What is the best family plan option. Currently have one smart phone with 30gb of data and 3 basic phones. Also have home phone for $20/month. Current plan is 700 shared minutes and unlimited texting. My bill is close to $200/month, looking to lower if possible.

On a tablet- pse forgive typos....
Great Advice given earlier by SuzyQ - I believe the question not asked of you is ---what do you want to pay for the services that you need. I think that it would narrow the groups suggestions if you could narrow your needs.
For example: I need talk and text on 4 phones and some data say, 2 Gig, on only one of the phones. what plan is the best cost for me? You may also need to ask what the cost may be to switch to a different plan. I suspect that there will be no cost within Verizon-but ask anyway.
I do not think that you can have a smart phone on any Verizon plan unless you agree to buy data for that phone. Also, you said that wifi is often available-however, I do not believe that Verizon allows talking over wifi without consuming airtime minutes-only data over wifi avoids your allowance to be impacted.
As most here already know, several other service providers offer wifi-friendly service (talk/text/data) that will provide home/business/restaurant service without impacting your allowance- just not here.
After getting some suggestions here, call 611 and confirm availibility and price.
Best of luck in your research.

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

#1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
#2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
#3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
#4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

CTS+ what is a best option for transport domain?

Hello Experts,
What is a best option to confugure CTS+ regarding the transport domains?
Should it be simpe and single transport domain at SOLMAN system and all satellite systems assigned to this single transport domain OR should I keep existing transport domains for satellite systems and connect them via domain link with SOLMAN?
Any ideas please?
Thanks!

hI,
Normally if you have non abap system in your landscape then you can have solman domain as both communication system and Transport domain, then maintain the TMS domain configuration in solman itself
If you want to maintain ABAP separated system as communication system then this case you have to create the domain link between communication system transport domain and the solamn domain

What's my best option for replacing iDisk in ICloud?

What's my bet option for replacing IDisk in ICloud?

I would also have a look at SugarSync (www.sugarsync.com), it provides the same services as Dropbox but is not restricted to having to place everything in the single folder to sync.
You can select which folders to sync on your machine, it is much more flexible.
You’re not limited to the desktop or web, either as there are SugarSync clients for iOS devices
You can get a free account which gives you 5 GB of storage. Or you can get 30, 60, 100, or 250 GB of storage for between $4.99 and $24.99 a month.
If you have a Google account have a look at Google Drive, it comes with 5GB of space as well and is free. You can share your documents with anyone and even work with others on a document.
Also have a look at this article http://blogs.computerworld.com/18535/apple_icloud_replacing_idisk_iweb_and_galle ry which discusses exactly moving from iDisk to other services.

What is the best way for a family to set up apple ID's and icloud?

My partner and I have separate apple id's and own a mac book, ipad, 2 iphones and apple tv. What's the best way to set it all up so we can access everything on each device? Can we merge our ID's into one and transfer all our payments? We just registered for icloud and used a new shared email address, but still have our separate apple ID's. We have separate email addresses, calendars and notes that we would prefer to keep separate. It's really just our itunes purchases, music and photos that we want to be able to share. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Nicky

They will be able to download everything that was bought with their Apple ID. If they all shared an ID then they switched to their own ID they won't be able to use any apps or music bought with another Apple ID. As I explained in my previous response. There is only one way to share apps and content across multiple Apple ID's and that is home share. So, NO there isn't a "Smooth" way to do it.

What are the best options for creating a PDF with bookmarks and a hyperlinked TOC?

What I'm interested in is whether or not there is an alternate process I could follow that would side step Word 2011's inability to export to PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs. How do you create PDF documents with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs in your documents?
Some background:
In Word 2010 and 2013 for Windows (and I'm sure this applies to older versions as well), you can export documents to a PDF file format where the exported file will carry over the bookmarks and hyperlinked table of contents. Specifically, by making specific text headers, will appear in the final PDF file as bookmarks on the side (see image taken from Adobe's website).
Regarding the table of contents, using Word's built in Table of Contents feature successfully ports the ability to navigate to a specific section by clicking on its chapter in the table of contents to the finished PDF file.
I've read several forum discussions that say it's not possible to do this from Word 2011, so my current solution is to just finish all documents on a Windows machine (either with parallels or a separate computer). The alternate process flow of creating a word document, exporting it to PDF, then rehyperlinking everything in Acrobat is just too time consuming to consider.

Hi, beejasaurus
I found a possible kluge from this discussion here
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1008480
Create the hyperlinks in Word, save the file
Open that file with Pages, export as PDF.
The links work from that PDF.
Note, I did not try this with TOC but it worked with hyperlinks embedded in the Word document

I am looking to upgrade my Mac to an ideal gaming, photo, and media creation system. What is the best option for me if I like to play The Sims 3 games?

I am looking for suggestions on the ideal gaming macbook. I enjoy playing the sims 3 but it runs really slowly on my current Macbook. I bought it back in 2011 and ive kept up to date with software updates, etc. Just needing some help deciding which system will give me the biggest bang for my buck.

16GB RAM upgrade + an SSD upgrade (biggest wallet can afford).
However, if it is a 13" model, there is an inescapable wall, since those carry just a single GPU and share the video memory with the rest of the apps. 15" and 17" models have a higher powered, separate and autoswitching GPU and up to 1GB of dedicated VRAM.

HT4623 my phone is giveing me error 21 since i updated it to ios7 it wont turn on it wont restore i have tried several times to restore the device but im really at a loss what is the best option for me ?

hi, my iphone 5 has refused to restore after i updated it to ios7 ...... it will not turn on, it will not restore i do get an error 21 mesg and i have attempted a couple of fixes from the net, but nothing seems to work . i have no acces to my phone it just is dead whats my best option, do i need to send it to apple ?

