Thank you (again) Apple!

I've been using an aluminum G4 Powerbook for the last 4 years, and just received my new 24" (3.06 Ghz. iMac.
Wow!
What pleased me most on day one was the setup process. Knowing that I'd want to transfer a lot of files from the laptop to the new iMac, so I started the laptop up in "Target mode" and then turned on the new iMac for the first time. At the prompt, ("Transfer files from another computer?") I simply clicked twice to start that process. When finished, the iMac started up with all of my apps, files, and settings just where they should be, which makes it the easiest setup I've ever had with a new computer. Two clicks! How easy can you get?
Since I've been using an external hard drive and "Time Machine" on my laptop, I simply plugged that drive into the new iMac, and everything continued on, as if there was no change. Nice.
And... What this huge monitor is doing for my graphics work is making me very happy. No more squinting, and of course, much faster.
Thank you, to the whole Apple team.

I too have just made the upgrade from an Al Powerbook to the 24" 3.06. So far with the system and Leopard - no problems and an easy transfer. I am very impressed with it. I'd been cruising these boards for a few weeks prior to my purchase and was a little concerned with all the discussions on random shutdowns, warble-ly right speakers, dead pixels, overheating, too hot upper left corners, airport not working after 10.5.3, power supply cable not soldered enough, PRAM, and on and on... But, I'm loving it. Absolutely no problems over its first couple days.
Now on the Mighty Mouse... - not exactly a fan, but it works. If I can't get used to it (touchy side buttons, spastic scroll wheel on zooming google maps) its easy change to a different one if I can't deal.
Still looking forward to Boot Camp. We'll see how that goes.

    Hello, chard2say22. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To create an Apple ID without a credit or debit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup of the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.  At this point an iTunes gift card can be used as form of payment.

  • Hi Lèonie, it is still recording only 8 minutes (more or less). I take off the 'metronomo', time is 'on', the section timing is on 'automatic'. What do you mean saying 'set the tempo to a very low value'  ? Thank you again. Ipad Retina ...

    Hi Lèonie, I tried, but it still recording only 8 minutes (more or less).
    I took off the 'metronomo', tempo is on (automatic), the section time
    is on (automatic).
    What do you mean when you say "set the tempo to a very low value" ?
    Thank you again.
    Best Regards,
    Enrico

    Enrico,
    in your previous post you said:
    GarageBand (used with a Mic microphone) is stopping to record after only 7/8 minutes.
    In which way I may record a complete concert or at least one hour of music ???
    If you want to record at least one hour of music, you need to make the max. of 320 bars last for a long time - for example:
    With a maximum of 320 bars, a song with160 bpm and a 4/4 measure will only last for 8 minutes; to make it last 32 minutes, reduce the tempo to 40 bpm.

  • A thank you to Apple

    I just installed iOS 5.1
    Thank you Apple for removing the totally harmless and extremely useful IconProject's shortcuts. I bet that it was really annoying for you to have people harmlessly customize their phones in ways that you did not predict.
    Also, thank you very much for removing the newsstand hide feature (don't say that it was a bug. If anything, it's now that the thing is bugged). Because, well, you know what's best for me. Thank you for looking after me.
    Lastly, an honest thank you for making my choices easier. My next phone will be an android.

    You are not addressing Apple, this is user to user technical forum of users just just like you. If you would like to send your feedback directly to Apple you can do so via this link http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • I'm disabled cognitively; please where do I download Google for my iPad and the flash for videos sent me?  Thank you! apple!

    Hi Apple iPad,
    I am disabled physically and cognitively.
    I want to download Google Chrome on my iPad as well the flash for my receiving videos on Facebook, etc.
    I was receiving Facebook videos from friends globally, without issue when for the past 3 days or so, facebook states I need a Flash player to view videos.
    Please would you be so kind as to assist me further? I would like direct links to download both applications.
    Thank you very much.

    You can download Chrome from the app store. There is no 'Flash Player' for iOS. There never has been and there never will be. Adobe has terminated all efforts to develop mobile flash.

  • A Big Thank You too Apple, and Advance Electronics.

    This is a thank you first to Apple, for designing such a great laptop, and secondly to the tech's at my local Apple Tech Shop, Advance Electronics, especially Scott.
    About a week ago, an Apple Laptop users worst nightmare happened to me.
    And it was my own fault.
    I split a FULL cup of three cream, three sugar coffee on the top of my MacBook Pro. I won't go into how; I know I am a GIANT IDIOT for ever allowing this to happen, and I literally felt physically ill after doing this.
    So, I spill this Extra Large cup of Tim Horton's finest directly on the keyboard of my MBP. The screen automatically goes blank. It has powered down. I leap into action.
    I flip the MBP upside down, allowing most of the liquid to drain, while yanking the Magsafe (did I mention I love this connector?) and popping the battery.
    Keeping the MBP upside down, I look for a tool small enough to open the RAM door; no luck.
    I call the local tech shop. They have no Mac Techs there on the weekend, but they do have some other talented techs. I have no choice, I need immediate action or my poor MBP is doomed.
    I bring it to the Tech shop. They make no promises, warn me that by having a non-Apple Certified tech work on it, my warranty is void; I am not deterred; spilling coffee on it has already voided the warranty, and I have nothing to lose at this point.
    One week later I have my MBP back. They had to replace the keyboard (can you imagine trying to clean that sucker out?) and the topcase. That's it. everything else is in working order.
    No doubt my own fast action had something to do with this, but without the design and build quality from Apple, and the skill of the first tech to work on my MBP, Scott, I would have a very expensive hunk of scrap right now, instead of my beloved MBP.
    Thanks Scott and Apple.

