Should i buy an apple TV now?

Is this a good time to buy an apple TV? I know macrumors recommends waiting but it could be a long time before a new one comes out. What do you think?

No one here has any idea if AppleTV will be refreshed soon or ever.
The rumours you may see more likley than not relate to whether or not Apple will produce an actual TV with AppleTV functionality built-in - no one knows except Apple.
Personally I'd say go for it provided you know what the product does and offers and that suits your needs now.
It does 1080p video quite happily from iTunes Store - 4K TV is the only real step up video wise soon and that is only just on the horizon and may be quite limited content wise for a long time and for most 1080p quality will currently suffice.
Unless you want 3D movies, and most people probably don't, AppleTV already provides pretty good 1080p video capability if not quite up to BluRay standards due to lower bitrates, but the convenience of not using physical media and forced to watch through adverts and trailers is huge.

Should i buy ipod touch 5g now or wait?

Should i buy ipod touch 5g now or wait? I read in here, many people said this model has many problems, frozen screens, titles songs are not line up in order, imessage can't send, etc.. what do you think?
I can afford for the 32g, the first one i had was nano and i dont' want to waste and upset if it's not good as it should be. Or i should wait until September when the new one come out?

There is no fifth-generation iPod touch at this time. The current units are still the forth-generation hardware.
As to seeing issues here, that's what these forums are for, people with problems. Those millions who are having no problems have little incentive to post here, so you get a skewed viewpoint as to how prevalent any problems really are. It's rather like judging the overall health of a community only by visiting the local hospital. The reality is that you're most likely going to have no problems at all, though no one can guarantee that, of course.
Anyway, it's up to you whether you wish to wait. None of us here know when Apple will release a new model of the iPod touch, nor even if they will, so your guess is as good as ours how long you might have to wait.
Regards.

Should I buy the iPhone 5 now or wait until September?

It's July now and apple usually announces a new iPhone is September should I get the iPhone 5 now or wait until September?

No one but Apple knows when (or if) Apple will release a new iPhone. That being said, Apple has released a new iPhone every year for 6 years straight. If you think you want the newest iPhone, wait a few months and see what happens this year.

Should I buy an Apple TV right now? Because I heard that apple may release a new version this year

I really want to get an Apple TV; but I don't want to get and then a new version will come out. It happened to me with the mini iPad.

Should I Buy an iPod Touch Now or an iPhone 3G After Waiting a Few Months?

I was thinking about whether I should buy an iPhone3G or an iPod Touch v2, but I couldn't come up with a decision. Here are my arguments:
For iPod
1. I can buy one now. Since I live in Canada, iPhone3G will arrive on July 11. However, so many people will want it that I most likely will not get one until a few months. Since my parents only let me go to electronic stores by myself over holidays, I will have to wait until Christmas before I can buy one.
2. I use my phone about 10min a week. I don't text message either. (Most likely won't get a plan for iPhone until necessary or when the price drops)
3. It can be argued that I will use my phone more in 2 years when I'm off to university, but by then the iPhone will be old.
4. People say iPod Touch video graphics aren't that good, but watching videos on small screens tire out my eyes no matter how good the quality is.
For iPhone
1. More functions, such as GPS, phone when necessary, speaker, camera, etc
2. If I wait, the iPhone will be the same price as the iPod Touch as of right now.
3. I have a sim card phone and if Apple decides to go open network then I can replace my phone with this iPhone.
Please help me make a suggestion,
Thanks in advance.

Since I live in Canada, iPhone3G will arrive on July 11. However, so many people will want it that I most likely will not get one until a few months.
There will probably be loads available, I doubt you will have to wait at all (except in line).
(Most likely won't get a plan for iPhone until necessary or when the price drops)
If you get an iPhone, you WILL get a plan as it is required at time of purchase.
Minimum 2 year, $40 voice plan required. A data plan will cost an additional $30.
2. If I wait, the iPhone will be the same price as the iPod Touch as of right now.
As of the 3G iPhone, the actual price of the phone is less than a touch (but requires a 2 year plan).
3. I have a sim card phone and if Apple decides to go open network then I can replace my phone with this iPhone.
If they do offer the phone without a plan, it will undoubtedly cost $100-$200 more since ATT is subsidizing the price.

Should I buy the MBP retina now or wait for the new one?

