I want to use a netbook as a cell phone for voice calling/receiving

I realize that AT&T has a smart phone that will also allow mp3 playing and ibook reading, but its draw back for me is that it is restricted to how large a SD card you install, max 64mb.
I would like to be able to use my AT&T cell number on a netbook which has 250GB of storage as I like to listen to audio books and take up a lot of storage space.
Maybe something that plugs into a USB port that will receive and send on cell phone frequencies.
A SD adaptor that would allow me to move my SIM card over to the netbook.
A program that would run in the back ground that would listen for incoming calls and would come foreground when I wanted to make a call.
The mp3 player and ibook reader are no problem as they can just be downloaded.
Anyone know of anything like this or simular to?
Tks

No phone plans for iPads, they do data only.
You can use VoIP apps such as Skype or google voice.

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add a new account by tapping the "create Apple ID" button. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

Simple question: I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder. How can I do this? If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space.

I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

It can be done with analog but not digital thanks to "good 'ol" HDCP copy protection which apple (and most other manufacturers) unfortunately respect.
So you can take the analog output from your cable box (component -- 5 cables -- if it has it but generally they all have composite -- 3 cables) and feed it into some kind of converter or into some appropriate pci card for your mac pro. But none of them are going to let you directly use the HDMI output from the box to your computer.
Bottom line, no single cord is going to work and it will never be the higher quality digital picture you get on your tv.
Some qualification: There are boxes that I think support hdmi input. Look at Blackmagic. But I still don't think you can get around the HDCP from the cable box (might depend on the kind of cable box).

The Cloud is a delivery process... you still install the program(s) on your computer, and then pay a subscription fee to use the program(s)

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
Thanks in advance,
Grtz T.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Using Cisco 3526 IPVC for Voice Calls as well

Does anybody know the latest capabilities of the Cisco 3526 gateway when used as a Voice gateway? The Cisco SRND for "Cisco IP Video Telephony", which was published in July 2004, states that the IPVC gateways do NOT support H.245 Empty Capabilities Set or H.450. So they will give you supplementary services such as Hold, transfer, etc. Version 3.0 of the 3526 documentation lists "Empty capability set support" as a feature, although it does not state H.245 or H.450.
Basically, I want to use a 3526 as a second Voice gateway as well as a Video gateway in a Call Manager deployment. I am just concerned that I won't get all the supplementary services when using it for voice calls.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I know the product can support voice, my main concern was the support for ECS (Empty Capabilities Set) within H.245. If it does not support this my IP Phones will not be able to use the supplementary features such as Hol;d, Transfer, etc,etc.
I have escalated this to Cisc here in the UK for clarification. I am sure it will, but I just want clarification from Cisco or somebody that has used it in the same scenario.

IPhone 5s with hearing aids via Bluetooth. Need to use the phone for voice, what's the best distance that the mic will pick up your voice

I wear hearing aids that are made for Apple, the audio will go into the hearing aids via Bluetooth. I'll need to use my phone for voice only.. I drive for work and have a wok oh one too and both are synced to a bluetooh headset (LG). I'm trying to figure out how to talk on both phones ( use speakerphone on work phone?) without using a bluretooh headset. I don't know the range of the microphone on the IPHON, thinking about hanging it around my neck or put the phone into a stand/holder on the dash and use the speakerphone feature. Looking for ideas to make this simple

You can't do anything with that problem.
Take your iPhone to the closest Apple Store and they will give you new one for 200€/$ or if you bought your iPhone in less than 12 months you will get it for free.

Unable to select 'Use Phone for audio calls' on Cisco Jabber Client 9.6 for Windows

Hi,
I have recently deployed Cisco Presence Server and integrated with Call Manager 9.1.2. I have successfully deplyed 6700 users on IM & Presence. Some of the users requested for Cisco Jabber with phone control.
I have added CFS client on the Call Manager and associated it with the same extension numbers from their desk phones. I am currently able to make audio and video calls for these specific users. I am currently using Cisco Jabber Client 9.6 for windows. I have users both daisy chained to their desk phones and who are not. Can you please confirm if it does make any difference.
Problem Faced -
I am not able to use to option use phone for audio calls. The phone comes down with a cross sign on it. At the same time Cisco Jabber by default uses the client and it works as expected.
Can you please let me know if any of you guys have faced a similar issue.
Please let me know if you need any information regading the configuration used.
Looking forward for your valuable comments.
Thank you.
Regards,
Joseph Chirayath.

Hi Will,
I am attaching the screen shot for the END USER on CUCM 9.X that has been configured on Cisco Jabber.
Please do let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you.

If I buy the iphone 6 contract free T-Mobile, is he also unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks

If I buy the new iphone 6 here in US, as a contract free T-Mobile, is he also will be unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks

Some users are reporting their contract-free T-Mobile iPhone 6 is unlocked, others are saying that they had to activate on T-Mobile and use their network for 40-days to get T-Mobile to unlock the iPhone.
It would be wise to wait for the release of the Apple unlocked models.

Can I use Blu Dash Music 4.0 phone for verizon?

Can I use Blu Dash Music 4.0 phone for verizon?

Hi russell2147,
Let's see if you can use that app on your device! Which phone are you using? Is that a 3rd party app you use for listening to music? Most apps give information prior to download so you can check if that app is able to be used on a specific phone. I suggest checking that information to confirm it.
Thank you!

I had to restore my iPhone and now when I cannot use my iTunes stored on the phone for an alarm or ringtone.

I had to restore my iPhone and now I cannot use my iTunes stored on the phone for an alarm or ringtone.

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries
