Steve Jobs should demonstrate how tough 5G is in public :p

complaints everywhere about 5G scratch.
Apparently the case is not working? or no one use them..?
If the case doesnt help, people should ask steve jobs to do a demonstration of the toughness of 5G
They should just put a warning on the box and say "treat me well i'm fragile" or something.

A lot of people are saying that they are waiting for cases, but the iPod will still get scratched when its out of the case. ive ordered an invisible shield (before i found out about the whole water thing) and ill get a hard case when they come out. no way im taking any risks after spending so much money on one. it isnt easy for me to save £300.
but i can remember how protective i was over my 3G when i first got it. now i throw it all over the place

Steve Jobs keynote speech - how to get that quality and speed?

I watched Steve Jobs keynote speech with interest and envy.
How is it possible to get the video quality so good combined with so fast download - even on a relatively slow bandwidth I could more or less instantaneously scroll to the end?
I run a local net based TV station in Denmark http://www.tv-moen.dk and would love to supply that quality and speed. Can anyone help, please?
Sincerely
Sigurd Bo Bojesen

Dav Sigurd!
You are right, the videos on your site do not run smoothly - lots of stopping and re-buffering.
Presumably they are Flash videos?
Have you tried contacting Adobe?

Yes, whenever you cannot find something you want at the iBookstore, you simply need to try the other free ereader apps like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and Googlebooks and see if one of them has it.

How did Steve Jobs project his iPad onto the big screen?

Steve did it. Why can't we? I understand that Apple's Component AV cable will only play video files on my TV from my iPad, but I would like to demonstrate all the iPad's features to an audience like Jobs did. Any clues, anybody? Thanks.

Mr. Holton is correct: Steve Jobs has specially modified units when he does a presentation on an iPhone or iPad. At this time the only way to project the iPad's interface and most applications would be to use something like a document camera.
Regards.

How to read Steve Jobs biography on a Mac?

I cannot open Steve Jobs biography with iTunes. What application works? Tried using Stanza, but that didn't work either.

Get the Kindle App for Mac. Then get the Kindle version of Steve's bio. Happy reading on your Mac!

A major black eye for Apple and Steve Jobs - an update on activation issues

I am at 30 hours and still waiting for activation!
I have spent over 7 hours on the phone between yesterday and today trying to get my phone activated. I have been talking to AT&T and Apple and I have wasted my day on hold. No one seems to know what the issue is and everyone keeps telling my they are sorry. I am a current AT&T customer and they deactivated my old phone immediately.
I was on the phone with Apple earlier today for over an hour and the rep had to work with AT&T and still could not correct my activation. She "promised" to call back before 7pm PDT to see if my issue was resolved and I should have known better since of course no call was received. I really was not expecting the call but it should never have been offered.
Throughout my numerous calls I was informed that this was becoming a major issue for AT&T and Apple as the day was progressing and that they had numerous people working on the problem.
Where has Apple and AT&t been in all this? Steve Jobs has been promoting the heck out of his product and now he is no where to be found. No statements addressing the issues on either of their web sites. During my last conversation with AT&T, the rep informed me that at 10:36 CDT she received an update from Apple saying that they are trying to resolve the issues and that it may take 24-48 more hours to resolve. The AT&T rep also informed me that they it AT&T was informed by Apple that the issues with activation are coming from the Apple side.
I know that this is a new product and glitches will happen. But Apple created the hype and they should have been prepared.
In the meantime, I will be charged an activation fee even though I cannot activate and I have wasted my weekend with Apple.
I have a feeling this will become a bigger story on Monday when more stories get out to the press and Mr. Jobs returns from celebrating his "succesful" launch. This is a very frustrating experience and this will probably be my last Apple purchase (I own numerous Apple items).
Good luck to everyone else.
I h

Sorry to hear about all your issues. I am about in the same boat. But, I think mines kinda worse..
Got my phone last night, got the typical Your activation requires additional time. Spoke with an AT&T rep about 4pm this afternoon. He said he would push the activation and give it up to 2 hours more.. Great! 5 hours later and nothing. So I call the 877 number, option 3 to check activation status.... Your phone is activated and you should be able to use all features.. WHAT?! I look at my phone.. I still have a globe telling me to activate iphone, connect to iTunes.. Im 45 mins on hold waiting for a rep again and im more mad then it would have been if it said it was still processing! I understand glitches, and I expected a few issues, but nothing like this..
And as i am typing i just got a customer service agent...
They've done everything they can and i need to wait, since it hasn't been 24 hours yet.. ok, now *** is that?! Im just laughing at how absurd that call was. The customer service rep didn't even understand that i was still at the activate screen, she was asking if i had a dial tone? and if i could get into mail or ipod at the bottom.. oh my.. I really hope I dont have to call AT&T support again for my life with this phone, cause its not starting out good..
Best to all.. lets hope this gets resolved soon!!

