Buying in US, bringing back to UK

Hello
What are the complications of buying an iPod in NYC and using it in the UK? I'll need a plug but apart from that will warranty still be ok? Anything else I might want to consider because some friends are flying to NYC next week and I can save about £80 by getting them to buy me one while they're there. Also, where's the best place for them to go to get me a new iPod?
Thanks

I bought my brother an iPod from New York just a few weeks ago. The limited 1year Apple warranty is international so you're covered with that. If you were to buy AppleCare then that wouldn't be valid, so wait til you get home if you wish to do that. Everything else is fine.
I recommend buying from the Apple Store on 5th Ave. The glass cube store. It's an amazing building, a great experience; where better to buy your iPod?! The other Apple store is in Soho.
The prices between apple stores and other retailers are the same, i didn't find anywhere ipods for less than standard RRP. Have a great time!

Using US ipad in the UK and buying iphone 4 in the US to bring back to UK

I am thinking of buying a ipad 2 in the US when I visit there to bring back to the UK. I will then be heading home to Australia next year. Can someone help me to confirm:
1) is there any issues (eg power differences, adaptors, getting wifi set up) buying an ipad in the US and then using it in the UK? Do I just need to get a UK Sim (can you get a prepaid sim for ipads rather than locking into a contract?) I was going to buy the 16gb wifi on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC769LL-Tablet-Black-NEWEST/dp/tech-data/B0013FRNKG/ ref=de_a_smtd, this seems to be pretty much the same spec as the US version on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC769LL-Tablet-Black-NEWEST/dp/tech-data/B0013FRNKG/ ref=de_a_smtd only difference I can see is the UK version says '
Wireless Connectivity: 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR' and the US version says '
Wireless Type: 802.11abg '
2) I presume if there's no issues for 1), then there shouldn't be any issues when I return to Australia.
3) Is it possible to buy the iphone 4 handset in the US and then use it in the UK?
thanks guys

If you are getting the wifi ony version then you don't need a sim card - you only need a micro-sim card for the 3G/wifi versions. If you do get a 3G version in the US then get the AT&T version as they are GSM/sim based; the Verizon model is CDMA based and doesn't use sim cards.
Wifi is the same.
I don't know whether the iPhones are locked or not.

Why would you want a 3rd-generation iPad when the new fourth-generation iPad is faster, has better WiFi and a better camera at the same price?

Bring back PDF Portfolio option to Acrobat Standard!

We are refreshing some department computers with newer models through Dell. These new computers come with Adobe Acrobat X Std on them. This works fine for most people until today. Our one department had their older XP computers replaced with new Win 7 machines and Adobe Acrobat X standard. They were dependant on a feature to right click on a bunch of PDFs and combine them. They need the portfolio option because a regular combine will overwrite values in forms because "they have the same name". This worked fine on the OLD machines with Adobe 9.5 Standard.
So on the new computers with Acrobat X Standard, this portfolio option is gone! This is needed for their job!
Now I am scrambling to deactivate and uninstall X standard from the new computers ,and deactivate and uninstall 9.5 from the old ones. Using Belarc Advisor to obtain the product key, I can reinstall it on the new computers, along with running all the umpteen patches to get 9.0 back up to the latest version. Not only that but the right click context menu is gone, so I had to research that and find the command to get it back -> regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu64.dll"
After doing some research it seems you have to spend extra money on a X or XI "professional" version, just to get a feature that was included in 9 STANDARD. Shopping around the best price I could find was over at NewEgg for $120. Multiple that by the people who need it, were looking at good amount of money to get back a single feature we had before!
So were going right back to Acrobat 9 standard because it does what we need it to do. My plea to adobe is to bring back the portfolio feature! Either that or don't screw up the contents of forms in a standard combine!
Is this the latest trend that new versions of software are designed to take away features or functionality that people depend on? I mean even Windows 8 takes away the start menu (I know there's freeware to get it back). Please don't stoop to Microsoft's level and remove thign's people depend on.

