Having trouble with simple tasks in pages 09
I am trying to put a single horizontal line above the page footer in a pages document that I am trying to create as a template
I've spent quite a long time with it and cannot figure it out
As much as a pain Word is, doing something like this is very simple - I thought Pages would be even easier!

You look in exactly the same place, it is a paragraph (text) format.
+Inspector > Text > More > Border & Rules > choose a stroke > click on a position > choose color, thickness & offset (how far above the text)+
You can also draw a line, using the Shapes menu on the Toolbar.

Having trouble with custom web auth page on 4404
Hi all
I am having trouble with a custom web auth page on my controller, we have edited the original file, but when we click login it goes to page cannot be displayed and it doesnt redirect to the page I want, however when I close the window and reopen it has already authenticated me.
Has anyone got a copy of some working html code I can use ?
cheersThere is sample Web Authentication bundle avaiable for download from cisco.com. if you go to the software download page and go to Wireless->Standalone Controllers->4404 you should see a link for Wireless Lan Web Authentication Bundle.
Its the same bundle whether you have a WiSM, 4404 or 2100 -
I'm having trouble with auto-correct in Pages
I am having trouble with auto-correct spelling in Pages. I have read a past discussion of this in which I believe the last comment was made in 2012. (I have the latest Macbook Pro purchased Dec 2012 and it is totally updated.) The problem is just with one word, as far as I can tell. It seems that perhaps the older problem of contractions has been resolved except for one word: "hasn't". Auto correct insists that it should be "hans't". I follwed the suggestions offered in the previous discussion about using SYMBOL AND TEXT SUBSTITUTION to correct the word but it hasn't worked. Do I just have to live with this? Surely there is a way to fix this problem? I really like using the auto-correction and would hate to have to stop using it just for one word. Thanks in advance for your help.
It should work if you have a Symbol and Text Substitution set for hans't → hasn't. Are you sure you have this substitution checked, or Symbol and Text Substitution checked overall?

Having trouble with simple word game, mainly records
OK. I need help with a lot of stuff. This is an applescript I made to be a lot like the game Jotto, except one player. Here it is:
set yescontinue to true
set totallyfinished to false
set tip10jots to false
repeat while totallyfinished is false
repeat while yescontinue is true
set finish to false
set totallyfinished to true
set yescontinue to false
set x to {"abaca", "abaci", "aback"}

set abcde to (random number from 1 to 2)
if abcde is 1 then
set y to (some item of x)
else
set y to (some item of setx2)
end if
set z to count characters of y
set y to characters of y as list

As you can see, for now I only have 6 sample words to save time compiling and running for now on my bad computer.
I need help creating a record instead of listofrecords, and also if anybody could shorten all the extra code I probably have. I also would like to limit being able to guess fake words, for example guessing aaaaa. Thank you so much, and if you have any ideas to help, please let me know.Hello
I had fun on this. You may try the following script.
(Please copy the code from this web page, not from subscribed email text)
It has been tested except for the parts using 'do shell script' and 'TextEdit'.
The 'do shell script' is used in looking up dictionary and 'TextEdit' is used in keeping a log.
(Perl code has been tested with MacPerl 5.6.1under OS9.1.)
You may use any dictionary file that contains words (one word per paragraph delimited by LF) encoded in UTF-8. (For code points in U0000..U007F, UTF-8 is identical to ASCII)
By default, it uses /usr/share/dict/words.
Cheers,
H

Having trouble with my PHP code. Appers to get stuck on a white page.
HI all,
I have just began having trouble with my PHP code. Was working before and haven't made any changes to the code since last time it worked.
What happens is after the form is submitted it goes to a white page (no text just all white page) and in the address bar it has the path for my php page. what supposed to happen is either it goes to a success page or a error page.
I've had a problem where the info entered is correct but was directed to the error page. i managed to fix that issue but i am puzzled what is happening to my php page now.
Mind you that i didn't write this code i just took over the responsiblities of this website and i am hopping that its a quick fix.
I appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.
CODE:
<?php
$to = '[email protected]';
$from = '[email protected]';
//Make sure we have some info posted from the form...
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
//Clear the body of the message to be sent
$body = '';
//go through all POSTed variables sent
while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
if($key <> "Submit" && $key <> "submit") {
$body .= $key . ' = ' . $value . "\r\n";
//Now building mail headers.....
$headers = "From: ".$from."\r\n";
//Mail message
$success = mail($to, "Email Club" . date("m/d/Y"), $body, $headers);
// CURL stuff.....
$ch = curl_init();

I am having trouble with a form, won't tab to 2nd page...
I am having trouble with a form I created in Acrobat Pro 10. I created tabs etc, they all work wonderfully in Adobe, but once I uploaded it onto the web-based program for other users, the tabs only work on page 1, I have to click on page 2 to keep tabbing through. It won't tab into it. Any advise? Also, when the users open it it opens in the web.
1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
FWIW
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
Alternative approach:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I'm having trouble with my Pages app. Over half of my document show that they are updating. I cannot open or delete the documents. Does anyone know a fix for this? Please help.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

When I open Firefox it is suppose to take me to my Yahoo home page. But it opens up showing my wifes Yahoo sigh in page in stead of mine. Having trouble with Yahoo home page sign in. Some time it brings up my wife's Yahoo log in instead of my log in how can I fix this?
Did your wife tick the box on the Yahoo sign in page to remember her for two weeks?
It would be best two have two separate Firefox profile folders, one for each of you to prevent such problems.<br />
Then you also do not have problems with deleting or changing bookmarks.

Help - anyone else out there having trouble with the new OS system on their ipad 2? I am not getting mutliple copies of several apps ont he main page. They are "collecting: in a pike int he upper left corner and the original application icon is no lobger working. I have tried a hard sync, and that didn't help.
It should only be able to have one copy of an app on the iPad. Have you tried a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Do all the apps work ? In the past a few people have taken a screen shot of their iPad screen and that has then become their background picture - so some of the 'app's may actually be on your wallpaper picture and not actual apps. Have you tried changing the wallpaper to see if that makes any difference ? -

Help! I'm having trouble with images on my web page.
I'm trying to create a page with a bunch of my photos but I need the photos broken up into groups so I can discuss the different groups. So I simply cut and paste the photo area several times BUT now when I click on any picture in any group it only does a slideshow for the last group of photos.
I guess I could simply break the single page into multiple pages but that is so inconvenient in iWeb since it doesn't let you cut and paste template pages! Apple needs to seriously fix this shortcoming. How can you not allow cutting and pasting of pages??
Here's the page I'm having trouble with:

PowerBook G4 17 (A1085) 1.5 GHz / 1.5 GB RAM / 128 MB VRAM / 80 GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.2)You probably realise by now that you're attempting to do things with iWeb which it just wasn't intended to do. Cutting and pasting the photo grid area just won't work as you want it to. To work within iWeb's limitations might i suggest that you use the 'nesting' approach described in several posts here already. Use a single representative image on your main page for each of the situations you want to cover, and link each of these to an appropriate Photo page which has 'Include page in navigation menu' unchecked.
You could add a link on each of the Photo pages which returns to your main descriptive page. -
