What is the best way to go about getting a wireless connection on the go?

Im new to the aple product. I just recently bought a New Macbook Pro and wanted to know what is the best way to go about connecting to the internet while not at home and on the go. I was thinking of maybe a USB internet stick. But dont know who provides them and who would be the best choose to go with for a nice price every month. If that was the best choose in the first place. Im living in the U.S.A so if you could help ill really apprecaite it. THANKS

Hi! I'm writing in beginning of October so I don't know if you've found a solution.
Your MacBook Pro probably has a WiFi card built in. You don't need to have a USB connector.
Turn on AirPort, go to Network and choose the network that is available to you. It might ask for a password, so get it from the cashier. My MBP connects wherever I go, as long as there is a network available.
Good luck.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • Hi I would like to totally reformat my Macbook Pro. What is the best way to go about it?

    I have a Macbook Pro and would like to do a complete reformat. I installed Moutain Lion when it came out and do not wish to pay again since I've already paid. I have OS 10.6.4 discs with me which didnt come with my MB but with my previous one. What is the best way to go about it? I have bootcamp and wish to get rid of it (one of the many reasons of wanting to reformat)
    Thanks

    You can use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Bootcamp Partition  - best way to do it.
    If you use the Recovery Disk Assistant to create a recovery usb thumbdrive you can boot to that and repartition the MacHd and reinstall the OS directly.
    When you purchase the OS you are free to reinstall without repurchasing as long as yo have access tot he Apple Id you used to make the purchase

  • Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
    Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
    Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
    Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
    How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
    A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

  • I have 21,000  photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive.  What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

    I have 21,000  photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive.  What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

    Here's one way to do what you want:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

    what is the best way to learn about galaxie s3 as a complete beginner?  nothing that is taken as a given by other discussions is known by me.  i instantly get lost.

    Do you already have the phone, or are you planning on getting the phone.
    You could sign up for a free workshop at one of your local Verizon stores. You could read the owners manual. You could peruse thru the topics on THIS Verizon site.
    I thought there was a thread which gave a bunch of tips/tricks for the GSIII, but I can't seem to find it. There IS one for the Galaxy Note II which MAY be helpful with the GSIII, though.

    This is a common mistake and I highly advise against it.
    1: TimeMachine saves states of changes and thus requires more room on the TM drive than the boot drive it's backing up.
    2: Something happens to the TM drive, loss, theft, dropped, power surge, etc., you lose both backups.
    3: The storage drive might become a portable need, with it being on the TM drive, now your increasing the risk to the TM backup that something could happen to it along with the storage drive, due to increased movement.

  • What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?

    What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?
    I create worksheets as a teacher and would like to share them from my blog. Currently I am linking to Scribd etc to share PDFs. If I upload the worksheets as an image is there a way to adjust the size/resolution of the PDF for easier viewing? 
    Thanks!

    PDFs are just files. Can you upload files to your blog space? If yes, just upload the PDFs then, in a blog entry, provide the web link (URL) for each file (PDF).
    Or, place the PDFs into your free acrobat.com "files" storage (5GB free). You have one as you have an Adobe ID (needed to make your post here eh).
    https://cloud.acrobat.com/
    You can have acrobat.com provide a "share" link to the PDF. Place that into a blog entry.
    Or - same idea as above (use a "file share" service) -- Microsoft's OneDrive, Adobe's Creative Cloud, Google drive, DropBox, others ...
    Be well...

  • I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

    I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud.  Any thoughts?

    There are two aspects to iCloud.  One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud.  The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
    First to get an iCloud account:
    If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration).  If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
    Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
    To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7).  Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
    The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html  You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
    So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address.  You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

  • Whats the best way to go about learning C?

    I'm an almost complete noob when it comes to programming. I did write a few simple pascal programs about 10 years ago at school, thats about it.
    What I hope to achieve is (hopefully) not that complex, but I'm not sure where to start learning. My reason for wanting to learn is this: I really love MOC (music on console) but I ended up wanting a GUI player which still worked without the mouse. Every one I tried just isnt a patch on MOC, IMO, or just has one or other feature that doesnt work without a mouse. So it occurred to me, I have the source code for all these GUI players and the source for MOC, perhaps I can "modify" MOC and create a GUI version, or alternatively write some kind of front end to MOC.
    So far, I have had a go with Glade and Anjuta IDE, but my knowledge of C being almost nonexistent is making things tough. I'm probably trying to do it wrong anyway, my thought was to create a GUI in glade and make it call functions from the moc source... :?:
    So I need a crash course in C programming with Glade (I think?) and I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is.
    Any tips on how best to learn? I ask here because you all seem to be the most knowledgable group I can think of

    I'm not trying to discourage you, but the idea of Frankensteining all that C source into your own custom GUI music player is likely to cause nothing but hours of frustration. C is a great language for system programming, but for most application software it's far too low level and for most beginners it's far too dangerous (it lets you do bad things that can kill your app in dozens of intersting and extremely hard to debug ways).
    What I would suggest is that you first off break the problem in half. Use a client/server approach. The server does all the low-level heavy lifting of decoding/decompressing the music files and sending them to your audio subsystem. Something like Music Player Daemon (MPD) is perfect for the server part and is specifically designed to be controlled by a separate client program.
    Then all you have to do is write the GUI client of your dreams. For that I would recommend something like Python plus the GUI library of your choosing (Qt, GTK, wxWidgets, etc. all have nice Python bindings). Python is a far easier beginner language than C and can do much more work with much less code. You'll spend less time mucking around looking for memory leaks and invalid pointer references and more time actually making your GUI do useful work Oh, and there just happens to be a Python MPD client library so the task of communicating with the server gets even easier.
