Do you need a .mac account to use Mail?

I'm not able to use Mail, even though I'd like to. I don't have, or intend to get, a .mac account.
Is the program otherwise usable?
I have a yahoo account. It would be nice to use Mail in order to send email using Yahoo. Is this possible?

You do not need a .Mac account.
It works with any POP or IMAP email server.

It must be true. I read it on the Internet!

IWeb - do you need a .Mac account?

I have plenty of web space with my ISP - can I use this with iWeb or do I need a .Mac account? Thanks.

Just a guess . . . but the check to see that the startup page is the right name. It may be index.htm or index.html or default.htm. You can ask your ISP tech support.
If this is the case, I'd suggest you create an alias (or link) to the page that your iWeb is generating, so that you won't have to do that everytime -- you'd just have to copy the files.
Hope this helps.

Do I need a .Mac account to use iWeb?

I took a seminar about iWeb, and was under the impression that I could create web pages and then publish them on my own website, without subscribing to a .Mac account is this true?
I may subscribe to .Mac later to separate my two businesses, but I'd like to build a couple of pages, first, and then build my .Mac site later.

You are absolutely correct. You do not need to be a .Mac subscriber to use iWeb. You can make your pages in iWeb and then use the "Publish to Folder" command to put your website files in a folder that can then be uploaded to your own web hosting service.
The are certain features, though, that only work with .Mac. These include the hit counters, search, comments, slideshows, etc.

Do I need a .mac account to use os x mail?

Just wondering. TIA.

No, you don't need a .mac to use mail.app. It will work with standard POP or IMAP email servers.
Check your ISP's help pages. I'm sure you will find the settings needed to set up mail.app. If they don't specifically show how to set up your mac, use the settings shown for Outlook Express.

Do i need a .mac account to use i web?

i already have a domain and was wondering if i can use iweb to upload to it. or does iweb only work with .mac accounts
thanks

When iWeb starts, it prompts for your .mac account. You can choose 'no' and then the main window of iWeb will be opened. After you finished preparing your web site, choose 'Publish to a folder' from menu. You will get all of the html's, script files, etc, in the folder you selected. What you have to do next is to copy (or ftp) the published files to your web server and your web site will be there. Enjoy!

You can use any server space you have. Here are some tips:

HT201471 What model do you need to be able to use a charge scanner when their is no wi-fi available

What model do you need to be able to use a charge scanner when their is no wi-fi available

Ohh, you mean credit card scanner?
That would be up to whicher scanner you choose. The manufacturer would determine which iPad or iPhone versions or IOS versions their device supports.
The Square scanner from the Apple Online store only needs iOS 5. So pretty much any model of iPad should support it.
System Requirements
iOS 5.0 or later
Square app; free download from App Store in iTunes

Do you need a internet connection to use youtube?

Do you need a internet connection to use youtube?

The only alternative would be to download the video from YouTube on your computer and then, presuming it's one of the h.264 videos (Flash videos will not work on an iPod touch), you could then probably load it onto your iPod and view it with the iPod needing to be connected to the Internet. But you still need an Internet connection for your computer.

HT5527 So do you need separate iCloud accounts for your iphone AND your laptop?

iCloud complimentary storage plans expire tomorrow. Do we need separate iCloud accounts for iphone and laptop?

I'm thinking you had a Mac/Me.com account like I did that got transferred to iCloud. We were kinda grandfathered in to 25gig storage while the basic iCloud account storage is 5. As far as I know that storage plan is the only thing that expires tomorrow. You'll just be reverted back to the basic 5gig storage.
As far as anything else you don't need to have a different iCloud account, remember only one iCloud account can be used for the full suite of services on your phone but you could use a different one for iTunes and App store purchases if you wanted to. My wife and I share one account for those purchses on all our devices and computers but I do also use a separate iCloud account as my main one on my phone to keep our emails, messages, etc. separate.

Can you share apps between accounts when using the same PC

My wife and I have always shared my account. made it easy to purchase and share. Howeever, with iCloud etc its becoming increasingly obvious that seperate accounts might be needed.
Can you share apps you purchase through differnt accounts when your using the same computer?
I now you can with music.

Yes.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
You can figure out using it with another machine from that too
