OF course you do - need to repurchase. Do you really expect Apple to give away higher resolution content to those that already have the 320x versions?
If so, you need a reality check. Really.
It appears that you need to repurchase your pre iTunes 7.0 music videos if you want the improved quality. I experimented by repurchasing one of my pre iTunes 7.0 music videos. I now have two copies of the same music video. One at the old resolution; the other at the new resolution.
I believe this to be unsatisfactory. This is not a format change, but an incremental quality improvement. My computer is authorised, my account is valid, and my downloads legal.
Apple is getting two bites at the cherry!

and where do you get that info?
The iPhone 3Gs has an ARM type 7 CPU. It is the first iDevice to have one, with the iPod Touch 2G being the last type 6. Apple no longer includes the type 6 instruction set. Similar to how Snow Leopard no longer works on PPC Macs. The iPhone 3Gs was also the first iDevice to have the PowerVR SGX535 GPU. The iPod Touch 2G was the last to have the PowerVR MBX Lite 3D. The driver kext is no longer in the firmware and its doubtful that the 4.2.1 one would work.
Furthermore, Apple doesn't sign the soft SHSH for 4.3 and none of the jailbreaking tools out support it. So unless the OP wrote his own method for jailbreaking 4.3 and getting around the soft SHSH, he has just faked his firmware and build number.
Wooooohooooohoooo go boy!! :D

I grabbed a few iMacs off eBay recently, I was wondering if these (slot loading 600 mhz) were completely silent like the older G3 iMacs? I used one years ago and remember it being nearly silent with the obvious exceptions of the CD drive and hard drive. I assume they're convection cooled? Is the graphics card silent as well? Are they all like this?
They'll be arriving at my doorstep on Wednesday, can't wait. :D

The card only comes with fan-out cables (SFF-8087 to 4i*SATA/SAS ends; 1x per SFF-8087 port, so in the case of the ARC-1880ix12, it will come with 3x of them).
In theory, you could order the version of the Maxupgrades kit without the MiniSAS cable, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and get it (it may be shorter, as those that come with the Areca are 0.5 meters in length). Assuming the cable with the kit is shorter, it won't be as messy as a longer cable could be in terms of routing (those that have used that particular kit haven't mentioned it was a mess that I recall).
You won't need any other cabling to connect the card to the HDD bays (it all comes in the MaxUpgrades kit).
If you want to use an internal port with an external enclosure, there's a special cable you'd need to get for this. If you want to use the external port (keep in mind, this typically shares ports with an internal connector in past models, such as the 1680 series), you'd need to buy one. Either way, these do not come with the card, and you'd only need to get them if you're planning on running an external enclosure/s.
BTW, stick to 1.0 meters or less with SATA disks (1.0 m tends to be the shortest you can get off the shelf, but other lengths are possible via a custom order - I've done this before), and do not use the PCI bracket mount adapters to take internal to external cables (results in instability due to contact resistance - been through this battle before). These adapters are meant to be used with SAS, which runs at a much higher signal voltage (20V) than internal SATA (400mV).
You don't need to use the older version of Firefox. I was referring to Safari in terms of older versions that had been tried and didn't work (not tried Safari 5, but given past revisions, I'd skip even trying it when I know Firefox will work properly).
As per how to do it, a browser works in any OS supported by the card (browser connects via an IP address assigned to the RAID card). Now the firmware is actually in 4 parts (i.e. what you'd get in a firmware download off of Areca's support site). Assuming you don't need to upgrade anything else, you just use EFI to replace BOOT.bin, which is the BIOS version (leave the others alone).
There should be instructions in the manual that comes with the card fif you're a bit confused (it's in the others, so it should be there this go around as well). There's also confirmation check boxes to be marked before any flash is actually performed anyway (nice little safety feature), so you can look around without causing problems.
Thanks, you've really helped out.
One question that does come across though is once I flash the card with EFI and select the SSD as a boot drive from an existing OSX install I will want to install Mac OSX fresh on this now bootable SSD and ditch the default OSX installation on which I chose the SSD as the boot drive. Can I do this? Or must I clone the existing OSX install onto the new SSD drive first?
I was thinking after making the SSD boot drive I could simply boot off the OSX install discs and install OSX on this SSD?
It's going to be a new system with no important data, so I don't care about cloning the existing OSX install which comes on the 1TB HDD with the 8-core 2010 Mac Pro. In fact I am going to pull that drive out altogether.
Perhaps I am complicating things too much here and after flashing the card to EFI, I can just shut down, take out the original 1TB HDD with OSX. Start the PC, launch the Areca EFI RAID BIOS menu with the right key press, put the 2x SSD's in pass through mode and 4x 3TB in RAID5. Afterwards just boot off the OSX cd and it will see the 2x SSD drives and the RAID5 volume and just install OSX on one of the SSD's like I want? Will I have troubles installing Win 7 through bootcamp on the 2nd SSD drive when its running off the Areca in pass through mode ?
Also maybe you know, for installing 2x 6G SSD's in the 2nd 5'25" optical bay I obviously need either the OWC multimount adapter bracket 2.5 to 5.25 or other, but for power do I need a SATA power Y splitter or something to get power to both SSD's ? Both of these will be connected to the Areca in pass through mode, the length of the included miniSAS cable should be fine to reach to the SSD's in the optical bay right ?
Finally the one question that I can't find a definite answer to from anyone is if the X5690 Xeons will work in the 8-core Mac Pro, I know the X5680 do from others on this forum. OWC is offering the X5690 in their CPU upgrade options so I take it works. But maybe they flash/alter the EFI to support the microcode for the X5690 ?

