Old discussion, but still bothersome

I am quite frustrated with this data "over-usage" that VerizonWireless keeps reporting to us. I have two laptops and one Nook. I only check email and surf a little on either of the laptop and haven't downloaded a book to the Nook in ages....but yet, monthly, I am over the 5 GB limit. I also shut down the MIFI every night and turn it back on in the morning....so, it is off about 10 hours every day. I get it that there are Microsoft and software updates, etc that will utilize data usage.
I have read the numerous complaints, posts and replies here in the community forum for the past year.....I have seen a Verizon representative reply that the "MIFI is for intermittent use, and should not be considered an alternative to DSL or 24/7 internet access". Then what is the alternative? What other options do we have in the rural areas?  What is being done to bring the rural areas up to get current with technology? Watch a movie? Really? Download songs? Backup or Download from a Cloud? Forget it.....Any process that requires uploads and downloads will not be enjoyed in this family....it's too expensive.All the advertisements about anything that is "fun" for the internet, would require so much data usage that we would be over 5 GB per month....easily.

  • I want to get rid of everything in itunes , music, movies etc and start afresh. Ive deleted all old libraries but still there is stuff in iTunes. Please help me start afresh?

    i want to get rid of everything in itunes , music, movies etc and start afresh. Ive deleted all old libraries but still there is stuff in iTunes. Please help me start afresh?

    Please do not delete any files from the HDD without having a current backup.
    I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "deleted all old libraries." Can you explain that?
    If all you are wanting to do is empty the iTunes library of all music, video playlists, etc. the easiest way is to quit iTunes and, in the Finder, go to ~/Music/iTunes and simply move the .itdb, .itl and .xml files to the trash. Launch iTunes again and the library will be empty.
    You should be prompted to add content, so you can let iTunes scan the HDD if you like.

  • I've searched and read 4gb vs 8gb discussions, but still need help.

    Hi again,
    I've done my due dilligance by searching and reading all discussions related to this matter- but I still have a question.
    I've decided on the 13" Air, 15, 256gb.  My last decision is the ever so debated 4gb vs 8gb.
    From ALL of the discussions I've read (here and elsewhere online) 4gb seems to be enough for the average person, and some have even tested the capacity by opening 16 applications and programs.  Most of the responders are also saying 4gb is enough "if you want to keep the computer 2-3 years".  Well- what if I'd like mine to last 5-7 years?  (I'm working on a 2006 dying MacBook Pro currently with 2gb memory and a 100gb harddrive). 
    This is a HUGE purchase for me, as I do not have money to spend often on replacing big ticket items.  I'd like to NOT spend the extra $136 unless I need to, to make this machine last longer than 3 years. 
    Thank you!  This community has been a great help to me today

    Since cost seems to be an issue for you, between the 128 and the 256,....go with the 128 and the 8 GIG of memory,.....such as you have detailed, it would be a better choice given what you have well explained what you want out of you computer. Just pack around a super slim HD 500GB drive in the laptop bag with your air,..they’re only 7mm thick HD, much thinner than the AIR.
    I have an 13” I5 128 gig, and have nearly ever APP imaginable installed, and still have 82 Gig of wiggle room for editing, and other space needed for work.
    IF ASKED which is the better upgrade choice for the money,….256 upgrade, or the 8GIG of memory, most here will agree that it’s the 8gig of memory.
    HD space is extremely cheap (except inside the AIR, its SSD). If you don’t mind packing around a tiny HD, 65$ will get you 1TB, or 500GB in a superslim HD

  • Unable to sync or backup my iPad2 with the new iTunes. I keep getting the error ""iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.". I've deleted all the old backups but still get this.

    I'm totally frustrated by iTunes and don't know how to solve my problem. Like a lot of people on here I'm not able to sync or back up my iPad2 with my iTunes (version 10.4.1.10). I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. My iTunes worked just fine until the 10.4.xx updates came out and since June I've not been able to back up or sync the iPad2.
    When I connect and try to sync I get the error message, “iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.”
    I've deleted all the old backups so there are none on my system. I've deleted iTunes and re-installed the 64bit version several times but it has not made any difference. I've read and followed several suggestions on these boards about how to remove and reinstall everything but none have worked yet. I'm stumped here.

