Well done Apple...

Ok, have to admit I was sceptical that Apple would deliver rentals to the UK this side of Christmas, but things are looking up.
Missed the 'news' earlier today having been at the local hi-fi shop to see some new high-end equipment demoed - I took my AppleTV with me on the off-chance I might be able to compare it with the new £4,000 hard drive based music/CD player but decided it wouldn't have been received well had I suggested an a) vs b) comparison!
Suspect Winston and Chenks are downloading movies - AppleTV (with 2.02) is in the car boot - don't think I can be bothered to try the rentals at this hour.
Of course, all we need now is to see a price drop to about £130 in line with what happened in the US when rentals were announced.
I'm quite excited by this - the future really is in on demand viewing not archaic physical media like BluRay.

I think they did a good job too. I'm happy that:
iTunes Playlist Folders now show up on the Apple TV. Before, they were just all combined into one massive list.
iPhoto '08 Events now work with the Apple TV. Before, it would only show iPhoto Albums and Smart Albums.
YouTube Subscriptions show up on the Apple TV. This is really useful as it enables you to navigate all the video content of one user very easily.

Well done, Apple! Spotlight is flying after 10.4.6!

Since 10.4.5, Spotlight was considerably slow to start searching things.
After this morning update, Spotlight took off and is flying really fast.
Well done, Apple!

Please re-Update using the downloaded Combination updater. (Apple downloads)
If that doesn't help, the only other thing I can recommend is to resinstall OS X using the archive & install option in the installer.

Custom MBP Delivery ... Well done Apple!!

It's nice to be able to thank a manufacturer-supplier nowadays.
I ordered my custom anti-glare 17inch MBP last Monday 17th ... I got the usual 1-3 day shipping notice, so I opted for free shipping with outside estimate on the 25th. However the MBP did not ship until the 21st from Shanghai - with a delivery of the 27th - the date I am leaving on a film shoot and needed the MBP.
So I called Apple on Friday with my problem to see if they can move it along? My MBP is on the delivery truck in my hometown as I write this - will be here any moment.
Well done Apple!

Hi,
Have your email.
I played the sound in Mail and it used Quicktime to do so and I do not think the sound was particularly loud. Obviously Play back was at Output Volume that I had set.
I then put it in my Home folder/Library/Sounds and selected it in iChat.
It did seem to be louder or at least more piercing than my Regular one for Video Invites when used as a Test sound in iChat itself (As you Describe)
Now something very strange then happens - when I invited my self to an Audio Chat (I set it as the Audio Invite Alert).
It does not play. My computer gives me it's standard "bonk" noise that I have set as the entry Error sound.
I have Quicktime Pro and have tried Exporting it and Extracting it as well as changing the settings to 8 bit rather than 16 bit and to Mono rather than Stereo but I still can not get it to play in iChat when it is supposed to be the Alert (Again just as you describe)
I have even tried though iMovie HD
At this stage I am at a loss as to why your sound file is behaving differently to all the rest of mine.
I will send you one of mine and see if you can find the difference.
It is not .aiff but I have others that are.
The only thing I can spot is the sample 16 bit integer versus 8 bit integer

Good work on the iPhone - job well done Apple.

For a first run G1 do it all Phone/computer -- you have really built an amazingly good interface that just works and works well.
I don't know who runs your human interface group, but I for one would like to meet the person/group and just thank them. I've never worked on a interface that just flows so well -- and the zoom in/out control and positioning is flawless!
Bravo! Take a bow.
Rob.

As my preacher is oft to say: Now is good time to say, AMEN!
Bravo Indeed!
A hearty and heartfelt thank you to all at Apple for this wonderful piece of technology!

Well Done, Apple! iTunes 11 is Gorgeous!!

iTunes 11 is one of the most beautiful pieces of software that Apple has ever released!
I also find it to be incredibly functional!
Beauty and function is a hard combo to get right sometimes!! So grateful!!!

Apple does not read feedback here. You should use http://apple.com/feedback/ if you want them to read it.

Photoshop Photography Program - Well Done !!

I’ve been a Lightroom user for a few years now and found that as the applications matures, probably 90% of image manipulation can be done within that programme. The other 10% either got ignored or fudged. I’ve had a Photoshop CC single membership since early last year and that’s where the 10% gap was filled. Indeed I don’t believe there is anything can touch PS CC in terms of sheer power and flexibility.
However the monthly fee for the 10% when need was stretching it a bit, until now. I didn’t qualify for the PPP when it was first introduced, as I hadn’t a previous history with PS. However now the barriers have been dropped and anyone can get Lightroom and Photoshop for [UK] £8.78 a month. Well what can I say? It’s the cost of two Cappuccinos and a cookie a month. Simply superb.
You’ve listened Adobe – well done indeed.