I'm not sure, if you check around there are some other threads about this topic, you might want to check w/ Dell or Viewsonic too.
Sometimes you hear about blurring issues when people use LCD monitors as TVs, I don't know if it's a refresh rate issue but on my Dad's 19" Sony LCD w/ a PC tv tuner card the image is alright but nothing spectacular.

I just saw the update available in software update and clicked install. Pity as I wanted to see whether the app store would show it as an update. (I bought Aperture the traditional way rather than through the app store)
The app store icon showed an update was available. This is how I found out about it.

Hi Everyone,
This is my first macrumors.com posting! Nice to meet you, *wave, wave*. :) I�m a pretty indecisive person so the questions I�ve been grappling with over the past few weeks have been pretty overwhelming! (Sorry for the long posting, but please read it. I need your help!)
Basically, here�s the dilemma. My 12� Powerbook (bought in Aug 2003) stopped liking me sometime ago (about a year) and has been giving me kernel panics. Now I get them 2-3 times a day! (In fact, I�m writing this posting in Word so I can save it because I�ve had 2 kernel panics while writing this! Darn, I hope I can get something for it on eBay.) So it is definitely time to move on especially since I�ve been to the Apple Store several times and they always have a different story as to how to fix it. And no I don�t have Apple Care. (Most recently they told me it would cost $350 just to send it to CA to look at!! Forget that!)
So after reading several macrumors.com postings =) I�ve decided to order a 14� iBook with Apple Care protection and a 60 GB iPod (w/ $179 education mail-in rebate). Problem is that I want to order an iBook special order with 80 GB (I need the extra 20 GB for all my graphic design stuff and I�m terrified of external drives, have heard they die on people! Yikes!). The Apple Store in the mall won�t do special orders in store so I have to order it online.
I heard that the Apple Credit Card is offering 120 days same as cash so I applied for it online and got approved for only enough to cover the laptop. But in order to get the $179 iPod rebate I have to order them both at the same time. Therefore I have to use 2 credit cards. Apple Online accepts only 1 credit card. Same goes for 1-800-My-Apple.
So I sauntered over to the Computer Store on campus. The people there were very friendly and helpful and offered to do a special order and use 2 credit cards. They also offered to call up Apple Credit Card and see if I could get 120 days same as cash even though it�s not directly from Apple. But they said No. So I waited a few days for inspiration to decide for me. Got worried about waiting (Sept 24th is last day for rebate and PB is failing) and so ordered from the Computer Store on campus, put down 10 percent, and walked away with a new 60 GB iPod.
Then this morning I got a call from Apple Credit Card saying that guess what? They got a call from someone (the computer store?) and now they can up my limit to just barely cover 14� iBook plus Apple Care plus 60 GB iPod. So now I can order it online. Good news and bad news. I called up the Computer Store and they said they�d cancel my order and refund my 10 percent down payment if I brought in the new 60 GB iPod that I would receive from the online order (I already opened the iPod I brought home from the store). But now I�m wondering if it�s worth it to order it online anymore. I would save $120 tax plus $100 in finance charges and might be able to use a coupon code if I can find an unused one on this website. However I�d have to go through the hassle of canceling my order from the Computer Store (plus my guilt that they went through all that trouble and didn't land a sale).
THE DECISION: I need to decide whether to order from Apple Education Online Store or from the Computer Store on campus. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ASAP! (Because I�ll have to cancel the order at the Computer Store very soon if I decide to do so!)
Online Advantages:
No Tax (saves $120)
Maybe use coupon?
120 days same as cash financing (Saves about $100 or so)
Can charge everything to one finance-free card (refund $ to other CC used in down payment)
Less worry about whether the iPod rebate will be verified (no split payments and also direct from Apple)
Online Disadvantages:
Hassle of canceling order at Computer Store & bringing back new online iPod
May not get Apple Care (I heard that if Apple notices that it�s sent to a FL address they cancel the Apple Care? Call and check?)
Must wait longer to get computer (comes from China, 1-2 weeks)
Can only talk to Apple Customer Service if there are problems
Purely speculation, but I hear that some iBooks are screwy and maybe direct from China iBooks are more screwy than if you order it from the store?
In Store Advantages:
Get computer faster (Next Tuesday, Sept. 20)
Direct people I can talk to if I have any problems
Can order more products now on my increased limit Apple credit card since I've already charged part of my order to another card (Can order Apple Mouse and Keyboard and cases for iPod and iBook)
In Store Disadvantages:
Won�t get same-as-cash financing (Will lose about $100+)
Must pay Tax (Will lose about $120)
Must go to school to pick it up (not shipped directly)
P.S. Once I make my decision I�ll post what option I decided to go with! Thanks for your help! :)

Yeah, the AppleInsider article provides quite a bit more detail.
including the orientation sensor that I mentioned...
Taking things a bit further, Apple said the electronic device "may be capable of rotation and may have an orientation sensor for determining the orientation of the device." Based on the sensed orientation, the areas on the bezel designated for the user controls could then be altered or relocated to match the current orientation. Likewise, the company said, the user interface software operating on the device can alter the location of the visual guides to match the current position of the areas on the bezel designated for the user controls.

