Hi all,
I'm curious to know if you can create a wireless Hotspot using an iPad's 3G connection, to connect a laptop/other wifi device to over wifi?
Cheers.
Here in the States we don't have such an option. Do you have the option? You can always use something like MyWi to enable this feature, again here in the states our carrier AT&T frowns upon doing this, and has sent out letters to some users... At this point one can't be sure if it is do to excessive usage, or they now have a means of detection....

I'm working on adding some audio samples to some online language lessons. How I want it to function is pretty straightforward: At the end of each line of foreign text the'll be a little "play" button of some sort, and clicking on it plays the audio file in question.
I know there are a dozen different ways to do this, but what I'm wondering is, what y'all think is the *best* way. My first draft is using the method laid out on this page (http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/02/23/mp3_embed.html), basically an Object tag wrapped around an embed tag with the size set just big enough to allow the QuickTime (or WMP) "play" button, 16x17 pixels in the former.
That looks fine, plays fine with QT, but has two issues:
One (major), if QT isn't installed IE resorts to WMP, but since later versions apparently respect the dimensions of the EMBED tag, the controller is too small to see the play button (curse WMP's gigantic interface!).
Two (minor), this method preloads everything with the page. This is nice from an "insta-play" standpoint, but may bog down modem users and will also hammer on the server pretty hard if the site gets popular for some bizarre reason (~20K clips X ~15 clips per page = 300K/page, which'll add up quick with multiple pages per lesson).
So is this the best I'm going to do? Is there a trickier, more compatible way to do it? Should I just require QuickTime and be done with it (that'd also let me improve quality a bit by going with AAC instead of MP3, which is tempting)? Should I go with a bunch of QT streaming files, or is that silly for 3-second sound clips?
Thoughts?

Sorry but why the heck post this now ???
The screen problem arises after the iMac has been used for 6-12 months NOT when they are brand new !!!

I don't think that is completely true! I heard of a few getting their 2010 iMac and noticing the yellow tinge straight out of the box.
"Sorry but why the heck post this now ???" Because I am about to order one and I just wanted to check before I did.
Thanks for the reply!

Hi everyone
I wanted to install windows on my mac to be able to play windows based games, but it turned out to be the biggest mistake iwe made in a while. At first the setup installed as supposed, but then it rebooted and took me to the setup again. I tried to install again, it installed, rebooted and took me back to the blue XP setup screen again. Same thing happens when i try to quit the setup, repair the installation and everything else. My mac is now stuck, i cant even get the Windows installer CD out. At this point i just want to exit the windows installer and get my OS back, i dont want to continue installing, can someone help me please? Im getting rather desperate.

I was reading through some archives on mac security and came across an article detailing a trojan hidden in an mp3 file that surfaced 2004 and could affect mac operating systems.
This got me wondering about the way such threats can be packaged across all platforms and then dragged this question from somewhere out of my paranoid subconscious:
If an mp3 contained any kind of malware (trojan/virus, thinking cross platform here) and it could play music what would happen if it was burned as an audio cd and then ripped back to mp3 file?
Would the malware remain intact and just take up residence in the newly ripped file or would it be destroyed?
What if it were to be burned as an audio cd then ripped back into a different file format, flac, aac etc.
Would the malware survive that?
Converted from mp3 to a different file format, how about that?
In fact, would it be possible to create an audio cd from an infected file without the burning software crashing before it was done?
Any ideas, theories or :eek: experiences?
This isn't a specific mac question, more of a general cross platform just kind of wonderin' if anyone else has thought of it question.
I haven't got an infected mp3 file to try else I'd give it a go on my old windows pc to see what happens.

How much is the drive your looking at and do you have software like Toast for the burner? Also do you have a FW cable?

This is what I have and I don't need Patchburn as it comes with software that sees the iLife apps. just fine.

If you leave your phone on the dash on a sunny day it will get hot.:rolleyes:
ya, the black version absorbs an intense amount of sunlight, just leaving mine on a table outside caused it to overheat, on a windy day.

Thanks for replying. I think you understand what i'm trying to do, except that i'm adding the subview in code rather than the IB.
if I add the button to the main (parent) view then it will be hidden behind the added view, surely?
Also the button is just an example. The real UIView has an indeterminate amount of controls added at runtime. I'm basically mimicking a menu system of a medical monitor.

I'm a Wii and DS guy who is sick of waiting for games, so I'm going to invest in a 360 as well. This may be strange to some of you, but I'm only going to rent games through GameFly, not purchase any. I'm just wondering which configuration you all think would suit me better and which I'd be happier with.
Hard Drive - I like the cheaper price of the Core, but would I need a memory card? The games I see myself renting first would be Gears of War, Lost Planet, Dead or Alive 4, and an NBA game. Is there any advantage to having the hard drive for these games? I'll also subscribe to XBox Live, would I want a hard drive for that?
Controllers - I'm in love with wireless controllers ever since I got my Wii, so that'd be a downside of the Core to me. Do the batteries last a long time? Maybe I could just get the Core, sell the wired controller and buy a pair of wireless ones?
HD - I don't have an HD capable TV, but I might get a 24" Dell LCD soon, which supports it, if that would affect my choice?
I'm just looking for advice because I really have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to the 360. I feel stupid because I realize I'm a Nintendo fanboy because I only know about their stuff. :o
Daniel.

Sounds to me like a dry/cracked solder joint on the deflection yoke connector. Sadly when this happens, it can overheat the plastic plug and cause a "hot join" between the cable connector and the connector soldered to the analog board. The yoke connector is the four pin white connector pictured here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/66071596@N00/347417565/) at the top edge of the board.
On early revisions the pins didn't protrude very far on the solder side and caused a lot of heat dissipation which eventually cracks the solder.
If you know somebody with good soldering skills and have the correct "long reach" torx screw driver (to access two of the four screws under the top handle) then it's worth taking a look.
Try hitting the box at the left side near the top to see if the width of the picture jumps around. If it does, a dry/cracked solder joint is most likely it.
If it doesn't, and it's a thin vertical line (about 1-2mm) then the problem is a little worse. :(

Hi guys! I am wanting to reprint all the pieces of my portflio. At school when i use acrobat pro, I have a setting to put epson premium presentation paper (the kind of paper I use to print work). I also have a setting to print quality over speed, which makes the printing a whole lot slower but it looks best.
Now I am printing at home. I have adobe acrobat x (not pro). At school we had version 9 and it was pro so had those settings. Now that I am using x and it isnt pro, I dont see a setting for quality over speed. I also dont see a setting for certain epson paper.
Could it be a driver issue? Is it because I am not using acrobat pro? Or is it because this is version 10 and I need 9?
Thank you guys for any help you can provide :)

There is nothing too strenuous in that list, why not look for a refurb 2010 27incher.... are you sure you want 27inch?? I find it too big especially when browsing. The 21.5 is a nice resolution
Hi
this is going to be my first Imac and need some advice
i will just be browsing internet, unraring files, using reason and thats it really.
i am wanting to get a 27inch
now i can get student discount in the UK
so do i go for the 2011 models or do i get the 2010 maybe top end at same price as places like Dixos, Pc World etc will start doing deals

It is possible I could max it out but as much as I wanna keep the old thing going, I'm possibly getting handed down a new one so... it's pretty fast only problem is cannot run leopard on it... but do have snow leopard on iMac white plastic intel... used to have all OS... tiger, leopard, snow leopard, now only have leo and sl
Why can't you run leopard (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759) on it? You just can't run snow leopard on it. It can handle 1.25 GB which is (1 GB + 256 MB of RAM) So just go buy a 1 GB RAM chip for it and you will be fine.
