Changing background colour of W995 (when you don't have wallpaper)?

Hello,
If i set my phone to have no wallpaper the background colour for the main screen is grey. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone know how to change this to black? I think it was black to start with but somehow it got changed and I can't see a straightforward way of setting it back to black using the Display options because on my phone (W995) there is option here for colour change.
Many thanks for any help anyone can offer

What I really want to do is to set the background to black, then have a picture that i've taken in landscape as my wallpaper. Because it's in landscape some of the background is still seen at the top and bottom and i want this to be black rather than grey. I'm sure it was before, I just find it crazy that it has changed and there is no easy or obvious way to change it back - especially as the default setting must have been black. I tried doing a reset of setting but it still came up as grey, even though I had to reset the time and date and so on.
I wish they just had a menu so you could select a background colour, but it seems that doesn't exist. Sorry to be seeming so difficult, because I appreciate your suggestions - I should have explained before that it isn't so much that I want a black wallpaper as a black background to put an image on top of as wallpaper.

Another question. How do you bookmark something. It was so easy before, why did they change it? Can I uninstall it?

How can you listen to music when you don't have an Internet or cellular connection?

Is it possible to access your library and Match?

Yes, just not all of it.
As you play music from the cloud, it gets saved to your device so the next time you play it, you don't need to be connected to the internet. That's why there's a setting to "show all music" - if you turn that off, you'll just see the songs that you have with you already, and can play without internet access.
You can also choose to download songs, albums or entire playlists, and those will be available later when you don't have a connection.

Awesome Tip for editing a PDF when you don't have the fonts

Needed to do this yesterday and looked online and found out how to edit a PDF file in Illustrator when you don't have the fonts. This is a godsend and thought others might benefit from it if they don't know about it.
Problem: You get a PDF file from somebody and when you try to open it in Illustrator, the PDF is using fonts that you don't have so it substitutes the fonts and screws everything up.
Solution: Create a new Illustrator document the size of the PDF.
Place the PDF into the Illustrator document.
While the PDF is selected, go to Object menu / Flatten Transparency
In there, make sure"Convert All Test to Outlines" IS checked.
Click OK and there you go, everything is converted to outlines, including the fonts and you can do with it what you want.
Enjoy!

It's an excellent tip. This can also be done within Acrobat: Flatten transparency with Convert Type to Outlines toggled on, then Save As a new PDF, then Embed-Place the new PDF in Illustrator. It's a functionally identical process, although yours is superior because it requires fewer steps.
While Tom is right that you can't edit the text (because it isn't live), you certainly can, for example, include artwork from another party that would otherwise lose its typographic appearance.

Updating a database value when you don't have the current value

I need to write a query that updates the amount of points a
user has, even though i don't know how many they have currently.
This is part of a referal program. When a user gets another user to
join, the original user gets 15 more points. The problem is I do
not want to write a query that finds how many points the original
user has because that seems wasteful. It should look something
like..
<cfquery datasource="users" name="givepoints">
Update users
set points = [whatever the current value is + 15]
where userlogin = form.referer
</cfquery>
That line that has the value in the brackets is where i am
confused. I don't know the current value so how can i add 15 to
it?

In some databases, oracle for example, the use of
cfqueryparam speeds up your queries. It also has the potential to
simplify your code in that it handles things like apostrophes, so
you don't have to.
On the other hand, if you want to cache your query, you can't
use cfqueryparam. Also, if you are using some sort of logic to
build an sql variable to use in your query, it takes a lot of
effort (more than I'm prepared to give) to use cfqueryparam.
Also, not every db supports it.
cfqueryparam has it's place, but that place is not
everywhere.

Moving a library to a new computer when you don't have the old computer

Hi,
I want to set up my ipod library on a new computer but I don't have the old one. Is this possible?
I used my work computer to set up my ipod mini and have since changed jobs. I only have the ipod and want to associate my new work computer with the library that exists on the ipod mini.
I can't seem to find any information that deals with this situation. Any ideas/help?
thanks!

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

How to re-size pictures when you don't have .mac account

I don't have a .mac account so it is a pain to email pictures stored in iPhoto.
Some of my pictures are too big to be emailed and all i found so far to re-size the file is to go to File / Export and try out diff. window sizes until it works. Not great when you want to share 20 pic.
Any one knows of another way?
Thx

What email are you using?
The easiest way to send pictures is to use Apple's Mail.app that is part of the OS - it DOES NOT require a .Mac account.
If you are using a purely web-based email account, the File>Export method is the easiest.

Evernote button now disappeared using Firefox 5.0

well, there you have it – a classical if then loop.
seems i'm still stuck somewhere in the middle of the amavisd.conf nightmare. had amavisd-new 2.4.5 / spamassassin 3.1.8 up and running after a real nightmare (which had to do with daemonize=1).
after i tried to get up-to-date with amavisd-new 2.5.1 and spamassassin 3.2.1 i saw the same problems (see below) again, while launchd tried to get amavisd started.
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: exited with exit code: 2
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: respawning too quickly! throttling
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: 9 more failures without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: will restart in 10 seconds
remembering the previous troubles, i double checked all things, which could be set wrong (daemonize, etc.) and all was well. tried a second install and all to no success.
later i had the idea, it might be the new amavisd.conf, which troubles (why ever) the startup. so i used the v2.4.5 one and lo and behold, it worked. but why? what is so strange/new/different in 2.5.1, that the startup of amavisd gets broken?
now i read, that they changed a bunch of stuff and i certainly would be using the newer versions conf file, but it seems i don't get it right configured. i'm on the latest updated 10.4.9 server with all fixes installed. every service is working, mail gets in/out and gets even tagged.
well, i didn't do the setup with the 2 users junkmail/nojunkmail yet. is it really necessary to set them up as local users? can't they be handled as every other user which has mail enabled via wgm?
anyone can help me here? thx.

