Help needed with iPhoto settings Please ?

Hi,
When I click the "places" tab iPhoto states that I am not connected to the internet..when I AM
I see that there are other users experiencing the same issue as me, mostly with no replies at all.
Surely somebody out there knows how to rectify this problem ?!?
My macbook pro is 3 weeks old......Mavericks 10.9.4
I have not downloaded many apps yet, and have not changed any iPhoto settings.
I have Location Services set to enabled.
My internet connection is Not dropping.
Really hoping there is a kind and understanding person out there willing to spend a few minutes to help a newbie.

Hi again LN..... I have now set it to the other option offered > Automatically <
Directly underneath that it says: include location information for published items
I haven't a clue what that means or if I should have that ticked ?
Thank you so much for the answer to my places / internet connection issue

Help needed with printer settings for wired ethernet connection

I'm hoping someone can help me with a network printing issue. I have a large format color laser printer (Tektronix Phaser) and since moving to OS 10.6 I can't figure out how to configure the printer so that the system sees it. I have a simple wired ethernet network with a couple of Macs and a couple of printers. All devices are connected via a switch. When using earlier OSs I was able to connect to the Phaser using Ethertalk. Obviously this is no longer supported and I can't figure out how to set the printer so the OS can see it. I have lots of options which can be turned on or off and in some cases set up in other ways: Ethertalk, IPX, Netware, TCP/IP, DNS, LPR, HTTP and remote internet printing, I've tried messing with these but the result is always the same--system doesn't see the printer. Currently Ethertalk is on, IPX and Netware are off, TCP/IP is on, DNS and LPR are on, as are AppSocket, HTTP, FTP and remote internet printing. I can change the IP address but no matter what address I've tried I cannot ping the printer. (I'm using a Gutenprint driver for this printer.)
I don't really know enough about all this to get anywhere and I haven't been able to find help anywhere even from tech friends. Xerox won't help me and neither will Apple. Any help would be appreciated. I can supply more detail on specifics where necessary. Thanks, Bob

Old Phaser models may becoming more and more difficult to use, but you can give this a try.
1. Configure the printer via front panel to use TCP/IP and enable DHCP if it's supported. If not then you will need to configure an IP address for the printer together with your local network's mask, and gateway IP address. Except for the first the others will be provided by opening Network preferences to see what those settings are. The printer's IP address needs to be set somewhere within the range of IP addresses your router provides locally.
2. You need the PPD file required for your printer. If you have the Phaser driver installer you can use it to install the PPD or you can extract the specific PPD from the installer package. This part is tricky because I don't know where you may find the driver now if you don't have the installer. The older installers can be accessed through the Finder by selecting the package then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. You can then rummage through the package to search for the PPD for your printer. Then navigate to the /Library/Printers/PPD/Contents/Resources/ folder and drop the PPD file inside.
3. Open Print & Fax preferences and click on Add [+] to add a new printer. Click on the IP icon in the toolbar. Select Line Printer Daemon - LPD from the Protocol drop down menu. Input the IP address you assigned the printer in the Address field. You can file in the optional fields that follow. Then from the Print Using drop down menu locate the listing for your printer and select it.

Urgent help needed with iPhoto/pdf preview for book order - mysterious pixelated areas show on PDF but not in iPhoto

Hello. I ordered an iPhoto book last week to give to my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. Tonight, I just checked on the order status and found that my book is cancelled. I received no notification about it, and all I could do was fill out the online form, so customer service will get back to me on Monday via email (if I'm lucky...). There is no telephone number for me to call about this. I decided I'd best do some searching to try to figure out what had happened.
I had thought that the preview I saw in iPhoto was the preview of the book. I found out I was wrong. So I created a PDF preview of the book and found some craziness that I don't understand. In iPhoto (and any other program, i.e. PhotoShop), my photos are fine. They are mostly TIFF format and high resolution with a few high res JPEGs. However, when I view the PDF, there is a band of black and white pixelation about 1/2-inch across the bottom of some pages - not all. The photos in that area are messed up in that band zone. The other photos are totally unaffected. This affects both TIFF and JPEG photos, and both black and white and color.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what was your solution? I would be extremely grateful to anyone for advice or information about this! The anniversary party is less than a week away and I'm beyond my limit of stress right now...

