Adding invitees painful - please help
I'm trying to add invitees to an event. When I type their name/email address ical goes wild. I type "m" and iCal changes the letter to something else. I try to keep typing. I type "Matt" and iCal gives me the following (over four separate tries):
jatt
pbrt
attt
hstt
This is so annoying. I've never seen something like this before. And I know that my contact "Matthew" is in my address book and in the list of contacts in iCal because sometimes I'm lucky enough to see the contact in the list and I can select it with my mouse, but I can't type the address in, even if I know every character. iCal changes the characters as I type them. It's crazy.
I read on a forum that I could use altcommanda to bring up my contacts and select from there. Well, I get the contact dialogue but none of my contacts are in there. What on earth is going on here? Help appreciated.
BTW, when I enter an address or contact in an event I get a yellow exclamation mark beside them. What's that? Thanks.

Learning Premiere and Photoshop is SOOO painful, please help...
I am a student who needs to take a school DVD and take pictures from it. I need to type, "what is this?" on the picture and save it. I need to type "It's a suchandsuch" and save it. So now I have two pictures. One with the question, and one with the question AND answer. I thought Premiere and Photoshop Elements were going to make my life sooo easy!!
I downloaded versions 9 (because you can't download 10, yet) on Sunday and realized it would do what I needed -although getting a picture out of Premiere 9 was ridiculously convoluted. I purchased the combo pack of versions 10 and played around with it long enough to realize they fixed the picture export problem and it was going to work well. I exported a picture from Premiere to Photoshop. I added text to it and got it the way I wanted. Then I saved it. Then I added the second line of text to it and saved it. Everything was rosy. All this functionality was over on the right side of the screen under the "edit" tab. I also noticed an option to save a text "style" or "format" or something along those lines so I could re-use it on the 100 pictures I will be editing.
Then I installed the "content pack" -all 2.45GB while I was doing something else. Now when I'm in Photoshop I don't have the same options under the "Edit" tab on the right. The text options are at the top of the screen and don't include a way to save a text "style". Perhaps it is called something other than style in Photoshop?? It's a new "language" to me... When I google "how do I reuse a text style in photoshop" in Google I get some crazy save a "shape" business, and a work-around from 2005 is number 4 in the Google search list. This is amazing to me. Of course I tried this because the help section was useless within Photoshop.
I get that this may all revolve around me not speaking the right "language" so I am unable to communicate to the Adobe "Help" gods what I am trying to accomplish.
The next thing I am going to attempt to accomplish is importing all the pictures I make in Photoshop back into Premiere and have them play as a movie with a 3 second pause on each picture. It seems logical and easy enough... Fingers crossed...
I also understand the Adobe tools may be overkill for what I am trying to accomplish, but NOBODY has anything good to say about Roxio or Nero video editing products in the $100 range, and everyone raves about Adobe. As a student the combo was $118 so it seemed like an opportunity to learn something new. I'm a former I.T. person who tried to use Photoshop about 10 years ago, but I just didn't "get it". I was not able to think like an artist or someone who grew up on Photoshop so I finally just abandoned it and used Irfanview for all my simpleton photo edits for the last 10 years. I am now reminded of why I gave up on the products way back when, but I am hoping I am older, wiser, and more patient -and that someone here will help me.
Will a human please help me out?
Thank you VERY much!!Serenity now!!
Thank you again. I get that you can put as many text layers as you want, but what I couldn't get is how to take that layer from one image and put it on a second image.
I finally got it to do what I wanted by right clicking the text layer in the layer pallet and left clicking "duplicate layer" then it asks me for a destination and allows me to select the 2nd image!! It would be so much easier if I could drag the layer to a different image or even right click the layer, left click "copy, then right click a new image and left click "paste".
Thank you so much for all your help. I never did figure out how to do it the "Microsoft" way (saving a text style and applying it to new text), but it looks like it will work so I can move forward. These DVD's take hours to watch so I thought I could save time by taking pictures of the important parts, but I've spent hours so far trying to get to that point! It's a long semester so hopefully it will pay off!
It amazes me that this is so tedious. I have to:
Export an image from Premiere as a .BMP
Open the .BMP in Photoshop
Save the .BMP as a .PSD
Duplicate a layer (that includes my text style) from a different .PSD to the new .PSD
Change the characters in the text to what I want it to say in this image
In my simpleton view I should be able to:
Export an image from Premiere as a .PSD
Click the "Text" tool and click the document
Type the characters I want
Click "My Custom Text Format" button that formats the text to a style I previously saved
Or even:
Export an image from Premiere as a .PSD
Right click a text layer from a different .PSD and left click copy
Righ click in my new .PSD and left click "paste"
Change the characters in the text to what I want it to say in this image
I've got a long way to go!! Layers. Hmm. I wouldn't have thought, but I suppose it makes sense.
Thanks again,

Adding & Copying Formulas Please help
Hi
I am trying to put a formula in a cell and then use that same formula in a different cell without having to retype in the formula using the different cell block numbers and letters. Example
I have this formula
=D4+E4-F4
and I want to copy it down to the other cells without retyping it
=D6+E6-F6
=D8+E8-F8
and so on...
Please help I know it can be done.
ThanksSelect the cell, copy, select the destination(s), paste. That is one of several ways to copy cells/formulas. Another way is to select the cell and drag down on the circle in the lower right of the selection box. However, it looks like you are only copying your formula to even numbered rows so that second method won't work for you.

GwatWell, I don't know because I've never used the Swing timer, and I'm not sure what game you're trying to write. You say "Simon Says" but it sounds more like that old electronic game Simon, or maybe both or maybe neither.
But let's assume that it's like the old electronic game Simon. The point of the game is to press the same buttons that the game lighted up, in the same order. Let's assume the delay you want is the time between button presses or the last light lighting.
The way I'd do it is:
First, create a gameplay object that has as state a sequence to follow, and 4 buttons, and a "last time" number, representing the number of milliseconds since epoch.
When the game is started...
The last time value is set to infinity, or a time far in the future anyway.
Then a TimerTask is created, and scheduled to every tenth of a second. It gets the current time, then if the current time minus the "last time" is over some threshhold value, it ends the game.
LOOP: a sequence is created, one longer than the previous sequence. It's a sequence of buttons.
The sequence is played.
The "last time" value is set to the current time.
Each button press triggers a method. The method first checks to make certain that it represents the next number in the sequence. (One way to do this by the way is to represent the sequence with a queue, and remove the first item from the queue, and compare with the button. If they don't match, the game ends; and when the queue is empty, it's time to loop back up to the LOOP label above.) After it checks the next number in the sequence, it sets "last time" to the current time.
End loop.
That's it.
So in this scenario, the timer task doesn't get scheduled for the length of the timeout. Instead it gets scheduled for a fraction of the timeout length, and when it's called it checks to see if the timeout has passed. You'd create this when you start the game.
Hope this helps. -

Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck! -

After a Windows Easy Transfer from a Windows XP pc to a new Windows-7 pc, all the iTunes artwork that I had previously manually added is now missing. I estimate 25-30% of my CDs needed manual intervention to add artwork. Some of these were album covers I found on the web but many are photos that I took and cropped but have not retained. I have nearly 20,000 songs. Every one had artwork on my XP machine. Now on Windows-7 it appears to be missing. I spent many patient hours to get artwork in place for all my music and don't want to loose it or have to repeat the process. Please help! Many thanks for any contributions.

I need help!!! Did my iOS 6 update today, thought it was fine!! Then my friend text me and instead of saying Siobhain it says voicemail text message!! I've tried deleting her and adding her again, turning phone off etc etc!! Please help!!
I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password. If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes. Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past. If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software. I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:
http://deciphertools.com/products.html
If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:
http://mikereys.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/iphone-backup-restoring-visual-voice-ma il/
I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
Best of luck. -
How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV? It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore. Please help.
When new content is added to a playlist it has to be updated for it to be available across devices. If it's content that isn't matched the playlist is removed from the cloud. Did you make sure to access store - update iTunes Match? It should do it automatically after a few minutes but the odd time I have to force it.
Other than that may want to try reboot, log out/in. -
My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial. I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added". Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs? Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???
'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.

All my plat list have vanished, and all of my library has been duplicated and triplicated and some have 4 copies. i looked to try and delete the copied ones and tried to delete by putting on when they had been added. the date came up 11th march 2013 for ALL of the songs!. my library is at least 4 years old, and i constantly add songs. so why would it come up that date? and why have all my play list dissapeared?(I think also on that date) please help?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.
Reverting to an earlier version of your library may clean up the duplicates issue along with restoring the original date added values. If you still have real duplicates I have a tool that might be able to help...
