What about us old timers!?

I have a late2006 iMac-there is now way I'm buying a new machine! Thanks bunches!

Your 2006 iMac is still functioning as well as it did when you got it. Just because it doesn't run the latest OS doesn't mean it's useless.
It's 6 years old and runs Lion.
There are third party apps available which can offer similar functionality to some of Mountain Lion's new features, Growl for notifications, Airparrot for Mirroring etc.
When you're iMac does eventually need replacing, are you going to go to a Windows based system? If so that is your choice or you can choose to get another 6+ years out of your next Mac

What about my old music?

Hello,
I picked something up from a friend that made me really curious..I don't know if I understood him right. I think he said, that if u already bought a song on iTunes then there is a way to "reload" it without having to buy again.
Is that correct and if yes..how do I do it?
Greetings and thx for answers in advance.

*don't know if I understood him right. I think he said, that if u already bought a song on iTunes then there is a way to "reload" it without having to buy again.*
The only way to "reload" a song lost or deleted from your computer is to restore it from your back-up copy. The policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
If you have an iPod, the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer

Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

What about my software which is in my old mac book pro like for instance parallels can I transfer this software to a new mak book pro that I want to buy ??

What about my existing software like parallels on my old mac book pro when I want to use that software on a new mac book pro I am ready to buy ???

Your new MacBook Pro won't run PPC programs. For Parallels you need to update to the latest version 7.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Synchronization with different PC's.what is happening & old material erases

Hello,
I just bought my IPOD TOUCH. but,,,,
Iam using three different pc's to download mucic and podcasts and everything.
one at home, two in work. That means i have created three different libraries.
Today for the first time, I tried to downlaoad to my IPOD THE podcasts that I downloaded to my 2st PC at work ( I had already used my 1st work pc to make my first synchronisation and i really suffered a lot until i did it). While I started to synchronise , a Message came in front of me , that I could lost the podcasts that I had in my IPOD. I ticked for YES , because i wanted desperateley to have in my newgadget this kind of podcast, and all the old ones were erased. Please keep in mind that i talk about different subscriptoins of podcasts, different themes.
there might be something to be done , when you change PCs?? . It is not logical everything old to be erased, . What about music? old music will be erased?
photos??
thanks all of you for your answers

An iPod touch, iPhone, or iPod shuffle cannot contain content from more than one iTunes library simultaneously except for content copied to an iPod shuffle when it is being used as a flash drive.

thanks

p.s. hope its the first step for flash on ipad/iphone!

I had gone through most of that tech note, but hadn't renamed
the configuration folder - sort of stopped after I couldn't
uninstall my extensions. So now I did unstall the extensions
(thanks for that tip!!), which didn't help; then renamed the the
configuration folder - and voila! it worked. I've done this before
for a similar problem, guess I should clean out all the old config
folders out there. Thanks for that. Shows me I must complete the
tasks given - just didn't quite believe that this was the problem
being addressed by the tech note.
Thanks for the help!

What is the "old school" way of doing multi take recording?

I have been experimenting with the new to logic feature of quickswipe comping. I both like it and don't like it. It has flaws. In other threads I have seen people talking about just using the old method. What is this old method? How is it done? I would like to try it out and see which I prefer.

I've yet to meet anyone who does like or use the quickswipe feature in Logic 8, but despite everyone's protestations it appears here to stay... even Pro Tools & Performer have jumped on the bandwagon. Logic does however appear to have the simplest implementation (though there are known issues with it).
The 'old-skool' method was a lot easier before Logic 8 insisted that all takes recorded in cycle mode should be placed in a comp folder. Granted you can unpack the folder or use the 'Replace Mode' button in combination with the 'New for Overlapped Regions' function... but a) This takes longer than it should, & b) The 'New for Overlapped Regions' function is applied to all regions within your arrangement (not just the most recent recording) - annoying if you have any overlaps elsewhere.
Once you have unpacked your folder into a block of takes, it can be useful to temporarily colour each take before editing (so you know it's source). Then set your two edit tools to 'Pointer' & 'Scissors' (top right corner of the arrange page) - and by holding the 'cmd' key, you can alternate between these two tools. Thus you can quickly chop & move sections of regions to a master comp track. (Some people use the 'Marquee' tool, but I'm a 'Scissors' man)...
You can then delete or hide unwanted takes or sections. The beauty of this method is that you can set individual fades (rather than global) - essential in my books. Although it might sound more convoluted than the quickswipe method, in my experience, it's a lot quicker, a lot more flexible, & definitely more reliable. 'Old-skool' perhaps... 'tried & tested' - no doubt!

