Are there any RIM people reading this? Comments?
hello cyrilca,
when you registered on this forum, you did read the terms & conditions that specifically explained that this forum is a community forum. The contributors here are BlackBerry enthusiasts, that spend part of their free time to help other BlackBerry owners.
BlackBerry employees do not monitor the forum (apart from moderation and very specific issues).
So if the whole point of posting the question here is to get a BlackBerry employee read it, it will fail. The best way to reach BlackBerry is to talk to the carrier. They are the BlackBerry customers, and as such, after many people going to their shops or contacting the helpdesk frontline, will report to BlackBerry what is going on.

After watching bb10 launch I was enthusiastic, and as my contract expire in February was thinking of getting bb10. However am not sure now:
1) information published is incomplete
2) support site non existent
3) seems to be no support for potential new buyers whatsoever - links on support page either broken, or for subscribers only.
1)
I agree that I could have more specs
but if I compare the Z10 specs to the Samsung Galaxy SIII, I think the Z10 specs are much more detailed than the SIII.
http://uk.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-z10/specifications.html
http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxys3/specifications.html
2)
as far as I know, unless you live in India or Indonesia, the support about BlackBerry phones is taken care of by the carrier. You pay the carriers, you do not pay BlackBerry. I am not giving my opinion, this is the way it works and it is the same for Samsung, LG, Sony and Motorola.
3)
I am not sure what pages you are referring to, but indeed I have seen a couple of pages forthe Z10 that were not perfect, but that was localized pages. So I guess by the time the carriers sell the Z10 in a given country, the corresponding localized pages will be perfect.
That being said, I find it extreme to refuse to buy a smartphone for the sole reason that you do not have information about the DAC.
but yet again, I know I cannot accept an iPhone product because they cannot play FLAC files...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect.

Anyone Using Apogee Ensemble? How Does It Sound?

the only weak link in my chain is my audio card. was wondering how does it sound compared to other interfaces?
thanks

There's been a very good discussion over at gearslutz. Apogee themselves are taking part...
http://gearslutz.com/board/showthread.php?t=85743&highlight=apogee+ensemble
Other good threads too if you do a search.
Apogee are currently providing the driver as Apple's firewire driver is ermm... unsuitable.
It is essential that all Ensemble users make sure they are using the latest software from apogee. they've been updating it every month for the past few months. I must say all my problems (well more like annoying niggles really)have gone since the last update - I'm not using every mode/config available of course.
Latency is pretty insignificant compared to the latency your daw provides due to plugins etc. I've just done a session this morning with a mandolin player. With PDC in Logic switched off for the busses I could still use plenty of plugins/VI's without problems (for his playing). Buffer is set to 128k right now. macpro's are just mind blowing!
As I type this I'm listening to Anoushk Shankar on CD through my ensemble and mackie 824's. Godd ddamn it sounds good:-)

Go into the settings and the app store. there you'll see the options to automatially update purchases. You can turn it off for music or other content. That should keep things from automatically downloading to both your devices.

Only if the songs were bought from iTunes, you use transfer purchases.
If not, you need a 3rd party tools.

Does this sound like a dead Time Capsule?

Came home this aft to no WIFI. Checked and the light was off on my Time Capsule (first generation) but otherwise intenret connectios seemed OK.
Powered the TC off/on; green light came on momentarily, changed to orange for about 30 seconds, then went off again. Repeated the cycle several times with no difference.
I have noticed recently that the hard-drive in my TC was getting noisy but everything appeared to be working until a few hours ago.
I recall there were issues with the early Time Capsules and sudden death. Does this sound like that situation?
Welcome advice on whether current generation Time Capsules are more reliable or would a better course be to replace it with a generic router and seprate backup disk?
Thanks ..donald

Apple treated me well on this. My TC was 15 months out of warranty when I took it to the Genius Bar. About the only question asked was "do you have Apple Care on another product?", following which a replacement TC was produced, some paperwork signed and I was on my way.
Only a couple of reservations:
The replacement TC, according to the Genius, is new "service stock" (not a refurnished unit) but the same model as my original TC; i.e. First Generation. This leaves me guessing it will have about a 2-yaer lifespan as well, so I I should plan on upgrading well in advance. I'll be listening carefully for strange noises and watching how hot it gets.
The second reservation is about security of the information on the TC; al the Time Machine backups plus a little bot of other stuff. The old TC was boxed for return to Apple and I have to trust Apple that it will be securly destroyed. Trust is a big thing.

Does this sound like a bad logic board?

