I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

i've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?
is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

Am I the ONLY person who's angry that mobile hasn'...

Hello. Am I the ONLY person who's angry that my mobile hasn't lasted for several years? Am I the ONLY person who's had problems on and off throughout the last two years with his / her Nokia, AND had it replaced twice by Nokia Care, and now that it is out of warranty, require $292 to be repaired?
Bought the Nokia 6110 on a typical 2 year plan 2 years ago, and it just hasn't ever been faultless.
But even though it kept going 'funny', at least I could use some of the features, and Nokia Care have replaced the 'innards' of it from Nokia Asia somewhere, which took ages, And the 'loan fones' have been just aweful. And 'no', the loan fones were not able to hold Contact numbers from the 6110.
But when my Nokia 6110 started to just 'drop out' and say "Insert SIM Card", I knew I had a big problem. At first 'they' said it was because I didn't update the Nokia firmware upgrade properly. Then they said .................................................... Then they said I needed to get a new SIM card from my Telco because some times the SIM cards "go bad".
However yesterday Nokia Care finally dropped the 'big one' - my fone can be repaired for $292. That's almost THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Tell me, how much is a new Nokia.
Oh, and I am STILL waiting to hear from Nokia Care about when I can go back and pick up my 'dead' phone.
Did I tell you my 2 year contract ran out three months ago? Did I tell you I now can get another fone, with whichever Telco I chose, and I can pick any fone I want to go with another contact? So like you, I am doing HEAPS of 'reviewing' of fones on every website I can find, and I am asking people, and doing FaceBook, and Twitter, and ...................
And guess which brand I will not ever get again?? And guess which brand I am telling everyone about??
Oh, and I have written quite a few times before to Nokia - and I am still waiting for a reply............... That's what makes telling everyone how I feel SO much easier.
Nokia, you have lost your 'edge'. You care so much about 'selling', that you have forgotten its also about OWNING and SERVICING. Gosh, you do it bad. The products are hit-and-miss; your support is lousy; and your communication just sucks big time.
Have a nice day.

Hi Disappointed_Nk ,
Kindly take note that the boards here are for user-to-user support only.
If you want to provide any feedback directly to Nokia, you should use the 'Contact us' link at the top of the page to contact your local Nokia team.

I need to download my Verizon bill. For some reason my account says I'm a "Member" and not the "Manager" or "Owner" so I can't download the bill. I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS ACCOUNT. I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EVER BEEN ON THIS ACCOUNT. ONLY ME. JUST M

Prepaid accounts don't have Account Owners/Managers, they just have Account Members (and prepaid accounts have less options regarding changes via their My Verizon account as a result).

I LOST MY IPOD...CAN THE PERSON WHO FINDS IT UPLOAD ALL MY SONGS

I LOST MY IPOD...CAN THE PERSON WHO FINDS IT UPLOAD ALL MY SONGS INTO THERE COMPUTER?...I KNOW THERE'S SUCH THINGS AS IPOD RIP AND ALL THAT...BUT JUST INCASE THEY DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT...

On a somewhat different topic. When I named my iPod, I called it, "if found please call (xxx)xxx-xxxx. That way, you do increase the odds of finding should it fall into the hands of an honest person, and if not, the person who found it will always know that he/she could have gotten it back to it's owner every time they use it.

Am I the only one who finds iTunes 11 tedious in the extreme?

Am I the only one who finds iTunes 11 tedious in the extreme? iTunes used to be easy to use but not now. For instance is there a way to delete an entire album from iTunes without deleting each individual song? Small example of my frustration with iTunes as it stands.

Thanks Airsculpture.
As I suspected you cannot just delete an entire album. It is a laborious and time consuming procedure. I got used to most updates but this one is truly awful and not user friendly at all.
Thanks for taking the time to reply though. It is appreciated.

Am I the only person who thinks the iPhone 5 is difficult to set up?

Am I the only person who thinks the iPhone 5 is difficult to set up? At one entry I use just my Apple ID (not an email) and it goes through. At another entry it requires the entire email. ??

Probably not, but I suspect you didn't read the user guide, and will be one of the people who come later ranting to this forum about issues that are clearly covered in the said guide.

Am I the only one who finds the new improved Itunes a step backwards?

Am I the only one who finds the new improved Itunes a step backwards? Whatever happended to simplicity?

No not just you, its rubbish! Nothing is organised in a logical way. I have lost pretty much all of my album art that was ripped at the same time as the CD and now says it can't find album art for the majority of them.
What a useless piece of s***

HT201304 I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks

Hello I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks
Ps what difference does it makeo

It's your choice. If you are the only person that uses the iPad then it's probably not necessary, but, for example, if you think that you will never make in-app purchases then you could disable them via Restrictions so that you can't accidentally make them.
In terms of the difference that it makes, then you can use it to hide some of the built-in apps e.g. Safari, App Store (via 'Installing Apps') etc, prevent apps from being deleted, or hide some of your content.
But if you do set restrictions then remember the passcode that you use for it - if you forget the restrictions code then the only way (unless it wasn't in place when you last backed up) to remove it is reset the iPad back to factory defaults.

Am I the only person who hated AVATAR

Hi all
I actually fell asleep during Avatar (and that was BEFORE a visit to the pub).
Am I the only person who actually found this movie REALLY Boring
Cheers
jimbo

No you are not! I found it really boring too! I mean, I enjoyed the effects and oohed and aaahed at all the right scenes, but frankly, I would have rather stayed at home and watched Bullit or something.
And for those you will be putting the question up, yes, I saw it in 3D and everything.
Saw Sherlock Holmes the other day and found it a 100 times better than Avatar, though being a die hard fan of the books for such a long time, I found the idea of a hyperactive-snide-remark-spitting-funny-man Holmes a bit difficult to take in. I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying its hard to get used to at first to the idea of this new iteration of the screen Holmes.

Hi I think its not a good idea to have "airplane mode" in Control center because if you lost your iphone person who find it could active it easy and you never find it

Am I the only person who misses the drag and drop method of adding and deleting songs on iTunes devices?

I am constantly getting frustrated with the newer versions of iTunes because my different apple devices have different amounts of storage. I miss the days when I could drag and drop songs to various devices. I don't always want the same songs on all devices, so I don't like to sync because I sometimes lose something I want to keep on that device. I am just curious if I'm the only one who misses this feature or is there a way of doing this that I've just not found? Thanks.

In the Summary tab of iTunes - when the iDevice is connected to your Mac - select Manually Manage Music and Videos. You should be able to drag and drop.
If you don't see the sidebar and the device is syncing automatically, you can enable the sidebar from the ITunes Menu - View>Show Sidebar. The. You can click on your device name imder the devices heading, then click on the Summary Tab.
You can also disable auto syncing in iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing autonatically.
I never auto sync and never have. I select Sync Only Checked Songs And Videos in the Summary tab and I can still drag and drop songs. I can also select the albums, playlist, or artists that I want to sync by using this method.

Am I the only person who is struggling to use the CSS panel in DW CC?!

I'm new to Dreamweaver CC this week (CS5 previously and CS2 before that ... total of 7 years use) ... was looking forward to the upgrades (and I can see there are lots which is great), but I'm finding the new CSS panel totally frustrating! It's so much more time consuming an in my opinion in no way user friendly ... especially for those of us who spend every day using them. I've now reverted back to hand coding my style sheet which means I'm having to switch between screens all the time (still works out to be less time consuming that trying to work with the new CSS panel though!).
I'm all for change, but this seems to be one big change which wasn't needed and certainly isn't benefical (to me anyway!). I can see that is probably more likely to help those who are starting out as it has the diagrams to show you what the styling is doing, but for me thats just taking up realestate.
I was also looking forward to taking advantage of the dual screen option (especially as I'm now hand coding the style sheet), but it seems its only the panels you can move across to the second screen and not the HTML or CSS pages ... Arrgghhhh!!!
I'll give it another week and then I'm done I think ... which is a shame because there is lots I like about it, but at the moment, this new baby just isn't working for me!

I'm really hoping so because the website I'm building at the moment is taking twice as long as normal - previously I could click on the element I wanted to style, then click on the '+' button at the bottom of the CSS properties block and the styling box would pop up - now its lots of scrolling and then knowing whether to press enter, or tab or just click away to add the styling ... driving me absolutely nuts!

Are any scanners working with Mavericks? Am I the only person who believes that scanning has become an essential service of any current OS?

It's been a while now since Mavericks was released in the wild. The same afternoon I upgraded I attempted to do something which has become more routine than printing - scanning. But when I went to find my scanning software, there was nothing there. A reinstall of the latest drivers for my all-in-one printer/scanner did not fix the problem - still no scanner. A search of the manufacturer's web site for drivers to work with Mavericks found nothing.
At first I assumed it was just my "not os ordinary" printer/scanner but my wife's very ordinary printer/scanner was the same - neither manufacturer had a driver for Mavericks. Further a little web searching lead me to believe that there are not many, if any scanner manufacturers who do support Mavericks - is that possible?
Can Apple has decided that scanning is not an essential service for an OS? It might have been nice to ask first or at least warn us - some of us depend upon our Apple systems for a livelyhood. Has anyone heard any good news about when scanner drivers will be available for Mavericks?

Can Apple has decided that scanning is not an essential service for an OS?
Try using the OS X pre installed Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Launch Image Capture.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Imort To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.
