Old Usage Controls versus new Family Base question please.
We currently have Verizons usage controls on both our kids phones at about $5.00 per month. As I understand, the new FamilyBase does the same thing and it is $5.00 to the overall account. If we upgrade to FamilyBase, do we need to cancel the older Usage Controls? Thanks.
Hello mbraun, you pose an excellent question! You will want to remove the usage controls and cancel. After that is completed you will want to add the FamilyBase feature to take advantage of the extra functions. View details on FamilyBase here: http://vz.to/1jYUTsW

Old airport (2003) versus new AEBS
Hi, what is the difference between the old airport versus the new? I have two macs & iphones that will be connected to it? Is it faster and better range? Both macs are intel. Any help is appreciated. I'm working from home and setting up my network and want to get the best connection I can get.
The circa 2003 Airport Extreme has 802.11b/g wireless, two 100 base-T Ethernet ports (dedicated LAN/WAN) and a USB port for printers only. A dialup phone modem and power over ethernet were optional features.
The newest AEBS (introduced today) is a much more capable unit. It offers simultaneous dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz 802.11n and b/g modes so you don't have to compromise n speeds if you're also using b/g equipment. It has three Gigabit LAN ports and one WAN port. The USB port can also be used to connect a hard disk drive. It's also a lot less expensive than the original AEBS.
Before today you were limited to creating an 802.11g network if you wanted to use an iPhone with your home network. This eliminates that concern.
Better range... probably, I only say that since I have an Express "n" that's operating b/g compatible with my older AEBS. I have its transmitter power reduced to the minimum of 10% otherwise it dominates my home, and I want my older AEBS to serve as the primary access point.
The simultaneous dual band is a great move on Apple's part. It remains to be seen if Appletalk is supported - I'd rather doubt it since Apple seems to have turned its back on Appletalk as of late. No phone modem either -
Differences between old JavaFX and the new one: some questions
Hi,
I'm coming back to my JavaFX studies after 2/3 months and I see that some things are different.. Now, I have some questions:
1) I see that javafx.ui was deprecated or rewritten in favor of javafx.ext.swing. Why there are a javafx.application.Frame and a javafx.ext.swing.SwingFrame? Which one should I use?
2) Neither javafx.application.Frame or SwingFrame has the "*undecorated*" attribute that javafx.ui.Frame has. I got this feature only reimplementing createWindow() function like this:
function createWindow(): java.awt.Window {
//this is a trick, because Frame don't has a undecorated attribute.
var f: java.awt.Window = super.createWindow();
(f as javax.swing.JFrame).setUndecorated(true);
return f;
}Should I report this as a bug/RFE in [http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/] ? Where should I report bugs and RFEs to JavaFX?
3) Why frame's opacity don't work in Linux? Is this a Linux restriction or only a "not yet implemented" feature?
My java -version:
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
4) Where is that cool feature that permits me to easily animate in JavaFX doing only x = [1..100] dur 1000? Now, I need to use this more advanced (and more complicated) Timeline object.
Timeline {
keyFrames:Timeline [
KeyFrame{time : 0s values: x => 0.0},
KeyFrame{time : 2s values: x =< 180.0 tween Interpolator.LINEAR}
]//keyFrames
}//Timeline;Sorry for the amount of questions.
TIA,
Bruno E. GrossiThe new ones will be substantially faster than yours because it has 8-cores instead of four, a faster Frontside Bus, and faster RAM speed.
You could use the same RAM, but since the new ones can accommodate a faster RAM module you would cause the machine to run slower by using the slower RAM from your old machine.
You can use the same hard drives since both machines support SATA drives.
On the other hand you could just be happy with what you have! It's probably more than you need. -
Password error from old Airport G3 to new Extreme base
Hello,
Yesterday installed new Airport Extreme card + base to my iMac powerpc - works a treat.
The old powerbook G3 with its original Airport Express card finds the network on the base.
Both computers have OS 10.3.9
But the laptop returns " network password error ' each time I try to connect.
Password is 13chs.
Any ideas please.
Many thanks.
Ken in Bournemouth UK..Are you trying to use WPA2? If so your PowerBook G3 with an original AirPort card will not be able to connect. Only AirPort Extreme cards are able to use WPA2.

my old computer got a virus and so i had to get a new one and install itunes anyway i want to put all my apps and contacts on my new iphone but everytime i go to sync it , it says that it will delete my apps. I linked my computer with itunes but i am still struggling does any one no away around this because i do not want to throw away 40 dollars worth of apps thankyou Mitch.
You can use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you can transfer them from the iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Or you can redownload them:

Old 24" iMac to New 27" iMac Help Please
+*Please some advise and help?+* I have a first generation 24" iMac and have ordered a new 27" Quad Core. I would like to transfer over my information the cleanest way I can to avoid any garbage on the old computer making its way to the new. My plan was to transfer the data and user settings only via Migration Assistant and reinstall all programs from original disks. I am NOT experiencing any problems with any programs on the old machine at this point. Is it then overkill to do the transfer as two separate steps? Will my old Network settings come over? I'm using an Airport Extreme which is also being used for Time Machine. What about my iPhone Sync? Once I transfer data to the new computer, will my iPhone Sync?
Is there any utility program or programs I should run prior to transfer to clean out anything?
Thanks in advance for help
SteveWhen you get the new iMac, I would use it +as is+ for a while, to make sure it is working 100%. If you transfer things immediately, and have some issue, it is more difficult to determine the cause. So go through Setup Assistant without using Migration Assistant, then run Software Update to apply Apple's recent updates, then use the iMac until you are satisfied it is working perfectly.
If you want to use Migration Assistant, you can run it from Applications/Utilities/. On the screen where you select what to migrate, I would only select Users. I would not use it for +Applications, Settings, and Other...+ That should transfer your user data and leave out everything else.
If Migration Assistant successfully transfers your iTunes folder so that iTunes on the new iMac looks like iTunes on the old iMac, your iPhone should sync as before.
Is there any utility program or programs I should run prior to transfer to clean out anything?
You may want to go through the files and folders in your user home folder, if you believe there are a lot of files you no longer need. Just do it with Finder. The Downloads folder would be an obvious place to look for old files you no longer need. -
How to sync and old mac to a new one?
I was told to bring it to an apple store, little difficult.
Any info appreciated.So you want to move the information from the old Mac to the new one? Again please be more specific about exactly what you want to achieve, we can't read your mind.
If you want to migrate the photos, music & documents to the new machine then read and use Setup Assistant tips. -
Family Base vs My Verizon usage
I'm having an issue with texts and calls showing up in Family Base for two days ago that aren't showing in MyVerizon. When I go to family base and click on a certain contact, there are texts and calls that show for 2 days ago, but it's not in the "all activity" part of Family Base or on my MyVerizon usage. They were two days ago?!? Or is the FamilyBase wrong and it wasn't actually the day it says it was? My child swears he didn't talk to this person the day that FamilyBase says he did.
We definitely want you to have as much control over your daughter's phone as you need, Barbmark1017. What model phone does she have? What has been going on with her usage? Are you seeing calls and text in My Verizon http://bit.ly/xB4iTc under her line during the restricted times?

Can I restrict ALL data usage on a smartphone with family base
Can I restrict all data usage through Family Base or will it still be accessible through hotspots?
Keeganbeaty,
Look no further help is here! Being able to manage your data usage is definitely important.
Are you trying to limit the data usage on a certain line? if so, with Family base https://my.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/SafeguardProductDetails.action?productName=familybase&intcmp=SearchBanner:family base product:Top you can set a data limit and place a hard stop once that limit has be reached. You can also turn cellular data on the phone. What phone do you have so I can provide the steps? May I ask the reason you're looking to turn off data on the line? This is for the line you use or for someone else on the account?

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance -
Hi there,
this is a Family Sharing question. After we upgraded to family sharing, and I now have a new apple id, I find that all the documents on my iPad in pages, are only accessible if i sign in with the original apple id- now my husband's ( he is the primary account holder). Is there an easy way to migrate these documents to my iCloud account, or do i need to email them to myself . There are a couple of hundred documents.
Many thanks in advance.Thankyou for the reply.
No. I have tried twice. When I turn off pages in the iCloud settings while logged into his account, then my documents in pages just are gone. They return when I turn it back on.
Is there another way I can save them to the device? -

I think you may find helpful information here:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
