How does GPS work with Google Maps?

So far I always use GPS with Google Maps and do not understand other usage. I find it is very useful for some places where I do not know exactly where it is. I do not really know how it is working. I learnt that the built-in GPS receiver must be working in an opening field - seeing the sky. I find it works in shopping malls, offices, cars, etc. where they cannot see the sky. I got the answers from my friends that A-GPS, cellular network and internet are replaced with GPS to provide the location or search your target if the location cannot see sky. It sounds the GPS is not much useful as more than 50% of actual usage without seeing the sky. Can someone shed some light on to me how my iPhone 4 is working with Google Maps in real life.

It starts by getting a quick rough estimation of your location using nearby cell towers or WiFi hotspots (if WiFi is on). Then it gradually pinpoints your location to a greater degree of accuracy as the various GPS satellites register your location.
Obviously, no GPS system can work if the device cannot "see" the satellites well. That's governed by the laws of physics, which is why the iPhone also uses cell towers and WiFi hotspots to assist.

How does Remote work with Apple TV?

How does Remote work with Apple TV?
1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
OR
Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
(If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
thank you in advance, Tom

Remote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

How does QoS work with WAAS WCCP? What's the interaction between Router QoS Traffic Classification and WAE Traffic Application Policy?

By default, WAAS preserves the DSCP marking on intercepted packets. There is a configuration option to set/override the DSCP value at the global (device), application, and classifier levels. Currently WAAS provides marking only. There is no action taken by WAAS based on the DSCP value.

I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud.

I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud. Is iCloud pushing my phone's PhotoStream to my computer if it doesn't have the latest OS? Thanks so much for whoever can help!

iCloud will not work with your computer because iCloud requires Lion. Lion requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better. For you to have iCloud and PhotoStream you would need to buy a newer Mac Intel model meeting the requirements for Lion:
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

How does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

how does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

Greetings,
So far, everything seems as stable as before. Which doesn't actually mean its rock solid, but otherwise workable. I'm running a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24DSP with beta audio drivers. So far, everything is running well. I decided to jump into the 64bit work environment with Logic. I have yet to encounter huge problems with the 32bit audio bridge. Just making sure I bounce everything that is 32bit.
As for everything else within Logic, I can't say I hate Lion. Matter of fact, Lion seems buggier than Logic at the moment. Logic handles well in Lion, but Lion on its own overall is a different can of worms. I am mixed about a 10.7.1 update. Usually, it fixes something on the OS, but breaks something else in Logic.
I have faith that Lion will turn out to be as solid as Snow Leopard. SL was my favorite OSX so far. Lion still leaves allot to be desired in terms of stability.
Again, answer to your question: for me, Logic and Lion play nice.............for now.

EPrint does not work with Google Apps for Business (hosted email)

I have looked up numerous posts, from back into 2011 even, and HP still has not resolved this.
HP's ePrint does not work with companies using Google Apps for Business (hosted email).
Our emails come from our domain, but from the servers/DNS of Google, so we wind up getting
the "550 5.7.1 Command Rehected" error.
This is a major issue as more and more companies (especially small business owners) are moving away
from having in-house/Exchange servers, and they are moving toward hosted systems.
You really need to find a way to stop rejecting emails coming from Google Apps hosted email.
It's been around 4 years now (looking at previous posts). Why hasn't HP found a resolution to this yet?

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.
They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number.

If I use my own domain with mobileme, does it work with google search?

I've noticed something, I used to only access my page with web.me.com/NAME and it shows up relatively at the top of of the google search results when I search for NAME or things related to me.
Since then I have started using my own domain which I have bought from godaddy.com. Now I'm not sure if I am doing it right, but at godaddy, I setup this forward to web.me.com/NAME as a 301 site move. When I type in my own domain, it gets redirected ok but the problem is it never shows up in google. It doesn't show up if i search for "mydomainname" or "mydomainname.com" or anything.
Any ideas? Does forwarding (cloak) does not work with search engines?

You are referring to IP addresses and Nameservers. You DON'T need these if you are using CNAME forwarding. They are not required.
Normally, when you set up CNAME forwarding you would delete the A record and set-up CNAME in its place. At least this is what I had to do when I used CNAME forwarding with MobileMe. I went to my DNS settings and there were A records against both @ and www. I had to delete both of these and set up new records, one for @ with CNAME that pointed to web.me.com and then the other for www, CNAME that also pointed to web.me.com.
What you have done sounds right, in that your domain name is pointing to web.me.com that is where your new website is with iWeb/MobileMe.
I think your problem is due to your old website that you created with Microsoft Office Live. You seem to have used the same domain name with this? If so, have you deleted your old site that you created with Microsoft Office Live?
I don't quite know how Microsoft Office Live works, but I know that you can create a site with them quite quickly using their templates and colour themes, although it is limited as to what you can do and probably is not as good as iWeb. Did you register the domain name through them and then publish? How do you publish to their server? You need to remove this site totally from the server so that your domain name will just be linked to your iWeb/MobileMe site.
I think the problem lies with your old site and Microsoft Office Live rather than your CNAME settings at GoDaddy. Investigate this first.

How does it work with an iPad?

Thinking about buying an Airport for my iPad to boost the wifi signal any know how the Airport works with an iPad?

An Airport will not boost a WiFi signal. Period.
An Airport can be configured to extend (repeat) a WiFi signal generated by another Airport. This is done to extend the distance of the WiFi system but it does cause a loss of throughput (because of overhead).
I wanted to get a WiFi signal out to my back porch. I turned off the radio on my existing router (Westell) and purchased TWO Airport Express units. One replaced the Westell radio and the other functions as an extender. Works like a champ.