Hey
I wanna buy a new MBP retina 15" before my uni starts in fall so after like a month and a half. I already have a 2011 MBP but wanna get a new and better one so I am just wondering what is the latest 15" retina by Apple? and when is the approximate date for the release of new retinas? like I mean if Apple has a date for new releases like it has for iPhone and iPad usually like to know if it worth waiting or not
Thanks

I haven't heard anything as far as a new retina models. I just upgraded from a 13" mid 2012 non-retina pro to a 13" late 2013 retina pro. Either way I don't think there will be any major improvements to their retina pros if they do release a new one in the fall. I would say go ahead and get your retina now. Also Apple has a reuse and recycle program along with a student discount. You can take your old mac in and possibly get a store credit towards a new one but I doubt you'll get a huge discount. For my last MacBook, I would only have gotten about $350. But make sure you get what you need in it when you buy it because you can't upgrade the parts.

27" iMac - - safe to buy from Apple Store now ?

With all the issues going on where Apple then had delayed shipments 2 weeks presumably due to the issues, do you think we are good to go now ?
I notice there is still a 1 week lead time online.
Thoughts ?
TIA.

I am a MCSE and have been in IT for 18 years dealing with MS products. I was forced into buying an iMac by my wife because "it would look better in our living room". (She buys cars the same way... it drives me nuts.) I haven't owned an apple product since the Apple IIc.
Then we got the the iMac two weeks ago and it had the screen flickering problem.
So, nobody wants to hate this thing more than I do and I just can't. The "magic mouse" is the greatest user interface achievement since the original mouse. The OS is easy to use and is intuitive even for a Windows geek like me. The engineering put into the overall design (screen problems aside) is far better than anything else on the market. And honestly, it does look good in the living room, but don't tell my wife.
When the screen flickering problem started I started the inevitable rant about how this never happened to me with other machines. Then my wife reminded me that the Dell we bought 2 years ago had a random high volume screeching noise coming from the sound card and that Dell never actually acknowledged the problem.
We called Apple support and got a super helpful tech support person. She began to describe how to download the firmware update and I quickly cut her off and told her that had already been done. She immediately gave me the choice of repair or replacement. I didn't need to argue or complain. It was just that simple. I chose repair because I feared I might get another machine from stock that had the same issue.
So far, I'm quite impressed.

Should I buy a MacBook Air now?

I am in the market for a new machine. I want to get a MacBook Air, but considering the fact they are due for a refresh, is now a good time to buy one? If the refresh is simple internal upgrades, then I don´t mind. If it is major overhauls like significantly improved battery, or better physical design, I might not be so pleased, as this is a very long term investment. What would you guys do? Is the current Macbook Air, good enough to stand its own on whatever might replace it?

If you need a MacBook Air now, buy it now. If you want to wait because you are afraid of a new generation, do it at your own risk, because it may or may not be launched soon. Nobody knows that.
The actual MacBook Air is a very good computer for home tasks, fast, thin and light. Of course, if you want a computer for professional use with applications like Final Cut Pro, Photoshop..., don't buy the MacBook Air because it's not good enough. Instead, I recommend the 15-inch MacBook Pro

Should I buy a MacBook Pro now?

I've been thinking about getting a MBP ever since they came out, however I've always been scared to do it because all the problems they have/had. Due to my work I cannot afford not having a laptop for more than a couple of hours, and it'd create a huge problem if i have to send it back to apple to have it fix, because that would mean not having a laptop for at least a week.
Lately I have been trying to find out how the new MBPs are behaving, and it seems like this is the right time to finally get one, however before i take a final decision I would like to know what you (MBP users) think. Should I get one? Have u experienced any problems with your MBP? Should I wait a little bit longer? etc...
Thank you guys!!!

I sure would not. My MBP was the 11th Mac I've bought for self and kids, and the worst. Problems incude:
Slow internet connect thru Airport Extreme (my PC works fine on it!)
Runs very hot.
Isync stopped working after one use, and tells me I've got the wrong password.
Several undisclosed software updates that I found only after digging on the internet. (Mac software update says I'm up to date.) These included a supposed Apple fix for problems between Intel chips and Airport! Ir did not help.
I'm sending the machine back (I got it 12/29/06) and waiting until they come up with a more reliable product.)
A sad day, but Mac's software and hardware qualify control are on the decline as they focus on ipod and other products. It's not the old reliable it used to be.

