Welcome back Tray,
Do you have Joe Smith (PF Height: 6-10 Weight: 225) mixed up with Joe Johnson or Josh Smith?
This team is never going to be a winner with the current roster make up.
As much as we may like some players, the team needs to be restructured to get some offensive capability.
We need to be rid of Brezec and Brevin Knight definitely, but the guy who's most in the way of this team winning is the guy who gives his all every night...Gerald Wallace.
I say the team could strike a deal to get something in return for some of those guys in the offseason. We should go after Denver's "J.R. Smith". J.R. Smith is from Durham, NC, and he would definitely give the Bobcats serious consideration. His contract ends at the end of this season.
Your lineup would be:
J.R. Smith
Adam Morrison
Okafor (May)
Greg Oden (hopefully)
There is some serious young talent to build on there, and some serious offensive ability. But if you take out Joe Smith and move up Adam Morrison to the two, even with Greg Oden, the team still sucks offensively.
Having a real backcourt of a 6'1 Felton & 6'6 Smith, a SF of 6'8 Morrison would be a lethal perimeter threat.
This roster needs to be restructured. Sadly, that means that Wallace has to go if the scenario I just mentioned presents itself, and it could easily:
1) If we suck all season, we could end up with the #1 draft pick and get Greg Oden.
2) J.R. Smith is from Durham so Charlotte could go after him hard.
3) There are some teams out there that would take BK, GW, Primo, Eli, Matt Carroll in different combinations depending on what they needed.
The team needs to be restructured:
J.R. Smith
Adam Morrison
Welcome back Tray,
Do you have Joe Smith (PF Height: 6-10 Weight: 225) mixed up with Joe Johnson or Josh Smith?
No, I mixed him up with J.R. Smith. The guy who got to fighting the other night in New York.Originally Posted by ziggy
JR Smith is from Durham, NC, and has shown a lot of promise over the last two seasons. He's been shipped around recently, from New Orleans to Denver. I think he may be ready to come home now.
With Iverson, Denver may look to ship JR Smith. Bobcats should offer Gerald Wallace and someone else for JR Smith, because Smith could be a star at Shooting Guard in Charlotte between Felton and Morrison.
How's it going, ziggy. I see you fixed the place up a little. When the 'Cats start winning, it's going to get packed in here.
Ohhhh OK. If thats the case, then yes I'd move Crash for J.R. Smith. In fact, I think the Bobcats could have got him for less than Wallace if they had seriously pursued him over the summer. This summer New Orleans was begging for someone to take him.Originally Posted by tray
The old forum software really, really bugged me. It was lacking in a lot features that I wanted. I bit the bullet and upgraded about a month ago, and I'm glad that I did.Originally Posted by tray
Hows it going Tray
The only thing that scares me about JR is the attitude. Up until the fight he hasn't been much trouble for the Nuggets because all was going well. My question is, how would he be as a Bobcat having to endure Bernie Bickerstaff's questionable coaching and lame brained rotation patterns. When things don't go well for JR he has a history of sulking and being a malcontent, I could definitely see that happening in this environment.
I wouldn't blame J.R. for the fight. Mardy Collins had that deutsche bag foul. I think I would get in his face for that too. It was all calm until 'melo came in and stirred the pot.
I don't think we should get rid of Wallace, but relegate him to 6th man duty. He's a vital piece, but as a energy catalyst like a Ben Gordon (except defensively). I think we should keep him, but make him an important piece off the bench. He would be lethal.
J.R. Smith, I've been a fan of him since he came into the league. He's only 21 and will grow up. I think having Okafor and some other young guys that have good personalities will definitely help. Othella Harrington would definitely be useful as an older brother like figure, like he is for the rest of the team.
THe 2 spot is our definite need of improvement, along with the center position. Improve either/both and we'll improve drastically. Get one through the draft, and the other through FA. It all depends on our spot in the draft as well. If we have a top 5, get our big guy, if not, look for a stud shooter then a risk/reward big man.
On a side note, Hello Tray. Never met you before, but HI! I'm a Bobcats fan in the midst of the Lebron/Cavs lovefest here in Central Ohio. Where you from?
Welcome back Tray!
First of all I would do this trade in a minute I've always said Bernie needs to take a chance on some other players we could have got Smith for little to nothing when he left the Hornets but Bernie never took a chance on a player like him who might have some questionable attitude problems but like some others have said he has been great under a veteran coach in Denver so Bernie probaly could handle him as well. Sometimes Bernie has to take a chance on some guys other than choir boys.
Also the combo of Felton and JR Smith would be fun as hell to watch.
RIP Michael Jackson & Steve McNair
Theres no way that Denver gives him up now. Hes been playing too well, and with an Iverson/Carmelo/J.R. core, they have the tools to make a serious run out west.
Woulda been nice to get him here this summer though.
I'm over in Raleigh, NC.Originally Posted by Bumpus
I think Wallace would rather be traded than fall to 6th man status. That's why I say he doesn't fit.
(Oden or a serviceable center who is not Primo) would be a great starting 5 to build a team around.
G. Wallace would rather be traded than a 6th man, I think. I think the Bobcats have more than enough players to shop around to construct a team around the 4 I mentioned, because they could get Smith if they want him (don't know if they'll get Oden).
I think Denver wants to get rid of him, unless Iverson is going to play the point.Originally Posted by heelfan
I think we could give up Brevin Knight to Denver for JR Smith. Probably Knight and Ely or Primo. I think they'd jump at that.
Hello, all.

With a server virtualization rate approaching 100 percent, Ducati has embraced virtualization rapidly in just the past few years, with resulting benefits of application flexibility and reduced capital costs. Ducati has embraced private cloud models now across both its racing and street bike businesses.
"Private cloud is already a reality in Ducati. Over our private cloud, we supply services to all our commercial subsidiaries. We supply services to our assembly plant in Thailand or to our racing team at racing venues. So private cloud is already a reality."
Dunedin Casino
VMware Virtualization Enables Centralized Management Of Servers And Desktops While Delivering A Dynamic, Responsive Infrastructure
"We have successfully brought our recovery time objective down from four hours to a few minutes, thanks to the ability to quickly bring up a new virtual machine in the event of a problem."
Dunkel GmbH
Dunkel GmbH is the fi rst vCloud Powered Service Provider in Germany to draw on the full power of VMware vCloud to provide high-availability virtual data centers.
"Our cloud-based Virtual Data Center strengthens the customer's position. The customer has control over everything with vCloud Director: management of the virtual environment, firewall protection, network configuration, through to cloud-compliant application management using vApps. This gives our customers greater freedom in making their decisions, and they can use their infrastructure more productively."
Use VMware Infrastructure And vSphere To Consolidate Servers While Improving Uptime And Enhancing Disaster Recovery
"In the six years since we started running our applications on VMware Infrastructure, we've never had an application problem that has been related to virtualization. We're running over 300 virtual machines now and there's enormous momentum for virtualization in our company."
Eanes Independent School District
VMware View Provides A Platform For Desktop Virtualization That Helps School Districts Reduce Costs Of Desktop Environment
"VMware View extends the life of the technology we already have, so that our students aren't negatively impacted by the ups and downs of the economy and educational budget cycles."
Earth Rangers
Environmentally-friendly Organization Achieves 90% Reduction In Power Usage With VMware
" We required a data centre that was scalable, could give performance and energy efficiency that was in line with the Earth Rangers' goal to become completely energy neutral, and would support our interactive, global scale business model that is data- and graphics-intensive. Meeting all these goals, plus a 90% reduction in power and cooling demands, is a huge success."
Eastern Washington University
Eastern Washington University Creates Virtual Labs Using VMware View to Give Students Remote Access to Software Virtual Desktops Deliver "Anytime, Anywhere" Computing
"The biggest driver for our Virtual Labs desktop virtualization project was to provide students with remote access to course-related software applications. In addition, VMware View enables us to deploy new applications or patches quickly and simply."
EDS Turns to VMware Server Virtualization to Support Australian Customers
"The increasing maturity of virtualization and the growing support from independent software vendors is helping fuel deployment of VMware virtualization across production environments. This means more businesses are redeploying or disposing of inefficient hardware and consolidating their data center infrastructure onto multiple virtual server environments, thus contributing to a reduction in power consumption."
Educational Institution
The educational institution was looking for a reliable solution to back up critical data. They chose vSphere Data Protection because it was easy to use and integrated with their vSphere platform.
