My ipad was stolen this morning. what steps should i take? I am filing a police report; does Verizon have the serial number of the ipad that I purchased through them? I have total moble protection; how do I file a claim?

My ipad was stolen this morning; can Verizon track the location of the device an assist the police department in recovering the device? I am filing a police report does Verizon have the serial number of the device for me to include in the police report? I have Total Mobile Protection and need instructions for filing a claim. Is here any other steps I should take?

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?
You have to make a distinction between the container format (eg, AVI, MKV) and the video/audio format (eg, DIVX). For instance, without additional software, QuickTime can play .avi files with the IndeoVideo codec, but not .avi file with the DivX codec). Further, you have to make the distinction between what can be played using an independent player, eg, QuickTime Player, and what can be played within the presentation software (Keynote or PowerPoint).
You can refer to
<http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/da-dk/powerpoint/item/7acce321-36fb-48d 6-8c76-12cb3a0063ee>
for suggestions. In practice, for presentation clips, I think you're limited to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. I don't know if an additional MPEG-2 QuickTime component is required under Lion, you'll have to check that yourself. So, in the end, it's MPEG-4. Both Keynote and PowerPoint Win/Mac should be able to handle it.
can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files
What's a 'safe application'? And why do you have to buy it from the App Store (yuck!)?
Handbrake, as mentioned by X423424X, is free and works very well. There are probably others, too.
this forum is the best place to learn
Perhaps, but it may not be the place to get answers to this question. Try a PowerPoint Mac user forum, they would have more experience in these x-platform issues. This forum is oriented more towards the hardware side of the MBP platform.

Mac mini is running slow what steps should I take to determine what's slowing it down? New to MAC

My Mac mini is running very slow, I suspect it is a software problem. I'm new to Mac and would appreciate some suggestions on what steps to take.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

I recently received my new iPhone 4 from my carrier since my old one was stolen. I restored my new iPhone from my old iPhones iCloud back up but now all the pictures that were stored in my old phone are blurry in my new phone. Please help!

Luckily, using the "Find My iPhone" app, I was able to scare the thieves into bringing my iPhone back to the place they stole it from (Dave and Busters..on my BIRTHDAY OF ALL DAYS). So now, $169 later (deductible for replacement iPhone), I have both my 1st iPhone and my replacement. On my first iPhone, I have all of my pictures saved and they are very clear, but when I restored my replacement iPhone from my original iPhones iCloud backup, all the pictures that I took in my original iPhone are blurry! I thought about backing up my original iPhone through iTunes and then resetting my replacement iPhone and restoring it from my original iPhones settings but I dont want to lose all of my new pictures I took. I know this sounds confusing (well, it looks confusing, since you cant actually hear me) but I could use all the help I can get!

I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone
No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?
Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

My DVD-ROM drive does not work -- what steps should I take?

MacBook Pro, a couple of years old. Was used by an employee for 2 years, now have it at home and found that the DVD-ROM drive does nothing when I insert a disc.
What I really would like to know is what are the first steps with this. I don't want to send the machine somewhere. Should I just get a cheap external? Could it be software?

If by Does nothing you mean it doesn't even pull in the disk. That sound slike hardware not software.
I imagine it is out of warranty? If it is covered take it to be repaired in a mac store. If not I personally would opt for an external as the cost would be much more appealing. But doesn't hurt to inquire about the cost for having a new internal, or even fixing your current one.
But for my money I would opt for external.

HT3951 I have an iPod touch and recently had to reset it when it stopped working properly. I finally got everything synced back on it, but the ringtones that I *purchased* won't get back on my iPod. how do I get my already purchased ringtones back on the

They show up in my iTunes on my computer, but they're absent from my 'purchases' in the iTunes store. This angers me greatly. I do not want to buy them again, that's ridiculous. How do I get them to show up again on my iPod?? Thanks in advance.
Oh wait nevermind I got it. Carry on.

- Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
- Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

My MBP 13" Mid 2010 indicate "Service Battery", What step should i take apart from visiting apple store?

the Service Battery Message has been appearing after i upgraded to OS x Lion from Snow Leopard. Tried reinstalling the previous OS but could not fix the problem.
Am asking what to do to solve this situation. I can follow the instructions and do the process myself instead of taking it to apple store.

But My Battery Cycle is only clocking 415. When fully charged. i can use it for some hours with power code removed BUT the moment i close the lid for it to sleep, it turns off instead.

My iPod touch was recently stolen, and I don't know how to locate it. What good would filing a police report with the serial number do?

I recently got my iPod touch fourth generation stolen. How do I get it back? I've heard of filing a police report and giving them my serial number, but what good would that do? I don't have any locater apps on it so I don't know what to do. Helpp!!!

If you did not set up Find My iPod on the unit before it was stolen, then there's no way to trace it. Whether filing a police report would accomplish anything I can't say, but it's all you can do. They might get lucky.
If you purchased the iPod with a credit card, check with your card issuer and ask if they offer any sort of loss/theft coverage. Some card programs do, and would replace the iPod for you.
Regards.
