What should you know about iPad?  This unique device is called a table computer and was first presented in San   Francisco. With a price between 500$ - 700$, depending on its memory capacity – 16,32 or 64GB capacities, iPad attracted people's interest. Its features take a little bit from iPhone, Apple’s Magic Mouse, notebook and iPod Touch technology.

With it’s 9.7 inch LCD touch-screen display, build in Wi-Fi, multitouch display, light sensors and 3-axis accelerometer – for adjusting he brightness or the portrait or landscape modes, its ability for screen rotation, Bluetooth interface, A-GPS, 3G mobile connection this device was sold to more than 3 millions people in just 2 months after its appearance. The fact that it can be synced by iTunes, the various applications: Maps, YouTube, Video, Mail, Calendar, Safari, Notes, Spotlight search or other new applications like iBooks for example (this application has the ability of a virtual bookshelf – that contains popular books or text books) strenghten the image of this device.



Is Apple iPad a computer?  When this device was first presented many did saw it like a portable device. From the point view of some people this iPad is a so called keyboardless laptop. For others this is nothing more than a portable media player. On the one hand the fact that you can easily download for free, applications or plug-ins  like FireFox, Photoshop, MacBook, Flash or the fact that you can even install Windows 7 give the tendency of holding a laptop in your hands. On the other hand it’s orientation and similar design – but a little bigger – with iPhone, build in speakers and microphone, the keyboard dock (you can connect it just vertically) it’s operating system – a single tasker (when you run third- part applications), the ability to purchase media, HD movies, music from iTunes could be some pro arguments for a media player device. Tell me your thoughts. What do you think about iPad? From your point of view do you think it’s a computer or media player?

Does iPad has phone functions? What do you say? At an event Mr Jobs, the director of the Apple Company, affirmed that iPad is something between PC and mobile device. It is a lot better than a laptop and a Smartphone. The most interesting, astonishing fact is the one that YES, iPad has also mobile phone functionalities included. There is incorporated a micro-SIM card. So you use iPad also as a phone by simply inserting your SIM card. The fact that iPads are unlocked (you can insert what telecom SIM card you wish) increase the desire to buy such a unique and genius device.



Whould you like to have such a device in your house? Do you think you could replace it with a laptop? Compare the laptops’ prices and the iPads’ prices. Look at their features, functionalities, abilities and let me know what would you choose.

iPad it is considered to be a bigger iPhone with some improvements in the application field and also technology field. Some people did affirm the fact that the price of this device it too high. Why? The identical properties with iPhone and the GPS application – which is considered to be discovered a iPhone too are some of the reasons. The fact that it is bigger than iPhone (this is what some people do consider) is not enough to pay some extra money just to have this device in their house. iPhone’s price is much lower.

About GPS and the genial MacBook

posted in MacBooks, by adimoga

How many of us would want to have an electrical device with large screen to display the map we need when we travel? GPS systems have long become a commodity, not a rare accessory. But GPS such as Garmin or other have small screen and they can not display all the details surrounding area. We all know that are much easier to use than paper maps. It is disastrous to drive and search on the paper map in the same time, to get to the unknown location.  Why MacBook and why not other laptop? Apple products have a 'special feature' and always attract attention. MacBook is a stylish 13-inch laptop that weighs just over 2 pounds, not a "monster" of four or five pounds. Its dimensions are 32.5 x 22.7 x 2.41 cm.

Frame processed by laser, without detachable parts, presents itself as the strongest. Switching from Windows to Mac OS is very easy. You don’t need more than two clicks during installation.
According to Apple, the battery life is somewhere between 3.5 and 7:00, plus 1,000 recharge cycles before its performance will decrease to 80%. Are there any types of GPS devices you could connect to the MacBook ? Or a kind of GPS that takes the incoming signal from a GPS and display it on a big map?



What is known is that it was not yet invented a version of Apple MacBook which has built-in GPS. But there are other alternatives. One of them includes download certain software on your MacBook area offering information about routing and mapping. There are many programs and applications that can be found on various websites. Some of them you can download free, some not. You just have to read their comments, user reviews in order to see which fits best with  the Apple MacBook we have.

Another alternative would be to buy a GPS device and connect it to your Mac. But there are many GPS devices which can’t run on the MacBook. Perhaps if you run Windows on your Mac, it might work, like for example the Delorme software. It makes a GPS that connects to a laptop for navigation issues. Some GPS devices connect to your Mac through Bluetooth or specific cables.

There are many models from where you can choose. A GPS device highly suggested is for example, Garmin Mobile PC. It offers a lot of information needed when it comes to unknown road, or the shortest path to destination. Moreover, other useful features that this Garmin GPS offers on your MacBook are about weather and navigation information.



Whatever you choose, the important thing with GPS and Mac is that we could update the maps or make changes. One of the best options in this case is to run Bootcamp or parallel so you can load it to the GPS. Parallels are a virtual machine. You don’t have to do any partitioning of your OSX system to install parallels.



BootCamp on the other side requires a separate partition. When you install it it will allow you to configure it. Available for Mac OS X is also RouteBuddy. It is one of the most advanced mapping applications. Moreover before buying it, you can download it for free to see how it works.

So don’t wait any longer. Our travel friends are varied; they expect us to choose what we need more.

How to connect Apple TV to external drive


No comments

posted in Apple, by adimoga

Would you like to watch your favorite movies, TV shows, play 3D games or even listen music on the very best devices, speakers in your house? Now you can accomplish your dream in the easies way possible. With the help of Apple TV, iTunes can connect your iPod, iPhone, TV and computer in the same time. With iTunes Store you can buy or rent HDTV movies, music and listen or watch them on your TV. iTunes by wirelessly syncing to your TV can do this.

The ingenious thing of this device, Apple TV is the fact that while streaming – the process of sending data from one device to another – you have the possibility to watch the movie, TV show or anything else you stream directly on the device you want to receive. So it’s not necessary to wait till the whole program arrived to the destination.



Why would you need an external drive? Though the music library is over 40 gigs, the video is even larger you’ll not be able to use Apple TV to its fully automated sync and have in the same time access to all your contents. This is one of the reasons why you should use an external drive. Many would say why not to plug a USB hard drive. Because of service reasons.

The bad parts of this device are: it does not support Pandora, it doesn’t work with non-widescreen TVS, the movies that you rent have to be watched within 24 hours, the remote will not be able to control other devices.

You definitely need a hard drive if you want to copy the contents from your tv, extend the memory capacity or reformate your drive.

What are the thing you need for adding a hard drive to your Apple TV? IDE Hadr Drive Sled, putty knife, Torx 8 and 10 screwdrivers and adhesive. In just 10 steps you’ll fnish your work. First you have to take away the rubber form the bottom of the Apple (use a putty knife). Secondly remove the Torx screws located in each corner. After payng off the back panel remove the other remaining Torx screw. You also need to take away the ribbon attached to the hard drive. With the help of the hard drive sled connect the existing drive to Apple computer. Copy its content. In the terminal type the word “diskutil list”. In this way yu’ll have access to all the names of your hard drives. Disconnect the existing drive and connect the new one. After copying the content of the new drive using the command “dd if=/dev/yourname of=/Users/yourname/appleTVDrive-Compressed.img bs=1024k” connect the drive to your Apple TV and put back the Torx screws.



If you want to upgrade your hard drive from Apple TV after removing all the TORX screws connect the IDE cable to an USB adapter. After connecting this adapter to your MAC laptop type “dd if=/dev/disk2 of=/Users/Engadget/AppleTV.img bs=1024k ” in the terminal. With this command you’ll copy the content of the drive, after locating it with the command “diskutil”. After setting up the drive you’ll be able to add a new partition. Use the command “diskutil eraseVolume "Journaled HFS+" Media /dev/disk2s4” to format the disk. If there are no spotlight files eject the disk and reinstall it in your apple Tv.

Still if you think it’s too hard for you to do this kind of things take your Apple TV to professionals upgrade service.

What would you do? Will you try to change or upgrade your hard drive from Apple TV by yourself or will you choose professional service?
