Hello. I recently bought an Iphone 5S. I tried to charge it with the original charger that came with the phone and it doesn´t work...The cable is good, I´m charging the phone via my PC. I read many answers posted here but no one helped me. Thanks in

Hello. I have a new Iphone 5S and the charger taht came with the phone doesn´t charge my Iphone. The cable is good because I´m charging the phone via my PC. I tried every recomendation posted here but none helped me...I live in Argentina and we don´t have local support here, I would´ve ask for a new one but it´s not an option here. Does anyone know what can I do? Thanks in advance. Regards.

I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport" it replies it cannot locate it)
I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
Perhaps iOS Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
Use Google Maps instead
BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!

Off-topic: why are there so many irrelevant posts here?

Why on earth are people posing questions that have absolutely no bearing on ARD? I'm trying to solve a problem with ARD and it's unbelievably frustrating to have to wade through an absolute morass of totally unrelated posts to try and find the info I need.
More to the point, why are the forum admins/mods not moving posts to the appropriate forum, where the question can be better answered?

People do not read the title of the forum or do not understand there are many forums. I have the ability to report posts and recommend relocation. I do that as time permits, but I am not, as a volunteer, treating this as a job.
The hosts/administrators do not have time to review every post for placement (staffing would not support that, I am sure).

JTABLE addRow many questions - few (good) answers

Hello,
Yes, I know that there are many questions posted in this topic and that I should search the forum before post lamer questions.
I have done that without finding any good answer.
Do anyone now where to find any good documentation on JTable?
I have tried with addRow, getModel.addRow etc. but it does not work.
I suspect that these methods are not accessable and that I need to create a sub class to access them.
Is this correct?
Does anyone have a working(complete code) example of how to add a row(jdk 1.3)?
If possible also an example how to insert a record set retrieved from a database into an Jtable( or sub class)
thanks, Jonas Vikstrom

Thanks, for the help!
I did try to use addRow on the model using getModel without luck.
It seems like I need to cast the object returned by getModel as a defaultTableModel in order to be able to add a row. Not the nicest design in my taste, but I am new to java.
The reason that I need to use getModel instead doing it like in your example is that I want to use it on an table created by Forte4j. (ie I have no variable refering to the model)
This seems to work:
JTable1 being the table
javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel oModel ;
oModel = (javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel)jTable1.getModel();
oModel.addRow(tabRow);

Apple noob ipad2? - many questions, can you help?

hi, i have many, many questions. if you could answer at least a couple and let someone else answer others, i would be so grateful! thank you!
i'd like to get an ipad 2. i'm very crippled, disabled, and desperately in need of a *good* tablet. since i am very very poor, it will be nearly impossible for me to do this. first of all, is there any way for someone like me to obtain a new ipad; a contest, a charity, anything like that? i hate to ask, but i'm nearly quadriplegic and will be completely at some point. i've tried some cheap tablet pcs and they were all horrible and returned. i cannot afford the $329 for the cheapest ipad 2, so i surely cannot afford one w/ more storage. i need to know if ipads are equipped w/ removable storage, such as a micro or standard SD card. are they? i would have to get the cheapest ipad 2 which i believe has 16gb of storage. i'd want to be able to store onto an SD (or other) media or i will eventually fill up the space.
i do see that it has bluetooth. can i transfer apple files to a pc via bluetooth? is that possible since my old, old, defunct, barely functional pc is running win7? any pc i'd transfer to would be MS windows. i will always save in a windows compatible format. i just do not know if i can transfer files from apple to pc, as well as if i can transfer via bluetooth from apple to pc?
i'm concerned about having to pay for apps. i live way below the poverty line and have no friends or family to assist w/ anything - not that i would dare ask! i'm on my own and this would be a once in a lifetime purchase that would have to last me "forever". i heard an ipad user say something about the first gen ipad becoming "obsolete" and that you cannot upgrade an ipad; you have to buy a new one. is that correct? if i could get an ipad 2 (i'd *love* the retina display but cannot afford it - so just the standard ipad 2), will it be useless at some point - a few years from now?
are there many *free* apps? such as, can i install a Netflix app to watch on the tablet for free? or listen to a free radio app? or is there a cost for *every* app? forgive me, i have limited use of my neck and cannot hold my head up or use my arms much, so this post is all i can do. i cannot go searching through available apps.
bc of my physical disabilities, i am desperately in need of something extremely lightweight that will last me a very long time. in addition to the cost of apps, are there any other operating costs, other than my internet service, for which i need to be aware of before diving into All Things Apple?
if there are any charities or foundations that assist people, disabled or not, in obtaining an ipad 2, please give me link(s) and/or info. due to my disablities and financial situation, a very good tablet is my only option. i cannot sit up vertically at all sometimes, or if i can, for only a limited time. i cannot turn my head to view a monitor. ergo, i need something that can be used in a very reclined position. that rules out everything but tablets.
i *think* that SIRI would be a good way to do things via voice recognition. i'm not sure of "her" capabilities, however. is there voice recognition accessibility built into iOS? i cannot always use my arms, so i need to be able to speak to do communications. some of my doctors *only* communicate via their secure email service. they will not accept calls to the nurses at all. this is a huge problem for someone that cannot look at the screen due to its position, or type the email. i really need voice recognition so i can communicate! if it's not built into iOS, is it an app? what price?
i would also need the smart cover and a keyboard. i have to have the stand, as i am unable to hold the ipad up - remember that i am in a reclined position at all times. i would likely put the ipad w/ the cover as a stand on my knees (bent and upward), and then need a keyboard on my abdomen. are the keyboards wired or wireless? if wired, how long is the cord? i would need about 2.5-3' in length to do this.
i have an HDTV that was a gift (THANKS!). does the ipad 2 come w/ a standard HDMI or other connection cord to connect directly to the tv? or does one need to purchase "apple tv" or some other type unit to view and use on the tv screen? (in which case, a keyboard w/ cord would not work, would a wireless keyboard work about 8-10' away?).
if my old printer works, i will have to connect it to the old pc - running windows. will i still be able to print w/ airprint, even tho the printer is connected to a windows pc? very much need ability to print, especially for medical and financial concerns. do not have wifi printer and cannot afford one. will it work?
can i use my google account and its settings - will apple sync w/ chrome?
how much is the warranty and for how long may i purchase it for? I would want the longest one. i was able to see that it said you can make 2 warranty claims. is this correct?
can i upgrade iOS? is there a charge for it, as in windows? can i use other programs such as photoscape (freeware vr of photoshop) or another browser (such as dolphin)?
does it have GPS? may i use it at no charge? i'm homebound, so this is not a big issue, but if i survive the many major surgeries, i *hope* i can get out again!
i really need some help. i cannot communicate with people! i'm new to apple and do not know anything about these things. please forgive me for the very lengthy post and so many questions. any and all information would be quite helpful! please remember that i *cannot* go searching around sites to find this information. this post alone has taken over 2 days to write.
thank you again, and i appreciate your time!
tiff TIFFANYDW2 at yahoo dot com

thank you so much IIP glad to hear someone vouch for a refurb. youre right, i cannot afford anything apple. i was hoping to find a foundation that helps disabled ppl that need to communicate. i really REALLY need to know if there's voice recognition in the iOS, or even a good free app.... idk. as you said, i looked at refurbs and even the same model as the cheapest new ipad 2 was $400. :/ only diff i could see *i think* was that it was wifi and cellular - and i only need wifi. perhaps the reason the refurb was as much as the new w/ only wifi?
prob w/ laptop pc - cannot use arms much, esp to pick up a laptop, and cannot carry one around. even an ultrabook (which is a trademark) or other light weight is over 3lbs and i cannot do that. i can barely do 8oz (for a drink). ergo laptops are out. ultras / light weights are way too expensive. they also come w/ friggin win8. the starting range of those are much higher than the starting range of ipad.
i guess i'll have to look into a samsung galaxy 2 tablet, android, upgradeable, if i cannot find a way to get the ipad. advantage of tablet pc over apple / ipad is big time w/ warranty. so that is my 2nd choice, since the price just went down tonite actually at my WM. (no lectures! i have to buy there, cannot afford local biz's!)
i'm using a laptop now, old one, borrowed, win xp. i cannot move it at all. it's soooo heavy! i've not weighed it but would not be surprised if over 5lbs. ergo my posts take forever to write and it's very hard for me as i cannot be in a reclining position to use it. due to my spinal diseases, it's complicated. i have to move around at least every 20-30min while awake, or 45-60min while trying to sleep. not to be confused w/ mobility or ability to hold head upright/ at all, or use of arms. spinal disease is entire spine now. just found out that peachy news recently.
so you see a laptop wont work. i've spent months and months trying to find a laptop that i *could* use. not possible.
pro's of tablet pc: less than 1/2 the price, and no q's asked, no charge, 2-3 yr drop/spill/anything accident or manufacturing defect. will get one w/ android, upgradeable. tons of free apps.
cons: much less performance, and nothing near the quality of ipad in any way. even the cases are not as durable as ipad. wont get anything w/ windows on it, so have to make sure it's an android. many android models *do not* have VR (voice recognition) installed. hard to find *free* *good* VR app. have to use mSD card. hard for someone w/ very limited use of arms and would have to mess around w/ that little tiny thing w/ messed up dexterity.
pro's of ipad: DURABLE, still unclear how long it'll last as far as upgrading iOS and available apps. great OS and software/apps. compatible in many ways w/ pc. *better* features in all ways than tab pc.
cons: no idea if disability accessibility w/ VR installed or free app that is *free* and *good*. price more than 2x as much as decent tablet pc. warranty is crap. i cannot afford it and it's only 1 yr and doesnt cover accidents. have to buy more expensive compatible accessories like case/cover/kb.
either way, i have to find help for purchase of either kind and accessories and prob good VR software/app. at some point, i will be 100% quadriplegic and unable to communicate - that's an absolutey firm prognosis. at this time i am 80% incapicated - meaning 80% of a 24hr period i am completely incapcitated. i wanted to get VR set up on pc, but cannot sit, even in recliner, and look at monitor due to position of body and therefore having to turn head, hold weight of head on neck, and entire spine issues. so i was going to set it up, as i thought i had no choice (which i wont have likely sooner than expected), and then i got laryngitis and had *no* voice at all for 35 - THIRTY FIVE!! - days! been ~2+ mo now and it still goes out. crazy! advice: if you lose your voice, SHUT UP or you'll never get it back. i'm not kidding!
so things arent working out well at all for awhile. *shrugs* such is life.
this reply has taken me many trips (and hours) to the old laptop and i cannot hold my head up or use my arms anymore tonight. so
KING PENGUIN - i will have to read and reply to you tomorrow (USA). sorry!
thank you IIP! tablet pc is back in my options. that choice was just made a few hours ago when my "servant" (lol, my bff, he's so sweet!) came by and went shopping for me so i could get some food! yummy! there are too many cons to tablet pc, but it appears, at this point, that it's going to be my only choice.
k, my head's falling off! i tell ppl i have a "dislocated head" HAHA and my mom thought i was serious. :/
THANK YOU!!!

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

There are too many questions "like" mine, so here it is: I updated from Mountain Lion to Yosemite, I can't open iphoto 9.1.5, I am directed to the app store, I "accept" iphoto upgrade and enter my credentials, but no update occurs. :-(

Attempting iPhoto upgrade from 9.1.5 to 9.5.

How many questions like yours should there be? What exactly do you expect the volenteers here to do about what you personally consider "too many questions"?
To move to iphoto 9.6 (required for Yosemite) You must log in to the App store using the Apple ID that was used to set up the compter (or purchase the application if it was purchased later), backup your iPhoto library and then download and install iPhoto 9.6 from the App store
If that is not working then you must contact App store suport - link is on the right of the App store window

Apple ID - Recover Security Questions!

Help!!!
I have recently tried to buy some goodies from the store - all is fine when purchasing free products... I tried to buy a product earlier and since I havent purchased anything from my new Apple iPhone 5c it asked me for security reasons to provide answers to my security questions, all being well if I could remember my answers!!!! I clicked the option on my apple ID to re-send the answers via e-mail, 7 times I have requested this to 3 different email addresses and I have still not recieved them, is there an other option?! Has anybody else had this bother... When I signed up for the Apple Support Communities I recieved the e-mail right away to say I was registered.
Thanks in advance,
One very annoyed apple customer!

The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, which you can't change without answering your questsions - if you've been changing email addresses on your account then they will be alternate email addresses or your primary email address, they won't affect the reset link.
If you haven't received the email to your rescue email account (and you've checked the spam folder on it as well as the inbox) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

Many Questions from a Potential Convert...

1) I'd like to connect a Samsung 245BW display to an iMac. This monitor is currently using a cable with DVI-D single link connectors which look exactly like: http en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DVI_Connector.jpg
My question is this: what adapter do I need to connect this second display to an iMac?
2) The Bootcamp feature is a huge plus in my decision but where possible, I'd like to spend time in the native Apple world rather than switch back & forth all the time. With that in mind...can a Mac read an avi file?
3) Related to that, can I import my Windows-based Premiere Pro projects to a Mac-based Adobe Premiere Pro? After Effects? Etc. Or will those projects forever remain in the clutches of Mr. Gates?
4) While I realize that the only people in forums making posts are those who're having problems and that they are probably the minority...can someone please provide some kind of assurance that they are, in pure point of fact, a minority? Given Apple's market share, it does seem like a rather large percentage posting here and I'd like to not feel as though I've bought a computer destined for wonkiness.
Many thanks in advance!

Actually, the answer to (1) is a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, if the iMac to be purchased is a 2009 model.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?mco=NDY5OTA2OQ
If the iMac is a 2008 or earlier model, then it has a mini-DV port, so you need a mini-DVI to DVI adapter.
For (2), if you boot Windows using Boot Camp, your iMac is basically a Windows PC, so you can do anything you can do on a Windows PC (including being vulnerable to Windows malware). You may also want to consider using WMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop, which allow you do run Windows under Mac OS X as a +virtual machine+.
For (3), if the file formats are the same for the Mac and Windows versions, you should be able to do it.
For (4), even if Mac OS X computer have 10% market share, that is still tens of millions of Macs in active use around the world, and growing. And they are mostly computers being used as real computers by real users, not as point-of-sales terminals and other specific business purposes, which makes up a large portion of Windows-based computers (computers that do the same thing over and over again and have a large IT staff for maintenance). So I would say the forums not being overrun with problem posts individual Mac users is a good indication that the vast majority of Mac users are happily computing without any major problems.

I have many questions, I have called Support, they refuse to forward or give me Tech Support See Be

Hi,
I have many questions, and have had a very frustrating time to get in touch with the correct person.
I have called support twice, both times even though it was a technical question about cloud, they refused to forward my calls and told me there is NO technicall support for Cloud and that I have to place my questions here in the forum.
I am CONTINUALLY told to change my password, 2 and 3 times a week. I am a sysAdmin, my passwords are a MINIMUM of 13 Char/UP/Lower/Number/Special Combo, always have been. They work out to a 100% approval in any algorythm checker.   Yes, I was one of the persons who had their password stolen which has caused me a tad bit of inconvenience, but such is life.   Is This Normal? I have gone on twitter a few times to verify the emails, I have got them so often.
My "Cloud Sync" Hasn't worked since PhotoShop's Site Closed, I know this beause I stored my 20gigs of files, .ai, and .eps, .psd eveything that I couldn't move to Revel (which btw, I never got a refund for having to purchase the revel account 20gigs, when photoshop was closed, which also was never refunded.)
I actually wasn't too worried about the cloud issue because I only work at home, if I go somewhere else.. work's not going with me
Since about three weeks ago and currently I am having NOTHING but problems with cloud, The errors in my Event Log are NUMEROUS

manifest for x86/64bit at both dll files compiled so I cannot review their content.
However it should be noted at this time, I did not invoke Dreamweaver, the Cloud did, and this is not the first time.
This particular error occured 5 times in 3 seconds.
Same two errors at 3:49pm on the 28th.
Today, I went and bought a new solid state drive. Brand New Fresh OS, Downloaded Cloud, CC, and of course The Edge Products, which I dearly love btw.      Everything seems to be working fine, EXCEPT,
1.) where did CS6 Products Go?
2.) Why after being a Faithful Product User/Cloud Supporter for the Last two years, after going through all the trials and tribulations with Adobe, am I being asked to renew my license for a "One Time Per Year Fee" which is MORE than my monthly amount? ( deal: 599.80; payments at 49.95 per month is 599.40 Go Figure? ) So, I'm being asked to pay the same amount, make it a single payment and get half the software, litterally. Did I miss a paticularly important anouncement?
3.) EVERYONE OF MY IRREPLACABLE FILES IN MY CLOUD ALL MY AI FILES, are gone. Yesterday, it would seem My having the SYNC TURNED OFF was over-ridden by the system (Adobes) and they have upload 'garbage' files, and my original files, the caligraphy files are no longer there. My gorgeous image of a little boy with flowers is no longer there. I PAID ALMOST A GRAND for these files. Stored them on Adobe, because, well, you deal with images, so you're the best right, that's why I bought extra storage on photoshop.com, then was told I would have to move to revel, but not the ai, eps, or pdf and i don't remember about png's. files, so I moved everything to revel (purchased the extra storage there.) AND put everything on the cloud and turned off my file sync. Not everyone is an idiot, maybe something is turned off, there's a reason for it, how dare someone override MY SETTINGS. They could have emailed, called, chat, google chat, irc, or snail mailed me, it's pretty easy to get my attention.
I could just cry.
lost my files,
asked to pay one time instead on monthy, and there's not even a discount and no additional incentive. Lost the ability to work without having to be connected to the internet, which will be delimited here very shortly since I'm on comcast.
and the worst, the very absolutely worst part is this is the SECOND time in a row now, I've had an issue with Adobe that has gone on for over a year while support TELLS ME A PAYING CUSTOMER, that 'gee, sorry, no support for cloud" , "No I can't forward you to a tech" (direct quote) and "The Only support for any cloud issues is the forum"
How can I handle this in the future, my nerves just can't take it anymore. Seriously, I'm just shaking now I'm so upset about this and I really hate writing something like this, or airing issues in public that really should be, imho, private.

Hi Ken,
Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared
Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
I have of course rebooted,
Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads, tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can put files there? There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting. Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
Please, feel free to contact me,
I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

Q:-
How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

Many questions...advice? iPad 2 == iPad Air in France

I have a 16 GB iPad 2 WiFi and am planning to buy a 32 GB iPad Air WiFi + cellular
I'm in France, but will probably be moving to the US next year.
Many questions, any answers appreciated!
-I don't have a computer...my laptop committed suicide, and I got the iPad to tide me over, and found that I really don't need anything more. Is there any problem transferring my apps and data over, or do I have to repurchase stuff? It's backed up on iCloud.
-related question...is there a good way to get music I've got on various iPods (I've got 3 of the old tiny ones) onto the iPad (again, no computer)?
-will I be able to buy an iPad Air in France and use it in the US with just an adaptor, or do I need to buy a completely different power cord?
-it looks like if I get the WiFi + cellular version in France, I need to sign a cellular contract. Does anyone know if this is actually the case, or if I can buy one contractless, use it WiFi, and worry about the cellular part later? Again, if I take it to the US, will I be able to add a US cellular contract later? Or am I stuck with whichever country I bought it in?
-is there a good way to easily trade in or sell my old iPad? French power cord, etc. Earbuds died. Has it got any value?
-if I buy a 16 GB iPad Air can I add memory later, or should I go for 32 GB right off the bat? I spent a bunch of money for extra iCloud storage, only to discover that it didn't mean I could keep more movies downloaded, and so it wasn't useful and I canceled it. Am I correct in assuming that I probably want the 32 GB this time around?
-I don't have a printer, but I'd like to get one. What I really want is cheap and nasty, good at printing black-and-white, easy set-up, no expensive supplies. Recommendations? Or what to definitely avoid?
-is there a good reason to buy from the Apple Store as opposed to a general electronics retailer?
-I currently use the SmartCase, but I'm thinking to change to a SmartCover because of the weight.
Except for not covering the back of the device, do they basically function the same?
-I don't like the available Apple case color options (they are the icky pastel colors of cheap Japanese blenders! Why?)...
Are there any cases from other manufacturers that are equally or even more functional but have other colors?
If anyone has any recommendations for indispensable accessories that you really love, please tell me!
Also, the 2 annoying points I've noticed are (1) a bunch of stuff is only available through FlashPlayer, and (2) can't attach multiple documents to emails. Are there any changes here, or am I missing an
easy workaround?
Merci beaucoup!

