Are you familiar with Ink on mac os x?
Normally one needs to have a tablet or device that supports Ink to use all the features such as hand writing recognition and such, but
one can enable parts of it without the proper device.
Anyway, if Ink is not shown in the system preferences, you can go to /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras and double click on Ink.menu
That puts the Ink icon on the Menu Bar where you can access the Ink preferences from the drop-down menu and then turn Ink on and Show Ink Window
The small window has symbols for the Cmd, Shift, Option and Control keys and then one can press, for example, the Option symbol and set the clone source point in photoshop.
Don't know whether it will work for your students, but thought it was worth a mention.

Firefox opens with a blue screen and no options of File, Edit or Tool. Simply blue screen with close options in top right?

There is a blue window that comes up when I open Firefox. There is no options for File, Edit or Tools. And there is no bar at the bottom, there are simply the (Close, Minimize...) in the top right.

hello Steffen47 , [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940393#answer-377118 from another user] we found out that this might be related to malware active on your pc. please close all firefox windows and try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|running firefox in safemode]] (by pressing the shift key while you're starting it). in firefox safemode go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove the entry named "Codec v1.0" or any other addons that look suspicious (toolbars etc.) & you have not installed intentionally. afterwards see if you can run firefox normally again...
please also do an in-depth scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & keep firefox and your plugins up-to-date in order to stay safe on the web.

Change aligned option shortcut for stamp clone tool

I often use the stamp toll and I want to use it without the aligned option ticked.
It is simple to untick the box but it seems there is a shortcut to set the option checkbox that I cannot disable.
If I hold down the alt key and press the mouse to select an area from which to clone and I either double click or click the left mouse in short succession (it probably registered as a double click), it check the box and switch the aligned option on.
That happens very often in the way I use the stamp tool and is extremely frustrating.
Any suggestion how I can disable this shortcut?, it seems to be a combine mouse and keyboard shortcut. I cannot find any place in Photoshop or anything on the internet.

Unfortunately, i don't think you can change or delete that shortcut.
You could suggest it over here:

Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
Good Luck.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

I am currently having this same problem. This nano lasted me less than 2 years.

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

New help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd

new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.

See the info here about sharing or using the TC for data.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

My preference is the Pro because there are more port options with the MBP.

What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

I upgraded Elements but now it does not recognize Option key for Clone Stamp, Healing Brush etc.

Quit the editor, then relaunch it while holding down command+shift+option. Keep holding down the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
It wouldn't hurt to repair permissions, either.

TS3048 I am usng a bluetooth keyboard with my Mac and some of the keys are not working. They are the numbers 1 through 9. I have gone through the troubleshooting for mouse and keyboard and everything looks good. How can I get them to work again?

Hi, I am using a Mac computer that my husband set up. I have worked on it recently with no problems. Today, I am having problems with the bluetooth keyboard not working properly. The numbers 1 through 9 do not work. I have gone through troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues and everything looks good. Except, when I check the keys on the keyboard viewer, these keys still do not work. The webpage guides me through and at this point I do not know what to do next, because the keyboard is still not working properly. I sure hope there are some experienced people in the community to help me. What should I do?

Hi:
I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again. The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair. If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected. If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin.
Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables. I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger. I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one. If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense). I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items. When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens. The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info." At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section. You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad.
After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options). Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

I really need help with my Mac SE

Hey guys I recently got a MacBook and really love it. It looks like I will be part of the Macintosh family for many years. However, before I got my MacBook and I was still using a PC, I found an old Macintosh SE on eBay. I have had it since January or February and it works fine, But it didn't come with a mouse or keyboard (which I already have) and it didn't come with any floppies (OS, games) but I was able to get those from a friend of mine who is one of the hosts of the RetroMacCast. (It's one of the best Mac-related podcasts! Subscribe to it on iTunes, Podcasts are free, as most people know) He was able to send me 8 floppy disks. 4 of which are Mac OS 6.0.8 and the other 4 are games I think. But I forget how to install the OS to restore my system. I own the official Macintosh SE Owners Guide by Apple, that doesn't tell you how to restore your system. Remember, I am a fairly new Mac person, and I am not the original owner of the SE. So if anybody could post a detailed step by step instructions on how to restore my Macintosh SE, that would be of great help to me. Thanks, Please Reply!

Hi Jan and Hi to the other person who's name I don't know:
Thank you both for your answers.
"Curiosity killed the cat", but in this case, it helped a little.
I removed the HD, connected an extension power cable and a long SCSI cable and "accidentaly" I rotated the "actuator" lever, thinking that probably that was what I was being suggested by "spining the disc".
To my surprise, when I turned the SE on, the HS started to spin and I was able to see on the screen.
Nevertheless, when I shut the SE down properlu, from the Special menu, it won't start again, but if I simply shut it down from the switch, it starts again like a charm. For that, I have to move the actuator lever to a certain possition manually.
Is there a specific setting for that lever? Appears to be a magnetic actuartor.
The HD has some stuff in it, like the system and other documents that leaves a little over 16 k free.
Any more suggestions. So far, the SE is working.
best regards and TKS to both of you for your help.
Ruben
