Anyone else find it stupid you can't cancel an order 5 hours later?!
I ordered a computer yesterday only to find out my boyfriend ordered me one. So, i called customer service to cancel it and they wouldn't since it had already been processed. Bunch of Bull****. Unless my custom computer was already built,packed and shipped in those 5 hours there is no reason HP can not cancel the order i made. It seems like a waste of time/resources to put the computer together just so I can send it back to them to get a refund back to my credit card. if anyone knows any tips to get around this please let me know.

Anyone else find the more you use your iPad professionally the more of a pain it becomes?
I love my iPad2 and my iPhone 4 but lately i've found more uses for my iPad from a professional point of view and have tried to take advantage of this by using it for work. I'm self employed and i use my ipad and iphone to take photos, formulate quotes/estimates and email them to the clients, display my portfolio and PDF's of brochures......etc. The thing that winds me up is needing an app to do everything. It all just seems very messy now. It didn't bother me when all i was doing was browsing the Web and sending emails but now i'm actually using it properly to do proper things the whole way in which it functions is awfully messy and a bit of a ball ache.
For example;
I take a photo with my iphone of a property that requires scaffolding.....i want to transfer it to my ipad so i can edit the photo with some annotations, lines and arrows and then send it via email to the scaffolding company i use.
This is a majorly long drawn out process. Take photo with iphone.........enable app on iphone and ipad for file transfer, select transfer via bluetooth, photo sends at a painfully slow rate, find photo in ipad, open in editing app, edit photo, save photo, open photo in email program........etc. It just takes ages.
Why are functions such as transferring files and photos between iphone and ipad with the same OS not part of the basic functions of the OS.....why the **** would you want an app for that? I'd like to be able to pair my devices once and then be able to transfer anything i like by either pushing it from one device to the other or pulling it from one device to the other. Having to put one device in send mode and the other in receive mode seams a slow and backwards way around of doing things. File transfer was quicker between devices years ago.
The ipad is an amazing piece of tech and works really nice but moving files around and actually carrying out productiive work on it is majorly clunky and messy. Anyone else agree? Lets hope iOS5 sorts this out.Cheers for that. Unfortunately not available yet though. Looks like it might make things easier. From what i can gather though it will still require 3g or wi-fi connection to sync everything up. I'm assuming that if i take a photo at a clients house and then want to email it immediately to someone from my ipad it wont instantly be available on my ipad? I'd just like to be able to send photos' between my apple products without needing to do 20 screen taps:)
Looks like iOS5 might bring us a little closer to a fully functional tablet. -
After upgrade to 10.95 OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling. Anyone else find this bug in upgrade? If so, ideas on how to fix it?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?
You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
Cheapest and very good image editor?

Does anything show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ?

If you can't find what the charges are for, or you don't recognise them (and nobody has access to your account or devices and may have made them), then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -

Anyone else finding it impossible to get iCloud to work? My software is up to date, I'm looged in to my account but nothing synchs across my Mac Mini, Mac Air and iphone 4s. I've tried all the trouble shooting solutions without success. Any ideas out there?
Hi
My iCloud works perfectly across my MBA, iPhone 4, iPad Mini etc. I did find it easier when starting to set things up to start with one item to sync.
I started with Reminders and went through all the General settinsg as well as Reimnder specific settings. Then just parlayed that process into each app I wanted to sync.
Happy to help out if you want to get started.
Iphone
1. Settings
2. Icloud (ensure your apple id is correct)
3. Reminders = on
MBA (connected to the Net through wireless)
1. Settings
2. Icloud (ensure apple id id corect and the same as on your iphone)
3. Calendars and Reminders = On
Type a new reminder on your MBA...
- your iphone should be updated. My iphone updated in less than 1 sec after I keyed it into my MBA
Let me know if this works -
i have a 2008 imac with snow leopard. i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users. Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD. Anyone else with this problem? CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update? Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update! it just saves gray.
If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Or you can:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo). -

Correction YOU need. I am glad to see them gone. Forgotten all about them, so please don't speak for everyone.
So Lion is still Broken… and Mountain Lion does not seem the fix the issue either…
Lion is not broken, you are simply having a lot of trouble adjusting to it and trying to forget your old habits. Lion is fine. And Mountain Lion not applying the 'fix' you believe is required does not bode well for your future usage and thus reverting to Snow Leopard may be your only hope of regaining these outdated features.

When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???
Unless you deleted Address Book 6, or restored from a backup made before you upgraded to Lion, Address Book 6 should be on your disk somewhere. Try to find it with spotlight or by browsing likely folders with Finder. Also check Trash. If you find other Address Books, using Quick View or Get Info in Finder should show the version number.
Have you ever moved Address Book out of the Applications folder, either before or after you upgraded to Lion?
If you can't figure out how this happened in the first place, I would be worried that other OS X utilities are similarly affected.
