Set up prepaid calling card for international calls?

I have a prepaid calling card that I use for calling international. The way it works is that I have to call a 866 number, followed by entering a 10 digit code, and then proceed to calling the actual number (with international prefix codes). Is there a way to set this up as international call default so that I do not have to modify all my international contact's phone numbers to include this procedure?
Thanks.

What steps do I need to take once Verizon unlocks my sim card for international use on another carrier

Hi, I am traveling to Romania in a few days. I called Verizon Global Support and had them unlocked my sim card for the 4s.
They told me there was some steps I had to take after they unlocked it and I will find these steps on the Apple website.
Well I cant find what they are talking about and my search on the internet is not giving what I want.
I see things about Sprint 4s and that u must connect your phone to Itunes to complete the unlock process is this the same for verizon ?
The Verizon Rep told me I will be able to use a Internation Sim but I had to connect my phone to a computer after replacing the International sim and go threw a whole process of Restoring and resetting my phone threw Itunes. Is there true ? I dont not have a internation sim with me is there any other way to see if its unlock and how the process is ? Do i need to set my phone to only run on GSM when I get there or will the International sim automatically switch the band ?
I know its alot of question all at once but i just want to get to the point.
Thanks any help will be appericated

This is the only thing I could find but it does not answer my question or even what I was told by the Global Support Rep.
Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
1. Meet the following requirements:
* Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
* The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
* The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
* The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
* Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!

3rd Party SATA raid cards for internal drives?

All --
Apart from the discussion as to if RAID actually benefits a home desktop system, I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
My Mac Pro is still slated to be built at Apple and for now I have the minimum memory and HD spec being requested at Apple, with the plan to upgrade the memory and drives from OWC or another vendor.
I've toyed with the idea of utilizing Disk Utility's software RAID features (e.g. RAID 0 for scratch disks, RAID 1 for boot, RAID 0+1 for all else.) I've also toyed with the notion of searching for a hardware raid solution which would allow me to transfer the internal SATA cable runs from the motherboard to a host adapter card for an internal multi-channel experience (with options to create and break mirrors to external devices for backup purposes.)
So....
Has anyone experience or utilized 3rd party hardware raid controllers which can connect to the internal HD bays? Are there limitations to this (ie, does the boot drive HAVE to reside off the internal motherboard controllers, or can an internal hardware controller successfully boot the system) of which ought be noted?
Finally, in the event that a host adapter card cannot drive the interna bays, can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?
Thanks for your time,

I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
There are many 3rd party controllers that support the internal HDs if an internal iPass connector is used. The problem is that some are bootable but most are not.
The Areca ARC-1680ix-12 and the HighPoint RocketRAID 4320 are bootable. However, the system cannot be installed via the Apple DVD. Instead the user needs to clone a boot drive with the proper drivers to the boot volume on the controller and then boot from the 3rd party controller.
The other issue I found is that these controllers do not support Boot Camp. If Boot Camp is desired, my recommendation would be to leave the internal HDs on the Mac Pro internal bus intact and use the 3rd party controller for external storage. This method provides four internal bays that are bootable, support Boot Camp and can be used for system backups. I use the 3rd party controller for external storage for large RAID sets and hot swapping hard disks.
With the internal bays intact and external hot swap RAID storage available the user can support Boot Camp, multiple system volumes and large external RAID sets. From my experience using a 3rd party controller with the internal HD bays always has some limitations. The user usually does not realize it unit later when Boot Camp does not work or the computer fails on a system upgrade or the controller does not work at all with a new version of Mac OS X.
Staying with the standard internal Mac Pro bay configuration will be the best configuration to avoid compatibility issues with future versions of Mac OS X. It is rumored that the new Snow Leopard may require 64-bit drivers. If that is the case, I would expect most if not all existing 3rd party controller drivers to fail. Some drivers will be upgraded after a few months while others may not. Having the internal Mac Pro SATA controller intact should at least allow the Mac Pro to boot if my guess about compatibility issues is correct.
can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?
There are a large number of external controllers that work with Disk Utility. Here are some of my favorites.

Is anyone set up to use anycast for internal DNS?

Good Afternoon,
I've been considering using Anycast to provide some redundancy for internal DNS lookups. Configuring DNS and subsequent slave zones in Leopard is easy enough and as I understand it, Anycast is just a way of configuring routers so that one IP address can resolve to many different machines.
I see some of the benefits of using Anycast in that we can have the same 2 dns ip addresses in perpetuity and that as long as one node is up, people will be able to get out.
So my question to you guys: Has anyone done this? If so, is there anything I need to look out for before I start? Is there something you wish you'd known before you started down this path.
I'd love to hear your experiences and read any documentation you might have kept. I thought Mr Hoffman's write up on his DNS services was really excellent btw.
Cheers,
dave

Do you have a particularly large infrastructure?
IP Anycast is usually implemented via BGP announcements from your router(s), with each router using the BGP tables to determine the 'best' server to use. If you're doing this for internal DNS then that assumes you're already running IBGP.
Even then, BGP is a pretty dumb protocol - all it does is say 'hey, here's how to get to a.b.c.d IP address'. It has no idea whether the specific server/service you're after is available at that address.
In other words, even if you setup IP Anycast via IBGP you'll still have clients routing to a dead server unless you can somehow update your BGP tables when a server goes down. Not a trivial task for most routers.
It sounds like what you really want is more load balancing than IP Anycast. There are numerous load balancers than can do this. Another option (if your DNS servers are physically close) is to use some kind of failover process so that the second server assumes the role (and IP address) of the first server should it fail (and vice versa). That option is built-in to Mac OS X Server (although it takes a little command-line jiggling to get it working).
Then again, the whole point of defining multiple DNS servers on the client is that the client will automatically fail over to alternate servers if it doesn't get a response from the first - in other words, the clients already have built-in failover for DNS (although the user will notice lookup delays when the primary server is offline).

Set up a smart card for user logon to windows server 2012 R2

Good Evening,
I have Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition (dreamspark license)
Is it possible to successfully set up smart card logon to a server ? I already have the smart card reader, smart card and the certificate (which is also my digital signature) I know how to setup a DC role (as far as I know, the server has to be in a domain
to use smart card logon) I would like to logon using to my PC using a smart card and set the certificate I already have to use as a certificate for logon.
Kind Regards,
Tomasz

It would take a few things to do this, and could cause some security issues. In short, I assume the certificate you "already have" came from another environment or a commercial provider. You would need to configure your computer to trust that CA
to be an issuer of smart card authentication certificates. That effectively moves a good portion of your computer security control out of your environment. For many environments that is an unacceptable security risk.
If you dont have an Active Directory running, you will also need to make some accommodations to the standard guides. I dont believe there are any published guides on how to do this with a single server and third-party CAs.
Here are some references for generic smart card authentications. They are not 100% applicable to your need, so some interpretation is going to be needed.

Trading U.S. gift card for international

Hi!
I have U.S. 10$ gift card and i can't use it in my country.
Does any one here have an international gift card and want to trade me for the U.S. one?

There is no such thing as an international iTunes card. All iTunes cards are specific to the country in which they are sold. If you're referring to some other type of gift card, this is not a place to do such trading. These forums are for technical support. Try another web site.

MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R Trying to add card for internal firewire header

Tiresmoke and anyone else who can help.
Maybe you remember me I have the above board and couldnt get it to recognize my Sata drive. Well I got an RMI and sent it in for repairs. Apparently there was something wrong with it because it works like a champ now.
Now I have a new problem with it.
My new case has a front firewire plug that is wired with an internal header type plug. This MB doesnt have a header for it. I also need any extra USB internal header for my floppy card reader, the 2 that are on the MB are being used by the "D" bracket and my front USB jacks, so I bought a card from New Egg that had both. The card is a "PCI Multimedia combo card" #15-107-112 from Link-Depot.com. I cant get this card installed. Instructions say it should find the drivers on my XP Pro disk with service pack 2. When I boot windows finds new hardware but cannot find the proper drivers. IVe tried leading it to the XP disk but know luck.
The manual says I need to install three types of drivers before the combo card will function properly.
1. 1394 Bus Controller driver
2. ALiPCI to USB Open Host Controller driver
3. ALiPCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller driver
It says the card is compliant to IEEE 1394 Open HCI specs.
Before the card was installed Device Mgr. said there was a VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 11394 Host controller installed(There were no Yellow or red symbols on it)
Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers there are several lines:
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
6 USB Root Hubs
4 VIA revision 5 or later USB Universal Host Controllers
VIA USB Enhanced Controller
So now I wondering if somehow these devices from the Motherboard are causing confusion with installing the card.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks !!

Thanx for the reply. I figured I could drop the D bracket but that still doesnt get me the internal firewire header. This card has a std firewire jack like on the back ot the computer so I had to buy a converter cable to go from the header pin plug to the std firewire plug. Heres the link to the card I bought.

Why cant I get this card to install is still my problem.

Can I buy a prepaid SIM card for my unlocked iPhone 4S?

I have an unlocked iPhone 4S purchased in Costa Rica where I live. I'll be visiting Michigan in July and August and would like to use the iPhone while there. Can I buy a prepaid and rechargeable SIM to install in the phone while there? If yes, what's recommended?

Probably, but it's always recommended you use supported carriers. Prepaid is a rather iffy subject, you probably won't get a whole lot of help here, but I suggest buying a StraightTalk Nokia E71 (has to be this phone), and finding a guide elsewhere for the prepaid activation.

Should I Get A PCI Sata Card For Internal Drives

I'm transferring Files from old G4 to a new G5 and it's taking forever. The sata drives seem to work slower. When I transfer the same way(Firewire)on my G4 it's much faster. Someone said to get a PCI sata card and hook up my internals to that instead of the factory connection. That it's faster that way. I'm going to have to burn to dvd and transfer that way, but it seems to defeat the purpose. Any suggestions are appreciated.
G5 Dual Core 2.0 with 2.5 GB and 2 250 Drives

Come to think of it, the last time I needed to transfer some media from my G4 to G5, the quickest and easiest way (mind you they are in separate rooms), was to pop out the G4 drive and use one of these cheap IDE USB adapters. Since the G5 is USB2, the process was pretty quick.
My guess about the G5 in target mode is there must be some kind of overhead, but the SATA is FAR and away faster than the FW connection between them, so a SATA card won't help.

How do I set birthday reminders without having to create a separate contact card for each person in a family?

I'm trying to set birthday reminders in iCal based on the birthday field in Contacts. But in order to create separate birthday entries for individuals in the same family, you have to set up a separate card for each person. Anyway around that?

Thank you to johnbeardy, Anthony.Ralph and Rob for your replies. The OP (I guess that's me, Maps Man) has been happy with CS since CS2. I have upgraded etc and used it successfully. Unfortunately, I have recently up graded my camera as well but CS5 would not read the new RAW files. My natural inclination was to look at a CS upgrade but Adobe effectively priced me out. It obviously is not interested in amateur hobbyists anymore perhaps because they don't produce enough cash for Adobe. Even the new "Cheap" offer they are offering is still very pricey as well as being ongoing for life. I looked at a variety of alternatives including Elements, Lightroom and DxO Pro 8. In the meantime I used a combination of Nikon's ViewNX2 to judge my uploads off camera then Adobe DNG Converter to change them to DNG and back to CS5 for the fun bit. Rightly or wrongly, I decided that Lightroom was the least objectionable both for cost and user friendliness. And I do like the results I get using it. I can now go back to coming straight out of camera, do a substantial amount of edit work and go directly to CS5 for final touches such as size and frame (perhaps Lightroom does that also but I have not yet found how! Time will tell.) It is just that I find the first part so annoying. I do not mind organisations giving us suggestions (e.g. Catalogues) I just find it a nuisance that I cannot say "Thanks, but no thanks it is too complicated for what I want." As for using it "properly" it is debatable whether Adobe's engineers have done it "properly" if they don't give that choice. After all, CS5 etc does not need catalogues to work well so why should Lightroom's catalogues be "proper?"
Obviously I will be sticking with Lightroom and I will try to find my way round the problem. I had hoped that there may have been some way to customize it for my needs but there does not seem to be.
Thank you again for your comments.

