Coupla questions from a newby

Ive had my iphone for only one week, so still have my 'L' plates. Have a couple of questions:
1. Is the only way to correct a wrong entry of phone number in the 'new message' screen for text message by back spacing (using the 'x' button in bottom right) or can I 'wander' over the number to change specific numbers?
2. If I want to purchase Applications, do I have to open an account in iTunes? If so, some applications are only 99c, is there a min purchase when using an iTunes account?
Many thanks in advance.

The applications that come with the phone can't be deleted. You can move them to another page so you don't have to see them. Just press and hold the icon until they start to "wiggle". Then slide them to the side until they go off the page onto another page. Their can be a total of 9 pages. While the icons are wriggling, any that you have added (apps from the app store or web clips) will have a white circled X at the top left. Tap the X to delete these. Press the home button when you are finished arranging.

Dumb question from a newby

I just upgraded to the iphone 5. I want to delete all my info from my old iphone 4 - but keep getting a message which tells me there is an RSS error and verification failed. It won't let me turn off anything or inactivate anything.... What am I doing wrong?
Thx

HT201272 I have recently picked up an Apple TV. When I go to the movies tab, there are less movies available there than there are in my i-Tunes account. I've done some looking around at questions from others, but haven't found an answer that works for me.

I have recently picked up an Apple TV. When I go to the movies tab, there less movies available there than what is available in my i-Tunes library. I have 38 movies showing in my library but only 23 are showing in the Movies tab on the Apple TV. After researching this a little, there are only 23 movies showing under Purchased in the Quicklinks of my i-Tunes account. The majority of my collection are digital copy downloads that came from DVD purchases. Some of the missing movies were added in the past couple of months, the rest are a year-or-so old. I have done some looking around at questions from others, but I have not found an answer that will fix my situation. How do I update my library to get ALL of my movies to reflect that they were "Purchased"(as it says they were in their Properties)?

The pros and cons of to CC or not to CC have been done to death
Its a fact the CC model will work for some, especially newbies and small businesses.
The risks associated with the CC model have been well documented.
For long term users of CS perpetuals its generally a large hike up in cost compared to the upgrade system.
Then there are the....... Adobe can rot it hell...... group who will never subscribe
To each their own, you do the math to suit your cashflow whatever that is and then make an informed decision
To those on the CC model, I'd like to offer some practical advice.........do not allow automatic updates.........make regular backups............develop an exit strategy of alternatives for when you can no longer afford the subscription costs............never ever assume that the Adobe update is bug free
Enjoy your cloud

Thank you for that post, and the advice. I just happen to be one of those who it does work for. I've been around long enough to know that CC isn't going to work for everyone(the large publishing/radio/web company I work for isn't upgrading to CC because of the costs involved). But it does for me as I potentially venture out into the full-time freelancing world and away from the more structured big office environment. I can't make decisions based on what is best for anyone else, or what will hurt or help Adobe. Just what affects me, and that's all.

Miscellaneous - Questions from a Newbie

I just got my iPhone this week and some questions popped up. I know that some of them might fit better in other categories than "basics"...
1. Sync with Outlook - I was under the impression that the iPhone syncs up with Outlook but:
a) How can you mark an Outlook Appointment as "privat" so not everyone in your company who has access to you calender can read it?
b) Why are no documents synced, which are in a Calender Appointment save in Notes? (The Text in Notes will sync, but no PDFs for example...)
c) When I reply to an E-Mail, the info that an when I replyed is not saved in Outlook
d) in Outlook I can mark e-mails with priorities... this is not shown on the iPhone
e) can the Auto-reply or Out-of-the-Office message set or changed from the iPhone?
2. Mail
a) I have differnt E-Mail accounts and would like to use different signitures for each account... the is an App, but thats too complicated. Is there a way to have an automated signature for each acount (this should be a basic feature!!!)
b) Can I save e-mail attachments in specific folders? (eg a word doc)
3. Media
a) How can i created different Folders in the photoalbum, so I can sort them and don't have to scroll for ages...
b) Can I get access to the Folders on the iPhone, so I can copy (for example Music) for differnt sources to the iPhone?
c) Is there another Sync programm than iTunes?
d) Can I delete Apps which I don't use (eg. Weather, Stockmarket...), but which are allready installed when i bought it
4. Sounds and Alerts
a) Can i create my own ringtones (eg an mp3)?
b) Can I add other alert sounds (for E-mails for example)
c) How can I change sounds for different Events (New Mail, Alert...)?
5. Connectivity
a) Can I sync the iPhone over bluetooth?
b) Can I use the iPhone as a modem for my laptop? how?
c) If stolen, can I remotely delete it or search it via GPS?
6. Battery
a) is it normal that when you use push mail and make a couple of calls a day the battery only last for max. 20 hours?
Thats the first lot of question from week one... Thanks in advance for replys and the awaiting answers
Axl

I can answer some of them:
Is there a way to have an automated signature for each acount (this should be a basic feature!!!)
No
b) Can I save e-mail attachments in specific folders? (eg a word doc)
No. You can't save attachments - just view them
b) Can I get access to the Folders on the iPhone, so I can copy (for example Music) for differnt sources to the iPhone?
No. The iPhone cannot be directly accessed like a hard disk. There are third-party apps that allow this to a certain degree, but you can't add Media to the iPhone via this method.
c) Is there another Sync programm than iTunes?
Not really. There's some that may do some features, but not a complete replacement for it. What's wrong with iTunes?
d) Can I delete Apps which I don't use (eg. Weather, Stockmarket...),
No. But you can move them to a different Home screen.
a) How can i created different Folders in the photoalbum, so I can sort them and don't have to scroll for ages...
http://www.question-defense.com/2009/08/15/how-to-create-photo-albums-on-your-ip hone-on-a-windows-xp-computer/
a) Can i create my own ringtones (eg an mp3)?
Yes. Google "create iPhone ringtone" for a variety of options
a) Can I sync the iPhone over bluetooth?
No.
b) Can I use the iPhone as a modem for my laptop? how?
Yes, although it depends where you are. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
c) If stolen, can I remotely delete it or search it via GPS?
Yes. See MobileMe's "Find My iPhone" feature:
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/iphone.html
a) is it normal that when you use push mail and make a couple of calls a day the battery only last for max. 20 hours?
Quite possibly. Battery life seems to be reduced in the latest firmware and lots of people are awaiting a fix from Apple.

Why can't I post a question from my new system?

Hello All:
I was just trying to post a question from my new mbp but it wouldn't allow me to do anything. It continually gave me a message highlighted in 'red' that i was;t allowed to modify or post anything. I've been asking questions for quite a while and have never seen this. I also happen to have my older bmp, also logged onto the 'Apple Discussions' site, open beside me. Can anyone explain this to me please? BTW, my new system obviously has Yosemite on it while my older bmp has Lion. Thanks in advance, to all those who respond.

Ciaochiao

ChitlinsCC, I'm adding your reloaders to my article on how to make using ASC easier.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
     Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
        Start an auto reloader.
Safari = SafariTabReloader
Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
Reply technique
Open a new browser window. Pick some discussion. Open a reply window. As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in. The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
         turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
Site map of Communities and Categories
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
6) Adjust the ASC web page layout.
For FireFox
I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
For Safari
"ASCPowerTools is a Safari Extension designed to give more control"
http://www.etresoft.com/ascpowertools
7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

Need recommend to build MB + CPU + VGA ....a question from Vietnam

1st, sry my E is not good...
My job is working with 60% Pr 40% Ae (full HD)
I need recommend to help me choose 3 option
CPU + MB (in VN they same price)
1.   i7 950 + X58
2.   i7 2600 + p8z68
3.   2xE5520 + asus Z8NA (2nd)
VGA (in VN they same price)
1.   GTX 570
2.   Nivida Quadro 1800 (because quadro 2000,3800,4800.. all supported is very difficult to buy it in VN) Quadro1800 can be GPU hacked ? (2nd)
My PSU 750W
RAM DDR3 Gskill buss 1333 4x4gb
a question from Vietnam, need to help so much
Thanks alot
Waitting for Harm recommend

I concur with Harm's recommendation. The Quadro 1800 is obsolete: It is based on the equally-obsolete GeForce 9600 GT but with only a 192-bit memory bus instead of a 256-bit memory bus. As such, the only memory configuration that was available on the Quadro 1800 was 768MB. Unfortunately, Premiere Pro CS5 requires a minimum of 765MB of free, unused graphics memory just to even enable GPU accelerated mode at all even with the hack. But since Windows itself eats up some of that 768MB, you'd be left with less than 750MB of free, unused graphics RAM with that Quadro 1800. As a result, Premiere Pro CS5 will be stuck in software-only mode even with the hack if you have the Quadro 1800 as the primary card.

Any help is highly appreciated.Yes but what kind of help do you expect to get? What kind of help do you think is possible through something as cold and distant as a forum, where you clearly require personal guidance and tutoring?
If you are going to answer "example code", I should warn you that the answers are not going to be to your liking.

Question from a Newbie wireless user

Please excuse the naivete of this question. I'm completely ignorant on everything pertaining to wireless internet. My old Powerbook 400mHz G4 Titanium has never had wireless of any kind until this week when I bought a PCMCIA wireless adapter. Never used wireless, don't know anything about it.
I started following the instructions on the PCM adapter this morning to get it all set up. I plan to toggle back and forth between wired internet at home and the wireless adapter when I'm out on the road.
I was surprised when I saw the window where I enter my settings that there were no less than ten different internet services flying around the room in my house! I guess I have a lot of wireless neighbors and I could easily access their bandwidth.
I imagine the same would go when I'm in town sitting in the library. They welcome you to use their internet access, but it's in a busy end of town and I'm sure I'll see numerous services available there too.
So I'm clueless on this topic. Again, I've never used wireless internet before - but I've read about these guys who've been arrested in front of coffee houses for stealing bandwidth at WiFi hotspots when they weren't paying customers.
What's the deal with sitting in your living room and using your neighbor's internet access? I know it's not ethical and we should all get our own, but what are legalities? And say I hopped on to someone's internet access +quite accidentally+...how does one get caught if you do it quietly? And have people actually gotten into trouble beyond these two guys that made national news?
I guess my main question is exactly how careful do I need to be to set the correct access service when there are ten immediately available in a public place? Can I just click on whatever signal is strongest and log on without fear of being caught?
I hope somebody knowledgeable can set me straight on this.
Thanks.
-JOHN
ps. Here's the news item on these guys stealing wireless internet access:

You may find this technical article I've written helps you:
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/wireless.html
It is fairly long, but it was originally written in response to some questions from a non-technical friend, and so I've tried to keep it as straightforward as possible.

Questions from a beg. CF,HTML, Renaming folder/path and adding main page.

Questions from a beg. CF,HTML, Renaming folder/path and
adding main page.
Hello I have inherited this new job and I am trying to
understand it asap. I am a complete beginner to html,CF and web
development overall
Yes I grabbed some books, but if you can help me. I really
appreciate is.
I have this file structure
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Pointing to it
http://myserver/Myreport/
Here you find a MyReport folder
And find 2 .cfm
1. Index
2. version.cfm
I have 2 BIG questions, ok 3
HOW DO YOU MAKE A PAGE THAT WILL CONTAIN
The link of this MyReport.
A main page. In other words.
Main page that has a text Main report
For name of the division_
Then a link called My reports. And Your report
Prefereably sorted
· My reports.
· Your report
HOW DO I CHANGE THE FOLDER
FROM
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Pointing to it
http://myserver/Myreport/
TO
Z:\NewExport\repmining\myreport
Then point to it
http://myserver/ repmining\myreport
WHY IS THE REPDOCS NOT TYPED IN THE BROWSER WHEN VIEWING THE
MYREPORT.( i dont have to type (repdocs)to view the report?)
in other words:
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Is typed
http://myserver/Myreport/
without repdocs.
Please excuse me.
I am a real beginner.
Thanks .
Hope someone replies soon.
Take care.

OK, I think I understand your questions, so here goes:
quote:
HOW DO YOU MAKE A PAGE THAT WILL CONTAIN
The link of this MyReport.
Simply have a link on a page, ex:
<a href ="LINK URL">LINK TEXT</a>,
As for your question on your reports, I do not understand
what you are asking
quote:
HOW DO I CHANGE THE FOLDER
FROM
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Pointing to it
http://myserver/Myreport/
TO
Z:\NewExport\repmining\myreport
Then point to it
http://myserver/ repmining\myreport
If you are directly connected to the server, just create a
folder in (from what it looks like) Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\ that is
the new folwer name, ex:
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\NEW_folder and put files into it. If you
are now directly connected to the server, use a program like FTP
server to connect via FTP and do the same.
quote:
WHY IS THE REPDOCS NOT TYPED IN THE BROWSER WHEN VIEWING THE
MYREPORT.( i dont have to type (repdocs)to view the report?)
in other words:
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Is typed
http://myserver/Myreport/
this is simply because
http://myserver/Myreport/ is
set to point at the folder Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport therefore
it looks like
http://myserver is set to the folder
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\ anything you add into a folder after that will
be included.
