I have a Time Machine back up from a White MacBook that I sold. I started fresh when I purchased my Unibody MacBook Pro. My question is... is there anyway I can grab some of those files from the old Time Machine backup and put on my new MacBook Pro? Any advice would help. Thanks!

I've got one.
You choose from within the iTunes prefs what iPhoto albums to sync to the iPod.
You get the option to copy the full size image as well but the ipod needs to have disk mode enabled to do this (so you loose the auto mount / unmount).

Maybe it is a chip that takes a whole bunch of power, so they are making up for it by using 2 batteries. A 1.2 GHz tiBook would definitely not have too long of a battery life, unless it had 2 batteries. Good eye.

If I remember correctly, I've seen this kind of thing happen in other devices. Basically a little switch in the headphone jack that tells the computer that headphones are plugged in is stuck. Try wiggling something in the headphone jack, or inserting in and out a headphone plug.

Woke up. My radio was set to a talk show (was funny, now isn't) but it was just some lady saying "...and now we return to the channel 8 news broadcast." [Channel 8 and this radio station share a building] Which I thought was really odd, and I just heard a bunch of seemingly unrelated people saying the word "god" a lot.
Got ready for school, went downstairs. Turned on the T.V. which is something that I never do and still do not do. That day was different. As the T.V. came on the first thing I saw was the second plane hit. Mom told me (and rest of family) to keep getting ready for school, but she was sad. At school we had an assembly. In class the teachers tried to teach but not much really could be done. My 4th period teacher got the CNN.com live feed to work so the class just watched that. (There are projectors in the classrooms)
I can remember nearly everything in extreme detail. Odd how that happens with major events. Also interesting to see where other Mac users were at the time...

I don't think this is the way to get music recommended. You really want to trawl through my collection of 14,000 songs? On top of that, other user's libraries as well?!
Either you have too much free time, or you'll realize how pointless this is.
I will just mention artists who I'd recommend - John Mayer, Newton Faulkner, Damien Rice (if you like acoustic), Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert (instrumental rock), Deadmau5, The Prodigy (electro/dance), Pete Rock, CL Smooth, LL Cool J, Jedi Mind Tricks (Hip-hop/Rap), and some Ministry of Sound Chilled albums if you wanna relax.

I haven't been in a few years, but in the past there were deals to be found on the last day of the expo. A lot of vendors didn't want to pack up stuff to bring home and would offer special pricing to those who came around to talk to them at the end of the show.

Another HDD space junkie! :D I will buy 1 or 2 TB drives for the Mac Pro. However, what if I buy 1 TB drives and they puke before I fill them up?
Seriously, if you can't find a use for 1TB of space in 3 or 4 years, then you probably shouldn't be buying a MacPro.
Most photography apps don't need lots of cores (they just don't use them). The only appeal of a MacPro to a photographer is the expandability - lots of drives, interchangeable graphics cards. If you don't need the expandability, iMacs are much much better value machines.
If you're seriously worried about saving $30 by buying a slower 500GB drive instead of a faster 1TB drive, you're definitely wasting cash spending $3000 on a MacPro.
I am not being a smart @@S, just asking a legitimate question, as that scenario is my only concern. Also, thanks for clarifying that RAID is not for backup. my good friend uses RAID to backup, but he never writes to his drives, only reads. They are for storing tons of movies and games.
Is that right? How did the data get on to the RAID in the first place?
If your friend only has one copy of his files (on the RAID) then he doesn't have a backup. Backup = an alternate copy.
Not writing to that RAID doesn't make it magically safer... Your friend should get a backup if he's smart and he values his data.
Off-site storage is a big deal with photographers and I understand the benefits, but I never would have added 1+1. LOL
Not so funny when a thief breaks into your house and steals your Mac and the backup drive sat on the table next to it. Proper backups aren't just for professionals - they're for anyone who actually cares about keeping their data.
For someone with a $3000 Mac, a couple of hundred $ to buy enough disks to keep offsite copies is nothing.
I am still thinking about my backup plan, but I have plenty of options thanks to the photographer community! As I stated in my last reply, I will clear my mind this weekend and in all likelihood, order a new Mac Pro 8 core soon.
Sounds like you should be looking at an iMac.

