What Verizon phone should I purchase?

So, it's time to upgrade my cell phone. I've been with Verizon for many years, & they still get the best reception around New England, as far as I know, so, regrettably, I'd like to stick with them.
I went to the Verizon store yesterday & every thing was PC compatible, & the guy said nothing was made for Macs. This didn't make sense to me for some reason, but I'm new to the whole wireless internet thing with my new iBook.
He recommended the Q phone.
QUESTION: Which phone will communicate with my Apple computers?
Again, as I have posted in other questions, which phones WILL work, not which phones SHOULD work?

I'm using a Nokia 6600 with Salling Clicker installed. See this site:
<http://www.salling.com/Clicker/mac/devices.php>
Salling Clicker is great; it recognizes my phone when I come within bluetooth range and starts playing my iTunes, pauses iTunes when the phone rings or when I make a call, and resumes when I'm done. It also acts as a remote or mouse to control my G5 from anywhere in my shop. Someone comes in, and I turn the volume down with my phone. When I get in my truck to go home at the end of the day, I leave with the music playing and soon as I get out of range, it pauses. It really is just like a refrigerator light- on when I need it.
In regard to a new phone, when I look for one it will be a Nokia running the Symbian OS, possibly an E61, which has WLAN. I will buy an unlocked phone, and simply insert my SIM card from my current phone and start making calls. I'm using T-Mobile, BTW.
Whatever phone you get, make sure it works with Salling Clicker- you'll be glad you did.

What antivirus protection should I purchase for my MacBook Pro? MacSecurity.app appeared on my desktop, and I downloaded that. Since then, it has said my computer is infected and pop-ups have been appearing.

You've been infected by a scam trojan. You don't need any anti-virus software on your Mac. See the following about getting rid of the trojan.
Trojan War
If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
Removing strange software can be a task. The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item. Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall. Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software. This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon. After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon. Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

I have two iMac's one running 10.6.8 and the other 10.8.2 What Apeture program should I purchase?

I have two iMac's one running 10.6.8 and the other 10.8.2 What Apeture program should I purchase?

You can currently only buy the current version Aperture 3.4.3 at the AppStore, and that version requires MacOS X 10.7.5. at least, see the release notes: Aperture 3.4.3
So you will not be able to install this version on your Snow leopard machine. Maybe you can buy a boxed retail version of an earlier release, compatible with Snow Leopard, but the newer version is faster and compatible with iCloud.
Do your iMacs both have the same processors and memory? You will wan to use your fastest mac with the best graphics card and the most RAM to run Aperture, also a large screen would be desirable.

Time to upgrade my BB...What Smart Phone Should I get? Or should I wait?

I'm due for new phone now. I use my old pearl blackberry phone for emails, web, and most importantly syncing my Microsoft Outlook contact, tasks, and calendar. I know the BB does it, but do these other Droids or other smartphone do it? The Blackberry Torch looks perfect (I wish Verizon had it)...I want a full keyboard and touch screen (i.e. like torch) What is my second best choice? Something else coming out in the next few months I should wait for? Again, must be able to sync easily with Outlook. Thanks!

What video card should I purchase for old iMac?

I have an old Mac 24 inch, and it seems that the video card is not working. How do I find which video card to purchase? I have a serial number.

You could take a look into an appropriate repair guide to see what is shown for your model build identifier version of iMac (intel) with a 24-inch display; there were at least three models with that size display. Not a single one, was of PowerPC architecture.

Depending on which one it actually is, could change processes
involved, availability, part numbers, or price of parts.
Good luck & happy computing!

What PDA/Blackberry Should I purchase to be compatible with My iMac G5?

Hi,
I need to buy a new cell phone b/c we are moving, and I think I'd like to try a Blackberry. Can I make it compatible with my iMac, or is there a PDA that you recommend that is better? Unfortunately I have to use Cingular, so I'm limited in my choices, I think.
Thanks!
Jennifer

I purchased a Blackberry and I love it.

My mac air with lion 10.7 was hacked, what security program should i install?

my new macbook air lion 10.7 was hacked, sent an attachment to my contacts what security product should I purchase?

Email address spoofing is very common. It is nearly 100% certain that your email address wound up on someone's Windows computer that has become a victim of any number of potential Outlook address book harvesting attacks.
If you have not done so already, update to OS X 10.7.4. Then, update your profile:
The OS X update alone has nothing to do with your email account. The reason I am suggesting this is that if you haven't updated to 10.7.4, you may not be aware of other recent software updates. Run Software Update.

Got Verizon notice that my kid's phone made a purchase on the internet. Will that purchase be billed to my account?

I have set a family safeguard to notify me when a phone on my account makes a purchase on the internet. I'm a bit confused how this works, because shortly after Verizon texted me the first notice of an internet purchase--there have been two, my kid texted me she would pay me back for it. Nothing has appeared on my Verizon bill, and I find nothing in current usage reports about it. Is this notice just for my information about what my kid is doing? Can she charge a purchase on the internet to my Verizon account?
When I examined the notice settings on My Verizon, I saw that when Verizon notifies me of something I've requested notice about, data usage, for example, it also notifies the phone involved. That's how my kid knew I knew of of the her purchases. I'm thinking now that she misunderstood the notice she got as telling me that Verizon would bill her purchase to my account. I assumed she knew that to be true. I know suspect she made a purchase on line with her debit card and thinks she billed it to me. The good news is my kid is responsible enough to offer to pay a charge she thinks she put on my account. The bad news, for her, is she could be emptying her bank account thinking I've got it covered and she can pay me back a little at a time.
Can anyone confirm that Verizon's notice of an internet purchase via a phone on my account is unrelated to how that purchase is paid? Also--this is the fun part--should I give her a heads up that she's probably spending all of her money, or should I let her learn when she's broke that she needs to understand what she's doing when she spends money. Tough call from my point of view.

Hello Pligrim,
Thanks for reaching out to us today. You have reached out to the right person to help you out today. These are great questions. With the alrets for purchasing apps or ringtones, those alerts are normally triggered when one is billing those charges to the account. What kind of device does your daughter have? How long ago did you receive the alert? If it was within this billing cycle that you are in right now it will not show up until the billing cycle closes for the month. We can always review the account for you to double check to make sure that they are either being charged to the Verizon Wireless acccount or to your daughters bank account.
I requested to follow you, please accept my request and please request to follow me back. Once we are following each other please send me a Direct Message. This way we can go over the account specifics. Hope to hear from you soon.

After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

The warranty says that Apple may restrict service of an iPhone to the country of sale, and any reliable salesperson will tell you that if you tell them that you plan to use the iPhone in another country. Such service restrictions are common with cellphones and are by no means limited to Apple's phones.
Sorry, but if your iPhone requires service, you will need to send it to someone you know in the US who can get it serviced and then send it back to you.
Regards.

What size external hard drive should I purchase

What size external hard drive should I purchase? I'm not tech savvy, so please speak slowly. I'm looking at OWC Mini Stack Classic to match my older Mac Mini. Do I need 500 GB, 1 TB or more? Plus, I have to add memory to upgrade to Snow Leopard. How much memory do I need and should I have an expert install it ?
Mac OSX version 10.5.8
Mac mini 3.1
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
1 Processor
2 Cores
L2 Cache 3MB
Memory 2GB
BUS Speed 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version MM3.1.0081.B06
SMC version 1.35f0
Hard Drive
Format MAC OS Extended
Capacity 297.77 GB
Available 238.69 GB
Used 59.08 GB on disk

Good points raised by all.
In my mini configs - both older and newer flatter model - I have kept their ministack external drive on top of the mini; with 3 or 4 little rubber feet added to the mini's base to give it a bit more elevation from the surface they are sitting on and a bit better chance to breathe. I'm not impressed by the very small air intakes on the bottom and the hot air that often comes out the back or how warm the case feels. Especially in the heat of summer.
I do turn the ministacks on/off as needed (primarily for backups once a week) as they're not entirely quiet and sometimes seem to have a low hum vibration. Nothing crazy. I just like it as dead quiet as possible sometimes. Plus the fan does not turn off even if the mini and ministack drive have shut down. The newer wide & slim model does seem a bit quieter than the older model.
Check through system profiler to see if your system has 2x1GB or 1x2GB. Most likely it is 2x1GB and you'd need to remove both to double your ram. On the off chance it has a free slot; a single 2GB stick would get you to 4GB. Check on the cost difference between the 2x2GB kit and a 2x4GB kit. I have an older core duo mini that functions fine with 2x2GB of RAM and 10.6.8. But, if you plan to continue to use the mini for several more years as a primary machine including upgrading the OS to Yosemite; it might not be a bad idea to just max it to 2x4 8GB. Yosemite really likes RAM to maximize performance.
Along the lines of keeping the same mini and doing upgrades. The biggest speed improvements are made by replacing the original internal hard drive with a flash drive. Of course this is a more technical upgrade, you really need to take the mini apart more and you have to weigh the cost of the upgrades and possibly paying somebody to do them; vs the cost of a newer system which would have a significantly faster processor and other improvements.

What word processing program should I purchase for iMac

What word processing program should I purchase for iMac

Hi
Pages is very good as a Word Processor but it lacks the ability to do Macros if you continually do a repeat operation. For me I cut and paste text from another source and it needs reformatting Font; bold, size, colour every time I do it. It is a real pest.
Many years ago Word Perfect Mac could do this [still the best wordprocessor interface] also [from memory] Apple Works had the ability to record macros.
A current MAC wordprocessor to look at which will do pretty much everything INCLUDING MACROS is Nisus Writer. Express version is $49, Pro version $79 and it has a free 15 day demo.
Cheers

What should I purchase to download my checkbook?

What should I purchase to download and reconcile my checkbook?

I would start with what does your bank support, then look at the selection of software to you. Can you open QFX files in Numbers so you can just download the latest transactions, open in Numbers, select the newest ones, copy, then paste into a file where you keep your transations.

I am using OS 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro, what version of Widows 8 should I purchase so I have an IE browser for some vendors I need to communicate who only have IE browser support?

I am using OS 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro, what version of Widows 8 should I purchase so I have an IE browser for some vendors I need to communicate who only have IE browser support?

but if all you need is to use internet explore and not play 3d games then
using bootcamp is overkill and overcomplex
use a free virtual machine such as virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/
and you'll have IE comming out of your ears in no time

I have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my mphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem? What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Who should open a new account? What will happen to older purchases?

My wife has been using my Apple account for a few years. I also have an iCloud account and used iTunes Match. Now I have my own iPad, and need to "cut off" my family from access to my Apple email, iCloud documents, etc. Who should start a new account - me or my wife? What will happen to our purchases, and what devices will be able to play them?

Hi claybrowne,
iTunes purchases are linked to the Apple ID they are purchased under, so you should keep your account.
There is the option for your wife and family to continue to use your Apple ID for purchases only but have their own Apple IDs for iCloud, but I'm not sure how to stop them from using your Apple ID for other things other than telling them "this is for purchases only, use your own account for everything else."
See "Apple IDs and iCloud", the section "Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases". They can have their own email and Apple ID for FaceTime, Messages, iCloud, etc.
