How can I add callouts on top of anchored images in CS6?

I am using InDesign CS6 on a MacBook. I have multiple anchored images in a long document. Some of the images require callouts, such as labels or arrows, which should display on top of the image and should always stay with the image as if these items were also anchored. Is there a way to layer images in InDesign so that they are all anchored?
I tried grouping the callout objects with the anchored object, but you cannot select an anchored object and other objects at the same time. I know in Word you can create an image canvas and add multiple items to that, and they are all grouped together. Is there a way to do that in InDesign? Or would I have to anchor each callout along with its corresponding image?

Peter, your advice was very helpful. However, the text boxes (callout labels) that are included in the grouped objects get distorted once the grouped objects are anchored. Each text box shows the red +. When I expand the text box to fit content, the text box expands vertically so that all of the text is below the originally anchored object.
The other callouts (just lines) stay in place perfectly. Any insight into why the text boxes don't behave the same way that the lines do?

How can I have text on top of an image?

say i want to do something like this for my site:
http://www.whspconsumercare.com/images/RxDesign.jpg
what would be the best way to have those colored rounded
boxes in the background, and be able to type or place an image over
it? I tried having it as the background image, and putting the text
in a <div>, but this way the text is not always positioned
properly depending on how large the browser window is, etc.
any suggestions?

I have still not been able to figure out the problems I'm
having with my rounded boxes:
http://www.whsprx.com/indexRcorners.html
mostly, you'll see the orange box on top is messed up right
below the image. I'm not sure why, because the other boxes that
have images look fine. Help please?
(let me know if there's any additional info I can provide
that might help)

How can I add a text watermark, NOT an image

I would like to make a watermark for all of my images, but I want to vary the location it is at every time. Also, I'd like to change the color of the text according to the image. Is there a plugin out there that allows for this?
Thanks,
Zach

Zach -- try it again.
The watermark blend modes are there to help show your watermark on varying backgrounds. The Blend Mode selector is on the Watermark tab. Try all of them.
You are not limited to images. Here is a screenshot of the Border FX text tab. The options are extensive (and include separate colors for stroke and fill).

How can I add a website to Top Sites in Safari?

How can I add a website to Top Sites in Safari 7.0.1? Thanks for your help.

I figured it out. Go to the website you want to save to Top Sites. Click on Bookmarks, click Add Bookmark, a small window comes up saying "Add this page to: ", click the arrows for the drop down menu and click Top Sites and OK. Then your site will be added to your Top Sites. :-)

How can I add a symbol on top of a text box in iweb. When I add it, the symbol moves to the left or right of the text instead of right on top of it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How can i add filename on a document in pages 5.1 ?

I am allways using a template to make documents, that I save under different names. How can I add the (changed) filename in the footer of a saved document ?
It is important to me to print the filename on document, to find and edit it on my mac later.
In MS Word it is easy to automaticaly add filenames, path, author and other filedata to the document. I can't find how to do that automatically in Pages templates.
I saw earlyer answers to this question on this community, but they don't work as I expect, or only on earlier versions of pages..... I trust there is an easy way to do this.
Can someone help me please ?

That function, present in "Pages 09" (i.e. Pages 4.3) , was not included in Pages 5.0-5.1. (Nor were nearly 100 other such features, from mail merge and bookmarks to non-contiguous text selection, 2-up page viewing and the ability to set alternating left/right margins, headers & footers.Version 5.1 is also notably buggy. One work around, or partial work around, is to click the file name at the top of the window document. You can then select the filename, copy it and paste it whereever you like. As far as I can see, however, there is no way to include the path: all you get is the filename and extension.

You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account.

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).

How can I add a contact during a phone call

some times during a phone call the one im taking with give me phone number and i dont have a paper to write down this number to save later, my question is how can I add a phone number during a phone conversation?
please note that im using iphones with latest update iOS 7.1.2

While on a call you can use the "add call" or "Contacts" buttons to get to the Contacts app. You can then add a new contact or add or edit numbers in existing contacts. (If the keypad is showing, press "hide" to see the other buttons.) Press the green bar at the top of the screen to return to the phone screen. If you are not using the headset, you can switch to speakerphone first, so you can talk while doing this.
If you want to use another app while on the phone, press the home button, then choose the app. It won't disconnect the call. If you have a CDMA carrier (Sprint, Verizon) you won't be able to use cellular data while on a call.
