Creating graphics like on Apple's site?

I want to create graphics similar to the look-and-feel of the attached graphic. I made a square and have the roundness set at 8. What else is being done to create the look of depth with it? How is this style of gradient made? How is the shine on the top of the graphic made?
Thanks.

Thanks for doing this. I see how you added the gradients, and now I want to try to do it myself from scratch. I open the original Apple graphic in a new FW document and create a new shape that I want to take on the same look-and-feel of. I try sampling different colors of the image with a linear gradient, though it is not coming out right.
1. What is your approach when looking at a graphic like this to know how many points to add for the gradient?
2. Where do you choose to sample your colors from on the Apple graphic?
Thanks.

The best place to convey your thoughts to Apple is via

In meantime, use an Aggregator or another store. Apple has not had any problem attracting books during the last 3 years and it seems unlikely their policy on this will change to accomodate you. But there is always hope...

Unless you use the steps on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then you will need to enter credit card details before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you don't have a credit card then you will need to create a new account, and follow those instructions. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to remove it from that account first e.g.by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com - you should then be able to use it on a new account.

My iPhone 5 can't ever find my wifi in my house unless I'm like 5-10 feet from it. I bought the iPhone 5 from Apple's site and my carrier is AT&T? My iPhone 3G's wifi was hands down better than the 5's. Apple needs to get their customers the solution ASAP because everyone will blow through their data plans.

Lawrence, I wish it were so simple. Many of us have tried everything you have suggested and much more. I have even tried two other routers at home. My phone connects to public wifi fine - have tried 3 so far with no problems. Even on my home router, if I remove security, no good. I read that ipv6 is necessary, and one of my routers does support that, but still no luck. The phone started out OK, with a small glitch that I though iOS 6.0.2 would fix. The glitch was slow throughput and failure to connect automatically to known networks, along with dropping the wifi connection when charging and sleeping. My big problems started after connecting through a range extender at home, but I've chased enough coincindental red herrings to feel that is not the issue. If it were, then changing my home router would have fixed it, or there is a serious software bug in the OS. I'm just not going to waste any more time on it. Hoping a replacement will do the trick, but I've also read that many replacements fail. Somewhere, I saw that up to 60% of iPhone 5's are having wifi issues. Can't remember where, but am looking for it. Meanwhile, ZD Net is reporting on it too. The scariest symptom I've encountered is that a few times, after resetting network settings, the "Join" button was disabled. Go figure.

My ITunes account has failed to open and reccomends a "re-install". The apple support site instructs "create a new account". Any knows what will become of my music collection and account $ balance?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)
I've never lost an account balance after an uninstall/reinstall.

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?
I started creating my site on a PB 15", but when I'm home I like the speed of my iMac and I'd like to continue the editing process on my iMac but I can't find the files that iWeb saves.
I'd ideally like to save my site on my 30gig iPod using it as a hard drive between both. I would love for this to happen but I can't find the files saved by iWeb. Is this even possible?
I've even tried linking my PB to my iMac via firewire as a hard drive. No Luck.
Please Help . . .

I think iWeb only recognizes the 'domain.sites' file so while you can set up more than one site, they are in the same project.
Of course, the workround is to move the domain.sites file out of the default location, which them makes iWeb create a new one. You can then work on any number of projects, only moving the correct file into the default location for work on each one. Not elegant by any means, but until someone suggests a better way (or Apple produce a more flexible version of the software) it works fine that way.

How to send HTML email (like a Apple eNews) ?

Hello My name is Daniel... I'm a graphic designer.
My questions is... I'm doing a Newspaper eMail for a couple of clients... I already have 1 HTML page with images and text its a very simple design only four or five images witn a text and a couple of tables....
How can I do to send this HTML by mail to a ten or twenty persons? like a Apple eNews emails.... and this email can be seen in some email programs like a Outlook, Mail, Eutorage, hotmail and gmail sites... only the page without folders or images attachment ....
I have this problem for almost 4 or 5 moths... I'll appreciate your help...
Thanks a lot
Daniel
PD: Sorry about my english, I know that is very bad... I'm sorry.

Try viewing your html with Safari and using the menu option to send the page as an email. You might try sending it to yourself first to test what it looks like. As for what it will look like on all those other mail clients, you will just have to test it to find out.

My mini ipod appears off and not respond to any commands when pressed the buttons to reset, apple logo appeared and then the apple support site and it shuts down. already tried all the steps, but none worked, and when I plug it into my computer it does not appear in the iTunes bar. what do I do?

If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

Use app for graphics like ClickView?

what´s the app or software for design business graphics like ClickView?

