Some Pro's Opinions on the Best iPod for exercise and while using the MBP.
Is it true that because of the moving parts that the classic should not be used for any type of exercise? When they first came out, I never thought about this or never got this from anybody else so I used my Classic for year without any trouble. I do not do aerobic exercise since the ear buds would not stay in my ear canal, but it seemed to work great. this was a long time ago, I think around 2001, but it got stolen so that ended that for me.
I am now in the market for another one, getting some better Westone 3 ear plugs, but I am not sure what iPod to get. I am not into breaking iPods, now that I have this information that was not a problem many years ago, but I would like some feedback if anybody cares to share their experience. I would need a case and wondering if anybody has used a case that works well for exercise as far as sweat clipping it somewhere, etc.
finally, has anybody come across the articles they have on here somewhere that applecare uses when we all cal in with a problem, they are the same articles that applecare (I heard this, but makes sense) uses as a starting point in trouble shooting problems. Anybody know how to get in to that archive?
As far as the ear plugs, I know a headset would be better to use with the MBP, but since I am spending a fortune for the Westone 3 ear plugs, I am trying to see if they will sound good on the MBP.
God Bless.
iPods with hard drives such as the Classic (the older iPod you describe was not a Classic by the way. It's counterintuitive but the Classic is the most recent series of hard drive based iPods) will be more prone to failure if subjected to jarring. "More prone" doesn't mean that the will fail you ever exercise with them. My first gen iPod (the 5gig brick) was used for running when I owned it and is still being used for running by the friend I gave it to.
I also used my 3rd gen Nano, 2nd gen shuffle and all three generations of Touches for exercise, including running. The are all flash based so less susceptible to problems from jarring or bouncing. The Nano and the 2nd and 3rd gen touch can be used with the Nike+ Sport kit which is nice if you walk or run. The Touch also has applications that can be useful when exercising. For example, I use an interval timer. The 2nd gen Shuffle is my iPod of choice when racing as it's easier to hide if they want to give me a hard time about it and because it's so light. Before the Touch supported the Nike+ Sport Kit, I used the Nano a lot.
My best advice, especially if you're not running, is to buy whichever iPod suits most of your needs. If the Classic suits you because of it's greater capacity, for example, go for it.
Best of luck.

Who Has The Best Platform For Buying and Selling Used and New Video Games?
plz suggest..........
I'm not sure if I understand the questiion or not. But gamest$p seems to hold the market on new and used games.
Because of the high cost of gaming and the economy, I never buy new games anymore.
I buy from pawnshops and kraigslist.

I will be buying an IMac 27 inch in December. What is the best configuration for photo and possibly video processing.Does one need a Mac Pro? Dream machine!
Just to explain what I just wrote to Laundry Bleach:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube? -
What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format?
I have researched and found out that the AAC format rules over the MP3 format as fas as sound quality goes with lossy formats. Example: AAC at 128 is better than MP3 at 160 as so forth. My questions are: What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format? Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format? Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format? Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format? Please help!

It is a matter of opinion, but I suggest 256 kb/s, CBR, and leave all other settings on automatic.
Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format?
Yes. Just put them in a playlist and burn.
Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format?
Yes. You will see it as an option in the Import Settings.
Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format?
EAC does a better job of correcting errors in damaged CDs, but for normal CDs iTunes does a fine job of ripping to AAC. -

I am attempting to update to the new os x mavericks and while completing the download it prompts me to choose a disk. I have chosen the only option I am provided and am then told that the update cannot be installed on "untitled 1" what am I supposed to do?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the installation again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
the camera app on my iphone 4S is crashing and while using the rear video cam black wavy lines are appearing but only when exposed to flurescent light in addition to the front cam... can any one please tell me what is happening???
Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!
Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.
Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe? -
After the most recent iPhoto update, I keep getting the following error: "iPhoto quit unexpectedly while using the Sonix SN9c201 webcam plugin." This seems to happen after *every* iPhoto update. Is there a fix on the way?
As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option. In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
Any other suggestions? -

The model classes get generated under gen_cmi folder at the time of model import.
As far I know, the Web Dynpro build operation also re-generates these classes if reqd.
That is why I asked you to delete the gen_* folder content & do a Project Rebuild operation.
Or you can delete the model & try importing it again.
If the problem persists with the generated classes then there is an issue/bug with the generation & I would recommend to raise an OSS message (WD Java component)

What would the best iPod for me be?
Ok, so I apologize if this is a little off topic or something.
I am a 15 year old, 10th grade American.
I currently have a shuffle, which I hate.
I only have about 300 songs in my iTunes library, but I'm working pretty hard on building up my music collection.
I have 200$ that I can easily spend.
What iPod do you guys think would be best for me?
I like the new nano 4th generation--would that be good? and if so, 8GB or 16GB?
I would want this iPod to last me at least until college, but probably longer.
What are your opinions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Well, since you are fifteen and wish to use this iPod until you enter college, which iPod you purchase depends on your needs.
One, since an iPod can be enabled for hard disk use to save text to, you could save files for school on it as well as music. Since the iTunes songs can be as large small as 3MB and as large as 10MB, add on video files and that takes up storage fast. I'd go for the 16GB, especially since you mentioned you'd like to add to your iTunes Library.
If you take good care of an iPod, it will take good care of you. I have a 2nd generation iPod (6rs old) and still running the original battery)... The iPod Nano 16GB holds 4,000 songs/16 hours of video and FREE shipping on orders over $50.00... sounds like a winner to me but get all the advice you can.

Pls help putting together the BEST SOLUTION for PP and AE CS4
Hi guys
I was tasked to put together the best machine (machines) for video editing / rendering .. money is not an issue.
My client is a TV broadcasting network and they do lots of videos everyday .. They want to render their work as FAST as possible because sometimes they have tight deadlines and rendering and re rendering (if there are mistakes) has cost them .. so now they're serious about getting the best technology to achieve best rendering time possible, but in a bit of practical sense of course.. i mean there's no sense spending 1000USD or more for a piece of technology that offers under 10 second faster rendering only ..
What they do and want
- edit/put together/ sequence lots of videos constantly, under premiere cs3 (will upgrade to cs4 on the new machine)
- use affter effects for some effects and 3D stuffs.. but not that much.. but increasingly as time goes by and their video editors get more affter effects training..
- needs really really fast rendering!! Right now it takes them typically 1-2 hours to render stuffs, and what to cut this time by half or more..
Existing Setups on work stations:
Intel QuadCore (Q6600, i7, Q9550, Xeon x3220, and the likes)
4GB RAM DDR2 1066mhz
Highend motherboards
GeForce 9500GT , 9800GT, and GTX 260 216sp
GSKILL Falcon 64GB SSD Drive as primary
1TB Western Digital BLACK edition drives for storage
Software:
Windows XP 32 bit
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (80% of all their work done here)
AE CS3
etc..
Running NOD32 Antivirus
I am an somewhat of an expert in Hardware and stuff, i build custom PC's machines most of my life but i have limiited knowledge on optimizing hardware for VIDEO EDITING stuffs.. so i turn to you all.
I do understand that w/ video editing CPU is the most important, followed by RAM, and ofcourse by HDD for disc caches and stuff.. and where videocard may come to an advantage as well. and normally i'd suggest the fastest components available . i7 , extreme processors, skulltrail dual quad setups perhaps? RAID 0 SSD Drive? etc.. but I do not know w/c gives the most advantage, and w/c is a waste of money..
I also read about quadro cards offering really big performance improvements using CUDA tech etc..
again im not the expert at this type of requirment.. so i need your advises..
with unlimitted PRACTICAL budget given to me to come up w/ a solution I initially thought a rendering farm would be the solution, but upon reading around it seems there's no rendering farm solution for PP CS4.. just the adobe after effects part.. so i had to go back to the drawing board and suggest really powerful work stations instead..and perhaps have them migrate to 64bit OS for that "extra" performance.. i myself am on win7 64bit and it's looking mighty good.
1) is this the right move?
2) is it still worth it to put together rendering farm for AE renders only? or might as well concentrate funds on the machines/workstations?
Also along the PRACTICALITY LINE, would it be practical to maintain all the existing machines, and instead build a manned RENDERING MACHINE w/ PP and AE (basically desktop or Server if they are faster at rendering w/ the best specs for the purpose etc) where they can just throw the workload to some guy there for rendering? Atleast the editors can continue using the workstations while the rendering machine guy is at work? and even perhaps setup a gigabit lan network where the RENDERING MACHINES can dynamically pull the work load via the network , not needing to transfer the files to the rendering machine first ? etc
as you can see im not only looking for the best machine, but the best STRATEGY for my client.
Good suggestions would be much appreciated.
regards to allin a nut shell no. if you do not have to "Share" then Avid is pointless Adobe is a far better answer.
Avid solutions still need a computer. The Mojo.Nitris are a joke and Avid no longer provides computers even the Symphany comes with your choice of Apple Mac Pro or HP 800. (Dual Xeon)
there are better "hardware" answers that what Avid sells for Adobe. Decklink, Aja to name a few.
if you have to share then you have no choice. this is the one area Abode does not lead.
renders have to do primarily with 2 things CPU power (Xeon will render faster than single i7)
and Drives. the faster your drive set up the faster the render. Memory does play a part and so does the video card depending on what codec and to what
it also depends on WHAT you are rendering and from what for the HDDs.
without knowing your work flow format and codec its impossible to suggest something.
in terms of rendering
Core i7
Dual Xeon (faster unless still doing DV/HDV thru firewire)
Sonnet raid array
