New Macbook Air impresses the press

Despite the "downgrade" of the processors performance is improved.

Performance on new Macbook Air reportedly up to par with 15" Macbook Pros?

iPhoto update addresses data loss
|
|
|
|
![*](LeafRowHandle.png) |
Apple rushed out iPhoto '11 9.0.1 update to address some customers reporting data loss when upgrading their iPhoto '09 (8.X) libraries
|
|
|
|
![collapse V](Expanded.png) |
According to Apple's release notes the issue occurred in "extremely rare cases"
|
|
|
|
![*](LeafRowHandle.png) |
I had more than a couple reports of the bug.
|
|
|
|
![collapse V](Expanded.png) |
Apple recommends installing the update prior to upgrading your Library
|
|
|
|
![*](LeafRowHandle.png) |
The issue seems to be mostly related to users force quitting the app thinking it's stalled
|
|
|
|
![*](LeafRowHandle.png) |
For very large libraries, iPhoto '11 may appear to be inactive for several minutes before the progress bar is displayed — do not force quit the application during this period.
|
|
|
|
![*](LeafRowHandle.png) |
If you have force quit iPhoto '11 during a library upgrade, you should not attempt to open iPhoto '11 or upgrade the library again without first installing the iPhoto 9.0.1 Update.

Love the full screen mode and info bar in iPhoto

We still want iDVD

Many of you responded to day that you love iDVD and burn DVDs of your iMovie projects
|
|

I had said I wish Apple would add new features to iDVD to allow it to output on DVD formats compatible with iTunes and AppleTV
|

I had been thinking it was one or the other, but there is no reason to do away with DVD burning, at least not yet.

Items not streaming to Apple TV

Ken noticed that his movies had to be checked (in the list view) in iTunes to be able to be seen and streamed to his new Apple TV
|

I like many uncheck music and music videos so they don't play on random. You can also prevent unchecked items from syncing to your devices.
|
|
|
|
![*](LeafRowHandle.png) |
Apparently many are also reporting a bug where the "blue" played/unplayed dot isn't updating properly after playing items on the Apple TV.
