How Can I Make Several RT Selections Without Window Closing?

This applies to countless Mac settings in numerous apps and not just the RT settings.
When I want to change the RT settings, the moment I select one the window/menu closes and I have to click the RT button again to select the second setting and so on.
Basically I want to keep the window/menu open until I have adjusted/selected all the parameters.
I have put up with this type of thing happening for nearly 9 years.
Is this the way it has to be or is there a simple fix I have ben oblivious to for all this time?

Hi -
IMHO, the Mac human interface has always been simple:
Select and Do.
If the "Do" is a menu choice, the choice is applied and the menu disappears.
If the "Do" is a call for a Dialog box to make user choices, the menu disappears and the Dialog box opens and remains open until closed by the user.
Examples:
Menu Edit > Paste will paste the copy of the clipboard to your document and promptly disappear.
Menu Edit > Paste Attributes . . . will open a Paste Attributes Dialog box, and the dialog box will need to be closed by the user.
The way to tell if the menu item is going to perform an action or call for a Dialog Box for more user choices is if the menu item is followed by an Ellipsis ( . . . ).
Perhaps the best way to accomplish what you want is to use Feedback to ask for an RT Dialog Box in addition to the RT menu.

How can I make an Apple ID without credit card if the "none" tab is not visible to me?
Help me out please

Hello, aligt9p.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To create an Apple ID without a credit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

Where are you located?
Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop. It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music. How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

Either you moved or copied your iPhoto library folder to the Desktop.
Quit iPhoto. Rename the folder on your Desktop to something else, such as "foo." Launch iPhoto. If you still see all your photos, you can delete "foo."
If you don't see your photos, quit iPhoto, rename "foo" to "iPhoto Library," and put it in your Pictures folder. Try iPhoto again.

How can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

how can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

You can by placing a short cut in the windows startup folder, just like any other windows program.
However if you do you are likely to encounter problems as downloading mail while the anti virus is still loading and the network is busy announcing your machines arrival to the network ( which might be a network of one) and any of a dozen other program are loading is fraught with risk of timeouts and server disconnections as well as error messages that make little sense because they are about something that is still loading.
So the bottom line is sure you can, but if there are issues take it back out of there as a first step.

How can I create a iTunes account without a Credit card?

Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

HT2534 how can i make a apple id without a credit card

How can i make a apple id with out a credit card?

I followed the instructions 3 times
- on my daughters iPod Touch (old iPhone 4). My daughter purchased a book from i Books which I why I need to find a way to not associate a credit card with an Apple ID.
- on my iPhone 5
- on my Macbook Pro via iTunes running Mountain Lion
In all three cases the behavior was very similar. I was never presented with the "None" option. Most of the time I was presented with only credit card options and the last time I was presented with an option for a credit card or paypal.

How can I make a drive bootable without losing data on it?

Is there a way to make a second internal drive bootable without losing the data that is already on it?
The second drive was created under Panther 10.3.9. My main internal drive has had a clean install of Tiger 10.4.3. The second drive used to appear in the start up disk list when I was running 10.3.9 on the main drive. That is, it used to be bootable under 10.3.9. No kidding. After the main drive was given a clean install of Tiger, the second drive disappeared from the start up disk list. Please note: the second drive remains completely accessible when I am running off the main drive in 10.4.3. I can even use the few applications I had placed on the drive. It appears as separate drive under disk utility.
I assume the second drive was installed as slave. (Both it and the main drive were independently bootable under 10.3.9.) It is not locked. "Ignore ownership" is not checked. The system has read-write privileges. Admin has read-write all others are read only. I am the only person who has access to this machine. It is not networked.
I tried to ask this question a few days ago, but I think the way I phrased it confused the issue. My real question is NOT how did this get like this? It is can I make a drive bootable when it already has data on it?
Thanks
G4 Panther & Tiger Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
You replied:
the drive that you cannot
boot from is a separate physical hard drive from the
internal drive with 10.4.3. Is that correct?
Yes.
Have you used System Preferences > Startup Disk and
looked to see if the 10.3.9 system shows up there?
Yes, I have looked and it's not there.
I got the impression that you have backed up the 10.3.9
disk and that you do not really need the data there.
Yes, I backed up a drive that was bootable, but then it lost its "bootabilty" and what I got was two non-bootable drives--the original second internal drive that I'm asking about and the back-up of it. I want the data on the drive and I wan the drive to be bootable.
One thing that you might try when you are booted off
your 10.4.3 system is to use Disk Utility, select the
other disk and do a Repair Disk.
Done that and it says there is no problem. Nada. Zero. It just won't boot, no more, no how, no way. BUT it remains fully accessible--I can access all my info. It's just become a storage drive that cannot be booted. Go figure.
reformatting means
destroying the data on the disk.
Yup, which is why I asked my original question. Does anyone know if there is any way to make a drive bootable without destroying the data on it?
I suspect the answer is no (given these particulars), but I thought some wise super-techie out there might have a trick up their sleeve.

How can I make a local network without internet?

In Snow Leopard, I was able to make a local network in my home using internet sharing. The network was there even though my dialup modem was disconnected. Now when Lion, the network is only there if my internet is connected. How do I make a local network in my home without having to stay connected. I can click create network in the wi-fi menu, but that goes away every time I put the computer to sleep. Are there any third party apps to fix this?

If you are transfering files, you can use disk sharing instead. All you need is to connect the two computers together with an ethernet cable. For gaming, not sure.

HT1766 How can I make a NEW backup WITHOUT getting prompted for a (forgotten) password?

Hello! 1st post here,
How can I backup iPhone A to iTunes and then restore into iPhone B without getting prompted for a backup password that I do no know or remember ever setting?
To clarify, I am not trying to read an encrypted backup. I would like to make a NEW backup but I do not want it to be encrypted as I do not know nor remember how a password was set in the 1st place. If I unclick the encryption checkbox, I am prompted to enter the password. Defeats the purpose of clicking on the box, no?
Thanks,
Henry

Have you tried deleting the encrypted back up?