Hello Remco Colen,
This may not be the best option, but you could use Screen Sharing to control the iMac from your MacBook Pro.
OS X Mountain Lion: About screen sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11151
With Mac OS X v10.5 and later, you can connect to another computer on your network and display that computer’s screen on your computer. While you share the computer’s screen, you can control what happens on that computer, such as opening documents or applications, opening, moving, or closing windows, and even shutting down the computer.
You can also share your computer’s screen with another computer on your network.
Screen sharing can be useful if you need to access a computer at home while you’re away from home. It can also be useful if you’re trying to solve a problem on someone else’s computer or you want to collaborate with someone on a project, such as building a website or creating a presentation.
OS X screen sharing is compatible with Virtual Network Computing (VNC), an industry standard for remote-controlling computers on a network using TCP/IP. It is also compatible with Apple Remote Desktop v2.1 or later.
If you have an iCloud account, you can use Back to My Mac to share the screen of any computer that has your account name and password entered in the iCloud pane of System Preferences, even if that computer is on a remote network.
Cheers,
Allen

Problem watching trailers in Apple Web Site only

hi,
suddenly i have an odd prolbem in watching trailers at Apple's web site.
when im loading a trailer, it just indicating that the trailer is loaded and nothing happens, and the QuickTime Player is not even starting.
i have the latest version of quicktime, flash and shockwave and in other web sites i succeeded playing trailers , its only reproducing in apple site for some reason.
when i double Clicked on the bottom of the IExplorer to see Error messages,
i saw some quicktime error however i don't know if this error is related to the problem. the Error Message is : AC.Quicktime is null or not an object.
by the way, i don't think that this is the cause but im using Iexlporer 6 and not 7.
waiting for your reply,
A.T

Amir, I'm also having a similar problem with watching trailers on Apple's site. I've tried with many of them.
Clicking on the "Small" button under "Standard" plays the movie fine inside of the browser. Clicking "480p" under "HD" takes focus away from the browser after a few seconds (and I can see QuickTimePlayer.exe appearing in Task Manager), but then nothing happens. The process, after a bunch of initial activity, just sits at zero CPU, going up to 2% periodically, as if checking on something. The player window never appears.
Here's what is more strange: if I click on the same trailer link again, it somehow kicks QuickTimePlayer.exe in the butt and soon two players will appear, one for each time I clicked. I've even tried this with other trailers, and clicking on the second one is (so far) a sure way for the player to finally do something besides sit in memory.
I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 and QuickTime 7.6. I've tried with both Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and there's no difference in the behavior of the QuickTimePlayer. Other .mov files on the hard drive (like the sample.mov in the Program Files\QuickTime directory) play instantly. The QuickTime plug-in for IE still works for .mov files on other sites and other media (.aiff, etc.)... just not for the movies on Apple's own site
I haven't seen any warnings/errors, JavaScript is on, and I'm accepting the Active X notification on Apple's site.
What is wrong, I wonder?

Wrong server address ---- needs to be changed on Apple ITUNES site

Dear Apple,
Please change our config to point to the right server for our campus.
I can not logout and login from our Apple ITUNES site because Apple has the wrong server address. Originally I signed up with www.belmont.edu but the actual ITUNES server is itunes.belmont.edu
also, if I leave open the client and select on a course the links are bad...point to the old server.
https://www.belmont.edu/cgi-bin/itunesu?destination=belmont.edu.1144766698
this I believe is not something we can fix.........
So, how do I change the server name to itunes.belmont.edu:8080/ItunesU or ItunesUPublic
thanks
Randall

Looks like IIS can do redirects. Perhaps you can have your web support team do a redirect to the Apple supplied url.

How can I adjust contrast on Apple Support Sites, etc.

I have a great problem with Apple web content. Even this attempt to type my question is plagued by the same issue: There is not enough contrast between the letters I just typed, and their back ground. A big problem for me, as it seems the font color chosen by this apple web page and its background color chosen by this webpage, are creating an almost impossible eye strain and are terrible for people suffering from various forms of eye disease such as cataracts, makular degeneration, etc. I am one of them. I use Zoom for most of my computer work and generally can do everything on my Mac. Except change this lack of contrast on any website created by Apple web designers. Apple Update sites urging me to change my OS to Yosemite are completely unreadable to me! I need somebody to read its faded print to me. I dread to change to an OS that I probably cannot read because some web designer who want to design a contrast combination that is more "far out" than the previous one. There are millions having such eye diseases and computers are one way to let them enlarge and see things needed for their continued function. Contrast settings in Accessibilty Preferences do not alleviate the problem as they simply seem to make the screen brighter if increased.
Is there any Application that would let me change the contrast settings of a website designed by Apple?

Thanks for the hep I will contact the suggested Apple site. As a guy who worked with Apple computers since they were black and white pack-backs its nice to know that I am not the only one to notice that there is a big problem here.
I experimented again with the Accessibility Preferences/Contrast settings on my MacBook Air, and discovered that If I slide the indicator to the right to "Enhance Contrast", the opposite happens on my screen: I have less contrast so that grey fonts wash out into the white back-ground more and more as the pointer is moved to the right.
I never had to adjust the settings since I bought the MacBook with OS 10.6, and its function could have been reversed by OS upgrades since then o my present OS 10.8.5, or it could have been a problem since I bought the computer (used) from my Apple dealer.
I never had to adjust the contrast settings until now, since my eyes became weaker, and the Apple websites started using fonts of too similar a color to the background they are printed on.
So with that in mind it could be a hardware problem such as a reversed +/- wiring connection to the screen, a reversed diode on the motherboard, or a short in the diode wiring, a reversed OS code setting that reverses the direction of the contrast setting for its control.
It could also be Malware or a Virus, which has not been detected by the OS, nor the latest Norton on my Macbook Air..

My ipod touch has been disabled for 212,456,875 minutes! I have followed all instructions on the apple support site to restore it but this has not worked. Help!

Without know exactly what you did or what happened:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
