How can I use KDE apps in Openbox?

I like using Openbox because it fits very well in my netbook, it's fast and lightweight. I also like to use a good file manager, like Dolphin and a image viewer like Gwenview. I can perfectly run those apps in Openbox, but there is a dark side.
When I execute them, a bunch of extra processes come in, like knotify, kded4, khelper, kacpid, and a lot with "k"! I hate that because even after all the apps are closed, knotify (and the others) still running and consume about 90% of the CPU (specially knotify) when in normal use (without KDE apps), the average usage of it is about 10%
Is there any way to use a "standalone" Dolphin or Gwenview or any other KDE app?
Thanks!

I use also some KDE applications in openbox, and I saw also the 7% cpu usage of knotify4 after the upgrade to KDE 4.6 with a new $HOME/.kde4.
I could suppress that the same way as mentioned in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77531 post #2
ie choosing "No audio output" for the notifications.
I use regularly Konsole and play some KDE games; here are the KDE related processes running continuously :
berbae 4400 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kdeinit4 Runnin e
berbae 4402 4400 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: klauncher [kdei e
berbae 4404 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]
root 4412 1 0 10:32 ? 00:01:31 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd
berbae 4458 1 0 10:33 tty1 00:00:09 konsole
berbae 4460 4458 0 10:33 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/bash
berbae 4562 1 0 10:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/knotify4
With these processes running I get 0-1% cpu usage, of course after the change with the notifications output.
Hope that will solve also your issue.

How can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

how can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

Apps downloaded through iTunes will only run on iOS devices such as iPhones, iPod Touch, and iPads. Plug your device into your computer, open iTunes, and click on it in the bar either at the top or the left side. Then, click apps at the top, and click install next to the app you want installed.
If you are looking for apps to run on your Mac, you need to download them through the Mac App Store, not through iTunes.

Hello, I have two iphones but one Apple ID. How can I use localization apps for a dedicated device? Tx

On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

How can I use in app purchase without credit card using account balance

Hi Kaijinfromtx,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you make an In App Purchase, the iTunes Store should use any gift balance or account credit first. You may still be asked to verify the payment information on your account before completing the purchase.
You can find more information about iTunes Store billing in these articles:

How can i use whats app in iphone 3g

how can i use whatspp on i phone 3g?

Whatsapp requires iOS 4.3 or later which will not run on an iPhone 3G. If you want to run Whatsapp or any of the increasingly-more-common apps that also require iOS 4.3 at minimum, you'll need a newer iPhone.
Regards.

How can I use Messages app on non-Verizon phone?

Hi. I have two phones: A VZW personal phone and a T-Mobile phone from my employer. I wish to carry only one device when I'm at work (my T-Mobile work phone) but I wish to be able to get texts from my personal VZW number on that phone. I know I can't forward texts, so I installed the Verizon Messages Android app on my work phone, but I can't set it up with my VZW number (I figured it should work because I was able set it up on my tablet at home and it works fine there).
After I install the app on the non-Verizon phone, I open it and I get a screen asking me if I want to use the app for my default messaging app. If I click no, the app closes without giving me a chance to set it up with my personal account like it did when I installed it on my tablet.
I also noticed after I installed it, it's called Messages+ instead of Messages. Are they the same thing?

Hi, has this been resolved? I am in a very similar situation and need the app to work on my new Sprint LG G3 exactly the way it operated on my Sprint iPhone 5S. Here is how it worked on my Sprint iPhone: downloaded the VZ Messages app, followed the prompts to tie it into my work Verizon Galaxy S5 number, and started to receive texts sent to my S5 on my iPhone but in the separate VZ Messages app and not in the native iPhone messages app.
But when I install the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3, it only asks if I want to "Change default message app? Use Message+ instead of Messaging as your default message application?" That is not what I want so I tap "Cancel" and the app closes. I am not prompted with the opportunity to tie it to my Verizon S5 number like I was on the iPhone. The ability to have the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3 along side the native G3 messaging app, the exact same way it worked on my Sprint iPhone, is very important and the whole reason I switched from AT&T to Verizon for my work phone.

HT5429 How can I use this app in India? It does not show me precise navigation direction here at all?

How do I use new apple maps (GPS) upgraded in the iOS 6 of my 4S model. It is neither showing me precise location of my whereabouts nor giving me driving directions to the defined locations. I even tried putting very prominent locations near me, but it said maps server not responding. How to solve this problem? can I get the older version of maps?

The Apple Maps app will get better over time. And we will see this with each subsequent iOS upgrade. It will take time. There is nothing we can do, execept wait. Sorry.
Remember, when the original Apple/Google maps came out in the original iPhone, five plus years ago, it was garbage and pretty much unusable.

How can I use new apps on an old macbook?

Hi all.
I've been using macs since September now, and there are a number of things I've found infuriating about working on my Macbook...
My Macbook is an old, mid 2007 model, Version 10.6.8, with a 2.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4GB.
Unfortunately, this model of Macbook will not update to any later version. This means there are a lot of apps I cannot use on it.
I'm a filmmaking student, so editing is a huge part of my course. When downloading the newest version of any editing software (such as Premiere Pro or Avid Media Composer), the Macbook will simply refuse to install it, because it requires a newer version of OS X. This is just one example of the many things I cannot do due to the OS X version on here.
How can I get around using newer apps such as Premiere Pro with version 10.6.8? Baring in mind I'm a student so I cannot afford to spend money on a new hard drive or anything.
Also, if I have bought various games on Steam, but some of them are seemingly only playable on PC, can anyone tell me how I can get around playing those games on a Mac?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Steve

The Core2Duo MacBook (13-inch mid 2007) is rather dated, and to run a certain type
of software on that model you'd have to get the version which was current when the
computer model and the OS X versions it could run were prevailing. So an old version
of something you need (used, new-old-stock, etc) may do the job for a time.
Also, the Core2Duo series of early MacBook can run Lion 10.7.5 and that is about $20.
as a download with code you buy from the Apple Store online. There are a few updates
to the Lion version 10.7 once you went that far. Some older 10.6.8 capable applications
for Intel based Macs would probably still work OK in 10.7.5, but none of the PPC coded
third party applications would run without the Rosetta feature installed in Snow Leopard.
According to MacTracker database, your old Core2Duo is one of those which can run
Lion 10.7.5 at the latest, and a slight upgrade in RAM to 3GB total, is possible. Not sure
if any advantage of using two 2-GB chips would be seen as functional in there, but that
is an easy way to round off what is written as the higher supported amount of RAM. With
two of the 2 GB chips. Otherwise: one - 1 GB + one - 2 GB = 3GB lists as total.
A good repaired MacBook or MacBook Pro of earlier vintage isn't very expensive; some
companies offer the versions older than those available at the Apple Store refurbished
page, that still may be capable, yet not run the latest applications. And several of them
probably should not run Yosemite since their hardware may be marginal. Models that
cannot have their hardware upgraded to run a later OS X, should not be chanced.
Sites such as macsales.com sometimes offer used Macs, wegenermedia.com has a
few different models, since they repair computers and offer excess on their site. The
powermax company has some. Not sure who actually repairs what they sell, with an
exception to wegenermedia who does repair on-site and will accept repair orders.
The everymac.com site is helpful in comparing various build year model specifications
as is the downloadable database of update upgrade specs from http://mactracker.ca .
So, you can upgrade past Snow Leopard 10.6.8, but that may or may not break other
applications you may still be able to use from the preceding era of Mac software. Lion
also would probably prefer more RAM than SL 10.6.8, so you're max-ed out there.
The MacBook series has been discontinued for nearly 5 years (2006 to 2010) so their
last model was among the better ones. MacBook/Pro 13-inch Late 2012 remains good
since you could add RAM and possibly upgrade the hard disk drive. It's a non-retina.
Hopefully you can find a deal on some good condition later model MacBook or Pro.
Good luck & happy computing!

With a new computer, how can I use the apps/etc. on it as a 'seed' on the new computer?

I had to buy a new computer so I used the Migration Assistant to get the data from my old computer HD to the new machine. For some reason it didn't copy my iTunes data. The old HD is in an enclosure because the old machine took a lightning hit and it wasn't worth putting the money into a 7 year old machine. The HD survived.
How can I 'start from scratch' with the new machine and copy the apps/data from my iPhone and iPad to the new computer?

As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

HT201471 How can I use 2 apps at the same time?

Is it possible to use two (2) applications at once. Ie; Internet instructional video & a book app to follow along?

You can only have one app open on-screen at a time, but if the other app is 'recently used' then you should be able to double-click the home button to open the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and you can then tap that other app to switch into it.

I have iphone 4 through verizon and travelling to London. how can I use my apps in London?

Can I use a Verizon iPhone 4 in London... I would like to be able to use my apps there?

Use them the same way you use them at home.
There won't be any CDMA carriers in London. Most of the world uses GSM, so the phone/cell data will not be available.

I dont have a valid sim how can i use the apps

Hellow
i have a problem with my IPHONE 4 , it seems i cannot activate it since i do not have a valid sim yet, i will have it until de 10th of january but i want to use the other apps, liker ipod and so on. I dont need the server to use the apps but still it wont even let me acess the main menu it stays on the configuration screen says that i dont have a valid sim and it wont continue.
I wan wondering if you could tell me how to acess the aps witouh the valid sim .. thank you
,Daniel Ospina

Wait until you get a valid SIM card. The iPhone requires a SIM card for activation, but that SIM card does not need to be active. Borrow a SIM from another phone or from a friend to activate the device.

The car gauge app available from the itunes store utilizes an OBDII Bluetooth adapter, but I can't configure the Bluetooth address. How can I use this app I just installed, it has to have the Bluetooth address configured.

I saw an advertisement in a car magazine for an app that would provide gauge read outs available for download from the app store. So I went to the app store, found the app, downloaded and installed it. I then purchased the Bluetooth OBD hardware adapter required to transmit the data from the car to the phone. The adapter has to be configured for the app to communicate with it. This is an apple approved app. But everything I've read says that apple will not allow iPhone owners to make any adjustments to their Bluetooth addresses. And that iPhone only provides Bluetooth connectivity to basic head sets speakers and audio formats through the car stereos ( but no audio streaming).
Bottom line, apple approved app and hardware that can't be configured unless I perform a jailbreak? I don't want to JB the phone but it seems that apple has left me with no other options. I've already invested time and money on this software and hardware. Their must be a legitimate way to use this apple approved software. Does anyone know how to adjust/configure bluetooth settings/addresses?

Generally, if you have to enter a code for bluetooth, your iPhone will ask you to enter a 4 digit code when pairing. Check the instructions for the device you are trying to pair with your iPhone. The instructions should give you the code in the pairing instructions, if a code is required.
