how does the apple student discount work when ordering online? do you need an NUS no.? and I presume you can get one on the air (I know you couldn't on the ipad)
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:32 (thirteen years ago) link
you need a university IP.

weird. here you just click the option that says "i'm a student" and it takes you into the educational store. and when i bought something at an actual apple store with my student discount they didn't even check an ID or ask for any confirmation, they just took me at my word.
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:37 (thirteen years ago) link
uk discount is bigger and involves government tax law, so they're a bit stricter
― caek, Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:38 (thirteen years ago) link
it's pretty easy to get though. i must have bought ten macbooks for friends.
just select 'education store' then 'school or any other education establishment', they never check
― Jefferson Mansplain (DG), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
ahhh, clever
so if I (or a friend) can order from a uni IP that's sufficient? ie no student matric card check on delivery?
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
depends on exchange rather, but an education discounted mac is sometimes cheaper in the uk than the us, and it comes with nearly free applecare.
cozen, no. there's never a check once the order is placed in my experience.
― caek, Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link
"rather" = "rate" (drunk)
uni discount is 15% DG, which is a lot bigger than the 'school etc' discount
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:41 (thirteen years ago) link
cool, thanks. that should be easy enough to sort out.

do you have an apple store nearby? they should be able to replace it on the spot. just back it up before you go.― joe, Sunday, 28 November 2010 21:48 (5 days ago)
I took it to the nearby apple store. They replaced it on the spot. I backed it up before I went. Happy days are here again.

Next question:I've got Windows Calendar on my PC, which doesn't sync with the iphone. Is it possible to download some software that will sync with the phone (i.e. some kind of appple calendar thing, or will their stuff only work on macs)? Preferably something free, obviously.
― Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 4 December 2010 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I use google calendar.
― sofatruck, Saturday, 4 December 2010 17:01 (thirteen years ago) link
having said that, i'm on a mac and I think gcal syncs with the apple calendar, which then syncs with my iphone, so maybe thats not a solution.
― sofatruck, Saturday, 4 December 2010 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link
im sure there some middle ware thingy thatll do the job
― ice cr?m, Saturday, 4 December 2010 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link
You can make Google Calendar sync directly w/iPhone. They have an Exchange server mode, and you'll even get your calendar items pushed to the phone. Pretty smooth.
― mh, Saturday, 4 December 2010 17:14 (thirteen years ago) link
there's something called nuevasync that I used to use to sync google calendar with ical via exchange mode. I can't remember why that was needed but it was. Now the service costs money and I never look at my calendar mobil-y anyway. Thing was I have an iPod touch, no iphone, and the idea was to sync so I could pull out the ipod and see if I was busy on a certain day.

Google didn't used to have Exchange support. They do now.

Guys microsoft outlook syncs with iPhone, no?
― Shakey Sides (sunny successor), Monday, 6 December 2010 21:02 (thirteen years ago) link
It does when there is an exchange server. Not sure if you use Outlook to access something else (but then you would just use your iPhone to access that something else - POP, IMAP server, etc.).
― schwantz, Monday, 6 December 2010 21:30 (thirteen years ago) link
iphones exchange sever support is better than fucking entourage, frankly.

im really loving this new Reeder app for osx
― lube fiasco (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 00:31 (thirteen years ago) link
anything special about it? I use NetNewsWire on my iPod Touch but just use Google Reader when I'm at a computer. Didn't take to NNW's OSX app.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 02:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Really liking Reeder OS X too. Still have a lot of bookmarks I need to get out of NNW.
― Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 11:48 (thirteen years ago) link
what's wrong with nnw?
reeder feels like an ipad app made by a windows user imo.
― caek, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 11:52 (thirteen years ago) link
nnw is great. the pc equivalent is a bit horrid tho (surprise!)
― Jefferson Mansplain (DG), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 12:39 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm liking reeder except for the switches that are obviously meant for swiping and not clicking.

The Reeder iPad app has a screwy opening screen, but the rest is very iPad-ish, not sure what caek means. The swipe left/right to star or mark unread is a little less obvious, but useful.
IMO, Reeder for iPhone > OS X Reeder > iPad Reeder, as far as polish goes.
NNW was great on the desktop but I ditched it years ago when I started using Google Reader full-time, and I haven't really ever gone back even though I've tried newer versions. Reeder is good at viewing articles, but also smooth at doing with those what I need (send link to friend, send to Instapaper, etc.)
― mh, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I only use(d) NNW on iPod because it downloaded the articles, which Google Reader did not. I could download my blogs while in WIFI, then read them later while not online.