Raid cards for mac pro 2.66

i would like to set up a hardware card for my os as raid 0
(2 10,000 rpm hard drives)
and a hardware raid 1 for my data.(same/separate card ??)
are there any sudgestions on makes and models and compatability?
i am aware of the software raids provided by the os, i've heard they are not as reliable and fast as the harware solution, agree, disagree???

Yeah they say the software raid is good and I can't say first hand but I have heard good reports. In general I prefer hardware RAID but i setup server not clients so. Was using acard.com stuff for a bit but there offerings have gone down on the mac side. My current card of choice is Highpoint's Rocket RAID.
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/
Card works good and drivers all appear to be up-to-date with Intel based Mac's now. Nice web-GUI to the Raid controller. My only complaint could be OS related as opposed to driver but the Hot-Swap won't work right. In order for me to swap i need to drop the drives from the server and pull them. (alarms alarms, lol) Then put my swaps in. Seems the release call from the web-GUI does not kick the drive out right or the Mac OS won't let go of them even after un-mounting.

[CAUTION] CC for international students - SelfScore

According to user jsucool76 - who contacted the company directly - they do not report to CRAs if no SSN is supplied during application (one is not required). If a customer then gets a SSN and supplies it to SelfScore they claim they will then start reporting to CRAs. It is not clear at this time what CRAs they report to, if they "backdate" to the time you originally opened your account with them, and then how often they report. So request more details before embarking on this Original post: I know this question has been asked here a few times. I came across this and thought i would share. It seems like a fantastic product.
Highlights:
- CC that only international students can apply for
- No SSN required. You apply by sending them your passport copy, immigration form (to prove you are a student), visa copy and a babk statement
- Starting limit $1000; no clue if it can grow
- no AF or from what i can tell no other BS fees
- APR 0% for 6 months, then 13-23% variable
- 1% cashback on all purchases
Www.selfscore.com
It appears to be a startup banking on the fact that international students have a lower default risk than the general US population. My assumption is they like to see some assets (although i don't know how much is enough - is 1k enough? 5k?). They probably don't HP.
Anyway, unless i am missing something this SelfScore seems to be a dream product for international students who want to establish credt history

Hello! This is Alee, Content Director of SelfScore. First of all, thanks for your interest and for taking the time to research our credit card. Based on what's mentioned here, I thought I'd clarify a few facts about our card: -We DO report to credit bureaus once you link an SSN to your SelfScore account-We offer a real credit card, not a debit card or secured credit card-We DO NOT require a cash deposit This is a real credit card for international students that allows you to build a proper US credit history. It is an introductory-level card with a low spending limit and fair APR (these numbers vary based on our users' individual circumstances) plus cash back and no annual fees. We are former international students who wanted to help younger versions of ourselves access US credit while they study. We're neither a predatory service nor a dream come true. We're offering fair credit to those who deserve it: a population of international students whose creditworthiness could not be measured by existing metrics. We use alternate verification methods such as ability to repay, education, and personal funding sources to substitute for traditional (and outdated) verification methods. If you are an international student interested in our card, sign up for our waitlist. If you want a more detailed answer to anything mentioned here, please contact [email protected] Hope this helps! -Alee
