Please help! I have questions before I buy.
My mother asked me to purchase an IPad for my father for her for Christmas. I'm hoping to buy it tomorrow to get a deal but I'm wondering if he needs to be in the AT&T network to be able to purchase the IPad applications? I know that you can do it on a monthly basis, but he doesn't download music and has 2 PC's and a laptop, so this is really just a toy for him. I do want him to be able to have the apps, so I'm wondering if I should get the phone with the network capability...

Hi and welcome to the forums
No, your iPad does not have to be on the AT&T network to purchase iPad application. You can purchase them through iTunes on the computer or via wifi through the App Store on the iPad. You can buy the wifi version if your is near wifi network most of the time or doesn't need 3G internet. If your dad travels a lot and needs mobile internet then get the iPad Wifi + 3G.
If your father uses light emailing, light surfing, checking video and basic word documents and occasionally gaming, the iPad is a perfect option. If he needs heavy email, surfing the web, video editing, heavy documents writing then the iPad is not suitable. With iOS 4.2.1 recently release the iPad brings major features as such printing, folders, multitasking. Why don;t you want your dad to have apps? Apps are wonderful!
Regards
Andy

Questions before I buy Time Capsule
Hi All
I hope you can please help with my questions before I go and buy a time capsule. I currently have a 5 month old 2.4ghz mbp and a PC running Vista. The PC is connected via ethernet to a billion 7402GL and the mbp connects via wireless. I was going to buy an external hard drive to store data and I thought I might try the time capsule as it will be networked.
I am not 100% sure I know how time capsule works so any info would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to work out the setup in my head I have had a read through these forums but I thought I would ask specific questions in relation to my setup.
When I connect the time capsule to the billion can I still use the billion for wireless or do I have to use the time capsule? Also do I connect the TC to the Billion using ethernet or wireless? I want the mbp to access the data on the TC via wireless and the pc via ethernet. I will be getting an imac once I sell my pc so that will also need to connect to TC. I will mainly use the TC for storing data but I might start using time machine as well. Is it possible for a ps3 to access TC?
I will be attaching a printer to it so I would want to be able to print from any computer that connects to the network.
What would be the best setup? Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!If you already have a working wired/wireless network, and a spare ethernet port on your router, just connect the TC to the router with an ethernet cable. Turn off the TC's wireless, and it'll work fine.
No need to change any of your connections, you can carry on using your existing router.
Printing will work fine from any computer connected to your router (or to the TC, if you wish), but the printer driver needs to be installed on each computer, and the printer has to be one that works with the TC.
I don't think that there's a way of using the TC as a server with a PS3. The PS3 needs to see a DLNA server - I don't think that there's any way to get this running directly on a TC.
You can get a Mac to run as a DLNA server (application called "MediaLink"), and it might be possible to get the Mac to link to the TC. This way, you could access the TC from the PS3, but the Mac would have to be switched on for it to work. -

[email protected]Fixed. /Users/x/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AirKeysInputManager.bundle got corrupted by a badly installed safari extension. Deleting this, then reinstalling adobe air did the trick. I wasn't thorough enough on my first try, it was tricky to find everything associated. I had to look for files in the console log then search for them. Spotlight was missing some deep files, EasyFind worked better for me.

I have the version of iPhoto that comes with my OS when I purchased my MacBook, but now I can't open it, because it says this, "You can’t open the application “iPhoto” because it may be damaged or incomplete. Please help I have tons of family photos.
1 - the iPhoto application is an application and does not hole your photos - your photos are in the iPhoto library an dour normal daily backup will back them up so your photos are safe
2 - what exactly does the error message say? You probably need to reinstall the iPhoto application form the original source
3 - note that no version of iPhoto comes with any OS - iPhoto comes with all new Macs but not with any OS and most OS versions can run many different versions of iPhoto
