Should I bring my laptop to europe?
OK well I am traveling to europe for a little over 2 weeks (Italy and France) and I am not worried of taking it on the plane, etc. The only thing I am worried about is leaving it in the hotel room. I of course would leave it in my locked suitcase, but still! I would hate to lose it and I really want to bring it so I can upload pictures, check weather, etc. What's your opinion? I am staying at good hotels, not holes in the walls FYI

I think you should. Having a computer is always useful no matter if you are at home or halfway across the world.
2 :
If you do, make sure to buy a proper wall outlet converter or it won't really matter if it gets stolen.
3 :
TAKE IT! of course take it! you could skype and stuff, and find out about things to do! don't even worry for a second about it getting stolen, if you're staying in a good hotel, AND locking it in the suitcase no one is gonna touch! heck even if you wouldn't lock it in a good hotel no one would ever go through your suitcase. i even stayed in crappy hostels and just locked my suitcase, and no one touched anything. however to remember to bring a proper outlet indeed.. haha have lot's of fun!

your macbook should have a wifi card already installed... you dont need to buy a modem... just hook up wirelessly to the internet at wifi spots in ur hotel or throughout italy... i bought an iTouch just for travelling... and always find free wifi spots anywhere I go....
2 :
You can buy the modem, but that doesn't mean that you'll have internet everywhere. You will also need an internet provider, OR an area where there is free internet, like a Cafe. But if you want to go to a Cafe, use wireless instead. As far as suggesting a modem, most of them are fine. Cisco makes good products, same with Belkin, Netgear. Modem's shouldn't go more then 30 USD - Since you'll be in a place where there is no wireless, you'll still need an internet provider to get to the internet.

Start button,and type in Webcam in the search button. that usually works for my mother edit: OR if you're on Yahoo instant messenger and you have a dialogue box open with your sister, then go under"Actions" and click"Invite to view my webcam" and it'll work that way too

Download Skype, it's a free video phone. If your sister downloads it you can both see and speak to each other for free. Skype turns on your videocam when you call.

it should work, yes if it goes from the voltage in Europe to the voltage in the us(if that's were you are) then yes it should work hope this helps!

most likely you don't need that Converter Transformer. the vast majority of the laptop power supplies (chargers) are made for an input voltage of 100 - 240V AC, 50/60Hz. (even my 8 year old charger already has this capability). check the sticker on your charger and if it indicate these numbers, all you need is a simple plug converter like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Travel-Changer-Adapter-Plug-US-USA-to-European-Euro_W0QQitemZ270238980290QQihZ017QQcategoryZ88759QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem those plug converters are available in every electronics store

Whats the best way to watch movies while traveling
Whats the best way to watch movies while traveling?
I don't have a portable DVD player.Maybe I will get one if its really cheap.I don't have a PSP or Ipod Video.Is there any way I can get lots of movies for a cheap price and to burn them on a CD-R & play them on a portable DVD.I thought about getting an Archos Media Player but it costs too much & I would only use it on long road trips.I do have a laptop that can burn movies though.I won't watch it on my laptop because my laptop got ruined last time I brought it to the airport the hard drive died & the laptop is really heavy.I can't rent movies because I'm going to Italy for 3 weeks. A Media player with a USB port thats affordable would be nice if you can find one.

Use a laptop or borrow one from a friend if you dont have one, and put your dvd's in. Make sure the laptop has a dvd-rom and good battery life. Otherwise get a psp, your own good laptop, or a ipod video.
4 :
For me, I prefer to use my ipod video. It is compact and I can put it in my bag. The portable DVD is too bulky to carry and heavy in my bag to carry around in the airport.
5 :
Get a portable DVD player that also comes with something that you can attach to the car seat in the future and plan to get all the new movies that has came out recently but don't watch them til you are on the plane or in Italy ... Take the DVD out of its box and put in the music cd holder bag - perhaps 20 pocket one That is what I plan to do when we go on vacation next month ... Sams Club and Costco both have good prices on portable DVD players - though keep your eye on ads this weekend since 4th of July is around the corner they might slash the prices lower ... If you have Fry's in your hometown, go there too as their prices are good too ... Hope I explained good ...

Try plato dvd ripper. DVD burner not needed, you can burn using your DVD ROM. It can burn or convert DVD to DivX , XviD , & AVI , iPod , PSP , 3GP , Pocket PC , VCD , SVCD and more. You could choose subtitle, audio track, and customize output video and audio quality. And you could watch your these movies on your pc/ iPod / PSP / mobile phone / laptop / PDA.

I am currently going to Italy, and I am bringing my laptop. I am a gamer so yes i would like to be able to play it. The place that im staying at has no wifi and no ethernet, so the internet runs on phone cable. I am wondering if there is anyway to get internet through phone cable by using an ethernet cable. My laptop only takes ethernet, so I am wondering if there is something i can buy or do to make the phone cable into an ethernet cable or something that would allow me to get internet

Only if your phone service includes mobile broadband and your laptop has a mobile broadband adapter.
2 :
Sounds like it has dialup which is practically useless in todays internet world. Might have DSL if it has a modem attached to that phone line which would be awesome. If it has DSL then all you need is a wireless router to hook up to the modem and you'll have wireless. If dialup, it's hopeless.
3 :
More danger lurks: European phone systems are not compatible with US-made dialup modems. Furthermore, some hotels have digital phone jacks, which will blow out most standard modems. Even if you sort out all the electrical level and signal incompatibilities, you're going to be using a dialup connection, which is absolutely incapable of supporting serious gaming traffic.

this is an ID10T error, fix it by getting a modem

3 :
they don't search your laptop-they don't turn it on or open it up- just put it through the scanner with your coat and things
4 :
They wont open your laptop but you gotta separate it from your other belongings when you go thru x-ray machine. You need to take off the laptop cover & place it separately too.
5 :
They won't be checking the contents of you laptop. They aren't worried about "illegal" downloads. They just want to make sure you aren't going to blow up their plane so they scan it to check whether it's a bomb or not and that's it. You might have to take it out of you bag so they can scan it. But now all you have to do is make sure that it is alone. If you have a folding compartment or protective sleeve then you can most likely leave it in it as long as it is separate from the rest of you carry on. There will also be board with instructions on what to do with you laptop and other suck electronics when you get in line. So just be ready. I would suggest that you have a separate small bag for all of your electronics, But remember a bundle of wires can look like a bomb so unzip the bag before it goes through the machine so they can check it on the other side if they are suspicious.

Glitches on burnt DVD's. Need Help
Glitches on burnt DVD's. Need Help!?
I made a couple of DVD's for my mom of her trip to Italy from her laptop, some of them are having glitches. I made the first two DVD's with just 600 pictures & the transitions in between. They came out working just fine with NO glitches at all. Then I made the next two DVD's with 600 photos, the transitions in between & music. I made both the DVD's at different times, but the same ones and they both have the same exact glitches. They aren't bad glitches but they are very noticeable. Is there anything that I can do to change this? If I were to just make another DVD with everything I want on it, it will have the same glitches...as I have already tried. I just want to know what I am doing wrong.

Unless the problem is caused by the music you added, try burning the DVDs at a slower speed. Using the max speed can introduce errors. Try 4x or even 2x and see if that eliminates the glitches.

Why wait for her to plan your life? Why don't YOU file? Who knows why she does what she does. Who cares? Don't even think for one second it is because she is hedging her bets and thinking of reconciling. If that were the case, she'd be home with you, not off in Italy with who knows who. There is some reason (taxes for instance) that she is putting it off, but it is not because she is re-thinking her position. The delay benefits her or maybe she isn't ready to face it. No matter what the reason, do not wait around for her to figure out what is happening to your life. So sorry. Good luck.

First, make sure you have installed the necessary drivers for your mobile phone. The CD installer usually comes with a software for maximizing your mobilephone-laptop connection.
2 :
I use Verizon. They have a software disk and cable you can buy for $40 and use the slower Quick Connect connection for free as the National Access costs around $80 per month. Verizon is the best company and maybe the only company who has this feature. Other companies have SIM cards but not as reliable according to my contacts.

Yeah you need one. You can buy kits at electrical stores (the shack, brook stone). They have adapters for sale at the airports. I'm in China and they sell adapters for less than 1-2 USdollars. Have fun in EUROPE man
2 :
Yes, you will need it for europe. Here's what you need. Its not expensive but its good to think of ahead of time because they can be hard to find in stores: http://www.eforcity.com/universal-to-europe-travel-plug-adaptor-cothplugeu01.html?efprcggbadtf090605=SC+gb+cothplugeu01
3 :
Check your laptop lead, in it or as part of the plug there is a little box, and on that box there is a mention of the voltages it can run on. Most laptops can run on 100 to 240 volts, including the USA as well as Europe and most of the rest of the world. If it only has 100 to 120 you will need a converter or a new lead. Your ipod charger also has a mention like that. And it is also likely to be 100 to 240. If they do not, in either case it is likely cheaper to buy a new lead or charger that can handle both 120 and 240 volt, but you can also buy a converter. Those are more expensive and heavy to carry, so most people will want to avoid them. The plug will almost certainly need to be different from home. In Europe there are a few different ones, one for England, and one for most of continental Europe at least. You can buy those cheaply at most of the travel shops and in most electronic shops. There are universal adapters and there are also smaller adapters that are good for one kind of plug only. You do not need an expensive plug adapter, the cheap ones are good enough.

Forgot my wep key. what can i do?
I went with my laptop to italy and deleted all saved stuff for protection but when i got home i had forgotten my we key! I had made my network hidden. I have a linksys wireless router. The reset buton doesn't work. I pluged it in wired but my computer cant get a wep key. Should i hold a magnet up to it, or what is a wep hey I can use? what should i do? my model is a befw11s4

suggest plugging your laptop in to the router and using a wired connection to get the settings and stuff changed and then resetting up the wireless with a name you remember, rather then use a wep key use a pass key. a word that will make the key for you. so u just remember the password instead
2 :
Why do I not belive you? WEP is wireless. Plugging in the wire connects it directly, you dont need a key for that. You hook up the wire, and go to the router's ip address, most likely it will be 192.168.1.1 enter your username and password and change the WEP kep. Reset button does not work. Ethernet cable does not work.. I really dont see that happening. Sorry.
3 :
Thats a big NO on the magnet, just to start. If you plug in wired, just log into the router. By default the linksys ip address will be 192.168.1.1 (so http://192.168.1.1 in your browser) and the username and password are both "admin". If you changed it AND your reset button doesn't work, well I suggest a baseball bat and some office space music. If you can get into your router, just go to wireless settings tab and look at your wep key. My suggestion (IF you can get into your router) is use WPA-PSK. Even if your SSID isn't broadcasted, I can usually get a WEP key out of the air in less than 20-30 minutes if you're using your connection. WPA is much more secure. Good luck