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library. Import enough photos for a book (use some of those in the current book) create a new book and preview as a PDF. If you don't see the problem then it's limited to your library which may be damaged. If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.
Click to view full size
If you get the same problem in the test library then log into another user account on your Mac, create a test library and try it there. If the problem shows up there a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
If you don't encounter the problem in the other user account then it's something in your account that's the culprit. Post back with the results.

um... that's what I meant... the OP had all four sides styled
separately,
with 0 for one side... but mentioned he wanted a border on
all sides....
hence my arrow pointing out the side that had 0 for border
and what could
be used as a shortcut method of styling the border....
Maybe my post wasn't exactly clear ;-)

Help needed with Internet settings

Hi
I recently bought an ipad 2 wifi with iOS 6.
The problem is I can't download apps (error: app can't be downloaded at this time), maps don't load, safari doesn't open a lot of sites (error: can't connect to server) and some sites load without pictures.
YouTube, though, works just fine.
These are the only things I've tried out so far.
I have a 2mbps mtnl connection. With a pc it's pretty fast. Utorrent consistently gives speeds of 200kbps and above. Why is it so slow with an ipad? Are there any router or network settings that I need to change? Where is this option in an ipad anyway?
The ipad seems to be working fine on an Airtel connection so it's definitely a networking problem. Can anyone help? I contacted my ISP but they are clueless.
My router is d-link 2750u. ISP is Mtnl Delhi

I just did an internet speed test. the connection speed is 2mbps over wifi.
To be clear, I have no problems connectin to wifi. The problem is I'm not able to access some (esp apple) services and websites with this ISP. I'm sure it's some router or network connection setting that needs to be changed. But which one?

Help needed with iphoto book

I am putting together a photobook. When I format it for 8'x10 hardcover some of the photos come up with a warning of low resolution. Is there anyway to preview how the pictures will print so I can figure if they are acceptable? Is there anything I can do to increase the resolutions on the photos? Any help would be appreciated.

No and no
you can not preview the print quality of a printed piece on a computer screen since the resolutions are totally different
and you can not "increase" the respolution of a photo - just like you can not change an out of focus photo - some software like Photoshop and elements can "increase the resolution by creating new pixels that are created by splitting the difference between the two pixels on each side thereby reducing pixelzation but it does not increase quality - in face it reduces it
Books need a minimum of 180 DPI so for an 8x10 print you need a photo that is at least 1440x1800
I have printed lower resolution when I really wanted the photo and the results have been ok but certinly not of the quality that photos with adaquate resolution have

Help needed with while loops please :)

I'm beginning to study java at School.
My assignment using while loops, to ask user to input 2 numbers.
I have to output all odd number between the two.
I have to output the sum of all even numbers between the two.
Output all the numbers and their squares between 1-10.
Output the squares of the odd numbers between the 2 numbers the user entered.
Output all uppercase letters.
If anyone can give me any help, I would appreciate it greatly.
Thank you.
Kelly.

It would help if you put aside your code, and wrote out some pseudo-code first so that you understand the steps you will need to take. for example
get input from user
set counter to first number entered
while counter less than/ equal to second number
      check if number is even
           if even, add to even_sum
           else output counter, along with its square
      increment counter by one
end while
output sum of evensthat block, when coded, will solve 3 of the problems, the other 2 will require separate loops
Good Luck

Help needed with 'while' loop please

Problem: When a non-integer is entered, the console displays "Enter a wager > java.util.InputMismatchException" intermitentlly.
Here is the source codes
===================
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test {
     private static int bankBalance = 1000;
     public static void main(String []args) {
          System.out.println("You entered: " + wager());
      Ask user for a wager, which must not be greater than 'bankBalance' and
      must be a valid Integer. Continue asking until a valid wager is entered.
     private static int wager() {
          Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
          int input = bankBalance + 1;
          boolean isValid = false;
          while( (input > 1000) || (isValid == false) ) {
               try {
                    System.out.print("Enter a wager > ");
                    input = scanner.nextInt();
                    isValid = true;
               } catch(java.util.InputMismatchException im_exc) {
                    System.out.println(im_exc.toString());
          return input;
}