As long as you use the same Apple ID on both the devices you can share apps and content that's been downloaded from Apple.
If the music on your iPod came from iTunes you can redownload it. If you synced it onto your iPods as music ripped from cd's etc then I don't think you can get it off the iPod, or if you can the only way to do that is with a computer.
You will only need a plug adapter, the power brick should work on world wide power.
I don't have a cellular iPad but if you get one that's wifi only you can later look into something like a Mifi, a portable battery operated wifi hot spot.
Selling your old iPad should be relatively easy although you might need to knock off a few bucks for the french power plug. Just make sure that you erase all content and settings before you sell it so they can get int it and so that your data is removed.
THe memory isn't upgradable so buy the memory you'll need because what you buy is all you have.
Any wireless printer could work. If it's air print enabled then you're good to go. If not you can look for apps by the printer manufacturer or there are plenty of third party printer apps that enable wireless printing.
You don't have to buy from Apple. In fact, places like Best Buy offer really great accidental damage protection that can be even better than waht Apple offers. In addition, third party places may have other perks, such as free covers or gift cards towards accessories, etc. So shop around.
The only thing to remember, if you choose to buy Apple Care Plus it's best to get it when you buy your device.
As far as I know there's no huge difference between the smart case or Smart Cover. If you're shopping for cases then I'd suggest Amazon. Widest and best selection out there, and even if you don't buy from amazon, you can see who's got what.
THe accessory I can't live without is my Zagg Folio, it's a case and wireless keyboard that turns my ipad into a mini computer. A stylus can also be helpful if you find the screen hard to maneuver around but not necessary.

Planning to buy, many many questions.

Hello,
I am sorry if people have been asked this before but help would be greatly apprecaited. I have many questions such as:
1)Is MSN compatable with MacBook programming?
2)Can you run downloading programs such as Limewire on MacBooks or do you have a downloading program on there?
3)Are there programs out there to change things over so I can use accessories that are only compatable with Windows? (my mp3 player for example)
4)Are their any disadvantages to having a MacBook Laptop?
5) What is the average daily battery life?
Thanks!

You have good instincts. Indeed these questions have been asked before. I suggest you do some forum searching for the answers.
I also suggest you visit an Apple retailer as well.

FYI - Apple link to RAMJET offers decent 1 GB SO-DIMM price

I've been buying RAM from RAMJET these days as it is linked to from Apple's web site at http://guide.apple.com/index.lasso and when at the RAMJET site the PB 17" 1 Gig DDR2 SO-DIMM is selling for $94. This is a sudden price drop from $117 only last week.
I've just bought 2x 1Gig from RAMJET via this link and it's working flawlessly in my new 17" PB (Hi Res) with 100gig HD @ 7200 RPM running 10.3.4. It sure made a big difference in system responsiveness going from 512MB to 2GB physical memory size.
BTW - you cannot get this $94 price at RAMJET unless you get to it from the Apple link given above.

This an FYI and wasn't a question - sorry.

A very handy Apple Link to many questions posted here ...
