You raise an interesting question.  I wonder about the mini as well.   I think 
the low power desk top is probably dead.  They have the much higher end Mac Pro 
but that’s a very high dollar item.
Apple hasn’t come out with a new Monitor in a while either that I’m 
aware of and they used to sell one that was vastly over priced especially if it 
hasn’t been updated.  The pound 2000 or so for a decent MacBook pro doesn’t 
seem to unreasonable but it still is a pile of cash.  The price of the MacBook 
pro line did seem to jump up quite a bit in this run.  If you get a fully 
loaded 15 inch model with 2TB of storage you’re looking at over $4000 US which 
is a full 1200 more than I spent for a fully loaded 15 inch from the previous 
run.

Hi. I am disappointed that there is no update to the Mac Mini line. I’m using 
the 2014 model and was hoping to upgrade again next year! I think the desktop 
is dead for sure now. There is no way I’m shelling out over £2000 for an up to

Re: Article: Apple on target for October MacBook Release

2016-10-30 Thread Scott Granados
Actually Kawal, the world has never been so much at piece, you really need to 
get away from that government sponsored media you British live under, even if 
your television shows are a lot better than ours.  As a percentage of the 
population, at no point in our history have fewer people been in a state of 
war.  THere’s a very good book called the end of Violence which demonstrates on 
a historical basis that actual remarkable decrease in violence that’s taken 
place over the last several thousand years.  At this point, less than 1% of the 
population lives in a conflict zone which is vastly reduced from even the 
beginning of the 20th century let alone farther back.
Next, Apple working on cars had absolutely 0 to do with their bottom 
line.  Apple has 233 billion in cash in the bank which is more than the 
economic output of Ireland to put it somewhere near your UK for reference.  
Apple is worth more than most countries on the planet so whether they spend a 
billion or 2 on cars makes 0 difference to the bottom line.  Apple brings in 
over a billion per day in revenue on a gross basis and operates somewhere 
around a 38% margin so that’s 380 million in the bank every day.  If anything, 
Apple needs to go on a spending spree and start bringing some new talent in 
house.  Apple for example could buy Tesla, Twitter, and still barely have to 
dip in to the bank account.  And just like it was offensive for my president to 
involve himself in your politics and try to bully his way in to your brexit 
decision, we’d kindly ask that you British stay out of ours, remember what 
happened the last time you tried to force your will on the colonies? :)  (I’m 
kidding of course, your opinions are always welcome)

I would however seriously recommend that book for your consideration.  Our 
media and by our I mean the world or at least the western world media creates 
so many artificial stories that aren’t based on reality at all that if you 
watched anything whether it’s the beeb or CBS or the Clinton News Network or 
what ever you’d think the world is burning in a fireball of war, it’s not, not 
even close.  Massive blocks of people trade with each other who never did 
before, your continent of Europe has reduced it’s wars and aside from a few 
hotspots which are definitely disturbing the vast vast majority of us live in a 
peaceful world.  If you watch TV it may seem like it but I assure you, we’re 
getting along at record rates and I only hope that trend continues to grow so 
we can all be friends on our little blue ball.

Re: Article: Apple on target for October MacBook Release

2016-10-30 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
I'm very sad that Mac Safe is going.  What attracked me to Apple products was 
that the adaptors were unique and that it was exciting to get different 
adaptors.  Sabahattin and I are very unhappy with what Apple are doing.  Apple 
would have kept everything if they had not wasted their money on trying to make 
cars.  They should stick to what they know rathr than trying to have war games 
with Google.  We've got enough wars with Siria and people like Trump and 
Clinton fighting it out.  How sad is the world today.

I agree, I like mag safe.  Maybe they will make a small magsafe to USBC adapter 
so you can still have the best of both worlds and use your old adapters and 
power chargers of which I have many.:)

Amazon had a deal on the 85 watt model and I bought a bunch of them to leave 
around, at work, at home, mother’s house, extra one in the bag, and so forth 
instead of always forgetting one.:)

Yeah the USB C power connection isn’t going to work for me well.

USB C kind of concerning  I can see a notebook or more getting pulled off a

The article notes the source has a hit and miss record with

It would but that wont help folks like me who have older devices and use 
devices that don't have anything other than 3.5mm  jacks or USB and I'm not  
hunting for a USB to 3.5mm adaptor,

If you know of one of the adaptors I'm talking of where can I get them?

 Cheers for any info.

RE: Article: Apple on target for October MacBook Release

2016-10-23 Thread Simon Fogarty
USB C,

 That's what they use on the 12 inch mac books, why not on the others,

 Question I have is,

 Apple have removed the 3.5mm headphone jack on the iPhone 7 line 
 How do I plug my lightening connector headphones in to my mac book air or 
other mac computer?

Yeah ok they have an adaptor to plug my older headphones in to my iPhone 7+ 
using the lightening to female 3.5mm adatptor,
 What about going the other way?


Has anyone heard of such an adaptor being produced or is this option being 
ignored?

Hi!
If they remove the magsafe adaptor what will then be around instead?
Thats one thing i don’t get.
The removal of the function keys may not be so good but that depends on how the 
accessibility team resolves this.

Anders, I would assume they charge using the USBC port.  THere’s a sub section 
of that spec that includes power.

Re: Article: Apple on target for October MacBook Release

2016-10-22 Thread christopher hallsworth
Well, USB-C will replace the magsafe power adaptor as USB-C is powerful enough 
to charge a portable computer like a mac. Right now, the 12 inch Macbook can 
only charge via USB-C, so it is expected that future Macbook models will charge 
the same way.

Hi!

Thats one thing i don’t get.
The removal of the function keys may not be so good but that depends on how the

RE: Article: Apple on target for October MacBook Release

2016-10-22 Thread Simon Fogarty
Yeah I could have done with my lighteing to 3.5 mm jack adaptor this morning, 
almost tried to plug a line in cable into my ipHone 7+, yeah that wasn’t going 
to work…

However I still want to know how I plug my lightening connector headphones in 
to my mac book air?

Or other audio device I need to plug headphones into

Has anyone heard of any company developing a lightening to 3.5 mm headphone 
jack adapter the inverse of what we currently have?

1. How will OLD light function strip work with VoiceOver?
2. I look forward to USB-C, as I've got many of these cables, including 65-watt

3. Hope they'll have 32GB or 64GB ram options for MacBook. this MBP with 16B 
RAM is a huge boost over MBA 8GB RAM--I wish I made the jump years ago.
4. lightning to 3.5mm adapter is ~1" in between either end, but I've only used 
it a couple of times the first day to see how it worked, but I've never used it 
since then.
5. I've mostly used the lightning EarPods or Bluetooth headset, but look

6. I love the iPhone 7 with stereo speakers and VoiceOver!

I would be interested, googling hasn’t yielded much on the overclocking subject.

I know about the airplane thing.  I flew commercial for the first time a few 
months back and I thought the flight attendant was nuts wanting us to turn off 
our devices on landing and takeoff.  Nobody pays attention to that on private 
flights and some international flights.  I’ll never do that again just to stay 
away from the crying babies let alone the better electronics policy and faster 
Internet..  Hell the pilot we worked with used to do all his flight planning on 
an iPad and never shut the internet off on me just because we were landing.:)

Hi Kevin,

I wonder about the light bar as well.  I expect Apple will have a work around 
for voice over for us, we’ll have to see I am curious how they will pull that 
off.

Imagine no power port, I hope for the extra ram as well.  More space from fewer 
ports hopefully will be put to good use.

1. How will OLD light function strip work with VoiceOver?
2. I look forward to USB-C, as I've got many of these cables, including
65-watt adapter for various surfaces already.
3. Hope they'll have 32GB or 64GB ram options for MacBook. this MBP with
16B RAM is a huge boost over MBA 8GB RAM--I wish I made the jump years ago.
4. lightning to 3.5mm adapter is ~1" in between either end, but I've only
used it a couple of times the first day to see how it worked, but I've
never used it since then.
5. I've mostly used the lightning EarPods or Bluetooth headset, but look
forward to the AirPods.
6. I love the iPhone 7 with stereo speakers and VoiceOver!

Scot, i will have to ask the guys what they did. The way it works for
me right now is that i can turn it on and off, at certain situations,
FX if I'm landing the plane ad the airport where there is like 30
other planes lined up on the runway.
Unless if you have a huge stach of money i don't think you will wanna
do this, in case the mac burns off.
But will ask, of course .

I’m excited to see what they are like as well.  I bet they will be released 
although I don’t think they would have an event about just the pods Since the 
pods were already covered in the September iPhone event.  Sounds reasonable for 
release day though.

I just got my 7+ yesterday,

 10 days from purchase to arrival 

I was told that it would be between 3 to 5 weeks to arrive so great it only 
took 10 days.

 Apple are obviously getting things figured out 

I used the apple sales via the phone

Hi Scott,

 They do still have the apple ear pods to release this month, late October as 
it says on the website, possibly the event next week is the release of the pods?

 Personally I can't wait to see what they're like, 
 They do soud chunky but that's not the same as seeing what they really are 
like.

 I just hope they aren't sounding like beets headphones

Hi. 6 weeks since the launch of the 7+ and it still isn’t available in my local

Hi. I hope the Mac Mini gets a refresh as i’m hoping they include a SSD 
storage. I am happy with using the Mac Mini as it doesn’t cost the earth and is 
a good little machine if you only need to carry out tasks like e-mails and word 
processing. I would never purchase a MacBook because I wouldn’t ever take it 
out with me because of the cost of replacement if it was lost or stolen.

At times I’ll run over 12, it all depends.  Most are virtual routers which I 
attach together using the network adapter feature.  I’m able to build virtual 
networks and test changes before touching real hardware or with out the need 
for a full lab.

2016-10-19 Thread E.T.
   Looks like the non plus would be just fine for me since I am not a 
camera shutter freak. The produce man at my store would argue that one. 
(smiles)


   I recharge at least every other day depending on what I did with the 
phone. Its always a good idea to keep these things topped up.


   I need to get a ride to the store and look at the 7. My 5 is still 
fine but its over 3 years old. That is way longer than the flip phones 
I've had before.

Interesting.  I didn't know about the extra gig of program memory.  I can see 
where that would be handy, but still don't think I'd want such a ginormous

Both the 7 and 7+ now have optical image stabilization as well, not just 
electronic like the 6 and 6s models.  SO that difference is no longer there.  
Mainly more memory, more screen, more battery and an extra camera.

I haven’t tried this, do you have a pointer how to do this?  My understanding 
is Macs couldn’t be over clocked other than the built in Turbo mode which 
automatically bumps up the clock rate, in my case from 2.8 to 4.0 GHZ.  Is 
there an over clocking mechanism like there is with non Mac hardware?

For the most part, I think size is the only difference.  I know that with the

2016-10-19 Thread Scott Granados
I’m sure they will come up with what ever adapters you’ll need.  I’m surprised 
for example by the audio improvement on the iPhone 7 using the adapter with non 
Apple headphones and the included headset is also very good.

how cool would it be if you could plug in a high quality D/A convertor to your 
iPhone for recording maybe like someone said make  it part of a high end 
Microphone package. (I like that idea)

I just wonder myself about the removal of the traditional USB ports.  I still 
have a lot of cables that use that format not the least of which are all of my 
Apple devices.:)

I’m more curious about the light bar and how Voiceover will be addressed.

You’d definitely have heat problems.  My 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.8 GHZ Quad Core, 
1 TB loves to turn the fans on full and warm right up, especially when running 
half a dozen or more virtual machines.  The performance is fantastic and 
everything runs very smoothly but wow! warm!
Warm enough that sometimes I stick to using it on a desk.

Found this article on redmond pie and it seemed totally on topic to discuss.  
Includes expectations about the up coming release of the laptops including the 
end of the MacBook air 11, the 12 Inch MacBook taking the place of the 11 inch 
air, the continuation and upgrade of the MacBook air 13, and changes to the 
MacBook Pro..  The article notes the source has a hit and miss record with 
rumors, it does indicate that it matches other reports from more reliable 
sources so it seems worth reading.  I’d be interested in comments, I’m not sure 
I like all the proposed changes.
The changes include an OLED light bar (I assume in place of function 
keys), no more mag safe adapter, no more USB, and what’s being included is 
USB-C (I do like this) (Thunderbolt 3 (Apple always has to provide a little bit

Hi, as a girl who got the Mac book, the one without respiration i can
say that it is slower, way slower, however it is my main machine right
as we speak for MS flightsim, which it runs relative fine.
I am not sure that changing to Usbc is a good thing, but that is just
me , as a Keytarist, that would make me think twice about getting the
new mac book pro.

2016-10-18 Thread Scott Granados
A new iPhone is a most worth while cause.  I love my 7+.  Go with the plus if 
you do upgrade.

   Interesting developments to be. I know nothing about USB C but I 
usually go with the flow and so expect it probably will be an easy 
enough change to adapt to.


   The touch bar I find interesting too. We need someone to beta test 
hardware! Oh right. NDA. So much for that.


   My mid 2012 MBP still seems healthy whereas my bank account is not 
so a new Mac is not on my radar. A new iPhone has a better chance.

end of the MacBook air 11, the 12 Inch MacBook taking the place of the 11 inch 
air, the continuation and upgrade of the MacBook air 13, and changes to the 
MacBook Pro..  The article notes the source has a hit and miss record with 
rumors, it does indicate that it matches other reports from more reliable 
sources so it seems worth reading.  I’d be interested in comments, I’m not sure 
I like all the proposed changes.
The changes include an OLED light bar (I assume in place of function 
keys), no more mag safe adapter, no more USB, and what’s being included is 
USB-C (I do like this) (Thunderbolt 3 (Apple always has to provide a little bit 
different but proprietary port that’s a little faster, just because) and the 
power button has the fingerprint Censor (I like it).
What do you all think?
