Best option for wifi for 15 days visit in UK

My wife and I are visiting the Uk for 15 days in sept/oct landing at Gatwick. We need wifi for 2 cellphones and 2 laptops. what would be our best option? I see on your Q&A that you need to unlock your phone for sim cards to work. How do we do that?

You need to unlock your phones with their own providers, if indeed they are locked.
You don't need SIMs to use public or any WiFi.

Is there an antenna booster for wifi for ipad???

Looking to boost my wifi range. Is there an antenna booster for wifi for ipad

There is no such thing for the iPad AFAIK. You could, however, get a signal booster for your wireless router.

HT3867 Is it possible to pay for wifi for my iPod touch?

I had heard that you can pay for wifi on your iPod but haven't figured out how. I want to have Internet access at all times and not just when I'm near the router. Is this even possible to get with an iPod touch?

No.
You would ahve to be near a wi-fi router and have access/permission ot use that router/network.
You can buy a my-fi device form a wireless carrier that recieves a cell signal and allows you to use it via a built-in wi-fi router.

Best Option (if any) for Load Balancing Distribution Point(s) on Same LAN

Hey Guys -
I've got a simple question this time. We use SCCM 2012 R2, manage ~800 systems at 3 locations, but perform most work at our main office where this scenario takes place. Here, we have a single DP on-site which is a separate VM than our Primary
which is also local.
Recently, our PC Lab tried running our OSD TS on 16 systems which were each started 1-2 minutes apart. When run on a single brand new PC connected via GB network, the OSD TS takes a couple of hours to complete so with 16 it really caused some
issues. We had a couple of Programs/Packages/Applications which actually timed out due to the default 120 minute max run time. We don't usually image 16 at a time, but often do 2-3 at once so are looking to find a solution to speed things up anyways.
My Question
What is the best solution / method for implementing any type of load balancing on a single LAN? I'm not asking for true load balancing, but simply any solution where multiple systems running a TS can pull from more than a single local source if possible.
We do not use multicasting and from what I've been told it will not be a possibility as it causes havoc on networks so it's out. I know that some clients can share content depending on deployment configuration, but don't know how / if this applies to OSD
Task Sequences.
Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!
Ben K.

Agree, 16 machines is not a lot. I would normally go for about 2000 machines per DP depending on pkg/img size etc. Whats the size of that rebuild? Image + packages? Do you do a full DL before starting or is it started from WinPE?
Our BranchCache tools will of course help, regardless of how fast your gig link is since data will be pulled from more sources, but think your issue is more network related? If the images is 5 gig and you add another 5 gig of packges in the sequence a 1Gb/s
link should pull that 16 * 10GB=160GB in about half an hour. So think dont think you are having 1Gb/s from server to clients.

What is the best option for working live off external hard drive?

I have 3 iMacs all networked together and working off 1TB of files stored on an old MacPro. I'm wondering what my best option would be for upgrading moving forward. I need more space (preferable 2TB or more) and I'd like the connection to be as fast as possible. A server seems like overkill ...
I have an external 3TB WD Cloud backing up all of the files, but it's far too slow to work off of live as it needs to 'wake up' every time I ping it.
Would running a 'headless' Mini directly off my router work? Or perhaps attached to one of the iMacs?
Other options?
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Ive always followed the idea that journalling is turned off, so I would follow the advice given and turn journalling off.
In addition I would also make that drive "private" to spotlight so it doesn't search or catalogue there.
If its of interest, I've always formatted my drives in the following way
make 2 partitions,
partition 1 - make this about 10% of the drives capacity and label DO NOT USE
partition 2 - make this the remainder of the capacity
the reason being (So Im told by the drive gurus) is that the first sector contains the volumes boot block - this can get corrupted/damaged so having it partitioned like this means you can erase it safely whilst keeping your media.
Ive followed this for years and it has worked on the few occasions a drive has misbehaved.
cheers
Andy

What is the best option to get a wireless connection please?

