What iPad cart would be best to purchase ?
Hello guys, I work in a College and we are starting to give out iPad 2 to students to loan out. We are currently thinking of purchasing a cart that would be worthy of our demands. We currently are loaning out 30 iPads (and more to follow soon enough..TBA). So far I had seen a few online like the following 2 links for starters..

http://www.genesis-technologies.com/cart/Education/Anthro/Anthro_Tablet_Charging _Cart_40_unit_Standard_Case_TAB40SS_PW4_p7932.html
I would liek to know what would be best for our demands and if there are any other better suited models iPda carts please do Link..
Thanks

Use caution if you use a Bretford cart. Bretford support refused to resolve the problem below.
Bretford USB cables have worn out the plastic/metal on our iPads. Many of our ipads no longer send video to a projector using the 30 pin connector.
We had to take apart our Breford cart, remove the Bretford cables, and then install genuine apple cables. Now with the Apple cables we have a lot less damage to our ipads.
Students have never been allowed to plug in their ipads. The ipads easily last 2 days on a charge. To reduce wear on the connectors the IT person (me) plugs in the ipad on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday night.
=======================
ps: Using an Elmo document camera I can peek into the ipad connector and see the damage. Anyone with a good Elmo camera can do this. Many schools with a Bretford will never notice this damage until they try to connect their iPads to VGA output.
other problems with the Bretford cart
- Our bottom metal shelf was bowed down, and the metal backstop came loose
- I had to install small foam cushions on the backstops, as the metal backstop risked breaking the ipad
- We sent in a deffective Bretford cart. It was very time consuming. The new cart was worse, and Bretford offered a 3rd cart, but we could not afford the loss of time.

i have a mid 2011 i5 imac and i want to transfer my vinyl records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for my imac that has compatible software for transfer to itunes
Hallo,
I use an Akai usb turntable with the Audacity sw delivered with it. To monitor during recording I also use the LineIn utility (all this on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks).
It works fine, only the input volume of the usb audio port cannot be adjusted (at least I did not yet discover how to do it) and the volume of the music is lower than other music imported into iTunes from CD or iTunes store, but still acceptable.

I film with an iPhone and edit in PE10, what project settings would be best?
So I'm filming a short film with my iPhone 4S, and editing in PE10. The recommended project setting for the iPhone 4S's footage is 'Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29_97'. However, I film using an App called FilmicPro, which allows me to customize frames per second, resolution and audio capture with some settings. In my case, I've set the app to film at 30fps and with a resolution of 1920x1080. I still use the above mentioned project setting. So my first question is:
-If I'm filming in 1080x190 at 30fps, is there a different setting I should be using for the project?
Now for the second part. The first part of my editing process is I start a project, select 'Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29_97', then I splice and string together the raw footage from FilmicPro like normal. Next I export the project with the settings:
Quicktime (For email and playback on Mac)
Output: 1920x1080, 29_97fps, Progressive, Quality 100 48000hz, Mono, H.264
Source: Clip, Sequence 01,
1280x720 (1.0), 29_97 fps, Progressive, *insert duration*, 48000 Hz, Stereo
Audio Codec: AAC
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz Mono
Video Codec: H.264
Field Type: Progressive
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
Render at Max. Depth: 24 bit
After I export the project, I start another project (not changing the project settings from before), and then I import the finished project as media so I can add special FX (in this case muzzle flashes, blood, etc.). However when I add the video, PE10 states the project settings dont match, and asks if I'd like the program to choose the correct settings. I select yes. This changes the project settings to 'DSLR-1080p-DSLR 1080p30'. I edit without issues, and use the same export settings as I did for the base draft. I also notice when I view the project settings in the second project after it changes settings, that it says the editing mode is now 'Sony XDCAM EX 720p'. So my second question is:
-Should I use the setting that PE10 switches to? Or select 'No' and still use the Flip Mino setting i used for the first draft?
The end video still looks great (for an iphone), although of course there is still noise. I'm basically trying to get the absolute best quality possible. If this is as good as it gets, and It turns out ive been doing this right, then that's fine. But if anyone can recomend better settings to use, then please tell. Thanks.
Forgot to mention, I'm using an unmodified MacBook Pro (2006) with Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Dont know if that info is needed, but thought I'd include it.BlackJack5852
Maybe I missed something. So extra post on this.

Why? Where did the 720p30 come from?
If you have 720p30 footage, you should be using
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p30
If that is what you have, do you really want to export that as 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720?
If an export of 1280 x 720, please look at
Share
Computer
AVCHD
Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080 p30
and change the settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab to look like
Please check out the export settings adjustments that you can make under Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab for the preset that you select.

