The "i" in all the software & hardware?

I didn't know where to post this so here it is! A friend asked me the other day what the "i" meant in itunes & the others. Does it mean anything & if so what?
Thanks,
Harris

It originally stood for Internet, but now it pretty much stands for "Cool Apple Consumer Device". See http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=515863 for a more detailed answer.
Personally I like to think it means 'idiot-proof'!

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business! I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar. I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade. We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

Apparently my Mac is too old now to sync with newer products. How do upgrade the software/hardware so i can keep up to date. I love my mac and dont want to buy a new one. Is it possible?

Help! I am struggling and im really not a wizz with technology. I must have missed the morph into the new world! I have a macbook (i think!) and i found that im still running off the version 10.5.8. I have just plugged in my new ipad, and tried to get it synced with Itunes and it said i needed a newer version.
Am i able to upgrade to a newer version and if so, how do i do it...i really dont want to throw out this computer because it is awesome...can someone please help me?

To be able to connect with the devices that need a newer version of iTunes, you are first going to need to upgrade you OS X. To do this from where you are at, first you need to make sure that your computer meets the minimum requirements for OS X Snow Leopard which you can find here http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 and then after verifying that it can, you then need to order the Snow Leopard CD from Apple to do the upgrade. You can purchase the CD from them for $19.99 and when it gets to your house, you can insert the CD in the drive and press the "C" key while booting your computer. Then you'll get the install wizard from the CD which will give you directions you need to install Snow Leopard on your computer. After getting that installed, make sure you update the software on your computer and it will get you what you need to be able to Sync your devices. After you get Snow Leopard installed, if you wanted to go further you could then upgrade to 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion if your computer can handle those as well, and you can do that right from the App Store that will be available to you from Snow Leopard and you don't have to order a CD for those.

Missing software/hardware/serial number.

Hey there.
I have a treo 750 AT&T branded that i got shipped over from the states when the came out and were still unavailable in Australia where i live.
Id love to be able to update it with the 2.25 but the AT&T one i downloaded says it only works with an updater with a service.
Should i be using an unbranded update or am i missing something.
Ironically as well when i hard reset my phone when i got it the software, hardware and serial number were erased in the start/system/about/phone.
Is there anyway to get them back so i can try to get a legit download that will work because this having the time messed up and unable to DST it is making feel like hitting something (probably the phone) with a hammer.
Any help would be appreatiated.
Cheers

Ok. At this point I tell you, you have the update. Next thing to try is a hard reset of the device. Right now something is wrong with it you should have on that device a remote desktop in the start menu or in the programs. If it is not there we need to see if we can get the device back working correctly. Now this is up to you if you don't mine not seeing the software/hardware/or serial number and not having the remote desktop you do not need to hard reset.
to hard reset go here http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
If you have any questions post back.

I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC. The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac.. They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only. If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license. You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership. You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans. There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are a problem

HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are not allowing paper to feed until several steps are taken first.
(I am using Windows 7. I also use the virtual XP mode and mostly MS Office 2003 docs).
I have had this printer for several years and love it. Before I toss it out, I thought I would check if I could get it to work properly before I buy another printer. Note: I did put in a new HP black cartridge (because it was out of ink) but the printer was not working properly for several days before I changed the cartridge. The printer was at step 5 before ink change.
Lately, each time I turn on my printer, I have to go through the same routine
1. The printer wants to align the cartridges so I push OK
2. The paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing.
3. Error message appears that it is out of paper. So I press OK to continue.
4. It says "aligning print cartridges" runs through 2 sheets of blank paper without trying to do anything and then states "cartridge alignment failed" "Press OK to continue"
5. Screen is now normal and it appears it is going to work.
6. It makes no difference if I used the copy function OR when I send a print job from the computer, the paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing but nothing happens.
7. Error message appears that it is out of paper. OR that it is the wrong size paper. I pull the paper that was at the proper place to be printed from the printer and then the error message says "Paper jam. Press OK to continue"
8. I press OK. The printer will then quickly feed in and eject 2 sheets of paper before it will actually start printing the print job. It will work fine after this as long as I print from the same document.
9. If I want to print a different document then I have to start all over again at step 6 to get the printer to work. If I shut the printer off I have to go back to step 1.
What I have already tried
A. Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver direct from HP web site. I have done this several times with both the basic driver download and the complete package download.
B. I have done a partial reset by unplugging the printer, and then re-plugging the printer while pushing the "# and 3" buttons while turning on the printer. I have done this several times. Each time it will work fine until I try a different document of turn off the printer.
C. I have downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and used it several times. It states that "everything checks out OK"
D. I have downloaded the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility 4.0 but it does not work with my printer.
E. I have cleaned all the rollers and blown air throughout to make sure there were no bits of junk in the paper's path or blocking a sensor.
F. I have tried different brands and weights of paper (all 8½ x 11) but nothing works.
Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the virtual machine so I could print XP files. This may just be a coincidence because the printer has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer being on.
Thanks for looking at my issues. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

