Question to all: Where do you purchase your images???

Guys/Gals,
Where do you purchase your images when needed? Both photos and vector Illustrations.
I buy from istockphoto.com and bigstockphotos.com, but is there anything better according to your experience?
I am currently buying a lot of illustrations (vector) - cartoonlike, at about $15 each... which do you buy from and which is the best?Considering the selection and prices.
I always thought that free image sites didn't have a good selection, am I wrong?
The question is brough up, everybody that reads this should answer and give their point of view, I am curious to see (and I am sure you are too).

iStock is your best choice for selection and price, but not always quality or even accuracy. iStock is stocked by photographers and artists trying to make extra money. Their offerings are always more diverse than what you'd find on a pro stock photo site. Photographers left to produce imagery on their own will pursue their interests and what they're good at, and that's why you'll find a lot of great stuff on iStock you won't find anywhere else. Sites like photos.com don't compare with this, but may have better visual quality. But, again, the number of "concepts" are limited. If you move above sites like iStock and photos.com then be prepared to dish out big money.
iStock can be a godsend, but be careful. I often find many photographers will upsize their images at the cost of a loss of quality. I also find photographers who try to make their images better by touching them up with Photoshop, but many of them should just stick with staying behind the camera. I see images where areas were obviously cloned sloppily. Just make sure when selecting an image to zoom in and look at the quality and to check for the sloppy fixes.
And be very careful when searching for something which you are not knowledgeable on. One time I was searching for Japanese imagery and found a photo labeled "Geisha". This "geisha" was a western girl in the proper make-up and hair... but she was wearing a Chinese dress! You do NOT want to embarrass your clients with something like that.
Bottom line IMO, iStock is the way to go.

Where do you get your images?

I have accounts with several different stock image online
companies. But things are getting very expensive.
I was wondering if there was a website that offers free
images. I'm also curious, where do you get your images?
I can grab my digital camera, take a few pictures and edit
with photoshop but thats not always the case.
When you design a web page, where do you get your images?
Thaks for any suggestions.

Patty, I've used stock.xchg (sxc.hu) before and found some

images there. Another one to try is Morgue File -

Where do you get your mus

Well basically the title says it all: Where do you get your music? MSN, Napster? Where? Could you please help me because I am in need of finding a new place to get music.

I use rhapsody to-go service. I tried napster but did not like the layout. Rhapsody is pretty good ...you can try it for 2 weeks free.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Zen Nano Plus Guys: Where Do You Get Your Mus

I get mine off Limewire and I was basically told that it wouldn't work AFTER I purchased my brand new Nano Plus by the customer support guy. Where do you get your files from?

I just got my Nano yesterday.. 4/29
This is what I do:
.Download the songs on Limewire
2.Under the Library Tab on Limewire there is a button called "Explore". click on that.
3. All of the songs that you have downloaded should show up when the folder pops up
4. Open the Windows Media Player (if you dont have it u should get it) and go to the tab that says "Sync"
5. Drag the files one-by-one onto "Items to Synchronize" on the Windows Media Player
6. Once you are done, press "Start Sync" at the top.. it should work
Now.. the only problem Im having is how to listen to all of my files. Ive downloaded 65 songs on here and its only playing 32 of them.

Where Did You Get Your MacBook?

For those that have a MacBook, where did you purchase it from? Even with the student discount, purchasing from the Apple store doesn't provide any savings because of the taxes (~$84.00 in NY). I know Amazon.com sells it, but it's pre-order.

No need to get defensive. I wasn't saying that people shouldn't use the Apple Store. I was saying that unless Apple recognises your problems as problems, they will not do anything for you. That is to say, issues such as heat, whine and other common issues people worry about here on this forum will not be addressed by the Apple Store geniuses because they don't consider these problems out of specifications. This also means that if you have these issues and decide you can't live with them,you most probably will not be able to return a macbook of MBP to them without a restocking fee.
Believe me, I was amazed that they were so unwilling to consider not charging me a restocking fee. I was very calm, told them about the issues (whine, heat, loose battery, warped lid) and told them that over the past 15 years as an Apple user I have never felt disappointed with an Apple product except for this one. I told them that I have purchased items for tens of thousands of dollars from Apple over the years and asked them if they would at least consider charging me just half the restocking fee given that these are problems SO MANY people are having. There are OBVIOUSLY issues with the MBPs. The guy (who claimed to be the 'lead' rep there) refused and told me, in the same breath, how much they 'love' my business, pointing me in the direction of the checkout so I could line up to get refund, minus the $200 fee for beta testing. How insulting and disingenuous is that!
There are stores that will accept your claim that an item is defective. Since Apple is the mothership they decide what is within spec while some other stores just trust you when you say your notebook has excessive heat problems or whines and therefore needs to be returned. Given the many problems reported, I would recommend anybody to buy from a store with a more generous and no hassle return policy. Getting an exchange will not help if all units have the same problems....

Where do you buy your apps?

Where do you buy your apps for the iphone? Right on the phone? Can you buy them online if you have an itunes gift card?

There are two ways of downloading apps on the iPhone, you can either download them directly from the iPhone using the App Store app, or from iTunes on the computer (Mac or PC), an iTunes gift card can be used on either
iPhone: Open the App Store app (should be an app with a blue icon on the first page if apps, unless you moved it elsewhere), tap on "Featured" on the bottom black bar, then scroll all the way down, you should then see two options, Redeem and Apple ID: <your Apple ID>, tap on Redeem, type in your iTunes gift card code, then tap Redeem, once the card is redeemed, you can then start searching for apps within the App Store app
iTunes (Mac or PC): Open iTunes and connect the iPhone (let it complete sync), click on iTunes Store on the left pane, then in the Quick Links pane, click Redeem, type in your iTunes gift card code, then click Redeem, once the card is redeemed, in the iTunes STORE pane to the left, click App Store, then you should get similar options to the App Store on the iPhone, download the apps from there and sync them to the iPhone

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
