Ebay Battery - Has anyone bought from sellers in Hong Kong no problems.

I am in need of a new battery and
I am currently looking at this list: http://shop.ebay.com.au/sacat/i.html?LH_ItemCondition=11&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%2 57C72%253A2386&rt=nc&_nkw=macbookblackbattery&_dmpt=AU_Laptop_Accessories&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=15&sc=1

this one: http://store.apple.com/auedu94060/product/MA566G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY#overview
and I am wondering if I should go with the Ebay option. I don't want to spend 200 dollars on an aging laptop, 30 bucks is more reasonable, but is it safe?
Has anyone has any experience to share? The sellers reviews have been mainly positive.

I don't want to spend 200 dollars on an aging laptop, 30 bucks is more reasonable, but is it safe?
Meet with the person and have a look at the date on the battery. If it is over two years old, don't buy it.
http://www.macsales.com/ offers batteries often for less than Apple and so does http://www.welovemacs.com/ Both are more reliable than any eBay seller.

Can I use my unlock iPhone 4S (bought from UK) in Hong Kong?

I've heard about the GSM and CDMA carriers but not sure what they are?? So can the unlocked iPhone 4S be used internationally? I'll be travelling to Hong Kong and will get the micro SIM there.

Not for iPhone. The problem with warranty/support in India is that such is handled by the official carriers, not Apple, and they absolutely will not touch any iPhone not purchased from them.

Has anyone gone from a camera similar to the SX200 to the G15 or G16 and what have you thought?

I have the SX 200 and am not satisfied with the reaction time.
I am looking into the G16 but am reluctant to spend $450 on it
not really knowing if it is worth it.
Has anyone gone from a camera similar to the sx200 to the g16 and was

I assume you're shooting his swing which is a form of action photography. If I'm right the best way to improve your results is to improve your technique, which costs nothing but takes a bit of thinking & practice. Thinking because you need to understand what settings fit the situation & how to set the camera to them. Technique comes into play when it comes to holding the camera STEADY, which is rarely done while using the LCD to frame the shot if hand holding. I don't own either of your choices but have a G9 which I've used for years but mostly as my underwater camera but even it would be an improvement over your SX200. The SX200 has a "slow" lens (f3.5 max aperture) while the G16 has f1.8 which is twice as fast (requires half the light all other settings being the same) which means under the same lighting conditions the G16 will use a shutter speed that's twice as fast as the SX200 would. Right now you only get 1 FPS (frame per second) while the G16 can do from 6 to 12 FPS depending on settings & having good light. More importantly it has a viewfinder (electronic) which allows you to hold it against your face to frame & time the shot AND keeps it more stable. You would however loose some of your current lens reach because the G16 only has about 1/2 the telephoto reach.
If you take the time to read these articles I've wrote for a couple of other forums I belong to it might help you understand why things work the way they do & why developing technique is the key to better photos.

Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?

Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?
If Yes, How is It?
This seems from what I've read at least to be a good or even great overclocker, It's too bad that It isn't a full ATX motherboard, Maybe If sales are good enough MSI will use this chipset on a Full size ATX motherboard one day. Of course It does have an Integrated ATI video card in It and It have as much as 128Mb ram for the pci-e built-in video or You could add a separate pci-e video card in the 16x slot. It's $94.00 right now on pricewatch.com of course.

Ordered one for a home workstation from ZipZoomFly.com. Also picked up a 3000+ and already have 1GB of Adata PC4000. Will be utilizing onboard video until I have the need/desire to upgrade to PCI-Express video card. Hard drive will be a new Maxtor 250GB ATA-133 16MB Cache that I picked up from CompUSA for $99/no rebates :D
I will post my thoughts after the system is together, should have parts by Thursday/Friday.
Well at least You aren't buying from Logic Circle Systems That place will ship incompatible ram that is Intel approved and say then It is You cpu that is at fault, I should know I'd bought zoom3's motherboard and some Wintec ram(Samsung chips ending in TCCC) and They said they were tested and AMD approved(They aren't, Wintrec is Junk on an AMD Platform), I now have a Corsair CMX512RE-3200LL Dimm and My cpus work fine at PC3200 speeds and above, Logic Circle Systems said was at fault. Logic Circle Systems is a bunch of Liars and are not trustworthy.

Has anyone switched from Cincinnati Bell Wireless successfully with their Z-10 from Cincinnati Bell ?

Has anyone switched from Cincinnati Bell Wireless & brought over their BlackBerry Z-10 to Verizon successfully ?

Hi seabee1,
I heard some folks switching over from that carrier but winding up getting new devices. Did you port your number over to our network? If so, did we suggest getting a new device? Share some details.
Thank You,

Has anyone bought this Creative Labs MuVo V10

Creative Labs MuVo V00 GB
I want to buy one, and I find a deal for it is $35.
http://dealstudio.com/viewtopic.php?t=3497&ru=283
Has anyone bought this one, do you like it's Is it a good price?

For only the g model, not such a good price. I see competing g devices for about $20.00. I have the 2g Muvo00. I like it- especially uses AAA batteries- never worry about it dying unexpectedly. I cut a slit in my workout shoes and keep a spare AAA there.

HT5824 I moved from Singapore to Hong Kong.

I moved from Singapore to Hong Kong.
Therefore I had to change my e-mail and to avoid this in the future Iuse a yahoo account.
On my mac pro all is ok and the changes went well but on my iPhone and iPad still the 'old' e-mail I used in Singapore appears.
also when the menu appears for sign in on both devices it shows the 'old' e-mail and even I try to sign in with the right old password I cant get in and m menu appears again and again!!
Any help and suggestions??
Thanks SK

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Has Anyone bought this battery?

This new Newer Tech battery. Has someone bought it and used it? How does it compare to the original Apple battery.. Use? And fit/finish?
https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP15AL5000/
I need a new battery or my 1.67 AL PowerBook

never mind. I bought a MacBook Pro

Trackpad jumpy. Not able to use MacBook. Has anyone heard from Apple on this pervasive issue?

My late 2008 13" MacBook (Snow Leopard) has become so erratic that it is almost impossible to use. (Using another MacBook now).
Hard to believe it is not an OS or update issue since it appears to be very pervasive. Anyone heard from Apple??
Any fix other than 3-prong plugs and dusty corners? (Wipe the trackpad many time and the apple power cord is already 3-prong).

Some users have reported issues with battery expansion causing problems with their trackpads. Try removing the battery and testing the MacBook while using just the power cord. If this works, replace the battery.
Best of luck.

Has anyone moved from mobileme to icloud?

Hi
Am a bit worried about mopving from mobileme to icloud as I dont want to lose my iweb site. Im aware that Ill have to change it by next June, but has anyone moved over and if so are your iweb sites still working in the meantime.?
many thanks

To add to Ethmoid's post: it is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Has anyone restored from Time Machine and Application permissions okay?

Greetings Apple Discussions:
Has anyone restored their system from Time Machine yet and had a successful restore of their application permissions from Time Machine?
I just wanted to get confirmation.

I've done several. In fact I did many during beta testing and I've done at least one after installing 10.5 and 10.5.1. Each one done under 10.5 and 10.5.1 were successful without any noticeable issues with permissions.

Has ANYONE heard from apple on the 7.1.6 bug???

Has anyone moved from Sky to BT Vision - opinions ...

Hi. My Sky contract is up at the end of July and I want to move to BT vision.
I'm wondering has anyone gone through this process and what are your thoughts on the new service?
How did the transition go? How much are you saving? What are the call centres like (I know they have Indian call centres like Sky I've heard that you need to keep the STB on all the time. Is this true?
Also, does the router need to be near the tv? This wouldn't be possible in the place I live at the moment. Would a wireless bridge work?
Basically all I'm watching is Sky Sports 1 and 2 (I also have SS3 and 4 which I don't watch) and Freeview, plus I've got BB,HD + 2 pack, and I'm paying £63.50. Its just too much.
I'm hoping moving to BT Vision I could cut my bill in half.
Cheers.

Many thanks for everyones replies they have been most helpful
I cancelled Sky last night and got my MAC code! Should be disconnected at the end of July.
How long will it take from placing an order with BT to getting package and STB in the post? I'm thinking of ordering at the beginning of July.
About the STB issues I wold rather turn it off. It will be connected to an 8 way power adapter with amps and 50 inch tv etc all connected. I really don't want to leave all that on standy when I'm out. I never schedule record never and I don't mind waiting to for the box to boot up, even if it takes 5 minutes.
Cheers.

Has anyone switched from Parallels 4 to VM Fusion 3 - What do you think?

I am considering the jump, as I have been really impressed with VM Ware's instructional videos. The product looks solid.
Has anyone else made the jump? What do you think?
Thanks!

I've been playing with them both on the same machine because I had the Fusion 3 beta. My experience has been through accessing Boot Camp.
Both do a fine job of accessing Boot Camp, but I found that Parallels is less of a headache than Fusion because every time you boot in to fusion it asks for a password, and if you are not running as administrator then you are asked for the password several times. If you are no an administrator, and do not know the administrator password then I am not sure how you can use fusion. Parallels does not seem to ask for this, which means you can set Parallels to start up the virtual machine and it does so without trouble.
I did notice that Parallels triggers reactivations of the Microsoft software, which is annoying. I have not tried fusion with Windows 7, so do not know what will happen with that. Interestingly, Parallels works OK with fusion installed as well, but Fusion did not seem to like Parallels. The reason I have both is that I got Fusion 2 with my Macbook and parallels 4 free with a MacUpdate package.
I found that bi-directional copy and paste seemed to work more cleanly in Parallels than Fusion, but I see little or no difference between their general operation. It is hard to tell if there is a speed difference. Parallels does not support AERO on Windows 7, but who cares about that?
The upgrade cost from Fusion 2 to 3 and from Parallels 3 to 4 are both reasonable, but it seems like fusion is $10 less expensive at $39. Those of us in education get it for $19, which means I might pay to upgrade anyway.
I am a long time Fusion user, I switched to Fusion and really liked it, but right now I am also happy enough with Parallels and cannot tell any real difference other than easier startup. One thing that is really nice about fusion, that could take me back is that they have a menu bar icon to access the start menu and it is really slick. Parallels relies on the dock icon and it is flakey.

Has anyone migrated from 10.7 Server to 10.8 Server using Drupal?

I migrated my server, which in addition to hosting a couple of traditional web sites also has a multi-site Drupal 7 installation, and now I'm regretting it big time.
I had to futz with the settings to get the traditional web sites back on line, but the Drupal sites broke hard. Couldn't even load the user login screen, nothing but streams of error messages. Now I'm in the midst of trying to revert to Lion Server again (including having to re-partition and re-install Lion to get rid of the 10.8 recovery partition) and keeping fingers crossed I can get back to what was working. Still a couple of hours to go on the Time Capsule restore.
This on my year-old Mac Mini Server that came with Lion Server installed.
Has anyone out there successfully migrated a mult-site (or even solo) Drupal 7 server to Mountain Lion Server? If so, what did you do to get your sites back on line?
Thanks in advance.

Yep, I've migrated from 10.7 to 10.8 with Drupal 7.
I've got 4 web sites running under 3 different domains.
I run stock os x apache and Postgres and php 5.4 (php-osx.liip.ch) and MySQL via homebrew.
Server.domain.com = os x server wiki site
Domain.com.au is my drupal / os x Postres site
Crm.domain.com.au is my Sugarcrm / MySQL site
Anotherdomain.com.au is a simple HTML page.
Wiki site worked out of the box
Drupal and sugarcrm broken
HTML site worked.
1. To fix the Drupal site, I just deleted from server websites panel and then re-instated it. That fixed that.
2. Set debug level to debug in apache2/httpd.conf
3. Looking at the apache error log, found that sugarcrm permissions needed to be reset and the cache directory needed to be writable by _www.
4. Fixed that and now up and running.
Hope that helps.