"It is very important that our backup and recovery solution be well integrated with our VMware infrastructure."
Targets set with regard to virtualisation • establishing the central infrastructure • all virtualised applications shall be installed on this infrastructure • catastrophy-proof operational safety • cost eff ective operations Results achieved with VMware's solution • agressive virtualisation (e.g. 170 virtual machines running on the 3 blade servers of the Microsoft cluster) • in general 40-50 virtual machines running on the other clusters on each physical host • resource utilization of more than 50 percent in general (70-80 percent on certain clusters) • more than 500 virtualised systems • the performance of the SAP company management system increased from twice 2000 SAPS to 12000 SAPS • more than 10 million Forints savings yearly in energy consumption • 15-20 percent reduction of licence costs • serving business demand in 1 week instead of 4-6 weeks • catastrophy-proof operational safety by means of the virtualised systems to be moved between host servers of each site
"Due to the virtualised and centralised infrastructure, we save more than ten million forints yearly on energy costs."
Exceptional reliability had to be part of the plan, however, when it came to virtualizing a number of customer-facing quality assurance (QA) and user-acceptance testing (UAT) applications. For this set of highly visible applications, Stratus ftServer systems and VMware Infrastructure 3 were chosen to assure the flawless operation the company sought.
Stratus ftServer systems and VMware are an ideal mission critical combination
Emerson Innovation Center
Emerson Innovation Center - Pune, adopts VMware Virtualization to help consolidate physical servers while saving costs, power and cooling
"We benefitted from VMware virtualization while migrating physical servers to the virtual environment where we did not need to reconfigure a server on the new virtual environment. We could move physical servers to the virtual environment quickly with minimal / zero downtime."
ENAM Securities
VMware virtualization has allowed ENAM to address all IT challenges, including significant reduction in power, cooling and real estate costs. Consolidation of servers through virtualization has also provided significant ease of manageability.
"We have had 100% uptime since virtualizing our environment with VMware and have also noted significant savings in power and cooling"
Implemented VMware vSphere™ to run SAP ECC6 and the business applications that comprise the Microsoft Office server platform—Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Office Communications Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server—at a centralized, co-location datacenter.
"VMware has enabled us to run our SAP enterprise resource planning systems and Microsoft Exchange Server email more cost-effectively, dynamically and reliably."
EPAM Systems
EPAM centralised infrastructure management in the first phase of the development process aiming at the establishment of an IT environment that would adapt more flexibly to business requirements. In the second phase of the developments in the summer of 2006, EPAM Systems decided to virtualise the development and test environments established for the projects. Thanks to VMware-based virtualisation, we are able to set up the development environment of a starting project several magnitudes faster, just under 1 hour instead of several days or weeks. The other big advantage of virtualisation is that development managers can take a snapshot of the environment before testing a new version or service pack of the software under development or before verifying the version compatibility of a new database manager. EPAM in recent years has achieved two-digit growth in revenues and employed staffs - which are also reflected in the cost of IT.
"The snapshot function of VMware provides a high degree of security for development work. Using this system, it is faster and easier to test our software and we are able to provide an even higher standard of service to our customers. While our earlier infrastructure may have limited this process, our virtualised environment has become the drive behind our business."
EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne)
École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is a Federal Institute of Technology based in Lausanne in Switzerland, they have over 9,000 students and 4,500 staff members. EPFL needed to design, implement and maintain a centralized virtual infrastructure to meet the needs of the entire school. They also needed to reduce total cost of ownership and lower power consumption. vCenter Operations has transformed the way their library storage requirements are supported enabling effective predictions for capacity and a hybrid cloud model has been adopted to provide the ability to extend their infrastructure into the public cloud. As well as a 33% reduction in TCO and 80% reduction in power consumption, EPFL have also experienced increased capacity and optimization through the effective management of their cloud infrastructure.
"We invested in vCenter Operations to support our large infrastructure of 500 VMs and 40 hosts. It has enabled us to predict capacity needs and to easily locate any performance issues."
The competence gained during the implementation of VMware vSphere and the comments we have received from our customers, have enabled Ergomedia to launch public cloud services, based on the VMware vCloud Director. Limitations in Hyper-V drove them to choose VMware to deliver a cloud for their Microsoft Applications.
