Better dictionary? for easily switching from A - ...

Having just returned from holiday, it was infuriating to look up a word i.e.
unlock - apps - dictionary - options - languages - source - english - options - languages - target - french
and then type the word in!
then the same all over when you want to go from french to english, hardly a good UI
can't it remember language pairs...?
not only that but it didn't even seem to have half the words I was looking for
is there a better product than the standard dictionary?

Exchange email:
yes, it is certainly compatible, but like another said, your admins have to be nice guys, depending on what version of Exchange you're running.
also, Steve has said they have corporate deals in the works for support for "companies you've heard of", and Microsoft released a patch last Tuesday that had enhancements specifically for iPhone, so I'd be surprised if something isn't in the works for better Exchange support.

Advice for someone switching from PC

I've been an avid PC person for like 15 years, even used to work as a PC tech and consultant.
I am SERIOUSLY considering switching to Mac -- and I adore the 15" PB, it is exactly what I need...
Frankly I despise Windoze XP and cant deal with it, or mismatched hardware etc, any longer!
and... OSX is simply astonishing. I cant wait to run it.
...but I have a few questions before I drop the $$$ and make this major life switchover!!
1.) Expensive software
2.) The serious issue of the lower memory slot/logic board burning out on the 15" PB's (should I go 12" or 17", which I dont want to?) Perhaps the newest revision will solve this.
3.) Needing to drop a bunch of money for Apple Care -- I've never had to do this with the 7 PC's I've owned. (granted most laptops dont make it to 3 years) But over $100 a year for an extended warranty is kind of insane, but by reading these forums, it seems the PB's are prone to many issues and looks as if AC is needed.
I am in a quandry here? Thoughts? I really really want to make this switch to Mac, but this is more than just a computer switch, it is a life switch for me!
Thanks!

I was in the same position you are in now. I am the VP of IT for my large company and have been a windows girl from the start. I'd dabbled in Unix/Linux but with the job it just didn't afford me the time.
I am now the proud owner of a new G4 Powerbook. I have the upgraded Ram for 1gig and 100G Hard drive. I was able to integrate it seamlessly to my network at work and my home office. Other posters were correct about Version tracker. I have Office standard addition and it retails US for $399.95 at the apple store.
Here is a link that I did as a comparison to PC base Office also. You will see that they cost the same.

As for the Apple Care, all it will take is once of your computer whether it be a laptop or a desktop for you to be willing to turn out the extra money. I myself have not had any problems with the logic board but my PB is still fairly new being only 3 months old.
Since I have owned my Powerbook I find it very hard to open a Pc.
Hope this helped.

Hi. Can use events to look out for input switches from any DAQ board?

I tried using events to detect signals from input switches Advantech PCL-8181L, but it seems no response.
I have read an article about the events that user controls can trigger and some external IO cannot.
Is there any one know how I can get the program to monitior them all the time without using event function?

Astroboy,
I am not sure that I have a complete understanding of your question. Are you attempting to use LabVIEW Events (Functions >> Application Control >> Events) with your Advantech DAQ board? This will not be possible. Could you expand upon the functionality you are trying to achieve?

Palm TX keyboard is not easily selecting from numbers to letters

I have the HanDBase 4 application for my palm and my Palm TX will not easily switch from numbers to letters. When I push on the areas to switch, it instead clicks on the symbol directly above it and I have to do this 4-5 times before it will switch over. I have completed the "touchscreen alignment" under "preferences" several times and still there is no change. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Post relates to: Palm TX

The digitizer on the touchscreen may be going bad. Another issue that can happen to cause the calibration to be off, is dirt or debris between the case and the screen.
You can try this process to see if there is any debris that is stuck under the screen edge.
Take a business card or folded piece of paper. Stick it in the gap between the edge of the screen and the case. Move around the perimeter of the screen and see if you can get out any debris.
If that doesn't work, the digitizer on the device is probably defective and needs replaced.
You can contact Palm for repair or find replacement parts at pdaparts.com or usedpdaparts.com.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

Unless your carrier doesn't have the required SIM card size, you can get a new SIM card from your carrier. There is usually no charge for this.
If you don't have an Apple iCloud account or if you do being accessed on the iPhone with contacts turned off for over the air syncing, you should be able to transfer contacts from the Address Book app on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
If you have an iCloud account, you can sync contacts over the air with the Address Book on your Mac. After confirming your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - checked by logging in with your iCloud account using a browser on your Mac, you can then turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone and your contacts will then be available there and kept synced automatically over the air between your iPhone address book, your iCloud online address book, and the Address Book on your Mac without having to sync with iTunes for this.

