Easier way to get into ubuntu?

i have installed ubuntu in a mac using a virtual machine, and in order to get in ubuntu i gotta open virtualbox first....So i wanted to know if there's a way to make ubuntu an icon or something u know...idk just to get into it easily.... (i know ubuntu is a OS and what im asking for might make completely no sense...but im just asking.. :$, im new at this so...it's just curiosity and... I WANNA LEARN! )

Ubuntu is a "file" under the program VirtualBox.
It's too bad you didn't choose the more commercial options with VMFusion or Parrallels, these have the ability to merge the UI of another guest operating system with OS X.
See if there is a option in VirtualBox to open the Ubuntu "file" when it launches, then all you have to do is click on the VirtualBox icon and Ubuntu will start up directly.
Linux has plenty of distros, Linux Mint is now the most popular since "Unity" occured on Ubuntu and one can't move/change the toolbar, it angered many so they left for Mint which is very customizable.

HT1473 Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

Easy way to get music from Windows Media to itunes

I have the 30gb ipod and I have over 450 songs saved on my computers hard drive as wma files. Is there as easy way to get these into itunes other than converting one song at a time? I tried syncing my ipod to Windows Media (where all my songs are) and it states that that all songs have been synced, but my ipod is still blank. Please help me or I am going to buy a different music player that can sync to other outlets then itunes.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes for Windows can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically.
See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
Importing WMA files into iTunes for Windows.
If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
iTunes: About the "Add to Library/Import/Convert functions.
However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd.

Is there an easy way to get rid of duplicates in your music library?

Is there an easy way to get rid of duplicates in your music library?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership.See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

What is an easy way to get to my app store on my computer? I can never just go to it and usually end up there by pure luck.

what is an easy way to get to my "app" store on my computer? I usually just stumble upon it my chance.

If you mean the App Store for your iOS devices, that is in iTunes. If you are running iTunes 12, then you would select the App icon in the toolbar, then select Store:

You can use another iPhone (or iPad) to restore it too, or you can login to www.icloud.com (assumng you weer using iCloud) and export your contacts from there.

Easy way to get a print out of my iTunes library

I want to get a printout of my library -- it's not big; maybe 1400 songs. I've not found an easy way to do it. The best I could come up with was to create a playlist that contains every song in my library and then print out that playlist.
It sounded good until I tried to execute it. I can't find a way to move songs in bulk into a playlist. I had presumed I could just do a CTRL-A, then paste the list into the playlist. Nope. It seems the only way to do it is to move each song into the playlist manually. That's way too much like work.
I'm not much of a computer person, so I need you to speak slowly and use small words.
I have my physical files on a Windows 7 machine and sync the family's iPads, etc from there. I'm running iTunes 11.1.1.11.
TIA
P.S. The OS list in the drop down menu stops at iOS 5.1.1. I'm actually on iOS 7.0.3

I think only some places get a sim card tool with their Iphone, I didn't. It's easy just push a paperclip firmly into the slot and it'll pop out.

What is the "easy" way to get to 3.1.2?

I've "loved" the Oracle database for many years, and is thrilled with Apex. I no longer work as a DBA, but tries to keep my technical stuff close.
I have an Apex 2.1 installation on an 10g database on Ubuntu 8.10 server. I did the lazy install then, and installed via aptitude (more or less automated install).
I would like to install 3.1.2, but must admit I almost lost courage when I read the requirements.
My Oracle install right now can be discarded, so I wanted to ask: what is the easiest way for me to get 3.1.2 installed on Ubuntu?
Install the latest version of 11g? Run a magic script, that automates all that Oracle exhaustively describes?
Thanks in advance
Yours
/Kim
End note/rant: given that oracle can describe everything in such details, why oh why, not just build an installer around it?! the chances of errors are multitudes greater with all these nitty gritty commands. My SQL Server DBAs routinely updates, installs and patches SQL Server without much of a hassle. Oracle DBAs gets ticks thinking of the testing needed...

