So Amazon has reduced their pricing on their music and songs to a minimum of 29p unlike Apple's 99p policy. I was already quite annoyed with Apple's pricing on their songs and video content in the first place, but since Amazon reduced their prices they have took a very big keep forward contesting with Apple's iTunes store. Even the new releases from Amazon are available for as little as 29p!
Clearly this has put me off from buying from iTunes store again, after all, although off topic but most film content on the iTunes store can easily be purchased on DVD format for the same price! Don't you guys think this is a rip-off?

So my Iphone 3gs says it has no service I phoned Telus and he transfered me to apple and the person said i could get it replaced for $250 I was wanting to get the iphone 5 when it came out. So i was wondering if it would be worth it at that price and sell it when the iphone 5 comes out or should I just buy a Iphone 4 now.... I dont think a 3gs would sell very good when the Iphone 5 comes out.... so what do you people think would be a good route to take
If you get the 4, get the white one. It's selling at a far higher price than the black.
Get the white, sell it when the 5 comes out. And pay the minor difference.

I use the SBAdblock toggle from the modyouri repo. It works great.
that's the same one i had before i updated my phone. i just looked through the source http://apt.modmyi.com/ and couldn't find it. maybe i overlooked??
*edit: repo source addy is http://repo.modyouri.com*

I just switched from PC to Mac. I received a Base Station Snow Second Hand and the Password is unknown. Is there a way to reset it on the Base Station itself, or is there a way to reconfigure it using my Setup Assistant under Utilities?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the older airport base station has the same paperclip hole in the bottom.... I think that's the answer.
Thanks.

I bought an mx laser mouse and it is amazing. Having all of those buttons becomes indispensible once you get used to it. I have a Macally ice keyboard and it is nice, similar to the powerbook keyboard. I saw the kensington in person and it also looks very nice and has some dedicated buttons for iTunes. That keyboard was not available but I would consider it because it looks pretty slick. They had it at CompUSA in Hawaii. Although I did not see it available here in Louisiana. Best of luck. And if you get that kenington let us know how it is.

Yes. A switch or router, e.g. from Netgear, LinkSys, would work. If you're downloading large files using the two computers simultaneously, they'd share the bandwidth and slow each other's downloads, but with normal use (browsing, email) you wouldn't notice any difference with having both connected simultaneously. I have four computers often connected simultaneously.
If you're likely to be transferring large amounts of data between the two Macs, get a gigabit switch, which is 10x faster but costs maybe $10 more than a 100Mbit/s switch or router.
In fact, you may not want wireless now, but may in the future, so getting a wireless router like blevins suggested means you could connect e.g. an iPad, or let a friend or family member connect when visiting. You can turn off the wireless when not in use.

^^^ very cool!
Strictly speaking, I doubt it was necessary to replace all the capacitors, but as someone that still goofs around with a soldering iron, I was gratified to see him doing this level of repair. :)
In the vintage Mac world, the 80s era machines are beginning to need capacitor replacements. The thinking is to just do all the caps, simply because the others are likely to go soon anyway. There are guys on 68kmla (http://68kmla.org/) that are selling tantalum capacitor sets for various Macs. It's pretty cool to see the community come together to keep the old machines working. :)

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).

Also, I've heard plenty say they'll "never play a movie tie in game" how is a sporting event tie in any better? Plus to get it by 2008 that game will be really rushed by Nintendo's development standards :) Expect release in time for the Winter Olympics in 2010!

Upgraded from 4.2.1 non jb to 4.3.2 non jb as snow breeze kept giving me errors when I tried to restore to custom ipsw. I have shsh blobs saved to Cydia up to 4.1.
I'm just really confused if snow breeze doesn't work then how else can I jb now - I'm on Vista only.
Please help a noob out :(
Since you updated to stock 4.3.2 you are hopefully not relying on any soft unlock. Use this

How many different cables have you tried?
I've found that even though a cable may look fine, there may still be something wrong with it.
One thing is that the plastic fins can get crushed so upon quick glance the connector looks okay but upon closer inspection if even 1 fin is folded over it could prevent the connection.
Might also look into the port on the computer to ensure all 8 contacts in the Ethernet port are there and aligned correctly.

Hello all, quick question for those who use folder enhancer. I am currently JB'ed at 4.3.2 iPhone 4 (AT&T). Every time I update an app through Apple's App Store, it goes through the normal "Loading" then "installing"'then the progress bar goes to the end but never finishes and the only way for me to get it installed is to reboot my phone. Once the phone is rebooted, the app is out of the folder and on the next page by itself. Anyone running into this?

Does anybody notice there is an ebay buck IE9 promotional program going on. You can earn 10% ebay bucks on eligible purchase. see here for details: http://pages.ebay.com/rewards/IE9BucksFAQ.html
I ordered my entry level 27" thru ebay macmall. their list price is $1,650. I got 10%+$5 ebay bucks. that brings it down to 1,480. that's a hugh saving!!hooray:D
Downside is I do need a trackpad...I'll swap out the magic mouse on ebay when it arrives.
Also I'll have to buy some gift cards thru ebay in order to redeem my ebay bucks.:rolleyes:

Really two different things the OP needs. One he knows about, and one he doesn't. ;)
First, a request for some clarification. You have a DSL modem that has a single Ethernet port on the back, right? You stated "no wireless". I'm assuming that that's due to some kind of restriction - i.e. workplace or parents or whoever said "no wireless". Is this correct? Or do you simply mean that your DSL modem doesn't have WiFi?
Anyway, if there is some "no wireless" restriction, then the wireless router one person suggested is out.
Does the DSL modem have NAT built in? Do you know what NAT is? (Do a little Wikipedia research...) NAT allows several computers to share a single Internet connection. It changes the packets going out to the Internet so that they all come from the same address. It also provides *some* firewall protection, in that incoming packets are only accepted if they match-up with an outgoing packet. By default, a NAT router won't accept any incoming connections. You can set it up to accept incoming connections, in that case you need to designate which computer to send them to for a given port.
This is of no concern to you unless you are running a server, etc.
If your DSL modem does not have NAT, and also doesn't have some kind of firewall, then you are currently *very* vulnerable to attack.
It would be useful to post your DSL modem model.
If it does have NAT, then I'm a bit surprised that they didn't build in a small Ethernet switch and give you multiple Ethernet ports. If it does have NAT, then you should only need to add an Ethernet switch. Get a gigabit switch, which will make then connection BETWEEN your Macs very fast. (For copying files back and forth, etc.) For the Internet connection, gigabit is a non-issue, since Internet speeds are (typically) way below that of even a 100M switch.
If it doesn't have NAT, then you need a router or firewall. Think "wifi router without the wifi". It's a bit of a specialty product, because they are usually built into a WiFi device, cable modem, or DSL modem.
You can also look for a compatible DSL modem that has a built-in router and switch.
You will have to check your provider's terms of service to see if it's OK to connect more than one computer. Generally, though, the provider won't be able to detect that you are using NAT, so won't know in any case.
