Can a HNA be used anywhere you'd use a regular array?

I'm going to use some very large numeric arrays for lookup tables and such. Can I substitute such an array with an ASCII85 encoded homogeneous number array? The arrays will only be used with the get operator, and will contain either 16 bit or 32 bit integers, or floating point numbers.

This question is probably past it's use-by date by now, but: keep in mind that an HNA is just an alternative way of *encoding* an array in the PostScript stream. The PostScript scanner converts an HNA to a regular PostScript array internally; there's no savings in VM usage. (Just in case you were thinking this would be a more efficient way o storing an array.)
If you're looking to reduce VM use, you might be able to store your arrays as packedarrays; these take up about 70% as much VM as a regular array (and you can still express them in the PostScript stream as HNAs).

Can Time Capsule be used as regular external HD?

When I purchased Time Capsule, I specifically asked about using it as an external HD and partitioning it for backups for other networked computers (ethernet connections) as well as for Time Machine with my WiFi connected laptop. I was told yes at the Mac reseller, but have been unable to do so through Disk Utility, where I've done this with conventional external drives. I did look at Airport Utility, but was unsure whether to proceed, so I'm asking here.
By now I'm wondering, can it be done, and if so, how? By the way, the principal other computer I'd like to backup is a G5 Power Mac, just to be clear. It's connected by ethernet cable, and of course, the router function works just fine. But it doesn't "see" the exrternal drive, either.
Thanks,
jeff

TC cannot be partitioned.. the reseller is clueless..
The TC cannot and will not ever be an external drive.. it is now and forevermore a network drive.
Disk Utility cannot see a network drive .. it has to be handled by the OS of the TC.. which is what you see via the airport utility... and of course that has almost no controls whatsoever.
The TC is designed for Time Machine.. and TM from different computers works fine.. they each produce a sparsebundle which is a virtual disk.. so almost but not quite a partition.
So as long as you use Time Machine you are fine.
A G5 power mac on 10.5 OS should be fine.. That was the first version of Time Machine.
The issue of it actually being able to connect to the drive is something else. You might need to help it by manually mounting the disk..
And I have to admit my association with Mac is since Snow Leopard.. so if this works .. you will need to apply your knowledge of earlier OS.
In finder, use Go, connect to server.
Type AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress.
The TC name is substituted with the actual network name.. you will find that much easier if you stick with names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric .. not names that Apple uses by default.. like Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule.. which is illegal in so many ways. Reduce that down to .. FBTC
Then you can type AFP://FBTC
And it should be able to then find the network resources and ask for a password.. it is public by default. If you changed it then type in that instead of public. Save the password in your keychain.

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

You should be given the certificate, or cookie, by the website. See if in Preferences (under Safari on the menu bar), Privacy, do you have certificates blocked Always?

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

Dear Apple,
I have an iPhone 4 32GB (black), i bought from softbank, japan. Now, I have recently finished a graduate and i'll comeback home in Laos. But i can't continue to use my iphone.
Could you please help me to unlock my phone so I can use it with other carrier Sims. I would appreciate it.
Please let me know if you could help me out. Thanks again.
<Edited by Host>

Like ckuan said, Apple does not unlock iPhone; your carrier does, provided that the carrier offers this service.
Unfortunately, SoftBank does not offer authorized unlocking of iPhone.
Your best option is to sell this phone and buy another iPhone from the carrier of your choice or better buy a factory unlocked iPhone so you would be able to use it with any compatible GSM carrier around the world.

Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

Here is one solution:
// mouse up action for submit button;
function GetField(cName) {
// get field object for cName field with error checking;
var oField = this.getField(cName);
if(oField == null) app.alert("Error accessing field named " + cName + "\nPleae verigy field name, spelling and capitalizeation.", 1, 0);
return oField;
} // end GetField function;
var oPhone = GetField("phone");
oPhone.required = oPhone.value == oPhone.defaultValue;
var oEmail = GetField("email");
oEmail.required = oEmail.value == oEmail.defaultValue;
if(oPhone.required && oEmail.required) {
app.alert("Missing required fields.", 1, 0);
} else {
app.alert("Submitting form", 3, 0);
// additional code for submission;

I'm trying to use Dictation. Where does the text go, and how can I retrieve it? Thank you.

I'm trying to use Dictation. Where does the text go, and how can I retrieve it? Thank you.

You dictate after you open a blank page in any text editor. The text goes on the page.
You can use Text Edit for example (in your applications folder).
With the blank page open, go to the Edit menu and select Start Dictation. When you are finished, you save the file as you would any other document. You can retrieve it, edit it or anything else you want, because it is a file like any other you create with that text editor.

You can turn off Cell Data in the Settings. Your iPad should then not be able to connect to your cell service until you turn that setting back on.

I used to have iPhone 4 and now I have an iPhone 5S iCloud restored everything but whatsapp and now I can install it as it says it's already installed but I can't find the icon anywhere and I have searched the phone but uselessly !!? Please help I need it

I can't uninstall whatsapp as I can't find the icon anywhere

Did you try:
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
If so then could be a hardware problem sinc it also says:
If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?
