Automator: Made a service but it won't show up in the app.

followed this tutorial to make a "wrap text in quotes" automator service. I tried to find and use the service I made in a word processing application but no services show up, it simply says "no services apply." I followed every step to the T and I can even make a shortcut for the service in the settings window but still it will not work or show up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong and I'm VERY new to automator. Thanks everyone!

I created a service for Numbers, and it wouldn't show up on the services menu, even if i selected any cell. I did this and it worked :
1. Open Automator.
2. Right click on the Automator icon in the dock.
3. Your recent created service must appear in the list after right click, click on it.
4. A message should appear, click INSTALL.
5. Check service menu, it should then be in the menu.
Good luck.

I added a movie to my iPod, but it won't show up in the videos library! I have to search for it in the search bar!

So I downloaded a video in mp4 format and added it to iTunes. It shows up in the Home Videos tab and i can play it just fine, but, when i plug my iPod Touch into my pc and let it sync, it doesn't show! When i say this i mean it is ON my ipod, but to get to it i have to search for it in Videos. All that shows up in the library is a Family Guy episode i purchased from itunes a while back and at the top it says "Family Guy" as if it is it's own catagory. There is no back button or any buttons for that matter. Just the search bar and the episode. This is what i get when i launch Videos:
And to get the video i have to tap the search bar and search it and play it from there

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

I have ordered a book from Amazon.co.uk for my Kindle app for the iPad, but it is not showing up in the app. Help!?

All is explained in the question.

Is the Kindle app on your iPad linked to the same Amazon account that you used to buy the book, and does it not show in the Cloud section of the app for downloading ?

I paid for an in app purchase but it didn't show up on the app

on the app, high school story, it says if you want to buy rings, its $4.99 and i paid that and it even did all that it was supposed to, ask me twice about if i want to buy it and asked me security questions and once i clicked yes, it didn't show up on my app. it took my money and i want to know how to either get my money back or at least get the rings i paid for! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Are you sure it took your money? If you log into your account in iTunes on a computer does it show in your Purchase History?
If yes the contact iTunes:

Turn your router completely off (unplug it) for a few seconds, then turn it back on again and see if you can connect.

HT202152 I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help

I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
In Photos:
File ▹ Show Recently Deleted ▹ Delete All
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
For ODS:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
For GP:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Logic Pro x - additional content downloads and installs but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. Where is the add'l content downloaded and how do I activate on Logic Pro X?

The additional content downloads and installs, but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. I cannot find the "Library" folder where this additional content is downloaded to and can't seem to activate the new loops and instruments in my Logic Pro X (i.e. loops are still greyed out). Any solutions?

similar problem that I'm hoping revives this thread. Took over 24hrs to dload additional content (after another full day for the actual problem) due to a bad dload rate. so quitted, and relocated closer to my wifi router. Restart, open logic x, Menu bar: Logic Pro/ Download Additional content ...Tells me i have no internet connection.... Ahh... I do, I'm using it right now! Tried restarting and relaunching. same thing every time.
Any clues?
This whole apple upgrade has been so disappointing! All i wanted to do was reinstall logic 9! $2500 later and I'm still struggling. ***!

Hey, I'm having the exact same problem.
I just got my Macbook Pro and I tried to partition/install windows xp the first day I got it. After successfully partitioning my HD, the 50GB partition didn't show up while trying to install the windows platform.
To be a bit more specific, it doesn't even show up in my startup disk in the system preferences menu (if that's any help?)
So after about a week of abandoning my Macbook and going back to my PC I went to the Apple store and someone from the genius bar just told me to reformat the entire thing...so that's what I did and I'm still having the same problem.
Any advice Lyssa?

Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

I have cs5 photoshop, but it won't let me buy the complete special offer at 29.99. When I type in the serial, it says that I am not eligible, but I can't figure out why.

Hi there
Just to clarify - the complete special offer is available to customers with a registered CS3-CS6 individual product or Suite. However, education or volume licenses do not qualify.
It appears that your CS5 is an educational version. If you are no longer in education & don't qualify for the Student/Teacher plan, please contact our Sales team on 800-585-0774 who can assist further.
Thanks
