Can somebody please explain ICloud email storage ?

I use Mac Mail (within OS X Snow Leopard) with both my @mac.com address and also my @btinternet.com address.
I had a Mobile Me account also when that was still available, although that's perhaps irrelevant. (My @mac.com account is long-established)
When ICloud became available my @mac.com email account became an 'ICloud' Account although nothing else appeared to change.
I have now been told that my ' email storage on ICloud has exceeded the free limit and I must buy more'
I don't understand that, as I had no idea that my email was being stored in ICloud.
My assumption was that all stored email was somewhere within the (several terabytes) storage on my Mac Pro.
How do I stop storing email in ICloud and simply store all received email on my Mac Pro ?
Can I continue using my @mac.com account without it being an 'ICloud' account?
I do not have an Iphone or any other mobile phone. (although I do have an IPod and IPad and a MacBook)

iCloud email is IMAP, as was MobileMe: this means that the emails are stored on the server and read from there by your Mac and other devices. The stored emails use your 5Gb free or extended (purchased) space.
You can reduce the online storage of emails by downloading some of them to your Mac. Create a new mailbox in Mail, making sure it is under 'On My Mac'. Now go to your iCloud email and select the messages you want to download. Drag them to the new mailbox and wait while they download (if there are a lot it could take some time).
This will remove them from the server and free up space: obviously they will then only be available to read on your Mac, not on any other devices.
Can I continue using my @mac.com account without it being an 'ICloud' account?
No.
Your iCloud storage is also used by 'Documents in the Cloud', iOS device backup, and 'Photo Journal' galleries if you choose to host them there. It is not used by PhotoStream, iTunes in the Cloud or iTunes Match. There is no general file storage in the manner of the late lamented iDisk.
You can increase your storage space if you need to: additional 10GB, $20 p.a., 20 GB, $40 p.a., 50GB $100 p.a.

Can somebody please explain how to format and then reinstall Mac lion10.7 without cd

can somebody please explain how to format and then reinstall Mac lion10.7 without cd

You will need either an Ethernet or Wifi Connection to the Internet - USB Mobile device is not supported.
If you already have Lion installed you can boot to Recovery with Command R and use the Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD and then reinstall the OS from the Mac OS X Utilities.
You will need the Apple Id used for purchase if the Mac did not ship with Lion installed originally.
If you want to repartition the HDD you can use the Recovery Disk Assistant to make a recovery USB drive
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848
As Always - Back up the Mac before erasing unless you are confident there is absolutely nothing on the mac that you might possibly need later.
If the machine is a 2011 build or later you might be able to boot to Internet Recovery with Command Option R

I don't know cause Apple decided for me.
As does Microsoft anytime that they release a new update that is no longer compatible with the old PC hardware.
I would hope that Microsoft and Apple would both know what operating systems will run on the hardware that is produced for them.
I would also hope that Microsoft and Apple know better than you do as to what would work on their devices, tablets, computers, phones .... How much time and money have you put into research and development on the iPad?

Can somebody please explain to me what I'm doing wrong (RE: PPI)

I have a file that I have rasterized and saved as a PDF, in Illustrator. It's perfect as is, but I want to lower the PPI so the PDF can also be easily sent in an email without it being a large file. (The current file is around 7mb.)
I used the Effects > Doc Raster Effects Setting to lower the PPI, and the only thing that happened is the file size only became few kb less than the original. I tried again, this time lowering the PPI all the way to a measely 7 (can I even do that?), and the file this time managed to get larger than the original. Not by much, mind you, but it's still baffling.
I don't particularly care how I acheive the effect, but I'd like to lower the file size. Also, can someone explain to me what I am obviously not understanding about PPI? Freakin' PPI, how does THAT work?
Thanks!

Rasterizing usually increases the size of Illustrator files. A circle, for example, requires very little data to be drawn. There are a total of twelve points, each with X,Y coordinates, a fill, and a stroke. This circle is stored as a mathematically defined path and will always be drawn sharply at all sizes and print sharply at all resolutions. This is called a vector graphic.
When you rasterize it you convert it to a large grid of pixels, each with its own colour value. Even a small circle at low resolution (say, 1 inch diameter at 72 ppi or pixels per inch) requires at least 15,552 bytes of data: 72 pixels across times 72 pixels down times three bytes to store the RGB colour information for each pixel. There is also some data required to identify the type of object (a bitmap graphic) and its position on the page. THis circle will only look good if viewed at a specific size and will always print poorly. It is also much harder to edit since it is no longer seen as a circle with a fill and a stroke in Illustrator. Making the fill a different colour will be extremely difficult. Fortunately for our example, the shape is simple to recreate. This is called a raster image.
In the above example rasterizing has made the file larger, harder to edit, and print poorly. All of these are bad.
Some very elaborate and complex vector graphics may be saved with less data by being rasterized, but these are rare, and they will still be impossible to edit and still print poorly because the resolution of the graphic is fixed. The advantage of vectors is the resolution is infinite. Print on a crummy inkjet and you get the best quality output of that printer. Print on an offset press and you get the best possible output on the press. View on your monitor and you get the best possible display your monitor can produce.

This did nothing. Document Raster Effects Settings applies to any effect in the Effects menu that produce a raster image rather than a vector, which only applies to a few commands. Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow, Inner Glow, Outer Glow, and Feather are some, as are all the effects below Photoshop Effects. The setting has no effects on anything that has already been rasterized.
Raster effects are effects that Illustrator cannot easily reproduce without using some bitmapped or raster data rather than drawing it entirely with vectors. Effect > Distort & Transform > Roughen, for example, applies some mathematical transformation to the selected paths, so does not need rasterization. But Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow produces a blurry transparent shadow that looks best if it is a raster. The Photoshop Effects only work on graphics that are already rasterized, so Illustrator rasterizes them in the background first. Document Raster Effects Settings lets you globally define the resolution of all such effects in the document. Higher values produce smoother effects when enlarging or scaling, at the expense of speed and file size.
I don't particularly care how I acheive the effect, but I'd like to lower the file size.
I don’t know what effect you are trying to produce. Use the camera icon at the top of a reply to attach a screen grab of what you have drawn. If this is not exactly what you want, but you can find it somewhere else on the web, post a screen grab of that, too.
Also, can someone explain to me what I am obviously not understanding about PPI? Freakin' PPI, how does THAT work?
PPI stands for Pixels Per Inch. A pixel is the smallest part of data in a bitmapped or raster image. If you never rasterize anything in Illustrator, never use a raster effect, and never rasterize anything, then pixels per inch means nothing to your file because nothing is saved as a pixel. If you rasterize something, import a raster image, or use a raster effect, then you have introduced some feature to your file that cannot be completely defined using mathematical paths. This is instead saved as a two dimensional grid of coloured squares. Each of these squares is a pixel. The more pixels you use to define a graphic, the more detail that graphic contains and the larger the file.
By definition a pixel has no size. But Illustrator uses a physical measurement like inches, centimetres, or points to define the size of everything. This means the pixels in your file must have a size, too. Pixels are not defined by size because one does not manipulate single pixels like they are objects. One generally refers to the density of pixels in a unit of measure. So a pixel is not .0033 inches, or 1/300 of an inch, rather a raster image is defined as being 300 pixels per inch. if that same image is enlarged to 200% its pixels are enlarged, so it becomes 150 pixels per inch. If this is an Illustrator path with a raster effect, the effect is recalculated after the drawing is enlarged and is still 300 pixels per inch, but now contains four times as many pixels (twice as many across, twice and many top to bottom).

Can somebody please explain the vbr-nrt scr pcr in easier way?

Hello,
Please confirm if my presentation is correct. Thank you very much in advance....
First, I have called Telstra to ask what is the upload speed of the link in our atm link. They said it is 910Kbps.
Then I checked also our router and I have executed a show command à sh controller atm0/1/0
Output:
          Interface: ATM0/1/0, Hardware: MPC ATMSAR, State: up
        IDB: 0x30AB0424 Instance: 0x30AC1288 PHY Inst: 0x00000000 us_bwidth: 910  --> I am assuming that this is Upload Speed = 910Kbps and this is automatically detected by the router interface.
Second, I have checked the EF priority value. For my 5 ip phones in this site.
Class-map: cm-voice-out (match-all)
653566 packets, 134229712 bytes
1 minute offered rate 0000 bps, drop rate 0000 bps
Match: ip dscp ef (46)
Priority: 26% (133 kbps), burst bytes 3300, b/w exceed drops: 1359 --> The QoS only take effect itself if there is a congestion. If the voice packets exceeded above 133Kbps , packets will drop.
Third, My question to myself: Why Priority 26% got the corresponding bandwidth of 133 Kbps???
             My assessment: I’m assuming that it depends on what was configured on this command line --> vbr-nrt <SCR> <PCR> = vbr-nrt 512 512   (In my understanding, This is ATM shaping).
          512Kbps X .26 = 133.12 approx. 133Kbps
My Conclusion:
      From current configuration vbr-nrt 512 512  .... I’m thinking if we can change it to this new configuration --> vbr-nrt 910 910 , Does it affect the call delay?
    So that there will be a higher bandwidth for EF packets.
         910Kbps X .26 = 236.6   approx. 237Kbps

Can somebody please explain me this logic?

array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7];
newArray = array;
trace ("array: " + array);
newArray = newArray.splice (0, 5);
trace ("array: " + array);
Output:
array: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
array: 6,7
As you can see, I set a variable equal to another (newArray = array), then splice it. But the problem is, it is affecting the old variable too!
How can that be?
I need to use the complete original "array", but no matter how many variables I create equal to it, when I splice them, it affects all of them!
I might find a solution by turning the variable into string, then back to array or something like that. But what I would like is to understand what's going on in that code. If someone could explain me, i'd appreciate it a lot.

Thank you.
That helped me out.
I found my problem also in the Flash Documentation. I couldn't find it before because i didn't know what to look for.
Anyway, here's the link if someone wants it:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000661.html
It teaches how to create a copy of an array using a "for", but "kglad's" method is much better.

Can somebody please explain how to fix this?!

After doing my first ever Phone Software update on my phone (a Nokia E52) this problem started.
In the Standby mode if I choose "Basic" it shows the entire theme as it's meant to be. But when I change it to "Active" the bottom of the theme cuts off! This NEVER happened before I did the update.
Please see the images attached and you will see what I'm talking about.
Any help would be appreciated or if this problem cannot be remedied then please say so as well. I have been to a Nokia Support Centre and had a technician check it out, his only unwaiving response was "The update makes the phone better", which doesn't do squat to solve my problem jack.

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

Yep, that's the only message that popped out. Nothing else. Yes, it's running on the latest ios and I still can't restore it. I called apple and they told me it's probably something wrong with their servers. Anyway thanks for the advice.

Create a new mailbox under On My Mac, download the e-mails and then drag them to the new folder. If necessary, go to iCloud and delete the downloaded e-mails.

Can somebody please explain ICloud email storage ?
