Yep - they get downsampled to 16bit / 44.1khz, just like AirPlay via Apple TV or Airport Express..

dynamicvworking out the key from the lock and pass onto another locksmith to make an exact copy to open a house or allow others to tour your house for free is not wrong? gee, what's the point of the lock on you door? what's the point of any password on your keychain (access)?

@kfred - good point, though if you are on this forum setting up VPNs, I doubt you even know how to use Optimum Online for email :)
Anyway, if anyone is interested, let me know and we'll talk, you can then Google my name (you'll find over 5,000 references to it) and you'll see I won't do anything bad with your credentials.
Thank you all and I hope someone helps me deliver the US E! for my gf :)

The point is, Apple needs to show labels that the ITMS is selling music in order to persuade the labels to sign and renew agreements.\
Additionally, it will continue to be very difficult for any other company to kill Apple on price per track, as the labels are already pressuring Apple to bump the prices up. Newcomers will of course feel that same pressure.
Apple has a lead because itunes / ipod system is the best.
That said, i have no problem with ipod, nor Itunes. if other stores want to sell product to be used on ipod, wrapped in drm? gluck to them. but i don't think illegally coming up with a workaround is right.
Apple has a right to a closed drm. it is free market, and other companies shouldnt be able to force the issue. BUT i do believe apple ought to open up more on it. Allow other companies to offer fairplay protected content. ie, record labels, to allow them to sell protected cd's, with software to allow NO COPYING, but allow albums to be ripped into itunes, but WITH DRM.
i do not believe drm is evil. Artists and labels need to protect against illegal copying. they have a right to their work being thought of as valued. and not something to be stolen or given away freely.

I am guilty to be contributing to this. If I had never bought my iPhone 3GS in October 2009 I would not be buying a 27" iMac this year at 2011 refresh as well as getting an iPad2 by year's end. I also will be upgrading to iPhone 5. So yes if it wasn't for the IOS device I wouldn't be helping the Mac revenue. The IOS devices are definitely bringing new customers for the Mac
Interesting, I'm the exact opposite. Almost three years ago I bought an iMac on the urging of a friend. The experience was great, so much so I now own two iphones and an iPad in addition to the iMac. It can go in both directions.

Yeah. But they could make a higher end Walkman mp3 player to compete against the iPod. They already have name recognition.
...if the did that they should discontinue the lower end models to avoid confusion and adding a quality or "coolness" to the name Walkman.

I don't know anything about ATA passwords, but one of the expected new features of Lion is whole disk encryption. You might as well wait for that and get it free with the OS and supported by Apple.
I'm aware, but that is months away, and who knows how long it will take for this Filevault re-write to be stable. Since I'm operating as a consultant, I can't necessarily wait for that.
So... no one knows if this is possible?

I just installed a full screen protector for my iPad 2. The back turned out pretty well. I started out with the front and it seems to have lots of bubbles left.
I don't have the feeling these bubbles will disappear within the next 48 hours.
So I was wondering, how long can I wait to give it another try? As in take it off and install the same protector again? Cause I have a feeling I didn't use enough solution the first try?

Cool.
I've already removed the HD from the 12".
I've had a a look at ifixit for the 15" and it certainly does look A LOT more straightforward I have to say!

1)The who cares line...love it...great reply.
2)The nonsense you speak of is why Amazon is killing the iPad as an e-reader. Don't believe me? Go read the tens of thousands of comments about how hard it is to read a book (not a website....not an email...a book) on an iPad.
We have both an iPad 1 and Kindle. Absolutely no comparison for reading books...iPad just stinks.
Who said anything about fail? You need to ease up and stick to the comments otherwise you look like a fool. Too late I guess.
I would not say the iPad stinks as an ereader, but the kindle is certainly better for reading books. I have read 15 to 20 full length books on my iPad, about the same on my phone, and hundreds on my kindle.
I travel a lot , so since I got my iPad, I do not bring the kindle (I have a DX). I am actually considering buying a little one just for novels, I got the DX for PDFs, a function the iPAD is 1000000 times better suited for.
All three devices are better than a PC for reading books. The order is clearly Kindle, iPad, iPhone.
Would be nice if Amazon could get the kindle to support some of the multimedia book features they do in the iOS and desktop apps. I am not even sure of the kindle itself supports the real page numbers the other apps support.

I called them twice today, they said they aren't getting any and already got their shipment for the day.
So that means people are standing in line for nothing?
I meant it's worth it when you finally get one. I spent 5 hours in line on Friday to pick mine up!

Dear Forum Folks:
Perhaps someone might be able to assist me with your insight & keen knowledge.
I own the first iPad. It runs 3.2.2. I want to upgrade to the latest version. Every attempt I make ends unsuccessfully.
Example:
iTunes: Update to latest system (click)
(extracting software)
ERROR: "iTunes could not backup the iPad because the backup session failed"
(link to more information appears: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275) (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275))
This is what they suggest on the page:
_Update to the latest version of iTunes (did this)
_Update to the latest version of your operating system (that's what I'm trying to do)
_Restart your computer (of course)
_Open the proper ports and allow access to Apple servers (didn't do this)
_USB Troubleshooting (not an issue)
I would 'Restore Settings' - but there's a few reasons I don't want to:
1) iTunes library - I selectively put only a few songs on it.. not the whole collection
2) App memory/middle of game. Yup. I've put about 18 hours into "BT Gangsta" and I don't want to have to go back and do all those missions again
(these are all lazy excuses, but it you have any recommendation, anything would be helpful). Of course, as a last resort, I will reach out to the apple folks via phone.. as a ball of joy as that sounds.
Many thanks,
AQuil

As far as the guarantees go, this is what I see at negrielectronics.com (http://negrielectronics.com/apple-iphone-unlocking-service-permanent-solution.html) right now:
Your iPhone is now unlocked permanently!
Unlocked. Permanent. 100% Guaranteed or your money back*.
Your order may require verification. Please look for an email from us to further verify your order. This is a high fraud item and we take every precaution and approach fraud very seriously.
*(If the unlock is not successful, please email us a video link showing your IMEI and the unlock being unsuccessful).
**To deter possible fraud, we also reserve the right to remotely lock your device by IMEI
That's awfully tempting...they accept major CCs. You could always dispute the charge...

I was at work yesterday installing some ram into a new eMac and I quickly ran the 'Apple Hardware test kit' over it...
Under one of the Panels in the test kit it has a BATTERY section.. marked 'Right' and 'Left'
However, no models of Apple Laptop/dekstop computer have been available with Dual batteries until well after these Test Kits surfaced years ago now.
I suggest you try on your iMac or eMac with test kit 1.2.1 (this is what i used).. Its under the profiler tab on the top right...
Interesting huh.. I doubt this was left in accidently, as the last powerbook that support two batts, (The PISMO) never came with the Test Kits...

I paid for and downloaded the .WAV-Version. I was kind of annoyed though that they don't offer a version in some lossless codec like ALAC or FLAC that has tagging capabilities. You shouldn't have to enter basic metadata yourself... :cool:
People are even arguing over (http://www.last.fm/music/Radiohead/_/Morning+Mr+Magpie/+shoutbox) whether it's supposed to say Mr Magpie or Mr. Magpie. :rolleyes:
If they are charging more for the WAV, it better be 24bit resolution.
It's not.

If only the artists would get paid it would be perfect. :cool:
AllofMP3 is not doing too well now that VISA and Mastercard has blacklisted it, so download while you can before it's source of income is dead

Hi, I will not be camping out, however I am disabled and wonder if their nwill be a (special Line) for people that have disabled (PLACARDS). Also, does anyone know how long the pre reservation lines will be and how fast they will move, base on like (person #43) who is in line? Also, my reservation says 7 am, but could there be like a 1000 customers in the reservation line at 7 am? I'm just trying to get a (CLEAR UNDERSTANDING) of how long I will be in line because of my disability. Please let me know from past experiance.
thanks, purplestigers:apple:
Spoke with the apple store today. They will have 2 lines one for reservations and one for non reservations. I asked about disabled people. The rule is you must wait in the line. But they said they would be more than happy to help you any way they could. The mall is not going to let us line up until like 5am. In the past when apple opens the doors the lines are fairly long. I have seen them stretch all the way from the apple store down towards Macy's. I'd say at 7am there will be at least 50 non reservation people in line and more than that in the reservation line. I cant really speculate how fast the line will move since the farthest back i have ever been in line was 8. My suggestion would be to have someone wait in line for you and then when the store is about to open go meet up with them. Good luck. Lets us know how it went. :-)
