Netflix streaming issues persist on Apple TV

I’m having exactly the same problem outlined by Peanut on post #34. Has been doing this for a month or so. I’ve contacted Netflix twice via their support chat service and went through all of the obvious troubleshooting procedures, rebooted my router, restarted Apple TV, signed out and back in to Netflix. None of these have fixed the issue.

Carbon Audio debuts Zooka Bluetooth speaker

I purchased one of these for my wife for a gift.  After charging for a day, tried to pair it with two iPhones, then two iPads.  Didn"t work.  Devices would locate Zooka, but would not connect.  Took to Apple store and exchanged.  It did connect there, but brought home and it exhibited the same search but would not pair with anything.
Ideas?

iTunes 11 poll ends, Apple in 2013 poll begins

I can’t see anything better about iTunes 11. It’s just more confusing.

iTunes 11 poll ends, Apple in 2013 poll begins

I hope that you will send the results of the iTunes poll to Apple!

iTunes 11 sucks big time and shows that Apple has lost the plot…

Most Hoping to See from Apple in 2013?

Restore the iMac to a Useful Computer Again!

More than anything, I desperately wish Apple would reverse course in destroying the iMac as a useful device. They already try and make it work like an iPad instead of the computer it is. Look at the simplistic piece of crap they turned iTunes into.

New models have no Superdrive (it has NOT become irrelevant. Not for most of us).

Alas I have little hope any such thing will happen. Apple seems determined to make the iMac obsolete.

Apple granted key multi-touch patent

Is this yet another case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing? Apple has sued over other patents related to multi-touch and the courts have ruled them inapplicable in every case I can remember.

Basically, regardless of what *this* patent says, the courts have already decided that functionally touching more than one spot at a time on a touch sensitive device is not exactly as original an idea as Apple thinks.

I called South Bend store and they denied Greg’s claim that they have sold IPAD 4 to any one for$399.

It is confirmed however that IPAD 3 is selling for $399 in all stores.

A&E debuts iPad apps offering free TV episodes

Those look like some killer apps, but there are already too many network channel apps out there. If I had an app for every channel that I get from DISH, I would have over 250 apps and no room for anything else. That’s why I like the DISH Remote Access app; I can stream all of my live TV channels right to my phone, or I can watch something stored on my DVR at home, and I only need on app to do it. That leaves me with a ton of space for cool things like music, pictures, and non TV apps.

Google Maps gets 10M downloads in first two days

google would never have released a ios gmaps as good as the new one is if Apple had not booted them out of ios.  Google was always releasing ios gmaps that were inferior to the android version.  Only by booting googlemaps out and making their own mapsap, did they force google to make its iosGmaps as good as the Android one.
Yes AppleMaps has defects, but overall it’s a strategic win for apple.  It would have been nice if Applemaps were superior to GMaps, but overall it’s still a strategic victory for the ios garden.

"Troubleshooting the iPod: Unmounting problems, solution"

Here is the problem on my Windows XP computer with Norton AntiVirus 2013.  At the end of syncing my ipod classic with iTunes my computer restarts with the ipod screen saying ‘do not connect’.  Any attempt to disconnect (unmount) the ipod causes Windows to restart.  If I do nothing after a restart with the ipod connected then after a short time Windows restarts again.  The only way out is to disconnect the cable to the ipod (and then deal with having to reset the ipod).  Can’t find anyone else reporting this issue.  Any ideas?

Walmart offers $399 third-gen* iPad, $127 iPhone 5

I just got my 4th generation iPad today at
Walmart in South Bend, Indiana for $399. I wasn’t granted a $30 gift card. Walmart manager scanned all models and nothing showed up to grant me one. Going to check another store later.

Google's Schmidt: Android winning mobile war over Apple

“a good portion of their success is due to Apple’s self-inflicted black eye - otherwise known as the AT&T exclusivity agreement”

Absolutely. If the iPhone had been available across the board like early Android phones were I’d bet the picture would be very, very different. Right or wrong, in much of the country, you have little choice of carrier, ergo, you have little choice to buy a smartphone when they inanely link themselves to a single carrier that is substandard where you live.

Walmart offers $399 third-gen* iPad, $127 iPhone 5

Walmart contacted iLounge and said fourth-generation. We were so surprised that we waited to post the story until we confirmed it with a spokesperson, who said yes, it was the fourth-generation version. It’s unfortunate that this company can’t get facts straight, but that’s Walmart.

This is the widest spread misinformation on iPad pricing I’ve ever seen. As others have noted, this is NOT for the iPad 4.

I just called my local Walmart and they said the $399 pricing is for the 16GB iPad 3rd generation, not the Retina display. They aslso said the iPhone 5 16GB is $189.
