Someone asked whether ATV was worth it or not - here are my thoughts

Whether or not ATV is a good product probably depends on where youlive. Im writing from Adelaide Australia and ATV is a disappointmentfor me right now.
The best download speed my ISP can provide - which Ithink is the standard at moment in this part of the world - is simplynot enough to use ATV without major hassles. I have to wait at least 2hours for movie to download, so it takes quite a bit of spontaneity outof home movie watching.
There are also some features I just cant figure. For example, I purchased and downloaded a movie last week (took 2 hours) but could not watch it at the time. However, I went to watch this evening thinking that it would have been stored somewhere on ATV, but no. I had message that it was downloading (again!) and would take(another!) 2 hours.
All of this is especially annoying because I thought ATV would be a better option to going to the local video store. Itisn't. Its just a nuisance and a waste of time and money for me.

BTW does anyone else have a problem in replying to postings? I cant (that's why Im writing here). I keep getting a red message saying there is an error. Thoughts?

The Apple TVs implementation of streaming is very poor. It works as if it has no buffer or cache so if you have a less that 5mb connection it is worthless for streaming of any kind. The Netflix, Podcast, and YouTube streaming works fine but the rentals simply do not work for users that do not have a extra fast connection.
I had to up my connections speed from 3mb to 6mb before it was acceptable. And then twice now I have been watching a rental and it stops right in the middle of the show and the show is never seen again on the Apple TV, unless I rent it again an hope it plays all the way through this time.
I use my Apple TV all the time for everything but Apple TV rentals because that system is horribly broken.

On my 1st visit to a certain website, Firefox _very briefly_ asked whether to remember my username and password. I was too slow: the dialog bar disappeared and now, I cannot find where to enter that logon info for my daily returns to that site.

On only the very first visit to a website, Firefox _very briefly_ shows a "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" dialog bar at top right of screen.
The first time that I used Firefox to access this particular, and very often visited site, I missed that dialog bar. It disappeared before I had a chance to mark any one of the three boxes and now, I must enter my log-in information anew at every log-on to that site.
There _must_ be a way to get Firefox to give me a second chance for entering this info, but I cannot find how.
Can someone please help?

After first closing the site's browser window, I cleared the cookies with no problem.
Next, I opened up the page that is causing my problem. The Microsoft Security window opened up as it should and it was blank.
The option of whether I was using a public or a private
computer was blinking on 'public' as it should and I changed that to 'private'.
The lines for 'Domain/Username' and 'Password" were blank, as they should be at this time.
I entered whatever I had to on these two lines, then clicked on "log In". At no time, however, did the Firefox toolbar at top of screen (picture file attached) appear and ask whether to remember that password. Yes, the page now opened - and we are back to Square One.
I am aware that when entering the URL in the address box, a dropdown box opens and contains quite a few URLs identical to the one I am entering just now, or at least connected to pages of the same site.
I am wondering whether that is what's messing me up? But how can I clear these entries of "websites visited in the past from Firefox's memory?

I have a monthly subscription for PS and Lightroom.
When I opened Lightroom this morning, it told me an upgrade was available through CC. I probably did something wrong, butI couldn't get it to download.
I came on the forum and read a couple of discussions on your pages and found a reply that posted links to the pages where Lightroom 5.7 could be downloaded.
I clicked the link and downloaded the update fine.
However, now when Lightroom opens, it is asking whether I want to BUY or have a free 30 day trial and won't progress any further into the app.
My CC icon reveals that my software is up to date but I can't get past this register screen, without selecting BUY or FREE 30 TRIAL .
can anyone help please?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7or later : Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

In Firefox 3.6.16, for pdf files, I have a choice between using Preview or asking whether to save; what happened to the choice between Preview or save?

I am running Firefox 3.6.16 on a Mac Air (OS X 10.6.7). When given a url ending in .pdf, it used to be that Firefox would offer a choice between running Preview on the pdf file or saving the file. Now you can set your preferences so that either you run Preview, always save, or always ask whether to save. Apparently there is no way to get it to ask you whether you want to run Preview, save the file, or cancel. Is there some way to restore the old behavior?

Check the setting in Tools > Options > Applications

HT204022 When a photo that is included in photo stream is deleted from cameraroll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photostream too, shouldn't it? How do I delete a bad photo from camera roll and photo stream? I have to delete it twice???

80% percent of photos we take are bad photos, we delete them later when reviewing them. Now the photos are in both camerroll and photostrean. When we delete them from the camera roll they do not get deleted from photo stream, when I delete them from photo stream they do not get deleted from camera roll.
I want to keep good photos only in both photo stream and camera roll. How do I do it? Delete them twice?? What a waste of time.
When a photo is deleted from camera roll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photo stream too. Otherwise photo stream is useless.I remove bad photos from camera roll but they all stay in the photo stream ...

Hi JM,
Even 20 days later, the answer is the same.....you have to delete photos from them individually - they are kept in separate places, so you have to delete them from both if you don't want them. However, photostream will, eventually, "delete" the bad photos, since it only keeps up to 1000, and then starts overlaying the oldest ones....
Sorry....

I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...

I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...
iPhones are duty free and even with a $50 shipping fee it would only come to £185.75 including VAT at the current exchange rate.

How much a month is the standard 24month contract with AT&T or one of the other American providers that makes the handset cost $199?
Here's the cheapest plans available from the big three:
The plans start there and can run up to $230/mo (for AT&T).

How to Verify whether CAPolicy.inf Configuration was picked correctly or not ?

Hi ALL,
can you please suggest me a way to verify whether CAPolicy.inf Configuration was picked correctly or not during CA installation and if it was not picked up correctly where can I see the error messages what exactly went wrong ?.

Hi,
I do not know anything about a logfile but if it was picked up then you see the settings in the certificate (e.g. keylength) or the settings for AIA/CDP are visible in the CA MMC in the externsions tab.
A not uncommon issue is that the file itself is saved as capoily.inf.txt file from notepad and then the CA install wizard ignores the file. so check the filename from a Windows command prompt.
Hope that helps,
Lutz

Try booting to the Recovery drive, running Disk Utility and Repair disk and Repair Permissions.
1. Reboot and immediately hold down command and R (two keys).
2. When you see the screen shown on this page, select Disk Utility and continue.
3. When DU is running, select the hard drove on the left, First Aid and Repair Disk.
4. After Repair Disk, click Repair Permissions.
Quit DU and restart.

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.

My aunt just bought her phone ( iphone 5c ) but then when i tried entering the serial number on apple's site it shows as iphone 5s. I asked my aunt what's the color of her phone and she said it was green and it was iphone 5c. Could this be a fake iphone?

My aunt just bought her iphone (5c) for half of its original price here in Phils. So to check it was a
Egit one, i asked for the serial number by checking the settings of her phone. After geting the serial nu,ber, i entered it in apple's site to verify. I was kinda surprised since the phone that appeared was 5s instead of 5c. I asked my aunt what's the color of her phone and she said it's green. So could this be a fake iphone phone?

If the warranty is showing less than 12 months ,the iPhone has already been activated ,so yes most likely secondhand