Well for now Herbert2001, my subscription has just come down approx 48% and I no longer need to buy Lightroom updates. No brainer really.
Actually, do you honestly think that the company would be daft enough to increase membership charges in such a way and infuriate its subscribers? The bigger the company, the more protective it becomes of its brand image, this is basic commercial logic. It simply can't afford to damage its reputation in the market place, hence the reintroduction of the PPP to a wider audience I suspect.
Yours, still very upbeat.

I m staying at Mumbai and one of the very well known apple ipod's reseller is offering me ipod nano 7G without bill at little cheap rate. So I want to know that if I will make a purchase from there then am I eligible for APPLE'S one year limited warranty?

The warranty for ipod nano in india is here:

Im not really sure but some resellers have their own warranty.
If the iPod is brand new, it should have the apple one year limited warranty
hope it helps

Congratulation to the Logic-Pro Team, job well done!

If BlayZay say's Logic has past, then for sure it has past with flying colours and i'll no longer say Logic !!
as i have done in the pass because of how tedious things was in the previous version, and again in being a bit disappointed with the release of things broken in L.P. 8 at the first state of its release,
8.0.1. update Logic-Pro has made massive change, compare to just L.P. 8.
Right now I'm flying with my workflow and thanks Guys and girls wishing you all a happy holiday!
Best of all my Controller now works.
Fr.BlayZay.

The Zoom on the Logic Mackie Controller doesn't work but as far as just getting to use this controller its okay for now.
Logic-Pro is a big apps so they need to take as much time in getting it right therefore i won't rush the developers, but to thank them in the changes that they have made, and will be making.
They need to be credited, not just told when all is bad i believe in them and think Logic-Pro 8 is by far the best Logic i have seen or the best Daw on Planet-Earth,
even though Digi-Design has show how dangerous they are with Audio, in Streching and quick Automation, and for the price its a Dream come though, not to mention the way Symphony-Card integrates with Mac and Apogee.
Oh! i wish i could just plug my Delta-Card in Symphony like the Rosetta 800.
Logic-Team Well-Done!
Fr.BlayZay.

Well Done BT

A lot of people knock BT on these forums but credit where credit is due.
I got home Thursday night to find the electric had been off & we had no phone, no broadband & no vision. EON had dug up the pavement in front of my house to repair a electrical fault at a house down the road & cut through the BT cable to mine & next doors.
I called to report the fault at 5.30pm on Thursday & was told they would try to repair it by Tuesday thinking great EON will fill the hole a BT will come out & say we need to dig up the pavement & it will take ages but BT came round Friday afternoon & it was fixed within 45 minutes.
Well done BT

How would you like your G5? well done or over easy?

I was working on my G5 today, left for a couple of minutes. When I got back, the computer was OFF and there was a SMELL in the air like "Baked Capacitor" or melted plastic. Of course I unplugged everything - next I will take it to the shop. It was not overheated or anything to the touch so I suspect a capacitor (but not certian) how can one prevent this? the machine ran well for about 3 years so I guess I cant complain except that it was out of warranty by only a few months! it was protected by surge protector (which still works fine) so I can't say it was a power surge. In fact Im sending this message via PC which is pluged into the same surge protector that the G5 was.

