i haven't tried this yet, but if it's true, i'm basically the happiest person ever.

I just confirmed with my Beethoven Symphony 5 3rd to 4th movement gapless playback works. I had already ripped my CD as Apple lossless. I did not have to rerip it. The first time iTunes ran, it analyzed my music for gapless playback. Great!!

I don't know if there is a way to directly get wired ethernet connection on to your iPad. I think probably not. But, one pricey solution is this:

Buy an Apple AirPort Express, a very small wifi router about the size of your palm. It will plug into the wired ethernet and broadcast wifi signal.

+1 - This would be about the same price as paying for 3 months of 3G service, so it will balance out in the long run :-) HERE (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB321LL-A-Airport-Express/dp/B0015YJOK2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303226759&sr=8-1) is the Amazon link..$94 free shipping.

Hi everybody,
I'm having a series of problems with my 2 months old Macbook pro:
Very slow to start, a little better now that I reinstalled the OS.
Fan goes on as soon as computer start to work.
Frozen screen when I wake up the computer.
I'm also loosing control from the trackpad.

Does anybody has some similar problems? I will love to know if there is anything that I can do before bringing back the laptop to the store.

Thanks

Hi, I just got my first apple product (a macbook pro) a few days ago. I bought XCode 4 from the appstore, installed it and created a new OpenGL ES project.

After a few frames of running with no code modifications from me, the program crashed with LLVM ERROR: Cannot yet select...

So, after trying various things, the project crashes in the same way regardless of the XCode version (tried XCode 3 also) and regardless of the iPhone or iPad version.

I don't have access to the developer forums because I didn't pay the $99 to be a paid developer.

Does anybody have any ideas on what I should try next?

Thanks!

There's ton's of cydia apps that will let you play .avi. Just search around in the bigboss source

"Error occurred during installation please try again" doesn't necessarily indicate there is anything wrong with your machine. I have received a similar message whilst running Software Update and the problem was with the network.

Have you tried as advised - tried later?

Cheers for the info. Is there any way to get itunes to downscale to 16 bit in order for me to load onto an iPod? I don't want to move down to 128 kbps but something inbetween.

i was looking forward to mbp updates and cinema displays after the macbook air. why didn't steve do his "one more thing..." like he usaually does?

Only Steve knows. You can ask him if you want.

Let's hope for an xserve :D

As no other computers will need to be on the network, I assume it is as simple as plugging the two computers together with an Ethernet cable and making sure they can see each other. The hard part is making sure they always use this network and not the company network.


OS X automatically prioritises the faster connection, hence will use your GbE connection by default if you transfer files between these two machines only.

You could make a Tetris-themed one the same way.

That was my first thought too.

you have to stop thinking in computer terms and do it in video terms, I guess your project is for broadcast so you have to render at D1 pal resolution at 25fps

Thanks, Dante. Your patient elucidation is much appreciated. I use my desktop for music production, and my laptop for everything else, including photoshop stuff for CD covers, etc.; the next step is consolidation into a single machine (now that I've sold off a ton of synth hardware and am more in-the-box). The color accuracy is obviously not the be-all and end-all for my applications, but I wouldn't want to save a couple of bucks and end up with something I couldn't use in everything I do.

I saw the HP in person today for the first time, and it does look great. As for the form factor element of the equation, I like the fact that it can be lowered on its stand to where the screen is almost sitting on the tabletop, and the screen can be turned L-R without moving the stand. I have a nice couch off to the side of my rig, where I'd like to be able to turn a 30" monitor for an occasional evening's DVD-viewing with friends, and hadn't yet figured out how this would "go" with an ACD (this studio arrangement is new; previously my couch was behind the main seating position at the rig).

Most of the above is doubtless more than you need or care to know, but let me finish my blathering by thanking you again. Best,

vic

I can find everything except the advanced search function. Can you find that on your old 5G iPod? I can't for the life of me.

(Otherwise, I see all the functions -- games work, the quick scrolling where the big letter is displayed works, haven't tried gapless playback though but I'm assuming that works.)

I can't find the advanced search functions either. just tried toging into settings and nothing was there.

if anyone can give us some info on this, it would be great.

almost done downloading a movie, will report quality on original 5G once it's transferred.

i used to own a white macbook 13" and 3g iPad for on the road. Sold the two and bought the MBA - best thing i ever did. The screen on this thing is amazing and its far more functional than an iPad. I have a full mac with me all the time now :)

I too , am smitten with the 11"MBA,I am going to go refurb, and pop in an OWC 360gb HDD, and enjoy the ride:cool:, that is after I submit it to my friend Scottsdale for approval;):D:cool:,LOL

does it make any sense that only real places in tarrant county to get apple stuff are southlake and the bestbuy in grapevine? wouldnt it make sense for bestbuy to put them in somewhere else?

My thought exactly. I would rather have a root canal than drive from SW Ft. Worth to Southlake.

I'll be honest in saying if apple brought out a PDA/Phone/Camera thing out I'd walk over glass to get it.

If they do it right they will sell millions, Nokia especially have kind of lost their way with the new N series phones, very buggy :(

With microsoft already having a phone available and the Zune, which may have phone functionality its a must.

At least in Europe most of my friends carry an iPod and phone around with them at all times. The new Sony Eric phone I have now is actually good as a walkman and I;ve thought about stopping carrying the iPod.

So Mr Jobs if u ever read this, pull your finger out and make one! preferably GSM/UMTS :)

The screen shots look really cool. Since I have a G5 hooked up to my TV, I think this would work great for what I use it for. Currently I just use a wireless Apple keyboard/mouse in front of the TV, but I want something a little different.

Fishes,
narco.

Many of them will have inhouse teams to develop their bits and pieces.

Considering lead and production times, I would have also thought that large-scale holiday-specific artwork production would need to be signed off in June-August in order to accommodate any special repro processes and finishing... and then getting product to point of sale.

So, if this idea appeals to you, try aiming for next year and put together a lo-res sample sheet to try some cold calls with... but don't get your hopes up, there could be other more productive and lucrative ways to further your career.

Hi. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I too was thinking a lot of that type of work is probably done in-house. I suppose I could just make it a side hobby; something to help keep my vector skills sharp and maybe it will even yield some possible portfolio pieces? Thanks again:)

Sincerely,

Phil

:D Haha, you guys are funny!
I like to think so. :)
Just wait for the releases by Otterbox and Switcheasy. Those will be your best bets.

Switcheasy has a silicone case, but they will most likely release a hard shell case in the future (I would assume, at least.)
Yes. I am currently in wait of a TRIM, Rebel, or Cara. Hopefully soon. :(

If Apple wanted to make their phone available worldwide, signing with T-mobile would be the better choice. Compared to Cingular, Deutsche Telekom (the parent company to T-mobile USA) has a much larger market worldwide, covering Germany, the United States, Great Britain, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovena, and Slovakia.

...Although Apple could sign a contract with just T-mobile USA; anything is possible.

I will be there too. I was there for the grand opening and the line was really long, even a few hours after doors opened.

Do you guys expect a line as long on Friday for the 5th Ave store?

...think how awesome Pages three will be.

:D (British in-joke)

Very nice work :cool:
