Don't put Apple Lossless onto your iPod. You won't gain anything from it other than craptacular battery life. Your iPod moves 25MB of music from the hard drive (HD) into cache memory, and plays the music from cache memory. If it didn't work this way, your HD would be spinning for as long as you use it. The HD uses a lot of power, which is why the cache memory makes the battery life reasonable.
Anyway, if your iPod has 25MB of cache memory, and you have 3 mp3 songs, and each mp3 takes up exactly 8 MB of space, this means that your cache memory can store these 3 songs onto cache memory (24MB worth of songs), and your iPod will play all 3 songs before it has to reload more songs from the HD into the 25 MB cache memory.
HOWEVER, if you encode all your songs in Apple Lossless format, and each of the 3 songs is now 25MB in size (ie: much larger) instead of just 8MB per song, your iPod will only be able to store a single 25MB song in memory instead of 3 songs. So after each song is finished, it has to get another song from the HD and put it into memory, which uses up a lot of power. In the previous example, it could play 3 songs before having to fetch more songs.
Also, your anti-skip will barely work if your song files are enormous. ;)
When you Import songs, set the file format to AAC and either 128kbps, 160kbps, or 192 kbps. I say encode the songs at 160kbps to make sure the battery life is good. 192kbps means that each song takes up 50% more space than a song encoded at 128kbps. ;)

I'm going to a university this year and I've saved up some money to buy either base model Air or iMac.
I'm going to receive a ipad2 from ma uncle and I was wondering if buying the imac was worth it bc its better performance.
Would it be alright if I take the ipad to classes and work in the iMac?
What I do in the computer are gaming, news, youtube, and music

How it looks may ultimately depend on your TV, but generally it looks fine. Keep in mind it will not be as sharp as a monitor however because most graphics used in your apps were not built with a 10 ft. viewing experience in mind. Apps like Plex were built with this in mind and which is why the GUI still looks great 10 ft. away.
Not saying that other Apps will have horrible resolution, but something like typing a paper or sending an email will probably not be the best experience on such a large screen.
If I were you, I would not plan on doing everything on a 50 inch plasma. Things like Plex or maybe music composition are fine, but day-to-day computer tasks seem to be annoying on such a large screen. Maybe consider two different outputs if your setup allows for it.
Good luck

Isn't the Otterbox guarantee only for one year? Perhaps one year warranty is good enough.
So....does the silicone case stretch out where it requires a replacement?
Yes but it also depends on how vigorously you use it.

This is a little avant garde for my taste, but I promised Marley last month I'd give it a shot.
EDIT: I just noticed there's two Firefoxes. That's odd...

Ok so heres the deal I have a 2010 Macbook, with Windows XP installed through parallels and Windows cannot recognize my disk drive on my Macbook. Is there anyway for me to make it recognize it. Well frankly I don't know if its recognizing it or not... I tried to play a game for windows using it and when I started the game it said please insert disc. So I took the disc out and put it back in. Still nothing, any help? :confused:

Nobody knows. We will likely know when Steve plans next years Macworld. If it is at SF, there is a good chance it will always be at SF.
Apple doesn't put on Macworld. There used to be two Macworlds, one in SF in Jan. and another on the East Coast in the summer. The Boston show disappeared a few years after Apple stopped going to that one. The WWDC is now Apple's summer event.

Selling 15 billion dollars worth of iPhone 5's in the fourth quarter seems pretty significant.
Again there is no good reason Apple needs to rush out a new iPhone model in the summer. The iPhone 4 is still the best smart phone out there, and will be until the 5 comes out.
That being said, if they do push it back, I don't know that the iPhone 6 comes out 6 months later. I find that unlikely.
Not me. Ka-ching.
Unless you are the IRS that makes no sense. If you are getting money back, it is because you gave the US government an interest free loan. Not exactly something to celebrate.
The question is how many people want to have a bigger phone? I don't know if it will be bigger or not but I don't think a bigger sized phone is a always a good idea. Not saying a small increase in screen size (not resolution) will not happen I just don't want my iPhone becoming an iPad mini!
I have already discounted the idea that the next iPhone will have a bigger screen. It is just not going to happen. It is illogical. People think 4" is better, but it really impacts the form factor and portableness of the device. Other phones have gone to a bigger screen because they realized they can't sell much just copying the iPhone, so they try to come up with some ways to be different, unfortunately they keep picking things that don't necessarily make the device better.