Hi, I have a 1.6 GHz G5 with Tiger (soon to install Leopard).
I currently have broadband through an ethernet cable but I want to set up wireless. My understanding so far is that I need either an airport card or an external device such as airport express (in the system profiler it says no info found under AirPort card).
Can someone please tell me if I am correct and if so, what is the best option to buy for my G5 model?
Thanks very much
Adam

BD, I declare an interest!
Look here if you would: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4229088?tstart=60
I like the look of the one in your third link, but the only similar one I can find in the UK is this:

but it comes with a 3 inch CD which is utterly useless to me!
If you can confirm that the MXP2802GU2 will work for me I will buy that!
TIA

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

#1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
#2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
#3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
#4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

Apple should release an option for $1 per day on wifi hotspot mode

some people (like me) only need a wifi hotspot for a few days or maybe a week. instead of paying $20 why not pay for the amount of days you use it. It seems that lots more people would use it because it is more convient and more people would buy the iPhone. this would also be great for when the internet goes down for a day, and internet is in need.

Apple has no involvement with how much you pay for mobile hotspot or other features. Your carrier sets those rates and policies. Talk to them.

Best option for initial setup of HD's on Xserve (possible RAID)

I'm just about to set up a new network in a new office and have an Xserve with 3 HD's 2x700GB and 1x500GB drive.
Now i have a fair bit of experience with the server itself, however i have zero experience with RAID.
I would like to start automatic backups of the OS (which i do already in a round about way). And have several share points for users network homes and data.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to setup the HD's themselves, should i RAID? what would be the best option? etc etc etc.
All suggestions are very welcome and appreciated.
Thanks
Steven

No one can answer your question - at least not without more information.
When deciding disk layout you need to factor things like how much usable disk space you need - in this case for users' data. Are the users home directories on the server, or do they just upload files to the server for storage/backup?
What's the intensity of the data? Is reliability or performance more important? Would you pull your hair out if you lost a single file? a day's work? a week's work?
How much downtime could you tolerate if the server crashed?
These questions (and probably more) are important because it helps focus on the needs. For example, if the integrity of the data is more important than uptime you could mirror the two 700 GB drives for the user data and install the OS on the single 1TB drive. Of course this leaves you (slightly) vulnerable to a problem on the OS disk and you could be offline for hours if that disk failed. However, your user data would be mirrored and likely protected from disk failure.
On the other hand, if the uptime of the server is more important, you might opt to install the OS on the 700GB mirror, using the 1TB for user data, relying on backups to restore this disk if it fails.
Or, you might decide to put everything (OS and data) on the 700GB mirror, using the 1TB as the backup destination.
On the other hand you might determine that you need 1TB of user storage space, in which case you either need to use the 1TB for user data, or you need to stripe the two 700GB drives into a 1.4TB array, but then that array has no redundancy and the loss of a single disk will result in the loss of all data.
So, as I said, there is no one single answer to your question. You'll need to balance storage capacity and redundancy to find the best match for you.

Best option for file storage

I want to archive some of my CAD files and other files on a 'by year' basis. Is a flash drive a good option? They seem neat but then again they are a bit small & could get lost. Any ideas on the best option these days?

A 2.5" external hard drive will hold MUCH more and still fit in a shirt pocket should you choose. Lots of storage for a reasonable price. Remember to make backups of whatever meda you choose. You don't want your files to be in just one place.

Best Option for Lightroom as an Educator

I am an athletic director at Chiawana High School and our program is needing to purchase Lightroom. My wife volunteers and takes photos at every varsity event. She currently uses CS5 to edit all the pictures but we are wanting lightroom as it would better fit our needs. We only need it on her computer and are wondering what our best option is at this time.