  • Thank You, Congratulations, and the Apple TV

    Dear Mr. Jobs,
    Thank you for creating the MacBook Air. It’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for in an ultra portable. The weight, battery life, SSD, multi-touch with CoverFlow, iChat with iSight, and full size keyboard make this the best ultra portable laptop in the market in my view.
    Thank you for taking another swing at success with the Apple TV and considering the consumer while you were up at the plate. While I think it’ll be a homerun, I want to offer my view of what’s still needed to transform the Apple TV into a grand slam. The iEvery. Everything, everywhere, anytime. Or better yet, the iFreedom.
    The top two factors in my view that propelled the iPod to reach critical mass were freedom and status. I believe these factors can be applied to creating the same success for the Apple TV.
    Freedom
    As consumers, we embraced the opportunity to transform the hundreds of CDs sitting on our shelves into a single, portable library in our pocket. The freedom to enjoy all of our music anywhere anytime, provided the motivation to digitize our music libraries, and consequently, purchase new digital music legally through iTunes.
    For the Apple TV to succeed, I believe Apple TV or iTunes must facilitate the same legal digitization of our existing DVD film library as is presently provided with our CD music library. That will spark sales for movies in iTunes the same way propelled sales for digital music. Does Congress need to pass a similar law as AHRA for films first or can licensing with the majors sanction this?
    Second, syncing vs. streaming. Once a consumer digitizes the media, the most freedom would be found by storing the digital film on a central home TerraServer that can stream content wirelessly. This seems like a slam dunk at home, but I believe what could propel Apple TV into the stratosphere is the ability for a consumer to stream from his home TerraServer to any location, via the iPhone.
    The next-gen iPhone could stream any file; music, film, documents, etc.., at 3G speeds. The iPhone could facilitate a wireless connection to the MacBook, and thus provide remote access to any file, including a film viewed on the gorgeous Mac screens. The iPhone could be placed into an iDash in your car to provide access to your home TerraServer, and stream music and films into your car’s entertainment system, as well as hands-free, voice powered phone and email communication.
    That is freedom, the iFreedom.
    Status
    The white earphones of the iPod. For the Apple TV/iFreedom, how about wireless headphones with simulated 5.1 when appropriate. Perhaps in the web 2.0 color, lime green. Also close in color to the Granny Smith. =^)
    Thank you again for the MacBook Air. Thank you for listening and considering the consumer. Congratulations on another remarkable year of innovation. I look forward to the next 50 weeks.
    Respectfully,

    What do you mean cut-off? Letterboxed? One side only?
    HDMI should sync up without an issue.

  • HT5622 I am trying to use my Apple ID and Password on Icloud and it says, "A valid ID and not for Icloud.  So do I need to "buy" something to use Icloud?  Thank You, Ken A.

    QUESTION - How to I log into Icloud?  When I use my Apple ID and Password it says,"valid Apple ID and it cannot be used for Icloud". Thank you, KPACPA

    An Apple ID which consists of a non-Apple address can perfectly well be used to create and sign into an iCloud account (most Apple ID's take this form). Your problem is that you can't create an iCloud account on Windows: you can only do it on a Mac or an iOS device. Once created on one of those you can sign into it on Windows using the iCloud Control Panel.

    Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
    For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
    2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
    Thank you again
    I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
    Here is the Apple info on reset.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
    Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

    Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to do. I'm in business again! I had thought of doing this, but didn't think my music would automatically transfer into the new iTunes. It did transfer and I updated to the new version and I'm good to go. Thank you again, so very much

  • Acrobat will not open any documents, HELP! Thank you!

    Adobe Acrobat will not open any documents, it tells me it is a trial, I click on license product and get a thank you for your Adobe Cloud subscription... but then when I try to open a pdf I get the same message it just keeps looping from trial will run out in 7 days to trial will run out in 13 days and I can never open a pdf. I am going to try and uninstall and reinstall. For most of us, not being able to open a pdf is comparable to not being able to work. This is totally UNacceptable. Clients and bosses are counting on my being able to do my job, I can't say to them, "Oh well the dog "Adobe" ate my homework." PLEASE fix this Adobe! Thank you.
    Here is a screen shot of the messages...
    I  uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled from Adobe Application Manager, thought all was great when it asked for my user name and password, then when I clicked Launch... same issue. FRUSTRATING! Any one have a fix? I even created a pdf using InDesign, made sure I had View PDF after exporting checked and still got that awful Trial box. The pdf did show up in my documents, but I can not open it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you Manish-Sharma, I followed the instruction in the thread, and for the first time in a week I can actually open a PDF. I am not sure if this will be a permanant fix, we will see on the 30 day mark. I really appreciate that you read my question and gave me an answer that allowed me to open Acrobat. I also opened Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and AfterEffects. They all opened with the exception of a small glitch when I opened Illustrator which was cleared up in moments. See screetshot.
    Thank you again! Much appreciated!

  • Thank you to John Waller

    Multiple thanks to John Waller for his help in finding LR5 registration number (Via Bellarc advisor). It worked like a dream, unlike my previous attempts yesterday to use Adobe's "chat" support function to get through to, and get understandable answers from, Adobe's alleged  phone supporters. Thank you again.
