What USB 3.0 hub for a new iMac14,2 ?

Will a new iMac14,2 support a USB 3.0 hub?
What models work?
A scanner and a printer will be USB 2.0. An external drive and CD reader/writer will be USB 3.0.
Is there a way to connect these devices to retain USB 3.0 speed on the USB 3.0 devices?

Yes a new iMac will support a USB 3 hub, however like ANY hub connected to an iMac it needs it's own power supply.
USB 3 is backwards compatible to USB 2, no need to worry about that.

Also the > D-Link | DUB-1340 4-Port Superspeed USB 3 Hub, looks like a good choice.

The best cover is the one that suites your needs. Try Google. There are dozens on the market.
As for the Apple Smart Cover, it does work with the new iPad. There are a few reported issues with it, but that doesn't come close to representing the totality of folks with it.

Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

The iPod, iPad & iPhone cables are identical, however, the chargers are not.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

USB 3.0 Hub for my iMac

Good Day!
Just obtained a Belkin 4 port Hub model : F4U073 purchased through MacStore online.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD988ZM/A/belkin-4-port-usb-30-powered-hub?fno de=58
My main purpose was to connect my SuperDrive to it but it doesn't connect.
A message comes up on my iMac monitor indicating that the SuperDrive USB Apple needs to be connected to a Mac's USB port.
3 Questions :
Why is this? Any idea?
Is it worth the purchase or investment if I connect other USB cables to the USB Hub and attach the SuperDrive to the iMac's USB port?
Do I need to use the Power Supply for it to work on my iMac? (It seems to work without it.)
Do I need to use the Power Supply for it to work on a MacBook? (Haven't tried it yet)
Cheers for the New Year!
It will be going down to -20° C or -6° F tonight.
Keeping warm...

SMC Reset:
Shut down the iMac
Unplug the iMac's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the iMac's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the iMac.
The SuperDrive device must be plugged directly into your iMac.
A SuperDrive device connected to a hub will not have access to extra power above the standard USB specification of the port the device is connecting to
(500 mA for USB 2, and 900 mA for USB 3).
The USB port providing extra power is determined by the SuperDrive device that requires power beyond 500 mA for USB 2, or 900 mA for USB 3. The remaining ports will continue to offer their normal maximum output. Some Apple Macs may offer the ability to operate more than one USB port at 1100 mA at 5 V. On those computers, the second port is enabled when an appropriate device is connected.

What is the best upgrade for the new Air?

I am looking for a new Macbook Air for college and was wondering what upgrade would be the smartest decision. I was thinking of a 13" air with:
1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM
128GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
or a 13" Air with:
1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor
Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz
8 GB memory
256GB PCIe-based flash storage1
The former option would save me approximately $60. What are the benefits of an upgraded processor? I have heard they would make my computer overheat more easily and the fan would be significantly louder. This is making me question if the processor is worth it. In addition, I am unsure of how beneficial the 8GB as opposed to 4GB of RAM would be. How can I optimize the speed of my laptop if I want to run Windows through Parallels? That is essential.
Please advise, Thanks.

If you buy a 2013 model you can save up to $400+ from online resellers who are clearing out the "old" model.
However the "old" model is nearly 100% identical in performance .
to answer your question, unless you plan on gaming or video editing, get the I5 with 8GB of RAM with 256 SSD

What is the correct charger for the new iPad Air 2?

Our new iPad Air 2 came with a 10Watt charger. Went to the apple store to get a spare. The Apple folk insist the 12 watt unit is what it needs - sold my will two. Just trying to figure out which is correct for a new Model= 'MGKL2LL/A' iPad Air 2.
Thanks

Skydiver119 wrote:
Either will work. Many people say they received a 10W with their iPad, but it will charge just fine with a 12W. Previous models were shipped with 12W chargers, so no one really knows why the 10W was put in with the Air 2.
I would guess the Air 2 got a 10 Watt Charger, because the battery in the Air 2 is a bit smaller than the battery in the Air.

What is the "correct" name for the new iPad? Is it also called the 3rd Generation?

I have the latest iPad, purchased Mar '12. But when I read Apple News it is referred to as the "new ipad" & somtimed the 3rd Generation. What is the "correct name & will "SIRI" be available with this Fall latest update? Thanks!!!

Yes, it is somewhat confusing isn't it. Almost like, the iPad is having an identity crisis. I believe the official Apple line would be that it is the "New iPad" but I see it referred to the 3rd generation just as frequently as the new iPad.
Siri will be available for the "new iPad/3rd Gen when iOS 6 is released this fall.

What to expect to pay for a new/used iSight?

What were these iSight cameras selling for brand new when Apple sold them?
Why did they discontinue it?
I have the 30" ACD, should I invest in a new/used one from ebay or somewhere?
What price should I expect to pay?
Would it be better to get a different camera from Logitech or something, thats cheaper and better?

Unless you can physically examine and test an external iSight, I would not buy one now.
External iSight is a great camera, but they are getting old as electronics go, and you have no idea how the one you buy now has been used or treated by its previous owner(s).
I suggest that you buy locally and test any external iSight you are considering on your Mac before you pay for it. That way you know whether it will work, and a local seller may be able to answer questions, if any, about connecting and using iSight before you buy.
If you find one locally, use the following suggestions to test the external iSight before you buy:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
Even if the external iSight you are considering is advertised as an NOS (new, old-stock) iSight, it is not likely covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller does not provide you written service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you cannot test the iSight before you buy to be sure it is working.
If you are interested, see this example regarding using a used external iSight:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9464955
What price should I expect to pay?
Searching eBay can show you what others have paid, but I know no way to predict what you should expect.
If you consider buying an untested external iSight via an on-line auction or other internet seller, I strongly suggest that you (try to) get a written guarantee that you can have the iSight examined by your Apple Authorized Service Provider and can have a refund or exchange if the iSight doesn't pass his checks. Such a warranty might effect your purchase price.
Would it be better to get a different camera from Logitech or something, thats cheaper and better?
Yes.
That would be my recommendation. To cheaper and better, you can add is covered by a current warranty.

Your help help shall be gretaly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Get Disk Warrior that will repair the problems without requiring that you reformat the drive - $99.00 on a bootable CD. Will not work on a FAT formatted drive.
You will need to use Drag and Drop to save your files by copying them from the bad drive to a good one.
To reprep the drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

What is the frequency response for the new iPhone 5 earbuds?

I have recently purchased a new iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0.1. I was wandering about the specifications of the new earbuds. What is the frequency response? Thank you for the information.

Apple has released 2 sets of earbuds with the iPhone 5 release. There are the earpods and also the in-ear headphones. Here are the in-ear headphones: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/B/apple-in-ear-headphones-with-remote-a nd-mic?fnode=49. The frequency response on these is 5kHz-21kHz. I was unable to find the earpods response for definite but the best response I got was 30Hz-16kHz. Hope this answers your question.

What's with the obsession for the new MB Core 2 Duo?

I just don't understand why many MB users are crying about the Macbook C2D which just came out today. I don't see much of improvement of this generation compared to the 1st one. Seems to me the only major change is just the CPU, which generally gives you what, 10% of speed difference, from the reviews ive read (the advertised 25%? I don't think so.). How many of you can really tell the difference?
The performance bottleneck of the Macbook is at the graphic card, not the CPU. If Apple had released the Macbook C2D with a dedicated graphic card, even if it was just an x1300 or an old-school x300, I would say this is a great buy and I would regret for my purchase of the old macbook a few months back, too. But unfortunately, that's not what just happened.
Anyway, looking at the new macbook C2D today, I'm still quite happy with my old macbook. Not a thread of regret at all. What about you guys?

The big deal is the 64-bit capability of the new chip. Being that Leopard is being advertised as being a fully 64-bit capable OS, there's a possible performance benefit in the future, along with more RAM capacity for the Mac Pro's. As of now, there's no reason to rush out and get one if you've got an "old" model.
In fact, I'm wondering if there won't be another refresh with Leopard that offers the newer PRE-N wireless chips like in the pro models for support for the next-gen Airport. Thus, I don't think I'm going to bite on this new model. I believe the next refresh will offer a lot more in term of new features and performance.

Norway - any know what´s the delivery time for purchase new iPhone 4S?

On the web it says 1-2 weeks. Is that a reality?

Theo - while I do not live or work in your part of the country I can at least share my experience. I had a state of the art Droid Charge 4G LTE prior to getting the iPhone 4S. Keeping all things equal, when I used my Charge on 3G, which was almost the entire time I owned it, it was slower than what I am getting on my new iPhone. I was averaged .1 - ,5 down with my Charge and I am getting .5 - 1.2 down on my iPhone. I really don't know what difference location makes other than the sheer amount of people on the network, but the iPhone should outperform your old Droid.
I would recommend calling Apple Care or stopping by a genius bar at an Apple store. You could also check the download speeds of display phones at a store, then compare yours at the same time for a determination of a harware issue or data issue. I know this is some work, but it should narrow down a cause.
