I'm thinking about getting an itouch but i have questions about Wi-Fi.

+i like the itouch and i think i wanna get it but i don't have much experience with Wi-Fi so i want to know some things before i buy it. where can i find Wi-Fi? Is it only in certain locations? Will i have to do something to access it? How often do you have Wi-Fi? Is it a once in a while thing or can you find it on a more continuous basis?+

Do a google search and read up on wi-fi.

If it scare y ou then take the machien back and ask the Apple Store to do this for you. What has probably filled your computer is large libraries such as music, photos and movies. Apple explains how to move those libraries to an external HD. Please read:

Purch. & installed upgrade from iLife 2 to iLife 08, but I have questions..

Hi ~
_Purchased & installed upgrade from iLife 2 to iLife 08, but I have questions..._
First I made sure I backed up my 5,500 photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive. (The only downfall to this backing-up process is that I haven't found an easy way to back-up the comments attached to each photo. Any advice on this? Part of the "horror" to losing one's photos is also losing the comments added to them over the years.)
Back to the install... I installed iLife 08 and it installed correctly. I checked to see what version of the applications I have in the dock on my desktop - I figured it would just import existing data (photos, tunes, etc.) into the newer version and replace it in the dock - +it only did this for iDVD+, of course it wasn't that easy for the others.
I can't find the newer version of iPhoto. My iPhoto in the dock still says version 2. iTunes in my dock is version 7 (7.4.2). iMovie is version 3 (3.0.3). But the new Garageband is there in the dock. And of course, iDVD is the newer version '08.
I am most concerned with iPhoto and making sure all the photos AND their comments import correctly into the newer iPhoto 08. I am nervous about this so I want to make sure I do the process correctly.
I also want to make sure my iTunes information imports correctly to the newer version as well.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kathy

If you backed up the iPhoto Library Folder then you got everything - photos, albums, comments etc
I can't find the newer version of iPhoto. My iPhoto in the dock still says version 2. iTunes in my dock is version 7 (7.4.2). iMovie is version 3 (3.0.3). But the new Garageband is there in the dock. And of course, iDVD is the newer version '08.
The Dock is not important. Look in your Applications Folder for iPhoto 08. That's where it should be. The Dock is just a shortcut to that. What version is in your Apps folder?
To upgrade a Library from v2 to iPhoto 08 all you do is open the Library with the newer version.

THINKING OF GETTING AN iTOUCH

My palm just died and I am considering getting an iTouch. Is there any way to transfer the data on my palm and my palm desktop to the iTouch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's not possible to sync Palm Desktop with iPhone/iPod Touch. If you're using a PC the least path of resistance would be to import your Palm Desktop contacts and calender into Microsoft Outlook. You could then sync Outlook with the iPod Touch
On a Mac, you would import your Palm Desktop (contacts and calender) into iCal and then you can sync iCal with the iPod Touch. On the Mac you have the new optional MobileMe service which allows you to remote sync with your desktop (iCal) from any WiFi hotspot.

My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use the functions of Icloud on the same account at Verizon or do we have to have separate accounts to be able to use all the features

My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?

If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

I want to upgrade to Yosemite but I have questions

I have never upgraded my OS on my MAC, it's always worked fine, and still does. I'm still using OSX 10.6.8 but i'm thinking about upgrading to Yosemite. I have Word, Excel & Powerpoint, all 2008. I also Have Adobe Bridge CS4 and Photoshop Elements 8.0 I'm wondering if anyone knows if those programs will still work with the new OS, or am i about to be in the market for new software too?
Also, this Mac is pre-Cloud, will upgrading to Yosemite, make my Mac now a part of the cloud?
Any help is appreciated
TY!

I'm running Office 2008 on my 2011 iMac with 8 GB of memory and it runs fine. I've got PSE 10 which also runs. If you need to upgrade your PSE then the latest version would be the way to go.
PS CS4 should work with Yosemite as I'm running CS3 which works fine. However, you'll need to download and install Java from this Apple webpage: Java for OS X 2014-001 for both PS and PSE to run.
Definitely go to the Roaring Apps website and check out all of your 3rd party apps there before making the jump to see which will need to be upgraded.

Thinking of getting an iPad but have a few questions

After using the iPhone 4 (3GS previously) and really liking the OS on it, I am thinking of purchasing an iPad to make reading ebooks easier, also, having the iPad would be more convenient for me to quickly go on the net in my home (or other wifi area, but mostly home use) to seek information and also check, send emails, rather than having to switch the computer on all the time and then having to wait for it to load up and also with the iPad, the larger screen would make email, internet use and ebook use more pleasurable due to the iPad's larger screen when compared to using my iPhone.
I have a few questions that I would like to ask to iPad users, who could perhaps answer them for me?
In my household we have 2 iTunes libraries, one for my iPhone and one for my girlfriend's iPod. I created a separate iTunes library for each of the devices so that each one would have a totally separate library and therefore the possibility of having one overwriting the others library would be impossible.
Now ideally I would be wanting to create a separate iTunes library for the iPad, but I would want to add the music and apps, email accounts, bookmarks that I have on my iPhone and add them onto my iPad. Would this possible?
Also. I believe some apps have specific versions for either iPhone or iPad, so would the iPhone versions of the apps run on the iPad, or would I need to download the iPad versions of those particular apps?
Also. I have a number of DVD's that I have converted and then dragged and dropped the video off of them into iTunes. If I am correct, would I need to reconvert those videos/DVD's again, as the video size (screen size) would be for the iPhone and therefore a smaller screen, which would not look very good on the iPad's much larger screen. If this is the case, can anyone recommend a good video converter for converting video for the iPad and what settings need to be used for the iPad?
I also would be wanting to have a number of photos on the iPad. To get them onto the iPad, is it just a simply matter of selecting the pictures I have on my computer that I want added to my iPad, and then just dragging and dropping them into iTunes, then connecting and syncing the iPad to get them added on to the iPad, or is there an easier method?
Thanks in advance

Funny you should mention Macs, but I'm thinking of my next computer been an iMac, and using the Parallel Desktop software so that I can have functionality of been able to switch to Windows when needed to run the programs that are not Mac compatibly. I'm swaying towards Mac has I have heard their OS is more reliable and secure compared to Windows, and the need to have anti virus and anti spyware programs on a Mac is not really needed, but I figure if I can run Windows on a Mac then I have the best of both worlds, anyhow back on to topic
I do indeed take backups of the various libraries and related data for them.
I have used the Dropbox app and was impressed, but I did prefer an app called iFiles which allows me to carry various files/files types around with me on my iPhone, such as PDF files, Word doc files etc.
The reason I use the method of having a separate iTunes library for each device we use on the computer, (my iPhone, girlfriend's iPod, and soon maybe an iPad) is because I accidentally replaced the music I had on an iPod I had at the time with my girlfriend's music. So from then on, that's why I have created a separate library for each Apple device, and so far I have never accidentally messed up another devices contents.
Thanks for the help its much appreciated.

Thinking of getting a iPad, BUT

I think I may get the 2nd gen iPad but,I was wondering if there was a way to transfer work back and forth from my Mac to the iPad and iPad to Mac? There is no USB port so it can not be done that way. How are people doing it who own the first gen.

,I was wondering if there was a way to transfer work back and forth from my Mac to the iPad and iPad to Mac?
Yes.
Plug it into your computer and transfer the files through iTunes. Or use DropBox or some other similar app.

Done what way?

Same way they will do it with the 2nd gen.

