to some degree over the years. About 2 years ago I had to press my old G3 back into service. Both my G3 and G4 models have been heavily modded. The G3 ran without issue for a close friend for over a year until that friend went out a got a Mac Mini.
That's a 1996-97 Mac my friend. And it still is in working order and hasn't had any failures.
The fact I am pointing out here is that heat is an enemy to electronic components.
Whether desktop iMac or MacBooks, tightly packed enclosures of heat generating computer components with fans that do not run fast enough at most times to cool off the interior or exterior, will and does slow roast computer components to premature failure.
I do not know how frequent component failure is in the MacBook line up. So I can't attest to those.
I do not participate in those forums.
This is why at some point in computer history, Super Conputers were liquid cooled. PowerMac G5 systems were liquid cooled because they ran too hot!
I have taken my own precautions to keep my iMacs' heat down as much as possible.
I don't have the money to keep buying a new Mac every 3-5 years when some catastrophic failure happens.
I had to purchase my iMacs used as I couldn't afford the cost of a new iMac with the specs I needed.
My idea, your idea and Apple's idea of acceptable operating temps we can argue all day long.
I feel, personally, that the operating temps are too high and exacerbate operational issues.
I Have been participating in these particular iMac forums for just over a year and have seen plenty of posts of iMac component failures due to both heat and dust, dirt issues from within the iMac.
There can be no other reason for all of these failures. The SuperDrive is, usually, the first to go bad.
It's probably due more to its vertical mounting, but the excessive interior heat isn't helping it.
Next to fail is the GPU. The last to fail, but the most expensive to fix, the Logic Board.
I Have seen plenty of posts in my last year here of all of these failures in iMac less than 5 years old and ,perhaps, a little older. 2008 model iMacs seem to have their issues, too!
Apple is focusing too much on design and aesthetics, rather than longevity of their products, I feel now.
A Mac isn't going to last 7- 10 years anymore.
I don't have stats and numbers. Just common sense.
This is my story and I am sticking to it. For what it's worth.

Lightroom works really well with GPS data

I have just tested one of the really compact clip-on GPS units that Reuben Wilcock makes for the D200 on my new Fuji S5 and it works a treat. This means that GPS location data is automatically written into the EXIF everytime you shoot a photo. The GPS unit is here
http://customidea.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=38&products_id=121
Once it was attached to the camera I shot a couple of photos in my backyeard and opened them in Lightroom and there in the EXIF data was the Longtitude and Latitude (plus altitude above sea level). I was really pleased to discover that in Lightroom you can click this data to jump to its locations in Google Maps - nice feature!

Yep, I picked up a di-GPS mini
for my D200 and am glad for that link in LR. As some of the blog comments note, being able to configure the GPS target app in future LR versions would be nice. Being able to highlight multiple images and have some link to see them all represented together on a map would also be nice. Basically, it would be nice if LR had a UI for GPS as nice as the photo sharing sites.

My Safari suddenly stopped loading Facebook, Google and YouTube. Why? I downloaded Firefox and it's working really well! What's going on?

Over the past two or three weeks, my Safari has bogged down. It will load most Web pages just fine, but YouTube, Google and Facebook just won't launch. I managed to use it to download Firefox and it's working great. Safari is still a no-go.

Hi Jake ...
Those three sites require the Flash plugin.
Quit Safari.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try one of those sites.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
If uninstalling and reinstalling Flash didn't help, it could be a cookies issue.
Back to the Safari menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click Show Cookies. Then click Remove All > Done
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?

Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?
Can such a document be exempted from the cloud feature, a feature that I use for the rest of my stuff?
If so, how can I do this?

Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

Does Passbook work?

I'm confused about how Passbook works. When I open that "app" it just asks me to go the App Store, and it shows me a list of apps that supposedly works with Passbook. Except they don't. I bought a movie ticket from Fandango today but it didn't show up in Passbook. Instead, it asked me to go up to the ticket counter and show them my confirmation number. But skipping the line was exactly why I bought my ticket in the first place. I expected my movie ticket to show up in Passbook so that I can just walk into the theater after they scan a barcode or QR code.
Am I misunderstanding how Passbook works or is this app really a non-app and not ready for primetime?

No, I mean, I expected Passbook to look like this: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/#passbook. This is Apple's website. Instead, Passbook looks nothing like this, and I just want to know if this is just a "fantasy" version that doesn't really work in real life yet, or if there was some button I didn't click.

Jabra JX-10 Works Very Well

Jabra JX-10 works very well. Even the callback feature works. I am still really bummed that there is no voice command for the iPhone however. This is a real drag and dangerous while driving. I used this feature on my old phone all the time. Press the button on the headset and say "call whomever" and you were off to the races. No searching through the phone book. Using the favorites feature makes it a little better, but it is not a substitute.

Followup, I have installed the 1 GIG RAM module in the little beauty. Wow, what a difference. No swapping, all the applications respond reasonably well. I am running the iStat Menus which I have set up to watch the CPU and MEMORY usage. So I know when something is taxing the computer. It's mostly when trying to watch video.
But otherwise Safari and Evernote run great, with plenty of RAM, it responds as well or better than Panther or Tiger did in 640 MB. I suppose Tiger could have used the extra RAM better also.
Since I love the keyboard on this little guy, and it's the smallest Mac notebook, it carries well in the backpack. Since Safari 4 runs on PowerPC still, it is pretty fast rendering web pages.
A trick I used to reduce the resources it consumes, was to disable the Dashboard features, since I didn't use them much anyway. I think I found that here in Apple discussions.
So the little PowerBook G4 12-inch is my main Coffee shop nomad netbook. I think I can get another couple years out of it.

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times. I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
Thanks

So lately I decided I was tired of Tiger, and decided I would upgrade to Leopard. Well I made the mistake of erasing the hard drive before I made sure it would work. Well now like the installer was before it failed. And now when I boot it just won't work

So lately I decided I was tired of Tiger, and decided I would upgrade to Leopard. Well I made the mistake of erasing the hard drive before I made sure it would work. Well now like the installer was before it failed. And now when I boot I get the normal finder/question mark flashing folder. I also found a power Mac g4 that needs a new operating system. It's running 9.2. It's going to my grandma as a gift. I really need help.

I think you'll need to find a Retail 10.5 Disc.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

The left part of the screen doesn't work very well

The left part of the screen doesn't work very well. It's hard to erase a letter, and impossible to me to insert the "P".
Does it means that I need to replace the screen? Or there is a other solution?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you've gone through ALL the troubleshooting steps and you're still having the problem, then you most likely have a hardware issue and will need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.
