"With all due respect, I disagree most vigorously.
I can find nothing like this either in the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, or in the Community etiquette. I quote from the latter:
'Apple Support Communities exists to enable community members to help each other get the most out of their Apple products and services.'
In my book, helping a community member to use Microsoft Word (or any other legal third party software) effectively on his Mac certainly qualifies as helping him to get the most out of his Apple product."

I would like to make a movie of me speaking while doing a power point presentation. I have seen this done with the powerpoint embedded on the screen and the speaker doing the talking on the rest of the screen. Is it possible to do this in iMovie?

sure.
the ppt has to be some kind of 'video' iM supports.
so export it from with MS Office as a Quicktime movie, preffered with 'Animation' codec, or as appleintermediatecodec .. for quality reasons.
you need the Talking Head as a 2nd video.
then use iM's Pic-In-Pic feature to combine both videos as wanted.
I would suggest to do some editing (you full-screen, the ppt full-screen, perhaps 'close ups' of some charts, cut-aways to snoozing audience, etc) to 'pep' the video. for this purpose, it could be much esier to export each slide from within PPT as a jpeg and create the 'flow' in iM only... except, you need the ppt-animations ... but, who uses animations in a presentation anyhow ... ?

Why does my mouse pointer change from a hand to a downward facing arrow sometimes?

the-edmeister, you are a genious. I went to "view" then "toolbars" and de-selected "yahoo toolbar" and then moved the curser over my firefox page and it now works completely including the problem area (the top 3 cm of each screen). Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have no idea how good I feel know on this otherwise cold, windy and rainy day.

Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?

Hi,
Thanks for reading this.
Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?
This JUST started happening only 4 days ago.
Most recent installation was Limewire, but I removed it to see if this problem would go away.
I have 3 internal drives (See drive types below) that all have OS 10 on them in order to be able to boot up from either drive in the event of trouble.
However...
No matter WHICH drive I use as the start up drive... the computer STILL restarts itself after it is properly commanded to shut down.
Prior to the Limewire install... the ADOBE creative suite was installed.
There is a Lexmark X83 printer hooked to the computer, which, it seems doesn't matter if it is left on or off... the computer still restarts itself.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, Tommy!
If you still have problems, trash the following three preference files, then shut down and do a PMU reset. (PMU reset procedure for the QS is the same as is shown at the link for the Gigabit Ethernet.)

Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Why does the wheel for the apps close and how to keep it open?

why does the wheel for the apps on the tool bar close and how to keep it open? i've checked thru all the information on your site..

Exactly which driver did you downlaod and from where? By "GET STRAT", do you mean one of the Getting Started VIs? Error 5 means "NI-488: Command requires GPIB Controller to be System Controller." Are you using GPIB to control the instrument? If so, what type of board are you using and which version of VISA and NI-488? If the error only occurs on a read, try issuing the query from MAX and see if the error occurs there. In a couple of the Xantrex drivers I looked at, there seemed to be some fixed delays after a write and before a read. You might try increasing those values to see if that makes any difference.

Why does Flash add points when I "Undo"?

I converted a bitmap to vector. I am removing all the useless extra points which get created in that process. Occasionally I will mis-click and end up moving or deleting a shape. When that happens I want to use "undo". But ctrl-z and undo from the menu do not simply undo the last action. It also goes and adds useless extra points all over the place. Why? Is there a way to make it quit doing that? It looks to me like it is a very bad bug.

Has anyone else even seen this?
1) Import a graphic.
2) Do Modify > Bitmap > Trace Bitmap
3) Remove some of the extra points
4) Press ctrl-z OR do Edit > Undo Undefined
5) RESULT: the last action is undone, but several more extra points are added at various places in the graphic
Please let me know if it happens or not.

Why does my mouse pointer have a "no" symbol attached?

My mouse pointer has the symbol attached. I can move the pointer, but it does not do anything. It's like it is frozen.

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ($). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

Why does the Adobe Help Manager not close?

I'm not sure what the "Adobe Help Manager" (silly name) is. I notice it as an open application in my toolbar (Windows 7) but you cannot close it. It just stays there. Only goes away when I've restarted my system. Any ideas or comments?
Generally speaking, I'd like to comment that many of the current Adobe programs (including CC) are not nearly as intuitive as they should be. One wastes quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to accomplish rather obvious functions. Usually will have to go online to find an answer. Should be more obvious and clear. The interface of CC (for uploading work files) seems a "clean" design. Yes, clean... and unintuitive.

