Totally confused! I just want to make one connection.

I have an iMac G5 and my wife a MacBook. She wireless and me connected to same Airport by ethernet. I want her to be able to back up to an external drive hooked to my iMac, so all I want is to set it up that she can mount this volume and back up to it. (she using DejaVu which can do this if I can get the settings right)
I have read all I can on this but can't figure it out. Way too complicated. Anyone able to guide this ignoramus through the steps?
Thanks,
Richard

You should also make sure that you are running the current iOS version for your phone. Your daughter would not have been able to make these purchases had you been using the current OS version because it asks for a password when making in app purchases.

  • Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

    Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

    Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
    If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
    If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

  • I want to take remote access from an iTunes library off of my iPad ...when I hit edit from the remote app it pulls that library up ..if I delete it I just want to make sure that I'm not remotely wiping out the library, just access to it from my iPad ?

    Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

  • I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

    I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
    Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
    help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

    lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
    Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
    But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
    Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
    Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
    Thx,
    DJ

  • I need to delete all my pictures off of my iPhone because I have run out of storage.  I have downloaded all pics to my mac but is my entire camera roll backed up on iCloud as well? I just want to make sure before I delete them from the phone.

    I need to delete all my photos off my iphone because I have run out of local storage.  I have synced with my Mac but also wanted online backup.  Are all my photos from the camera roll uploaded to iCloud?  I just want to make sure I can retrieve them after I erase from the phone and in case my Mac crashes.

    Import photos through iPhoto. (You will prompt to delete from iPhone when import competes).
    Backup your Mac. (At least the iPhoto Library)
    Backup to iTunes.
    Backup to iCloud. (Check in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage>your device name>Camera Roll ON).

  • Is this good usage? i just want to make sure

    i just want to make sure if this is good usage or avreage usage?
    i do want to note that i have been using my iphone none stop since i unplugged it.
    these are the apps ive been on
    messages < alot of this
    Kik < alot of this aswell not much
    facebook < some not much
    instagram < some not much
    app store < once the whole day
    pandora < minimal
    camera < once or twice barley
    apps open are only messages and kik the rest i have them closed

    There is no such thing as "good" or "average" usage.
    Does the battery life meet your needs, if it does, dont' worry about it.
    If it doesn't, a search of the forums will reveal dozens if not hundreds of postings about battery life.

  • Is there a way to color one thing in a black and white photo.  Example:  I have a picture of a tulip field and I want to make it black and white - which I have already done - but I want to make one single tulip red.  Help?

    No, you'll need an external editor for the job:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • I just want to make it go back to spry tabs default like when I started.

    I am new with spry tabs and I was messing around with the css changing things " this is how I learn trial and error" well I clicked something and it messed up my tabs and so I though no prob I will just start over but when I go to put the spry tabs in default it stays with the error it wont revert to default tabs. I just want to make it go back to like when I started.

    I don't understand, DWCC 2014 doesn't have Spry in it.
    Spry was abandoned by Adobe in 2012.
    Are you talking about the jQuery UI Tabs in DWCC 2014?

  • I imported a 17' MiniDV piece into iMovie and it's lost synch. How can that be? I have done no editing, I just want to make it into a DVD.

    imported a 17' MiniDV piece into iMovie and it's lost synch. How can that be? I have done no editing, I just want to make it into a DVD.

    Hi
    Do You mean miniDV tape (interlaced video PAL or NTSC) ?
    If so - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools of Choise if You want a DVD as result - They all discards every second line resulting in less quality.
    Sync. Problem - If miniDV tape - How was it recorded -
    Audio mode - Is Camera set to record in 12-bit 32kHz - Should be 16-bit 48kHz
    Recording mode - SP (60 min on a 60 min tape) or LP (90 min on 60 min tape)
    If LP-mode - Then You need - Same Camera as recorded - tolerances is to small even for a Camera of same brand and type to play-back.
    I would use FinalCut Express and a setting of PAL/N TSC and 32kHz audio if Camera is set to record in 12-bit
    If LP-mode - iMovie HD6 is more tolerant in Captuing than FinalCut and Imediatly after Import/Capture - Extract Audio
    And set iM HD6 to NOT IMPORT AS INDIVIDUAL Clips - to many drop outs to work.

    After 14 hours of inactivity your iPod goes into hibernation. It's nothing to worry about. Also see this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60945

  • "C" drive & Profile crash-so all attachments are in crashed profile? Just want to make sure?

    1-had C drive crash a few days ago and am rebuilding on new C drive > NEW copy of TB 24.6.0
    2-Had Local Folders on a separate drive > in Tools – Account Settings – Local Folders > set to previous location
    3-After studying many support responses is it correct that the actual attachments are still in the Profile on the crashed "C" drive?
    4-Searched all drives on "new" system and found no "Profile" or "*.mbox" files - where are they?
    Just want to make sure cause the mozmsgs/wdseml on the "separate drive" only have message text when imported. If this is TRUE then I've got to focus my effort on recovering the Profile from the crashed disk. Yes, I did not have a backup - my bad for sure.
    Thank you,
    Tom

    In Thunderbird, messages are stored as they are received, along with all headers and all attachments.
    In your profile, there will be folders with no extension, such as ''Inbox''. These are mailbox files. Each has an accompanying index file, in this example ''Inbox.msf''. You don't need the msf files.
    The profile folder is hidden, so to find it you'll need to enable displaying of hidden files.
    mozmsgs is provided just to make the message contents available to Windows' searching mechanisms, so these files are not important to your restoration task.
    I really don't like the business of setting mail account folder locations using the Local Directory option. It removes the particular folder from your profile and makes maintenance very much harder, since now only ''you'' will know where the re-located data lives. None of the usual techniques or tools for working with profiles will work with the detached data.