I just tried using Notepad as you suggested and had the same result. Paper feeds in stops at proper place and error message "out of paper"
I just put in two new HP ink cartridges because the other two were low and I was told that this might be the problem.
I seem to remember that the HP 2610 shows 2 "ink icons" in the lower left corner. One for black and one for color. The ink icons would change from completly full to just an outline as the amount of ink went down. Currently the black ink icon is missing
This is a very frustrating problem because the printer works great after doing a few steps to get around the problem. The fact that the problem reoccurs any time anything is changed is the major problem
Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the Windows 7 virtual machine so I could work with Windows XP programs. This may just be a coincidence because the printer still has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer even being on.
I want to thank you for all of your efforts. Perhaps this is a unique problem that will never be solved and it is best to take my losses and buy a new printer. As a last chance, if possible, could you refer my post to someone who is an expert with the HP 2610 printer.

R2 CU2 Software/Hardware Inventory updates taking very long to show up in the console after CU2 update

I have recently updated my ConfigMgr 2012 R2 infrastructure from CU1 to CU2 prior to a large migration from 2007 R3. I ran a bunch of tests prior to the migration with the CU1 update and didn't notice any major issues with clients reporting in initially.
I am noticing with CU2 that the initial hardware and software inventory coming from the clients is significantly delayed. I am seeing processing take 2-3 days to show up and register in the admin console. I have a colleague at a consulting company
that is noticing the same thing after applying CU2. I depend on some file information and OS inventory (x86-based PC/x64-based PC) information that is gathered for collections and this post-CU2 delay is causing some frustration.
I am migrating my 2007 R3 clients via WSUS/SUP migration via site level group policy and all of them are getting the RTM 5.00.7958.1000 client with no issues at all and I am trying to ensure they get the CU2 client 5.00.7958.1303 update afterwards via the
join to the collection based on hardware/software inventory but again, this delay is obscene.
I am running one primary parent server and a bunch of secondary servers in local offices, all running on Windows 2012 R2, SQL Standard 2012 SP1 CU8 (primary parent server) and SQL Express 2012 SP1 CU8 (secondary site servers).
What is interesting is that the workstations and servers are getting the appropriate policies (client and Endpoint) from the ConfigMgr infrastructure and the UI on the workstations/servers reflects this but the Admin Console is not reflecting these
updates/changes as they get applied, the delay mentioned above.
Has anyone noticed the same thing with CU2? If so, any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

I see it successfully process in a normal amount of time in InventoryAgent.log. It is taking it's time from the MP to the primary. Right now, I have 1712 machines migrated and only 91 of them have processed hardware/software inventory and is
reflecting in the admin console on the primary site server since I started migrating Monday evening. Something is up or has changed with CU2. I never saw this much of a delay with CU1.

