What could I do with a jailbroken ATV(2)?


so need brief , selective explanation of of basics.

apple tv product i've never explored, being apple fan boy am, i'm taking @ it. don't watch terrible lot of television, stream content off web time time.

right have macbook connecting via mini-dvi/hdmi lcd tv.

i've been doing scattered research , have series of questions:

1. if buy atv apple store tomorrow, able jailbreak based on native preloaded firmware version?

2. hear when os x 10.8 comes out, i'll able mirror macbook's screen wirelessly onto tv using atv?

3. seems lot of people using software called "plex" broaden capability of atv. many of articles i've read dated. newest , robust.. jailbroken addon manager (excuse incorrect terminology).

4. lastly, how versatile jailbroken atv2? rephrase: use for?

know it's annoying whenever posts series of basic questions this, have everlasting gratitude replies.
 

1. no because 1 buy 3rd generation, running ios 5.1 hasn't been jailbroken yet.

2. wirelessly? im not sure according apple able use apple tv show mac's screen onto tv.

3. plex/xbmc 2 media programs can play different files types on apple tv, don't know if explaining correctly, allow play .avi , mkv, these types of file without have convert them through itunes. personnel opinion xbmc on plex

4. can use stream different file types apple tv, can have content stored on nas dont have have computer turned on watch of time.

hope answered of questions..

2009 17" MacBook Pro + SATA III 6Gbps SSD?


hi all,

has had experience early 2009 17" macbook pro (macbookpro5,2) , sata iii (6gbps) ssd?

i've read issues 15" , 13" models forcing sata (1.5gbps) due sata cable funkiness. also, owc's electra 6g line apparently forces sata macbookpro5,x line (they call out 15" model, mention macbookpro5,2 model identifier). otherwise, there doesn't seem solid info on 17" model (which, iirc, did not experience same sata cable issues 15" , 13" ones).

since of newer ssd's coming out use sata iii (6gbps), wondering if drive run @ sata ii (3 gbps), max supported nvidia chipset, or if force sata i.

yes, aware sata iii should backward compatible , automatically switch sata ii if connected chipset supports sata ii. have seen anecdotal evidence saying drop down sata particular macbook pro series. want know if has experienced scenario.

thanks!

Q about internation use of new iPad


i dithering between new ipad models: at&t vs. verizon. if either better international use? don't countries use gsm, at&t uses?

in other words if wanted use new ipad in other countries on occasion (mexico , europe) matter model (at&t or verizon) in usa? sure 3g modes quite different, right (gsm vs. cdma); 4g different also?
 

both models (verizon , at&t) appear have quad-band gsm on-board enabling use internationally. wouldn't make sense them include other reason.

Multiple accounts on Apple's support forums?


i'm not sure best place turn is, but…

somehow ended 2 accounts on apple support forums. 1 have no idea how log - don't know account name and/or password. assume set long ago.

went through process of creating new one. however, when log in account i'm taken screen asking me accept terms , conditions. when click continue, shows error stating there account same email, , won't let me continue.

can use "forgot username", don't want to. want collapse these accounts. because have 2 on forums, itunes, apple bug reporter, , others in nooks , crannies come across every often.

there @ apple can contact fixed?
 

why asking here, instead of on forum? if contact forum's moderators/administrators, i'm sure can answer questions. forum isn't affiliated them.

gday

have first gen (160gb) appletv hacked using atvflash.

find tends need restart regularly (ie few times month), due dropping frames, hanging up, losing sound, ....

cheers

it's if driver card gets "dropped" finder after quitting xbmc, restarting xbmc doesn't driver "picked up" again.

bit of pita, ...
looking forward getting updated version after tomorrows expected announcement ;-)

Apple Thunderbolt Display -- dark line along bottom?


has else thunderbolt display seen this? using app in full-screen mode, , realized that, inch on base, there ~inch-high line of darker pixels. barely noticeable, highly annoying.

got replacement display, , it's less pronounced, still there.

hard capture on camera, above dock:

[​img]

wondering if it's bug or feature, @ point...
 

yes have on display, wouldn't expect evenly lit display @ price/size. might notice the area increase in brightness if lower head same height.

considering huge issues i've had apple displays (especially 24" imac replaced several times, each different issues) it's tiny flaw me.

also, affected viewing angle. if lower head same height area should less visible.

Upgrade 2009 MBA


hello,
picked older mba (2009 far can tell) 2.13ghz 128gb ssd. found sorta sitting around office , took ownership of it.

i'm interested in upgrading without breaking bank. want increased speed , performance. i've been looking around , seems ssd upgrade way go. looking @ owc 60gb sdd swap $159.

noticed there other brands out there runcore, kingspec, supertalent , sorts of other weird brands i've never heard of. read speed = 80mb/sec , write speed of 40mb/sec. not sure if these reliable.

got advice , experience can pass along? keep price under us$200.
cheers,
j
 

i think ssd you've identified make candidate improving speed. owc mercury auro pro 1.8″ preferable due optimal garbage collection (sandforce controller), make drive perform on time, done trim instructions in os.

since trim not available on os x without kernel extension hack it's nice have garbage collection in drive self.

not know if other drives mentioned have garbage collection or if require trim hack.

anyway... maybe should try stretch 120 gb model? <120 gb models tend have lower performance due lower amount of nand chips (less chips can used parallelizing data transfer).

Help resizing a DMG?


i have dmg copy of cf card camera... has raw images dec. , jan. , want break 2 smaller dmg images... 1 images dec. , 1 images of jan.

combined dmg 24gb , read only. made copy work on it.

first converted rw dmg using hdiutil in terminal.

combined rw dmg 32gb (bigger :confused:).

mounted it, deleted unwanted images, (the dmg shows 21gb available when mounted), emptied trash , unmounted it.

of course rw dmg still 32gb, contents consume less 12gb.

how resize dmg 32gb 12gb?

if use hdiutil resize, gives me error "hdiutil: resize request below minimum size allowed" (it won't accept size... 12g, 24g, less new bloated 32g size!).

what?
 

i figured out... had mount 32gb dmg had removed images , use disk utility create new read image of it. created new disk image of right size... 11gb.

Publisher Touts 20-Point Boost in Student Performance with Textbooks for iPad


[​img]


apple announcing ibooks textbooks initiative yesterday, company has been pushing view ipad can revolutionize education keeping students engaged unprecedented levels of interactivity.

[​img]


in attempt assess effect of ipad textbooks on student performance, houghton mifflin harcourt (hmh) performed year-long pilot program using ipad version of company's algebra 1 textbook middle school students. study, conducted @ amelia earhart middle school in riverside, california, saw 78% students taking course using ipad textbook rank "proficient" or "advanced" in subject, compared 58% of students using traditional print textbook.
educators noted increased motivation on part of students using ipad app, personal level of interactivity, factors contributing student success. students found ipad experience more natural , put them more in charge of own learning, factors increased student interest , engagement.

1 important consideration ipad textbook offered hmh not official ibooks textbook introduced apple yesterday. publisher's fuse program has offered ipad versions of algebra 1, algebra 2, , geometry textbooks apps in app store since last year. apps offered free sample downloads full textbooks available via in-app purchase @ $59.99 each, considerably higher apple's maximum price of $14.99 titles in ibooks textbooks program.

hmh 1 of apple's 3 main partner publishers not release ibooks textbooks @ yesterday's event, pearson , mcgraw-hill each releasing small handful of titles kick off program. seems hmh may working transition fuse program ibooks textbooks, accounting later launch of titles.

technology (and textbooks these) have definetly helped me stay focused , better student while in high school. me thick old textbook on desk, list of chapters or pages read marked on chalkboard, seemed such daunting task.

become more interactive , interesting, , of course more visually stimulating mind. have loved have these! :)

External Hard Drive questions


i have 2 750 gb wd passports.

1 of them broke mom never sent back, charged 120 $ but... started working again.

have half tb worth of memory.

suggestions on them. besides normal backing , etc?

hard drive fast enough scratch disk video editing?

 

depending on kind of video edit (hd or sd, highly compressed or transcoded), might be, usb bit slow hd video using proper editing codec.

, since failed startup , working again, might not choice use backup, unless double backup.
