If you are capable of using Handbrake or the like to get your movies off your DVDs this is fairly simple. On my iMac I stream to my Apple TV in a few ways. If the program I am using to view has Airplay it just streams to the Apple TV. If the program does not (or if you view something from the...

When you click on the model off to the right there its a summary screen that will show the price and a BUY button. I found that it took ten minutes from choosing the model until that BUY button appeared. Then I was afraid to choose a Smartcover because the next (accessories) page loaded very...

Do you think iPad 2 smart covers will fit it? When I pre-ordered my iPad 3 this afternoon the accessory page did not load at all properly and I was afraid to risk an error and have to wait for hours again so I went ahead and submitted the order without the smart cover. I do have an iPad 2 smart...

I was! I remember how cool it was to see it ship from China on the routing info.

Oooops, sorry I did not see this thread and posted in General. Anyway after a few hours of clicking and waiting and clicking and waiting I got my iPad 3 pre-ordered! It is a iPad with WiFi + 4G LTE (Verizon) 64 GB in white! I can hardly wait for it to arrive. I am really looking forward to...

You can't do that with Mail. That's the main reason I switched to AltaMail and replaced Mail in my dock with it. AltaMail allows you to select all messages in each mailbox or in your overall in box for deletion at one time. It also allows you to print wirelessly! A good app. -- Neil...

Um, is your iPad connected when you try this? If it isn't connected the option, I think, does gray out.

There is also a hardware device -- a usb-stick called Turbo.264.HD from Elgato. It is just about the fastest conversion method there is. On my older Intel iMac Handbrake will take about three hours to convert a movie from avi to mp4. Turbo will do it in an hour or so. One caveat is that...

1am and no joy yet.

The usual size of a feature-length movie as an .avi file is from 800 M to around a Gig. That's a normal less-than-dvd resolution. DVD resolution would be about 1.5 to 2 Gigs. Then I have also seen Blu-Ray rips in .avi format around 4 Gigs.

Mmmmmmmmmm..... This video cam would be some sort of separate add-on, right? I can't see a future iPad with one built-in as the size of the iPad is far beyond comfortable for holding as a camera!

My main problem with Apple is their pricing. The iPad is the first thing that they have released which seems to be competitively and aggressively priced. Don't get me wrong: Apple's stuff is WORTH the money. But I have always thought that if Apple had cut their prices across the board by 20% or...

Sure there are all sorts of places to find free eBooks. The Project Gutenberg at Main Page - Gutenberg is a good place to begin. They have 30,000-plus free ebooks in all interests and many in various formats including ePub. Then you could try Feedbooks at Feedbooks | Food for the mind and they...

True! I was trying to read an ebook on my iPhone last night in bed and it drove me crazy switching between landscape and portrait!!

Thanks, missed that on the specs I guess! Maybe it was subconscious on my part because I really do hate the accelerometer most times. (Good in Layrinth, awful in most other games, IMHO).
