How can I drag an image from a page in Safari to the finder and have it be saved as an actual image instead of a webloc?

Safari used to let me drag an image from a webpage to the finder and have the dragged file be saved as an actual image but now all that's saved is a webloc file. I want the image saved, not a reference to the image's URL - do I now have to always use "save as" to save it?
I can understand Safari creating a webloc file if I dragged the site icon from the location bar to the finder, but to make the default behavior for dragging things that are parts of a page (not the page itself) as webloc files seems like a HUGE step backwards for usability.
Does anyone know if there's, say, a key to hold when dragging to avoid saving a webloc file or a defaults command or something to make Safari revert back to sane draging behavior?

Good questions... I'll have to try and figure out when the problem first happened - I was thinking it was when I upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 but that might not be the case... I'll try your suggestions to see if any of them eliminate the problem (I have restarted recenlty and that didn't fix it) but I'll try repairing permissions,etc. Thanks!
hmmm... Mcbuffy: are you implying that you *don't* get the webloc when dragging an image out of Safari and that this isn't a caused by change to Safari but is a big/conflict in mine?

How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files. To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
Then copy
Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?You need to know the URL of the file. You need to know the hostname, port, protocl and relative path.
The hostname is server, not file.
2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.Use the seek() to get to a random byte.
(ex. how can I read the 120th line?)The only way to find the 120th line is to read the first 120 lines. You can use other file formats to find the 120th line without reading the whole file but to need to be able to detremine where the 120th line is

How can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?

Hi all, how can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?*

Over the years this issue crops up again and again. Here are the cases I know about:
Case 1 - it simply doesn't work
I have a message in my inbox with a jpeg of about 300Mb. Select message, choose option "remove attachment" which is not greyed out, and it does not work.
Case 2 - it works if you save the message first
I move the message from the inbox to a mail box. Open the mailbox (select), select the message, choose option "remove attachment", result: the attachment is removed, a small text file is added and an error appears in the message "missing plug-in". The message size is reduced from 300Mb to a few bytes.
Case 3 - the option "remove attachment" is greyed out.
I've googled this at least 10 times and read all the advice about editing various files from the library and all the other hacks. The simple truth here is that the user should not be inconvenienced by such inappropriate behaviour. We're not used to this from Apple any more, not since OS X. Even Windows does this stuff painlessly. In fact this kind of function is something that Outlook and Exchange do incredibly well. If they didn't the corporate world would have ground to a halt.
My point: the remove attachment option should work all the time and should be redesigned. Right-click + save as + delete in the message would be a hundred times easier.

HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts. If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. 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. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can i share my network from timecapsule to other devices. The thing is i can use access internet from my macbook only.

I have recently got a Time Capsule with my Macbook pro retina 15". I am trying to setup my time capsule as a wifi station at my home. But the thing is I can only access wifi from my lap only.
How can I share my network from timecapsule to other devices, and im using OS X 10.8.2
Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
(sorry for the bad english)

How is the TC currently connected into the network?
It should work fine in bridge and create a wireless network.. it should already be able to share the network without being the main router.
Setting up wireless from wireless is difficult.
I would recommend you buy the USB to ethernet cable Apple sell as an accessory for Air and MBPr so you can actually use ethernet when required.

HT1444 how can I upgrade my macbook from 10.5.8 version to the latest version

how can I upgrade my macbook from OS X 10.5.8 version to the latest version?

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I have searched the threads and not been able to find any help.
My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4.

How can we stop jre 7 from blowing us all out of the water?

