More of a complaint wrapped around a question

My Airport Utility requires an ethernet connection to find my Airport Extreme. This is inconvenient. Is it normal? Is it some sort of security limitation? What if I had a few others around as range extenders?

I can think of three reasons why a Mac would be unable to connect to an AirPort Extreme without an Ethernet cable: (1) The Mac is too far away (as you guess). (2) The AirPort Extreme is in such a state so that it's not broadcasting a network name. (3) The Mac doesn't have the AirPort Extreme's network selected under the AirPort menu bar item.
You should be able to test the first possibility by putting your Mac next to the AirPort Extreme. As for the second option, if you're just starting to configure your AirPort Extreme, it will have a strange network name that may start with "Apple" (I can't remember) and ends in the last characters of its MAC address, as in "Apple Network 148def". If you see such a network name, select it. The third option should be treatable by doing a reset of the AirPort Extreme.

  • This is more of a complaint than a question. I hate the iOS 7 calendar. The view of my appointments is terrible. Is there anyway to have the old calendar setup back? Cathy

    This is more of a complaint than a question. I hate the calendar in the new iOS 7. Is it possible to revert to the old calendar system?

    We'll I can't comment on the South Park stuff but we are in agreement on the calendar. As mentioned by leonieDF and also by a friend I found a great app called Week Agenda Ultimate and it love it. It takes info from the iOS 7 calendar I hate and puts it in this app. It's perfect. For .99 cents you can't best it. Good luck!

  • "wrap-around footnotes"

    In various articles I am writing, I noticed that long(er) footnotes will not be broken up at the bottom of the page but the text with the footnote number will be carried over to the following page, where the footnote will appear in its entirety. This may leave a large gap in the text on the previous page.
    Does Pages not allow for wrap-around footnotes???

    Question asked and responded several times, for instance in:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7994853
    The response is NO.

  • In the Pages Program template on the 4 column page a text is wrapped around a violinist photo How do I prepare the photo for a similar result

    In the Pages Program template on the 4 column page a text is wrapped around a violinist.
    How do I have to prepare the photo to have a similar result.
    Thanks

    You need to have an image with a more or less even background or at least contrasting to the main part.
    Menu > Format > Instant Alpha > run the cursor over the parts you want to eliminate
    With the image selected > Inspector > Wrap > check Image causes wrap > click on 2nd icon > Text Fit > 2nd icon
    Play with Extra Space and Alpha to get what you want.

  • HT201272 I have recently picked up an Apple TV. When I go to the movies tab, there are less movies available there than there are in my i-Tunes account. I've done some looking around at questions from others, but haven't found an answer that works for me.

    I have recently picked up an Apple TV. When I go to the movies tab, there less movies available there than what is available in my i-Tunes library. I have 38 movies showing in my library but only 23 are showing in the Movies tab on the Apple TV. After researching this a little, there are only 23 movies showing under Purchased in the Quicklinks of my i-Tunes account. The majority of my collection are digital copy downloads that came from DVD purchases. Some of the missing movies were added in the past couple of months, the rest are a year-or-so old. I have done some looking around at questions from others, but I have not found an answer that will fix my situation. How do I update my library to get ALL of my movies to reflect that they were "Purchased"(as it says they were in their Properties)?

    The pros and cons of to CC or not to CC have been done to death
    Its a fact the CC model will work for some, especially newbies and small businesses.
    The risks associated with the CC model have been well documented.
    For long term users of CS perpetuals its generally a large hike up in cost compared to the upgrade system.
    Then there are the....... Adobe can rot it hell...... group who will never subscribe
    To each their own, you do the math to suit your cashflow whatever that is and then make an informed decision
    To those on the CC model, I'd like to offer some practical advice.........do not allow automatic updates.........make regular backups............develop an exit strategy of alternatives for when you can no longer afford the subscription costs............never ever assume that the Adobe update is bug free
    Enjoy your cloud

    Thank you for that post, and the advice. I just happen to be one of those who it does work for. I've been around long enough to know that CC isn't going to work for everyone(the large publishing/radio/web company I work for isn't upgrading to CC because of the costs involved). But it does for me as I potentially venture out into the full-time freelancing world and away from the more structured big office environment. I can't make decisions based on what is best for anyone else, or what will hurt or help Adobe. Just what affects me, and that's all.

  • Word Wrap Around?

    Okay.
    I'm editing my MA thesis and my chair wants me to use "word wrap around" and "left justify."
    I have never heard of either of these. He works in word and does not know anything about Pages as he has never used it. I can say the same thing about Word myself, so to each their own.
    Does anyone know how to achieve that effect in Pages?
    What he wants it to do is not break up words, but not for me to do it manually.
    Any formatting ideas?

