Will the Touch 5th gen be faster than the 4th gen?

What I mean is will the ipod touch 5th gen be able to handle iOS 6 without lagging? That is my main gripe with my 4th gen ipod touch. iOS 5 is so sluggish on it! It takes several swipes to change menus, half the time it doesn't respond, and when it finally does respond and switch from one menu screen to the next it really lags while doing it. Apps tend to lag a lot also. It can't be because I have the ipod full because I removed everything and reset it and it still was sluggish after resetting it. I swear at times it's slower than my LG Android and that thing is slow! This is my main reason for wanting to upgrade to the 5th gen. I don't want to deal with lagging anymore.

yes, it has a better core, just go to apple.com and compare them

  • The 15-inch unibody is faster than the 17-inch unibody flagship?

    Macworld benchmarks has the 15 edging out the 17.
    And that is Before yesterday's speedbump for the 15.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/139139/2009/03/unibody17_inch_macbookpro.html
    When they remeasure, will the 15 be substantially faster than the 17-inch flagship?

    Historically, the 17-inch has been faster and better in many ways.
    I'm sorry, but this is simply incorrect. I will present for you the following specifications from every MBP revision. All specifications represent the high-end 15" and stock 17" of the time which are the two models we are comparing here.
    MacBook Pro (Early 2006, Original Revision)
    15.4"/2.16 Ghz (CTO)/1 GB RAM/100GB/256 MB VRAM/$2499
    17"/2.16 Ghz/1 GB RAM/120 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/$2799
    Macbook Pro (Late 2006)
    15.4"/2.33 GHz/2 GB RAM/120 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/$2499
    17"/2.33 GHz/2 GB RAM/160 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/$2799
    Macbook Pro (Mid 2007)
    15.4"/2.4 GHz/2 GB RAM/160 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/$2499
    17"/2.4 GHz/2 GB RAM/160 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/$2799
    Macbook Pro (Early 2008)
    15.4"/2.5 GHz/6 MB L2/2 GB RAM/250 GB HD/512 MB VRAM/$2499
    17"/2.5 GHz/6 MB L2/2 GB RAM/250 GB HD/512 MB VRAM/$2799
    I think it is pretty evident that in terms of clockspeed, RAM, and VRAM the 15" and 17" have never been too far apart. I don't think 20-40GB of HD space is all that big a deal. Yes, the 17" has had an extra USB/FW port. I don't know if these things qualify as "faster and better in many ways" though. Really, the most significant way that the 17" was "better" was the screen size and resolution as has already been mentioned. Things are no different now than they've been for the last three years. I don't know what they were like in the PPC days because I don't have time to look back that far, but I don't think it matters.
    In fact it's slower, and will seem even slower with the 15's speed bump.
    It's not slow at all. In fact, it's one of the fastest notebooks that you can buy at all right now. We have already pointed out that you shouldn't take the benchmarks seriously because they have absolutely no statistical significance.
    These things are not going to change. If you need the notebook now, you should buy it. If you don't need it, then wait. If you don't want it, then buy something else.

  • When will Ipod Touch 5th generation be available for selling in the Philippines?

    Just want to know when will Ipod Touch 5th gen be availabe here in the Philippines.
    I really don't have any idea when it will be released here since I do not know
    how Apple manages product releases into different countries here in Asia.

    What does the Philippens Apple store say? As far as I know the 5G willbe avaialbe every bode that same time as in the USA.  Apple says:
    The new iPod touch, starting at $299 (U.S.), is available for pre-order at the Apple Online Store on September 14 and arrives in Apple Retail Stores in October.

  • Is the Facetime experience with an iPad 3 better with the Touch 5th gen over a 4th gen?

    I want to buy an ipod touch to use Facetime with my wife as she has the iPad 3.
    I intend to use the iPod touch for the following reasons:
    60% - Facetime to an iPad 3 (iOS6)
    25% - Rear camera for photos/video
    10% - Music/Apps
    5% - Other
    I've briefly introduced myself to Facetime at an apple store when it was first introduced but never physically seen it in use outside an apple store.
    I'm trying to justify why I should buy a 5th gen 32GB touch over a 4th gen 8GB. I'm GUESSING the REFURB 5th gens, when its released from the apple store, will go for $249CAN instead of $299CAN; a 92%/$120 price difference over the 4th gen refurb ($129CAN). 
    Just so you're aware, I could easily justify buying a 5th gen 32GB refurb $249CAN over a 4th gen 32GB refurb $179CAN.
    Besides the obvious (hard drive space, camera resolutions, future iOS upgrades, etc.) is the Facetime experience with an iPad 3 better with the Touch 5th gen over a 4th gen?
    Much appreciated in advance.

  • Will my duel 800 G4 work with Leopard? Its fast than the 867 G4?

    My duel 800 G4 was the top of the line when I purchased it, much faster than the 867 G4, which seems to be the limit on the new Leopard operating system. Will I still be able to upgrade? I have seen on other Apple forums many people asking the same question? I would appreciate any help.

