I am taking my iPhone overseas. Will any electric converter work, or is there a specific type I need to protect my phone when charging?

The Apple charger is universal, 100-240 volts at 50-60 Hz, the only thing you need is a plug adapter, very inexpensive from stores like Radio Shack in the US, available at many international airports in Europe.

My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

Will any USB keyboard work w/GarageBand?

I have never used garageband and would like to buy a keyboard for my son to use with a Leopard mac. Will any USB keyboard work? Is it necessary to install drivers? Thanks.

Yes you should be good to go with any connection. The new Mac already has your drivers installed - simple!

Dead iSight. Will ANY DV camcorder work?

My iSight died. And at $164.89 to repair, I'm really giving serious consideration to shelling out a few extra dollars and just going with a firewire DV camcorder. I know they have the obvious drawbacks of size and complexity (but I can also make videos away from my computer, which is a plus), so I guess my question is, will ANY DV cam with a firewire interface work? If so, does the cam put a heavier load on the processor than an iSight or a USB cam would? Any minimum hardware or software requirements to make something like this work? My tower is a G4 DA with 1.5 gigs of RAM and a 1.5 GHz processor from OWC. It runs the latest version of 10.5. I also have an older Dual USB iBook, which didn't meet the minimum specs for the iSight. Think a firewire camcorder would work at all on that? It's just 500 MHz with 320 gigs running 10.4.11. Anything I need to consider, or any brands/features I need to give consideration to or, conversely, avoid? Anyone have experience doing this and has an idea of the advantages/disadvantages? Thanks!

Hello again, garygg
Will ANY DV camcorder work?
Some, perhaps even most, will.
However, if you mean EVERY when you say ANY, the short answer to your question is no.
Any Mac compatible DV camcorder that connects to your computer via Firewire will work.
My old Sony DCR-TRV17 and DCR-TRV70 both work great. However, for a time after my now-discontinued models were available, Sony sold a different camcorder called "micro-DV" camcorders that were notoriously Mac-unfriendly. These Sony micro-DVs did NOT claim compatibility with Mac, and they were not.
There may be other makes and brands that won't work, too. Check the documentation that is packaged with any camcorder of interest to be certain it claims to be "Mac Compatible" and that its instructions show how to use the camcorder with a Mac. Camcorders whose manuals or other documentation do not explain how to use them with Macintosh computers are probably NOT Mac compatible.
Of course, the best way to be CERTAIN is to try the camcorder you are considering with your very own Mac before you buy. If a DV camcorder will download the video it has recorded to your iMovie, it will work on your Mac with iChat.
If you don't know someone who will let you test his camcorder with your iChat or test a short download from his camcorder on your Mac, buy from a trusted merchant that will give you written full-price refund or exchange privileges if the camera you choose does not work for you.
As for system requirements, whether you mean requirements for a particular software application that you intend to use (such as iChat system requirements) or the requirements for a specific DV camcorder, YOU must carefully compare the stated minimum requirements with the capabilities of YOUR system. If you do not KNOW how to interpret both sides of that information, having a knowledgeable and trusted retailer is even more important.
Video streams contain a LOT of data that requires a LOT of processor power. Storing captured video requires a LOT of disk space. Transmitting video requires a LOT of bandwidth. Among other possible issues that Firewire video can raise is possible hardware or software conflicts with other Firewire or AV hardware and software. Unless you are CERTAIN, you may be best served by buying from an Apple Store or a knowledgeable Apple VAR who can answer your questions authoritatively for your personal system configuration.
I began "iChatting" with my Sony webcams before I got my iSight. My rationale for changing to iSight is show in iSight versus DV Camcorder or other web-cam, which was written years before iSight was discontinued. However, the comments about the advantages of a webcam (whether iSight or some other webcam,) still apply today.
I chose the Sony brand of camcorder because the quality and features met my amateur needs. Moreover,I was using a Sony still camera and all cables, memory cards, batteries, chargers, and cables worked on both my still camera and the new video camcorders, thus saving considerable money on ancillary items. However, you needs and budget may be different. Pick the brand, quality, features, and cost that work for you. The only thing I know to specifically avoid is any DV camcorder that is not Mac compatible.
If you have other questions, we will be happy to respond to your specifics.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install.

Will the standard iPad case fit the the iPad Air or is there a specific type case for the iPad Air?

Will the standard iPad case fit the the iPad Air or is there a specific type case for the iPad Air?

The air is different dimensions from other iPads, so look for cases made specifically for it. I know that Targus has some, so does Zagg and i'm sure other manufacturers do as well.

Taking an iPhone overseas

I'm setting up a new iPhone 4S I bought in Canada to take with me to Russia. Should I say the region is Canada or Russia? Does it matter?

Hey Jon,
I have a HK one as well and since our 3G iPhones are unlocked, the only problem you'll face is that you'll probably need to buy out of the 3 contract - unless you are transferring to a country that also has 3 as a network; they might be able to help you out in that situation.
There are some carriers around the world who will contribute towards buying out an existing plan to get you as a customer (they sometimes do it in NZ as I recall), but you'd really have to check and with individual carriers in the country you're heading to.

Will any old monitor work?

I'm seriously considering picking up my first Mac. I was really interested in the iMac, but I feel that it's just too expensive for me at this time. So, now I'm looking at the Mac Mini. Again, price appears to be an issue.
After looking at Apple's store, it has come to my attention that the cheapest monitor they sell is $800. In that case, I'd be better off buying the iMac.
I'm sure there are cheaper flat screen alternatives (I'm heading to college, so space is a big issue). However, while I'm looking is there anything specific I need to know?
Will all monitors that work for PCs work on Macs? Do I need a special kind of port to make it work?

most all computer monitors will work with the mini, but i'm sure there are a few exceptions.
use the DVI to VGA adapter if a non-DVI monitor.
for the really old monitors that have BNC or 13W3 connectors, there are options for those too.
i looked on newegg.com for you and found a widescreen 21" Samsung for $499.99 that has VGA + DVI, plus it also composite, S-Video, and component inputs (for VCR, XBOX, PS2, cable/satellite boxes, camcorder, etc... to really save space and double as a TV)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824001078
...or if you know that you only want to hook up a computer, there is a viewsonic 19" that has VGA and DVI only for $216.99.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116373
you can see that i suggested widescreen models, as I think this is THE form factor for all future UI and media and monitors that had DVI, since it is a "feature" that is almost standard now and worth it performance wise.

I just bought an ipad2 which I luv. I want 2 use my cell as a hotspot in some places. Do I need 2 have a new iPhone, or will the older model work just as well?

I just bought an ipad2 which I love. I want to use my cell as a hotspot, but do not have iPhone. A friend is willing 2 give me an older one. With the right data plan, will it work as well as The newer iPhones? The older phone will save me money by avoiding long cell service contract.

Any phone that generates a hopspot will work, as long as you have a plan that supports tethering. Doesnt need to be an i phone.

New notebook only has headphone out and mic in -- Will any Creative speakers work?

Hello all: My new notebook only has a headphone out and mic in, and no audio out as you see on desktop PCs. I prefer not to use my USBs as I have other devices using them. Are there any Creative speakers which can use the headphone output and convert it to line level? This is a frustrating problem...the product specs all assume that you have a line level output 1/8 stereo jack. I don't. How can I find out which Creative products (if any) will work? I have a very typical, Compaq V6000 notebook running XP. I'm looking to spend under $80 and would prefer a 2 speaker or 2 pc w/ subwoofer configuration. I prefer to know that I can connect my new speakers rather than order blindly. Thx yall.
Message Edited by brg500 on 07-17-2007 07:25 PM

You can perfectly connect your 2.0 or 2.1 speakers to the headphones out, because it's like it was a line out, with the only difference that you can modify the out volume. There's no problem at all.

Will any external hardrive work with my macbook?

I was wondering if any plug and play hardrive will work with my MacBook? I heard that it needs to be in FAT32 not NTFS. If its in NTFS how do convert it to FAT32?

Pretty much any drive will work as USB and FW are industry standards and not particular to any one platform. I would still seek out a good quality drive and enclosure that features the Oxford 911 or other Oxford chipset for mazimum reliability.
FAT32 is a file format that Macs and PCs have in common and they both can read and write to FAT32 drives. NTFS can be read by Macs, but nt written to. If you plan on using a drive between Macs and PCs and the files on that drive will not be larger than 4GB, then you should choose FAT32. If you will be using this drive only with Macs, then use the HFS+ format.

Iphone 5, Will 30-pin adapter work with my yamaha tsx 140?

Wondering if the lightening 30-pin adapter will work on Yamaha TSX 140 and my new iphone 5? Does anyone have the same experience?

No but if you do decide to try one keep clear of knock offs
I use the adapter on a Bose Sounddock and in several other
devices .
The Apple item does what they say it does ,
"you get what you pay for "
