Simple Question?? Hope for answer..

I was in another area within the Airport forum when I came across a very interesting question and thought.
"If 500GB HD hooked up via USB to a Airport Extreme has connection issues then what makes me believe the TimeCapsule will not have issues too?"
The problem here is that the Airport Extreme (N) is having some major issues with HD access through it's USB. Is it just a USB thing in the Airport Extreme? I have had issues with single and multiple users losing connections when accessing the HD drive on the Airport Extreme. The HD never sleeps and is always spinning. Apple has not fixed those issues as I, and others have seen.
Is the TimeCapsule different? I thought it was a N-draft with a built in hard drive? Does it have different hardware/software?
I am looking for answers because I received none at MacWorld '08 and will NOT buy the TC if it has the same problems as the Airport Extreme (N).
Thanks.

Keep in mind that this is not a shipping product, so no one outside of Apple has had an opportunity to test it and answer your question "does it have the same problems as the Airport Extreme N".
Speculative answer - Apple has managed to solve the issues through a combination of (a) improved firmware, (b) using a direct interface to the drive rather than going through USB, (c) standardizing the hard drive make/model, and (d) standardizing the drive formatting. I suspect many users problems with use of their own hard drives and the Airport Extreme N stem from "issues" involving (b), (c), and (d).

  • IDM Form components - more questions looking for answers

    Having gotten deeper into IDM, particularly forms since joining this forum, I am still shocked by the sparse documentation available. here's hoping some of you have found some of this out already:
    1. Is there a list of allowed HTML tags that will get through the getLocalizedString without being filtered?
    2. Is there an up-to-date list of allowed properties for Form HTML Components? I have tried verbatim several examples from the documentation where I add properties to the EditForm component only to see them throw an exception when the server tries to display the page
    3. Is there any way to consistently override IDM putting a nowrap="nowrap" attribute in my forms? I have placed <Property name='nowrap' value='false'/> in numerous locations to no avail.
    4. Where can I find more information about setting defaults in the Component Properties object? I have tried to set a lot of component defaults here but only some seem to work.
    Any and all help will be rewarded with much praise and thanks.

  • SIMPLE QUESTION - HARD TO ANSWER?`

    I have an iPod Nano. Very very cool little media unit.
    I have itunes on my iMac.
    I have a playlist I've been building for my angelic wife.
    I've been buying songs from itunes store that go into this list.
    QUESTION:
    When I plug my ipod into my imac to download the songs, I only want the songs from this playlist on my ipod. I don't want it just randomly grabbing songs from my Library like it does each time. How do i get my ipod Nano to grab just the playlist I created for my wife?
    Does the ipod just go for whatever is in your Library, or can I teach it to go for songs just in this one playlist?
    If you can answer this, I will give you 200 Karma points to get you out of any mess you think you got yourself in.
    (here's another little question: did you know that itunes store doesn't really have all the songs that really matter? Did you know that it only has ONE Jethro Tull song? What's up with that?)
    mac imac 20in. 2.1 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    With the iPod connected, go into your iTunes preferences and set it to 'Update Only Selected Playlists'.
    Choose the one playlist that you want to sync.
    Anything in the playlist will be copied to the iPod. Anything not in the playlist will be removed from the iPod.
    More info here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
    RE: Jethro Tull... yes, it's a shame.
    There are many artists/labels who do not have licensing deals to sell content through iTMS. I'm sure Apple would stock every song ever created if they could. We can only hope that changes someday.

  • One SIMPLE, SIMPLE question that the answer seem to be no whre IN PLAIN ENGLISH! What do you have to do to have two of more tabs open at the same time. Just like ANY OTHER BROWSER LETS YOU DO! Ya know....so you can drag and drop things like pics etc.

    For Pete's sake. This is not rocket sience. What more details do you want. I want two tabs OPEN at the same time so I can copy from one to the other or drag and drop from one to the other.

    You can copy text and hover that selected text with the left mouse button down on another tab on the tab bar until that tab opens and drop the text in a text field in that tab. You need to make sure that that text area is visible because you can't scroll the page. You can also tear off that tab (temporarily) to a new window and resize them to see both windows. Move the tab back to the other window once you are done if you prefer that.

  • Simple Question - Need URGENT Answer!

    Would this hard disk work in a PowerBook 1400cs/113 considering that I would divide it into partitions of 8GB and use the left over space for one more partition? And is it the right kind of drive?
    Link to the drive:
    http://tinyurl.com/yboc7t

    I would say no. That looks like a desktop hard drive. The specifications say it's 1 inch tall.
    http://www.samsung.com/Products/HardDiskDrive/SpinPointVSeries/HardDiskDriveSpinPointVSeries_SV3002Hsp.htm
    You need an IDE laptop drive with a maximum height of 17mm. Also keep in mind that the mounting screws on most modern drives will be in the wrong place for your mounting tray. There is a company that sells a drive sled with the correct mouning holes for newer drives.
    http://www.insanely-great.com/features/020121.html
    You are correct about partitioning. You need partitions of less than 8.2 GB. If you're running OS 8.6 or later, you don't need to worry about this size limitation.

  • 2 very simple questions to be answered

    1-Is it possible to change the size of an applet window while the applet is running?
    2-Would you expect to be able to read a file called "MyApplet.class"?
    Tnx in advance

    1. I have not tried this myself but I suppose you could resize your applet at run time using javascript by changeing the height and width attribute of the applet tag
    2. Well dont know what you mean by read, if you mean that "Would the client be able to see how you have done your class" then I'm afraid that the answer is YES!! When someone opens your applet through the browser it gets downloaded on their machiene, then thet can use decompilers to actually generate a .java file out of our class file.
    Hope this helps

  • Simple Question..easy Answer! How to return movie to main menu after end?

    In simulate, the movie simply stops after playing. Same situation with the burned copy. How do i set the movie to return to the menu automatically when done playing?
    There is only one chapter in my movie and one menu, so it's pretty straight forward. Thanks.

    What Eric said, but initially if you drag a track from the Outline view to a button and select "Connect to Track" from the drop-down menu, it will set the jump to and from the button for you.

    Are you using iMovie '11 or something prior to that? Something older like iMovie HD 6 even? If it's iMovie '11 you first import all your video clips into the Event Library. Then you highlight just the pieces you want by click in the Event clip itself, you get a yellow outline box that you can stretch to the size of the video clip. Then drag that whole area inside the yellow box up to the top half of the Window where the Project Browser window sits.
    Add more clips as need, add titles, transitions, still pictures, music, etc. Then go to the Share Menu and decide what you want to do with it. Send it to the Media Browser lets you make DVDs with it in iDVD. Export Movie will save it to the Desktop if you want to upload it to YouTube.

  • Need a simple answer for simple question???

    simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
    not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
    i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
    then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
    its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
    help

    The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
    The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.

    can anyone answer a very simple question for me ive heard the apple was giving away iphone 4 or 4s bumpers is there any truth to that?

    Not any more, no. There was a free bumper program back when the iPhone 4 originally came out. It has long since expired.

  • It will cost $49 for a simple question! Not kidding

    I called Apple support today with an issue with charging and of course they asked if I wanted to extend my warrenty for another year for $69...when I said not right now the guy then mentioned that after my initial year warrenty was up or the extra year was up, if I were to call in for a simple question they charge $49!!!!!! Don't believe me.....call and ask yourself... how insane is that???? Thank goodness for discussions like this!

    ibisguy,
    Shh!! I won't tell him. My lips are sealed. He has about 9 years experience working in Call Centers, and has been known to make a mistake or two himself.
    However, for the iPhone telephone support is tied to your account with the carrier. In the U.S. that would be AT&T and two years.
    The AppleCare Protection Plan extends the hardware coverage to two years. If your iPhone were to break during the second year, any repair except the battery would be $199 (4 GB) or $249 (8 GB) plus shipping, and in some states tax. The battery would be $79 plus $6.95 shipping in the second year. The AppleCare Protection Plan (APP) would cover the battery during that second year if it were to be defective, and shipping for repairs.