"In our computing cloud, we provide customers with access to Microsoft applications, but it's VMware who helped us guarantee the top availability and stability of the entire environment. The use of the VMware virtualization software improves and accelerates our work. We do not need to employ additional administrator although the number of virtual machine keeps on growing."
ESSEC Business School
To ensure homogeneity of a fleet composed of 1200 computers, integrate the devices of students and teachers (BYOD) and lighten the IT maintenance expenses. Virtualization of 500 workstations (soon 700 and ultimately 1500) with virtualization of applications to eliminate the conflicts. Provisioning of non-persistent environments (which eliminates profile management). Cross-device portability.
"An institution like ESSEC cannot escape the tidal wave of "Bring your Own Device!" Thanks to VMware, we were able to finally free ourselves from material constraints to offer our users access at any time, from anywhere and from all devices."
Essel Propack
VMware Server Virtualization Enabled Essel Propack To Rapidly Deploy And Shut Down Multiple Machines On Fewer Physical Servers, Reducing Hardware Procurement Costs And Providing An Infrastructure Optimized To Meet Business Demand
"Looking at the x86 platform, no-one except VMware had a good track record. Other players did not have proven technologies."
ETSA Utilities
VMware Infrastructure 3 With Failover And Seamless Virtual Machine Migration Functionality Reduced The Number Of Physical Servers Required And Ensured ETSA Utilities' Information Technology Staff Could Meet Business Requirements
"VMware offers a full infrastructure and this is critical to enabling an organization such as ours to implement virtualization with confidence."

A review of Emerson by Lawrence Buell
Ralph Waldo Emerson: The Making of a Democratic Intellectual by Peter S. Field
Emerson and Self-Reliance by George Kateb
Understanding Emerson: "The American Scholar" and His Struggle for Self-Reliance by Kenneth S. Sacks
Ralph Waldo Emerson was arguably America's first and perhaps most influential public or democratic intellectual. During his lifetime, he was one of the most popular lecturers and essayists in the United States and England; and although his reputation may not be as great today as it was during his lifetime and immediately following his death, there continues to be an enormous amount of interest in his life and thoughtPeter S. Field reports that no fewer than three biographies of Emerson have been published in the last decade alone. What accounts for this continuing interest? Although none of these books sets out to answer this question directly, each one suggests at least one reason why Emerson continues to be a beloved American icon by academics and the public alike.
Kenneth Sacks's Understanding Emerson is certainly the most narrowly focused of the four books and is therefore more likely to appeal primarily to Emerson scholars. Nonetheless, even for a more general audience, Sacks presents us with a lively, readable, and thorough account of the circumstances surrounding the composition and reception of Emerson's 1837 Harvard Phi Beta Kappa oration "The American Scholar." Averring that this oration is the "most celebrated academic talk in American history," Sacks offers a detailed description of the political, social, and religious climate of Boston and Harvard as well as many fine sketches of Emerson's friends and family, from Bronson Alcott to his aunt Mary Moody Emerson. The overall picture that emerges from Sacks's copiously documented account is of an Emerson who is rather unsure of himself on the eve of the orationindeed, as someone who is rather ashamed that he "continued to compromise his desire to express himself with complete candor" during his lyceum lectures the previous years. Emerson therefore finally summoned "the courage to defy tradition" and live up to his principles by directly challenging the very educational system in which he had been raised. This oration (coupled perhaps with his Harvard Divinity School address the following year) now begins to sound familiar Emersonian themes: the need to transform the university from producing future Boston Brahmins to cultivating unified and harmonious souls; to be liberated from (if not to reject outright) any books, cultures, or traditions that did not directly aid in the development of a student's inner voice or intuition; and to celebrate in literature the "rich potential of popular culture," or what Emerson called the literature of "the near, the low, the common." In short, "The American Scholar" was the "fountainhead of his engagement with humanity."
