Does File Vault only work on Startup Drive?

I've been reading up on FileVault, but I have a Macpro with 4 drives installed, plus some external HDD's as well.
Can FileVault secure them as well, or do I need a separate app? In which case, can anyone throw some recommendations my way?
Thank you!

Hi Andrew,
From what I've found it looks like you can encrypt multiple drives using FileVault 2. The only drawback is that you would only be able to access the data on these drives using a computer running Mac OS 10.7 or better. But if you're okay with that it should be just fine.
Here's a MacWorld slideshow that explains how to do this in more detail:

Hope that helps!

Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and set to "use cellular data" to ON. Be aware this will use your mobile data allotment when streaming music.

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi?

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi? Im having very sporadic results with this. I thought Apple products worked. Home sharing is not working from my windows operating system to my iPhone 4S nor my iPad.

iPod touch is Wi-Fi only, yes. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by games from home Mac, but you can purchase game apps in iTunes and sync them to your iPod.

Does T400 can only work with up to 4GB RAM?

Does T400 can only work with up to 4GB RAM?
Here (http://support.lenovo.com/en_NO/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD005598), it says 512 MB, 1 GB, 2GB, or 4GB memory.
So if more than 4GB RAM, will it do harm to the hardware of T400? Or just only 4GB will be used, and no any harm?

That doc was probably written when there were not 4GB DIMMs available, or at least being commonly used. T400 will work with any combination of 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DIMMs, up to 8GB total. I tried single 8GB DIMM and it didn't work

But can it still stream video wirelessly?
For example, with the Digital AV Adapter I can watch video on my TV, but obviously it's wired.
I'd like a wireless option.

I'm using iTunes 9 and I recently just bought AirPort Express. I have used it before in the past put the problem I have now is that I cannot select the Express network for my speakers. Does Airport Express only work with iTunes 10 or 11?

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

After latest FP update, why does my website only work in Firefox.

I spent ages the other night trying to fix my website, as it suddenly stopped working in IE9. Tried all sorts of FP installs with no avail. Eventually went back to IE8, think 9 was the problem, and still my site won't work. Out of 4 browsers, IE8 (or 9), Opera, Safari and FF, only FF displays my site. If I understand correctly, FF doesn't use the same plugin as the rest. My question is, why does it only work in one browser, and not the others.
If I use my HTC Desire, the site works fine too.
Just to be clear though, this isn't just on one PC, it is on three. I have one running Win7 64-Bit, one running XP Pro, and one running Vista Business. None of them will display the site with IE8. Oh, and my WIn7 machine dual boots with XP Home, and that doesn't work either.
Even my Vista Business machine, which actually hosts the site, won't display it properly.
The site was created using SWF files built in Flash CS3, if that's relevant. One AS2 file, and 2 AS3 files on a page (usually)
You can check the site here www[DOT]digital[DASH]essence[DOT]co[DOT]uk
Sorry for the unfriendly address, I don't trust forums and website addresses.

It's the forums that make the image tiny, if you do a right-click > copy shortcut, you can then paste it into a new tab, which will let you see the full size image. It's a 3360x1050 image, maybe a bit big for the forums.
Basically though, the left image is IE, and that shows an error box. The centre image is Opera, and that shows an empty screen. The right image is FF, and that is how it should look.
If it's a machine specific error, then I can't work out why it is on several machines in my house... very odd.

HT204389 Why does talk text only work sometimes????? At times it works fine and then it will either show me the blue circles forever or just stop without converting anything I said.

Why does talking to Siri only work periodically???? Sometimes it does fine and other times it just keeps running and nothing happens! When I am tring to talk to text in messeges it does the same thing. Sometimes fine, other times the blue circles forever and then...nothing ! Does this happen to others??? Does anyone have a solution to this???

The trascription doesn't take place on your phone. The audio file is processed a little on the phone and then sent to Apple's servers for the bulk of the work, and the resulting text is sent back to your phone.
Sometimes there might be problems connecting to the internet to send the file. Sometimes there might be problems with Apple's servers in a specific region. In my case if I go outside my house a bit my phone will still be trying to connect to the wifi (there is just a little bit of a signal). There isn't enough wifi to handle sending the audio files to Apple, but enough that the phone keeps trying to use it.
Things that sometimes help. Turn off wifi if it is weak. Put your phone into airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn the radio back on.
If the problem is at Apple's end. Just wait a while.

Does Home Sharing only work over wi-fi?

This may seem like an odd question, but I think it may be the root of my problem. I have a network that uses three Devolo mains network extenders in various rooms (the house has very thick walls). All three Devolo mains plugs connect (via the ring main) to the router. An iMac, laptops, an Apple TV, iPhones, etc each connect wirelessly to these very happily.
However, no two computers (say an MBA and an iMac) in the same room, or different rooms, can 'see' the other in the normal way - i.e. by having the other device appear in the left hand pane of the finder window. They can, however, if I enter the IP address of the other machine manually. So this is irritating but not insurmountable.
What does appear insurountable though is that, in a similar way, iTunes cannot 'see' any shared libraries across the network. Because of the issue described above, I had assumed that both problems were probably being caused by some sort of issue with the way the Devolo boxes are configured. But then I realised that, even though each device is connecting wirelessly to the Devolo boxes, I don't actually have a wi-fi network in the same sense that I would if I had an Airport-based system...and if Home Sharing only works over wi-fi, this might explain why it doesn't work for me.
Apologies for the rambling question, but given the increasing popularity of these mains network-extender boxes, I feel I can't be alone in experiencing these issues. Can anyone shed any light?

The quick answer to your question is no, for example Home Sharing works over Ethernet as well. Strictly speaking Wi-Fi is not required and iTunes doesn't care either way.
However, I understand that the Devolo mains adapters have problems coping with this. If I had to guess, the problem might be an inability to carry the required bandwidth. The reason for this is that Airtunes is fairly demanding of bandwidth and if your wireless network's performance is degraded due to any number of variables, Airtunes is the first to suffer.
You didn't say what kind of computer or OS you are using but Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP ports 123 and 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries. Those ports need to be configured in whatever firewall or security settings you may be using. If you are certain you have those ports open on your shared computers then concentrate on the Devolo adapters. Perhaps they are in need of a firmware update or modification of some configuration setting.

Why does the sound only work for certain programs?

The sound is only working for certain programs on my iPad. Does anyone know why? Any help is appreciated.

It sounds like you have System Sounds muted. Either the switch on the side, or double tap the home button and swipe to the right, ICON will be on the far left. If the ICON is screen lock related, then it is the switch on the side.

Does ws adapter only work with asynchronous web service?

Hi all,
can you please confirm whether or not ws adapter (PI 7.1) only works with asynchronous web service?
I have created an async. outbound service interface in PI 7.1, generated the client proxy in ECC, created an web service based on the proxy, wrote a test program to call the web service (PI scenario uses ws adapter in the sender CC). Everything works fine.
Then I did the same thing with sync. outbound service interface. I got exception while calling the web service in ECC.
I've heard that ws adapter is designed for async. communication. Does it mean that it won't work with sync. web service?
I haven't seen any official SAP document saying taht ws adapter only works for async. web service. If you have any, can you please share it?
Thanks
Jayson

Thank you all for your information.
The error I got when calling the proxy with logical port (web service) is:
SOAP:1,007 SRT: Unsupported xstream found: ("HTTP Code 404 : Not Found")
I will debug it to see what exactly happens. And will keep you guys updated.
Just debugged, the error is because the http header's content type is text/html while it should be test/xml. However this type is set by the ws runtime, not by the application. Anybody has an idea about this?
Jayson

Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
Please help if you can.

Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
3) once "paired" off you go.
