How does AppleCare work if there are no Apple stores in the area?
Asking this for my mother who just purchased an iPhone 6 based on my suggestion that it was the easiest to learn coming from a flip phone.
She leaves in Ocala, FL and there are no Apple retail stores in the vicinity. When I looked up for 'authorized repair locations' the closest was over 45 minutes away in Gainesville, FL. Is there a way to purchase AppleCare+ and have local support within the greater Ocala, FL area... via Best Buy (where we got the phone), Verizon Wireless (our service) or any other repair services? Otherwise I may need to consider SquareTrade. Verizon and Best Buy insurance is very expensive for a 2 year plan.
I just want something where she will not be without a phone for days if it needs to be repaired.
Thanks for your reply,
Don

Another thing to consider. Square Trade, and the insurance you are talking about are different than Apple Care +. Apple Care + is an extension of the manufacturer's warranty. Square Trade and the Verizon and Best Buy insurance are just that, to cover the device if lost or stolen. That does not cover warranty work. Only Apple warranties the device. You are actually lucky there is an Apple Store that close. My closest one is 2 hours away. Others are less fortunate than that. But, as rbrylawski indicated, you can call Apple Care and ship the device to Apple for warranty service if necessary. The easiest way to prevent her from being without a phone is to take it to the store, but you can also ask for Apple Care to ship a phone to her before she sends hers back, but that requires a credit card and they put a hold for the cost of the phone until they receive the phone back.

My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.
Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. -

How does iPhoto work? What are the guts?
I am a recent switcher from Windows and have been running OSX since the black MacBooks have come out. I used and loved Picasa on windows for pics. I have been using iPhoto and have run into problems.
I am trying to get my head around just how iPhoto works. I am interested in how iPhoto imports, stores and works with photo libraries and photos. It seems extremely convoluted to me. Here is an example.
In my 'Pictures' folder, I have folders: 'Personal 2000' , 'Personal 2001' , 'Personal 2002' , etc, etc
- I open iPhoto and choose 'Import to Library...' I choose to import a single folder from 'Personal 2002' titled 'xmas'
- I now have in that same 'Pictures' folder a folder called: 'iPhoto Library'
- in the 'iPhoto Library' folder are now folders called:
- 'Data'
- 'Modified'
- 'Originals'
- In each of these new folders (data, modified, originals) are now folders with just years
-'2002'
- and then in '2002' in each of those folders there is a folder called 'xmas'
- and in each xmas folder there are now four copies of my original photo
So I have gone from one original photo to four photo in four different places. This is crazy! I am trying to get my head around things and understand how to work with iPhoto and organize things but I could use some help.
Please help me understand. Does the book iPhoto 6 the missing manual help explain????Mike
The point of iPhoto is that it does the file management for you.
It's a database, with built in image viewer and lightweight editing. The database is designed (like all databases) so that you interact with the data via the application, not the Finder.
So in your iPhoto Library Folder you will find various files that make up the Library, plus three Folders.
Originals: This contains the photos as they were downloaded from your camera (or scanner)
Modified: This contains the photos that you have edited or altered in any way - fixed red-eye, rotated, whatever. This allows you to use the Photos -> Revert To Originall command - which allows you to dump changes that you may not like.
The data folder contains the thumbnails that the app uses to display the pics in the iPhoto WIndow . SO you can see there is no actual duplication, but apparently much!
If you use iPhoto to do the file management then your folders become irrelevant, and once your content that the photos are safe in iPhoto you can trash them.
You can keep your own folders and do your own file management (go Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck Importing - Copy Files to iPhoto Library Folder ...) and then iPhoto will leave your file structure alone, However it will still make the data and Modifieds folders.
Through the iPhoto WIndow you can do everything you need to do with the photos. You can make slide shows and albums, keyword for fast searching, make smart self-updating albums, effortlessly export the files. Evne just drag and drop one to the desktop. In all caes iPhoto works with a COPY of the file, so that your original remains safe and sound. And of course, you can completlely recreate your folder organisation in the iPhoto WIndow .
I hope that's clear, if you have further questions feel free to ask more.

So I live in Canada and I purchased an iPhone 5 from Bell. I was reading about AppleCare+ and it sounds like a really great thing because it covers accidental damage. However, Bell sells iPhone insurance that covers accidental damage BUT it also covers loss and theft and it's $7.00/month. So I was wondering how it would work if I purchase AppleCare+ at the Apple Store and also get the coverage from Bell. The reason I want both is because Apple's deductible for accidental damage is only $50, whereas Bell's deductible is $250. BUT Bell covers loss and theft, whereas AppleCare+ does not. I'm just trying to think ahead here. For instance:
Let's say I drop my phone in the toilet and it gets fried. I take it to the Apple Store with my AC+ and they replace it for $50. Then later on I lose that phone or it gets stolen. Can I get that phone replaced by Bell under my Bell iPhone insurance? Or does it have to be the original phone only?
I know this is not a Bell forum, but this could go the other way too. Let's say my phone gets stolen or I lose it in a taxi and it's gone for good. Bell replaces it on my insurance plan with them and as I'm doing my happy dance with my new iPhone it goes flying out of my pocket and it gets smashed to smithereens. Would AppleCare+ still replace THAT phone even though it's not the original phone?
Confusing? I hope not. If anyone here can shed some light I'd really appreciate it. This is my first iPhone and I find all of this a bit overwhelming to understand. Thanks in advance!AppleCare for the iPod just extent hardware coverage for an additional year, now two-years total. It also extends the time you have free telephone support. See:

How does iCloud work? I find it confusing (I'm the complete opposite of tech savvy)
Mainly, I'm confused about backups. (FYI I have an iPhone 5s running on iOS version 7.1.2) How do I know if my phone is automatically backing up or not? Also, if I have already backed up my phone to iCloud, when I back it up again, if I have deleted things since the last backup (texts, photos, apps, contacts, whatever) are those deleted items still saved in the iCloud, or does the new backup replace the old one? Is there a way to delete things that I don't want saved to the cloud anymore? I already looked at the help topics and stuff online but still don't quite understand it all. Apple's wording just doesn't make sense to me. Any tips and tricks for using the clould and how it works are greatly appreciated.
There are a couple of ways of seeing whether it is automatically backing up.
Settings > iCloud > Backup will show the date of the last backup to iCloud
Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage (in the iCloud section, not the Storage section) > device name > shows the date and size of the latest backup.
A restore is all or nothing and will restore what was on your phone as of the last backup. You can delete the entire backup if desired by going to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage (in the iCloud section, not the Storage section) > device name and scroll to the bottom of the screen. -
How does charging work? What are the rates?
Just signed up for STG. Before I get going with it, just want to make sure I fully understand it.
- I call the local number assigned to the out of country one
- I'm charged local rates for the call (uses my normal cell minutes)
- My Skype account is charged for the call - same rates as when I use the software?

Hello,
1. Yes.
2. No. Your Skype account is charged with the cost of the call at the prevailing Skype call rate to wherever you are calling. You can use either a Call Plan or Skype Credit.
3. Yes.
Skype To Go number call costs break down into two parts:
1. Operator costs
Dialing your Skype To Go number is a local call in most cases. This may be included in the free minutes you get
from your operator.
2. Skype costs
The call is charged at Skype's low rates, the same as when
calling phones from Skype on your computer.
Effectively - for the cost of accessing your local STG # (it may be free within your cellphone Plan) you have the freedom of calling
anywhere at Skype rates using your cellphone or landline.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,

Is there a way to separate raw files from jpegs that are in one folder after downloading from camera when you shoot both together. I tried arrange or sort by kind but that does not work. It arranges all folders but not the files in the folder., Is there a way to separate raw files from jpegs that are in one folder after downloading from camera when you shoot both together.

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

My co-worker has given me his iPod to take home and transfer his music to my laptop, however, I am unable to access his music to download it to my computer. How does this work?
You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before. -
JDBC Adapter:- How does it work??
Dear Friends,
I would like to know the nuts and bolts of JDBC adapter.
1.)How does it work internally?Internally what does sap use?
2.)In my scenario i just need to access a sap table so Can i write my Java JDBC program to access it.?
3.)Is there any other way to sent data from Idocs to map to a external database with out using XI.?
thx,
jeevanHi Jeevan,
As far as the JDBC adapter goes, internally it uses, obviously JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity). Thus all the calls from this adapter are internally SQL Queries (Either Select, Insert, Update, Delete, Execute Stored Procedure) that are sent using Java JDBC API.
In Sender Configuration, it needs a Select and an Update query to be configured into it. It polls the External Database at specific intervals (Polling Interval in the Channel Configuration),i.e., it connects to the Database via a JDBC Connection and runs the select query. The data from the query is sent to XI as an XML Document. The update query is used to update the DB such that the same data is not picked again in the next poll. This is generally done through a status field. The select query's Where clause should pick records with one status and the update should change all those statuses so that the select does not pick them again.

In receiver configuration, the channels creates SQL statements from the XML Document it receives. This can be either Select, Insert, Update, Delete or Stored Procedure Call Statements. This requires you to give the receiver channel an XML Document in a pre-defined Schema.

Note that the kind of SQL Statement generated (Select, Update, etc) is dependent on the schema provided.

Menu Object; MANUAL option. What is this, and how does it work?
What is this... and, how does it work? Can't find documentation on this.
My knee-jerk reaction is, "are f'n kidding me?"... but, of course, you're not.
I must say, that is an incredibly useless option. How would that 'option" differ from simply making a text object (or text/rectangle/image combo or group) and creating a link?
What got me looking at this option was the hope to find some way to insert a dynamic "field" that could be used on a master page to display the current page title (of a page based on that master). Something similar to Word (and other applications) that you can enter information into a document property and then insert that information anywhere within the document by using a field code for that info. I don't know if there is an HTML code that could be used to accomplish this, in this case. Something that would refer to the page title.
Thanks for the info none-the-less. -
Hi,
I have a P875, and need to upgrade to W8 Pro.
I would prefer to do a clean install, in fact I would prefer to install a fresh 1Tb HDD ( £56 on Amazon ) and put Pro on that.( full version, not upgrade )
I think I understand that I will lose all the Tosh backup/recovery tuff, but thats ok.
But what Im unsure about is this new UEFI system. I understand BIOS in CMOS, and flashing it, but how does UEFI work, and is it HDD based. Will replacing HDD with a blank have any effect ???
I remember when....... and arent Policemen getting younger !
Denniswie
Solved!
Go to Solution.Satellite P875-31P (PSPLFE-00P008EN)
I bet that the necessary files are not already on the HDD, and it will involve visiting MS site to download the necessaries once upgrade license is received.
The process is painless. It goes like this.
Point to the upper-right corner of the screen and click Search. Enter add features in the search box and then click Settings. Click Add features to Windows 8 and then click I want to buy a product key online. You will be prompted through the steps to buy a product key from there.
Let us know whether additional files are downloaded.