Peter S. Field's Emerson: The Making of a Democratic Intellectual is the closest of the four books we have to an intellectual biography, although his goal is not so "comprehensive;" instead, Field seeks to "distill the essence of his character and expose his singular impact upon nineteenth-century American culture" by focusing on key moments in his life. At the risk of oversimplifying, Field identifies four pivotal moments in his democratic intellectual development. First, Emerson ultimately rejected the elite Boston Brahmin establishment to which his father belonged and studiously cultivated as pastor of the influential First Congregational Church. Second, after his father's early death when he was eight years old, Emerson was first marked by the "genteel poverty" of his family and then by his education at Harvard (which he more often than not concluded was too rigid and uninspired). Third, although he finally decided to become a minister after all, he soon resigned from the pastorate of Boston's Second Church after three short years and more or less broke with what he saw as the staid formalism and social elitism of the Unitarians with his infamous Harvard Divinity School address. And finally, Emerson's vocation as a public lecturer at last provided him with an "egalitarian medium""a type of secular sermon"whereby he could address and emotionally connect with people directly, exhorting them throughout his career to actualize their untapped inner potential. But perhaps the highlight of the book is Field's even-handed account of Emerson and the politics of race, slavery, and abolitionism. Field cites three basic phases in the evolution of Emerson's thought: up until 1837, when he gave his first lecture on slavery, he was more or less indifferent to the issue; although he remained "largely mute on slavery" during the following decade, he began to question his earlier belief about the "intractable inferiority of Africans"; but after the Compromise of 1850 and the Fugitive Slave Law, "Emerson often joined the ranks of antislavery activists, at least in his own measured, prosaic way." What Field helps to bring out in relief in this Emerson's "single great foray into active politics" is his ambivalence toward it. "Dismissive of the American tendency to fetishize politics, Emerson unwaveringly urged his fellow citizens to redirect their energies more properly toward self-improvement and culture. The political apparatus of the state could only offer marginal help with what in the end proved to be a personal quest." Although it may be hard to believe today, America's first great democratic intellectual was one of the most unpolitical individuals there was.
Lawrence Buell's Emerson is an expansive and eclectic discussion which focuses on "key moments of Emerson's career and major facets of his thought," among which are his contributions to poetry and literature, religion, philosophy, social thought and reform, and what Buell calls "mentorship" (i.e., to what extent we can use Emerson as a mentor given the fact that he repeatedly urged individuals to "make free with history, books, traditions, sacred cows of all sorts," if these cultural authorities were not deemed useful in one's own self-actualization). There is much to recommend in this wide-ranging, evocative analysis. In the first place, Buell effectively discloses both the broad, general influence Emerson has had on so many other thinkers and movements (from Nietzsche to Pragmatism) as well as the wide range of writers and texts which influenced him (from the Swedish mystic Emanuel Swedenborg to the Bhagavad Gita). Part of Buell's effort here is to make plausible the claim that although Emerson was "the first public intellectual in the history of the United States," he was not crudely nationalistic or parochial but was indeed rather open and perhaps even multi-cultural both in his outlook and influence. Buell is also helpful in revealing important tensions in Emerson's thought, in particular those concerning religion and social activism. With respect to religion, Emerson claimed that there was an overarching soul or spirit that permeated humans and nature alike while at the same affirming that the only authentic expression of that immanent god was by and through each and every individual, with no one capable of laying down an authentic expression of this universal divine spirit for others. In respect to social activism, and especially abolitionism, Buell demonstrates how "Emerson had trouble deciding which was worse: to keep silent about practicalities while the world burned, or to intervene at the risk of falling into programmatic myopia to the detriment of a scholar's proper work." Ultimately, Buell (who takes his cue from a remark William James made about Emerson's religiosity) correctly sees that Emerson's "metaphysics," which oscillates between privileging the transpersonal and then the personal, or monism and then individualism, is reflected throughout his writings. "His philosophy of history sometimes boils down to the individual biographies of selected great men, sometimes to the emanation of a polymorphous universal mind. His social thought sometimes privileges acts of conscienceful self-assertion, sometimes transpersonal higher law or principle. His literary theory sets extremely high value on individual inspiration even as he remains convinced of inspiration's transpersonal character."
Originally published in 1995, George Kateb's Emerson and Self-Reliance has been reissued with a new preface (which explores the religious dimensions of Emerson's first and perhaps most difficult to read book, Nature). In one important sense, this is perhaps the most Emersonian of all the four books: just as Emerson encouraged his audience to make use of other authors and authorities as they saw fit, so Kateb appropriates him for his own purposes as well, showing us how Emersonian self-reliance is in fact a theory or vital component of "democratic individuality." Kateb distinguishes between what he calls "mental" and "active" self-reliance, and he argues that the only genuine form of independence comes through thinking rather than acting. Mental self-reliance is "the steady effort of thinking one's thoughts and thinking them through. It is intellectual independence, reactive and responsive self-possession." By seeing "life and the world with one's own eyes, with eyes cleansed of the effects of the group mind and institutional constrictions," we will be able to "perceive and pronounce beauty and hence to see and say what is truly there. The net effect is justice: to see the beauty that is present but often obscured, ignored, betrayed, or self-unclaimed." Kateb finishes his discussion of mental self-reliance with a fine exploration of the extent to which friendship and sexual love contribute to it or not. His conclusion: "Mental self-reliance begins and may very well end in solitude, but its point, which is love of the world, gathers indispensable help from the friendship in sexual love as well as the love in unsexual friendship." The final two chapters of the book examine the less elevated form of independence, active self-reliance, and in particular economic and political activity. Emerson favors "economic self-help" and gives qualified support to the pursuit of wealth as a "proper manifestation" of active self-reliance; "state socialism," by contrast, "is altogether incompatible with every aspect of Emerson's thought." But the highest form of active self-reliance is finding and doing one's vocation: that which one can uniquely do and/or do in one's own unique way becomes a vital expression of oneself. As for politics, Kateb comes to conclusions similar to, and perhaps even stronger than, those of Field and Buell: "Emerson would be an anarchist if he could."
Although Kateb generally makes a strong case for privileging mental over active self-reliance, it is somewhat puzzling why he desires to use Emerson as "the founder of the philosophy of democratic individualism": why turn to such a wholly unpolitical man, one who was at best ambivalent about politics and even associations, and who has no theory whatsoever of prudence or statesmanship? If the answer lies in the fact that Emerson celebrates the potential self-reliance of each and every soul, and thus elevates democratic citizens, then it is unclear why Kateb insists on wanting to eliminate from Emerson the very ground of that beliefnamely, his insistence that a universal mind or spirit pervades all human beings, and that all humans have access and can give expression to that spirit by hearkening to their own inner voice or genius. Kateb, however, seems troubled and even sometimes embarrassed by Emerson's religiosity, and he clearly wants to secularize him for a more modern democratic audience. But if one does this, then one wonders where the source for our unlimited potential would be located? One may disagree with Emerson's spiritualism; but if individuals are shorn of the divinity Emerson claimed was in us all, it seems exceedingly difficult to affirm that individuals could ever approach genuine mental or active self-reliance. This question notwithstanding, Kateb is to be applauded for trying to concretize the meaning of self-reliance as well as for working out its manifold implications in love and friendship, economics and politics.
Educational reformer, democratic intellectual, cosmopolitan individual and spiritualist, self-reliant sageas these books demonstrate, there seems to be something for everyone in Emerson's corpus. Let us conclude with this Tocquevillean-inspired question. Not only do these four books argue that Emerson was one of the first and most influential public intellectuals, they also strongly suggest that he was a healthy one for democracies as well. But is this so clear? Emerson's unique brand of individualism demands that we slough off any authority or institution (organized religion chief among them) that did not speak to the divine that is within us all; but in so doing, does he not leave us more naked and alone in the process, and therefore all the more susceptible to the tyranny of the majority? Would not this unmooring of the soul from tradition, custom, habit, religion, and associations leave most of us ever more dependent upon and susceptible to the crushing and numbing weight of mass opinion? Certainly these four fine books, all of which show great scholarship and learning, allow one to begin to meditate on this and other important questions by laying out what Emerson's unique legacy of individualism entailed.

Consternated that Apple won't let you install the new iMovie app on your original iPad 1 and wondering how to get around that restriction? Sure it doesn't have cameras, a fancy Apple A5 chip or 512MB of RAM but iPad 1 can still handle some light video editing so if that's what you've got and iMovie is what you want, stay with us after the break and we reckon to show you how to get it!
WARNING: It may not work on Windows, it may disappear the minute you sync again with iTunes, it could cause conflicts in syncing with iTunes requiring a restore, and could otherwise aim to misbehave. Unless you really need iMovie on your original iPad, you may want to avoid this an just get ReelDirector off the App Store.
