First time upgrading, a few questions..

I'm an existing Verizon customer with the original Droid I got when it first released and looking to get the iPhone 4S when it releases.
I plan on pre-ordering it tomorrow on the 7th. I'm not gonna wait until 3:00 EST, but will do so in a reasonable morning hour.
A few questions:
1.) My contract ends sometime in November (Whenever the Droid 1 came out). I am still grandfathered into the unlimited data plan, correct?
2.) When upgrading to a new phone, are there other fees I should be expecting? (Just so I can get the pre-rage out of the way.)
3.) When I pre-order from the website, I am pre-ordering through delivery, correct? I can't have it put on hold for me at my local Verizon/Apple/Best Buy/etc.?
Thanks in advance.

Your data plan should not change. That's what I was told.

No, just the cost of the phone.

Apple's website specifically says the phones will be delivered. Can't really find any specific language on Verizon's site, but I think they also will ship the phone directly to you.
Thanks in advance.

First Logic gig: a few questions...

Hi folks,
Would appreciate any thoughts from the glorious hive-mind that is this forum!
First gig in a long time coming up, at a Universtiy Freshers Ball. It will be a 30 minute slot in a Dance night, so will be playing mainly four-to-the-floor techno. Ill be using my set up (see signature). Mainly native Core Instrument tracks, but a few Audio Loops. No live mixing, but playing live over the top on each track., using a Virtual Instrument.
There will be no sound engineer on the night. The Ent's guy who booked me hasn't a clue to the PA system spec's, but has said I can go and have nosy in a few weeks. It's a small venue... ~500 cap.
Never having used logic live, and not being a sound engineer as such, I was wondering about a few things:
1) What sort of FX should I have on the output? Same as if were an normal audio bounce? Im bearing in mind that the punters will have been dancing to clubmixes until I go on. Does my master output need to relfect that?
2) Is it best to freeze all the tracks? I know I could bounce them all to stereo... but I do like to maintain the pretence of being live . Besides, I might use the Keystation to control a few parameters here and there.
3) I write my songs as individual arranges in logic. Is there a way I can import them all into the same arrange, with all their instruments and automation data, so there is a contiuous flow?
Your thoughts are always appreciated.
Best wishes,
S.

First time Final Cut beginner question- how to get the timeline back?

The first time I opened Final Cut on my own, I accidentally closed the timeline box. How do I get it back?

Hmm...that's strange. Try this: From the FCE menu bar, select Window>Arrange>Standard
If that doesn't do the trick, your FCE Preferences may have gotten corrupted. Trash them exactly as described here:

First time ordering - a few quality questions

I am making a book for my mom that will have many pictures that I have scanned in and them imported into iPhoto. Has anyone noticed that printing a photo book greatly reduces the quality of their photos? The scan quality is OK, but obviously not as nice as original digital, and I don't want half the book to look like total crap.
Also, I read thru most of the threads here and noticed a lot of people talking about the dust covers in iPhoto 08 vs. canvas sticker covers (??) in previous versions. I have computers with access to both old and new versions of iPhoto and am wondering which to use. I want a hard cover book that looks professionally done... do the dust covers really not let you have an image on the front? Is it just a blank page? And does the older hard covers really have a sticker of the photo on the front??
And overall, what do you guys think of the quality of the hard cover photo books? Is 10 pages generally too thin? Should I try to beef it up a few pages? Do the pictures ever get wrongly cropped by Apple's manufacturing of the book? Do books look good?
Thanks!!

hiddenmuse:
I had a V6 theme book in progress when I converted over to V7. I looked at the new themes and the dust covers and decided that I really like them better than the glued photo cover. The dust jacket gives you some addition space for dedication and/or other information.
As far as image quality, I can't vouch for V7 as I've not ordered one with V7 as yet, today or tomorrow, but my other hardcover books were very good. Don't expect the quality you'd get in a commercial coffee table photo book as the printing is entirely different. When inspecting the photos in a large hardcover book under 10x magnification I could see the halftone pattern (dots). But not with the naked eye.
I found that the medium books had a halftone pattern visible under strong illumination with the naked eye. The newer softcover books are supposed to be printed at the same resolution as the large so that may not be a problem anymore.
Occasionally users will get oddly colored photos in their books due to some problem at the printers but Apple as been very good a correcting such problems in a timely manner.
As to the quality of the books, IMO they are excellent. I contacted Apple about printing quality and got the following response regarding materials and printing:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165501
Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."
Also, users expectations will vary considerably. But every book that I've given as a gift, large hardcover or softcover medium were received with much enthusiasm. I don't think your Mom will be a bit disappointed.
For every book I give as a give I create an iDVD slideshow of it to give also. Tutorial #6 describes the procedure.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Airport Extreme and Time Capsule – A few questions

Hey guys,
I have a Belkin Modem/Router with a USB port for storage, but I just found out it only has 10/100 Ethernet, and can only mount 1 hard drive to that storage port. Other than that, it works fine and I am happy with it. Its stated wireless speed is 300mbps, and it supports 802.11n draft 2.0.
I also just got a Mac, and was considering a Time Capsule for using Time Machine (Or, because am also considering a Drobo, just a straight Airport Extreme).
So my questions are:
1. Is there any point in keeping the Belkin to use as my modem if it’s got 10/100 Ethernet ports? Will that make the Time Capsule/APE (And hence the attached drives/devices) perform at the slower speed?
2. I don’t know if I can just “turn off” the Belkins Router abilities anyway. Assuming I can’t, will having 2 routers on my network even be possible? (Mac’s software is infinitely more user friendly, and I’d want to use it for my network).
3. Is there a limit to how many Hard Drives I can connect to an Airport Extreme/Time Capsule? (My Belkin can only share one, even via a USB Hub – it only sees the first drive.)
4. For now, my storage drives are standard HDD’s from WD and Seagate, but I am considering a Drobo (Some form of RAID storage is happening in the next few months, for sure).
In either case:
a) Will Airport Extreme recognize my External Hard Drive as a Time Machine Backup Destination? (And as a Drive to store other media)
b) Will Time Capsule recognize my external hard drive, in addition to itself (Since it’s also a Hard Drive?)
5. This page: ((http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/features/harddrivesharing.html) says: “You can set up password-protected accounts for everyone on the network or allow read-only access to certain files and folders.”
Some folders, I don’t even want to allow read only access to. Can I require a password before they can be viewed, or modified/deleted? (If I go the time capsule rout, I would want to protect the drives attached to it, and probably not the HD on the capsule itself).
6. Also, the rest of my computers are PC’s, and I was wondering if it’s possible (and safe) to set up time machine to backup to the time capsule for Mac, and allow the other PC’s to backup to it using their version of “Time Machine” too?
I know this will leave less room for mac and PC backups, but it would free up room on my Drobo / HDD’s
7. Can Time Machine backup wirelessly to other drives, such as http://shop.nextbyte.com.au/Script/MCH/Products/532195-NextByte-WDBACG0020HCHAES N-WD-My-Book-Live-2TB
Thanks so much for your help.
P.S. Can anyone recommend a good modem to use with the Airprort/Time Capsule?

No help?

Some kernel updates (I386 on my case), and my first question is: "How do I update this? Is it safe to be the first thing to be done?" Is it only copy to the Run directory (usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run)?
Also a component BC-FES-IGS has some updates, but I don't know what is this and how to update. (it says: Installation for SAP IGS integrated in SAP Kernel igsexe_16-10003071.sar)
All the rest (SAPK* files), seems to be normal patches that is possible to use spam to update them. Correct?
How to use SPAM/SAINT? What is used in one time, and on others? Do they do the same?

Hi Pedro,
Some kernel updates (I386 on my case), and my first question is: "How do I update this? Is it safe to be the first thing to be done?" Is it only copy to the Run directory (usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run)?
As SolMan is a dual stack machine, you can use JSPM to update the kernel. Another way is to extract the Kernel SAR files into the exe\run directory. It is a best practice to update the kernel before the support packages. Take a backup of the existing exe directories before you update the kernel and also pay good attention while downloading the kernel. you need to take care while choosing the correct version of the kernel (either 32 bit or 64 bit and ITANIUM or XEON). If you choose the wrong kernel, then ur SAP system will not come up.
Also a component BC-FES-IGS has some updates, but I don't know what is this and how to update. (it says: Installation for SAP IGS integrated in SAP Kernel igsexe_16-10003071.sar)
Extract the IGS SAR also along with teh kernel files.
All the rest (SAPK* files), seems to be normal patches that is possible to use spam to update them. Correct?
Yes!!! You may have to update the latest SPAM/SAINT (SAPKD700*) before updating the SP's.
How to use SPAM/SAINT? What is used in one time, and on others? Do they do the same?
Support Packs can be updated using SPAM and the add-on upgrades has to be done using SAINT.

First time importing CD - easy question

I'm about to import my first CD into iTunes. I have almost no experience with iTunes. The goal is convert my 500 or so CDs to ALAC.
I've learned how to set iTunes to ALAC and I've popped in a CD. I can see iTunes has already retrieved the CD title and track names.
What I don't see is the cover art. When I rip the CD to ALAC, will the cover art be embedded in the file? I want to make sure the cover art is in there so it displays even when I'm not connected to the internet.
Can anyone help?
-JOHN

Thanks for the reply, ejpre. You answered my question perfectly.
I did notice that I had to add the picture to the "get info" page several times before all thumbnails in the folder showed the image art. iTunes showed the art right away, but for some reason the thumbnails in the file folder didn't all convert. Some did - some didn't.
I guess that's just a glitch or a bug.

First Time MacBook Pro Owner - Questions

Hi everyone...
I'll first say that this is my first Apple machine and my first laptop, so I'm entering new territory...that being said, my apologies if some of my questions seem silly.
1) In a general sense, are laptops any more fragile (for lack a better word) than desktop machines? I ask only because with laptops having batteries and other different components when compared to desktops, I am curious as to whether or not there are certain precautions I need to take with my MacBook Pro.
2) Along the same lines as 1), how should I handle my laptop when not in use? Should I put it to sleep every time? When should I put it to sleep as opposed to shutting it down? With my PC desktop, I'd just leave it running for days on end and I never encountered any problems with it.
3) I tend to leave my laptop plugged in to the AC power adaptor while in use...will this cause any problems in any way? I've heard that the MacBook Pro has a built-in feature where it will not "overcharge" the battery, but I wanted to make sure leaving it plugged in all the time will not damage it or the battery.
Also, if you all have any general maintenance or usage tips for me given my utter lack of knowledge about Macs and laptops in general, I'd appreciate it! I plan on making my recent investment in my MacBook Pro last as long as I can!
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

PhiPsi JB:
First, welcome to Apple Discussions and congratulations on your new MacBook Pro (MBP). I bought one last November and I have been very happy with it. I agree with Templeton but I some other suggestions as well.
Since portable computers can be moved around, it's much easier for them to be damaged than a desktop Mac. As I'm sure you already know, your new computer will get all your attention and the older ones don't get as much use. So, I'm sure you will be using your MBP a lot and it will collect your most recent and precious data.
If you drop your MBP (God forbid!) then you will want to have a backup of your data so you can easily recover after it's repaired. My suggestion is to use a program like SuperDuper! (don't let the name fool you) to backup your system drive to an external hard drive. In my case, I partitioned my external drive with the first partition being a complete copy of my MBP's original system drive configured for my network. Then if I have any future problems, I can reboot back to the original OSX to troubleshoot any problems.
The second partition of the external hard drive has multiple images of my system drive after any updates. That way if, for some reason, an Apple update doesn't work, I can revert my system drive back to how it was prior to the update. Of course, I always do a backup prior to doing ANY updates. That's just good sense.
If you can afford it, purchase Applecare to protect your investment. It's expensive up front but if you ever need it then it will be cheap insurance.
If I'm not using my MBP for a while, I like put it in its case. It not only protects the unit but also keeps it clean. The thin aluminum case is prone to dents so by keeping it in its case, it will stay looking like new. I don't know if you have a glossy or matte screen finish but be sure to get the proper cleaner to clean your screen with. If you don't then whenever you clean your screen you could scratch it.
Finally, purchase a cover for the area where the heel of your hands rest on the MBP case on either side of the mouse pad. Others have reported that over time, stains and pits have appeared on the case which, I believe, was reported to be caused by sweat. I bought a plastic cover for that area in an Apple store and it helps keep my MBP looking clean.
Enjoy your MBP and I hope you never have any problems.

First-time upgrading, what do I need to keep?

Hey all:
I bought FCS1 when it first came out, and just bought the upgrade to FCS2 for it. When I installed the upgrade version, it asked for the Serial number, I put in the one that came with the FCS2 upgrade disks. Everything installed wonderfully and still works. Cool.
Thing is, I'll be buying a new computer eventually - a Mac Pro in January. I'm curious as to what I need to keep for installing FCS2 on the new computer (I'll be formatting and selling the old one). As I understand it, the FCS2 upgrade disks have the full versions of the software on them, and when I put them in to install, the serial number I should enter is from my FCS1 set. Is this true? Things that give me pause:
1) When I did the upgrade, I used the new Serial numbers that came with the upgrade disks;
2) My FCS1 disks aren't Universal.
Is the upgrade serial number only used if I have FCS1 already installed on a computer and I then try to upgrade? If so, then, upon getting my new computer in January, I'll never have to use that number again. Also: what do I do with my old disks? Can they be tossed?
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if anything is unclear.
Michael

I have a general rule that I never toss software discs. Especially when I paid over a grand for them.
Are they really taking up that much room, that you need to get rid of them?
Keep them. Keep your paperwork, too.

First time computer builder - simple question(I think)

Im putting together my first computer so far without much problem
This is hardware I have
380W Antec Power
865 neo2 board
2.8 p4 processor
2x512 mb corsair memory
lite on cd-rw
plextor dvd-rw
200gb western digital special additon hard drive.
(which came with ata ultra controller card)
My question is this:
How should I set up my two optical drives and the hard drive on my available ide connections. Of course I have the two regular ide ports 1&2 and I have the ide3 next to the serial ata ports. I also have the ata ultra controller card plugged into one of the pci ports which gives me two more ide ports. I ve read through the forum listings and have not came across a simple description of how I should configure my hard drive and optical drives. How should I hook up these drives and what settings should I use (master/slave). Any help would be appreciated If it seems like I'm asking dumb questions it's just because I'm real new at this and want every thing to be perfects. thanks

IMHO
I would take out ata controller card. Your MB has enough....
Primary IDE - master - your WD harddrive
Primary or Secondary IDE - slave - you lite on cd-rw
Secondary IDE - master - plextor dvd-rw
If you will install XP + service pack 1 your harddrive should be OK.
PS - Just finish to build about the same config....
But I made my dvd-rw - external
added later AFAIK Your 3rd IDE will not support optical drives.
It is possible to put bootable harddrive on third IDE, but I it is not very simple
and have no big advantages

This is my first time to ask a question, but my iPod touch 4G is not letting me restore and my i have taken it to the apple store and THEY could restore it but then after it shuts off and I can't restore it. Can anyone help me?

Hi, umm so anyways my ipod is about 2 years old now and i think the reason why it started to malfunction in the first place was because i had too much stuff on my ipod, apps, movies, and junk. But now i took it to the apple store and they were able to restore my ipod but when i go home it goes bad again and i try ot restore it on my laptop and it says it can't restore it. (11) and another thing is that when i try to turn my ipod on, it turns on to the apple logo then all of a sudden theres suppose to be the unlock screen but instead a black screen with a tiny loading sign in the middle and it keeps buffering and it never turns on. and then it shuts off with a white screen and then does the same exact thing for like 10 minutes. please help me. I dont know what to do. and my dad will be very ****** if it cant be helped..D:

First Time User, have some questions...,

I've recently obtained mainstage and I'm very interested in using it. I have a weaker computer, but I wouldn't be pushing it real hard I don't think...,
My questions are:
-Is there a way I can map drum loops to a keyboard (either my computer keyboard or midi/usb one) so I can change them on the fly?
-Similar to above, could I map voice mods to a button?
-I'm interested in looping, much like Imogen Heap or Zoe Keating. Is there a way in software to do this? I can sing/play something and it will record and play it repeatedly until I stop it with a button push.
Thanks in advance

The program you want is Ableton Live. It is made to do what you are looking for. You might (and I mean "might") be able to achieve something similar with Mainstage but not without compromise. Ableton Live is the standard for live recording and looping.

First Time MAC user - OS questions.....

Im awaiting the arrival of my first ever Mac system - a Macbook Pro 13.
As far as Im aware it comes with Snow Leopard OSX.
Since I come from a PC/Windows background, whenever I purchased a system in the past my first job was to always reinstall the OS, so I could create my own partitions, and to clean out any of the manufacturer installed rubbish I dont need! The latter was the main reason for re-installation.
Will my MacBook come with bloatware installed - or is it a clean OS install to begin with??
Would it be worth reinstalling the OS?
Also, if I reinstall the OS, will I need to install all drivers etc - just like on a Windows machine? If so, does the MAC have anything similar to the 'Device Manager' in Windows, so I can see my hardware and which drivers need installing, etc?
Thanks in advance for any response.

Hi and congratulations on your new 'best friend'
The OSX that is on your new MBP is OSX Snow Leopard version 10.6.3
And it does not contain any bloatware as with most of the Windows PCs you can buy.
Apart from the OSX itself you get the 2009 full version of Apple iLife suite plus a 30-day trial version of Apple iWork suite (which can easily be deleted if ou don't like it).
Nothing else on it.
While others round here might do a complete reinstall of OSX on a new Mac, I myself have never done that and have no problems with my Mac.
Device Drivers are part of OSX and updates to them are released as system updates from Apple with their own installer program.
In OSX there is a 'System Profiler' application, which lists all devices of your Mac plus the full software environment.
May I suggest to have a look here for beginners

First Time Router User Questions

This is my very first time owning and using a router, so I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
1. Can my router be plugged (with the lights flashing) at all times, or does it have to be un-plugged when not in use? (For fear of it overheating).
2. If I stay connected to a wireless port from my router at all times (on any given computer), does it eat up my bandwidth even if I am not surfing the internet?
Thank you if you reply to these somewhat silly questions. XD

Solved!
Go to Solution.

For a first time router owner your questions are perfectly normal. You dont have to turn off anything and the post about security is good advice. If your primary concern is bandwidth then you don' t want all your neighbors eating it up. As far as your LAN or Local Area Network you can leave that on as well with no bandwith issues. (Though with wireless you make run into some connectivity issues) Try not to confuse LAN with WAN. LAN = your network, WAN is you ISP a.k.a your bandwidth. Finally your WEP key (which is what I'm assuming you have to enter every time you disconnect) you can just leave that in and don't click on "disconnect" or you will be entering it everytime

Trying to redeem iTunes card told first time purchase on computer needs security question answered which I did not set up or know the answer to

Trying to redeem iTunes card. Was told first time purchase needs security questions answered and don't remeber setting them up to start with and I have made several purchases before without answering questions. Getting no help from Apple support. How can I make new answers for new security questions.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use
