Re: Software for viewing a surveillance system on the Mac? - 6 years ago

I will post the name of the software I use at home, it was a breeze to set up. The only thing is that it only lets you view one camera for free after that you have to pay. Not sure of the price since I only use one camera. Just a quick search and I found this site (not the one I use), it's free for 30 days.

Re: Need new earbuds for my iPhone 4... iPhone 5 earbuds or other? - 6 years ago

The new Apple earbuds are a lot more comfortable and I don't see how they would fall out, but I haven't ran with them yet. I love them for yard work, they stay in my ears better than the old one and better than foam ones. They do sound better but if your a audio freak I would look elsewhere.

Re: Phone Opinions: Samsung Galaxy S3 ? - 6 years ago

I am totally a Apple guy and I have had a iPhone since the first release and will most likely keep on using the iPhone. The Galaxy S3 is a great phone and it will probable take more drops than a iPhone (so great for kids). The new Android phones are good phones and easy to configure, just put in you google id and your up and running. But get insurance, I do notice friends Android phones seem to h

Re: iOS vs. Android Poll - if you have used both, which you like better - 6 years ago

I like iOS and really it does almost anything I want, it syncs everything with all my macs and streams to the Apple TV. To me there isn't much to configure, it just works. I will say I would like to be able to move files around in the OS better but there is usually a way to get it done. I thought about trying the Samsung SIII but after thinking about it, what else do I need a phone to do. I wi

I know I had a girlfriend that worked at the hospital and wore scrubs all the time, on lazy nights she would sit around in scrubs until bed time and I'm like is this clean or did you wear this all day.

Re: Anyone else "dislike" the new Podcast app? - 6 years ago

I won't use it, it has always given me problems. I use downcast, it's worth 2.99 to have a quality app if you use it a lot. There are some other pretty good podcast apps too, but make sure it's updated to io6 if you have the iphone5.

Re: iOS 6 Podcast App issues - 6 years ago

I ended up getting Downcast and it seems to be working great, I gave up on Podcast and Podcaster. I didn't want to pay for another app since I had already paid for Podcaster but I couldn't deal with waiting for Podcaster to be fixed and trying to use Podcast as my backup. Apple could have made Podcast App better just by adding a few features. And I don't really need anything that special I just w

Re: iOS 6 Podcast App issues - 6 years ago

I can't stand the podcast app, it seems to screw up most of my podcast. It doesn't download the new ones and for some weird reason it changes the date on the podcast but it's the same episode as the day before. The only reason I like it is because it's updated to iOS 6 so I have full screen on the new iPhone. Hopefully other podcast apps update theirs soon for iOS 6.

Re: I wish Apple shipped more promptly - 6 years ago

I always thought Apple was fast, usually they ship overnight when you didn't even pay for overnight shipping. I would think it's probable a supply constraint.

Re: Selling iPhone were to meet - 6 years ago

Cool I'll do the dark alley! I guess I don't need to worry about it yet, so far the buyers that did respond were all low ballers. Now it's so far down in the list because of so many for sale, it may take another listing.

Selling iPhone were to meet - 6 years ago

I am selling my iPhone on Craigslist, were would you meet to sell it. I have heard of snatch and runs so I really would like to meet in a public place and definitely not my house. Is AT&T or the Apple Store a good place to meet and will they let you do your business in there, we could say we want you to verify the phone is legit.

Re: I take back everything nice I said about iOS6 Maps - 6 years ago

There is plenty of choices, you can't say Apple doesn't give you choices. There are some good free apps and many apps you can pay for. Google maps has screwed me more than once but I still use. Now I will give Apple a try, it's worked good so far for me. But I do have 4 map apps on my phone when trouble occurs and the paid app is the worst of them all, not easy to use at all.

Re: Home Depot Deal of the Day: Foscam Wireless Security N IP Camera $70 + Tax - 6 years ago

I just bought one a couple of weeks ago and it's been working great, it takes a little playing around with router settings but after that it works good (plenty of forums to help with the camera setup). It will email photos to you and also the live camera view works great on the iPhone and iPad. Now most of us are on a Mac so it doesn't have all the bells and whistles until you download some third

Re: Does anyone here like Apple maps more than Google maps? - 6 years ago

Like I said they let others provide it, pay your carrier for it or buy something like the TomTom app. Apple does what they want on their own time, customer complaints don't bother Apple that much. Don't you know by now that Apple tells the customer what they need, I love my Apple products but sometimes you do wish they would give a little more freedom with their products.

Re: Does anyone here like Apple maps more than Google maps? - 6 years ago

Because they were letting others provide it, now they want to do it. Whether it's to screw google on advertising or they just want to control their own destiny, they will have to tell you. I'm down with it, it works for me so far with limited use but it will get better in time for other areas.

Re: Wa Hoppen? AAPL down $17.70 - 6 years ago

I don't know but if you keep up with iPhone news sites it's on a couple today, just reporting what I read. Is it the reason Apple stock is down? Who knows.

Re: Wa Hoppen? AAPL down $17.70 - 6 years ago

It's because Samsung today announced again that they are going after the iPhone as soon as it hits the shelves. They say apple is infringing on their LTE patents and investors know the iPhone is the money maker. So if they get a injunction on the iPhone it could slow sales down.

Foscam Wifi cam - 6 years ago

I just purchased a foscam wifi camera and I have it all set up for motion detection surveillance. It's set up so it will record to my Mac at all times or the iPhone and iPad when the app is on but I would like it to also upload to FTP. Does anyone know of free FTP storage site? I thought Dropbox or box.net might work but it looks like a no go on the free storage portion only on enterprise. I see

Re: 16GB Apple iPad 2 w/ WiFi in White or Black (Refurbished) w/ 1-year Warranty $319 + Free Shipping - 6 years ago

I have found that 16 gigs isn't much space at all, I can deal with it but I sure wish I had another 16gigs. Now if your just using it for surfing and checking email it's plenty, but if you get a few apps like garage band and iMovie your gigs are going quickly.

Re: iPhone 4S video out through Dock -> Composite Cable - 7 years ago

If you buy the apple cable it works fine, I rip my movies, watch eyetv through it, and podcast. I also have a cable that I bought from Amazon and it doesn't work, so I would go with the real deal if you want to make sure it works or a name brand that has good reviews. (like Monster) HBO go doesn't work because they don't allow it.
