Have a few questions about iPad before I get one

I have a few questions about getting an ipad before I committ to get one.
I have about 24 gb of itunes purchases in my itunes library, I am thinking of getting the 64 gb ipad. However, after you purchase the 64 gb, it will not truly be 64 gb,
1) how much actual storage space would I have on a 64 gb ipad accounting for the os? On my macbook now I have a 164 gb hard drive but only access to about 148 gb for example.
2) Would I be able to store the 24 gb of itunes purchases in icloud? How would I do that? Would I keep needing to go into the Purchase History tab in the ITunes store and download the song when I want to listen to it? My concern with this is that the item will no longer be "available in the Itunes store" and I will lose access to my music I purchased?
I would like to ditch the laptop and just have the ipad as my computer but want to know about these questions I have first.
3) Can ipad and iphone now be charged without needing a laptop? Per last year's June 2011 conference when Lion and ICloud were announced, it was stated in Fall 2011 with iOS5 that people could get ipads and iphones and charge them without needing a laptop for syncing?

1. About 57 on mine
2. Subscribe to iTunes Match at a cost of about $25 per year - 25000 song limit I think

3. The iPad comes with a power adapter that plugs into a wall socket and that is the recommended way to charge it anyway. - not by using a computer

You do not absolutely need a computer in order to use an iPad but you have to do more research to figure out if it will fit your needs that way.

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 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...

I am now running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro and the through VMware Fusion Software and I have a few questions about the ins and outs.

So far I have a few kinks to work out. While running Internet Explorer 8, I get the error message, " Cannot connect to the internet." In Networks on the control panel, it says that I am connected to a local area public network but there is no internet access. How do I establish a connection to my existing network which works with the mac os? Also, of course, programs like Adobe, Quick Time Player, and uTorrent/bitorrent are already installed on my computer. Do I have to download them again on windows or can I import them or share them somehow?

I am about to run specialized GIS software that may or may not need the full machine resources. I am an attorney who uses QuickBooks for my accounting. The Mac version does not do as much as the Windows version. This is from both Apple and Quick Books professionals. I am using Parallels Desktop version 8 at this time. It does not support QuickBooks Windows version per Parallels. Any other questions? I am a highly competent PC user who is new to Macs. I am entitled to my own configuration choices. That said, I know when I need help which is now.
As to the free space issue I have 665.18 GB free space out of 749.3 GB on the drive. I am not trying to run the 32 bit version. I know that it requires the 64 bit version. Besides, it does not get that far in the process. As I said Boot Camp asssitant terminates unexpectedly as soon as you hit the continue button after setting the partition size. Therefore I conclude that it does not have a chance to see which version of Windows that I am using. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version in the virtual engine (to use Parallels speak), but again Boot Camp would not see that since it is not running. It can't run at the momenet because Apple just installed a new hard drive and I have just restored the data from TIme Machine and Parallels needs reactivated, which I have not done yet deliberatley. With all of this addtiional information do you have any further suggestions? Thanks for your time and interest my issue.

I have a few questions about iCloud....

1-Is the only way there is to save docuemnts is by using the proper version of say Pages, and save it to iCloud? There isn't a vistual hardisk such as iDisk where I cam store my docuemnts, or pictures, or whatever, and pull them down from anywhere? If there is, where is it located?
2-My wife had an iCLoud account, which is on her phone but not being used for anything. I have one on out iPad. Now we have taken pictures with both the phone and the iPad and some images are listed as being part of our photo stream and some aren't even though there is nothin i did, (knowingl) different from picture to picture. Why are some in the photo stream and some aren't?
3-Still about photos. I don't have a desire right now to have a photo stream and when I try to turn off the Photo Stream it tells me those images will be deleted from the device. Why is that? What is the work around to take them off o out of the stream and keep them on the device? And I know for a fact I nevert turned the stream on because I don't need or want my images being sent out and about, so this is irksome to me.
4-My wife has an iCloud account on her phone but for future use to stream music, but I have my iCal updated to my work computer, iPad and my MacBook Pro. I wanted my iCal info to be on her phone and it seemed no way for that information to merge onto her account. So I then thought I would just take her iCloud account off the phone and put mine on. Seems no way to do that either. Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks in advanced.

This article provides some alternatives to iDisk: http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1751378.
If the photos that were not added to photo stream are photos that were on your device before your tuned photo stream on, that's the reason. Photo stream only uploads photos take after turning it on. It should automatically upload photos when you are connected to wifi, have the camera app closed, and have at least 20% battery life remaining. If that isn't the reason, then I don't know why some of your photos weren't added.
To turn off photo stream and keep your photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll first. To do this, open your my photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to save, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. After they are in the camera roll, you can turn off photo stream.
If the calendar you want to share with your wife is in iCloud, you can share that with her as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694. If you ever want to change her iCloud account, just go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign into the account you want to use. You can also set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on her phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud. (You could, for example, add your account to her phone as a secondary account and just turn on contacts syncing in the secondary account.)

PLEASE HELP! Just switched to Mac and I have a few questions about bootcamp

I am looking to load Boot Camp onto my MacBook and want to know if it is necessary to save things like songs to an external hard drive(the computer is new so i don't have any important documents or files on it).
Second Question: I would consider myself somewhat of an intermediate user on the PC operating system but I am new to Mac and want to know if I should run Boot Camp on my own knowing just the basics of Mac.
Thanks for any help,
-Cody

If you have nothing important, don't worry. If you want to save the songs to an external hard drive do so. The key is being aware that you could lose everything, so you should back up anything and everything you don't want to lose. If you can't afford to lose the songs, back them up somewhere. If it were me, I would back up the entire computer, just in case, but that's me. Just be sure to unplug the external hard drive before commencing the Windows installation.
As for running Boot Camp on your own, I don't see why not. Most of the problems people have is not with Boot Camp per se but with the installation of Windows. In particular, take care to not overwrite or break your Leopard installation by selecting the wrong disk partition to install Windows on, and make sure you then format (or quick format) the Boot Camp partition to FAT or NTFS. Do not choose the "convert to NTFS" option!

I have a few questions about the warrenty for the iPhone 4

I just called technical support and they said since the vibrate on my phone is broken, they would send me a used phone, no cost to me. However, I have to send back my current phone and they said if they find out that I was the reason the phone is broken that they would have to charge me $300 for sending me the used one.
How could they know if it was my fault? As far as I know the vibrate just stopped working one day. What would have to be wrong with the phone for them to be positive that it was my fault? If they do come to the conclusion that it is my fault, how do they charge me? Can I cancel the order for the new one and just keep my old one?
My phone has minimal scratches on it, looks like it is practically brand new. If i receive the replacement phone tomorrow and change my mind, can I send it back with the prepaid label they send me?
Sure I would love a phone with vibrate in working condition but if it is going to cost me $300, I can deal without it.

@Dougnvic, no need to worry because I'm here to help! The vibrate function is very important especially when you're in a situation where you cannot have the ringer turned on.
If we replace your phone through the warranty you are only charged for the equipment if there is any damage on the phone. The normal wear and tare is expected and you will not be billed for the phone because of these scratches.
Once the phone is received it is inspected for any physical or liquid damage. If damage is found you are then billed for the phone and the charge will appear on your bill. You will also receive a text message advising you of the charge. Once you are billed the charge cannot be removed even if you return the replacement.
If you change your mind and do not want to have the phone replaced you can just return the replacement once you receive it and keep your current phone. Just use the prepaid return label that will be inside the box of the replacement.
If you are sure there hasn't been any damage then there is nothing to worry about. You will not be charged. You can also take the phone into a store and have a store representative take a look at the phone before you return it, if that makes you feel better.

Need help with Java, have a few questions about my Applet

Purpose of the program: To create a mortgage calculator that will allow the user to input the loan principal then select 1 of 3 choices from a combo-box (7 years @ 5.35%, 15 years @ 5.50%, 30 years @ 5.75%).
Problem: My program was working properly (so I thought). I can get the program to properly compile and run through TextPad. However, I noticed that when the user clicks the calculate more than once (with the same input), it slightly alters the output calculations. So that is my first question, Why is it doing that? How can I get it only calculate that information once unless the user changes it etc?
My next question is regarding my exit button. I was told by my instructor (who has already stated he won't help any of us) that my exit button does not work for an applet and only for an application. So, how can I create an exit button that will work with an applet? I thought I did it right but I can't find any resources online for this.
Next question, why isn't my program properly validating invalid input? My program should only allow numeric input and nothing more.
And last question, when invalid input is entered and the user clicks calculate, why isn't my JOptionPane window for error messages not displaying?
I know my code is a little long so I have to post this in two messages. Please don't criticize me for what I am doing, that is why I am learning and have come to this forum for help. Thanks

I have a few questions about Airport...

Hi.
Recently, I've just started to use my internet connection wirelessly via Airport. I'm a bit nervous about my security. I'm using a WPA Personal password type (which is very long and contains multiple text and number characters) in order to access my router's network distribution.
Am I right in thinking that, if any neighbouring persons wished to connect to my wireless network, they would need my WPA Personal password in which to do so?
Also, if somebody was to connect to my wireless network, how can I monitor them, and others who may be connected (i.e. how can I obtain their IP address, computer name, network name, etc)?
Thanks for your time,
onlyone-jc.

You are absolutely correct in your assumption that with WPA implamented.
It is not possible for anyone to access your network without you first giving them your password. They are able to see your network name but thats all they can do. This is the same with your computer, you can go up to your Airport Signal Strength Meter and see any Network in range of your computer.
There are several different programs available at.

