What are payment options for the upgrade?

I was wondering if I can buy the 2.0 upgrade for the $9.95 on the iTunes store with a iTunes gift card? Or will I need to use a credit card for it?

I think is a bunch of bull you have to pay for the update iphone users dont. And before you say it they pay monthly to AT&T not apple.
You really need to do your research on this subject.
I software is free to iPhone users NOT because of the contracts that people have with AT&T.
It is free because Apple decided to account for the iPhone (and Apple TV) differently.
When you pay your $400 for the iPhone they do not recognise the full $400 as a sale.
What they do (and this has been very clearly stated by Apple), is take 1/24 of the $400 each month.
This is not money from AT&T is is the money that was paid for the phone.
Now because in effect Apple are not taking the revenue and profit for the full phone at point of sale and instead only take a % every month the buyer is paying for the phone over the 24 month period.
Therefore Apple can and will give free software updates because in effect the product sold is not complete and can take money as they add features.
This complicated accounting method was caused by the EXON issues and the Sabane Oxley laws that resulted from that case.
If you would like to know more, so that you understand rather than rant, you can read more here in an excellent article that explains it in more detail :-
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/06/25/thehidden_financial_impact_of_applesiphone.html
The iPod touch on the other hand is accounted for like all other products, all revenue / profit taken at time of sale. If Apple gave the software Upgrades (not bug fixes as they are free) away for free they would be breaking the law as it would deprive shareholders of potential revenue that should have been charged for adding features to a product that has been already sold. That is why we ahd to pay for the iMac Airport 'N' drivers as well.

What are Payment Methods for the iPhone 5?

I am looking at purchasing an iPhone 5 and was wondering what the payment methods were for the purchase?

Apple does not offer such, but some carriers or authorized vendors may. You'll just have to check to see what's availble where you live.

I am changing phones from an iphone but i have still having money in my itunes.... What are my options for the blance in itunes??

Will i lose the money or will it just sit there in my itunes account???

From iTunes Gift balances :
You can't redeem or return iTunes Gift Cards, Gift Certificates, and unused store credit balances for cash except as required by law. If your jurisdiction allows for refund of redeemed gift balances, you can request a refund by contacting iTunes Store Support, selecting a support category and topic, and including the following information in your request detail:
Apple ID (this is your iTunes Store account name)
Store credit refund amount
Current shipping address
Additional information may be requested for verification purposes.
So you might be able to get it back

What are my options for a data plan + upgrade?

So my old phone (Samsung Intensity) broke today, and I'm looking to upgrade to a smartphone. I would prefer an iPhone, but really it's not that big of a deal if I get a Droid. I'm eligible for an upgrade currently. What are my options for a smartphone and a data plan? I'm looking for what's the cheapest option as far as this goes. People tell me an iPhone is free with an upgrade, and that the cost is $20 a month, but I just want to be sure.

Unless you have an old calling plan, you should be able to add a tiered data plan for your new smartphone (i.e., $30 for 2 GB). If you switched to the Share Everything plan, your monthly cost would be $40 line access + at least $50 for 1 GB data (includes unlimited minutes/texts and mobile hotspot, although the hotspot data usage comes out of your data plan), plus, of course, taxes/fees (and insurance, if applicable).
You can check pricing for phones via your on-line MyVerizon account if you click on the Upgrade button. If you are mainly interested in free phones (keep in mind that there's a $30 upgrade fee), there's the Nokia Lumia 822, Spectrum 2, Droid Razr M, iPhone 4, Galaxy Stellar, Marauder, Rhyme, and the Lucid. Several of those are 3G phones.

Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I haven't used it in years, but I would like to start. What are my options for getting it up to date? Is it even worth the trouble/cost? I was hoping to at least get it running Snow leopard, if not Lion. Options?

I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I would like to start using it again, however it is so out of date and runs too slowly. What are my options to update it? I really don't want to invest a ton of money - I might as well get a new one, so if there are any reasonable ways to get it to run Snow Leopard or even Lion, please help. I've also considered using a mac mini? Is that worth it either? I'm not sure which way to go here. I don't want to trash it, I feel like it can be a great computer if updated.

Presumably it is running tiger 10.4.11?
It may be able to run Leopard 10.5:
Leopard system requirements:

But that is as far as the old PPC Macs can go, and Leopard can cost up to $200 on Amazon.

Is there a pre-payment option for the iPad 4G LTE?