Where's Steve Jobs when I need him?

Isn't it odd / ironic that the very issue that the early Steve Jobs hung his reputation on -- i.e. fan noise in the the original Mac -- should make such a noted come-back now?!? Although there are no less than 3 fans in my Mac Pro, plus one small one on each video card... mostly, mostly the 5 assorted fans have operated the last 2+ years quiet as a church mouse.
But why does the Mac Pro (my early 2009, in this case) suddently decide to run one of the fans at HIGH speed constantly? And more importantly what can I do about it?
About a year ago, the machine took on this behaviour and I reset the SMC under guidance from this discussion group. The fan problem was resolved.
Repeating the SMC-reset process now results in a temporary cessation of the high-speed fan behaviour, but within 5-10 minutes after re-booting the fan noise resumes. Once begun, the fan runs at high speed exclusively and constantly.
Anybody out there know how to resolve this? Someone channelling my man Steve? You KNOW how we HATE that constant droning sound!!
Thanks in advance.

Are you referring to the Dock?
If it is the Dock that is bothering you, type: command, option, D (all three keys together). That will bring the Dock on the screen permanently.
I do not know how to remove it permanently.

Lunch with Steve Jobs?

Hi Folks,
Background -
I upgraded from OS 10.4.11 to OS 10.5 at the end of last year.. I then discovered that this upgrade nerfed my iMovie v3.0.3 which had worked perfectly right up until the upgrade (I almost managed to restrain myself from thinking.. my goodness, how like a Widows Vista upgrade) however I did not have the time to pursue a solution until this week.
Today -
I purchased iLife08, so that I could continue to edit my ongoing Underwater Red Sea movie project.
Initially I was very disappointed on finally viewing the footage I shot in December 2007 to discover it appeared to be extremely soft focus and grainy and therefore of an unacceptable standard for my project. I initially assumed a fault had developed with my Canon DV Camcorder's focusing, although I was unsure why the footage had looked ok on the camcorder's lcd.
I then got a VERY, VERY unpleasant surprise, because I opened my original project footage which WAS nice and sharp.. NOT ANYMORE. Now it all looks as though it has been converted to a low res Quicktime format to be posted on YouTube.
So my question is very simple.. *** has Apple done in iMovie08, that appears to have ruined my footage and months of work?
I am hoping for an answer at the earliest opportunity or I am seriously considering booking a trip to Cupertino, so I can personally feed my OS 10.5 and iLife08 to Steve Jobs with NO F*ING SIDE SALAD!