Howdy everyone,
Tried searching and troubleshooting but I'm at a lost for answers so maybe someone who has experienced the same thing could chime in.
Our 2009 MBP started experiencing random beach balls a couple months back that gradually developed into full-blown lockups. Eventually the system refused to boot up so I figured it might be a hard drive problem.
I tested and verified the hard drive by:
1) using disk Disk Utility to verify and repair the drive (completed without any issues and S.M.A.R.T. is 'verified')
2) by installing the hard drive internally on a 2008 MB to see if it worked (booted up and worked just fine)
3) hooking up the drive to the MBP via USB enclosure and booting up as an external disk (again also worked fine)
Next I figured it would be the hard drive ribbon cable so I ordered and tried two different ribbon cables, one from an Amazon reseller and one from iFixit. I get the same result with both cables. The drive is recognized in Disk Utility but the system refuses to boot and gets stuck at the logo page with the spinning progress indicator. Booting in verbose mode revealed nonstop disk0s2 i/o errors.
I've ruled out the hard drive and the ribbon cable at this point so is there anything else that could be the culprit or does it sound like the logic board?
Thanks in advance for any input you could provide.

Hi Neurotic
You maybe in luck, that 24" with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT is rare and unlike most other iMac's can be refitted and with a new graphic's chip. Unfortunately the iMac is very difficult to open and work on, plus you may need an Authorized Apple Service Provider to locate and order the proper graphic's chip.
For a service provider in the US see > http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/

Does this sound like a logic board problem? Blue screen

I have a G4 1.33GHz iBook 14". Recently it has started having problems with freezing and booting. It will boot normally, but a few seconds or minutes into use, if freezes, and only a force shutdown with the power button will work. Then, when it restarts, it may run fine, or may freeze up. Sometimes when it boots, the apple logo shows up, then the spinning wheel, then a light blue screen. And then, nothing.
I have tried all the usual stuff, including starting with the 10.4 DVD and running disk utility. Also Onyx and version 3.03 of Disk Warrior. It wouldn't boot from the Disk Warrior CD usually, and the one time it did, if froze up.
SO, I ended up booting it in Firewire Target Disk mode, and reformatting (zero'd out) using my MacBook. Then, reinstalled the 10.4 and upgraded to 10.4.7 using Software Update. It worked fine for about two hours, and then started freezing and blue screening again.
Does this sound like a logic board thing? It just occurred to me that I haven't tried all this stuff with my additional 1 Gb stick of RAM out. It hasn't caused any problems before, but I suppose it might affect this, no?
Sorry for the long post, but I want to try to diagnose and fix BEFORE it goes off to Apple to be returned with a "we can't demonstrate the problem" message and a bill.
Thanks
Roger

I took out the 1 Gb stick and it did the same thing. About half the time it boots, works for a little while then freezes up. The rest of the time it won't boot past the spinning wheel then the blue screen. Same deal with the OSX DVD and the DiskWarrior CD.
Frustrating. I may have to send it in.

Does this sound like I need a new hard drive for iPod?

I have an 15GB 3rd generation iPod (4 buttons across top) and now i'm having some major issues. I have to restore constantly and even after a successful restore (which takes about 6-8 tries to keep the restore from freezing) it'll update songs on iTunes if I relaunch the Finder and only if I do that. The hard drive has a clicking noise whenever it's trying to connect to my computer. I'm assuming the clicking is a bad hard drive. Does that sound like it could be the case?

Thanks. I've tried partitioning and erasing the hard drive a couple times. Once in a while it succeeds in erasing the data and then I can attempt a restore but usually the iPod causes Disk Utility to freeze and I have to force quit or manually disconnect my iPod. After I successfully erased the data my restore attempts are usually unsuccessful anyway. The clicking still occurs and I usually have to try restoring about 3-6 times with various iPod Updaters before I get one that will restore completely. Even after that I can't re-connect my iPod to the computer without having to relaunch the finder.
I might have to look into an iPod Video or Nano

What is "Print to file" used for? How does one use it?

From a web page I navigate FILE-->PRINT then check 'print to file' box. Firefox saves the file to its folder in C:\Program Files..
When later, I want to retrieve the data and print it out it refuses to be opened by any known software, including Firefox!. Even Dell seems to have no documentation on what this feature is for, or how to use it. I thought this was a convenient tool for saving print jobs for later processing. Boy was I wrong! Who knows what's going down here?

Checking the "Print to file" was earlier one way, however maybe not the best one, to generate postscript code, if you had defined a postscript printer. This printer could be completely virtual and not necessarily exist in the real world. Many of the Hewlett-Packard printers were usable. This was in a time when just a few programs could generate pdf code, but you had the Ghostscript program and its ps2pdf tool to do the conversion. As postscript is a text format, you could also edit the file, if so wanted, before the converson.

When aligning to stage if something is selected and you click an align button while align to stage is on then the selected item will align to where you said (far left or right, far top or bottom, center etc.)
When NOT using align to stage you can select TWO items and align them relative to eachother.

What is VNC in Sharing and how does someone login remotely?

How does someone from a remote PC login and gain access to a Mac with remote desktop with VNC without turning remote sharing on? So they can see what I see and can control my mouse from a PC?

without turning on screen sharing and with the remote user working from a windows pc, there is no way built into os x to do this. however if the remote user is using a mac you can use ichat's screen sharing feature.
otherwise, you can turn on screen sharing, find your ip address (google 'what is my ip address'), ensure the ports are open on your router and enable vnc users by entering a password in the advanced dialog.
