Torrent? wait...what?

wat the heck is a torrent? ive heard about it. free downloads or something like p2p. it cant possibly be legal right?
can some one explain this to me... i no its not really an iTunes question but it kinda relates to it because its about downloading music...
im sure someone out there has heard bout it and has something to say...

bit torrent is a method of downloading. If several people are downloading a file from a server, each one downloads a different part of the file, and then they pick up the other parts from each other. It's not p2p, but a way to distribute downloading and reduce bandwidth requirements of the server.
You need a bittorrent client - the program that enables you to download. get the application here:
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/BitTorrentfor_Mac_OSX/1064520206/3
Then, you'll need to find a directory of .torrent files. I think there are probably many, but here's a good start place:
http://www.mininova.org/
You look through the directory, find what you want, and download a small file that you drag into bittorrent, press 'start' and away you go.
After you download, you can drag the file into iTunes or whatever program you wish to play it. Be mindful that there are several formats here, so best to start with files that say 'ipod' or mp4. If you have quicktime pro, you can download other types and convert them.
The concept here is that people are sharing the load of downloading a file. If you are downloading, but not allowing people to get the pieces of the file that you have, you're a "leecher" and you have very low priority in getting files, meaning they will take forever.
If you are in a network that has different internal addresses than it shows to the outside (NAT addressing) such as the Airport Extreme base station, you may need to configure the base station to open outside ports to your specific machine. That is, if your base station has the internal address of 10.0.1.1 and your puter is at 10.0.1.7, then you will need to tell the base station to forward port 6881 to internal IP address 10.0.1.7 If you don't, when the 'peers' coome looking for pieces of a download, your base station won't know which computer they are looking for and refuse the connection, which will make you a 'leecher'.

I'm trying to download Lion, but it says it's waiting what do I do?

I had several attempts, and finally left it over night. There seems to be no on-screen notification of what is going on, so one is blind. Eventually I went to iTunes App Shop, which told me that it had downloaded. I found an installation window (I don't know how) and started the installation, but it stopped; this happened twice. Finally it was installed and I was instructed to restart the machine.
It seems that everythings is undercover now! We just need a bit more patience and a lot more faith.

When an app is downloaded to an IPAD and it says waiting, what does that mean?

When an app is downloaded to an IPAD and below the icon it says waiting, what does that mean?

Try this.
Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it shouild resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.

I am trying to download an app for an hour now and it still says waiting what do I do?

I am trying to download an app and it says waiting now for an hour what do I do

Check iTunes and see if you have a pending or stalled download in there. If you do, finish that download or delete it if you can. If you can't finish or delete the download on the iPad, do it in iTunes on your computer and then sync the iPad. Then go back to the apps and see if they will download.
If that doesn't work or if that was not the problem, go to Settings>Store >Apple ID, tap your ID and sign out. Then reboot the iPad, Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Then go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if the apps will update.

HT1430 Apps are stuck waiting, what do I do

All my apps state that they are waiting.
What do I do to clear this up?

Hello MJHof,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the apps that are stuck on waiting.
I recommend tapping on the app to change the status to Paused and tapping once more to initiate the download of the app as suggested in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.

R.I.P. Sync Services, hello ...eh wait what to use now??

Hello everybody,
silently SyncServices have disappeared in OS X Lion. What kind of options to we have now to synchronize? I'm currently working on an application that makes use of contacts and keeps them in sync via sync services. Right now it still works, but as sync services have disappeared, it seems like it is not much future proof at all. After a few hours of searching around, I couldn't find anything related to it, so my questions is, what to do now? What options do we have to keep our applications in sync with contacts, safari bookmarks etc. ...

Yeah, the writing has been on the wall for SyncServices for sometime. What I'm saying is, its not disappeared yet.
MobileMe calendar syncing switched from SyncServices to the open CalDAV protocol some time ago. Although MobileMe still uses SyncServices for contact syncing, I'm assuming that when MobileMe is finally switched off in June 2012, by then iCloud will be using (most likely) CardDAV for contact syncing. Presumably Safari Bookmarks will sync using one of the aforementioned iCloud APIs.
With regard to your application specifically, you might find more relevant discussions in the public Developer Forum, or the developer-only DevForums.

My apps trying download say waiting what can I do

When downloading apps I have them stacked with waiting message insure if I can delete and start again any advice

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.

Epsxe has been updated... wait what?

For a while they looked like the DNF of emulators; always claiming they were active while not releasing any sort of info for the last 4 1/2 years. While the Linux version isn't available yet, the very concept of them having a pulse caught my attention.
Fun fact, if you look at the rate and (negative) acceleration of their last couple releases, the next projected release should happen sometime around June 2020.

It feels like I grew up with epsxe. It's funny to see how one newspost is from 2003 and the next one is from 2008. On the other hand my mindset is, if you don't have time to develop epsxe any further let others do it and open up the source. They could have at least posted a status update in all these years.

