To buy one or not?

I have been thinking of switching from PC to mac... because I feel as if mac is better than PC...
because of less crashes and all types of reasons
but can someone tell me if they are really that good?
and if they are good for recording music *one thing I do all the time*
thanks ahead of time hopefully soon I can get away from PC's for good =D

You should, however, take into effect, that these
forums represent about 2% of the total number of Mac
users. That means only 2 % have a problem, and that
there is a slim to no chance that you get a defective
MB. Besides, if it's defective, just take it back,
and apple will give you a new one under warranty.
First, 2% is not a trival number. Even if only 2% of the shipping units have issues, it still represent a major manufacturing problem. 2% return rate will increase the cost siginificantly. Actually, in manufaturing, the defect rate should be in the range of thousands of DPM (defect per millium) for the system and for components, should be in hundreads. 2% means 20,000 DPM, Apple shuld not have shipped these products if the DPM rate at this rate. The only reason I can think of that Apple still shipped these units is for pumping up the stock price (or prevent it going down for missing the expectations).
Second, not everyone got a defect units comes here to complain, especially for those who bought it in store, they can just got it exchanged and go on with their life. Actually if I got my MacBook replaced/returned at first place, I would not come here to complain. [Sadly, after a visit to Apple store (they asked me to make an appointment to get it looked at) and numerous calls to customer service, Apple still refuses to get the defected MacBook back. So I ended asking my credit card company for help.] So the actual rate should be much higher than 2%, that mean the issue is actually even much more severe.
Again, STAY out of buying a MacBook now You actually will save money for Apple, but definitely will not help the stock price...
Being a PC user almost all my life till now, want to join the Mac club, but Apple is making it supper hard for me. Is it really too much to ask for a working new MacBook upon arrival?!

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)
Any advice ?

What is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include iOS 5 and iCloud or not

hallo guys
anybody can help me
my question is what is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include iOS 5 and iCloud or not
thanks in advance to answer me
Best regards

The warranty on an iPad, even a refurbished one, will still be valid in Egypt. It's only the iPhone that does not have an international warranty. Just make sure you don't buy a Verizon-model iPad, which cannot be serviced anywhere but in the US (and won't work with any other cell carrier either).
Note that refurbished iPads are available only via the online Apple Store, and they accept only US credit cards and will only ship to US addresses. This may not be a problem for you, but I wanted to make sure you were aware.
Regards.

Hi, Does anyone know if the Ipad 2 has hand writing recognition? I want to buy one for an aged parent who does not type. Thanks

Hi, Does anyone know if the Ipad 2 has hand writing recognition? I want to buy one for an aged parent who does not type. Thanks

There are apps that will do handwriting recognition, such as Writepad HD. However, I suspec that such an app would be even more of a challenge to an older person than trying to use a keyboard.

HT2292 I recently got a new ipod touch and the new one will not connect to itunes. I've done all the troubleshooting and now I'm just plain frustrated. With the new update my old ipod froze and best buy gave me a new one. What to do?

My ipod recenly froze with the last update. bestbuy gave me a replacement. the new one will not connect to the computer or itunes. i followed all the instructions and - nothing. It's frustrating enough as i lost all my notes and work, but now I can't connect to sync with itunes. i don't get it. i'm not a supertech so i don't know what to do. help!!!!!!

Thanks, Bob! You are correct. And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE). One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind. Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers. Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

Ok what is up with the iPhone 5, went to verizon today and they told me not to buy one

went to verizon store today to replace my iphone 4 with a 5 and they told me dont buy one they are really bad and you will be unhappy, what is up with that?

What's up is that the Verizon sales rep either doesn't know what he/she is talking about, has misinformation and has formed an incorrect opinion based on that, or quite possibily is getting a bonus or other pressure to sell other, less popular phones that they have too many of. Many millions of people are very happy with their iPhone 5s.

