I think we're making progress. What are the PC specs? How are the files being delivered? Can you try compressing a little more aggressively (the HD file info shows its 5 times the bitrate of the SD movies)? Do they have to be HD when delivered?
I also suggested this when they first reported the issue. They said they had also tried the files on a "brand new computer" (whatever specs that is). Mind you, my macbook pro is 4,5 years old and plays these files just fine !!
But, thanks for the suggestions, I have now re-compressed more aggresively and at smaller resolution; I haven't heard from them yet, but hopefully it will work...

Well technically... there was a Santa Claus. But he's dead now. Sorry kiddies. He died hundreds of years ago. "And you can find more information at your local library".
Anyway, we can all kind-of assume that EVENTUALLY Moto will release a 7470 or whatever, since they have a 74** series going. Unless of course they go under, or Apple goes to IBM, or they rename the series, or call the next chip the 7456, or what ever.
But calling the 1.25 GHz an overclocked 1 GHz before they even start selling them, is jumping the gun a bit. That's like calling the new 2.8 GHz P4 an overclocked P3 (wait, bad example). Everyone seems to be forgetting that the FSBs are actually 4 x 100 and 4 x 133 (DDR 100 and 133 for AMD). 167 w/ DDR333 is actually pretty cool. Even if it is bastardized.
Don't get me wrong. Apple IS competing against the world of WinTel, and they aren't doing so well in speed or price. I, for one, like it just as much when people have legitimate complaints as when they have a legitimate complement. If we just accept the way things are, they'll never get better. Macs are easier to use, more stable, etc, etc... but they're not as fast. And "Apple is a business" is not a good excuse. It just proves my point. So stop saying, "if you don't like it go buy a PC".
Cuz they will. Duh.
If the new Dual 1.25s are as fast as a ~2 GHz x86, I'd be happy. Have you ever tried to edit video on a PC? Zero to Crash in 60 sec. If the iBook can do some basic stuff like typing letters and surfin' the net, and it's pretty affordable (and light, and sturdy, and has a long battery life), I'm happy. Benchmarks, shmenchmarks, it's real world performance that counts.
When I feel like Apple's acting like M$ (yeah, that's right, I said it), and a >$1000 PC can whip the *** of the $3000+ "Top-of-the-Line" Mac, I'm not happy.
And believe me, yer gonna hear about it.
Now where are the darn 7500 G5s we were promised (please note sarcasm).

Hello everyone!
Well, just received my G5 Quad yesterday! I have a couple of issues with it, and thank God the cooling system is fully functional. The original owner told me that he replaced the power supply, as the serial number fell in line with some of the Quad models needing replacement power supplies.
Good news for me: The seller took care of this a while back. Now, here is something really weird. I am not getting the Yellow trickle light to come on when I remove the air deflector shield. I wonder if this has to do with the new power supply Apple put in this thing? I tried a SMU reset and PRAM reset to no avail. Apple Service Diagnostic and Apple Hardware Test report everything normal and running normal with regards to my logic board, and processors.
I even re-calibrated the processors just to ease my concern of coolant leaks; the calibration test passed with flying colors - the Processors are fine and working normally. My current temps for the CPUs are as follows:
CPU A Core 1 Diode: 120.4F
CPU A Core 2 Diode: 120.0F
CPU B Core 1 Diode: 125.9F
CPU B Core 2 Diode: 124.8F
I assume all this is normal..
Next issue has to do with noise. I think I have isolated the main noise coming from the Nvidia 7800 GT - I was told this is an extremely LOUD video card. I am pending an order for the 6600 256MB version which has just a black heatsink and no fan.
Other than those problems above, the machine is running just fine.. I am just concerned as to why the Yellow Trickle LED isn't lighting up or coming on when I remove the air deflector shield. The only time the RED Stop light came up was when I was trying to boot up Apple Service Diagnostic OS Version.. I forget the page, but in the service manual, it states that Quad G5 is NOT compatible with 2.6.3 Operating system version of the Apple Service Diagnostic, where as Open Firmware is.
Again, no other problems recorded.. Although, it came with 8GB of memory, I found two sticks to be bad and as a result my Quad now has 6GB as was stated on the invoice when I bought this from the seller.
I hope someone can help or shed some light on why the Yellow Light is not coming on. Not that it doesn't bother me, its just not normal behavior.
Thank you.
Josh.
Oh, I am pleased to mention to that my liquid cooling system is a Panasonic model and not Delphi(2 big black blocks in case no one remembered what it looked like).

Is this possible? I understand that I can take Garage Band tracks and import to Logic Pro 9, but I want to go the other direction, i.e., I would like to use Garage Band on an iPad2 (not yet purchased) as the vehicle for playing backing tracks (for live performance) that I have built in Logic Pro.
I think this about software, but just in case, I am running Logic Pro 9 and the latest Garage Band update to the latest Mac OS. The hardware is the latest iMac, 8g of Ram. I am using Presonus Firestudio for the A/D inputs to Logic Pro.
Thanks,
hank

Hey vollspacken,
If you're a student, have you checked out Apple's educational discounts? I think they were selling the 667 and 800 Mhz models for about $1,900 and $2,400, respectively. I paid about $2,600 back in January for a 550 Mhz. :(

You'd have to be fairly close to them for more than a brief encounter and the radiation dissipates after awhile. Not only that, they'd have to get fairly large doses in the first place to emit much radiation.
I think the real concern would be not so much the animals themselves. For an animal to represent a real exposure risk, it would probably have to be so "hot" that it would not live very long at all, nor would anything that were to eat it. It is about the contaminated material they might pick up and carry away from Fukushima. Each creature just has to bring us a very small amount, enough of them in concert, over time, could in theory make our cities, or parts of the, uninhabitable. Not sure what we could do to prevent it.

Good price.. except it seems Superbiiz only provides a 30-day repair/replacement warranty. After which, it's up to the manufacturer if they'll repair/replace the item. In this case, Hynix... who apparently don't talk to consumers about RMA - they only talk to the sellers. So.. uh.. well, they may or may not replace it.
Buying from OWC/Transintl provide a lifetime warranty.
So.. risk versus less risk... or cheaper vs expensive.
you can then buy a square trade warranty for 3 years

Hi everyone!
Well i own a Macbook Pro 2.4GHz C2D and I have heard that SSD are very good ... only that there is a problem, I know nothing about SSD.
I want a 120GB SSD only.
What do you advise? Heard of "SandForce controller" and "trim". What does that have to do with the SSD's?
Thank you! :)

Rubin's comments about what Google collects/allows come off surprisingly evasive, and the way he keeps hiding behind "well, it's open source" is an annoying red herring (surprised they didn't call him out for that.)
Jobs' comments are a lot more definite and reassuring but only truthful as long as it's shown that Apple isn't collecting location info from the iPhone database. If Apple is collecting that info then he's full of crap.

Im glad apple is still supporting OS, im really pleased they are drawing a bit of attention to bonjour/Zero-config/whatever they call it this week, its a cool technology that is only really recieveing bigtime attention on the mac.
Im not surprised that the OS version of 10.4.7 is a bit different than the commercial version of 10.4.7, bound to happen that there are some stuff in the kernel that apple cant let out in the wild due to external licence agreements.

AMEN. Aperture 3 is an unusable wreck. And it wasn't just the 10.6.4 update. It wasn't even close to being ready for prime-time when it was released. Any image over 10MP results in app-crashing beach balls when using the rotate tool (almost 100% of the time), even on the newest MBP. Over 10MP in RAW...forget it altogether in my experience.
Try Lightroom 3
Amazing stuff :)

Hello all!!
Whilst waiting for the iMac refresh I have been wondering what parts I should upgrade when buying...
I plan on playing CCS / DoDs possibly WoW, also using Ps, Ai & Indesign. So I am wondering should I upgrade both the processor and RAM or just the processor or just the RAM? I plan on getting a 21.5" unless they bring back the 24".
Also I will be paying by finance as the money I had saved for it had to cover an emergency, is there anything I should know before paying by finance?
Thanks

I think the record was about 9,500 or so back in September. It will surely break 10,000 this time though and I would hope it doesn't go down, however it's inevitable it'll be slow.
It was upgraded recently too, I think to two or three dedicated servers.
Edit: Most users ever online was 9,519, 09-06-2007 at 03:40 AM.
As I link directly to the forum spy, I didn't notice the forum information that you have posted above, thanks for pointing this out.

With the ATI card, you'll be able to tweak settings with the ATI Display control panel. The oversize 6800GT blocks one of your PCI slots too - X850XT does not.

When in Safari (5.0.5), the browser automatically shows as Internet Explorer 4.0 (while using the Develop: User Agent: Default (Automatically Chosen))
When I got to Develop: User Agent: Safari 5.0.5 Mac then it shows that I am using Netscape 6.0!
Why is the User Agent different than the one I've chosen? I have a online Banking site that checks the browser and doesn't support the old Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers. So I end up just choosing different ones until the website finally loads properly.
How can I get it to show as Safari 5.0.5 Mac all the time?
