How do I update the playlists on the old iPod without an old iMac? That is not encouraging. My old iPod will likely never be able to be iTunes attached to the new iMac. I was hoping the problem might be fixed at some time. >> Stay informed about: New Macbooks and Macbook Pros

There is a thriving but small market for old computers. Apple products are generally well built and physically they should work for many years. However, with the current pace of change in the IT industry (Internet, web applications, interfaces, chip designs, standards, wireless technologies, operating systems, graphics, the move to mobile devices etc) I think it is crazy to try to design a machine with anything more than about a three year "support life". I am not saying I am happy with the situation as it is clearly wasteful of resources - but things move on. Why does AppleCare last only three years? It is because Apple assumes that the vast majority of people who can afford to buy a new Mac now will not want to keep using what is effectively an obsolete product in three years time. I certainly don't expect my iMac to be fully supported and compatible with all new technology when it is three years old, and I will pass it on to someone who is prepared to accept its inevitable limitations.

"MacNotes.de received unconfirmed word that new Penryn based iMacs would be seen next Tuesday, continuing Apple's pattern of weekly announcements since Macworld. "There's been no independant confirmation of such an announcement, but would be consistent with rumors that Apple is transitioning their Merom processor based Macs over to Penryn due to a planned phase out of Merom processors in the coming months." >> Stay informed about: New Macbooks and Macbook Pros

Not in this filament of the > thread. Following up on the remote control filament... Since Apple isn't giving its remote away anymore, is there a 3rd party remote which will work to control the CPU or an iPod? Perhaps any 'learning' remote? Any 'current readers' have any experience with a particular model. Does it require software? Thanks, --Fred >> Stay informed about: New Macbooks and Macbook Pros
