Nathan Massey shared an idea in Apple on October 14, 2009 21:47:
Apple should create a 'Migration Assistant' application for Windows.When you buy a new Mac, and need to get all your data from your old machine onto your new one, if you're old machine is also a Mac, you can fire up Migration Assistant and everything is done for you.
It would be really useful if Apple created a Windows version of Migration Assistant that a user could install on their old PC to transfer their data (iTunes media, emails, bookmarks, contacts, photos, documents etc) onto their new Mac.-

Apple should add support for Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Facebook Chat to iChat.iChat is a fantastic IM client, but it would be even better if it supported a wider array of networks. Adding support for Live Messenger would be great for users new to the Mac who are switching from Windows, but it would also be good to see support for Yahoo and Facebook added too. -

TTV should paginate pages starting on page 1.I'm not sure why, but when you look at areas on TTV, where results are paginated over several pages, the pages start on page 0. Is there any reason for this, surely the first page should be page 1?
For example, look at the 'Your Programme List' section. -

Add a 'mark all as seen' button to series pages.I like the way that when I go onto my favourites page on TTV, it starts by showing me just the programmes that have episodes that I haven't watched yet. The problem is that if I add a new favourite programme where i've seen all the previous episodes before, I have to go an mark each individual episodes as seen. If there was a 'mark all as seen' button at the top of the page, it would make this process a lot quicker and easier. -
Nathan Massey shared an idea in Spotify on October 08, 2009 09:23:
Make Spotify for OS X 64-bit.Since installing Snow Leopard on my Mac, there are now only a handful of applications that don't run in 64-bit mode, one of which is Spotify.
If Spotify could release a 64-bit version of their OS X app, that would be awesome. -
Nathan Massey gave praise in The Carphone Warehouse on October 06, 2009 11:12:
Very pleased with hands-free kit installation!I've just had an iO Play handsfree car kit installed by one of the engineers from ConnectMyCar (http://connectmycar.com/), a division of Carphone Warehouse, and just wanted to say how pleased I am with both the kit, and the service.
I ordered the kit this time last week, so it didn't take very long for it to arrive and get it installed. The installation itself only took about an hour, which was all done at my home address, at a time that I specified.
The only problem I had was that because the ConnectMyCar website doesn't support the 'online-PIN' systems from VISA, I had to call my bank to authorise the payment, but apart from that, everything was fantastic.
Keep up the good work CPW! -
Nathan Massey shared an idea in Tom Tom on October 06, 2009 10:50:
TomTom for iPhone app should fade your music in and out when announcing instructions.One thing that really annoys me about the TomTom for iPhone app, is that it just cuts off your music whenever it needs to announce any instructions.
It would be a lot better if either, the music faded out before the instructions, and faded back up again afterwords, or if some kind of 'ducking' was done to reduce to volume of your music while instructions are being made.
Just having the music cut off abruptly every few minutes is a real annoyance. -
Nathan Massey reported a problem in Tom Tom on October 06, 2009 10:45:
TomTom for iPhone audio instructions get cut off by iPod music.I'm running into a problem with the TomTom for iPhone app where if i'm listening to my music on my iPhone in the background while running the TomTom app, whenever the TomTom app mutes the music to say it's instructions, it is always cut off about a second before the end of the instructions by the music coming back in again.
For example, you'll be listening to your music, then it stops, the TomTom app starts talking, "At the next exit, take the roundabout sec..." and then the music kicks back in. It cuts off "...ond exit."
Obviously this is a big issue, as generally the last few words in the instructions are the ones telling you where to go. -
Nathan Massey replied on October 06, 2009 08:14 to the idea "Apple should put a SD card reader on all new Mac's, and provide recovery media and manuals on a SD card." in Apple:
It may also be worth looking at putting the recovery media and manuals on a small USB memory stick instead, as this would work on all Macs made in the last few years.
Apple could produce their software (iWork, iLife etc) this way too as having it on a USB stick would allow further reduction in the size of retail packaging, and faster installation times. -

Apple should put a SD card reader on all new Mac's, and provide recovery media and manuals on a SD card.I think it would be great if Apple added a SD card reader to every Mac in their product line (13" and 15" MacBook Pro's already have it), so that the Mac's recovery media, traditionally provided on a CD, can be provided on a SD card instead.
This would have a number of benefits,
1. It would reduce the size of the computer packaging as SD cards are a lot smaller than CD's.
2. If Apple also put the Mac's manuals and other printed materials on the SD card as a PDF, you would eliminate the need for providing unnecessary paper, reducing the Macs environmental impact.
3. By switching to using SD cards instead of CD's, Apple could get rid of the CD drive in each Mac, which means that products like the MacBook (Pro) could get even slimmer/lighter with even greater battery life. Apple could alter that MacBook Air SuperDrive to work on any Mac for those people who still need to use CD's. -

Also, I think it would be better if you got a email for each new episode, as soon as it is available, rather than the kind of 'daily digest' email you get now. -

TTV should provide more episode details on 'new episode' alert emails.I'm using the beta 'new episode alert' feature that sends you an email whenever a new episode of one of your favourite shows becomes available to watch.
The email you get basically just says, a new episode of 'programme name' is available, with a link to that programmes page on TTV.
It would be good if details of the new episode was included on the email, along with a preview picture of that episode. For example,
Subject: A new episode of Top Gear is available.
Top Gear: Series 13 - Episode 1
Broadcast on: BBC2 - 8:00pm Sunday 22nd November 2009
Available until: 7:59pm Saturday 29th November 2009
Duration: 60 minutes
Description:
An improbable race can only mean one thing: Top Gear is back. This race is from King's Cross station in London, to the bar of the Balmoral hotel in Edinburgh using three different modes of transport. Jeremy will travel on the Peppercorn A1, a modern replica built to the exact specifications of the original Peppercorn A1; James drives the exquisite Jaguar XK120 and Richard rides the Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle. On the track, Jeremy drives the Lotus Evora and the Stig drives the Ferrari FXX. -

A similar problem with 8 out of 10 Cats too, only series 6 is showing up on TTV, series 5 and 8 are on 4oD.
Also of note is that on TTV, it doesn't list the series/episode details for episode 5 of series 6, it just says '8 out of 10 Cats'.

TTV is now showing most of the Peep Show episodes as available, but there's still a few missing that are definitely available to watch on 4oD.
- all of series 5.
- series 4, episode 1 -
Nathan Massey shared an idea in Ford on October 01, 2009 15:24:
Ford should create a iPhone dock connector accessory that lets you unlock your car using your iPhone.One thing I like about the new Ford Fiesta, is the Key-Free System and Power Starter Button (http://www.ford.co.uk/FordInnovation/...). These two features mean that you no longer need a key to access and start your car, but you still have to carry around a keyfob to lock/unlock the doors and boot.
Wouldn't it be great if you could leave the keyfob at home and use your iPhone instead? What if Ford were to create a iPhone app which had a picture of a keyfob on it, but when your tap on the buttons on the keyfob, it actually unlocks/lock your car remotely, using a small transmitter accessory that plugs into the 30-pin dock connector on the bottom of your iPhone.
See this video from ZipCar for a better idea of how the iPhone app would work (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkzOtE...).
You could even launch this for older Ford cars that have remote central locking for novelty value (i'd buy one!) but those customers would still need to carry around their keys to start the engine. -
Nathan Massey asked a question in O2 on October 01, 2009 10:19:
Is it possible to divert SMS messages sent to one phone number to a different number?I've just started a new job and as my employer has given me a iPhone + contract to use, i'm now in the situation where I have two iPhones.
What I would like to do is set all my calls and SMS messages that are sent to my old number, diverted to my work number. That way I only have to carry around 1 iPhone.
I've managed to setup call diversion so that calls are diverted to my new number, but can't work out how to do the same for SMS messages.
