I am a sophomore in high school and i am between getting an ipad with a great quality keyboard case or an 11 inch macbook air. Which is a better suited purchase? I do not want to make the wrong purchase!

I would like some input on which might be better suited for a sophmore in high school because I do not want to make the wrong purchase. I have apple products so I know how they work, so I have no problem in that area!

The iPad does not do Java or Flash. So you may have issues using it on many websites. There are web browsers for iPad that try to be work arounds for this, there is mixed reviews as to how well that they work.

I bought a MacBook Air which includes a puzzling cord. It plugs into a wall socket at one end, but the other end looks like a miniature hair dryer. Does anyone know what this is for?cord

I bought a MacBook Air which includes a puzzling cord. It appears to be for charging the Mac. It has three prongs where it plugs into the wall socket, but at the other end there is something that looks like a miniature old-style hairdryer. It doesn't fit anywhere on the MacBook Air. It is approximately 1 cubic inch in size. Sort of looks like a miniature building with two joined smokestacks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I think you are talking about the extension cord for the MagSafe power adapter.
This you can plug it to the MagSafe adapter in order to get a longer cable, but first you have to slide to disconnect the wall connector from the adapter and get this:
I'm sure you will get it once you slide the socket connector from the adapter. NOTE: you have to slide the little socket connector from the adapter, DON'T PULL IT OFF. Is easy to slide.
Hope this is the answer for your question. If I'm wrong, please put an image of the "puzzling cord".

I have 3 apple devices and I use the same apple ID for all 3. I would like to create a new I'd for one of my devices, but do not want to loose the apps on that device. Anyone know how I can do this?

Create a new ID:
On the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
- Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Unfortunately there is little you can do, Lion will not run on your machine.
However it is possible to access some features of iClould while staying with SL. If you go to iCloud you will see the web interface for the cloud.
Some but not all functionality is here. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

What to buy? I want to a small amount of product photo editing, build websites, and do some product label graphics. 74 years old and do not want to do the Cloud thing online.

Well, the web site building we can get out of the way rather easily: You cannot build websites with any Photoshop related applications. Adobe has other applications for that.
You can still buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 with a perpetual license—no monthly payments and you own it. $700 for the standard version, $1,000 for the extended version.
The Photographer's deal gives you a subscription to both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 per month, but you never get to own the software. The moment you stop paying, the software ceases to work.
The Cloud thing is not really on-line. It resides on your computer. It only has to call the mother ship once a month or so.
Then there's the bargain-basement priced, emasculated Photoshop Elements, with some hand-holding features.
I'm a septuagenarian too, but then I've been using computers for decades, Photoshop seriously for over twelve years. Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Depending on exactly how much editing you need to do to those products shots, you may be satisfied with Ps Elements mentioned above.
There are trial versions for all of the above.

I bought a book on itunes, and can't open it. tried to send it to my iphone so i could read it there and it won't let me carry it over. I have updated Ibook on my iphone. What do I do? I do not want to buy the book again.

You won't be able to open it on your computer, ibooks can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. How were you trying to get it to your phone, syncing it by selecting it on the iPhone's Books tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, or by dragging-and-dropping it from the Books part of your iTunes library over and onto the iPhone 'device' ? Another option is to try re-downloading it directly in the iBooks app on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it (re-downloading).

When insert my lexar USB flash drive I get the message that the disk was not readable by this computer. It has worked previous to this and I do not want to lose the data by reformatting the drive. How can I reformat this drive and not lose my data?

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

Good day AMELIASARAH,
One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -
If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

I am having trouble setting up my time capsule. the amber light is flashing. i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function. I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

That's a very broad question and difficult to answer without knowing more about you requirements.

I don't know what else to say about this. It is a screen that comes up in its own window everytime I open Firefox

Since yesterday I have been unable to use FaceTime across all my Apple devices: Iphone 5s, MAC Notebook, and Ipad Mini. It does not connect nor make the ringing sound. Why is this and how can it be fixed?

My deceased brother's IPad was given to me but it is locked and passcode protected. I do not want access to the data on it, but would like to be able to use it. Can it be unlocked and reset to factory settings? Thanks!

You can try this: If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If he had not turned on Find My iPad then it will work, if he had you will run into Activation Lock. If you do run into it you can take a copy of the will (or probate finding if he died without one) and/or a Letter Testamentary and ask if they can look up where he purchased it. If they can, and you have the other documents, they can reset it for you.

My husband just got an iPad and we are wondering if he can sync the iPad to my lap top since I already have my iPhone synced to the laptop. We do not want to intermix the contacts, photos, etc from his iPad onto my iPhone or my iPhone info onto his iPad.

You should be able to sync both to the same iTunes - I sync my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch to the same computer. With the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the tabs on the right-hand side to select which of your iTunes content to sync to it, so you can control which apps, photos, music etc are synced to it, and (via the Info tab) from which email account your contacts are synced from. Your computer's iTunes should remember your syncing preferences for each device.
