Yikes! Moving tomorrow, don't know how to keep hi-speed int. while 'homeles

Hi - sorry to post this if these are redundant or foolish or otherwise lame questions!
How do I maintain hi-speed internet access for my PowerBook G4 while I am travellling and betwenn permanent addresses?
I have had cable or DSL through a cable service or home-phone service so long that I just realised I have no clue what to do for my short-term dilemma.
I'm turning to this board because my conundrum involve various providers, I don't know what I should cancel, change or what!
Nor do I expect to get straight information out of said providers.
I'll try not to 'name names" on the providers to keep feelings out.
Here's my scene:
We are moving out of state - today.
We won't have a permanent address until January 05, 2007
Our present set-up is:
Cable internet access and Cable TV through my Cable Provider.
Internet account is an ISP that goes through my local cable provider.
Phone service is a Voip that connects through my Internet access.
My email address is a .mac so I know that's that's ok.
Significant Other refuses to give up his email address as he's had it forever.
That adress is .ourcurrentISP.com
Other Issues:
Our ISP is really a drag to deal with, takes hours to get often useless or wrong info.
I don't have a contract with them now so cancellation fees are not an issue.
I would prefer to limit our involvment to bare minimum; just for the email address, if possible.
OUr local cable can probably suspend or move our account to wherever we are moving but that is still a few weeks away.
The Voip has been easy to deal with so I suppose that isn't too much of a hassle to figure out.
SO: How do I get high-speed internet access for my Powerbook G4.
PS: I'm pretty lingo-illiterate, especially when moving cross-country during busy holiday week. heh.
Thank you thank you.

Check http://www.jiwire.com/ for a listing of hotspots in your area. It also lets you search for hotspots which are free.
Note your outgoing mail server is going to be the tricky part to immitate at hotspots, as many block this unless you use password authentication with your old e-mail server over port 587 or 2626. However, you can use webmail setups such as http://www.3wmail.com/ and http://www.mail2web.com/ if you need access to e-mail during that period.
Also some of the free hotspots require using Firefox to establish a connection with their wireless router. Using Safari will get you a server not found until that connection is established. Such is the case with Panera Bread's free wireless access in Silver Spring, Maryland. Firefox is a browser you can download from http://www.mozilla.org/

  • My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

    My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games.  Is it hardware or software problem?

    I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers.  With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan.  Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone.  I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem.  I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

  • When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object?

    When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object? The clip color turns purple and it only allows me to add motion but not change the clip duration and speed anymore.

    Thanks for the reply and as a work around method I used the Photoshop to do all the adjustments then export the video to iMovie to finish the final cut. I also have a problem to paint or clone on a blank video layer created in Photoshop. It tells me the time is beyond the target frame time, I don't understand the message. Can you explain to me what did I do wrong? Thanks a lot!

  • I don't know how to keep info on iPhone from being erased while sync?

    I had to format my c: drive and now I'm wanting to sync my phone but it informs me that all data will be erased when syncing. How can I get around this?

    Restore the data on the computer from the backup of the computer.
    You did backup the data on the computer before formating it, correct?  Not doing so would be extremely dumb.
    iPhones are NOT backup devices.

  • My sync key is still the same and I didn't even reset the sync but my data is lost. I don't know how? I installed v13.0 while I was using 14.0 earlier.

    I had only one device where I used the Firefox Sync. I installed Windows 8 release preview(fresh install) and entered the sync key I saved using the previous install of my Firefox(v 14.0).
    Then I installed Firefox on my Windows 8 installation with an older version of Firefox(v 13.0).
    I got a message saying it was your first sync, but I have used it earlier also. Many times I have synced my laptop with the data on the server after every fresh install and it worked. I got all my data every time but this. Now, I tried it twice by removing this device from my sync list, but of no use. And I'm sure I haven't reset the data on sync server. And no one except me has access to my laptop and even the sync key.
    Do I have any chance of getting my data? Whether be it by installing again v14.0 or something else. I will really appreciate for any help given.

    Hi!
    Unfortunately Sync is not intended to use as a back up service. While in general it works just fine, data in the servers is not there permanently and sometimes it get's deleted (servers are just for transport not for storage).
    My recommendation moving forward is to create a local back-up or to sync another device so you have the copy in multiple devices.
    Sorry about it,

  • I have recently needed to reimage my computer. As a result I needed to reload Firefoix. I backed up the "Mozilla Firefox" and "Profile" folders but don't know how to recover my speed dial settings. Can anyone help?

    I have downloaded the speed dial add-on and placed the previously mentioned folders in the proper directory.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, there are useful links in there even if you don't have a device.

  • Does anyone know how to keep all songs in the same album when they say featuring someone?

    Each time I load a CD onto Itunes that has an artist who features another artist on that particular song, it puts it in my library as a separate CD even though it will have the same album listed.  For instance Lady Gaga's song just dance features Colby O'Donnis that song is in its own spot while the rest of the cd is together that one song is separate and I don't know how to keep them all together.  Someone help.

    Get the Informations for that song and have a look in the "Sorting" area if there is something different. The data inserted there is just for how iTunes will order the songs.
    If the Interpret in the general informations is "Lady Gaga" and in the sorting area is "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx" than you'll see Lady Gaga as the interpret but it's sort to a second entry "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx".

  • My scrollbar unexpectedly has moved to the left side of the screen (only in Firefox), and I don't know how to move it back

    my scrollbar has unexpected moved to the left side of the screen in stead of the right side, and I don't know how to move it back. This only occurs in Firefox.

    Set the pref layout.scrollbar.side to ''2'' to place the scroll bar at the right side.

    Hi, Robert here, I moved to US from Singapore and I would like to switch itunes so I can purchase a book but I don's know how? Please help!

    I believe you mean to say that you wish to switch which country's iTunes Store you are accessing. Go to iTunes Store > Change Country (all the way at the bottom) to do this. You'll have to use up all of your iTunes balance to do this. Post back if this is not what you wanted to do.

  • Yikes - I "poofed" my user icon and I don't know how to restore it!

    First, I accidentally "poofed" my fan-out folder that's next to the trash (i.e. pulled it off the dock and it disappeared). I tried to restore it by dragging the little house icon with my user ID from a Finder window, but it just "poofed" that as well!
    Although I can still find my files if I do a search for them, I don't know how to access them directly. Can anyone help??
    Thanks --
    Christine

    Thanks -- it worked. I dragged the original icon and not the alias in the finder window, so I guess that was the difference.
    I feel dumb, but the problem is solved, so I won't linger on it.

    Hello
    Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
    With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
    I was like ????#$%?&*(???
    Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
    Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! -  is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
    The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
    How to disable it ??
    Simple question - can't find the answer !

    Helllooo !?
    sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
    Thanks !!

  • Why does my Imac screen slide and I lose my screen?  It goes back to my desktop.  Then sometimes my screen goes to full screen and I don't know how to get out of it.

    Why does my Imac screen slide and I lose my screen ~ It goes back to my desktop.
    Then sometimes my screen goes to full screen without me doing any commands, and I don't know how to get out of it without going to force quit and starting all over. 

    Hi,
    When it goes full screen try moving the mouse up to top right of scren & see if there a double diagonal Arrow to click on.
    On the other see if it's the silly implentation of Spaces/Mission Control/Expose in ML...

  • I made an iMovie but don't know how to create a DVD

    I made my first iMovie on my Macbook Pro which has the latest OS and iMovie software...but I don't know how to get it onto a DVD (or some other storage device). It is 3 hours long, so I started to finalize the project this morning and the countdown clock said 16 hours remaining when I left home this morning...yikes.
    Any guidance/suggestions/resources would be deeply appreciated. I bought high capacity blank DVDs that hold 240 minutes of video, but I feel like I am doing something wrong, here.
    If it helps, this is a school project that I have to mail to the instructor, so video sharing apps aren't an option.
    THANK YOU!
    Elizabeth

    To create a video DVD you need to use iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    You need to purchase an external drive and start moving some files to it or you can try trashing some files that you no longer need.
    Download OmniDiskSweeper and see where your larger files are... you can move them to an external drive or trash them: it's up to you.
    I would also begin, since it's obviously don't have backups, a backup scheme or two. See Most commonly used backup methods.
    Good luck,
