Dark lefeside, brighter the right side. Brightness is not consistent.


i noticed new ipad 3 has problem: left top corner of screen little bit darker right top corner. left side along edge bit darker.

when open safari, can see color of search bar @ both ends not consistent. when rotate right, seem same, can prove the color not consistent life right in portrait mode.

seeing same issue? think make take apple store check.

in advance!
 

i'm afraid part of shocking quality control apple time around. i'm on fifth new ipad , although best 1 still has dust under screen , scuffs on case.

there on forum think fine. bought samsung galaxy tab 8.9 yesterday new £279 , has no quality control issues. , it's 40% of cost.

think i'm going give , go samsung. yeah screen isn't etc. doesn't annoy me when use , don't feel i've been screwed.

, no doubt apple fanbois flame me now. i'm 1 of them. have apple.

Hot Mac


i spent couple of hours yesterday trying late 2011 macbook pro play itunes music via airport express connected speaker system.in common many others experiencing intermittent sound when using airport express.

anyway spent time changing channels used , network speed, 2.4ghz , 5ghz. nothing did made difference, in fact music became more intermittent, hardly playing @ all.

did notice mac got hot, first time has happened, runs cool.

stopped doing, , tried music again later evening, , bingo has been working ever since, though channel settings etc same have been.

has idea why mac became hot, or why should play itunes through airport express without continually breaking down.
 

the aluminum enclosure makes mac feel warmer touch plastic counterpart. not mean computer overheating, or had @ airplay.

i'm guessing had rogue process using processor, causing music skip in first place.

Completely Dead iPhone 3gs


here's problem: i've received replacement iphone at&t in october (warranty expired) , dead now. , totally. no hard reset, no soft reset, nothing on screen, not recognized itunes. brought in apple store , said there nothing either. there hope in fixing it? appreciated, life without iphone isn't fun.
 

you should see if can repair if can pay repair. or possibly go authorized apple repair specialist , can repair.

alternatively, can still sell it. , @ least purchasing new working one.

electronic repair shops use parts of phone, they'll still buy 1 not working @ all.

alternatively, can go gazelle , sell them. did iphone 3g not working @ right before iphone 4s announcement , got $50 gazelle. shocked at, since said wasn't working @ all.

New 1080p content looks amazing on ATV2


so i'm not sure going on episodes marked 1080p nice when played through cloud on atv2.

bought game of thrones last night , pulled if out of cloud on atv2. have noticed 720p content on atv looked less stellar -- in fact disappointingly blurry. watch planet earth , can barely tell difference between hd , sd versions.

anyways, noticed first episode of game of thrones looked distinctly better other content had seen before itunes. wanting blind test of few episodes before ruined perception checking, pulled down downtown abby, planet earth, , few others , marked down if looked improved. 4 four, able tells ones looked far better, , correlated new 1080p availability on itunes.

else noticing distinct improvement in quality of video on atv2?

btw, tv samsung 46" 6900 , i'm former photographer pretty sharp eyes.

RAM or CPU more important for video/photos


ill getting new mac soon, plan on mbp. heaviest stuff editing pictures slr thru aperture , don't yet, editing videos through final cut pro x. play occasional game, nothing intel hd 3000 can't handle.

13in (with tb display) , either 13in model get 8gb of ram aperture, final cut pro?? should go i7 in 13in? , quad core i7 in 15in base model worth it?
 

it depends on workload, people, benefits go

ram, ssd, cpu

in order of priority better performance.

lot more ram workload requires not speed things up. not enough ram have way more of impact on performance dropping few grades of cpu or lacking ssd.

i"d recommend minimum of 8gb of ram (if buy owc, ridiculously cheap), if find page-outs high, upgrade 16gb.


now...

if have sufficient ram, more cpu help, question of how want spend, , whether want 15" machine carry.

specific usage, assuming both machines have sufficient ram, 15" lot faster video encoding, video encoding takes advantage of multiple cores. reckon you're see 1.5x performance increase or more in encoding speed, going quad core 15" machine. going i5 i7 in 13", not much....

OSX Lion, NFS and the automounter, help...


i want place static nfs entries in fstab, via vifs, in non-system location (like /mnt). seems automounter grabs hold of , remounts them after manually umount them, not want.

need mounts automounter isn't going use, fstab managed otherwise (config management).

looked through manpage , didn't see obvious options avoid this, leads me believe somehow automounter "different" in os x (as opposed linux). way os, or there clever way around it. have autofs configs in /etc?

/etc/auto_master has:

#
# automounter master map
#
+auto_master # use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/network/servers -fstab
/- -static

don't want go through gui or os x dependent, plain , simple fstab mount do.

can advise on what's going on here , whether there way around this?


in advance...

Apple Adds Another 150,000 SF to Sunnyvale Real Estate Footprint

last month, noted apple had signed pair of leases on 300,000 square feet of space in sunnyvale, company's first venture city next door home in cupertino, california. leases said part of larger effort in apple looking secure 700,000-800,000 square feet of space in sunnyvale continues grow , tide on until massive new headquarters campus opens several years now.

according press release (pdf) city of sunnyvale, piece of plan has fallen place apple's commitment lease new 156,000 square foot building in downtown sunnyvale. apple said planning move 400 employees building, sits directly adjacent similar building nokia last year consolidated majority of bay area operations.
apple plans occupy new building in third quarter of year.

apple's planned "spaceship campus" in cupertino set offer 2.8 million square feet of space, structure not complete until 2015. in meantime, apple has continued snap real estate leases wherever can in cupertino , surrounding area accommodate rapidly-growing workforce. apple employs 25,000 full-time non-retail employees, vast majority of operate out of or near company's cupertino headquarters.

that sunnyvale center site has had bad luck.