Hi, I have a Powermac with Mavericks and a recently purchased iPhone 5S. I just switched from Verizon with unlimited downloads to limited of 500mb per month, so I purchased a Powerlink Outdoor Plus which is supposed to increase the network range for over 1 mile. I am still getting the same distance range with my iPhone with the Verizon router. I was wondering if I need to make adjustments in the Network Settings. Does anyone know about this particular subject?
Thanks,
Kevin

Okay, I'll admit I don't know much about your configuration. A standard cellular package for a cellphone means you get your signal from a tower somewhere. It won't have anything to do with a router which will be a WiFi connection from a router. If you're talking about that, the Powerlink appears to be a directional antenna. You should get better transmission/reception in the direction it is pointed, but likely worse in other directions than if you were using an omnidirectional antenna. I presume you have it all hooked up correctly so the router is actually using the Powerlink antenna.
By the way, those distance ratings are always exaggerated. Maybe you'd get 1 mile if there was only dry air between you and the antenna and no trees, buildings, etc., and that would probably be just barely getting a signal. You should see improvement but don't go to a coffeeshop 1 mile away in a city and expect to see your router. We have a directional antenna on the roof of our house that looks like a satellite dish and I barely pick up the wireless service node a block away (with apartment buildings in between). Thre may also be a difference between using it to send a signal and receiving a signal. You might even need two, one at each end, to get 1 mile.

Auto switch from tray 1 for envelopes to tray 2 for letters on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium

Hi I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium e-All-in-One Printer - A910n My Operating System is XP Media Center. I haven't been able to get it to switch from one tray to the other automatically. Also it only remembers 1 type of paper at a time. I can't get it to show in Properties, Paper available, more than one type of paper. I open device settings, Form To Tray Assignment, Printer Auto Select :Letter. Tray 1 : Letter Tray 2 : Letter. Now I change Tray 1 : to Envelope #10 click apply, click ok, it closes out. I open the Properties back up & Tray 1 : is back to letter. Is there a way to get the printer to remember the it is set up with 2 Trays with 2 different types of paper ? I think the problem lies with the Printer Auto Select : But I am not sure. I would like to be able to print an address on an envelope when working in works. Without having to manually change the Tray settings. Does any one Know How to set this up ? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this issue.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi MrHope,
Make sure that the printer is set to have tray 2 as the default tray, and then try setting the paper types for each tray in the printer settings.

My iphone 4 is stalling a lot. I've had it for a year now, I have the most current OS, it's not too full of apps, or anything like that. Many times throughout the day, I cannot switch from app to app, unless I do a complete power-off. Any ideas?

I've had it for a year now.
I have the most current OS. I snyc it to my itunes 2-3 times a week. It is only about 25% full. It stalls (I don't know if I would call it freezing) between trying to switch from app to app. I either have to let it sit there for a few minutes, or turn it all the way off and turn it back on.
And yes, I know to press the home button twice to get the bottom part activated. That's not working. I'm not sure if this is a common thing, or what with iphone 4's.
Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

This problem is often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to boot in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the Finder from crashing.

In theory, yes. If you configure the two base station into either an extended or roaming network configuration, you should be able to walk a laptop between routers and the laptop should attempt to connect/reconnect to the base station providing the stronger signal ... but, in reality, this is not always 100% true.

If you use the organizer, you need to buy the boxed version of PSE 12. You can usually find it at big box stores and online retailers for less than adobe's upgrade price, if you shop around. You need the boxed version because you get a serial number that works on both platforms, and you will need to install PSE 12 in windows first, upgrade your catalog, then make a full backup to a removable drive and restore from that to the mac, after installing PSE 12 there.
If you don't use organizer, it doesn't matter.
