3G card for W530

I did not go with the Qualcomm 3G card option for my W530, 150$ priced me out.  I'd like to put in one myself.  Is this possible?  My main concern is the antenna that should go with it.  Sometimes those things are strung up through the hinges and into the bezel of the monitor. Does anyone know how the antenna works for the W530, or possible W520? Their manuals are different so I would not be surprised if the antenna worked differently.   Would this guy of alteration void my warranty?

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • One card for OSX and one for windows...

    OK, I've been following the ongoing debate regarding the choice of graphics cards for the Mac Pro. I think saying that it's limited would be putting it mildly.
    Now, I really wish for a few more horsepower for when I'm playing Warcraft in Bootcamp but I really don't want to fork out £270 for the 1900XT just for apple to come along and update the range in x months and as I only really need the extra oomph in windows I wouldnt really see any benefit in OSX from the new card. Some people have touched on the idea of perhaps using a seperate card for when using windows. This would be great as I can get a better card for use in windows for a fraction of the price of a new apple card. What are the pro's and con's of doing this? Would the non-apple card confuse OSX and vica-versa would windows see both cards? Would I need to specify in windows which card I want to use? Would I have to remove a card each time I booted in the 'other' OS?
    Educate me a little please :O)

    I left WoW with over 200 days played and moved from a G4 to a Mac Pro with a 1900 during that time. I also ended up having my x1900 card replaced by Apple. According to many sources there is now a Rev2 card being shipped. I can't confirm it but I can confirm that fewer people seem to be having problems, and if you use SMC FanControl while playing WoW it will keep things cool and you'll be assured of no over heating issues. Personally I would not be concerned if I used SMC Fan Control, and in fact after getting the new card and beginning to use SMC Fan Control I had no further issues of any kind. The issue was with overheating. WoW runs just fine in OSX using the x1900 card. FPS over 100 is not uncommon and even in the Suppression room in BWL (still the most intense graphic area I can recall...nothing like it in Kara or anywhere else I've seen in the new content) I'd get 40-80fps. It's no SLI super high end, but very, very playable with a Mac Pro.

  • My girlfriend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the Canada store and spend most of it with .02¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't.

    My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*

    You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged  to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

  • 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!

  • Upgrade Video Card for HP Pavilion a6228x Desktop PC

    I'm wanting to upgrade the video card and was wondering if there were any suggestions as to a good card for under $60. I just need something equivalient to  "NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT or ATI Radeon X1950 Pro" or better. I just got Star Wars the Old Republic and my factory istalled graphics card is not powerful enough. I'm a bit confused on what type of graphics card my desktop takes. I did read that it has
    PCI Two (One available) PCI Express x16 One (One available) PCI Express x1 One (One available)
     Would a PCI Express 2.0 fit in one of these?
    One of the cards I am considering is:

    Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

    Hi,
    You might want to google Stars Wars Old Republic system requirements and see what others are suggesting.  Game performance is also tied to the game quality settings and monitor resolution that you want to use.
    I suggested these upgrades for another user wanting some suggestions.

  • How do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

    So I am planning on getting an unlocked verizon iPhone 5s but the thing is my carrier is AT&T. So how do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

    If you plan on using AT&T, why on earth would you purchase a Verizon iPhone? Doesn't make any sense. Yea, it will work on AT&T's network, but you won't get LTE, only 3G. LTE requires using a Verizon sim.
    This is an extremely poor idea. Purchaase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, if you want to use AT&T's network.

  • How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

    How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

    Copied from the link provided.
    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • 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.

    Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
    otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
    Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
    One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
    Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

  • I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions  that I forgot the awnsers to.what do I do?

    I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions  that I forgot the awnsers to. Than I click the forgot security questions than it sends it to my email but that's the problem I do not get any email.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • How to connect my iphone 4s to a USB sound card for 5.1 speakers?

    How to connect my iphone 4s to a USB sound card for 5.1 speakers?

    You can't:
    1. iPhone sound output is stereo, not Dolby 5.1 compatible.
    2. iPhones do not connect sound output by standard USB.  The connecting device has to be iPhone compatible.

  • Airport card for my g4 adp tower... I can't get it to work.

    I'm not very good with computers (when it comes to technical support). And I recently purchased an original airport card for my computer. I also burned the downloads onto a disc so that I would have the software. My computer has an operating system of 10.3.5. I downloaded the driver, turned off my computer, insterted the card and it pops up with an error that says it can't find the airport base station. What is this and do I need to buy something else for my computer? My internet connection is Comcast wireless. Any suggestions, thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read through a computer illiterates post...

    It sounds like you are trying to run either the Airport Setup Assistant or the Airport Admin Utility - and since this software is only of use to Airport Base Station owners (which you are not) this software is of no use to you.
    If your Airport card has been properly installed, you will see a fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar - that is the Airport menu. Click on it, and a list of all in-range wireless networks will appear. The name of the wireless router supplied by Comcast should appear there - click on that name to connect to it. With some luck you will now get an internet connection.
    If there are no wireless networks displayed when you click on the Airport menu, recheck the installation of your Airport card - you probably forgot to attach the internal Airport antenna cable to its connector on the Airport card.

  • I am trying to Flash WinPc Graphics cards for my two QS Mac's

    I am hoping that someone out there can help me with flashing a couple of win pc graphics cards for use in my 2 QS's.
    I have been trying to use graphicelerator and atiacelerator from the known site, but all I get is a copy error -61, followed by Invalid Flasher! Make sure it's not locked or on a locked volume.
    Now having checked my permissions I seem to have read and write on everything, is there anything I can do to prove this.
    I have tried switching between the two machines, so I am remote logging into the other using VNC that all works ok, is there any permissions that need to be set up within the VNC as I checked the permissions on the desktop and it all seems to show read and write permissions?
    I did try it out on a working graphic card for my machine and still got the same result.
    I am now lost

    Maybe someone here can help.
    In spite of the site name, it is a Mac video card site.
