  • What is best way to give a used iPad to someone?

    Buying the new iPad.  Want to give my iPad 2 to my wife.  What is the best way to do that?

    Does she want any of your content on it, and has she got her own iTunes account ? Any purchased content on the iPad will remain tied to your iTunes account, so it will need to be on the computer that she syncs to if she wants to be able to have any of it (so your iTunes account will need to be authorised on that computer).
    If she doesn't want any of your current content then you can log out of your account on the iPad by tapping on it in Settings > Store an you can then restoreit to factory defaults via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings.

  • I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive.  I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive.  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again .  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

  • Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

    What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

    First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
    Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
    Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
    Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
    Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
    Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Please tell me if you need any help.
    I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

  • What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    Well it seems that you did not explain to us the full story.  Did you change ISP's or something? Why would it not show up anymore?
    What colour is the light on the time-capsule? If it's blinking amber, then you probably need to do a factory-reset. That should get it to show up again in AirPort Utility.

  • What is the best way to get the new iPhone/ iPhone 5

    What is the best way to get the new iPhone/ iPhone 5 when it is released. I want to get the phone as quick as possible. If i order it on The first day of pre orders will i get it on the same day as the release in stores? I'm on an unlimited data plan with AT&T. Because the new iPhone will most likely have 4 g data will I loose the unlimited plan?

    Apple has not made any announcement.  We are not allowed to speculate on this forum.

  • Starting Fresh With iTunes 9.0.1...best way to get music back in/import?

    Had some library troubles with iTunes 9, and decided to do a clean install of not only the program, but of Snow Leopard itself. I was waiting on an iTunes update to come out before I decided to re-load my library in, since I didn't want to risk repeat problems (I've always been one of those bleeding edge-ers, and this is the 1st time I've ever had a problem/held back...guess I learned my lesson). 9.0.1 is out and seems to address the problems I'd been having, but I caught the "start fresh" bug and I want to start over with iTunes. No playlists, play counts, etc need to be saved.
    I do have a full backup of my previous system (thanks SuperDuper!), and I'm wondering what the best way to get all of my music back into iTunes is.
    -Do I use the Finder to simply drag the contents of my old "iTunes Music" folder into the new "iTunes Media" folder?
    -Do I drag the whole folder and drop it onto the iTunes window? (I'm worried this method won't put iPhone apps, ringtones, audiobooks and podcasts in the right place).
    -Do I use the import function?
    Notes: prior to making the backup, I did upgrade to/select iTunes Media Organization
    I did see THIS article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 but it says it's old and I wonder if it applies to iTunes 9.
    Thanks for any help!

    You might want to check that your certificate that you made has been applied to iTunes.app
    try this code in Terminal"
    codesign -dvvvv /Application/iTunes.app
    Does the name on the certificate match the one you created?

  • What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera?

    What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera? It says the utility disk is a PowerPC app and that is no longer supported. What do I do now? I can't upload photos from my camera.

    Also, I had the same problem happen when I tried to install an older version of Corel Painter. Are Macbook Pro users just NOT supposed to be able to use their laptops for the purposes they are best designed for?

  • What is the best way to get rid of duplicates in the XML data?

    Hi all,
    Please help me with the best way to get rid of the duplicates in the XML data. Will a transform with some stylesheet do the trick? I need to read on the stylesheet first, but please tell me if that is possible. I have to deal with XML data that has tons of duplicate data. Please see one section of an XML file. You can see that for each charge, the same defendant information (address, ID numbers, etc) is included. Having 10 charges is not uncommon, so I would have the same data repeated 10 times. I first thought that I would use some temp tables to do that, but I wonder if there were a better way. Thanks a lot. Please see the data below.

  • I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?

    I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?  I get an "X" when trying to copy to the "automatically add to itunes" folder on the 2nd computer.

    ok... so i i just made sure all my music is all together in 1 folder and i am going to trash my old music folder that is in the itunes folder... and follow your directions - let itunes start w/new library and bring my music in. Well, last little hurdle/question. I noticed that the place where my itunes library is - on an external drive doesnt have much space left on it. The place where i gathered all my music together in order to start fresh - is a different external drive and has LOTS of free space on it.
    SO... i now would like to just keep all that freshly compiled clean music right where it is but in advanced preferences I want to point to that new folder on the drive that has so much more space. So... should i delete the old music then go into itunes with a blank library and change the folder in preferences - quit and go back in and then follow your steps to loading my music? If i change the setting of where itunes looks for the music - that doesn't wipe out the old stuff... it just mixes it all up together right? I dont want that!!
    i promise this is the last question - i would love to fix this problem tonight and just be DONE!
    Thanks in advance for your patience and knowledge!!

  • Best way to get LARGE (multi-DVD) project to show on a TV?

    My wife has compiled an iMovie '09 project that has about 42 hours worth of dance videos.  The project consists of many clips of all sorts of esoteric dancing, with a brief fade between each one.  It looks fine on her iMac.  She wants to show these videos on a TV at the "Dance Ladies Retreat" that is coming up in a couple months.  Some ideas we've considered are:
    Buying her a new MacBook, and moving the iMovie project over via Firewire, Ethernet cable, or similar.  Then taking the MacBook to the event, and hooking it up to the TV via cable.  This method will be very expensive.
    Saving the project on a 256 giga-byte USB drive.  First we'd have to get this mondo iMovie project into a format that would work on a PC laptop, which could then be attached to the TV.  Not sure how to get the iMovie project into a PC-readable format.
    Break the mondo iMovie project up into DVD-size chunks.  My wife bought Aimersoft DVD Creator, which we may try to use if we decide to split the iMovie project up into a number of DVDs, but I'm not sure if it can merge movie clips.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Geoff: Thank you for your reply!  I downloaded VLC Player and was able to read a DVD's worth of my wife's project that she had copied onto Aimersoft's DVD Creator software.  First I saved the Aimersoft DVD Creator file onto my flash drive, and tried to play it on my PC with Media Player.  No joy.  VLC-Player worked like a champ!
    OK, now I need to figure out the next piece of the puzzle, which is the best way to get all of her work onto this single, 256 Gb flash drive that we have on order from Amazon.  The ultimate plan is to store the entire iMovie output onto the 256 Gb flash drive, and play it using my ASUS laptop through an HDMI cable.  Looks like we have two main choices for this:
    Copy all of her iMovie project onto DVD Creator, and save these onto the big flash drive.  This has the advantage of breaking her project up into manageable chunks, but will VLC Player be able to play those chunks sequentially?
    Stay with iMovie, and "share" her project onto the 256 Gb flash drive.  Maybe first we should split the huge project up into several smaller projects, perhaps 4 hours each.  A couple questions here: what do you think would be the nominal size for breaking up the huge project, and what would be the best option for saving the movie using "share."
    Thank you very much.  By the way, I found a nice explanation of the features and uses of iMovie 09 (that's the one we have) at this web site: http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/imovie_09_stone.html

  • What is the best way to get another object's method to update my GUI?

         jLabel2.setText("My Label");
         c.add(jLabel2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
         f.setVisible(true);
    {\code]
    The method setUpConnectionToDB can take 1 - 10 mins to complete. By this time a user will prob have quit my app thinking
    it's crashed because it doesn't update the GUI with a progress status. :(
    What is the best way to get this method to update the GUI of the app which calls it?
    Something like  Connection connection = Tools.setUpConnectionToDB(url,userName,pwd, this);
    ie this being a reference to the GUI's JFrame is what I'm trying to use?

    A handy class to know about but not really what I'm after.
    I need the method call
    Tools.setUpConnectionToDB(url,userName,pwd);
    to be able to update a component ( The JLabel ) on the GUI
    Connection connection = Tools.setUpConnectionToDB(url,userName,pwd, this);
    [\code]
    method defn:public static Connection setUpConnectionToDB( String url, String user, String pwd, JFrame f ){
    //Why doesn't this code below modify the GUI on the calling App?
    f.jLabel2.setText("Setting UP DB Connection");
    f.repaint();
    Connection c = null;
    try{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    c = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,pwd);

  • What is best way to get LCD display for Mac mini?

    Just got Mac Mini but when I connect it to my Samsung LCD the display quality is crap.  What is the best way to get HD resolution, (maximum quality) from this set up?

    Thanks,
    I did try all of the settings on the LCD display.  It is 1,920 x 1,080 pixels.  Built in 2011 by Samsung as a HD TV, computer monitor and audio/video combo.  I just let the Mac mini select the appropriate settings when I did initial startup last night.  I It came with an HDMI to DVI adapter which (to me) implies I need to get the male end of the DVI adapter to connect to the 9 pin (PC input).  Current HDMI is working but just not the "wow factor" that I expected from the Mac mini.  Compatibiltiy issue of some kind; input/output, settings, software update, or user error   Was trying to avoid getting a new monitor.