If you want to load iMovie on your original iPad 1, here's what you have to do:
Can't stop the signal.
If you have any questions or any other iMovie tips, let us know in comments.
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to firstname.lastname@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward...)
This keeps getting reposted to various iPad websites. There are some problems with this hack.
First of all, it will NOT work with Windows systems.
Second, if you attempt to sync the iPad with iTunes after installing iMovie, iTunes will not let you sync without erasing iMovie from the device.
That's what I was going to say. Others on sites are saying you can install but there is a syncing error when iMovie is on iPad as in you will not be able to sync to iTunes. They are doing hard restate with no success. The only way to snyc is to totally delete the app from iPad. Hope this is not another rush job. Hope to be a jerk today but perhaps you have found that installing through the 3.2 utility alleviates this snyc error. Am I correct?
I get as far as #6 and the mobile applications does not have an arrow next to it. No way to choose imovie.
Well at least this proves it runs great on iPad 1, ... until you want to sync in iTunes. Apple is getting more aggressive on trying to encourage obsolescence. I mean really, let us with the less than 1 year old tech give you money to use it! Apple, please send my $5 back.
Is there a way to install iMovie on iOS 4.2.1 on an iPod touch 4th gen, cause I don't want to update to iOS 4.3 cause last time that I did it went kinda slow and it wasn't very responsive
Any suggestions
I'm sure there will be a jaibreak way to make iMovie runs on iPad 1 normally. It's only the matter of time.
I played around with this some more and was able to get to the part where you click to install the imovie but would not work.
I have the ipad 1 with 3g using windows 7 computer.
It also not working for me on Window 7 either. An error dialog popped up shows "Could not install application on device.Error:kAMDReceiveMessageError" after I clicked the INSTALL button.
I used these instructions to install iMovie on my original iPad 1. It worked perfectly but the problem occurs when I later sync to iTunes. I don't have to sync with iTunes often but I like to do it from time to time since it backs up my iPad.
When I connect to iTunes I get a message that says:
This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPad "*****". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store?
If you do not authorize this computer the app 'iMovie" and its data will be deleted from this iPad.
I have the option to cancel don't authorize or authorize. If I don't authorize iMovie is removed but if I select authorize it gives me the iTunes login screen with my Apple ID filled in and I just have to enter my Password which I do. When I do that I get the message:
This computer is already authorized.
Including this one, you have authorized 2 computers out of your available 5. I select ok.
Then it becomes a loop. I go back to the screen that says my computer is no longer authorized for apps installed on the iPad, etc.
I have iTunes on two mac computers but both are under my one AppleID and both my iPhone 3G and iPad use this same AppleID so I don't think it's an issue with two accounts. I do my purchases through my iPad but in this case did it through the iTunes store but in both cases as far as I know it's the same AppleID.
I finally at a later date simply selected to not authorize and sure enough as it stated it removed iMovie from my iPad and also my iTunes. I was able to download it again for free from the iTunes store though.
I finally simply selected Cancel and it appears that worked. I have tried syncing it a 2nd time also and it still backs up the iPad as soon as I plug it in. From time to time though I sync music or iTunes U files. It appears once I select cancel it basically cancels the sync at the app part before it gets to files such as music, video, photos, and iTunes U. It appears as long as I want to only do a backup of the iPad this way is fine but if I want to change/sync any files such as music, iTunes U, photos, podcasts, movies, etc. I can't do this and have no choice by to authorize, lose iMovie, then redownload imovie to iTunes for free, and then use the iPhone Configuration Utility to add it again.
I just want to find out if what I'm experiencing is normal and if there is a way to add iMovie to the original iPad and not experience this problem everytime I sync to iTunes. I know the easy answer is to buy that new 32GB iPad 2 I'm holding off for the iPad 3 though. With just 3.8GB free on a 16GB iPad though I hope the space lasts for another year.
Does this work with iMovie 1.3 (the trailer update), and iPhoto for iPad? I am pretty much stuck with an original iPad for now,,,
Just used this guide to load iPhoto onto my original iPad 1 and it works perfectly! Thanks so much!!
Question before I buy it, does movie trailers still work on iPad one if you downloaded it with this method?
