My New Curve 8330! (few questions from a noob!)

So I finally got the Curve 8330 - I had been waiting all this time for the Thunder but decided yesterday that if my fingers are too fat for an iPhone, then they will be for the Thunder as well. Anyways, I LOVE the Curve thus far...just a few questions.
#1) Do the "messages" and "[email protected]" icon serve the same purpose? If so, which I think they do, how do I filter the "messages" icon so that ONLY my incoming SMS messages are shown??? As of now, the "messages" icon is cluttered with e-mail, SMS, bb mesanger & voicemail! I HATE THAT! I'd rather keep it clean and organized so that If i wanna view my SMS messages, I click on "messages" If I wanna view my bb messanger messages, I click on the bb messanger icon, If i wanna see my e-mails, I click on the "[email protected]" icon and so forth. Is there a way to filter it this way???
#2) When I send an e-mail, I automatically get THAT e-mail sent back to me! How do I disable this function? I have no need to recieve in my INBOX the e-mail I just sent out.... I tried going into "Messages->options" and turning the "hide sent" to "ON" but this problem still occurs...... Any help on that?
#3) I have this stupid "Facebook" icon in my menu, how do I delete this permanently?
Thanks everyone, I'm sure i'll have more questions as I'm readin through!

Yes, when you go into your messages and hit the menu key and select options and general options. Email and sms messages should be set to separate. Hit the back key to the right of your trackball to save. If you do not see an icon now just for sms and mms, do a battery pull. Take the battery out with the phone on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot does the icon appear now?

A few questions from someone new to Aperture (and DSLR photography)

Hi - I have just got my first DSLR camera (A Nikon D3000) and am trying out Aperture 3. I had a few questions which aren't all just necessarily Aperture related:
I have imported my library from iPhoto, however now all my albums are in alphabetical order, rather than date created. I only seem to have the option to arrange my albums by, "Kind", "Name" or "Manual". Any idea how I restore the date created order?
This may be too large a subject for here (I should probably buy a book on the subject), however JPEG, NEF and TIFF - I am shooting in raw mode which is generating NEF files. I had tried RAW+JPEG, but the basic JPEG this creates is really quite poor. The NEF files are generally around 7-12Mb. If I open them for editing in Photoshop, a TIFF file is generated in Aperture which looks to be over 8x the size of the original raw file, sometime over 100Mb. I then seem to be able to save it back as a JPEG at pretty much maximum quality which results in a file slightly smaller than the original raw file. Is it necessary to keep the large TIFF files once I've created a jpeg? Am I best off just keeping the finished jpeg and the original raw file in case I want to make changes?
When publishing to flickr, It would be good to be able to just publish the latest versions of all photos in an album. ie not the same photo in tiff, nef and jpg format. Is there an easy way to do this, or is it a case of manually picking each one?
Also - When uploading NEF files to flickr it would appear to convert them to jpg, which is kind of good I suppose, but does anyone know what level of quality the jpegs created are? Am I best off converting them to jpeg myself first and then uploading? If I did this then my albums would be full of duplicates in different formats, which leads back to my previous question about uploading just one version of each. That may be a question for the flickr forum...

You have jumped into the deep end with both feet.
With Aperture running select the single the Browser and you will find the sort controls under the Mobileme to New Smart Album icons depending on how stretched out you have the Inspector panel. There is the ability to sort by just about every parameter there either ascending or descending.
Can Aperture not convert your NEF files? You dont have to have Tiff files at all. See your Preferences regarding External Editor. How much storage space and your archiving requirements will influence your decision about retaining Tiff files.
I know nothing about Flickr but assume you will have to choose your own images. I doubt a Smart Album can select exactly what you need.
When uploading files online galleries generally optimise the images. You are wasting your time uploading massive Tiffs IMHO. Most web services work with jpegs I understand. Consult the Flickr help and support for their requirements and advice.
Enjoy your new hobby.
AW
Whether you have the room to save Tiff files as well as Raw files will probably decide whether you keep them or not.

