How does one overlap text and images

I have the text box and the image on the Pages doc and when I move either to overlap the other, the one not selected "darts" away

Select the image.
If it is an inline object, change it to Floating.
Click the Wrap button and select 'none'.
Place the image where you want it.
Select the text box.
Resize it to a close fit around the text.
Drag it to the image.
   If the text slides behind the image:
   with the text box still selected,
   go Arrange > Move forward
   repeat until the text is visible in front of the image.
Adjust the placement as necessary.
Change the text colour as needed.
Select both the text box and the image.
Go Arrange > Group to join the two objects in a single group.
Regards,
Barry

How does one crop an .ai image to a defined shape?

How does one crop an .ai image to a defined shape?
In other words, I want to select and crop from a larger image an area such as a rectangle that I define.
Right now, I try to select and crop a rectangular portion of an image but every shape that is even partially within the rectangle is selected both within and without the rectangle.
I am using CS2 on a Mac.

Clifford,
I've figured out part 1, how to crop an image using a rectangle on another layer.
Then I did:
To really get rid of the outlying parts, with the Clipping Mask still
selected you may:
5) Choose anything but Normal in the Transparency palette dropdown
and Object>Flatten Transparency (just keep the defaults).
The result was "Filter cannot complete because of unknown error" FSpt
Is this a bug, or is their a problem with the way I am following your
method?
It is hard to say.
It is more convenient to place the rectangle mentioned in 1) on the same layer; if you place the path(s) to define the Clipping Mask, the Clipping Mask and its contents will be on that layer, everything from lower layers being moved to it.
What about 2) - 4)?
It is easier to answer if you state what happens in the individual steps (repeated here):
1) Create a rectangle on top of the image with the same size (you may use the Transform palette/panel to see the size, and to place it by);
2) Create the cutout shape;
3) Select 1) and 2) and Object>Compound Path>Make;
4) Also select the image, and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
To really get rid of the outlying parts, with the Clipping Mask still selected you may:
5) Choose anything but Normal in the Transparency palette dropdown and Object>Flatten Transparency (just keep the defaults).

HT1338 How does one uninstall Garageband and other things?

How does one uninstall Garageband and other things on the Macbook air?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

How do I combine text and image on same screen?

How do I comgine text and an image on the same screen in Final Cut Express 4. I have had to use scrolling text and then import a graphic. I want the text and graphic on the same page. Thanks .

Place your video clip (or still image clip) on track v1. Then place your text clip immediately above it on track v2. The text will overlay the image. (Note: it doesn't necessarily have to be v1 & v2 - what's important is that the text clip be on a video track higher than the video clip/image clip.)
Generally best to use white text, sans-serif font, larger than you might think you initially wanted.

How does one put text on the spine?

I'm a little confused about the difference between the version I'm creating and the template I start with. I start with a template, then resize and mess with the arrangement of the pictures. I move text boxes. All seems okay.
I put a colored background on the front and back cover (by inserting a specially made pdf from Pages, a gradient color). The back spine remains white, and blank. How can I add text to the spine? And is there a way to have the color from the background bleed over the spine?
Ben

I certainly don't know how it was constructed, but I suppose the form was intended for people that use Word. If you were using Word, you would just select the "insert" key (or something - I forget) and type away. The text would type above the line. I thought maybe there was something like that in Pages. I find myself getting very frustrated using Pages and Numbers. They really aren't that easy to use. Word and Excel have them beat.

How does one add hyperlinks to images in Mail signatures?

How does one highlight Text in Imail messages

I understand how one uses the "Fonts" of "Colors" Icon on the message dialog box to change the font color of selected text in a message so it stands out, but have NOT FIGURED OUT how one can instead (or in addition) "highlight" the text. By that I mean coloring the background of the selected text (as opposed to changing the background color of the whole document, or changing the color of the letters themselves). Is there a way to do that in imail, and if so, how?

Is there a way to do that in imail, and if so, how?
Not in Leopard Mail, as far as I can tell. In Tiger you could color just a selected portion of a text background, but this feature seems to have disappeared for some reason in 10.5. You can ask Apple to put it back via the feedback link:

How does one update iOS and what is iOS.. Thank you..

how do you update iOS. And what is that anyway. I had to update FaceTime in order to use it and now I cannot send any pictures from ipad camera. Thanks for any help..

"iOS" is the operating system on handheld Apple devices.
You can either update your device wirelessly from Settings > General > Software update or by connecting to a computer using iTunes. Make a backup to iCloud or iTunes before you do any update, so you can restore it, if something should go wrong. Also, make sure it is connected to a power source, if you update wirelessly.
Details are explained in this document:

How does one combine PAL and NTSC sequences to get a final exported QT movie?

I want to combine PAL footage and NTSC footage, shot on different cameras.
I found that I can create a PAL sequence by dragging a PAL clip to the "new sequence" icon.
BUt then, if I make two sequences, one in NTSC format, and the other in PAL format, can the¥ be exported as a single QT movie, ? or m2v ? or Mp4?

One generally doesn't. One shoots PAL for PAL delivery and ATSC for ATSC delivery, never the two shall meet

How does one change their podcast image?

I've found similar inquiries, but none with answers.
Assistance is greatly appreciated.

If you mean the image that appears with the podcast (in iTunes for example), the way I did it was to upload the new image to the source of the feed (my website), and to add the image to the tune when I exported it from Garageband into iTunes.
To do that, I highlight the tune (the podcast soundtrack) and press Command + i and in the panel that appears, use the"Artwork" section.
I did not need to change the code in the XML feed to recognise the new image as I used the same file name.

How Does One Open Components, and See What's Inside?

There are a few components I would like to see the contents of; but, not being a programmer, I would like to read their contents in plain English. Are there any programs that can do this? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, BDAqua.
I'm looking to open components, such as the 'Buffer' in Intego's NetBarrier. The key here is that I'm trying to find a program that'll translate 'code' into plain English; I used to have such a program for OS9.

In the new Keynote how does one find the Wrap Inspector to wrap text around a photo??? Thanks

In the new keynote, the help section refers to the Wrap Inspector. How does one find that or how does one wrap text around a photo?? Thanks

You can also use the shape tool to draw a shape roughly following the outline of the graphic you want to wrap text around, change the fill and stroke to "none", then paste your text within the shape. It's a few more steps, but it opens you up to many creative alternative layouts.
