  • How can i hide incoming calls from showing on my screen

    How can I stop incoming calls from showing on my home screen?

    If you just don't want to see the call notification on your home screen go to Settings, Notification, Phone and turn Notification Center to Off.  Or you can simply select None and calls will be listed in the Notification center but you won't see a banner / alert on the home screen.
    This also eliminates the Caller ID from being displayed before you answer the call.

    That article will contain information about which printers are AirPrint compatible, as well as information about how to use AirPrint on your iPad. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • How can I back up photos from iPhoto using terminal?

    Can I backup my photos from iPhoto using terminal or any other way(to a portable hard drive) as I have turned my laptop on and it has came to a screen giving me the option to back up from time machine, reinstall IOS or clean my drives, but neither are working so I believe I am going to have to erase my whole hard drive and potentially get a new one, but my only problem is that I haven't backed up my iPhoto images before so is there anyway I can do this?

    You are booted from Recovery Drive. Have you tried restarting so you boot normally?
    See these articles for using terminal to move

  • In photoshop elements 12 I try to delete a folder but the delete option is grayed out. how can I delete a folder from my catalogue?

    how can I delete folders from photoshop elements 12. the option to delete is grayed out an I don't know what the alternative options are

    Got it fixed!  The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
    Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed?  To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
    Then change the Open With to iPhoto application! 
    Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto!  WALLA it worked!

  • How can open an iPhoto album from Finder?

    I want to be able to double-click on something in Finder that will open up iPhoto to a specific album.
    For a lengthy explanation, read on.
    In Finder, I'm making a folder which will hold everything plot-related about the video game The Last of Us (for my own plot-referencing pleasure). Right now it contains a bunch of video clips. Well, you know that comic book prequel of the game; "American Dreams" it's called? I scanned the pages of it and saved the images to my computer, and I want to be able to access them from the Finder folder I'm making.
    I could just stuff them in as lone JPGs that open individually in Preview...but I object to doing that, because first off, Preview is ugly, and I don't want my vibe getting ruined by all that white and grey. Second, I want be able to quickly flip through the scanned pages, rather than open the images one at a time. Trying to solve that second issue, I saved all the images into one PDF so I'd be able to easily flip through the images like I want to, but when I looked the PDF over, I realized I still didn't like the feel of that Preview format. Still too grey and white and ew.
    SO, I put all the images, in order, into iPhoto (in an album that I named "TLoU: American Dreams - Scanned Pages"). They look great in iPhoto! Only thing is... Yeah, the images are nice and tidy in the iPhoto album...but to view them in iPhoto, I have to open up that application and navigate to the album. Which doesn't jibe with my original idea of packing all TLoU-related files into one Finder folder.
    ***With MP4 video files, you can double-click on one in Finder and it'll take you right to QuickTime Player. With JPGs, when you double-click in Finder it'll open up in Preview. I could set the preferences so that it'd open the image using iPhoto, but then I'd just be viewing a single image in iPhoto. I want to be taken to an album of pictures in iPhoto. I want to double-click on something in Finder that will open up to an album in iPhoto.***
    Is this possible? How do I do it? (If it's not possible, then can you suggest for some kind of workaround?)
    Thanks so much. If it seems like I'm awfully nitpicky, it's because I am.

    Also, if you just want to chat about TLoU, I'm perfectly fine with that as well

  • How to delete a shared folder from Finder?

    Hello,
    When I set up my new Powerbook, I used the migration assistant to move my files from my old PC.
    The migration assistant created a new account - Richatom2937. In order to copy my files from this new account to my own account, I created a shared folder (it got called Richatom2937), then dragged my files from this shared account into my main account. I then deleted the account Richatom2937.
    Unforutnately, there is still a shortcut to richatom2937 in Finder/Shared. How do I delete this shortcut? I can't go back to the old account to remove the folder sharing because the old account is deleted.

    You need to delete the folder in your email program. 

  • Guys give me a hint in how can i copy file/folder from mac to usb ?

    I´m trying to transfer some files from my mcbook Pro retina display to external disc(usb) and i´m not able to. Anybody can help me in this case?

    Is "transfer" nondestructive (copy) or destructive (move/delete) from your rMBP to the external USB.
    Are you using the Finder, or Terminal commands for this process?
    Is the external USB device formatted as either FAT or HFS+?
    If you receive error messages, can you share them here?

  • (How) can I add a photo from Finder to an iCloud photo stream?

    I'm a new Mac user and a little confused. From a Windows PC it is very simple to add a photo to an iCloud photo stream, taken that you have the iCloud plug-in installed. Just right-click a photo and select "Add to photo stream...". On my iMac, on the other hand, I have not yet figured out how or if it's even possible at all.
    I'm sure you know, please tell me and you will make my day :-)

    Drag the photo onto the iPhoto icon to import it, then drag it to the iCloud heading in the sidebar.

  • How can i hide this window from the start bar at bottom of screen???

    Hi,
    I have created a program that will sit on my desktop all the time but i have a little problem with it.
    Well i want my application not show in the toolbar at the bottom where my START button is, like a dialog window. I am not sure if you can do this with a frame and didnt know what the toolbar at the bottom of my screen would be known as so i didnt know what to type in the search bar.:(:(.
    Well if you can help me i be most grateful.
    Thanks in advance

    o well, that dont work in my program. My programhas
    menu bars in it so JWindow dont work.I suppose a GUI trick you could do is to put put a
    JDesktopPane in the JWindow and then put a
    JInternalFrame inside that. Then have the internal
    frame maximized to fill the JWindow to look like a
    real frame.You should not be able to move the JWindow with the JInternalFrame.
