i subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music - i think it keeps trying to find on the external harddrive where i used to keep my music

Of course iTunes is looking for the music on the external HDD. Enabling iTunes Match does not magically change the location of the iTunes library to the cloud.
To play the music either plug the external HDD back into your computer or create a new, empty library to use for streaming the iTM content. The latter can be accomplished by holding down the Option key when launching iTunes, choosing "create library" then enabling iTunes Match on the new library. DO NOT have iTunes scan your HDD for music.

    I just got an iphone4. I downloaded a song but i don't know how to make it my ringtone for incoming call. Can someone help?

    YOu can't use the whole song for a ringtone, you would have to create one 30 second or less.
    YOu can download an app to create the ringtone.

  • After downloading a game, my macbook air desktop screen changed. I don't know how to make it back to the way it was. Help?

    My problem is that my apps are smaller than before, and on the two sides (not shown) there are empty black spaces, like the actual screen compressed to the center. The quality of the menu isn't clear like before.

    Open the Displays preference pane and set the Resolution to Best for display.

Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

  • Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.

    Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.?

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • I don´t know how to make a phone call whit my ipad...and how to sent a message? is it possible?

    i don´t know how to make a phone call whit my ipad...and how to senSeleneGMt a message? What do i need? or is it impossible?

    You can't; not natively, anyway, since the iPad is not a phone. If you want to make a call, you'll need to use some third-party Voice-Over-IP service such as Skype.
    I'm not sure what you're asking when you ask about sending a message. If you mean a text message, you can either use iMessage, which can send messages to other users also running iMessage, or you can look in the iTunes Store for SMS apps, a few of which are available. They use separate services to actually send the message and so require an Internet connection, either WiFi or 3G.
    Regards.

  • Hi my name is Catherine I have downloaded digital editions and a book to my PC but wish to read this on an iPad. I have downloaded Digital Editions on the iPad and don't know how to authorize it. Will the book automatically download onto the iPad once tih

    Hi my name is Catherine I have downloaded digital editions and a book to my PC but wish to read this on an iPad. I have downloaded Digital Editions on the iPad and don't know how to authorize it. Will the book automatically download onto the iPad once tihis is done and I open my account on the iPad?

    YOu can also use Bluefire Reader for reading books that need an Adobe ID. There are several ways to transfer a book to your iPad. One way is to email the acsm file, open the email on the iPad, and "Open in ... ". Another way is to use an app like Dropbox. The third way is to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and under  Settings select Apps. Scroll down to the File Sharing apps, select the app you want the book on, on the right select Add, navigate to where the book is on your computer, and select it. Open the app on your iPad and it should load.

    I lost my Iphone, I know I have the ability to find it, but I don't know how... any suggesting on how to track it...

    Do you have find my iphone enabled on you iPhone?
    If so you can locate, play a sound on, track, remotely lock, or erase your lost iOS device. You can use Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find on any Mac or Windows computer, or download and use the freeFind My iPhone app on an iOS device.

  • How to make it look like the actors are watching TV

    Hi,
    I am looking to add an effect in Adobe Premiere Pro CC to make it look like the actors are watching TV in the dark. Just a soft pulsating, bluish-white light that may vary throughout. Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried scouring the internet but haven't found much. I'm a beginner for sure, but trying to learn!
    Thanks so much,
    -Andy

    In the effects panel type "light" in the search box. This will bring up all the lighting effects in Pr. Adjusr/Lighting or Stylize/Strobe might work for you. There are a lot of adjustments you can key in until you find what suits your needs.

  • How to make it look like the camera is following a zig zagging line

    I have an animated video where a person clicks a button and an arrow appears coming out of the right side of the computer. I would like to make it look like the camera follows the arrow as it zooms along a zig zag path and eventually ends at another computer.  Does anyone know of any good tutorials for this? 
    Thanks,
    Paul

    This is just a matter of keyframes for camera position and point of interest.You are probably not going to find a tutorial that exactly matches your project. Try this:
    Open up 2 views, one active camera, one top view.
    Set a position keyframe for the camera where you want the movement to start.
    Drag the point of interest to point at your subject (animated arrow)
    Using the top view and setting the CTI (current time indicator) to the end point of the camera move, move the camera's point of interest  to the same position as the animated arrow
    Still in the top view, move the camera to it's final position
    Using the pen tool (keyboard shortcut g) add points to the camera position path and drag them into a zig zag shape using the top view
    Selecting the Point of interest in the timeline, adjust the position of the point of interest to follow the arrow as it animates across the screen by moving the CTI and setting new positions.
    Another thing you could do would be just to use a lookAt expression for point of interest. This would keep the camera pointed at the arrow.
    Hope this helps. Animating a camera is one of the most basic skills an AE artist should have. It takes a bit of practice but it's not hard.

  • Now that I erased my songs I don't know how to download my songs off iTunes

    I had unwanted songs on my iPod so I erased everything. Now that I have started over, when I go into iTunes I don't know how to get the songs to download onto the iPod again. Can you help me?

    How have you got the iPod set to update? If you are updating manually then drag what you want from the library to the iPod icon. If it's set to update automatically you just need to connect the iPod and iTunes wiil do the rest.
    For info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
