khaos34 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Looks much cleaner :) the aqua scrollbars didn't fit in as much... I don't like them getting rid of the "browse/import/burn" button and making it a dull button on the bottom - especially since the "browse" opens up at the top.

dior_addict Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Anyone know when the retail stores will recieve them? There's one close by me, so I rather just drive there than order it online.

Crazysah Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 This is cool but if you have a 5G then there is no point in buying the new 5.5G because the only new thing you would get is space or 60% more brightness. Also iTunes 7 is a nice refresh from iTunes 6.

Shadow XL Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) I Think the funniest thing is that they said they were making big changes when they got rid of the mini line, but now they have released the new nano which looks exzactly like the ipod mini just smaller.

JMann Veteran Posted September 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 13, 2006 If anyone is still having problems where the "Unknown Error has Occured" (-#) then I fixed this by opening up Quicktime seperately which did not install correctly and then have that install close it and then open up iTunes and it worked fine. Just a heads up. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491875-apple-event-on-september-12th/page/19/#findComment-587879342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikyouCrow Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) Our iMac G5's are running Photoshop twice as fast as the Intels. not really a fair comparison considering there isn't a native Intel version out yet. as for obsolescence, it's apple, man! the designers are like: "dammit! he promised he wouldn't do that!" "do what, dude?" "talk about the new 17" powerbooks! s**t! now we're gonna have to work over time on something else!" "you're upset? my wife said we have a baby girl." "cool man!" "heck! i can't even remember what my wife looks like!" that powerbook was obsolete the second Steve Jobs unvailed it.

AZKABAZ Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Landshark, BBQ means Barbeque. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=omgwtfbbq Although BBQ can also mean "Better Be Quick" so I guess it's a context thing isn't it? Don't forget to Google before you ask ;) Computers are outdated the second you buy them! I bet the military is looking at the civilian computer industry and laughing their arses off at how primitive we all are with our "Conroe's". I'm pretty dissapointed that the laptops were not Meromed tbh :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491875-apple-event-on-september-12th/page/19/#findComment-587879630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowRanger13 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Everyone I have a Theory. Now I just thought of it so I could be totally wrong but this is what I think. Right now if you buy any mac besides the mini (and now besides the imac because they updated them and obviously make less money on them now) you can get a free ipod nano if your a student (still works on the new ipods maximum $205 rebate). Obviously a lot of students are going to be buying laptops right now because the school year is starting/started (I just started school last week). This offer ends on the 16th and they could easily be using this to get rid of all the core duo laptops they have in stock right now. They released the new imac's with almost no notice (just rumors of a 23"). I am hoping/guessing with in a few weeks they will quietly update them to core 2 duo. I almost all the new laptops are using them now and I don't think any company actually made a big announcement about witching. So I see Apple doing so quietly in the next few weeks.

Gunmetal and OS X = :no: Yeah, didn't fit in - not in respect to the rest of the OS GUI, but to the iTunes interface, which also has a different interface than Safari, Mail, and Pages. Anyway, that's just what I think :) With the path iTunes was headed down, I think the blue aqua scrollbars started to stand out just a bit.

LingeringSoul Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Can't wait for those new iPod shuffles to arrive in stores. I already have a 4th gen iPod (w/ color screen), but this will be great for when I'm working out. The new iTunes is pretty neat. The new scrollbars are a little disappointing (I preferred the Aqua bars TBH), but everything else is neato. I really like how they have an actual download window now, for when you're buying an album off of the iTunes store (as opposed to having your download information at the top bar thing). They also reminded me to back up my purchased music, which was cool. I kept putting that off for the longest time.

khaos34 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 didnt fit? and now it fit perfectly right? :rolleyes: What? No, I didn't say that - I do think that these scrollbars fit more with the overall look of iTunes now though. Don't be all offended that I offered my opinion and explained where I came from - I never said that Giga was wrong about anything and if he likes the blue scrollbars, then good for him :) I wish there was a way for people that like it to get it back the way it used to be.

Southern Patriot Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I Think the funniest thing is that they said they were making big changes when they got rid of the mini line, but now they have released the new nano which looks exzactly like the ipod mini just smaller. They did make two big changes: flash memory and a color screen. I bet the military is looking at the civilian computer industry and laughing their arses off at how primitive we all are with our "Conroe's". You've never been in the military then, have you? I spent 6 years as an electronics tech in the Navy. Generally the military is several years behind the civilian world when it comes to computers. Why? Budgets partially, and the need for their hardware to be 100% tested and proven before being used in the field. They can't afford to be beta testers for the computer industry.
