Can't figure out how to "talk text". Any ideas?

I can't figure out how to "talk text". I thought it might be in settings under "voice over", so I turned that on. Nope. Now I can't turn voice over off and it's annoying listening to her tell me what I wrote or what she thinks I might want to say. Any help in either subject appreciated.

Turn VoiceOver of in Accessibility. Settings>General>Accessibility>Voice Over>Off. If you have Siri activated, invoke Siri and say, "Turn off VoiceOver".
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "talk text" If you mean "Tap to talk", that feature will only appear in iMessages, not SMS messages.

I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail. However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook. Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

Pages doesn't let you separately set border offsets, Indesign is the only application I know that can do that.
You can get the effect with margin insets inside a Text box or offsets inside a Border.
Inside both the Textbox and Border move the margins of the Text inside to have the Text where you want it relative to the border/stroke.
When looking for a solution there is usually more than one way to look at the problem itself.

Can't figure out how to center text in text box

I've made a text box over a line.
How can I center the text in the text box?
Please advise.
Thanks

I just talked to tech support and this is what they said to do. For example.
Make a new form and then drop a "text field" into it.
Goto the toolbar at the top and click on window then
paragraph. The paragraph/font box will come up and you'll be
able to see the different ways you can move text around.
Thanks

Can't figure out how to give text messages their own tone

I'd like to be able to know the difference between a text message and other alerts, like new email or Tweetdeck updates. So basically I know if I should check my phone immediately or if it can wait. But so far, it seems that all alerts have to have the same tone. Has anybody been able to fix that. This is on a Droid 2 GLOBAL.

You can go into the text messaging app, gmail app, etc and open the settings for the app (Menu button > Settings) to find options for setting the ringtones for each app.

Showing 2 cloud inboxes in email on my iPad. All emails received are duplicated in each inbox. iPhone and Mac are working perfectly. Otherwise iCloud is working perfectly. Can't find a way to delete one of the cloud email mailboxes. Any suggestions?

Same problem here. I notice one uses the iCloud logo while the other uses the MobileMe icon. Only one shows up in the "settings" menu. The two appear when I access the email app.

HT3529 How do I send a group text, I have set up groups in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually

How do I send a group text message, I have groups set up in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually ?

You can use iCloud:
Step 1. Log into www.icloud.com using your Apple ID.
Step 2. Click on Contacts and then click the groups ribbon (the red icon with two people) which is on the left-hand page when viewing All Contacts.
Step 3. The left page changes to a list of Groups (only those groups stored in iCloud are shown). Click the + button at the bottom to add a new group.
Step 4. Type a name for the new group and press Enter to save it. To change it after this, double-click its entry in the groups list.
Step 5. To add contacts to the new group, click on the All Contacts group and locate the first person to be added (you can use the search bar to find them quickly).
Step 6. Drag their name on top of the new group and drop it to add it to that group.
Step 7. To add more contacts, repeat steps 5 and 6, but you can add multiple contacts at once by pressing Ctrl (on a PC) or Command (on a Mac) and clicking on each contact in the list that you wish to select. Then, drag one of the highlighted names to the new group and they will all be added.
It's possible to add names to more than one group, and you can create as many groups as you like.
Step 8. Launch the Contacts app on your device (iPhone, iPod touch or iPad) and you should see the new group appear almost immediately - as long as you have an internet connection.
Until Apple builds in a function to create groups directly within the Contacts app, this is the best way to do it.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)

whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

Can't figure out how to make "sub-tabs" / Too many "top-tabs" / Other ?

First of all, the website that I am webmaster for is: www.cindydennis.org .
I am having some problems:
1) There are TOO MANY tabs at the top. I can't figure out how to make sub-headings on one page...
For example, I'd like on the "About CDM" page, tabs that can be clicked on to go to other information tabs, but that don't end up appearing on the top (e.g.: having "Remarks" and "What We Believe" tabs go there, but not appear at the top).
Another example, if you look at the home screen, I'd like to have the link to the "Privacy Policy" and Terms of Service" pages on the bottom, but not have them appear as tabs in the top, too.
How do I do this, please? I've searched, and can't figure out/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
2) How do I add "Copyright 2011" automatically? I saw in the Rapidweaver trial version, it automatically adds it when you publish... is there a way to tell this program to do this? Or do I need to type that in on each page? (I don't want to purchase RW... I'm not ready for that yet.)
Thank you in advance
Cindee

Cindee ~ One way to do the copyright notice is to use a Text Clipping — Select (highlight) the copyright text you want to use and drag it to the Desktop. If necessary, change the name of the Clipping icon so that it's more easily identifiable on the Desktop. Then, when you need it in iWeb, simply drag the Clipping icon from the Desktop to iWeb's main canvas.
By the way, rather than posting your URL here like this:
www.cindydennis.org
...include the prefix to make it conveniently clickable:
http://www.cindydennis.org

Can't figure out how to manuever in wiebsites pages

Can't figure out how to change the bottom margins

This is my 3rd day with a mac and I can't figure out how to change the margins in Pages '09 so that it doesn't include a .5 margin on the bottom.
I'm using a HP OfficeJet J6450. In the page setup, I changed the "untitled" user defined margins to .1 for top and sides and 0 for the bottom and it still includes a .5 margin on the bottom. Changing the untitled seems to help side margins.
I've used the inspector to see if there is a setting there that defines the bottom margin as .5 and that doesn't seem to do it.
If I print borderless, the text boxes that I have a .3 border around don't print on the edges even though they show up on my workspace. It also throws off the top and bottom.
This is a big assumption, but I assumed that if the workspace and rules show white space and now grayed out, it would print that way. It's not.
Any ideas? Thanks! Ana
P.S. I've downloaded & installed updates for everything - OS, iWorks, Printer

Peggy,
Maybe this is true of Macs? On my windows systems - I can specify more options on both my printers and can print beyond .5 inches at the bottom. One specific option on my J6450 that I can select is "minimize borders" and it will print about .1 or .2 from the edge. On my mac, I do not have that feature to select. If I print borderless, even though my layout shows it should not go off the paper, once printed it does.
Thanks.

Trying to get into the app store and it asks for my password. The problem is that it is showing an Apple ID I don't use ghosted in. I can't figure out how to use my correct ID.

Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

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.
