What to do with MDD once I get another computer ?

Anyone got any ideas about what I can do with my very trusty MDD once I get my new G5 ?
Should I use it as an extra hard drive by connecting it with a FW cable ?
Or better to us as a server ?
Thanks
WP

If you have OS X installed, you can just turn file sharing on in system prefrences, and use a fast connection to connect the machines.
I have a Mac Mini that serves my Powerbook, a G5, and several Windows machines. The Mini runs 10.4.3 Client. Works just fine. Let me know if you need any more help.
I have found it easy do this on a small scale.
Good luck!

What to do with iTunes when you get another iPod?

My daughter has an iPod mini that is completely filled up. For her birthday, she want to get a new 30G iPod.
The thing I am wondering about it whether or not she will be able to use her current iTunes library with the new iPod. I would not want to see her start from scratch, as that would just take up more room on her hard drive.
Can you use iTunes with more than one iPod?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually an iPod can be used on multiple computers and multiple iPods can be used on a single computer so you'll be fine when you get your new one. You may not want to do anything too complicated but there's a lot more about it here: "How to use multiple iPods with one computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432

If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

Lion will run on most Intel machines. It will not run on the following machines:
MacBook Pro (sold before October 2006)
MacBook (sold before November 2006)
Mac Mini (sold before August 2007)
iMac (sold before September 2006)
It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo (or later CPU). Those machines listed above were all Intel Core Duo machines and with the exception of one of the Mac Minis, an Intel Core Solo. So we're talking 4+ year old machines. I have not tested Lion on a machine with anything less than 2GB of RAM.
Wikipedia has a pretty good public summation of what's known so far and it's quite accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
The biggest thing of note so far is that you cannot install/run Rosetta. Which maybe problematic for some users.

I am having trouble with syncing my iPhone to another computer and I can't change the settings on the other computer to 'manually manage.....' because the computer is not working!

I am having trouble with syncing my iPhone to another computer because the computer that my iPhone is currently synced with is not working

You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer. If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
What "trouble" are you having?

Can I open a E-book, which is linked with Adobe Digital Editions On another computer of Mine?

I Have an Ebook, Which can be opened only by using Adobe Digital Editons,
Thus, i downloaded the adobe digital Editons, and authorised it without Adobe id and Passdode..
But now, i found out that i cant open the file in another computer of mine...Is there a possibility for me to open the ebook in another computer of mine
Any Help is appericiated...Thanks in advance :

You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH APPLE. IM GETTING SICK!! NO SIM CARD??!!

Hello,
I recently had my bro in law order me an ipad online.
When we got the receipt 1 day later , everything was wrong on it.
They had sent us a receipt for an ipad 2 wifi ( not 3g ) .
I called them and they confirmed that it was a "glitch" in the system & that we had gotten the 3g and re sent us the correct receipt. With all the correct information along with the "ROGERS IPAD SIM CARD - ONLINE-CAF" written , thus confirming that I was supposed to get a Rogers sim card with my order .
When it arrived today we got the 3g , but low and behold , no sim card !!! I had to drive to the nearest future shop and pay 10$ for the wrong sim card. I got home , tried to activate it and Rogers would not let me unless I went on a MONTH TO MONTH basis with them aside from being on a pre - paid - the problem was that sim card - as future shop , best buy , etc have been assigned certain sim cards for 3g plans on a pre paid basis. I was given the sim card for month to month. So there goes 10$ for a sim card I did not even need. That is not my issue , my issue is how apple is not proffessional. I honestly think we were sent the wrong ipad the first time but they caught it in time before it was sent out to me, and forgot to add the sim card.
I really do not want to go to Apple ( downtown ) and be asked to pay 10$ for something I initially was supposed to receive for free. Should I take my receipt with me and my ipad just to confirm to them that I got the Ipad on the 12th , just to be on the safe side as they dont generally hand out sim cards about serious investigations.
Or should I call customer service for Apple online and give them crap, make them send me free stuff to make it up to me - because its seriously caused a headache and i cannot stand bad customer service reps or someone that messed up my order and then blames it on a damb fake glitch!
Regards,
H.

sorry the quote
" about serious investigations "
i do not know what I was trying to say lol - ignore it.
Its supposed to be " apple store doesnt generally hand out sim cards ".
I had a friend that went there and got a free sim card no questions asked , and another friend went and they told her she had to buy a product. It depends on what staff is on. But i'v got proof i never received a sim card because on my receipt it says ROGERS SIM CARD. But on the delivery box , where it says " whats in the box" - it only mentions an IPAD , no SIM CARD . A sim card is considered a product since it has value, and I never received it. I do not think I should be paying another 10$ for a sim card I was supposed to get for free. Unfair and Unprofessional on Apple's part.

I can't access half of my downloaded music. I get a message, "can't locate file" What is up with that? I dauthorized my computer and reloaded itunes, but it did not solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I can't access half of my downladed music. I get a message, "can't locate file." I dauthorized my computer and reloaded itunes, but it did not help. Any suggestions? Thank you.

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

HT4864 What is up with iCloud? - cannot get email. Cannot get onto icloud.

Apple Support seem oblivious to this. Anyone else encountering and iCloud issue this am?

Thanks -- I haven't gotten through to Optimum yet, but I suspect this issue is on their end. I've taken the following diagnostic measures, all with no success:
1) Reset modem and router
2) Plug computer directly into the modem, bypassing the router
3) Edit the /etc/hosts to force imap.mail.me.com to a server I know works from connecting to it on Time Warner Cable
I can confirm the iCloud services work just fine when I'm on 3G (turn WiFi off on your iPhone or iPad; or tether your mac to your iPhone).
Hopefully this gets resolved quickly - though I'm sure at this point Optimum is still likely to point the finger at Apple, who will (rightfully) point it right back at Optimum.

Can I still use CS3 and what is the cost to update or get another licence?

Hello, I still have DW CS3, however I have not used it for awhile now. My questions are below.
Is it still usable? and or how outdated is CS3?
What is the cost to upgrade to the current version and where is the best place to purchase if I should decide to?
I currently have it installed on 2 machines. How do I uninstall it on one of the machines to be able to install it on a 3rd machine?
Thank you in advance for any help with these questions...very much appreciated.

1. It's usable but very outdated by modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards.
2. There is no upgrade option, it's too old. You can purchase CS6 which is now 5 versions back from the current Creative Cloud version (CC 2014.1.1). CS6 is no longer receiving updates either so for the most part it's an "as is," legacy software. Or you can join the Creative Cloud and get the very latest DW for approx $20/month.
3. No matter which product version you have, a single license allows you to have DW installed on only 2 machines at one time. However, you can use only one at a time. If you want to install on a 3rd machine you must deactivate one of your others or purchase another product license. But CS3 is no longer offered or supported by Adobe. It's too old.

What do i have to do to get another person information out of my icloud

What should i do about this problem. My grandpa has all his stuff in my icloud with made me purchase a bigger icloud. I need help. I want him to use his own stuff and put it in his own icloud

He needs to get his own AppleID and create his own iCloud account. Then delete your iCloud account from his device and login with his own. You can then delete his backups and items from your own account.

I have upgraded to CS5, what to do with CS3 now sitting in my computer?

I hope there is someone out there that can help because, even though Adobe took my money, they refuse to give me support because I live in Europe but committed the cardinal sin to buy Photoshop in the US.
Perhaps this is a dumb question, but I need the hard disk space and I'm unsure if it's OK to remove my old Photoshop CS3 version still sitting on my computer after ugrading to CS5. My other concern is the activation code for my old CS3 that was used to authenticate and register my upgrade - what about that? If it's OK te remove CS3, should that be de-activated before I un-install CS3?

You can use CS3 Help menu to Deactivate CS3 before you un-install it the will allow you to install it in the future should you find a need. Yes you can un-install CS3 to recover a little disk space. You can also find where Adobe stores you CS3 Preferences and delete these also. However I would suggest that you should leave CS3 installed. There are Bugs in CS5 that are not in CS3. Bugs with Device drivers and GPU support as well as a bug in the action palette's player.

PSE 4.0 with photos on EHD; getting new computer

Hi-
I'm using PSE 4.0 on a PC running XP. I have all of my photos on an external hard drive, but the software and catalog info is on the internal hard drive. I want to order a new PC that will run Vista, and I'd like to keep my photos on the external hard drive that they are now on. How can I get the catalog info moved over to the new PC, and do this smoothly without losing all of my tags, labels, etc.? Do I have to make sure that the hard drive keeps the same letter name when I move it to the new PC? If so, how do I do that? How do I find the catalog file on my pc's hard drive so that I can move it to the new one?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

The catalog file is saved with .psa extension. You can search for this file and copy it to the new PC. The ideal way to move the catalog to new PC is to backup the catalog and then restore it to the new PC. This can be done by selecting File->BackUp Catalog and then selecting File->Restore Catalog on the new machine. Hope this helps. If you need more detailed steps, I can send them too.

What is this turn your iPhone in get another one free?

iis this real?

I looked it up. It's basically just a lure to get you to trade in your old iPhone. When you trade it in, you get a Verizon Wireless Gift Card which you can use toward the purchase of your new iPhone. You'd have to either sign up for a new contract, or be eligible for an upgrade. Of course you'd need to get at least $200 from your trade in to receive a "Free iPhone 6" (the $199 16GB one) - and even then, of course that doesn't count toward sales tax or anything else.
