Looking for recommendations for iMac support for senior citizens in their home in Sunset Hills, Missouri

I am looking for someone to help my parents with using their iMac in their home in Sunset Hill, Missouri ( St Louis County).

http://www.apple.com/buy lists authorized service centers 1-800-APLCARE offers free 90 dsy support for new hardware after purchase, which can be extended with the 3 year Applecare plan at http://www.apple.com/support Many usergroups offer local unauthorized support through http://www.apple.com/usergroups and so do many colleges and universities have unlisted groups. Or they can come to this forum once they know what they need support with and post through this link https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463

  • I just purchased a new iMac to replace our older one We are giving our older one to parents and want to wipe the HD. The discs I have for my old iMac is for version 10.5 but I have 10.6.8 currently. Is there a way to wipe the HD and keep 10.6.8?

    No. Wiping the HD will erase the OS on it.

  • Looking for recommendations - new internal drive for MBP

    Hi all,
    I have a 17" MBP core 2 duo from a couple of years ago, with a 100GB 7200rpm drive. I want to swap out the drive with a new 500GB drive, still 7200rpm, so I'm looking for recommendations as to what people think are the current best of the crop. Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Antonio

    I was looking for a 500GB 7200RPM drive for my MBP 15" at the end of 2008, but no one made one yet. I saw the Seagate ST9500420ASG 500GB 7200RPM 16MB BUFFER SERIAL ATA listed as coming soon on MacMall and a few other places in January 2009 and ordered it as soon as it was available.
    I had done some research on power consumption and performance... Tom's Hardware had some good info on the subject. The fastest drives at the time were the 320GB 7200 RPM and 500GB 5400 RPM. If the trends I came across during my research held up, power consumption for the new Seagate shouldn't have affected my battery life too much. All my research seemed to confirm this.
    Now that I have been using the drive for a few months, I can tell you that my batter life has taken a HUGE hit. I used to easily get 5 hours with my old 120 GB stock drive... now, I'm lucky if I get 2 hours. Plus, it seems that this drive gets hot enough to cause performance issues.. I'm not sure if that's the case yet, but I will be bringing my MBP into the Apple store to check on it.
    At this point, I'm willing to sacrifice some speed for more battery life and a cooler running computer.
    All this to say, be sure you're willing to sacrifice some battery life for the biggest and fastest drive around.

    Jonathan,
    Contact BEA sales, I believe that version 7.0 supports the seamless
    replacement of security providers and that several major security vendors
    have developed providers that are or will shortly be commercially available.

    First off, this may seem redundant.
    Our company is looking for security products that can be used to
    secure the Weblogic Application server. We are currently upgrading
    from 5.1 to 7.0 and left to my own devices I would use the Security
    that is built into weblogic.
    However in order to do the due diligence I need to provide other
    options i.e. get a product that can be configured to provide security
    for the Application server. An additional nice to have feature would
    be security for resources outside of Weblogic.
    My primary request is for any websites that give a comparison of
    such tools. but if anyone has experience using a security tool with
    weblogic, it would be great to hear this. If anyone has used an
    external LDAP server with Weblogic 7.0 that would be interesting also.

  • Snes emulator for mountain lion with support for usb controller dongle

    Hi,
    I recently downloaded an snes emulator online and found that it does run the super nintendo game fine though it doesn't have support for the usb dongle for the controller. By any chance does anyone know a emular plug in or emulator for mountain lion that has this support for a usb joystick.

    Thanks for the reply. Still curious if Apple did right by their customers as the support rep implied that they would. I can't confirm either because I discovered tonight that I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion yet until Mariner Software decides to make one of their products compatible with 10.8.  Starting to think I need to find an alternative to their product.

  • Looking for recommendations on training books for PS CS3

    I'm not complete newbie to Photoshop, but I know there is so much more I could get out of it.... so I'm looking for a good tutorial book. One that isn't going to cost me an arm & a leg.
    Thanks!

    Michael,
    No book will have solutions to all problems. Even the Web will come up short sometimes. That's what this forum is about.
    I'd start with the manual, then spend some time with the Help files (F1). Yeah, the manual doesn't read like Faulkner, but it's not bad and has the solution to many, many problems. It does rely too heavily, nowadays, on "(see Help files)," but ink and paper have gotten more expensive.
    Next, as someone else suggested, "Classroom in a Book," and work through it all, even the stuff you think you'll never need. You will pick up other knowledge, as you do those exercises.
    At that point, decide what you want to do with Photoshop. That will narrow your book/training down to specific areas, like "Photoshop for Photographers," "Photoshop for Video," etc.
    If you hit a problem, that you cannot solve with the manual, F1, "CiaB," Google and a search of this forum, please post your specific question.

  • Looking for recommendation on graphics card for MSI H67MA-E45 board

    This board doesnt have an adjacent psi-e slot, so any card that requires that is out right ?
    So the HD 5770 is out ?
    Any suggestions ,looking for something at least as good as a GTS 250.But not looking to break my budget either.Would like ,but dont need dx 11support
    Thanks for any help .

    Some of these cards list as- Required Peripheral / Interface Device- CD-ROM, adjacent PCI slot...
    So all that means is it needs the space an extra slot would take up ,not the actual slot ?Thats seems a very confusing way to say that.

  • TS1717 I foolishly downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now it won't run.  I get a message stating that MSVCR.dll is missing and an error message saying error 7 (Windows error 126).  Click on the support link for iPod + iTunes - no support for iTun

    Why won't the latest version of iTunes run?  I've downloaded it twice.  Come to that, why isn't iTunes an option in the product list on this site?  Apple did make that, didn't they?

    Hey Jim Tracy!

  • No support for fuji x, no support for dp merrills, no nikon d7100 ( probably to early)

    I am really wondering if Apple will end develop aperture in the future. Adobe is so much faster and recently also capture one has overtaken aperture in terms of raw support.
    a kingdom for a good support of foveon files.

    Tell Apple directly - Apple is not listening here - the feedback form is a better way (http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html).

  • Firmware fix for ATI 4850 iMacs works for me! (early 2009 iMacs)

    I have been chronicling my ATI/iMac freezes on my blog for a while and almost returned my mac. But, it has been 24 hours now since I patched with the new EFI firmware and I have not had even one freeze/crash under boot camp or OSX. I have played fallout 3, WoW, Aperture 2, iPhoto, huge JungleDisk back up to Amazon (50GB) and it rocks.

    I keep this blog up to date with what is going on with my EFI fixes:

  • Play for sure / subscription services support for MuVo v

    When or rather can we expect a firmware update that will allow MuVo V00 to accept DMR (DRM) subscription services? It currently doesn't support these services. Message Edited by reyn3000 on -28-20062:2 PM

    Just an update, transfer is still goin good, so all of you that are having those hangs and slow downs this 3 hot fixes posted in this forum under the MTP Thread seem to work for me. However, being a Regional IT Manager I know that what works for one computer doesnt always apply. I remember seeing the IMPORTANT Note just before I downloaded the firmware and I thought, naw... I dont need any updates, I do my Microsoft Updates so im cool, but the hotfixes mentioned are not CRITICAL updates so you have to manually apply them. In my opinion this is not really a Creative issue since they are depending on the files from the Play For Sure protocal and those are coming from Microsoft, so they have to kind of rely on whats out there and unfortunately for us poor *******s to update. I am wondering if they can include the hotfixes in their install? SOmething that would detect to see if the hotfix is present and if not, install? Just a thought, or at least prompt you to go get the hotfix first then install.

  • Wish Item for 1.0.x - support for PS plugins

    I don't think of Aperture as a PS replacement but it would be really cool to be able to use stuff like Convert to BW Pro from within Aperture. Some kind of plugin API would do it. Obviously some things would not fly like PhotoKit as it uses layers etc but some smart engineer might be able to do something similar.

    If you think about it, each of the Aperture adjustments are really operating in thier own layer, all the time - all Aperture does is layers. So that part is not a problem.
    What is more of an issue is re-writing Photoshop filters to be filters that behave OK in the real-time editing that Aperture does. Some Photoshop filters we have today can take a while to churn through an image, which would not fly as you drag adjustment parameters to and fro.
    I do think we'll see an API eventually, probably sometime in the 1.X series of updates (don't think that would wait for 2.X).

  • Update does not include RAW support for Sony DSC-R1

    Looks like there is no support for the DSC-R1 in the 10.4.7 update - that's a shame, I was hoping that it might be included

    To make the R1 work with aperture, one must convert the R1 RAW file to a DNG first.
    To make the new DNG work, you must lie to the computer.
    After all it is only a machine. Garbage in garbage out.
    So go to the following file:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Raw.plist
    Save a copy of original file
    Open the "plist" in TextEditor
    Find the Sony DSC-V3
    Delete V3 and type R1
    Save file
    Reboot Mac
    Convert an R1 RAW file to DNG
    Test
    Use Preview to open new DNG file.
    Did it open?
    Then aperture will open this file.
