I broke my laptop last week and until I can afford a new one, I'd like to use my ipad for university. Just wondering whether there is a way I can view online lectures? I have an app called my media but its only good for direct download links
Only good for direct download links. I can pick to view my lecture in either audio or video format through WMP or QT from my school website. The formats come in a drop box form, which when on a desktop or laptop open in the player you choose and play. I hope this makes sense
You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?
Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed. -

I have a MacPro from 2007 and am wondering if there is any way I can upgrade to Mountain Lion.
I have a MacPro from 2007 and am wondering if there is any way I can upgrade to Mountain Lion. I get a message that it can't be upgraded even though I have downloaded it.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
What gumsie posted is correct - if it is't compatible, normally it won't download. -
I recently had a shuffle stolen and wondered if there was any way apple can trace it if someone else tries to sync or use the ipod?
No, manufacturers generally do not track people's stolen property. The shuffle has no means to connect to the Internet so you can't track it yourself. Thankfully it's only $49.

Would it be worthwhile to put in a larger hard drive and boost the memory on our early 2008 iMac? We realize it is on borrowed time but we would like to squeeze a little more time out of it.

in the beginning my ipod was working fine and then came to a point that i can only use it while it is connected to a charger. my brother went to go fix it so then everything was working fine. & a month or two later the apps on my ipod would stop working . i would open it but then they would just shut back down. & i told my brother about it and he said all i had to do was reset the ipod. so he did that and the apps where working fine. then 10 minutes later i pressed one of the apps and the ipod turned white and shut off. now all it does it shoes the apple then it goes white and turns off again. i really want to get my pictures back because they are important.

Speed dropped last week and hasn't recovered...
Hi,
So my internet speed dropped significantly last week and hasn't recovered. I'm wondering if I need a manual intervention to reset my profile but hopefully someone more ADSL-knowledgeable out there can assist. Note as a professional software engineer I'm reasonably tech savvy, and have taken all the usual steps:
* Router is now permanently plugged into the test socket, and has been for weeks, ruling out any internal wiring
* Have tried different routers. I found the HomeHub4 to be unstable (needing to be factory reset regularly) so am currently running with a TP-Link N600 which has been rock solid since powering on weeks ago.
* Firmware in router up to date, no viruses or spyware on any attached devices
* Speed checks all the same regardless of device (phone, tablet, laptop) or connection method (wired, wireless 2.4GHz, wireless 5GHz)
* Router resets made no difference
* Until I switched to BT a couple of months ago I had rock solid 8 to 10 megs download (definitely starting to wish I hadn't switched from Sky, although they had their own set of issues!). In fact until a week ago BT's speed had been pretty reliable, sometimes as low as 8 megs download, but sometimes up to 14 megs download.
Here are the stats from the router:
I have also run various speed tests (including BT and BT wholesale) which all confirm the same results. Ping times around 45ms, download speed 1.95 meg, upload speed 0.75 meg. It has been many years since I have experienced such a low internet download speed, and it is only just capable of streaming low resolution content, HD is definitely off the cards!
Looking at the router stats that SNR Margin looks high? I'm assuming my low sync rate is due to that? However I can't see anything that has changed physically in my setup in the last week. Could be exchange-side? Also note I did the "quiet line" test by calling 17070 (option 2). No obvious noise, just a very quiet digital hiss (I'll try to get an analogue phone and do the test again). However it sounded pretty clean to my ears.
Finally samknows tell me my exchange is 1038 metres away and I should expect at least 6.5 meg download.
So I'm a little bewildered why I'm now having to live with such poor download speed when for at least the last 4 or 5 years I've consistently had at least 6 meg download and usually somewhere between 8 and 10 meg (and as you can see from the router stats it was as high as 14 meg since the router was powered on).
If I could upgrade to Infinity or Virgin cable I would do so in a heartbeat but sadly neither are in my street. I was hoping that with a few days of stable connection my speed would increase but this hasn't happened. Any assistance or advice on the above would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tich
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi,
Many thanks - I had no awareness of "banded" profiles before! Sadly I just did a last-ditch router reset this morning to see if it would assist (before posting here). Previously it had been up for 5+ days with no resets, and a very stable (but slow!) 2 meg download speed. My current connection time is 0 day(s) 01:11:18 so obviously far less than 3 to 5 days. Willing to wait another 3 to 5 days to see if it improves, but I did that last week to no avail (kicking myself for not screen grabbing my uptime prior to resetting this morning now!).
Is there anything else I should do other than wait another 3 to 5 days and post again confirming a continuation of the problem?
Cheers,
Tich -
Help! Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week and the shop didn't update it back to Mavricks which I had previously done...and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password entered. It just spins like I'm logging in and then goes back to the user log in screen. I did the process where I restarted and pressed control S and created a new user and password, but once created same issue and can't get passed that screen.
Super frustrated and any help is appreciated!I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan. -

I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again." I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working! If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this. Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS. I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything.Immargarita, Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store. They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store. I was not going home until it worked.
Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started. So... I qualified for tech support. I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed. Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work. I have the good old PS disc. I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support. Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store. BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor. The download stopped once. Then he continued it and everything is there now.
Shame on you Apple.
Hope this helps.
