Easy questions, but still need help!

The first question is how do I change a ring tone? I have been able to change the ring tone before, but sometimes the ring tone doesn't even play. Instead of a ring tone playing, I get the phone vibrating. Is there something I must disable for the ring tone to play? Also, is there a way to change text messages alert as well? I also get vibrate on that one.
The 2nd question is about the camera. When I take a photo on the camera, the image comes out distorted. Not the real image, but the preview of it. It seems stretched out. I think that's actually how it's suppose to be, but is there a way to change that?
3rd question: is there a way I can add an e-mail to the address book? To text images to my e-mail mostly. If so, would they charge me for that (am thinking if texting to your e-mail is considered using internet or something like that).

1st question, go to "profiles" it should look like a speaker. Select which one you want. If you choose loud it will vibrate for a second and then ring.
2nd question, my camera sucks so I have never even really used it. As much as I love my phone, the camera is the worst. Sorry, can't help you there.
3rd question, click on the contact you want to add the additional email to, select menu, edit, then menu again, choose "add email address" and type it in.
I hope this helps.

I had to remove Mavericks and do a reinstall on 10.8.5 but still need help...

I have been trying to undo my Mavericks upgrade in October and after considerable effort I am mostly got back to 10.8.5 OS but still need a bit of help. I just want the previous OS back in place then I'll try Mavericks soon....
1)               I never seem to pay attention so is 10.8.5 the last OSX prior? As long as it isn't Mavericks, I want to get it installed.
2)               I had to reformat my iMac so I have a residual elements from 10.9 and one issue that I had before was permissions. Every number of files either on other hard drives or sometimes in my same user folder was asking for permission and authentication to simply move a file.. A popular one you'll see at the bottom the person/whatever/ problem known as fetching. Could someone just give me the general reason of this fetching and permissions problem that I ran into? Better yet since I just want to avoid it altogether into the future tell me what's the best way to assure it disappears forever.
3)          Another, which is kind of a big ticket item for me is the backup/restore/cover your (!!!) system. I was a good little iMac User and had Time Machine backed up for a period prior to the Mavericks install. I'm a little bit upset that TM isn't 100%....but what is...? I need another backup/restore system in place and that's what I am looking for recommendations on. An item that saved me a bit was that I had OS 10.8.3 on an external hard drive. The problem with that one was it was on a partition, on one of the drives requiring to be reformatted. It worked as a bridge consolidating files and all but was a big headache as a partition on the external. Recovery Disk did it's part but wasn't enough as well.   Is there a simple/easy idea...clone, disk images, boot from an external drive… ?
4)          iPhoto (9.4.3) currently will not open the libraries which iPhoto (9.5) converted. Is there way to go back? Seems the App Store and Software update don't like something. I'm getting into a loop with App Store, iPhoto and the OS. Either the software needs operating system ... then the App Store says it's incompatible or some other complaint. Right now I have 9.4.3 iPhoto installed for OSX 10.8.5 and was only able to create a new library and the converted ones currently do not open.
Thanks to your help

10.8.5 is the lates ML edition. I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup. If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup. You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files. The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files. That should fix the permissions issue. I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I need help

I've searched and read 4gb vs 8gb discussions, but still need help.

Hi again,
I've done my due dilligance by searching and reading all discussions related to this matter- but I still have a question.
I've decided on the 13" Air, 15, 256gb. My last decision is the ever so debated 4gb vs 8gb.
From ALL of the discussions I've read (here and elsewhere online) 4gb seems to be enough for the average person, and some have even tested the capacity by opening 16 applications and programs. Most of the responders are also saying 4gb is enough "if you want to keep the computer 2-3 years". Well- what if I'd like mine to last 5-7 years? (I'm working on a 2006 dying MacBook Pro currently with 2gb memory and a 100gb harddrive).
This is a HUGE purchase for me, as I do not have money to spend often on replacing big ticket items. I'd like to NOT spend the extra $136 unless I need to, to make this machine last longer than 3 years.
Thank you! This community has been a great help to me today

Since cost seems to be an issue for you, between the 128 and the 256,....go with the 128 and the 8 GIG of memory,.....such as you have detailed, it would be a better choice given what you have well explained what you want out of you computer. Just pack around a super slim HD 500GB drive in the laptop bag with your air,..they’re only 7mm thick HD, much thinner than the AIR.
I have an 13” I5 128 gig, and have nearly ever APP imaginable installed, and still have 82 Gig of wiggle room for editing, and other space needed for work.
IF ASKED which is the better upgrade choice for the money,….256 upgrade, or the 8GIG of memory, most here will agree that it’s the 8gig of memory.
HD space is extremely cheap (except inside the AIR, its SSD). If you don’t mind packing around a tiny HD, 65$ will get you 1TB, or 500GB in a superslim HD

Same problem with payment but still need help to s...

Hello,
Could one of the mods. please respond to this?
Still have a problem with paying bill/dd's. As my next bill is due by the end of the week (23/9/11) I will be billed for the whole amount. Due to current circumstances I need to be able to have a monthly budget. This is something I tried to do but without going over old ground this is currently not working. As setting up a DD requires payment of outstanding amounts I am looking for now is options which BT can offer to be able to pay my bill in regular monthly payments. I also have been charged for late payments which is not helping the issue. Could you please clarify what options are available for me to do this? I believe that I have shown 'goodwill' on my behalf to make payments but to stop this from remianing an ongoing problem I would like to resolve this ASAP. Thanks.

STARTED IT, BUT STILL NEED HELP -- INPUTTTING CHARACTERS FROM LOADED FILE INTO TABLE, SELECTING STRINGS FROM TABLE AND PLACING IN NEW TABLE, SAVING NEW TABLE TO SPREADSHEET FILE

I AM TRYING TO IMPORT CHARACTERS FROM A TAB DELIMITED FILE INTO A TABLE ON LABVIEW. ONCE THE DATA IS IN THE TABLE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SELECT INDIVIDUAL STRINGS FROM THE TABLE AND PLACE IT IN A NEW TABLE. WHEN I CLICK ON A STRING I WOULD LIKE THE SELECTED STRING TO SHOW IN A TEXT BOX LABELED 'SELECTED STEP' AFTER ALL THE SELECTED STRINGS IS IN THE TABLE I WOULD LIKE TO SAVE THE NEW TABLE AS ANOTHER SPREADSHEET -- TAB DELIMITED -- FILE, MAKING IT ACCESSIBLE TO OPEN. HERE IS WHAT I HAVE SO FAR. I CAN INPUT DATA INTO THE TABLE, BUT I CAN ONLY TRANSFER ONE STRING INTO THE TABLE I WOULD LIKE TO BE TO INPUT MULTIPLE STRINGS. ALSO WHENEVER I TRY SAVING THE FILE, IT ALWAYS SAVES A UNKNOWN FILE, HOW CAN I GET IT TO SAVE AS A SPREADSHEET FILE. THANKING ALL OF YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!

Pondered,
The question you are asking is the same one that you asked in: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=132508#M132508, to which I supplied a revised version of the original vi you used (which was modified from the original one I supplied to an earlier thread). A couple of questions: 1) What does my latest not do that is in your question, 2) Why are you starting yet another thread about the same problem? We are here trying to help, it makes it a lot easier if you keep the same problem in the same thread, it reduces duplication of effort from those that might not have been following the previous thread(s). Those of us that don't have our "names in blue" are just doing this "for fun" (the blue names are NI employees, who may still be doing it "for fun"), and it makes it more fun if it doesn't seem (correctly or not) that our attempts are ignored. If an answer doesn't help, or seems incomplete, post a little more detail to the same thread so that the original respondent, or someone new, can provide more information, or understand your problem better.

10.6.4 Woes - Read many threads but still need help!

Howdy all!
Here's the deal, I'm having problems which I can only trace back to the upgrade to 10.6.4. Everything seemed to be fine for a couple of weeks but something happened when I set-up my new office in my house (external monitor, hard drives etc) I've read so many threads and have tried different things but now am at a loss. I'm way out of warranty so I can even go to the Genius bar or will they charge me? Here's the gist.
Symptoms:
A) Long boot on gray screen, once finder is open the system is frozen for like 10 minutes, dock won't pop up etc. Mouse can move but won't click anything. After 10 minutes things seem to be fine.
B) Computer won't wake up from sleep mode (like if I close the laptop cover) but it will wake-up if the display has gone off
C) Firewire seems to no longer work
Here's what I have tried already:
1) Installed the combo update (fresh download)
2) Repaired permissions (several times and it keeps finding them)
3) Trashed my firewire port (no change)
4) Disable airport (and basically what happens when I do this is that instead of waiting 10 minutes with just a mouse arrow, I have a beachball (non-spinning) for 10 minutes which then disappears when the machine decides to work) At one point I had a hazy blue screen over my desktop and that disappeared after 10 minutes but I've only had that happen one time
5) My disk is OK per Disk Utility, and it says its S.M.A.R.T. status is enabled (or whatever it is supposed to say I forget at the moment but I checked it as one thread suggested and it was as it is supposed to be)
6) The machine boots fine in safe mode - though it is still a long boot but you can use it as soon as the finder loads.
7) The only thing I haven't done is zap my pram (will this help?) and how do you do it?
Thoughts? I can roll back to 10.6.3 which I know has pros and cons but at least it works.
My Applecare ran out and I'm pretty broke at the moment so I don't want to pay for support if I don't have to (although it's more than I don't want to spend a lot of time at the Apple Store to find out something I already know - that 10.6.4 is buggy!(
Help please and thanks so much! Sorry for the long post but I thought I would try to save some questions. I've read so many threads it was all running together.

Oh and yet a new symptom - I can't seem to sync my iPhone 3G. I could sync the photos to iPhoto, but not iTunes, it keeps timing out!

Password and Blowfish? (Much closer but still need help)

I'm still trying to decrypt a file encoded with a password-based (PBKDF2) Blowfish cipher. I'm bit further now but starting to run out of ideas. Here is what I have so far:
// 1. Given a password, build a password-based key and from that build a Blowfish key
PBEKeySpec kspec = new PBEKeySpec( pwd.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount, keySize );
SecretKeyFactory kfact = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1" );
SecretKey sKey = kfact.generateSecret( kspec );
byte[] keyBytes = sKey.getEncoded(); // Is this right?
Key bfKey = new SecretKeySpec( keyBytes, "Blowfish" );
// 2. Given Blowfish key and initialization vector, decrypt the cipherText into plainText
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding");
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec( initVector );
cipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, bfKey, iv );
byte[] plainText = cipher.doFinal( cipherText );In a full test bed, this compiles and runs just fine, except that it doesn't appear to decrypt the data as expected.
More specifically, when I use Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE to encrypt something like "This-is-a-test" and then decrypt the result with the code above only the first 8 bytes of the result return to plain text, the rest are garbage ("This-is-XXXX...").
The simple test case, at least, should work perfectly but I'm still missing something crucial. The fact that the first 8 bytes decode fine but not the rest feels like a hint to me, but I'm just not getting what the issue might be as I used the same password, initialization vector, key-, and cipher-types in both directions (encode/decode).
Help?

Umm, mea culpa on the encrypt/decrypt test; that part works now (yay!) My core issue remains, however, and that involves getting the OOo document component (content.xml) to decrypt:
The document meta-data definitely indicates "Blowfish CFB" which I take to mean "Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding".
What would help me greatly is if someone (perhaps even you, Sabre) could take a look at the following code fragment and tell me if I'm (a) doing something fundamentally wrong here (specifically with the key conversion from PBKDF2 to Blowfish), or (b) if there is an alternative way of doing what I think(hope) I'm doing, which may have different/better results. My trouble is that the decrypt step on the document produces merely binary data (not compressed data which was to come out of the decryption):
// 1. Create a password-based ("PBKDF2") key, then build a "Blowfish" key from that
    SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1" );
    PBEKeySpec pbKeySpec = new PBEKeySpec( password.toCharArray(), salt, 1024, 128 );
    SecretKey pbKey = keyFactory.generateSecret( pbKeySpec );
    byte[] encoded = pbKey.getEncoded();
    Key bfKey = new SecretKeySpec( encoded, "Blowfish" );
// 2. Initialize a specific cipher with the key, and initialization vector
    Cipher bfCipher = Cipher.getInstance( "Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding" );
    IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec( initVector );
    bfCipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, bfKey, iv );
// 3. Decrypt it
    byte[] plainText = bfCipher.doFinal( cipherText );If full code would help, I'll gladly post it, but the above is the distilled core of the thing and probably easier to grok. Thanks!

Newbie question II - Still need help........

Thanks! But I'm still lost.....
Here's my entire program...
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Lab10 extends Applet implements ActionListener {
private Button plusOne;
private Button minusOne;
private Button reset;
int buttonCount=0;
private Color myColor = Color.blue;
//Color myColor = Color.red;
public void init() {
Button plusOne=new Button ("Increase count by one");
add(plusOne);
plusOne.addActionListener(this);
Button minusOne=new Button ("Decrease count by one");
add(minusOne);
minusOne.addActionListener(this);
Button reset=new Button ("Reset the count");
add(reset);
reset.addActionListener(this);
add(plusOne);
add(minusOne);
add(reset);
}//end of init
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.setColor(myColor);
g.drawString("The count is:"+buttonCount+".",50,50);
}//end of paint

g.setColor(myColor);
myColor=Color.red;}
}//end of else
}//end of if
}//end of actionPerformed
}//end of class Lab10
I'd appreciate any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still getting the variable g error too!
Thanks

Hi!
In the actionPerformed method, you are trying to access a variable named "g" which is only accesible by the paint method. The point is that you CANT use g on actionPerformed.
To solve your problem, just delete the line where it says:
" g.setColor(myColor); "
Also take the semicolon out on every "if clause", like this one:
" if (e.getSource()==plusOne); { "
and finally...
after the line:
" myColor=Color.blue; "
just type:
repaint();
That way, you will call the paint method automatically, which is exactly what you need.
It should look like this:
if (e.getSource()==plusOne)
buttonCount=buttonCount+1;
//g.setColor(myColor);
myColor=Color.blue;
repaint();
Ok, that should do it. Take care and hope it works!!

30G IPOD, really dumb question, but I need help.

I have a question, I need to put some files onto my IPOD, and with my old IPOD I just dragged the files onto the IPOD icon on the desktop, but now I don't that icon and not sure how to get files onto my IPOD. Help.
I told you guys this was a dumb issue.

Thanks for the response, but I actually figured it out, pretty simple. The icon does appear on the desktop, just have to enable the disk preference.... I think thats what you meant.
Thanks again.

This may be a silly question, but I need help!

I have DSL internet at work, and much slower internet at home. I have been buying and download music from iTunes at home, but it takes so long to download. I'd like to do it at work if possible. If I do this, will I still be able to pull up the music at my home? Or, will I have two separate libraries?
Let me know what to do and if it's possible!
Thanks!

Tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store will only be downloadable to one computer, so you'll have to copy them from your work system and take them home and copy them onto your computer there. This should help:
iTunes 4: How to copy music between authorized computers
And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you've copied the tracks to your home computer, you'll just need to authorize it (just play any of the tracks and it should ask for your iTMS account ID and password) and you should be in business.

Half-way there, but still need help with synching individual libraries

Okay, I got my music xferred to new computer, but I'm still having problems synching individual libraries. When I did my daughter's library, I xferred purchased songs, then did the synch, so it wiped everything else out and just left me with the purchased songs (yeah, I know, big duh on my part). That's not such a big deal on her ipod because she only had about 350 songs, so I've replaced the majority of them already. However, my son and I have about 1000 songs each and I don't want to wipe out our libraries.
So, when I plug in my ipod and pull up my library, what do I need to do to keep the songs already on my ipod and synch it?
TIA

Katrina you've been very helpful, I'm just having a hard time explaining myself, I guess.
I now have all of my backed up music on my current computer, so that's all good. And I've set up individual libraries for each of us with ipods. Now I'm trying to figure out how to synch (for instance) my ipod with nearly 1000 songs with my own personal library on itunes (which is currently empty) w/o losing the songs currently on my ipod and having to drag them to my itunes library from scratch. The same applies for my son's ipod and itunes library.
My daughter's ipod only had about 350 songs, which I wound up wiping out, so I had to start from scratch putting songs in her (itunes) library, which I can now synch with her ipod. However, that would be really time consuming to do with mine and my son's ipods, so I'm hoping to figure out a way to get the songs already on our ipods into our individual itunes libraries now.

New to Numbers, tried the guides...but still need help

Hi Folks,
I have a fairly simple project; but I am new to Numbers and haven't found my answer after rooting through the guides and forums. So here goes...
I have a few categories (red, green, blue, black, and yellow). Of these categories, there are different styles to choose from (pants, shorts, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, and hats). What I'd like to be able to do is have a simple table, with dropdown menus (I believe these are called pop-up menus in Numbers). The first pop-up menu would be for the item color. When the color is chosen, I want the second pop-up menu to list the styles available to that color. When the user then chooses a style from the pop-up menu, I want the cell to the right to display the price. It would look something like this:
Cell A1 (pop-up menu); Cell B1 (pop-up menu); Cell C1 = corresponding value for parameters chosen in A1 and B1.
It's a simple pricing/order sheet that will have the same functionality for every row; that way users can have multiple rows if they need to buy multiple items, but the sheet is minimalistic in appearance.
Any idea how I can do this in Numbers? I hope I explained myself clearly enough...
Thanks!
-Michael-

knowledg333 wrote:
In that case, the pop-up menus can be fixed (it just means the list might be longer than necessary - as some colors are not available for certain styles). Alternatively, the categories can be fixed in individual cells, and the style can be the only popup menu that needs to be chosen. For example:
A1=Red; B1= (popup menu with all styles listed); C1= price for Red with the parameter in B1
A2=Black; B2= (popup menu with all styles listed); C2= price for Black with the parameter in B1
A3=Yellow; B3= (popup menu with all styles listed); C3= price for Yellow with the parameter in B1
etc...
Does that format eliminate the serious problem??
Yes it does and in this case, you may use a popup specific to the color.
To get the price of a given item, use VLOOKUP which will require a table storing the name and the price of the items.
In the look_up table you may see the name of the items and the prices of existing ones.
In cell B2 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item3
In cell B3 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item4
In cell B4 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item3, item4
In cell C2 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B2,look_up :: A:D,2)
In cell C3 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B3,look_up :: A:D,3)
In cell C4 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B4,look_up :: A:D,4)

Stupid question, but I need help.

Do I send my accessories with my new defective iphone 5? Because I already used the headphones,and It'd be nice to get another charger.Do I send just the phone by package?(I got the return package ready to go and it says only phone) The instuctions state " Do not return accessories,batteries,or memory. Seal the device in this pre-paid envelope." and in big words DEVICE ONLY. Also enough with the dumb stuff, do I get a new Iphone 5 box with all the other accessories or just the Iphone 5 is what I really wanna know.

By new I mean like an hour old, just outta the box. Turns out my first phone was defective , my dad went to the apple store and just told me to send it back. He's not a specfic guy since he ain't fully english and my moms trying to make me send back the accessories too, what I want to keep . This whole week was a major let down because my FIRST phone was defective (something wrong with the screen,camera, mic (*** apple-because of you I had to put a parentheses within a parentheses) and other stuff). So yea, ******* it apple.So remember the question people, do I get a new box like the same one they sent me or just the another Iphone 5, hopefully not defective again.

Try doing it on your computer with iTunes and then sync to your iPad to see if it clears the problem.
