Any computer can be hacked.  Passwords can be bypassed.
I would reduce the amount of sensitive information on your iPad to the absolute minimum.
According to media reports, law enforcement officials (who can sometimes also be criminals) have tools to hack into handheld devices.

  • 13" MacBook Air vs 13" MacBook Pro Retina for aperture while traveling

    Okay team, I think that I now the answer to this but here goes.
    I'm looking for a light MacBook to take with me to download my photos into Aperture and do sorting, tagging, maybe light editing for posting online. We are traveling to Europe for 24 days this summer, and I will be backing up pictures for 4 people.
    I had thought about a used Air, but the recent price drop of the 13" Retina MacBooks, military exchange has dropped the price on last years 13" Retina down to $1500 with the 256gb SSD, and no taxes. It's about the same as the 13" MacBook Air with the price drop.
    Is this a no brainer? I haven't used a smaller MacBook like this before, my old one was a 17" and my wife has a 2011 15" MacBook Pro.
    Any opinions? Thanks, Mark

    The graphic card is the same in the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, and the processor is similar, so you won't experience any big difference between them, but the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display will be faster. Apart from that, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display comes with 8 GB of memory. Note that the memory in both MacBooks come soldered, so buy your Mac with the memory you are going to need

  • Using iphone 4 only for wifi while traveling?

    Traveling abroad and want to turn off the phone (3g) while abroad and only use it for wi-fi..Anyone know how to do it?

    Let me pick your brain on this one..is there a way to make one folder to put various emails in that come from different sources..ie..yahoo, personal domain, me.com? I would like to keep some hotel confirmation number letters, invoices , boarding info. etc. and keep them all in one place together for a trip abroad.

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

    Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

  • Macbook Pro vs Macbook Air for Aperture while traveling

    I have an old Macbook (white) that we've used for years while traveling, but Aperture 3 can't be used on it so I need to upgrade. (My MAIN computer is a 21" Imac). I will use it only for traveling to download photos each night and be able to review them, delete them, etc. and make DVDs of photos to serve as a backup.  Once at home, the photos that have made it through the early  elimination phase will be downloaded (with their masters) to the Imac...then deleted off the laptop.
    Question: Is the Macbook Air WITH the external DVD burner, and 128 gb SS going to be what I need without overkill? OR...is the MBP that includes the DVD burner and has the 500 gb HD going to be what I need. Is the SS drive going to be more reliable for travel? (I'm careful with my 'puters.)
    I'm an avid photographer, so will be using possibly two full 16 gb cards each day. (I take over 100 gb worth of cards with me.)
    Price IS a consideration...would like to keep the price as low as I can.
    Thanks.

    Sorry I forgot the 4 GB RAM max of the MBP. My recommendation (based on your only-2-choices spec) still stands. I agree that the 4 GB is a very major limitation, not so much today but over the life of the box. The good news is that pages to SSD slow operation but are much less problematic than pages to HDD are.
    Laptop 2.5" hard drives basically sujck from a boot drive performance standpoint.
    However if we do not constrain to just your original 2 specific choices I would choose a MBP:
    • The low end MBP can be had with SSD for +$200, IMO far preferable to MBA or HDD MBP. And RAM can go to 8 or 16 GB via third party as needed; also a 1 TB HDD can replace the Superdrive.
    • My personal preference is to sell the iMac and go with a strong SSD MBP + external display as discussed in this thread:

    my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

  • Using SAP Content Server for SAP E-Recruitment

    Hi SAP Experts,
    We are presently implementing SAP E-Recruitment using BSP services, We are successfully runnig with Whole E-recruitng cycle when we use SAP system DB as storgae for External Candidtes' Documents.
    But, Our Client wants to have SAP Content Server to store all documents uploaded by External/Internal Candidates becuase client is worrying that if SAP system DB holds such huge data base of Resumes, it may slow down the performance of SAP System.
    So, We need inputs from you suggesting whether is it feasible to use SAP Content server for SAP E-Recruitment Implementation. SAP no where suggests to Content server. So, we are in deliema to go for content server or not. If it is feasible to use Content server, pls provide me proper links or documents for reference.
    Please give your valuable inputs,
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sudheer Kumar P

    Hi Sudheer,
    We are considering the same option.  We are concerned about performance after all these documents are uploaded too.  Did you install a content server?  How did it go and was it difficult to set up with e-rec?
    Thanks

  • We are using the Azure server for our web services. Server is generating an error "Unable to connect to the remote server". What is this error means

    We are using the Azure server for our web services. Server is generating an error "Unable to connect to the remote server". What is this error means  

    Hello,
    Did you means that you use the Windows Azure Virtual Machine DNS name as the server name in the Reporting Server Web Services URL?
    For example:
    Report server:http://uebi.cloudapp.net/reportserver
    Report manager:http://uebi.cloudapp.net/reports
    If you want to connect to Report Manager on the virtual machine from a remote computer, you should create a  virtual machine TCP Endpoint and open the port in the virtual machine’s firewall. By default, the report server listens for HTTP requests
    on port 80.

  • My used macbook is asking for password to unlock different keychains, how do i reset the password?

    my used macbook is asking for password to unlock different keychains, how do i reset the password?

    Hi nylife02,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Without knowing the exact keychain alert your are receiving, I will leave articles for the ones that are most likely the culprit. The one it sounds most like to me is “login” keychain. Please review the article below if indeed you are receiving the “login” keychain prompt.
    OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1631
    Another keychain prompt that this may be is the “Local Items” keychain. Please follow the attached article if the prompt is for “Local Items” keychain.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Trying to use iCloud sending server for other POP accounts

    I have an iCloud email address, and 2 other non Apple POP email accounts set up in Mail running OSX 10.7.5.  I've forwarded my 2 POP accounts to my iCloud address so mail coming to those email addresses will sync with my iOS devices via iCloud.  On my Mac, if I reply to one of these messages, it wants to use the sending server for the POP account, which means the reply will not end up in my iCloud sent mail, and therefore won't sync with my iOS devices.
    I tried to set up the POP account using the iCloud server with the following settings: 
    Server Name: smtp.mail.me.com
    Default Ports 25, 465, 587
    Use Secure Sockets Layer
    Password Authentication
    User Name:  [email protected]
    Password:  My Apple ID Password
    When I try to use this server when sending from these POP accounts, I get an error that Mail can't send with that server.  I run the connection doctor, and everything checks out OK.
    Is there a way I can accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    try logging in to your email account through the web browser and in the web client there should be auto forward setting set it up in the web client and delete the email  account from mail and then all of your email will be forwarded to your icloud account on all youre devices

  • Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? Difference between Enterprise and SE?

    We’re seeing the following issue: sql - Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? - Stack Overflow (posted by a colleague of mine) and are curious to know if this behaviour is due to a difference between standard and enterprise, or could we doing something else wrong in our DB config.?
    We have also reproduced the issue on the following stacks:
    Oracle SE One 11.2.0.3 (with Spatial enabled)
    Redhat Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 16 20:59:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    11.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition and 11.2.0.4.0 Standard Edition (both with Spatial enabled)
    Microsoft Windows Server 2003R2 Standard x64 Edition
    However, the SQL works fine if we try it on Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 *Enterprise* Edition.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Kindest Regards,
    Kevin

    In my experience sdo_filter ALWAYS uses the spatial index, so that's not the problem. Since you did not provide the explain plans, we can't say for sure but I think yhu is right: Standard Edition can't use the bitmap operations, and thus it'll take longer to combine the results of the two queries (because the optimizer will surely split this OR up in two parts, then combine them).
    BTW: when asking questions about queries here, it would be nice if you posted the queries here as well, so that we do not have to check another website in order to see what you are doing. Plus it will probably get you more answers, because not everyone can be bothered to click on that link. It would also have been nice if you had posted your own answer on the other post here as well, because my recommendation would have been to use union all - but since you already found that out for yourself my recommendation would have been a little late.

  • Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