Just to be clear, you're probably running Oracle Express Edition, or "XE" based on the fact that you installed it via aptitude and it has APEX 2.1 pre-installed. It may say 10g when you login, but please refer to it as XE in the forums so people know what db they're dealing with.
There is no "easy" way to magically install 3.1.2. You have to follow the install guide to the letter now matter what path you take. Even if you install 11.1, it only has APEX 3.0 pre-installed. Even though I really prefer 11 to 10, I think your best off sticking with XE, especially since there are no licensing issues. For what it's worth, I've suggested that APEX needs a GUI installer (such as Oracle Universal Installer) for several years now since the install / upgrade process can be a bit daunting. Until the community demands it, I don't think it's going to happen, so please, speak up if you think the install process is too hard.

Easier way to get an email server running?

This is probably going to sound noobish and ranty, and I apologize in advance for that, but I really am looking for an answer. Google has not been very helpful so far.
I currently have a VPS which I use for misc stuff, including hosting some websites. I would like to get email working, so that I can send/receive email on my website domains (via gmail or clients, not webmail).
I have read through several forum posts and various articles regarding email servers using postfix, dovecot, mysql, etc. Most tutorials on getting an email server setup contain walls of configuration settings that you need to make. They use separate programs for sending email, receiving email, full-blown databases for user accounts... It feels severely over-engineered, and I feel like my head is going to explode while trying to understand what the heck is going on.
Is there really no easier way to do this? People in forums talk about postfix being the best and easiest there is, but a wall of configuration text that doesn't make sense doesn't seem easy to me. Yeah I could probably copy/paste that text into my configuration files, and yeah it'd probably work, but I wouldn't understand how or why it worked, and I wouldn't be able to make future changes.
I would think that there would be a single package out there, a single program, that you could handle everything email (at least as far as sending/receiving email via IMAP). Kind of like how you have a web server like Apache or Nginx, where it's a single program that works out of the box, and can be configured further afterwards. Why does email have to be so difficult? I can only assume that things are setup this way in order to cover every possible configuration of email services that anyone could possibly want on any scale. But I just want a simple email server, on a single server, with just a few common options. Are there any alternatives, or is postfix+dovecot+mysql+spamd+opendkim really the only real option on linux right now?
(And before anyone says to develop something myself... yeah, it's tempting... but why spend time reinventing the wheel if it's already out there, right?)

A "web server" is rarely just Apache (or nginx, lighttpd etc) on it's own. There's often additional tools such as PHP, MySQL etc as well.
A "mail server" is the same; an encompassing term for a collection of tools that each handle different aspects. Postfix and Dovecot is all you need for what you've described; Postfix handles mail delivery (inbound mail to your users, and outbound mail from your users) while Dovecot handles presenting the received mail to your users. IMHO, it follows the Unix philosophy very well; one tool, one job. (All working together).
Postfix might seem daunting, but it is actually very well documented, inside the configuration file itself (main.cf) and on the website. This page may be a good place to start: http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGU … EADME.html
I'd suggest get Postfix working delivering inbound and outbound mail, then you can add Dovecot (or IMAP daemon of your choice) once that's up and running.

Is there any way to get into your ipod through itunes and be able to unlock it with your passcode?

I dropped my ipod and now the bottom half of my screen isnt working too well and I can't get my lock to slide over to the right to try and type in my passcode, so I was wondering if there was a way to unlock my ipod from itunes and be able to take the passcode off so it is easier for me to get into my ipod. Or if there is an easier way to kind of reset the passcode part without resetting the whole ipod. Or if i should just buy a new ipod..

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Is there an easy way to get GPS coordinates from Maps.app in Mavericks?

My DSLR doesn't have a GPS built in, but I like to Geo-tag some of my photos. I usually just take a pic with my iPhone and then copy the geo data (GPS coordinates) and paste into the photos (in Adobe Lightroom). Unfortunately, I didn't have my phone with me. I have the location stored as a bookmark in Maps, but I don't see any easy way to just pull coordinates.

Hi,
I am doing the same thing too. I have to call my reports thru menu. I tried web.show_document in my menu and it works. I also added paramform=yes and it gives the report parameters, but I want to give the user the choice of format for the reports. eg. pdf, html, excel, etc. instead of hardcoding it.
Could you please give me some idea on how can I do that??
Thanks.
