Even though the general language are in english, why are my dock commands german? (mid 08 macbook)

i just uograded to the new lion, and its a good OS. but i checked that although the language is english, then why are my dock command optons in german? that is also the case with my mission control headings. is there a way to fix this?

hey mate, sorry for the late reply.
thanks once again for the suggestions - after trying all of them, nothing really worked!
in fact, the situation became worse, as my macbook crashed, had to restart in safemode, and now i cannot access my dock and any lion-based apps (launch pa, mission control, etc....)
I even took my macbook to a nearby macbook outlet (not store) and they said to wait for the new 10.7.1 update, and although the processor has become slightly faster, I am yet able to access my dock.
they store itself suggested that i should downgrade to snow leopard again, however i am abroad for a while and dont have access to my installation disk, and it would require me to transfer MUCH data (ironically a thunderbolt port would have been useful!)
have you got any other suggestions? and any other poster would be truly welcome!
Cheers

  • HT5622 When setting up an apple ID for a child in family sharing, the verification questions appear in French, even though the iPhone setting is in English...

    Possible bug?  Setting up apple id for child, under icloud, family sharing, and the 3 questions come up in Frnech, even though the phone is set to English and the remainder of screens have all been in English,
    Is this a bug or is there a way to display the questions in English please,
    thanks

    I agree.
    I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
    Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
    I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
    So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
    And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
    What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
    And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
    merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
    My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
    My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
    I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
    running out of options it seems.
    Any idea on the best solution?
    Thank you!

  • My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

    My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
    Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
    P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

    You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
    Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
    Upgrade Fee
    It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
    Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
    One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

  • Not to show the detail records even though the mater records are existing.

    Dear Oracle
    I would like not to show the detail records even though the mater records are existing. Is there any block preperty I can set?
    Thanks

    I don't know the reason why you would want to do that but if you do not want to any record in the master block in
    a master-details format, then you could achieve this by setting the WHERE clause property in the block.
    e.g., master block DEPT (base table DEPT) and detail block EMP (base table EMP)
    table DEPT is as follow
    dept_id (pk)
    dept_name
    table EMP is as follow
    emp_id
    emp_name
    dept_id (fk)
    then you can set the WHERE clause in the DEPT block as follows
    exists (select 1 from emp a where a.dept_id = dept.dept_id)
    hope this help

  • How PIR's are consumed by the customer requirements even though the sales orders are blocked?

    Dear experts,
    I am using strategy 40 for material A with Backward/Forward consumption of 60 days backward and 60 days forward.
    My PIR is as follows :-
    Material Month #1 Month #2 Month #3 Month #4 Month #5 ....
    material A 100 100 100 100 100 ....
    I created a Sales Order for material A with the quantity of 600 in Day 4 of Month #1.
    After MRP run, planned order conversion and production order has been completed.
    Month #1, Month #2 and Month #3 PIR's are consumed even though we made the setting in Such a way that the sales orders should just display but not planned  . and the sales orders are into the blocked requirements list in the result of /n/afs/MD02.
    1)but why it is consuming the PIRS?
    2)is there any affect of backward and forward consumption on this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Bhargavi Desai

    Hi,
    Normally it is recommended that, not to delete PIR's one by one or remove quantity from previous periods/ requirement manually. If the PIR's of previous month is not consumed it is normally a feedback to sales people to do a analysis at their end.
    In PP point of view, normally a re-organization run is carried out by MD74, MD75 or MD76. The same can be done by  scheduling batch job to run on month ends basis w.r.t. period you specify.

  • Can't access my gift card even though the remaining dollars are located in ITunes shop window.  Continues to ask me to sign in with password to access billing information.  I have done this countless times.

    I can't access my gift card though the account balance is shown in window when I sign in to I store.  When I try to purchase a song, site requests me to sign in for billing information.  When I do this, it just keeps replacing the same window with same request.  I even changed my password, thinking that would help. 
    Help!!!!!!

  • How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

    I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

  • Even though the settings here are correct, I still cannot block ebay cookies!!!

    I've got private settings to block www.ebay.com, ebay.com, ebay*, *ebay* and they still plant cookies on me!!! How can we stop this???
    I have the latest updates from Ubuntu 10.10 plus your recent update from your site! What's up with ebay's ability to bypass my settings?

    I resolved it!!! Ebay had placed a cookie under another alias that DID NOT have ebay in it's name. This cookie kept reinserting the other ebay cookies. I don't know how they did this because it didn't have any "ebay" in the cookie name. I used Seamonkey and went to each of my sites that I allow cookies from. I did a comparison and found the BAD cookie by deleting the ones that didn't match the Seamonkey cookies. I only wish I had captured the cookie name before deleting it so I could post it's name here. Thanks anyway!

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.

    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive

    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions

    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store

  • I use tripit on both my iphone and ipad.  However, while tripit will sync with the gmail calendar on my iphone, it will not sync with the gmail calendar on my ipad, even though the setting are all in place, correctly for both.

    I use the "Tripit" travel app on both my iPhone and iPad2.  While I have no problem getting my Tripit info synced to the Gmail Calendar on my iPhone, I am unable to get Tripit to sync to the Gmail calendar on my iPad, even though the setup information (email address, settings, etc.) are exactly the same.  I know that Tripit is installed correctly on the iPad, as I am able to go to that app directly and correctly see all of my info.  However, even though I've set up the secondary "Tripit" calendar feed (to Gamil) on the iPad, it's not synchronizing and showing up.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account. why is this?

    I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account.
    How can I change the setup so on the email only the iPad rings and on the phone number only the phone rings?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • I am trying to upload files to an Apple hosted feed on KSU iTunes U (unpublished site). The file size shows as 2 GB even though the files are 50MB. The upload stalls and fails. Address:

    I am trying to upload files to an Apple hosted feed on KSU iTunes U (unpublished site). The file size in the Feed Editor shows as 2 GB even though the files are 50MB. I am using Safari on Intel Mac 10.5.8. at Kennesaw State University. Any help would be appreciated.

    This is the second day. I tried using a new Apple feed to test. Still not working. I uploaded a 50MB mp3 file. The first time the upload failed. The second time the file showed that it was uploading a 2 GB file. It has been about 20 minutes now and shows "3.5GB of 2.0GB 178% Completed". Now it has started uploading all over again - it is now showing 399.4MB or 2.0 GB - 19% Completed. I dont know if this will keep looping - but I am going to Cancel.
    Please let me know what other information do you need from me. Definitely need some help with this!