I hear you, I didn't mean pale imitation as in "to imitate", I just think he is like hip-hop "Lite" or the "Light Edition" version. IMO he lacks real content and depth, contentwise he can't touch the greats who have come before him. He is just too crossover Top 40 for my taste, if it wasn't for all the guest appearances by other artists on his albums, I don't think they would be half as good as they are...Just my opinion...
I second this. His sophomore attempt is only more evidence to his lack of lyrical content.

Personally I would have gotten a g5 (probably the cheapest model) and a cheap-ass LCD, like a Gateway FPD1830 (18.1" - $400).
But that is more expensive, less RAM, etc.
You made a pretty good purchase.
Enjoy your new computer :).

Those 2 mentioned were the lower default resolutions and I believe the others were 1280 x 720, 1280 x 768, 1368 x 768. I like the 1280 x 720 but most recent games only get maybe 8 - 15 fps at that resolution.

this would be the most useless device ever. Think abuot it. bluetooth has a range that would require the iPod to be in the room with your computer. So you don't relaly gain any convienence. And you'll ahve to be there for hours to transfer the songs. bluetooth runs at 1 mbps. usb runs at 11 mbps. so bluetooth is 11 times slower than usb, whcih already takes hours to transfer all the songs, and 400 times sloer then firewire. Meanwhile, you could simply plug it in since you're next to the computer anyway, andhave it all done in minutes.
Bluetooth offers no convienence, is way too slow. Whats the point, there isn't one. Its not like their going to get it streaming music to other devices through bluetooth either. They'd be better off putting in a small radio transmitter of some sort so it can be played through a stereo that way wirelessly. Bluetooth is a technology that has limited applications.

We're in the transition phase toward a new computing paradigm: the tablet. There's going to be more excitement and interest surrounding it.
Laptops and desktops are still useful and necessary, but they're old hat, and do not represent the kind of forward-looking growth market that the tablet/smartphone market does, which is set to explode beyond most people's expectations over the next 1-2 years.
MR is just moving with the winds of change.

Hi all,
Background: I have an iphone 3G and a MacBook Pro. Have had both for over a year, long term Mac user and have had a good relationship with both products, we have up until recently been a happy family.
Problem: On the last sync between iphone and laptop, I seem to have ended up with duplications.
- Artist List: I can have an artist listed twice, for the same song.(note this is not consistent across the board just for some).
- Song List: I can have songs listed twice, for the same artist.(note this is not consistent across the board just for some).
- Songs duplicated in albums: Song 1 will be in there twice, thus a playlist within that album will run as song 1 followed by song 1 again, song 2 followed by song 2 again and so on and so on. Not fun if you just want to hear an album as an album. (note this is not consistent across the board just for some).
- Album artwork: A song will be listed with the artwork for the album it appears on and then be listed again with the artwork for the single it was released with. Is this because somewhere in itunes store land when you go "search for album artwork" it has some kind of confusion meltdown and doesn't know which one to give you? (Note, this happens with not only albums I've purchased through itunes but also for albums imported from purchased hard-copy CDs). Again, this is also not a consistent error across the board, just in some instances and not others. How can you get a single and an album version when you only purchase one through itunes? And how can you get a single version and an album version when it's imported directly from a purchased CD? (weird).
I've also noticed similar problems when I go to sync the calendars. It's duplication hell.
Question: Is there a way to delete songs out of lists on the iphone? Or am I going to have to do some major surgery i.e. reverting the whole thing back to factory settings? If I do have to go back to factory settings will I then need to also re-input all my other stuff as well such as address book entries?
I'm pretty worried that the next time I sync, I'm going to end up with triplets.
Thanks for all help in advance.

Interesting "let's calm down" comments from Gizmodo (http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/tmobile-and-apple-deal-in-the-works-we-think-not-206284.php) - with which I happen to agree.

Thanks! Thats pretty good value for money. I just thought someone out there would offer (really) cheap web hosting for non-for-profit orgs etc... I guess im naive.

Wondering if the MB138LL/A Mini with C2D 1.83 and 1gb of Ram will handle 720p videos. I have ripped many of my movies to mkv files and I am worried that the GMA built on Video card will cause me issues. Some of my files range from 1.56gb to 4.6gb in size. I pick up the machine on the weekend so any help woudld be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks
