Have U found a way to use a Blackberry Curve as a modem for a PowerBook G4?

I just purchased a Blackberry Curve mobile phone. I am still running Mac OS X version 10.4.11.
One of the selling features for the curve is that it can work as the modem for a laptop via bluetooth.
However, I spent hours on the phone with both T-Mobile tech support and Blackberry support to just find out from Blackberry tech support that the Curve's modem feature is only set up to support PCs.
So, I was wondering if any brilliant minds out there have figured out a way around this?
If you do, could you please respond to [email protected]? Thanks.

Actually, it works with PPT for Windows because Microsoft MADE it work that way. It's why apps like EasyWorship (a windows only church lyric presentation app) can fire PPT files right in the app. There's some transparent control api that PPT has (or there's a third party company that makes it possibly) that just doesn't exist on the Mac.
Personally I wish Apple would build the Keynote engine INTO the OS in Snow Leopard so we can just be done with this issue. Then you could open Keynote files in say, QT or have ANY app be able to play Keynote files correctly. You'd just have to have Keynote to edit them. This would make things SO much more flexible.
QT can open and Play Motion files, why not Keynote?

Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?

I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?

Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)

Google can be your friend. Watch this YouTube video as it appears you can tether a Blackberry to an iPad.

Can I use a Nokia N80 as a modem for my G4 PowerBook?

I'm about to spend a month in Italy and will take my G4 PowerBook with me. I need to buy a new mobile phone and thought that if I buy the Nokia N80 Internet Edition I can also use it as a modem for my PowerBook and connect using UMTS or EDGE. I already have a prepaid SIM card with TIM (Italian mobile service provider).
Has anyone successfully used the N80 with their G4 PowerBook?

Recently changed my email provider. However, Calendar continues to try to send alerts to my old email provider. I have not found any way to tell Calendar to use the correct email address. I have chained iCloud, AppleID, and local email settings.

Sorry for the long title - I thought I had to explain my entire problem there ...
I recently switched ISPs, so now I have a new email address. I've updated mail, can send and receive successfully, recreated my iCloud account, and made sure my Contacts entry was correct. But Calendar's alert function stubbornly tries to send email to my old email address. I haven't found any way to change the list of email addresses that Calendar uses. This is the Calendar desktop app, not iCal. Any tips would be appreciated.

So what was the solution. I have a similar problem on all of my devices now

HT201302 When I travel with my SLR I like to transfer all photos to the iPad so that they are more easily edited and viewed by others, using the camera kit. Occasionally I would like to export photos - I have not found a way to do this. Can you help?

I occasionally have the need to export photos from the iPad to an SD card (photos that were imported using the camera kit). This is useful for e.g. to print photos while travelling. So far I have not found this functionality anywhere, including in any apps available on iTunes. Can anyone help?

The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files from a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.

Waiting for activation have not found a way to fix this

Ok so I'm overseas and I cannot use cellular data because I don't want to get billed a crazy amount however when using wifi the first week I was here I was able to text and face time with no problem. Then we went for a week to the country with no solid internet connection however we set up a very weak hotspot using a tablet, that's when I noticed I wasn't able to text and I saw the message waiting for activation since it took around 5 mins to load a web page I figured it was just a problem with the internet and I ignored it. Now we are back in the city (where we were when it worked fine the first week) and I still have the same problem, I have read countless articles about how to fix this and nothing seems to work the only option I haven't tried is to wipe the phone and restore it with a backup however i can't do that since I am no where near my computer. So is there any one else having the same waiting for activation problem as me? Is there anything I can do, any help would be much appreciated.

Hello there, Captnpnut.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth and practical steps for troubleshooting the "Waiting for Activation" message:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
Particularly relevant for your issue:
If you see "Waiting for Activation", "Activation unsuccessful", or "An error occurred during activation"
These messages occur when your iPhone is trying to activate your phone number with iMessage or FaceTime.
To resolve these status messages, follow these steps. After each step, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that you have a cellular network connection with your cellular provider. You need a cellular network connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Go to www.apple.com in Safari to make sure that you have a data connection. You need a data connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime and iMessage.
Make sure that FaceTime hasn't been restricted: tap Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
Set iPhone to the correct time zone: tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messages. Restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration from completing.
If "Waiting for Activation" still appears after you perform these steps, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime. You may need to wait up to 24 hours to complete activation. Most attempts will take less than an hour, but some attempts may take up to 24 hours. If your issue isn't resolved after 24 hours, please contact Apple for assistance. If you've recently performed a remote wipe on your iPhone, wait 24 hours from the time you performed the remote wipe, and then turn iMessage off then back on.You can still activate iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID when these status messages appear. You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by tapping:
Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I have been attempting to re-install Firefox (per your instructions) with Internet Explorer, the only browser I have since Firefox went under.
I changed the Firefox folder to "Old Firefox" but now I am stuck for my attempts with a re-installation hang up "connecting" and the IX progress bar shows "Connecting to site eimg.net " and moves no further.
I really need your assistance. . . I require the new install of Firefox.

Please help
--David Lehr [email protected]

Now that you've renamed the folder, you just need to install a clean copy of Firefox.
If you don't have a working browser on the broken computer, you can download it on the computer you are chatting on now:
# Download the right version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html (Probably the US English version for Windows)
# When the file is saved, copy it to a flash drive, recordable CD/DVD, removable hard drive, digital camera card, or other disk.
# Take this disk to the computer where you renamed the folder, insert it, then run "Firefox Setup 3.6.7.exe" on this computer. Follow the steps to complete the install.
