I already have a mid-2009 13" and 15" MBP and an iPhone 4 GSM and was considering handing off my 13" MBP to my sister and moving to an iPad and more mobile devices.
I have no idea why but Verizon iPads don't seem to be moving much in my area of Georgia (no idea why). I have the option of going out and getting a black 16gb, 32gb, or 64gb at my local PeachMac the last I checked availability a few hours ago. I checked yesterday too. They're either getting a ton of Verizon models or they aren't moving them.
Anyways... I kind of considered the Verizon iPad as an opportunity for the best of both worlds. iPhone 4 with AT&T bands while having the option to use Verizon 3G whenever I need it. Anyone else done this?
I almost did, but then I considered the reports that GSM is much faster/snappier than CDMA in real world tests.
I cant imagine a scenario where I will be somewhere that I actually need to use gsm drastically and be in such a type of rare place where Verizon gets 3G and AT%T doesnt. Im talking Verizon getting 3G, not just reception. The legendary coverage is great for phones but with 3G there probably isnt a clear advantage (ie. if AT%T has no reception at the lake, but Verizon does, its still probably just phone reception with zero 3G either way for Verizon and AT%T
And if I was at the hypothetical lake I'd probably be having fun not busy web browsing. If anything, id play something offline and enjoy iPod.
So this scenaro is a lot more rare than it might seem, but what is not rare is that speed advantage of ATT 3G. I would benefit from that advantage daily.

Hi, bought an 13" white macbook today off a friend for cheap. I knew it had issues and he said it stuck on loading. Which it does.
After reading around it appears it a common problem, but i cant get to the bottom of it.
It shows the login bit where it has the loading bar, then goes to a blue page with curser and then back to spinning wheel.
I have tried the fsck and PRAM stuff.
Just tried botting in verbose mode but it just has one line which is showing it: Login Window Application Started.
Its been like that for 10 minutes or so.
I do not have the install disks but will try and get them if he has them.
Any help?

It looks like there is possible to mount an own SSD now? didn't the last iMac require some kind of Apple supplied mountingkit which you only got when you bought the SSD option?
Yes, it SEEMS that another hard drive can now be fit under the optical drive bay without such an adapter. However, these mounting holes you can see on iFixIt are still not the standard way to attach harddrives, so some sort of adapter might still be required.
On a sidenote, when I was talking to the (very friendly) Apple store employee on the phone yesterday to order my 27" iMac, I was asking the very same question. He put me on hold to talk to a tech-guy about this issue, and came up with the response that an Apple service partner will be able to fit in an additional SSD later. I'm not too certain that this will be true, maybe he just misunderstood my question and meant that the service partner can replace the current harddisk with an SSD (instead of adding an additional one), so I'll remain sceptical.
But the iFixIt-teardown has given me hope that it might in fact be easier now to add another harddrive without BTO.

I'll try resetting both when I get home and see if it makes any discernable difference. Will Apple still cover the cracking even though AppleCare has been expired for a little over a year?
it really depends on your local apple store and the level of customer service they have. Some do out of warranty repairs like plastic damage that isn't normally covered under warranty while others are really strict with not doing any user-damage repairs even if still under warranty

Wow, that was a fast reply! Thanks!
There is something definitely wrong but I just can't put my finger on it.
Now the usage time is at 3:30 and battery is at 38%.

What happened to all the deals?
We had the $$$ off the FP screens with a PM purchase- no update to the deal, price deduction or new product after the last day of the deal.
We had the print and save- ibook/ebook/imac purchase deal- no update to this deal or price drop, product update or other promo.
Check the savings is still around- I think it is more of a sales generator for OS X.
The two software (Adobe InDesign/MS Office) deals are still good deals- but Apple could have these regardless of hardware updates.
Does this mean Status quo until January for Hardware?
Well, things are pretty quiet- kind of similar to the End of January to April period this year when the Powermacs we updated and the finally new Powerbooks showed up.
What are your throughts?

Hey guys I need your help again.
I have some footage of a friend shaving her head for cancer.
Two cameras were used to get the footage.
One was HD and the other was miniDV.
My friend was wearing an orange smock when losing the hair and because of the different formats, the oranges are different.
Is there anything simple you would suggest in order to get them relatively the same colour?
Many thanks in advance!

Using an AEBS is way overkill for what you are asking to do. Just get a decent gigabit ethernet switch.
Yep. I have This (http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Unmanaged-Auto-Negotiation-Auto-MDIX-TEG-S80G/dp/B001QUA6RA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304471134&sr=8-1) one to serve up the network connections for all my home theatre devices behind the TV. Quite fast, no setup, and saves power by scaling output according to cable length.

Hey there.
An easier way to allow other users to use applications is by going into the System Preferences (can be found in the applications folder) click on 'Accounts'. You will see a list of all users on the left hand side. click on your family member's account and go to the 'Limitations' tab. Here you can allow your family member to use selected applications, burn CDs, modify the doc etc.
Hope this helps!

Out of town and need to find somewhere to pick up the iPhone on launch day. I'm thinking of the local Walmart, but I haven't heard anything about Walmart's launch day supply. Don't want to waste my time. Perhaps AT&T is the safer bet, but who knows what their supply looks like for waiters.
Anyone local that can help?

I have dealt with Apple's warranty service and their "geniuses" on multiple occasions. To sum it up, Apple's employees will try to blame you if even the slightest thing is awry (ie a dent). I even remember hearing about a guy who brought in his PowerBook (in the PPC days) for warranty repair, and Apple denied him service because he had a sticker from an orange on the screen bezel.
I recently got a new hybrid bike (no, it is not partially electric or gasoline, it is 100% leg powered) at Sports Authority (SA for short). It was a big mistake purchasing it there instead of my local bike shop, but that's another story. SA put a Schwinn branded tire on the bike. That wouldn't be a problem if it was a Schwinn bike, and it matched the other tire. But no, my bike is a K2 bike. I took it to SA to replace the tire. Long story short: they made up some story as to why it was supposed to come with a Schwinn tire. They denied that it was even the wrong tire. Meanwhile, I contacted K2, who told me that they don't use Schwinn tires and they would be happy to replace the tires and send me better ones with reflective strips painted on the sidewalls of the tires. This was warranty service at its finest. The manufacturer of the product (the bike) not only sent me out replacement parts for something that their distributor screwed up, but they sent me nicer replacement parts than what the bike originally came with! They also expected me to replace the tires myself. This would have been a problem if I didn't have the tools and expertise to do so, but I had those so it was no problem at all. I don't recall ever having a company send me parts to fix my own product (computer, device, gadget, mechanical device, bicycle, etc).

Edit: forgot to mention that when I purchased the bike, the Schwinn logo was covered up my permanent marker, and I noticed the marker there and cleaned it off to reveal the logo. This means that someone purposely covered it up. The treads on both tires had the same pattern, but the Schwinn branded tire was 38mm wide while the rear tire was 35mm wide (correct to the bike's specs on K2's website).

Sorry to disappoint you, but "wake with trackpad" will not be possible in Lion anymore (at least, it's not meant to be). Why? Simply because the new iTunes screen saver's functions require trackpad interaction.
So no, it's not a bug.

You can install 4GB but only 3.3GB will be visible to the OS.
Does that mean the system will only utilize the ram it sees or will it use all 4gb?

I'm also not convinced that you can't control it from the iPad. On the unit I have, (when using it with my iPhone) the screen appears that way under the default setting and is controlled from the head. A simple change of the setting to "control from iPod" and the controls appear as normal.
Maybe he tries that somewhere towards the end and it fails, I dunno, I could not watch 9 minutes of that guy. :-)

Yes, legality of the pirated movies. That's what I thought that was. I've just never seen something move that quick before. I had read about this in the newspapers before, but I didn't know what it looked like. this was the only place I could think of in the search I did to ask. Thank you.
The word "pirated" is probably your best clue as to its legality or not in your jurisdiction.
It looks like a Usenet search engine.
For my money, I'd rather spend money renting a movie rather than spending hours downloading dodgy rips in obscure codecs.

who said Microsoft is not interested in developing future Mac apps?? I've said this before and I'll say it again... Office is very profitable to Microsoft, and it will be just plain stupid if Microsoft stopped developing it. And although Microsoft IS stupid in many ways, I don't think they're THAT stupid...

Thanks. That does help. One question where is the best place to sell a old computer? (eBay, Craigslist, other?) Update to drive problem: Drive has now accepted System Disk and has moved it onto the reader. However the reader seems to need lube. It's not spinning up properly. Worse however is the fact that the disk is now stuck in the drive. Manual and force ejecting raise the disk up but don't pop it out and there seems to be some thing holding the disk in the back so I can't pull it out. The mechanism that raises the disk also refuses to stay up after ejecting. It wants to slide back onto the reader immediately after it finishes rising. Help!
