How do you activate the 'custom' region under 'formats' in 'Language

Hi,
To start with, I'm a beginner with Mac and I currently own a MacBook Pro with Lion. For my 'region,' I used to have English (Bahrain), but I accidentally changed it to United States, but it's not what I hoped for. I used to have the Bahraini currency, date-system, time, among other things, and now I have the US system. I tried Arabic and chose Bahrain, but everything is in Arabic. There is no English and then Bahrain. Heck, there is no 'English.' I've tried changing it back, but Bahrain isn't listed in the region. By the way, this is under 'formats' in 'Language & Text' in System Preferences. I noticed the 'custom' option at the very end of the list. However, I can't access it because it's grey. How do I activate this? Maybe custom is the solution to my problem. I can see French, German, etc..., but English isn't listed. I want English (Bahrain).
Please help! I greatly appreciate it. Thank you, guys.

Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship. Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland. The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them. Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland. For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

How do you invoke the customer satisfaction guarantee on HP photo paper?

OK, perhaps this is a silly question, but I can't find anything on the HP site or forums that addresses this. How does one invoke the customer satisfaction guarantee on HP photo paper? The instructions in the box (and website) tell me to call HP customer care. I did that, and spent 25 minutes having a technician tell me it was a problem with my printer (HP Photosmart C6180), my printer was out of warranty, and I would need to exchange it and pay a fee to upgrade to a newer model with a 1 year warranty. She seemed not to care or know anything about the customer satisfaction guarantee for paper; she was only trained to tell you the problem was most surely with the printer.
In case anyone here can help, I have the HP Premium Plus 4x6 glossy paper, and whenever I use it the picture quality is extremely poor--not at all what I expected from the paper. It appears the ink has "balled" up, and it looks very splotchy. I am setting the paper type appropriately when printing, and I use original HP 02 inks. When I use other photo paper to print photos, they come out perfectly. Having wasted quite a bit of ink and paper trying different things, I'm just not satisfied and would like to discuss this further with HP.

The only numbers available (I've just reached over and picked up a box of premium plus 4X6 from my supply shelves to look) are on the bottom end back of the box. They are directly under their corresponding bar codes; the Product Number (for 4X6 premium plus it's Q1978AC) and what looks like the SKU (on my box, ignoring the small 8 and 5 at either end, that reads 0873654213). Additionally, there is a "Lot Number" (printed in white dot printing on a gray box background) directly above the product number (which should have "US" in the upper left, and a string below that...mine is US00204805). There is no number on the back of the paper, just the HP logo and a string of 6 small dots under it in a diagonal pattern spread across it.
So, I expect they want all three; Product Number, SKU, and Lot Number...the last likely so that that can pull a lot sample from their QA inventory and attempt to reproduce the issue back at the lab.
Hope that helps.

How do you get the custom fields added to a address book to show up on Pages 09 when merging fields?

I created some custom fields in the address book and want to get them merged into a Pages 09 document. When using the merge fields feature in Pages, only the standard fields are displayed. I am looking for a way to have the custom fields from the address book inserted into the document.

I believe you will find them if you go to table - unhide all columns. When you drag and drop card(s) into pages, it automatically shows default fields. The others are there but hidden. I hope this works for you!

How can i see the customer reviews in a different language?

When i have doubts and need a detailed user experience for a specific program, i always look at the customer ratings & reviews. But in my native language and region, there are usually insufficient contents about that application. So i need to change the region to the us, read the reviews and if i decide on to purchase it, then switch back to my own region. Although that seems very simple, so one can say "switch then what's the problem". But that process is become quite tiresome to me.
Is there any elegant solution to this region problem?

Not really, the reviews associated with a regional App Store are not offered in translation. You can try a copy and paste into Google/translate to get a translation that is often pretty rough. Changing stores/country/region is tedious and the specific reviews may not be given in a different store.

