Why should i use Apple 'Mail' if i use others like G-Mail?

Simply: Can or should i just remove 'A-Mail' so it's icon stops jumping & bothering me to sign up?
•THANK YOU, and gratitude to whoever can help me unerstan.
*I'm 67 and not up to speed on such things.
BACKGROUND, if necessary:
•For years I've used only the Mail service of my ISP, Dslextreme ('DSLX').
I've never used Apple 'Mail' , & never set it up to service mail from any of the mail services that i do use.
I never activated 'A-Mail' and i don't think there is mail in it. Nor have i deactivated 'A-Mail', and it's still on my screen in the 'Dock'.
•But from time to time, and inexplicably to me, the 'A-Mail' icon seems prompted to start 'jumping' and wanting me to use it somehow, like sign up for it. This was a minor annoyance so i just clicked to close it and so ignored it and moved on.
This seems to happen when a website i'm on wants me to e-mail them and on their page i seem only have a choice to use 'A-Mail', none other, so i am pre-cluded from communication.
•Just recently DSLextreme switched all us users over to G-Mail.   They turned over their mail operation to GMail and urged us to also getting a G-Account, which i have finally done.
•I know that A-Mail 'works with the most popular email systems' like G-Mail.
•"A-Mail" = Apple's 'MAIL'.   To avoid confusion caused by the generic word 'Mail', I'm going to call Apple's 'Mail' "A-Mail".
I've spent over an hour trying to make my problem clear to you.    I hope i have succeeded.

Apple mail is simply the default email application in OS X. It is not an email service/email address.
Using an email application, you can read all your email in the same place and store them on your local drive.
To answer your question, "Why should i use Apple 'Mail' if i use others like G-Mail?"
You use a mail application for the same reason you use the internet when you could simply drive to the store to buy things or go get a newspaper or go to the library or go to the movie theater, etc.
But from time to time, and inexplicably to me, the 'A-Mail' icon seems prompted to start 'jumping' and wanting me to use it somehow, like sign up for it. This was a minor annoyance so i just clicked to close it and so ignored it and moved on.
This seems to happen when a website i'm on wants me to e-mail them and on their page i seem only have a choice to use 'A-Mail', none other, so i am pre-cluded from communication
because the website is attempting to open your email application.
Sounds like you simply use a web browser to view all your email.
If you want to send an email from a web page, you need to copy an email address, open your email account in your web browser, create a new email and paste the address.

Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in. Example: I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

No, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form another store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the content providers (record companies, film studios etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Why should we select all key fields when using for all entries

Hi,
Why should we select all key fields in our select query when using for all entries statement?
I read about for all entries but this point was not clear in any post.
Please explain me
Regards,
Subhashini

Dear Subhasini,
It is because FOR ALL ENTRIES deletes the duplicate entries before populating the target internal table.
Please do an F1 on FOR ALL ENTRIES & read the SAP documentation.
I mean how duplicate entries will not get deleted when we use this?
Quite simple, if you select all key fields then each entry will be unique & there will not be any duplicate entries to delete !!
BR,
Suhas

Why should I buy Apple TV?

I'm wondering what are the advantages of owning Apple TV? I do not have dvr. I like that I will be able to show items such a pictures from my devices on my tv, but what else can it do for me?

It essentially turns your normal TV into a smart TV (if your tv will support HDMI) Unlike a smart TV you get access to the itunes store which has a greater variety of content than an individual TV manufacturer.
You can surf the web, stream vids, music, and photos (from PC, MAC, iOS) to your tv from your home network or the cloud, use your iphone or ipad as a remote. Buy new content from itunes. (photos from flickr too) Watch netflix, youtube, podcasts, radio, subscribe to some TV / sports channels.
Some legal software and apps can expand on the out of the box functionality.

Why should I purchase Apple TV?

Currently looking at several options on a 'Media Center' solution and I need some input on Apple TV.
Some questions I have:
1. Are you locked into only buying and/or playing Apple proprietary content?
2. Can you plug in a external HD to the Apple TV and have content be played/pulled from there?
<background>
Recently I have been enlightened to convert all our DVDs into digital, mainly because our kids seem to have a bad habit of playing shows over and over...and unfortunately 'scratching' disks and/or ruining DVD players (we've gone through 3 in the last couple of years...SERIOUS).
Any help that can be provided will greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1 - no - while Apple expects most stuff will be bought via iTunes Store, in practice you can convert any video you have to teh h264 format to play on AppleTV. Note there are tight specs for the encoded video but results can be excellent. Full HD 1080i/p decoding is not supported due to horsepower, but you an get up to 720p at 24fps. The decoded stuff is then upscaled to match your TV. Video transcoding can be quite time consuming.
2 - no you can't attach a drive directly. The USB port has no end-user function. You can however stream live across the network via iTunes any compatible files either on the computer, computer attached drives or NAS, though the more complex the data path the better the network has to be for it to work successfully.
People do convert DVDs for playback on AppleTV but as this may be illegal in many countries it cannot be discussed here.

Visa card canceled after using Apple pay. Tried using at Mapco and denied the transaction twice. Then I find out my check card has been canceled. Waiting on new check card from fraud department.

I think Apple pie confused the banks fraudulent alert system and my card was canceled now I have to wait for a new card. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi ..
Make sure the bank that issued your card is listed here > Apple Pay participating issuers

Can't drag mail to trash or other files in Mail in OS X 10.6.1

I started to write a long answer about printer set up and then I found the laptop I was using didn'g work like my desktop and realized that Epson has released an update for its printer driver.
Check your printer drop down box. The one that comes up after clicking print in the Aperture printer window. Click on the options window. It should show "printer settings" in the options drop down window. Thew older driver says something different like printer setup. It is their (under basic) that you can choose media type, color mode, and output resolution. It also has check boxes for 16 bit output, high speed, flip horizontal and finest detail. If you window doesn't have those things you need to update the driver. Rather than issuing a whole new driver epson has a download called common updater. run that and you may find it solves your problem.
One other note: your choice of paper may be constrained by the paper source you select (i.e.manual rear feed.)
Ink choice is constrained by media type
.If that doesn't help I will outline my whole printer flow that works for me.

Re-registering a used Apple product

Why can't Apple simply "link" the serial number of an already registered Apple product instead of blocking it from being re-registered? Allow the re-registering of a used product and link only the serial number without divulging any identifying information or data. That way people purchasing used Apple products can keep track of their products under their Apple ID Account. It does not make sense to disallow re-registering of re-purchased products. I would like to be able to keep track of all my Apple purchases in one place even if they are not covered by warranty. It seems like a huge waste to only be able to use your Apple ID Account if you are under warranty. What about newly purchased applications and music? Why is it such a big deal? Seems like it would enable Apple to keep track of equipment better. I realize this is not their primary goal but if they want to be customer service oriented, it seems like the thing to do. There are millions of used Apple purchasers that could use the service.

But it is really simple. Someone who sells an Apple Product has to give up the ownership by unregistering it. The registered owner can always unregister any mac or mobile device. Do not buy a product, that is still registered to the previous owner. When you buy a product, make sure, that the previous owner has reverted the product to the original state it has been sold:

HT5188 I am using Apple Configurator and would like to put iMovie on our 30 iPads--need redemption codes?

I am finally sucessfully using Apple Configurator. Our teachers would like to have iMovie on the iPads In order to use Apple Configurator I need to have redemption codes. I am at a loss as to how to get these codes. Any suggestions.

You would be wanting VPP codes (volume purchasing plan).Here is where you want to go: http://www.apple.com/education/it/vpp/
Enroll and setup which app or apps you want. After purchasing, apple will send you a vpp spreadsheet that you import into configurator. The guide at the site listed above will help.

Using Apple Pay no longer displays "pay with touch id"

When using apple pay, my iphone used to display "pay with touch id" and when the transaction was approved, the screen would change to say "done" and a green check mark would appear. Last week, I had to take my phone back to factory default and restore apps, music and photos. Now when using Apple Pay, the screen is black, and neither the "pay with touch id" (to indicate that the transaction is in progress) nor the "done" displays, and I cannot tell if the transaction is going through our not.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on?
Thank you.

To be functional, Apple Pay must see the chip it uses, which only exists in the iPhone 6/6+. Touch sensor is a security feature for the iphone 5s itself and is independent of Apple Pay.

Is it ok to use Apple Pay with Bank of America now??

Does any know if BofA is still double charging apple pay users?? Is the problem fixed? (iPhone 6 on 8.1)

They have already addressed the issue and have eliminated any duplicate charges already. In other words it is fine to use Apple Pay with BOA.

Why should i use Apple 'Mail' if i use others like G-Mail?
