Xperia Z1 vs. Z1s or should I just wait for Z2?
Hi everyone,
So I am thinking of getting an Xperia phone, I am a huge Android fan, never used a Sony phone before and currently having a Galaxy S4. I am attracted to Xperia's configuration and wanting to giving it a try. However, I am not sure which one should I pick. Here are couples of questions I am having in mind. Maybe you all can help me decide. Thanks a bunch!!!!
1. Between Z1 and Z1s, which one I am better off with? I know there aren't much differences between them but if I was to go with Z1, will I get LTE 4G network with Tmobile since it is an unlocked phone? I really like the varieties of color choices and I love the purple version.
2. Between Z1 and Z2, since Z2 is coming out soon, should I just wait for it? However, I am hearing rumors that the Z2 won't be launching in the US for a while. Any insider scoops?
Thanks for all of your advices
If you live in the US,I think it will be a little more until Z2 hits the market there.But if you were to choose between Z1/Z1s,there should not be any big difference.The specs are the same,but the Z1s has more internal storage.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

My friend needs to upgrade to Yosemite but her network is faulty. I told her I would upgrade for her on my network. I don't have her Apple password at this time so I thought I would use mine. Is it possible to use my password and ID for this download?
She gave me her ID so everything is going as it should. That's what I thought but in a moment of wait I thought I would ask.
Many thanks, -
iPhoto has always been slow and less than reliable to use. Have never updated it because of concerns with updates. Will current pics in iPhoto get transferred to new Photos app with OS X Yosemite somehow or will I be stuck using both apps?
I do experience slowness/unresponsiveness and freezing in iPhoto,
Two points:
1. These sound like a damaged Library file and you might try repairing it.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
and from reading numerous posts, I am quite certain that many users have had similar experiences.
The problem with this is that the folks who don't have any problems never post, so you're working from a skewed sample.

Hi,
I installed 11.2.2.3 2 days ago and have since then not been able to sync my iPod Classic (not recognized by iTunes anymore and alll data has been wiped but show up in Win explorer when in Disk mode with my label on it "Nik's iPod") my old iPod Touch appear to have all data left but doesn't communicate with my car anymore.
Nedless to say none of the other Apple devices in our house will be updated or connected until this is resolved.
Is this related to the iTunes update?
If so should I just wait for a new update to come out that can help me get these things sorted?
I have tried most of the different remedies listed in this forum to no avail and being computer illiterate (not comepletely but anyway) I just want to know if this is a known problem that I can successfully fix with a bit of fiddling or if its time to seek out a genius bar somewhere and get some help.
NikHi Jeff,
Thanks for the help but I am unfortunately still not able to get my iPod Classic to connect. I have tried all the tricks in the article that you linked to.
One thing is that when I reset the iPod (menu and center until the logo pops up) I get a critical error in iTunes and it shuts down. Could that indicate that my problem is with the iTunes installation rather than the iPod?
I have tried to re-install iTunes before but maybe I shpuld give it a go again?
Brgds,

Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?
What kind of noise?
The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

Can my iWeb '08 site be fixed,or do I need to just wait for an iWeb update?
Ever since my "upgrade" to iWeb '08, the text in my webpages does not appear. I haven't changed any fonts or colors. I have had to put my website back to it's iWeb '06 version.
Cyclosaurus mentioned that my "text box elements has attribute style.visibility set to hidden" and that I might be able to correct it if I were javascript saavy, I should be able to turn visibility attribute to visible with a few lines of javascript.
How do I do this? Does anyone know any quick javascript that I could cut-and-paste, maybe within an iWeb HTML Widget, that could counteract the "attribute style.visibility set to hidden"? Perhaps I can do this until Apple fixes this Bug/Glitch in iWeb '08.
Can my iWeb '08 site be fixed,or do I need to just wait for an iWeb update? Please help.
Thanks.