Digitizing Old Video Tapes I Can Figure Out Hardware is iMovie the Software

I have some old VHS tapes and some newer DV tapes.
I'd like to get convert all the old tapes so I can share digital copies with members of my family.
I think I can hook up a VCR to my DV camera and then hook that to my iMac. Failing that I'll buy some sort of converter.
Once I figure out the "hardware how?" I wonder about the "software what?" Is iMovie okay for me to work with? In what format do I store the files? bla bla bla. Right now I just want to get digital copies of all my videos; I'll edit files later.
I only want to do this conversion once and would hate to end up with a lower quality compressed file or something not compatible with editing when if I'd set things different I'd be better off if you get my drift.
I know there are many posts in these discussions about importing video -- if anyone can guide me through the advice or offer more insights I'd be grateful.
Thanks

I'd like to get convert all the old tapes so I can share digital copies
I have done lots of that.
I think I can hook up a VCR to my DV camera and then hook that to my iMac
Yes, that is one way.
Failing that I'll buy some sort of converter.
I Like the Grassvalley ADVC300.
I've played around with countless other conversion systems, ranging in price from $79 to $399. Short verison, this is the ONLY unit to own. No dropped frames at all, even with questionable quality tapes, no jitter, great color, excellent sound quality. Zero setup with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11.
This is a prosumer deck. The time code function is alone worth the price if you have old analog footage. Absolutely NO "Out Of Sync" audio.
ADVC300 is for anyone who wants to do editing and is concerned about quality of color and speed, for the novice it is an incredible gizmo that will restore VHS tapes to a state close to the original fixing midtones, highlights and shadows on the fly. Not only can you simply convert analog to digital you can actually manipulate the signal going in (if you want to).
A bit pricey but it WORKS.
I only want to do this conversion once and would hate to end up with a lower quality compressed file or something not compatible with editing when if I'd set things different I'd be better off if you get my drift.
I do get your drift.
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
iMovie 09/11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
If your primary workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie 09/11, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
Compared to today's standards DV Video's quality is not that great, so I don't want to lose ANYTHING in my conversion, I have no quality to "spare".
iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 is a "lossless" combination.

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, etc. Anybody at Apple listening?

10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.

I can not restore the software on my 3g I get almost all the way thru and get a fault of 1015

I can not restore the software on my 3g iphone. I get almost all the way thru the update and I get a fault of 1015. Does anyone know how to fix this

According to Apple documentation error 1015 is:
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state. Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.

TS1702 My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

We need clarification here.
Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software. iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher. Leopard is OSX 10.5.8. You have two alternatives right now. One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard. This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4. The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7. The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
Here is iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you want to try upgrading:
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory"). If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see. "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

PcAlert and all the software sucks!

All the software on the drivers CD doesn't work.
I tryed to install the software on the web site, but the problem persist (tasks with 99% of CPU usage and I can't close them).
I'm running a fresh installation of Windows XP with all the updates and service packs installed.
All the drivers of my hardware are updated too.

Any help is wellcome.

run a CD check (such as copy the files from CD to HDD) see if the CD is corrupted. If the CD is fine, then this has more things to do with your WinXP. Try a clean install without any peripherals, such as the SCSI, SBLive, Creative stuffs.. etc. then try the CD again.

I have Windows 7 Pro, 64Bit. Itunes works fine except I can't go to the ITunes store from in the software. It starts and then goes blank page. I have tried all the fixes and had a IT group working all day on this. Not fixed. Any suggestions?

Using I Pod NANO. Installed I Tunes on Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit.
Software works fine. Only problem is that I can't open up the
Store page from in the software. It just shows a blank screen.
Looks like it starts but then just freezes.
IT department worked all day. Reloaded software, set up
security, checked msconfig files. Tried all sorts or revissions.
Nothing works? Yet it works fine on my Windows 7 Home edition?
ANYONE have a clue. This Apple software is not the friendliest!!
This is very frustrating for something so simple to use!
This used to work. Upgraded to 10.3.3.. No good. Tried other revisions,
No Good! Can't purchase music or have the website fully pull up at all
from I Tunes.
Appreciate any help if some has been through this. My service that
I have for IT had to give up. 6 hours of things they tried. Nothing worked.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!
