How can I best upgrade basic to smartphone
I see lots of conflicting posts about upgrading and keeping a basic plan.
I have 3 basic phones an a shareplan 700 that is long past it's 2 yr contract and only one phone uses text, for which I pay extra for limited texts.
I qualify for upgrading all three phones under what was called upgrade every 2 yrs.
Is it really possible to keep the shareplan 700 and upgrade to 2 smartphones and pay for an add-on data plan for $30/1GB?
And adding on the data is advertised as shareable across all devices. Does that mean devices in the account, specifically
2 smartphones? Or does it mean devices other than a smartphone?
If it is possible then do I understand correctly that first I add-on data option to the account and then upgrade the phones? And when I do this exactly how do I make sure I don't get switched to the new style plan?
thanks
I'm assuming your keeping one basic phone and want 2 smartphones. Under the 700 minute plan pricing that should be $60 for the first line $10 each for 2 lines total $80. The you'd have to get two 2 GB data plans at $30 each. That's $60. So that would be $140 plus whatever your current texting plan costs( you didn't say ). Plus taxes/fees. No sharing of data.
Under Share Everything you'd have 3 "lines access" charges two $40 charges for the smartphones, a $30 charge for a basic phone so a total of $110. 1 GB of data would be $50 so a total of $160 plus taxes/fees. Minutes and texting would be unlimited on all lines. All 3 lines can share the data as well as any device connected via hotspot. Though I would say 1 GB is not nearly enough for 2 smartphones if you plan on using the hotspot feature.

im on osx snow leopard but the lion is no longer available on app store. How can i still upgrade to lion? my computer by the way is not compatible with mountain lion. thanks
Hello royalaqua,
I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year. Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases. Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too. -
Hello everyone. I've got a macbook pro running on mac os x 10.6.8; trying to set up norton antivirus and it requires mac os x 7 or later. How can I safely upgrade to mac os. 7?
leroydouglas is correct, DO NOT install Norton or any other commercial anti virus software. They all work very poorly with Macs. If you insist on AV software, consider Sophos, it is free.
If you do wish to update your OSX, here are the available options:

How can I best make use of all my devices ? Mac mini, Apple TV, AirPort Extreme, airport express, ipad 2 (all purchased in 2011) and an old imac with OS X. I use my iPhones personal hotspot for all Internet.
Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials. And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online. Hope you can find good use for them. Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy. I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

How can I retrieve the "Basic" menu on Lightroom 5? I accidentally bumped something while working in the Develop module of Lightroom 5, and now the Tone Curve menu is directly under the Tool Bar, with no option to click on "Basic."
Right-click on Tone Curve and choose basic again or press Ctrl+1 in Develop.
On Mac (Control-Click or Cmd+1) -
How can I best load RAW images from a Canon SX50?
How can I best load RAW images from a Canon SX50?
9Sorry, ........confused about this process. When I attempted to Post the question I had entered, I was told a blank space could not be posted. So, I reentered the Q in the "space"........ which apparently was the space for an answer....!! ??......)
> When I try to load RAW images taken by my Canon SX50 from the SD card, iPhoto 11 - (iMac/OSX 10.6.8) tells me that it can't read the format or something like that. OSX 10.6.8 came out before the SX50, thus, did not include the related program. I want to shoot RAW on the SX50....... but I then want to load them into iPhoto....... which I do directly from pics I take with my Nikon D200.
Not sure if this will help............. -
How can I update the "basic" Adobe Flash Player that is in my Samsung Smart TV?
How can I update the "basic" Adobe Flash Player that is in my Samsung Smart TV?
Any update would come from Samsung, but in low-margin products like TVs, it's pretty uncommon for OEMs to provide ongoing maintenance over a large span of years. You may find that you'll get a better experience from a dedicated streaming box like ChromeCast/Roku/etc.

how can i get upgrade the ios x v 10.5.8? I purchased an iphone 5 but cannot connect with my macbook 5. I cannot update itune 11 as my ios is not up to date
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard. -

How can i download visual basic on mac??
how can i download visual basic on mac?
Not download and run on OS X. You can run Windows on your computer via Boot Camp or using virtualization software like Parallels. But MS does not have a Mac compatible version of VB
There are third-party Basics for OS X, however they are not VB. The closest to VB is probably REAL Basic.
OS X's own programming environment is XCode which is a free download via the App Store. It is a development environment that uses C as the compiler language. XCode is a visual development environment, too. -
How can learn the very basics of Pixelmator?
How can I learn the very basics of using Pixelmator? I have no graphic arts experience beyond WOrd Art which I've used to design t-shirt graphics. Although I had been encouraged to by Photo Shop, I wanted a smaller $ step into graphics art and was introduced to Pixelmator.
But I don't even know enough about how to start creating my ideas....e.g. how to even create artful text...... Pixelmator has a good learning site, but all of their tutorials seem to assume a basic knowledge of this kind of software.
My sister suggested I try to hook-up with a tutor through an Apple Forum....
Suggestions please?!The folks at PixelmatorTutorials.net have in my opinion the best tutorials to date for those who want to learn image editing. They have a series of tutorials called back to basics and these go into the details of image editing. Explaining everything from what a pixel is, to how it gets its color etc. They also explain the app itself in detail. I'd recommend following them. They usually pubilish 1 to 2 tutorials a week. They have some handy tips in every tutorial I watched so far. Like shorcuts that I never knew existed and are not even mentioned in the Pixelmator manual.

2.My phone's OS IS MICROSOFT SMARTPHONE 2003, can you tell me that if there is no MIDP ,where can I get it . and How to install it .
If I have some errors about concepts,could you please point them out .
Thanks very much !i think Microsoft does not OS's with MIDP installed in them.