Left my macbook air to dry over night then turned it on, should i keep waiting for it to dry?
I accidentally left the cap of my water bottle open then threw it on my bed, the next minute a small puddle had surrounded my macbook air, so i took it immediately and shut it down. I waited for it to dry over night so then this morning i decided to try to turn it on but it wouldnt turn on at all! just should i keep waiting for it to dry then turn it on or is there no chance at all!
Also i have not yet told my parents because they would kill me as they got me this macbook as a well-done-on-your-grades reward!I understand and sympathize with you.
But from a technical point of view, liquid damage is progressive.
If I had other helpful tips, I would have shared those with you.
Best. -
Is it recommended to run beta software in general or just wait for a stable update in Lion 10.7 ?
Is it recommended to run beta software in general or just wait for a stable update to make sure the Lion system in general ok ??
What do you all suggest ?
Example:
Google Chrome has 13.0.782.112 Stable and 14.0.835.94 Beta on Macupdate: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/32956/google-chrome
Evernote has 2.2.3 Stable and 3.0.0 Beta 4 for Lion compatible.Always have back-ups.
It maybe if you have a window of oppurtunity, go for it.

Should I have waited for the thunderbolt imac?
This year, a few weeks before the 2011 imac came out I bought a new imac 2010. I loved using my new imac compared to old macintoshes. (imac g3 mouse night mare). I then heard that a few weeks after the purchase of my new imac that a new imac came out-with thunderbolt.
As a video editor for my show I was wondering if thunderbolt is important. Do I absolutely need to have thunderbolt? Will every device require thunderbolt?
As you can't modify or add internal hardware to an imac, I'm wondering if should I will regret my decision to buy a new imac just before a new version came out. But then again, I feel like everytime I buy something from my favourite IT company Apple is great when you first use it, but feels like an expensive paperweight when a new apple product comes out. (think apple ipods). So, should I have waited?At least for now there are no Thunderbolt peripherals available. And the first ones that will come will most likely cost more then any USB/FireWire variant they have now.
So Thunderbolt will become (hopefully) more important in about 1/2 years from now. Unless you want to be one of the firsts and prepared to the premium price.
For instance Lacie announced a Thunderbolt diskdrive. But to make sure that the disk can also write/read at the massive speeds that Thunderbolt is promising, they realized that this disk must be SSD. Of course an SSD disk is not bad at all, but it still very expensive. -
Should I have waited for the Clovertowns?
I have ordered a mid-range MP with the X1900. .. knowing that the quad chips will be here at year end. Typically, I would expect to see Apple turn the high end into a Dual-Quad and keep the lower 2 at single quads...for a while..then make the mid a dual quad also.
But this is new territory and I'm wondering if you guys think the quads will be available beginning of year..low/mid and high.
Should I have waited...:) or do we actually think Apple is going to release a firmware update down the road that will allow us to upgrade these first towers??
12 PB Mac OS X (10.4.7)As far as I understand it the Clovertown processors, due to Intel rush to be moving forward, are not a true quad-core processor rather two dual-core processors on the same die. While having an 8-core system does sound pretty cool the real performance benefits of 4 more cores is at the moment debateable.
Should you have waited? Probably not. By waiting you'll be pushing back your purchase a minimum of 6 months, which is assuming a quad-core processor make it into the next Mac Pro, which means you'll be with a Mac Pro for that time. Put a price on that.
I remember the large number of people who were waiting on PowerBook G5s… the ones that never appeared. There's always something better around the corner and it really comes down to how many corners you're prepared to go around. I know for myself I wasn't prepared to wait till next year to buy a Mac Pro even though it's made me buy a first revision. -
16gb or 32 gb air,or should I just go for the 32gb mini with retina display
I am planning to get my 1st ipad,mainly used for study notes and some games but i cant choose between a 16gb air or the 32 gb version?
the 32gb version is kind of expensive,is 16gb enough?
not really going to use it for music
do IOS update take a lot of memory as the IOS 8 is coming soon,surely there will be a lot of updatingBased on what you describe, a 16GB iPad is probably adequate. A 16GB iPad, with the preinstalled apps and iOS, has about 13.5GB of free storage space. iOS 8 will require approx the same storage space as the current iOS 7.x.

Should I just wait untill the Intel Mini's are out to make the switch over?
I have been somewhat active on this board for the last month or so looking at the Apple Mini. I want a computer that never really slows down, or crashes a lot. Also, I want a computer that can do some light video editing, and some light gaming (think: Battlefield 1942!).. I'm thinking about waiting till the New Intel Mini's come out but I really don't know when that will be! I don't know if I can hold on for 8 more months with this crappy thing they call an OPERATING SYSTEM.
Do you guys know when the Intel's are coming out? When they do, thats when I might make the switch from XP to mac OX.
Thank you all!Though a bit belatedly, I thought it might be worth pointing out an issue that ought to cross the minds of those considering buying a mini but not sure whether to wait for the Intel models or not.
Aside from the fact that no-one knows when the Intel minis will be announced and what specs (thus performance) they will have, and the fact that as soon as the first models are out, there will be a tendency to want to wait until the next revision for the 'rev.a' bugs to get ironed out and some speed bumps ironed in, one important extra consideration is the software that's intended to be run.
All software at this time is G4 compatible, and many titles are either already in universal binary, or about to be so, thus would run natively on an Intel-mini. But some, Adobe CS and Microsoft Office (to name a couple of significant examples) are not universal yet, and while they likely will become so, it's not at all clear when. Until they ARE universal, those apps will run in emulation on an intel Mac, and performance is not reported to be stellar.
So I'd suggest to anyone considering the issues, to look at the titles you want to run, and make sure all the important ones are Intel-native already, or going to become so very soon. If they are, then waiting for an Intel mini is perfectly reasonable as long as you don't have any immediate need and can wait however long it takes. But if any crucial apps are PPC only and likely to stay that way, I'd buy a G4-powered mini while they're still available, and trade it later when the crucial apps go Universal and the Intel models have settled down. -

Should I keep waiting for the Burn to complete?
I Have a 2 hour movie in iDVD 5.0.1 with theme (The rear window of a car) and Scene selection etc. It cranked through :
1. Prepare
2. Process Menus
3. Process Slideshows
4. Process Movies
this all took 9 or 10 hours
5. BURN - Retrieving and Preparing Project .
This has been on the last 1/8 of an inch of the progress bar for 36 hours.
The Burn icon in the lower right is still spinning.
When I hit the Force Quit it DOES NOT say it is not responding as I have seen in the past.
Do I keep going or start over? I have iDVD 6 on an exterbal HD, I could try or maybe a different theme in iDVD 5.
One more thing, I have Burned this iMovie in Toast in 9 hours and I am using a TDK DVD+R DL. I burned with toast on a Verbatim but that obviously did not have the iDVD theme I wanted. I have TDK , Memorex and Verbatim DVD+R DL.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
LargeALBengt,
I have not been able to burn an iDVD yet in iDVD 5 or iDVD 6.
I suspected the length was just a bit too long (2hours 20 min) but I can burn in Toast all day long. It is much simpilar themes etc , but still Toast crank it out on 8 hours.
One othe question: If the burn never completes and I force quit after days is mt DVD+R DL still burnable? Is the dic unusable?
I have and awesome looking movie in iDVD/iMovie and would really like to burn it. Should I split it up into 1.5 hour chuncks? I hate to do that but I have spent weeks off and on trying to burn in iDVD. -
How can I make Process.waitFor() just wait for a limited period?
For example,
Process prc=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
prc.waitFor(some seconds);
if(prc.exitValue() != 0){
// the subprocess hadn't terminated normally in some seconds,
// so just forcilly kill it.
prc.destroy();
Is there any way to do this?waitFor does not have a timeout parameter, but you can start a Timer or thread to interrupt your waiting thread when the timeout expires. Then, waitFor will end, throwing an InterruptedException that you can catch.