It's been weeks since I've used the file upload 'cloud' function of Creative Cloud, but I do recall I had to seek out numerous youtube videos, as well as some from Adobe's site, to try and figure out how it worked. Dragging and dropping seemed like a very obvious function, but you have to select: Actions: Download, etc. etc. It's a clunky, dispiriting interface.
So... I just started using google drive instead. I can quickly drag and drop. I work on a PC and a Mac and don't have a shared drive between them (due the usual platform issues) so I like uploading to a cloud server and transferring between the two machines that way. Very nice to compare how the two different systems are displaying an html doc or a photoshop file.
While the wind is at my back, I really like CC as to the software options, but it is a very daunting experience to consider learning new programs. It's taken me fifteen years of work to be as proficient as I am with PS (as a photographer and designer). I still find Dreamweaver very difficult and obscure in so many ways. I'm sure that's why you created Muse... but I will not take the time required to learn and new program. It's just a face. Remember in the Matrix when you would learn a huge amount of technical knowledge just by plugging into something? That's what we need (ha ha).
Now that Adobe is doing away with the distributive disc system for software programs, perhaps the next great leap is the discontinuation entirely of massive software progams themselves. Have no idea how this would happen, but I think patience is coming to an end for learning huge new software programs. Seems like such a relic of the past now.
Wish Adobe would bring designers more into how their programs work. They all seem to be designed by software engineers, and thus the truly disheartening style of the menues, opening into dozens of submenues, basements, dark vaults, etc. etc. The Adobe interfaces are all uniform now, but it's an old look that goes back almost ten years. Hope the creatives can soon lead to a new approach.

Why does my power adapter sparks and crackles?

I have 2 power adapters and when I plug them in they spark and crackle. I want to know why since I went out to buy a new one and had it awhile and now its doing the same thing. Is this dangerous to my computer?

Wendy,
You're not giving us a lot of information to go on. However, my guess is that you have the power adapter plugged in, and then you plug in the PowerBook. If that's the case, sparking at the DC connector is normal. If you want to eliminate the sparking, and the associated stress to your PowerBook: plug the power adapter in to your computer, and trhen plug the power adapter into the wall.

Why does iCloud appear each time I close Mail?

Why is it that when I close out of Mail and go back into Mail, the iCloud inbox is the first to appear? So, basically each time I close the Mail program on my iPhone 6 Plus and go back to it, regardless if new mail has arrived in the other three accounts I have set up, I am in theiCloud account and have to press the back button at the top of the screen to go into the account where the mail has arrived. It's sort of annoying to have to go back to the account where the mail has arrived. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I don't think I understand your question...
I just received an e-mail(your reply), and Mail was totally closed. I pressed the Mail icon with the little 1 in the corner and instead of it going to list of accounts or the "mailboxes" screen, instead it went directly into my iCloud account. My friend's iPhone 6 goes directly into mailboxes when he presses the Mail button. Mine does not.

You will need to take this up with Apple - we are just users here, so we cannot help with such questions. If this is your iTunes account, then I'd start here:

Why does my replacement ipad refuse to accept my gmail password?

I restored content to my replacement ipad from the cloud. But in trying to set up my gmail accounts, I get a "wrong password" error notice whenever I enter my (correct) password. Can anyone help?

try again. delete the account, and start from scratch. pay real close attention to the password entry, including capitals and any special characters.
At one point i got real frustrated with that same issue. to this day I do not know what the issue was. but i ended up going into my google account from a pc, and changing the password to a new one, then readded the gmail account to the pad and all was well. (you then need to updaye any other devices using the same g mail account)

Why does SQL Developer sometimes refuse to activate the debug controls?

I can find the procedure or package that I want to work in, compile it for debug, set break points, provide the required input parameters, and sometimes SQL Developer works as expected. That is, it activates the debug control buttons (step into, step over, etc.) But, other times, it just leaves them greyed out. Why? I find this frustrating.
OK, maybe my version of SQL Developer is a bit old, but I have seen this occasionally in every version of Sql Developer I have used. I now have SQL Developer 2.1.0.63. We have an Oracle11.1.0.7 database. I have a 64-bit Windows7 desktop. I think my Java version is also a bit old, but it seems to be compatible with the EBS R12.0.6 application that I need to support. I'm not a Java expert. If I go to a C:\ prompt, and type: "java -version", It returns: "1.4.2_04".

>

Maybe so but why aren't you using the latest 3.x version? There have been many bug fixes and new functionality since the version you are using.
>

You think? Java 7 is out so version 1.4.2 is definitely old. And especially if you support EBS because I think R12 itself uses Java 1.5

Did you notice that last line?
You may want to rethink your plan to use those older versions of Java and SQL Developer.
