Going from Leopard to, SL, to Lion...


this lot read, i'd appreciate recommendations guys can give me.

have new ipad, new atv, , iphone 4s. haven't opened ipad/atv yet because birthday present , i'm going exchange 64gb 16gb.

have macbook, it's original "new" silver/black macbook came out think in late 2008 (purchased in december 2008). i still running leopard on it, 10.5.8, got mackeeper improve performance , seemed barely anything, , have noticed started slow down little bit overall, brings me next point.

if have ipad, atv, , 4s, make sense me upgrade snow leopard (waste of $30 since need lion, if knows way cheap/free please let me know) , buy lion? way able take advantage of icloud between these devices, having all/most of stuff sync? since i've noticed computer slow down little bit, adding both of these new software slow down more, making not worth upgrade?

have 13,000 songs , no ipod since got stolen few months ago. going go apple tomorrow return ihome , new ipod classic. since have music, suppose make sense buy itunes match $25 year rather ever have deal getting larger gb ipad , iphone.

help? thanks.

ps - chances apple give me free snow leopard download or if see i'm loyal , have these products of theirs?
 

sl run or better leopard. lion run slower on machine.

RAM fails in pair, but works individually?


i have macbook exhibiting startup-beep 3 repeating short beeps, search indicated caused ram issues. it's older machine running snow leopard 1gb of ram (awful, know, budget college machine , i've since upgraded 4gb on newer mbp).

re-seated ram sticks, same issue.
tested each stick in each slot, , machine starts fine 1 stick installed. both slots work both sticks, 1 @ time.
pair won't work, no matter how switch them up.

caused by?
 

what specs of ram , machine... maybe machine cannot handle much... know macbook take 4gb (2x2gb) supports 3.3gb.... use this.... yours may not able support tho..

android's performance pretty constant, 48% of existing smartphone owners , 48% of new smartphone purchasers choosing android phones.

apple's iphone has been more popular of late, recent release of iphone 4s. iphone device of choice 32% of current smartphone owners, has made 43% of recent smartphone purchases -- entirely @ expense of blackberry , other small-share operating systems.

Has the Iphone 4S failed?


looking improved little on iphone 4. upgraded , and battery life alot worse. iphone 4 same cheaper , read there's less demand 4s hype has gone.

mean still did ok iphone 5 can't come fast enough. don't notice faster processor in 4s casually using , camera hopeless @ night due lack of decent flash. it's not bad daytime camera though. siri hopeless never use or need.

know 4s great think alot here realise 4 need iphone 5 fresh ideas.

(just add battery thing drops randomly % days not all. 3g drain in 3 hours , general use lasts 1 day or day , half vs iphone 4 same use got 3 days).
 

not live (ny). has 4s available on 3 carriers. wouldnt call failure.

battery life same i4. perhaps battery faulty, go checked out!

best keep the drive 1 large raid 0 partition. doing uses same file system there no need partition drive. use directory structure organize data described.

beware, people advise against raid 0 because of potential data loss on both drives if 1 fails stating raid 0 doubles potential failure rate. statistical correct mtbf low begin with.

Suicide or Medical Treatment


i watching tv show other day , popped mind.

realized have medical condition that's fatal if left untreated. if planning commit suicide, concerned family's reaction after fact, keep condition , forgo treatment? mean perfect since "natural" death , won't looked @ suicide. but, knows, suicides happen in moment.
 

i think depends on terminal illness. wants have prolonged , agonizing death?

wonder if happens , if dying person has change of heart once know there nothing can do. people carry on because know suicide option, semblance of control in otherwise uncontrollably unhappy life. once death out of control might resent it.

2) go summer 2011 air, newer i5 processor, same 4gb ram, but...only 128 ssd????

hmmm....which better compromise??? less ssd current i5 processor, or more ssd last gen core2duo...for same $$$, suppose each has supporters , detractors?

Apple TV2 and Bandwidth Issues


i have apple tv2 , love it. our wireless usage has gone way on past year in house 2 ipads, iphones, computers , philips airplay ring speaker. atv2 losing network connectivity while streaming films itunes on laptop. ring losing it's connection itunes.

have pretty big house , made of concrete, 3 floors. have airport extreme connected adsl router located in our office @ lowest level. have airport express in our living room (extended network) has laptop music/film files , atv2. living room separated rest of house thick concrete bearing wall , not receive signal base station.

think problem bandwidth. maybe airport express can't handle traffic of streaming video , music simultaneously along web surfing on various devices.

should new extreme living room replace express? bandwidth?

hard wire 2 extremes (office/living room) if help.

thoughts on plan.

 

hardwiring second airport extreme help. each time signal repeated take significant performance loss, eliminating hops hard wiring things make difference.

regarding overall situation, it's not airports losing signal or don't have enough bandwidth. it's 802.11n, wireless system being used) doesn't have requisite performance handle many systems in house concrete walls. in other words, there's not wireless system on market today this.

running ethernet between 2 main areas mentioned worth effort. price of airport extreme, can buy wiring, tools, , hire install wiring. it's not expensive or hard do. , difference in performance quite noticeable.

i'd recommend run single ethernet cable dsl\airport extreme area have tv , ring speaker. behind tv install simple gigabit network switch. can purchase 1 4 or 8 ports name brand $20-40, if not less. provide bandwidth airport extreme main usage area. then, can plug current airport express , extend network on ethernet, instead of wireless. plus, you'll moving apple tv off ethernet , onto wireless matters.

in experience, money , time spent running ethernet never wasted. due inherent physical properties of cables versus wireless signal, ethernet trumps wireless in home , business. now, there's new specs wireless coming onto market constantly, including major new revision called 802.11ac. improve situation ethernet still less expensive, more reliable , less prone signal interference.

it.

