How do I make a paper book?

I am trying to make, design, construct a book for my 2 year old grandson, TITLED "Gavin's
Great Adventure". I want to place text and pictures (from Dropbox) on back-to-back pages. I would like to use"card stock" paper which is easier for little fingers. I would like the page size to be half of a LETTER 8 1/2" x 11" sheet. I wonder if I can arrange two pages on 1 image. I wish to print it on my printer, but probably will have it bound professionally. ID was recommended by an employee of Kinko's. I purchased an older version, CS6, for my "older word program. I can not find step-by-step instructions to complete this task. PLEASE HELP THIS GRANDMOTHER GIVE HER GRANDSON THE GIFT OF A PAPER BOOK.

The short answer is you should set up a document as "Facing Pages" with a page size of 5.5 x 8.5 and with reasonable margins and some multiple of 4 pages, but the longer answer is you are probably in way over your head. InDesign is a professional layout application and it has a pretty steep learning curve. You might be able to muddle through with the help of Sandee Cohen's book, Visual QuickStart Guide for InDesign, or by doing some online training at lynda.com, but unless you have prior experience in the layout field I wouldn't count on making this a Christmas gift unless you get some help from someone who knows what they are doing.

How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages) with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

How can I make my Mac Book Pro print to a Panasonic KX-MB772?

How can I make my Mac Book Pro OSX 6.8 talk to a Panasonic KX-MB772 printer?

You can't. The KX-MB722 is one of the few remaining printers in the class of devices called "Windows Printers" that has no on-board printing software -- it relies on a host computer to provide all of the software functionality and Panasonic only provides such software for certain versions of Microsoft Windows. In this case, it means a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows (2000-XP, though it will probably reliably on Windows versions up to 7). Note that these devices are not guaranteed compatible with future versions of Windows either (Panasonic has already dropped software support for this model).
I'm pretty sure that the device doesn't support remote printing without the software either (e.g., you can't setup a computer with Windows on it, share the printer, and then print to the shared printer without their software).

How do I make a photo book with low grade pics from iphones?

Hello,
Can Anyone give me some help I am trying to make a photo book with low grade photos from iphones.
Thank you!

What exactly is your question?
If you have low resolution photos then they will have to be printed smaller and the quality not be as good as if you had better photos - there is no way to make a poor photo better
And in general iPhone photos are not low resolution - what are the pixel dimensions of the photos? What size photos are you trying to print?

How can I make an E-Book using InDesign?

I initally assembled an ebook using Microsoft Word and uploaded the file to BookBaby along with the cover design as a separate image file. The E-book is a relatively simply layout, 100 color cartoons and a text "forward" on first page. However, BookBaby said NOT....I needed to resend the book in a "fixed format". Thus my decision to use InDesign. However, since I've never used InDesign for any work like this I am curious if anyone can help or at the very least, recommend decent links at how I could initially begin to restructure my entire book? As mentioned, it's a relatively simple layout from an asthetics standpoint - - 100 separate cartoons in full color that are 700 pixels wide in JPEG format. Then the "forward" and that full color cover with text already in the image for embedding as the cover design.
Any insights, thoughts, feedback and / or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Normally a paid-for book from the iBookstore can only be read on an Apple device, it tells you that in the requirements section of the purchase page.

How Do I Make Import Address Book Archive Work Properly?

I have several address books archived. I have one for Christmas cards, I have another for my neighborhood watch program and others that I use at various times. Some of the archives were made using Tiger and some I have created in Leopard. When I Export an Address Book Archive it does so without a problem. When I Import one of my Address Book Archives, to replace whatever address book is currently located in Address Book, the import does not work. Once I try to import, I must quit Address Book then reopen it and I still have the Address Book resident that I was trying to replace. The only way I have found to replace the resident address book is to first archive the current book for the sake of having it backed up, then delete all the names in the book by selecting all then deleting by hitting the delete key or by selecting Delete Cards using the Menu. After the names are deleted, then Importing an archive works fine.
Is anyone else having this problem or possibly have a solution to making Address Book work properly without having to delete all the current names before Importing an archive?
Information: I have deleted the Address Book Folder located within the Home/Library/Application Support folders and rebuilt it under Leopard OS and then pasted the names that were resident before deleting the folders. So far, I still cannot get the Import Address Book Archive function to work properly. Thanks in advance for any helpful information or hints.

Ok! Hmm... I indeed have tried to import an archive, did get the message, replaced all and had it working fine for me so it should for you I would think.
Have you tried to log in your computer as a different user, launch AB and try to toggle back and forth between archives to see if you experience the same issue? If not, then it is a user specific issue, if yes, then it may be more a case of app/system issue.
If you are able to overwrite in AB under a different user, then I would suggest you log in back to your main user and repair permissions (applications/utilities/disk utility repair permissions.
As for your use of AB and different archives, I am sure no one is bothered by that. We are all users here trying to learn and/or help others. I would only point out that if you cannot find a solution to your problem, you may want to consider working with AB in a different manner than you have in the past and by your description of usage groups and smart groups will more than handle your contacts while avoiding mixing apples and doughnuts - but I am sure you have thought of that already !!
hope this helps

How can I make my mac book keyboard works with the Portuguese graphics accentuation, like ~`^...

I am a new user and just bought my Mac Book. I have tried to type the texts in Portuguese using the graphics accentuation, but it is not working. I have already choiced the Portuguese language in the keyboard set up, but when I type the graphics before the letters in the text, they don`t go to the top of the letters, as it sould go. They appear before the letter, as another letter. Is there anything else that I should to set up to have the accentuation working correctly?

If you have ever had any personal files on the iMac which you would rather not share with anyone, you should use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive using the option to write zeroes. Overwriting the files is the only way to ensure that they can't be recovered at a later date.
After that is complete, use the restore discs that came with your iMac to reinstall all of the original software (including AppleWorks). Then use the Tiger install disc to upgrade it to Tiger.

HT3576 How do I make my fave book notifications have sound?

I can't seem to make my Facebook notifications to have sound way before even iOS 7? Can we fix this?

The way I do it is to have overlays turned on in the timeline (button in the lower left corner of timeline window). Then I use the pen tool to set the point at which I want the audio to begin to fade and then set the end of the fade. The grab the overlay line in the audio track or the end point of the fade and drag it as low as you want the fade to sound.
Hope that is clear.

Connect 2 iPhones with 2 different apple ids to the macbook for updates and backup through iTunes match and iCloud. How can i make that happen?

We have a mac book pro and 2 i phones 4S. We both have different Apple Id's. But we would like to connect both phones to the mac book in order to update photos and itunes match. I subscribed with my apple id to itunes match and it automatically updates apps, music, books etc. However the apple id of my husbands phone is not recognized so his music, apps etc are not automatically updated. The same happens with icloud.
How can we make the mac book recognize both phones?

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
