Cannot get mac to reboot with menu for archive save
My iphoto is not working correctly since installing Leopard. Mac genius recommended that I take it home, hit the C key while rebooting...then go into a menu to do an archive save. My computer will not do this...any reason why?
Hi Tryin2luvMac.
Welcome to the world of Mac!! Your name will change to iluvMac sooner or later!!
By hitting the C key while rebooting means boot from CD or DVD. Did you inserted the CD or DVD?

Cannot get MAC to connect with SMART TV
I have Verizon router-modem - Samsung smart tv - keep doing tech walk thrus with Verizon and Samsung - they went internal and even pulled my router info - bought tv while re-cuping after surgery - I am wondering if it is router/modem Verizon sent me - (this was a replacement they said they sent me was in 2006 - which they didn't - I bought Linksys -) I feel it is one small thing - has anyone else had any problems with their iMAC and SmartTV - - and I thought it was going to be easy?? -Really appreciate any info -
I set up my Samsung Smart TV recently, and it was straightforward, thankfully. You say you're trying to connect the TV to the iMac - it might just be the terminology, but you should be connecting to the wifi network (I assume you are connecting via wifi, not ethernet) broadcast from the router.
I can retrace my steps as to what I did if it helps. I think the process on the various Samsung's is fairly similar across the various models. -

I am sorry if my inquiry here seem dumb but I am a new iMovie user and cannot figure this out. I inserted a png image into my video clip in the project as PIP, I can see it and move it and can also see it playing with the main clip if I move the play head manually, I can also see the PIP part only playing along with the undelying main clip if I use the Play button in the preview window when the PIP section is selected, however, for the life of me I cannot get it to play with the main clip all together for previewing the entire video via the video play button. What happens is that the video plays normally and when the PIP section comes in, the video clip stop all motion during the duration of the PIP section and the PIP image itself is simply NOT showing. Am I missing something really stupid here? It seems as it the Picture On Picture is a separate clip that plays with the underlying main video clip if selected and played by itself but it is not part of the video clip and will not play with it. What am I missing here, can anyone please help?
ShonyThe easiest way to get up and running is to convert your MP3s to MP4s (obviously there won't be a video track). The following link links to a file that was an MP3 that I converted to an MP4 using QT Player Pro. When you go to export the files, make sure you click on "Options" and then check the box for "Enable Streaming" in the Streaming tab. It should stream flawlessly using QT Player. rtsp://rhsstreamit.rih.org/testmp4/Scorpion.mp4
Make sure you place the media to be streamed in the proper folder. You should only get a "404" message if the physical file doesn't exist.
Good luck! -

Open your Displays system preferences. Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens? If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens. Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not. Maybe there's something wrong with the connection. Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket. The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor. Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well. -

I cannot get the introductory page with 'free hotmail' on it
I cannot get to the 'free hotmail' menu page when I log in, so you will not be able to contact me by E-mail. I get the first page which is a replacement for google which occupies the whole screen., It may say welcome to firefox on it. So I have to restart and try again. I cannot use the go back or delete because it does not show.
My home 'phone number is [Ed. removed phone #]Did you mean that you want to get to the Hotmail site? The "Free Hotmail" menu page you're talking about is probably just a one time occurrence on your Firefox browser.
You can just go to mail.live.com to log in to you Hotmail e-mail account. -

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

I've just bought an ipod touch but I cannot get beyond the question asking me for a network name. I don't have a mobile telephone which I think this question is referring to. All I want from an ipod is to listen to music. What should I do?
You have to activate a new iPod by either setting it up via wifi network that has an internet connection on to connect to a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection.
You can go to an Apple store or or to a friend's house if necessary -
After updating iPod Touch to iOs 5.0, I cannot get into Game Center with previous nickname. The screen says my nickname is already in use by another account. Why did this happen and how can I fix this so I can still use the same nickname?
Did you haveany problem with updating to iOS 5? It soundsl like the update did not correctly restore from the backup that iTunes mnakes as the fisr step of the update.

I changed my Apple ID and password last week. Today I cannot get into my computer with the new password..help!
Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password. -