Did Apple Just Peak?


i wanted opinions on this piece infinite number of apple blogs out there.

essence of boils down apple in fact peaking since it's had such incredible run far, jobs not anymore, , fact seem have products takes down hipnessfactor.

merits it? think.

fwiw, thinking here long apple can find new markets explore, , in time (ahead of heard) can continue rule.
 

i think peaked while back. few years ago, in love brand, i'm lack-luster. , i'm 1 of people start curve, rather finish (or i've noticed).

thing makes me pause, people turn to? there's nothing apple tv on market, or ipad, or ipod. if there was, ecosystem around lacking.

android has best opportunity gain ecosystem, have yet hear great android tablet. not they're not good, not great.

of course, big unknown microsoft's windows/phone 8. has great chance of being new big player in town, apple has lot can give before they're de-throned.

Lock up playing BF3 multi


sorry if has been asked, did quick search nothing i'm getting.

bought bf3 figuring imac quite above recommended , run bootcamp few graphic intensive pc games , never had issue @ all.

imac 27" 2010 model core i-5 (2.8ghz believe) quad core, 4 gigs ram ddr3 , ati hd5750.

if leave standard drivers windows 7 insists on keep getting error message drivers version 10.4 , bf3 requires @ least 11.7.

ok...so let's update.
no matter game locks after 20 minutes (only playing multiplayer don;t care single @ all.)

ran cpuz , core temp, nothing gets above 70 degrees celsius, locks up, no on heating issue guess.

figured out how run out freezing?
i'm thinking threw away 60$ now... , why switched apple , console gaming years ago :)

 

when game freezes, able return desktop or need hard reset? there blue screen involved @ stage?

ML update?


since lion still stable release of (mac) os x, i'm gonna stick until ml released. however, when released, how distributed? i've heard mixed opinions. software update, paid update, lion was. i'm guessing case, because haven't had free udate since 10.0- 10.1! i'm sure paid update, leopard -> snow leopard. mac app store distribution fine, hope apple doesn't take away usb installer still have, leopard or something. thoughts/ comments?
 

like every other os upgrade paid update , mas (no usb dongle time - not enough demand). lion was. think price confirmed same lion

Rational 2012 iPhone speculation.


it's in cpu/gpu.

iphone 4s fast can get, both system reactivity , gaming performance. long screen retains current resolution, there no point in putting upgraded cpu in it.

reason, apple going put bigger screen, higher resolution, in next iphone. 3gs going discontinued ios 6, apple can afford introduce resolution in ecosystem.

obvious 1 1920 x 1280, 2x scaling of current one. making screens such pixel density near impossible. @ 4.5", screen 512.79 ppi, , though toshiba demoed 494 ppi displays last october, don't know how viable in mass production.

moreover, if apple manages 500ppi screens in mass production, , a5x scratch driving it, don't know how battery , heating (seen in ipad 3gen) addressed.

thing is, either apple manages address of these issues, or can expect next iphone pretty 4s plus lte , battery take care of that. there no point in upgrading a5 unless resolution, along screen size, gets boosted.
 

i 50/50 on whether or not going change screen size. think pixel density match ipad, memory. think lte in too.

Amazon – can someone explain...


...their prices (especially *rrp* price-listings)?

untruthful, , make so-called discount "savings" higher should be.

here 2 quick examples:
• apple 27 inch thunderbolt display.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/apple-27-inch-thunderbolt-display/dp/b005dxs7dq
rrp: £951.53.
price: £804.94.
save: £146.59 (15%).

issues here are:
1) since when has been rrp'd @ "£951.53", when shows on apple's own website (on tech spec's page, outside of apple's own actual online store) @ £899.00 (http://www.apple.com/uk/displays/specs.html )?
2) makes amazon's discount appear higher (15%) (10%)!


• fujitsu scansnap s1500m (vs.) fujitsu scansnap s1500.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/fujitsu-scansnap-s1500m-document-scanner/dp/b001vgg6x2
http://www.amazon.co.uk/fujitsu-scansnap-s1500-document-scanner/dp/b001vgj7jm
rrp: £716.99 vs. £417.00.
price: £445.53 vs. £337.74.
save: £271.46 (38%) vs. £79.26 (19%).


issues here are:
these machines identical, except physical colour (white vs. black) , 1 comes acrobat mac other acrobat win.
3) hence, while don't know proper rrp on these, how on earth can 1 have rrp of £717 while other £417.00?
trust me, i've checked specs identical, how can mac version possibly rrp'd £300 (72%) higher??
4) thus, prices charging massively different: £107.79 (32%) more mac version??
5) again, makes amazon's discount appear higher be!


how can expect users treat pricing seriously, when seems (to me @ least) on place?

(ps: contacted them twice comment, , gave me shrug-off per usual these large companies!)
 

not europe, part of companies including vat , not?

Data occupying double amount of disk space!


hello everybody.

right in middle of process of backing user information stored on old imac g5: plugged 250gb drive powermac recognized right away, , after assigning ownership of files user , attaching external 750gb drive (formatted hfs+ case sensitive), started copying user directory of 1 of users of aforementioned imac. decided leave machine alone overnight copy heaviest directory (~190gb).

today arrived office , noticed copy process had finished, noticed in external hard drive copied files 380gb! why did happen? did machine somehow copied them twice (how?)?

1 thing prefer use terminal, , pretty sure "du -sh" gave me data sizes, plus kept monitoring process. , more importantly, don't imagine how 250gb drive store 380gb of single user.

please explain me , perhaps give advice how recover "original" file sizes?

thanks,
joe.
