should I unplug iMac so that away from home for a period of time

I'll be away from home for 6 weeks, we have power periodic interruptions where I is direct, he bet to unplug the iMac and airport Time Capsule at the moment that I'm missing?

As long as the computer is turned off, it is not really necessary to unplug. IF you live in one are frequent interruptions with electricity then I would say strongly to get a UPS to protect your devices.

    Just to remind you, I'm not computer savy. I always thought that data on my phone meant that I was hooked up to wifi. I have to pay for some sort of service to use my laptop other than at home? I have wifi at home. Thank you!

    None of the cell if the installer can use wifi connections or a cell phone. Mobile home mine is configured to use my wifi and when I'm out of reach it switches to the use of the cell phone Tower. It's for the smart phone not your regular clamshell phone types. So the best test is to take your laptop and go to a public wifi and see if you can connect to the wifi and use which would be another way to diagnosis if the problem is the Wi - Fi connection or something else.

    Hey there Drummer3708,

    I see that you are experiencing some problems with the accuracy of the GPS in your iPhone.  To help solve this problem, I suggest you follow through the tips below.

    Improve the accuracy of GPS

    GPS accuracy varies according to the number of visible GPS satellites. Location of all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Follow these tips to improve the accuracy of the GPS:

    • Make sure that you set the date, time and timezone correctly on the device in settings > general > Date & time. If possible, use the value automatically.
      Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Check the date, time and time zone on a computer that syncs with your device.
    • Restart your device.
    • Make sure you have a cell phone or Wi - Fi network connection. This allows assisted GPS (A - GPS) on the device to locate the fastest visible GPS satellites, in addition to providing information about the initial location using Wi - Fi or cellular networks.
      Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) are not supported with location Services.
    • Keep a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Please keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains and other obstacles can block the line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use a Wi - Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are still visible.

    Privacy and location for iOS Services 8 and iOS 9

    Take care.

  • HP Envy Tablet - cannot connect when away from home

    With Windows 8.1 now, I had to put my login compressed to use MS my account login & password. Works fine at home with wifi BUT when off site and no wifi, I get the message mentioned by a few others "... not ... ne pas connecte connected to the internet, use the previous password...". "or similar. However, the previous password connect in both. Please can you help me?

    Thank you.

    Hello CoconutNZ,

    When you say you "had to put my login compressed to use my MS account login & password", was it necessary for work or do you only do this because you didn't know how to create a Local (not MS sign-in required) account?

    Would be using an account Local rather adapted to your needs?

    I can only think of a couple of things to try.

    1. change your connect you to use a PIN instead of a password help?

    The user account - create a PIN in Windows 8

    2. If this does not work, switch to a Local account.

    How to move your existing Windows 8.1 log-in to a local account - CNET

    Or you can also create a new Local account and move your files from the old account on. Then delete the old account.

    Create a user account - Windows help

    Does that help? Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to fix the broken MS connection problem.

  • travel with the zeen/find a new WiFi connection somewhere away from home

    I have to be near my printer (within my wireless signal) to use the Zeen?  I will be going and I don't know where or how to get the zeen to find and block in another of my house WiFi signal. I went to a place that has a locked wireless signal and went somewhere (library) that should have have an open signal. I couldn't figure out how or where to enter the code for the House with the locked wireless.

    Help is so appreciated. So I want to take the zeen for tips internet while he's on vacation but impossible if it won't work not independent of the printer. The printer just can't go... it's too big for my suitcase

    REF = HPc510a, removable zineb

    Hi imtad,

    You can take the Zeen, all you have to do is of the home screen:

    1. Click on the menu button (the four lines per home icon).
    2. Go into settings.
    3. Go wireless.
    4. Select the network to which you want to connect at the bottom of the screen.
    5. If a password is required, you will be asked to enter.
    6. At the top of the menu, the Zeen Wi - Fi wireless, it must be said 'Connected' if all is successful.
  • Location of Windows 8 setting. Why do you want me 15 miles away from home?

    Several times, I'm looking for a way to change my location in Bing Maps.  It uses the default location, which, in my case, is off by 15 miles to define the start of the directions or any other place.   It is simply not acceptable.  Come on Microsoft.  Re-enter your.  While I can live with other problems of Windows 8, it's almost a dealbreaker.  I want to define my position.  Let me click on Bing map and have a 'default value place' or 'Enter address'.  It's too complicated.  I would recommend going to Windows 8 to my friends, until this is resolved!

    Ok. You are right but you left out one step.  Go to the cards 'Store' and update to the latest version.  Version supplied with Windows 8, you cannot move the default location and acts as I described above.  The latest version allows me to drag and drop the icon to default location.  Hope this is useful to someone else!  Of course intrigued me!

  • Can I take some images from a video for a period of time?

