I want a FAST computer. I'm not into games, music, or videos. Although watching TV, or a DVD would be nice. #1 NEED is to wisk around the web quickly (have NO patience!).- I may be running a website/business. That is not controlled by the computer, it's controlled by the connection you have. You need DSL or "business quality" cable connections. Normal household cable is shared with everyone on the block and it can be very slow. If you plan to run a website/business, I strongly recommend you just pay a few $$ a month for website hosting - siteground.com is a good one with lots of free tools and templates - because setting one up from scratch is a technical nightmare and your thinking a fast CPU = fast internet indicates that you aren't geekish enough to do it. *********** Any computer currently on the market is enough for web, office stuff and viewing DVDs. Buy the cheapest one you can find and pay extra for more RAM (lots more RAM) and a good graphics card.

every thing should work just exactly as it always has this blocking of other users will not change how it works I have found no change at all for posting pics it still works great. All that does is stop people from being able to subscribe to your account and get notified every time you upload a new picture to your own account, that is what I don't like, people you don't even know could be watching everything you put in your photobucket. So no worries that it will change how you post your pictures it does not. The mobile things as I said above I have no idea since I barely use my cell phone at all and just for talking LOL however if you look at photobucket where you can choose where to upload your pictures from it has the option for mobile phone so I am assuming that is what it is related to. The other Edit applications, one is if you have the firefox addon that I mentioned a while back for photobucket that will be one listed there, it is basically saying you do allow the firefox addon to put things in your account, so when you use your firefox addon you do not have to go through opening your photobucket page each time it will allow those pics to go into your account directly. I had 3 listed in mine in that area the fotoflex image editor, that is part of your photobucket that allows you to edit the pictures, the firefox add on, and the photobucket album organizer which allows you to have more than one album and select which ones to put your pics in etc. If you use any other photo hosting sites check your options there also because most of them are starting to do this kind of thing, when it does it and asks me if I want to allow so and so to subscribe to my account that is one thing but letting it happen with out my knowledge just does not seem right. And you are very welcome, I did not know either so was glad to find out my own self.

I found this on a forum - it was in response to someone asking to make a photo very large and square, so ignore the references to that. You can experiment and see if you can upload the larger image to photobucket. (note that I think the photo has to be in your pictures folder and not iphoto). "Mac OS X has a built-in application called Preview that is quite capable for simple edits like resizing. First, open the image in Preview (should be the default; if not, right-click the file or click the Action toolbar item (the gear icon) with the file selected and choose Open With and then Preview). Then click on the Tools menu and select Adjust Size. This will open a sheet asking for your desired resolution and dimensions. Type them in, unchecking the Scale Proportionally option if necessary to get an exactly square image. Click OK, save the file (I�d recommend saving it with a different name), and you�re done. Please note, though, that upscaling JPG files will undoubtedly result in a loss of quality�sometimes a drastic one."

Don't bother with the cord for syncing calendar and contacts. You can do this automatically, over the air. I do it with Gmail Contacts and Google Calendar, but I just looked it up for Yahoo, and you can do it with Yahoo, too. I assume you're already getting your Yahoo mail on the iPhone, and I am including a link from Yahoo for how to set up the iPhone to sync with Yahoo Calendar and Contacts. Link to sync to Yahoo Contacts: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/contacts/basics/contactsbasics-11.html Link to sync to Yahoo Calendar: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calendar/yahoocalendar/sync/sync-06.html Once you do this, your calendar and contacts online will stay in sync with the calendar and contacts on your iPhone automatically, within seconds of any change. And then you'll be able to view the online calendar from any computer, at home or elsewhere. Your other sync settings will depend on what how you want to use the iPhone. But here's a quick run-through. Feel free to email me for more information. First of all, make sure you have iTunes installed on your computer. Then connect the iPhone to your computer with the cord that came in the original box. The first thing that pops up is the same dialog box that pops up whenever you connect to any storage device. I only use this dialog box if I have pictures on the iPhone and want to transfer them to my computer. After that, the sync starts automatically. To select your options for sync, you go into iTunes. About halfway down the left-side column is an entry for your device. Click on that. Across the top of the page, you will now see the categories for sync settings, i.e., "summary," "info," "apps," etc. Under "summary", at the bottom of the page, make sure the option for "open iTune when this iPhone is connected" is checked. If you've set up the Yahoo over-the-air sync, then ignore "info." Under "apps," click "sync apps." Also, if you want to change the organization of your apps, you can do it here by drag-and-drop, and the new organization will sync to your iPhone. I don't use special ringtones, but if you do, then go to the "ringtones" second and click to sync. Under "music," you can either choose to have your entire music library sync, or just choose individual playlists. I choose "all," but I don't have that much music. If you want to sync movies, tv shows, and books, choose those settings. (If you're not already doing it, do try some of the ebook reader apps, like iBooks and the Kindle app. And if you have a Netflix account, do get the free Netflix app and try watching a movie on the iPhone, just for the novelty of it!) Here's what I did for "photos." I set it to sync to a folder called "iTunes pictures" that I created on my computer. Then you can fill that file with the pictures you want to keep on your iPhone. That's about it. I hope it's helpful, but feel free email me or write more in this thread.
