How come I can't view animated gifs as animations...in websites that have..

them they are animated, but if i dwnld them, the animations stop running...and preview just allows me to view each of the still frames that make up the animation, but nothing seems to make it run...say i want it to run on my desktop for example? how would i do this?
any ideas? thanks!

ok..so far that is the closest to what i'm looking for..thanks my friend...so now my final question reclarified....on the desktop, as in files or program icons i have on the desktop..if i have a gif, that is just stored on my desktop..is there no way to animate it just directly on the desktop without having an internet app open as a transparent window? does that make sense...like wherever finder has the preview icon open for the animated gif....depending on how you have your view options of course, is there a way to have THAT animated? or is that just not possible at this stage?
and a secondary question i guess...which the more i think about it is really just another way of wording the exisitng one...is ther eany way independent of internet browser to watch a gif animation?

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

How come you can't view your To-Do items in Ical on the Ipad 2?

I have To-Do items listed on my ICal on my mac, mobile me site, and on my email but there is no option that I can find to show those to-do items on my Ipad 2 or my Iphone 4?

Not in the calendar - you'll have to use a 3rd-party app that syncs with iCal.

How come you can't put a Tab in a Cluster?

Hello,
How come you can't put a Tab Control in a Cluster?
It looks like users have been asking this question
for years, and all the way back to LV versions 6.1.
Someday, please, pretty please, NI.
Please. Maybe by version 9.5 of LV?
Kevin.

Ben wrote: This idea just weirds me out!
Kevin: Sorry Ben, but think how I must feel.
Ben wrote: I understand the cosmetic and GUI interaction part of it OK. Its the "how would it code?" part that send my head spinning.
Kevin: We don't need to worry about that. We'll let the NI LABview guiruis worry about that. They know how to program for TABs and they know how to program for Clustors. Now they just need to put them together.
Ben wrote: Would the tab control be available via bundle by name and unbundle?
Kevin: Yes. It would simply return the value indicating which page is selected.
Ben wrote: If the cluster was an indicator and the tab value was "page1" would the user be able to select page2?
Kevin: Of course, the block diagram would simply pass the enum indicating which page to display.
Ben wrote: On the block diagram, would there be a relationship between the tab and the elements on each tab?
Kevin: None. Or no more so than the relationship of any element on a panel or front panel.
Ben wrote: On the FP the tab control has a "pages" property and from those we can get an array of refs to the controls on the pages. Would we still be able to that within a cluster.
Kevin: Yes. No Differrence.
Ben wrote: Aside from the above Q's I would guess that the tab in a cluster would only allow greater abuse of clusters i.e. "Super Clusters".
Kevin: It is not my intent to abuse any Super Cluster in any way shape or from. In contrast, would help to spread out some clutter from ones front pannels and move the clutter into tabs within a cluster. The beauty of it would be that it would come automatic, and handled by labview.
Ben wrote: There was also until recently, limitations on the size of the type descriptors. Very complex FP's and large clusters would be hit by the problem that the type descriptor need more than the 16 bit allocated.
Kevin: I would never suggest even coming close to putting more that 65535 items in a cluser in any fashion.
Ben wrote: I do not pretend to know why NI did or did not allow this. In the end I can only share my guess and hope somone who does know will post.
Kevin: Yes, somebody from NI might know something about why we can't put a Tab in a Cluster.

Related story:
I had often been mystified by "Why I could not create a waveform datatype block diagram constant?". While at NI Week and talking to Jeff Kodosky I asked him (thinking that I would get a good under-the-hood explanation of the data type used blah, blah, blah... He said "I'm not sure. It ws probably an over-sight." I noticed that in LV 8, you can now create a waveform data type constant.

Kevin:
Maybe it was an oversite. Maybe we can have Tabs in Clusters in 64bit Lab View 9.

What country are you in ? I can find it here in the UK store and it's also in the US store - search for 'snapchat', and then on the results screen tap the 'iPad only' button at the top left and select 'iphone only' instead (the app is optimised for the smaller iPhone-sized scren, so won't show in the 'iPad only' view).

HT1491 How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

There are two kinds of content, streaming and downloaded. If your show is a streaming show you have to be on the internet to view it. (akin to you not being able to watch youtube videos without being on the net)
Downloaded files can be watched anytime (within the constraints of the DRM of course)

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.

How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

Help! I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
I went to the Apple icon, but "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
How do I know IF they have been installed? Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
- I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
Thanks to any who can help
PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?

How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
It will not go to the Mac App Store
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.
