Mother-in-Law's iMacDVD's screen gets all wavy......?

I usually use her computer to check my e-mail whenever I visiting the in-laws. Last time I was over there, I noticed the screen was wavy (for want of a better word). It's only now and then but is noticable and annoying. Restarting it might have an affect but I couldn't really tell as it's only intermitent. What do you think this might be?
Thanks.

Is there anything near the computer that could be causing this? Another electrical device, breaker box, something like that? I know of someone who uses a small fan on their desk and when it's on, the computer screen shakes like you wouldn't believe. . .I don't know how she stands it. So I wonder if something like that is going on.

They have Discover your iPad workshops at the Apple Store. Is there one near her?

Since installing the latest update my mother-in-law gets Error Code VM502 when sending to only 6 recipients. This didn't happen before the update.

The error came from your providers server. You need to ask them why they are setting limits.
Thunderbird does not have any limits.

Hello AllenLJohnson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you have an iPad which is locked by an Apple ID. This is a security feature called Activation Lock, of which you can learn about in the article linked to below.

Have a good one,

Help, mother in-laws mini has multiple problems

My mother in-laws mini has the following problems:
(1) Disk first aid will not repair permissions
(2) Has had screen freezes
(3) Slow safari and spinning wheel of death
(4) She called Apple Care and they had her try to boot up the computer from the system disk that came with the computer but that produced an error so they recommended she back up important files and re-installing Tiger.
Is there any thing else I should try before going to step 4?
Thank you
Ron

I agree with Jeremy... The best thing would be to just reinstall Tiger. Have you done a software update?
If you are near an apple store I would take it to the genius bar so they could better diagnose the problem for you.
Usually they have no idea what they are talking about but sometimes you'll get a real "genius".
Goodluck!

My bill, and my 80 year old mother-in-law......

As detailed in the email below, My mother in law went to a local (Brea, Ca) Verizon store to join the world of smartphones. What transpired next was a colossal misadventure that has yet to be fixed by either the local Verizon Store Manager or Verizon
A couple of weeks ago I stopped by your store to relate an incident that
occurred between a member of your staff and my nearly 80 year-old mother in
law.
My mother-in law was in the market for a smartphone. We had done extensive
research together online and had made some decisions about which way to go.
That matter seemed dormant until I received a phone call one evening from
your store. A sales person rather abruptly told me my mother-in-law was in
your store looking to make a purchase of a smartphone. This purchase
however required her making changes to the account. I did not fully
understand what I was being asked, but I knew she had wanted to make this
move to a smartphone so I played along with your staff's recommendations.
Your sales person deemed it necessary to change our plan to a "share
everything" plan with some 8GB of data. This seemed high, but I was told by
your sales person that with this change "it included" a "jet pack". He
further explained that with the 50$ rebate the total cost of the device was
only 20$. That sounded like fun so I agreed. I inquired as to what phone
she had settled on, and the sales person responded,"I'm talking her in to
the Lucid2." My mother-in-law must have physically reacted to this
characterization because he quickly changes his vocabulary to "I'm advising
her to look at the Luicd2"
At no time did your sales person mention either the 20$ *monthly
charge*for the jet pack, no did he mention the 35$ charge for setting
up the new
jet pack. Had he provided full disclosure at the time of the phone call the
answer would have been "no".
We have been with Verizon for a *long time*. We have always been treated
with respect, and afforded a level of service that allows us to trust you
with (pardon the pun) our friends and family. My parents are now on
Verizon, as are all of my other family members. And we hope to continue
with Verizon for years to come.
When I spoke with you a couple of weeks ago I asked you to undo the changes
made by your staff member, and to date it looks as though you are holding
up your end of the bargain. Our newest bill has now arrived, and I invite
you to look it over to fix the final detail of this disastrous experience.
Specifically the 170$ cancellation fee for the ill-fated jet pack.
My wife and daughter are still holding out for this matter to clear up
before we try to get them a smartphone, when they do upgrade we will stop
by and seek you out.
Respectfully,
Patrick
----end of email----
We are now headed to our 4th month in dealing with this matter. Really? 4 months? You guys are better than this. The initial boondoggle took place on May 9, 2013. My visit took place on or about on June 20, 2013. And here are headed toward Sept with little resolved. Except the fact that we now know, the representative needs a little help fulfilling his promises. My bill is up to date with the exception of the $170.00 cancellation fee that I was told would be "taken care of". But now it appears that (maybe) the manager is encouraging his staff to pray on 80 year old grandmothers and sign them up for stuff they have no hope of understanding, and hoping we'll just shut up, pay up and go away. Or maybe he's hoping Big Brother will step in so he doesn't have to be the bad guy toward his staff.
So let's go Verizon, I got better things to than babysit your Managers and their promises.

I purchased an IPad Mini for my mother-in-law using my Apple ID. I need to open an ID for her and take mine off the Mini. How would I do this?

I purchased an IPad Mini for my mother-in-law. I used my Apple account since she didn't have one. I need to open an account for her and change the account on the IPad Mini from mine to hers. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this done? Thanks.

I am trying to sync my mother-in-laws iPad to my computer. It was originally synced to my computer over 1 year ago. I want to update itunes without taking anything off her iPad. How do I accomplish this task?

I am trying to sync my mother-in-law's iPad with my computer. It has been over 1 year since it was synced and I need to update her itunes software. However, I don't want to erase the apps and photos she has put on her iPad over the last year. How do I accomplish this?

My mother in law is wanting to make the switch. Help please?

Gang,
My mother in law is looking to make the switch to Mac. She will be utilizing her Mac to create a web page to include lots of content, pictures, video, voice recordings, etc.
One of the things she wants to puchase is Adobe Creative Suites, I think the premium package. The system requirements are as follows:
Mac OS
Multicore Intel® processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or v10.6; Mac OS X v10.6 required for Adobe Flash Builder™ 4.5 Premium Edition and Flash Builder integration with Flash Catalyst® and Flash Professional; Mac OS X v10.6.3 required for GPU-accelerated performance in Adobe Premiere Pro
2GB of RAM (4GB or more recommended)
26.3GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1280x900 display (1280x1024 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM
Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance in Adobe Premiere Pro
Some GPU-accelerated features in Adobe Photoshop require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0
7200 RPM hard drive for editing compressed video formats; RAID 0 for uncompressed
Core Audio–compatible sound card
DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; external Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
Java Runtime Environment 1.6
Eclipse 3.6.1 Cocoa version required for plug-in installation
QuickTime 9 software required for QuickTime and multimedia features
Adobe Flash Player 10 software required to export SWF files and to play back DVD projects exported as SWF files
Broadband Internet connection required for online services and to validate Subscription Edition (if applicable) on an ongoing basis*
Visit the NVIDIA website for system requirements and compatibility. The list of graphics cards that are compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 is updated on a regular basis.
Can anyone recommend which machine and which upgrades would be needed to make sure this program would run ok?
She definitely wants an iMac. My household runs Macs but we aren't tech savy enough to know what all of the above requirements mean. Obviously there aren't a lot of customization options when purchasing a Mac so I'm not sure if it will require aftermarket type stuff.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Chad

iMacs are great machines. The Adobe CS suite will work on any new or older iMac. iMacs have great video cards as well. I would suggest that once you buy the iMac, add more memory. Buying it directly from Apple is quite expensive but places like Other World Computing sell excellent memory at great prices. I don't work for them, but I am a long time customer. I love my iMac. The screen is just fabulous.

The mother-in-law bug

Hi to all. This is my first, and I hope last, topic on this forum.
iPhone is a wonderful piece of art, and it works very well.
There's only one flaw, that I can't understand. Everytime my mother-in-law calls me, my iPhone freezes: on the screen compares the Apple logo, but nothing happens. At the beginning, I thought it was only a reboot, but the logo didn't go away even after many minutes. It freezes and it can't work. The only way to make it work again is to turn it off and then reboot the phone. And it happens everytime my mother-in-law calls.
I don't know what is the issue. Maybe it's the phone, a strange OsX bug, or maybe it's my mother-in-law with some paranormal powers. I don't know, I don't really know. But it happens anytime.
Anyone having the same problems?

Does your MIL work for Microsoft?
Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If this doesn't work, try a Restore... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

Why do two devices on the same plan both ring when someone is trying to facetime me? My mother in law got my father on his iPad when i didnt answer fast enough!

