[MacBook] Re: Apple Music

 

Again, I know very little about this (although I do know what AR speakers are!), but I wonder why you have to mess with wiring to change speakers.   If the amp doesn't have a switch to select speakers, surely there is a switch box that could be used.

[MacBook] Re: Apple Music

 

We ripped our CDs to the desktop iMac (we only have about 120). We listen wirelessly via our Apple TV and can also control the selection with our first generation iPod Touch.

We have two very large vintage speakers (AR3) and a 15-year-old analog receiver/amplifier. We can switch the sound to the big speakers (rather than the TV speakers) but the process involves physically moving wires.

We are very happy with the Apple TV solution but we are planning on getting a modern AV receiver to solve the speaker selection problem and also to run a future sound bar or home theater type set of speakers for the TV.

I recommend, as Tolllle suggested, ripping your CDs. ITunes makes it pretty easy.

I would like to ask Tolllle what he/she means by an "extra Digital/Analog Box" and if he/she has any specific suggestions.

Re: [MacBook] Digest Number 3600

 

Thanks for the comments. I'll take a look at Airplay as I have a number of
older Macs that might be tasked as music servers.

A bit off topic, but not completely. I'm considering building an
Apple-based
system to serve music to my home stereo. There are lots of suggestions, but
few user experiences. Any recommendations? I'm open to buying the components
needed to make this happen, but have a limitation in that my Internet
service is ATT&T U-Verse.

Thanks for any comments or recommendations,

My 'user experience' is the music stored local on an Airport Disk and a
selection of it in my iPhone and iPad. I use an Airport Express and a
iPhone/ iPod Dock both attached to my home stereo (Braun Atelier A1).

I think it's a comfortable (and inexpensive) start to enjoy my music
library.
The two ways to get the music to the amplifier both have their pros:
1. Put an iPhone/ iPod into the dock and listen to the music continously and
charge your device.
2. Use AirPlay from any Mac Computer or iOS device to quickly skip to
another song or album. Without cables! From anywhere in your house.

If you are going for better "high fidelity" sound it makes sense to rip your
CDs in Apple Losless, throw away the Dock and use the optical output of the
Airport Express to serve your amplifier.

If you have an analog amplifier (like me) an extra Digital/ Analog Box will
make a difference compared to the bad one built into the Airport Express.

Streaming music from the internet gave me too many bad encoded/ compressed
music, so I wouldn't go this way.

[MacBook] Re: Apple Music

 

I'm interested in this topic, but know very little.  Presently, I'm simply plugging in a high quality speaker system to my iMac and using iTunes to play music.  Other than the issue of installing speakers in other rooms and controlling them, I don't understand the need for other approaches.  Of course, I don't even know what AirPlay is, so what do I know?

Re: [MacBook] Macbook Pro (2008) Unibody HD upgradeable?

 

Okay thanks I get full of the bottom cover once, but had a friend help me. The screws are really small, so it's a maybe as for doing it myself.

That's nothing compared to the time I swapped out a bad drive for a friend's iBook, which spanned 14 pages of guide.

I'd prefer to do it myself, which would require an external SATA enclosure for the current drive. SATA-USB2 cases are very inexpensive. On the other hand, I have experience doing this. If you aren't comfortable with the process, skip it. (This one looks perfect for beginners, however. No cables involved.) Note that you'll need a Torx T6 screwdriver.. I don't even have one of those. I guess T8 and T9 are old school now.

Would a vendor do the transfer for you? You'd need to ask the vendor.

Problem is I'm down to 12gb on this 160gb drive. I'm going to see what I can delete besides media in iTunes, but I think that's the biggest reason for my drive being full so I'm not hopeful. Thanks in advance.

Re: [MacBook] Macbook Pro (2008) Unibody HD upgradeable?

 

According to iFixit.com, this is an "easy" upgrade. The guide is only 3 pages.

http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Unibody-Late-2008-and-Early-2009-Hard-Drive-Replacement/841/1

That's nothing compared to the time I swapped out a bad drive for a friend's iBook, which spanned 14 pages of guide.

I'd prefer to do it myself, which would require an external SATA enclosure for the current drive. SATA-USB2 cases are very inexpensive. On the other hand, I have experience doing this. If you aren't comfortable with the process, skip it. (This one looks perfect for beginners, however. No cables involved.) Note that you'll need a Torx T6 screwdriver.. I don't even have one of those. I guess T8 and T9 are old school now.

Would a vendor do the transfer for you? You'd need to ask the vendor.

Problem is I'm down to 12gb on this 160gb drive. I'm going to see what I can delete besides media in iTunes, but I think that's the biggest reason for my drive being full so I'm not hopeful. Thanks in advance.

Ron,

Take a look here

I reset the SMC on mine and that solved the problem.

[MacBook] Re: 11" MBA Fan - general

 

Does the Air even have a fan? Since it has a solid state drive, does it need one?

[MacBook] 11" MBA Fan - general

 

Just got an 11" MBA, 128G/4G version. No issues with fan, but I looked in the on-line manual and I see no tab for 'fan'. Any general info anyone can pass along, much appreciated. Purchased this down here in Chile, thus the on-line manual in English. Mine of course came with the Spanish version, can read and understand but obviously wanted the thing in English.

My vote is for a wired trackball. Mice are a pain, and wireless ones, moreso. I even bo't a wired keyboard for my iMac, hated the wireless one that came with it.

But I'm an old guy. YMMV, so, FWIW,

Re: [MacBook] bluetooth laser mice

 

I had a V70 up until about a year ago. It is a good basic mouse. Bluetooth mice have some quirks, the most noticeable being the slight delay in "waking up" after a period of idleness. Nothing I couldn't live with though. The V70 died after about two years of use. I purchased it as a refurbished unit, so this one might have had a history. I don't think it's a bad mouse though.

The mouse I am using now is a M705 Logitech. It is a wireless, but not Bluetooth. It has a USB dongle that it pairs with. This uses a precious USB port, but I have a powered 4-way hub installed. This dongle is also capable of pairing with other devices (printer, keyboard) so only one dongle is needed for several devices. I have yet to try out this feature because I have the Apple Bluetooth keyboard and a wired USB printer.

Having had both, I think I would go with a USB wireless mouse. There is more options available, and you get more bang for the buck.

Hello all, any recommendations/suggestions on any of the many mice available. I just tried a GearHead that wouldn't connect and I'm thinking of having a go with a Logitech V70. Please share any good/bad experiences with this.

Thanks George

Re: [MacBook] Re: iPad2 Question

 

Actually I found the answer. My internet provider doesn&#39;t allow tethering unless my plan includes 1gig data. Right now I only have 500megs data in my plan. That&#39;s bs as far as I&#39;m concerned, but I don&#39;t really need a data plan for my iPad, since I turn off the roaming feature on my iPhone anyway when I travel. There are enough wifi hotspots everywhere so I&#39;ll be all right.

Thanks for the responses guys.
