Can someone tell me if there is any way to add a fully editable layer mask in pse 8?

Hi I am a web designer and ahve been working hard recently in adding new web graphic skills to my arsenal. Now, the problem I have been expiriencing with elements 8 is that while trying to reproduce a mirrored text effect, following a tutorial online I found myself not being able to add a layer mask on top of one of the text layers, to then apply a gradient. In the end I did it with Fireworks but is there any way around it in Photoshop Elements 8.
Thanks in advance
Carlo

Sure. You can grab the mask from an adjustment layer, or there are a number of add-on downloads. A popular one is here:

Can someone tell me if there is a way to sync address book, calendar and mail ONLY, no music from Itunes to Iphone 4s from my Imac G5, OS 10.5.8? I bought a 16 GB and have too much music and no icloud on my machine (or my ipod 5th gen)

I was told I CANNOT only sync part of my music from my Imac Itunes, and since I have an ipod and itunes with the music, I don't really need it on my iphone, but if I sync all the rest, is it going to sync the music too! It is too much data if it does!! And did Icloud take the place of "mobile me". If so can that be used to get some music if I want to from my hard drive mac or ipod?

You were told wrong. You can sync only what you want to sync.
Yes, iCloud is taking place of Mobile Me over time. MM will be turned off in June of next year.
With iCloud, you can store the music in the cloud and download the tracks that you want to listen to without having to sync to your iTunes.

In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.
Just an FYI John, NeoOffice is no longer free, (but it is cheap at least)

I have an iPod touch(5th gen.) and i was wondering if there is any way to add a phone number instead of my email address

Only if you have an iPhone using same Apple ID for Messages
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

Can someone tell me why there isn't any RSS Feed for Apple Hot News?

I am not getting any news via RSS for Apple Hot News. Does anyone know why?

The data lives on the iCloud server. A cached version is kept on your Mac to speed up viewing and to allow you to access the data when offline.
I can't answer exactly why you can't sync Google with the iCloud calendar, even with the cached data, not being a programmer: but I'm afraid you can't.

Hello, Can anyone tell me if there is any mail to get in touch with Apple support? ... I do not remember my password for my IDApple and when I enter iforgot.apple to recover I do not get the email

Hello, I'm trying to get my Apple ID password but when I enter the page that helps you to recover it tells me to send an email and I do not get ... with what I can not reset my password ... Can anyone help me? ... Are there any email from Apple support where you can tell what I get to help me to recover?. Thanks!

Apple does not have email support. If you're not getting the email verification from Apple, check your anti-spam filters, on your computer and with your email provider, to make sure that emails from Apple aren't being blocked. You can also try the Security Questions option rather than the email authentication. See:

Otherwise, you'll need to call Apple support:

Can someone tell me if there's a problem with my recursive file search?

I've been trying to get a recursive file search working. I wanted to go through each directory and add every file to a database so I can use extremely fast, advanced file searches through my program. I wrote up this code
<CODE>
package myrecursive;
import java.io.*;
public class MyRecursive {
public static void main(String[] args) {
recursiveSearch("D:/");
private static void recursiveSearch(String x) {
String tempFile="";
File dir = new File(x);
File[] curDir = dir.listFiles();
for (int a=0;a<curDir.length;a++) {
if (curDir[a].isDirectory()==false) System.out.println(curDir[a]);
else {
tempFile=curDir[a].toString();
recursiveSearch(tempFile);
</CODE>
The code was simple but I didn't think I could write it like this without killing my resources or getting a buffer overload. I ran it and it worked. However, I am running a high end box with 512MB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz processor so I don't know if what worked for me will work on a lower end machine. I was told you should avoid calling a method from itself is this true? How would I avoid it? Should I keep it this way? Any recommendations?
NOTE: I ran the code through JBuilder. JBuilder has a console built into the IDE and will return a noise and the error code whenever it hits an error. Although my app kept shooting out files it found out I heard a noise a few times. Does this mean anything?

First the formatting tags should be "[ ]" not "< >".
I was told you should avoid calling a method from itself is this true?Recursion is a valid programming technique and in fact makes many algorithms much easier to code.
so I don't know if what worked for me will work on a lower end machineIt may be a little slower but it will still work. Recursion only causes a problem with resources when you have many levels of recursion. On my system I have:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
In this case there is only 4 levels of recursion. This is not going to cause a problem. You would generally only have problems if your recusion routine is not working correctly and you get in an infinite loop which will lead to resource problems and an abend.
In your particular case you aren't even using many resources at all since all you are doing is printing the file name.
This [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=435487&start=3&range=1]post shows a recursive routine that list all files for a directory and displays them in a table. In this cause you might have a problem with resources depending on the number of files in the directory. But the resource problem is because of the memory to hold the filenames in the table, not because a recursive routine was used to get the filename.

Can someone tell me if there is an easy way to search thousands of documents easily?

My name is David. I suffered a brain injury a few years ago and I need help organizing documents related to the lawsuit. I would like to have a standard form, that I attach to each document. It would have some of the following fields:
Date of the document
Author of the document
Case Number
Drop down menu that list types of documents, such as legal research, motions, pleadings, emails, letters etc
The file name
A description that is longer than the file name, this way I can type in the important issues of the document
I would like to be able to search all of the document in the portfolio
Then I would like to see a listing of all of the files with dates and descriptions
Is this possible? Would I have to pay for this customization?
Would the form be the same on each document?
I am sorry for having to ask such a long question. I just cannot learn things like I used to.

I think you mean directory not portfolio. A portfolio is a type of PDF.
With Acrobat Professional it is possible to get the "creator name", the date created, the date last modified, and the file name into a PDF report using the Action wizard or batch processing. One can also get the subject (if completed).
There are also additional fields contained within the metadata for a document like subject, keywords, It is also possible to add your own metadata tags and values . Once this data is filled in, one could add a new page to each document and have JavaScript automatically add the values. One would also need to adjust the form so the modified date picked up does not change once completed.

Please can someone tell me if there is an equivalent to ctrl, alt, delete for the imac?

Can anyone tell me if there is a way that I can set a web page up to load a new image each time a visitor refreshes the page?

I pray I can find a way to do this without losing my mind/writing and troubleshooting javascript. I would like to have three images per main department page on the web site link below, but I don't want them to show all at once. I would like a new, single image to show up each time a visitor visits or refreshes the page. Does anyone have a clue if i can do this in Dreamweaver and how? Please help if you can.

Well it does detect the camera, under USB in the System Profiler it says "FaceTime-HD-camera (built-in)". But the image distortion.
Since you can't see the image, here's a description: it shows horizontal lines all over the place in the image, and the lines are quite tall and they contain part of the image but moved horizontally to the left or right, and in a different color as well. So for example you could see part of my face but there is a horizontal bar where my eyes are located in, and it is moved to the left so that my eyes are at the left of my face. I hope that made some sense...
Will try to get to an Apple store next week.

From what i understand i see that - Cookies are not transferred between your website and your webapp when installing the icon on the home screen (for authentication purposes for example). It was working until 6.1 and now it’s not working anymore.
Can someone please tell me if this bug will be fixed in any future release, if so the ticket number of some kind that i can track, or if there is a workaround for this issue?

Do you have a wi-fi network in your home ? If you do then you should be able to connect your phone to it via Settings > Wi-Fi on your phone - that should show any networks that are available, and tapping on the network that you want to use (and typing in its password if it's password protected) should connect the phone to it. If you don't have a wi-fi network then yes, you will need wifi router in your home, which is connected to the internet (e.g. via your phone line) to be able to back up your phone to iCloud.

When laptop booths there is a folder with a question mark. Can someone tell me whats wrong?

When laptop booths there is a folder with a question mark. Can someone tell me whats wrong?

The Mac cannot find the hard drive or a valid boot folder.
You can try to reboot with Command and R and hold down until you see recovery partition. Launch that and then in the menu bar at the top look for Disk Utilities. Run that and see what it says when you scan your hard drive,
Any errors there are bad. If it can't even read the drive that is worse.
I suspect with the ? issue you will be reformatting and reinstalling OS X after getting a new hard drive.
