Questions before signing up...

Hello all!
I just made the inevitable switch! After possibly 2 dozen PC laptops and desktops have crashed and burned over a decade, I've finally switched over to the light side and got a MacBook Pro! Now my iPhone and iPad have found their REAL Mom - no more foster homes haha lol. So I'll be moving away from developing for PC based projects and focusing more on iPad apps.
I have been doing some research on the developer registration process and I'd like to register under my business name. Can someone who has gone through the process "recently" tell me how it went? I want to do it as a DBA, I have a nationally registered trademark in my name and if needed I can get a business license and/or resell license. I have been reading horror stories about people waiting months for approval which seems obscene. Can anyone confirm?
Also has anyone here developed "great" apps when coming over from other programming languages? Personally my strengths are in ASP, PHP, Javascript, and some AJAX. So I wonder how long it took some of you with similar programming backgrounds to grasp.
Thanks

Everyone likes to post horror stories. I always suspect they aren't providing all the information. I signed up under my business name. I faxed my current business license and my tradename registration. From my old e-mails it seems that it took me three days to get approved.

I developed "an" app. It isn't very great. I suggest in addition to the iPhone program, sign up for the free Safari developer program. Javascript is considered a first-class language on iOS. When you realize just what Apple is doing with it vis-à-vis HTML5 and DashCode, you'll see why. Download some of the developer videos and the WWDC2010 videos and watch those first.

  • TWO Questions Before Signing Up - Surface Pro 3 + license related

    I currently have CS6 and tested it on my Surface Pro 3 and the UI is so TINY its nearly usable. In everything I have read it appears the issue is on Adobe's end for not supporting windows higher resolutions or the calling to scale. Is there a known fix for this I am not seeing in the community?  If I buy a license for Photoshop CC will it have the same scaling issues and micro sized user interface as CS6?
    Question two is related to the license I purchase.  Can I have the program on my desktop as well as my surface with a single license?   Look forward to hearing back from someone, thanks in advance.

    One license entitles to two installations – though I’m not sure anymore if that’s for non-simultaneous use or is that condition has been dropped.

  • Questions before signing up to itunes match

    Hi friends,
    How fast do the songs load and play? Is the response speed based on how fast my internet connection is?
    Will I be playing my songs of iTunes?
    The vast majority of my music is not bought at iTunes (CD rips, Amazon). I read iTunes Match will still work with non iTunes purchased music. When uploading such music, will it at least keep the Artist, Album, and Song info even when CDS are not in the iTunes database/catalog? I really would not want to spend hours re-labeling the music.
    Is iTunes Match a safe place to store my music and could I deleted it from my hard drive without worry?
    Thank you
    Sebas

    In general yes. How quicklyi songs start playing and download will depend on the speed of the internet connection,.

    I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking.

    Yes, iTunes Match works with tracks not purchased from the iTunes Store. It will even "match" a lot of the music. You're metadata will be maintained.

    Hello Ash1959,
    It sounds like you do not remember setting up security questions for your Apple ID and need them reset so you can set them up with your answers. You can use the the following article to reset them with a rescue email address, and it contains a link to contact the correct department if you do not have a rescue email address set up already.
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Seen this question before but no answer, how can I change my email address from all caps into a more proper upper-lower style.

    Seen this question before but no answer, how can I change my email address from all caps into a more proper upper-lower style.

    You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements.   Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.

  • I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.

    I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.
    How do I do the importing.

    If the video is already on a DVD:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • E71: annoying confirm connection question before s...

    hello
    how can I disable the confirm question before a synchronization?
    I'm synchronizing over a bluetooth connection. The user guide tells me to click on authorize but I can't find the opportunity to choose this option. Is this done on the E71 or in the Nokia PC Suite application?
    thanks for any hints

    hello,
    do you have any idea how to sync my e71 offline with outlook emails/inbox. there's no checkbox for emails on the synchronisation set-up screen (only contacts, tasks, calendar). I've been doing this for years with my Palm Treo. I can't believe it's not a function on this high-end Nokia?
    thanks

  • A few questions before buying a spectre x360

    Hi I'm considering buying a 13" Spextre x360 once Win10 arrives in final version -  but have a few questions before going ahead. Mostly looking into the 4041no (i'm from Denmark) - or similar configuration. I need a configuration with at least 500 GB of hard drive and 8 GBs of RAM.  1. Will the spectre support all the new windows 10 touchpad gestures (similar to OS X/Mac gestures)? I have read something about the touch pad on the not being a "precision touchpad" but instead being run by synoptic drivers or something. Don't know exactly what it means. I come from a Mocbook Pro - and these gestures are so good.  2. One of the things some talk about in reviews is heat - that the x360 gets very hot to hold. Even just browsing the web. And also fan noise being loud. Any experience here - is it just a few unfortunate buyers, or are any of these issues generic. 3. Browsing the web there are so many different model numbers, that i can't keep up - and some of them seem to be identical configurations. Is there any overview of what is what. For instance 4041no and 4040no seem identical - but there is a difference in price, at the stores i have seen online. Similarly there is a 4030no and a 4032no. What are all these models. different numbers for every store/country/????. Any help here.. 4. The 4041no model i'm looking into has this QHD screen. Very high resolution. How is that in everyday life for surfing the web (mostly Chrome), Photoshop, watching movies local/streaming and more. It seems that everything will be very small, or is there scaling options or other stuff that makes this high resolution usable in real life. Or maybe lower the resoltion in settings. Any experience? I will soon try to find one in a real store to try out if possible. Think i'll start with those questions :-) And maybe also some generel feedback on the spectre x360. Thanks /Jonas  

    Hi Jonas,
    I have the 4014 model (core i7, 256gb ssd, 8gb ram and FHD screen) so I can answer some but not all of your questions.
    1. Touchpad is responsive and easy to use for me. Just upgraded to windows 10 and multi touch gestures are working fine. Three finger tap to open search, four finger tap to open the quick settings panel. Three finger flicks do app switching and minimising. The pad is controlled by the synaptic driver, but it has quite a few options and seems to work well for me.
    2. Heat is not an issue for me. Sure, it gets warm when running intensive tasks, but as long as you are not pushing the cpu for long periods of time, it will be fine on your lap. Browsing the web, the fan will come on briefly when I load 10 or more tabs at a time, otherwise the fan will remain off.
    Being an aluminium chassis, it has the ability to transfer heat out of the shell more easily than a plastic laptop, so you might notice it getting warm quicker, but it also cools down fast.
    The fan is no louder than any other laptop I have used.
    3. Can't help you with model numbers, sorry.
    4. I'm finding that a lot of applications do not scale correctly on my FHD screen, so I can imagine that the QHD would be the same or worse. Most of the time, you can get the applications to look better by turning off display scaling in the compatibility settings. Sometimes this means that the application then looks smaller on screen, though text, images and icons are sharp, they are harder to read. The QHD would make these apps even smaller. I do not think QHD is worth it on a small screen for this reason.
    In general the laptop works well. I use it in my job as a teacher, and being able to convert from laptop to tablet is a huge benefit. It is super fast to start up and easily gets me through a school day (quite often getting home with more than half a charge). I will just close the lid between uses and it sleeps, drawing very little power. It is capable of running Photoshop and office apps, while browsing the web and doing some light duty CAD modeling on the side.
    One small issue that I and a few others have had is a crackling, buzzing noise due to the processor power regulation. Only audible in really quiet rooms or when putting an ear close to the device, when the computer is idling. Not an issue for everyday use, but something to be aware of if you have sensitive hearing or are annoyed by slight imperfections.
    Hope that answers a few of your questions.

  • Questions before I SWITCH to Mac...

    Few questions before I switch to Mac (hoepfully when Leopard comes out)....
    Currently I have a Dell XPS Media Center PC and a Vista laptop.
    1. TV/DVR CAPABILITIES: I love using my PC as a tv tuner & DVR. Does mac have this capability? If I run Vista on the Mac will my Media Center, TV tuner, etc... run the same?
    2. PDA SYNC: Will the Mac sync calendar & contat items with my Windows based PDA?
    3. WEB DEVELOPMENT: I am a ASP.NET developer. Can I do this on a mac easily? If I have to use Windows on the mac to do this, can anyone speak on the performace?
    4. SHARING FILES BETWEEN OS & COMPUTERS: Can I share files with other XP or Vista pcs I have in the house? Can I share files between the Mac and Vista OS on the SAME machine?
    5. DUAL MONITORS: Does the MacBook Pro or iMac support DUAL monitors?
    6. CS3 QUESTIONS: I'm thinking about purchasing Photoshop CS3, Flash CS3, etc... Can I install them onto the Mac side and the Vista side of the same machine?
    Thanks! I was a PC lover, but now I'm turning into a MAC LOVER!!!!
    Thanks everyone!!!

    1. No way to tell. You'd have to install the card and the drivers too see if they work.
    2. http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php
    3. You'd have to install Windows if you want to develop for .Net
    4. Yes and yes
    5. Yes
    6. You'd need to buy both Mac an PC versions of CS3

  • I can't remember the answers to my secret questions when signing into itunes

    I Cannot remember my answers to the secret questions when signing into iTunes to purchase. How do I fix this?

    Hey Moo1972,
    Thanks for the question. If you are having issues with the security questions associated with your Apple ID, follow these steps:
    If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    Reset your security questions
    1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    2. Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    3. Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page.
    4. If you have only one security question, you can change the question and answer now.
    5. If you have more than one security question:
              - Select “Send reset security info email to [your rescue email address].” If you don't see this link or don't have access to your rescue address, contact Apple Support as described in the next section.
              - Your rescue address will receive a reset email from Apple. Follow its instructions to reset your security questions and set up new questions and answers. Didn't receive the email?
    After resetting your security questions, consider turning on two-step verification. With two-step verification, you don't need security questions to secure your account or verify your identity.
    If you can't reset your security questions
    Contact Apple Support in either of these circumstances:
              - You don't see the link to send a reset email, which means you don't have a rescue address.
              - You see the link to send a reset email, but you don't have access to email at the rescue address.
    A temporary support PIN isn't usually required, but Apple may ask you to generate a PIN if your identity needs to be verified.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Form validation before signing

    I have a requirement to validate the data on the form before signing the form. So when i click on a signature field, i want to validate the form data and throw an error message. If there are errors, i do not want to display the signature popup. I am not able to suppress the signature popup. I get the error message popup and right after that Signature window pops up. Is there a way to suppress it if validation fails?

  • How can I solve "sign out of mobileme before signing in to icloud"?

    When opening the iCloud control panel on my Windows 7 PC, I get the message "sign out of MobileMe before signing in to iCloud".
    I am not signed in to MobileMe.
    Right now, I cannot sign in to the iCloud control panel because of that.
    What is the recommended approach to this issue?

    My PC still had the MobileMe control panel, once this was uninstalled, I could log in to the iCloud control panel.

  • The user's password must be changed before signing in

    I have set up a new laptop with a new of users. 
    One of these attempted to access their account, and was asked to reset their password however this screen has got stuck. The password they enter is correct (we have tried it on a different machine) but we just get the screen 'The users password must be changed
    before signing in'
    Can't get back to the start screen, can't try and login as a different user, and when I force a restart then the screen just comes back, and when I've left the battery to run down also the same screen comes back.
    When I can sometimes get the screen to go away then the screen is just blue (no markings of any kind, plain blue), and if I click or move mouse the login screen comes back.
    Any advice gratefully received

    Hi,
    Regarding current situation, let’s try following steps to check the issue:
    Step 1: Power the system off, remove the USB plugs for both the mouse and keyboard and move them to different USB ports. Power the machine back on and wait 2-3 minutes to make sure Windows has detected and set up the devices again.
    If step 1 doesn’t work, please try step 2:
    Step 2: Basically windows 8.1 stopped all the USB ports from working. Go into BIOS, for USB configuration:
    Changed it to Intel XHCI mode: Disabled
    Legacy USB Support : Enabled.
    Hope these could be helpful.
