HT2712 Is it possible to set up network locations in such a way that other preferences also get set? Specifically, I usually have my Software Updates set to download in the background, but when I am using my iPhone's Personal Hotspot I'd like to disable

Or indeed is some other way possible, such as using an Applescript to detect when I am using my personal hotspot on my (limited data package!) 3g iPhone (via wi-fi or USB etc) and then switch off the automatic downloads until I revert back to my regular connection?
Apologies -seem to have posted this in the worng forum.

But Software Update won't be an available setting choice.
But I'd turn off automatic Updates anyway, & just check once a week or once a month to see what's available.

HT4623 the itunes is saying that there is a software update needed to download 10.7 itunes but when i go to update my mac to the latest software, none shows up ? Whats going on?

To update my Itunes to the 10.7 or later, it says I need to update my mac. When i go to update my mac, it says that there is not one available. How do I fix this?

What Mac OS X version do you have? You can go to  > About this Mac and find the version. If you don't have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, you'll need to update to that and then your iTunes will update. http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1400 <=== that is the link to purchase the 10.6.8 update

HT4484 I need to purchase an Iphoto book. I have updated my new address as the USA, but when I order the book it still lists the price in Pounds and has my old UK address listed. How do I change it to USA Dollars and my USA address? Anyone know

You are on the UK Store. Scroll to bottom right, click on the USA flag to switch to the American store. Though you'll have to set up an account there too.

Download 9.1 and 9.2.3 updates and install them

HT1349 It takes hours (2-3 or more) to download updates to various software. I use my iPhone in personal hotspot mode paired to my laptop to do this. How can i speed up the downloads.

It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier. Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

I misspelled a last name in my Contacts. I corrected the spelling, but when I receive an email from this person, the "From" is still the misspelled name. How can I correct this?

Problem not solved. I just received an new email from the person involved. Same misspelled name in the "From" field. I did as Paul_31 suggested and then quit and restarted mail.

Cab you get your ipod to forget old apple ID, because it is asking for the password but I do not use that apple ID becaue I have a new one, and not it will not let me enter a few of my apps

I Have a new apple ID and it is asking for my old ones password, I try to enter an app and it asks me to sign in but I hit cancel then ot kicks me out of the app, everytime.

When an app is purchased, it is locked to the Apple ID used to purchase/download the app. That will never change. If you have apps that are asking for the old ID for an update, it is working the way it is supposed to. If you cannot remember that password, then you will need to delete that app and download it again with the new Apple ID.

Is it (still) possible to set a grid behind the artwork but above the artboard?

Is it me, or has this changed in CC 2014? I used to be able to turn the artboard off (Ctrl+Shift+H) and use the grid (Ctrl+') freely throughout the workspace - behind the artwork I am drawing.
However now I am forced to turn off "Grids in background" whenever I turn off the artboard edges, because they disappear. Therefor I now need to work with grids overlayed on top of my artwork, which I find very frustrating, having to turn it on and off all the time.
To be clear: I work a lot outside of any artboards.
An example:
Thank you!

Yes I have. Maybe I wasn't clear enough:
Isn't it no longer possible to view grids behind artwork with the following settings:
Grids in Back selected
Outside of any artboard
With artboard edges turned off as well (Ctrl+Shift+H)
With the above described scenario you get A. from my example image. But I'd like to see D., which is only possible within an artboard.

Can I use my iphone as a hotspot for the new ipad thru Verizon?

I currently own an iphone and have service thru Verizon. Would like to purchase the new ipad. I didn't know if I needed to spend the extra money for the wi-fi-4g cellular (verizon) and have to pay for the service monthly or could I use my iphone as my hotspot? Any advise would be great! Thanks!

Verizon does offer Personal Hotspot (aka "tethering") for the iPhone. You will have pay extra for the service. Contact Verizon to get pricing.
Regards.

I'm trying to run a video that requires QT 2.2.1, but QT is up to 7. It keeps telling me to download 2.2.1 off the disk, but when I try, it will not complete--any suggestions?

I'm trying to run an educational video which says it requires QT 2.2.1. QT is up to 7. So, it says to download off the CD, but when I try, it will not download. Any suggestions...

QuickTime version 2 is almost 20 years old and will not install on a modern machine.
You may be able to manually seach the CD to find the video content and it may be viewable in QuickTime Player 7.

IPad 3 wifi using iphone 4 personal hotspot?

I am thinking about getting an iPad 3 (wifi only) .
Can the iPad 3 use an iPhone 4 personal hotspot?
cheers

I have recently bought the new iPad and can use my 4s personal hotspot function in 3G only areas without a problem. Glad I didn't go for the more expensive iPad,it works perfectly.

WHEN I USED TO CONNECT INTERNET FROM MY IPHONE 4S PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB, AN ICON IN THE NETWORK PREFERENCE NAMED "IPHONE" GETS OPENED.... BUT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECCT PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?
