Hi First time Posting.  I can't find Preferences.  It is not listed in Finder.  Please make it simple, thanks, Carol

Hi, My first time posting.  Have been going in circles and need some help.  Started with not being able to find my memory stick, didn't show up on desktop.  Think I found a way in but the main problem right now is I cannot find Preferences.  All posts I have checked say to go to Finder and click on Preferences, but it is not there.  Can anyone help.  Thanks

You have to click on the word "Finder" in the menu bar. (If you do not see the word click anywhere on the desktop.) When you do that you will see a list of options. In the list, click on Preferences. Another pane will open.
Now click General (on the top row), then select everything by clicking on all the boxes in the section "Show these items on the desktop:"
Close this pane.

  • First time poster with a Stringy problem (new line "\n" not working...)

    Hello,
    I am having a bit of troble with making a string appear in multiple lines.
    I have the following code:
    String scores = ("1st Place "+ highInit1 + " " + highScore1 + " points\n");
    scores = scores +"2nd Place "+ highInit2 + " " + highScore2 + " points\n";
    With this string I am using swing and the following code:
    g.drawString(xxx,xxx,blah.getScores());
    When I have been doing this it always displays on a single line. I have tried positioning the "\n" in different places with no luck aswell. Any ideas what is going on here?
    Thanks

    I would suppose that drawString doesn't honor newline characters to do that. There's nothing magical about a \n character. It's just a character. It is up to the thing rendering it how it is going to treat that character. I would also suppose that's what the xxx, yyy parameters are for - to tell it where to place the text. Looks like you need two separate drawString calls.

    I'am a first time mac user, can any explain to me how to transfer file i.e. iTunes ,pictures, other files.

    Select a file you want to transfer and drag it to the desired destination.
    If you need help with the basics of OS X you can:
    Select Mac Help (or Help Center) from the Finder's Help menu and enter a search keyword. For your question you might search for "copy," "file copy," or "drag and drop" for example.
    See Apple - Support - Mac 101
    Visit the Apple website where you will find additional information and tutorials on how to use OS X.

    Most wall chargers are dual voltage (110- 220 volts) and only require a plug adopter. Check the wall charger to see if yours is.

  • I have an imac osx 5 mos.old. First time today I can not open my desktop folder/files. I need to read them. Message is: appleworks 6 quit unexpectedly. I need to read them. Is it possible that new software downloaded yesterday is problem?

    I have an imac osx 5 months old. For the first time today I can not open my desktop folders which are very important to me. How can I open these folders.
    The message when I click on the folder is "appleworks 6 quit unexpectedly". I can not open the folder. Is it possible that new software installed could cause the problem when I get the message "new softward available for your computer, install now. Maybe I should never install upgrade. Please help in layman's language how to open my folders. Thanks.

    The curious thing here is that on the one hand the code cannot be loaded so how could the trojan code be ever executed.  But you would expect the "Unexpectedly quit" message if the intel trojan did get executed in a ppc app.  So this begs the question when (and how) does the trojan code get executed in conjunction with launching an app?
    I understand code injected into a specific app like safari that uses the global environment variable to access the code in /Users/Shared.  But I don't understand how that code could be executed by attempting to run an randomly chosen ppc app.  Unless of course   other code has been injected is in a more critical place than just safari and that is scary.
    Some of this was explained to us a few weeks back by an infected user who reverse engineered the code, working with Intego to figure out why he was being re-directed on Google searches. At the time, nobody believed much of anything he was saying, but F-Secure explains it more fullly in this analysis. Note that there is a filter component to keep it from loading code into apps that would be unstable, so watch for the next variant to filter out ppc only apps.
    In a related matter, I got word from the PC side of the house that similar techniques are being used by drive-by infections that were injecting code into a running app which would disappear when they quit the app. A one-time infection, so to speak. Makes it really hard to even know you were temporarily infected, let alone how, why, what damage, etc.

    It sounds like you are trying to create a new icloud account, not just logging into an existing account.  When you type in your Apple ID and get that error, it's because you are trying to create an account using the same ID that is already being used in another account.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen.  If you are logged in, press the Delete button, then try logging in with the existing ID.
    As for pics, the most secure way is to connect ipod to PC with USB and look at the Photos tab for your device in iTunes.  Using Photo Stream is another way, but it doesn't always work, depending on conditions.

    Just hooked up new apple tv for first time. able to connect to internet (netflix, youtube) but not able to connect to my itunes account via home sharing. apple tv tells me to make sure computer's itunes has home-sharing enabled, which it does. any advice?

    Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
    apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
    any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.

  • Device not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password

    how to track my iphone5 that is already lost and when i sign in icloud my lost device is not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password. i also enabled icloud and imessage and facetime in that iphone using my current apple id that i used in icloud. pls help me

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • I have treated photos in final cut using effects. The problem is I can not export them. Please help me. Thank you-

    I have treated photos in final cut using effects. The problem is I can not export them. Please help me. Thank you-

    Ernest,
    This is how I do it: With all the video & still's in the time line, I click on each (even if I have to use the command key and click on each file). When each file is active I go under SHARE- go to EXPORT MEDIA- I use the Apple Pro Res codec 4:2:2. If you do not click on each file in the time line it will not be exported out.
    Hope this helps.

    Ok one day out of the blue my ipod just stopped working it wouldnt turn on nothing but after recovering it, it's fine now but there is only one problem my screen wont work i can't do anything on it not even unlock it please someone help!!!!

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • An update tries to run, but an error message stating "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." I can't open Firefox

    I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
    *C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    *(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)
    *C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    *Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    *Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. Do not remove personal data when uninstalling.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.
