WIFI IN PLAIN ENGLISH

Hey folks... Cutve 8530 here. For the first time since I bought my BBerry Curve, I was able to use WIFI services but was not sure what that enables me to do. I live next to CVS and this particuar location has services and I figured out how to connect with them.
QUESTION: Would someone please explaim in simple english what WIFI enables me to do???
Thanks to everyone for making my BBerry experience better than my carrier can do...

Hello huntmarv,
Welcome to the world of WiFi.
Connecting your phone to WiFi allows your phone to use all your data sessions through the WiFi connection. The WiFi connection could be your home internet connection, a coffee shop hotspot or a location where public WiFi has been setup.
In short WiFi will let you use any data on your phone on an internet connection instead of through your providers service. This allows you to browse and not worry about a HUGE data charge on your next carrier bill, normally much faster browsing experiences.
Hope this helps,
Euclidics

In plain English - How can I get music from one computer to another?

Honestly guys, I havent a clue! I have purchased music from my work PC, but cant access it from my Home PC. I have read the manuals, but it dosent make sense to me! So, in ordinary, basic, plain English, how do I access it from home?!

If you are using iTunes 7 I think this section from the Apple article is pretty straightforward.
To transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod:
Connect your iPod to the computer on which you bought the items you want to transfer.
Copy the iTunes Store purchases to your iPod.
Disconnect your iPod (click the Eject button next to its icon) and then connect it to the computer you want to transfer the purchases to.
Choose File > Transfer Purchases From iPod.
You could also burn the song files to a data CD or DVD. Once you've burned the disc, take it to your other computer and import the songs into iTunes. Don't forget that regardless of which method you use, both computers have to be authorised to play the songs: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

In plain English can someone tell me how to use the unsubscribe button or get it to show up in the "unsubscribe from mailing list" ad-on?

There's nothing to detail it doesn't work.

In plain English.
If the unsubscribe header the add-on uses is present it shows up in the mail header along with the from Subject to etc. With or Without the add-on. So if there is no entry in the header, then the mail sender does not support that style of unsubscribing. In the United States unsubscribing from a mailing list is troublesome as legislators are either are unable or unwilling to understand the problem. Given the amounts of money involved I will go with the latter.
Any difficulties you have with the actual add-on need to be dealt with by the add-on author The download page list a support link. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/unsubscribe-from-mailing-list/?src=search

User Profile service in plain english

Hello Experts,
could any one please explain in plain English how does User profile services recognize users on SharePoint even if am not configuring the user profile sync service? I mean how SharePoint displaying user display name ? can I get the manager of a logged in
user without using user profile sync service?
please do not answer with link. just I need someone to explain it in his words in plain English
Thanks

When you log into SharePoint you give it a username and password, this might be automatic so you never notice it but it still happens in the background. The UPS then takes that username and creates a UPS entry for that account using information stored in
Active Directory.
If you're not familiar with AD it's normally a generally accessible 'phone book' like collection of user data like username, first name, surname, email address, manager, department and what security groups they belong to.
If you configure the sync service this information is pulled through earlier in bulk rather than on-demand as users log in. You also get a lot more control over what data is used where and how.
It's slightly different if you're using Forms Based Authentication but that's another story.

Is there a plain English guide to sharing iCal Calendars via OSX Server Mountain Lion?

Is there a plain English guide to sharing iCal Calendars via OSX Server Mountain Lion? The present documentation is very limited and of no assistance to a beginner like me.

I don't have a domain set up on OSXServer I just have server.myserver.private. I have no mail services at server.myserver.private. I uses [email protected] (a different server) as the email address in the setup process.
When I go to share the calendar it requires a valid email address, rather than [email protected], so I enter my email address as a test, I try many other email addresses too but the server responds with an error stating " (email adress) was not recognized by the server. A new invitation has not been sent.

Business Rules to Plain English

I remember hearing about this software to convert rules to plain English so users will understand them. Is this out there ?
Thanks much for any help.

I know of an object parser that extracts business rule information into document form - http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2012/11/prweb10172583.htm

What is Silverlight? In Plain English, Please.

Referring to: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7472851
Do you know what I wish? I wish, just for once that a simple and concise description of what a product is and what it really can do could be posted right up front, on the landing page, or at most one link deep. Not the marketing hype, not the techno-speak,
not the jargon. Just a plain simple description of what the thing does, what it is. That would be really nice. Because, all I see on the pages I have visited from the link above is just that, techno-speak, jargon and hype.
Look. I get lots of e-mails, every day. So, I get one from Microsoft indicating this new product, Silverlight, is available. It sounds interesting, The graphics sure are nifty. So, I click on the link to see if it is something I am interested in.
I mean, "Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web." is a nifty one-liner. But, it really does not say much. It means nothing to most
people. (Not everyone who receives MS e-mails is a top-level multi-certified techno-geek!)
There ought to be a link titled something like "What is Silverlight." This link would lead to plain-English description of the product. Again, cut the techno-speak. Provide a concise description of the product, what it can do, how it does it and stuff like
that. Let me decide if it really is as fantastic as the marketing department wants me to think it is. Look, I'll give you 5 or maybe 10 minutes of my time to read through your descriptions, and then I will decide if it is so great that I want to invest considerable
time and energy learning how to work it. And, if there is a cost involved, whether it is something I want to shell out the going rate for.
How about it? Think about it. Can someone have the balls to just cut the techno-speak, jargon and marketing hype and give it to us in plain English? Please.

Thanks for your response. Okay, so it's a platform, not a "product." Semantics. Do you understand my point? Too often it seems that product/platform descriptions are written with so much jargon and techno-speak that unless one is fluent in the jargon
it is difficult if not impossible to quickly understand what a new product is. (Product being a generic term here to point at the new thing.) You see, in your reply you have begun to describe it in terms more easily understood. That is precisely
my point. Too often when companies, MS and others, attempt to describe their products they use a barrage of jargon and techno-speak that makes if very difficult to understand in simple terms what the product actually does. I know, everyone wants to keep
up with the competition and impress with their command of fancy terms. But, good effective communication is not about jargon. It is about describing in clear terms so that people in a busy world full of time constraints and demands for our attention can
gather information, distill it and make decisions as to what new products to understand, learn and implement. That is my point. My point is not a question. My point is a heads-up to remind folks that it is important to communicate clearly and with precision.
Marketing is great, but useless if folks can't get the information they need to understand and make decisions. We live in a world saturated with information. Clouding information with jargon and techno-speak may appear impressive but it hinders the effective
delivery of information. Also, please don't assume I'm asking for "baby terms." I'm not. I can understand what something like Silverlight does. But too much jargon gets confusing and results in my either spending extra time trying to understand the jargon
or simply deciding it's not for me and moving on to something else. Of course, all of us working in the various IT endeavors must use a certain amount of technical terms that are short and understood by those in our various industries. (I'm no newbie, either.
I've been working with and understanding these silicon wonders since the early 1980s. I also have two college degrees, one in computer science. So, I'm no idiot. I'm just not current on every single frigin' term that companies and techno-geeks come up with
in the ever changing landscape of new terms, processes, products, platforms and other techno-stuff.) But, even then, we need to be careful that we communicate clearly and effectively. That is a skill, and art, that, like any skill, requires working at it,
polishing the skill and efforting it. So, there's a balance between using jargony terms and overkill. The art is finding the balance. Again, it's not a question as much as it is a point to be made.

Displaying SQL Exception errors in plain english

Hi,
How can I display SQL Exception errors in plain english. For example how would I display:

Name already exists!

Newbie question: how do you reset the router; in plain English please

I need some help in plain English please. The router stopped working and maybe just needs a reset. I tried reading http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ios-nx-os-software/ios-software-releases-123-mainline/46509-factory-default.html, but I don't understand the first thing. It's a Linksys E2500. Is this even the right forum?

You are reading a Nexus IOS guide. Nexus is a carrier grade switch so don't mind that. Try this instead.

Iris Pro vs. GT 750M in the 21.5" iMac - in Plain English please

Hey!
I'm about to go Mac at the office.
I was gearing up to make the purchase then I see there is yet another choice to make...
Iris Pro vs. GT 750M
I've read a bit on forums but it all seems way beyond my techie abilities.
So in plain english will I notice a difference if I get the cheaper model?
We mainly work with of Microsoft Office, internet apps and occasional Adobe stuff.
I've found my Macbook Pro 2012 perfect fast for most of my tasks.
Thanks!

Iris pro is basic "good enough to get the job done" hardware to run the display. Its part of the CPU and does very poorly with 3D rendering.
750M is an actual separate graphics processor with its own dedicated memory and the power to animate 3D graphics at full speed.
If your Macbook Pro feels "fast enough" for you, the Iris will be "good enough" as well.

HT204053 iCloud set-up in plain english?

I have an iMac, Macbook Pro and an iPhone 4.
I want to sync my mac mail, address book & a shared folder on all 3.
I was in the Apple store the other day getting a replacement iphone. The assistant setup an iCloud account using my company email address then backed up my old phone (email & contacts) and downloaded onto my new one before replacing.
I want to use my iMac as my primary machine & sync all 3 devices so I dont have 3 different copies of mail anymore.
Can anyone help me to setup this simple yet confusing service in plain english???
Thanks in advance.
<Edited by Host>

Welcome to the Apple community.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
You will need to set up iCloud on all your other devices (except your phone, which was done at the store). You can do this by using the Apple ID and password, that the person in the store used to create your account and entering them at system preferences >iCloud on your Mac and settings >iCloud on your iOS devices. In each case select the services you want to use from iCloud in the iCloud settings.

Are the memorized passwords in plain english? See Sallie Mae Website

I was just on the Sallie Mae payment website and they have a warning that memorized passwords can be accessed in plain English. I thought the passwords were suppose to be secure and encrypted. Is there an update that needs to be installed. Very concerning.

They stored encrypted in signons.sqlite even if you do not use a MP, but having access to the key3.db file is sufficient to decrypt them and the Password Manager will also show them if you copy the two files to another profile folder or computer.
The names and passwords stored in signons.sqlite are encrypted with a Triple DES key (CBC mode) that is stored in key3.db and a master password adds an additional level to this encryption.<br />
If you do not use a master password then having access to key3.db and signons.sqlite is sufficient to have access to the encrypted names and passwords by placing the two files in a Firefox profile folder.<br />
Always use a strong master password (e.g at least 12 characters) that can't be easily guessed or found via a dictionary look up or a script and you should be safe.<br />
Make sure that you remember that master password or else all your passwords are lost.<br />
You always need the matching file key3.db that was used to create a signons.sqlite file to make it possible to decrypt signons.sqlite.

SE97 and table TCDCOUPLES in plain english please....

Guys... can anybody please explain to me in plain english what SE97 and table TCDCOUPLES shows me! I read the "called transaction" thing, but can't comprehend the meaning. E.g. if I enter PFCG in SE97 there is a long list of funny transactions.
Is this a log of transactions called once in PFCG? Or possible transactions called from buttons, ect. from in PFCG? Or is it all the transactions from where you can call PFCG?
What do I need to do in connection with SU24 and creating roles?
/vitofava

Often transactions link to other transactions via drilldown, buttons, views etc.
Where SAP uses CALL TRANSACTION for this link we can use SE97 to force a check on S_TCODE or to ignore the S_TCODE check.
An example: MM50 allows the extension of a an material master for other org units.
As standard MM50 calls MM01 for this and any users with MM50 also require MM01. It is a common situation where MM50 is required by users but MM01 is not suitable. In this case you can use SE97 to set MM01 as "do not check".
Users can access MM01 functionality when called through MM50 but do not require MM01 in S_TCODE. If they try to run MM01 they will get an authorisation as it is not access through/coupled with MM50.
Like SU24, SE97 isn't completely accurate and a lot of it depends on use etc. Recently I saw a scenario where particular (legitimate) use of MM02 required S_TCODE for SM30, which on this particular instance wasn't one of the default entries in SE97/TCDCOUPLES
The parallel with SU24 is that you can switch off some checks on S_TCODE for linked transactions in the same way you can switch off some auth object checks for a transaction in SU24

TS1702 In plain english how do you download past error message 0x800B0101

In plain english how do you download past error message 0x8ooB0101?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