i personally believe the MB Air isn't a mainstream laptop, it is a laptop light. I need a CD/DVD and BD optical drive.
The sales figures suggest it IS a mainstream laptop. Just because you need a DVD drive doesn't mean everyone in the mainstream does.
apple wont sell it to me, wants to shift people to its ecosystem. ie. get rid of optical drives, to force more people to buy content and software from apple owned stores. ie itunes and app store. So the Air is proof of Apple's future vision possibly. not really mine. yes its light, easy to carry. great! but for those of us who dont mind 5-6 pounds, give us optical drives and Blu-Ray!
Non sequitur of the month award. I get loads of non app store mac content and none of it comes on cd or DVD any more. It's all downloaded. If you want optical drives and big storage, the MacBook Pros are over there. Lots of people don't, though.
sorry... i like a NON-CLOSED ecosystem. I am not a mindless drone. i like options.
i am starting to like the idea of windows more.
It's called bootcamp and has been around for ages.

I was in a phone with one of the Specialist in the Apple Store and he said there will be no iPad 2s today coming in. I was just calling them to swap my iPad 2. Genius agreed to swap me with the new iPad 2 after my iPad fails.
Just wanting to make sure whether they really dont have stock or maybe the stock is not yet coming in. I phoned about 10 am this morning. Anyone been there today and can clarify me?
Thanks a lot

I installed Bodyguardz, both front and back.
It was pretty wet at install, I used many solution, but apperently not enough.
It was dripping and I had to clean my desk.
Most of the bubbles will dry up in a week. Some small ones will take a 2-3 weeks, but eventually they'll be gone.

I'm going to do a "drive-by" at about 3:30 and if the line is substantial, then I'll drag my sweatshirt, gloves and folding lawnchair out and join it! The Weather Channel says it will be cooler starting on Thursday - it figures! I'm not a youngster either, but I've always met nice people in long lines (except at the Vatican, LOL!), so I'm not totally dreading it. I just hope I'm outa Apple by noon so I can pick up my daughter at the airport!:eek:

So I have an iPad2 Wifi and an iPhone 3G. The 3G is jailbroken and I'm running the MyWi application.
Unfortunately I am not seeing the GPS enabling on the iPad2 that others have reported.
Am I supposed to be getting any kind of GPS, or is my phone too old or am I running the wrong software? Whenever I open Maps, I get 'Current Location could not be determined'.
Thanks for your help!

Problem just showed up today.
I have iTunes set to sync the last 12 months worth of events from iPhoto to my iPhone. I have never had a problem until today. I recently upgraded the new iPhoto '11 v9.1.2.
I'll take pictures on one day and then upload them into iPhoto. The next day or so, I'll do the same and Merge them into the same event. For instance, if the pictures are just random (no specific event like a birthday, etc.) I'll just name the event "March 2011" As such, I might take some photos early in the month and then merge some photos into that event that I've taken at the end of the month.
iTunes has always recognized my Merged events as a single entity. Now, in iTunes, all my events have multiple entries. In other words, I now show 4 separate March 2011 events in iTunes...even though iPhoto only has 1 actual event for March 2011. Its as if iTunes is not looking at iPhoto for the actual event, but rather pulling its "event" data from somewhere else.
Is anyone else having this issue? This is horrendous, because now in my iPhone, I have multiple "Easter" events, so I can't view them without going in and out of each event separately.
This is definitely a bug that Apple should know about and fix. Any suggestions.
