I'm going to Europe and will have my iPad along, any tips on the best plans for Internet use etc?

Any tips for international use with iPad?

Since storage space is not a limiting factor for you, you might want to take a look at Apple Lossless. Lossless will give you the equivalent audio quality of an uncompressed format such as WAV or AIFF with about a 30% decrease in file size compared to the uncompressed formats. Keep in mind that if you have an iPod, these Lossless fies will severely decrease your iPod capacity. For instance, a 30GB iPod importing the avg. 4 minute song in Lossless will only hold about 1150 songs.
Personally, I use AAC @ 256 which I find comes pretty darn close to the original CD quality with a large decrease in file size. I have a 60GB iPod, so I was willing to sacrifice some iPod capacity for the improved audio quality.

Thanks for helping

no, that's incorrect.
you can activate on 1 mac and 1 pc, or 2 pc's, or 2 mac's, concurrently.
i have cc installed on 2 pcs and 1 mac. i can only activate 2 at any one time which works well for me because my pcs are at home and my office and i use them most of the time.
but when i travel i take my macbook so i just deactivate one or both of my pcs (uninstalling is not needed) and sign in to my macs cc app.

HT1296 I am trying to transfer all of my music, photos, movies and apps from my IPAD to a new computer I just purchased for home use. Currently I have been using a work computer. How can I do this?

I got a new computer for home and I am trying to transfer all of my music, movies, photos and apps from my IPAD. I have been using my work computer ofr this in the past but want to change to my new home computer. I can't figure out how to do this without erasing everything from it.

This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

Any ideas on the best Config for RAID-0 on the Precision M6800 using SSD's (and the mSATA slot)

Hi, I have an M6800 on order that has a single 500GB 7200RPM hard drive. I am going to upgrade the storage the day it arrives (removing the 500GB drive and not utilizing it at all). I plan on setting up an SSD RAID-0 array and want to take advantage of the mSATA slot if possible.
I thought of using the 2TB 2.5" Seagate/Samsung Momentus SpinPoint ST2000LM003 hard drive for storing unused vhd\vhdx files as well as video and photos, then using an SSD RAID array for the OS, Applications, Data and any active vhd's.
Is it possible to set up RAID-0 using the mSATA SSD slot and the primary internal hard drive slot?  I want to use those 2 drive connectors so I can still use the 2TB 2.4" regular notebook hard drive without removing the Blu-Ray Writer? I plan to write video to Blu-Ray discs that will be stored on the internal 2TB drive, so removing the optical drive is something I want to avoid.
As a general question, Is there any advantage to using RAID with SSD's, or would a single 1TB mSATA SSD in the mSATA slot be nearly as fast in real world use as a 2 disk SSD RAID? Would I have a noticibly quicker boot time and application load time if using SSD RAID? I know the speed test specs show large increase in performance, but will the computer really run a lot faster with 2 x 500GB SSD in RAID-0 as opposed to getting a single 1TB SSD card for the mSATA slot?
I was planning on getting the Samsung Evo 840 SSD 2.5" drive and the matching Evo 840 mSATA card. There is a Samsung 850 series drive, but it is only available in 2.5" (mSATA is not available in the 850 as far as I can tell).
Please suggest the best solution that is compatible with the M6800 or provide any information that might help.
Thanks

