Can I use Magic Jack for BOTH phone calls and Fax. Is Magic jack PLUS BETTER.

I am using the Magic Jack for regular phone calls. Now, I want to use it for Faxing in and out - on Windows - on a wireless connection to my Officejet 8600 Pro Plus. I see a lot of problems in the forum. Is it easier to buy and use the new Magi Jack PRO. AND. PLEASE, Does anyone have instructions for the installation and use?

I'm going to be up front and straight forward with you.  Magic Jack, does not work with faxing 90% of the time.  It's not designed to.  That being said, you still have to have a phone line plugged into the printer to fax.  There is no such thing as wireless faxing.  There is internet faxing, through companies such as eFax, and you can use eFax wirelessly form the front panel of select printers.  The 8600 is not one of those printers though.  The printers that include the eFax app are in the PhotoSmart line.  Now that you know all of that, you can try to get faxing to work with magic jack, but it' most likely not going to work.  Here is a list of the things you can try:
Fist make sure you have a DSL/Digital filter installed in the line.  Next, set the fax speed to slow.  You can find steps in this document that will help with that.  Last make sure the ECM (Error Correction Mode) is off.  To turn off the ECM:
From the home screen, touch the right arrow.
Touch setup.
Touch fax setup.
Touch advanced fax setup.
Scroll down to ECM.
Touch ECM.
Touch off.
Touch the home button.
That's about all you can do to get it to work, and even then it's not guaranteed at all.  Like I said, Magic Jack does not work with faxing.

    You will not want to do that and you should just have two 5GB free accounts.

    You can use the same Apple ID for both phones, you would then be able to use the purchased Apps/Content on both phones without having to pay again.

    Can i use time capsule for external h drive and also for time machine?

    Hello, vascocaco.
    If I understand correctly, you're wondering if you can use your Time Capsule's internal hard disk both for Time Machine backups and as an ordinary drive. Is this your question?
    You can, but Time Machine backups may take longer.
    To do it, you should partition your Time Capsule's hard disk to create one volume for the backups and one for other files.

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

  • Can I use my iPod with BOTH a Mac and PC???

    Might be an odd question and forgive me if it is an obvious answer. I just got a 30 gigger and connnected it up and charged it with my Mac mini at home last night. I have lots of music on my iTunes on my home Mac mini and I have some music on my work Dell Laptop(with iTunes). What would be the best way to sync up my two iTunes libraries (one on my Mac, the other on the Dell lapper) to the iPod, or is it even possible to use it interchangeably with both the Mac and PC??

    Yes, you can.
    Read through the following article, and make sure your iPod is Windows-formatted using the iPod Updater utility on Windows.

  • I have FaceTime on my macbook pro but want to add it to my Mac pro.  Since I've already purchased the app, it won't allow me to purchase it again.  Can I use the app for both computers?  How can I access FaceTime for this computer v. 10.6.8?

    I have FaceTime on my Macbook Pro but want to add it to my Mac Pro v. 10.6.8.  Since I've previously purchased it in the app store, it won't allow me to purchase it again.  Can I use the same app for both of my computers?  If so, how do I access the app to download it?

    If you upgrade to Lion it comes bundeled with it!
    To get it on your Mac Pro just copy the aplication from the aplication folder on your MacBook.  You can do this via a thumb drive or over a local network connection.

  • Any idea how you can safely use ONE computer for BOTH work and internet?

    I'm planning to set up a small music project studio, built around a powerbook, that I will be sharing with a friend of mine. My friend is going to use the computer for music AND heavy internet use, but I will only use it for music work (off-line).
    The thing is then that I am slightly worried about viruses, worms, spyware and similar unwanted stuff 'sneaking in' when the laptop is online. Even with firewall and anti-virus I guess there is always a risk.
    Any idea if there is a way of keeping things completely separate?
    How about if I had a bootable external hard drive for my work, with the Mac OS system on. Then when I'm working I could boot up from that drive (and use the computer off-line).
    Maybe we could even remove the internal hard drive from the powerbook (?), and use the powerbook with two external hard drives instead: One bootable drive for me and another bootable drive for my studio partner (and then only connect one hard drive at the time).
    Any idea if this would work well..? (I'm not sure if i.e. a virus could sneak in anyway, through the PRAM, L2 cache or the RAM or something similar) Or does anyone have any other suggestions...? Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks!

    Not too much worry with Macs, but get an Ethernet Router, skip Wireless, use strong Passwords.
    How about if I had a bootable external hard drive for my work, with the Mac OS system on. Then when I'm working I could boot up from that drive (and use the computer off-line).
    Excellent idea, especially if the heavy Net user doesn't have Admin rights.
    One bootable drive for me and another bootable drive for my studio partner (and then only connect one hard drive at the time).
    Just about foolproof! Just need 2 more drives for backup. Not sure why you'd want to remove the internal HD though.
    No Viruses yet in OSX land, in fact the only Malware I know about requires you to install it for itself!
    You'll be OK, that separate drives idea is pure genius.:-)

  • Can't used my iPad to make phone calls with 8.0.2

    I can't get my iPad to make calls or answer texts through my iPhone. Same network, bluetooth on both devices, same FaceTime account. I can't find wifi calling on my phone to turn it off. Handoff is working just fine with safari

    Hello jllieblein,
    Wi-Fi calling is only available on T-Mobile. The setting can be found in Settings -> Phone, should you have T-Mobile. Otherwise, Wi-Fi calling is off.

  • Use external drive for both Time Machine and storage for Back to My Mac

    Hi all,
    I have been "a Mac" now for over a year and just keep finding cool new things that make me happy I switched. The latest thing is Back to My Mac offered with my Mobile Me account. With a rather convoluted mix of PC/Mac/iOS devices to manage - best $99 I ever spent btw...
    I also have a 1TB Time Capsule that I have been using with Time Machine to back up all four of my Mac computers at home. Needless to say, the 1TB is really struggling to handle the amount of data being backed up and certainly leaves no room for anything else.
    What I wanted to do was to attach a larger external hard drive via a powered hub to the USB port on the Time Capsule and use it for Time Machine backups while using the internal 1TB drive with Back to My Mac so that I can have remote access to all my data from anywhere without having to leave my computer running at home all the time in order for my laptop to "see" it when I'm away. And, yes, the amount of that data far exceeds what any level of Mobile Me subscription can offer! I should also mention that the hard drive is the only USB device connected through the hub to the Time Capsule at the moment. There are no other devices that might be "getting in the way".
    I'm thinking maybe all this is asking too much without the addition of a dedicated file server (Mac Mini, perhaps - not a purchase my budget wants to make).
    I understand that the Time Capsule doesn't support partitions, so I bought a Western Digital 2TB Elements drive, connected it to my Macbook Pro and used Disk Utility to reformat the drive from the incompatible NTFS it shipped in to a single, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition. I then made two folders on the drive, one for Time Machine backups and one for Back to My Mac remote storage/access. Great.
    However, when I connected the 2TB drive to my Time Capsule I could not see it at all. Time Capsule was reporting problems in the way of a disk error. From within my Airport Utility, I could see the trouble was the external drive. The utility suggested connecting the drive to a Mac and using it's Disk Utility to troubleshoot.
    I followed through, checking the disk, etc. and ended up reformatted the drive on my Macbook Pro yet again with the same specifications as before but without the folders and reconnected it to the Time Capsule. Same deal. But now, I can't even remotely connect to the Time Capsule at all. I can see the Time Capsule in the shared area of my Macbook's Finder but can not connect. The connection tries and fails even before it gets to asking me for username and password credentials.
    Long story short, first of all, I suppose I would like to know if I'm asking for the impossible?
    Second, if what I want to do *is* possible, what steps do I need to take to make it so?
    Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions you might have.

    Well, I have now reformatted/partitioned my poor WD Elements 2TB drive about a dozen times as well as restarted my 1TB Time Capsule so many times it's no wonder it's as confused as I am! <G>
    Last night, at your suggestion, William, and in respect for your continued support, I tried creating two 1TB Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partitions on the WD external USB drive, both with GUID partition tables. Both volumes mounted to my laptop's desktop flawlessly and without issue.
    Once the external drive was connected to the Time Capsule, however, it was a crap shoot as to whether or not the drive was recognized at all, reporting a problem with the disk, or, even at one point, mounting one of the two volumes but not both. <sigh>
    I read somewhere on the Internet that you need to restart the Time Capsule for volumes on an external USB drive to be recognized.
    So I tried that. I connected the freshly partitioned/formatted disk to the Time Capsule and restarted it. This succeed in removing the issue of reporting a nameless drive with a capacity of 0MB. It then reported the drive with its correct name but would not recognize whatever volumes in whatever partitions that particular crack at it contained with the exception of the once, as I mentioned above, when only one of two volumes mounted correctly and was listed with the right name and capacity on the Time Capusule's Setup's Disk tab.
    At this point I have given up on my goal to use the external drive with Time Machine to back up my Macs or to hope I will ever be able to see its contents remotely via Back to My Mac. All I would like to do now is simply find a reason why I can't get it successfully connected and playing nice with my Time Capsule in the first place!
    Any further suggestions or advice as to what steps I might take next would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you all.

  • Using project libraries for both web-based and AIR applications

    I need to develop substantial code to build both web-based and AIR applications.  Yes, they will have different features, especially when it comes to accessing files on the local file system.
    However, 98% of the code can be shared.
    I want to use a project library that can be used for both types of applications. Maybe using conditional compile when required to not use AIR API's in a web-based application.
    I found this (somewhat old) warning:
    Include Adobe AIR libraries Select this option if your library must use AIR features, such as access to the AIR APIs. Flex Builder then changes the library path of this new Flex Library project so that it includes airglobal.swc and airframework.swc. Web-based Flex projects cannot use this library.
    Do not select this option if you are writing a generic library intended to be used only in a web-based Flex application, or in either a web-based or AIR-based application.
    Does this apply to Flash Builder 4.5?

    I have found a workaround, but it's quite clumsy, involving a transfer vector (in old-fashioned terms) in the main application for each function in the AIR library.
    I have created a library for AIR classes only (fourdtext.fileOperations is there). 
    The AIR application provides "Function" values that any other code in the general-purpose libraries can use.
    It works, but it's nasty.
    In Main.mxml:
    import com.fourdtext.fileOperations.AxFiles;
    // this gets a list of native path strings, from and array of "File" objects
    public var AxGetListFunction:Function = AxGetListRedirect;
    private function AxGetListRedirect(list:Array):Vector.<String>{
        return AxFiles.AxGetList(list);
    In general-purpose code:
    var list:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("air:file list") as Array;
    var AxGetList:Function = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.AxGetListFunction;
    listFiles = AxGetList(list);

  • How can I use a variable for an interface log and error fle

    I want to use a variable for the interface's log and error file so that when I migrate from Dev to QA to Prod I don't have to do a lot of editing.
    Specifically on the "flow" tab for the "target", I want a variable to be the first part of the path for the log (\\sundev1\fnd1-hypd1) and join this with the rest (\update\log\logfile.log) within the LOG_FILE_NAME field.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    It is quite simple....
    just use the <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("D")%> before the file name and configure both path in the topology linked to each context.