    I had the exact same thing with my shuffle - same error message saying that it was corrupt so I restored it (wiping everything in the process) and the same message came up as soon as it reloaded. Thank god I didn't try it with my iPod or iPhone first. So many issues with this new version of iTunes!!!!!!!!

  • SSD question ... searched the several dozen discussions but still confused

    Samsung SSDs ... 840 EVO vs 840 Pro
    EVO has newer TLC NAND which some many say will last 10 year vs 60 years for MLC of Pro.
    EVO has 3 year warranty instead of 5 year for Pro.
    Is Pro really worth the price above EVO?
    Part of the advertising for EVO is RAPID which shares system RAM, but I have been reading other posts about Mavericks managing RAM different, so that could be a bug.

    This is what I have found as I tracked comments on SSDs:
    I recommend purchasing SSDs from Crucial.com or OWC (macsales.com).  Their products are known to work well in Macs.  The Samsung Pro series has also received positive reviews.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5941668?tstart=30
    People have reported problems using the the Samsung EVO series, the Toshiba Q Series and the Kingston SSDNow V300 SSDs.

  • This Question is at least 2.5 years old.  But still an issue.  I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7.  Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

    iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
    If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

  • 0x80992013 cannot access itunes store I have tried all of the suggested things on previous discussions but still not working. Any suggestions?

    Have you left the iPod to charge for a couple of hours and then tried resetting it again? It can take up to at least 30 minutes of charging before an iPod with a dead battery shows any signs of life.  By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?

    <Edited By Host>

    You can try the following on your friends phone:
    1.  Remove the contact card
    2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
    5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.
    11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.

  • Old Problem but still no avail

    hello..I'm trying on a program which encrypt some random bytes with secret key and then decrypt with a public key using RSA. However I encounter a problem is that it raises this error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.security.InvalidKeyException: Can only encrypt w
    ith an RSAPublicKey.
    at javax.crypto.Cipher.init(DashoA6275)
    So how can I encrypt some file using private key??
    (THis scenario is like SSL.)
    IF ultimately I can't do that, how can I implement the SSL operation??? I dun want to use other provider..
    pls enlighten..thanks in advance

    Sign a message means :
    - get an hashcode of the message you sign
    - encrypt this hashcode with the private key
    Verify signature means :
    - decrypt the signature with the public key
    - get an hashcode of the message you sign
    - compare the hashcode with the result of the decryption
    with RSA key pairs you can crypt and decrypt with both public and private key.
    You can use the private key to crypt, but it's very long.
    You can exchange a session key in order to use a symetric algorithm to secure some data (like SSL protocal).
    An ASN1 encoding of an hascode is quit similar to a symetric key bytes :
    the RSA encryption will not be longer.

  • I have searched but still have unanswered questions?

    First, I would like to comment on what a great resource this forum is.  Over the past several weeks, I have learned how to import 8mm tape (using an old Sony Handycam) into Imovie 11, edit, show the full frame, etc.  I purchased Idvd on the internet, shared the Imovie project to Idvd and burned dvd's.  I have done much reading of old threads but still have a few questions.
    There were threads discussing the quality of 8mm vids regarding the interlacing of the lines.  Apparently, Imovie dropped every other line.   Is this still a concern with Imovie 11?
    If dropping of every other line is still an issue, is there a way to prevent or work around?
    Now that I have shared the project to Idvd, can I delete the project from Imovie and then save it out of Idvd?  My intent would be to save to a separate drive.
    Is there a specific method for saving out of Idvd?

    After restoring the iPod to factory settings did you restore your data/content from a backup or did you set the iPod up as new?
    If you set the iPod up as a new iPod then your issue is most likely hardware related. If you are under warranty you can contact AppleCare or make a Genius Bar appointment to have the iPod replaced or repaired.
    If you restored your data/content from a backup then there is still a chance that your issue could be software related because the backup contains bits and pieces of the old software. Try restoring the iPod and setting it up as new.
    I hope this helps!

    What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
    Are  you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
    How much free space is actually on the device?
    If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    Q:-
    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

    I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address?  I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

    To change it, you have delete the existing account.  However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
