The phones on the us site appear to me to be  the unlocked phones. the contract phones are even cheaper . Australian taxes account for a 10% price diference but really all the Apple products sold in Australia are at least 30% more expensive than in the US and other markets . Why are the local (Aus) apple retailers continuing to price gouge . The ACCC must act to stop this blatant con job..
There are no options currently on the USA Apple online store site to pre-order unlocked iPhone 5's.  The iPhone 5's currently available for pre-order are only availble by selecting a carrier and agreeing to a 2year contract.  The prices listed are all contract-subsidized prices.

    Could someone please explain why this has happened.
    This is not the first time I have seen this happen
    86.134.3.68 26.84 up 6.92 down 10ms 30/10/2014
    31.54.152.172 28.57 up 6.23 down 10ms  29/10/2014
    I had been connected for 13 days + hours and overnight bt did its thing with my HH3 and changed my
    ip address.
    So why after being connected with constant speed test results on ip 31.54.152.172 should my upload speed
    drop from 28.57 to 26.84
    Nothing has changed no powercuts no resets same equipment so why?

    They could well be rebalancing the gateways to share throughput more equally. There have been lots of reports of people getting massive slowdowns during peak hours.

  • The Director role is optional in Lync Server 2013 - could anyone please explain why the director server has lost its importance??

    Could anyone please explain why the director has been removed from spotlight as it had much importance in LYNC 2010 and now being an optional role in LYNC server 2013.[any call flows regarding director servers would be much useful]

    Hi SJ Praveen,
    A Director is a server running Lync Server 2013 that authenticates user requests, but does not home any user accounts. Lync 2013 Front End servers have the same registrar service and functionality
    as the Director.
    The Director isn't providing any special functionality. If the Director goes down, all pools would become inaccessible when the clients queried DNS for the SRV record until an administrator
    makes a manual internal DNS change that points users to a Front End pool to handle the sign-in request from Lync clients. Microsoft has made the Director functionality relevant for organizations that have specific security requirements, such as allowing all
    external users to register to a specific internal server instead of the Front End servers. This server role is merely optional and not needed for most Lync Server 2013 deployments.
    Best regards,
    Eric

    Older iPads got 3G service and were called Wi-Fi + 3G. Newer iPads can connect to faster cellular networks and those are given different names by the major carrier so to simplify things Apple calls the newer models Wi-Fi + Cellular.
    iPads with 3G or Cellular are NOT used like a mobile phone. They do not make phone calls or send SMS or MMS text messages, They do connect to the data network and can connect to the web.

  • HT2493 Could someone please explain colour tags?

    I do not understand the use of colour tags on my Macbook air. Could someone please explain?

    The colours are incidental. They are NOT labels any more. You will be frustrated if you try to use Tags to visually find your files.
    The advantages of tags are this: you can add as many tags to a file as you like. They provide additional metadata so that you can query your file system. In a typical hierarchical file sytem (folders, subfolder), a file can only be in one place (unless you use aliases).
    If I have "Cheeses > France > Soft" as my folders, I can put all the French soft cheese into one folder. But all the English soft cheese are in England > Soft. So what if I want to list ALL the soft cheeses, not just the ones from France? By tagging all the files with "Soft", I can then click on the Tag Smart Folder and list the soft cheeses in both countries' folders all at once.
    If used creatively, you could have ALL the files in your Documents folder in one big heap, and then only view subsets of them according to their Tags. Tags represents a complete alternative to using folders to sort your files.
    In a sense, a subfolder is simply a Tag in a tree-like structure.
    So, instead of trying to visually find some files in a list using coloured labels, you can now query the file system by creating Smart Folders that give you a list of files that match your query: files with Tag X, in folder Y, of type PDF, bigger than 2 MB, containing the word "trumpet".
    Visually scouring a folder for files is not as efficient as directly querying the system, even if it is engrained and familiar.

  • Could someone please explain to me how to file a bug report?

    Hi,
    I had a problem recently with a bug in uevnts. I found a workaround for it, However when I went to open a bug that had similar symptoms the user got mad and closed the bug. Could someone please explain to me what I need to do to correctly file a bug report, and please don't say read the wiki. As in order to get log files, I need to know where they are, etc...
    Thanks,
    MarcoRosso.

    What questions remain after consulting the wiki? Maybe you can post the bug report in question, so it will be easier for others to point out how you could have responded more constructively. First general place to look for log files is /var/log/*.

    Could someone please explain to me how to set-up my Apple ID so that both my password AND security questions have to be answered before access is granted? Is this possible? I am not very computer smart, so could you explain step-by-step!Very Appreciated!

    The security questions will only be asked on the first purchase on a computer or device (though people have occasionally posted that they've asked for them when it isn't the first time) - I'm not aware of any way to change that. You can force the password to be required on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password set to 'Immediately' (the default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need re-entering)

  • Could someone please explain what "Run Spindump" & "Run System Diagnostics" does in 'Activity Monitor' ?

    Could someone please explain what "Run Spindump" & "Run System Diagnostics" does in 'Activity Monitor' ?

    Good question.  You don't need to worry about running those.  They will run automatically when needed by the system.  The information they generate (some) is sent to apple automatically (unless that setting is disabled).
    If you want to look at the output of these files, most can be found in the console (Utility/Console).  Open the app and look at all the system messages your Mac generates....on the right hand side I would bet you already have a crash log or spindump that was collected without you even knowing it.

  • Could someone please explain where I can find the 'built in' imessage app for my MacBook Air so I can place it on my dock?

    Forgive my ignorance, but would someone please explain how to set up imessages (with FaceTime) on my MacBook Air dock? I thought it was built in - but do not see it when I search apps. Many thanks.

    Choose Applications from the Finder's Go menu and drag Messages and/or FaceTime to the Dock. If the computer's running 10.7.5 or earlier, it won't have Messages, and if it's running 10.6.8 or earlier, needs to get FaceTime from the Mac App Store.

  • SOMEONE please explain why BEA has 2 workshop IDE's ?!?!?!?!?

    Hello,
    Could some PLEASE explain to me why BEA has a workshop 9.2 and a Workshop Studio (NitroX) ?!?!?
    Are they going to merge Studio/NitroX into workshop 9.2.x ??
    Would I be wrong in thinking that Workshop 9.2 (with it's NETUI) is just waiting to die, and that eventually studio will become the core IDE product?
    Thanks,
    K

    Not to start a flame war, but it makes sense to me.
    Studio is built on Eclipse, Workshop 9.2 is built on Eclipse. NitroX was
    part of an acquisition and like many acquisitions I'm sure it will take
    time to integrate it fully into the BEA product suite. Hopefully in the
    future both Studio and Workshop 9.2 will work together nicely.
    I don't see why one would survive and the other wouldn't. Thats what I'm
    hoping for, but until one of us has info into the exec's future
    strategy, we can only guess what is in store.
    I don't see a huge difference between Studio and Workshop, only tooling
    differences available in both. I use Studio for my webapp development
    (love AppXray) and Workshop for all my other development.
    ekwiatek, in one of your earlier posts you mention NETUI support
    ("""Workshop 9.2 (with it's NETUI) is just waiting to die"""), what
    gives you that indication?
    ekwiatek, can you comment on why this (2 IDEs) is an issue?

    BEA's action's are very confusing.....BEA buys an IDE framework (Nitrox) that is very different from one they are in the process of newly deploying, they hype BOTH (actually "BEA developer days" just hyped Studio which is even more confusing), and then they want us to jump on one of the two IDE bandwagons (studio vs workshop), but they aren't going to tell us which framework is going to survive?!?!? BUT, oh, hey, they will give us a migration tool to ease the transition :) OR I can just grab elcipse and
    code by hand , targeting jboss. Do I really save any time using BEA's IDE if I have to port/re-develop my applications every few months while they secretly develop a marketing strategy for their IDE?!?!?
    But on the postive side, we saw WLI 9.2 workshop, and it seemed good.

  • Constructors, could someone please explain

    When an object is created does a constructor HAVE to be created straight after, or does a constructor have to be
    be created before the object?
    Also could someone please briefly explain toString
    Thankyou, it would be a great help

    Actually, constructors do not create objects. They simply initialize objects that have been created.
    You don't have to supply a constructor for classes you write. If you choose not to write one, Java will supply one for you by default (it'll take zero parameters).
    ToString() is a member function of class Object. It's a good function for you to include in your classes, too. What it should do is transform the salient members of your object into string form. (In fact, when you call System.out.println ("Foo " + foo + " bar " + bar);, what's really happening is that the two references to your object variables, foo and bar, turn into function calls to foo.toString() and bar.toString().
    Read "Effective Java" for a good discussion of what a toString function should (and shouldn't!) do...