Hi Ential,
Thanks for the info, I thought my question would go unanswered forever. I posted the question in January, and I have since set up the computer. Below I will detail my research and the configurations of drives that I have used on my M6800 since the time I posted the question you answered. Perhaps the results of my research and testing might help you.
I originally I bought the same exact model SSD's that Dell sells with the computer thru their website;    the LiteOn 512GB drives (mSata & SATA), I configured them in RAID-0. The LiteOn drives are sold under the brand name Plextor, I found the proper model numbers by looking at the SSD drive firmware upgrade file from the Dell support website.
From what I understood, my RAID-0 drive consisting of the 2 LiteOn drives had impressive performance using the AS SSD benchmark program, I was getting performance scores over 1600 back in February.
I have since changed to the Samsung EVO 850 1TB drives and again created a RAID-0 drive, one SATA drive and one mSata drive totaling 2TB. This drive array is getting AS SSD performance scores over 1900. I contacted Samsung to get some advice on the configuration of the drives and I got some interesting advice that seemed to help a lot:
Samsung told me to leave 200GB of the drives (100GB each) unallocated when I partitioned the drives, this is generally referred to as "overprovisioning" (which you probably knew already).  I initially thought that overprovisioning could only be configured by the Samsung Magician software and a special process needed to take place to tell the firmware to utilize a specific amount of drive space for overprovisioninng.  The Samsung support agent told me that the Samsung SSD firmware (on both mSata and SSD) automatically uses any unallocated space as overprovisioned space (they are basically the same thing to the drive firmware) and it increases performance in a very noticible way when you have sustained use of the drive and/or durinng the time in between the TRIM process (garbage collection). The unallocated space is used by the firmware to write data to while blocks of data are awaiting internal wiping initiated by the TRIM process.
Since I have 200GB of unallocated space, I am able to have more sustained deletion and writing of data between TRIM/Garbage Collection runnninng than I would ever utilize without affecting the performance of the drive. Basically most SSD drives have performance decrease throughout the day until the TRIM process is completed by the drives firmware, so Samsung instructed me to leave at least 10% of the drive space unallocated to limit that problem. Smaller drives likely need a higher percentage of space unallocated as compared to larger drives since the daily amount of read/write operations is typically the same regardless of drive size.   The amount of space left unallocated/overprovisioned is based upon the amount of read/write operations done on any given drive, not based on the size of the drive itself. If you run drive intensive applications, you would then want to overprovision more GB of drive space, if you have light use of the drive then you can overprovision/unallocate less GB of drive space (all of the configuration info regarding overprovisioning and TRIM was given to me by a Samsung specialist over the telephone - I called their tech support phone number and got a storage specialist to talk to me).
I will look into the SATA version on the optical bay, I never thought about that with this computer. My prior computer was a Dell XPS 17 3D (L702X) notebook which had 2 internal 2.5" SATA, in which I installed an optical bay drive. On that specific computer the optical bay was technically an SATA 3, but due to design constraints it couldnt run at that speed since there was voltage leakage across some pathways in the chipset when the optical bay has read-write throughput that is typical of a hard drive (as opposed to much less data transfer typically seen on an optical drive).  The M6800 can be factory configured with an optical bay hard drive, so I suspect it can support one properly. The XPS 17 was not available with an optical bay drive as an OEM configuration from Dell, so it couldnt be expected to properly support one. The design issue with the voltage leak across the chipset pathways on the XPS 17 was known by Dell, but due to the low bandwidth of an optical drive, the problem never occured with any of the factory OEM configurations.
It is possible that the optical bay hard drive offered by Dell (the exact OEM Drive installed by Dell) could have an internal limitation to SATA 2 due to a similar design limitation. It would not be surprising if an SATA channel designed for optical drives had SATA 2 speed since I suspect there is no SATA Optical drives that could use more than 3GB/s of data anyway.
I purchased 2 of the 2TB 2.5" hard drives that Dell uses for OEM configurations for this computer, they are Samsung 5400 RPM drives. I have one in a 2.5" internal bay and the other in the optical bay - I converted my Blu Ray Recorder/Writer drive to an external drive. I will do some extended time speed tests on the optical bay drive to see if its performance matches the internal drive (which is the same exact model drive - I have 2 of the same Seagate 2TB drives installed with the same firmware).
I use the pair of 2TB drives to store .vhd and .vhdx drives for test platforms for Hyper-V machines. The virtualized servers with high hard drive utilization get moved to the SSD RAID-0 array, the rest are stored on the 4TB rotational drives.
If you have any questions or comments for me, please let me know. I will see what info I can find on the optical bay SATA revision for this notebook, I am very curious to find out if it is in fact SATA 2. I will let you know what my test results are, I will try to use the AS SSD benchmark program, I believe it will work with rotational drives, otherwise I will find another benchmark utility - do you have a recommendation on which to use?
Thanks again for your info and for pointing out the possible limitation of the optical bay..

Brand new iMac, and the load time for internet use is very poor

Brought my new iMac home today. 2.7 GHz intel core i5
Got it set up with my wireless and i am very unimpressed with the internet and loading speed. My phone, 1 lap top, and 1 ipad use wireless in our house along with the iMac. i have a cisco linksys E2500 is that sufficient enough all of my usage? No gaming more than what a todler would play on. Basic internet use and editing pictures.
My question i guess is, is it my router or are iMac's just not that fast?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

I ordered a back order iPhone 6 64gb on around 10/07. I was told I would get it in 2 weeks. Then the ship date changed to 11/3. It's 11/11 and I have yet to get any emails whether the phone will be shipped or not.

So I checked the order status again today and it still shows that it's being processed but the shipping date is still 11/3. A week later and it still hasn't been shipped. Is there someone who can help me so I have an idea when it will be shipped, if ever? I ordered a gold iPhone 6 64gb. I thought I was going to get it in 2 weeks but instead it's been over a month. Thanks.

Thanks for the additional information michiskippi! I have sent you a direct message so that I can access your account and follow up on this order personally. Please respond to my message at your convenience.

My New Canon MX920 goes off line and I have to turn it reboot it all the time.

My Canon MX920 new printer has to be turned on and off daily and I still have difficulty connecting and printing. In addtion, when I want to load new ribbons the ribbon holder goes back and forth for about ten times before it stops and then it doesn't even stop in a position so that I can load the ribbon. I loved my last Canon-same version older model to this but hate this one. Please help.

Hello cblondell,
To ensure the most accurate information is provided, please let us know the version of Windows or Mac in use, as well as how the printer is connected (USB or wireless).

TS3700 There is more to this than the earphone connection. If I tap the unit once the screen dims, it will continue to play. But it shuts off if I don't. What is going on? It will also continue to play if I run the stop watch, for up to 6 minutes.

How do I keep this from happening?

And you are positive the headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen. If so, try another headset to make sure the current one isn't damaged/faulty.

I really need to speed up my IMAC. I purchased a new external drive specifically formatted for apple. I also would like to move some other media (movies and music) to this external drive. What is the best method for this?

Please help...I need to delete iphoto pictures and back up to external drive without losing pictures. I have the external drive and would like to start this process. Can you help?

Formatted for Mac is not a format - for iPhoto you MUST verify that it is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
and putting your iPhoto library on an external drive is NOT a backup - you MUST have a good backup plan like Time Machine running or you are 100% guaranteed to lose your photos sooner or later
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
other media questions need to be ask in the forum for the software you use for them - this forum is only for iPhoto and the above instructions are only for iPhoto

Just bought an ipad air and I have an ipad 2. I would like to use both with the same computer. Can someone tell me how to do this. Do I have to set up a separate user.

I just ordered an ipad air and I have an ipad 2. Can someone help me so I can use both ipads from the same computer. The new one is for my husband and I am going to take the ipad 2. Do I have to do something different since they will be using the same computer. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

It's no problem. I hope this explanation simplifies the information in the Link Demo gave you. It's how I think most people do it...
To avoid having to pay again for apps you have already purchased, use the same Apple ID (likely the current one) on both devices. You can adjust this in:
Settings > iTunes & App Store.
So that you can communicate with each other, use separate Apple IDs for iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime. Adjust those in:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages
Settings > FaceTime

What is the best subscription for use in US and Au...

I regularly travel between US and Australia. I have postal addresses in both locations and credit cards from both countries. So I can purchase from either location.
I want to be able to make calls to US land lines and Mobiles whilst in either countries. What is the best subscription for me to buy and in which country should I purchase it?
NOTE: I am not really concerned about calls to Australia. I don't make that many and so am happy to pay as I go for the Australian calls.

Probably best option would be Unlimited US&Canada subscription, which you can get if you are located in US.
It will be displayed here: http://www.skype.com/go/subscriptions
If you are outside of US or Canada then this subscription is not offered.
It doesn't matter where you are located when placing calls, but with subscriptions it does matter where you are when purchasing.

Have Pixma MG2120. What is the best paper for water resistant photos?

I have a Pixma MG2120. What is the best paper for water resistant photos?

Hi neuend1,
While the ChromaLife100 inks (included with the PIXMA MG2120) in combination with our genuine Canon photo paper, will provided basic protection against humidity, we do not recommend direct moisture exposure to the image. If the image will be displayed in an environment that demands water resistance, I recommend protecting your finished print behind glass or another airtight display.

Have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month. Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks. Should I up my data for a month then change back. Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?

Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!
