Can't Figure Out How to do This
There's something I've been doing on my Treo 650 that I can't seem to figure out any way to do on my new iPhone 3G. Sorry for the somewhat "long story" here, but
My wife is Chinese, so as we live our lives together, I have been keeping a continuously running "memo" on my Treo, into which I have periodically typed English words and phrases that would be valuable to learn Chinese equivalents for. So, whenever such a word comes up in life, I pop out that memo on my Treo, add a word to it, and put it away.
Of course I have kept that, and everything else, sync'ed up with my Mac, so I can see those new words and phrases there too.
To actually learn these new words and phrases, once every few months, I copy those new words into a spreadsheet, figure up translations for them, and study the result as new Chinese-language lessons.
So, on the iPhone, it appears that I can do almost all of this using "Notes." But there are two things I can't figure out how to do:
1. Back up (i.e., sync) that memo to my Mac routinely. Yes, I do see that I can Email it to myself periodically, but that's not quite the same as having a document on the iPhone "automatically" backed up on the Mac.
2. I don't see any way to bring what I already have on my Treo into a "Note" on the iPhone. If I could copy and paste, I could Email that text to myself and then copy&paste it from that Email into the Note, but there's no copy&paste on the iPhone. I do see that there are "Notes" in the Email application, but those are not editable on the iPhone. They are visible on the iPhone, but can't be edited there. Even if they were editable, they still clutter up my inbox, but perhaps I could devise a "smart mailbox" to address that.
In the first regard, Emailing is marginally acceptable, but I don't have any idea what to do about the second.
Thanks for any ideas you might have!
I'm another one of the very grumpy customers regarding the problems synching Outlook calendars with the new 2.0 iPhone.
I have another twist: I did not ever have multiple calendars in Outlook until the 2.0 update; I had just one. After I updated the iPhone software to 2.0 I have multiple calendars which I did not create. My iPhone has all the events listed, color coded by these various calendars, but when I look at my calendar(s) in Outlook, I can not see all the events at once. So my iPhone is the most complete, and my computer version is fragmented. This is an unacceptable royal pain. I'm relieved to know it's not just me, my iPhone, my Outlook, etc., but I'm definitely one of the many of us who are grumpy with Apple and impatient for their fix.
My question is: how do I sync my Outlook to my iPhone and delete all these calendars without deleting events? I just want one calendar again: mine, all mine.
PS I do have recurring events, but way too many to hand change them all; that's ridiculous. Even if I didn't have many of those it's ridiculous that the recurrences should create these problems. It's a pretty basic electronic calendar function.

My new nano keeps going into sleep mode every copy of minutes while music is playing. I can't figure out how to stop this. The user guide isn't too helpful. Any ideas?
This is usually a sign that your iPod's headphones are not plugged in all the way. Make sure that you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when inserting the headphones letting you know that they have been fully seated.

After 10.8.4 Update, I receive a series of capital A's in a box in some of the email signatures I receive. I can not figure out how to correct this.
Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions. -
I keep getting a message on my phone that i need to update my email password. I can not figure out how to do this.
Hi there!
Not knowing anything more than what you've posted (e.g., email provider, text of the request, etc.), we can only surmise that this must be the password revalidation that HotMail and other providers send out on a periodic basis. Here is the KB that discusses what to do:

Hopefully that will help you.

My IPhones total life time calls is at 4,924,000,00 and I can't figure out if this is a glitch because I know that I have DEFIANTLY not called for that long I don't know if this will be resolved but someone PLEASE HELP
Glad it helped!
For what it's worth, I suspect you'd have to restore the phone as new to resolve the issue. If it were mine, I'd probably elect to live with the weirdness rather than go through the fuss of a restore.
Best of luck. -
I type notes between therapy sessions and frequently do this in my car without wifi available. I need a way to access PDF files that I can type in and save and be able to AirPrint from when I am connected to wifi at a later time, I currently have these documents saved in Dropbox and open them on my ipad or iPhone in Adobe Reader but don't have a way to save and use offline. I tried iBooks but it doesn't allow me to edit. I need specifics on how to do this please. I bought an ipad to make my mobile work easier but am still using my iPhone for everything because I can't figure how to easily access and edit PDF documents offline. Thanks in advance.
search the app store for PDF Writer. I've found a lot that will convert documents to PDF, but none yet that will write within the PDF. One thing you want to avoid are cloud based apps. Any of them that talk about editing on the cloud, etc, aren't going to be as standalone as you want.
It's possible, if you can take your template PDF, turn it into a word document that you can edit, you can then convert that to PDF...kinda a workaround way to do what you want. And apps that convert to PDF are much easier to find -
please help i found some info but it's too high tech for me to understand example go taskmaster>processes tab exit firefox.exe. can't even figure out where this is! if firefox is going to control upgrades then there should be a less frustrating way to achieve this!!! please advise my next step is uninstall firefox & use another internet program.
Firefox must not be open when the Flash installer is run. Use the following information and instructions.....
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
#'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''<u>but use IE to go to the above website</u>'''.

How do I rent a move using moneyin my iTunes account. I had to enter the iTunes gift ard code to open the account several months ago, but never purchased anything with it. When I entered this code to rent a movie, the response was that it was redeemed. What am I doing wrong?
If you've already redeemed the card onto your account then its amount should be on your account - a card can only be redeemed once.
To rent a film, find the film in the store and (if the film studio has made it available as a rental in your country) click on its Rent button. If you are beig prompted to review your account and enter credit card details then see if this post from mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without entering card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054 . If that doesn't work then you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.
As long as you account's balance covers the rental cost then only that should be charged. How purchases are billed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance. -
Can't figure out how to make this script work
Hey Folks,
Anyone here who would like to look at the following script and tell me where I made the error(s)?
I want to put this script in a Batch so that I can run it on a directory of files all with filenames like
Q-CAT 2010-01 Covers_v7bP01x.pdf and

delete global.counter;Hy Folks,
This thread can be closed, as I fixed the script! It turned out that I needed to put the function definition above the body-code for the script to find it. After that it was small details.
I created a conversion variable (UnitsConv) for the margins so you can simply enter the desired dimensions in mm, instead of px, which I thought was easier.
This script now perfectly processes the files you put to it in a batch-operation (if correctly named with P01 and P02 in the filename.) and saves the resulting pages into the specified temp-directory. This time the filenames reflect the original filenames, for easy identification later, with the new pagenumbers appended to them.
For your information (and perhaps for use as the base for a custom script for yourself) I give you the final working version below.
This script will be trimmed down and become part of a larger script, or scriptset, which I will be using to automate the workflow of creating al different versions of lowres and highres catalogs that we need.
Kind regards,
Willy Croezen
