Confused with all the talk on "International Roaming"
I am going to India , I want to use the iphone as an Internet device only like "Touch" ( that too Not over EDGE). I don't want to make Calls , i don't want to check my voice mail .I don't want to receive any calls
All I want is to use it as a Internet device that too on WIFI ( basically my Home WIFI)
I will have a local phone and VOIP Phone for everything else.
Is my Only Option Removing the SIM ?
You are absolutely correct.
Turning Data Roaming off turns off all DATA access while roaming. It is off by default.
BUT -- it does not change your phone service, which will still connect to a new network when you are internationally roaming. It also includes text messaging (which runs on the phone access, not data access network) and and voice mail.
In short:
If you want your phone, but no data access unless it is WiFi turn Data Roaming Off in your network settings. You will get phone, text, and voicemail, charged at international rates unless you have a discounted international plan,
If you want neither your phone or your data access while roaming but still want wifi, the only choice you have is to take out your SIM card.
If you do not want phone, data, or wifi, then turn on Airport Mode, which disables all of them (Note that you will have to put it back in airport mode every time you reset your iPhone)
You do, however, have all those add-per-month options you can put on to greatly discount minimal use of data while roaming -- see the international page for those things. You can cancel them after you return from the trip. Basic one-month charges will apply wether or not you use up all your data allotments.
One more note: if you have no international roaming provisioned on your account, you will not have to worry about any international network nor data connection. You can check that from ATT. For new users, that is turned off by default until you have been an ATT user for at least 3 billing cycles, and request it to be added. It requires an additional credit check through ATT International Provisioning before it is even activated on your account.
Not knowing what situation the OP is in, there are several options as outlined above.

Confused with all the software, need some opinions...
Hi, I am a recent Mac owner who is slowly trying to figure things out (I am bad with computers anyways) My dilemmas are: I was considering purchasing Office for Mac but then I see that there is also VPC so if I purchase VPC and download my Office for Windows on it, then I probably do not need Office for Mac. On the other hand I have read that VPC is pretty slow. The pricing of VPC is also a concern. I have researched few sites with similar programs like VPC that are cheaper and run pretty much like VPC (anyone heard or tryed IEMULATOR? www.iemulator.com, which is $25 , or guestPC www.lismoresystems.com, which is $50). The other thing is that i saw these sites about software that reads PC Cds on Mac (cdeverywhere.com and is about $40), and softarch.com/us/products/dm./html , which is about $60). So my question is if I have one of those virtual pcs or iemultor or whatever pc on my mac then i would not need those other PC reading software, coorrect?
All I need is to be able to exchange my files from my ibook to my pc desktop and viceversa with the easiest and cheapest software i can get. Anyone who has tried one of these mentioned above, I would appreciate your opinion on your experience with it. I like my ibook so far and all I am trying to do is to get the most use out of it.
Thank you in advance!All I need is to be able to exchange my files from my
ibook to my pc desktop and viceversa with the easiest
and cheapest software i can get.
The cheapest way (ie free) is to use NeoOffice.
http://www.neooffice.org/
This is a fully compatible and functional office suite for the Mac, it is also free.
It can open and save Word, PowerPoint and Excel files.

This will also do the job as well and will be faster than using any emulated version of Windows.
but then I see that there is also VPC so if
I purchase VPC and download my Office for Windows on
it, then I probably do not need Office for Mac.
You would need to delete Office from your PC though, or purchase an additional licence in which case the Mac version would be better (and cheaper than buying VPC and another Office licence).
On
the other hand I have read that VPC is pretty slow.
It can be, and the native mac version of Office is faster than running Office on VPC.
The pricing of VPC is also a concern. I have
researched few sites with similar programs like VPC
that are cheaper and run pretty much like VPC (anyone
heard or tryed IEMULATOR? www.iemulator.com, which is
$25 , or guestPC www.lismoresystems.com, which is
$50).
Remember these do not include a licence for Windows which would be an additional cost.
The consensus about these products is that they do work, but are slower than VPC.
So my question is if I have one of those
virtual pcs or iemultor or whatever pc on my mac then
i would not need those other PC reading software,
coorrect?
Macs can read and open compatible PC files without the need for third party software. If you have Mac Office (or NeoOffice) they can both open Office files created on a PC. -
After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.
If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/ -
Read MULTIPLE idocs data with all sgmn to my internal table in a single
Dear SAP Folks!
I have a question, I know to read SINGLE idoc data with all segments, we have FM IDOC_READ_COMPLETELY but my requirement is to Read MULTIPLE idocs data with all segments to my internal table in a single shot without keeping this FM in loop! since it is performance issue, at a time i may want to read 1000 idocs data!
Could anyone please let me know is there any way to get this, keeping mind of performance and any other FM?
Best Regards,
SriniHi,
I know idoc numbers and i can write a select Query to DB table EDID4 to get all segments data to my internal table. But i am looking for FM to do this. because i have too many number of idocs and each idoc is having many segments(I am thinking in performance point of view!) The FM IDOC_READ_COMPLETELY can accept only ONE IDOC number as import parameters at a time to get segment data. in similar way do we have any other FM? or other way? except select query to EDID4 table?
Best Regards,
Srini -
We wish to keep a spare computer loaded with all the required editing software ready to swap out if we have a hardware issues. What can we do about licensing, can users hot desk to it? We have about 10 users with various software packages loaded on their current machines. Currently if one goes wrong we have no backup.
You will need to check the licensing requirements for the various software & operating systems that you use.
A much simpler way will be to make a clone of each machines hard disk drives on seperate external bootable drives using Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper. You can then keep a couple of blank machines and boot from the an external drive in an emergency and carry on working. At the end of the work day you can then restore the clone to the internal hard drive of the affected machine, and leave it to run over night to complete the restore.
This method would probably be the cheapest way to implement a disaster recovery option as you will not need to pay for new licenses or 10 new machines.
Just make sure that each machine has an external HDD attached and a regular clone being made on a schedule, this way you will always have an up to date clone to work from.
There are many ways to acheive what you require, NAS etc.

When you buy a macbook pro does it come with all the software you need
when i purchase a macbook pro with retina display. will it come with all the software i need
Hi logan_logan,
Probably all depends on your past experience, but I'm getting a new Macbook Air next week, and I will be purchasing Microsoft Office. I have been using Word and Excel for years, and know all of the tricks, bells, and whistles, so just really don't want to go through a major learning curve to figure out how to use a new word processing and spreadsheet processing system.
I've had a little experience with Pages on my iPad (which I know is not even a close comparison to what is on the Mac), but I'm just more comfortable with Word.
So, I'd say depends on whether you want something that you are comfortable with, or something that is a new adventure! What's your pleasure?

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?
Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
Generating XML Data from the Database
Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.
You can also find some information in XML DB FAQ -
When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported. -

2014 .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.
You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install. -
Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.
Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing! -
Hi,I have recently replaced by hard drive with a ssd. My old hard drive has all my iTunes stuff.i would like to install only iTunes programme on the ssd with all the content on the old hard drive. How do I do it?
Install iTunes.
Once install, hold SHIFT and launch iTunes.
When prompted, point iTunes to the correct location for the iTunesLibrary.itl file which should be in the iTunes folder under <user>/Music on the old drive. -
