iCloud Problem

wtfoo1 — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:00:16 +0800

Hi,

I already changed my apple ID (previously assign to company email) to my personal email. However, I unable to change the iCloud ID (still under company email). I can't remember the password anymore.

Is there anyway I can change it? I am prepare to reset the phone, but, I have also purchased quite a number of apps previously, sms and photos (very sentimental value, i.e. photo with my late grandparents) which I don't want to lost.

Is it possible to do backup first in itunes, then, hard reset then restore backup?

BTW, it is iphone 4, on iOS 7

Thanks

RIG Reconmendation

wtfoo1 — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 15:56:22 +0800

[Budget] - RM1k (assume can re-use some of the hardware)
- RM1.5k (if those items listed below need to change)

[Purpose] - Spreadsheet (Excel), Documents (Words), Internet/ download, Watch movie, no games, if yes, very minimal.

[Hardware that will be reuse from old rig]
Confirmed still working, reuse - Monitor, mouse, keyboard, DVD writer, PSU, Casing, speaker
Need to check if can salvage/ use - graphic card, ram
Confirmed purchase - motherboard, hardisk, processor

[Personal Preference Brand] Intel for processor, Asus for motherboard.

[Location] Klang Valley

Additional info
current computer aged is about 3 years, first generation of Intel i5 (can't remember the exact spec, sorry, computer noobie ).
Plan to use the new RIG for at at least 3 years before change again (so, need to ensure the hardware still can support the above requirement at that time) .
Current setup struck by lighting and power disruption, but, still functioning. Only become slow and unstable. Not sure what went wrong, what spoilt.
Cost, lower the better. As mentioned, I do not need high end RIG and can last for few years.
No urgency, can wait for Haswell if the price is right.
Anyone seller/ assembler, welcome to PM me your quotation (please include the assembly charge too, if any).

Thank you so much

Need advice on smartphone/ PDA phone

My purpose, is can go online for my internet banking/ internet share investing stuff, therefore, it must able to accept ActiveX for internet stock investment. In addition, I prefer those can sync with MS Office Excel and MS Outlook (I know Iphone can sync with MS Outlook email)

Any advice/ suggestion? Thanks you.....

Need help on New System

wtfoo1 — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:00:41 +0800

Hi all sifus/ seniors,

Need your expert advice (as my current 5 years old PC finally gone....RIP ).

Basically, the purpose of the new PC is for work, such as Excel, Words and PowerPoint and internet only, with occasionally games and video streaming, and my intended this PC life cycle (period before I need to upgrade/ change) is between 4 to 5 years assuming there is no any hardware failure (i.e. upgrade/ change new PC as it not able to support the majority of the current software). In addition, depending on my financial situation later, I intend to upgrade to Windows 7 in later date, therefore, I would prefer if my new setup can cater for it too (at least run smoothly, not barely able to support) In order to save further (as I am on pretty tight budget actually), I intend to recycled some of my current still functioning hardware such as DVD-RW, casing and PSU, mouse, keyboard, modem and monitor and my budget excluding the above items is between RM1500 to RM2000.

I manage to did some survey at Digital Mall, more specifically All IT Hypermart and these are my proposed setup (the price list and reasons is in italic bracket)

Intel Core i5 650 (RM670) or Intel Core i5 750 Quad (RM690) May I know which processor you would reconmend and the reasons. Sorry, as I am very newbie in this, and my last computer upgrade was 5 years ago as mentioned above)
2 GB Kingston DD3 1333 Mhz (RM175) Is this sufficient for Windows 7?
1 TB W.Digital 64MB (RM295).I intend to salvage my current 2 hardisk, 80GB and 250GB and use all 3 hardisk. Can this be done?
Asus P7H55-M Pro motherboard (RM390) I prefer to use Asus brand as I found their products is quite reliable and durable, and the above motherboard is one of the Asus new, cheaper motherboard, I guess.
Asus ENGT220 display card (RM280) Reason why I choose this is same per my motherboard selection

Total cost for the above for Intel i5 650 is RM1810 and Intel i5 750 is RM1830 respectively. Whatever further saving (change of reconmended spec I will use it to purchase additional RAM, replace my 8 years old CRT monitor and upgrade to Windows 7)

In addition, is there any reconmended computer shop at Low Yat or Digital Mall for building up the system, as I do not know how to install the hardware? Previously, I just try and error from the shop, but, most of time, the customers service there is virtually none, is sort of take it or leave it, and dont bother me with anything once cash had been handover atitude.

Thanks you in advance for your kind assistance and comments, and sorry if my question bit long and confusing as I am quite fairly new on this. May you have a great day ahead.

[WTA] Dog Health

wtfoo1 — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:17:11 +0800

Hi all,
Need all advice from sifu here . my dog suffered some skin disease and the problem started when he is about 1 to 2 years old.

First, his fur start to drop (he is short fur btw), leaving patches of bald skin, then, some sort of "fungus" like stuff grow on the skin (something like those fungus grow on dead branches), and it itchy, therefore, he constantly scratch on it, till it hurt and get infected.

I had bring him to vet, and according to the vet, told me that it due to some fungus infection, genetic in nature (too much in-breeding among his ancestors/ parents, unknown what, since I adopted it as stray dog, look perfectly normal, typical normal puppy, non pure breed puppy from PAWS) and got to live with it permanently (cannot be cured), and hint me to put him to sleep or return back to PAWS, no way I will do that, coz since this disease is not life threatening, just uncorfortable and not nice looking, therefore, I dont have heart to do it and he is such a nice, loving, loyal dog, and charged me a bomb for the consultation and some useless medcine.

Then, someone suggest to rub him with sulfur after bathing, and also, with change of his diets (I now use special dog food from Pro Plan for Sensitive Skin, which slightly more expensive than normal other premium pet food), the problems seems goes away, albeit temporarly.

But, the fungus keep coming back every few months, and it quite severe, seems like nothing can be done on that, coz no matters how often I wash him or what, the "fungus cycle" will start with fur drop, fungus growing, then, died off, and finally the fur grown back nicely (the whole process can take few months).

Therefore, want to seek any sifu advice, is there anyone encounter this problem and if there is any permanent solution? It kinda sad and frustrated see the problem

Sorry for long sentence. I sincerely hope that someone can help me on this, or else, I got to continue sadly see him suffering for rest of his life (he such a young dog btw, only 4 years only)