Safari 8 hover does not work over google map location pins

OS X 10.10.1, Safari 8, Java 8-25
I have always had little odd things not work when using safari on a large % of websites I visit, the latest issues are
no response when hovering over google map location pins, travel site calendars not opening or responding to mouse, drag and drop
show the item being dragged several inches away from the actual pointer, some links don't respond, missing items
or odd layout with print or pop ups going off the screen on some website pages, zooming in and out does not help. I have none
of these issues when using Firefox or Chrome. Been using Safari for 4 years now.

Have you tried a PRAM and an SMC reset? They're longshots, but don't take long to try.

Have you run Apple Diagnostics from the disc(s) that shipped with the computer?
Since the problem occurs in all browsers, it still sounds like a video hardware or video RAM or maybe a software issue having to do with layers and rendering.
The map layers aren't getting rendered, or if rendered, aren't getting displayed.
Do you have any browser add-ins? Pop-up blockers?
Since you have two video chipsets, it's possible that might be related to the issue.
This non-Apple website talks about switching between chipsets on the various MacBook models so equipped, and points to a free 'donationware' program for the menubar that lets you easily switch between chipsets:

Trying to think of other software that might help pinpoint the problem, does the iPhoto Slideshow 'Shatter' template work? Working properly, it 'shatters' images into several color layers and rotates them in and out to build and deconstruct photos.

Access Connections "Override home page" does not work with Google Chrome

I have different homepages set up for home and work locations within Access Connections. These work fine with Windows Internet Explorer 9 and with Mozilla Firefox 16. However, with Google Chrome 23 (my preferred browser), Access Connections does not override the home page. Since that section in Access Connections is entitled "Customize Internet Explorer, Firefox Browser or Google Chrome", it ought to work...
I am using a T520 with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

If Chrome does't display your webpages, then contact Google about it.
And for solutions, why not click a link at the right.

HD installation, how does this work with installing software?

Something I was missing, is an explanation about ho wto get the new harddrive working. Maybe it is really very simple, but;
If you insert a new unformatted harddrive, how can you start up the Mac and insert the CD with the operating system? Surely, if the harddrive isn't formatted, the Mac wn't start up, and if it doesn't start up, surely you cannot insert the CD with the operating software?
Are there any other activities I need to do to install the harddrive? e.g. format it using an external bay, or something like that?
Also, what type of harddrive should I go for? Standard IDE HDD? How about SATA or SATAII, will that work with this iMac (G5, 1.8GHz, 20", non-iSight)?

Yes, you could use it. The owner of a copy under a Single User licence (the norm) can install one copy of the OS on one machine. It is implied therefore that the seller has uninstalled any previous installation. This is the seller's concern not yours.
However I would be wary about buying the latest Mac OS X 10.5 from ebay, when this product is still available new from an AppleStore. The trap could be on ebay that they are selling machine specific disks, known by their grey colour, which are not the Retail versions and most likely will not install on your computer.
In short, if you want a Leopard disk buy it new from Apple and avoid that potential hazard.

How does this work with multiple systems backing up with time machine

I was wondering as Apple states that this will do multiple time machine backups as in multiple computers, how does this do this? I am assumng that it will require me to partition the srive in the unit as multiple partitions. 1 for each time computer with time machine running.

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to interpret your answer so I'll ask for clarification.
Do you mean that the backup belonging to each user will be protected by filesystem perms? In other words Alice's backup will be owned by Alice and only readable by her, ditto for the hyperthetical Bill?
I guess in other words, does Time Machine preserve file ownership perms?

Keep My Email How Does It Work With Outlook

I have two internet service providers, Verizon and another small local DSL/Phone provider. I have kept the Verizon for several years because neither has very good bandwidth and my household bogs down without 2 mediocre services, and for the email, which I have had for close to 10 years. Right now the Verizon line is not even usable. I had to call India twice and actually did get a person to repair the line 2 times. It worked for three weeks after the line was fixed, now, barely at all. I'm tired of spending $75.00/month for nothing. The support is horrible. The company could care less whether they keep you as a customer.
That being said, I'd like to get rid of it and turn the line over to the other local ISP DSL provider or God Forbid, try Home Fusion, and keep my email alias which I have used forever. I don't really want to hear about how I should have a gmail account or this is my fault for not getting an email address not linked to an ISP. This is what I am working with, and I need to keep the account.
I manage my email locally using Outlook 2010, and I have all of the old email. I sometimes occassionally use the web-based email, but not often.
First, if I buy the domain before I cancel, will I get my emails addressed to the alias [email protected], because none of the parties contacting me have ever addressed anything to the real email name which is a mixture of hard to remember numbers and letters.
Second and in particular reference to Outlook, would I be able to get and send emails from Outlook with the account currently set up for [email protected], or do I have to reconfigure Outlook to treat the name preserved under the domain purchase as a new account, and set up a new account in Outlook for the same email name after I purchase the domain to retain the alias email. In other words can I continue to send and received without any further modification to my existing account as it is now set up in Outlook.
By the way, Verizon has driven me to this. I would be perfectly happy keeping the DSL if it worked, but I can't continue to support a non-working DSL line to the tune of $75.00 (phone line plus dsl service), with such absolutely horrible support. I really would like to try the home fusion service but am not yet convinced I should due to all of the reports about the low caps, phantom data usage, and intermittent service from some.

I was really hoping they would do it that way. I mean why have to create the wheel twice. When they update ACR LR uses it just like Bridge and Photoshop and Elements. And, I do mean uses the ACR plug-in, just copy it to a LR folder and you are updated. Is this what they did? Or, do we have two things to download from Adobe when they add new camera support? Robert <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. >I believe that LR uses ACR for processing RAW, so as ACR is updated, so is >LR.
