I am changing ISPs and will be dropping two email addresses I use as AppleID's.  Can I keep them as AppleID's and use a rescue e-mail address from a new ISP?  What are the downsides if I have an iCloud address as an alias under one of those addresses?

I am about to change internet service providers and will be dropping two e-mail addresses that I use as Apple ID’s.  One is used solely for iTunes and the other is used for iCloud, mail, calendars, etc.  The second has two iCloud email address as aliases.  I will be going to a new ISP and will establish an e-mail address from that ISP as a backup in case the iCloud addresses are not available. 
  It has been suggested to me that I should continue to use the e-mail addresses from the old ISP as my Apple ID’s.  And that I use the e-mail address from the new ISP as a rescue e-mail address for those Apple ID’s to get any communications relating to the ID’s. That seems like a simple and straight-forward way of handling the change and would minimize the chance of complications from changing the Apple ID’s.  But, are there any downsides to handling the change in this way?  If so, what are they?

You can continue to use them as Apple ID's, change the rescue address (as you know)
You can use your iCloud address, but it won't be an alias, it's a full email address.

  • Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

    Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

    The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
    The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
    both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
    The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
    Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
    both have 802ac wifi
    both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
    both are slim profiles and SSD
    The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
    ....and of course the retina display
    both are now "very good for travel"
    Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
    You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc.   Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
    The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
    The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
    Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display” 
    Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
    Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little,  the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
    As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
    there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
    http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
    A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
    what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD  are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
    "The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

    hi GK
              When u delete the request in ODS or CUBE u want to delete the available data on those targets.
    For deleting the datas in the targets u just right click on the ods or cube and give delete data so that if there is a data in the target it gets deleted. this is the main step u want to do when u reconstrcut the request and after doing this u can direclty schedule data to the target.
    In targets after completing the data transfer process activate it to get that data in report also. dont forget to do this
    In psa level there is no problem u can go and directly delete the request.

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

    The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes  doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

    If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
    I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

  • What are the repercussions with removing my husbands icloud account info from my iPad?

    What are the repercussions with removing my husbands icloud account info from my iPad?

    Hahaha. Yes everything's ok on that front. I'm just not great at sharing my toys, so I wanted everything on my iPad to be in my name (not selfish at all, is it?). Anyway, was just concerned that if I removed that info, I might lose a whole bunch of stuff on there. I've since learned that I can keep his icloud account and " disable" the fields that I don't want to share (contacts, email) and keep the ones that I do (photos). Excuse my ignorance, I'm still a rookie on the iPad front.
    So, that being said, I suppose I can tolerate his info being in my icloud. ;)
    Thanks for your help Barry!

  • What are the software required to have planning in my PC

    Hi ,
    I am planning to install "Hyperion planning" in my PC. Can any one suggest me what are the software i required to install the planning in my PC and let me have the clear information about installation process for each software.Please advice guys...
    Note : Please include the version also
    Thanks & Regards,
    Prabhas

    There are three ways to do this:
    1) Install a server OS on the laptop. I tried this on an 8 gigabyte laptop and ran out of RAM for all of the things I wanted to do (SS, Calc Mgr, Essbase, EAS, APS, FDM, Financial Reporting, Planning, etc.).
    2) Go to a VM solution, such as VMWare (I like VM Workstation, personally). Watch out for this on memory as 8 gigabytes isn't going to be enough. The Great and Good John G has recently published notes on how to set up 11.1.2.1's compact deployment mode. That might work in a laptop (yes, you wrote PC but nowadays that so often means laptop) -- I have yet to try it but have high hopes.
    3) Go to the cloud. I personally prefer this as it is so easy and fast although you are paying a per-hour charge. Check out John Booth's blog: www.metavero.com for more details -- his blog links to mine for the instructions on how to launch that first EPM AMI.

  • What are the downsides to extending an Airport Express's network with Airport Extreme?

    Or are there downsides at all, assuming latest generation Airports? I think it happens more often than not that the position of the modem from your ISP in the dwelling is not the ideal location for a router, and it is sometimes inconvenient/impossible to wire an ethernet connection to the optimal location. I have an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express, and was thinking of hooking up the Express to the modem and having the Extreme extend that network, placed at the optimal router location. My concern with that setup is whether the Extreme will use all of its antennas, since the Express has fewer (6 vs 2 if I'm correct).

    Or are there downsides at all, assuming latest generation Airports?
    There are none. You might be confusing such a "wirelessly extended" network with a WDS, which was a horrible compromise with significant disadvantages.
    The optimal location for the second AirPort might not be obvious. Keep in mind that it can only "wirelessly extend" the signal it is capable of receiving. Place it in a location where the wireless signal created by the main router remains strong, while still being able to create a network that covers your required wireless service area.
    Don't worry about the number of antennas or how they are used. They're all used.

  • Am gonna be a MAC soon, so what are the essential programs to have??

    Hi guys,
    I am suppose to be a MAC soon, want to get the new Macbook Pro 13"
    i've been using windows since i started using computers which is long enough to have it running in my blood!! but now i want to move to Mac, FINALLY
    what do you think are the most important or essential programs to have on the Mac else than its standard ones of course just in general regarding ANY category
    on windows i have a variety of utilities, photography, music...etc all that stuff, so on Mac what do u think is the best? i know it is a personal choice, but since i am new i don't know what's out there for Mac to decide!!
    Thank you so much

    first, if you want to fine tune your appearance and themes or unlock some other options that macs don't let you fool with by default i suggest; candybar(for docks and icons),theme park (for themes), onyx and deeper (for advanced options). depending on what you will use your mac for, you might be able to streamline your workflow with; jumpcut (automatic copy and paste clipboard), name mangler (batch file renamer), and quicksilver (quick finder search). and you might want to play with your accelerometer with silly apps like liquid mac, mac saber, and neverball.
    but over all you will be pretty impressed with the apps that are bundled with leopard os. mail, ical, adressbook,and iphoto all work so well together. garageband and automater rock as well.
    SWEET, u have a COOL bundle of Apps
    i like that sort of stuff
    and the accelerometer thing i want to try
    thank you for those really

  • How to stop vdbench from external applications? What are the impacts?

    I am using vdbench to test following scenario:
    1) Start vdbench - do read/write (I use poweshell start-process to start vdbench which returns me the process object )
    2) Poll for particualr system event(my test condtion). When the event happens stop read/write ASAP(To stop the process I use powershell Stop-process and pass process object as the argument. This actually stops IO as seen task manger)
    3) Continue testing
    I want to understand
    1) Are the steps followed correct?
    2) What is the correct method to stop vdbench from external application?
    Regards
    Jugari

    An other thought, that maybe is of interest to you, coming in the next version of Vdbench.
    A conversation with one of my internal users:
    It does not make sense to look at current Vdbench output trying to figure out what is happening when.
    This locks us in to tricks and guessing and prevents me from make changes to the output.
    Monday I will create a new file in Vdbench: status.html
    This file will only be there for any kind of wrappers to see what is going on.
    I'll make sure that the file contents are flushed to the file system as soon as a line of text has been written.
    * Vdbench status
    * The objective of this file is to contain easily parseable information about the current state of Vdbench.
    * This then can serve as an 'official' interface for any software monitoring Vdbench.
    * Each line of output will be immediately flushed to the file system, making its content accessible by any monitoring program.
    * The values below are all tab-delimited.

  • What are the steps to follow before disabling iCloud?