Help needed with Synergy 4500 please

I have inherited a set of BT Synergy 4500 phones and have been trying to get them set up but am having problems - can somebody please give me some help?
First, there are three handsets but one is showing as number 4, (I suspect there might have originally been 4 but one has disappeared). I've been trying to renumber this but no luck.
When I lift the phone to make a call I get a noise that sounds like an engaged tone - not like an ordinary dial tone, and I can't seem to dial out - nothing happens.
One of the handsets indicates there are three unanswered calls - how can I clear this?
TIA

There are help pages here http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11489/~/bt-synergy-4500
The guide should tell you how to clear the calls.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

In Step 5 of "Changing the Column Components" you change the Trip Type column to a drop-down list.
5. Select TRIP.TRIPTYPEID from the Selected list and make the following changes:
* Change the Header text field from TRIPTYPEID to Trip Type.
* Using the drop-down list, change the Component Type from Static Text to Drop Down List.
6. Click OK to enforce your changes and dismiss the window. If the table columns are too wide after performing the above steps, you can resize them by selecting the first component in each column and dragging its selection handles.
7. In the Visual Designer, select the top Drop Down List component in the Table. Right-click and choose Bind to Data from the pop-up menu. The Bind to Data dialog box opens.

Help needed with my form - PLEASE!

My form on avarislaw.com is working properly.

You need to remove the javascript validation for that form element in the HTML of the form as well.

Help needed with Mac Mini please

I have just noticed the start up "dong" has stopped working and I believe this could indicate some problems somewhere, but how (without going to a "genius bar", would I go about finding out the problems?
I know it has a faulty cd/dvd drive as it no longer burns cd's or even play dvd's (going to be fun when Snow Leopard is released :/ )
Any advice of any programs I could run etc to try and solve these issues if possible please, and I can not format the drive do to the dvd not working.
Many thanks, Jim!

I wouldn't worry about the startup chime. It's been years since my Mini had one. Still works fine.
For an Intel Mini, you can try an SMC reset. Can't hurt; might help:

I suspect the CD/DVD drive is just worn-out or too dirty.

Help need with dire problem please.

Hi all, my 24 inch iMac has spat the dummy! I installed a trial version of Photo Shop and somehow while attempting to install the program I got a weird series of screen images with the prohibition sign......never seen this one before.
Tried to do a restart, but the grey Apple screen came up with rapidly repeating logo's, 'prohibition' and question marks and others too.
I though maybe an 'archive and install' might be the way to go, but first tried all the keyboard commands to get it going, not successful!
Initially the archive and install got going OK but I decided to abort the installer and go back, restart the installer and try to get into disc repair. I thought this would enable me to delete the offending installer for Photo Shop.
Now I find I cannot get the Leopard disc to fire up. A grey screen comes up with the circulating wheel, but no boot up. I have Disc Warrior, but this disc also is not recognised.
I have tried all this several times to no avail. I have everything backed up to my EHD. Cannot access this either at the moment. Thank goodness for my MacBook.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem. I would be most grateful if you could.
Ron Begg, Australia

Since your startup volume install was aborted, your disk never got "blessed" as a startup volume, that's one reason why your running into so many problems.
Also you might be "locked out" of the volume due to install abort.
Do this First -
Restart with the Command and S keys held down (single user mode)
and enter the following commands
(one at a time - pressing return after entering them):
mount -uw /
chown root:admin /
chmod 1775 /
again at the command prompt type:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat fsck until no errors found.
Once fsck has run successfully-
again and lastly at the command prompt type:
reboot
If everything was successful, you should be able to get your
Leo install disk to boot or anything else you would like to try.
