going to Italy in the fall Have read that all European phones are sold unlocked. I don't want to spend a fortune on roaming. Is it better to unlock this phone and get an Italian carrier upon arrival or should I just buy a local throw-away phone when I get there?

Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them to determine if they offer unlocking and if the phone qualifies.

I'm trying to upate my mother in-law iPad2 to ios 5 from the same win. pc that my iPhone 4 is connected. I don't want to transfer her purchase items, photos, ... to my library. Is there a way to update without loosing anything on the iPad?

Warning message says :
There are purchased items on the iPad "Joce's iPad" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?
Since I don't want her stuff on my pc, is there a way to update and not loose anything on the iPad?
Thank you

I already have a synch account but I just want to use whats on this computer and get it synched. It woun't let me just synch it! I'm not worried about another device right now.

I already have a synch account but I don't care about any other device right now I just want to backup my settings on this computers browser right now. Want to '''replace anything''' with what I have here but it just keeps asking me to put in something from other device. I want to re add other devices later. I don't even think I have it on my iPhone right now.
It's frustrating!

I don't think that there is a function if Firefox for backing-up settings but you could note them all down if you're really serious about wanting to back it up.
Also, you could try using an add-on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backupfox/?src=api BackupFox] , which backs-up your bookmarks and/or history as they change.

My ipad was dropped, and I just want to know if I have a warranty still or If I have one at all to see if I can get it fixed without paying a ton of money?

It was just small spider web cracks in three of the corners. It's not but I just don't want to pay a ton of money. I just need to see if my warranty can get my ipad fixed without paying a ton of money. So how do I figure out if I still have a warranty?

It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

I have an Iphone 4 iOS 6.1.3 and have read that it is capable to receive the Weather Emergency Alert system. I have also been told that it will not. This is confusing. Can someone at Apple clarify. If it doe not work on this phone is a download available?

This is confusing. Can someone at Apple clarify? If it does not work on this phone is a download available?

Apple usually doesn't participate here, we're just users. Have you done a search for an app for Weather Emergency Alert in the app store? It certainly doesn't come built-in in the iphone.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open. I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported. How can I get my pictures?

If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? Any other advise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

The only "unlimited" plan I can think of where this would not apply is the old Connect plan for multimedia/basic phones. That unlimited data, on devices such as the LG Voyager, EnvTouch, and other "multimedia" devices is not the same.
If you currently have an individual $29.99 unlimited data plan with a 3G Smartphone, then you can buy a BBQ10 retail and activate it with the same data plan and keep the unlimited.

I'm traveling to Europe (France and Lithuania) with my iPhone 5s. I would like to buy a local SIM card for use while in each country. Some sources (Verizon phone support) say this is as easy as buying the card and inserting in place in the slot. Others (Apple Genius) say I must completely restore the iPhone if I replace the sim card. Still others say I cannot use a local sim card. Can you help me find the correct information? Thanks for your help.

That's a wonderful question, ssmiley67. The iPhone 5s comes unlock for international use. Many of our LTE devices are unlocked for international purposes and work upon inserting the international SIM in the device.

Macbook pro fan making loud noises and going really fast. Now the fan doesn't work at all and my computer gets extremely hot almost instantly. Is there a way to fix it without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

I've had my Macbook pro for about 3 1/2 years now. It has worked great until recently. A few months ago I noticed that the fan would always run really fast when I was doing simple tasks. After a few weeks/months, the fan was still really fast but it also started to make these loud noises. Now, it only occasionally makes the loud noise if I move my computer after its been stationary for a while. The fan no longer works at all and my computer gets exceptionally hot almost instantly when I turn it on. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

You can try a SMC reset:

I cannot export projects from GB in my MacBook into GB on my iPad3; nor can I export from IPad to my MacBook. I have tried going onto Apps update on the MacBook, but there were none available. I have read that this omission is to be corrected - can you confirm this is intended to happen, or is it already in process. While awaiting for this essential development, can you please suggest any way of transferring information either way?

I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. The price of a new MacBook Pro is much less in the US, and is where I plan to buy one. However, I have read that a US machine will not play UK DVD's. Is this true and if so is it possible to change the codes?

I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. I plan to buy a MacBookPro in the US but have read that it will not play UK DVD's. Is this so? If so, is it possible to change the codes?

All modern & new Macs can play both PAL and NTSC DVDs. I do it all the time and it works perfectly.
The DVD drive is set to its first region code when you first play a DVD in it. So when you buy a Mac, whatever type of DVD you play first will determine the initial region code that is set. If it's a PAL/Region 2 DVD it will set the DVD drive to region 2.
The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have a collection of DVDs that have different region codes. In those cases you may be faced with changing the region code in the DVD drive in order to play one or more of the DVDs; and as others have noted there is a limit to the number of times you can change the region code (most modern DVD drives allow up to 5 changes; the 5th change becomes the permanent change). This is due to industry licensing practices.
If you have DVDs that are Region 0 or All Regions you don't have to worry about region codes.

I have read that new purchases of macbook pro will get free upgrade to LION OS. When and how do I go about this?

Currently that's the only information available. I suspect more will be posted as we get closer to launch.
