Can I bridge an android smartphone with my blackberry tablet rather than a blackberry device?

My employer is requiring me to move from a blackberry Storm to a different smartphone. I have a choice between an android and an iPhone, and would,do prefer the android Can it be paired to the playbook like the Storm currently is, and if so, how?

You can't bridge it like your Storm, but many Androids let you turn them into wifi hotspots so you can at least access the net from your PB. You may want to check your data plan though. Most handsets can also function as a modem via bluetooth. Finally, for a stopgap alternative to Bridge Files, there are Android apps that are mini webservers so you can get access to the files on your handset from your PB's browser. For that to work you'd need a wifi hotspot.
In short, while you can find Android solutions to do most of the Bridge functions, none are as seamless or integrated as Bridge.

Can i use my android phone with app store gift card

can i use my android phone with app store gift card

Not with a gift card for the iTunes Store, anyway. Apps from the iTunes Store are for Apple's devices only. If you have a gift card for Google's app store, that would be a different matter.

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

How can i move songs to my playlists using my iphone rather than computer?

How can I move songs to my playlist using my iphone rather than my computer?

@allamb & stephanW
I found this thread via a search, I have a new iphone 5 (also i am completely new to iphone, having been the last few years on android) and i have spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to add a song to a playlist.
You see i sit a work and listen to dozens of tunes, and i want to add a paticular song to a particular play list, and low and behold I can't, excuse my special characters but "What the f#%k itunes/apple??? - how can this be? Such a commonly needed function and for itunes to be the number music player in the world not to have this feature is ludicrus.
I am lucky that i only have about 500 songs on my iphone thus far, i feel sorry for stephanW with 4000+ !!
Apple - please fix - this is schoolboy programming stuff...

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

I am trying to update my time machine backup on time capsule, but time machine keeps trying to create an entirely new backup (evidenced by the 200GB backup size). How can I get time machine to modify my old backup rather than create a new one?

It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

How can I get Elements 11 to open up in Organizer rather than Editor?

How can I get Elements 11 to open up in Organizer rather than in Editor?

Well, you can go to Window>Welcome and make your change there, but the welcome screen leaves a process always running, so you would do better to go into the Program Files or Program Files (x86) in windows or the applications folder on a mac and find the actual .exe/application for the organizer and make a desktop shortcut/dock icon and use that in the future to launch the organizer, avoiding the welcome screen entirely.

Are you doing it thru the Settings panel or are you downloading independently thru the App Store?

Can you upgrade an non smartphone line to the iPhone 5, than move it to an unlimited data line?

Here's what I'm trying to do:
We have three iPhone 4's and two basic phones (5 lines total). I want to upgrade the basic phones to the iPhone 5 with a 2gb option, then when they come, move those phones to the lines that currently have unlimited data, then move the basic phone back to the other lines, and then cancel the 2gb option.
Would that work?
I've been told it would, but then a csr told me it wouldn't. That the data option travels with the phone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Here's my scenario and what I was told.
If anyone is on an older family plan like I am, here's the solution that came straight from Verizon customer service. You can call them to verify.
I'm currentyly on the 1400 minute family plan. Have 2 smartphones (with Grandfathered unlimited data) and 2 basic phones on the plan. We wanted to upgrade and of course like everyone did not want to lose unlimited data. So I called Verizon 3 or 4 times and threatened to leave when finally I got to the right person.
First, you have to be eligible for upgrade. Transfer or use the upgrade for one of the basic phones on the basic phone line. You'll have to go through the whole process of selecting data for that phone etc... Select the minimum for everything. If you order online your total should come to $349 for the 32gb i5 after taxes and fees. Once you receive the iPhone, you'll activate it on the basic phone line. Then turn straight around and reactivate the basic phone on that same line. The plan will go back to a basic plan for that phone and will leave the i5 open to use on any other line on your plan. Then just transfer your phone line to that phone and you're all set. No change in that lines plan, just a change in phone, thus your unlimited data remains.
Double bonus for me, I'm on a promotional $9.99 per month for unlimited data on my line. It doesn't end until Feb. 2013 so I don't loose that either!
Only question I have now after reading other posts and forums is do I actually activate the phone to the basic phone line or once I receive the phone do I activate it on my smartphone line? Seems to be conflicting opinions on this!!
***UPDATE: 9/20/12 9:54am EST
Just had a chat with Verizon online. Below is what I was told:
info: Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales
representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your
patience.
info: You are now chatting with 'Faith'
Faith: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat
service. May I help you with your order today?
Chris: Hi I recently received advice from customer
service about a method to use to keep my unlimited data for the smartphone
lines. After reading some of the forums i'm seeing conflicting info. I'd like
to verify with you what I was told
Faith: The only way to keep that unlimited data
will be to buy the phone at full retail price
Chris: I was told by 2 different reps that i could
update one of the basic phone lines on our plan to the iPhone 5
Chris: then when i get the phone activate it on the
basic line
Chris: then, reactivate the basic phone on that line
and it would open up the i5 to use on any other line
Faith: Yes you can do that as well if that line
has an upgrade you can put it on the line that has the unlimited data and
keep that
Chris: the conflicting comments i see is do I activate
the i5 on the basic line once i receive it and then switch it over to the
unlimited data line?
Chris: Or when i get the phone can i just activate it
on the unlimited data line?
Faith: You will activate the phone on the line with
the unlimited data when you get the phone however you will need to call into
customer service to do so
Chris: and in doing that i will NOT lose my unlimited
data? Because i'm not changing that lines plan. Just the phone. Is that
correct?
Chris: Still there?
Faith: Yes I am here and no you will not lose the
data that is why you need to call in once the phone comes and let customer
service activate it for you
Chris: Gotcha. Thank you so much for the help. Last
question. Once i activate the phone on my unlimited data line, do i have to
do anything on the basic line or will nothing change for it since the i5 was
not activated on that line?
Faith: That line should remain the same since it
will not be activated on that line. Are you ready to begin and I will help
you?
Chris: I haven't received the i5 yet. Status says it's
scheduled to ship Oct. 5th. I've already ordered based on the other reps
telling me about this process to keep the unlimited data. I just wanted to
make sure this was acurate prior to activating the phone when i receive it.
Faith: Do you have any further questions today?
Chris: No you have been very helpful. Thank you for
all the help!!
Faith: It has been my pleasure to chat with you
today! Please feel free to re-open the chat session if you need further
assistance . Thank you and have a great day!
Faith: Sorry

How can I make audio come out of the phone speaker rather than the standard speaker in android?

just like the title says. is this possible? Has anyone sussessfully done this?

With AIR 2.7, there is no way to switch between device speaker and phone earpiece on Android and iOS. All sounds, by default, play through device speaker only.
The link mentioned by Colin just presents a way to enable phone receiver on iOS. However thats a bug and will be rectified in future releases. So I will not encourage you to use that.

HT4759 Can I share my iTunes library with my Samsung Tablet ?

How do I share my iTunes library with my Samsung Tablet?

If you mean your iTunes Match library, no. It only works with iOS devices and computers running iTunes. If you mean you want to transfer music from your iTunes library on your computer to your Samsung Tablet, you would have to consult the Samsung manual to find out how to import music. (It won't sync with iTuens.)