iTunes Match streaming to AppleTV 2 stops after 24 seconds


i purchased itunes match, uploaded / matched library, , turned on itunes match on appletv. shows of tracks i'm expecting show, of artwork intact... but.

song play quits after 24 seconds. purchased, matched, uploaded-- doesn't make difference. can't past 00:24.

i'm able download music itunes match ipad, macbook pro, , win7 pc. songs download in seconds on of devices. (all connected same wifi network.)

can stream hd movies, netflix, , home sharing work flawlessly.

i've reset everything, done reset; factory restore; , rebooted cable modem, router , refrigerator (ya never know)....

apple support clueless, nice enough offer transfer me second tier specialist, if didn't mind holding 30 minutes. being had 3 minutes of battery left on phone, opted no hold.

suggestions?
 

quite few people including me had problem few days last week. problem originated apple's side.

works fine people had issue. in case, problem disappeared rest needed reset apple tv reset router fix take effect. think should try unplug apple tv first , reset router ensure proper reset.

once this, can buy 3.5 enclosure , put removed superdrive in , hook mbp when needed? or @ point, need buy separate external superdrive piece, , lay removed 1 side in case ever decide put in mbp?

question makes sense...

also, when have both ssd , hdd in machine, go change settings of things download to?
 

this discussed lot around here. also, upgrade did myself. used 256gb ssd , 500gb hdd. removed superdrive optibay , placed hdd in there , placed ssd hdd bay, 500gb previously. now, people saying can copy on ssd, @ least system stuff. never understood that. reinstalled on ssd if re-formatted. first have boot cd of reinstallation. , can choose drive boot pressing option @ sound mbp makes when turned on.

so, let's osx installed in ssd , booted , @ desktop. make sure can see other hdd, 1 used. can 1 of 2 things one. delete want stay or reformat , add want (i did this).

i'm not sure if app installation has done on ssd or hdd take advantage of speed, reinstalled apps. data on hdd media (music, photos, videos). there are settings itunes, iphoto, aperture redirect should "look" library. make sure directory looks same if in ssd.

think that's it.


, enclosure, can buy external enclosure put superdrive in , have work external superdrive. however, don't believe it's 3.5, it's smaller. , also, make sure enclosure sata. there's lot not.

how old would you go?


when buying lens used, how old have be, start considering risks great? af/is motor failing etc.
 

it depends on physical shape, , how care , present.
performance , personality other big factors.

research them, know, bit of stalking on net - have specific problem areas? not when smoke.

smooth, or jerky in action?
check mount.

if care themselves, go it, might want history, see if they're real deal.

age not right indicator - if you're worried going too old - legal stuff - insurance, etc.

luck! ;)

My Ordeal in Getting my iPad 1 Replaced Under Warranty


so, time ago hit forum asking if members thought ipad 1 switched out before applecare warranty ends because of flexing side of screen. got worse point of right side has sunken in, , pretty clear see binding becoming problem. warranty ending next saturday, went genius bar today before venture school spring quarter switched out. first genius talked understood , assured me switched out. then, came out wouldn't able switch out because deemed "wear , tear." told them unacceptable because there's no way ipad screen should unbinding metal casing before hits 2 years of use. assistant manager came out , gave me same story, again told them unacceptable , wanted talk store manager (instead of assistant). before went him, made sure tell them own both iphone 4s, macbook pro, 2 ipods, , ipad , assured them i'd using current at&t upgrade on different phone , selling of apple products , buying others instructing family , friends same (i didn't plan so, wanted show them how angry was). there other customers standing around table , giving 2 cents since eavesdropping (adding in, "give kid replacement! it's under warranty!" , "you should replace it, guys."), manager came out , started give me same old line. told them thank , shall selling products upon getting home, manager came me before hit door , told me replace ipad.

swear, out of sitcom or something, because after 20-25 customers started clapping in support. never did think have been such ordeal ipad replaced under warranty, guess got laugh , silly story out of it.
 

wow can't believe hard on you! when have problems, go out of way me, , when apologized trouble caused rather annoying iphone 4 bug, laughed off , said apple multi billion dollar company , giving me new phone free no problem @ all, , that's applecare for.

congrats on getting taken care of, though.

2011 MacBook Pro Boot Camp Battlefield 3?


just wanted user experiences on this. know pretty specific never know :)

have 2011 2.3ghz quad core i7 macbook pro. i'm going upgrade ram 16gb , wondering if of had experience playing battlefield 3 through bootcamp. whether booting windows or running partition through vmware fusion.

able play @ decent spec levels?
 

16gb ram doesn't change in regards gaming capability. 8gb doesn't offer benefit. 4gb you'd need.

http://www.notebookcheck.com/test-apple-macbook-pro-15-late-2011-2-4-ghz-6770m-glare.66262.0.html

bit of tweaking can make medium/low details work.
me think 1st person shooter needs 45 fps average work well. if barely reach 30 fps average drops too low when action on , need fluent fps. consider 30 fps avg enough strategy games starcraft not 1st person shooter green should 40+ , 25-30 yellow , below red.
bf3 on low works on higher doesn't work on notebooks.
why prefer cod game play might not great big battles @ least can play without buying gaming notebook.

notebookcheck tests run @ 1366x768 resolution comparable. not entirely sure if 720p or native 1440x900. if 1080p there mention.

There will be no iPhone 5 this year.


it doesn't make sense. iphone 4 fourth-generation iphone. if iphone 5 ever going happen, have been released instead of iphone 4s.

please don't take offense. can't believe people think apple release iphone 5 year. instead, believe see iphone 6 in october.
 

since no 1 knows new iphone called when people 5 or 6 referring same phone.

, if not think (5/6/whatever) released in october.