Hi M-323,
I think it would probably be best to have someone look at it before you lay out any cash, just to confirm that it is the power supply and maybe not something cheaper or more expensive to fix.
Luckily you should be able to find out about that for free if you make an appointment and then take it to your nearest Apple "Genius" , which unluckily for you is some distance away. But if I were you I would make one attempt anyway, that should be all that is required.
When I took my G5 in to an Apple Store which was also in a large mall, I called ahead to make the appt. and also asked them if they had a cart or something that I could use once I got there. They did, and even though it was still a pain to lug around it made things much easier. These things are awkward and heavy. Afterward they let me use the cart as well to take it to my car. You might want to see about something like this. And because they go by appt. times you'll know when to be there.
In my opinion, from what I've gathered from these discussion pages, the 3 year mark is a critical time for a G5, so I think in all likelihood something just wore out. I'm hoping, and I have no reason to think otherwise, that your problem involves only your power supply and nothing else. Quite a few people have had their logic boards go a little after 3 years, or their processors. Those are a horrendous expense to fix. With a power supply I'm pretty sure it shouldn't top $300 to replace. Yeah, that's expensive, but a logic board replaced goes for well over a thousand.
So to sum up, what I would do in your place is to take it in and get it confirmed that it is indeed the power supply and nothing else. I would ask them for their estimate to fix it and then take it home again, unless money is not too much an issue.
Once I got it home I would go looking for a used power supply on the internet. Used ones can really be as good as new ones, they're not real complicated devices, they work or they don't. Once I found a power supply I would buy it and install it myself or let an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repairer put it in for me. Probably the latter though I know of many people who've done it themselves.
Here are just a few places I've found that deal in used Mac parts:
http://www.mac-pro.com/
http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-Parts-c-3987_238.html
http://www.usedmac.com/
http://www.secondhandmac.com/
And there are more out there. Plus I bet ebay is a good place to find mac parts too.
Good luck, M-323. Post back to say how things are going or if you have any other thoughts or questions. Have a good Holiday Season

HT1551 Can apple please answer the persistent question on why Hulu services, personal video via airplay, Netflix, suddenly stops working, and yet all along it has been working well on Apple TV? This is in contrast to YouTube, which is working without a fl

Hulu, Netflix and my personal videos have been working fairly well on appletv. Suddenly, without warning, they have all failed. My subscription via my apple ID is on automatic renewal, so the issue of non-paid services does not arise. On the other hand, YouTube is working perfectly well on appleTV.
Several solutions offered in the discussion group such as setting the appletv on sleep mode are not technical solutions. Rather, these solutions offered remind me of analogue age, when one had to hit the side of a TV set when reception failed.
In my case, I am using the same HD TV set that has been working all along. A new cable has failed, but if I am told to pay for an advice related to a fault that is not mine, I would rather buy a set box that is void of appletv or apple.
Apple please give a clear, well defined technical solution on the problem with your device, and to be specific on the following error:
"This content requires HDCP for playback"
I know what HDCP is, and one cannot say that this is related to a dynamic code that evolves with time, failing at a time of its convinience.

It is considered rude to double post on a fourm.

IPhone.... well ALL APPLE PRODUCTS... missing memory (8GB iPhone)

have you ever had a iPod, and noticed it had less memory than you payed for?? go to "about" on any apple product wiith storage, and i gaurentee that it has less than it claims. my 4G nano has 3.6 GB, my 8GB iphone has 7.3 GB (if you have a MAC mini than i gaurentee there is at least 2GB missing. tell me, why does apple do this?? for the operating system? it shouldnt be that way if iPhone takes .7 GB to function then they should really make a 8.7GB model and hide the .7GB ..........

nick0HHHlass,
There is two things at work here. One, is the difference between 1000, and 1024, carried out to several factors, as well as space needed for the software for the computer or the iPhone. This article discusses it, as well as my own explanation below:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30065
So first off, an 8GB iPhone has flash storage memory with at 8,000,000,000 bytes. When the drive is labeled, that is rounded off to 8GB because when labeled they use 1000 bytes per kilobyte, and 1000 kilobytes per megabyte, and 1000 megabytes for gigabyte. However, when a computer looks at a device it looks at it by powers of 2. This applies to any storage drive whether its intended for a Mac, PC, server, iPod, etc.
A computer divides the 8,000,000,000 bytes by 1024 to get kilobytes, then by 1024 to get megabytes, and then by 1024 to get gigabytes. So that it is reported at around 7.5 GB. Then from that there is space used for the software to run your iPhone. This is the same with any computer. Look at the hard drive properties (Windows-based PC) or Get Info (Mac). Disk utility gives more information than get info. For example the iMac I am using has a drive with 160,041,885,696 Bytes, but after formatting it is reported as 148.9 GB (159,907,630,080 Bytes). This article contains the same information in regards to iPod drives:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60955
Second, more is space is lost for the data needed "format" or organize the drive. The space used for the formatting becomes less efficient as the drive gets larger, so its not a set percentage. This article discusses efficiency in formatting as drive sizes get bigger:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=8647
Additional space is used for the iPhone's own software. This is the same with any computer.
Other things that may take up additional space, pre-installed software beyond the OS on a computer typically ranges between 5-25 GB currently. In addition some Windows-based PCs may have additional space in a hidden "restore" partition used for reinstalling software.
Hope this helps to explain,
Nathan C.

Well done Apple...
