When HD-DVD's come out o when BlueRay is in place will we need new burners

In particular in the G5 Dual 2.7?

For BluRay discs, absolutely! Since it has a totally different laser frequency a new drive will be needed once it's availabale along with the appropriate authoring software.
For HD-DVD, I can't say. Some manufacturers may be able to update their burners via firmware upgrades, but I doubt it. I'm sure they'd much rather sell you new gear.
Once they become available, you may want to consider purchasing an external drive/burner and leaving your current internal burner in place.

  • For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

    It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
    Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

    Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.

  • DVDs/CDs  come out jerky

    I have a 4 day old black Macbook. Is it normal for CDs and DVDs to eject with a little stutter? They go in fine, but I get worried a bit when they come out less than smooth. Is this normal with new Macbooks and will it get smoother as I use it more?

    My ibook had the same kind of hype. It was slow for cd's and dvd's to come out. I ended up eventually having to replace the optical drive because the discs ended up not coming out at all. I do find that even with the new drive, while the disc is in the machine it really isnt too quiet. Optical drive never seemed to be perfect.

  • Iphone 5s. Does it come out with a sort of film protection? My brand new Ipohne 5s seems to have a film protection on the screen.

    Hi everyone,
    I am just wondering about my brand new Iphone display. Normally, when you firstly take it out from tha box, you would remove these plastic films used to protect the front/back of th iphone.
    This is very common.
    My question is that I have notice that the screen seems to be protected by an extra film. Jut like the one you apply aftermarket to protect the screen. The only difference is that this si very well set. YOu can fell it if you try to remove with your nails but it does not come out.
    Now, am I the only one noticed this? If Apple put a film to protect the screen, I should not remove it, should not I?
    Thank for your feedback.

  • I will be traveling to Rome and Paris.  I'm concerned about frying my IPad when charging the battery.  Will I need a converter/adapter to charge the battery or do I just need an adapter.

    what RBRY says. Look at the fine print on your power brick. It says 100v-240v. This means it can handle world wattage.....both the us 110 and the UK/and other places 220. Anything that displays that range works anywhere in the world with the right plug adapter.
    You can get plug adapters at walgreens, walmart, target, kmart, best buy, office max, office depot.....almost any major retailer. Look in the travel/luggage area.
    Do some googling and find out what Italian plugs look like or you can simply find a kit that is a 'world wide' kit.

  • When I upgrade to Lion, will I need to upgrade all my Applications too?

    I'm assuming iLife and iWork and other Apple applications will work. But what about stuff like Adobe Master Suite CS5 or any games/apps I've got out of the App store? Will they provide an update to make them work on Lion or will I have to re-purchase all my software?

    I am fixing to purchase a new mac, but want to know when the new imacs come out so I won't make a purchase and the new ones drop the nest week.

    The new iMacs come out when Apple announces a release date, which they haven't yet, and no one has anyway of knowing until said announcement is made.

  • Please answer, if i buy an iPad and a newer one comes out.

    Say i were to buy the new iPad, and next year a newer iPad comes out. could i return my previous iPad and get the newer one? or what would happen? Please answer!

    no.
    Maybe if you were one of those people that bought a 2 right before the 3 came out and it fell within that 14 day return period. There may have also been cases of people benefitting from a sympathetic store manager, but I can't take my iPad 2 back to Best Buy and swap it out for a 3. THey'd laugh at me if I tried.
    In the same way you can't buy a model 2 TV and then swap it out for free for a model 3 TV a year later.
    There is no 'lifetime free upgrade to the latest hardware' option.

    I am reading this post in the iphoto for iOS forum. The iPad does not burn photos to a DVD. Perhaps you'll get some assistance if you posted in th general iPhoto forum.

    I think this post is in reference to the Lenovo Recovery DVD sets you buy to restore ThinkPads back to Factory specs with all the pre-loaded Lenovo applications.
