you can still keep your optical drive in an external case. normally what I do is rip all my DVDs to the hard drive, then watch them using DVD Player or VLC. works fine

or better yet, encode them to m4v's using handbrake, then stream them to my iPad using air video. it's a treat

btw if you don't care about your DVD drive just slap this in there

get 2 1TB hard drives you're carrying around 2TB all the time what could be easier it sells itself

shirley summistake (s1ocki), Monday, 22 November 2010 04:25 (thirteen years ago) link

how the heck do I get iOS 4 onto my iPad? it says the OS is up to date at version 3.2.2.

Unfrozen Caveman Board-Lawyer (WmC), Monday, 22 November 2010 15:11 (thirteen years ago) link

there is now iOS 4 for iPad as of yet...unless 4.2 is supposed to be for iPad also?

_| ̄|○| ̄|○| ̄|○ (dayo), Monday, 22 November 2010 15:12 (thirteen years ago) link

you've got to wait until california gets up. ios 4.2 for ipad later today.

joe, Monday, 22 November 2010 15:14 (thirteen years ago) link

can't wait for this - tired of flicking through endless home pages on the ipad

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 22 November 2010 15:27 (thirteen years ago) link

10am PST apparently (ie in two and half hours)

Alba, Monday, 22 November 2010 15:30 (thirteen years ago) link

Find My iPhone will now be free on iPhone 4, iPad and 4th gen iPod touch.

Alba, Monday, 22 November 2010 15:32 (thirteen years ago) link

Find Alba's iPhone.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 November 2010 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link

dang westcoast slackers

Unfrozen Caveman Board-Lawyer (WmC), Monday, 22 November 2010 15:37 (thirteen years ago) link

It's cold out here and we didn't want to get up.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 November 2010 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link

ice cr?m, Monday, 22 November 2010 16:37 (thirteen years ago) link

So as I am leaving to catch a plane in 20 minutes I should not allow my iPhone anywhere near an iTunes amirite

yuright.

schwantz, Monday, 22 November 2010 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link

Apple TV update! Adding airplay to this thing might alleviate (not eliminate) the main problem I have with that futching interface.

Friday: vuvuzela club meeting (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 22 November 2010 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link

What, the old school one or the new one?

stet, Monday, 22 November 2010 18:34 (thirteen years ago) link

it removes checkboxes?

mo loko (cozen), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link

can i say hell yes to these updates:

• Find text on the web page in Safari
• New fonts setting available for Notes

finally done with that notes font!

con suelo, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link

come on multifunctionality, get in my gadget

Unfrozen Caveman Board-Lawyer (WmC), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link

xp to stet: New one. Adds voiceover, too.

Friday: vuvuzela club meeting (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:27 (thirteen years ago) link

My fave - Get Find My iPhone without having to sign up for MobileMe. Could have used it a week ago when my iPhone was stolen...

schwantz, Monday, 22 November 2010 21:15 (thirteen years ago) link

6hrs to download the update, i think I'll wait

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 22 November 2010 21:28 (thirteen years ago) link

damn, are you on dialup? took me a few minutes

Unfrozen Caveman Board-Lawyer (WmC), Monday, 22 November 2010 21:28 (thirteen years ago) link

It's all gone slow but someone pointed me in the direction of these handy direct links:

http://shadez.tumblr.com/post/1649909087/ios421epoch

Must be different servers, because the download estimate is now 2hrs instead of 7.

After download, you put the file in "~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates" folder (or iPhone Software Updates if its for iPhone) and connect your device and it should update.

How do u search for text on a safari page? Btw is it me or does the keypad look a bit different?

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 22 November 2010 21:45 (thirteen years ago) link

My download took 5 minutes for the first 440meg but the last 100Mb or so has been downloading for over an hour.

treefell, Monday, 22 November 2010 21:48 (thirteen years ago) link

How do u search for text on a safari page?

was wondering this myself.

Unfrozen Caveman Board-Lawyer (WmC), Monday, 22 November 2010 22:11 (thirteen years ago) link

Do like a google search, look at the bottom of the suggested searches. Boom.

shaane, Monday, 22 November 2010 22:12 (thirteen years ago) link

that's kinda weak

con suelo, Monday, 22 November 2010 22:19 (thirteen years ago) link

Counterintuitive but w/e. Might have helped to call the box 'search' rather than google

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 22 November 2010 22:23 (thirteen years ago) link

Early days but I thunk this update has fixed iPad Safari's infuriating habit of reloading web pages you've got in the background when you return to them.

Alba, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link

Thunk = think.

Shame it's still a pisser to type on. I actually think it's because - in landscape mode at least - the keys are too big, or too far apart.

Alba, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Great to be able to play Spotify and Fstream in the background at last.

Alba, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:26 (thirteen years ago) link

Ha, WTF? I knew Apple was changing the switch to be a mute switch instead of orientation lock, but it doesn't actually mute anything! It just shows a mute symbol on the screen but all sound continues as usual. Thought it maybe didn't work on third party apps but just tried it on the iPod app and still ... nothing. Bizarre.

Alba, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:34 (thirteen years ago) link

still cross about that.

stet, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:41 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, but does your mute button actually mute?

Alba, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm not actually that bothered about orientation being a software switch, as I always found the physical switch quite fiddly to find with my cl,sy fingers and stupid brain. But I do object to the switch now doing nothing at all.

Alba, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:46 (thirteen years ago) link

can't tell you -- still not upgrading till they cave. Or I do.

stet, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Come on in, the water's mostly fine. Not noticed sluggishness as a result of multitasking yet.

Slightly annoyingly, app switching to my Twitter client of choice, Osfoora, still seems to suffer from the same two-second lag before displaying my timeline that it has when launching it from scratch. Maybe it just needs a 4.2 update.

Alba, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:53 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm sold on the new Twitter client now they've fixed some of the dafter UI stuff. I like the layers a lot.

stet, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, it's pretty good, especially with the notifications it now has. But it's missing a few things. When I view someone's profile, I like that Osfoora tells me whether they are following me or not. And, being ego-crazed, I like having access to "My tweets, retweeted".

Alba, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 01:10 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, odd it doesn't have the followback status -- the iPhone one does. It has yr tweets retweeted too, but doesn't tell you who by!
