U2 iPod phased out?

Has there been any word of a U2 edition of the classic or has it been phased out?

The U2 iPod was a special edition. Apple hasn't annouced any plans to release another one.

The new Macbooks and MacBook Pros - Firewire being phased out?

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
With the latest release of MacBooks and MacBook Pros, does it seem to anyone else that Firewire is being phased out? Even the new iPod Touch's cannot be charged via a Firewire cable.
(The first iPod Touch has a Firewire/ USB compatible dock).
I am somewhat baffled as a year ago Firewire was all the rage for Video Editing. It had a better reputation for sustained transfer of data and not dropping frames.
(Critical with video editing).
Also - the several miniDV cameras I've owned, including my current model, all transfer their data into a computer via a Firewire port.
I have three External Drives at the moment (mostly for Video Editing) and all work with either Firewire 400 or 800 (or both). None have a USB 2.0 port.
The new MacBooks don't even have a Firewire port.
The new 15" MacBook Pro has only a port for Firewire 800.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Should I begin shifting my external drives to USB 2.0 connectivity?
Even though USB 2.0's reputation for transferring Video is not very good?

When importing video from FireWire-based camcorders, the video is sent in real time to the computer, which is why FireWire is necessary. That's because FireWire-based devices use tape to record video (DV or HDV), which cannot be accessed in the same way as memory cards or hard drives (the camcorder can't rewind during capture).
With USB-based camcorders, this is no longer an issue, as the video is stored and transferred as a file, rather than a real-time stream.
Also - the several miniDV cameras I've owned, including my current model, all transfer their data into a computer via a Firewire port.
FireWire-based camcorders won't work with the new MacBooks (you won't be able to import your video without using another computer).
The new 15" MacBook Pro has only a port for Firewire 800.
And an ExpressCard slot, which can be used to add additional FireWire or eSATA ports if necessary.

Is QuickTime Pro being phased out and replaced by new quicktime player ?

Where are scrub bar edit points and what is happening to Pro version since the new Quicktim Player app?

Where are scrub bar edit points and what is happening to Pro version since the new Quicktim Player app?
I haven't seen all that many changes to QT 7 Pro since the introduction of Lion and the default turning off of legacy codecs. Since you use the term "scrub bar," I assume you are referring to the play progress bar and playhead control which can be used for scrubbing content, as well as, the setting of "in" and "out" editing points. As you can see by the image below, the bar and editing pointers are still available and functioning under Mavericks as they have been since the context adaptive change several years/systems ago.
In addition, for those who prefer it, the Jog Shuttle contol is still available in the QT 7 A/V control panel.
As to your original topic question, only Apple knows what its timetable may be for the final phasing out of the QT 7 Player/Pro Player software. And, while it is likely that it will eventually be replaced, I for one, can at least hope that this won't take place until such time as Apple has actually developed viable software with the same editing features and capabilities. However, at this time, QT 7 Pro remains compatible with Apple's choice of a long-term, highly scalable default system video compression format—MPEG-4 AVC. Since the handwriting was effectively "written on the wall" in 2005 when Apple chose to use this format on the iPod Classic 5th Gen mobile device, I began migrating to this format at that time. As a result, I have had little problem in terms of compatibility issues over the years. My only real regret is having to re-compress my files each time Apple increases maximum resolutions, efficiency, or adds options and, with the advent of 4K and Real 3D, expect this trend will continue in the future. But, at least for the present, my files remain dual compatible with both classic QT 7 and new QT X based apps, system features like QL, and all current mobile/remote viewing devices.

Is FireWire being phased out?

I too am disappointed that you can't synch the new iPod with FireWire (though I am told you can still charge the battery this way), since I don't have USB 2.0. Is this a general trend to phasing out Firewire? I would have loved to see a jump up to Firewire 800 on iPods!

Agreed, jeffdc
From the Ars Technica Vid-iPod "Vivisection" (Bottom of the second page)
<code>Most speculation concerning the lack of Firewire support in the new iPods center around the space needed to package the Firewire chipset within the device. Most people who seem to be in the know have said that the amount of board space needed to implement Firewire vastly outweighs a similar USB implementation. Eliminating Firewire altogether seems to have been one of the many tradeoffs Apple had to make to achieve a smaller and lighter device. This may not be much consolation to those users with old USB 1.1 ports, but for many Mac and Windows users, this change shouldn't affect them much.</code>
I think the digital video community would scream if FireWire went away.

Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

Nope. Both require iTunes on a computer to sync music from.
Unless the iPod is an iPod Touch and the music was bought from iTunes. In which case the Touch can simply go to the iTunes App, under Purchased and download the purchased songs for free.

My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. My old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out and will not activate. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer.

I now have a new computer and iPod and I have an iTunes account on my iPhone5. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer? Are they lost for good? I have no info about my old computer and old account.

