Re: Apple Deserves An Apology

After all, not only do these members of Congress avoid paying taxes, they are on the payroll of mega-corporations such as Apple.

Did I get that right?

Re: bonjour

iTunes needs Bonjour if you're trying to do anything like Home Sharing, or using an AppleTV to stream content from your PC. Or syncing to an iOS device over Wifi.

Re: purchase foreign property, send money legall

You will probably have to do a wire transfer of the funds to a local bank where you're buying. Other than that, I don't think you need to do anything special. I've done wire transfers out of the country of over $10k with no special documentation.

Re: Amended return issue

Or, to look at it another way, TurboTax knows you already filed, and already got a refund, and assumes you've already cashed the check. It doesn't know whether you filed the original return three weeks ago or three months ago, so it has to assume [more]

Re: Onavo Protect or Spotflux VPN to secure Wi-Fi?

It's a VPN app. VPN requires a server at the other end to decrypt the data before it's sent on to the destination. They're running the VPN server, which means they can see all your data (that's not already encrypted via SSL (https://). And even it's [more]

Re: IOS devices not syncing contacts w/iMac

If you're syncing to iCloud, do NOT set direct syncing to the computer in iTunes. You need to set each device to sync with iCloud, not with each other. On your iMac, go to the iCloud panel in System Preferences and enable the Contacts sync there. In [more]
