Does anyone know how to format a Toshiba 1.5 TB canvio portable hard drive for macOS10

Hi
I have just bought a Toshiba 1.5TB Canvio portable hard drive. It needs sto be formatted for Mac (OS10.5). I was told to go to disk utility, format using FAT32.
In disk utility - erase there is an option MS_DOS(FAT). Is this what I use?
Thanks

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book mo

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book module? I can click into any other text window and edit and change attributes but I am locked out of editing text when it comes to the spine of the book. I spoke to Blurb support and they referred me to Adobe. I spent 45 minutes with support here - no one knew. I am still waiting for a call back with an answer... not holding my breath as it's been a few hours now. HELP!!!

Thanks for your reply John. I have experienced all the fiddly aspects you mentioned - these are attributes and although changing them requires the skill of a surgeon's hand - it's the actual editing of the text I can't seem to access anymore. The box just won't allow me to do anything except change attributes. Does that make sense? And it's only on the spine where I am having this issue. Puzzled! I have even rebooted the program and just now the computer - to no avail.

Does anyone know if an Airport Extreme will support WevDav connections to a USB drive for iOS devices?

With the possible demise of iDisk I was wondering if anyone knew if a USB drive hanging off of an Airport Express can be accessed via a WebDav connection? I know that iCloud will get better, but it does not feel like it meets my needs for a file store and I wanted to possibly replicate something like iDisk with the TB drive I have on my AEBS.I know one answer would be to get a Mac Mini and simply run Lion Server, but Iam looking for a way to host files that can be accessible (and automagically sync'd between my MBP and then accessible by my iOS devices. No, I don't want to use DropBox.or pay for Box.net.

Sorry, but the AirPort Express will not support a USB drive, only a compatible USB printer.

Does anyone know how to set alerts in the iCloud calendar of Outlook 2010 for PC?

Does anyone know how to set alerts in the iCloud calendar on Microsoft Outlook 2010 for a PC? Outlook gives me a warning message and does not allow me to save alerts for calendar events created in iCloud calendar. It will allow me to save events in the non-iCloud calendars.

Ignore what office says, when the warning comes up saying that the reminder will not work click on yes,
I just tested it and i had the reminder on my ihpone in outlook and also as i had the calendar open in safari it popped up on there too ( I wasn't aware it did that)

I get the pinwheel and the program freezes when trying to copy and paste in Word. Does anyone know how to fix this?

In Word I get the spinning pinwheel when I try to copy and paste. I can switch to other programs just fine but I can't perform the copy and paste and I need to perform a hard reboot to close Word. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Ibo,
This is what just worked for me:
In Finder, I've dragged all Pages files from the iCloud Drive to the Documents folder on my iMac. (Finder asks your confirmation to remove the files from iCloud; confirm that)
Once they were on my local hard drive, the files could be opened again.
It looks to me as if something has changed in iCloud quite recently, leading to this mess. Not the first time, I've had this before. Now it's back. Sigh. And, as you wrote, it renders iCloud fairly useless. Back to Dropbox I suppose.

How did you get them to install the first time and where did you get them?
Read the Installation Guide, Boot Camp 4.0 FAQ and the Windows 7 FAQ.

Does anyone know how i can embed a browser in my JFrame?

In microsoft technologies they have OLE, where I can embed Internet Explorer into any application written in VB or C++ (or C Sharp).
Does anyone know how I can do this with Java? Is there a way to make a java applet that has a browser in it?
And then if there is, can I also put an invisible layer on top of that, and paste JLabels and stuff into that, over the browser window?

Have a look at JEditorPane.
From the API Guide:
A text component to edit various kinds of content. This component uses implementations of the EditorKit to accomplish its behavior. It effectively morphs into the proper kind of text editor for the kind of content it is given. The content type that editor is bound to at any given time is determined by the EditorKit currently installed. If the content is set to a new URL, its type is used to determine the EditorKit that should be used to load the content.
By default, the following types of content are known:
text/plain
Plain text, which is the default the type given isn't recognized. The kit used in this case is an extension of DefaultEditorKit that produces a wrapped plain text view.
text/html
HTML text. The kit used in this case is the class javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit which provides html 3.2 support.
text/rtf
RTF text. The kit used in this case is the class javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit which provides a limited support of the Rich Text Format.

Does anyone know how to convert an XML file to a readable file?

All,
I have been using an APP called "SMS Backup & Restore" to backup my message conversations to my Laptop PC. It works fine BUT the backup file, once in my PC, has an XML extent such as "filename.XML"
I would like to read and/or print and/or save the text message file so does anyone know how to convert the XML file to something else so it shows all the messages without all the formatting instructions.
When I try to see the XML file it shows all the formatting. If I replace the .XML with .TXT that too shows all the formatting mixed in with the text message narrative.
When I look at the XML file in SMS Backup & Restore in the Charge phone it looks great showing all the messages just as they were on the phones display. The problem with this is that there is no way to print or read or save the messages as they appear in the file from the phone itself. I tried screen capture but if you have, let's say, a 28 message conversation you have to do 7 or 8 screen captures to get them all.
If only I could convert the XML in my PC to something that is printable or savable or readable that would be the "cats meow."
Anyone know how???

PS, You might take a look at my related post.

Ann154,
You were correct again. I deleted everything I had done to date and re-did the entire SMS backup of my 28 message conversation again and YES I was able to open it using IE-8. It looks great and it prints great and life is good! I am going to go make a donation.
Thanks again for the help. I marked this thread as answered by you.

Does anyone know how to change .mov to a supported file extension (and what extension would you suggest)? .mov works on Apperture 3.0 so I thought it would work on Final Cut Pro X....

Does anyone know how to easily change a .mov file extension to one of the accepted Final Cut Pro X extensions? I thought since .mov worked in Aperture 3.0 it should work on FCP X. Thanks

Hi Tom
Thanks
I am now doing some 1 minute import tests from various Q/T's
They are all in the same place on an External 1 TB Western Digital - connected by Firewire 800
I have just imported some 1 minute tests from other Q/T 's and they have imported Ok - quickly imported and transcoded etc fine and quickly.
Using your suggested methd of getting the details using Quicktime 7 Movie Inspector I can see NO DIFFERENCE in the formats! In fact with four of these files open I can click on each in turn and see the Inspector details for each in turn - and only the name, size etc changes - not the format!
I am really upset and confused by this as I have been trying for the last four days to get these imported. I realise that this is small potatoes to those who are having problems with even FCP 7 Files! But, these are q/t's of 30 hours worth of unique reserahc material I shot in Africa. I have made several programmes from this material before (one even shown on Discovery!) I WAS hoping that I could use the new and all singing FCPX to make some new programmes for teaching purposes
But, how can I do that if only some will import? As I posted elsehwre - i get the message "No importable files"
I am REALLY grateful for your expertise and advice here
thanks
Alan

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Barry

Does anyone know how to read crash logs?

Does anyone know how to read and interpret a crash log from the Sims Medieval? I have contacted EA but they are not helpful.
Just curious.

I use LibreOffice, a free, open source MS Office look-alike that was created and maintained by volunteers. I have been using it with my MacBook Pro since I got it last fall. It's not a perfect "copy" but it does quite well! It does preserve formatting, and uses almost all the same shortcuts.
