So, what's the bottom line about these new iMac displays?

My MBP needs repair again, and while waiting for it to be picked up by Apple, fixed and returned I've revived my even older PBG4, running really slowly off an external USB 1 HD.
Since my work depends on using my Mac daily, I was thinking of buying a new computer and using my MBP for a backup.
The prices on the 21.5" and 27" iMacs are good. And they look beautiful when I saw them at Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara. A new 15" or 17" (like I have now) MBP is really too expensive for me right now.
I have had very bad luck with Mac purchases. Almost every one I've ever bought has needed repair - usually as soon as I brought it home. And now I'm reading all these messages about the display problems. Also, the 27" versions seem to have a 2 week delay on orders (though the 21.5" ones are available now.)
If my purpose is to quickly get an affordable Mac this week so I don't have to labor through using this old PBG4 while my MBP is out, are the iMacs ok? Or are the display problems almost universal?
It's sometimes hard to tell since these forums are, after all, a place where people come to discuss problems!
Any opinions?
Thanks,
doug

Thanks for all your replies, people. And hello to you, kguy!
I never even read about broken pixels on the iSight camera. Something else to worry about!
There are some things that bother me greatly about my display and I will argue to the ends of the earth to get an exchange if they happen. The main thing for me is broken pixels. On my MacBook Pro (late 2006) I had 1 bad pixel and it was driving me to distraction and I argued until they exchanged it.
On the other hand, at the same time, LOTS of people were posting about "uneven illumination" problems with their MBP screens and posting lots of photos and there were a lot of threads about it. I suppose if I looked hard enough, after seeing what they were talking about, I could probably see something similar in my MBP screen, but it honestly never bothered me.
But broken pixels truly drive me to distraction.
I haven't seen this "yellowing" thing at any of the floor models at Yodobashi Camera. But it could be because of the comment in this thread about having to look at the display at a severe angle to see.
I've also experienced what kguy has experienced about support in Japan. There is a general reluctance to admit that there is a problem and they will insist that things are "within acceptable range" (to whom?), but then they find some other excuse to actually go ahead and do the repair. It's like they don't want to set a precedent for other people, but they want to resolve the issue and not leave an unhappy customer. If all else fails with Apple Japan you can nicely say, "OK. Thanks. I guess my next step is to talk with the consumer affairs agency." At that point they inevitably say, "Please hold a moment" and come back with a resolution to your problem.
I've had problems, usually out of the box, with every single Mac I have ever purchased except one - my iMac G5 (long since sold at an auction site). Not a broken pixel, not a single problem. I loved that machine, except was upset that it was basically obsoleted 3 weeks after I bought it when they came out with the Intel versions!
Anyway, I might go over to the store and see if I can see this "yellowing" problem people are talking about. Like I said, I didn't notice it before.

I'm TRULY not trying to be a smart a##.... but what is the bottom line??

I've been on the boards and forums since yesterday watching and waiting for the iPhone 3G roll out and iPod Touch software updates. It seems to me that based on everything I've been reading, that the entire roll out has been a failure. The @me.com has been a problem since Wednesday, no one that I've heard of has had a new iPhone activated ( based on what I'm reading on the boards) , and no one has been able to get their iPod Touch software upgraded successfully.
Is this an accurate observation? I'm REALLY REALLY not trying to be one of those negative posters that only point out the issues Apple is / has done poorly. I am relatively new to Apple and love what I have ( 7 iPods, 2 Apple TV's and a MacBook ), but it just seems Apple totally missed the mark on this. I am ABSOLUTELY open to being corrected if my observation is incorrect, but I would like to see some dialogue on this.... what do you think has happened? How could something of this magnitude have occured? I'm really interested in hearing from others...others that can talk about it intelligently as apposed to just taking the opportunity to dump on Apple.
Thanks !
Chuck :- )