My Mother-in- law tried to Facetime me last night so she could see my daughter. My phone rang for FT but I didn't get to it in time. I thought she hung up. Turns out my fathers ipad rang across town and he answered it. we are on the same plan and both use the same iTunes accnt.

Are you also using the same Apple ID for FaceTime, as listed under Settings > FaceTime?
If so, don't. While it's perfectly okay to share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, you shouldn't share an Apple ID with another person for the following:
iCloud
FaceTime
Messages
Use a unique personal Apple ID. Whoever is the actual owner of the current Apple ID needs to keep using that. The other person needs to make their own Apple ID, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime & Messages. Maybe even Game Center to be on the safe side.

IPad/appleid setup in advance for mother-in-law: possible?

We live 1300 miles from my mother-in-law. We won't be traveling there until January. I'll be giving her my iPad2. I'd like to go ahead and set it up for her, complete with appleid, apps, etc. This morning, I fetched her a new gmail account and set it up, complete with a contacts list for friends and relatives, and appropriate settings for a simple enough appearance. However, on the iPad, she'll use either the gmail app or the native mail app.
What I'd like to do is, go ahead and set up the iPad and have it ready to hand it over with just a bit of "training". It's easy enough to use, as you all know. The biggest training will be to get her to watch the battery level and keep the power up to snuff.
She'll need just email, *maybe* Safari, TV Guide, *maybe* weather, and *maybe* a couple other apps (which, if she doesn't want them, I'll hide in a folder...)
85-year-old lady, short on iPad interests, just a primitive appliance.
Think I can set it up from here, with an appleid equivalent to the gmail account (which I can also access from here)?

Yeah, I think you can. Especially if you just hand over the g-mail account info to her so she can access the app store and update whatever you put on there.
You'll need to look into setting her up the apple ID without a credit card attached. (first try downloading a free app, then follow the prompts from there. ANd make sure yours is signed out before you do this)
You can always give her an iTunes card for any apps or content.
If I was doing it, I would also give her a list of the access codes, maybe as well as a short 'iPad for Dummies'.....step by step how to do this, how to do that. etc. Of course you know your MIL better than we, whether or not she'd be receptive or offended to a how to guide.

I have ARD 2.2 and I can control my mother-in-laws computer

I have ARD 2.2 and I can control my mother-in-laws computer over the internet without any problems, I can do any of the task on ARD that can be done. But on my moms computer I can only observe and control her computer with mine. The settings are exactly the same in both computers sharing settings. All the settings in Apple Remote Desktop are set so I can do all the task on ARD. I have all the users name and passwords. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

the only thing I have
found that is different on the computers is my moms
computer is connected with PPPoe and my
mother-in-laws computer is connected with DHCP.
Should that matter?
But you wrote, "And my mother-in-law and my mother have the same ISP."
That is definitely something to look into, but if your Mom's computer is connected different, there may also be different ports blocked by the ISP. However, I'd find out what her ARD client version number is first. If your ARD admin can't see that, there are other ways, though it should be able to show you that.
Quick way is to go to /System/Library/StartupItems/RemoteDesktopAgent/ and do a Get Info on the file RemoteDesktopAgent in that folder. If the creation date is 06 or later, it's ARD 3.x, 2005 or earlier, it's earlier.
I should note, if it's an older Mac, it may have a Remote Desktop client earlier than 2.x, like 1.2.4, and you'd have to upgrade that to 2.2 in order to do all the functions on it with your 2.2 Admin program.

How to get One Selection Screen for all queries?

Hi Experts,
I have three queries having selection screens. All the selection screen have the same variables, but the reports are different.
I have created a workbook having these three queries. Each time when the workbook opens, the three selection screen pops up one after the another. Same values are entered in all the selection screens.
Now the user wants only one selection screen for all the three reports. Is it possible? I tried but I do not see any way.
I think there should be some way of getting it done.
Waiting for your inputs,
With kind regards,
Shreeem

Hi
If a workbook contains multiple queries that use the same variable, you are prompted to enter the variable values again for each query. To avoid this, set the Display Duplicate Variables Only Once flag.
Goto Workbook Settings>Under Variables Tab>select Display Duplicate Variables only Once
