im guessing the cycle count is no good cause ive been reading and a lot of peoples is around 90 something....now where it says "remaining capacity=0"...obviously thats why im thinkin i need a new battery.....i dont know to much about laptop batterys or how to cycle them or charge them so let me know and idk if this def. means its garbage or if there could be any other possible reason it says this....anyone who knows all this stuff please let me know ASAP i would really appreciate it....thanks a lot!!

After taking a dip in my vest pocket in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, my nearly new 5S spent 5 days in rice and silica gel packets. It definitely dried out, but there is damage to either the battery or the circuit board because it turns on, and I continuously get a blue screen and it reboots every five minutes for a half hour, and then miraculously, it stays on and works perfectly. But I wound up having to fork over $700 for a new 6+. because I couldn't stand the rebooting any longer. I had no insurance, but I do now, Apple insurance, not carrier ins.

I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days. How to I adjust the mail settings?

I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days. How to I adjust the mail settings?

I think it must be an IMAP account then, & in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced>Keep copies for Offline viewing:>Don't keep copies, then on the Server, or maybe it's just this one itself, but on the Server you have a setting to remove eMails after 30 days.
If it's a POP account we'd have to investigate that... but you didn't say so I'm guessing here.

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!

I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
To fix this
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

I use a OLD G3 when I travel and mostly I am connecting over the satellites which is not really the best connection.
I use GMX which is free and never have a problem getting my emails from anywhere even in the middle of the oceans.
It does work using Apple mail and the adress book

Please help! Thanks!

Enable the Sort Artist, Album Artist and Sort Album Artist columns so you can see what is going on. Album Artist normally takes precedence over Artist, with the Sort fields further controlling the order.

Try using the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself, open it on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import them to Address Book (or Contacts if you have Mountain Lion).

Dropped Macbook, need to figure out replacement part

I'll begin this by saying in hindsite I could have handled this a better way but it is what it is.
My white 2007 macbook fell off the bed (landed flat on the bottom on a thick rug) about a year ago and it worked fine until the battery died and I went to turn it on again. It would turn on but wouldn't go past the gray "loading" screen. Now it doesn't turn on at all. What do I need to replace? When it first happened I had a Mac IT guy (for a business, not for Apple) check it out and he said that all of the data was there I just needed to replace the OS (Snow Leopard?) However, now a year later it doesn't turn on at all. It's not the battery I don't think, the battery was only a few months old. I didn't take care of this at first because I didn't know anything about fixing things and erronously thought I would have to pay half a thousand to fix - now I know I can easily do most of it myself. I'm assuming it's the internal hard drive but I'm no expert. Thanks for your help.

No, it does not work with the plug in. I haven't tried it with the battery out though. This not turning on started a while ago though, not recently.
I'm looking for a cheap fix (DIY...), I could take it in for them to figure out what's wrong but the closest store is an hour away and my macbook is an hour away in another direction with a Mac-knowledgeable family memember. So, taking it in will only happen if it isn't obvious as to what is wrong with it.

Need Help Figuring Out How to Access On/Off Field in Upper Left Hand Corner

I am hoping someone can help as I am not at all TECHNICALLY SAVVY!! I must have hit some wrong button yestyerday because now I cannot get access to my messages on my Blackberry Curve. I think it may be because the word OFF appears at the top of the screen on my Blackberry on the far left hand side and I cannot figure out how to access that part of the screen to change it to say ON.

Well, give it a few minutes, and if after 15 minutes no new email messages, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Meanwhile, if you've read or deleted any of the email sent in the interim from your PC, you won't be getting it on your BlackBerry.

I need help figuring out how to Link Data from one table in Sharepoint to another table in Sharepoint and make it dynamic

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a project that uses SharePoint 2010 for repository and we have multiple tables that we are using.
One table is a list of the various projects we are working on (workstreams)
The other is a table with various notes and such, to include meeting notes for the various projects.
Currently we are just copying the shortcut from the meeting notes table and adding it in as a link in the workstreams status table.
I need to find out if there is some sort of way to make this process dynamic so that when a new note is added for, lets say workstream #1 in the notes table, it will automatically propogate into the notes link section for workstream #1.
Is this even possible??
And if so how would I do it
I haven't done much with modifying SharePoint in several years, and would Truly appreciate any and all help with this.
Thanks in advance
IKE

Hi IKE,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a link in the workstreams list linked to the associated item of the notes list.
Assuming the workstreams list has Title column and another column called “Note” used to linked to notes list, and the notes list has Title column and another column used to store note.
Then you can create a workflow on the notes list with SharePoint Designer 2010, and in the workflow, using “Update ListItem” action. And in the workflow Start Options, select “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.
For the workflow action, you can set as the screenshot:
For the string in the String Builder, you need to open an item of notes list, then copy the URL of the display form and paste here, the URL will look something like this:
http://sp/Lists/notes/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsp%2FLists%2Fnotes%2FAllItems%2Easpx&ContentTypeId=0x0100300025278693CE49A5E3A394B23AD9E1&IsDlg=1
Now, you need to replace the ID of the item using [%Current Item:ID%], for example in the above link, delete the number 1 and add [%Current Item:ID%].
Best Regards,
Wendy
