How do I create fraction characters in OSX 10.9.3?

Can anyone tell me how to find fraction symbols? They used to be amongst the special characters, and now I can't find them

They're still there.
You might be getting caught out with the default minimized view of the Characters palette. Just click the icon in the upper-right corner to expand to the familiar full-sized palette.
Once expanded you can search for 'fraction' to jump right to them.

The most common ones for European languages can be created with the normal US keyboard layout using alt/option dead keys. alt + e, then e gives you é. A list:

IDCS6 - How do I create tables with large whole numbers and small fractions?

I have a lot of engineering data, dimensions, etc, to enter into an existing IDCS6 Table. I need whole numbers to display full size, but fractions to be small size. I know I can use Open Type and select the Fractions option for each individual fraction, but that would take forever and give me a roaring headache.
How do I create a style (or whatever) that will allow me to just type in the numbers and have them automatically apply small formatting to the fraction portion of the number whenever it sees a "/"?
Along a similar line, I was trying to copy table data from a PDF document from Acrobat X Pro and paste that into an IDCS6 table, so each cell is populated by the appropriate cell data from the PDF file, but didn't have any success. That would really save me a lot of time, because I have many complete tables in PDF format. The data is not protected in the PDF, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to bring it over to IDCS6.
On a Mac, OSX 10.8.5.
Thanks,
Lou

There are a number of ways to do it, but I make fractions using Dan Rodney's excellent (and free) Proper Fraction script. After it's installed; assign it a keyboard shortcut. Then type your numerator/denominator, select it, and invoke the script. With just a couple keystrokes, you've got a perfectly formatted fraction.
As for the PDF tables, I'd try exporting the host file to RTF and copy/pasting from there. In case you're unaware, to paste values into InDesign table cells, the number of (pre-existing), cells/rows/columns in InDesign must match those copied (from) exactly, and must be pre-selected when the Paste command is executed. So...
1. Set up empty destination table in InDesign which matches the source structure.
2. Select source cells and Copy.
3. In Indesign, select exact same (x, y, qty), range of destination cells and Paste.

How do I create foreign language (Spanish) characters within PS CC??

I must be missing something obvious, but I cannot figure out how to create Spanish characters (like the N with curly on top). I have scoured help sites, but most references relate to InDesign, not Photoshop.

How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for print that easily converts to epub?

How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for a print book that easily converts to epub?
Can anyone point me to a link for a step-by-step (not a video) on setting up all the elements of a print book properly (pages, table of contents and index) so they will convert and reflow perfectly from print to epub in InDesign CS6. This is not about building an ebook from ground up, but taking 50 backlisted print books (converted from old versions of Quark to InDesign) that now need to be converted to epub formats.
OR could someone point me to the link in the Adobe InDesign CS6 support that explains how to create a Table of Contents for a print book (5.5" x 8.5", 288 pages), one that will convert when the file is converted to ePub (for MAC OSX)?
Just downloaded the 706 page inDesign CS6 reference manual from Adobe <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> but there's not even a search feature on the pdf file.
Up until this week, we have only done print books, creating the TOC the old fashioned way, as a fixed page, comprised of two columns: page numbers and chapters/subject. The files I have created are taken by our printer and printed beautifully.
However, when I convert the same book to epub in CS6, the character and paragraph styles converted beautifully - but everything else is all over the place! The table of contents is on different pages, the columns split apart. That goes for the page contents as well - everything is all over the place. when it's converted to a pdf -- total perfection. Never any problems converting with perfection to pdf format and reading those on the various readers.
(Thank you so much in advance for any help).

<http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> Adobe Digital Reader does have a search feature for reading pdfs. Found the TOC instructions on page 176 of 706 pages.

How do I create a bootable snapshot image of Lion?

How do I create a bootable snapshot image of Lion? In the past, I used disk utilities - restore to create a copy of current hard drive on an external drive. If there was a problem, kids could boot to external and work until internal drive was fixed. This proved to be a great solution. On a new Macbook Pro with Lion, I get an error when I try. It says to do a restore from the recovery disk, but the recovery disk says it is a limited function OSX. I would like a full OSX so they can continue to work and even copy files over if the internal disk is suffering intermittent failures enough not to boot but not enough to keep from copying files. A few years ago one of the kids had a disk/boot failure duing finals but was able to boot from the external hard drive, copy over what he needed and access the internet so that he could finish the exams. Time machine is great, but there are instances where you need a quick fix to keep going until the new hard drive arrives.

I do not run Windows, so I have no idea how to handle that type of situation.
But, just to be clear: disregarding Windows, the recovery option downloads the OS and installs it. Technically, that is not a clone unless you copy the installer and create a bootable OS with it. A clone is an exact copy of your system including all your apps, user settings, files, etc, etc and will exist on an external hard drive in addition to your system on your internal - that is done with CCC or SuperDuper.
And, a GUID partition is created in Disk Utility > click on the drive > choose Partition > choose a layout other than what you now have > there will be a clickable Options button below. Click on that and you can choose GUID. Note: partitioning your drive will erase everything on it.

How do I create overlapping tables in Numbers?

I've been fighting with numbers and so far I've found the users guide and help more frustrating than useful. After much searching, I found out that numbers apparently can't do what I wanted to do (dynamically create the entries in a popup from data on a table. I *DO NOT* want to edit the popup items directly).
So I went hunting for a second choice...which I found an acceptable solution, except there are a few critical details missing. The discussion had this bit in it below. My question is, how do I create this locked table underneath another cell? I've been unable to find anything searching via google, in numbers help, or the numbers users guide and I'm beyond frustrated right now. I need step by step instructions and please don't assume I know anything about numbers.
"The trick is to have a locked table underneath the input cell. The formula will be in the locked table and the input cell will have a transparent Fill so you can see the underlying table content."

Starting point: A single sheet document with one table. For simplicity, I'll assume the one table is the one inserted on the original sheet, and has not been resized or otherwise reformatted.
• Insert a second table (Table 2"). Choose Plain as the type. (ie. No header rows, No header columns)
     - Use the Column and Row Handle (bottom right corner of the table); drag it up and left to reduce the table to a single cell.
• Edit the contents of this cell to contain the formula you wish.
• Click on the Table 2 icon in the Sheets list at the left to Select Table 2. You will see square handles at the corners (and in the center of the top and bottom edges) of Table 2.
* Drag Table 2 (the table itself, not the icon) into position in front of Table 1 (the original table). If necessary, use the arrow keys to nudge it into position.
• Go to the Arrange menu and choose Lock. The square handles will change to grey x characters, indicating the selected object is locked.
• Click on the Table 1 icon to select Table 1.
• Go Arrange > Bring to Front. Table 2 and its content will disappear behind Table 1.
• Open the Inspector and choose the Table inspector. Find the Cell Background section, and click the Color Well below the popup menu (which should say "Color Fill").
• The Color Picker will open. Move the Opacity slider to the left end of the bar (0). The content of Table 2 will become visible again.
• To hide the contents of Table 2 when an entry is made in the cell in front of it, you will need either:
       a formula in the Table 2 cell that changes its value to "" (a null string) when the cell in front is not empty, or
       a conditional formatting rule that places an opaque white fill in the front cell when it is not empty.
The formula or the conditional rule will depend on the possible values to be placed in the front cell.

I have a WD 2 tb hard drive that I want to use to back up my Mac Pro quad core. How do I create a back up startup disk? Also, when I used Time macine, it only backed up users and not the system or library folders. Ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html

How do I create a Mountain Lion USB bootable disc with Windows 7?

Hi all. Long story short, my 11-month-old MacBook Pro suffered a failed hard drive the other day. Took it to the Genius Bar and they offered to replace it for free under warranty, but won't give me back the old drive so that I can take it to a data recovery specialist and retrieve my files. I'm considering just purchasing a new SSD myself and installing that so that I can keep the old drive and take it in for data recovery. But how do I create a boot disk on my Windows 7 machine? I was fortunate enough to back up the dmg for 10.8.4, but I don't know what to do with it! I have a 15GB flash drive already, just need to know how to go about it so I can install a fresh OS on the new hard drive.
Thanks!

Instead of trying to burn Mountain Lion on Windows, Mid 2010 and newer MacBooks Pro have Internet Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 This allows you to reinstall OS X even if your hard drive has nothing.
Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting and you will be asked for a network. Then, follow the steps to reinstall OS X. You may have to format the hard drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

How do you create pdfs in CS5?

My ad department currently uses CS4 along with QuarkXpress. I create pdfs in Quark by using Distiller, converting postscript files to pdfs. However in CS4, If you upgrade Acrobat 9 you will lose the Distiller function. Does CS5 Acrobat X Pro for mac have Distiller? I've searched around this website and it looks like it's provided for PC. Will I be able to use it for a mac? If not how do I create a pdf in CS5? Will there be an Acrobat printer driver? I liked how in Distiller you can set up different printer settings such as how good the resolution would be for a pdf. I'd like to get an answer before purchasing this product and installing it.

There are beoming more and more reasons to stop using a distilled postscript workflow and Apple inadvertantly negated the abilty with Snow Leopard. (You know that the print industry is evolving. Your clients are going to expect pdf files with live links, bookmarks, interactive elements; all features lost in distilling.) The "we've done it this way for years" attitude needs to be rethought. If you're print vendor dictates distilling postscript files, they haven't updated either their equipment or their webpage for a decade or both!
On a PC, you will not lose the ability to create and distill postscript files with any update, and to my knowledge, AA 9 (no longer available) does not hinder the ability on Mac, but rather an update to OSX 10.6 does.
Your mention of CS4; is that in reference to the Adobe Creative Suite, or a stand alone product - Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop. All Adobe products create pdf native from the application. If your daily version of Quark does not offer the same ability, you need to keep current and update or stray in the past.

How do i create a group email?

How can I create a group email?

The native mail app in iOS does not support group emailing directly. You have a couple of options:
Search the app store for an app that does. there are a few.
Create a contact with multiple email addresses in the same email field (separate with semicolons). There is a limit on the number of characters the field will contain, and how many addresses this will work on don't recall exactly what that limit is, however). #1 is probably your best bet.

How do I create a service mark in Dreamweaver?

I need to create a service mark in Dreamweaver. I checked the
knowledgebase and character maps; I could only find copyright, TM,

If there isn't a keyboard shortcut, how do you create
superscript in Dreamweaver? I tried the <sup> tag, which is
used for the aforementioned characters.
Any suggestions? Tips? Tricks? :^))

How do i create o new style in ppages?

I would like to have a list style that adds no extra space after the line feed and another list style that adds 1/2 line after the line feed.
How do I create these new styles in Pages?
thanks in advance,
Ed

We no longer have line feeds because we know longer have fixed line lengths. That is why it is called a text string and it just wraps to fit.
Your model was back when the text was monospaced and there were 80 green characters per line on a black screen. I sure hope nobody is using ANSI anymore.
Irregardless of the ancient history, you are talking about paragraph returns, not line feeds, because that is the only place space after applies.
I don't have an iPad, which should be in a separate forum, but assume it all just is applied via paragraph styles wherever they may be.