Hello Peter,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
Error 21 is part of a range of error codes generally indicating that other software is interfering with the restore process.
Check out the troubleshooting from this article named:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
All the very best,
Sterling

What is the best option for 'update.... set' in owb?

Hello.
I have been reading on a number of ways to implement following query in OWB:
update TABLE A
set Value F = (select Value B
from table B
where (nvl(trim(A.valueC),trim(A.valueD) = trim(B.ValueF)
and substr(A.valueG,1,2) = trim(B.valueH))
or ( nvl(trim(A.valueC),trim(A.valueD)) is null
and trim(B.valueF) is null
and substr(A.valueG,1,2) = trim(B.ValueH)
The table A and table B do not have a relationship.
Key lookup - some of you recommend not to use it as it is not very good.
Set Operator or Joiner? What would be better?
I created a function for this query, but i cannot use it in the map because i get this error:
API8003:coonection target attribute group is already conncted to an incompatable data source. Use a Joiner or Set operator to join the upstream data first before conncting it into this operator.
What would be the best way to do it? how i can pass the parameters from two different tables into my function? What feature of OWB would be the best option i cannot use for this?
Or my best bit to re-create it as a procedure and run it that way?
Thank you very much for your help
Kind Regards
Vix

Hopefully this is helpful and it makes sense written out.
First, I'm not sure if there are some parenthesis missing in your update statement because I can't tell for sure whether the statements separated by the 'or' should be considered separately [ as in "(a = b and a=c) or (c = d)" vs "a = b and a = c or c = d" ] or if the logic is exactly as written. My suggestion is based on the idea that the query is exactly as written -- if parenthesis were missing, insert them as appropriate.
My suggestion is to use a join. Even though you say A and B don't have a relationship, they sort of do based on the update statement.
I would suggest that you start with source A and insert an expression operator. You'll send in ValueC, ValueD, ValueG. You create three outputs:
BValueF = nvl(trim(A.valueC),trim(A.valueD))
BValueH = substr(A.valueG,1,2)
NullValue = nvl(trim(A.valueC),trim(A.valueD))
Then add source table B and insert another expression operator. You'll send in ValueF and ValueH. You create two outputs:
TValueF = trim(B.valueF)
TValueH = trim(B.valueH)
Then insert a join operator. For ingrp1, you'll drag over whatever can uniquely identify A and the three outputs from the expression. For ingrp2, drag over ValueB and the two outputs from the expression.
Then your join condition will be
BValueF = TValueF
and BValueH = TValueH
or NullValue is null
and TValueF is null
and BValueH = TValueH
Then add your target table A, set it to update on the unique key. Drag the unique key from the joiner to the unique key on A, and drag ValueB to A's ValueF.
Hopefully this makes sense written out. I didn't test this, but it looks logically correct on paper.
Good luck,
Heather

What is the best option for travellers?

Hello everyone, I am from Peru and will be travelling to the States later this year. My main concern is staying connected while I'm there, so I would like to know if there is a solution for people like me who would like to use the service for a short period of time.
First of, I'm still not sure if Verizon is CDMA only or also GSM, I already own an unlocked GSM phone that I would like to take with me and use while I'm there. I don´t really care for the minutes or texts as much as I do for data, it's what I'm mainly looking for.
I will only be there for 10 days. So, does Verizon offer aything that could suit my needs?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks SuzyQ, you are correct. Verizon is CDMA only.
@vigmak, if you will only be in the USA for 10 days we would recommend our Prepaid service. Click here for more information on our Prepaid service.
Thanks

What is the best option for storing my iphoto library on the cloud?

I was curious as to what people are doing (other than backing up to external HD) for backing up the iphoto library? Anyone using any cloud solution out there for storage? What are some of the best options? I have around 30,000 photos in my iphoto library.

There is no good solution for storing the Library in the Cloud. The amount of data involved means that uploading or downloading is very, very slow. We do see posts on here from people trying to restore from a back up to the Cloud wondering if it's possible to speed up the download currently estimated in days. Running a Library from the cloud is just painfully slow - people have tried it and that is the consensus.
However, as part of a comprehensive back up plan there is a lot to be said for backing up your Photos to the cloud. Not as good as backing up the whole Library, but as a "last line" you at least have your photos. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.

What is the best option for working live off external hard drive?

I have 3 iMacs all networked together and working off 1TB of files stored on an old MacPro. I'm wondering what my best option would be for upgrading moving forward. I need more space (preferable 2TB or more) and I'd like the connection to be as fast as possible. A server seems like overkill ...
I have an external 3TB WD Cloud backing up all of the files, but it's far too slow to work off of live as it needs to 'wake up' every time I ping it.
Would running a 'headless' Mini directly off my router work? Or perhaps attached to one of the iMacs?
Other options?
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Ive always followed the idea that journalling is turned off, so I would follow the advice given and turn journalling off.
In addition I would also make that drive "private" to spotlight so it doesn't search or catalogue there.
If its of interest, I've always formatted my drives in the following way
make 2 partitions,
partition 1 - make this about 10% of the drives capacity and label DO NOT USE
partition 2 - make this the remainder of the capacity
the reason being (So Im told by the drive gurus) is that the first sector contains the volumes boot block - this can get corrupted/damaged so having it partitioned like this means you can erase it safely whilst keeping your media.
Ive followed this for years and it has worked on the few occasions a drive has misbehaved.
cheers
Andy
