My girlfriend bought me the iPad 3 for my birthday a few weeks ago and I LOVE it. Not sure how I survived without it.. Lol. I have the 16gb LTE and the service is SO fast. I pay 30 a month through AT&T for 3gb. I use it constantly and I barely hit 1GB in 3 weeks. I wish they has a 2GB plan.

My MacBook might need an upgrade soon. I bought it in 2008, and it's still going strong but I am always looking out for new and better. I wanted a MacBook air, but with my iPad, I'm not sure I need it anymore.

My currently apple inventory is

IMac
MacBook
iPhone 4s
iPad 3

Im gonna add an Apple TV soon. I bought one for my ex before for his birthday, but it did not stream CC on Netflix so he returned it for somethig else. It was pretty nifty tho, minus that part. Now that I no longer live with anyone deaf, I don't need the CC haha. I was actually considering eliminating my cable bill and only using Apple tv for Netflix and Hulu and ordering the shows I really want on iTunes. So much cheaper!!!

I have a question for my iFriends:

Is it possible to transfer music from an iPod to a computer? Does one need some special software? I've googled it and found a lot of stuff that looks questionable to me. But I'm not techie. Help.

Thank you.

Dude · 06-09-2012, 11:14 AM

I am about to take my life completely mobile here in a week or two.
I am looking into which iphones are better ,which plan will work for me and also
am curious about ipads vs laptops as I dont want to deal with all online stuff being on a tiny phone. My laptop is dead anyway so I want to make a wise choice.
I need something to store a resume ,pictures,music and thats about it.

I'm with at&t and wonder if a hot spot (blah blah) is something I need.
I dont want to go there and have them talk me into a bunch of
shit I just dont need.300mg plan for phone? 3g for ipad? ugh I'm clueless.
I am doing all this to simplify my life so the monthly bill is important to me
but I also need something I'll be happy with.
I really want to choose wisely. I would appreciate any and all suggestions.
It sucks but I really dont have the time to really research anything.
Things have just fallen into place and I have to order what I want, fairly quickly.
I'm trying to envision a smoooth transition without having to crawl on the roof for a signal or smacking anything around because it's too slow

pms appreciated because you may have to talk to me like I'm five or something. snort

iPod Touch: It got me through my months-long illness and recovery, and I adore it. I have a little rubber case for it and I've done Rushniki embroidery along the back to make it into a Ukepod. I keep it stashed in the car to play music rather than have stacks of CDs.

iPhone: It's my electronic work leash, bed-reader and method of data capture.

iPad: Assigned to me for work. I mainly just use it to take inventory, quickly send files zipping through the ether around the office and take pictures of intricately-drawn and planned whiteboards to send to the people who phone into meetings where these drawings are created.

I like my devices.

i copy from my itunes to a hard drive then to whatever i want....

girl_dee · 06-09-2012, 07:01 PM

Dude,

it depends on you. For ME, I could never replace my laptop with an ipad... i store about 10,000 photos and process them all on my laptop... i watch movies on netflix on my iphone at night and love it,,, others say it's too small...

i have the 15 inch MacBrookPro 2009 edition and i LOVE this machine, for the first time since the laptop/computer i don't want to replace it. i have to do a software upgrade but that's optional, it runs fine and believe me, i run it through the mill.....

Now Syr who uses the computer for browsing the net and checking email hasn't turned on her laptop since we got her the ipad. It's not a 3g edition because that is a whole nother charge from the phone company and she just doesn't need it, there is wifi everywhere and she hardly needs that function.

My spirit sister uses her iphone like a computer, she checks weather, email, facebook even keeps her grocery list on it...

The plans are different every where you go, so you may have to end up going in and chatting them up!

I have an iPhone and use it as my portable pc. It's great for work too. I love my iPhone.

ruffryder · 06-09-2012, 07:11 PM

I'm not sure you can copy the iPod content to a computer. I've only known to Copy from the computer to the iPod and all you need is the USB cord. I could be mistaken.
Dude, I think an iPad will work for you for what you want to use it for. It is a big iphone. I would suggest a Droid phone cause you can hook it up to a mini laptop but i'm not sure AT&T Carries them; they are more known for IPhones. I would suggest if you can go to an apple store with these questions. As for needing wi fi, internet, how many gigs, maybe they have a bundle or unlimited option. You can always downgrade if you don't use it alot. I'm not sure what all at& t offers, I have Verizon. Maybe some others will come in and answer also. ,

Linus · 06-13-2012, 07:46 AM

So, interesting experience recently. I try to stay up-to-date on upgrades and OSes. Currently, my MacBook Pro is at Lion (and will likely be at Mountain Lion a week or two after release). Yesterday morning a new patch was released for Lion and I was one of the first to download and install it. Unfortunately for me, it had some bad code and completely trashed my OS. Now, I admit that I hadn't done a backup recently but I knew that was my own fault so didn't worry much about that. I was more concerned about having access to my laptop.

Well, something I wasn't aware was that not only does Lion have it's own little recovery partition, it also has it's own simple wireless driver and, if you need to, will do an in-place re-install of the OS (Operating system). To get to this press Command+R at boot. It took me a bit of time to find a stable wireless to use (I'm at a hotel this week -- big shock that wireless sucks here) but once it found that, it downloaded it, installed it and rebooted.

And I got all my data still intact, all the applications still working and I'm good as golden again. And I think I'll wait until I'm at home to do the update as it'll be easier from the home wireless if it continues to screw things up.

Kelt · 07-26-2012, 04:25 PM

Living in the house that Apple built:

Big iMac
Baby Macbook (air 11")
iPhone 4s
iPod 80g
Airport extreme

Now that I have just uploaded Mountain Lion to the Mac brothers I am thinking of adding Apple TV as a compliment to my Roku. Even though there will be a fair bit of overlap, I'm thinking they can fill each others gaps. I like the idea of hanging out on the sofa with the air and having it mirror onto the big TV.

I know it is probably too early to ask, but has anyone tried the Mountain Lion/Apple TV combo yet? Good? Not so good?

Also just noticed the app to use the phone as a remote while viewing iTunes content. Anyone tried that yet? I don't know how long this has been out.

Thanks for any feedback

starryeyes · 08-20-2012, 09:02 AM

So, Justin and I just bought an Apple TV and signed up for the hulu plus service. We are sick of paying DirecTV 100 bucks a month to only watch a few shows that we can stream in Hulu for 7.99 a month. The only issue I am having is streaming AirPlay from my iPad. We like big brother and can't get the CBS episodes to stream to the television. I can't find the airplay symbol since it is streaming directly from the CBS web page. Is there a way around this? Also, can you use AirPlay with YouTube?

Thanks! :-)

Going to upgrade to new iPhone in September. I have loved my iPhone ! Also love my MacBook, upgrading to MAcBook Pro. Never had anything but an Apple as far as computers go.

I will be interested to see how you work this out. I will pick up an Apple TV unit mid-September (in case they make any changes, which I doubt), and will want to use it in a similar way with a Macbook air.

I think it's a safe bet that You tube will have to go through Mountain Lion since Google owns it.

Apple is playing nice with some outside content providers, but I don't see that one happening.