Few questions from a new user

Hi Guys
I've had my 3gs 16GB for about a week now. I am absolutely loving it, but I have a few questions.
I am completely new to apple products. I had never used itunes before I bought my phone.
First question is about the battery. I know this has been greatly discussed and I have searched through the forums and have found just about all of the answers I was looking for, so this is more of a comment than a question. I was a little worried about all the issues people are having with their battery life, so I did a few tests. I am pretty happy with the results. I have the following settings:
wifi - on
notifications - on
brightness - ~40%
bluetooth - off
3G - on
push - off
fetch data - hourly
After 48 hours the battery is at 10%. Usage is at 5 hours which included mostly internet browsing on wifi, about 20 sms messages, and about 10 minutes of calls. This is about what I was expecting. The only question I have about the battery is about charging. I am going to charge it daily and once a month fully drain and recharge. I haven't found out if it is ok to leave it plugged in after it has fully charged. Do I need to take it of the charger when it is fully charged, or does the battery shut off and just use the external power source? Ideally I would like to charge before I go to bed and take it off the charger when I wake up.
Next question is mainly about accessories. I would like a good case that is minimal, but still providing protection from scratches. Are there any good recommendations or is it just kinda personal preference. Also, has anyone tried some of the screen protectors on the market? Can you tell that they are there, or do they give you any problems with the "touch" and "feel" of the screen?
Thanks

I don't use a protective case on my iPhone has I think it spoils the look of it. Instead I have a leather case that provides protection from the screen getting scratched and can be easily taken out when I need to use the iPhone.
The case I got has a soft velveteen interior which protects the screen from scratches. It wasn't cheap (£25) but it is well made and is lovely soft leather, and you can tell it will last.
Here's the link to it:
http://www.knomobags.com/eshop/knomo_product.asp?SS=5&C=84&CA=227&P=394
I have read though that some screen protectors can interfere with the photo sensors on the iPhone (there the 3 little dots that you can see to the left of the earpiece) whereby the screen will remain on or off when it shouldn't be.

Transfering data using switch device manager from old palm to new curve 8330....please help!!!

Trying for hours to import data using switch device manager from old Palm Treo and Palm Desktop 4.2 to my new Blackberry Curve 8330. Blackberry seem to connect...but second step of choising Palm or Mircrosort will not allow me to select anything. I do not believe Palm is connecting...Is my palm to old? If I cannot tranfer data this way, especially contacts is there any other way besides entering it into Blackberry one by one?

Hi there!
If the device switch wizard is not working, check this KB to be sure all of your Palm things are compatible and that you are using the correct process:
KB05459 How to use the Switch Device Wizard to switch from another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone
And then see this KB for some troubleshooting help
KB10722 BlackBerry Desktop Manager does not detect the Palm software when using the Switch Device Wizard
And if it happens that it will not work, then you will have to find out how to export from your Palm to an ASCII or CSV file...then you can import it with this process:
KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Few Questions From A New

what's up? new creative user, just jumped on board in april with a Muvo Micro N200 GB and bought my little sis a 256 Muvo TX FM. I just have a few questions for the experienced users.
. What's the point of the Zen Micro? Spend 80 bucks on a 5 GB player when you can buy a 20GB player for around 200 (Zen Xtra), what sense does it make?
2. Why doesn't the zen touch come in 60GB capacity like the XTRA?
3. Why is the Touch soo much more expensi've than the Xtra?
4. Why are people still buying ipods when creative is >>> the ipod in almost every way? Show me an ipod with 20 gigs that can hold 0,000 songs, FM radio, voice recorder, and with a 24 hour battery life.
5. why is Cnet.com sooo biased towards the ipod?
6. WHERE is the zen sleek available? I checked amazon.com - not there.
7. what's the difference between the muvo micro n200 and the zen nano plus that I've seen in walmart? features are the same.
8. Why doesn't creative include some REAL headphones with their mp3 players instead of those pieces of feces that they come with now? After spending 300 for a 40 gig zen touch, I deserve some decent headphones!
dang, didn't realize I had soo many questions.

