How do I make just a section of a photo opaque in Pages? So that I an read the text I'm placing over it.

If you're asking about Pages for iOS (this forum is for iWork for iOS), I don't see an option to make part of an image transparent.
If you're asking about Pages for your Mac, you can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent. There is a separate forum for Pages on the Mac here.

How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.
What version of Pages are you using?
In Pages 5 this is:
Format > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page > Size > Original size

How to print out just a section of a map or illustration

Mapmakers, how can I target just a section of a larger map to print out or save separately? I'd like to put just a smaller section of a 28" x 28" map as a sample on the web. I know there is a tool for this but I can't find it.

when you do the export, in the window where you select a destination, at the bottom you'll see an option for "Use Artboards" select the radio button for that, and then you'll have the option to enter the artboard number you want exported.

When I open Firefox, 8 tabs automatically appear. How do I make just the homepage tab appear on startup?

When I open Firefox for the first time, 8 tabs always appear. Not only the homepage tab but 7 other tabs (mainly from add-ons I have installed). How do I make just the homepage tab appear on start-up?

Hi,
Please try removing the homepage entries in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''General''' > '''Home Page:'''. For some add-ons, you may have to go into their settings.

How do I make a submit button work on a mobile oriented page?

How do I make a submit button work on a mobile oriented page? I have the .html file and the .data file (and one other kind), but it just spins and spins and spins when I try to send the form in (for an absence). I'd like it to work on all devices. Help?

HTML forms don't do anything. You need a form processing script to gather and process form data. Which server-side scripts does your web hosting plan support -- php, asp, asp.net, perl? This will determine which scripts you can use with your form.

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

If you make a call then tap the Facetime button to connect Facetime, the duration of call up to Facetime connection will be charged under your regular airtime. However, duration during facetime conversation will not consume airtime.
But if you tap the Facetime button on the Contact Page, then the whole duration will not consume airtime.
For Facetime to work, both parties must be connected to wifi.

How do I make categories under My Templates, as is done in page layout and word-processing?

How do I make categories under My Templates, as is done in page layout and word-processing? I have over 50 of my own templates and want to categorize them. For example: son's homework, business, etc. Thanks

Here are some screenshots of my organization. Your sub-folders need to be in the same folder as My Templates, NOT in My Templates which is confusing.

Hey mims1212,
Thanks for the question. You can configure what address you start new conversations from on both devices:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Please note that this will only work for new conversations, and will also be affected if another iMessage user starts a conversation with you (ex. if a friend sent you a message to your phone number, you will still receive that on your Mac, and you will be replying from your phone number).
Thanks,
Matt M.

IOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text. How can I change it in mail and messages?

HI,
iOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text. I know I can't change it in mail and messages, but Apple really needs to allow some customization. This is really difficult to read for older eyes.

yeah I agree with all you guys statements, the color scheme on IOS 7 *****,
I am having to constantly turn on off on off on off "invert color" mode just to switch between
the home screen, typing, and reading text messages, its an absolute pain!!
I never had any of this trouble in IOS 6.
What they SHOULD do, is make 2 different color schemes
one LIGHT color scheme,
and one DARK color scheme, for those using "invert colors" frequently.
See, what Apple doesn't seem to understand is, when you turn on "invert colors",
the lock screen turns bright WHITE, so you have to turn invert colors OFF just to read the lock screen,
then back ON when you want to type an email, read a text message, etc etc, then turn it off again when
you want to play a game.
and see, after awhile, when you switch invert colors on off on off after so many times, it drains on the devices resources, & you have to reboot the device to get accessibility options working again. I have to reboot the device several times a day now just because of that, when its just a simple fix of adding a darker color scheme as a 2nd or alternative option.
I mean, even as a normal sighted person, turning on invert colors is annoying when your at the lock screen or playing a game, think about those of us who depend upon it just to read text on the screen.. VoiceOver has the smilar issues when you have to turn it off on off on all the time it drains the system resources of the phone also,
so I agree completely...
but ya know, they don't listen to us... cuz its an option they don't use, so they don't understand... If they used that option for even 5 seconds, they'd understand what we're talking about.... What Apple should do is hire one of us as a beta tester to help them test out these types of issues, from one of us like myself who knows a thinkg or two about accessibility options of the phone.
I've been an Apple idevice fan for years, but, IOS 7 was a major disappointment in the accessibility arena..
kind regards,
Tom

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.