    So, I was filming a time to build myself a bed flat pack.  Initially I started with a delay of 5 seconds on my go pro, but at halfway, I went for lunch and stopped the time.  On his return, I stupidly clicked on play and didn't go pro gave to the video recording mode.  So I have half my time elapsed as a photo, taken at intervals of 5 seconds, and the other half in 1080 p at 60 frames per second.  Is it possible that I can take a cap of a single image of the video screen every 5 seconds (or every 300 images or more) to make it so the same format as the first part.  I don't want to do this manually because this way, I would have about 50 minutes of video to sift through.

    See you soon.

    A viable method is to:

    1 apply a posterize time effect to the clip and set the framerate 1FPS

    2. use speed/duration (right click on the clip) and set a pace faster or the shorter duration - a few mathematical functions required: new duration = duration of the clip in seconds / 5 (since you wanted to 5 seconds interval) / frame rate of the project.  for example 50 min = 3000 s;  3000/5 = 600 (or images) / 30 fps = 20 seconds.  Think math is right.

  • I can only receive emails and send not so far from home

    Split of: " ", "http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/a424e146-1a2f-4133-80d5-db98f08f5421"" "

    Currently, I use Windows Vista and access my email using Windows Mail.  When I am connected to my internet router 'House', I can send and receive emails, absolutely perfect.  When I am away from home and try to connect to an internet router to the hotel (with a key) or internet router to friends (with a key), I can only receive emails and not send.  I get the error message is: the connection to the server has failed.  He then mentions the details into account, server, Protocol, Port and secure (SSL) followed by the Socket error: 10060 and the error number: 0x800CCC0E.  Anyone know why I have a problem when I'm away from home?  Any help much appreciated.

    Looks like you are running in a block of 25 port. What you experienced is normal. As a general rule, the owner of port 25 SMTP server you use must be the same as the entity that provides your Internet connection at the moment. To learn more about this issue, see anti-spam
     
    The workarounds available when sending abroad are the following:
     
    1. use webmail to send (via your browser).
    2. ask your ISP if they have one port other than '25' for SMTP.
    3. If you frequently send multiple locations, get free Gmail account, configure it for POP access, set up in Windows Mail and use it to
    your shipment of household chores. Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked as is port 25.

  • My iMac 27 "was missing from the option of resolution 1920 x 1080 since the day I bought it. Apple said it should be fixed in future updates to OS x, but that didn't always happen.

    I have a beginning 2013 27 "iMac I customized with all the best options at the time. Since I bought it, the resolution options have displayed no 1920 x 1080 option, I tried several things as now the option key while noting key worked. In years past, I asked Apple several times about this, and their response was always 'it should be fixed in next update OSX." Well, its been a few years already, and 3 new releases OSX and the problem has never been resolved. I'm pretty sure its a problem with the graphics card from Nvidia, but I can't contact them for support because they can't really do anything. It is not like I can update the drivers for the card, software update is supposed to handle this.

    I think that its ridiculous that I had this problem for so long without help at Apple. It isn't that I'm missing a non-standard resolution.

    What happens when you:

    Define the main screen resolution

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click view, and then click display.
    2. Select chipped, then select one of the options of resolution nationally.
  • Is it done to unplug iMac to unlock that damage the computer? Is there a way to force close when it is completely insensitive?

    I tried closing a screen and got a spinning wheel. The system was totally insensitive. I tried to close it with the power button and when it restarted, he returned to the State. So, as a last resort, I disconnected from the back. After I waited 30 seconds, I plugged it it back, pushed the power button, and it worked fine, once again. Told me you should not unplug the computer because you could do a surge when you plug it in. Is there a way to force quit the application causing the gel when the computer has been insensitive to everything? How about by pressing Command-Option-ESC for 3 seconds? That would have worked?

    Command + Option + ESC only leaves open applications.

    The next time that the system does not respond, press and hold the power button until the screen goes black.

    Wait at least ten seconds before press power once to turn it on again.

    * Never disconnect your Mac from its power source while it is on

  • creates a VPN connection so that I can take a connection away from my house

    Hi team,

    I work in an organization. Every night I lock my computer with background tasks as syncing files or downloads to occur. The next day morning I come and see that the download could be interrupted (Failed) because of the loss of the internet. Which means that the internet is not active. Synchronization of files even will be pasted in the half of the progress. Don't know what is the problem and why didn't the network disconnects.
    I few of my colleagues who do the same thing, but they are not facing this problem. During the day, when I work - I don't really see any problem. There is no disconnect and no problem at all.
    I wanted to check what is happening and created a VPN connection so that I can take a connection away from my home.  But I wouldn't be able to connect to my computer because of the loss of network or whatever.
    Help, please.

    You can use it only on a Win computer. If you had CS6, you could do a platform Exchange but not with CS5. Here are the details of the exchanges of the platform:
