Adding info to the about window

how do you add text to the 'about this app' window.
I'd like to have some words in bold if possible, thanks.

The easiest way to do what you're wanting is to create an rtf file named "Credits.rtf". You can use TextEdit to create the file. Format the text in the rtf file the way you'd like, save it to your project folder. Then in Xcode add the file to the Resources group of your project and make sure it's also added to your target.
The contents of your Credits.rtf file (or Credits.html, or Credits.rtfd) will be automatically displayed in the standard about box.

When I access the address book, how can I copy an address without having to open the person's info in the edit window?

When I find a person's address in the address book and highlight their name in one pane, in the lower pane their info shows up. Unfortunately, highlighting the information I want is disabled. So, I open their info in the edit window, and then click on the appropriate tab.
Getting a single piece of information is not so inconvenient, but when you're putting together lists it is rather onerous to do it that way.
Being able to highlight and copy off the address book panes would be cool. Thanks

In an earlier communication, I had said that this was possible, at least with TB on Windows, but I realize now that it's only possible when a certain add-on is enabled: [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook]
http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
Install the add-on, and see if you can now highlight info in the Contact Pane by dragging the cursor. Ctrl-C (or the Mac equivalent) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.
You may notice that right-clicking an address in the Contact Pane now shows a Copy command, but a bug in the add-on prevents this option from being active.

Is it possible to print the info. from the help window. (ex. how to create a smart list)

is it possible to print the info. for the help window. (ex. how to create a smartlist... i tunes)

Yes, click the gear icon and select print.

Wrong path written in the 'About' window...

Hi,
I have noticed that in all custom forms, although i followed the steps written in some metalink notes regarding the development of custom forms and the integration of the EBS system, the whole path is something like that...(in the 'About' running form Window):
<$FND_TOP/forms/US/<filename>.fmx>
instead of
<$XX_CUSTOM_TOP/forms/US/<filename>.fmx>.
Of cource searching for the forms in the $FND_TOP/forms/US dir they do not exist there...!!!
In all the system forms (gl,inv etc) the full path referred in the 'About' running form Window are what expected....
<$PRODUCT_TOP/forms/US/<filename.fmx>>
I wonder if this is some kind of bug... or what else might be...????
Note: I use EBS v.11.5.10
Thank you,
Sim

The custom executable forms exist only in the $XX_CUSTOM_TOP/forms/US/ and $XX_CUSTOM_TOP/forms/EL/ dirs and not in $APPL_TOP/forms/US/ or $APPL_TOP/forms/EL/. In the two last referred dirs only the source files exist....as they should...
Thank you,
Sim

I deleted over 200 self taken videos and over 500 pictures in the Moments window in my photo tab. They deleted but still show in my setting in the About window and I haven't gained any additional storage capacity. What do I do now?

I deleted over 200 self taken videos and over 500 pictures in the Moments window in my photo tab. They deleted but still show in my setting in the Setting/About window and I haven't gained any additional storage capacity. What do I do now? Please help! Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

Check the Recently Deleted album. Deleted photos will reside there for up to 30 days. This allows all those people who accidently delete photos to recover them, something they couldn't do before. To actually free up the space you might have to delete the photos in the Recently Deleted album.

Combining multiple pdfs and then adding info to the blank fields.

i combined multiple pdf's together to make one package. The forms had text field in each of them, when i combined them i tried to add text to the blank spots and the info autofilled from page one on to all of the pages. I do not want this to happen. when i go to the tasks-> Forms-> Edit fields, it brings up each page with the text box and a number next to each one that page. All of the pages have some numbers that are the same and i can not change them so the info does not fill in from info on other pages. How do i stop this?

Do you need the fields to remain interactive or need to extract the field data after you merge the document together?

I am runing FF 11. When I go to the about window, it downloaded a patch. How do I know to what version the patch will take me?

I am running windows XP-SP2. I just don't want FF11 to upgrade to FF12 as I already have that installed in a different directory. I need to be able to have the two installed side by side (but not necessarily at the same time).

hello, the update will bring you to the latest release version (=firefox 12 atm).
in the past i found it practical to use a portableapps-version when i needed to run different versions beside my main installation. those can be extracted into a single folder & they have a different profile folder, so changes (like switching off auto-update in tools > options > advanced > update) can be made without affecting the installed version.

Chaging the info in the settings window

I have a new email address and want to change it. When I try in settings window it has some boxes that let me enter data but my email is set. How do I do this?

My mistake, my OS is 10.9.4.
Thank you for your reply.
I guess, I really don't understand iCloud and how files are stored and where. I gather when I was asked to set it up I should have declined. Anyway, it looks like some of my files are stored in the cloud. If I shut off "documents" in the preferences it will remove those docs from my macbook, but they will remain in the cloud and I could get access to them for another computer if I set it up.
I also gather to avoid this, I have to, on a file by file basis, save them to my mac and then they will be on my mac. What I don't get, is that these files must exist on my mac because I can edit it without being connected to the internet. Maybe those files I see when disconnected from the internet are on my mac and I wouldn't be able to see cloud files unless I was connected to the internet.
My concern is that when I deselect "documents" in the iCloud preferences it warns me that those documents on my mac will be removed from my mac. I am afraid to deselect "documents' or "calendars" as a result.
If I seem confused, I am. Please don't feel obligated to reply if my message is too muddled.

Customizing the "about Application" window

I know that the version number can be changed for the "About" window for an application by using the info.plist, but is there anything else I can do to it? or do I have to make my own custom about window?
Thanks

Disc mode. Misleading info in iPod Settings About window

Hi, I have just bought and used the new iPod 80Gb. Computer is PowerBook G4 1.67 with Mac OS X 10.4.8. As well as the reported ERROR (-48) I have noticed that the Settings>About window on the iPod shows only the space taken up by my iTunes music library (3Gb at present). There is however another 40Gb taken up in disc mode by my Pictures folder which I copied from the Mac HD to the iPod. I would expect this to be reflected in reduced storage space in the About window.
Any reason for this? I am also hoping Apple will fix the (-48) error as it is really annoying on a brand new piece of expensive hardware and I am reluctant to apply my own fixes. Firmware is 1.2.1 - the latest. Once it is all fixed it will be awesome to be able to listen to so much music AND store so much back-up of other files.

Macbook pro 15 discrete graphics not showing in the about this mac tab

I am new to osx. I was wondering why I couldnt find the discrete graphics info in the about this mac window. It simply says intel hd 4000. I was wondering whether or not I need some drivers for it.

I assume you mean under the "Display" tab when you click "About this Mac" > More Info...
This only shows the active graphics card. To see the full specs, open "System Information," either under "Overview" Tab > System Report, or from the Apple Icon in the menu bar by holding down the option key and clicking "System Information." Under hardware > Graphics/Displays

About window not closing

When I go into the about window for Adobe Reader X it shows the relevant paces and I have version 10.1.11. I am then unable to close the window by selecting the red cross and the window just stays. The only way I can close the window is going into to taskmanager and closing the program

YOUR RIGHT. Worked first time. Thanks

"About" Window for Plug In in OS X

Hello,
I can edit the text inside the "About" Window for Plug In's in Photoshop under Windows.
I was wondering, how can I have an "About" window for plug in's in OS X?
Is there any sample code with working "About" window in OS X which I can edit its text?
Thank You.

Here is what Dissolve on mac does: See samplecode\filter\dissolve\mac\DissolveUIMacCocoa.cpp
// DoAbout
// Pop a simple about box for this plug in.
// NOTE: The global gFilterRecord is NOT a FilterRecord*. You must cast it to
// an AboutRecord*. See PIAbout.h
void DoAbout(void)
NSLog(@"DoAbout is: %d\n",AboutID);
NSAlert *alert = [[NSAlert alloc] init];
   [alert addButtonWithTitle:@"OK"];
   [alert addButtonWithTitle:@"http://www.adobe.com"];
   [alert addButtonWithTitle:@"http://partners.adobe.com"];
[alert setMessageText:@"About Dissolve"];
   [alert setInformativeText:@"An example plug-in filter module for Adobe Photoshop."];
   [alert setAlertStyle:NSWarningAlertStyle];
   int buttonPressed = [alert runModal];
   if ( buttonPressed == NSAlertFirstButtonReturn) {
NSLog(@"DoAbout ok clicked.\n");
} else if (buttonPressed == NSAlertSecondButtonReturn) {
sPSFileList->BrowseUrl("http://www.adobe.com");
} else if (buttonPressed == NSAlertThirdButtonReturn) {
sPSFileList->BrowseUrl("http://partners.adobe.com");
[alert release];

Why is "more info" greyed out in the About This Mac window?

RE: MacBook Air running OS X 10.6.8

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

In the Aurora "about" window it notes it automatically sends Mozilla info like usage and performance, etc. Does disabling telemetry etc in options disable this?

As the questions says, does disabling the telemetry options in the browser settings disable any information, usage, and performance sharing as it does in Firefox proper, in spite of the blurb in the Aurora "about" window?