I would like to put forth a issue that greatly concerns me which is java 7. In recent times, some browsers have summarily decided that
they only allow calls to "current" versions of java. So in Mozilla's mindset, the only current version of java now is 6. It is questionable how
feasible it is for someone to manage to get firefox to call an "older" plugin like 1.5, 1.4 or 1.3. Sounds like it requires a lot of manual
configuration on each user's pc. Mozilla has put out conflicting advice on this topic.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Switching_Java_versions_-_Advanced
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html#Issues
So my big concern is that when java 7 is released, Mozilla and other browser vendors can then decide 7 is the current version and make
it nearly impossible to call java 6. Which would be terrible. Oracle would take a fine amount of time to certify 7 and only certify it on the
most recent versions of the software. I forsee great pain and suffering amongst the customers on this. How can this be prevented?
(And why doesn't oracle write it's own browser? If you write your own browser you are free from worrying about this nonsense. Also
the enterprise browser should only connect to enterprise resources and not be used for arbitrary web surfing by the users. Need a way
to restrict such a program.)
http://java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml
"Starting with Firefox 3.6, Java-based applications will NOT work unless you are running Java version 6 Update 10 or newer. "
"Starting in Firefox 3.6, Mozilla foundation will drop support on OJI (Open Java Virtual Machine Integration) and will only support the standard NPAPI and NPRuntime interfaces. The Java Plug-in which is in Java version 6 update 10 or newer versions supports the NPAPI and NPRuntime interfaces. Therefore, starting with Firefox 3.6, Java-based applets will NOT work unless you are running Java version 6 Update 10 or newer"

From the java download page:
J2SE 5.0 reached its End of Service Life (EOSL) on November 3, 2009, which is the date of the final publicly available update of version 5.0 (J2SE 5.0 Update 22). So not only Mozilla thinks that Java 6 is the only version, even the vendor of java (oracle) thinks that.
Why is it so that everybody thinks that software from the previous millennium (like JInit) of course has to work with software of this millennium (like firefox 3.6)?!? JRE 1.5 is desupported for nearly 2 Years now....and don't get me started on JInitiator which basically was released 11 years ago, but surely you will find someone who has a company standard of IE8 and JInit (and mutters why this does not work anymore). Now there comes the argument that they don't want to upgrade their forms servers or what ever else because they are afraid that the newer version does not work anymore, but surely they are update happy with their browsers, aren't they? So why just move foreward with parts of the configuration?
If you look here you may notice that JRE 1.6 will reach EOL in 2012 (2013 with Java for Business) which is about the same time when Forms 10g will reach EOL, so you not only won't get new certifications with forms 10g, you also won't get new Security Patches etc. for forms 10g. This is a perfect reason why to move on to a newer version in both cases.
I am working for a software vendor myself, and I perfectly understand why software vendors throw away compabilities and start desupporting software after a certain amount of time. If we didn't I still would have to develop my PL/SQL code so it operates flawlessly on Oracle 7 as there were surely customers out there which insisted that this version of the database runs so stable in their site, and they don't need to update as the old database software runs well. And not only that, but the point in time when it takes you longer to actually find the affected versions and patch the fix of a critical bug in all those versions takes longer than finding the bug itself (been there, done that) it is time to throw some old versions out of the window, desupport them and clean the trunk code.
Bottom line is: if you want to keep one part of your software Jurassic you better keep the whole configuration at the same age. Old software is never meant to run against software from 10 years in the future, and in the opposite it is quite an impossible task to write an infinite backward compatible software.
cheers

In List View, how can I move an item from within a subfolder up to the top level of the window's parent folder?

Up 'til now, from System 7.1 to Tiger—I skipped Leopard—you simply dragged the item onto the folder window's titlebar (since that folder's icon was, naturally, not in its own window) and BINGO! there it was, at the top level. Nothing I can think to do in Snow Leopard seems to work.

Thanks. Most definitely does, although when experimenting I found the left window edge was closer, and 'scrubbing' the item just out of the window and back in seemed to fit the underlying file and folder metaphor better to my mind than just dropping it any old where in the window.
And 'any old where', at any old speed doesn't always bring up the oh-so-subtle blue border that says, "I get it, you wanna add something to this window, hit me." That's The Clue. There seems to be an invisible line you hafta cross, and some kind of deliberate pace you hafta hit. Too fast and SL doesn't seem to always take it seriously. But that left edge scrub can be quite fast.
Sorry about the over hasty denial, I was checking my facts and editting to say you were right when the board was shut for some sort of maintenance, and my bad became permanent. Please forgive.
