When writing text before naming contact it doesn't allow you to choose contact

when writing text before naming contact it doesn't allow you to choose contact after finishing

That sounds strange... Here's what you can do... Select and cut the text message you have written, enter the contact name, the paste the message back in. Hope this helps!

Migration Assistant doesn't allow me to choose what drive.

Well, I got my new computer. I tried to migrate a drive from my old computer using Migration Assistant. and it doesn't allow me to choose what drive.
In my old computer I have 5 drives. The original HD (was 10GB, was replaced last year by a 40 GB) and on my Hitachi 250 GB drive that I added 2 years ago, there's a partition with 4 drives.
I wanted to migrate one particular drive from there (called Current work).
First I did a mistake. I connected both computer via the firewire in the afternoon when there was enough daylight so I don't have to do it later at night (the computers are under the table.) I thought it's OK since I'm not pushing any button yet ("migrate now", "transfer", and such).
I turned on the new computer and a message appeared: you must restart.
That's strange, I said to myself. it's a brand new computer. Usually It says that when there's a problem, but OK I restart and when it's back on, I see that my external drive (Neptune from OWC which was still hooked up in the old computer) is on the desktop. And it took just a few seconds. I open it and all the files, etc. are there. It did copy the whole external drive !
I'm not an computer expert but I believe the Mac Pro did notice that's there's a firewire hooked up and then, without asking me, migrated the external drive and that's why it asked me to restart. I would have prefer if it tells me "restart so migration can begin".
I don't mind for now that my external drive is on my new computer. I can always erase it if I don't want it. It is still external right ? so it doesn't intrude on the 640 GB of my HD so I just keep it.
But it also copied/migrate Mac HD 40 GB which is full of OS 9 and I almost never use it anymore. I don't want it coz it has applications and they advise not to migrate applications (certainly not applications with issues).
They say migrate folders, settings but re-install applications.
And it migrated also another drive called "Scratch" which has only personal date no system, no software.
Anyway, I erased everything and re-installed using the Install disk that came with the computer.
BTW, what they say in the manual (p. 90: Re-installing the software that came with your Mac Pro) is different than what really happens.
They say insert disk, double- click on Install and then click options in the "Select a destination" pane of the installer. Then click "erase and install" Problem is: there's no "Select a destination" pane. Or any options.
I had to go to Disk utility and erase, then re-install OS X.
Then re-install the applications using "Install applications" (the other disc that came with the computer. )
OK, I did that. Then while everything is empty, new, I used Migration Assistant.
Now here is the reason why I post this.
They say hold T key until you see a firewire icon then select a drive. I can't see when there's an icon coz I have only one monitor, so I just hold and hold the T-key and turn on the old computer. The screen shows "waiting for you other computer to restart" 2 min.... 5 min... 7 min. Nothing happens. I stop holding.
I look at the desktop and I see that the icon of the old 40 GIG Mac HD is there. (and I believe with a firewire logo, but not sure about that.)
I have the impression that if I kept the T-key longer it would have migrate the other drives as well.
They say keep the T-key down until you see the firewire (then let go I suppose. As I said I don't see what's going on on the desktop of my old computer so I kept the T-key for a few minutes. I also tried another time to let go after 1-2 min. No difference.
I shut down the new comp. and the old computer screen appears automatically (both are connected to the monitor; the old with analog port, the new with digital port) and sure enough the firewire icon is moving on the screen.
I go back to the new computer and put the old 40 GIG Mac HD in the trash. Actually, when it touched the trash, I just saw an eject icon and the drive disappear. Did not go in the trash which is empty. So I guess I ejected, not sure what's the difference but I looked for it to see if it's anywhere in the computer. Could not find it. Not in the HD, not in the desktop. Good, I don't want it there. Is it hidden somewhere ?
So I tried again but wondering perhaps the old computer should RESTART not turn on (it was off) so now I wait until it's on, then push restart. I hear the gong when it shuts off but that's it, no other gong when it comes back. I keep the T-key. But nothing happened. Just see the message "waiting for your other computer to restart"
PS: BTW Target mode (which seems to me similar to Migrating with "Migration Assistant") will not work for me because it must be SATA, mine is ATA.
I didn't try but read that it has to be SATA.
Is it the same ? In migrating they say hold down the T-key (T for target)
And how come that my 40GB HD which is ATA did migrate (not that I wanted too but still).
Also, this drive ("Current Work") that I want to migrate to the new computer is in my external drive. Can't I just drag it ? If it has only personal data, files and folders I know I can, but It has system (OS X) and applications. It's the one I use and boot on, in my old G4 but I want to transfer Files and folders and settings, so the new computer will know what are my Safari preferences, Automatic fill-in, and perhaps it will move my iTunes music Library too ?
Basically everything except applications. Although I would like my Nikon scanner to be in the new computer as well as the LaCie DVD recorder but I guess I can do that later, separately ?
What are the settings or info I need ? Because if it's just Safari preferences, automatic fill-in and other such small thing, it might be better to just do it again in the new comp and forget about the hassle of migrating.

Try getting into Windows and then plugging in the Superdrive. The drive will only be attached to one OS or the other, not both.

Cursor disappears when writing text?

I have a frustrating problem in CS3 that when writing a block of text, either with text tool or area text tool, that the cursor disappears. I need to see its new position after using the space bar or tab: ready to input the next piece of text.
It seems to be flashing some of the time if I click into the middle of the text block, but disappears where I want to continue it at the bottom of the text block?

This bug is still in Illustrator CS5
And it depends on aplication main window size!
Especialy if you have two monitors, document window is outside the main window and main application window is not maximized.
If you have application window smaller, than document window (in height), then where document height is still bellow application window height,
there you can see cursor. If you are editing text in position which is over the main application height, there is not cursor visible.
So, my solution is:
Resize main application window to the maximum size.
(And maybe you will need restart Illustrator)
(UPDATE: It depends on window width too! )

IOS 8.2 - Initiating new email from contact list doesn't allow send

To whom it may concern,
I have noticed a strange issue with iOS 8.2 on iPhone and iPad where if you initiate a new email from your contact list, it will not allow you to press Send because it is grayed out. This option works fine in 8.1.3 and all other options to initiate and send mail appear to work fine in 8.2. I realize this isn't a showstopper, but hopefully this will get addressed in a future OS release. In any event, support case 765105326 has been logged detailing the issue.
Thank you

I had exactly the same issue, I solved it by restoring my phone to a previous backup where I still have my contacts (I recommend you do another backup before) make sure you deactivate the synchronization of your contacts with your ICloud account so you don´t allow ICloud to erase your contacts again ( do this before restoring) , Once you get your contacts back download a contact backup app, ( i bought the MCBackupPro which you can also use for free if you have less than 500 contacts). Keep them in a safe place and just be careful not to active the iCloud sync tab for your contacts on your phone SETTINGS> ICLOUD>CONTACTS TAB MUST BE OFF. Go to iCloud.com and upload your contacts file (.VCF) on the cloud so you have them backed up just in case, I recommend you do this once a month or after you add many contacts.

My Firefox doesn't allow me to choose to save passwords

When I go into the "privacy" part of "Preferences", the check box and script which allows me to choose to save passwords is only in faint script and so is not functional. I am up to date with software downloads, at 33.02 and am using an Apple Mac of 2007 vintage.

hello nickfork, firefox won't save your passwords when you've set it up to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in the options > privacy panel).

I keep loosing pages when writing text

Love Lion but I gotta find out why this keeps happening. If I have a page open in Safari and I need to click to open a new page to write text as in a forum, it seems 9 out of 10 times I do this the page I'm writing on disppears before I finish writing resulting in loosing all the text I just wrote. I search for the page figuring it is behind or on the desktop but its just gone and is nowhere to be found which makes me have to re open a new page and re write the text again hoping it does not happen.
Anybody else have this problem?
RD

In Lion, anyone who can't spell "losing" has all their text automatically deleted.

> Could you write what are those fonts exactly so i can delete them
Were that it was so easy. Adobe makes over 1000 fonts. They know that those will not cause a problem. They can provide you with a list of those. There are another 900,000 fonts (I guess) in the world, and more being made every hour. Adobe does not track those, but knows that a small percent of them are defective, and can cause the problems Chris mentions.
The trick is to find which font is bad. I only use the Adobe fonts, so I never have had a problem. The people who search out free fonts through the web are generally those that get the diseased fonts.
The solution is to remove all fonts other than those from Adobe, Microsoft, and other reputable makers. Test if the problem goes away. If it does, then there is a bad font (or several) in the fonts you deleted. Add fonts back slowly, never more than a few dozen at a time, and test with PS after each addition. When it breaks, you know a bad font was in the last group of fonts added.
This will take a bit of time, but hey, they are free fonts.

How to install an app on ipod touch when it doesn't allow you to touch Free/install?

Unable to install any apps on my daughter's ipod touch. When you try to touch "Free" to install it, nothing happens. Have tried turning it off and on again.

This is a bug experienced by quite a few users lately that I'm sure Apple is aware of and working on. I have never had this problem, so I can't speak for myself, but I would try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

Ruler Doesn't allow me to choose a "place" that's not a point on the ruler.

Hi,
I'm having an issue, I'm new to illustrator. I'm busy with an Image, now i could use trace, but learning how to use the illustrator tools etc.
The Question is, i have placed a Guide Line on the art-board ruler, its not on a point on the ruler (5cm, 6cm, 7cm), its mealy placed between the points, in other words, a point will be 5cm, 6cm, 7cm; I've placed the guide line on about 5,3cm. Now i cant seem to a-line the square image to the guide line placement, it goes directly to 5cm or 6cm but it doesnt want to be placed between that point, eg 5.1cm to 5.9cm
I would also like to mention, when i use the transform window, it skips 5.1cm to 5.9cm and only gives me ...5cm, 6cm or 7cm etc. It only a-lines to the points on the ruler and nothing in-between
Help will be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
AppleBottom

Thanks for the quick reply and for the advice. But its not working, it still doesn't a-line it correctly.
Yay see i can upload an image, see below.
The black square a-lines to the "tini grey lines on the ruler" and that's it , cant a-line it to the Guide line
Can the below be fixed?

Mousekeys doesn't allow you to Drag and Drop

I have problems with RSI so I use mousekeys with Linux Gnome Desktop and with Windows. It also works well on my mac but not all features are available.
Normally the '+' sign corresponds to a double-click and the '0' to holding the mouse key down while you move the mouse (i.e to drag and drop).
Neither features are (currently) available on the mac (although the help suggests that the '0' can be used for drag and drop).
Are there any plans to provide full mousekey support in future?
It would certainly help me.

The NumPad zero works for me to click-and-hold, please double check that this doesn’t work for you. NumPad zero or five will release whatever you have grabbed with the mouse cursor. Do you need anything else for Drag-and-Drop to work?
You don’t need a separate key for double-click, just hit the five key twice. You can adjust the double-click activation threshold speed if you are just getting two single clicks in a row rather than a real double-click. People who need Sticky Keys with Mouse Keys tend to use other keyboard shortcuts (like Command-O for open) rather than double-click shortcut.
For “right” click, hold down (or use Sticky Keys) the Ctrl key with the NumPad five.
One nice thing about the Mac OS is that double clicking and right clicking are entirely optional. I wish drag and drop was equally superfluous, it is a barrier for VoiceOver users.
