How can I get better reception?

I live on a farm on the edge of the Hampton Roads VA area (Norfolk, Newport News, Virginia Beach). Customer service tells me I'm about 3 miles from the nearest cell tower. The MiFi reception seems to work well enough, but since I work remotely half the time, I run out of GB's even though I'm on the largest plan right before the end of each billing month. To avoid the outrageous over charges, I switch to using the hotspot function on my Droid for the last few days of each billing month.
The signal for that device is lousy and have a difficult time even staying connected. Had to restart the hotspot 5 times to complete the registration here and write this post.
I don't have access to DSL or any cable services (if I did, I'd drop my Verizon Wireless non-voice services completely).
Does anyone know of or can suggest any way to boost signal for better service? I have called customer service numerous times and they don't seem to either know or want to help.

Hello. I have two suggestions that might help your situation.
Assuming you work indoors and that it degrading your signal, you could get a "booster" (no, not those cheesy stick-on things from TV). I live in a "black hole" for cell reception and purchased a Wi-Ex Zboost signal amplifier. There are different models and also other companies that make them. Basicall it's an amplifier. You put a foot-long tube on your roof (or probably in your case, you would need a directional antenna) and run coax into the area where your home office is. Here is a link that should help. http://www.wi-ex.com/solutions.aspx You can get add-on antennas so you don't necessarily have to get the professional model.
The other suggestion, since you indicated a willingness to change providers, is to go with a satellite system. Probably the most expensive system, but just another suggestion.
Good luck. Hope that helps.

I'm getting a very low signal from my Blackbird interface. The fire wire connection is selected properly and track recording sliders set. However the recording level slider in the lower right corner is grayed out. How can I get better signal?

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

How can I get better looking slow mo??

Right now when I retime my vdieos in fcpX the movement gets blurred and looks like sh** its really annoying. How can i get my videos slowed down without losing the sharpness, and by getting rid of the motion blur?? CHEERS!!

Getting good, or great results depends quite a lot on your source video.
Use a tripod, not hand held. (or attached to your surf board)
Use progressive.
Shoot 60p fps and conform it to either 30 or 24 fps. (50% or 40%)
Shoot with a high shutter speed, at least double your frame rate.
Try not to pan, a moving subject with a moving background is more difficult to slow down.
Optical flow can improve things, but that depends a lot on what you're trying to slow down. Products like Twixtor have much more control than FCP X's optical flow option, but I don't think they have a plug-in for FCP X.
Some of the best examples you'll see on the web (really slow stuff like 10%) are typically shot with a DSLR, on a tripod, really high shutter speed and only one moving object. (person flying off a skate board)
If you don't have the option to control what and how the video is shot, then you really won't get very good results. I would suggest only slowing it down 50%, or conform from 60 to 30. But if it's interlaced, then you really only have 30 frames to work with. (or 60 fields)

How can I get better video quality using my appleTV

I have an appleTV (1st) and I want to get better quality from youtube videos, What should I do ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
YouTube video does not come from the main YouTube site, it is specially encoded for the Apple TV and other devices that don't play flash. Generally quality is fixed with no way to adjust it and is often restricted by the quality of the video that has been uploaded.

How can I get better picture quality?

it seems like the picture quality could be better.

Why would expect the picture quality to be better? The camera on iPad was designed with one thing in mind - Facetime. The rear camera is 1.3 Megapixel. The front camera is .7 megapixel. Neither are even close to an inexpensive point and shoot camera and not even the same camera as is supplied with iPhone 4. Sorry you're disappointed, but it's not camera quality. Now, that said, in bright light, the rear facing camera can take an acceptable picture. In lower light, it will be grainy as the specs would suggest.

Every new update seems to bring slow or lagging performance to Firefox. How can I get better performance?

Just updated to 7.0 and now to 7.01 and have performance issues on my fire breathing Win 7 64 system. I am constantly getting the refresh blue circle and screen dimming...this will go on for a couple of minutes and I have to go to the Task Manger to end process to get out of firefox.

I had the same issue on my Win 7 64 bit system. The browser became incredibly slow. I found these performance tweaks which have made and amazing difference in 7.01.
http://techfragments.com/news/538/Software/The_12_Best_Firefox_AboutConfig_Performance_Tweaks.html
I did not make the ram tweak and the tweak for content.notify.backoffcount actually made things worse. Other tweaks I did not do are the browser blink, mouse to paste, and source editor since these really don't seem performance related.

How can I get better performance with OSX on my iMac G3?

I just recently got a G3 iMac running at 400mhz with 512 mb of RAM, and it has OS 10.4.10. I am relatively new to Macs; its been a few years since I've used one.
So, it actually runs surprisingly well, but I'm wondering if theres a way to sort of tone the visuals to make it run a little faster. I loaded windows XP pro onto an older dell that I just had sitting around, and was able to tone down the visuals enough to make it run very well on a 500 mhz machine with 256 mb of RAM, so I'm sure if I can tone down XP enough for an old computer, I can do the same with OSX.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are somewhat limited by the 400MHz processor speed. Increasing your RAM will be helpful. Look at these links

After you upgrade to 10.6 and update to 10.6.8 you can buy version 10.8 online at the Mac App Store.

How can I get the sound to be of a better quality when I make a video on my iPhone?

I am trying to change or add the email address which is attached to my itunes account. I keep getting a notice saying email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Im sure its one of my devices. How can I get my current email address added?

My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
thanks for any assistance.

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.