Hello Everyone,
I was told that the iPad has a pre-payment option. However, when I talked to a few operators (I got dropped twice, thanks to ATT), but all of them had mentioned a pre-payment option. The reason why this interests me is because I am a very frugal person so I like the idea that I don't have to use all my data allowance all in that one month. What I had been told was that I can actually purchase 3gigs of data, pay for it, and not have to worry about that sneaky recurring, monthly payments. In addition, I was told that there is no expiration date for that 3gigs, and that if it takes me three months to go through the 3 gigs, then I am allowed that time. Versus the regular monthly plan that has no rollover. If you don't use the 3 gigs by the month's time, you lose it. I would so prefer to have the pre-payment option therefore, since I can use up every last kilobyte, instead of conserving only to have the next month arrive and lose whatever I had.
I hope this is clear.
Thank you for reading everyone!

What are my options for mirroring my ipad3 through a desktop pc (without wireless) to a data projector?

The desktop PC (Windows 7) does not have wireless. I have a VGA cable that I can plug directly to the data projector cable, however, I need the mirroring to go through the PC (because I am recording using desktop recording software).
I'm using Air Sketch for drawings in lectures and other various apps. What are my options to make this happen?
Cheers.

Of the two, go for AirServer. Some 1-2 weeks ago, I've very thoroughly benchmarked the two apps (also posted the results here) and found out that AirServer is clearly better in every respect.

Okay, hopefully this will make sense:
I have the Student & Teacher CC subscription. I'd like to use Illustrator CS6 on an additional computer. What are my options? (Obviously, the most cost-effective option is what I'm looking for!)
Jon

Jon you can purchase a single subscription or full Creative Cloud subscription but I would recommend subscribing under a separate account. This is to help ensure that your subscription are handled properly and you receive proper activation credit for the subscriptions which you have purchased.
You other option is to look into Creative Cloud for Teams but it does not appear that you are looking for enough licenses to justify a team subscription. You can find more information however at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/teams.html

What are our options for iWeb sites, in relation to iCloud? Is Apple dropping this type of hosting service?

My husband and I have relied upon iWeb for our web sites for years....what now?
Apple needs to address this issue soon! What are our options now, Apple, with iCloud?

Great. Now really, what about iWeb Steve? http://twitpic.com/583j3k
But seriously, it seems like many people are just trying to seed these discussions (about how upset people are over the unknown fate of iWeb) with suggestions such as; Try this or that web site building alternative, or Apple isn't obligated to you, or "you can easily publish your site to another server" blah, blah, blah. The fact is, thousands of people (or more) have learned to count on iWeb and Apple's one click publishing AND hosting to make their web sites. They have learned to make great looking web sites quickly with iWeb. They like iWeb. Some of us have used it for years. Apple is likely pulling the rug out from under ALL of these people. Many Sites, Blogs, Podcasts, Business Sites etc. will now simply cease to be if Apple stops supporting iWeb during the transition to "iCloud".
The most frustrating thing of all is that Apple has not (as of yet) even said one thing about what will happen to all of the web sites already created with iWeb. They are just ignoring it so far. They have only given the press releases about MobileMe going away. It is rude in my opinion. Trying to "spin" the dialog about it now is not what is needed. I agree that Apple needs to answer the many legitimate concerns all the iWeb users are raising. And the sooner the better.

CI have a macbook 2.1 with 1GB of memory. What are my options for adding memory s I can upgrade to Lion? (I am running 10.5.8 now) and to icloud. I ve never been able to backup to idisk because of lack of memory also.

I have a macbook 2.1 with 1GB of memory. I have two issues- both related to lack of sufficient memory. Issue#1 is upgrade to LION requires more memory than I have and I d like to upgrade. Issue 2 is that when ever i try to backup to idisk I get a message telling me I need to remove some files from my start up disk to make room. I don t know what I can remove without creating problems. So I think I need to add memory. Is this possible?

You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

You can upgrade to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 will run under10.6. You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

What are my options for in car charging AND music playing for iPhone 3G?

