Hi Wayne,
Thank you for this response.  I have tried this but when I start enterring $ amounts some, such as $6.00, go in OK others such as $4.00 appear as a date ie 4 Oct 12.  
Kind regards

  • Logic 8.0.2 Will Not Convert My SF2 to EXS. Any suggestions? Please Help!

    I have tried everything. I put the soundfonts (SF2) in /Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments. I tried in both the user and the system libraries numerous times. AKAI discs convert fine to EXS but not SF2. The soundfonts play fine in GarageBand though but not Logic. I am using Logic Pro 8.0.2; please help me!

    What is the blahdy diffrence ~twixt the two path-pointing methods?
    /Library/ is the library folder at the root of your hard drive
    ~/Library/ is the library folder in your user area (the tilde is a Unix shortcut which refers to your user home directory) - ie the full path would be /Users/yourusername/Library/
    From my experience... either location works, in fact my root /Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments folder is on a separate partition and I use an alias to the above location, seems to work just fine.
    However, I would definitely tries Bee Jay's suggestion (User/Library...) as you have nothing to lose at this point.

  • HT204406 I attempted to download iTunes match w/o success.  Step 1 was fine.  Step 2 gets stalled and will not move beyond 80%...  Any suggestions for a solution?  Why is iTunes stalling on step 2?

    Hi folks,
    I found a solution in case your MATCH is still buggy...
    JUST BOOT YOUR MAC HOLDING THE SHIFT KEY (until you see a progress bar).
    Then in itunes disable and re-enable iTunes Match.
    It should rescan all your library and eventually works.
    At the end just reboot your Mac normally.
    Best regards from Paris.

  • Can I get Quick time video on iPad 2? Specifically, when I receive an email with quicktime on it, it will not play on the iPad.

    Can I get Quick time video on iPad 2? Specifically, when I receive an email with quicktime on it, it will not play on the iPad.

    Hello.  I have AV player hd.  When I touch and hold the Quicktime icon that is in a received mail message, a prompt comes up "Open in AVPlayerHD".  I click on that and a black screen opens up with the following on it:
    1--A red line at the top with a short white slider button on the right hand side.  There is a time listed at each end of the red line that says 00:00
    2--On the left hand side of the screen, near the middle, there are 4 icons, a colored 'x', a dialogue icon, a circular arrow and an 'i' in a circle.
    3--On the right hand side there is a + and a - sign with '1.00x' in the middle of the two.
    4--At the bottom of the black screen is a play icon plus forward and fast forward icons.
    When I press the play icon it changes to a stop icon.
    So, even though I have AV player I cannot play this Quicktime slideshow.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    I had the same issue I bought my MacBook Pro in Jan. my harddrive was bad and they had to replace it. I know the guy held down the shift botton for a little then pressed the power botton while still holding down the shift botton and it turned on but not completely since my hard drive was bad.

  • I have iPhone 4S 32g Sprint,already cancelled a week ago.My question is,can I use at-t or t-mobile for a cheaper plan.any suggestion would do appreciated,by the way my phone has micro sd card.Have a nice evening to all the apple user's

    I have iPhone 4S 32g Sprint,already cancelled week ago....My Question is if I can use any carrier like at-t or T-mobile for a cheaper plan....By the way my phone has a micro sd,any suggestions would appreciated,have a nice evening to all the apple user's & thank's....

    I strongly recommend against switching to tmobile. They seem cheaper up front, but their "unlimited" data cuts you off at a certain point. They will even send you messages saying that you "went over your limit." Not only that but they sneak in fees, charges, and services that were never agreed upon making your bill more expensive. And forget ever trying to change your contract. They'll change it for you, but what they don't tell you is that they are roping you into another 2 year contract from that point on. No paperwork, no signatures, no nothing. They just screw you.
    But other than that, yes you can unlock your iphone and use it with them. Though I wouldn't if I were you.

  • I have a HP infared capshare 920 scanner I am having trouble getting my iMac to recognizing it.  I purchased a irda specifically for the imac and it will not  recognize scanner.  Does anyone have any suggestions on solving this problem?

    I am using a HP CapShare 920 handheld scanner and I would like to download documents onto my mac.  I purchased an IR778 usb port adapter specific for a mac, downloaded the required app for this.  The mac recognises the ir778 but will not recognise the scanner. Now it works fine on my netbook, yet I can not read the files they are so small.  I am looking for some help so I can use my much preferred mac.

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Macbook Pro will not reliably connect to our wifi router  - any suggestions?!

