Anyone have any news on Sprint EVDO for MBP

Anyone have any new information? Still waiting for Sprint EVDO for these express slots.

I am not sure where you got your information on the
use of the phone as a modem. If you use the USB 2
synch cable with a treo 700p, or the optional USB
cable for other phones to use phone as a modem mode,
you should get as good, or better throughput. Robert
Morgan at www.barefeats.com did the comparison of an
EVDO card vs. phone as a modem with the use of a
cable. While not elegant, it does work. With the Treo
I use USBmodem and it allows me to receive phone
calls while cruising the internet.
Sure, you can receive a call while surfing, but once you answer the call, you can't be surfing at same time. One or the other.
Many roadwarriors who have to be online and talking to their clients/employers at same time, came to us because they couldn't talk and surf at same time.
After switching to dedicated EVDO data devices, these same users are what reported back to me, that in the same places where they could never see more than 600-700-900kbps, they were now getting 1000-1200+kbps downloads, making their life that much easier. Even faster downloads now that Rev-A data devices are available.
I attribute the speed gain to better signal capture, and better data-processing ability of a laptop.
here are a couple of links to enlighten:
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?domains=1
(shows fastest cellphone test results)
http://www.dslreports.com/archive/spcsdns.net
(shows fastest EVDO speeds)
look for 'spcsdns.net', those are sprint test results. compare the two groups, and you tell me which got better results... phone or dedicated data device?
i'll close by repeating what i said earlier. for those who need only infrequent data access, tethering is the way to go. but for the roadwarrior who needs fastest downloads and the ability to talk on phone at same time. get a phone and an EVDO data device like one of these:

  • Does anyone have any new recommendations to help iTunes recognize that my 128 iPhone and 128 iPad aren't 16 GB models?

    I have suffered from this problem for years, but since upgrading to 128 iOS devices in September, the mysterious iTunes/iOS hidden data disease has gotten intolerable. Here's the deal:
    I use my iPhone and iPad mostly for media consumption. I don't have a ton of apps. I have lots of videos, music through iTunes Match, and a few pictures. I'm one of those dinosaurs who doesn't use the cloud but downloads it, stores it, and syncs it via USB frequently (which I would bet is the root of my problem). Although I have a large capacity devices, I sync almost daily. And each time I sync, my displayed free space and the space iTunes allows me to use differs more and more. Old fixes used to involve such things as restoring the devices, turning off automatic syncing, turning off photo syncing, turning off other syncing apps, etc. And these things were temporary fixes.
    Let me give you an example of what I mean by temporary. It has been exactly eight days since I last restored my iPad to brand spanking new, retaining nothing. In those eight days and approximately eight or nine manual USB syncs, each with an average of 60 GB transferred, I mysteriously have managed to lose 40 GB. This afternoon during my most recent sync, iTunes showed 86.3 GB free. However, as usual, it wouldn't sync anything close to that. By the time I had whittled my selections down to an acceptable amount, it still showed I had 47.2 GB free both in iTunes and in Settings on the iPad. Yet when tested it by trying to sync a 50 MB app, it said there was not enough available space. In days past, problems like this would take weeks or maybe even months to accumulate. And the culprit would usually be the "Other" category. When that happened, the remedies I described would help. This new beast is something else, though. Like I said, this took only eight days.
    I finally decided to post something, though, after I reset my iPhone to factory settings this evening. When I was syncing the initial apps and videos, it would not let me sync more than 30 GB of material. I don't know what to do, guys. I bought the maximum capacity devices because I like my HD content. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? If you say I just need to sync less, (1), Apple needs to get its act together, and (2) It might sound crazy, but I can probably only push it to 2 days, so I'd only be postponing my problems a few days.
    If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have spent time searching, but all I found was the answers I have already tried numerous times.

    I got my baby iPhone the day it came out. Seriously, I love it. I'm not really mad about the price drop, a little frusterated, but I knew what I was getting myself into when I purchased mine so early. But, now that I know there are ringtones in the future, I just can't wait.
    So basically, does anyone know for sure when we will be able to get the ringtones? And what about iTunes on the iPhone, when will that pop up? I'm sure these questions have been posted already, but I just can't seem to find a sure answer.
    I'm worried that it is just my iPhone/computer that can't find the update to get all the cool new feautres, any help?
    thanks in advance!

  • Anyone have any solutions on why Encore for Mac would crash at startup?

    I've posted for other problems that I had with Photoshop over permissions and scratch disk errors, and once those got fixed, I thought Encore would be fixed, as the two are linked somewhat. Nope. Is there no special keys to hold or any files to delete to fix this? Here is my  error report, which has my computer specs. I also have CS4 and 5.

    Update:
    I tried uninstalling Encore CS5.1 for Mac using AppDelete, the reinstalling.  This didn't help.  So I went into the Encore CS5.1 folder and launched the "Uninstall Adobe Encore CS5.1" application that's located there.  This allows you to choose which applications to uninstall.  I chose only Encore CS5.1.  Then I checked the box to remove preferences.  After the uninstall was completed, I reinstalled Encore CS5.1.  This seems to have done the trick.  Now Encore works fine.  I may have had a corrupt preferences file that AppDelete didn't delete, but which the Adobe uninstaller did.

  • IMovie on iPad... Anyone have any ideas or work arounds for the following issue?

    I use iMovie on my iPad to edit my go pro footage because it quick and easy and up until now have been more than happy with it.however I've come across a problem and need some help.
    Up until now any videos I've made have been relatively short and usually fit onto one SD card (I used the camera kit to transfer from SD to iPad) but I've just come back from a snowboard holiday and have 60gb of footage to edit down. So I have the following questions.
    1) if I put the files I copied off the SD back onto the sd card from my computer why won't the iPad let me import them? How can I resolve this issue.
    2) when I have a series of shortened video files how can I transfer them off the iPad to free up space to edit larger 1s? Also how can I get all the short clips back at the end?
    Thanks

  • I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

    I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

    While both the iPhone and the iPad use an Apple dock cable for charging, the iPad wants a 1100 mA charger, and the iPhone charger's a 500 mA charger. USB ports on newer Apple computers can switch into 1100 mA mode, but your average computer is going to put out no more than 500 mA and, possibly, quite less (for example, an un-powered USB hub will only put out 100 mA or so, and an iPad won't charge off that). The iPad will say "not charging" if it is trickle-charging (receiving less than 1000 mA of power).
    If the problem persists when using the 1100 mA iPad charger, you need to take it to an Apple store and have it serviced or replaced. Bring the iPad charger that you received with the iPad as it may be that the charger is defective and not putting out 1100 mA.
    If the problem is that it charges slow because it's being connected to iPhone chargers or PCs or older Macs, then it's not a problem with the iPad. It's charging, it just takes a long time because you are using an under-powered charger.

  • Does anyone have any suggestions for Ad blocking? I'm getting a lot of pop up ads while using Facebook from Safari.

           I'm getting a lot of pop up ads. mostly while using  Facebook. I'm running Safari on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Ad blocker. I don't see anything in the App store.
          I can't swear to it but I don't recall this being a problem pre-Yosemite. I could be wrong. I haven't been real active on Facebook until recently. I see some third party apps out there but am alway wary of non approved software.

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    You may not have the iPod's Music tab set up in iTunes, which is how you tell iTunes how to automatically sync your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.
    To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked.  Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
    With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab.  For example, you can make a playlist in iTunes with all the songs you want on the iPod.  That new album needs to be on that playlist, if you want those songs synced to the iPod.  On the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.
    When you Apply the change, your selection of songs sync to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
    Therefore, if you create a playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs), and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.
