Help Menu - selecting on topic that you want an answer to
I am trying to find the answer to a question that I have.
I click on the help menu and get some topics related to my keyword; however, when I try to click on it to bring up the answer, nothing comes up. In other words, I was searching for the topic "screen capture" and came up with several things. I wanted to get the info on one, but when I clicked on it, the explanation did not come up.
Hi,
Try deleting these files.
com.apple.help.plist
com.apple.helpviewer.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag those files from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
Also, could you please click My Settings on the right side of this page and tell us which Mac OS X version your MacBook is running? If you aren't certain, click the Apple Menu /About This Mac. The version number will be displayed there. Thanks. We have no way of knowing if you are running Tiger or Leopard and sometimes the trouble shooting advice depends on that.

I am trying to re-install the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older I mac with a new hard drive. I run into the "select the disk "where you want to install Mac OSX but there is nothing in the window to select. Any advice?
After you install a new hard drive, you need to boot to another drive to initialize it to MAC OS Extended (journaled) format and create the partition(s) on the drive. You do this using Disk Utility. Otherwise, the mac operating install process doesn't see a formatted disk to install to.

I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so. My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album. After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location. What am I doing wrong? I know this should be a simple thing to do. Thanks
Jimmy RG
In the Elements Organizer 13
The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
in the line up of thumbnails.
Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to.
I had a Windows 2008 server which was upgraded to 2012. Now RDC doesn't work and I get the following message:
Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to.
RDC works on the server because I can reach it via other windows machines, just not my Mac any more. I suspect it is a certificate issue but I can't find it in my key chain.
Any suggestions?Hi,

I used to use log and transfer and now in final cut x I know you are supposed to use import file, however you have to import the entire clip instead of being able to select an in and an out point of the footage being imported. This is not good for me because I have a limited amount of space and if I'm going to be converting everything to prores and only using 65% of the footage that is a huge waste. Any help or work arounds would be appreciated. Thanks!
I import from P2 and 7D cards daily, it's super easy, very fast, very simple, not so complicated.
Here's how you do it.
1- CF card in a card reader, mount on Desktop, or copy whole card contents to a folder. (P2 can read directly from inside cam)
2- Open "Import From Camera" in FCP X.
3- Click "Open Archive" button.
4- Point to CF card.
* FCP X will act like L&T now.
* Select a Range of a clip you want to import, click import button.
* Select a different Range of same clip, click import button.
* If you want whole clips, highlight one or more whole clips, import.
* Imports are ProRes 422 files.
* If you want a backup of the CF or P2 card "as is", click the Create Archive button.
Very simple, no need for thrid party BS. It's really simple and easy.
Canon DSLR's have never been able to mount the cards while inside the camera. You have always needed a card reader. -
Created a new username on Tungsten E2. Need to change back to old username that I have used on Zire 31 to be able to sync files to new Tungsten. How do I change username on Tungsten?
samjoyce
Post relates to: Tungsten E2Hello and welcome to the Palm forums.
Do you have any info on your Tungsten palm that you do not want to lose? If you do have info on your TE2 that you do not want to lose, write back here for more instructions. If there is no new info on the TE2, you can go ahead and do a hard reset.
A hard reset wipes everything off your palm. It is performed by holding down the power button while sticking something thin (your stylus, paper clip) into the back reset hole of your device. Keep your hand on the power button while you release the paper clip from the reset hole. The screen will now say "Palm Powered." Take your hand off the power button. You will now see a screen in 5 languages prompting you to erase all data from the palm. The screen will say "erase all data? Yes - up, no - down" and you need to click on the up arrow (silver button on the 5 way navigator on the bottom of the palm). This will erase all the info from your device.
Now you should sync your palm. When you begin sync'ing, the computer will prompt you, "there is no user name associated with this account..." select your old user name (from your Zire 31) and then all the info will come onto your (new TE2) palm.
I hope this was helpful!

Is this really the response that you want your customer support to give.
Sorry for the lenght of the original email but I had quite a few issues that have happen. I just wanted a second source saying that this canned response is the actual response that Best Buy wants to stand behind before I either go up the ladder to make sure that the upper management are wanting to let go of business for what I consider not that hard of a fix on Best Buy's side. So far no one that I've talked to or chatted with or have received an email from seems to have actually listened/read what the problems I've had are. The best I've received so far appears to be a quick glance and canned response. I feel this response was in poor taste considering the issue that I described about the website itself and the issue I was trying to deal with in looking at product on the website.
There wasn't even a mention that John, the employee that actually tried to help would get any kind of attention for doing his job in an environment of no one else wanting to do theirs. The way all of this is coming off to me is that this is how Best Buy actually wants to do business. Is this the case?
Emails as follows ......

On April 24, 2015 between the hours of 6:00 - 7:30 PM my wife and I went into your store located at 6455 N Decatur Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89131 store number 1421. This was the absolute worst customer experience I have received in quite a long time. I am an elite plus member and spend thousands of dollars at best buy every year.
Upon entering this store we noticed that the displays looked even smaller than they have over recent months. We went in looking for two simple items. One was a HDTV antenna and the other a 3d blu ray movie that was a new release. I asked one associate if they had the items in the store and he looked up the movie for me and said that they had four copies of it and pointed me in the direction of where it should reside. He also told me to ask about the antenna at the appropriate department.
Upon, going to the area where the movies are kept we became confused, and disappointed as the rhyme and reason behind the sorting of new releases of blu ray, 3d, dvd, tv, etc all seem to make no sense. The store used to have all new releases in one big area where you would find it if it was released fairly new on whatever format it was sold in the new release section. Not any longer. Now the areas are small and the top tabs have things like favorite 3d releases/TV shows right now/Dvd's on sale all next to each other that make no sense. Why are the sections so small and why are they so convoluted? I couldn't find what I was looking for and since it was a new release and could find the blu ray version and the dvd version I was surely just missing it. Apparently I wasn't the only one.
We went looking for someone to assist us. There was no one to be found in that department. So we wandered around the store for a while looking for help and looking at product. We made it from the far back corner of the store all the way to the registers in the front of the store without coming across a single person who worked as an associate. We came across the direct TV rep, and a solar panel rep who were more than willing to sell everyone that walked by their products, which doesn't look well since they are doing their job but making it more obvious that the actual store is lacking in the customer service department.
After we made it all the way back to the front of the store I asked the same associate who couldn't quite help me all the way to speak to the store manager. We didn't get to the store manager because he was off, which is fine. We did however get to talk to an assistant who's name is John. He tried everything he could to help. He was on top of his game and had excellent customer service skills. It wasn't enough however as his computer said they had the 3d blu ray I was looking for in stock, four of them, and after leaving us in the area where we could talk to the associate who specialized in the area about HD antennas he looked for about twenty minutes and couldn't find the product either. During this twenty minutes the associate that was supposed to help us was wondering around the store I guess helping another customer, at least I'm hoping as she didn't state that was what she was doing but just kept saying that she would be with us in a minute. During this time my wife and I had talked to two more customers who were in the same boat as us. A lovely woman who was prepared to buy a TV and Blu Ray player on the spot and just couldn't decide which model of player would work for her. She was waiting even longer than my wife and I.
Upon John's return I had to ask him what was going on in the store, and he couldn't give an answer. I understand that employees cannot talk about the store policies and the politics and staffing and such but I wanted to make sure that he knew that my experience was that there wasn't that many customers in the store and that there didn't in my opinion seem to be a huge lack of employees at that moment. John tried to make up my experience by offering me the product I was looking for in a different format and that they would order it in the format that I was looking for and letting me exchange it at no cost because of the hassle I went through. This is exactly what I would have expected and he did a great job. Absolutely everything and everyone else in that store fell short of every expectation. I did not take him up on his offer but thanked him for doing a great job.
Upon coming home and trying to send this email through the website. On a few different occasions I was met with an error that my message did not get through. That was the extent of the message and there was no support given on what to do next nor was there any information on where to send an email. It did give the toll free best buy number but not what numbers to choose to get to the correct department.
Then on Friday May 8th, I was looking to purchase a monitor larger than 70" and proceeded to look on bestbuy.com for said monitors. When looking to see what my closest store had in stock I decided it would be easier to call the store to find out what they did have in store rather than clicking each individual monitor and checking if it was available in my chosen store. The first store I called was 1044 and I was helped in a timely manner. They said they carried only one monitor that was 70" or above in store. Then I called store 358 twice. The first time I called the phone rang for about a minute and then I was placed on store hold without a greeting or a can you please hold. I just heard the sound of someone picking up the phone and then store music. I was then on hold for over ten minutes before I decided to call back. When I called back this time the phone just rang until it went busy. I then decided to call store 542 where I was greeted within thirty seconds. I asked them what they had in stock and was transferred. The person I was transferred to did not give me their name I asked them what they had over 70" and they weren't sure there was just silence for a lot longer than there should have been so I asked if there was an easier way to find out what was available on the best buy website in store. She explained that I could click the product and see if it was available at the certain store and I explained that I wanted to be able to look at several products at once like all the monitors that were over 70" and see if they were available in my closest stores. She kept explaining it to me in the way I was already doing it and I kept trying to explain that I already did that and was looking to try to do more than one product at a time. She then told me that she didn't have time for this and that I should just go to amazon or something.
So based off of my last in store experience. The lack of any help I can find on your website for situations like this and because of the utter disrespect shown to me over the phone I not only purchased my monitor through amazon.com based on her suggestions but I will not be doing any business with best buy either in store or online again. Not only have you lost the thousands that I spend there on a yearly basis but you are also now out the thousands of dollars that I spend there on a yearly basis for my company.
Except for John in store and the phone experience with 1044 I am beside myself in the complete downhill slope that best buy has taken.Hello marikcraven,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, not only surrounding your store and online experience, but your feedback regarding the response you received. It certainly seems that we’ve let you down on multiple levels.
It is discouraging to hear that you, your wife, and John were unable to locate the 3D Blu-ray movie you desired, although our system indicated we had a few available. While I’m delighted to hear you were satisfied with John’s effort, it is disheartening to hear the rest of the staff left you so underwhelmed, and ultimately it doesn’t sound like you left with your antenna either. I am truly sorry for any frustration or dismay this visit may have caused. I’m glad that you ensured you brought up your concerns surrounding the lack of assistance with John.
In regards to your experience with BestBuy.com, it is strange that you encountered trouble when sending your message. Although, it seems that you were finally able to send the message, I am sorry for any frustration it may have caused you. I’m sure your frustration only heightened once you spent the time dealing with the error only to receive a response you found unsatisfactory.
As far as searching for inventory on BestBuy.com, sadly there isn’t a method to look at inventory for an individual store unless you are checking out the store’s clearance or open-box items. This would mean you would have to go through each item and check out it’s availability in your area. Typically this is a much more satisfying experience if you are able to narrow your search down to a few that you are truly interested in. With that said, I understand that this may not always be the best method. I apologize if you found this to be more of a hassle than you anticipated when you began your search for a 70” monitor, and if you had trouble contacting the individual stores regarding your inventory inquiries.
In the end, it’s clear we failed to delight you in store, online, and with our ability to address your concerns, and this resulted in you making a purchase elsewhere. I am terribly sorry that this has been your experience, as it is not indicative of the experience we strive to provide our customers. I truly hope that in the future you will feel confident enough to give us a chance to provide you with a better experience than the one you’ve described.
If you should have any questions, please let us know!
Respectfully,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

As we can always download the programmes that we want to backup in icloud from apps directly without icloud, then what's the ultimate utility of uploading programme files to icloud?
thanks a lot!Backing up to iCloud is an alternative way for apple customers to be able to save data apart from contact, calendars, notes, etc. Now it might be pointless to you and to me, but some customers do not have computer to back up to or have their CD's that they import those songs from, so they need to save it.
To me backing up to icloud is only for 8GB iphones, any other devices will take up more than the free 5GB icloud has or you buy more storage, so it does not make sense to me or some people.
