Macbook plane question (plz plz read and reply if u know the answer)

I'm planning on buying a new macbook in hong kong and taking it back to china because its cheaper in hong kong, but the macbook isn't for me so i want to take it back to china by plane and i was wondering if i have to open the macbook box and boot it up to take it on the plane with me.

Hi g5g4g3,
While I can't speak for China process & procedure, I can speak to my own experiences leaving Hong Kong. I was over there about 14-months ago on business and did a little "shopping" for various electronics. Mind you I had my personal machine and maybe 10 other "gadgets" and about a dozen video games/movies.
Fast forward 2 hours and I finally got through security. They checked everything, inside and out and made me open every box and turn on/off every gadget. My advice, if you don't travel between the two places regularly is to call and confirm specific import/export regulations. As a foreigner, maybe I was a bigger target but they left no stone unturned with my carry-on items. No way, would I have made it through with a sealed box.

  • Please can someone help, I have a question in my coursework that I don't know the answer to! Explain how PostScript fits into the design process?

    Please can someone help, I have a question in my coursework that I don't know the answer to! Explain how PostScript fits into the design process?

    The simple answer is that today PostScript really doesn't fit at all into the Graphic Design process, at least in terms of what the graphic designer needs to know.
    Historically, though, the PostScript imaging model, first introduced circa 1984 provided the basis for the initial publishing software including PageMaker, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and even Ventura Publisher. This imaging model included support for continuously scalable text, vector, and raster imagery as well as the concepts of a current transformation matrix that allowed arbitrary scaling, rotation, etc. and multiple color spaces (grayscale, RGB, CMYK, spot, device independent, and color-managed).
    The PostScript imaging model was effectively replaced by the PDF imaging model, a significant superset of the PostScript imaging model, by the time Illustrator 9 and InDesign 2 were released in terms of support of ICC color management, transparency, etc.
    The fact is that a good graphic designed doesn't need to know anything about PostScript or PDF per sé, but rather about the basics of color (such as issues associated with color gamut and what how that affects display and printing), use of text versus vector versus raster images and why one should keep content at the highest level of abstraction all the way to the rendering (or screen) or RIP process for printing. Some knowledge of typography also helps.

  • My mother's iCloud account is blocked and she doesn't know the answer to the security question.

    My mother's iCloud is totally blocked. She can't access her e-mal (me.com), and that makes impossible to reset the password. She also doesn't remember the awnser to the security question. So, what do I do?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contactAppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • HT201363 why am i been asked a security question that i never set up. i dont know the answer to them?

    why am i been ask for security questions that i didnt set up

    You are on the wrong phone support. You need to contact the AST.
    Check the AppleCare number for your country here:

    Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

  • HT201363 I don't remember having security question when I opened my account years ago.  Now I need to know the answers.  How do I get them changed?

    I don't remember having security questions years ago now they are asking and I don't know the answers.  How do I reset them?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    Hand it over to the police if you cannot get a refund.
    You will never be able to use it, it's Activation Lock you're facing and cannot be bypassed without the original Apple ID & password.

  • I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos. The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages).....  Do the following have free copyright

    I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos.
    The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages).....
    Do the following have free copyright to publish on facebook and U Tube?
    1.Garage band sounds?
    2.Slide show...Sample music and Theme music?
    3.iMovie...iMovie sounds and iLife sounds ie.Medal Ceremony and Memorial etc?
    I note one can publish to shared net places directly from iMovie so one assumes these are copyright free for non-profit making and non-comercial use.
    It is impossible to contact apple direct.No email address.We put our selves at risk without this knowledge and like applemac, facebook will not communicate direct.Will applemac please take responsibility for copyright/the above that they are all too willing to sell to us but not support us with that knowledge.
    I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.2 (2009 bought in 2010)

    Thank you Klaus1.The large font, I copied and pasted from my mail box.I'm visually impaired...not to a huge degree but it helps to use the large font.I believe you are right about the copyright on the imac stuff but if facebook decide otherwise, you have to reply electronically to their challenge.If you can't provide a reference directly from the copyright owner then they remove the video.I believe this is a programmed response and no human is involved which now makes it impossible for me to get my video uploading restored.They detect added soundtrack automatically and then challenge.There are many others in the same boat and facebook will not communicate.They have various discussion sites on which I have left messages including Mark Zuckerbergs own facebook but I don't think anyone from facebook ever reads them.I intend to start a second facebook which I can use purely to get my videos uploaded as a lot of my friends enjoy them BUT don't want fall foul of their programming again.If only iMac would put something on the net to this effect.I think it is so unfair that with modern technology it is impossible to contact these large conglomerates personally and receive an email response.I tried emailing [email protected] but I got a failure notice.If you have any ideas on how to get verification from apple direct, I would be very grateful.Thank You.

  • My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address

    An emergency question to Apple support. My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address of its network card. I have a receipt with the serial number of my MacBook. Can you assist?
    My serial: W8***66D
    Thank you
    p.s Any ideas how I can find it?

    Report the theft to your local authorities.
    Apple has no means of tracking thefts, as thieves themselves may claim the machine is theres just by looking up the information on the computer, and unless you registered the machine, it is really their word against yours, unless you also have receipt or other information that they can track to your receipt against your serial number.
    Your homeowners insurance may be able to recoup the cost.
    In the future, consider getting Lapcop, or Lojack for notebooks.
    Good luck!

  • I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email

    I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email.  Is there another way to change or get the answers for the security questions?

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