Hindsight is 20x20 and it's easy to arm chair quarterback but, here's my $0.02.
Apple tried to deploy the iPhone 3G, the iPod touch 2.0, the App Store, and a completely re-vamped .mac all in one day. It was ambitious and I'm sure they had a good reason to do it all at once. Perhaps the sync service from MobileMe require the new code on the phone and iPod, or the iTunes store needed to be updated in an all or nothing mode. I don't know, but I've been involved in upgrades of web services and there's always some wrinkle in your plan when you do these things.
It's frustrating and I don't like the idea that I've got to wait for this mess to get cleaned up. Just imagine another company trying this ambitious of a new product roll out? Imagine Microsoft rolling out a new Zune, a revamped MSN, and a new version of Windows Mobile all in one day. How about Blizzard trying to roll out Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, and World of Warcraft expansion #2 on the same day.
For some reason Apple decided that rolling out all these products on the same day was the thing to do. Maybe they needed to break AT&T's enrollment server in order to escape a bad business deal? Maybe the guys at Apple product management who did the roll out planning decided it let the "new guy" do all the work because he's not a great guy to work with. With organizations as large as AT&T and Apple there could be any number of reasons. I'm guessing we'll never really know so I'm going to try to come up with something silly and entertaining, like:
Some junior execs at Apple got "double dog dared" at some management symposium to try to roll out as many products in one days as possible and thus we have 11 July 2008

What is the bottom line-does new firmware allow us to use TM with Airdisk?

Just as the topic reads - does the newly released firmware allow us to use an external HD connected to Airport Extreme for Time Machine?
All of the Mac sites seem to report that it does - does it?
Gregg

It certainly seems to be supported using an AirDisk connected to my 1TB TC. I do have an AEBS but haven't tried it on that yet.

Infinity not coming to Cabinet. What's the bottom ...

Hi guys,
I've known BT Infinity is coming to our exchange for quite a while now and since it's supposedly accepting orders from 1st Sept (I know this is an estimate), I decided to check the cabinets on dslcheck.bt.com. It seems ours is the only one not getting upgraded. I have to admit, we're quite a way out and the cabinet doesn't provide many houses with broadband. However, it's still a massive downer as we were all pretty excited. Weirdly, when I put in our postcode (which on a map takes us a couple of hundred meters away from the house) it says the FTTC, so it must be coming relatively close. Anyway, what I really want to know is, what's the bottom line? Is it possible to request a cabinet to be upgraded or is it just too much work to upgrade a cabinet (out of interest could someone explain what actually gets done when they upgrade a cabinet)?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mackey18,
If your exchange area is being upgraded via the Openreach Superfast broadband Commercail scheme then your cabinet may not be included in the current scheme for many reasons eg not commercially viable, planning issues, ect. You can try email [email protected] with your landline number, address, postcode and pcp (cabinet) number to see of there is any plans or your cabinet.
If your exchange area is being upgraded with superfast broadband via your local council/authority's BDUK scheme then your will need to contact your council for more information.
Hope that helps,
Cheers

When using Windows 2007 in Vista and HP Deskjet 6620 the bottom line gets cut off

When using Windows 2007 in Vista 32bit and HP Deskjet 6620 printer, the bottom line gets cut off. I have searched and searched but find no fix. Please help. What I do find is HP blaming Microsoft and Microsoft blaming HP. Where is the fix??? Think of all of us frustrated users. Is there a fix out there????? I attempted to download a new driver, assign it then attempted the patch all to no avail. I was even told try to bold the document...still no fix. Where is the patch? This is an HP issue. Please assist.
I hope this gets addressed ASAP. In my search many have had this issue with HP. Here is one comment...and it does not look good..."I am extremely upset with this issue and spent far too long trying to work with HP support. The HP support person was hopeless. I gave up and went off on my own. I hope HP releases drivers that correct this problem rightly in the future."
If this is not fixed or addressed I am sure it will affect the future buying of HP products from me and others. Let's see HP come out of this issue smelling like a rose. I await the fix.
Message Edited by KimINgr on 07-13-2009 08:01 PM

I will reply to myself....there is a fix. Thanks to someone else who had the same issue, went round and round with HP and then had this issue escalated up to get a more experienced tech who then had the print driver 990C installed to replace the driver he had selected. Me I had the 6620 which is the correct driver but had the issues so I tried the 990C driver and guess what.....it worked!!!!!!! So, HP is this your driver issue or is it Microsoft? I say driver issue. You might want to get a patch out their for the fix.

I came up with a way to increase the bottom line and increase public opinion of Verizon.

When the Verizon customer service staff read script to customers all day, they know all the details... all the small details. The average user does not. Some people use Verizon email for important email, and then other email accounts for less important messages. There should be an option to pay a fee if the average user does not see any reason that Verizon would turn off email. Other companies have email.
Look at the ads for the Discover card in the subway. They read - Discover IT is New, IT is Different, IT is Human. Talk to a real person anytime you want. It will change the way you feel about ________.
What if Verizon changed. What if all the staff of Verizon, knowing that their Midyear reviews are coming suggested change. What if they could say "I came up with a multi-million dollar way to increase revenue." I came up with a way to increase the bottom line and increase public opinion of Verizon.
Give the customer a choice to pay $200 for a one time transfer of email. Then Verizon is a hero and makes money too. Multipy $200 by the number of people who had to give up internet this month and that number has to be big! Put that message on your midyear review. Nobody can tell where it came from. They will only know that you are trying to think of ways to increase the bottom line. Who knows... maybe there will be a raise in it for you! Good luck.

Oh yes, this is great – At last, I can see what I’m trying to do at least. Appreciate your input so rapidly. I jump on the link so rapidly that I failed to notice if there might be a set half this much. I might be able to see it half this much increase like 100% instead of 200%? Oh don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining, was just wondering – what if…
Thanks,
Sam

What Are the Exact Basic rules for Replying a Thread...... -:) @};-

Hi Experts,
After Looking into the forums many days I had a small conclusion about forums,
SAP Forums are better place I have seen for getting a goo dhelp & Knowledge...
Why can't we make it a BEST Place.
This is just a small doubt which I would like to clear myself first,
I have seen many users In the forums asking for a Basic Questions
When cleared, But still they want to have a Spoon feeding with a Sample Code.
When Sample Code Given they will provide the original code and requests for Modifications.
These always looks to me as crazy.
I have seen somelong time agin by moderators posting that In SCN there will be no SPOON FEEDING.
I am not sure whether if still this Rule AVAILABLE or NOT.
Ok if the task is really difficult let them ask again and again,
And it was not replied, let them repost, I agree with them.
And How about a User Registered in SDN very long back and asking for a silly question in below thread,
[Sendin Email to the recipent list -Need correct FM |Getting the address from shipto partner of Bil. item not directly from C.ma]
This is one more example, really funny, The thread poster needs the solution at any cost, he doesn't require and Suggetions,,, {He Only needs Solution}
[Radio Buttons |Radio Buttons;
[Turning Off Debugger |Turning Off Debugger;
[Regarding Amount in words|Regarding Amount in words;
There are 100's of threads like this....Everyone knows this facts.
Check this who answered this one and who replied correct answer, who copied, finally who was rewarded...!
[how to validate POsting period |Re: how to validate POsting period]
Now My Real Problem is....!
User is always intelligent, Only the weakness is in Contributor, trying to help them,..,
And I openly say that Someone requesting for basic help is not DUMB, But the Contributor replying forgets
the basic rules " Why Contributing ?"
According to me It's not the Requestor to see Rules & Requlations before posting the threads,
But its responsibilty for the Contributing person to see th Rules & Requlations before replying the threads,
If we follow the rules and stand on a single word or rule or anything there will be Good Result.
Major Problem is in US not anyone else.
Example Some one saying search in the forum,,, then please no replies after that...
But we are very pity hearted again we post the solution,,,
But it is not at all enough(for cintribtor's)... they will copy the solution and post again by slight Modifications,
And Some users are having 500,600,700,800 Posts with 0 points, registered long long back.
They are completly dependent on forums,,, As they goto office and as they eat, The same they open forums and ask Queries...
They will never realize what they are doing,, and we will never let them improve better...
Finally Lets Discuss About this and Correct & Suggest me if I am wrong,
Is my thoughts are going in the right way or not I am not even sure... Please Aslo Correct me if I did any mistakes.
Thanks & regards,
Dileep .C

Hi Stephen,
Very useful Information,
First tell me a little something about my self...
After completion of my certification(as a fresher) I was down the streets hunting the job,
with the insufficient knowledge and being a non-experienced person, I never got one.
And mean while when I got my "S-UserID", I used to be proud, To say frankly, I registerd in SDN & SAP all at a time, without even knowing what I can do there..,
When I got a job afterwords I was doing the job and never seen SDN page for many months,
when I came to know that of we have doubts we can post at SDN. then started requesting help,
I posted only a little, I didnot got the proper response. on that day I decided,
still there are some places where we cannot get help on time and there will be people waiting to get help,
Why cant I put some of my efforts to help others.
Then I searched some topic by Topic in SDN topic by Topic I used to read threads just for knowledge.
when I feel my self comfort for contributing, I started contibuting...!
If you haven't read it, take a look first, so you can understand where things are now.
I dont know where things are now. But these in this thread I mentioned clearly what I seen from the day I started contributing.
I searched with the terms of 'Rules for replying', The results are not as I expected, and this link has subject as
"O SDN, where art thou?" So it dosent hit my in the list.
Like everybody until a certain stage I am also rushing for points.
But I most cases I never tried to copy paste answers. If I done some then that is just to point it myself some day,
I have no hopes or no intrest on the points...! This was discussed with Rob & Matt, at my inital contribution where my points are 36.
From that day till date I have changed a lot to myself.
Everyone cannot change like me because they are not like me & And I dont even expect that...!
I will be online almost 6-8Hrs a day, Not even getting intrest to see the forums just because of the co-contributors.
My only point is I am just requesting to a co-contributor,
Clearly In a example : Lets say contributor has replied to a thread, and if you know that is a correct solution,
please dont reply any more, If you have a better solution than that, then only reply,
Even there is one reply in the thread not a matter, if correct answer leave that query.
If still error persists, Show up with your Idea's...
Dont let down the contributor, by copying his reply and editing and pasting(edit only if incorrect).
I am just looking for this one exactly to circulate between ourselfs.
For this we a little support from moderators to circulate(may be as a rule or may be as a mail to them)
You may say again how many mails we have to send, It dosent matter, one mail to one person one time,
and +ve factors will show up definetly.
A real contributor always understand what I am talking about, but some one who hunts for points will never.
I am really sorry if I am troubling with my doubts & requests,
If so, Pleae forgive me,,
Thanks & regards,
Dileep .C

What is the exact problem with this file?

Hi all,
There is an old form , which was not in use from many days.
Now when we tried to run the form, i got the error saying "FRM-40734:Internal Error:Pl/SQL error occured.", in the login form.
When i tried to open the fmb file in Oracle Forms Builder 6i, i got the following error:
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library d2kwutil. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved., but the fmb file got open.

Because i commented the above line & compiled, so it is not giving any error now.

WhatÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂs the best practice for this scenario?

Hi,
My users want the ability to change the WHERE and/or ORDER BY clause at runtime. They may define user preferences on each screen ( which is bind to a view object). They want to see the same records based on WHERE/ORDER BY defined on the last visit. That is why I keep the users preferences and load the screen based on that, using :
View.setWhereClause(...);
View.setOrderByClause(...);
View.executeQuery();
This works good when only one user working with the application but faced low performance when more than one user working with the application.
What are the points to increase the performance and what is the best practice for this scenario?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Sung,
I am talking only about 2 users in my testing. I am sure i missed something but could not recognize that.
This page is my custom query page including a tag to instantiate app module in stateful mode at the top <jbo:ApplicationModule..> and a tag to instantiate data source <jbo:Datasource...> and release tag at the bottom <jbo:ReleasePageResources..> and some java code in the middle(body). The java code constructed the query statement and then fires the query to set the view object based on the query statement using the above methods.
So, I am facing very slow performance(speed) when two clients load this page at the same time. Looks like the entire application locks for others when one client load this page and fire the query. i realized the battle neck is where executeQuery() is executing.
what do you think.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

I have Lightroom 4 and my hard drive is getting too full wiht pictures i have in lightroom. I want to move many to a thumbdrive and delete them from lightroom. what are the steps to perform this please ?

If you want to be able to view, edit and export from Lightroom you can move the files using your computer OS (explorer or finder) and update the folder location by right-clicking on the folder name in the LR Library. See fig 8 at the attached link:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
This will work when the thumb drive is connected.
If you really have no need to keep these files off-line in LR then simply move the files, select all the thumbnails in the LR Library and hit delete. Then choose remove.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is your Powerbook one that has Optical in and out? If it is, then it has SPDIF ports instead of the usual minijacks of older Powerbooks. You can tell by opening Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> selecting Audio (Built-in). If SPDIF is mentioned, then you have Optical in and out.
If it is, then I found this interesting article which may help you out:

Uncadon,
Sounds like a Gmail archive icon. "When you archive a message, it moves to the All Mail folder. It does not delete it from the Gmail account. Archive replaces all delete options when using a Gmail account, including using the Trash icon while viewing a message and selecting Edit to manage multiple messages. You can disable this feature in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail Account > Archive Messages:"

What is the bottom line of this reply which I received?
