They all do need an account with Live 365 though. I would consider that subscription enough, even though it's free.

I did download it from the App Store. But I'm sorry, I'm a real newcomer to this kind of thing. Where did it go? It's underRadio in iTunes but I can't find an interface that lets me play anything. I synched my iPhone but the App did not appear there. How do I actually use it? I used to have a friend who had a station there, so I have an account, but I can't find anyplace on iMac or iPhone to sign in.
Can someone explain in baby talk how to use this thing I downloaded from the AppStore?

Lion problems
Posted by: "Joan B Sax Ph.D." jsax@me.com joan05061
Wed Nov 9, 2011 2:04 pm (PST)
Well, I installed Lion and so far, so good. I followed religiously the advice of the "Take Control" people, both the Upgrading to Lion and the Using Lion. But, I have a few questions and a caveat. My main concern is what happens to my Mail, Address Book, etc. if I use iCloud. The warning I received at the Apple website was something about Calendar, Mail and Address Book not being able to by synched after moving to iCloud. What I am wondering is if I can still get my mail downloaded on my computer rather than going to the Apple website to retrieve my mail. I have Mail set to delete on the website once downloaded to my computer. Would that no longer work? I don't find the Apple website mail server as useful to navigate as Mail on my computer. Of course when I am away from my main computer and using my laptop or iPhone, I would be happy to have my mail left on the server.
As for the caveat, the Take Control of Using Lion person suggested using Launchbar (a stand alone app. not to be confused with Launchpad) to open applications using the keyboard, which I like a lot (the more keyboard and the less trackpad the better for our wrists) but the normal keyboard stroke for opening Launchbar is Command-Space, which also is the shortcut for changing one's keyboard. So I had a frustrating few moments when I kept thinking I was opening the app and instead I was changing my keyboard to a French keyboard (see under Keyboard Preferences keyboard shortcuts) and therefore the letters I pressed were not producing correct letters. I had to disable the keyboard preferences shortcut to use Launchbar, but it is worth it.

I think it should work Kim, even though it isn't really a supported configuration.
But, unfortunately, no-one can give you a definitive answer until it is actually tried on your hardware configuration.

I installed Lion with Bootcamp running XP in a Windows partition and had no problem. When I reboot holding the OPTION key, the Windows partition shows up and boots with everything intact. I can't guarantee what will happen for you, but all worked well with my MacBook Pro.

It is definitely NOT fixed. I am now up to six Apple IDs, and two of them have different passwords depending on what service I'm trying to use.
It's just a JOKE. And Apple is no help at all.
I'm giving up one one service after another out of sheer frustration.
It's a disaster.
I keep getting emails from clients saying they can't log in to this or that any more.

See:

"For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it's important to

recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use
would be a commuter who uses her notebook on the train, then plugs it

I am somewhat surprised that Apple recommends charging and discharging
these lithium batteries once a month. Everything else I have read on
them suggests otherwise. There is a good primer at
http://robwitham.hubpages. com/hub/Lithium- Ion_Battery_ Maintenance
Part of the text reads:
Lithium-Ion batteries are also low-maintenance batteries. One of the
advantages of Lithium-Ion batteries is that the batteries have no
"memory effect." The batteries do not require scheduled cycling to
maintain them. Despite the fact that Lithium-Ion batteries are
low-maintenance, there are some steps you can take to extend the life of
your Lithium-Ion battery.
Far be it from me to suggest that Apple might be wrong about something,
but in this case, Apple is wrong about this.

A while back I tested all of the then-available uninstallers for the
Mac, and they all did an incomplete job with applications with a lot
of components strewn across the drive. I've never tested the Revo,
but I wouldn't trust it to remove all traces of Office.
Office 2008 comes with an uninstaller that is automatically installed
with Office. That will do a perfect job.
- Quit all applications.
- Open the Applications folder.
- Open Microsoft Office 2008, and then open Additional Tools.
- Double-click Remove Office to start the application.
- Click Continue to have the tool search for installed versions of
Office on your computer.
- Click Continue again once the search is done.
- Select Microsoft Office 2008, and then click Continue.
- Follow the instructions to remove Office 2008 for Mac.

The Revo uninstaller application is Windows only, so no use to you.
The Office:Mac 2008 Home and Student edition i bought, came with 3
installation codes for 3 machines, desktop or laptop, does not matter
which. I have it running on my network with 3 separate macs, and any or
all can be active and running Office simultaneously.
I suspect you are trying to run the version off the Time Capsule without
having done a proper installation on the 2nd Mac. I would try a fresh
reinstall first. Of course you'll have to enter the product keys they
provided, and you probably have to be connected to the internet. I'm
sure that the installation ties it to your MAC address and hardware
configuration, making each installation unique; preventing it each
product key from running on a different configuration than what it was
installed on.
In my installations, I ran Microsoft Update (one of the options under
the Help menu, check for updates) to get the latest, and then I Repaired
Permissions and restarted the computer thereafter. Runs just fine, all
installs under Snow Leopard.
If all all else fails, contact Microsoft... it's their product and
should work as advertised.

Revo doesn't work on the MAC but I'm assuming that when you run Windows
on the MAC you're using a separate partition by using Bootcamp. When
running Windows, Revo will remove all traces of the Office program so
that Microsoft won't see registry traces.
Word is part of Office, isn't it? Why load a separate version?

Screen Calibration

I am brand new to Macs. I just bought a 27" iMac and they told me at the Apple store not to use my "Spyder" to calibrate my screen. They showed me in Preferences, Displays, Color, the tool to use to calibrate. Is it difficult and is that what you photographers use?
I use WHCC as my print house.

No.
What they showed you is a way to use your eye to calibrate the
display, which is nowhere near as reliable as using a colorimeter such
as your Spyder, a ColorMunki, etc. Straight out of the box, every
recent iMac I've seen is pretty dang good, but one of the first things
I'd do is calibrate it using the Spyder.

Nothing wrong with using a Spyder if it and it's software is new enough to work.
I think the built in calibration is a good starting point but isn't high-end serious.
Do the built in calibration, turn on expert mode, then follow the easy steps. At end suggest you name the profile with date and time of day. Then do a 2nd calibration.
I'd suggest doing several a different times of day.
Change Desktop color to the neutral 50% gray in Sys Prefs.
Then do another calibration with an image open that you trust for color and watch things change during the process.
Finally open a trusted image and switch between calibration profiles to see which one works.
But always remembering if you are editing for quality printing on offset that the goal of calibration is to "dumb down" the electronic RGB monitor (so it will look gloomy) to match the far less vibrant and far fewer colors of chemical ink on paper technology.

It is slightly different for different versions of OS X, but generally:
Quit all applications.
Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Network --> Configure --> DNS
Servers
Delete the number that is there now (after writing it down if you
decide that you want to go back) and replace it with the number that
Name Bench gives you.

iPhone 4S Case
Posted by: "Barbara Elbe" beadedimages@earthlink.net missladybee
Wed Nov 9, 2011 4:51 pm (PST)
I purchased a case for my new iPhone 4S online, but when I got the phone and put the new case on, I found it bulky and it make the phone look more like a video game than the sleek new iPhone that was hidden within. Now I'm back looking for something that will give modest protection without the bulk. I saw one the other day that was black & translucent (I could faintly see the Apple logo through the back).
Any suggestions?

InCase has this great clear case that is not too bulky:
http://goincase.com/products/ detail/snap- case-cl59594/ 1
I own it and I quite like it whenever I put a case on my iPhone 4.
On the other hand, I often leave home without anything on my phone
because I like it slim... and I like the design as it is.
I can't stand the idea of sticking such great design into some external
object. I prefer being more careful with it than putting it into some
violet/pink/green case.

I believe Tod was referring to iTunes/File/Preferences, then the Advanced tab/button. And t here, under iTunes Media folder location, click the Change button and point it to the new location.
Of course, if I"m wrong, I hope he corrects me. I have never done this.

Yea, and if the ones from your ISP don't work, try some free public ones that might work?
8/8/8/8
208.67.222.222
208.67.222.2220
(In Snow Leopard I installed them in Apple menu/System Preferences/Network/Advanced /DNS/
I sued the "plus" symbol in the lower left of the dialog to add these DAN servers.