    *Word Wrap around* is an odd expression. It could be either +word wrap+ which is what Pages does naturally, which is start a new line when it runs out of room on the end of the line, or he could mean +no hyphenation+.
    If it is the later you will need to set that in:
    +Inspector > Text (T) > More > "Remove hyphenation for paragraph"+ with the text selected.
    *Left justify* is just simply +Align left+, again in the Text tab (the 1st option in the Alignments buttons) or on the toolbar. Unless he means Justify which is align both sides of the text to the margins and spread out the words in between (the 4th option in the Alignments buttons).

  • I believe there's an option to the bookmark bar 'wrapping' around with the last bookmarks hidden from view.

    Before Firefox crashed last nite, I had them in 'two layers', but I can't remember how I did that to put them back.
    By that I mean the bookmarks wrapped around to a 2nd strip (instead of the last ones being hidden under the little >> sign at the right of the strip.)
    I want them back where I can see all of them at once.... TKU.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.

    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture? Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

    Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture?  Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a picture of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

    Sjazbec,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did read the help and went through the tutorial - the butterfly text wrap (and the wrap around the curved contour of the bicycle wheel at the Apple store) is the reason I am asking this question.  I don't know how to use one of my own pictures and tell Pages what contour to wrap around.  Is there some additional image editing software that I need to "creatively crop" one of my own pictures, so that Pages will be able to wrap around that contour?
    Thanks / Danke!!

  • Pointer Manipulation: Wrap Around/Rollover/Rotation of LabVIEW Arrays and Waveforms???

    I know we can't use pointers in LabVIEW, but I was wondering if there's any way we can do wrap-around [or "rollover," or "rotation"] of Array [or Waveform] values without having to make copies of the Array [or Waveform]?
    For instance, suppose I'm reading one second's worth of data into a five second buffer. After the first five seconds, I've got
    1st (1/5)th: 1st second's worth of data
    2nd (1/5)th: 2nd second's worth of data
    3rd (1/5)th: 3rd second's worth of data
    4th (1/5)th: 4th second's worth of data
    5th (1/5)th: 5th second's worth of data
    Now I read the sixth second's worth of data, and overwrite the [original] first second, so that I have
    1st (1/5)th: 6th second's worth of data
    2nd (1/5)th: 2nd second's worth of data
    3rd (1/5)th: 3rd second's worth of data
    4th (1/5)th: 4th second's worth of data
    5th (1/5)th: 5th second's worth of data
    and in C, or C++, I'd just move the pointer up to the second (1/5)th of data, and start from there.
    The LabVIEW Complex FFT is another place where this would be really useful. The Help File for the Complex FFT is in
    Help | VI and Function Reference | Analyze VIs | Signal Processing VIs | Frequency Domain VIs | Complex FFT.
    If you read the Help File, you see that LabVIEW returns an FFT with values in the range
    [0, 2n - 1)
    rather than the standard
    [-n, n - 1)
    i.e. LabVIEW takes the negative frequencies and tacks them on at the end, after the positive frequencies.
    I'd like to be able to view my FFTs with the negative frequencies where they're supposed to be [i.e to the left of zero], and this would be SO easy if I could just move the underlying data pointer of the Waveform forward to the halfway point.
    But, of course, in LabVIEW, I don't have pointers, so I was wondering: Are there any built-in VIs for Array [or Waveform] manipulation that will perform this sort of wrap-around [or "rollover," or "rotation"] of the data? If so, I couldn't find them. Ideally, such a VI would have two inputs: {old Array, new starting point}, and one output: {new Array}. Similarly with Waveforms, only you'd need to manipulate t0 as well.
    Or do I have to copy the entire data set to a new Array [or Waveform] each time I reach the end of the buffer?
    Thanks!

    > Ideally, such a VI would have two inputs: {old Array, new starting point}, and one output: {new Array}.
    Have a look at "rotate 1D array" in the array palette (second row, fourth column).
    (Sorry, I dont use waveform data).

  • Is there an easy way to make JSpinner wrap around at max/min values?

    I have several pages with a couple dozen JSpinners to set various values - mostly numeric, but some are not.
    I would like to make them wrap around when either the max or min values are reached.
    Is there an easy way to do this?
    I was hoping for something like an "enableWraparound" property, but I haven't found such an animal.
    I suspect I could add value change listeners to all the components and do it by brute force,
    but there are too many spinners scattered around to make that an option I would like to take.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Ok, it looks like custom spinner models are the way to go.
    Hopefully, I can create a couple that are generic enough to meet my requirements without too much pain.
    It looks like the ones I have already created will be easy enough to modify.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Text will not wrap around a photo in indesign cs3?

    we have tried EVERYTHING. we use adobe indesign for our school newspaper and for the past 3 days we have been trying to get one of the articles (text) to wrap around a photo.
    the photo is a simple rectangle shape. for all of the other pages, the text wraps around photos perfectly fine. but for some reason on this one page it will not wrap around any picture at all.
    of course "text wrap" is selected for the photo and we also tried going to the text frame options and unchecked ignore text wrap. that still didn't work.
    we tried putting it on "detect edges" and that also did not work. ):
    please please please if you have any suggestions, add them!!! we really need to fix this issue because this page needs these pictures!