An extensive look at the Zen Vision:M for those considring buying one (plus my firmware wishli

 Well first, I want to say that this is the 0th mp3 player that I have owned. This is definitely the best and most powerful player I have ever owned. With that said, its not perfect either, hence the purpose of this review. As I did on this board with the Zen Micro, I write this review in hopes that Creative will listen. Hopefully, creative will read this and take it to heart.
SOUND QUALITY:
 This is what any music device should be about right? Nothing else matters if the sound quality stinks. I used to own Creative?s Zen Micro. The sound on it was great but the bass was lacking. The best sounding mp3 player I?ve ever owned was Iri'ver?s old H20. With its customizable SRS settings, it still stands out against all others I have encountered. If that Iri'ver was the best, I am happy to say that this little device is a very close second. Creative included a bass boost function, and paired with the customizable EQ settings, the sound is amazing. It knocks the micro out of the ballpark.
MENU NAVIGATION:
 The menu on this thing is very familiar to that of other Zen players, including the micro. That?s not a bad thing since the navigation system is the most popular among most mp3 players of this class. I used to own Phillip?s HDD 6330, and that player and the 5th generation iPod have something that the Vision:m lacks. I have all of my music specifically organized by genre. I would like to go into the genre folder, and select a song by title, not by artist, then title. On the 5G iPod, and the HDD6330, the first menu option when going into the genre folder in ?All Titles?. So, all you had to do was select genre / all titles and you had every song in your library from that genre. This player lacks that ability.
 I will give praise to Creative for its side alphabetical bar. This has made scrolling my library very much easier. This is a very innovati've feature to use. I also give them props for making the main menu customizable. If Creative will add that one thing, its menu system would be unmatched and close to perfection!!!
FEATURES:
 Creative has built a host of features in this thing as they do with a lot of their players. The FM radio is good and the voice recorder is good. Now lets get to the good stuff. The Vision:m actually lets you choose your own background. Not only that, but for the picture you do decide to use, its lets you edit its brightness and color tone. This feature definitely comes in handy. I selected a nice picture of me and my son at the town fair, and it was way to bright. The letters on the screen were hard to read no matter what theme I used. Upon selecting a picture to use as background, the player gives you the option to raise or lower its brightness and color tone. I lowered the brightness and changed the tone and now, the background looks great. Creative should have gone that extra mile and gave the player the ability randomly select a new background every day.
 Also, I am liking the content password feature that gives you the ability to hide video and picture folders. Basically, if I wanted to, I can create a folder on my Vision:m, put some porn in it (come on, that?s what this is really about), and on the player, set it the folder to ?protected?. On the players System settings, set the option to hide all protected folders to ?hide? and you are all set. To unhide the folders, go back into System Settings and select it. Upon selecting it, you will be prompted for the password. I also like the fact the Creative include a calendar and organizer into the player. It?s nice however unnecessary it may be.
USER INTERFACE:
 I have got to give creative its pro
ps.
Those who criticize Creative for copying iPod really have no idea what Creative has done! Its ergonomic design is the best I have seen since the iPod!!! It is designed for one handed thumb use. One of the problems with the micro and other players like it is the fact that its touch pad was too sensiti've and by simply holding the player, it was a good chance you would accidentally access a function, when the hold switch wasn?t on. The only thing that?s touch sensiti've here is the scroll pad. Creative brilliantly included two side buttons along the thumb pad, which you can easily press with your thumb. This is not copy-catting. This is innovation! Add to that, the other outside buttons that surround the thumb pad are NOT touch sensiti've. They are clickable buttons. The chances of accidental button pressing are greatly minimized. My only problem with the setup is that Creative foolishly assigned the scroll pad buttons to song skip access. That?s fine and dandy when you are in the ?Now playing screen?, but when navigating the menu, it'ss a slight discomfort. The side buttons would be extremely useful when navigating the menu system. Especially with one handed use.
VIDEO and PICTURES
 Well, the one feature that sets this player apart is its ability to play video right? Well, when I first got my player and through my content on it, I threw some videos (less porn) that were on my computer on the player. They played flawlessly with no video conversion necessary. They included a downloaded episode of ?BattleStar Galactica?, ?Boston Legal?, and ?Prison Break?. They all played beautifully. I don?t know if the player?s CPU can handle it, but I would love the ability to fast forward or scan through long video files a lot faster. Selecting ?Seek To? from the menu helps a lot, but its not fast enough. Also, I would like for Creative to add quicktime or .mov support if its possible (legally). My digital camera and cell phone records video clips in .mov format. I also have lots of trailers on my computer in quicktime format. It would be nice if I can simply drop some of the clips on the player without converting them first.
 The Pictures show great on this player. You can't scroll through them as quickly and as crisp as with the iPod but there is a reason for that. The ipod scales down and convert photos so they can be shown on the screen. The Creative doesn?t do that. Simply drop the picture on the device and it will be displayed. The benefit to this method is that the player allows you to zoom in on the photos which is a very nice feature and an adequate trade
In. It makes transferring pictures faster also. Add to that, you can switch the folder view and thumbnail picture view to vertical scroll. Speaking of which, where is the USB OTG? This would be a big plus if you had it.
 The AV out works great also. I don?t have a/v cables that connect to the player on hand but I did have red and black audio cables that would connect. I stuck the jack in about half way and connected the red on to the video in port on the TV and it worked. I still highly recommend purchasing the a/V cables for it.
PLAYER DESIGN:
 What can I say. So, it looks like the iPod. But should we really fault Creative for that? iRi'ver?s H300 was the first mp3 player to have support for photo?s. When the iPod photo debuted, you could very well have accused Apple of ?copying? iRi'ver. The only way this player copies the iPod is the fact the screen is the same size and dimension. Oh, and the controls are on the bottom. Kind of like the same way Apple ?copied? iRi'ver. I emphasize the word copy because both of theses players were in development at the same time. Creative released their player a short time after Apple. There is no way Creative could have thrown a player this functional and feature heavy together so quickly. The fact that the players look similar is mere coincidence. Other than that, like the 5G ipod, it'ss a beauty. The fact that the buttons glow gives it an extra coolness. I give creative props for its new interface which rocks and what I like to call?The Thumb Click? Oh, and Creative, the next time you release a player, you can keep the so called ?sync adapter?. I don?t like it one bit. Find a way to build the outlets into the player without compromising is size!!! Its just one more thing I have to keep up with.
SOFTWARE / COMPUTER INTERFACE:
The last time I dealt with Creative?s software is when I had the Micro. It was clunky but functional. I like what they have done this time around. Still the familiar software but more organized. My only problem is when syncing. I edited an id3 tag on my computer and synced the library again. The software failed to sync the song, listing it as an error. The only way to correct this was to delete the song from the player and re-sync it.
ZEN CAST ORGANIZER NOTE:
 Creative, I say this with the best intentions not to be taken the wrong way. You guys need to scrap the current beta software and go back to the drawing board. Do you guys even realize the potential you have with ZCO? First off, when using the sync organizer, it works, but it can't handle video. It is ridiculously slow when handling video. The syncing software in explorer works a lot better. And then ZCO doesn?t show all of the podcasts available on ZenCast. It brings up internet explorer. What you guys need to do, is go back to the drawing board and design software that expertly organizes my entire media library with extreme simplicity. Have a section for music, pictures, video, and zen/pod casts. The Music section can have the option of connecting to an online music store, the video section can have the option of connecting to an online video store, and the ZenCast, to to the Zencast website, where you can easily subscribe to any zencast without bringing up the browser.
 Lets say you guys strike a deal with?.say?..NBC. and NBC makes its episodes of ?Book of Daniel? available on the Zen video store. I should be able to purchase a season pass, and every time I sync my player, it will automatically download and/or sync the latest episode. The possibilities are endless!!!
BUGS:
I have only noticed two bugs with this player. It seems that the Vision:m has an obsessi've compulsi've need to display album art for every song played. Even songs with no album art associated with them. Since my library is organized by genre and not by album, the player simply picks another album art from the folder ad displays that art for a song with no album art. Creative please fix this because its annoying. Also, one almost unnoticeable bug. The ?song time? count at the bottom of the progress indicator in the ?Now Playing? screen seems to have a hard time counting seconds in some songs. Its too slow and eventually catches up. Then counts regularly, and speeds p again. At first I thought the problem was with VBR mp3?s but it does it with regular 28 kbit rates.
Overall Creative has built a very good player and is currently the best out there. I was a fan of the micro and am now A HUGE fan of this one. This player has yet to crash since I have had it, considering that the micro crashed 3 times by this point of my having one. In fact, this looks to be the most stable player I?ve owned as well. I want to personally thank the Creative development for making a player so superior to anything else out there and at such a competiti've price. I will stomp for your company and brand every chance I get. But You have to meet me half way. Outside the Geek world, your brand is barely recognized. You need to set up a huge base of operations in the US and heavily promote your brand. Not just in magazines and one or two city billboards, but on constant TV commercials, get some music artists on TV promoting your player. Come on guys, really show Apple that you are serious about taking them on. I realize that this costs money to do, but you have to spend money to make money right?
Below is my Firmware Wish List I prioritized them starting with the most important thing. Please try to get to some of these issues.
- fix album art bug
- make a main menu option for Zen cast. This shouldn?t be in the video folder.
- Add the ability to browse by title in the Genre folder.
- Add support for .mov format to video please.
- USB On the Go would be a nice addition as well
- Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
- SRS if possible. It sounds wonderful on other players.
- Make side scroll pad buttons to be used for navigating menu system.
- A small game or two wouldn?t hurt, but add more coolness to it.
Thank you for listening

wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review

Buy one application for two different Touches, slightly different details

Hi, I have a couple questions about applications and the touch, my brother and I are getting touches for our birthday and we don't know if we can buy one app and use it on both our players or not. Someone said if both are linked to the same account it's ok but our parents are going through a divorce so we'll likely be living apart...exactly how does it work? W euse the same account but we'll be on different computers so can we do that? Or will be have to have different accounts because we'll be living apart? We use one account and buy as many apps to use on both as we can before we move? If anyone knows and can list the steps we'd appreciate the help

If you bought an app once and synced it to two different IPT's you'd almost certainly be in breach of Apple's licensing terms. In any case I imagine their apps DRM would prevent you from doing so. You're probably going to have to get separate iTunes store accounts. The divorce shouldn't affect this, there's no reason both accounts can't be registered with the same credit card #.

How can i reset my app store setting? i have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first and that one is not going away

How can i reset my app store setting?
I have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first a few years ago and that one is not going away how do i change it to my own apple id?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID.

Best Buy Appliance Delivery Not Doing What They Said They Would Do. Order Cancelled.

I recently purchased a refrigerator from bestbuy.com and chose the option to have it delivered on Tuesday the second of December (today). I received an order confirmation e-mail from best buy on the day of purchase (November 28) which stated the following (taken directly from the e-mail):
The scheduled appointment date of your item(s) below is Tuesday, December 2, 2014
We'll call you by 9PM the night before your appointment with an estimated arrival time window at the phone number(s) you provided at the time of purchase (with either live or pre-recorded calls).
Thank you for shopping with us.
Sincerely,
Karalyn Sartor
Vice President Customer Care
Yesterday, on Monday the 1st of December, I got a knock on the door from the Best Buy delivery team. They had my refrigerator and were here to deliver it. I was not ready for them to deliver the refrigerator at that time, at all, as I was not expecting it. I asked the driver to please deliver it on the scheduled date. The change in scheduling happened without a postive notification.
I checked afterward and saw that their was en e-mail sent during the evening of November 30 informing me that the refrigerator would be delivered on Monday the 1st. This e-mail was in my spam folder and I did not see it. I did not expect it either as I was under the impression that I would be called by phone prior to delivery (as stated in the original purchase confirmation e-mail). So some mistake/change in scheduling happened. Not a big deal to me.
Thirty minutes ago I called the 1-888 number mentioned in the e-mail to inquire about what time I could expect my refrigerator to be delivered. I was told it was rescheduled for December 20th, which is not acceptable to me.
I was told the earliest delivery date that they could honor would be for monday the 8th of December. That is unacceptable to me as well. I was advised I had no other options for delivery other than to receive it on the 8th of December, 6 days after the aggreed upon delivery date.
In the end I cancelled the order. As a customer I do not like to be treated this way (to be told one thing at first (delivery date and that I would be called by phone), to have that one thing change, and to not be told in a *reasonable* manner that the one thing had changed.
Best Buy customer service, If you would like to contact me you have my e-mail address. You also have my correct phone number for calling me, which your system verified when it looked up my order by phone. Until then, please consider me an unsatisfied customer that will look very closely at other buying options for all my future appliance and home electronics needs.
Thank You.
P.S. - The person I spoke to on the phone to inquire about and cancel my order was very courteous and professional.

