Does an IMAC desktop come with wi fi router built in or do I need to purchase and connect one?
Does an IMAC desktop come with wi fi router built in or should this be purchased separately? My brother recently bought a new IPAD mini and we don't know how to connect it to wi fi. He has a fairly new IMAC desktop.
No. It comes with a Wi-Fi card for connecting to a router. First, you need Internet service in your household either from cable or DSL. The provider installs a modem or a modem/router. In the case of the former you need to provide the router. In the case of the latter you do not. But a router is needed to create a wireless network in your home.

Does the Imac automatically come with Anti Virus, Or do I need to buy some separately?
Does the Imac I bought new from the Apple Store a few years ago, automatically come with Antivirus, or do I have to buy some separately?
Since a number of you are denigrating AV, let me remind you that even Apple has concluded that some form of AV is necessary and since 10.6.7, has included its own AV called XProtect. So much for AV being worthless.
Apple's XProtect would be nice, but the problem with XProtect is that it seems Apple isn't really devoting all that much in the way of resources to it and its definitions are updated only sporadically, often only after some form of malware becomes prevalent. Of course that doesn't mean that a commercial AV, like Intego, or a free, highly rated AV like Sophos will necessarily have definitions for that malware, but since, unlike Apple, that's their only business, it's likely that they won't allow something to stay in the wild without any definitions, as Apple may do, for very long.
It's all much more nuanced than the cut and dried answers usually supplied in ASC. Read on here about some of the shortcomings of XProtect.
In the years I have been using Macs, I have not, to the best of my knowledge anyway, been infected by any kind of malware, (but, to emphasize, that's to the best of my knowledge), and I know all the common sense ways of avoiding it, but, and it's a big but, it only takes one event for all that safe history to come to an end.
And besides, to those of you who have already concluded that you have never been infected by any form of malware, including myself, I would ask, how can you be so certain? How do you know that you have never picked up any kind of malware? Malware these days is no longer of the script kiddies, or even of the well executed vandalism variety. Malware authors are writing for profit and they go out of their way to write programs that are undetectable. It's not like it will jump out at you, you can be infected and not know it.
Besides using common sense as ones main defense against malware, AV is just another tool, to be used with respect for its obvious limitations. -
Does the iPhone 5 come with a nano sim in the UK? If not where can you get one on pay as you go?
I am thinking of pre-ordering the iPhone 5 but does it come with a nano sim card? If not does any body know where I could get one on pay as you go?
If you get the phone from a carrier it will come with a nano SIM. If you order direct from Apple you will need to get a sim from the carrier.

Does Adobe pro 11 come with a full subscription of forms central?
Does Adobe pro 11 come with a full subscription of forms central?
Hi;
No, the purchase of Acrobat Pro XI includes a Desktop application to create PDF forms. This can be used in conjunction with a subscription to take advantage of the oniine services, but a paid level subscription is not included. This chart shows a comparison of features if you have Acrobat with the FormsCentral Desktop application to having a subscription: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/landing/axifcpricing.html?promoid=KEURI&accntlvl=b sc

Does my desktop come with wireless capability with no need for a separate router needed to be purchased, when airport is opened up belkin wireless is checked and other locations are listed but locked? Does my xfinity unit have one or just a modem? TIA
Your iMac does have wireless capability. It does need, however, some wireless network in order to connect to the Internet. It sounds like there are several networks in your area, including one Belkin router that is not encrypted and several other networks that are. I presume that you would know if the Belkin one is yours, and you would have mentioned it. Do not use someone else's network without their permission. In some jurisdictions it is illegal, in others it is merely foolish.
It is impossible to know what Xfinity has given you. Possibly it is only a cable modem, or perhaps it has a router built in. Call them and ask them. If it has a router built in, get them to help you set it up. Note that some tech support people for Internet service providers will resist working with Macs. Be persistent, it is not that different.
If they did not provide a router, you will need to get one. Apple makes the AirPort Extreme base station, the AirPort Express base station and the Time Capsule. Other companies have their own. Be sure you get one that is up to date and has 802.11n capabilities (for the highest speed) and go on from there.
Best of luck. -
Does any apple laptop comes with microsoft word?
I have an windows 8 laptop and im so fed up with that piece of crap, does any apple laptop come with microsoft word?
No. That is totally wrong. If you buy the latest Macbook Air/Pro or iMac you will get free Pages. Pages is like Word, but even better.
If you get an older/ or if you own an older Mac, check out www.icloud.com, sign in with your APPLE ID, then click on the "Pages" app. This lets you write texts professionaly and is in my opinion way better than Word. -
Bought the phone on contract last January (late in january), had my charger replaced just after christmas and now it has stopped working again, its been about a month and a half and the replacement charger is broken, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will I have to buy a new charger?

Does muvo tx fm come with an arm ba
Im looking at buying the 52 model at cambridge soundworks. Their web site does not say it comes with anything but on amazon they say it does and also a case and beltclip.Does it depend on the vendor as to what comes in the tx fm package or is the contents standard in all tx fm packages?
In the UK it does but it tends to be different in different countries. Look at the Products page for your particular country - use the region selector at the top of the page. There is a Package Contents link.