    Well, the minimum system requirements that Apple tells us really aren't always totally truthful. For example, they say OS 10.4 needs a minimum 256 MB Ram, and a DVD drive. That isn't true. I have tested this on a few different machines and found that the true minimum requirements are 192 MB for installation, 128 MB for running. On an ibook G3 500 mhz with 128 MB RAM, 10.4 ran surprisingly well. It was a little laggy of course, but it was stable and reliable. Also, you do not need a DVD drive, as you can use target disk mode to install the system from another computer (yes, the other computer needs a dvd drive...but I am speaking in specifics). What they say in their requirements is for the general public, but most of the time they aren't entirely dogmatic on those requirements.
    If it were my guess, I would say 10.5 will probably run on your system. If they entirely cutoff installation based on clockspeed, I'm guessing some mac-hacker will figure it out.
    Also, as far as your computer being top of the line "when you bought it"-that's the issue. Basically everyone's mac was top of line or near top of the line at it's release. But we all know the computer industry is not a slow moving market. Your computer can be outdated in a few months or a year. I helped a guy buy his first mac a few months ago (imac). 2 days later Apple released the new imac. That's the nature of computers. And you really can't expect Apple to keep supporting machines approaching 7 years old (my ol' Gigabit). They want to be at the head of the market, and pushing the old out is some times the only way to do it.
    You always have the option to upgrade your system. Go and look at some cpu upgrade cards. They aren't all that expensive. For $400 I turned my dual 450 to a dual 1.4 Ghz (and don't forget the level 3 cache). Third party upgrades are what keep us old timers goin.

  • HT1430 Ipod touch (5th generation) w/ lines across the screen - now dead.

    My son's Ipod touch (5th generation) had lines across the screen. I turned it off using the home + on/off button reset, but the apple never came back on. Now it seems to be dead. Not dropped, not completely drained, no water damage. Just dead. Any ideas?
    I have also tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro, and iTunes does not find it.
    ITunes is up to date.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is the Core i7 processor comparable, much slower, or faster than the 2.8 Ghz core 2 duo from 2009?

    I am looking to get a new MacBook Air, but when looking at the prices I am seeing the MacBook Pro 13" for the same price and a lot more guts (RAM and Processor).  I am ok with spending the amount of money on the air if it means I get a computer that is like my iPad, which i love (flash based, snappy), but don't want it to be super slow.
    I am coming off of a 17" 2.8Ghz MacBook Pro from 2009.  I was happy with the speed and power of that machine.  The most taxing thing I did was make a complilation of family movies in iMovie and burned them with iDVD once in the 2 years of ownership. 
    I mostly browse the internet and compose written documents, and keynote presentations.
    I know my questions may seem stupid, but I don't know how significant the changes between i7 and Core 2 Duo are, so I ask the question:
    I am wondering if the processing power in the core i7 will be somewhat comparable, much slower, or faster than the 2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo I had in my 2009 computer?
    Thanks for any help!!

    Hi brosephb,
    Like you I went through a similar comparison process. I bought the MacBook air 13" and up specced the processor and memory. I don't do anything taxing enough or frequently enough to NEED the extra power of the MacBook pro.
    I am overjoyed at my air. It's gorgeous, the way it wakes instantly, it's speed and it's portableness is so endearing that I just don't use my iPad anymore. I read numerous reviews on it and the overwhelming opinion was it's addictive ease of use because of it's slim, light and rapid waking. At work I can hold the air with one hand, open it rapidly at will. It's just great but it's made my iPad redundant (for me anyway).
    I see the new airs are even faster and I'm tempted to consider selling my 6 month old air and getting the new one, but, it runs a dream so I am happy to just be envious of the new one.
    In short, unless you need the power (for your work) go for the air. I'm looking at a new iMac to use as a home work station. For the price of a new air I can get an iMac that will swallow any task for a good few years to come. And my air will suffice as my mobile companion. However, that's just me spoiling myself as, at the moment, I have no teal need for another mac. I may get the cinema display for any long winded tasks, as the screen size will help with multiple tasking.
    A bit of a ramble, hope this is useful.

  • Audigy2 NX :Sampled audio is faster than the origi

    Sampled audio at 6 bits is faster than the original soundtrack
    I'm using Sonar 2.2 and when I use My Audigy 2NX USB2 with 2 audio tracks,
    I'm recording on the second one while listening the first one :
    -No problem with my AC/97 sound card
    - Problem occur with my audigy 2 NX (Sampled audio becomes faster (Timing not adequate) while listening to the recording , the first 0 seconds seems in exact timing, then after I feel that the recorded begins to take speed and then ends second before the track one !!!
    I Solved the problem partially by using CoolEdit instead of Sonar and in the Setting-Multitrack Tab, i activated "correct for drift in recording"
    Please Help !!!

    First try to play your video on the PC. Use Quicktime 7 and it should work.
    If it does the same thing on the PC then the video encoding has created this problem. Nothing wrong in the phone. You will need to re-encode. May I enquire as to which software you are using to encode?
    If it plays correctly on the PC then your best bet is to lower the bitrate or the frame rate of the video, re-encode, transfer and try again.
    I recommend using h263 as the video codec as this will be "safer" to use. Try 3gp extension format as well.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Something faster than the Elgato Turbo?

    - Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Try making a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod  under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
    - Connect your new iPod and restore the iPod from that backup if you wish.

  • Is the iPad 3 faster than the iPad 2?

    Hi,
        Is the iPad 3 faster than the iPad 2? Also, how much better resolution is the iPad 3 from the iPad 2? I was just wondering because I heard that the new iPad isn't worth it's price.

    The New iPad is not remarkably faster, but does have a faster chip, which is required to handle the amazing Retina display.  The new display on New iPad is without question significatly better than iPad 2 and offers nearly 4 times the resolution of iPad 2.  Whether it's important to you, only you can know.  To see the difference, go to an Apple store where they still sell iPad 2 and New iPad.  For me, the difference was night and day, which is why I sold my iPad 2 and upgraded to New iPad.

  • How we will know that dimension size is more than the fact table size?

    how we will know that dimension size is more than the fact table size?

    Hi,
    Let us assume that we are going to take Division and distribution channel in a dimension and assume we have 20 distinct values for Division in R/3 and 30 Distinct values for Distribution channel .So Maximum, we can get 20 * 30 records in dimension table and we can take rough estimation of records in the cube by observing the raw data in source system.
