You know your turning into a geek when........

.......... you get to CompUSA and start to drool over a PSU. HAHA Thats what I did tonight. Went in looking around for some new goodies, when I happen to look up on a shelf with a few over so-so power supplys, and saw they had an "Ultra X-connect 500w" PSU. Then my little beedy (sp) eyes started to glaze over, palms started to sweat, heart started racing. I looked around to make make sure there wasn't another geek or two gonna come up and grab one of these little gems out of my little sweaty hand. Anyway, you get the idea.
Man, I really must say, these are some killer PSU's. I just got my system back up after installing it, and it must be my imagnation or something, but my whole system is freak'n acting a hell'va lot snappier. I checked the voltages and its holding just over the numbers on all rails, steady as a rock. Sweet look'n little unit too. With a mirrored chrome finish, UV reactive cables, and was one of the best packed boxes I've seen a PSU come in. Ok, I like it, ok? hehe. Gonna run some tests and see if I can get a few more Mhz now.
Ok, dam it! I'm a believer now..... as well as a geek, it looks like.

Paul Foster, Cool man, Thanks
devil28, Before I used a Antec truepower 430, and a smartpower 450. Both of which have served me well, but still didn't quite cut it when it comes to powering this system. Imagination or not, I can run a a higher O/C and with tighter timings than I could before, I'm running the 4 dimms in my sig at DDR 400 O/C'd with tight as tight a timings as I could with just two dimms at the same freq. on either of those two PSU's I mentioned. Also, the Sata connectors now come packaged in the newer shipments. Although CompUSA last night had the older ones, but thats not a problem to me.... My HD has both type of connectors. Also, Ultra is shipping out the Sata connectors free to those that buy without them packaged in. The only slight issue I had with the cables is the length. In my case, it was kinda a tight fit, but still worked out wonderfully. Next week I'm gonna get one of the huge a$$ CoolerMaster server cases that CompUSA has... and I mean HUGE.... Awesome case... just can't recall the model atm. I'll look it up.

You know your using a toy router when....

You know your using a toy router when it warns you not to click the "advanced settings" because its complex!
A sign might as well be waved in front of you saying:
YOUR A MORON DONT CLICK ADVANCED
The irony of this is though, there are no settings of real use in the advanced section anyway and clicking it is in fact pointless. A sign might as well be waved in front of you saying.
CLICK HERE FOR POINTLESS ADVANCED BUTTON

Latest bugbear of the HH2;
You know you're using a toy router when you can't even define static routes!
OK so a lot of people won't need/understand it but couldn't it have been left in? I've now got two choices, I either use the HH2 crack (does it still work) so I can gain telnet access and add the route there, or change router.
Neither of which I particularly want to have to do just to get my VPN working the way I want it to.

How do you get your contacts into groups?

how do you get your contacts into groups?

When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
Repeat as necessary for other groups.
Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge?

When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge ?

Not necessarily...
iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

How do you know your wireless is secure?

I want to know how you know your internet is secure so no one in your neighbor hood can steal or hack my internet service. A few people in our house use a mix between ethernet cable and wireless. I don't use the wireless so i don't know how you set it up on the computer but when you use wireless for the first time to you have to enter a user name and password to access? I just want to make sure its secure. Thank you

Prevent someone from hacking your network.. simple, dont use wireless at all and turn the wireless on the router off. Thats the only option to prevent hacking. All other security settings like WEP, WPA, WPA2 will only slow a hacker down. They will not stop them.
Now if you want wireless, then your only option is to use encryption. Again this will only slow hackers down. But the chances you have a hacker next door is rather remote. Now by default the Verizon router uses WEP security. This is just the basics. Keeps honest people honest. Now if you want to increase your security, you can change the router security to WPA2. Dont worry about WPA as this is basically the same as WEP in terms of security effectiveness. WPA2 is more secure than the other two. This will keep you safe from the novices. Then as long as you dont have an advanced computer user nearby you should be fairly safe.

Have i-Tones account that has reached 5 computer limit. Need to "deauthorize" other computers but can't because had to turn into my company when I retired. What do I do??

Have i-Tones account have reached 5 computer limit. Need to "deauthorize" other computers but can't because I had to turn into my company when I retired. What do I do??

I quote:
To deauthorize all computers associated with your account
If you find you have reached 5 authorizations, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen.
Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers, or if you have used this option within the last 12 months. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact the iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/).
Once you have done this you can re-authorize the computers you need to.

HT201303 What about if you know your password, but forget the answers to my security questions?

What do you do when you know your apple ID and password, but forget your security question answers? It won't let me purchase any music without answering them.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

How do you make your data into a chart?

How do you make your data into a chart?

Dick,
Your table should look like this:
You're looking at 1 Header Row and 1 Header Column. Headers are shaded by default. Adding a shading to a regular column doesn't make it a header. Use the Table Inspector.
When you Select the data and Insert a Table, you will get this:
Got it?

If you know your password to iTunes but forgot your sercurity questions how would you change them?

If you know your password to iTunes but don't know your sercurity question answers how do you change them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    2.    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    3.    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

What happens when you take your iPod into the apple store for battery replacement?

I am taking mine in tomorrow. How do they decide if your battery is bad enough to get the iPod/battery replaced? What do they do with your iPod? Do they mess with the apps and data?? Do they search your history to see what you've done on it? HELP!

By reading the following, Apple exchanges your iPod for a refurbished (includes new battery) iPod. Data is no preserved/restore to the replacement
Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ
Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, or after-market personalizations. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data.
Attention iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod touch and does not offer any data transfer service.
Following service your replacement iPod touch may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.
However, I have heard in this forum that sometimes Apple will just replace the battery.
If you are concerned I would do one fine sync/backup and then go to Settings>General>Reset>Ease aall content and settings.
