Today i am going to buy iphone 4s . i have some questions.

i wanto to buy IPhone 4S off contract from apple store , will they sell it to me? is it a factory unlocked iphone?? if i need any repairs in the future .what happens if i send it to repair , will they give me a AT&T phone , do i need to wait for the "factory" unlocked that is supossed to come in november ? the last one ,
when there is an update for the iphone, i want to update it. but my iphone is factory unlocked . and i was wondering if it will still be factory unlocked if i updated it?
because i just heard .someone already bought a free-contract iphone 4s at the apple store. you just need to CONNECT to itunes and then it said," congratulation your iphone has been unlocked" is it true ? can someone answer my question?
i am waiting for your question......................
[ thank.]

That is impossible since every iPhone sold in the USA until the November release will have some sort of sim card in it. What differs is whether you purchase subsidized or not. Once the item is purchased without any subsidy it is automatically unlocked. I've unlocked two so far just by plugging them into iTunes: "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked".
The unlocked packaging will be exactly the same but will have different SKU numbers and will not come with a sim card and will have an ejector tool.
I just had some issues replacing my unlocked phone since it was malfunctioning. They replaced it with a locked unit & then came to the conclusion they are unable to unlock it. I had to return the phone and repurchase another for the unlock to work again. Come Novemeber they will have actual "unlocked" replacements.

I am going to buy a GX60 - but have several questions!

Hello folks,
Im a huge fan of MSI products and have decided to upgrade from my CR630 to a GX60. But I am trying to find out what upgrades I can do with regard to storage/SSDs. I keep finding mixed information and I am struggling to clarify what I am buying. The model specifically I am looking at buying is the "GX60 3CC-296UK".
So:
1) Does this have two standard 2.5" SATA bays i.e. one standard 2.5" HDD and one 2.5" SSD? Because I have found one website that seems to think it has one standard HDD and two mSata slots.
2) I have found another website which claims that it can have one standard HDD and "up to 128Gb SSD". Why is it limited to 128Gb on a particular SATA channel? Or perhaps that some websites sell this with a 128Gb SSD pre installed!?!
and
3) Usually when a device has USB3.0, it also has SATA 3. Does this laptop take advantage of the 6gb/s of SATA 3 if I did put a SSD into it? I have found another website which seems to think the laptop is only SATA 2 i.e. 3gb/s.
For anyone who has taken the time to read this, thank you for your time and would greatly appreciate anyones thoughts if they are able to assist!
Regards,
Iain

Well It arrived today and sadly I am a little disappointed.
First I have never used Windows 8 before, but couldn't even get into windows without being coerced into making an account with microsoft (not going to happen) and agreeing to terms and conditions with Norton Symantec (again, not going to happen).
So, within minutes - cheerio windows 8, hello windows 7 ultimate. So to BIOS we go! Before I could change boot priorities and what do I find...
HGST 1Tb - yeah not going to happen either.
I didn't spend all this just to be stuck with a deathstar in my laptop. It's like saving up for a BMW 5 series only to find a Renault engine.
I actually had a stopclock running for a laugh. It took 9 mins 23 seconds from opening the box to me removing the warranty sticker to rip that piece of S£%$ HDD out and replace it with a WD Black.
As for the RAM? Something generic would be nice, you know something I can buy another of. A specially made Kingston RAM module with a model number starting MSI - oh goody, so when I upgrade to 16gb I need to buy a whole new set just to get a matching pair.
MSI, I love you to bits - but this is testing my patience and better be bloody good once I get it going...
1) Get used to it. Windows will keep the windows login authentication (any hotmail.com account works btw) in windows 9 and up. It isn't going away. So have fun when windows 7 loses support in 2-3 years from now.
2) As for norton.. you could have just removed it, it is not tied to anything with MSI and really is just a standard free bloatware crap you get in any computer these days.
3) Hitachi has been purchased and fully owned by WD. Your WD Black is simply a HGST these days.
4) The MSI ram in it, is nothing more but a rebranded Kingston ValueRam, so any Valueram from kingston works as long as it uses the same specs as the laptop.
Also turn of Fast Boot in the Bios to allow the laptop to boot from the DVD, or simply press F11

I am looking to buy an imac but have some questions...

Is it possible to use "windows only" software on any mac? I have some photo editing software that I use that is windows only.
Thanks!
Kari

As Duane mentioned yes you can use Boot Camp which is part of Leopard to boot your machine to either Leopard or Windows. Again as Duane mentioned you will need a license of Windows to do it. By using Parallels or VM Ware's Fusion these allow you to run Windows inside of Leopard, again you need a license of Windows to install. Personally I use Fusion, the performance on my iMac is faster than my new new Windows notebook supplied from work. The main advantage of Parallels or Fusion is you don't need to turn off your machine and reboot into a different OS.
Depending on the Windows software you are running you may find a Mac equivilant and rather than investing in Parallels or Fusion you can invest in that and run everything in Leopard's native enviorment.
If you have a Apple store close by drop in and they can show you exactly what I've described.

Every time I try to update the 4s or 4 it is saying not enough storage. I am really hating this phone now because I am not going to buy storage. We have 5 iPhones on our account and now because of iCloud it does this.

your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

I'm going to install Arch this weekend but I have some questions

Currently I use Linux Mint on my primary PC, but I've installed Arch on my older PC at my parents house. I like it a lot and I think I want a distro that is rolling release and also that I build myself (as opposed to installing all of the bloat on Mint). However, I do have some questions; Linux is pretty new to me (been using it since about November) so I don't know exactly how everything works.
1) How do I know what packages I have to have installed for building C/C++ programs? I know in Ubuntu install gcc/g++ by itself doesn't get the job done, you need build-essential to get all of the libraries. Also, what packages do I need for OpenGL and SDL? I'm a CS major and I'm in an OpenGL class so I need to be able to compile OpenGL programs; SDL is for my own purposes, but I'd still like to have it.
2) I use Amarok to transfer songs to my iPod. Amarok 1.48 and libgpod 0.6.0 are in the repos and I know both of those are compatible with my 6th gen. However, I do have a question about transferring album art. On Mint, Amarok transfers the album art as I transfer the album, but someone told me that Amarok doesn't do that by default; there must have been a setting changed somewhere to do that. I looked through Amarok's options and didn't see anything like that... anyone know if I can do that in Arch, and how? There's no real information about Amarok in the wiki.
3) I'm going to use Gnome environment but some KDE apps (like Amarok). Will there be any problems with that that I should know about in advance?
I'll probably have some more questions once I actually install Arch, but that will do for now Those are the important ones.

1) You know by seeing its dependencies on pacman or by the developer documentation. Unlike other distros, you don't need to install dev packages. Example: You have gcc and all the basic gnu tools installed, and you want to compile a program that is not in a arch linux package yet (if theres a package, you can build it using abs / makepkg and pacman will handle the dependencies) and requires, for example, a library called "xyz", you only need to download "xyz" from pacman, and all the dev stuff will come together (like header and etc).
I hope it helps.

Somehow my wife has ended up with some of my apps on her iPhone, and I have some of her apps on my iPhone. So, when I update apps on my phone, some of them ask me for her apple ID password. How do I get her apps off my phone.

Do you guys use the same computer with itunes on it? And the best way to get them off is to go into the Setting>Itunes & App Store and sign out of her appleid if it's listed there. Also just delete all of the apps from her appleid off your phone.

So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement. They replace the ENTIRE device.
For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device. Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
Apple will not touch the device now. They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

I'm one of the apple Customer I always buy from apply iPod and iPhone I have been problem on my phone last three mounts I'm trying to Contact contact the dealer in Israel to fix my phone I just buy iPhone 5 and have been lot of problems in the phone

I have the issue with the sound going on my iPhone 4s I have tried everything undocking it works for a short period then it starts again phone out of warranty so Apple what do I do

The sound keeps going on my iPhone 4s ringer continues to work when volume buttons are pressed the word ringer comes up but none of the indicator blocks for volume level tried all the fixes undocking from PC works for a while then it happens again but phone not in warranty so Apple what's the fix

IF you are getting no messages period - not just no iMessages - then it is very likely a carrier issue. It is AT&T and not the phone. SMS travels via the carrier wave used to make phone calls - iMessages use data and go through Apple servers as you know
If you are getting no messages at all - then I wonder if your cell service is ok or if you are in an area of strong signal - then does your SIM card need to be looked at

I started with 100 pages in my photo book. Then reduced the number to 75 for finished project. When i click on "buy" it says I have some frames with no photos. But I've checked entire book

I started a book with 100 pages, but reduced it to 75 by deleting some pages. When i completed the book & tried to buy it a box pops up saying I have some frames that need photos. I've checked the book over & over & cannot find any pages like that. How can I order my completed book?

Look for pages that use photos for the background, even if you have other photos on the page. It'll look something like this in the layout pane:
It would look like this in the PDF version:
If you have a 1 photo per page, full page, you could have that option selected and not know it unless you looked at the layout pane like this example:

New to iPhone...Have a question that hopefully someone can answer...

Hello,
I am a fairly new iPhone user and I have a question. In order to purchase songs from iTunes and get them on my iPhone do I have to download iTunes directly onto my iPhone and do it all through my iPhone? The reason I ask this is because I purchased a few songs from iTunes on my home computer and when I synced my iPhone it said that those songs were not transferred because it is not allowed on more then one machine. Please help???

Larla,
Did the message mention some songs could not be transferred because they are not authorized to play on this computer? If so, you can authorize the computer if you haven't authorized five computers already. If you have already authorized 5 computers, you can deauthorize all, and then reauthorize up to 5 computers.
To authorize this computer go up to the Store menu in iTunes, and choose "Authorize Computer". You will be prompted to enter your iTunes Store account username and password. Once it says the computer has successfully been authorized, you can then sync your iPhone with those songs.
If you got a different error message, please reply with it.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

I cat't buy iPhone because I have an account with ATT!!!!!

Hello!!!! I want to get 2 iPhones for me and my GF and I contacted ATT and they said I have to pay full price becuase I am not eligible for the discounted price since I only have the plan since may!!! They sent me an email and they said that because of the agreement with Apple they are not allowed to sell the iPhone at the discounted price if you are not eligible for an upgrade or a new customer. I think is not fair because I will still pay the $30 data plan and the ATT is geting the money back from that over the term of the contract and plus I have a big minutes plan . What you guys think of that . Apple should make the iPhone available to all the ATT customers since they will pay the plan anyway and nobody is losing anything . I really don't get this and I hope that by holiday season they will take care of that since they will need the push that since the sale of iPhone is going to give them a nice profit over the holiday season considering the economic situation! Thank you !!!

I had a subsidized phone with an AT&T contract as well. They generally will allow the "main" number in a family plan to upgrade to a subsidized phone in less than the 2 years...often about 1 1/2 years or less. I was able to get a subsidized iPhone in September (I may have been eligible earlier but didn't check into it prior to that). My husband can't upgrade until December and that will be 4 or 5 months before the current 2 year contract expires on his phone.
I had lengthy conversation with AT&T both at the store and in a follow up conversation on the phone about why someone could walk in off the street (non AT&T customer) and get the subsidized price but my husband could not. I was also informed about the fact that they already subsidized our previous phones and that's why he was not eligible for the reduced price.
I guess I can understand why if they let you do it all the time you would be looking for the latest and greatest upgrades and probably selling your subsidized phones at a profit when you got a new one.
I will add that when I called customer service at AT&T to see if they had any way to let my husband upgrade earlier (at the suggestion of my in store salesman) I was also told that their agreement with Apple prohibited them from doing that any earlier. He would have given my husband an earlier than normal upgrade on any other phone, but explained they had absolutely no flexibility on the iPhone per their agreement with Apple.
Obviously I have no way of knowing if that is true since I haven't seen their agreements. I assume if I walked into an Apple store to buy the phone, they would look at our AT&T account and tell us the same thing.
My husband has been "playing" with my phone quite a bit while we're out and about and I know he likes it. But yesterday I asked him if he still wants to get one in December when he's eligible and he said he's not sure. If he'd been eligible when I bought mine he would already have bought it!

I am going to buy a new external hard drive and have some questions first

Although I asked this question several years ago, I would like to ask it again, just if in case technology in general or external hard drives in particular have changed in any significant ways.
I need to replace a 1 terabyte LaCie external hard drive that died on me after a few years.
1. I am afraid of buying another LaCie. What other brands are reliable? I heard that Western Digital is. Also another brand beginnibg with S (so helpful, I know).
2. Do I have to look for a drive that is MAC FORMATTED? I vaguely recall this term from years ago. I also remember another term that I was to look out for, but I don't remember what it was. Something like ”chronicled“ but obviously not that.
3. Should I get more than 1 terabyte? Right now I have an old, old 125 gigabyte LaCie that still lives, but it is so small that it is almost nothing
4. What do you think about buying external hard drives fron Costco as opposed to from the Apple Store?
~L

Ziatron, you wrote ”All you do is open the enclosure and the hard drive plugs in. (done.)“ What enclosure?
This is the enclosure I like, it needs a hard drive to work : http://www.cooldrives.com/ox93saiihadr.html
But there are many others.
looking at my two dead laCie ext. hard drives and they don't have ”enclosures.“ Just holes in the back to receive the cables.
A hard drive enclosure is a box or case the actual hard drive goes into. Look at the images in the link above. You can see what is inside.
This hard drive goes inside the above cool drive enclosure: http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Intellipower-Desktop-WD20EADS/dp/B001RB1TI S/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1258862242&sr=8-1
You recommended getting a hard drive with a Firewire connection, but most of the hard drives have USB.
Well maybe, the better drives are Firewire.
Should that matter to me?
Yes, Firewire is "isochronous", basically meaning that you can pump "clocked" data though it in real time. USB works more like TCPIP, with the data chopped up into packets and later reassembled. (Thus, at a minimum, you have latency, that is, the wait for the data to be "put back together".) Second, the Firewire protocol allows more direct address to memory (including mass storage) with minimal intervention of the CPU.
Is USB a whole lot slower than Firewire if I am transferring materials?
Firewire is faster and _more reliable._
Take a look at the link below, "Build Your Own External Hard Drive". The enclosure I like is easier to use.
http://www.harmony-central.com/articles/tips/hard_drive/
http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/ss/externalhdcase.htm
Also you need a Mac Pro to use eSATA, with a iMac use the Firewire port.

Going to buy a new MBP 17, but questions first

Hi all, looking to buy a custom build new Feb'11 refresh MBP 17 as soon as possible, but have a number of questions.
(As background, Im a freelance IT software developer and professional music producer/DJ/performer - need the laptop to support both activities - Mac OS for music, Windows 7/64 for IT work).
1. Intel support chipset flaw - does anyone know EXACTLY what Apple have done regarding this?
I am guess one of:
1. Waited for replacement from intel - shipping seems too soon.
2. Only use the 3Gbps ports and not using the 6Gbps ports (Net contains suggestions that Apple made a 'logic tweak' to get aorund the issue, which sounds to me like they intended to use the 6Gbps ports and downgraded back to the 3Gbps ports - if so will postpone purchase, but I need to know one way or the other)
2. I am tempted by 256GB SSD rather than a mechanical HD as the laptop is likely to be used near very loud PA systems. Should I go with Apple or just take the cheapest mechanical HD and sort out an SSD myself?
3. Because I also need to have alot of online storage, then I am also tempted by an OptiBay mod to replace the otical drive with an additional SSD in the future (160GB sample library, music files etc).
4. Is Apple care worthwhile and is apple care support impacted by swapping out the HD or optical drive and going with an Optibay etc?
5. I need to also run windows 7/64 via bootcamp as a second and heavily used OS as I still make much of my living from IT work as well as music. Pre-refresh MBPs were not exactly perfect for running windows - power management etc. Does anyone know if this situation has improved post refresh? Is the situation likely to be even worse with thunderbolt / display etc?
Thanks all for any answer anyone might be able to give
A

You can read my initial view of the i7 17" Quad Core here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2011/2/25Early_2011_MacbookPro.html
The unit supports SATA 3 & SATA 6: http://grab.by/9adG
I have a 240Gb SSD and a 1Tb normal hard drive in place of the SuperDrive. It's a great solution - personally I'd sort an SSD myself rather than buy Apple's.
Swapping out the SuperDrive does void you warranty as far as I know.
I run virtualised Win7 x64 all day every day and it's ace.

Today i am going to buy iphone 4s . i have some questions.