In youtube any video gets open for download, I think through an add-on but I have a few of them and i don't know which one

For example, say, I open this youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ORhEE9VVg
Firefox opens it and whithin 5 seconds, with no action on my part - no clicking, typing, nothing - transfers me over to:
https://r7---sn-8p85jvh-nv4e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?mm=31&source=youtube&ratebypass=yes&dur=272.462&mt=1423341461&mv=m&ms=au&fexp=907263%2C924628%2C927622%2C930676%2C943917%2C945098%2C947225%2C948124%2C948909%2C952302%2C952605%2C952612%2C952901%2C955301%2C957201%2C959701&ip=79.100.24.238&upn=3_qYUmHqoVM&id=o-ALB3CMI8PMR7Ylk-0D_a76ghgOzcADyQvQ21B3HCYCCW&sparams=dur%2Cid%2Cinitcwndbps%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Cmime%2Cmm%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cpl%2Cratebypass%2Crequiressl%2Csource%2Cupn%2Cexpire&initcwndbps=1272500&expire=1423363109&sver=3&pl=20&requiressl=yes&mime=video%2Fmp4&key=yt5&itag=22&ipbits=0&fallback_host=tc.v7.cache5.googlevideo.com&quality=hd720&signature=D5CA5BD786DB0F73296165DE1C2EDE972A6EAAF353.893EB11517D389BCA3436ADEE89CF0D6C2D60E2420&title=Taylor%20Swift%20-%20Blank%20Space%20%28HD%29
Which sometimes stays in the address bar over a completely blank window, (like in the case stated above) and sometimes opens a download window, with the video in mp4. It suggests I open the file with VLC.
Is this a virus or something - or is it something an add-on would be responsible for?
I have the following add-ons (in the way that they are listed on my toolbar):
Down them all
Download Helper
Flash Video Downloader (which recently got automaitically updated)
Download flash & video (forgot this add-on's name, that's what it says on the tool tip on mouse-over)
FlashGot
and GreasMonkey (but with only 2 scripts, and none of them related to videos, just IMDb fixer and Image enlarger)
I have the VLC Media Player Plug-in, could this be the reason this is happening?
I know what you're gonna say - try disabling them to see which one it is. It's complicated :) but I can't, I've got too many windows open, like 700, and shutting Firefox down or restaring it the normal way is near next to impossible sometimes :)
Another way is for me to save my session file and open a new session, and then disable add-ons one by one to see which one's to blame. It's even possible some of them are maybe incompatible with this version of Firefox.
So f someone can tell me if they're having the same problems, and maybe suggest a solution, I'd be happy to hear all about it.
Thanks in advance :)

Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Thinking of upgrading to SL,But i have some Question before moving to SL

I will be glad if anybody can help me with my questions before moving to Sl.first,i like to know,after upgrading or fresh install,do i need to reinstall another windows xp on the machine,cos i use VMware Fusion?
Secondly,What option is the best,Upgrade or Fresh install?
Can i make backup using an external usb2 drive? and what can i do so my old setting remain after installing SL.Setting like my Chat history,and will my applications use the same lience key?
Anybody with usefull advice?
What important it the history of chat i had on my pc.i work for a company as a mid man and this history help me to remember last diccussion with client..

In your place, I would move to SL if, and only if, I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal on it. I think that there is enough risk in going to SL that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine alone for backup/restoring when moving to an OS upgrade or doing a point update. This app can be problematic and, consequently, its solo use is too risky for me in these cases. You will be able to extract your settings, files, and programs from your clone if you do an erase and install. You can erase and install or upgrade with any SL disk except the gray ones that come with specific machines. I still prefer to erase and install.
To erase and install (see upgrade option below), start up to your DVD and stop after selecting your language. Use the menus to start Disk Utility and erase your drive. Quit Disk Utility and proceed with your installation. At the end, you will be able to choose to reclaim your settings, files, and apps from the clone (plug in the external at the point of the last install restart).
If you do not like SL, then you can restore your internal using the clone. I would do all cloning and related restoration with SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, or some other up-to-date cloning app, including Disk Utility. Your clone also will serve as an independent backup for your data.
Upgrading is a very sound process on a Mac. Still, I also would insist on having a bootable clone on an external before upgrading. An upgrade is performed by installing over your existing installation from the desktop or having started from your SL DVD. All your programs, data, and settings will be present after an upgrade, but incompatible programs will be archived.

Thinking of buying a macbook, but I have old Windows games and....

I'm wondering if they will work good on the macbook using bootcamp.
most of my games are like all of the pc games of star wars, Xwing, tie fighter, tie fighter VS xwing and alot others.
I was thinking of buying (God Help ME) a Gateway 610X a all in one with a 17" LCD on eBay refurbished for $644.90 including shipping.
Now I love macs I have a G5 iMac and a G4 eMac but I like to play my old games, some are 10 yrs old but I love them, yes I am a star wars geek!
I did have a Compaq EVO N600c but when I tried to update the BIOS if failed and wiped the BIOS, DOH!!!! So now I have a good Compaq paperweight,LOL!
thanks!!
Jim

Using boot camp, if they will even run in Win XP, then they will run just fine on the MacBook running Windows XP.

This doesn't fit, but I have questions New MACBOOK pro 15 inch

I am going to get the new Macbook Pro 15inch. I want the 2.8Ghz and I will build up the RAM later. Anyway, for the money should I go the 3.0 GHz? I am a video editor that works on SD and HD, usually never over 720p. I also do a little work in AE, I make my titles and some low level graphics. Will there be a big difference for me in 2.2Ghz of chip power, or can will I be fine for a while with the 2.8.
I know the MAC isn't out yet, but I am trying to save some money. It beats the old price of the mac daddy 15 inch that was topping out at 2300 bucks.
Cheers.

The 2.8Ghz should work fine. I don't think you would notice that much difference going to the 3.0Ghz. Get a large/fast HD though for video. I just put a 500GB 7200RPM in my aluminum MBP. The 250GB 7200RPM stock drive outgrew me fast.

Thinking of getting a playbook!

Hi
I am thinking of getting a playbook but have a few basic questions:
Can you link or bridge more than 1 bb phone to it?
Can you watch 'sky go' and download sky go movies/programmes on to it?
Can you use skype on it?
And what is the battery life time like?
Sorry for being so such a thicko but i dont want to waste £200 and i am a bb fan so would love a pb rather than a different tablet.
Thanks
Ian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I find the battery life to be great, it says 10 hours but a lot depends on whether you're using Wi-Fi, Bridging reading a book or things that keep the screen on for long periods of time. I usually get a few days or up to a week.
Sky Go says they'll have an Android out right about now, so with OS 2 it should work with Sky Go,

On option 3 but BT have restricted my speed

HI,
I thought option 3 was unlimited?? The internet at home gets used alot and at differnet times of the day hence my decision to get option 3, but I have been slowed down to 1Mbps.
What can be done to have this resolved? This is a pain and very irritating to say the least.
I would have phoned but I am at work and aware there are BT employees about.
Thanks.

See below for the policy on this point:
B. Network Management 4. What is BT's Traffic Management Policy?
BT continuously monitors network performance and reduces the speed available to very heavy users (typically less than 1 per cent of all customers) during a given month to ensure that the service received by other customers is not impacted through extremely heavy usage by a minority of people.
Customers who are classified as very heavy users will experience significantly reduced speed at peak times (typically 5pm-midnight every day but these times may change depending on the demand on the network) for a period of 30 days, or for as long as very heavy use continues. This applies to customers on all Options.
BT Total Broadband Option 3 and BT Infinity Option 2 allow unlimited downloads and uploads within the monthly rental price, so customers on these products will not be charged for over-use. However, this does not preclude BT from reducing your speed if you are a heavy user in order to protect the experience for the rest of our customers.
We may need to vary the policy from time to time to ensure the best possible experience for all our customers. This site will always be kept up to date with the latest information.
