Thanks. Is there a particular reason it did it though?
Who knows? I wouldn't worry about it, unless it happens frequently.

lmao no chance they will give an ipad lol.. i dont even need that ipod touch thats why im not gonna wait for that deal to come and im gonna buy the imac this saturday.
Besides its not like its FREE, you got to pay for it, then wait to receive the rabate and u lose $20 cuz they dont return you the money u paid for the tax.
It seems like hassle for me but i mean if the deal was going on now or this weekend i would have swung for it but to wait 3 weeks for it and then another month to get the rebate back, besides ill need another $230 bucks on purchase day on the spot to pay for the ipod, u get my point but thats only me.
this saturday is gonna be a good day ;)

Hi, I am trying to help someone that is a newbie on a G5 Tower 10.5.8 who wants to watch some avi films.
I only started with a MBP when I bought my recent one 1.5 years ago.
Before that i was on windows and could fix most things but i am unfamiliar with Macs of that age.
I was telling him to download VLC assuming he had a newer one until he told me the error message, that his architecture wasnt right, at which point i asked him for his OS number and discovered how old it was.
Bearing in mind i am dealing with someone who has very little tech experience, I dont want him to get frustrated which he will easily do so I want to check my facts before passing them on to him.
I understand VLC had an issue with 10.5.8 if I read this page and do another quick search on Google.
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=82230
So I may have to tell him to download a compatible VLC and hopefully at worst lead him through he fix on this page to get it working.
If anyone is familiar with this and can offer advice beforehand, I would be grateful.
Otherwise, is there another program that plays .avi formats on an earlier Mac, such as 10.5.8, preferably one that doesn't have to download codecs.
I want to make this as easy as possible for him.
If any other such programs can be used, please let me know what they might be
TIA

There were several stories on that a while back. (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=google+dns+slow+apple+downloads&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)Don't recall the outcome.
FWIW, I'm on OpenDNS and I just installed Tiger from scratch on 2 machines and downloads were very fast.

If you're looking for something else besides that, I'll have to check when I get home from work.

I have a 08 iMac and a new MBA. I use my MBA 95% of the time. Having a iPad and MBA seems more odd then a iPad and iMac. Since you are getting a free ipad I would consider pairing it with the iMac. My 2nd choice would be the Ipad+MBA+24" Dell display. Again this is just personal preference and it is really what you want :D
Thanks I think I'll stick with ur choice - ipad&imac

AAPL up 3% aftermarket.
I think that was pre-announcement. I read where trading was halted until 4:50 EDT. Still have 7 minutes to see if the "soft" iPad numbers cause the weak hands to sell.
I'm guessing that Apple will drop about 3% from the 4PM close with people focusing on the iPad numbers.
Guess I was completely wrong.

With all the proper drivers, it will run 3ds max like any other computer with the same specs. There should be no decrease.
Out of curiosity, I once ran 3ds max in a VM on my 2007 iMac and it performed quite well with a scene with over 1 million polygons (DS9 mesh).

I do not disagree with you. I should have said for "my real work". Obviously there are activities that require mobile computing and can be handled by a phone, tablet, netbook etc. just fine.
Sorry - it wasn't aimed at you in particular. Rather, at the hordes of people who seem to think small notebooks and tablets - Apple ones in particular :) - are only for consumption. A later poster put it perfectly: the market has evolved, not the computers. In practical terms, as a business traveller, this suggests to me that I'll see fewer and fewer guys in suits schlepping gigantic Dell laptops with power bricks the size of small houses, and using them solely for Word and Outlook.

-Gapless
-Sound Check? (I dont remember seeing that on the ipod, was it there before?)

Another stunning set of results, only thing that anyone might nitpick is iPad sales but considering some were holding on for the iPad 2 and that product was DEFINITELY supply-limited it's still a superb performance and more than doubles their PC sales. Decimates the rest of the tablet space that's for sure and the q3 performance is going to be VERY interesting.