HT201269 my pc crashed and i no longer have the music i used to have, how can i sync my ipod w/ out loosing all of my music. and also how do i update my ipod only has a partial version of ios4

My pc crashed and i no longer have the music i used to have, how can i sync my ipod w/ out loosing all of my music. and also how do i update my ipod only has a partial version of ios4

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. USe your backup copy to put everything on the new computer, then sync.

My ipod 4th gen gets wiped clean of music anytime I sync. it then only redownloads some of the music in the library and wont upload missing songs. They show on the ipod grayed out. How do I get this to stop? re-uploading takes 4 hours.

my ipod 4th gen gets wiped clean of music anytime I sync. it then only redownloads some of the music in the library and wont upload missing songs. They show on the ipod grayed out. How do I get this to stop? re-uploading takes 4 hours and is never completed. I only get some of the 6000+ songs I have. This started when I updated to IOS5 i think.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

ECC 5.0 version phased out for certificaiton

Hi Gurus
I had applied for direct certification for SD module to SAP. Since i was eligible my profile got approved by SAP and hence i was eligible to give that certification exam for ECC 5.0. I completed all the formalities like sending the DD, Required consent letter, supporting letter from company etc etc.
As per the policy i am suppose to give the exam within the 4 months after they receive the documents,
i received their confirmation of "documents received" on 14th Aug 2009.
So that means i can give the exam till 14th Dec 2009
When i mailed them today for some info regarding the exam they suddenly said that ECC 5.0 has been phased out from 18th sept 2009 and hence I am not allowed to appear for exam. I was prepared and wanted to give exam on 16th Oct as per their schedule. But now i can't. I requested them to allow me for ECC 6.0 which they are denying.
I am wondering what kind of policy they have.They didn't even intimate me that it has been phased out.Haven't I mail them today i wouldn't have even known that it has been phased out and i cannot give the exam.
Is there anything else i can do. I want to give my certification exam. I am thoroughly prepared and have invested lot of time in my preparation.
Please suggest what can be done
Looking forward for some positive inputs
Regards,
D Patel

Can anyone please suggest an alternative

AQ to be phased out and replaced by Weblogic JMS??

I work at a large company in Los Angeles and was recently in a meeting with our architecture team where i was trying to make a case for using AQ for some internal apps.
I had not used AQ in the past but found it very easy to set up and get running in a proof of concept test case.
However, in my meeting I was informed by our main architect that:
1) AQ was not an enterprise solution and had never been fully completed or vetted in production environments.
2) AQ queues "get stuck" when processing large numbers of messages.
3) Contacts at Oracle had told him that AQ is being phased out in the very near term in favor of JMS Queues in Weblogic.
Based on the above statements by our architecture group, our company has essentially disallowed any development on AQ.
Are these statements true?
Thanks.

Your architect is incorrect on multiple counts.
1. AQ is definitely in use as an enterprise solution in a wide variety of very larger "name" corporations.
2. So do insert statements. The statement has no meaning unless it has a context. Have this person state the hardware, operating system, database version, and metrics and present the numbers. Try to not to gloat when they can't. Everything has a limitation. But my bet is they have no idea what AQ's is.
3. Ask for the name and contact information for the person at Oracle that made that statement: It is preposterous on its face. AQ is a foundation technology in RAC, Streams, the Grid Control, and numerous other technologies. Oracle is not removing these technologies from the database any more than they are going to force all database customers to install middleware.
The only thing that should be removed is your architect for a lack of being honest with the team and management.
Feel free to have your management contact me directly at the university if they wish to have me confirm what I have written here.

How do I get my ipod nano out of deep discharge? I have stored it for over a year and it won't work without being plugged in

Hi pjlmserl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd suggest resetting your iPod nano, and if the issue persists, restoring it:

How to get an ipod touch out of recovery mode.

I want to get my iPod Touch out of recover mode and i don't know how I got into it.
All that happened was that my iPod Touch ran out of battery, so I plugged it into my MacBook and when it turned on I just got the Connect to iTunes screen.
I tried turning it off and then on again but to no effect.
I also tried holding down the Home and Power button until the apple logo shows up then release but that still did not work.
What should I do to get it out of recovery mode without restoring??

If re-starting the AMDS driver doesn't work, you can try removing iTunes and AMDS, then re-installing iTunes (which will re-install AMDS).
If that doesn't work, try putting the Touch into DFU mode. You kind of mentioned it above where you held the buttons down while connected to iTunes, but it didn't sound exactly correct and it can be a little tricky to get the timing down.
While having the Touch connected to the computer (and iTunes running) hold the Sleep and Home buttons until the Touch screen goes black (about 10 seconds). When that happens release only the Sleep button -- keep holding the Home button until iTunes says it found a device in recovery mode. At that point you release the Home button and will have to Restore the device, and you can try re-loading your last backup after the Restore process completes.

Can I still download iPod software updates?
Yes, assuming they're compatible with that iPod model. iOS 4 can't be used on the original iPod touch.
iPod is out of warranty.
This only affects how long Apple will freely provide technical support, repairs to, or replacement of the device.
