there as been a rumour than "something cooler than" a Macbook Pro or a new iBook was on the way. Maybe Logic compatible ?

Interesting... But this kind of device isn't new. There's a whole range of drawing tablets aimed at graphic artists, and there is (or was) a whole range of touch/gesturing tablets marketed towards people who suffer from CPT and similar mouse/trackball-induced repetitive motion injuries.
I used one of those tablets for a while. It used "gestures" to invoke clicks, double-clicks, mouse movements, zooming, scrolling. Well, after about a week of trying to use that thing my tendonitis got worse! Tapping on a hard surface instead of clicking a button was just too weird (then again, I'm not a trackpad fan); there was no physical connection between the cursor and the tablet like you have with a mouse/trackball. Yech!
As pictured in the animation, what looks like a neat trick of zooming in on a map -- if compared to my experience using one of those touch pads -- is really tweezy and tedious.
I'd be surprised if that kind of virtual mixing surface ever took off in the music world. But hey, I could be wrong. We live in a world where the key count of keyboard controllers is getting lower while the string count on guitars and basses are routinely increasing. Go figure!

how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

Adobe AIR on iPhone OS-based Apple Tablet?

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/187791/quick_draw_publisher_leaks_apple_tabl et_details.html
So if Flash is already on the iPhone OS, can we expect to see our Adobe AIR app running on the modified iPhone OS that will power this new Apple tablet? Our product is in alpha testing right now, and we expect to sign on thousands of users for our new Adobe AIR-based software in 2010. We're deploying on Windows 7 touch-screen tablets such as the ASUS Eee PC T91MT, but if this Apple tablet is a compelling device for our needs, it would be awesome to see our app running on that as well.

As we have announced at MAX 2009 we are working on a solution that will be available in Flash Pro CS5 to convert your AIR applications so they can be run on the iPhone, iPod and iPad.
We have a closed pre-release program in progress and as part of the beta testing several developers have used the Packager for iPhone to develop and post applications to the Apple App Store.
We are looking for developers and designers who have a specific app in mind to be submitted to the Apple App Store within the next two months. If you want to build an app for the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad using Flash, please shoot us a mail at [email protected] Please include in your message the name of the app you'd like to build and whether you think you can have it in the Apple App Store within the next two months.
You can find out more about all this here:

Is there a firmware update for the Apple RAID Card [early 2009 Xserve] that will take it beyond the E-1.3.2.0 version and allow it to see 4TB drives?

Is there a firmware update for the Apple RAID Card [early 2009 Xserve] that will take it beyond the E-1.3.2.0 version and allow it to see 4TB drives?

I have a few of these RAID cards in a couple servers, and then I have an earlier version of the RAID card in a few different servers.
The earlier servers are running non-apple 1.5 TB drives. It will be interesting to learn if this firmware update will indeed allow me to boost the capacity by installing non-apple drives, as the firmware previously has not.
Ohh I'm excited to update and try! This will greatly help out if it does!

HT1386 we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes. On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced. This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID. However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps. This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

Recomended Broadband Speeds for new Apple TV

I was about to purchase an Apple Tv earlier today, but wanted to check the recommended broadband speeds for the service.
We suffer from speeds of 2.5mbps; probably not a problem with Apple TV - being able to download to the HDD for viewing later. However, streaming only is a little concerning - especially as we'd be looking at HD stuff.
Have Apple said what speeds are required? Is contents buffered to some sort of memory until it is ready to be viewed.

The avatar HD film was 5.8gb in size from the itunes store. My internet speed is usually around 9.8mbps but can drop down to 7mbps in busy times. I rent HD films a lot and it usually takes about 20 seconds to 1 minute from pressing rent to being able to play the HD movies. Only once have I had an issue with the film freezing up half way through, it turned out the internet went down on my ISP side of things.
As apposed to having 2.5mbps I am not to sure on times but it would just be a case of waiting longer at the beginning before pressing play, for the film to build up in the buffer so you don't catch up to where the film has got to in downloading. That is if my understanding of the apple tv downloads and plays at same time is right! If I am wrong I would be very interested in knowing exactly how it works.
But to answer the question at the beginning I have not seen an official minimum download speed for the apple tv but looks like from other peoples experiences you can't go wrong with something bigger than 6/7mbps.

Get a minimum $50 GC for any working tablet DENIED!

The staffs here are very rude:
BROOKLYN NY (Store 599)
8923 Bay Pkwy
Brooklyn, NY 11214
I showed them the print out of the advertised ad on BestBuy "Get a minimum $50 GC for ANY working tablet". My tablet is working and comply with the terms; just not listed on the trade-in database. They would not honor this, stating it is not listed on their system. I told them the ad states "Any" and not "Qualifying". However, they were rude and refuse to honor this. I called BestBuy corporate, however they were closed on Friday night. Case # (removed per forum guidelines)

Hello coskevin,
With so many trade-in promotions running, I am glad you found one that has caught your interest and you would like to participate in! It is regrettable to find that the Brooklyn, NY store may not be knowledgeable of how to process these trade-ins.
Should your device qualify for this promotion per the offer details, we should be able to fulfill the trade-in even if it is not in the trade-in system. I apologize if this is not what occurred when you visited the store and contacted our phone support.
That being said, I would be happy to look into this further with you. Would you care to share the type of tablet you were attempting to trade in?
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Can i design for all android tablets using one size folio?

I want to minimize my production workflow. Of course. Will a one size design folio work for all android tablets including kendal fire?
thanks

Yes, you can use one folio size for all Android devices. A 16x9 aspect ratio usually works nicely if you are only interested in Android devices and don't already have an iPad design.
Note that we do not support in-app purchase on Kindle devices.

Apple developer notes on video format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

I have been doing a bit of searching on information for converting video for the Apple TV and came across this web-page which contains technical information of converting video for the iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.
If you are after information on bitrates, b-frames, levels, profiles, low-complexity, etc. then this may help:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html
What is interesting to note, whilst 5Mbps is the maximum bitrate, the Apple TV supports spikes up to 12Mbps.
Happy reading and please feel free to add more links to useful information on the video format for the Apple TV.

I have downloaded the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Trailer #2 .mov file and this streams quite happily on the Apple TV. This has a total bitrate of 6505Kbps and an audio bitrate of 192Kbps @ 48KHz and video 23.98fps @ 1280x544.
So, according to the Apple TV spec., the audio is well above 160Kbps and the video bitrate is well above 5Mbps. So why does it play at all on the Apple TV let alone stream without stuttering? Maybe its because the video height is 544 rather than the full 720, but why does the Apple TV get to see it?
I don't know the answers, just offering this as an example of a video that is freely available for anyone to try out which clearly exceeds some of the maximum specs for the Apple TV.
Has anyone found or got anything that beats this?

I am trying to change or add the email address which is attached to my itunes account. I keep getting a notice saying email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Im sure its one of my devices. How can I get my current email address added?

My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
thanks for any assistance.

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

HT204053 Dear Support Team, every time i tried to logon Icloud its gives me wrong user name or password and at the end it show me error " This Apple ID is valid but is not an ICloud Account" then how can i use one account for same Apple ID and ICloud???

Dear Support Team,

Thanks

It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones?

Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones? I received an answer of yes.
Now another question. I have one ICloud Account, Two IPhones. Can I use Find my IPhone via the one ICloud Account? Can I see two IPhones on the map at the same time? or do I need to view the second phone via some other method.

Yes.
Cheers,

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

Hi there
How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
Is there any way of resolving this? I
Thanks
Kelvin

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Providing you aren't trying to change you Apple iCloud email address you can make changes at My Apple ID