We are also going through some of the issues with Acrobat standard being gutted. In acrobat 9 standard we have some processes that used a function called "Export Multiple Files.." This allowed you function through a wizard to select as many files of many file types as you wanted and export them to a ton of file formats. I use this on a daily basis and now i am being told it is not available in the standard version. If i buy the PRO version it is available, but what will keep Adobe from from removing this from the Next version of PRO and call that PLATNUM or somthing. This not the way to treat long time customer who pay for and have developed many process using the tool. It is also sad to learn that Portfolio option is no longer available. We will have to go back to 9 until they figure this out. What a massive screw up.

BRING BACK THE BEST EVER!

I don't understand WHY Adobe would buy the bestever software
and NOT USE it?!
FreeHand had Layers BEFORE Photoshop and many others!!
It also had Style Sheets, Superior Tools, and multiple pages
which Illustrator still doesn't have!!??
PLEASE BRING BACK FREEHAND, I'M SUFFERING THROUGH

You guys have to remember that its only been a few years
since Macromedia changed hands to Adobe. I've been a user of FH
since it was Aldus FH in the late 80's and AI since 3.0 and have
seen them both grow just like any other software and every time
they changed hands they got better because of software
integrations.
You dont' buysoemthing becasue you want tothrow it away
youwant touse it to your advantage Adobe is big and not because
they go around killing other companies.
I beleive AI has many new features that resemble FH but the
multi page is a big pain in the bahooky I agree and the drawing
tools well like using a swiss army knife and one tool needs to be
put away before the next can come out. FH still has alot of cons
which leads me to believe that they are not done with AI and things
will change. How else do you think they will sell the new CS4.
Look at Image Ready, Adobe gave that the boot and I thought
it was pretty bad *** but when I saw why and took a look at
Fireworks I said well looky there and well with whole Dream Weaver
working practically seamlessly with PS, I just had to switch from
MS Expression Web to Adobe Web Premium. I've been using MSFP since
98 and switched to MSEW and well I'll leave that nightmare of a
quagmire alone.
I think Adobe has made a great effort to keep Macromedia's
strengths alive Like Flash and how they integrated PSDs and AI
files dynamically and well not to mention the After Effects
workflow with Flash and heaven almighty I almost forgot how Encore
can output a completed DVD and all of the menus to a flash SWF file
crack-a-laken I say.
I know it sounds like I'm cheerleading but I am not they did
a good thing. I have always been a proponent of Macromedia but when
you look at the big picture Adobe truley has gone the distance with
the Macormedia products.
I am still holding out for all of the FH cons to be added to
AI. I mean how else do think they are going to get us to upgrade to
AI CS4 or what ever they call it.
I still use FH11 and it works fantastical and will probably
never uninstall it less AI becomes Adobe Free Hand Illustrator and
I mean truley the best of both.
I think it will happen they'ld be stupid not to. Cha-Ching!

Bring back the 5th gen.

Honestly, I didn't know where to put this.
But I really dislike the new iPod nanos.
And I can't find any of the 5th gen.
So I say to Apple:
Please bring back the 5th gen nanos!

Or you could buy the iPad, that has a way, way bigger screen.
Going to be really tough to put controls on that size screen and still be able to see what is happening. Could make game play really challenging.
Yes, Apple did make a big deal out of the video capability, but in the final analysis they could not keep pace with Flip and I doubt anybody actually bought a 5th Generation Nano because it had less than mediocre video capabilities. I use the video on mine about 3 times. Nice novelty.
Glad you think the 5th Generation was the epitome of the Nano, and you can buy from Amazon, or buy refurbished. At least while they are still available. I thought the most recent iteration of the Thunderbird was a nice car. Apparently not enough people agreed with me. I also thought the Adventures of Briscoe County was a great show. Fox? Not so much, nor did it have any ratings.
I like working out with my 6th Generation Nano, it is small, I can see the screen to change playlists rather than use VoiceOver, I can check the time, I can set timers. Hard to do all of these things with the Shuffle (although I actually run with my Shuffle instead). Honestly, the 6th Generation is far superior to the Shuffle when working out at the gym. I'm guessing you don't work out much. Honestly, it is much better and is just how things should be in my opinion.
Ever here of a thing called supply and demand? Ever collect anything? Ever buy artwork? Once an item is no longer available and there is a demand for it then it will sell at above list price. You can buy the refurbished ones for less than the new 5th Generation Nano and they are just as good, if not superior to, the new ones.
But in the end who knows. Apple went back to the 2nd Generation Shuffle design with the 4th Generation so maybe you will get your wish with the 7th Generation Nano. Wait until September.

Bring Back the TX!

The TX is exactly what I need. I have been a happy customer of the TX since it first came out. My one and only complaint is that the touchscreen goes bad quickly. If you fixed that, this is the only device I ever want to carry!
With the Outside the Box keyboard, it is like having a laptop that entirely fits in my pocket. When people see me using it they love it and want one for themselves.
When I want a cell phone, I want a real cell phone, not one that is a combination of a bad cell phone and a bad PDA.
When I want a camera, I want a real camera, not a bad camera, a bad cell phone and a bad PDA.
I have exactly ZERO interest in buying any of the new "smart phones". I have looked at them all, and none does what I get now from my Palm TX:
1) A large, bright, high resolution screen
2) An operating system with tons of free, open source software
3) I use it with my Outside the Box wireless keyboard to take notes and write e-mails on a full-sized keyboard. It is the equivalent of a laptop and it folds and fits in my pocket.
4) I can browse the web with free wi-fi in many places
5) I can receive, save and send e-mails with free wi-fi. Again, the Outside the Box keyboard lets me use a full-sized keyboard that fits in my pocket. I do not do texting or other absurd user interfaces. Never.
6) I have a bunch of cheap SD cards that have my entire music library. I can copy any MP3 onto the card and play it. The music or other audio will play for many hours on a charge.
7) I can copy video files onto the cards and play them with better than TV resolution
8) Video games, chess, you name it. See #2.
9) I can back up on memory cards and on my PC.
10) All the vital, simple PDA things, done well and done simply: Calendar, Contacts, Memos, Tasks
If you ever want me back as a Palm customer, here is all you have to do:
1) Bring back the TX.
2) Fix the touchscreen so it lasts.
Until then, I have zero interest in the "new, improved" stuff you are selling.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Plus there is the aaa battery format, so I don't have to worry about proprietary batteries, and the fact that I can plug it into any computer anywere and use it as a flash drive.
Bring it back.
The replacement v200 or 00 wasn't so great because they didn't come with loops to hang, and didn't come with belt cli

Is there a way to bring back the "Open a New Tab" option via right-clicking on the Tab?

I just upgraded to latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday it informed me that an upgrade to Firefox 5.(something) was available and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I went for it. However, I hadn't used it since then till today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for it too.
While this version looks nice, it feels a bit odd to use it. Previously whenever I wanted to open a new Tab, I right-clicked on any of the Tabs (active tab or any other Tab) and after right-clicking, it had the option to '''''Open a New Tab''''' along with few other options. Now there's no such option. There's the + button to open a new tab, but what if I want to open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it? Similarly the option to Open in New Window is also missing.
Is there a way to bring back those previous Tab options/settings? If yes, how?
P.S. In my bookmark toolbar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as it previously had in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I'd upgraded to version 5.something I hadn't used it except for opening the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on right clicking the bookmark icon are:
Open
Open in a New Tab
Open in a New Window
New Bookmark...
New Folder...
New Separator
Cut
Copy
Paste
Delete
Properties
I'd also like to mention here that I know of the shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time by trying to help me that way. Thanks.

No. The Tab bar is a regular toolbar in current Firefox versions, so you get the normal right-click context menu of a toolbar if you right-click the tab bar.
You can double click on empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button.<br />
You can drag a link on that new tab button to open that link in a new tab.<br />
You can also drag the new tab button on another toolbar if you would like that better.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />

Hi richmc. I will only deal with the last part of your message.
You say that you want to use Outlook 2007 to collect your mail. That is not a problem, it is just an email client. BT do not supply this email client. Microsoft do.
You cannot expect BT to be able to assist customers with all the different email clients available to use. You can get the server details etc to set it up yourself.
Most ISP's are the same on support issues for things that they do not supply.
BT do have a paid support service if you did want to use it but for things like email setup it should not be needed.
You also say that you have your own domain names. These NEED to be hosted somewhere to be able to use them for email.
I don't believe that BT do hosting anymore(Could be wrong). So you would need to get in touch with a hosting company, someone like Nethosting, 1&1, GoDaddy etc to set up an email hosting account and then set up your email client to your hosting companies email servers.

Syncing a moved folder is not bringing back all the photos to Lightroom

I have moved and renamed a folder in the external harddrive. Syncing that moved folder in lightroom is not working in bringing back all the photos to Lightroom - Although all the photos exist in that folder as I have confirmed through windows explorer.
Another Option: If I choose "import photos to this folder option" in LR and browse to the source to that folder - the missing photos are shown as shaded back and the import button (bottom right corner) is not highlighted. Therefore I cannot select these missing photos and hence cannot import them to the folder.
PLEASE ADVISE!

In the Folders Panel, the original folder should be listed with a "?" mark, because Lightroom can no longer find it. Right-click on it, select "Find Missing Folder", then browse to and select the renamed folder in its new location.
Note....these type of problems will continue to happen if you continue to rename and/or move folders or files outside of Lightroom. Do it using Lightroom and no such problems will arise.

Bring Back the Apple MB869LL/A (A1242) Wired Compact USB Keyboard

I know Wireless and Bluetooth are great technologies! I know Apple makes it relatively easy to change batteries in their devices (magic mice and keyboards)!
However, I am running a few elementary school computer labs where we have many iMac computers and limited space.
One of my major obstacles from keeping these computers reliably operational is keeping keyboards alive with fresh batteries (We have wired mice). Also, since table space is limited, the standard FULL SIZE keyboards (with the numerical 10-key) takes space away from the mouse. A 10-key at this elementary school age level is really unnecessary.
It would be ideal if Apple could bring back their older version of the Aluminum Keyboard that was compact AND USB wired! The old model number was MB869LL/A (A1242).
These options are all that is currently available and neither is ideal:
FULL SIZED Wired Keyboard (that is too wide and the 10-key is unncessary): Wired Aluminum Keyboard MB110LL/B USB with Numeric Keypad
COMPACT Wireless Keyboard (that changing the batteries is too time consuming when you have 100's of computers in a lab to deal with):
Wireless Aluminum Keyboard A1314 Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, MC184LL/B
Looking for a compact, non-10-key, WIRED, USB, Apple compatible keyboard (that has brightness and volume controls built-in).
Anyone else support this efffort, please chime in (or offer alternate solutions or compatible hardware).
Thanks,
Elementary School Challenged!

"Looking for a compact, non-10-key, WIRED, USB, Apple compatible keyboard (that has brightness and volume controls built-in)."
Depending on your budget, you can find just about anything you want if you check the internet for computer peripherals. The biggest problem with the keyboard that you want would be its high price tag and finding a large (new-in-box) supply of them. I'm never surprised at the availability of keyboards that were never used with the computers that they shipped with. After Apple discontinued the ADB extended keyboards, I was still able to find new ones for my older fleet of beige G3s. As a less expensive alternative - but one that excludes your preference for brightness and volume controls - you may wish to consider a reasonably-priced, USB-wired keyboard for PCs, like the compact one shown at this eBay auction. A PC keyboard will work with a Mac, except for any programmable function/media keys that are part of the Windows software installed with the keyboard. One distinction between an Apple and a PC keyboard is the placement/juxtaposition of the two keys on either side of the space bar: The Windows logo key and the Alt key. When used with a Mac, the Windows key becomes the Apple Command key and the Alt key is the Option/Alt key. For your use, perhaps you could place a permanent sticker with the Apple "Command" symbol on the Windows key. In an elementary school lab, the stickers might be peeled off as soon as you've replaced them - which would be a nuisance.

