iLife - All things, iPod, iMac, iPhone, iTunes
It's no secret, I love my Mac. I also love my iPod and iPhone and will soon love the iPad if I can get over the name.
 I just discovered the new app for iPhone, "Gmail Push" so that I can get a phone alert when someone reports a post. It ROCKS! Any other favorite apps I should know about? Post your tips, tricks, thoughts, etc. here for all things iLife.

We are a two-Mac household. We also have an iPhone (mine) and two iPods (Jaime's new Touch and my older Nano) along with a Time Capsule and Apple TV. While the iPad is intriguing, honestly, it doesn't solve a problem that I have. I have a Kindle, a Macbook Pro (sweet jesus I love that thing) and an iPhone. I'm still debating with myself whether to buy an iMac so that I have a desktop machine as well as a laptop. (Although my MBP has a 20" Cinema display as a monitor)
In my 20 years of owning computers this is *hands-down* the best rig I've owned. Cheers Aj Oh and thank you for buying Apple products we own stock.

I need and itutor to help me learn how to use the istupid ipod I got for iChristmas!! I am so technically inept, and just kind of old school using my little MP3 player that held 20 songs. Now I can't figure out how to do anything with this ipod!
*sigh* sometimes I hate technology...I just can't seem to keep up!

I <3 my iPod. And my previous iPod. And the previous Nano.
iTunes is ok. There are actually other music organizers I like better and websites which have better download quality. I use iTunes because it is the default. When I was researching laptops, I SO wanted to get a Mac, but even with gifted money from family, I just could not afford it. Someday though... I would be enticed to buy an iPhone if was on Verizon. AT&T is not my friend. The iPad...I'm not sold yet. AJ & Jamie have an awesome music set up at their house with the TV/iPhone/remote/speaker/Mac/anotherappletechnologythingy... frankly I don't know how it is all set-up. But it is very cool

Write me privately, I will give you my personal email address and we can do a web chat session using my employer's system where I can show you how to manage your music using iTunes. It'll have to be a weekend though as I work full-time and go to school 3/4 time. Cheers Aj

Ok Aj! Talk to me about Apple Tv! I have been eyeballing it for a while and almost got it for myself for Christmas but I hadnt done the research and didnt know exactly what it can do. Can you play iTunes through your tv with it? How about photos on your laptop? Can you see those on the big screen?

1) One machine can sync with it so that it mirrors your iTunes library (for me, because my iTunes library is so huge, I only mirror part of it (videos and TV shows). Anything I buy from the iTunes store on the Apple TV (uses your existing wireless network) will automagically sync back to my MBP. You can also sync music and photos. It's the *same* (in iTunes) as you would use for your iPod so you can select what you want to sync and what you don't. 2) Anything you don't want to sync or don't have space for, the Apple TV will play from the machine you use to sync provided iTunes is currently running on that machine. 3) Any OTHER machine can share its music library on the network and you can play anything on any machine with a shared iTunes library. 4) Anything that *won't* sync to the Apple TV (like Audible files) you can *stream* to the Apple TV and use it as a remote speaker. 5) Any iPod or iPhone that joins the wireless network can be set up as a remote control. When we had our wedding at the house, I posted the wireless password on the front door so any guest who came in could use their iPhone or iPod to request songs in the library. 6) You can stream YouTube. 7) You can stream Internet Radio 8) You can rent movies at about what you would pay for a rental at your video store (sometimes less than video store rentals). 9) It's HD so you can view your movies in high def. 10) If you have a MobileMe (used to be .Mac) account you can view your photo gallery as a slideshow or stream movies that are posted there. Now the cons: A) You can't stream Netflix. B) You can't sync Audible audiobooks you buy direct from Audible but you *can* sync Audible audiobooks that you buy from the iTunes store. C) There were some early stability issues but the latest firmware upgrade (free) fixed those. Honestly I think it's well worth the price. One other nice thing about it is that, for me, it acts as a *second* back-up of my media files. So on my home network there are three copies of all of the movies I've bought from the iTunes store. One on my laptop, one in the backup for the laptop, and one on the Apple TV. Cheers Aj

I <3 heart <3 my iPhone. It's one of the first 3Gs models. Has loads of memory and currently hosts the majority of the music I have stored on my PC. I can spend hours with little earbuds in my ears listening to my favorite music.
I've got some fun apps on it and I enjoy that. But the very best thing? The 3G capability and google maps. I no longer get lost when I visit friends out of town!!! *laughs* Absolutely worth it. |

Sylus choices for Ipad
So, tell me geeks - techies - apple lovers
_____ISO of a new stylus ... for the work I do - i have both systems (mac and pc) - but let's face it - you can't beat the mac (graphically) - not really...im debating between the Adonit stylus or the new Bambo sylus - while i love my ipad - the samsung note - has the (writing and pen features) a tad better than the apple market thus far (unless I am missing something) which is why I write and ask ... i take extensive hand written notes - so, i'm looking for a (thin) pen like feature ... the Adonit seems to be what I may be looking for - but if anyone has personal experience with one or the other and can shed some light - please do... and thanks.

Anyone else super annoyed that Gmail stopped pushing it's email to any devices not Google!? What the hey? I have had the same email for like 8 years. Now, I have to change it because my business is slowing it roll. I have to wait 15-20min to get an email. That equates death in my job!
The complexity is changing ones email address in my field is daunting! It's gonna take months to fully transition. I have to order new business cards and marketing stuff. Ugh! Oh well.... Onward. Lol.

i a hoping someone can help me out here.
i have a 15 inch '09 MacBook Pro that i am so in love with  It's been amazing, so far. The battery was causing problems on my trackpad, because it needs to be replaced. So i did the unthinkable and took the back cover off and removed the battery, sure enough that was the problem (thank you Youtube!) Now i need a new battery- i am just pricing them up and want to install myself. Anyone know where to get one? i am really leary off brands especially the ones from china that come in a brown plain wrapper.... |
