You cannot buy a lightning adapter here in Tokyo until mid-October. It's a pain but the small lightning plug itself is nice.

You might try some troubleshooting of either the OS X install or hardware if you find Safari 6.0 takes 2 minutes to load an AppleInsider page because I am not seeing this behaviour and it has not been commonly reported.

Nobody said they were stupid. And it is why I said quality suffers for a few weeks. Once they get familiar with the job, quality rises again.

This is why I always wait and buy Apple refurbs—very few of these urban poor people desperate for work have any real experience building hi-tech products, so quality always suffers in the first few weeks after they join the production line. I don'…

The podcast (on Itunes) below details a visit to Foxconn back in 2010, so Apple has probably made significant advances since then, but nevertheless don't tell me Tim Cook did not know what was going on back then. Apple is simply managing the bad pu…

Some people (me included) are having significant problems with dropping wifi connections. There are quite a few threads at Apple Support Communities on this and no-one has found a solution yet. Here is one thread: https://discussions.apple.com…

But why no BtS campaign in Japan AS Shibuya and AS Ginza? I have to buy a MacBook Air for HS next week as soon as they are released (school just made MacBook obligatory for next HS term) but there is no promo. A real PITA.

I'm told (don't run Windows myself) that the logo color blocks are out of sequence too. Ironic.

Full disclosure?I've been a 25-year Apple fan. Basically, they SCREENED OFF Apple store windows and forced a lot of staff to work long hours overnight to update the POS systems! Seems like secrecy paranoia gone completely over the top to me. Weir…

Please boot into DOS, run ATIflash and dump the 5870 ROM and send it to netkas.org Quote: Originally Posted by hmm I priced out one of the dell precision models vs. a mac pro when these were announced. It varies on what processor goes into it.…

What stuns me is the AMAZING stupidity of the person who found the G4 phone. Didn't they realize the largesse Apple would have lavished on someone with the morals and cojones to hand it in? This company gives away spondoolix of freebies to people j…

Hey Steve, Give 'em an hour hands-on a couple of days before the keynote, take the $100,000 in cash and publicly donate it to a good cause like the Haiti Earthquake appeal?the publicity buzz would be worth it and you'd be doing some good by takin…

I have a website that streams QT and WMV training videos to members. The QT streams have no problems with the latest versions of Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and Opera in 10.5.8 but Safari resolutely refuses to play them in 10.6.2, displaying …

Why no Black Friday Apple sales worldwide? It's not as if the rest of us remain unaffected by worldwide recessions! The Tokyo Nikkei dropped more than the Dow on that day but Apple Japan has no BF sale.

My second MM just died with same problem as first?all buttons insist they are set to Expose. Apple replaced it the first time but that was 14 months ago. It's sitting here looking at me begging to be replaced but now I have to wait to see the next…

I hope they are pulling overtime tonight, tomorrow and all weekend if necessary because so far we have: 1. Apple 4870 cards for 2008 Mac Pros shipped prematurely without drivers so they are useless. 2. X11 2.3.3 shipped but requiring 10.5.7 to i…

"up to 2 more weeks ..." could be a day, or 14 days, which doesn't mean much at all. netkas.org is showing an ATi 4870 on a 10.5.7 install but comments are closed until 10.5.7 drops.

Today's Nividia update does not install on my iMac with 7300GT. Get an alert saying not required on this Mac. Quote: Originally Posted by Elijahg This update seems to have improved the efficiency of the drivers. In World of Warcraft I was gett…

That's depressing! Looks like I am up for an OS X install to get this .Mac syncing back to normal. Quote: Originally Posted by Frank777 Both my 10.4.11 Macs have been syncing perfectly with .Mac throughout the whole MobileMe mess.

Thanks for the tip, tried that a week or so ago and it does not fix the problem. It looks like I am facing a OSX reinstall unless the new Macbooks appear soon (see post above for why I cannot go to 10.5.4). I have also tried all the AF tips about …
