Guess what... I already have to get my PB repaired. Yay ! :(
Basically I have an iffy keyboard... It sucks. The tab button is obnoxiously loud and my "I" fails to respond if pressed in the wrong angle and my right arrow is ever-so-slightly above the rest of the other keys. Also my PB fails to play audio from its speakers if headphones are inserted, then removed. I have to half-insert, and remove the headphones to get my audio back... Ugh...
I plan to go to the SF Apple store in person.
So the questions:
Will Apple repair it on the spot?
If they have to send it back, how long would that take? And would I have to pick it back up in person, or do I have to go there?
Is the faulty headphone port attatched to the logic board? If so, would this mean a that I'd need to get another one? I don't like the idea of getting a refurbished board... So I hope not.
Would these issues warrent an entire HD backup?
If so, my other computer is a PC, with 128GB free (It has 2 HDs, one is 80GB (50 GB free), and the other is 200GB, 128 free [Slave drive]). This means its formatted as NTFS... How would I go about backing up my entire Mac HD?
I can't believe I already have to go through this. I got my PB around the end of may...
Thanks
EDIT: I think I put this in the wrong place... Sorry mods, feel free to move it to its appropriate spot.

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

Time capsule is meant to be a backup drive...Did you delete all your music off your laptop as soon as it was on your TC?
There are many programs that will copy music off your iphone or ipod to hard drive. google it, very easy and quick to do. I'd use your next TC as intended!

Nooo don't fall into the trap of the evil HTML emails! :eek:

Of course if you are really insistant on this I believe you just send emails like normal execpt you use HTML code markup in the email, and need to change a setting or two so that the email program you are working on recognizes that the outgoing email is HTML.
If you use mail.app here is an applescript that apparently helps in the process.

The new Little Brother album is worth checking out...
MF Doom is a genius...
A Long Hot Summer was one of the best albums from last year no doubt...
Midnight Marauders is my third favourite album of all time (after Illmatic and The Infamous)

You can download the firmwares from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and do the Shift key + Restore in iTunes.

While not as simple as OS 9 you can play mp3's Wav Snd Aif Mov files directly in preview mode. There are 2 ways to preview a file.
1 Column view in the finder will show a preview and info of a file. If it can be played then it will show a control bar. Just press play.
2 Get info... get the info of a file and you can preview the file in the preview widget of the get info box.
Your desktop is accessible in column view from your home folder.
As for point 2 of your question. What type (format) of files are you trying to download?

You are asking for a lot of trouble in doing this, though. Laptops should NOT be transported while they are working, as a ton of damage could be done if they are dropped or bumped in this state.
I understand why you want to do this...but think about it first.

I looked at the Bluetake 500 that you have McGarry...looks pretty good...how much?
I got it at a local store for $50. But I have seen it online for as low as $38-40, plus shipping maybe. I found the best prices on CNET's comparison tool.
eCost (www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=493694) seems to have them on some sort of promotion that appears to bring the price closer to $30. I say "seems" and "appears" because it involves some sort of savings club membership. Apparently free shipping too. I've never bought from them.

What I'm thinking here is that the GPS is integrated into the camera. So when you take a pic, the GPS coordinates are recorded in the metadata so you know where it was taken.
could be. but honestly i don't think that's a good thing. it just makes the equipment more expensive, clunky and less capable than dedicated devices. after all you don't need that feat all the time. only once in a while and then you bring the extra gps. cramming a gps in nowadays small P&S or even DSLR's is just expensive and complicated.
my two cents.

Wow, what a ripoff. You can get it done here in Spain for under $30.
I do live in Spain and I would like to know were and how can you do that.
Hola. Tengo un iP4 de ATT y me gustar�a saber d�nde y c�mo dices que se puede hacer eso por 30$.
Estoy hablando de un iPhone con 4.2.1 y BB 03.10.01.
�Est�s seguro??

I have an Edison and a Richard Feynman that I know are 100% originals and they do not have a copyright line on them. Neither does my Picasso, my Joan Baez, my Ghandi, or my Hitchcock. Only the ones I have gotten from Germany on eBay have the copyright line on them....the Buzz Aldrins, and a set of 6 of the 22x28" posters all have the copyright line on them.

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 would assume the overnight line will form outside the northwest entrance (the one at the bottom of the ramp & tunnel underneath North End. That would make the most sense. This will be my first Apple launch day visit and my plan is to arrive at 6 AM as the doors to the MALL open.
This should be fun! See you guys there!

Sorry for newbie question but if I have my music library on my imac and want to play it on my ipad,does the sync mean I dont actually have to move that music over to the ipad,taking up space but I can just play through the ipad?
I'm a bit confused at your question. When you sync your iPad with your computer, all the songs will be transferred onto there automatically. This is obviously if you apply those settings. You can only sync back songs that were purchased through iTunes, or download a third-party app that allows you to do so.

OK I have had an odd problem on both my G5 and iBook. When trying to download an update through Software Update, it downloads just fine and then says there is an error in expanding the file and that I should check permissions on tmp/softwareupdate/etc...
I have updated my permissions with both Cocktail and the Disk Utility but that didn't work. I eventually threw out all pref files that said software update and that seemed to work on the G5. It didn't on the iBook. I also tried downloading with out installing and it said I didn't have sufficient permissions on /packages/ folder. I checked the permissions and it said I have read/write on that folder.
Here's the really weird thing: I downloaded the 2005-003 update from Versiontracker twice and both times it failed to mount with a checksum error. I have run out of ideas and am thinking about reinstalling 10.3 on the iBook. I can't pinpoint anything that has occurred on the iBook to initiate this.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Rob

With this downloadable market, Microsoft and Sony have gotten it pretty well zipped up. Im not sure about the Wii as I havent really seen it online.
But Microsoft have done big deals with Sega and such, and are porting all of their games to the arcade store. Several gems which make Angry Birds profits look like chump change are available. And Sony have PS1 games available on demand.
I don't think Apple even wants to be a player in the Gaming Industry, not the big one anyways. They are a big competitor in the handheld industry though.
Maybe if Apple launched a console it might make some headway, but launching at this stage would be tricky, it has to forge friendships with developers, get deals cut with them. Last time Apple attempted a push into gaming, they let Halo slip through their fingers.
