Use FaceTime for phonecalls?

Afternoon everyone! Before I got this new Macbook Pro, fellow list member and my friend Christopher Hallsworth said that you can use FaceTime on the Mac for phone calls. How do I achieve this? I want to surprise my friend John Haill at some point. But see he is out an awful lot, so need to ring

Re: Radium

No, there is no way to organize favorites, such as in folders. But if enough of us keep writing them asking, maybe they'll get the hint. I know I have done so, and I know others have too. But the more the merrier. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On May 28, 2015, at 8:32 PM, gs wrote: > > Does any

Re: Use FaceTime for phonecalls?

Hi, First thing, if you want to place a call over wifi using the cell connection on your iPhone, you need to enable this in FaceTime preferences. So check iPhone cellular calls. If you just want to use face time audio though, when you press the FaceTime audio button, and the pop up appears, se

RE: Macbook Air and SD card problem

Hi Gena and all, I have transferred many files to my Stream, many times, using an HC SD card with my Macbook Air. My Air is the 11 inch model and therefore, it doesn't have a built-in card reader. So, I insert an HC SD card into an SD card reader and then insert the reader into one of the USB

Re: amazon prime type question about accessibility

Do you mean Amazon Instant Video? If so yes the iOS app is accessible and it appears the website is accessible as well. You need either Silverlight or Flash to watch any videos you purchase, rent or stream from a web browser. > On 29 May 2015, at 21:34, deedra waters wrote: > > I’m wondering if

Re: Macbook Air and SD card problem

Hello Myrna, Thanks, I didn’t know about looking for the card reader. As for ejecting, I would have thought I did have it focused as the VO+Shift+M activated the context menu. I’ve just tried again with my stream while the Air is on AC power. Ensuring I use the Humanware supplied cable. The SD

well, I do know this. they prefer the use of Microsoft Silverlight as their preferred media player (it has something to do with DRM). I haven't tried to play any videos yet. -eric On May 29, 2015, at 1:34 PM, deedra waters wrote: > I’m wondering if the amazon prime music/video stuff is accessi

Re: downloading videos

Hey Traci. Since, like you said, third party apps don't work anymore, I use this site to download Youtube videos, but with the way things are going with Youtube, these options might some day go out the virtual door as well. Here's the link, and it also does all formats that you could possibly th

Specs for MacBook Pro and VMware Fusion

Greetings. I'm looking to finally upgrade my (ancient) late 2011 MacBook Pro. Assume for a moment that the unit will need to occasionally run Windows under a VM, in order to support Visual Studio, Xamarin .NET development for iOS/Mac OS X, and the ability to connect back to a Mac for debugging.

See, this is what I was thinking--particularly as pertains the CPU. Am I right in assuming that OS X is generally lighter on resources than Windows? On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 7:07 PM, Jeff Greene wrote: > Hi Chris, > I always believe more memory is a good investiment. I have a 2012 > non-retina m

Re: Specs for MacBook Pro and VMware Fusion

Hi Chris, Yes, I believe OSX is lighter on processor threads than windows. But, I’ve never read any definitive proof of that. Just get the macbook pro you like and make sure it has an SSD and the maximum amount of ram and you’ll be fine! Jeff > On May 29, 2015, at 10:26 PM, Chris Meredith wrote

Hello Chris, I posted some instructions to the list a couple months ago about how to pass the caps lock key directly through to Windows while using VMWare, with a couple caveats. I’ll paste that message below. It has been working great for me, but you could also take a simpler route and simply