    Hi
    My partner has recently bought a second-hand (but fully functional) Macbook Pro running OS X 10.5.8 to set up in our home office.
    Our wireless router is not in the same room (it's in the living room via the hallway) but no other computer or device in the house has any problems detecting and connecting to the router.
    My partner's pc netbook and my iPhone 4S connect fine all through the flat. My iMac (located in the office) also has no problems.
    We have managed to get the Pro connected to the internet wirelessly a couple of times in the living room (although not all the time) but as soon as it is moved into the office the connection cannot be found or successfully connected to.
    Can't help but think that there's some little setting or something that we've not done that is causing the problem - seems odd that all the other devices connecting have never had any issues! I'm not completely technically minded, but have had enough experience with computers to feel fairly confident on them - just wondered if anyone might be able to suggest anything?
    The Network Preferences pages don't seem to be any help to me - I've tried several things in there that would usually help to rectify a troublesome connection.
    Any help or advice would be so much appreciated - my partner bought this Macbook Pro to replace her netbook and a reliable online connection is paramount as she is designing websites etc. with it!
    Thanks,
    Jimbanzee

    Hi JohnTh
    Thanks for your suggestion (and apologies that it's taken forever for me to try this out and get back to you)!
    I think I've done what you suggested but I think my lack of computer knowledge is letting me down as it did not work.
    I went to Network in System Preferences whilst connected to the internet via Ethernet cable, and managed to connect to my router, I then locked the changes, removed the cable and then restarted but straight away upon logging in, it had lost the changes and was unable to find the wireless connection.
    To be honest, it will not always find it when the ethernet cable is plugged in - in fact, I've witnessed it go from green light connection, having found the router and getting an ip address to amber without the ip address to not being able to locate the router (all whilst still plugged in on ethernet) within the space of about two minutes!
    I'm a bit hazy on the details of your suggestion when you say:
    Go to the wireless setup from here, and change the name to something that you can recognise. Make sure that it is password protected. Save it so that it'll write itself to its flash memory (your network will briefly not work).
    I went to the Network page of System Preferences straight away - is there somewhere else I should do the wireless setup? Our wireless connection is (as it is on my iMac which connects fine wirelessly) protected with a WPA2 Personal password.
    How do I save it so that the setup will write itself to it's flash memory? Sorry not sure where this is!
    I have also tried to remove the 'remembered' network from the advanced airport settings using the '-' button and then adding it '+' back in, but this also does not seem to work.
    We are planning on upgrading the operating system from 10.5.8 once we can get a secure connection - my partner is happy that she can connect to the internet via Ethernet cable but she is wanting to sell her PC netbook (in order to part fund the purchase of the Macbook Pro) and she's not happy to do so until she can connect wirelessly successfully!
    Finally, thanks for all your help and suggestions - really appreciate it and hope to find a solution!

  • My brand new iMac will not power up after an update restart, any suggestions?

    Any suggestions on why my IMac will not power up after it done a restart?

    Try an SMC reset and PRAM reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
    If that doesn't help:
    See if it will start in Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar, type your admin password when prompted, let it continue to (hopefully) boot. Restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If that didn't help, try booting into the Recovery HD: restart holding down Command+r and choose Disk Utility from the four choices when they appear on screen. Once DU has launched select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets changed click on repair disk again until you get a clear pass, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If you still have problems, give AppleCare a call.

  • I had to get a new account on my iPhone due to some problems and now with my new account it will not let me download the same apps

    I have an Iphone 5 and i had all the apps on there that I wanted but then had to create a new account for the phone. I cant do the updates becuase of not having the same account I downloaded them on. So when I try to delete them and then get them again it says that it was already downloaded to this device and that I need to do it through my old account when that one is deleted.

    You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
    See Here for one way
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    Or...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • For some reason my 09' pages will not view documents created in Word 10'  any suggestions?

    For some reason my 09' Pages will not open any documents from 10' Word.  It simply opens up blank.  Any suggestions?

    I updated my pages and os.  I am currently running 09' pages and os 10.6.7.  The link I gave you earlier was not correct.  I have attached one I just opened up with microsoft word on another computer.  My pages opens up but is blank.  The link is below:
    https://www.vendorportal.ecms.va.gov/FBODocumentServer/DocumentServer.aspx?Docum entId=191194&FileName=VA-255-11-RP-0197-0004000.doc
    The only other thing is that word opened it up in compatibility mode and said that the document originated from the internet.  Could this be something that is causing pages to not open?  Thanks for all of your help.

  • Brand new iMAC, Mountain Lion installed, dashboard widgets will not download. Webpage times out. Any suggestions?

    Just purchased a brand new iMAC and sucessfully performed download and install of Mountain Lion (free upgrade). Discovered that dashboard widgets will not download as webpage times_out in both Safari and Firefox. Already set security to allow downloads from 'anywhere' but with no change. Downloads from anywhere else works fine, just widgets won't work, and I've been trying for several days now. Any suggestions? (firewall is off).

  • TS2755 My emails will not send on my iphone 5C?  Any suggestions

    My emails will not send on my iphone 5C?  Anyone have a correction for that?

    Hey pamela9801,
    I would first try out these troubleshooting steps:
    Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
    Try a different Wi-Fi connection
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Then, if that doesn't work, I would continue along with the rest of the suggestions in the following article:
