Anyone - that "About this MAC" only gives the OS X Version Number and not the Name?

Is anyone else - that "About this MAC" only gives the OS X Version Number and doesn't also give out the Name?
*** version is Mountain Lion? Snow Leopard? Yosemite?? And how hard would it be to use the name AND version number when they refer to a product?
So What Do I have with 10.8.5 ?
PS [as I use this site for the first, I am glad to see for the first time ANYWHERE that the drop down box lists the OS X by name and number. APPLE, PLEASE DO THAT EVERYWHERE!

A google search would have yielded the answer
10.8 is Mountain Lion.

Just bought a new imac and tried to download all my music from my iPod but it only allow me to download purchased items and not the rest of stuff stored on a previous pc itunes folder. How do I get round this ?

The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
See "External Drive" in this article-> iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

How do i get my contacts back? they are backed up by i cloud but when I "MERGE" only the new ones are there and not the old ones

Hi sfuentes,
You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

I have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes. I turned on and off. I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you access the mail on another device?

The original u201CBP_CONFIRMu201D is running and not the redefine one.

Hi,
In Component CRMCMP_BPIDENT,
I have enhanced the custom controller CRMCMP_BPIDENT/CuCoBuPa
and redefined the method u201CBP_CONFIRMu201D with my logic.
But when I run the IC web client the original u201CBP_CONFIRMu201D is running and not the redefine one.
Why ?
Thanks in advance.

Amit,
We have not yet transported our Enhancement Set through the landscape, but I suspect you will need to maintain the assignment (BSPWDV_EHSET_ASG) in each system for the reason you give.
Your created Enhancement Set (BSPWDV_EHSET_DEF) will still transport through, then you will need to go into table maintenance for BSPWDV_EHSET_ASG once the set has been transported into your QAS system, and then assign it to your QAS clients.
Many thanks,
Andrew Griffin.

How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

Who is the email account provider?
With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

I'm confused, do you want the serial no for a Mac ('About this Mac') or about your iPhone? If the former, the answer is on the page you came from:

X2-02 v11.57 Issue: The number and not the name!

Hello Nokia,
I have a problem with my Nokia X2-02 (firmware v11.57): When receiving a call only number of the caller is displayed and not his name!! I made a hard reset, but the issue remains. This issue did not exist in firmware v10.90.
Any help please.
Thanks
(sorry for my english)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the exact issue on the same phone and same firmware. Nokia suite tells that no upgrade to the firmware is available.
It wouldnt be a problem to add the country code to all my numbers, but my second SIM (SIM2) doesnt add the code to the number when someone calls me, so the phone only resolves the name of my SIM1 contacts, not SIM2 (when recieving calls).
And if I type a number without that code and try to make a call, the name wont be resolved as well.
This problem really is pain
Here I found another person with this problem http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=77700.0

How can I make sure my IPad is using the wirless internet inmy house and not the 3G?

How can I make sure my IPad 2 is using the wireless internet in my house and not the 3G? I don't want to be charge for data usage by my carrier.

Turn off the Celular Data option in your ipad setting. You will see the name of your 3g service provider gone from top left corner.

On my iMac, iMessage is only displaying the text of the person responding to me and not the text I am sending them. I do not have this issue with my iPad or iPhone, how do I fix this? It did work fine last week.

I have read through some of the message boards and still can't seem to find this issue anywhere. Please help.

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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
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 boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 boot 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, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Adding caller with name and number from call list to the contact list only inserts the number and not the name

I recently bought a BlackBerry Z10 and moved my cell service to Rogers to take advantage of the name display service offered by Rogers (Fido also offers this service).
Due to the number of calls that I receive from first time clients, I wanted the name display service to help me know who was calling. Evidently it is impossible to add clients to my contact list before they call me so I'm constantly seeing numbers that have no name to help me decide if I want to answer the call.
When I try to add a caller from my call list to my contact list, only the number gets inserted in the new contact. The name needs to be entered manually.
I understand and realize that not all call display formats are the same and that it's virtually impossible to parse the first and last names from the name portion of the caller id.
However, I would like to see BlackBerry add the functionality to insert the name portion of the call entry from the caller list to a "Nickname" entry in the contact list just like it adds the number to a "Home", "Mobile", or "Work" entry in the contact list.
If a user doesn't have a name display service, there would be no change to how their contacts are added because there is no name variable to copy over.
Can someone from BlackBerry please let me know if this feature can be added to BB10 and when it can be added? For me it's an obvious feature that should just work.
I am really enjoying my Z10 but I'm feeling let down that something so logical and helpful is not supported out of the box.
Regards,
Marc

Hey ViciousFerret,
It appears that you are not aware of the fact that both Rogers and Fido offer name AND number display service (although the name display feature is an add-on service) and have been offering it for many years (since 2006). Here is a link to the name display service description of each provider...
http://www.fido.ca/web/content/manageyourcalls/calldisplay&lang=en
http://www.rogers.com/business/on/en/smallbusiness/products/wireless/addons/valuepacks/
As you can see from the link below, Rogers and Fido have been offering this service since 2006.
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20060914005951/en/Teams-HP-Rogers-Wireless-Fido-Succeed-North
My BlackBerry Z10 shows both the name and number when someone calls (and the caller is not in my contact list).
All I would like is for the Z10 (and Q10) to support the addition of the name and number from the caller list to my contact list without me having to type the name. As I mentioned in my original post, to avoid the OS having to parse the first name and last name from the name portion of the caller list entry the name could simply be added to the contact list as a "Nickname". If your provider only has number display, nothing would have to be copied from the name variable in the caller list to the contact list.
I find it difficult to believe that BlackBerry would not be aware of this name display service since it's been around since 2006 with both Rogers and Fido.
I hope I have clarified the reasons why I would like to have this feature added to BB10 and how it's surprising that this simple feature is not already a part of the BB10 OS.
Either way, I don't think this is a difficult feature for the BlackBerry team to add. They're just copying a 2nd variable from the caller list to the contact list.
I'm surprised that Rogers hasn't asked BlackBerry to add this feature to their phones. I think it would be a popular feature for those who receive a high number of calls from first time callers.
How can I get this feature request to BlackBerry for their consideration?
Cheers,
Marc

When firefox opens on my 22 inch moniter, it only shows up in the middle of my moniter and not the entire moniter. How can I make firefox fill my screen?

It shows a white background on all the moniter, but the actual images are shown in the center of the moniter with 5 inches of white screen on both sides of the image. It is also to small of print.

Obviously, I have told the computer to open a folder at startup
Mac OS has had the behavior that if you have a window open at shutdown, it will automatically have that window open at startup - for your convencience. If you do not want that, there is no need to have a folder open at startup and you can easily avoid that. As mende1 said, make sure you quit (that is Command + Q or File > Quit) all applications before shutdown. And, close all open Finder windows by pressing the little red button in the upper left corner. Also check your System Preferences > General > Close all windows when quitting an application.

Macbook pro shuts off as soon as charger is disconnected. Will only charge with older square tip charger and not the newer "L" magsafe charger it originally came with.

I have a 2011 macbook pro. I recently spilled some water on top of the macbook while it was off and charging (closed). Some water got to the charging port so I immediately disconnected the charger. Right away I brought it to ibreakufix and they looked through and told me there were no issues. I plugged it back into the charger to see if it would turn on and the "L" shaped magsafe charger it came with would not light up or charge the MB and it would not turn on. At the store, the person showed that it turned on using the older square tip charger. I went to apple thinking the charger was bad but that was not the case, tried a new charger (L) and still did not work. I came home and plugged in my older macbook charger (square tip) and it worked fine as it did at the shop but as soon as I unplug the charger, the MB shuts off. I took off the bottom and switched the battery with my other macbook thinking the battery might have shorted out but it still shut off. Battery display indicates that it is charging and in fact charged up to 100% but as soon as charger is disconnected it shuts off. Oddly when I plug in the newer "L" charger and disconnect the battery from the macbook, the charger lights up and powers on the MB. Any thoughts?

Hello Arhim22,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
In this situation, because of the liquid spill, it may be necessary to have your MacBook Pro evaluated for service. For more information on this process, please refer to the attached web link.

TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

Hello!
I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
I could really use some help solving this.
I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
Help a brother out, will you???

Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
- Turn off computer.
- Plug Shuffle into usb.
- Then you must reset your shuffle
To reset iPod shuffle:
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
- Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
- Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
Stop it and select "apple ipod".

Anyone - that "About this MAC" only gives the OS X Version Number and not the Name?