I have taught using Lightroom since the time it was in beta, so I think I could help you with this question and maybe others, if you find they arise. If you are purchasing this for your school I would recommend you purchase a single copy from a vendor such as Journeyed.com. It is currently 78.99. http://www.journeyed.com/item/Adobe/Photoshop+Lightroom/1562764
If you are purchasing it personally and then want to add it to your wife's computer, then you could still purchase the single copy, but I would recommend you look into the Adobe Creative Cloud for Photographers. It is currently 9.99 a month for Lightroom and Photoshop CC Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
Good luck to you both.

Best option for Croatia vacation

Hi there! I'm traveling to Croatia next week (live in the U.S.), and I'm hoping to find the best option to use Skype over wifi to stay connected while I'm there. What are your thoughts on the lowest cost option?

Hi there! I'm traveling to Croatia next week (live in the U.S.), and I'm hoping to find the best option to use Skype over wifi to stay connected while I'm there. What are your thoughts on the lowest cost option?
What are you wanting to do with Skype? Call back to the USA? Call phones in Croatia (or other places in Europe)? Receive calls from back in the USA while in Croatia?
The lowest-cost option would be to use Skype to communicate with other Skype users, when you are on WiFI or other sort of Internet connection not tied to a US-based mobile phone. Skype-to-Skype calls are free, including one-on-one video chats. Then what do you want to do - call back to the US? If so, two options are available... purchase some Skype Credit and pay as you make calls, at the US rate of 2.3 US cents/minute plus a connection fee per call. More on the per-call pricing is available at the "Pay As You Go" link at the bottom of this web page. If you think you'll need to be on the phone a lot, the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month is a great deal. Click on "Subscriptions" below for more on that option.
Do you want to receive calls from back home with your Skype account? A US-based Online Number is an option. You can purchase numbers in most US states and area codes, in 3- or 12-month increments. Click on "Online Number" below for more about that.
If you have a mobile phone or tablet that can run the Skype app, you can use that wherever you have access to the Internet. US-based mobile phones, including 3G tablets tied to a US mobile carrier, could lead to a very expensive bill from your mobile carrier when you return home. Use WiFi wherever you can to avoid that. If you must use a mobile phone while in Croatia, you may want to purchase a cheap phone with prepaid SIM card over there. That may work out very well for calls in Croatia, rather than run up roaming charges using a US-based mobile phone in a foreign country.
Anything else?

Best option for bb and phone, i have moved but don...

Hi
I have moved into a friends house for four months but dont need to move my existing bb and phone as i can use theres. My question is whats the best option to keep my current package with bt without moving it or cancelling it. Also i dont want anyone that may move into my old property to use my bt services.
Would be great if a BT employee could give me an email
cheers

This is a user to user forum so you won`t get an official reply from a BT Employee without contacting the forum moderators.
I believe that BT can make your phone line either Outgoing Calls Barred or Temporary Out Of Service. You will still have to pay your normal phone/broadband charges.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Best option for replacing a faulty ATI Radeon x 2600 XT 256mb

My graphics card has just packed up, and I am struggling to find anybody at the Apple Technical Support service to give me a straight answer.
I am not a gamer, and only require a card that will allow me day today use and for general camcorder editing (novice level).
I had an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT - standard install. in my MacPro (early 2008) 2.8Ghz, Dual Quad Intel chipset, OSX 10.6 (snow leopard).
Can anyone recommend the best option for ATI card, as I have read theyh perform better than the Nvidia cards.

I'd get ATI HD Radeon 4870 Mac Edition from Apple.
The GT is more like spare or for 3 monitors. Why or how Nvidia got that card to be adopted as the OEM standard in a workstation, and not say GTS/GTX 200 series is, beyond me. One year ATI, next year Nvidia gets the "prize" seems to be the order of the day.
Nvidia drivers have been a problem for Apple for years, the GTX 285 would do some serious damage to 3D and CS4/5. Two dual width card design the way a Quadro CX handles CS4 for Windows to do realtime image rendering instantly.
I wouldn't flash unless you like to dabble or want to learn. In which case a 1GB card would make more sense.
Surprised though the manager didn't steer you toward the 4870.
