Best iPhone 5 external antenna solution for use in a vehicle Australia

I will be doing a fair bit of driving through regional Australia where Telstra (and other telco) reception is very poor to non existent without using some kind of antenna to increase reception range. From my research I have found several solutions, my pick being the smoothtalker cradle and high gain 6.5dB antenna.  I would like to know if anyone has experience with this particular solution as well as other solutions other people are using or know of. Thanks in advance.

I have a friend that uses the Wilson Cell Phone Vehicle Signal Booster in poor reception areas. It claims to boost reception by as much as 25 times. Not sure about all that but it certainly helps!

  • External Touch Screen for use with x220 running Tablet PC for XP

    I've been tasked to purchase an external touch monitor for use the the x220 running Tablet PC for XP but the monitor specs typically show "Windows Vista/Win7" supported. Will any touch monitor correctly work with this OS? Any recommendations?

    Hello,
    I would imagine you would need to find a touch-enabled screen that has device drivers for Microsoft Windows XP available for it.

  • How can I convert my music, and CDs to MP3, for use in my vehicle's AM/FM/ Stereo? I have a 16 GB SDHC Card, that I would like to load up with some of my music.

    Thanks for any help you can furnish.

    Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
    Just go to iTunes Preferences.  Click on the General icon.  Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD.  Click on Import Settings.  Set Import to MP3 decoder.  Make sure you're using Good Quality.
    This should deal with your CD's.
    With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version.

  • Single best external storage solution for Mac Pro & MacBook Pro ...?

    Hello,
    I'm still waiting for the Mac Pro delivery I have around me something like four external hard drives from different vendors and different sizes and all containing important data ... it is really a mess, cables, lack of redundancy, etc.
    I wanted to replace all these once and for all by a single elegant long-lasting and reliable solution to combine with my new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro. The best I could find was OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 8.0TB containing four internal HDD in double RAID with multiple possible setups: RAID 0 and RAID 1, RAID 10 configurations:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEQX2T8.0S/
    Looks like an excellent choice for the only one external storage solution! does anyone has experience with this model? are there better contenders?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    Giovanni

    Giovanni,
    I have the OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 (6 TB) external HD array in a Raid 5 configuration (as received from OWC). I have found it to be excellent when connected to my Mac Pro using a PCI SATA card and the SATA output on the Elite-AL Pro Qx2. The speed of the system under Raid 5 easily supports all but uncompressed high definition video, and the system came with Prosoft's Data Backup software which does an excellent job of backing up other external drives installed on my Mac Pro.
    I highly recommend the Qx2 and think you will find it is a good single source solution to providing you with reliable and safe storage for your data. With Raid 5 if one of the HD's in the Qx2 fails, you simply remove it and allow the system to rebuild the data when you insert a new HD. Thus unless two HD's fail simultaneously (high unlikely) you are protected against data loss. Note also that your Mac Pro does not have to be left on while the Qx2 is rebuilding.

  • What's the best external backup solution for the 2011 MacBook Air?

    I'm really considering moving to a new 2011 13" MacBook Air for my primary machine and I'm curious to know what ya'll might suggest for the ideal backup solution.
    Currently I use a Firewire 800 drive with my MacBook Pro consisting of a Bootable OS backup, Media volume backup, Time Machine backup + blank volume for files.
    The current external options available —Thunderbolt release date anyone?—are: USB 2.0 and Time Capsule. Lately—and a first up until now—I've started thinking about potentialy moving my backup solution online. I'm curious if anyone has experience with an affordable, simple, online solution?
    Also, don't suppose any kind of storage solutions could utilize the SD card slot in any way?
    I look forward to hearing about your backup solutions!
    All the best,
    —Jordan

    Redundancy is more important than speed when it comes to backup.
    I like a have a clone of my internal drive to an external drive of the same size. If your internal drive fails you can boot from your external clone. I use SuperDuper!
    If your data is important to you, you should keep a backup off-site and have more than one backup set.
    Cloud storage is an option if you have fast broadband and small data volumes.
    I like the simplicity of Time Machine with Time Capsule for incremental and version backups.
    Rather than invest in Thunderbolt (expensive and fast), invest in redundancy (cheap, slow).

  • Best Practice / Solutions for using 11g DB+x86 or Small Computer to build iaas/paas?

    My customer wants to build their own iaas/paas using Oracle 11g DB, plus x86 or other small computer, running Linux or Solaris or Unix OS.
    Oracle Exadata is not feasible for them to use currently.
    Customer wants to know whether there are other customers have implemented their cloud solution based on these or not?
    If yes, would like to share the experience, presentation slides, best practices etc.
    Is there an Oracle email DL for asking this kind of question?
    Thanks,
    Boris

    Like Rick, I'm not aware of a specific "cloud implementors forum". Internally, Oracle has lots of material on implementing cloud, using any platform at all, although obviously we feel Engineered Systems are the most cost-effective solution for many customers. Are you interested in IaaS i.e. virtualised hardware, or PaaS i.e. DBaaS? They should not be confused, neither is required for the other, in fact, using IaaS to implement "DBaaS", as the OpenStack trove API attempts to do, is probably the most counter-productive way to go about it. Define the business-visible services you will be offering, and then design the most efficient means of supporting them. That way you gain from economies of scale, and set up appropriate management systems that address issues like patching, security, database virtualisation and so on.

