I'm new to apple
I'm new to apple & a novice pc user. I've been offered a G4 at (I think) a reasonable price. I have alot of photos on external hard-drives which I use for powerpoint presentations, and at the moment am struggling with an old laptop. Is the G4 compatible, will it cope and also what else might I need to be able to do this type of work? Any help / advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
I think it still depends which Canon Camera & RAW iteration it uses, it does look like maybe they have SW for older Macs...

256 MB is not really enough, & I suspect it's running a really, really old version of OSX, or maybe even OS9?
Here's a list of G4 towers, see if you can find the one it is, & the CPU speed, & Graphic card it has, the top one is 5 times faster than the bottom model, other things being equal..

I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account]. Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match. I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??
You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ? -

New to Apple. Any suggestions for a contact mgmt. app for Mac similar to ACT?
I am totally new on Apple products. Can anyone suggest if there is a comparable product such as ACT or Goldmine for Customer Contact Management purpose? I am excited about the simplicity of "Contacts" on Mac compared to ACT or some of the more complex programs where we never use all those fancy features. I am not fully aware of Apple's "Contacts" program capabilities yet.
I run a small business and need some basic features such as being able to sort contacts based on City, type of client, or any other fields, so I can create reports and use the list for marketing purposes, etc.
I will greatly appreciate if anyone has suggestions on the following two items:
How to migrate my ACT contacts easity into either iCloud or on my new Mac?
Any tutorials that I can look at how small businesses are using the Mac contacts database?
Thank you so much for your help!Daylite from Marketcircle is probaby the best bet: It's a full-fledged CRM solution. It will work for a single person, though it's most targeted at small workgroups (5-50 people).

Hi I am new to apple script; I was using Automator but it became too dumb to it's surroundings after a while. Can you please tell me why these don't do what I think they should; Safari has 2 windows open one with four tabs (window 1 as I have used exists to be sure of) and one with 9 (window 2).
tell application "Safari"
activate tab 6 of window 2
end tell
all it does is bring the frontmost safari window up
Please helpThere are a couple of reasons behind this, mostly because you're using the wrong command.
The main thing is that the 'activate' command is used to activate the application. Any other parameters (such as 'tab 6 of window 2') are discarded.
Instead, the appropriate syntax is to set the current tab property of the window:
tell application "Safari"
set current tab of window 2 to (tab 6 of window 2)
end tell
It's a little verbose, but it works.
If you also want to bring that window frontmost you need to change its index:
tell application "Safari"
tell window 2
set current tab to (tab 6 of window 2)
set index to 1
end tell
end tell
Note though that changing the window index will now also change this window to 'window 1' instead of 'window 2'. Something to bear in mind if you're taking further actions. -
New To Apple -MacBookPro-Safari v IE
I am new to Apple. I have just purchased a MacBook Pro and am having trouble migrating from the Windows Internet Explorer environment.
I did multiple "searches" on my questions and found nothing.
In IE's set up you had "Favorites" where you could place, organize and delete websites.
In Safari Browser, it came loaded with sites I never ues and I want to eliminate them but cannot find out how. I have reviewed the tutorialsd on Apples website and those imbedded in the MacBookPro.
Can someone "coach" me on where I might find the info? Or maybe give me a hand?
Thanks!

Well I tried your link and did not find anything relevant to my questions about bookmarks. Did I miss something?

His link was to the Safari for Mac forums. As I read it, he provided that as a place to repost your question, as there are some real Safari gurus there who are quite helpful regardless of one's experience level. It would probably get you more exposure to knowing eyes, as yours is specifically an application issue and not a MacBook Pro hardware issue. CMCSK was trying to get you the most targeted help for your question. -
New to Apple world, 2G/3G/Lte working in ios8 (in India for all networks)
Hi guys.....
I am a great gadget lover, I have been using android and smart phones but now I am new to Apple.
I possessed an Iphone 5C 16 GB on 24th Oct.
I am here to clarify with a good news for the people of India regarding 2G/3G/Lte toggle, especially Airtel customers.
Yes, ITS WORKING 100% now after updating it to iOS8.
Yes, its working and even I am a Airtel user.
Its neither an operator's problem nor an Apple's.
Just read below.
Very interesting fact that Airtel has launched 3G in India few months back, but I dont know about other cities but in Kolkata Airtel doesnot has its own 3G tower, it is using Vodafone's. So I am going to share all the experience I had today morning before having my Iphone with Airtel 3G.
Please note I have provided all the information below for Airtel users and after updating it to iOS8.
I was also not getting Airtel 3G.
Firstly, I took a Reliance GSM sim which I converted it to nano sim and then plugged in my Iphone, it gave me an option of 2G and 3G and ofcourse LTE. I used choosing 3G for 5-10 mins and it was fine. Then there comes the question that why not Airtel working the same way?
Then I used my other android phone and plugged my airtel sim in that phone and I found that there was no 3G in it also. Then I contacted customer care, he noted the problem and transferred the call to his senior. He then further clarified that Airtel doesn't have its own 3G tower and they use Vodafone's.
Here the steps you need to do- (on that same another 3g featured android phone)
1. Plug your Airtel sim in that android or any other 3G featured phone and check if your geeting 3G coverage, if yes then sim is ok then the below steps will not be useful.
2. If no 3G coverage your getting in the phone then follow the below steps.
1. Go to mobile network settings
2. Select manually instead of automatic and wait for it to search all the networks.
3. Then you will find Vodafone 3G or Vodafone IND, select that.
4. It will be configured, so now turn on your mobile data and see the new H or 3G icon will show, that means 3G is working on Airtel now.
Now comes steps for Iphone-
1. Now you plugged that same Airtel sim back in your Iphone.
2. Go to network settings and similarly select manual network and then select Vodafone IND.
3. The phone will update itself taking 1-2 minute and it might also restart if required.
4. Thats it, your done, now you will see your phone will show Vodafone 3G instead of AIRTEL, thats it your done.
What I believed that senior executive had done was registered my AIRTEL SIM on Vodafone's 3G, might be but I am not sure.
So now sad days are gone, Cheers and Enjoy .
I just love Apple, thanks Apple lovely Iphone and awesome features and everything..Tell Apple.

Hello everyone - I'm new to Apple and these forums. I just bought an iMac 21.5" the cheapest version. I have a couple of programs that I use that will only run on Windows. What is the best way to go about that? Bootcamp? Paralells? or something else?
I have a copy of Windows Vista I'll be using.
Thank you!Thank you everyone. I'll try VirtualBox and see what happnes. If I have questions I'll post them as soon as I try it this weekend.
Thanks again! -
Hello, my name is Karan Taneja and i have been a loyal Apple customer.
I have been using Apple since it introduced iphone 4 and have been upgrading/buying every new phone Apple introduces after that.
I was always happy and surprized to see Apple doing so good to its customers.
Unfortunately, i experienced some thing really unprofessional and different this time.
It begun suddenly one day when i tried to charge my phone, the phone was on silent mode and as usual the phone vibrated when i kept it for charge.
After a few seconds the phone vibrated twice or thrice again when i re-inserted the cable thinking it might be loose.
It continued to charge well when i left the room for 2 hours and finally when i returned i could see a damaged i phone 5
lying on the floor and the phone vibrating continuously and i figured out there was a fault with the cable and the
current wasnt flowing continuously due to which the phone continued to vibrate and fell off the shelf.
Next day i took the iphone to Apple service centre at Saket which was closed.
Thinking its August 15 and so the store might be closed i went back to home and waited for the next day but unfortunately could not turn up since
i had to go to work on odd timings.
I again went to the same service centre on 17th August 2013 and saw the service centre closed again when i tried to contact
the other service centre and was informed about Saket's service centre already been shut down.
There was no hoarding/ banner any kind of intimation for the customers.
Since 18th August was Sunday and i was occupied on 19th August i went to service centre at Ansal Plaza Khel Gaon Marg on
20th August 2013 to complaint about the Faulty Cable and the damaged caused to my iphone 5 due to the same.
I very well explained the same to one of the person at the receiving desk at the service centre who accepted the cable
but explained me that he doesnt have the authority to accept my iphone without permission from the technical support people
who will be able to help me in that case and gave me the toll free number.
i Tried to reach the toll free number and finally managed to get online with a technical support executives who too all my details and
summary of the problem i experienced and finally kept me on hold for almost 10 minutes ormore after which he said he said that my
case cannot be considered and while the discussion was on, the call was disconnected and i was left frustrated as i still was at the service centre
but finally i left with no hope from Apple .
I tried to reach again at the toll free number, and finally managed to talk to a well behaved person who assured me of considering my case and suggested
me to go back to the service centre and advice the the person at the recieving end there to get me connected to the technical support team when i reach so that i could
submit my phone but, since, it was already around 4:30 and the service centre was about to shut and due to traffic
conditions all around i thought of visiting the service centre next day.
On 21st August 2013, i went back to the service centre and spoke to the one of the store person who adviced the case to the manager Mr. Alok ( as i remember )
who was really rude to tell me that i will have to call the technical support team on my own and then he will connect and that its not his work and all that .
I finally connected to one of the senior technical support executives Mr.Mohamed Azharuddin K who understood my concern and spoke to the manager of the store to accept
my iphone.
My iphone was finally collected and i was assured i would get a call back next day from the service centre about the update.
It was now 22nd August 2013, no update was given,no call was received, i tried to call the service centre at 12:30, they were unaware about my case and knew only about the cable and said will call me
back very shortly.
I called back at 2:30, still no update, at 4:30 i called back again when i was told that my case cannot be considered and i can collect my phone.
Similar discussion was held with Mr.Mohamed Azharuddin K.
I knew by the time i will reach the service centre would again close.
He told me that my case cannot be considered since the cable was recieved in the dead condition and wasnt working at all unlike what i told him about the cable.
On 23th August 2013, i went back to the service centre and collected my phone. When i asked about my old cable and told them that it was working and i wanted the technician
to check it properly when i handed it over, they had no answer but to say its already shipped. I spoke to the manager who said that he never told any body that the cable
was received in dead condition and he only conveyed to other authorities that the cable had fault .
I finally dont know what to do and came back with the new cable.
I just visited my time, petrol and parking charges in getting the cable replaced.
If i calculated i have spent around 16 hours and 2000 worth of money in just getting the cable replaced and have a broken phone in hand.
More than a weeks torture.
Is that the way apple compensates for its fault ????????????????
I will make sure that i never buy any thing from Apple and advice all the people i know to not trust Apple blindly.Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off. -
After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks
It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

Need help for icloud photo stream, have activated ps on iphone 4 and set up icloud back up for email, contacts, iwork, and find my ihone. Need to find photos that we thought were being saved/shared as well but evidently not. Found on another search that I may need the icloud control panel so tried to download it but when try to install i get, C:\Users\Downloads\icloudsetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I am using a Toshiba laptop with windows 7, which the system requirements are met. I am new to Apple stuff, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
It suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
New to Apple products (finally) - can I use my Itunes account with multiple products e.g. Iphone and Ipad?
Oh yes! Apple will be happy for you to buy as many Apple products as you can afford.
As and when needed, each can be given its own selections of content to sync with.

2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share
--break--
So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
The MINI is for the wife.
But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
thanks again (explanations or links are fine)There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:
https://appleid.apple.com

How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another? My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.
OK, now I have another problem. I typed in my email address wrong. Instead of optonline.net I typed in optimum.net. Though I can google my email address and it defaults to the optonline.net the email to confirm the change is not showing up. I know, real stupid. Now I cannot log onto either address as the original is not changed and the email has not showed so am I done here? I appreciate your help!!! Carl
