Any advice to a girl who understands very little about computers would be  greatly appreciated.
Have someone look at your machine, discuss upgrading the operating system to 10.6.8 as it will run all your currently installed software (10.7 may not and require more memory, new software purchases)
Also to set up a TimeMachine backup system too.
We can only help those who can help themselves, some need someone to assist them in person.
It's no problem, I don't do my own dental or car work, I turn to those who can assist me with that.
Good Luck

    Hi,
    Today I tried to send a normal text message to 2 non iPhones today having sent messages successfully to these 2 phones on nye but neither would send.
    So far today I have tried:
    1. Calling, receiving calls and receiving texts from these phones works fine, even today
    2. Checking the send/ receive has my number in both sections. I have also tried a variety of setting combinations here of imessage on off etc
    3. The same with the phone section and my number
    4. Installed latest IOS update
    5. Restored network settings
    6. Turned off and on again
    7. Taken sim card out and cleaned it
    I would be very grateful of any further suggestions because I'm not sure at all why this isn't working today after not having knowingly changed anything since nye.
    Thank you!

  • Does any one have any luck getting screen sharing to work in Skype 2.x

    Does any one have any luck getting screen sharing to work in Skype 2.x?

    The current skype app works (makes calls) with iphone, ipod touch as well as the current ipad, per the description of the app. The ipad is obviously not going to be able to make video calls, but I know the iphone 4 can make video calls to a PC through skype. Works really well too. Im assuming that with the ipad 2 you should be able to make video calls as you can with iphone / ipod touch.

    The iBooks page on my iPad2 has locked. I cannot move on the page. I can close the page, and everything else is working fine. THis happened in the middle of a download. Does any one have any ideas for unlocking, resetting, or somehow getting the iBooks page to work? Thank you.

    Just re-set the App -
    Open the App
    Hold down the power button until the slider appears
    Hold down the home button (Don't use the slider) Until the App Closes
    You might lose your place, but shouldnt be too hard to find it again...

  • Does any one have a sample code for sending email using IMAP ?

    Hi
    thank you for reading my post
    I have tried to use SMTP and because of some problems i could not use it and i must use Imap (authentication required)
    here is my SMTP code , does any one know how i can tune it to use Imap , or has a code snippet to send email using Imap ?
    thanks
    private static void postMail(String[] recipients, String subject, String message,

            boolean debug = false;
            class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator
                    public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
                        return new PasswordAuthentication(mail_usrname,mail_password);
            //Set the host smtp address
            Properties props = new Properties();
            FileInputStream fis;
            try {

    Please try this out!!!!!!!!!
    You can send emails using Outlook also. You can send email over Microsoft Exchange with this object (or another email server, using IMAP/POP).
    Sub SendMailOutlook(aTo, Subject, TextBody, aFrom)
    'Create an Outlook object
    Dim Outlook 'As New Outlook.Application
    Set Outlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    'Create e new message
    Dim Message 'As Outlook.MailItem
    Set Message = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    With Message
    'You can display the message To debug And see state
    '.Display
    .Subject = Subject
    .Body = TextBody
    'Set destination email address
    .Recipients.Add (aTo)
    'Set sender address If specified.
    Const olOriginator = 0
    If Len(aFrom) > 0 Then .Recipients.Add(aFrom).Type = olOriginator
    'Send the message
    .Send

  • Can i leave to mac on all the time? does any one have issues with speakers or camera not turning on?

    this is a thought I have can i leave it on all the time does it reduce the life of the computor or should i turn off daily? Also have an issues when I do tturn t on 2 times out of ten the speaker or camera does not turn on and I have to reboot again. then it works

    Apple recommends leaving your computer turned on 24/7 unless you will be away from it for several days. Read the manual that came with your computer and you will find that documentation. It's good practice to put the display to sleep (System Preferences - Energy Saver) when its not being used.

  • Does any one have problems with verizon email ?  Mainly with email folders .

    I have an ipad2 and can not get any folder besides inbox and trash on my ipad .. It seems to be because I have to use yahoo.verizon server.. I have tried to sync the ipad several times but do not get folders that are on my Dell desktop running Windows 7.

    If the Verizon account is a POP account, then it will not sync folders from your PC. Those could just be local folders that your mail client lets you create on the computer. Those will not sync to the iPad.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder folders are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.
    Why you are not seeing a sent folder is odd .... Have you sent email from this account yet?

  • Itunes gets to 99% then stops, does any one have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

    When trying to download Itunes 10.5.1 the download reaches 99% then stops after a while it will say download has been interupted. I have tried using another browsers, disabling firewall and I have followed all the steps or uninstalling and reinstalling as suggested on the website. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can fix this it would be much appriciated.
    Many thanks

    Disable your firewall and antivirus software. It can cause problems with the update process. Kaspersky is especially bad for this.
