Hard decision...


hi folks,

i'm waiting next generation of mac computers (ivy bridge) first mac ever.

though, i'm stuck choosing buy. have first , main idea 27" imac have admit macbook air damn sexy device.

own iphone 4s , new ipad (wifi+4g, 64gb) have great mobility guys think should macbook air?

use main computer (tired of many painful years of windows slavery) have music, movies , ios apps. also, purchase apps mac app store. short 256gb? need macbook air if own ipad?

also, not plan on playing heavy games (only games angry birds, cut rope, etc. ) video editing. also, blogging, reading tech news, tweeting lot , bit of text editing.

think imac better because has lot of horsepower more macbook air, least longer. also, take 2tb sure have enough storage everything. bigger 27" display have more room.

so, can me that?
 

it depends on needs are. said, have portable devices already. however, can't run full mac operating system. if want imac, happy it, no matter what. if want air, happy. mentioned imacs more powerful. true, haven't seen big speed difference between imac , air. true, air has 1.7ghz processor, (imacs have 2.5ghz or more) system sees quad core cpu, lightning fast. think this, too- want sacrifice screen size, ports, disk drive, , power (all of on imac or mbp) ultra-portability , sexiness of air?

250gb should plenty normal person should enough. i'm rockin 120gb hd , i'm doing fine!

if aren't tight on $, consider macbook pro. come in 13, 15 , 17 inch models, , have need.

said... airs awesome , beautiful computers. love own one.

Problems with Mail


hi all

sometimes, i'm use mail connect imap account.

thing is, issue using imap isp, not gmail.... problem must isp. because pop works fine.

problem stems fact happens, usually, imap server doesn't respond, mail prompted user enter password via popup prompted (attached).

no mater do, keep coming time time. isp saying apple issue, think otherwise. tried on both ssl , 143 no solution.

removing keychain, looks workaround, doesn't take long popup come back.

"remember password" checkbox doesn't either, keeps coming up... again not imap, isp. must suggest due isp, gmail users imap , connects fine time mail.

suggestions apart using pop ?

update

update.

i've been on phone isp, , did telnet commend, testing outlook removing , re-adding mail account didn't help, i'm coming closer problem.

i've traced connection error down fact "only" happens after sending email out using imap. checking emails, time random.

in cases, telnet passed,,,, meaning isp's perspective anyway, client issue ..... mail clients ?

how can be.

he's screenshot apple mail showing again ok.

between these 2 screenshots takin, nothing altered in keychain or accounts in apple mail.. thing testing in windows.

1 other point... may have been "at split second" kind of thing. running test in outlook in windows had apple mail open. after sending via outlook, receive test mail via apple mail (noticed badge icon), not in outlook. again client issue ?? maybe, come though eventually, think "at time" kind of thing.

i've got windows 2003 server , exchange 2007 on cd , office 2007, may set on local network (within vm's) test, know why doesn't happen gmail.

update #2.. think slipped 1 place though.. not sure, when telnet test, must test on troubled port ?

eg. since send test, check , fails.... should checking receiving port (via telnet), not sending port? if so, solution.

wirelessly posted

real estate agent switching pc mac (yeah!!) imac updated. crm (contact relationship management) software going invest in (top producer) not mac friendly. have suggestions?

thank you!!!
 

the mac options crm apps sadly lacking. best recommendation: run windows-based crm on mac installing windows via boot camp or use parallels or vmware fusion.

if don't have windows license, can use crossover run applications. not windows apps compatible crossover. check site compatible apps.

more information running windows on mac, check out windows on mac forum.

FAA Taking a 'Fresh Look' at Digital Device Use During Takeoff and Landing


[​img]


u.s. federal aviation administration reexamining regulations banning use of digital devices ipad or amazon kindle during taxi, takeoff , landing of commercial aircraft. passengers banned using electronics while aircraft under 10,000 feet, pilots , crew allowed use ipads during phases of flight. important because many airlines replacing pilot flight bags ipads reduce weight , save money.

nick bilton, writing new york times:
good news some, there peculiar quirks faa's bureaucratic approval process. under current guidelines, individual tablet models need tested separately -- on each different aircraft model. ipad, ipad 2 , ipad 3 individually tested, each on separate flight, on empty plane, boeing 737, 747, 757, etc. smartphones not being considered approval, news hoping keep skies relatively quiet place.
we long ways off seeing ipads in use during takeoff , landing, fact faa willing consider changing regulations promising.

Suggestions on New Mac Mini


hi! i'm new forum, hello all!! :)

wanna new mac, first mac. having trouble in getting conclusion on should buy; here am.

there 2 options in mind:

mac mini 2.7ghz dual-core intel core i7 4mb on-chip shared l3 cache
4gb of 1333mhz ddr3 memory (ram)
amd radeon hd 6630m graphics processor 256mb of gddr5 memory
1x 500gb (5400-rpm) hard drive

or

mac mini 2.0ghz quad-core intel core i7 6mb on-chip shared l3 cache
4gb of 1333mhz ddr3 memory (ram)
intel hd graphics 3000 processor 384mb of ddr3 sdram shared main memory
2x 500gb (7200-rpm) hard drives

i'm going use mac mini for:
- basic stuff (pages, keynote, numbers, chrome...)
- full hd video editing (imovie/finalcut; exclude special effects)
- full hd video playback without lag
- playing games (things new super mario bros, super mario galaxy 2...) via dolphin (see http://goo.gl/vvpov , http://goo.gl/j7apu details)

please assist me in deciding new mac mini. replies appreciated.


ps: i'll connecting dvi (1680*1050) display usually, hdmi (1920*1080) display, never thunderbolt (2560*1400) displays
 

the server model (mac mini 2.0ghz quad-core intel core i7) appears more appropriate in consideration of it.

Base 15 vs the other 15 and some other questions.


so @ moment i'm torn between 15 incher should get, base or higher end model. i'd love nice 17 expresscard unfortunately it's way out of budget.

anyhow purchase isn't right now, it's whenever new models come out. i'm sorta hoping redesign mean drastic drop in price these "older" models, yea.

ok onto questions.

first off i've looked around these forums , few places online , performance differences between 6750 , 6770 isn't big. there 1 between 6750's 512 , 6770's 1gb?
plan on doing quite bit of fcp7 (mainly sd , gradually moving towards more hd) , using u2410 in extended desktop, have issues?
don't play games on macbook except unreal 2004 don't see point in shelling out cash on won't use.

edit: speaking of unreal how hd 3000 , 6750 work? 6750 turn on automatically or when being charged or what?

drive comes doesn't matter since it'll swapped out hybrid 1 second , same goes odd. still use odd on regular basis should enclosure uses fw800 or usb enough?

how fast sdxc card slot when connected xc card? assuming current 64gb cards drop in price on next half year reasonable store itunes library on there save space on main internal?

how thunderbolt work non-thunderbolt displays? can plug in mini display cable , call day? there external drives or adapters offer faster fw800 link non-thunderbolt display on market right now?

on fresh new battery how long last if i'm working on in fc brightness maxed?

know it's quite bit appreciate input.
 

osx determines automatically whether should use integrated or discrete gpu.

difference between 6750 , 6770 small. how big benefit video ram don't know.

sdxc should fast enough music. have buy fast card however!

thunderbolt port works previous mini display port, can use same adapter. few thunderbolt external drives available, see e.g. on apple store. have 2 ports can plug external hd mbp , plug screen external hd. procedure called daisy chaining.

Windows is buggy? NOT LIKE LION!


i can't believe - lost several files due copy bug issue in lion.

move file network share, file "copies" correctly, disappears share , local disk!

others in apple discussion groups have similar issue lion.

, of osx greatest os in world - can't copy files properly?

sheesh :(



threads of other people same problem:

similar issue:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57382756-263/os-x-lion-finder-bug-deletes-moved-files/
 

thanks posting this. i'll sure watch copy operations more closely.

however, seems long standing finder bug, not lion bug. many of threads linked described same problem in older versions of os x.

Hardshell Case..good idea?


hi, see few people using incase hardshell case macbook pros i've read how dust gets in between case , laptop causing scratches? sound idea purchase or i'll wasting money?
 

personally, i'd avoid them. use incase sleeve myself , have not had issues. i'd had speck candyshell on iphone, caused marks when soft case inside. mbp tough in respect, however, can still scratched case if don't clean regularly (which become bit of pain).

if treat mbp care, won't scratched (that includes bottom). however, if you're concerned scratches , damage, case skin hard case way go. i'll let else give recommendations matter.

Why mac pro 1,1 can't run with Harpertown cpu?


because apple efi doesn't have cpu microcode or
hardware doesn't support?
 

the 5000x chipset should support 54xx series of xeons, question of efi/firmware. there have been quite threads topic - far no success stories afaik.

preview of 10.8 mountain lion , official cease of support first-gen mp's there may renewed interest in firmware mods - maybe harpertown support added inofficial modification (see e.g. cpuid speculation in post #147 over @ netkas).

question whether it'd worth it, advantages seem comparably small (quick google search - no idea regarding credibility).

Nuclear politics — will Israel attack Iran?


there's lot bubbling recently. israel wants delay iran in quest nuclear bomb bombing facilities. think it's lunacy, , ultimate outcome, israel attack, u.s. dragged in finish job , protect israel vicious counterattack.

don't need right now. repercussions , destabilization dramatic , terrible. economic sanctions , diplomacy have pushed far go. while iran's government can concerning, israeli , western approach reeks of "do say, not do". israel known have nuclear arms if pretends not, , worst of bunch. multilateral nuclear disarmament accompanied non proliferation is, in view, solution long term (and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3w7koh-ise ;)).

anyhow, getting caught in war iran instigated pre-emptive israeli strike devastating. increased terrorism, continued , intensified ill-will towards west middle eastern countries, countless dead.

seem remember hearing before, except american leaders, , launch preemptive strike on iraq. went pretty well. :rolleyes:

bull ****.

if israel cannot stop iran inside, attack before iran can field nuclear weapon. iran on record willing take steps necessary destroy israeli regime, israel feels threatened , not wait destroyed.