  • External Antenna Adapter for Centro?

    I'm looking for an antenna adapter so I can attach an external antenna for my new Centro. I realize that it's brand new, so I haven't seen any specific adapters for it. However, are there other phones (like older Treos) that use the same size?
    If I don't find one, I'll have to return it because the signals are terrible at my house without an antenna.

    AT&T is supposedly experimenting with "femtocells" (I think I spelled that correctly!) 
    Small stations that rebroadcast cellular reception, similar to Wifi routers.

  • Airport Extreme with NTFS external HD solutions for both Mac and Windows

    I recently bought an apple extreme when friends who have them say you can shared both printers and external harddrives really easily. However, it seems I am unable to share my many NTFS harddrives. I see after searching forums that it does not support NTFS but does FAT32.
    One day I will convert all my home laptops to mac's but at the moment I am using XP and Vista for the time being so converting them to the apple format is not an option.
    The problem i have is that if I convert them to FAT32 then I will only be be to have ISO's that are less than 2gig in size, an only be able to format up to 30 gig. If I have a 500 gig disk I'll be left with 470 gig of wasted space that cannot be used.
    Can anyone suggest a good solution for me? perhaps someone has worked out how to format FAT32 greater than 30gb. or perhaps there is another disk format that would be better to use and can be read/write from XP/Vista PC as well as being recognised by Airport extreme. Any help would be good as I am reluctant to get a refund on it, but will have to if I can get it to work with large files/partitions.

    I think I answered my own question. I found this on the web:
    http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
    Seems to suggest that using this third party exe to format it instead of windows inbuilt one will allow for partitions greater than 32GB. So this looks the way to go. And the 2GB limit per file is just for FAT16 not FAT32 apparently, but even if it is I only have a few iso/video files bigger than 2 gig so will just use a splitter on them.
    Hope this is useful to someone else

  • Partitioning an External 320gb drive for use with Time Machine and...

    I want to be able to use my Western Digital 320GB external drive for use with Time Machine and to use as extra storage space on both my Mac and when I boot into Windows Vista.
    Is this possible?
    I was playing around in Disk Utility and would I partition the part I want to use for Time Machine with the Mac OS Journaled, and whatever I want as space for windows, use a MS - DOS format?
    Has anyone done this before?
    Cheers-

    Unless you are using 64 bit version of MSWindows (64 bit XP/Vista), it won't be able to handle a disk with GUID partition table (GPT). Disks with Apple Partition Map (APM) or GUID partition table are the only ones that Time Machine will work with (not MBR disks). Note also that the MBR/APM/GPT are at the DISK level and not the partition level, so don't mix the format with partitioning scheme. Time Machine disks are meant to live in the Mac universe (for now, anyway) and sharing with the MSWindows 32-bit universe is not possible.

  • Best LCD Monitor/TV tuner/DVD for use with MacBook

    hey there Ryan, welcome to discussions!
    it can depend on what you're doing... i've discovered i can't edit in Final Cut Pro 6 using my 42" Sony LCD proj. HDTV, but i can use my 42" Sony to watch DVDs & HD QT content from Apple's site. i can display my e-mail but i can't read it @ 1920x1080i from 10 feet away, i need to use a lower rez. in this instance when Apple says it does/doesn't support something it means their tests have shown best results(does support-23" monitor for any/everything) or you can try but if it doesn't work it's a limitation we can't do anything about(doesn't support-42" does work but not for everything). this is how i've interpreted their specs as i've pushed the envelope for using my MacBook.
    Apple's specs don't support using my 42" Sony, but it does work, just not for everything(like Final Cut Pro) as it falls outside of the "safe zone" of their testing where all of the MacBook's capabilities work well. buy/borrow a cable to try the MacBook w/ your TV or take the Macbook to a Store to see what you get.
    good luck.

  • Need solution for using Symbol LRT3840 with Apps 10.7 and/or 11i?

    Any suggestions for using Symbol's scanner/terminal with Oracle 10.7 and/or 11i? The symbol unit runs a telnet session (with a 1/4 viewable area). I'm looking for some alternate screen templates and/or a software solution that will allow me to remap the existing full screen forms so all critical information is displayed on the symbol unit in the allowable viewing area. I understand that version 11i of Oracle Apps does not support character-based telnet sessions, so I'm also interested in a fix that will be transparent to my material handlers when we upgrade from 10.7 to 11i. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    We are developing solutions in that area.
    If we can know more of the exisitng solution you have implemented or PDA and how it is integrated with Oracle Application(whether it is a third party tool?)
    then we can discuss about arriving at a solution.