Ok, before you direct me to the other threads, I have read them, and I still don't know what product I can buy for my 3G that will charge my phone and play music in my car.
With my original iPhone I was using the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It always gave me that message to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode. I would pick yes or no, then it would charge and play music.
When I plug in my 3G I get the yellow triangle warning that says this device doesn't charge this phone (paraphrasing of course). It appears that it will play music, but if it won't charge my phone then I'm going to run the battery down fast. I rely on being able to charge my phone a bit during the day in the car.
I do not have any AUX port in my car or any kind of iPod hookup in my car that I am reading about on other threads. As far as I know, an FM transmitter or a cassette adapater (I do have a tape deck) are my only options. However, since my husband's car that I drive on the weekends to work does not have a tape deck, I would really prefer a device that does not use a tape (also my previous experience with a tape adapter is that they stop working after a short while).
The power port in my car is nearly at the floor, nowhere near the dash, so any device I use cannot require me to rely on the "on device" controls to control the music.
I see this on amazon
*Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPod and iPhone (Black)*
*Technical Details*
*¿ Enjoy full use of your iPod or iPhone during car trips, and arrive with your battery fully charged.*
*¿ Includes detachable Dock Connector to USB Type A cable that can be used separately to connect your iPod or iPhone to your computer.*
*¿ Includes USB Type A to mini-B cable so you can charge while using Griffin iTrip or other dock connector devices that have built-in pass-throughs.*
*¿ 2 Amp automotive blade-type fuse protects against spikes and surges and is easily replaceable.*
*¿ Works with iPhone, iPod models that feature full-size dock connector, and iPod shuffle (1st generation).*
And in another thread, people reported that the Griffin powerjolt DOES work with the 3G, so does the above description mean that I can use this device with my iTrip to charge and play music?

My Pioneer iPod car audio adapter cable does NOT charge my iPhone 3G and they have no plans to change this at this time.
I have a cheapo Griffin car iPod charger (the kind that has a plug for the cigarette lighter and a separate cable that has a mini-USB on one end and a dock connector on the other) and it DOES charge my 3G iPhone.
Go figure, but for now there it is.
Someone HAS to be working on an adapter that goes between the 3G iPhone and a dock connector device to fix this charging issue (which I guess has to do with the last iPhone and many iPods being able to charge via USB at 5V and/or FireWire at 12V but the new iPhone only charging via USB at 5V)

What are best options for home Mac Wi-Fi setup?

Having a newer 3rd gen iPod Touch and planning on getting
an Apple laptop ... what are some of the better Wi-Fi options
to setup in my home environment (using indoors and around
the house, patio, etc.?
I'm obviously aware of Apple's products like AirPort Express Base Station,
AirPort Extreme Base Station, and maybe even the older AirPort bases, but
would also welcome any suggestions to inexpensive third-party "Mac friendly"
Wi-Fi routers as well (ie: Belkin, NetGear, etc.)
Some of the older Apple AirPort Base units are showing up on eBay, and
even though slower than the newer Apple Wi-Fi routers, seem to offer a reasonable
entry point at a reasonable price.
What are some of the best Wi-Fi routers for a basic setup, the most reliable, and
least expensive for starting out?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Apple routers generally work well but are expensive and in the middle range of performance. The Airport Extreme base station works well and is capable of operation across both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Your Macbook will do well at 5 GHz and your touch at 2.4 GHz. However, there are other routers out there that will perform better for less money.
So, I suggest you do some research on what would best fit your needs. The following website, http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/ does a really good job of wireless router reviews, albeit a bit technical. If you don't need the 5 GHz band, then there are a number of 2.4 GHz routers out there that will do really well for under $100. A good wireless N 2.4 GHz router will work well in your application.
For prices and user reviews, both NewEgg and Amazon are much better locations to research/purchase than E-Bay.

What are my options for a unified remote console

My home-cloud is a 4x servers running Proxmox. Recently I turned one of these to ESXi 5.5 u1 to see what I was missing. (comment withheld).
I am looking to understand what my alternatives are to the problem of remote consoles to allow access across the web, and from Mac OS or a web browser. At a push, a windows VM will do too.

Unless you have an old calling plan, you should be able to add a tiered data plan for your new smartphone (i.e., $30 for 2 GB). If you switched to the Share Everything plan, your monthly cost would be $40 line access + at least $50 for 1 GB data (includes unlimited minutes/texts and mobile hotspot, although the hotspot data usage comes out of your data plan), plus, of course, taxes/fees (and insurance, if applicable).
You can check pricing for phones via your on-line MyVerizon account if you click on the Upgrade button. If you are mainly interested in free phones (keep in mind that there's a $30 upgrade fee), there's the Nokia Lumia 822, Spectrum 2, Droid Razr M, iPhone 4, Galaxy Stellar, Marauder, Rhyme, and the Lucid. Several of those are 3G phones.

What are payment options for the upgrade?
