Using your Mac with the BBC, or maybe not!

I just wanted to bring to your attention that the BBC is conducting a survey about the future of online program content and unless we let them know there is a possiblity that Mac users will be excluded from this future service.
If you want to tell the BBC what you think please follow the link (and click on the questions tab) and fill in the online questionaire: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/consult/open-consultations/ondemand_services.html

Surely the BBC would appreciate help from Apple in resolving their problem.
At the moment the have the major share of the music download market. However there are rumblings in Europe - both with the EEC and with individual countries - concerning their DRM mechanism and the fact that it is not available to others, which is aledged to be restrictive.
If Apple were to license the DRM system to others then it might lose a percentage of it's market share in both sales [as ipod users would be easily able to purchase product from other vendors] and hardware [as some customers might buy other mp3/mpeg4 players] however it would also be able to increase sales buy adding those who already have other hardware systems to it's potential customer base. It would also silence the critics, avoid possible litigation and sanctions and publicize the company further as, even if the DRM licensing was done free or at cost, the sytem would surely need to be credited by the end user for the consumer to see thus raising the company profile further.
Failure to do this could result in a missed opportunity as corporations [like the BBC] put their business with the majority platform.
This could potentially be the biggest opportunity for Apple since 1986 and it is vital that they capitalize on it.

Use your mac as the display and keyboard for pc

(i dont know where to exactly put this) Ok I found this pc in the trash and I have a power cord for it and it runs. The thing is can I use my ibook to use a program to have a window display of it and use the keyboard on my ibook to use it? I want to use it for things that I cannot use for my mac. Trust me I love apple computers but I need a pc for some random stuff. Thanks
I can install virtual pc if I need to...

Many Windows computers (the hardware, not necessarily Windows) require a PS2 keyboard be attached before booting. This is an option that can be disabled on some machines in the BIOS so that you can boot the machine headless (without monitor, keyboard and mouse). Try connecting a PS2 keyboard, mouse and monitor to get your initial setup working.
Then, if you're able to install Windows XP Professional on the system you can enable Remote Desktop and use the free Remote Desktop Connection client from Microsoft <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=remotedeskto pclient> to allow you to use the PC headless from your Mac.
Hope this helps! bill

Is it better to use my mac with the power cord plugged in?

I'm at 100% but have heard somewhere that leaving my Macbook pro plugged in while using it is better? what is best to prolong battery life?

Here are the authoritative Apple support articles regarding their batteries. If you read the first two on the list, it should answer your query:

HT201343 can you mirror say desktop 2 and still use your mac on desktop 1 with the movie playing on the tv?

I'm interested in Apple TV for the mirroring feature through AirPlay, but will only purchase if I can still use my mac as normal whilst i'm watching what is being mirrored on the tv. Is this possible in any way? like possibly having the movie playing on desktop 2 and mirroring that and still use the mac with the other desktops to browse the internet etc?

No, AirParrot isn't a solution for dexta,
AirParrot gives mirroring function to older computer that are unsupported by the Apple's mirrorring function. Dexta is looking to extend is display which isn't a feature of AirParrot.
AppleTV will only gives you direct access to some web content using the builtin features like YouTube, Netflix, etc. If you are looking for unsupported access to other website without using mirroring, then the AppleTV isn't the best hardware to answer your need.

Hi, do you mean a real Dial-up Modem as in the old days?
As I recall, the Apple USB Modem won't work in 64 bit OSes, but there are others that will, I think this is one of them...

Or is the Modem on the other end Cable/DSL/FiberOptic?

How do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the household using one 20 dollar license?

how do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the houshold with the same license (you only pay 20 bucks for all your macs) is that right?

As long as they're all logged into the Mac App store with the same Apple ID, you can re-download the installer to all the Macs.
Or you can save a copy of the installer file before you run it and use that to update the other Macs. The ML installer file will appear in your Applications folder when it's done downloading. Copy it to another location (don't move it).
If you don't copy it before you upgrade, it will disappear when ML is finished installing.

Hello alltogether! I use PSE 7 on my PC with windows XP and now want to change to a new Mac with the newest version PSE . Is it possible to move all my albums and tags to that new version? Thank you very much for your kind answers! Candyapple111

1. Install PSE 11 in windows, upgrade your catalog, then make a full backup to a removable drive, like a usb drive, using the organizer's back up command. If you buy the boxed version you get discs for both platforms.
2. Install PSE on the mac.
3. Restore the backup to the mac. Point the restore to the .tly file in the folder, not the enclosing folder.
