RE: Macbook Air suddenly slow to boot up

[M. Taylor]

Hello Ed,

I suggest that you reset the system PRAM.  

To reset the PRAM, power on the Mac while pressing Option+Command+R+P until the 
startup chime is heard, twice.  

It may be necessary to perform this several times until you are successful.  It 
can be tricky.  

Good luck,

Mark

Subject: Macbook Air suddenly slow to boot up

Hi,

My 2012 Macbook Air has suddenly become slow to boot up.

I am running Yosemite and have the hard drive encrypted.  I used to be able to 
enter the password a couple of seconds after the startup sound, but since last 
week, I have had to wait around half a minute before the password box appears.

I’m not aware of having installed anything in particular over the past seven 
days.  Does anyone have any ideas about why the machine may have suddenly 
become slow to boot and what I might try? The machine does not seem to be any 
slower during actual operation.

Cheers,

Ed

Re: Swift Courses on iTunes U

[Barry Hadder]

The Stanford course Programming Abstractions in C++ is allso on iTunes U. 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/course/programming-abstractions/id495054099
The first lecture is on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMzH3tfP6f8.

There is a draft book available, "Programming Abstractions in C++" by Eric S
Roberts. It's for the CS106b course at Stanford University, and I would
recommend it after you've learned the basics of programming. The "Design
Patterns" book is very good, although I am yet to read it in depth, so this
recommendation isn't based on a detailed reading.

Another great book that anyone serious about programming should read at some
point is Abelson, Sussman and Sussman, Structure and Interpretation of
Computer Programs, 2nd ed., also available online in TeXInfo format, which is
quite accessible if you read the source file. Video lectures by the authors
are also available.

Re: Swift Courses on iTunes U

[Barry Hadder]

The important thing to keep in mind is that this is just a resource.  You are 
not enrolling in the course and you are not under the same time constraints nor 
does this have any effect on your GPA.
No one has mastered anything at this level.  From the little I heard of the 
first lecture, it’s sounds to me like a class for absolute beginners.  The main 
problem I heard is that he seemed to me to spend too much time on explaining 
the IDE then was necessary.
There are things on OOP all over the web that will git you up to speed.  The 
Switf book in the iBooks store will do that as well.

Re: SIRI not using enhanced quality voice on my new iPhone6

[Phil Halton]

I had taken those steps of connecting to power and Wi-Fi, and still Siri was 
stubbornly sticking with the compact voice. That is why I contacted Apple 
Accessibility and started the case ticket. I managed to force Siri to upgrade 
to the enhance quality by doing the following:
One, I switched from Englishto another language temporarily. And then back 
again to English.
Two I then did the connect the power and Wi-Fi trick and that forced Siri to 
download the enhanced English quality voice. For some reason it seems to of 
been stuck and changing languages and then back again forced the download.
For the other Lister who was asking about advanced settings for Siri, it should 
be noted that there are no settings per se. Just the act of connecting to power 
and Wi-Fi Siri will then bring down the enhanced quality voice for the selected 
language.

Re: SIRI not using enhanced quality voice on my new iPhone6

[Alan Lemly]

Okay. Sometimes folks use Siri and VoiceOver interchangeably and I guess I 
misunderstood the original post. I wasn't aware that Siri had different quality 
settings or even that you had to download it in order to use it. I know Siri or 
some part of it resides on Apple servers so you must have Internet access to 
use it but I've never seen any quality settings for it. 

Where is the setting for the quality?

Re: Skype very important, please help

[Shaf]

You should absolutely use your mac. Make sure there's enough lighting 
for your face to focus in the camera. Good luck with your interview! :)

Hello,
I have to do a job interview on Skype. Can anyone tell me where it is the most 
accessible way to do it? Should I use my Mac, or my iPad? Any tips or 
instructions would also be helpful.
Thanks

Re: Skype very important, please help

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Weird!  I've never seen that happen, and believe you me, I use the camera when 
on Skype as often as I possibly can, unless I'm not presentable, which is rare.

  Hi,
  if you use the MAC I would make a test call for at least a little more than  
five minutes though. I have seen skype lose the picture after a couple of 
minutes in conjunction with the screen saver a couple of times, both on my MBA 
and on my MAC desktop.
  In other words, if stability is the main issue I would settle for the iPad.