Okay, let me give this a try:
. Simple - the Micro is smaller. For many folks, convenience and portability are more important than capacity. Try fitting an Xtra in your front pocket.
2. Again, it's a size issue. The Touch uses a single-platter .8 inch dri've. In any player the bulk of the space is taken up by the dri've and the battery. bigger dri've=bigger player. The Touch was designed to compete with the itty-bitty Ipod.
3. The Touch is a newer model that incorporates the whole "touch" interface. Newer things are almost always more expensi've.
8. No company provides decent headphones with their player. Have you ever heard Apple's headphones? Part of this is cost, and part of it is that for many people, especially audiophiles, headphone choice is very personal. It is akin to why most bikes don't come with pedals.

A few questions from a REAL beginner

OK, so I am very very very new to HTML, CSS and Dreamweaver and I have a few questions. But before I start let me just state that I have been messing around with HTML, CSS and Dreamweaver for like one week so take it easy if these questions are obvious.
1. Is there a way to create a type of "sign in" function that is relatively easy? Or do you have to have knowledge of many different scripts and languages to do so?
2. I would like to have an archive system where if I post an article on my site and then two days later i post another one it saves the first one i posted and can be viewed in some form over time. Is this possible?
3. If multiple people will be posting on my site is there a way I can have it set up where the articles automatically say "posted by _______" after each person signs in (If #1 is possible of course)
4. And lastly, this one is similar to #2 but is there a way to make a blog type setup in Dreamweaver? Yes, yes i know there is wordpress and I frequently use wordpress but you can only have on blog page per url and i dont like that. I am trying to be able to write multiple articles in a day and would like for them all to be reached pretty easily.
Thanks in advance to the brave person who will put up with my childish questions.
And just so you all know i would like for the person answering these to explain them as if they were talking to a child lol

Heya,
First you have to choose a scripting language in order for one to direct you to tutorials on how to use it. I recommend php as it seems to be the most widely used and supported. Then go over the the Application Development forum since that's where most discussions of this nature reside.
Whatever scripting language you choose you'll have to setup a database first. I recommend MySQL; again as it seems to be the most widely used. Then connect your database to dreamweaver through the Server Behaviors window. After that you can add server behaviors to help in your development. For instance Dreamweaver has server behaviors to create registration, signup, restrict access pages. Then you can have a page that uses a Insert Record, Update Record, Remove Record server behavior to add, edit, or remove blog entries into your database. After that have another page that uses the Recordset server behavior to get a record of the database. You can then display the record on the page by dragging the value of the recordset from the Bindings Window in Dreamweaver. There's also repeat region server behavior to repeat the record to show (all or) a set amount of entries like blog1, blog2, blog 3 etc. There's also a Paging server behavior to automatically create page indexes of blog entries so first 10 on one page with links to page 1, 2, 3, 4 previous, next, first last, etc. to show additional entries on respective pages.
Your best course of action is to have a definite agenda of development goals. First choose a scripting language, then setup your database. Connect your database to Dreamweaver, then add server behaviors. That's the workflow for dynamic development. After that creating your feature is basically only a matter of what server behaviors to use and what queries to run to your database. If you have any other questions about development it may be best to ask further inquiries in the Application Development forum. If/when you do ask in the forum about stuff like this then mention what scripting language and database model you're using.
Oh and also if this is your first venture into dynamic development then do yourself a favor first and setup a local testing server on your computer. What kind of computer are you using? Mac/PC and what OS version? There's different ways of setting up a local testing server depending on your computer and OS.
I am in the Application Development forum a lot so if you have any other questions regarding dynamic application development just hit me up there.
Hope that helps!

A few questions from a newbie!

Hello!
So, I am VERY new to using Mac productions and I just got my Macbook recently.
I have a few questions that may seem to have a very simple and obvious answer but like I said, this is all new to me...
1. Do I have to install a anti-virus/spam program? If so, which one?
2. Time Machine- this is the program to back up files right? when I try to set it up it doesn't give me any options for a back up disk.
Anything else that I should defiantly know please let me know!
Thanks so much!

Not unless you want to. I have had Macs for 2 years and never had a problem. This is a good one if you decide to install one. ClamXav
2. Time Machine- this is the program to back up files right? when I try to set it up it doesn't give me any options for a back up disk.
You need an external hard drive attached to use with Time Machine. This explains it.

This is info that will help you get the best life from your battery.
It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate or for a few minutes to use in another room. Have you calibrated your battery yet? You should calibrate every two months or so to keep the battery fully functioning. If you use your MacBook infrequently, it’s best to re-calibrate the battery at least once a month.
It is best not to use your battery unless you need to. Some people have hurt their batteries by charging then discharging every time they use the MacBook. This will age a battery very fast and cause you to buy a battery sooner than you should have too. Don't discharge the battery just because you used it. Li-Ion batteries prefer small charges over big ones. Use it and then plug it in as soon as you can. The only time my Battery is ever fully discharged is when I'm doing a calibration.
The following links have good information about the MacBook and the care of it's battery.

A few questions from a prospective GarageBand user...

My sister got a new Mac last year, and I love messing around on garageband, but I had a few questions.
I have only recently started to mess around with the non software instruments (i.e. playing an instrument or singing into the microphone that is built into the computer)...I was wondering, is there any way to hook up a better mic to the computer so that I could get better sound quality??
Also, instead of using the keys on my computer, is there any way I could buy a synthesizer at a place like best buy and hook it up to the computer and play it with Garagebad??? Would I be able to use all the "software" sounds that come with the synthesizer as well as the ones on the computer? Could it hook straight up to the computer, or would I have to use a microphone to get the sound off the synthesizer??
Thanks for the help!!

I need a "controller" keyboard in order to play with garage band
a controller to record MIDI (play GB's instruments), if you want to use GB like a tape recorder you could record the audio from a synth (keyboard) into GB
I can't plug in an electronic drum kit that I physically use drum sticks to hit
if it's a MIDI controller drum kit, than you should be able to do so with a MIDI interface. if not, like above, you could use GB liek a tape recorder and plug an audio out of the kit into the Line-In on hte mac.
playing the guitar on garage band as one of the external instruments, what is the best way to do it??
use an audio interface:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#interfaces
some people find pugging a guitar directly into the mac, though most do not:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#pluginguitar
(you can certainly try, it's nearly free, so why not)
Would I have to buy a good external microphone and just put it in front of the amplifier that the guitar is plugged into to get the best sound??
that's the way i do it, and to really capture that amp sound, I think it's best, though it's a little more complicated because you can't really plug a mic into a mac, again you need an interface/preamp

New T530 a few questions

I have a new T530 and just have a few questions.. (ok its at home as of typing this so some i can't test right away)
Swapping the fn and ctrl keys, from research I can do this from the bios, correct?
Is there a way to use the wireless switch to disable just bluetooth? or is this a bios setting as well? (yes I know i could disable in the device manager)
Is there a way to have the backlight on the keyboard turn on when using the keyboard rather than having to manually turn it on everytime?
also i have 16GB ram in this machine, but it appears some gets taken for the intel graphics, though I do have the nvidia NVS graphics option. is there a way to disable the intel portiion so i gain this ram back? (agreed, this is more of me complaining than a question)
last, I currently have the intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 (2x2 BGN) card, and was interested in upgrading to the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN, can i just get one from any store? or do i need the "lenovo" model. I would like to get th 6300 but it appears to have just 2 connectors instead of 3.
Thanks

Just got a new iMac, a few questions

Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop, and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant (I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool, that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I used to use AIM for this in windows
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering, it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad flicker, but I could see it.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course after 30 mins
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually against them, but I am expecting this computer to last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!) before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly as fast as Windows pc's.
Thank you for any help,
-Evan

Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
(I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
used to use AIM for this in windows
The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
iChat works well.
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
flicker, but I could see it.
No idea.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
after 30 mins
You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
against them, but I am expecting this computer to
last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
as fast as Windows pc's.
It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
Thank you for any help,

A few questions from possible Apple TV newbie

Hi all,
I am interested in buying Apple TV and have read the product description on the Store section.I have a few question as I don't quite get how it works.
I watch digital/freeview TV currently on my iMac using a USB eye-TV thingy. Works Great!
I share WiFi connection with my neighbour to get onto the internet. Good speeds, good signal and works great.
I don't own a 'regular' TV Set.
Would adding Apple TV work here? Can I connect this and make it work or am I missing the point completely?
Any pointers to user guides, previous posts or tips would be great.
Thanks y'all.

if you don't own a HDTV, TV is not for you IMHO.

Few questions from a beginner

hi there , i have a few questions first thing
is it possible to make every connector that comes out of a specific shape the same color , im building a map where 1 shape gives of multiple connections, i want them all to be in the same color, and the connections coming from the second shape are all in
a different color from the first shape
second question: how can i select all the connectors that pass in a particular area
i selected in the option select shapes partially in area, but it selects connectors that are NOT in the area that i selected
thank you very much for your help

There is no out of the box way for the first question but you can write a macro to do that.
Shape properties Shape.Connects and Shape.FromConnects can be used for selecting all
outgoing connectors of a shape programmatically. And then appropriate formatting (colors) can be applied on selection by selection.

Getting new MBP a few questions please

hi guys, new to the forum and soon hopefully new to Mac, looking at getting a Macbook pro 15" 2.4 (the new one)with 4 gig of ram. and I have just a few questions.
I'm hoping you guys can help me with.I'm a pro press photographer but unfortunately our company's required software is PC based so any of you that have used Vm fusion is it going to be fast enough to use on a daily basis with this models of MBP.It's the only thing i would have to run in VM. Any thoughts.
Second is it worth the extra cash to upgrade the hard drive to a 7200prm version , will it make much difference with CS3 and the like or will battery life take two bigger hit. (I cant see my self doing much video or motion)
I have already decided that the 2.5 is not worth the price difference for what i do, but any ones thoughts on that are most welcome.
great forums, cant wait to join the club look forward to all your thoughts.
cheers Cameron

I was in the same decision conundrum until last night. After a lengthy chat with the folks at the local Level 2 service center, we agreed that:
# Extra RAM is best purchased separately for the reasons explained elsewhere in this thread.
# AppleCare is a must on a portable, but is best purchased later, in about 10-11 months.
# The 7,200 RPM HD does make a substantial difference, especially for CS3.
# The 2.4 to 2.5 CPU difference is not in the speed but in the L2 cache, which can make a difference with well-written apps that exploit this feature. Hence, a toss-up. Remember that's one thing you can't upgrade.
# The 2.5 to 2.6 CPU difference is a $300 ripoff. 100 extra MHz are really not worth that!
# iWorks costs the same preinstalled or purchased separately, except you won't have to spend time installing it. Does your company have a corporate license for Office?
# I find that the reflections off the glossy screen really tire my eyes. YMMV...
# Parallels Desktop is considered more usable than VMWare Fusion by most users. BootCamp is too cumbersome since you have to be rebooting all the time. This is, BTW, a good reason to have 4GB RAM...
# Lastly, my portables last me 4-5 years, so I prefer to invest in something that can stay the course that long.
So, there you have it. I ordered mine last night...

P67A-G65 New build a few questions

It has been a while since I have built my last computer and have a few questions.
First I am using a G65 2600k, coursair vengence ram WD Sata 6gb hard drive ATI 6850 video card.
I have read that there are different settings for the hard drive in the Bios Like IDE and some other settings. what is the optimal setting for the hard drive?
Next, when i first boot up should i only install one stick of ram or can i put in both. I have seen different opinions.
If anyone else has any tips that can help me with the build i would appreciate it. I know there have been many issues with these boards but i am trying to do what i can to prevent any problems.
thanks for the help.

I have my drives set to IDE; but raid is probably the optimal setting. Note that raid does not require that you set up a raid; rather it allows for the most flexible protocol (i.e, raid will also enable ahci which allows for request queueing on sata drives). Why I did not use ahci; well I was daft when I did the install and I don't want to be troubled with reinstalling.
You can certainly install both sticks of ram; but if you have any issues then you will need to back-out to 1 to ease trouble shooting. I.e, the recommendation is that you start with 1 stick. In my build I went with both sticks and have had zero issues 'cept for bsod when the system enters sleep mode under high load (I suspect an eventual bios update will fix this issue though it could also be a windows 7 issue).
If you are going for a crossfire or sli configuration be sure to install the case cables before the vidoe cards as jfp2 will be blocked (the power led goes there if your case has a 3 pin power led).
It is probably a bit easier to plug in the sata cables earlier than later during the build; though this really depends on your case layout and how much clearance there is between the drive cage and the sata ports. Also video card 1 (if long) will sit over several the of intel sata ports. The ports are 90 degree so they are not blocked; but it is easier to plug them in first.
You should use the intel ports before the marvel ports; also it might not hurt to turn off unused devices in the bios (less wattage and less concern with drivers).
After the build be sure to run something like prime95 configured to use all the memory (torture test; custom set the memory to use) for 5 or 6 hours (some recommend 24 hours). Others recommend memtest but I've always had better luck with prime95. It is not uncommon to encounter a bad memory stick (can't really give a % but t 2+% would not shock me).
Don't overclock until testing other components (i.e, prime95). Once the system is stable be sure to enable xmp if you are using memory faster than 1333 and test again. Then bump the clock up (but not the multiplier). Monitor heat on first boot up in case the fan is not installed correctly (not sure if you are using stock or after market cooler). These cpu will auto shutdown in most cases before overheating but it is a good thing to fix

Questions from a "noob"

I am very new to Adobe CQ. I've been sifting through the scarce documentation and trying to come up to speed, but I've found it very difficult to find what I need. I think I'm at a point in which I understand (to a point) the overall architecture and how to do basic things (mostly theoretically).
I have a few questions that I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction on. I would really appreciate the jumpstart.
- Is it possible to access page component properties? I am trying to create a generic component that can look at a page to see if it has a component embedded within it. If so, I want to iterate over the properties. I am using the page manager to get the page. Are the component properties included with the page properties of that page?
- How can I make a component accessible to any page? I added a property to my template named allowedPaths (which is depracated?) and its value is /content(/.*)? That only allows the component to be visible to pages created at the root of my websites in the WCM.
- How do you make a page's dialog actually save the entries you enter? I added a new cq:Panel (etc) to an existing dialog. I followed the same form that was there before. Basically there were 2 tabs and I added a new one, so there is now 3. I see my fields etc. When I enter in data and click "OK", my field data is not saved. It works for the pre-existing form fields, but not in the one I just added.
I hope the above questions made sense. I'm having a hard time trying to find the information that I need to start feeling comfortable using CQ.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi spaceling,
Just as a general comment, it's a good idea to try to post a single question per thread. That helps with findability.
1) page component properties - yes. <cq:defineObjects/> creates a scripting variables named currentPage and pageProperties. See http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/howto/taglib.html for a list of all the scripting variables this tag creates.
2) which components are accessible on which pages is determined by the design settings. These settings are specific to each template. See http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/components.html#Adding%20a%20new%20compon ent%20to%20the%20paragraph%20system%20%28design%20%20%20%20%20mode%29 for some instructions on doing this.
3) my guess is that the fields you added don't have a proper name property. Are the name (which are the names under which the field values are POSTed all start with ./ ? See http://sling.apache.org/site/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servletspost.html#M anipulatingContent-TheSlingPostServlet%28servlets.post%29-OmittingSomeParameters for why this is important and why if you don't have it, the fields don't get saved.
HTH,
Justin
