    No, but if you really mean that the way you said it, I don't know that Print is the best way to this. If you haven't already, after selecting the images you want to get printed, try clicking the Export button in Book or Library module and then selecting format .PDF. Once you export the file to .PDF, try opening it where you saved it and printing from there, not in Lightroom but in Adobe Reader. If that doesn't help, here are a couple of videos that might--follow their instructions carefully with no shortcuts:
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4's Export to PDF Using the New Book Module - YouTube
    Lightroom 5 - Exporting Images | Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV
    If Lightroom keeps closing even when you try all this, you may need to reinstall Lightroom because your copy may be screwed up.

    You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display.  I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
    Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities.  It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
    Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.

  • Does anyone know if versions and auto save work with microsoft office 08 in Lion? thanks

    does anyone know if version and auto save work on office 08 with lion?

    No, they don't.
    Autosave and Versions are specific technologies that the developer must enable in their programs. It is not handled purely by the OS.
    I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but I doubt they would update 2008 to use them. Maybe 2011.

  • Does anyone know how to adjust song playback level to be the same?

    Hi, can anyone please help?
    I use ITunes for my IPod and have the problem that when I listen to my IPod, I find it quite frustrating that the songs are at different levels.
    As IPod users reading this will probably agree, it's not the best thing to be getting your IPod out every few minutes, unlocking it, and re-adjusting the volume. Especially with the security risks that are associated with doing that.
    I have used the 'Sound Check' facility in ITunes but this doesn't seem to fix the problem because the original recordings of some of my songs have been originally recorded at different levels.
    Does anyone know of a way in which you can consolidate the volume level of your library so every song is at the same (or as close as) output level?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    I have also found the "Sound check" option just about useless. For the most part, I have manually adjusted the volume levels by selecting "Get Info" for each song and moving the volume slider (on the "Options" tab).

    No one here would be privi to Apple's plans on the matter. Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature:

    In the interim, there is a reminder program for pretty much every need and taste in the App Store.

  • I can't connect to wifi with iPhone5. Does anyone knows why? and what to do?

    I can't connect to wifi with iPhone5. Does anyone knows why? and what to do?
    Thank you.

    The Holy Mecha of Wifi
    Turn router off then on Try turning your wireless router off then back on.
    Change or turn off wireless security You may want to try toggling the settings on your wireless router, switching from WPA to WEP or vice versa, or, as a last resort, turning wireless security off altogether. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
    Reset network settings on iPad. On your iPad, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset Network Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and other information, but may result in a more stable connection.
    Adjust brightness upward. Oddly, a number of users have found that they can resolve this issue by simply adjusting the iPad’s brightness level upward and off the lowest setting. To do this, tap Settings, then select “Brightness & Wallpaper” from the left-hand pane. Slide the brightness bar upward, then wait 1-2 minutes and check for an improvement in signal strength. Speculation holds that a power delivery issue associated with the screen brightness affects Wi-Fi.
    Change thresholds in router settings. Access your routers configuration screen (for most routers, open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1), then change the fragmentation threshold and the CTS/RTS threshold as described here. Some users have found success with the settings Fragmentation= 2048, RTS = 512.
    Change 802.11 spec on router. Try changing your router’s wireless spec mode from B, G and N to G only or vice versa. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
    Switch routers. Although a far-from-ideal solution, some users have found success with switching to a different wireless router.
    Turn off “Ask to Join Networks.” To do so, tap Settings on your iPad, then select “Wi-Fi” from the left-hand pane. Slide “Ask to Join Networks” to off. Speculation holds that leaving this option on causes the iPad to constantly seek networks, resulting in some type of interference with the network to which it is connected.
    Forget network then rejoin. Tap Settings on your iPad, then select Wi-Fi from the left-hand pane. Choose the network with which you are experiencing difficulty, then select “Forget this network.” Go back to the previous screen and rejoin the network.
    Turn off Bluetooth. Some users report that, perhaps due to interference issues, turning off Bluetooth can boost Wi-Fi signal strength. To do so, tap Settings then tap General in the left-hand pane. Tap Bluetooth in the right-hand pane, then slide to off.

    Does anyone know if I can get a price reduction on the Photoshop + Lightroom CC package if I already own Lightroom?

    No such thing.  It's a single package, all or nothing.
    Actually, I figure Lr is pretty much worthless anyway, at least to me, so I think of the Photography Plan as a 50% reduction on Photoshop, period.

  • Photoshop CS4- Does anyone know how to tell if two people are using same file?

    Photoshop CS4- Does anyone know how to tell if two people are using same file?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. I'm not the solution in the link.
    The problem that I am having at work it that several people in our department want to be able to update a file, but we want to be sure that no one else is currently editing that file. If someone has the file open, it's helpful to know the user's name so we can talk about when the next person can edit the file. This works in Excel files that we use, and I would love to find out how to do it in Photoshop and Illustrator.
    Thanks for the help!