Bring back iTunes syncing feature back!

I don't mean to be the stickler, but I cannot believe Apple decided to force us to use iCloud for syncing contacts. If i had known that upgrading to Maverick would have caused such, I would never have done so. I have a lot of personal and sensitive information on my iPhone. I don't want such information to be stored at any cloud platform. In fact, I prefer iPhone over Android phones for this feature (allowing users to decide whther they will use syncing via iTunes versus via iCloud). Now that feature is gone, I am in need of retracting back to the previou version of iTunes or Mountain Lion OS. Otherwise, I will need to start looking into if Android platform allows such. I want choices especially when sensitivie information is involved. How often do we hear about someone hacking into some corporate data hub? I don't want to risk.
Please bring back the feature to sync via iTunes!

Mike,
First of all, I am grateful for the message you posted. At least you cared enough to provide your input.
Secondly, I am not so concerned about losing data. Because, such data reside in my macbook pro, my ipad, my iphone, and my backup of the macbook pro hard drive. So, I am okay in that front.
As far as someone taking my devices, they are password protected with non-simple (not just 4 digits standard setting) password along with features such as "Erase Data" turned on for so many failed attempts.
Given, such I have to stand by my first request to Apple if they would reconsider giving back the feature. For my peace of mind...
Thanks again for your input.

Is there a way to bring back the actual tab "bar"?

So in switching from FF3.6 to 5.0 I have noticed that the actual "bar" that holds the tabs is gone.
Observe:
[http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg]
It's visually slightly annoying to not have a distinct separator between the tab area and the button toolbar, but that is something I can live with.
However I can NOT live with the extremely annoying functionality drawback that comes as a result of this. In 3.X and before you could right click anywhere in the tab bar and it would bring up the tab management menu. Now you can't bring up the menu from empty space because it treats that space as part of the rest of the UI and gives you a different menu, forcing you to mouse all the way over to a tab to accomplish the same end.
So my question is, does anyone know of a way, or an addon, that can bring back the actual tab bar? I find all of these UI changes to be nothing short of infuriating. I swear, Mozilla, Facebook, Pandora, Google, and Microsoft must all be in cahoots with each other because they're all introducing horrible UI designs at the same time.

Well I guess that's kind of cool that you can add buttons in the bar as well, but I honestly don't have a use for that and I think it would get in the way more often than not in most scenarios I can think of (there's a reason buttons were segregated from the tab bar and it wasn't tech limitations). The previous functionality is much more convienent and useful and, well, functional.
As for why FF5, well I've had the FF5 installation since before 6.0 was out, but the UI changes angered me so much that I abandoned it after about 20 minutes and went back to using my 3.6 installation; I've been letting the community stew and cook up solutions to the UI problems (status4evar for example) and like any good stew, giving it more time is better. Also a whole bunch of my addons (some of which are mission-critical to my browsing needs) were not [and a small few are still not] compatible with anything above 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x so I had to wait for those (mmm, stew). And then to top it off I figure the possibility that I'll run into upgrade problems is smaller if I go through the chain of updates rather than jumping from 3.6 straight to 7. And don't get me started on the whole rapid release schedule. :P

Bring back calendar list view in iOS!!

If you, like me, have just upgraded to the latest iOS 7.1, you will quickly notice that Apple has made another change to the calendar app by adding a hybrid view, which allows you to see the calendare and list view, but the list view is only for the current day selected!
At least in the previous version, you could still see list view by selecting search, but now even this functionality is gone!
For me, the list view is the most efficient way of seeing my appointments, calendar events etc, to get a good sense of what's going on.
In my view, a calendar with dots on it has no value, you get minimal information on your appointments.
An Apple fail! Bring back list view!!
In the meantime, are there any third party apps that display a list view calendar?
I mainly use it for google calendar and tripit calendar.

Carlo,
It is still there, just different.
When in the day view, touch the List View icon I have circled in the following image:
