Still sticking with Netflix for now, but....

I LOVE the idea of Apple TV. I love the idea of rentals. I don't think the price is too much as it easily compares to going across the street to Hollywood Video.
However, with Netflix for my $10 a month, I can watch 4-8 movies a month, and can even rent HD if I want too. I don't mind waiting a day for them to arrive in the mail.
Until Apple offers a comparable monthly subscription I won't take the plunge just yet. They are close though.. really close.
(P.S. What's with the 24 hours to watch a movie once you have started? What happens if you get interrupted or something? They need to address that as well...)

Well the flat fee thing is def. better in my opinion as well... by the way netflix offers UNLIMITED streaming now. check that out.
Of course Netflix is very blocky, no dolby surround and doesn't work on mac or linux machines.
The price is comparable with other online services. Also, the 24 hour period is quite common. I mean the rental has to end SOMETIME that's what makes it a rental.

  • Sticking with Lion for now.

    Based on all the trouble that people are having, and based on all the issues that people went through, including me, when upgrading to Lion, I am sticking with Lion for a while.
    Lion is stable enough for me and whatever quirks and speed issues that might remain are not enough to make me torture myself and wreck my system for now.
    I'll wait for 10.8.4 at least. I can't imagine all the people having trouble are novices.
    Is this what Apple expects? Its users to find out what's wrong with their OS?

    Mountain Lion upgrade from Lion on three Macs went
    just fine.  Prior to upgrade, made sure all apps were
    updated (or upgraded) to most recent versions available.
    Did checks to insure all hard drives were in good shape.
    Most importantly, backed up all data and also created clones
    of each system, so if there were problems, return to normalcy
    would be quick.
    The systems:

    early 2011 13" 2.7GHz i7 Macbook Pro
    mid 2010 Mac Mini used as HTPC

  • Trying to download itunes onto new PC from browser, it comes up with thanks for downloading but it is not !

    Trying to download itunes onto new PC from browser, it comes up with thanks for downloading but it is not !

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Huge file size with Save for Web but preview is ok

    Hi,
    I have googled but not found anything about this but I have the same problem on my computer and also on a colleagues computer so it seems it should not be totally unknown.
    This is what i do
    1 Open a eps file, one color logo, 72dpi, size it to 110x21
    2 save for web
    3 select png-24 format. preview says file size ~1.3 kB
    4 save -> actual file size on disk is 4 kB (ie 3 times bigger file size than it should be)
    5 Preview and then right click in browser + save image as gives correct file size (on my colleagues computer this does not work, he always gets the wrong size)
    I have also tried with gif and various settings, image sizes etc and the result is the same.
    I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit and Photoshop CS4.
    Is this a known problem?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply but i don't think that's it. When I check properties on the file in Windows it tells both "Size" and "Size on disk", where the latter is actual size on disk (depending on cluster size) but the size I am talking about is the first one.
    Also just to be clear, when I say Preview, I mean clicking the Preview button that opens the file in a browser window. Not the preview within the Save for Web and Devices dialog. So I think this file is correctly created and *should* be the same as if I click Save (but it obviously isn't)
    This sounds very much like a bug to me, anyone else who have seen this or can recreate?
    Thanks

  • No output with IMPORT_TEXT for RTF, but perfect in preview mode

    I need to print a WORD document with the Job Ticket.  I have saved the document in RTF formant and added the IMPORT_TEXT logic to bring the document in.  In PRINT PREVIEW mode, the result is exactly what we want, but if run to produce printed output, not only the WORD document doesn't print, but the original SapScript Job Ticket no longer prints either. 
    This occurs even if I don't try to print any of the text from the WORD document.  All I have to do is perform the IMPORT_TEXT routine and the SapScript output is lost.

    WS_UPLOAD says it is for ASCII files only and is marked as obsolete.  Therefore, I tried using the GUI_UPLOAD.  I experienced the same problem as with IMPORT_TEXT.  The original document stopped printing when I just executed the GUI_UPLOAD function module.  I didn't even try to use the information that I had uploaded to the internal table.  I did check the table and in both cases, the text was loaded from the RTF WORD document.

  • Developp with LabVIEW for PC but need to compile for MAC

    Hello,
    My customer has a LabVIEW Professionnal development suite for Windows.  All the applications should be running under Windows but one (a file viewer) needs to run under both Mac OS and Windows.  How can I acheive this?  Do my customer needs to buy another licence?  Would an application compiled under windows runs on a Mac if the LabVIEW run-tine engine for Mac is deployed?
    By the way, the application doesn't use any OS related VIs...
    Regards,
    Patrick

    Patrick
    You will need to compile the application on a Mac (there is no cross platform compiler). Then you should be able to deploy tothe customers Mac with a run-time engine.

  • Howto setup an imap connection with ssl for incoming, but nonssl for outgo

    I am just stucked in a "simple" problem. Our mail-server is doing imap with a special configuration:
    - incomming is running imap/ssl on port 443
    - outgoing is running non-ssl (plain) on port 25
    The problem is that I can not set the "use ssl" and "port" configuration for incoming or outgoing separately. Or I assume I just can not find the way to setup this in the right way.
    Any hints on this?
    Carsten

    Hi. To set up you ssl incoming connection, open Preferences>Accounts. Click the Advanced tab, and near the bottom, you will see a place to enter the port number and check ssl enabled. For the outgoing connection, in the preference box, click Account Information. At the bottom you should see outgoing server information. Click on this and scroll to Edit Server List. Select the appropriate server (if you have more than one) and Click the Advanced tab. You should see a radio button that selects Standard ports (25 is among them).
    My account is set up exactly the same way without any problems.

  • I'm still working with snow leopard, now maverick is on offer - do I need to upgrade to lion first?

    Just got the offer to upgrade 'for free' to maverick - the catch is it only works if you have lion. I have snow leopard. Any thoughts and recommendations?
    I'm getting confused here what is a good idea for an upgrade and what isn't. I don't want to end up not being able to use applications because the OS have moved on I didn't upgrade in time to whatever OS that makes sense.
    I'm also reluctant to change OS because I don't want to upset the apple cart. All is working well at the moment, I don't need disruptions to any programmes. I also have a Macbook Air that needs to communicate seemlessly with my Macbook Pro. So I cannot afford to mess them around with upgrades.
    Any helpful hints or links appreciated.

    Thanks for the explanation WZZZ!
    Since the laptop is about the only real piece of kit that I use for work and communication its not just down to money. I need it to work...
    Tried to figure out what I can or cannot upgrade - unfortunately I couldn't find my receipt to check when I actually bought my Macbook. I have therefore copied the basic info about my laptop here - does this tell me what I could theoretically upgrade to?

  • Ipod works with USB 1.1, but not USB 2.0 (30GIG)

    Has anyone had this issue? I plug my 30GIG iPod into a USB 2.0, and it says updating, do not disconnect for what seems like an eternity. Eventually, it pops up saying the ipod appears to be corrupted, restore to factory settings? I respond ok, and then it fails to restore. Tried multiple USB 2.0's, same thing.
    Next, I pluged into my USB 1.1, and it pops up itunes (latest version) almost immediately, and shows the ipod, and allows me to xfer tunes immediately.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    I'm having a similar problem. I've tried reinstalling USB2.0 drivers, iTunes, iPod but cannot get it to work. It just shows up in the device manager as 'USB Mass storage device' with an exclaimation mark next to it. I've tried to update the drivers for the 'USB MAss storage device', however it just says that I've already got the most updated drivers for the device. I've succumbed to the 1.1 for now, but would really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this situation!