    I just encountered the same problem, the text did not wrap around the image whatever i did. I found the solution on my problem, that i had an imagebox underneath the image, which i was not aware of. I discovered it when i deleted first the textframes and the image. After i deleted the second imagebox the text wrapped around the image as i wanted it!

  • Pasting images, editing, wrap around text in appleworks

    When I try to insert images into a text document in Appleworks, it will add the image, but the only thing I can do is resize it. I can't place the image where I want it to go, and I can't make the text wrap around it either.
    Also, is there a way to make flow charts, or add text to the shapes you can insert????
    Thanks!

    Hi Cristina,
    Images can be inserted into AppleWorks WP documents in two different ways—as inline objects or as floating objects.
    If AppleWorks is in Text mode when you insert or paste the graphic, it will become an inline object. These are treated as a single (large) character in the line of text, and their location is fixed relative to the text itself. Inline objects can be moved, within the line of text, by clicking on the object to select it, then dragging it to another position in the text.
    If AppleWorks is in Draw mode when the graphic is inserted or pasted, it will be a floating object. These 'float' above the text layer, and can be moved independently of the text, which flows under the object. If Text Wrap (go Options > Text Wrap) is applied to the object, the text will flow around it.
    You can change an inline object to a floating object using the following steps:
    •Click on the red toolbox at the lower left of the window to Show the Tools.
    •Click the object (graphic) to select it. A single handle will appear at the bottom right corner of the object.
    •Press command-X to Cut the opbect from the document and place it on the clipboard.
    •In the Tools, click the Selection Tool (Arrow) at the top of the Tools Palette.
    •Press command-V to Paste the graphic back into the document as a floating object.
    (•With the object still selected, go Options > Text Wrap... Choose Regular, and click OK.)
    You'll now have a graphich which can be repositioned at will, and which text will flow around.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • HTML lines wrap around in the HTML report output

    I seem to have a problem with lines wrapping around in HTML format. If the report is ran using the report builder the output will fit in every line without wrapping the information.
    While if I run the same report -- to present the info using a browser -- using JSP in HTML format, the same lines will wrap around the info in two lines.
    Here is how I send this document to the server :
    pwrmpos_n: report=pwrmpos.rep destype=cache desformat=html server=rep60_wforms2 %*
    Any help will be appreciated

    Hello Hernando,
    I am a little confused, the command that you describe is only for paper layout...
    Anyway, let's try to help you:
    - on your paper layout you specified a width for each column (when you resize it in the Paper Design window). When you run the paper layout with HTML (ot HTMLCSS) as format the width is present in the <TD> tag.
    - for the JSP, by default the HTML does not contains any size for the table and cell so the browser size the table to fit in the screen.
    If you do not want any wrapping in the JSP just modify the HTML tags to specify a width, or wrap for the TD tag.
    Regards

  • How do I get text to wrap around a jpeg photo. Pages instructions don't eem to work for me,

    How do I get text to wrap around a jpeg photo. Pages instructions don't seem to work for me. I'm just beginning to use Pages for other than simple word processing.

    I am creating a photo album with captions and have tried to have one caption wrap around a photo image that is part of a series of three overlapping and descending images. I have selected the photo, clicked Inspector etc. with no luck. I did read a previous answer re floating and noticed that both my text and my image have inline in light colour and floating in dark, which I presume means they are both inline. When I try to click on Floating in Object Placement, nothing happens. The option doesn't appear to be "available", unlike the wrap options below, which do light up and indicate what I want to happen. It just doesn't happen and I don't know how to solve the problem.
    I have had to replace my older computer on which I did all of these projects (newsletters, albums, etc.) with an old version of InDesign, which no longer works with the newer OS 10.6. So I'm trying to learn how to do the same types of things with Pages, and it's somewhat frustrating, since text wrap was quite simple with InDesign.

  • String Array  Wrap Around

    Hello everybody,
    if I have a string array of say 10 elements, how would I go about shifting those elements to the right or left by one place, ensuring that what had shifted off either end of the array would "wrap around" to the other end of the array?
    Thank you for your help in this.
    regards,
    THE_TH1NG

    You could use Arrays.asList() to wrap your array in a list.
    To rotate to the right, remove the last element of the list, and add it to the front of the list.
    To rotate to the left remove the first element, and add it to the end.
    The changes made via the list are written through to the original array you had.
    Alternatively write a couple of methods that will do it by hand.
    1) store a reference to the array element that will wrap.
    2) loop through the elements in the array, copying them into the next element up/down as appropriate.
    3) put the stored element back at the start/end of the array as appropriate.