It's basic but very functional. Hell I've seen commercial games use free packages like SFXR and Modplug Tracker. I've used Garageband for my commercial projects too (all midi, no loops or anything) since I haven't learned how to use Logic yet.
Just don't use loops and try to customise the sound as much as you can.

ok so in itunes if I "convert to aac" is that taking my 320 and breaking it down?
I don't understand the last part, but I presume you meant to ask how iTunes transcodes to 320Kbit/s? Go to Preferences in iTunes like shown here (http://ipod.about.com/od/introductiontoitunes/ss/importsettings.htm) and select AAC and the bitrate you want and then you can re-rip the audio CDs.

So just partition in Windows, format one partition in NTFS, leave the other one as unallocated space and from OSX format this unallocated free space in HFS.
You can start with OS X or Windows, either one. Just remember, the first partition will be faster, as it's the outer tracks on the drives. So I'd use that where performance is more critical (there's a performance hit using the inner tracks, so be aware of this as well).
What is the most accurate temp reading software out for the Mac anywhere? Like RealTemp on the PC gives very accurate reads.
iStat was recommended to me on these forums, though I don't have much confidence in it.
I stopped using a Mac back in but iStat was good back then. Not certain if this is the case, but Apple still uses thermal sensors, and would presume that it's still accurate (under the impression it reads these rather than the CPU diodes).
As lazy as I am think I am going to remount. However the way the temperature rises does not feel like it's the CPU making poor contact.
It's like for 3 minutes during prime95 test the CPU temp difference will be in 5-6 degree range, then very slowly the CPU A starts climbing up.
Might be worth it.

Are your discs scratched? Also did you try going into Disk Utility and formating your hard drive...maybe writing all zeros? I can't think of anything else :-/ :confused:

For those that currently use iTMS, the presence of other music providers supplying and actively marketing "iPod compatible" tracks will create competition that Apple currently don't have. This will drive prices down, or force Apple to add value to their own offerings. (For those that don't buy via iTMS, instead choosing to rip CDs or use P2P networks, it makes no difference either way).
This assumes that Apple sets prices and controls content. It really doesn't--the store is barely above break-even, and Apple owns none of the content. Competition only weakens Apple's bargaining power with the RIAA, which in turn will drive prices UP. We've already seen them try.
For the broader market, increased availabilty of "iPod compatible" tracks from various suppliers can only enhance the iPods appeal. Clearly it would be preferable for Apple to licence their actual DRM to other suppliers, but they won't. This is a happy workaround.
What is the inherent "good" in being able to buy Fairplay tracks from other vendors? Purely that lower prices might happen on other websites (with high startup costs and bad licensing positions with the RIAA, making this "lower price" for mainstream music almost impossible)? The only advantage I can see is for small indie labels, who might provide high-quality DRMed files for good prices. This of course would be good for everyone, but it's not exactly a huge market.

700 quids for 30"???
Hahaha, this is Apple, man - grease up and bend over, you'll get raped brutally if you need anything high-end or close to it.
Sometimes I wonder why would anyone buy any additional HW from Apple, their prices are so laughably off, so jacked-up while they don't offer anything extra - let alone when rather less - over any competing product.
You want the world's best 30" display for TV or any other video stuff? Go and get the Gateway 3000 for $1.5k, it even has the HQV Reon scaler chip on-board, nothing can touch it, that's for sure. You want good colors? Try any of those 92% NTSC gamut displays (e.g. Dell 3007WFP-HC or HP) for ~$1k.
All of these sport lot more ports and features than Apple displays, lower pricetag and better performance. Other than 'matching' purposes - my fav Apple Store quote is "it's best to use a Mac with an ACD" ROFL - nowadays it makes zero sense to waste money on any Apple display, I think.
How this will change with new products coming form Apple, I don't know but Apple's less-than-stellar track record - brutally overpriced yet rather mediocre releases, first runs always pagued with stuff like 'pink problem' etc - doesn't make me think they will do anything revolutionary at this time but who knows...:)

As a professional web designer here is my input, take it for what it is worth:
Pros:
-Improved, more modern look with the tabs
-Compatibility
-Size of HTML file
Cons:
-Too much information coming at you at once with three columns instead of two
-Larger Google Ads
-Still not remotely consistent with the mac fourms in terms of style
-Addition of additional color (light blue), which makes 4 (red, tan, white, and now blue)
Overall, a good start, but there is still a lot more asthetic work to be done.