This device isn't eligible for the requested build. - wait, what...?!

I just recently replaced my iPhone 3GS with a new iPhone 3GS after I had the first one stolen. But I haven't been able to update the software, and I have had it for about two months now. Whenever I try I get the following error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build". So I contacted my carrier thinking something was wrong with the phone they sent me, and was told to uninstall and then reinstall my iTunes, and that might work. So I tried. No success, since I have a MacBook (from 2010) it comes with iTunes which can't just be uninstalled. I did however update my OS to Lion, and have also udated iTunes to the newest version available. I don't see there is much else I can do, but I still get the same error message whenever I try to update my iPhone. I should also say that everytime I plug in my phone to sync with iTunes, the new update available window pops up, so there should be an update available for my iPhone.
Thanks for any help you could provide me with.

What is exactly wait (ms) though I understand its definition?

Hi What is exactly wait(ms)? and how does it work? When I tried to test it and the value is not correct.
See the pic below.

software timing at it's best. the OS is not deterministic. So it waits what is 'about' that amount of time. If you need more precise timing, there are other avenues...
By the way. You said that the values are incorrect, but did not disclose what the final time number was... so out of curiosity, what was it?

Read this after press conference, what do you think?

Okay here's the deal. Apple had a press conference today, and they have thoroughly addressed the antenna issues or apparently lack of with the iPhone 4, now dubbed as "antennagate".
Now, I will just throw a "light" breakdown of thoughts on this and also leave the live blog provided by Endgaget down below for you to read for yourself.
So apple changes the design of the iPhone. It's beautiful. It's suppose to run better and perform better than previous models. But wait, what's this?
An antenna on the outside of a phone? Wow!
Guess What?
Now, people know exactly where the antenna has been placed and can visibly see and can physically touch it on the outside of the phone. They are now aware of it more than with any other phone and can manipulate it by covering it up with their big meaty, greasy, stinky, sweaty, hands.
Or clean, manicured, dainty hands.
So they do, as they should be able too.
Then they watch the signal drop!
Oh no!
You see, with other phones, internal antennas have never really been in the publics "eye" and has escaped the general public knowledge of how cell phones work and can be affected by holding or covering up the antenna area.
Apple created the first (that I've known of) external antenna that is located in the same place an internal antennas. Therefore causing you to actually grip it while in use.
What does this mean? Does it actually hurt it's signal more than internal antennas? Has Apple done their homework?
Ultimately it seems they have. As you should and would expect a multi Billion dollar company who is considered the world over as the best technology company out there. Why wouldn't they?
So what's the problem?
Now I think this report basically says (with out Apple outing their business partner AT&T) that the main issues are within the signal provider, area signal strength. Then there is fact that they basically but a big "X marks the spot" or "cover this up with your hand to make signal worse" area on the phone made aware to everyone when they had their keynote stating that the frame was doubled as an atenna.
The media doesn't' help either. As new customers are made and switch over from other companies such as Verizon for the iphone 4, then they come home to read or see this "antennagate" on you tube, they begin to attribute all their AT&T issues (dropped calls) to the design of the iPhone 4. Yet, studies, actual scientific studies have shown to have better reliability than older models of the iphone.
Here I think Apple proves this, and one must read between the lines on what they can and cannot say about the business and their relationship with AT&T.
But, I think they have proven the point they have a great phone for making calls. They have done their homework and yet still had to answer to this media sensation. They had to make some remedy despite that all the testing and statistics about the iphone 4's performance states that there is no antenna issue. That it isn't significantly much different than any other antenna placed out in todays current cell phone market.
Not to mention the sheep, and Apple haters or competitors who join the fray.
Does Apple have sheep followers? Sure. But they also have people who for whatever personal or business reasons despise them.
But, the sheep I refer too, are the people who just hear of, or read one report on this "antenna gate", and do no research for themselves to actually understand the issue or intelligently assess their problems with phone properly. Then they start to raise **** over something that may actually not an issue.
For example, many people have complained tirelessly over this "death grip" and how they drop calls all the time, only to find out that the whole time it must have been AT&T dropping them because they have been using a bluetooth device or a case around the phone which prevents this issue from coming from the antenna
Sheep.
The decision to apply and antenna icon on every phone in the cellular market was made to let consumers rate or judge their signal strength and calling area. 1 bar doesn't mean a call cant be made. just as 5 bars doesn't mean "superduper great signal you'll never drop a call ever ever".
Many specialists believe that the cell phone market should drop this antenna signal strength meter, because of its subjective nature, and tthe fact hat it doesn't actually work like a "gas tank meter" in a car, nor functions like one.
Anyone who's ever studied this "signal meter" knows that you can go from full 5 bars to no bars in less than a microsecond with no feasible reason, on any network. It's not about, "my network never drops calls" it's about consistency.
So why mislead consumers? Why not just have a green light, red light?
Back to Apple's choices.
They had to do something, had too. No matter what tests show, statistics, fanboys, haters, or competitors. They had too, without slapping AT&T in the face.
Enter the Press Conference.
Below is the blow by blow.
In the end I feel a bit sorry for how things turned out. Apple looses millions on basically an issue that every company, and carrier has. Block the antenna, loose some signal.
Call it what you want but they are giving away free cases that costs millions of dollars to Apple, unnecessarily just to cool this thing down.
To all those who complain I say try this. Just use your phone naturally, don't try to "death Grip" the mother. Just use it and if you get dropped calls, try a case or bluetooth, or a headset, and if you get dropped calls, be open to the fact that it's probable AT&T, or just the nature of cellphones. Not an antenna issue that Nokia, Sony, Apple, Motorola, HTC, Samsung and every other maker faces . . . despite what they say.
Apple loses, because they currently are considered to be the king of the hill in the smart phone market (and others for that matter) and they told everyone "HEY! EVERYONE! Our antenna is on the outside, and it's right 'X' here!"
They Still apologized and gave away millions to make any and everyone happy.
Had their been and actual Hardware defect, I would have said RECALL. As things sit I think Apple handled things correctly. Had you anyone asked me earlier in the week, I would have scoffed at the idea of a bumper fix. But it's not a fix, there is nothing to fix, it's an act of good faith.
Maybe it's also a way to get more cases out their so when September rolls around they can have a better call drop ratio to the 3GS.
After the meeting I couldnt help but think, had I made something that wasn't broken, and people said I'd have to try and fix it, I think that all you would have seen from me would've been the middle finger.
It's a ish snow ball thrown down hill, and Apple is saying sorry you got hit on the way down but we didn't' toss it.
Here's something for your trouble.
Remember you can return it, and Apple is having a "case is sill open" approach and will continue to work on it. As for now, it appears that they really is nothing wrong with your antenna on your iPhone 4.
Maybe you should start to smile, or go to Verizon?

Hello everybody.
I am a would-be Iphone 4 user, which will now surely not become one.
I did read all the fuss about the antenna, and I did watch the conference, and here is what I think.
Saying that, even with the issues, “it is still useable”, is in my opinion ridiculous.
Guys, we’re talking about a 650 € mobile here.
The Iphone 4 is a top of the line phone. It’s not a 29 € mobile bought at a supermarket.
And if a 29 € can work as a phone perfectly, I expect that a mobile that costs 20 times that, can at least give me the same functionality that the cheap one gives.
Yes, the Iphone offers so much more, and that’s the reason why I wanted to buy it (so I am not an Apple naysayer, in fact I really wanted to buy an Iphone, and even defended it in front of friends in discussions), but really I need it first and foremost for work, and I NEED to be able to receive and make phone calls, and can’t afford to have dropped calls in bad reception areas.
This is an issue ALL smartphones have? To be sincere, I highly doubt that.
But even if it were, then I would go on with my non-smartphone mobile, until this thing is solved, because seriously, I think before adding in all kinds of gadgets and whatsoever, making sure you can use a phone to make phone calls everywhere without dropping calls should be the priority number 1.
There is no possible hardware solution? Now, I am not an expert, but if you look at the pictures of the antenna, and without making any particularly intelligent change… why not just rotate the antenna position 180°? So that the black band is on the top right, where nobody holds it, rather than on the bottom left, where most people hold it? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist in my opinion.
What I think is that we WILL see a hardware solution, in my opinion Apple already knows what needs to be done. But you can’t just change production from one day to the next. Apple has a lot of phones ready yet, and lots are being built, that it can’t just throw away.
So, until 30 September (or until these models will be dispatched) we’ll get this model with a bumper.
When the stock will be over, we’ll get a new model with the magical fix.
Until then… +“if you don’t want an Iphone 4 – don’t buy it”.+
Smart suggestion mr. Jobs gave, I’ll follow it.
Have a nice day.

What is the best product for me?

Next year I will be a college student and want an apple product that can be my notebook. I currently use OneNote on a Toshiba tablet, but want to upgrade to apple. I know that apple does not make a tablet, but I figured I could get an ipad with a stylus for when I need to write things like math. I could also get one of those attachable keyboards for essays and such. Does this sound like a logical system for a college student? Can OneNote even be downloaded on an iPad? I've seen the styluses and they seem a bit weird, with a round rubber tip. It seems as though that isn't very efficient for writing as you wouldn't know exactly where what you draw would show up, am I right about that? If I am, I guess I would just get a normal Macbook and simply use paper for math class. Please let me know what you think would be the best system for me. Thank you!
