Critical Update Issued for Apple TV

08 Nov 2009 08:08:01 PST

Written by Charles Jade
In a letter to unlucky Apple TV users, the Apple TV team (at least those that still have jobs) gave instructions for updating. It appears Apple’s “hobby,” as the Apple TV has been described by company executives, could use a little more developer attention, not to mention a purpose besides...

Written by chris.foresman@arstechnica.com (Chris Foresman)
We gave you the lowdown on how well Apple's new Magic Mouse works, told you about a Dutch teen that used port scanning to find vulnerable jailbroken iPhones, showed how less-than-honest iPhone developers claim to have developed others' apps, and how Apple may or may not be dropping suppo...

Written by joe@tidbits.com (Joe Kissell)
Paris, which has been my home since mid-2007, has pretty much everything anyone could want in a world-class city: outstanding restaurants, famous museums, striking architecture, fantastic public transportation, and a rich history that stretches back thousands of years. Besides be...

iApps: The Software Suite Apple Should Create

06 Nov 2009 09:00:17 PST

Written by Jon Buys
Now I think that the three functions of iTunes are tied together because of the iTunes store. Since Apple used the same distribution model that had been successful with music for movies and TV shows, adding the functionality to iTunes and the iTunes Store offered the path of least resistan...

Opinion: HD Media Player Battlemodo: Apple TV Killers

05 Nov 2009 12:25:00 PST

Written by Wilson Rothman
This isn't about photos and music. Apple TV is better at both of those than any of this stuff. It's also not about renting movies or buying movies, or even streaming movies from Netflix. Roku has a nice cheap box for that, and Apple TV is suitable if you just want to live inside Steve Jobs' media st...

Looking for an adorable and easily stealable way to consolidate the entire Beatles catalog? Have no fear, EMI has your back. The record conglomerate may still be at odds with iTunes when it comes a digital release for the fab four, but that doesn't mean there aren't, um, more creative distr...

Patch: Blacksn0w App Now Ready, Eager to Unlock Your iPhone 3G and 3GSes [IPhone]

03 Nov 2009 10:58:35 PST

Written by John Herrman
Apple can permanently patch the blacksn0w exploit in their next firmware update. You must download Cydia's "On File" system in case Apple blocks more exploits in future updates. It's still safe to run the tool, but keep in mind that Apple can—and probably will—patch the core exploit used b...

The combination of mobile broadband and Wi-Fi in the iPhone has long been one of its selling points, and seamless data roaming between cell and Wi-Fi, location discovery, and free access to Wi-Fi networks operated by cellular carriers in some countries make Wi-Fi seem essential. Not so i...

6. No DivX "This file was not transferred because it is unable to be played on Apple TV." Steve Jobs once said that only 4% of music on iPods came from iTunes.

5. Photos Still Require a Sync I don't quite understand this quirk of Apple TV: While music and movies I don't sync to the local drive still appear as long as they're in iTunes on my Mac, the photos that live on that same Mac are off limits unless I physically sync them. The alternative is to share...

Apple iMac Review: 27 Inches and Less Chin

22 Oct 2009 21:27:18 PDT

Written by Brian Lam
The larger case allows the iMac to use four sticks of user-serviceable RAM, accessible from the bottom. (That's useful futureproofing now that OS X Snow Leopard is shipping, and programs and the OS in 64-bit can address more than 4GB at a time.)

Podcast: Tracking Down Snow Leopard's Apple Events Bug

13 Oct 2009 13:44:38 PDT

Written by editors@tidbits.com (TidBITS Publishing)
At first I had been inclined to propose a theory that maybe some external force, such as a bad scripting addition, might be messing things up somehow. This was a reasonable guess, because the Snow Leopard transition to 64-bit has in fact caused existing 32-bit scripting additions to becom...
