The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) does NOT require connectivity to the Internet if order for you to access its USB attached hard drive. However, you will still need to connect your computer to it, either by wire or wirelessly, to access it.

FAQ: Can I still use Elements membership features with my previous version of Elements?

Q: Can I still use Elements membership features with my previous version of Elements?
A: Photo upload and auto-syncing and backup willonly be available until your photos have been moved to your new Revel account. We will notify you when your move is complete and you can access your photos on Revel. You will be able to view your Elements Organizer photos on Photoshop.com until the end of the transition period, when the storage and sharing service closes.

I also had this problem. After the hint from jsher2000 above, I checked the add-ons.
It's still called "AVG Safe Search" in the Add-ons Manager in Firefox. (Either under Tools/Add-ons or under the orange "Firefox": Add-ons (Or Ctrl-shift A)
I found AVG Safe Search disabled in my list of add ons, and enabled it.
Voila, the icons now appeared in the searches!

Hi my partner used my email address and iTunes account to set up his iPhone and now both our phones have merged! Does anyone know how to separate these? Can he still use our iTunes account with a different Id or email! Please help!!

HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!

Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

Can I still use the Optical Drive if I install a SSD in my MacBook Pro?

Hello,
I'm looking to replace the standard hard drive in my MacBook Pro with a 240GB SSD, my question is, does this effect the usage of the DVD/CD Drive? As i've seen in some videos people taking that out and putting the exsisting hard drive there.
I don't want to do that I will turn that in to an extra external hard drive.
Any information would be very welcome.
Thank you,
James

Yes you can still use your optical drive just as you do now if you don't remove it.

Can I Still Use My Hard Drive For Other Things After I Do A Time Machine Backup?

I'm currently in the process of backing up my imac with time machine using a Western Digital My Passport 1TB hardrive. My total back up is just about 600GB. I've read that I will still be able to use my hard drive for backing up or transfering other files but I should partition my hard dirve. Now that time machine back up has started, will I still be able to partition my drive or is that something you must do before using time machine?
-Gabrielle

macjack has a very valid point, so you might want to consider a second drive for files.
To partition, you need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on restart. Select Disk Utility.
Step 1 - select the hard drive.
Step 2 - select the Partition tab.
Step 3 - select the current partition and then use the lower right corner to push up and resize the partition.
Step 4 - click the plus sign to add a partition. Then select the new partition.
Step 5 - Name the new partition and select the format. The one shown in the screen shot is generally recomended.
Step 6 - Hit apply.
This procedure can be reversed at a later date if you find your Time Machine backup needs more space.

Can I still use my iPhone 4S with iOS 8 as an iPod Touch?

hello, I currently bought an iPhone 4S 32gb with iOS 8 on eBay and i realized it had already been reported stolen so I cannot use it as a phone but can use it as an iPod. If I restore it, would I be able to use it as an iPod again or will it leave me on the activation screen ? Please explain.

Because articles saying "Everything is fine; no problems," would be very short, far less sensational and would garner fewer viewers and less interesting comments.

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

Can I use a ZIP drive with my LCII?

Can I just plug in a SCSI ZIP drive in my pizza-box and get it working? I can use it with mac OS 6 or 7, I need to exchange and storage files.
Something like this : http://cgi.ebay.it/IOMEGA-ZIP-100MB-EXTERNAL-SCSI-DRIVE-MAC-PC-AOK-WARANTY-/1305 26545470?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item1e63fd063e#ht_1239wt_1141
Thank you!

Do you need to store the files on Zip disks or could you use an external SCSI hard drive? The reason I ask is that Zip drives, while very useful and convenient, had some production problems and/or a design flaw (depending on one's point of view) for a while. The problem was named after the symptom that it caused - "Click of Death" or "Death Click." You'd insert a disk into the drive and hear the heads click down to find the control track, then after a few moments, the heads would release, then click down again, then release, etc. While the drive was still powered ON and trapped in this endless cycle, you couldn't eject the disk with the Mac OS "Put Away" command or by pressing the manual eject button. Whether it was an alignment problem or not, the disks became damaged. I don't think that Iomega ever compiled a definitive serial number range for affected units, so there's really no way to determine whether or not a used unit will develop the problem at some point. I bought an internal SCSI Zip drive about 6 years ago at eBay and it developed the problem within a couple of weeks. Fortunately, the seller sent me a replacement and didn't require return shipping of the bad drive. You could be lucky and get a drive that has had little usage and delivers trouble-free performance for as long as you need it. As for using the Zip drive with your LC II, you may need to download an older version of the IomegaWare software from Iomega's web site, to be compatible with the Mac OS you're running - especially if it's System 6. I've never used a Zip drive with anything older than 7.5, possibly 7.1 on my LC III - I can't remember since I soon upgraded the LC III to OS 7.6.1. With the Iomega software on a floppy disk, you can run the "Iomega Guest" program, that enables use of the Zip drive without installing the software on the hard drive. Otherwise, installing the IomegaWare software on the hard drive would be most beneficial to you.

Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partition?

Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partitioned Time Capsule? I understand that the Time Machine (software) cannot backup a networked drive (the external) and that Time Capsule (the router/wireless hard drive) does not have its own backup software... so it won't backup the connected drive. What I would like is an alternate solution for having an automated backup of a networked drive. A 2TB Time Capsule has more than enough space for Time Machine backups of my family of Macbooks, so I had hoped to mirror a 500GB external drive (with shared media files) to a portion of the Time Capsule internal hard drive. I assume this would require a partition of the Time Capsule drive. If not, would the sparse file from the various computers being backed up need to be copied to the external drive as part of the RAID1 setup? This seems like overkill for the Time Machine backup, but it would cover the media files.

The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.

Can I use a flash drive with my iPad? If yes, what kind?

Can I use a flash drive with my iPad? If yes, what kind?

Actually, and to clarify, the Lightning to sd card camera reader does not have a usb port in any shape.
The Lightning to usb camera adapter is the one that has the USB port. (its an entirely different product)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnod e=3a
The old 30 pin Camera connection kit, had a USB port adapter as well as the sd card reader in the same package.
In any case, if the iPad you bought is an iPad 4, then no you{ll need to decide if you want an Sd card reader or the actual USB port.
If its an iPad 2 then the camera connection kit will offer the usb port in the box.
However as was already mentioned, and with either product you can only transfer pictures in a very specific format.

Can i still use a care call phone line with infini...

hi i have placed my order for bt infinity i have been thinking i have a care call phone for my dad which connects to the phone line via an adapter, can i still use it with infinity?
or will the phone socket take away the compatability?
thanks
mark

If your care phone adapter is plugged into your BT socket,then if you get infinty installed I think that the only thing that the engineer will update is the master socket.
He/she should fit a new faceplate to the socket for the infinty data line [it has 2 outlets],you will still have a normal phone outlet,and I think that your care phone adapter can be used as normal.
But others might not agree.
Keep an eye on this thread as pthers might post thier responces.

If I have a Mac Mini ( no Disk Drive ) Can I Still Use Boot Camp ?

Hi, I have a ma mini... but i have came to a conclusion that I have no disk drive... so can i still use bootcamp ? I was wondering because all of the tutorials I watch, they tell me to insert my disk into the disk drive.
-Thanks for The Help

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have a Mac mini without a built-in SuperDrive, you have two ways to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp:
- If you have Windows in a ISO file > open Boot Camp Assistant, tick the option to create a Windows installation USB drive and follow the steps.
- If you have Windows in a DVD > buy an external optical drive, connect it to your computer, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to install Windows.
Don't forget to download Windows support software, and install it just after finishing the Windows installation.
If you need help installing Windows, print this file > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.
