Using smart phone as backup for uverse being down

My AT&T Uverse home dsl service was being upgraded yesterday and and something went wrong. Now my service is completely down and we'll be for the next few days. Would AT&T wireless let me use my AT&T cell as a backup without charging ne for the extra data I usa? The tech from uverse thought they would credit me. I have a ticket number to show my service is down.

I wouldn't depend on it unless you get it in writing from AT&T wireless. This is a user helping user forum. For an answer to your question, you need to private message with your account and contact information. If they approve the credit, you should be OK. I wouldn't depend on the word of a tech.

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verif

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

Using old file system backup for Cloning

I have taken an off-line backup of Oracle 11i (11.5.10.2) 15 days ago. Before taking backup of file system , I verified that all the latest Rapid Clone Patches are applied. No changes or patch work in APPL_TOP or DB has been done since that backup. Now I need to do cloning of this instance, how I can use this backup for Cloning.
Rapid Clone scripts create and generate some files/directories so I am not sure whether my Old backup of file system will work or not. What is the best way to use old backup for cloning , also what are the file and directories in addition to the old backup of file system which I need to copy to Target System.
Thanks for reviewing and suggestions.
Samar

Samar,
If you have run preclone before backing it up, your backup should be valid for cloning.
2.1 in the cloning doc has to be in the backup.
These doc's should clear out yours doubts on cloning.

Using DVD-R as backup for data

I thought I could use a blank DVD-R disc as backup for data/files, as I've done with blank CD's in the past. However, loading a blank DVD just starts iDVD and I can't figure out how to transfer files, plus there is no disk icon on my desktop. I'm sure this is a real beginner question, but I just got my iMac. Thanks, David

Hi David
First thing you need to do is change your preferences so that the DVD mounts on the desktop. Open System Preferences by click the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen and selecting "System Preferences..."
The select the CDs & DVDs pane in System Preferences. You can change the "When you insert a blank DVD" option to "Ask what to do". You can now close System Preferences
The computer will then ask what you would like to do when you insert the blank DVD, selecting "Open Finder" will mount the DVD on the desktop.
Hope this helps

Use android phone as modem for airport extreme

Can anyone suggest an intermediate device between my Nexus 5 phone and my Airport Extreme to enable the AE to use the phone as its internet source?
I assume the intermediate device would connect to the phone by USB and via Ethernet to the AE. Does such a thing exist?

Connect to the phone and pass the Internet connection to the Extreme via Ethernet?
In theory, it would work if the phone is providing a standard 802.11 wireless signal using WPA2 Personal security.
In practice, things may not work as well as the theory suggests.
It is going to be one of those things where you won't know if it will work until you try.
If so could the Express be the bridge and the Extreme the router?
In theory, yes. Let us know if you decide to try.
I travel with two AirPort Express devices for use in hotels that only provide a wireless connection. The first Express is configured to "join" the hotel network and it provides an Ethernet signal to the second Express which is configured to act as a wireless router.
The hotel only sees one connection this way....the first Express....and I can set up my own "private" network for other wireless devices to connect without having to pay for each separate connection or device.

HT201250 can a time capsule be used as just a backup for data without being connected to a home network?

This is the explanation for my my question about whether a time capsule can be used as a backup without being connected to a network. I had to disconnect my time capsule when I upgraded my landline to a wireless home phone in order to go to a wireless security system that would work with my 2WIRE router. The time capsule blocked the usage of my camera on my security system, not allowing the camera to connect to the 2WIRE router. Once I disconnected the time capsule, the camera was able to connect wirelessly to the 2WIRE.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
See > https://discussions.apple.com/message/16717724#16717724
As you can read, you can do what you want. You just have to set up the Time Capsule network in AirPort Utility without connecting it to the router and ignoring the messages, and connect to the Time Capsule network. You will have to switch between the Time Capsule and the other router's networks

Has anyone been able to update to Mango using Windows Phone 7 Connector (for Mac) ?

I've been trying to update my Trophy, but have not been able to get past the 7392 update. Since I am on a Mac, I have been using the god-awful Windows Phone 7 Connector. I've tried using Windows, through Parallels, but it bogs my machine down so much, I can't tell if the software has crashed or the machine is frozen.
Looking for ways to Jedi Force the update all point to using a PC and Zune, but nothing for Windows Phone 7 Connector.
Thanks, in advance.

In the case of the Mac, I would have to suggest that you just be patient. I am not familiar with the Windows Phone Connector, but the reported "force" of disconnecting the internet connection while checking for updates is a Zune workaround, not advertised in any way to work on a Mac.
It is not Verizon who is holding back the update. Microsoft had announced in the beginning that they were going to roll it out in a controlled fashion, with only 10% during the first week, and ramping things up if they went smoothly. Things DID go smoothly, and they have ramped up, and from what I have read, at this point the update is available to about 50% of Windows Phone users. As reported by WPCentral, after ten days, 20% of users are running Mango. Compare that to 38% of Android users being updated to Gingerbread 10 MONTHS after the update was released (http://www.wpcentral.com/just-ten-days-microsoft-has-updated-20-phone-mango-world-wide-android-weeps). Microsoft is well ahead of that curve. Remember - they have said that they expect everyone to have Mango available to them by the end of October. I know it is hard to sit and wait while your friends are using Mango, but I hope this helps you.

Using smart card/nfc tag for authentication on Windows 8 devices NOT in a domain

Title says it all. We have Sony RC-S380 readers and Acer Iconia W510 tablets with builtin Broadcom NFC chips. We can read tags and configure them for the usual proximity stuff (URIs, mail, etc.) but we are looking for authentication purposes, however without
using ADFS or domain security. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

Hi,
By default, smart card is not available for stand alone computer and local account.
This authentication technology might be helpful to you:

?? re using IPOD Classic as backup for photos while away on vacation

I bought an 80GB IPOD Classic primarily as a backup storage device for photos while away for 3 months. I have copied about 4 g of songs onto it (using my main computer and ITUNES) and now plan to use it to back up photos using my Laptop (which doesn't have ITUNES on it).
I realize that I don't want to use the ITUNES Photo Sync as I will be using it on two computers and it will erase and sync the new photo files so I plan to copy and paste the files in using Windows Explorer. I've done a couple of tests and all seems fine - using Explorer I copy Pictures Folders into the IPOD and I can see the files, open them, delete them, etc - and they're the correct size.
My question is this - I can't seem to "see" the photo files on the IPOD itself - when used as a storage device can you not see the photos? Is there another menu I can't find?
Also - I checked off the "Enable Disk Use" and "Full Resolution" in ITUNES - maybe that's not necessary as I'm not using ITUNES for the photos?
Thanks for any help

*I can't seem to "see" the photo files on the IPOD itself - when used as a storage device can you not see the photos? Is there another menu I can't find?*
You can't "view" anything on your screen that is added to the iPod when using it as a storage device, in the same way that you can't play songs added in that mode either. You can only access those files through Windows Explorer (or Finder on a Mac), you can only view or play anything added through iTunes.

Has anyone used Timpsons phone repair service for a replacement screen on iPhone 4S?

My iPhone 4S has a. cracked screen, but still works OK.
Can anyone comment on Timpsons repair service? It will cost £40 for the repair, but they do use real glass, not just a plastic screen.

If your phones is in waranty then thats a bad move. Other wise I cannot comment on non Apple repairs, and dont feel this forum is the best place for that. iPhones use specially toughened glass with a Oleophobic coating, I would not trust 'glass' to be that. Also if you break your phones dies and you need a out of warranty replacement you wont get one buy going down this path.

Listening to radio using smart phone

Hi, I'm new to this and a technophobe so please forgive me.
I've just had an e-mail from BT advising that i've used more than 7gb of my 10gb.
I've recently bought an i-phone and i've downloaded a few apps which i thought might account for this.
However, I've just spoken to a BT adviser who tells me that listening to the radio on my i-phone (or laptop) would use quite a lot of my allowance up, which i have been doing a lot.
I'd previously been on the BT website and there it tells me that i can reduce my usage by connecting via WFI rather than GPRS, yet the adviser told me that connecting via WFI uses the same amount.
I'm confused now, can anyone help?
Thanks in advaance

It uses exactly the same amount. The point is that the monthly data limit with broadband is probably 10GB minimum, whereas using mobile networks it's more likely to be 500MB (ie ½GB). So if you're bothering the limit with wifi, you might blow it away using GPRS.

Using gmail as a backup for Z30 contacts

If I open a Google account and get a gmail address, will it backup (sych) my Contacts (1,800) that are already on my Z30, or will I have to re-enter them after setting up a gmail address....thanks!

Here's what I'd do if it were me. Create a new Outlook.com account then proceed with the following:
Create a new Outlook profile on your PC. Might as well set up a profile that goes to the new Outlook.com address while you're at it, but you don't have to.
Plug in the device.
Open Link
Click on the gear icon at the upper right.
Then at the bottom you should see two "tabs." One will be your computer name and the other should say "BlackBerry-XXXX" Click on the BlackBerry-XXXX tab.
Make a full backup of the device. You never know, anything can happen with tech and you want to be able to restore if you have to.
Under Synchronization click on Configure. Choose the profile you created for the Outlook.com address. Again, the profile doesn't have to be connected to the Outlook.com account if you don't want it to. It can be just a blank account.
Check the box for Contacts and uncheck for calendar (nless you want that data too).. Configure the sync for "1-Way Sync to Your Computer."
Once the data is in Outlook then export the contact to a file that you can import into Outlook.com.

Is there any way to use iphone as a backup for images while travelling

Iphone would make a great back up store for digital images taken with a real camera while travelling, if there was a way to transfer full resolution image files from a PC to iphone via USB. When I am travelling light, I dont carry a laptop with itunes and the iphone doesn't appear as a drive when connected to a computer. Not sure why the file system is hidden.
Any ideas for this?

The iphone does not support disk mode, which would allow it to be used for storage.
At present, I know of no way to do what you want.

HT201401 my phone has crashed completely and all I now get is a plug in Itunes visual. I tried to download the latest upgrade and this happened. I cannot use my phone at all - for any function

This is strange. I plugged in my phone as normal to my laptop for it to sync. Upon doing so as normal i hadn't the latest software/ version so pressed for the download. After 10 mins my phone has lost all life - no calls, text, emails....... just a usb visual with an arrow pointing to ITunes.
Tries to restore but nothing.........

You may need to try this More than Once...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.