    After working a while with my iMac running Mountain Lion in combination with iCloud, I have to disable iCloud because I'm going across the ocean for a while. I don't want to end up with a huge bill because every time I use my iPhone, it will sync (while no Wi-Fi available).
    As a matter of fact, I already archived my Contacs, Calanders and Reminders (Notes doesn't have such a feature), but it seems to put everything back to the iCloud account after importing.
    My question is: What is the step-by-step approach to disable iCloud (both iPhone and iMac) without losing any data?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    GJ

    Thanks a lot, mende1!
    It works. (Only Notes is set up differently, but that's not a real issue for me.)
    If I do the same on my iMac, I don't get that question. Is there a possibility to restore these data from my iPhone to my iMac?

  • 24p from a DVX 100 - What are the best ways to Import / Export

    Hi Everyone,
    A friend of mine did some shooting on his DVX100 on 24p. He then captured them to avi files. I have the files on my hard drive. What is the best settings when importing these files and what should my settings be for exporting. I want to eventually watch it, when I'm done editing, on a big screen tv.

    I have the same problem. I have a bunch of footage captured on Premiere Pro that I have imported into FCP 6. Other than having to modify the timecode to match the original timecode I haven't had a problem editing with the footage. It looks good to me as far as quality goes.
    I have yet to output to DVD and watch it on a real TV yet, but if it looks this good in the canvas I'm hoping it looks good on TV.

  • I purchased an airport Extreme from germany. I would like to know if I can use it in the USA, and would I need anything else apart from a new power cord for the same ?

    I purchased an Airport extreme from Germany to be used as a router. It worked very well over there and I plan to use it in the States. Now, since the power output is different in both USA and Germany, would I only need to buy a new power cord from USA ?

    The AirPort Extreme will run on 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz, so it will operate just about anywhere in the world as far as power goes, if you have the right power cord or AC wall adapter. A voltage converter is not needed.
    But, European wireless standards are different than the U.S., so you will need to avoid using Channels 12 and 13, which are not authorized for use in the U.S. Otherwise, things should operate OK.
    For all the details on wireless standards in different parts of the world, see this document:

  • Getting alerts my browser needs upgrade. I must upgrade ios to get updated browser. What are the downsides to upgrading ios?

    I have a snow leapord ios which allows safari 5.1 as the "latest" browser. Many of the sites I visit are asking me to upgrade the browser. Looking into this I found that I need to upgrade the operating system first and I want to be sure that I can do that without losing anything that is currently on my desktop. What should I expect when doing a ios upgrade, and will that include the safari upgrade as well or is it a separate task. Thanks

    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
    Upgrading the OS will upgrade Safari. Alternatively, you can switch to a product such as Firefox and stay on Snow Leopard.

  • What are the downsides to working with Proxy Media?

    My iMac is one of the more powerful ones:  i7, 2 internal drives (the main one is a 256 GB flash drive), ATI Radeon HD 5750 w/1 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM.  But I notice that when I'm trying to apply multiple effects to a compound clip and then use crop to zoom on it, it starts dropping frames all over the place and barely plowing through.
    I'm wondering if I should edit with proxy media.  I know one disadvantage is the amount of space it takes to have both proxy and regular media, but I have plenty of disk space.  I edit AVCHD footage that I optimize upon import.
    I will also be doing a lot of multicam editing.
    So I'm thinking proxy media is the way to go.  But I have to wonder what the disadvantages to using proxy media are.  For instance, since you're editing with a lower-quality version of the video, does that mean that when you do things like color correction you aren't getting a good a final result when you switch back to the regular media?
    I'd appreciate any advice/tips.

    ....  you aren't getting a good a final result when you switch back to the regular media?
    no, the color correction is done with the 'HDef' material.
    proxies is just a pre-view thing; esp. when doing multicam, the amount of data shoveling from/to harddrive is enormously ... theoretically, even a fw800 connected super-fast Raid can handle only a max. of 10 HDef streams ...
    I'm on consumer/hobbyist level - handling here 4 streams from usb-drives - as proxies, no problem.
    when editing is done, you switch back to original/optimized and export in  shiny 100% ...