You will have to search through to find exactly what all is available.
There are different programs that give you several different options

Have a few questions about photos

I made a few folders on my mac to help separate my pictures for easier navigation. I wanted to know how to change the album cover photo. The picture right now is a picture of that flower. I wanted to make the album cover one of the pictures in the folder. Is that possible???
Also, do I have to keep those new folders on my mac? I'm guessing I have to. Since you have to keep anything you sync onto your phone on the computer otherwise it deletes next time you sync it

You can't change the icon of the iPhone's Photos application, or the icon for the iPhone's Photo Library, which is where all photos transferred from your computer are stored.
I use iPhoto on my Mac for importing photos from a digital camera and for photo storage and management. With an iPhoto Event or Album, you can designate a photo within the Event or Album to be the photo for the Event or Album, which will be transferred to your iPhone when syncing photos with iPhoto. I'm not sure if the same is available when manually managing photos on your Mac and if so, how this is done.
If you delete photos from your computer's hard drive that are selected to be transferred to your iPhone after transferring the photos to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process, the photos will be deleted from your iPhone with the next sync.

I have a few questions about 5th gen ipod

My iPod has a very sluggish transfer rate for my music and I wanna connect it with the firewire cable I got with my old mini. When I do I get a message saying it's not supported on the ipod. Does anyone know if that is just me or if there is a firmware update.
Also I have both a iMac G4 flat panel and a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. I've had some video problems with my iMac(as you might have seen) and I am thinking of selling it on ebay, does anyone know how I can transfer the music from the mac to the windows laptop without networking or installing the ipod on the windows and transferring through that?
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Linda
iMac G4 17 inch screen Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPod Video black, iPod Mini grey, Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop/ Windows XP SP2

When I do I get a message saying it's not supported on the ipod. Does anyone know if that is just me or if there is a firmware update.
The 5th Gen iPods do not support Firewire for data transfer. You can only charge via Firewire. This is not a firmware issue. There's no firewire controller in the 5th Gen iPod.
does anyone know how I can transfer the music from the mac to the windows laptop without networking or installing the ipod on the windows and transferring through that?
Your iMac probably has a CD-RW drive. If so, just burn the tracks as a Data/MP3 CD, and then import that CD into your iTunes library on the Windows machine. You can fit hundreds of tracks on a DATA/MP3 CD.

HT4528 hey so i have a few questions about my phone. who can help? first my phone makes no sound unless music is playing or im talking, other than that i cannot get it to ring when people call. second do i need to take it in if it freezes alot.

About to go to College have a few questions about pages....

How do i turn auto complete or w/e its called. When i use word it automatically fixes the spelling of a word i slightly spelled wrong, is there anyway to do that on pages. i already found the auto capitalization and all that stuff but still no solution to that. also, is there really no need to buy anti virus for my macbook. i know that mac os is supposed to be impenetrable but i wanna make sure this lasts. thanks

There is not an auto-complete in Pages as there is in Word. You have found the Auto-correction preferences which is not the same thing.
There are some third-party programs you can use such as Typinator, TypeIt4Me & TextExpander. Do a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker. I use Typinator because I got it with a MacUpdate Promo bundle. These have the advantage of working in any program with text input.

Few questions about mac pro before buying

Hello all!
I may be buying a mac pro in a month or so and have a few questions about it.
1. ) Any one know when Apple may release the latest mac pro? Don't wanna buy some thing that'll be significantly obsolete in a few days
2. ) Is it possible to use SATA optical drives internally? I have a SATA blu ray drive I'd like to take from my PC, if that's possible.
3. ) Is it possible to get a graphics cards better than the 8800 GT for video games? (For use in OS X)
4. ) Finally, is there a significant performance difference between Apple's seemingly super expensive RAM and 3rd party RAM? (Other than the heat syncs)
Thanks for any replies.

1. We have no idea when Apple will release any product until it's released. This is a user-to-user site so we have no more information about future products than you do.
2. Yes, it's possible. There are two additional SATA ports on the motherboard.
3. The only graphic cards are those provided by Apple when you order the computer as well as the non-Apple supplied ATI HD-3870 Mac/PC card. The 8800 and 3870 have close performance specs. You can find some benchmarks at Bare Feats.
4. There's no difference between the RAM Apple installs and what you can purchase on the open market. As long as the RAM meets the required specifications and has the requisite heat sink it will work just fine.

Few questions about iPhone 4S

Hi,
Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
1) How long should a healthy battery last?
2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
Thanks

I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
Would you like to clarify? Concisely.

A few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.

I have a few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.
1) I understand I need at least 1GB of RAM to run Parallels Desktop but what about the hard drive, is the stock 60GB drive big enough?
2) Related to question 1, even if it was big enough to allow me to install and run Windows would the 60GB drive be enough if I wanted to install a Linux distribution as well?
3) This has nothing to do with Parallels Desktop but thought I'd ask it here anyway, do Apple Stores carry just the stock MacBooks, or do they carry other configurations?
Thanks

1. Depend on how intensive you use that HD for saving data on both Mac OS and XP. For standard installation on both OS X and XP, the space of 60 Gb is enough.
2. Same answer as no 1. You can install all three on that HD space, but the extra spacce available will be less and less for your data. You can save your data on external or back up on cd/dvd and erase it from the HD to keep the free space.
Remember to leave at least 2 or 3 Gb for virtual memory usage.
3. Just call them, maybe they don't have it in store stock, but by appointment they might configure one for you before your pick-up date.
Good Luck
