I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN software? And is it needed at the receiving end?

As long as you only enter your password in secure web forms, connect to secure mail servers, and don't mind if a stranger is watching which Internet servers you connect to (but can't see what you do with them), a VPN isn't necessary.

I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
any suggestions?

Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

The wireless on my laptop brokebut I can still connect to my phone when I plug it in. My iphone is connected to the wifi but is this being transfered onto the laptop or is it using up my data???

Personal hotspot shares your cellular connection with other devices via cable, bluetooth or WiFi. If you turn on the hotspot, the phone will be disconnected from the WiFi network you are on and share access to the cellular connection. That's what it's for. It's using your data plan if that's what you're trying to do.

I was using my wife's MacAir while my Macbook was in for repairs and now all of my printers want to do through her Macbook Air and unless it is on and on our home wireless, I can't print. Is there an easy "fix" for this?

Is it safe to update iPhone using public wifi (eg apple store)?

Hi,
Is it safe to update iPhone(from ios7 to ios7.04) using public wifi (eg apple store)? Thanks.

If it is an officially unlocked iPhone, you can use any supported SIM.
Follow these steps to upgrade: iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5

Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be adjusted.
I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

Hi, my free trial license has expired, and I am wondering if it's possible to only pay for one month for after effects without locking for a year with monthly fee. I only need this for a project that is ending next week.

Macbook Pro vs Macbook Air for Aperture while traveling

I have an old Macbook (white) that we've used for years while traveling, but Aperture 3 can't be used on it so I need to upgrade. (My MAIN computer is a 21" Imac). I will use it only for traveling to download photos each night and be able to review them, delete them, etc. and make DVDs of photos to serve as a backup. Once at home, the photos that have made it through the early elimination phase will be downloaded (with their masters) to the Imac...then deleted off the laptop.
Question: Is the Macbook Air WITH the external DVD burner, and 128 gb SS going to be what I need without overkill? OR...is the MBP that includes the DVD burner and has the 500 gb HD going to be what I need. Is the SS drive going to be more reliable for travel? (I'm careful with my 'puters.)
I'm an avid photographer, so will be using possibly two full 16 gb cards each day. (I take over 100 gb worth of cards with me.)
Price IS a consideration...would like to keep the price as low as I can.
Thanks.

Sorry I forgot the 4 GB RAM max of the MBP. My recommendation (based on your only-2-choices spec) still stands. I agree that the 4 GB is a very major limitation, not so much today but over the life of the box. The good news is that pages to SSD slow operation but are much less problematic than pages to HDD are.
Laptop 2.5" hard drives basically sujck from a boot drive performance standpoint.
However if we do not constrain to just your original 2 specific choices I would choose a MBP:
• The low end MBP can be had with SSD for +$200, IMO far preferable to MBA or HDD MBP. And RAM can go to 8 or 16 GB via third party as needed; also a 1 TB HDD can replace the Superdrive.
• My personal preference is to sell the iMac and go with a strong SSD MBP + external display as discussed in this thread:

Any experience with tep pocket WiFi and skype while traveling

Anyone had any experience with tep pocket WiFi and skype while traveling. Seems like a good solution in the UK

Did you ever get an answer to this or take the plunge? I'm curious what you found out...

Can too much memory lead to a kernel panic on a MacBook Pro? specs 2.4GHz intel core i7 16GB DDR3 RAM late2011..My laptop began suffering from kernel panics 3 mos ago first noticed using public wifi. Gone thru apple support all the way to engineers

Can too much RAM memory in a late 2011 model macbook pro lead to kernel panic? That is what I was told by a senior supervisor from apple support who troubleshot this issue.First noticed this problem in Dec 2014 while using a private wifi at a relative's home. Did not occur again until Feb1 using a public wifi at a hotel. Never happened on my private wifi network until last night attempting to use airplay. ( have used airplay before without issue). Late 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.9.5; 2.4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB DDR3,AMD Radeon HD 6770m 1024 MB graphic card. The laptop came with 8GB RAM and I installed 8 GB about 2 years ago for some reason I cannot remember... probably because I thought the system was slowing down a little. I know that sounds silly. I do not run multiple programs at a time except I leave 6-8 website tabs open simultaneously. I don't photo or video edit. I would describe my use as "light" based on reading these blogs.I had purchased apple support and spent hours on the phone with them in early Feb moving up through support and senior support to sending logs to the "engineers." Of course lots of things were done some of which I am sorry to report I cannot recall their technical definitions. Deleted 3rd party apps/programs; re-worked start up menu; re-installed operating system; reset " this, that and the other" using acrobatic simultaneous key strokes both in and out of safe mode..Anyway the results from the engineers came back and they suggested that if it happened again I was to remove the 8GB of RAM I had installed as the system was getting confused as to which chip to use.( that is my interpretation of what was said..prob dumbed down for me)...Anyway 1 day after these pronouncements came down I read that Apple had agreed to fix graphics cards in some late model 2011 MBPs. I felt this was unlikely to be the issue given all that had been done including an extended hardware test but called the Senior Support Supervisor I was working with to ask him to make sure. He never phoned me back. Should I go to the trouble of removing 8GB of RAM from my laptop? Of course I will try it as the alternative is a new computer.Blogs read that this model can support 16GB but Apple didn't test for it. Senior Supervisor claims this is my trouble. Does that make sense? Not to me....but it is clear to all my level of knowledge. Can a malfunctioning graphics card be missed by an extended hardware test? I appreciate comments.

The RAM needs specs as shown below.
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

Is there a firewall in iOS8 when using public WiFi?

If I am not able to use cell connections because I am out of range, but there is a public WiFi, I want to know my phone can't be seen by anyone I don't want to see it. Is there a firewall or something similar in iOS8 to cloak the phone as there is in OS10?

The danger in public, unsecured WiFi networks is not that people will be able to see the contents of our device. The danger lies in sending sensitive information over that network. Don't do your online banking, for example, over an unsecured, untrusted network.

International Travel Using Public WiFi and U.S. On...

I just installed Skype to use at public wifi's on a South America trip. I bought Skype credits, plan to use pay as you go, and set up a U.S online number. When I am in Ecuador as an example, I want to make calls to landlines back to the U.S., to other landlines and cells within country (Ecuador), and from Ecuador to landlines or cells in other South American countries.
Will my setup work for this? Will the rates be as if I'm in the U.S, and calling from the U.S. to Ecuador or the other countries?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It doesn't matter which country you are calling from. The rates are based on the country you are calling to, so for example the rates for calling to US are the same no matter where from the world you are calling.
There are currently some promotional rates for our users in US and Canada for making international calls, these rates are available only in US or Canada, but generally it does not matter which country you are located in.
You can check the rates on the following page:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/payg-rates/
Simply enter the country you want to call to, and the rates will be displayed.

Since using public wifi cannot send email

Hi.
I used a college public wifi today, I noted I could not send email which is not unusual perhaps they do not have ssl or whatever on the public.
Anyhow I have got home and I still cannot send emails. I have restarted the mac and mail etc but all four email accounts will not send email.
Its not my home network, my wife can send from the same LAN no problems.
Any ideas?
Mavericks latest

Perhaps start with the really simple stuff like read what I wrote
For what ever reason it seems to have righted it self so this is fixed!

Ipad when using public wifi

Is there any way to protect an ipad when using public wifi

Don't send any sensitive information over unsecured WiFi. This would include banking details, credit card numbers and the like.

I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN for security?
