Future Planning; How do I get connected? (Frustrated and irritated.)
I am posting on this forum to hopefully get any information and assistance I possibly can regarding getting DSL service at my house. First, a little background info.
I live less than 30 miles outside of Richmond, VA; a major metropolitan area that is was a huge testing area for FiOS when it first launched. I had FiOS when I lived in Richmond.
The house I bought is located almost exactly 2 miles from the major highway, US 460. There is a major fiber backbone that runs along the highway connecting eastern Virginia to southwest Virginia and beyond.
My house is less than a mile from a State Route I will not mention, and the business on the corner of this road and the road I live on has DSL available to them. There is a subdivision that wraps around the back half of my property that contains around 30 large houses, most of them in the $500,000 to $850,000 range. None of these houses have any type of internet available to them in any system I have checked, Verizon or otherwise.
I know that I cannot directly request that someone come out with a Ditch Witch and run a cable to my house, but there has got to be something better than filling out this **** notification form and waiting potentially years with no response or activity. There is no doubt in my mind that at least 95% of the houses on the same road as me and in the subdivision around me would instantly subscribe to any form of internet that isn't atrocious satellite.
What I'm trying to get at is; there has got to be an office somewhere with people that get paid to plan future expansion of the DSL and FiOS network. I know that it is infeasible to expect FiOS any time in the forseeable future, but stretching DSL another mile seems trivial considering the amount of expansion Verizon does, and the money they are getting from Uncle Sam to wire up country bumpkins such as myself.
All I want is someone to email, tweet at, or even write a nice letter and mail to requesting that they at least take a look at my area and consider it for expansion.

Use System Preferences > Displays > Display tab. It should appear on your TV screen. 1920 x 1080 is probably the max resolution it will support.

How can I get connection between VC and back end ABAP system
Hi, I'm developing the kits in the VC platform, and I need to access the back end system designed by ABAP. For example, the system provides some public functions(not web services), and I hope when I click the "search" button, the VC front can call the remote functions and get the data from the back end system. In addition to that, the most important is I must keep the connection real-time. How can I do it?
Thanks for your help. At present, my VC version is 7.1.4 which isn't installed in the portal server but in local machine, and I'm new in the VC. What I want is when I click the "search" button(in the properties pannel), I can get the data from the remote server. I know the VC 6 provides similar functions, but the current version doesn't. Could you explain the details of how to get and keep the connection between them? Thanks so much.

How can I get connected to Icloud?Hello pmarrone,
You may only sign up for an iCloud account via one of the following systems or devices.
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?
Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical.
If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization?
You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured. This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
http://10.20.30.40
UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share. That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network. You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server. (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance. If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed. (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.) -
I am unable to get my bluetooth working on my phone. the message says "make sure car mutli media is in range" how do I get connected and what does that mean?
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?
Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”… If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine... -

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to connect to a Slingbox
How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to set up my Slingbox? It will not accept the Apple Extreme Name and password.
The AirPort Extreme does not have a User Name, but it does have a device name and device password, which you may have already tried.
There is also a Wireless Network Name and Wireless Network Password for the AirPort Extreme, which might be what the Slingbox is looking for if you are trying to connect it to your wireless network.
There are no other "user names" or "passwords" on the AirPort Extreme.
You established the device name, device password, wireless network name and wireless network password when you originally configured the AirPort Extreme.
If you cannot remember these, you will need to perform a Soft Rest to reset everything. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document:

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.
You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast. -
How do I get my Macbook Pro and iphone 5 to sync calendars in 2014? It worked fine in 2013, but the 2014 dates are blank on my Macbook. The all icloud is checked on my phone and the enable icloud account and push are selected on the Macbook.
ThanksDo the events from your iPhone calendar appear on icloud.com? If not, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if appears on icloud.com and your Mac now.

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?
You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on. -
