Help an old man please
My father-in-law has spent the last 20 years compiling his memoirs and at the age of 87 he hasn't done a bad job. I'm trying to use ibook author to create a version the family can read on ipads etc however his book has a number of diffences across the layout. The main issue is a mix of singleand double spaces after a period/full stop and also single & double spacing between paragraphs.
Please can you help in idiot proof terms how I can correct this across the whole book. I have not used this piece of software before and it's driving me mad!
Thank you in anticipation.

Just to note that when you use iBooks Author there is no "etc". The standard .ibooks format it produces can only be read on an iPad (not an iPhone, not an iPod, not a Mac, not a PC). For it to be read on anything else you would have to export the book to PDF format.
If you would prefer to produce something in the .epub format which can be read on any device, the Apple app for that is Pages.

I have an apple id and an icloud id. My Iphone was set up using the icloud id. That id was not set up by myself. I do not know what the password is for the icloud accoun. My apple id is working. I would like to sell my Iphone 5, but cannot because i cannot access my second ID. Can anyone help an old man??
We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove the email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Only the person who owns an account can remove a device from it. You have no way of contacting that person ? If you can't get the account's password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com then you can try contacting Support in your country and if you can prove that it's your account then they should be able to reset its password for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 -
When I try to enlarge or edit a photo in iPhoto 11 i see a black triangle. Can someone help an old man?
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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. .

Licensed User Name - please help an olde man's failing memory
I'm sure this is a ridiculous question but I'd still like to find an answer. I have just noticed that neither Photoshop CS6 nor Lightroom 5 displays the licensed user name on either the opening splash screen or the Help/About screen. Unless I'm completely mis-remembering they (or perhaps previous versions) used to do so on one or the other screens. Can anyone please confirm one way or the other...i'ts hardly important but my confusion is irritating and I'd like to know if if they used to, if previous versions used to, of if they never did.
No the user name was not present in recent versions of Photoshop.
However in some earlier versions (I can't remember which) if you had a lot of patience and didn't close the window of Help/About the text starts to scroll and shows the list of all the people involved. At the end of that list (and it's a very long list) the last line was something like: "And a special thanks to .... (your name)". -

I receive my texts on my iPhone5. I was getting the same texts, at the same time, on my iPad2; but now I am not. In detail, for an old man please, how can I get them synced up again?
The iPad is not a cellular telephone. So "texts" that are sent using the cellular network's SMS text message system cannot go to or from your iPad.
The only text-like messages your iPad can handle are iMessages. iMessages can only be sent to or from Apple devices and only while both are either on WiFi or a cellular network that supports iMessaging (not all do). -
upgraded to lion on my 2009 summer macbook pro, now no memory left. something is screwy ...please help an old lady out..
By memory, do you mean space on your hard disk?
If so, here is one resource:
Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
Or do you really mean memory - i.e,, RAM?
In any case, what occurs that makes you think your "memory" is gone?

Just for my own privacy i would like to set up a password or pin number on my messgae app is there anything out there that will help me do this please comment if there is a possible solution out there. I know alot may say what you have to hide but ive got nothing to hide i just want one on there so my privacy is not broken by friends and family if they fancy playing on my phone and having a snoop round my phone.
If you visit these forums often, you will read about the 2 year old child who accidentally wiped out the parents phone, the kid who set a passcode and didn't remember what it was, etc etc etc

I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 5 THE PERSON FORGOT THE ICLOUD ITS AN OLD MAN SO IT HAS ICLOUD LOCK WHAT CAN I DO
I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 5 FROM OLD MAN HE FORGOT HIS APPLE ID N PAWORD O I DONT KNOW WHAT 2 DO??
If the person doesn't know the ID, they can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If they don’t know the password they can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.
If they can't or won't do this, get your money back because the phone is useless to you without it. There is no way around this and no one else can help you. -
I need help organising my iPhoto please
Can someone help me with my iPhoto.
I have 14,400 photos in my iPhoto library.
I have albums which contain the photos from the library,as I assumed once you created an album it would eliminate them from the library.
Consequently I have lots of albums with what I thought was trying to was create some order ...but instead it's left me with photos everywhere.
To create more dilema,I lost my hard-drive a few years ago and had not backed up any photos(5 years worth)....luckily for me my brother had backed up some and put them back into iPhoto for me but for some reason I now have 3 and 4 of the same photo.
To make it more annoying the photos whilst there may be 3 of the same they are all different pixel sizes?Not sure how this happened?
I've also got 3,300 photos in trash that I'm too scared to delete incase I don't have that exact photo in the library.
Is there any easy way to sort this out,because the problem is getting worse as I try to create order?
Is it possible to organize them all into folders that way I can delete them from the library and trash ?
Thanks in advanceleonieDF Hamburg, Germany
Re: I need help organising my iPhoto please
Apr 6, 2013 9:07 AM (in response to flyinghostie)
Would you mind to clarify a few points, please?
I have 14,400 photos in my iPhoto library.
o.k.
I have albums which contain the photos from the library,as I assumed once you created an album it would eliminate them from the library.
Consequently I have lots of albums with what I thought was trying to was create some order ...but instead it's left me with photos everywhere.
That part is not clear to me.
What kind of albums are you talking about? Do you mean iPhoto albums as seen in the "Albums" section of the source list?
Yes the albums are contained in the Albums section
as I assumed once you created an album it would eliminate them from the library.
Albums will index and organize the photos in your library, but not store them and not remove them from the library. All photos need to be contained in an event. When you are referring to "library", are you referring to your iPhoto library or to the "Library" section in the source list in the iPhoto window?
Yes the library I'm referring to is the Iphoto library.I do have Events also...will organising Events take them out of my Libraray?
.but instead it's left me with photos everywhere.
Perhaps you are confused by iPhoto showing you different views of the same photos.
The top part of the source list "Library" gives you access to all your photos based on the events, as list of all "Photos", organized by the Faces, or organized by the Places. You can access the same photos in four different ways.
The "Recent" section gives you access based on the date; but again you will see the very same photos, only grouped differently.
These are the access paths predefined by iPhoto. The "Albums" section and "Projects" section will give you additional custom structures to retrieve your photos, the access structure you define yourself. But it will not remove the default organisation created by iPhoto, only supplement it with your own custom structures.
To make it more annoying the photos whilst there may be 3 of the same they are all different pixel sizes?Not sure how this happened?
Now, this is probably caused by the way you reimported your photos into your new library. When you take the folders from an iPhoto library and simply import all folders, you will import each photo in three different sizes, for the library contains thumbnails, previews, and full size original image files and versions.
Would it be possible for you to repeat the import step from the backup your brother has made for you? It might be easier to sort your photos in the finder by size and only to import the full size image files, then to do that manually. What is the backup like, that your brother has made? Is it an iPhoto library or a folder containing photos and folders of your old iPhoto library?
I'm not sure how my brother saved the photos as it's been years since he re imported them for me,I'd rather do this myself than trouble him again.I've thought maybe I can set up a folder on my desktop and drag all the main photos from the library into there,then delete iPhoto and start all over again?
But before you proceed with deleting photos that you are not sure about, create a backup of the library, so you will be safe, if you accidentally delete too much.

have given my ipod touch4 to my grandson, but although I have reset factory settings, I cannot delete all my details eg visa details. I have tried but it has upset my iphone and I lost my apple account on my iphone!! HELP.... please.
Create an account for him. and use that.
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

I've already posted this prob. in VGA forum but got directed over here:-
Please help an old newbie get 8x AGP.
I've searched these forums and tried all the suggested fixes,but still can't get 8xAGP.
Got KT4 Utlra MS-6590 mainboard with latest bios(1.4) and VIA 4 in 1 drivers.
Just installed MSI FX5600-TD256 but AGP speed is greyed(blued) out in Bios, so i can't select speed.
Also tried "Driver Cleaner" and Installing just NVidea drivers,but no difference.
I don't think mainboard is auto selecting 8xAGP because when i run 3DMark I get a pitiful score (2027) and this in Motherboard info:-
AGP
Available Rate 0x00000000
Selected Rate 0x00000000
Aperture Size 0 B
Sideband Addressing
Fast Write
Also don't think it's a power issue?

All my Windows operating Systems are set to use the UI Culture: German
With Update-Help or Save-Help you can download PowerShell help in different (any) language by use of the –UICulture parameter.
Update-Help –UICulture en-US
Because my Windows OS is set to use the German UI Culture and the Cmdlet Get-Help depends on it, I cannot access PowerShell help in a different Language (English) with Get-Help.
There is still no translated German PowerShell help and even if I have installed the en-US verbose Help files I cannot use it (easily)!
I made a suggestion on Microsoft Connect to add the –UICulture Parameter to the Get-Help Cmdlet, to make it possible to call Help in a different language then the Windows Ui Culture.
As a workaround until then you can use the .NET Class [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture to set the UI Culture and get Help in a different language.
Function Get-HelpUICulture {
param (
[String]$HelpSearchString,
[String]$UICulture
# remember the UICulture
$OldCulture = [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture
trap
[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $OldCulture
# set thread to given UICulture
[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $UICulture
# call powershell help in given language
Get-Help $HelpSearchString -Full
# reset UICulture
[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $OldCulture
# Example: call PowerShell en-US help in verbose English:
Get-HelpUICulture -HelpSearchString Get-Command -UICulture ‘en-US’
