i want to buy an ipad, but i was wondering if there is a way to use my blackberry internet with the ipad
Google can be your friend. Watch this YouTube video as it appears you can tether a Blackberry to an iPad.

I would like to get rid of firefox 8 and go back to firefox 7 and I don't know how. P.S. for a firefox 7 for windows desktop.
Firefox is a web browser like Safari, it doesn't do photo editing.

When i try and connect my iphone to it it using the airport utility device it says "This airport base station is not supported by this utility" And when i try and find it in my wifi it dosent even show up?! i have it pluged into speakers and want to use it for the airplay! Thank you!
Your iPhone should be able to use its wireless network without any difficulty, but AirPlay requires Firmware 7.4.2 or later. If yours can be updated AirPort Utility will let you know.
If your iPhone does not detect its wireless network then try resetting your iPhone's network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Confirm the dialog, let the iPhone restart, then reconnect to your preferred network(s) in Settings > Wi-Fi. -
I have an iPod touch that was given to me, so I don't know much about it. This is the first Apple product I've owned. The specs say it's an iOS 6.1.5
(Model# MC540LL/A) The iPod guide mentions Siri, but I can't find it in the Settings. Should I assume Siri isn't available on this model?
Also, can you tell me how old this iPod is, from the model #?it could be a 4th gen or lower, if the camera dosent stick out, then its a 4g,
however, it could be a 5g (the only model to have siri) it might of been disabled, to enable siri, you have to reset your ipod touch, then when it a says, use siri? tap use siri.
also if you mesure the screen and it is 3.5 inches then it is a 4g or lower and does not have siri. but the 4g has voice control and its offline, and siri cant be used offline.
i hope this helps. -
I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?
The simplest method is to run a defaults command on the client Macs (easily pushed via Apple Remote Desktop):
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL 'HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG'
for a user. If you run it via sudo it will set it for whenever you use softwareupdate as root.
The HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG has been changed with Mac OS X 10.6. If you use MCX it will automatically pick the new catalog – however if doing it manually the following URLs need to be used for whichever client version is in question:
Mac OS X 10.4: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.5: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.6: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.7: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.8: index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
To double check this applied you can run the following command:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
and /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
to see what settings are for the computer and user appropriately.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
MCX
Another alternative is to use Workgroup Manager to manage the preferences via MCX from your server. This can be done for users, or for computers if they are bound to your Open Directory.
If you are using 10.5 Server or newer: you can simply use the Software Update section under Preferences.
Manually:
Choose the accounts, computers, or groups to have the preference applied to.
Click on Preferences, and then the Details tab
Press the Add… button and navigate to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Press Edit…
Under Often, add a New Key and enter the name CatalogURL
Make sure the type is string and then enter your SUS URL (eg. http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog or if using 10.6: http://mysus.examle.com:8088/ – see above from the defaults section)
Press Apply Now, then Done. Once users/computers have refreshed their MCX settings (usually the next login or restart) the new settings will take over.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
In order to have a system-wide configuration one has to run the following:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index.sucatalog"
In order to correctly work both on Leopard and Snow Leopard the right command to issue is:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
Happily used and tested on my network
The DNS trick that Chealion points out is fantastic. I use it at our office, and every computer on our LAN will automatically pull the updates from the local repository at high speed without any configuration.
Create the swscan.apple.com DNS zone on your internal DNS server, and have it resolve via an A record to your Mac

I don't know much about computers, so please be patient. I started using Airport and I recently noticed a "network" option right below "Macintosh HD". When I click on "network" it shows "b67446000000" with a computer monitor icon and "connection failed". When I right click on this and select "Get more info" it displays nothing, just the spinning wheel. When I select "Connect As" it asked for my password to connect to "Server b67446000000". This may have been on my computer since I got it, I never paid much attention. Is this part of the operating system or has someone hijacked my computer? Why would I need a server...it's just me and my one computer? Maybe someone has hacked in through Airport? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Is your airport a Time Capsule.. if so it is able to serve files on the network.
The number is the MAC address of the network in the router.
Please reset the apple router whatever is and redo the setup.. this time give it a simple name.. eg TCgenX where X is the actual gen of the unit and give it a simple wireless name.. TCwifi and a simple password with 8-20 characters mix of upper and lower case and numbers.
Perhaps even better give me a screenshot from the computer of the airport utility showing me the Airport with its MAC address. -
At some point yesterday all of my saved clips from a large project adopted the "Rejected" classification and lost the "Favorite" designation that I spent the better part of one week selecting. I have no idea how this happened, I surely did not intentionally designate all my shots as Rejects, but I'm wondering if there is any way to remove the Reject designation and recover my "Favorites"? Not that it helps, but it certainly seems there should be a warning message before FCP X does something so radical. Anyone know how can I can fix this? Thanks
Do you use Time Machine? You should be able to just go back in time on the project file, right? If you don't use Time Machine, you should. A 2 TB external USB hard drive is around $113 at Amazon.com. You just plug it in and tell Time Machine to use it and you're done.
You can Select All in the Event and then click ont he grey star next to the green star to remove the Rejected status on all clips, but that won't restore your Favorites. You need to revert your project file to a backup. -
I download quite a few magazines through the app store on my iPad. I just bought an iMac and was wondering if there is a way to transfer those purchases over so that I could read them on my Mac?
You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac". -
I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.
The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

I am looking for a bluetooth portable wireless headphone set to use with my new macbook pro non retna. I want someing i can listen to movies, youtube, games(eve online) and other media.
I do not know much about wireless headphones and i know nothing about the Macbook, my first ever apple product.I perfer to get something low profile like the LG HBS-700. I do not neccesarily require a in ear style headset. I also perfer sound isulating over noise canceling.
I am willing to invest in a quality product. I do not know what is compatable with mac though so please help.
I am ordering the macbook this weekend and would like to be enjoying my music and movies right away.
thank you for your help.I have a Motorola Bluetooth headset with microphone that I got from Amazon - here. Nothing fancy - definitely not audiophile quality - but small and portable and they hold a charge really well.
Take a look at them and see if they will fit your needs. Price is right.

cannot figure out how to sync the new music I have purchased from itunes store to my ipod my new computer has windows 8 I can see the music in my library but no task pane appears to the left so I can sync music I do not know too much about computers so can anyone help me?
In the latest version of iTunes, the sidebar (on the left side) may be hidden. To show it, go up to the menu bar, under View, and select Show Sidebar.
The iPod can be loaded manually (by dragging items to it from the iTunes library), or using automatic syncing (by setting up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes). After making the sidebar visible, if you have questions about using automatic syncing or the manual method to load the iPod, please post back. -
I recently switched to a macbook pro from a pc, and am curious what type of (if any) virus protection or spyware protection to use for it. I keep getting a message to Install MacKeeper 2012; but am not sure if it's worth paying for or not. I'd like some advice on what would be the best protection for my computer. Also, I recently had the new microsoft office installed; which has been having issues freezing up quite often when I use it. I don't know if clenaing my mac would help with the Microsoft office stuff, or not (or even if that would be related)...also each time I restart my computer; all windows applications open (word, power point, excel & outlook). obviously I'm not very tech savvy to begin with so any advice would help! I'm hoping this computer will last me thru the next 4 years of grad school & just want to make sure this computer is well taken care of to last that long. Thanks!