Which Mac Pro would be best for editing?
I'm upgrading my editing system and I was wondering what type of computer would be best. Again, the system is used almost solely for editing film in regular def and high def. I'm wondering what processor speed would be best. Whether I should get a duel core or quad core and why? What are the bells and whistles that are not needed? Price is no obstacle, but I don't want to just buy the best if it isn't necessary.
The amount of RAM is of more influence than the difference between the processor speeds of the Mac Pro models. RAM is not that expensive, so always put as much in as you can, when using software that uses lots of memory. You're even better of using a slower processor with plenty of RAM than using on that is a little faster, but has few RAM.
Then there is the speed of the hard disk memory that will be your next bottleneck, specially when using video or other large files. All Mac Pro 2008 models have 4(!) drivebays you can shove more SATA hd's right in. Then use the disk utility to configure them (2, 3 even 4!) as a RAID set, that is 2, 3 or 4 times as fast! Use the same type and size hd's for a set. Read up on RAID before you decide to use it. I use a striped RAID of 3 hd's and a 4th for a Time Machine backup of the RAID. They all fit nicely in the Mac Pro and hd's are not that expensive either.
BTW Both RAM and HD's are cheaper when you buy them outside the Apple store, I'm sorry to say. -
I am traveling to India, north and south, with my ipad 2, G-3. It is activated by AT and T. How do I use it in India? Do I need to purchase a sim card there and if so what kind? Would they be available in the Delhi airport or where else in central Delhi?
Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there?
Check with your carrier about roaming charges. They are usually prohibitive. Best to get a local SIM. -
I am working in a school. Last year we had one ipad cart which holds 30 ipads and one macbook for syncing. This year we bought another cart of 30 ipads, but not an extra macbook. Can I sync all 60 ipads to the one macbook computer?
In theory everything that you are saying sounds right to me.
I am not sure at all what the limitations are when using the iPad in education as far as how many iPads can sync to one iTunes account. I am going to take a stab in the dark here and guess that you can sync up to 49 iPads with one Mac and one iTunes account since the device that I found has 49 ports. How's that for an obvious guess?
But seriously, I don't how Apple treats volume licensing with a single iTunes account in education. You were using 30 iPads this past school year so we know that's not a problem. The device that I found has 49 ports so we assume that 49 iPads are OK as well. You would have to check with Apple as to what the limitations/rules arefor using a single iTunes account.
There has to be a way to sync as many iPads as you have students in those classes or the iPad in education would not be a viable option. What I don't know about is how you go about paying for that volume license or how it is implemented.
For personal use, you can use up to 10 devices with a single Apple ID/iTunes account. No more than 5 of those devices can be computers. -
What would the best iPod for me be?
Ok, so I apologize if this is a little off topic or something.
I am a 15 year old, 10th grade American.
I currently have a shuffle, which I hate.
I only have about 300 songs in my iTunes library, but I'm working pretty hard on building up my music collection.
I have 200$ that I can easily spend.
What iPod do you guys think would be best for me?
I like the new nano 4th generation--would that be good? and if so, 8GB or 16GB?
I would want this iPod to last me at least until college, but probably longer.
What are your opinions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Well, since you are fifteen and wish to use this iPod until you enter college, which iPod you purchase depends on your needs.
One, since an iPod can be enabled for hard disk use to save text to, you could save files for school on it as well as music. Since the iTunes songs can be as large small as 3MB and as large as 10MB, add on video files and that takes up storage fast. I'd go for the 16GB, especially since you mentioned you'd like to add to your iTunes Library.
If you take good care of an iPod, it will take good care of you. I have a 2nd generation iPod (6rs old) and still running the original battery)... The iPod Nano 16GB holds 4,000 songs/16 hours of video and FREE shipping on orders over $50.00... sounds like a winner to me but get all the advice you can.

Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. I assume that if I buy an iPhone 5s (or 5c) then iWork would be listed as a "purchased" app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account... or are keynote, pages, and numbers completely seperate between ipad and iphone? I know they would be a seperate purchase for my Powerbook. Thanks so much for your help!
Hi,
I was able to load the Productivity Suite / Free !! on both my iPad mini and my iPhone 5s with no problems and at no cost. -
I have an apple id which I have been happily using to purchase from iTunes and it appears magically on iPad and iPhone, MacBook and partner's iPod touch. Now I have done something wrong in iCloud and my mobile me Id comes up on iPhone and iPad so I can no longer purchase using this and i can't find a way to reset What should I do? I want to be able to buy apps from iPhone and iPad from this same account and still synch with my mac book and share with my partner's iPod touch.
Any suggestions?We are users, not Apple. We cannot trace your phone, and neither can Apple.

I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible
If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with. -
I made an in app purchase and never received what I was supposed to. I contacted the producers of the app and they never got back to me. I then contacted apple and they said they would return my 25$ purchase. I still haven't gotten it. I am starting to feel like I just lost 25 dollars and both companies are sweeping it under the bus. I don't know what to do now. What should I do?!?!

my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back
Hi there,
This seems very frustrating. An iPad can shut down randomally for many reasons, just like a computer can crash. If it begins to happen regularly, then do contact Apple, but there are no signs that your iPad is malfunctioning from just one shut down like this.
But, you should be able to get all your in-app purchases back. In some apps, there is a 'restore purchases' button, which will download all the purchases you made for free.
In some cases, you can tap to make the purchase again, and it will be downloaded at no charge, however this does not happen with consumable items such as coins and credits.
I reccomend contacting iTunes Store Support at the link below, they will take a closer look at your purchases and give you further steps on redeeming them. They may also refund you if they have been lost.
iTunes Store Support
You can also contact the developer of the app, and report the crash and missing purchases. If you tell me the app, I'll give you the relevent contact in the developers.
Other than that, sorry for the problems, and have a great day,

What cable would be best to transfer files?
I just brought a 2013 rMBP- 13' and want to transfer files from a 2009 iMac running 10.6.8. Can I use Migration Assistant...if so what cable would be best? Firewire to firewire? Also will Snow Leopard be able to talk with Maverick?
Just to be sure....Since there isn't a firewire port on the new 2013 rMBP, I add the Apple ThunderBolt to FireWire Adapter then connect it with a firewire 800 cable to the 2009 iMac. Then Migration Assistant will be able to transfer over files, etc. Correct?

What is a good storage size when purchasing an iPad?
what is a good storage size when purchasing an iPad?
Keep in mind > How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
Actual capacity on a 16GB iPad is approximately 13.82GB.
Video files can take up space fast not including other data such as Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Music, Notes, Apps, and Bookmarks so you may want to keep that in mind before you select the 16GB.
Your Mac must be running at the minimum v10.5.8 in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPad.
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 9.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
