Why are powerbooks still on apple's shelves?

why are the powerbook still being sold by Apple? Because they're emptying their shelves?
Or more interesting: Why would people buy a Powerbook?
I am just wondering because i am on the market to buy a laptop.
MBP are very expensive and Powerbook are not that cheap.
MBP or PB?
Any idea?

The Apple online store has not sold powerbooks (other than refurb's) since the various Intel laptops first appeared. And the retail store in Short Pump Va. hasn't had any powerbooks since shortly after the Intel machines hit the shelves.
In what Apple store have you seen new powerbooks for sale?
Macmall and other retailers still seem to have a few - and will have I suppose until thier inventory is gone. But, to my knowledge, Apple itself pulled them as soon as the respective Intel machine was available.

  • I have uninstalled, downloaded latest and installed but it still doesn't work. Why are there still files leftover even after manually removal whatever I could?

    I am a Windows 8.1 user. I have followed instructions found online. But still nothing works.
    McAfee is still saying Firefox is untrusted and will not run it.
    I have managed to delete some folders containing Firefox but there are some still remaining.
    Why?
    There was never a problem before today.

    Hi, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer this article] will help you to completely remove Firefox.
    You should ''only'' download Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Mozilla.]
    If McAfee is still not allowing it, you may need to look at the settings within McAfee.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why are my stills blurry?

    Please help wise ones. I have a problem in my timeline, after I render my project (1 hour long), a lot of stills blurred or jumped, I have to find the original still, copy & then do a paste attributes to the ones that are in the timeline. Not all stills are blurred after rendering, please help me b/c I can't always see the flawed file until I watch the output. Has anyone had this problem? I thought it was a QT issue & updated, not it. The problems are random therefor hard to figure it out. Please help with your thoughts.
    My project is using FCP6.05, I have a macbook pro, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and OSX 10.5.6

    In your Stock do you have the explanation why Apple changed the "windows resolution so you could use macbook with an external broadcast"!
    No. I don't know why Apple does what they do.
    MacBook and external broadcast? Not possible, not with HD anyway. DV? Firewire out from computer to camera or DV bridge, to monitor. HD? Broadcast monitoring? Get a professional computer.
    It he posted that he was working in a Macbook, let´s try to help him with other "could be" problems!
    That IS the problem. I just addressed WHY it looks pixelated. Because FCP doesn't present the footage full quality in the Canvas...so you can get more RT and less (none hopefully) dropped frames. Want to know what it REALLY looks like? Need the pro gear and the proper monitoring. Can't even use the MXO on the MacBooks, can you? Or is there some adapter to get DVI out? IF so, that is the solution.

  • Why are we still getting IEEE 1394a • VIA VT 6308P chipsets????!!!!

    Why is it we are still getting redundant IEEE 1394a controllers(400mb/s) on the latest motherboards rather than the newer IEEE 1394b controllers(800mb/s)? This is stupid... the 1394b ports have been around for more than 6 months, there are many supported devices for both a and b yet if you want to do b you still need an apple mac?
    Is there some sort of compatability issue with the newer IEEE 1394b controller or are the "IBM Compatible" manufacturers just too lazy/cheap/stupid to start using it??? I want answers .... I wanted to buy the new P6N Diamond (running a K9N Diamond at the moment) motherboard but am hesitant because there is no IEEE 1394b controller and i have 3 "b" devices that may as well be USB2.0 for all the use they are in conjunction with MSI motherboards... I expected more from MSI with the X-fi and everything else that is included to find that a useful and at times essential piece of technology is left out for a cheaper controller for more profit? Am I going to be forced to go to an other manufacturer for my needs or is MSI going to satisfy a loyal customer of more than 8 years? I am also the IT Manager for a medium sized building company and purchase MSI product for our work machines .... I would be saddened if I was forced to find a more suitable manufacturer due to MSI's greed?

    You should probably write a letter or send an email to MSI.
    This is a user to user forum, MSI does not monitor this forum...
    The board I purchased (975x Powerup) is an enthusiast board, generally speaking the users that purchase them are a finicky bunch. So if a motherboard doesn't support the exact graphics or sound that they require, they find one that does. Since yours is the first post that I have seen concerning IEEE 1394b support, it doesn't look to be a high priority for most users. Also, most of the MSI boards are very reasonably priced, and don't always include the latest toys. That is probably what keeps the price for these motherboards, so low.
    I may be confused about this? But I thought the P6N Diamond is an AMD Nvidia board? If it is, your may want to post your question in that section.
    Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, try writing to MSI about IEEE 1394b support, maybe they can explain why there is no support for it, or let you know when they will implement support.

  • Why are apps still running?

    Why is it that even after I shut off the phone and turn it back on, there are still apps in the multitasking pane? Shouldn't all of the apps have closed when the phone was shut off?

    Location apps will turn themselves back on when the phone is restarted.
    For further clarification, this and Google may help a bit.

  • Why are my (still) photos pixellated when I make a slideshow in iDVD?

    I have made a slideshow of (jpeg) photographic images to play on a DVD (via a TV set). However, they now seem to be playing as pixellated photos, both on my laptop and on the tv screen... it seems to have degraded the images

    ink...
    DVD are presently low resolution devices - NTSC is less than 640x490 pixels and your PAL discs are less than 768x576 pixels - probably 8 to 10 times lower resolution than your original digital images.
    See Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for suggestions on the still image resolution to use.
    By the way, did you bring the images directly into iDVD or were they exported from iPhoto?

  • Why are people still using a browser that wants to censor any views with which it does not agree?

    Mozilla drives out its CEO because he contributed $1000 to support a particular law in 2008 . Then it claims it values diversity. We all know that censors like Mozilla have NO place on the Internet --so PLEASE BOYCOTT MOZILLA --please fight for what little freedom we still have to hold differing views.

    Hi FirstAmendment,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla about this issue and taking the time to share your thoughts.
    The decision to step down was made by Brendan. Since the moment Brendan was appointed, free and open discussion has come from a diverse spectrum of viewpoints. Mozilla is an organization that believes in openness and that no one should be persecuted for the beliefs they hold, no matter what those beliefs are. We believe in unconditional freedom and openness. That's why we support rights for everyone.
    As this is the Firefox support forum I can only help with questions related to the specific product. If you need more info about Mozilla's CEO you can check the resources below:

  • Why are we still dependant on Camera Raw to get Smart Objects?

    I've been a professional user of both Photoshop and Lightroom since they were created and feel that I'm either missing something simple or maybe just asking too much, but can someone from the engineering team please tell me why we still have to rely on Camera Raw plugins to open the file either directly or as a Smart Object into Photoshop?
    It would seem to me that Lightroom should be able to handle the round-trip conversion from Lightroom files to Photoshop Smart Objects and any future edits back in Lightroom. The only reason I can honestly see for the reliance on Camera Raw is to keep us upgrading Photoshop - something I'm sure Adobe would like us to do on a regular basis but in the current economic climate is not always possible.
    I want to keep updating Lightroom to ensure the best possible conversions for my clients but don't see why I have to keep upgrading Photoshop to keep Camera Raw up to date when CS5 does everything I currently does everything I currently need. Maybe I'll be proven wrong but I'm guessing this is the way we're heading with the release of Camera Raw 7 along with Lightroom 4. Please tell me if I'm wrong!

    Situation 2 - Current Situation
    We have Photoshop and compatible versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom installed.
    I can open a raw image from Lightroom into Photoshop using the "Open in Photoshop as Smart Object" option.
    This works fine but when I double-click on the Smart Object it opens back in Camera Raw for editing.
    I'd always presumed that Lightroom carried out the conversion rather than Camera Raw in this situation before handing off the data to Photoshop to form the Smart Object. Have I been incorrect in my presumption?
    That's where your assumption was wrong...as long as LR & ACR is in lockstep, LR hands off the image to ACR. An ACR Smart Object needs to use ACR to allow editing of the SO. That is a function of ACR and Photoshop. Lightroom can't do a SO because, well, SO's are a function of Photoshop, not Lightroom.

    This doesn't rely on Camera Raw to hand-off the data to Photoshop and form the Smart Object as Lightroom is capable of the same type of conversion on it's own. Double-clicking on the Smart Object should then re-open the image in Lightroom (as that's where it came from originally) and allow all the editing that we've come to expect in Lightroom.
    Ain't gonna happen because Lightroom can't handle the Photoshop Smart Object SDK...and since the actual rendering of ACR/LR is the same (for the same version) it's a moot point.

    Ignoring the economics of having to update Photoshop as I know Adobe (and probably Jeff as well ) would like us all to be running the latest version of Photoshop and payout for the updates as soon as they come around, I would think this would be a more sensible option for the future as it would allow more people to keep their existing version of Photoshop, which they've tweaked, wrote actions for and is working very nicely at the moment thankyou while exploring the benefits of the new-and-improved Lightroom.
    I really don't have a dog in this hunt–obviously, I always upgrade the moment an upgrade is available...but there are technical limitations (see above) that preclude what you think you want. As far as the economics, a $99 LR upgrade and a $199 Photoshop upgrade ever two years doesn't seem to be a huge hurdle. Add up the LR & PS upgrades and you get a cost of about $12.50/month over the 24 months...yes, it's an added cost but if you want the best user experience and usability it makes sense to keep LR & Photoshop/ACR in sync. You aren't FORCED to upgrade Photoshop...LR4 will work as far back as Photoshop CS3 (not sure about CS2). But then you are locked into the LR processed approach because older versions of ACR can't process the newer versions of LR processing controls.

  • Why are video stills showing as artwork in music app?

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 5s with the latest iOS.
    I have iTunes set to not transfer music videos to my iPhone because a few of my albums came with free music videos. However, really annoyingly, my iPhone is showing a still from one of the videos in the album as the artwork for the whole album in both album view and the tiles when you turn the phone.  But not when you play an actual song from the album.  How do I get it to stop doing this?
    I have edited all of the albums with videos in iTunes so that they all have the same artwork for each file.  I synced everything and it made no difference.  So i deleted all of the songs from my iPhone and resynced all 4gb back to the iPhone and it made no difference.  I've deleted the music videos from iTunes and deleted all the songs from my iPhone and resynced them all a second time and it has made no difference.  I just dont get how if I dont have the videos in iTunes and I dont have it set to sync videos anyways, that the video stills will still show as the album artwork in "coverflow" and the albums tab on the iPhone.
    Hope someone can help me out because the video stills are meaningless when trying to quickly find an album.
    Thanks.

    I checked each song file in each album individually to make sure it had the appropriate album artwork and I applied the artwork to the video files as well (before I took the decision to delete them entirely).
    I also did the "clear artwork" option but it didnt clear anything because the artwork is the artwork provided by apple store rather than my own that I have added in.
    So in essence, I tried both the suggestions at various points and neither worked

  • Why are iPhones still shipping out of China?

    Does Apple not keep a stock of iPhones in the US for shipment? I realize they are built over seas (what isn't these days) but to carry no stock for shipping in the states is ridiculous and just adds to the shipping times.

    ???
    They do stock them at Apple, AT&T, VZW, etc... you can walk in and buy them.
    Regarding shipping direct to customer, why ship and handle them twice when shipping is relatively quick, cheap and reliable? Handling and shipping twice would probably add cost to the iPhone via additional insurance, storage, overhead, etc. It's likely only a few days extra but if you need it now, go buy one at Apple, AT&T, VZW, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.

  • Why are albums still not sorted alphabetically?

    iPhoto 11, v. 9.4.2
    Hello all,
    I am running Lion Server and I share the server's iPhoto Library (source lib) on the local LAN.
    When other Macs access the iPhoto Library the albums that are alphabetically sorted on the server are displayed randomly on the "client" Macs.
    I prefixed all albums with a date such as 2012 12.
    In the last few years Apple has introduced a whole range of new features (faces, places, events etc.) but this vexing issue hs not been not resolved for many years.
    Or is it me who is missing an option ?
    Thank for your suggestions,
    Twistan

    Only Apple can answer that kind of question.

  • Why are my still images Blurry when applying effects?

    I am creating a slideshow video using images with up to 18mp.  The images look wonderful clear and sharp until I try and add video effects to the slide, like zooming in or panning. 
    I am a user of both CS5.5 at work and newly acquired CS6 for home.  I like what I have been able to do, however this makes me very frustrated when everything looks good except for the images with effects.  Should I be applying effects differently?  or what?
    Thanks,

    >Didn't mean to start an argument
    = Little Devil with a Grin !!!
    Stick around for awhile... there is OFTEN a good deal of "healthy discussion" (ie-disagreement) that goes on here
    That discussion brings out a LOT of different experiences (you say X doesn't work... but it works just fine for "me") that sometimes, maybe even often, leads to increased and/or new knowledge for everyone
    Other times, you just need to realize that what works for "me" may, or may not, work for "you" exactly the same way based on your work flow
    Read what everyone offers, try what you can... and make LOTS of notes so, over time, you will develop work practices that work best for you
    Personal example...
    Many people export out of PPro as MPEG2-DVD to then use Encore to author a DVD
    My PERSONAL work flow is to export my AVCHD edits to Widescreen DV AVI to give to Encore... so I may use Encore's Automatic Transcoding setting to make a "best" fit of video length to size (single or dual layer) of DVD
    This is because I just don't care to get into all the details of figuring out the PPro settings when exporting... I let Encore do all the math for me
    That process works just fine for me... other people want to figure out their own math for the PPro export settings
    I say what I do, and why, but I certainly do not TELL anyone else that they MUST do it my way

  • Why are Apps still not syncing between my iPhone 4S and iPad 4?

    I have a new iPad 4 and I also have an iPhone 4S.  I have enabled 'Automatic Downloads' on both, but for some reason, I can download Apps on one device and they're not showing up on the other.  The only thing I can figure is that maybe some of the Apps downloaded on the iPad, for example, aren't compatible with the iPhone 4S and therefore they don't automatically download.  Or, and I hope note, there's a glitch in the system :-(
    I like to have all my stuff sync'd to the extent possible, but this automated App synchronization doesn't really seem to be happening as advertised.
    And yes, I did go into iTunes on my PC and enable the automatic downloads there as well on the Preferences tab.
    Some example Apps that didn't download from my iPad to my iPhone are USA Today, Men's Health Mag, UPS and Quick Scan barcode scanner.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    I may recall that you might have to charge your device in order for the automatic download to work. But I'm not 100% sure, it is worth trying out.

  • Why are there still preinstalled MD2 Root Certs from verisign with FF3,4,5 ?

    Hi,
    i added a verisign root certificate in the troubleshooting section.
    This cert is signed with an md2 hashing algorithm, as mentioned on the 26c3 in berlin 2009.
    It's still enabled by default for WEB, Email and other.
    I strongly suggest to remove it, like anyone else did.
    Interesstingly, the cryto shell extention from windows says sha1 , but openssl does not mention sha1 at all. I think openssl is right :)

    Do those certificates have a SHA1 fingerprint?
    I do not think that Firefox will use the MD5 (MD2?) fingerprint if that is the case.
