Yes, exactly... and BBM will not cost any extra, it's just a part of your data and whatever you pay for it.

Will skype work aboard a cruise ship

Will skype work aboard a cruise ship if you have purchased the wi-fi package on the cruise?
Say you have the US call package will it work during a cruise to Hawaii?

Hi, Sfcass, and welcome to the Community,
Actually, no, there is not. Call ahead to ask! Cruise ships and ocean liners employ their own satellite systems that often cannot support the bandwidth needed by Skype to work properly.
Regards,
Elaine

Bbm will not work with a sim card

My BBM will only work on WIFI without a sim card in the phone.. I have a Blackberry Classic. When i take my sim card out my BBM works great. The app store works as well it only seems to be BBM. any suggestions on what I can do to fix this

Only if you buy an unlocked iPhone 5S which are ONLY available from Apple on-line or Apple Retail Stores in UK
You would have no warranty outside UK and the LTE(4G) will not work in China
3G should be OK

Lightroom 5 Graduated filter will not work from the centre out

Hi
I am running Lightroom 5.6 but I think this has always been the same. The Graduated filter in the Basic Development module only seems to work from the edges inward (from top/bottom or sides). I would like to create a filter across the centre (for a lake) but I can figure how to do this. I guess the only way is to use the new Radial filter is that correct (I would prefer to use the Grad filter).

To create the equivalent of a Graduated filter with the effect starting at the center you can drag the radial filter endpoint to stretch it off-screen. Use the hand tool to push the radial filter off-screen and then drag the endpoint out further. You may need to do this a few times. You can also use two Graduated filters back to back, which gives you the ability to apply a centered Exposure correction and adjustments for Highlights and Shadows correction that are different on each side.

Will WebHelp work from an ALUI community page?

Hi,
We want to post a WebHelp file on an ALUI page. Will it work or does the Help file need to be in another output format?
Thanks.
Diane

Hi Diane.
Let me start by saying I'm unsure what an "ALUI Page" is. Are you referring to the third part support package offered by ALUI? If so, and they are hosting the documentation online somewher I don't see why you couldn't use your webhelp output.

Contact phone numbers with ext. numbers will not work from old phone

When trying to use a contact number with an ext. the phone will say I do not have long distance nor international dialing on my plan.My previous phone was a LG Dare which allowed for the number to be dialed and the ext was then dialed after a release button was pressed. Any thoughts?

You can enter your contact number in your phonebook/contacts with a comma or two between the number and extension. A comma should wait 2 seconds and then dial the extension, 2 commas 4 seconds, etc
1234567890,1234
Or you can try a ; (semi-colon) to pause and ask for you to dial an extension. I don't know if this works on a GS3 or not

Elements 10 install will not work from CD

1st install was not complete-would not work. Uninstalled completely, even regedit.-no trace left. rebooted of course. but it will not install. it wants to uninstall non-existing elements 10.
what to do?

Any chance that you backed up your registry prior to manually editing it? If so please do so.
You can also try running the CS Cleaner tool to attempt to detect any remaining registry entries and try to remove them. You can find details regarding the use of the CS Cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

Will Spotify work from my IPad through Apple TV.

Thinking about purchasing Apple TV and subscribing to Spotify. There seams to be some doubt if it will work. Can anyone advise 100% this will work.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What exactly are you playing, some providers block AirPlay using their content.

Will my work from FCE 4 move to Final Cut Studio easily?

I'm upgrading from FCE 4 to Final Cut Studio. I'm assuming I'll be able to bring over all my FCE 4 work right into Final Cut Studio. Is this a complicated or impossible process?

FireFox will not work from a first time install

Question
Loaded firefox for the first time, installation complete, icon on desktop, program tries to open when clicked as the hourglass icon is visible for a moment, then nothing happens. I watch the process tree, firefox is visible for a moment then disappears, followed by drwtsn32 momentarily.

I called the state's technical support and was informed:
1) That it is a hit or miss possibility for Safari and Firefox to work properly with this site; and,
2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
There is your answer. Many US Government sites are the same - they simply WILL NOT follow the necessary web standards to make them Apple and/or Safari compliant.
The only thing you can try is to go to Safari's Develop Menu and try using Internet Explorer as the User Agent.

HT4437 Airplay on apple tv works from my ipod touch but will not work from my macbook pro. Any thoughts on wht the problem may be?

any idea on what the problem is?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Does your MacBook meet the specifications for AirPlay
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.

PRINTER WON'T WORK FROM THE IPAD BUT WILL FROM MY IMAC

Using a PowerBook on a cruise ship

Hi everyone,
I'm currently on board Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas and frustrated because I can't use my PowerBook to connect to its WIFI service. I've found other frustrated PowerBook and iBook owners with the same problem and the help desk keeps saying the network is only for computers running Windows.
I know from reading cruise-related message boards that other Mac users have been able to use the WIFI service. I'm hoping there is someone on here who has had success doing that and can post the network configuration, if they can remember.
Thanks in advance!

What are the instructions for windows users? we can
start there and see if we can talk you through the
set-up. There aren't windows only networks.. just ill
informed network techs
You also might want to try the airport forums:

Don't let this ruin your vacation.. go out and get
some sun for those of us here at work
Thanks, Sandman, for the quick response but my Internet minutes ran out shortly after my post. I'm back on shore now and had a great cruise despite the inability to get my PowerBook connected.
There were no instructions for getting online... they said launching a browser would automatically connect you to their WIFI service and you just had to log in.
It was very frustrating for myself and two iBook owners who specifically brought our laptops after reading from other cruise-ship passengers who reported successfully they were able to use their Macs on board.
The ship's IT staff repeated their system only supports Windows -- which is a crock, as you suggested -- and wouldn't even try to help out a Mac user. One fellow cruise passenger said the IT guy she spoke to had a look of horror on his face when "Mac" was brought into the conversation.
No doubt Royal Caribbean does not wish to support Mac computers and therefore tells people plainly that their system does not work with Macs. It's ironic that its corporate web site is designed to work with Safari.
Myself and the other Mac users that were on board plan to write letters/e-mail and complain about the lack of support for Mac users.
Thanks again for your reply. I didn't even think to post my question on the Airport forum, which would've been more appropriate.
Cheers!

IPad Use on Cruise Ships

We have a Princess Cruise booked for mid May and wonder if we should
take the MBP or the iPad. I have heard cruise ship internet is as slow
as old dialup and pretty expensive..
Can you pop mail from a cruise ship or do you only have access to
web mail accounts?

It's slow, VERY slow. On Carnival, I paid $100 for a set number of minutes (can't remember how many). Receiving mail via POP will drag on forever. I simply remoted to my computer at home, opened Outlook and downloaded my mail, or used Webmail. This was via a PC though. But an iPad sould be able to connect just the same.
I had my iPad, but it was just for entertainment. Wifey and I love playing scrabble on it in the evening, and on the plane rides.