To Whom It May Concern,
I posted earlier regarding a refrigerator delivery problem. http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Delivery-Installation/Best-Buy-Appliance-Delivery-Not-Doing-What-They-S...
I've since read a few of the other posts and think I see some common issues that many others have been having:
1. Not calling the customer. We (customers) expect someone will call us the day before a scheduled delivery date to confirm the item is being delivered and approximately what time to expect it. The confirmation e-mail you send even states that this will happen.
2. Not notifying the customer regarding changes. We (customers) expect someone will notify us if delivery dates are changed. This is especially important if the delivery date has been moved forward, as in my case. My particular problem would have been avoided entirely if someone from Best Buy would have notified me that the refrigerator I ordered would arrive one day ahead of schedule. An e-mail is not a good enough notification when you move the shipping date forward. How do you even know I have read/received it and will be home?
3. Not working with the customer. I've read a few forum posts where some mistake has happened, and now shipping is delayed by a signifcant amount of time (a week or more). If you (Best Buy) had some better way of working with whoever does your delivery for you, things would be better.
In my example the original delivery date was for today (Dec 2nd). You decided to deliver a day early on the 1st without making sure I knew you were coming on a differnet day than scheduled. So I wasn't ready. At this point I believe you (Best Buy) should have tried to correct this by rescheduling the delivery so that it happened on the original delivery date, December 2nd. You could have also arranged to deliver it later that same day, I would have been ok with that and had time to make things ready. Instead the delivery got rescheduled for the 20th of December by the system, and your customer service could only move it up to December 8. In a situation like this I think it would be better if you worked more with the customer (pay a driver an hour or two of overtime to get the goods delivered on the day you said you would or delay someone else who placed their order after I placed mine). Instead I was given one and only option, delivery on December 8.
In the end I took the other option, cancelling my order. You have lost my business on this sale and I now have a lower opinion of Best Buy as a company and a brand than I did before. This could have been avoided if you did any of the above three things.
Thank you for your time.

The Time To Buy iPad, Or Not?

Hey everyone,
I have been thinking about buying the iPad ever since it came out and to this date have not been able to. I have the money, but is now the time to spend it on that 9.7" beauty? I would like to use it for web surfing, email, apps(of course), and I would also like to pick up on the reading for the rest of high school. This is the time for me, I need to decide in the very, very near future. I need two burning questions answered though, is it the right time to buy? Also, Which one to get? As far as which one to get, I plan to use this mostly around home and of course whenever I travel. I think that as far as videos go, I would be putting a few on when I take some trips then take them off if I find myself not viewing them often. I would always have my computer relatively close though, so I would be able to get content on and off quick.
Merging into the next question, I would only get the 32GB if I would have it for a while. If the next one would have killer features then maybe I should wait off for the next generation. The feature that I think is guaranteed is a front facing video camera, I don't think that I have a huge need with that. I have my MacBook Pro for most of the stuff like that. I don't know how much I would desperately need the speed bump that could also surface next spring, because, like I said I have a laptop that I do a good amount on. Or do I not need one at this time? I am a big fanboy so this product is in my mind a great buy.
I need some help here, just tell me what you think. Anyone who has been in the same situation or is in it themselves, feel free to chime in.
Thanks for any help.
SIDE NOTE!!!!!: If anyone has some thoughts about refurb iPads coming up, tell me as well. I don't think they are coming since it has been a while.

I just got my 32gb 3G iPad about a week ago for my bday and I'm absolutely loving it. I was planning on buying one myself but was saving up for it. Anyway since it had been a few months since it came out I thought to myself that if I waited this long couldn't I just wait till the 2nd gen but I decided that I still wanted it. Also I figured if the 2nd gen came out and if it had some feature that I just couldn't live without that I could probably sell my 1st gen iPad for a good amount. I've owned every version of the iPhone (except the 3Gs) and I've always been able to resell them for a good price.
The reason I wanted the 3G was in case I wanted to use my iPad somewhere wifi wasn't available. But so far I haven't had to activate the 3G service.
The other thing I love about my iPad is that it really is useful. I've only used my laptop to add movies to my iPad Undoubtedly when school begins I'll need to laptop for writing papers and such. But otherwise my iPad is perfect for carrying around and using everywhere. Until the iPad I was considering buying a new MacBook Pro 13" because my 15" (almost 3yrs old) was just to heavy and cumbersome and I didn't like carting it around, even in the house (4 floors).
Anyways the point of this rambling is if you want an iPad go ahead and get it now.

Do you ever buy one person out of a family plan?

I am having major problems with my phone while living in La Crosse. I am originally from Marshfield, and am currently in a contract with Cellcom. Do you ever buy one person out of a family contract??

I am originally from Marshfield, WI (54449) but I am attending college in La Crosse (54601). I have pretty good service, but my phone is constantly roaming because Cellcom, which is my provider, does not have towers in this area. I occasionally don't receive phone calls, and a lot of the time have delayed text messages. Its super frustrating. I am using a samsung galaxy s4. I am currently running off of U.S. Cellular phone towers. I do also know that you guys are the best providers coverage wise for this area here in La Crosse. I just do not really want to have any issues considering the fact that I am away from home. If there is anything you can do for me please let me know!
Thank you

To buy one or not?
