I ordered my 27" HDD+SSD on the phone and asked the apple employe about the long delivery time. He told what we are waiting for so long are not the SSDs themself to arrive but some new controllers for them. The benefit of waiting for those will be that the new generation iMac SSDs will be faster than the previous generation. He went on explaining that apple decided to release the new iMacs ahead of the arrival of the new controllers so only a few customers (those ordering SSDs) have to wait longer. I can't garantee that the explaination he offered me is correct. But this is what he told me.
One thing on the bright side though: I asked him about the "Back to school" promotion and those free iPodtouchs that were given away last year because some people on this forum are expecting this promotion to start again this year in late may. Well, he couldn't comment on when this promo is going to start this year. But he told me if the promo starts before my iMac gets delivered i should give him a call and he'll see what he can do. Of course thats not a promise but he really sounded optimistic about it.
Keep in mind this is just what a low level apple salesmen told me. But i put my confidence in it.

Yet another thread started by someone too lazy to do a search!
impatience and laziness.
In all seriousness, its more stupidity. It takes more time and effort to start your own thread and wait for people to answer than it does to simply google.:rolleyes:

I had the same problem with my brand new MacBook Pro(2011). I took it to the Genius Bar along with my Numa Nano. After trying it on a number of different MacBooks, we found that the problem was on all the new MacBooks(2011). The laptops from 2010 saw it fine....
So as I said, Apple and Numa don't agree on how USB MIDI should work. Avoid USB and use the two round MIDI ports or wait and hope Apple fixes this some day soon.

Hi there - I have been trying to get CS5 to draw some dashed lines for me around an arrow. I have been trying with Path shapes and Marquees.
I know how to use brushes to create a dashed line of sorts, for example, when you want to simple have a brush to draw a line across the page.
I also know how to use brushes to with paths, right click and stroke path.
But what I can't get working is to do it with any finesse. For example, if you want a nice dashed line around an arrow, the effect isn't particularly appealing using the above methods. Where the dashed line breaks for the gap, the angle of the break isn't angular to the shape of the arrow. By adjusting the scale didn't approve things.
If I use a small square brush with even spacing, the effect around the arrow isn't particularly appealing, it seems uneven and doesn't produce the long line short gap effect.
Any experts out there? Here are some failures:

Dasshed lines should be more like this:

I'm very exited the new iMacs came out tuesday. I'm wanting to buy the 21,5 inch based model. Unfortunately, I live in Belgium, for those who don't know where that is: it's in the western part of Europe. So I wanted to know when the new iMac possibly can arrive.
I also wanted to know your opinions onto the new iMacs and especially te 21,5 inch based model.
Please let me know.

It all depends on what kind of music you do.
I'm using the VSL Special Edition, LASS strings and Spitfire Percussion. I've got my orchestral basses covered, although it seems like this will be the year of the brass library. Several manufacturers are coming out with next generation brass. I don't do any solo piano, so the Bosendorfer that's included with VSL works great for my needs.
You can pick up LASS Lite now for $400. It won't include the divisi option, but it's a great section string sound with incredible short bows.

It can be pretty tricky, as for orchestral stuff I often use LA scoring strings for strings, East West for brass and woodwinds and symphobia for weirder scoring tools.
As for everything else, there are a load of great Kontakt libraries available, from mellotrons to harpsichords, blues harps to clavs.
Basically I reckon there is no 1 library out there that does it all, so Komplete 7 is a pretty good place to start, you can always add more libraries to it as you go along.
What is your budget? LA scoring strings is over $1000 for instance!

I agree, it's very annoying, and seems to be one of the Finder's long-standing bugs. I use column view exclusively and still get annoyed when new windows open in another view, such as when viewing an app's package contents.
You might want to try opening a new Finder window and setting it how you like, then closing it and opening another. This has sometimes worked for me in the past.
One way I found to not so much get around the problem but get new windows opening how I like is by using scripts. Here's one I amended from an article originally on MacOSXHints.com way back in 2001. It opens two finder windows, one above thew other in column view, and is designed for a 1024 x 768 resolution screen. It's pretty easy to follow so you should be able to tinker with it to get it exactly how you want it (and remember to change the 'set target...' lines to reflect your user account and what you want the Finder to display).
tell application "Finder"
activate
close every window
-- Bottom Window
set this_window to make new Finder window
-- display external firwire hard disk if mounted
if disk "X Files" exists then
set target of this_window to "X Files:Archive"
else
set target of this_window to "HD:Applications"
end if
set bounds of this_window to {86, 364, 818, 762}
set current view of this_window to column view
-- Top Window
set this_window to make new Finder window
set target of this_window to "HD:Users:db"
set bounds of this_window to {86, 97, 818, 279}
set current view of this_window to column view
end tell

Yeah, just leave it open. Perhaps you are under the windows mentality that it is bad to leave apps open.
Somewhat :) I have 1.25 GB RAM so it shouldn't be a problem...
Maybe I am just a neat freak :rolleyes:

You won't be able to find a display with resolution of 2560x1600, which is the maximum res of Mini, for 350$. Those go for around 1000$ at least. The best you can get is 1920x1080, or 1920x1200 if you're lucky.

I just got a new iPod at the Apple Center in Beijing, and am extremely happy with it. I got the 30GB model because it was the only one available--the rest were sold out The people in the store told me that it wasn't just their store that didn't have them, apparently Apple China is completely out of stock.
As happy as I am with the iPod, I am running to a small problem, and I wonder if anybody can help.
My iPod's hard drive is bigger than the 10GB drive on my iBook. I outgrew the 10GBs a long time ago, and purchased an external hard drive to deal with the overflow. All of my music is on the external drive, which has a nastily loud fan.
What I'd like to do is stop using the external drive to store my music, and just use the iPod. Does anyone know if this is possible? I can't figure out how to make it work.