What about "Extend application" in 1.6?

Hi all.
Gents, may be I completely stupid,
but where is old pretty link "Extend application" in 1.6?
Some explanation. I need to extend my old application, written in 1.5.1 environment. To do this, I need to add new page and more, than one pairs "Report-Form" on this page.
But in 1.6 I found only "Add page" or "Add page with component", with "Add page with component" I could add only one report with form. But where is "Add component on existing page" functionality? In help system I found NEVER about this way to exten application.
I don't understand, how I can do this primitive thing, as add component on existing page.
Idea with manual building all additional pairs, with first creation report, then page with form, then manual linking - is bogus IMHO. Another idea - with downgrade back to 1.5.1 is no better.
May be, somebody flush child with water? Or I really stupid guy?
So, question of the day - how to add component (exactly "Report-Form" pair) onto existing page in new, cool and powerfool 1.6?

Once more penny:
What about group edit operations? In 1.5 (on Edit page) was link "Edit", for simple group editiong/resequencing. In 1.6 is absent. When I have more, than 10-12 items/buttons etc. on page and if I need change every item, I spend much time to do that individually.
Also will be better to have "copy" possibility for processes and computations. For me will be usable group copy. For example, if I need to copy some elements from one existing page to another: region, contains items and buttons, the single way to do that - copy every needful element one by one.

What about HUGE libraries?

I have well over 500 GB of music, the huge majority of which is not going to be in Apple's library. If I'm lucky they'll be able to match a quarter of that.
What about the rest of it? Live recordings, rips from old LPs/45s/78s, foreign stuff that's not in the iTunes store? 5 GB of storage or 20,000 songs isn't going to scratch the surface. And are they going to try to sync 300+ GB of music onto my phone? Do they really want me to spend months uploading all this stuff into the cloud?
And how are they going to match these files? Audio fingerprints or by tags? I don't mind getting nice 256K copies of some of the stuff that I ripped from CD at 128K--but if they are trying to replace a beloved scratchy vinyl copy of a song with a shiny digital one because the song and artist match...that's not good.
I know this is an unusual situation but I would love to know where I can find out more information about this sort of detail.

Edit: Here is what Apple says about this:
"Your purchased music, apps, and books, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free storage. That leaves your mail, documents, Camera Roll, account information, settings, and other app data. "
That seems to indicate that the 5GB is not taken up by music, whether or not it's purchased or that which falls under 'Match'.
No, that would indicate that if it is purchased from the iTunes store it does not count against the limit.
If it was not purchased from the iTunes store and does not "Match", it will count against the 5GB limit.

Hi, I am worried about the old Iphones, couldn't we change them for another version? I have my Iphone 3, love it, but now I am feeling out of the picture. The phone works perfect...Is there any plan to do so? like recycling?

You can purchase any model (currently sold) iPhone that you desire.
What's the big deal or so complicated about figuring that out?

Buy it again in your new Apple ID or remember the old one. That's about it.

HT5071 Is it possible to call a locally installed ibook from a hyperlink? What about to a bookmark?

Is it possible to call a locally installed ibook from a hyperlink? What about to a bookmarked page?
I have 2 questions..
1. Can I send a link via email that when launched will open an ibook that has already been downloaded to the bookshelf?
2. If question 1 is possible, can I take it a step further and call a bookmark, i.e. chapter 3.
Our company has it's own appstore and I want to send out links to sections of the ibooks using bookmarks or at the very least take them to the start of the ibook.
I don't need to give them a link to install the ibook as they already have it installed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Chris.

That would be cool, but it's not possible. The ibook is not accessible by URL in the user's bookshelf.

HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.
