Apple new product rumours and general news

No idea on the phone as I upgraded to a 6s. As for the iPad - the 9.0.2 update seems to have helped a lot. Less buggy in feel but It's definitely not as nippy as it used to be.

Thanks! I waited until 9.0.2 for 5s so I guess I'll just go ahead before all my apps start winking-out :p Cheers
 
Pangu jailbreak for iOS 9 (windows only mac in a couple of weeks) out now.Rumour has it that Apple has closed the exploit in iOS9.1beta so that's why they've released it.
 
After a few weeks with ios9 I can't say I've noticed much change, it *feels* a bit snappier but the stand out feature is actually quite subtle: the back to previous app button.

Absolutely love it, very useful!

The downside is that I keep pressing it accidentally when I am trying to scroll to the top of a webpage in Safari.

The other thing I would like to see them introduce is a scroll down the feature for Safari for forums and the like.
 
Adobe premier seems to have stopped encoding ...sigh.
So I may need to try Final Cut Pro X but it will require an upgrade to El Capitan.
... I hope it works..

What do you need encoding? i.e. from what format to what format?

There were some major problems with Final Cut Pro X...... But I'm a bit of an encoding master :D
 
It is a basic edit with some sped up footage, animated stills and titles encoding down to 720p, it worked ok yesterday now premiere crashes.
What are the problems with El Capitan and Final Cut Pro x...
I've reinstalled premiere from the creative cloud and restarted the render
I have a headache... Lol
 
Ios 9.0.2, bit sketchy re typing in safari. AKA randomly dont work. Maybe justs effects voiceover usage. Will report to apple when can be arsed.
 
I've upgraded to El Capitan on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and am having problems - it keeps freezing and the screen is showing a flickering 'clock wheel'. Not the coloured pinwheel but the white on grey clock face. One of the problems is I don't know what it's called so it's hard to search for a solution.

I tried resetting the PRAM, fixing permissions etc. but that didn't help. I reinstalled the OS and it seemed OK for a day but the problem is back.

Any ideas?

Suggestions that this may be caused by a mail bug, if you use mail?

There wasn't problems as such with el capitan and final cut pro x...... it was more a lot of functionality that was stripped out of final cut pro x.

Apple totally fucked it up :(

My premiere export seems to be working again now.. hopefully it was a temporary glitch.

I cant believe they stripped functionality from FCP X, wasn't it already a stripped down version on FCP 7??
I guess soon it will be no different from iMovie.... :rolleyes:

They basically brought it into line with imove, but made it look like a pro version

They did the same with their photography software, got rid of iPhoto for home users, and aperture for pro, and then brought in photos, which is ok for home use, but a bit poor for pro.

Im still clinging onto aperture, its a cracking bit of software
 
I'm pleased I didn't get it..
In terms of photography the online services such as pixlr and picmonkey are ok for basic stuff but when I need to change things like colour channels etc I'm using Affinity.

I had a cracked version of aperture 2..... and weirdly when aperture 3 came up it let me upgrade it legitimately via the app store...... I've been tempted to move to lightroom, but I just can't be bothered.
 
Not had any trouble with Aperture so far on El Capitan. A year or two down the line, though, who can say?

I've been looking at available plugins for the new Photos every now and then but they still seem like novelty stuff. I very much doubt we'll see anything decent; plugin writers will assume that anyone serious uses Lightroom, which I can't stand.
 
My 'z' key is broken.

The apple store just quoted me £340 to fix it. This is because they have to rip out the whole innards and replace everything else, including the battery, but excluding the motherboard.

What sort of machine and how broken is the key?
 
However, I'm not contemplating an El Capitano upgrade on my old mac so that I can transfer via time machine to the new mac. Seems like a horrible 'upgrade'.

I'm going to try the time machine transfer without upgrading my old mac and see how it goes.

I'm buggered if I'm going to pay Adobe a subscription and Lightroom 4 is obsolete for me now, since it doesn't support my most used camera.

I'm on a 30 day trial of Capture One and it's quite good. Rather like what I remember Aperture as being. Much more integrated and intuitive UI compared to Lightroom.

Pricey though, if you don't do that sort of thing for a living, which I don't.

Also been trying out various kinds of Linux / Open Source stuff in a VM. I suspect that's probably where I'll end up going.