How do you vary the Date/Time stamp format in File Adapters

In the receiver channel of the File Adapter where you specify the 'File Name Scheme', you do have the option of specifying a 'File Construction Mode' of 'Add Time Stamp'. How can you specify a different Date/Time stamp format ( eg MM/DD/YY vs YYYYMMDD vs MMDDYY, etc. ) without changing the Date/Time stamp for the entire SAP system? Also, can you control where the Date/Time stamp appears in the filename?

Hi,
There are many threads discussing the same issue. Go thro the following:
Dynamic file name (Date) in Receiver File Adapter
Receiver File Adapter - TimeStamp
Bhavesh's reply in above thread:
You can use Adapter Specific Identifiers and then change the file name in the mapping. Append the tiem stamp in the format that you want and so on.
Just use this code in an UDF,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd" );
dateformat.format( new java.util.Date() );
String newfilename=SourceFileName+dateformat;
// change to new file name
conf.put(key, newfilename);
return "";

How do you change the date and time format in Pages

I've tried changing the date and time format a number of times for Pages but it does not change. I'm going to the System Preferences/Language and Text and Formats. I make the changes click on OK and go back to Pages. NO change.

How do you change the font size under the event and iphoto view photos?

I would like to change the font size in iPhoto under the photos that appear in the Events view and in the Photos view. I was told by a tech at Apple that it cannot be done because it is built into the software. What you see is what you get. That seems unusual because the font size in the Photo view is smaller than that in the Events view. The Font control that exists in File/Edit are for fonts used when you open a photo and add your own captionI and have nothing to do with the various views. Does anyone know a way to do this? Thanks

I'm afraid it really is WYSIWYG. It can't be changed. You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

How do you activate the new ipod touch if it won't let you create an apple id?

I just bought 2 brand new iPod touch 32 GB products for my kids and can not create an apple id for them to be able to facetime, text message....etc? There are no instructions or real specific info from apple? I mean you have to have a email address to create the apple ID but hotmail and gmail...etc won't allow kids to have email addresses?

If you already have an account. they only need separate email addresses for FaceTime and Messages.

If necessary, create the email addresses/accounts in your name and supervise their use.

How do you activate a 10.10.3 download. I have downloaded twice (2 gig each) and have restarted as instructed. I have also rebooted. "About this Mac' still reports 10.10.2 installed and I do not have the new photo app.

I have downloaded 1010.3 twice (2+gig each). The update window shows the 10.10.3 update has been installed, however, 'About this Mac' shows 10.10.2 installed and I don't have the new 'photo' app installed. Once more, the quality of Apple software approaches that of Microsoft - letting the user debug instead of delivering the quality that used to be Apple.
How do I activate the downloaded update.

There may well be a problem with the update package. I initially tried downloading the delta update (not the combo) from the Apple Support web site, and when I opened the package file, the installer ran but terminated almost immediately. I restarted and only got the normal reboot process, not the "Installing software" display. After restarting, I saw some evidence that the firmware updater was cleaning up some files, but nothing else appeared to have happened except that the 1.5Gb package file and a couple small subsidiary files had been left under /Library/Updates/_ManualUpdate.
I tried running the command line softwareupdate tool to see if it would recognize the already-downloaded package file (which is something you might also want to try before downloading again just in case it works), but no such luck. I then relented and used App Store, and that downloaded again and then performed the update successfully.
Of course, then I had to horse around with turning off all the "photos in the cloud" nonsense, but that's another story.

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
Please do a forum search. I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
Bottom line: the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions. You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions?

How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions into one MIDI region without using copy and paste functions in the piano roll editor?

Sorry - didn't make myself clear. The glue tool would be no good here. I meant that I wanted, for example, to merge the MIDI contents of two regions that are perhaps on different tracks but play back at the same time, i.e. I want to add the 2nd region's MIDI to the 1st region's MIDI, but without having to go into the piano roll editor and cut and paste the data.
