  • I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit.  I just want to view my photos from my SD card, not import them to the iPad.  Can this be done and how is it done?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit and want to be able to view my photos full screen and not import them.  Can this be done and how?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    When connecting the Camera Connection Kit to a camera or SD card all you see are the thumbnails of the photos. I suggest you review those, select the photos you might want to see full screen, then import them to your iPad. After viewing them you can always delete them if you no longer want them on your iPad.
    I also suggest Keeping the photos on your camera or SD card until you import the to your computer and back them up to at least one other location.

  • Can you please advise? Thank you and Merry Christmas.

    In Safari, I can get past an 'I agree' screen to access various contributor's websites linked to a blog.
    In FireFox, I click the 'I agree' button but FireFox loops me straight back to the same 'I agree' page. I want to use the DownloadHelper plugin to download video clip content and such a plugin does not exist for Safari.
    Thank you and I wish you a Merry Christmas.

    If you are using the Email App: tap and hold on the attachment icon and Select an App to Open it in.  Such as iBooks for PDFs.  The file will then be saved to that Apps file area and be available for offline viewing.
    If you are viewing in Safari tap on the twisted arrow icon and tap on Open In... option.  Then choose an App to open and save the file to.

  • I have a new ipad and I am trying to set it up thru my itunes account.  I opened itunes and connected the ipad but itunes does not seem to be recognizing the ipad.  Can someone please advise?  Thank you.

    I tried to register my ipad thru the Apple website but it won't let me register because I do not have the exact purchase date.  This was a gift and I do not know the exact date.  So frustrating because I am excited and anxious to use my new ipad!

    Try making up a date. something relatively recent. See if that allows you to go forward

  • How can I opt out on the default setting for a split window in Firefox 3.6.12 ?

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12, the page opens up with two vertically divided panes. Each pane displays a different bookmark. The left pane is generally only about an inch wide and can only be expanded to about 3 inches wide. In that mode, it is pretty much useless and only provides a distraction. How can I opt out on what appears to be the default setting for a split window with two vertical panes.
    At this point, I am discontinuing using Firefox in favor of Safari because of this change in the default window.

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

  • How can I opt out of Safari on Apple Update?!

    I personally hate Safari and don’t want it on my machine but I want to keep Apple update for ITunes and Quicktime. How can I opt out of Safari updates for good!?
    I don’t understand why Apple did this… its very annoying to keep getting this popping up on my computers!
    -Aaron

    +I should have said I know how to opt out of a single update+
    Okay, it sounds like you know about the "Tools > Ignore Selected Updates" trick in ASU.
    At this stage, perhaps the thing to do is to make an enhancement request (for the ability to permanently ignore types of update in ASU) direct to Apple using the product feedback forms:
    Product Feedback
    Since there's no form for ASU itself, probably the best form to use would be the iTunes product feedback form, given that ASU comes as part of the iTunes installer bundle.
    (Unfortunately, that's not likely to be a short term solution for you ... but it might produce some results in the medium-term, with any luck.)

    Try doing it on your computer with iTunes and then sync to your iPad to see if it clears the problem.

  • Whenever I turn my MacBook pro on, all the other stuff is loaded (MS word/excel/powerpoint), Spotify, iCal, etc are automatically loaded, so in order for me to go to my desired website, I have to close (x) out all applications loaded. Please advise.

    If you are using Lion:
    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

  • When I try to open iPhoto (9.2.1) it says 'You can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of OS X.  All my photos are on there.  Please help.  Thank you

    When I try to open iPhoto (9.2.1) it says 'You can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of OS X.  All my photos are on there.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Did you upgrade to a new MacOS X version? Then you need to update iPhoto as well.
    Only iPhoto 9.6 is compatible with MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite.  Update from the Mac App Store.
    Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Check the "Updates" tab of the App Store for an iPhoto update and run the update.
    When you laugh iPhoto after the update, it will warn you, that the library needs upgrading, That may take a while.
    Just in case that you see a warning, that the update is not possible because of an error message: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

    Hi!
    If it was working before and you are on the same BB, I suggest doing these steps:
    Full reboot:
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation.
    If that does not restore the delivery of your emails, then re-push your service books:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02830&slic...
    Lastly, since it's HotMail, it may be that you have not done the recently required re-validation:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB13137
    Hopefully one of those will work!
    Cheers!