Sorry about late reply, crazy hours at work.
It shows that your only 22! language acrobatic funny rappers have more lyrics than the original hard core rappers?? what?
[snip]
Damn Need I go on to school you?!!! :D ;) :cool:
well i was more thinking about hip hop/rap in my own language ;) and in german it's sounds like hypocrisy singing about ghetto and the whole gangsta thing .. most are simply copying US ones
(i didn't knew a single rapper you mentioned, not interested that much, after all i'm more the rock'n'roll guy ;) so you would need a lot of cars to drag me into hiphop-school)
about age: try finding lots of (male) hiphop fans older than 20 over here... they are the exception and not the rule.. for me hiphop is still teenager music stuff simply because of the people who like it over here .. if you don't grew up with it you won't like it later

Hello all,
I have an iPad 16GB. I tried to jailbreak with PwnageTool, and everything went smooth with restoring with custom firmware in iTunes, so it seems!
After the restore is complete, the iPad stays in Recovery Mode, and all I get is a black screen (as if the iPad was off), but when I plug it into my Macbook or PC, it shows up as in Recovery Mode in iTunes every time!
I have spent hours trying to get it to work. I've tried 4.2.1, 4.2.1 custom jailbreak, 4.3.1, then back to 4.2.1. Still nothing! I am stumped at this point. I have tried holding the power button, holding the power button as well as the home button, and the iPad will not do anything unless it is plugged into a computer.
I have tried TinyUmbrella's "Fix Recovery," which brings it to a white screen, then says unable to find gbdevlist etc. etc.
I have tried a soft reset, nothing works...

Hello!
I am trying to go through an XML file and take out certain parts of it.
As seen below, the Line is a child of LineStatus. I would like to remove, say, the LineStatus block that Line ID="2" is in from the XML document. I know the format of the XML is a bit strange, but surely there is a way of doing this?
The structure of it is like this:
a few coloring pages of

QuickTime now 64-bit!!!
Even more of a reason to get the new MBP:D
Hmm, I wonder what the point of 64bit quicktime is. The notes did say that 64 bit mode has more registers available... that doesn't necessarily mean speed improvement if quicktime is moving a lot of data around (which it is).
But I guess everything is slowly going to move towards 64 bit.

I'll be there eventually. I'll let you know what the line is like if I beat you there. I planning on 3:30 or so.
Let me know if you get there earlier.
Just got a report from someone I know that drove past there -- 4 people in line at the moment. Or at least that was 15 mins ago.
Going to grab a bite to eat and leave here shortly.

The media center market is a dismal failure. And that's because a computer is too expensive for the living room. A few people will use things like minis, but it's impossible to make it cheap enough to be a mainstream solution.
This is true. People do not want to use their computer as a TV, it is impractical. but having access to your computer's media on your TV is a completely separate notion, and a good one at that.
i think theyve nailed this one.

If someone had a great idea about how Finder should look and work, it might be improved. However, since the plumbing is behind the scenes and that's been re-done a lot, it wouldn't help to simply re-route it again.
Well, it's still the most annoying, continuous issue with OSX. Steve keeps saying it has finally been improved, but it still sucks. :p
Remember when they released the Finder with the side panel on the left side? Man, where were we without that? I can't even remember how bad Finder was in 10.2.x :o

So just partition in Windows, format one partition in NTFS, leave the other one as unallocated space and from OSX format this unallocated free space in HFS.
You can start with OS X or Windows, either one. Just remember, the first partition will be faster, as it's the outer tracks on the drives. So I'd use that where performance is more critical (there's a performance hit using the inner tracks, so be aware of this as well).
What is the most accurate temp reading software out for the Mac anywhere? Like RealTemp on the PC gives very accurate reads.
iStat was recommended to me on these forums, though I don't have much confidence in it.
I stopped using a Mac back in but iStat was good back then. Not certain if this is the case, but Apple still uses thermal sensors, and would presume that it's still accurate (under the impression it reads these rather than the CPU diodes).
As lazy as I am think I am going to remount. However the way the temperature rises does not feel like it's the CPU making poor contact.
It's like for 3 minutes during prime95 test the CPU temp difference will be in 5-6 degree range, then very slowly the CPU A starts climbing up.
Might be worth it.

Not being able to control that thing w/ one hand would be really sketchy, and letting go the ubiquitous scroll wheel, which is a proven interface, would be really unfortunate. I'm willing to say that this may be Apple covering some of its bases from other manufacturers...while Apple continues w/ something resembling the virtual scroll wheel mockups we've seen.

gentle reminder of how many patents we have seen come and go without anything coming of it.
Indeed. Often patents are filed defensively to prevent others from taking a good idea, even if the patent holder opts not to develop a product.
I hope we get what we all think we're getting, but we've been mislead before....

In the file menu, I now have an option (greyed out) for Transfer purchases from iPod...not sure what that means given you can't currently buy stuff direct from your iPod...and pretty sure it wasn't there in Itunes 6...sounds intriguing though!
Also - there a custom option for encoding rates from CD that takes you up to 320 kbps for AAC - can't remember that either in the previous version...
This transfers music that you purchase on one computer to another computer. In order for it to work, you must have an iPod which has sync'd with a computer with bought songs, and attach it to a second computer which is authorized to play those songs.
My question is this: the keynote treated this like a true 'sync', but it sure doesn't look that way. Does it do more than a 1-way copy? And, does it only (as the menu item suggests) work on iTMS purchased tracks, not ripped CDs?
This feature really sounded nice to me, letting me get rid of the nice but sometime buggy Senuti. But, maybe not.