Should I buy an Apple TV

Apple TV

I have been putting them on all my TV's in all my houses and yacht, for years. I love putting my photos on the screen saver and watching them spin by while I am listening to one of my playlists or listening to internet radio.
I have unhooked my cable TV and strictly watch and listen to music, videos, podcasts, movies, Netflix, YouTube, etc. over the internet.
Once you start fooling around with it you will wonder how you lived without it, and why you would need anything else.
I have never had a problem with a router. I have never had a problem with the cable modem. I buy them like starbucks coffee and give them to people who have visited my house, and seen what they do, and want one.
For $99 why wouldn't you buy one? It costs less than a decent bottle of wine and lasts a hundred times longer.

Should I buy a MacBook Pro now (Jan 2012) considering that a refresh of the MacBook Pro line is imminent? I will be buying the most basic 13 inch MBP and its taken me quite sometime to save up (almost a year!)

I'm not very well off and although I love MacBooks they aren't cheap either, I've been saving up for a long time now and I don't want to regret it if nvidia or ati graphic cards make an appearance in the new macbook pro 13 basics. Advise please!

While you are waiting for the new models to come out you could of been using the one you bought tomorrow all that time.
When Dell, HP, Toshiba, Sony, Apple, Whoever comes out with new models they will have different thing in them. Faster lower powered CPUs better graphic faster hard drives or SSDs more memory and maybe a better operating system.
So why not wait 1-2-3-4 years. By then the thing may even wash your back and feet for you.
And they wiil be selling at a premium. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Should I buy the Apple iPad 4th Gen?

Hi,
I am a student from India and we have an exchange scheme on iPad which makes it affordable for me to purchase. But my main question is that should i go for the 4th Generation iPad considering iPad Air is already in the market. Also, if i buy the iPad 4th Generation will be outdated in a jiffy?

It won't be outdated. I have an iPad 2 which will be 3 years old in August and it still works fine.
If my 2 is eligible for the iOS 8 update, then your 4 will be as well and as long as the device can get iOS updates then it's easier to keep the apps up to date and functioning. I think the biggest issue I have with my 2 is if I happen to want a new case or the such the selection is getting pretty slim because they're no longer being made.
Your device should work just fine for a good period of time.

Should i buy zen vision: m now or wa

till a newer player to be out? i'm a bit put off by the thickness and weight of the player. but.. i really love the player and its interface. so.. does anyone know whether creative will release a player along the likes of zen vision: m but that is thinner and lighter?

I tried "reset", didn't help!! The player still enters recover mode after resetting.
before entering recovery mode, it displays a message like "firmware problem" quickly.
BTW, recover mode is mentioned on page 27 of user manual.
Normally, a player enters normal operation mode. recover mode is for tasks like
firmware upgrade, format etc.
to manually enter recover mode, slide and hold power switch to "on", at the same time press the reset hole.

Should I buy Apple Protection Plan?

I have a 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2008) whose 1 yr standard warranty be expiring in a month, should I buy an Apple Protection Plan?
I plan to use it for atleast 2 more years but have not faced any problem so far & use it sensibly...

GET IT! My bought a plan for my MacBook Air a month before the one year warranty expired. Well, yesterday I went to turn the computer on and the hard drive was completely hosed. DiskWarrior wouldn't even recognize it. Called Apple last night and FedEx was at my door this morning with a box to send it in for service. They picked it back up this afternoon and I expect it will be back Friday morning before 10:30AM--all covered by warranty.
TIP: Shop eBay for an AppleCare plan. I bought all mine there at around a 50% discount.

Which laptop should I buy?

I am going to a boarding high school... I have a couple old macs and need a new one for school. Ideally about $1500 or less, a little over is okay. I should only use mail, safari, calendar, firstclass, a little photoshop, watch movies, skype, word, itunes, play some games (im not a big gamer, but maybe a little minecraft or something), dropbox, chrome. I'm okay if its a little slow or freezes occasionally, it just has to meet basic needs. Besides that - there is a chance I would install windows 8.
Should I buy an air or a pro? And with which configs? I don't think I want the 11' screen, but if anyone is in a similar situation, screen size reccomendation is helpful. Besides that - anyone reccomend a wireless kayboard, trackpad, or mouse? Maybe one of those thunder display things? Should I buy an apple drive? Basically besides computer adivce, I want accessory advice.
*Note: I know its under macbook discussion, thats because it made me pick a category*

For a savings of 15% to 30% look at the Refurbished Mac page. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac They all come with the full year warranty and you can buy Apple Care for them.
Time Machine will work with any external hard drive. No need to pay the Apple premium.
