I actually explained that to him in my hidden post

deluxecad: Can someone assist me with the installation of MS Office in my Macbook Pro 13"? Kindly offer your suggestions and it doesn't matter if it'll come at some reasonable cost. Are there alternative wordprocessors that can run primarily on Mac without the need to partition and install Windows wares? Your advice and suggestions are welcome.

My response to this your post was hidden. Don't know why. Moderator, please can you help us out?

deluxecad: What internet modems in Naija can I use on my Macbook? Suggestions please.

I assume all modems sold in Nigeria are Mac compatible.( Someone please correct me if I am wrong ). Most computer accessories made today (modems, dongles, hard drives etc..) are all Mac compatible. You do not need to install any drivers, simply plug and play!

chux76: Hello,
I have an iBook G4 Laptop(Please don't laugh.. ) I have tried to install the Neco biometric software on it to use for Neco registration. After downloading the software and trying to run the software,I was asked to choose a program to open it and I dont know what I clicked but it is now on the laptop with a .msi extension which when clicked upon shows the file is about to be opened with Window Media Video.
Please how do I undo this and how do I install the Biometric software on the iBook G4? Thank you.

To install a program on any Mac you just drag the program file to your application folder. It will automatically install. To delete the program, just drag it from your applications folder to the trash.
That being said, I don't believe there is a version of the Neco biometric software that has been developed for Macs. Or are you running windows on your G4 ?

lucabrasi: hi there anyone o],i have a macbook air and an iPhone both synced with my iTunes music displayed on both devices, now my iPhone was stolen on a trip to lagos early this year and i don't remember the iTunes id again,i just bought an ipad3 last week and i am trying to move the music on the iTunes on my laptop to the iPad but i have absolutely no idea how to go about it..

please can anyone help me out with doing the following

1.how can i move the music on the mac iTunes to my iPad?

2.how can i download videos on and music on youtube and dailymotion to my iPad so i can watch them offline

please i will appreciate answers to this as i hardly use the iPad other than to read books since i have bought it
thanks

From what I gather, it seems that the music on your macbook was transferred there from your iPhone that was stolen. Hence your music is tied down to iPhone, and the iTunes account it was originally synced from. Now you are trying to sync it to an iPad 3 with a different iTunes account.
That is not going to legally work. It is a security measure iTunes has in place to prevent illegal music sharing. There are illegal work arounds which I will not mention here.
If you cannot remember your iTunes id again, there are options for recovering your iTunes id or forgotten password. I suggest you try that route.

Lovechyld101: HELP!!! All my usb port on my mac G series is not workin tryd offin nd on it even removing d batteries still not working..

Try turning off 'Enable access for assistive devices' in 'Universal Access' in System Preferences and restart your Macbook, see if this helps.

How many middle class Nigerians exist?
Because you read a report about how some Nigerians spend in the UK [include those who go there to study] doesn't mean majority of the people are not wallowing in poverty
If the stats are right, I think its 70% of the population live on about 2 dollars daily

Nigerians are not wallowing in poverty. Nigerians just have that misconception. Yes there are plenty of poor Nigerians, but there are equally a lot of Nigerians doing well. To understand this you have to travel to several other poor African countries. How accurate are the stats that claim 70% of the population lives on 2 dollars a day? That, I totally disagree with.

Since this is the case, why do many Nigerians come on to Nairaland complaining about thieving politicians and economic woes? There must be something right happening in Nigeria.

On her twice-yearly visits to London from Nigeria, Victoria Appiah stocks up on everything she needs for the next six months. "I basically only do food shopping back home," she says, standing outside Marks & Spencer's flagship store in Marble Arch, central London. "It's not that you can't get these things in Lagos, but everything here is much more reasonably priced.

"If you want cheap products, Chinese-made have taken over in Nigeria, and you can't always vouch for quality."

Thousands of Nigerians agree. Visitors from the west African nation are the UK's fourth biggest foreign spenders, ringing up an average £500 in each shop where they make purchases – four times what the average UK shopper spends.

Holidaying or visiting relatives abroad is increasingly open to millions of middle class Nigerians, with the number of visitors to the UK increasing by more than 50% to 142,000 a year in the decade ending 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics. In a country projected to become Africa's biggest economy next year, and the world's fifth most populous by 2050, businesses at home and abroad are cashing in. In Debenhams' Oxford Street branch, signs in Hausa, one of the official Nigerian languages in the country's largely impoverished north, direct shoppers to items on sale. This year, the shop said that Nigerian customers were its biggest overseas spenders.

Daily flights plying the lucrative route between Nigeria and the UK have ballooned in the last decade. British Airways permits almost double the normal baggage allowance for the six-hour haul.

In some cases, Nigerians are literally using their deeper pockets on sprees. Shola Obadeyu wore a heavy duffel coat while queueing in Heathrow for a flight back to her sweltering home city of Abuja. "I can save [airline] baggage space by putting small things like vest tops and underwear in the pockets," she said as she queued with other passengers, almost all struggling with bulging suitcases. Back in Abuja, Obadeyu sells wares bought in London "at prices that don't kill you".

Others are tapping the market. A mushrooming middle class snapped up 10m microwaves last year. Big name brands from Apple to Zara have sprung up to feed those aspirations.

The African-based discount supermarket giant Shoprite is pouring $205m into its current three outlets in Nigeria, while the US hypermarket Walmart sees scope for 50 outlets in the country.

On a recent trip back from Europe, Marie Claire Lienou lugged 50kg of frozen meat in a freezer bag back to Nigeria. "You can't compare [Shoprite's] prices here with their prices in Europe. For 10 steaks there I can buy two here. You just pay what you have to for the convenience and guarantees," she said, pushing a trolley laden with relative luxuries such as bagged salads.

"Nigeria is very crowded, traffic is terrible, fakes [wares] are everywhere. The only thing I'll buy from the market is fresh bulk vegetables, because there are no fake tomatoes," she added.

Being middle class in Nigeria isn't cheap. In a brightly lit KFC across the shopping centre, Taiwo Edun, an engineer, treated his girlfriend to crispy chicken and chips, a luxury beyond the reach of many at $20 (£13) a pop.

"I don't consider myself in the super-rich class, I'm not chartering flights for my friends to go on holiday like some Nigerians can. But I can come here maybe once a month," he said.

The widespread corruption and infrastructure woes that plague Nigeria – including daily power blackouts that are smoothed over by millions of generators – push up the costs of running businesses here, keeping most dependent on informal, market-style retail.

Abrupt plans to introduce a new 5,000 naira (£20) note worth five times the current highest bill have caused an outcry, with market sellers saying it would drive up prices.

On the back of one of the notes will be Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, mother of the Afrobeat singer Fela Kuti. Ransome-Kuti made her name as an activist with a mass protest against policies that increased prices for market women.

Meanwhile, those who can afford it continue to see a better deal abroad. The country's central bank throws billions of dollars into propping up the naira at artificially high rates, hurting millions of local exporters and encouraging Nigeria's shopping exodus.

Indicating her clutch of M&S carrier bags, Appiah said it was her five-year-old grandson's favourite shop.

"As long as the weather is not too cold, Nigerians will be shopping in London," she said.

2muchdolla: I'd like to know how to run windows on my mac pro via bootcamp.

It is very straight forward
Here is a link that will show you how:

sinetheta: my macpro anytime i inserted cd it will reject automatically, why?

It sounds like you have a bad superdrive. They are very sensitive and easily breakdown. It is not worth replacing it since they are becoming obsolete anyway. If I really need a disc drive, I suggest getting a cheap external one.

filibust: Hi Friends,

Just noticed this anomaly on my Macpro microsoft word document. Anytime I insert an image to a document, microsoft word cease to respond, until I restart the system.

Please what's responsible for this and how can I resolve it?

Thanks.

Have you tried re installing your Microsoft Office Suite? It sounds like your current installation might be corrupt.

statusnet:

Thanks please do you know the price cuz i cant see it on the site.

Give them a call.
It states in a previous post that there is a dedicated Mac shop at the computer village.

"He makes me skeptical," Pound, the former head of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Thursday afternoon. "It's short of suspicion: I would never go out and say I'm suspicious of his results, but they're so remarkable that even though he is 6-foot-whatever-he-is and runs like a cat rather than a tank in the old steroidal model, the improvement is so far off the curve that you have to wonder if it's entirely natural. I hope it is -- but you wonder. That's the price you pay for allowing this doping to get out of control."

The Chemist should have pumped more steroids into Yohan Blake to take eyes off Bolt.

He did. But obviously Bolt is still the faster man.
Ben Johnson new he was a faster sprinter than Carl Lewis, but could never beat him, until he started taking what Lewis was taking. That levelled the playing field. The rest is history.

'60 percent of athletes at the Games are on drugs,' says BALCO founder

Thank you!!

Rhino.5dm:
But is it normal to you that a country like Nigeria with over 170 million people ccouldn't grab a single medal?

Bros, success has nothing to with population but rather hard work and luck. Bolt is extremely fast and my dog was so delighted after watching the clownish way he performed yesterday. learn to appreciate good things and be a positive thinker or else you die young.

I like bolt when he bolted out!!!

on a lighter note, you do know that Manchester united are willing to sign him as a professional soccer player to the red devils,right?

For starters, I didn't write the article, I just quoted it. If Bolt is really superman as you and many believe, then why does he have a chemist as a coach?
Your dog will not live long enough to be a witness when the poop hits the fan, but hopefully you and I will.
And no Sir Alex is not willing to sign him because he knows it is all just a show being witnessed by a vulnerable public.

greateros: innocent until proven guilty!

if he is cheating and he can get away with it, HE IS INNOCENT UNDER THE LAW

In the same vein, Nigerians should stop complaining about greedy politicians looting our treasury, as they are all technically innocent. Abi?

Rhino.5dm:
Are you a hater? Give it up bro!

By the way, what stops the other athletes from using this seemingly undetectable means of enhancement? or is this formula available to bolt alone? stop hating super achievers, learn to cheer them.

Bro, it is not about hating. Bolt is not alone. Many athletes are cheating. I guess it is normal to you that the three fastest men in the world at 200M all happen not only to come from the same little island, but share the same coach, who happens to be a chemist.

E nice: This is serious bull crap. When you pour out rubbish out of ignorance, this is what happens. Have you not heard of "out of competition testing". To note, people like Bolt are tested regularly in and out of competition. They are even stalked and testing demanded of them with little or no notice.

Please read the article before posting an abusive comment. If you read the post you would have noted that Marion Jones passed over 160 tests. I guess she is clean to you.

blink182: Until it is proven, we have nothing on him

You are right. But you and I both know he IS cheating. Modern day athletics is all about avoiding detection. Very few Nigerians are aware of the fact that our greats like Mary Onyali, Chioma Ajunwa, the Ezinwa brothers e.t.c all failed drugs tests. So should we still blame our current crop of athletes for failing to achieve, when they are fighting a losing battle, unless they too start to cheat?

People please wake up and smell the coffee. What This guy is doing and how he is doing it, is just not normal.