It appears I may not be quite the noob that AppleMan1958 was implying..
Steve Mullen has posted a detailed critique of the nerfing of iMovie in its latest incarnation:
'1) SMPTE test pattern shot and recorded at 1920x1080 at 35Mbps on Sony EX1 (XDCAM EX). Vertical and horizontal resolution perfect up to 800-lines. (The limit of my chart.)
2) Down-convert XDCAM EX to DV. DV horizontal resolution is about 600-lines. DV vertical resolution is about 440-lines.
3) Import DV into iMovie 08. The copied file in the iEvent folder has full DV rez (600x440). No damage is done by the import itself.
4) When the DV clip is played in 08, the video quality is -- as folks report -- very bad.
5) Tested with other SD codecs -- just as bad as DV. Problem is not DV. It is SD itself.
6) iMovie 08 kills SD resolution. WHY? My best understanding of what's going on:
7) When playing DV, after pulling an SD frame from disk, 08 downscales the frame. The horizontal 720-pixels are scaled down to 360-pixels. The vertical 480-lines are down scaled to 240-lines. So, with SD, internally, 08 works at 360x240. This causes about a 50% loss of both H and V rez. It also drops the number of images-per-second passed through the GPU from 60 to 30fps. Both reductions have the advantage of allowing realtime FX rendering on slow machines.
8) There are two ways vertical size could be reduced: a 480-line frame (two 240-line fields) can be scaled down to a 240-line frame (two 120-line fields) which means information from different capture times are woven together; or one field can be discarded yielding a 240-line frame. In the former case, you will see combing (thin horizontal lines) on motion. In the latter, you will not. (When playing in 08.)
9) During SD export, the 240-lines must now be doubled to create a 480-line NTSC frame. Each of the 240-lines is sent to 2 output lines -- 1 in the odd field and 1 in the even field. Both fields in each exported frame are, therefore, the same. Stepping by FIELD -- shows no change between fields. (Depending how an up-scale is done, more vertical resolution will be lost during export.)
10) The 360-pixels are upscaled to 720-pixels (or, 848/853/854 depending on your setting). Each of the 360-pixels must fill 2 output pixels. (Depending how an up-scale is done, more horizontal resolution will be lost during export.)
11) Both H and V measured resolution of DV exported to DV is about 200-lines by 200-lines. No wonder folks report 08 outputs very soft video!
12) A SMPTE chart is a very tough test. (In addition to resolution loss, the chart reveals aliasing on diagonals.) Thankfully, looking at real-world DV, the results are nowhere near as bad as from a chart. With real-world video, the images are simply very soft -- about VHS resolution. (Moving objects become a blur.)
13) With exported DV: clicking the QT Player's HQ button OFF slightly reduces vertical AND horizontal resolution. Clicking it ON -- the DEFAULT mode -- returns the V and H rez to "normal." (Yes, the pix looks better when HQ=ON, but the resolution difference is unmeasurable.)
14) Exporting HQ=ON from QT Player does NOT increase file size. Therefore, exporting from the QT player is of no help to the quality problem.
15) An alternate codec for going to iDVD is either M-JPEG or AIC (MPEG-2). Clicking the HQ button OFF/ON does NOTHING with video using these codecs.... '

OPEN LETTER TO STEVE JOBS

I'm not a developper, I'm not an English speaking guy (so sorry for my english) and this is an off topic message but I need to say something....
I have just read abut Steve Job's resignation and I think Apple would never be the same without him. I've read a lot of about Steve and I know he was involved in every little step of every apple product (from the initial design to the final product)
Did you know, for instance, that the Iphone has got just one button thanks to Jobs obstination to simplicity?. Nobody thougt it could be possible but him. He has the ability to transmit his energy and faith to everyone in the company to make his ideas possible.
I'm a mac user 7 years ago, not much, I know, but it is time enough to have my own oppinion about apple and what Jobs represents to the Company.
Mr. Jobs...thanks for my Iphone 4, its simplicity and efficiency that everybody wants to copy from, for my Imac Intel based , for my Lion OS in which I work on what I need without wasting my time in fixing OS problems, for my Ipod and above all...for make me feel I'm in touch with the future every time I use anything from apple.
I hope you'll be in the heart of apple for many many years (even not from you CEO position) ank keep all of us dreaming of the future everytime we see a "bitten apple".
Regards,
C. Llerandi

*1. All Customers should be treated Equal.*
From the ones who purchased the iPhone on Day 1 to the ones who bought an iPhone yesterday. There should be no difference or discrimination on timeline.
Nor should be any difference based on the whims of store personnel. Yesterday some customers got $200 refunds even if they were outside of the 14 day window.
Having set this precedent Apple should follow it for all customers

ITunes Truncate Track Ending, Unsolved in 2+ Years: My Letter to Steve Jobs

I have posted this problem twice in this forum. Twice they were answered with something totally irrelevant, and then marked "Solved" and deleted.
Finally, I am going to mail the CD, and this letter to Steve Jobs, to let him know personally the bug, after so many years of iTunes, and the bullish way his stuff has been treating my questions.
Dear Steve,
My name is Leping, Ph.D. in Physics, working in the San Francisco Bay area as a senior medical imaging scientist. I am a long time and loyal Mac user and promoter -- actually I have not yet really needed to use a PC in my life (except for serious music ripping -- see below), and in the graduate school days our five+ million dollar NMR lab was run from a Mac.
Unfortunately, I am also an avid classical music enthusiasts, and part time musician. Needless to say I am now with my 6th iPod, and I believe I understand all the bells and whistles of iTunes. I am not talking about the higher-level bit-wise accurate CD ripping, that is only available on the PCs, through the EAC software, since also, as a well-regarded and published photographer, I know when is the time to use the pro level applications, such as Adobe Photoshop instead of iPhoto. For my photography works please check out my website at http://www.lepingzha.com -- I will be more than glad if you and/or Apple have use of any of my images.
However, I know a long time iTunes bug, that have never been addressed. Actually I posted it twice to the Apple web discussion forums, but was twice offered irrelevant answers, followed by the subject flagged as "Solved", and subsequently deleted.
Please open the still sealed compact disc in this letter, which I got in a retailer just to show you the problem. The title, Deustsche Grammaphon (DG) B0003902, is "Lang Lang plays Rachmaninov Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 2 and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini". It happens I am a Chinese American, but I want you to listen a bit into the disc not because I am a fan of Mr. Lang's playing -- as a matter of fact I actually not, but for the much more serious reason.
Please rip the Rhapsody in iTunes, to any format (AAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), WAV, MP3...) starting from track number 4. A few tracks after that point would be adequate -- these are very short (10-30 seconds) tracks that truly highlight the problem. Listen to the resulting music, and the original CD, you will immediately hear the big problem, start right at the end of track 4 and at the end of every of these short tracks -- fraction of the ending second(s) are harshly chopped off, brutally truncated, and uncover-ably lost.
The same thing happens anywhere I use the Apple codecs, for example, converting the EAC (bit-wise correctly, as confirmed by its check-sum feature against the known sum database) ripped WAV files to ALAC or AAC, for instance, either on a Mac or a PC. The very same thing just happen, while there is no problem to any other non-Apple codecs (mainly to flavours of MP3 -- since Apple has the AAC and ALCA codec nobody bothered to write their own, I guess). So for our serious classical listeners, the iTunes and the Apple codecs are very problematic if not useless in many cases (operas immediately in my mind)!
Please alse not that, over the time the same problem has always been reported here, there, and basically everywhere, but every time there are gurus made comments which does not solve the issue. The followings are some recent examples.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6246698&#6246698
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6513266&#6513266
I hope you, my much respected and praised Steve, realize, that, how could, and mostly unthinkable, after so many great years, there can be still such very basic and serious issue the iTunes codecs can not handle in the right way? Does the track length information get truncated somewhere (or floored to an integer)? Why it is so difficult to acknowledge such a basic issue, and to have it fixed in the next release?
Thanks for your time and hope you enjoy the music.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Leping Zha, Ph.D.
San Mateo, California, U.S.A.

Finally found the reason: in the track's option field for some reason the "stop time" flag is checked and the timing is always about a second earlier than the actual track length.
Searched Doug's scripts and there is nothing to batch reset, or unflag the "stop time" tag. Anyone has a better idea rather than trying to deselect the tag track by track?
Once the "stop time" is unset the converted tracks will play through without truncations at the end.

Steve Jobs obviously was "the man" because every update or install now gives me problems... i can no longer download anything to my iphone.. giving me errors of "cannot install at this time" and i get an error installing itunes on my other laptop... wth?!

Steve Jobs obviously was "the man" because every update or install now gives me problems... i can no longer download anything to my iphone.. giving me errors of "cannot install at this time" and i get an error installing itunes on my other laptop... wth is going on!??!
ok so the download problem with my iphone.. what could be the cause of that? ive restarted and deleted the "undownloaded app" over 10 times already. and restarted the iphone 10 times... next thing i know i cant install itunes on my laptop.... geez man..
obviously there is a fix which someone will help... but why should i have to go through all that crap to install a so called uncomplicated software... when you think about it this really shouldnt even be an issue.
normally if the thing dosent work. normally with most programs you just uninstall the uncompleted software and just reinstall and everything is usually good to go.. help!

ive never had any problems with ap[ple products in the past... this is a first and a stupid problem if you ask me

R.I.P Steve jobs a creative genius who left his mark on the world.....

So sad to hear the news about steve jobs my thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time, he changed how think about our devices about not just needing them but wanting them. R.I.P.

The way Steve and Apple Computer touched so many lives in so many positive ways is profound beyond words. It is indeed a sad loss for us all, but more so for his family and friends and associates. I too, thank him for enriching my life and opening me up to devices that have brought pleasure and freedom to my personal world.