How do I remove an old apple ID off an iPad when you don't have the original user's log in information?

Hi, my company has recently started issuing techs iPhones and iPads. I have an iPad here we got back from an employee after termination. He gave me his 4 digit passcode to get into the iPad, I removed the passcode to unlock, and did a reset on the device. Turn it on, I get the "Hello" screen and the initial set up pages. I get to the page with "input your Apple ID" and when I tried to enter a new ID, it wouldn't accept it because the device had already been associated with a different Apple ID. The prompt it gave was to log in online with the original Apple ID and remove the device. Well... can't do that since the employee is long gone and that's not going to happen. So what do I do here? How do I remove it to set up a new Apple ID?

Without the ID/password, you won't be able to use it. Suggest you take it to an Apple store. They may have some advice.

Using the Calendar/datebook when you don't have a Data plan.

Hi All, I just got a BB Curve 9320 model to replace my dead LG. I use the phone for my convenience only but I fondly remember my old Palm Pilot and it's wonderful Calendar application that let me keep track of my life and where I was supposed to be and when. I had hoped that the Curve would be able to do the same thing with it's calendar function. I thought that using the BB desktop and plugging the Curve into my laptop to enable them to communicate that I would have the same function as the Palm Pilot did in my previous life. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get this to operate as I had envisioned...........am I doing something wrong or without the data plan is this just not possible?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
What is inaccurate is your expectation...what you expect is not a designed functionality...a few things to discuss...so bear with me...
Contrary to how others do things, RIM does not provide a desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a conduit software that functions as a bridge between your chosen PIM and the BB. See this KB for compatible PIM's:
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
So, to do what you desire requires the use of a desktop PIM to manage your data...choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then, get your data into the desktop PIM. Then, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:
KB03315 How to synchronize organizer data (calendar, task list, memo list, and contact list) using the BlackBerry Desktop Software
Good luck and let us know!

How to restore when you don't have a library

I use my work computer as my main/only computer. I do not have a library for my songs because I cannot leave the music on my computer because I may get in trouble at work. My iPod is the only place I have the music stored (I have a 30GB ipod w/video that's about 1/2 full). Recently, when I plug the ipod in I get an error message comes up that says, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Use the updater to restore iPod to factory settings"
I have done the 5 R's except for restore because I house all my music just in my ipod because of the whole work computer situation and I do not want to lose all my music.
When I go through "My Computer" to see my music (in "music") and to try to pull it off temporarily so i can restore the ipod, when I looked at the file it said I had O kb of music in there.
My iPod works fine on its own and all my music is there, it's just that music won't play on the computer and iTunes is not recognizing the iPod or the songs. So there's no way i know to fix it through iTunes.
Is there a way to temporarily take the music off the ipod and put it somehere without going through iTunes, restore it, and then put the music back when it's done?

Thanks Mikey,
I was looking for a program like yamipod to help me out, but when i tried yamipod it didn't let me open my ipod up and said that it had "bugs." I'll keep looking for a similar program

HT204406 what happens when you don't have WiFi all the time?

When using iTunes match and you are not in a WiFi zone, how do you hear your music?

From Apple's iTunes web page:
Will iTunes Match songs download over 3G on my iOS device?
Yes. Go to Settings > Store on your device. Turn on Use Cellular Data. If you’d rather download over Wi-Fi, turn it off.
Of course, that will count against your cellular data plan limits.

What happens when you don't have an old serial number (from 10 years ago)?

I bought PageMaker 6.5 in when I was teaching, and I have been retired over ten years. I upgraded to InDesign 3 in 2007. Two weeks ago my hard drive crashed. In installing InDesign 3 again, I'm asked for old PM6.5 serial number, which I can't find. I've used PageMaker since it was put out by Aldus in the 80s, and I have the first serial number from that set of floppies, from which I upgraded to all others, but I'm told no serial # from PM 6.5, I have to buy it all again!!!!! Is there any reason in this?

It looks like you have got an upgrade version of the new product. this means that you must have an old product that you used to obtain a discount on Adobe product. Therefore, the Installation process needs to verify this and the only way to do this is to have your old serial number. I wish I had your valid e-mail address to advise you further.
Good luck.

How to erase a Mac Pro for selling when you don't have the discs

I have a Mac Pro 1,1 that I'd like to sell, so I need to remove all information from the HD, BUT none of the disc I have seem to work to install from.
I have several Macs and so have a lot of discs.....but none of them will work when I restart holding down C, or Command + R.
I have gone to Disc Utility and can't select the HD to erase, because it seems to be greyed out.
I have on original discs:
10.0
10.4
10.4.7
10.5
10.5.6
10.6.3
all discs I either got with Mac's or purchased...!
What's the solution?
All I want is to be able to sell the machine with some working OS on it?
Thanks,
Alan,

Thanks Grant
The 10.6.3 disc would be the best. You will need a wired keyboard plugged directly into a USB port on the chassis, not on a display or any Hub.
I am using wired kb.
If you hold down Alt/Option key at Startup, that should invoke the Startup Manager, and slowly draw an icon for each potentially bootable Volume. Choose the one you want and tell it to proceed.
So, right after I hear the chime, I should hold down "option"? How long should this take? A few times the computer seemed to freeze when doing this, and I just held down the power button for 10 sec to start over (I had a grey screen for a few minutes)...other times, it seems to just bypass the whole option and just restart normally?
Answer only the "what language" question and do not install. Wait for the menuBar to be drawn, then choose Disk Utility off a menu.
Appreciate any other suggestions you may have, thanks,
Alan.
