How on earth can I just make a form that people can sign??

What I am trying to do is create a contract that people can fill out by simply clicking on text boxes and then typing in their pertaining text then at the bottom there will be a signature box which they should be able to click and then have the option to draw their signature. No digital id crap, no certificates. just a simple drawn signature.
So I started with a word document. Coverted it to PDF. I have acrobat 11, I used the form wizard and let adobe find specific fields. Edited the fields to my likeing to include on signature box and then saved the document. Took FOREVER to find out I had to go through a special process of saving to allow others to sign. So I go to File- save as other...- reader extended pdf...- enable more tools <-- that allows me to allow them to sign it.
Now when I open my document with reader it has the draw your signature greyed out!!! WTH!! I need help to give that option cause this is going to old people and they can't understand the digital signature long process.
Windows 7-64

The behavior you're seeing with Reader 11 and an enabled document is normal.
You say you also tried with a version that's a "regular Save", which I assume is a non-enabled version that has no digital signature fields. In this case you should be able to select any of the options except for "Use a certificate" when using Reader. I just tested Reader 11.0.5 on a Windows machine with a non-enabled form that didn't include any digital signature fields, and it behaved as I expected, allowing me to use a hand-drawn signature. What does this show (in Reader, not Acrobat) when you select: File > Properties > Security
A screen shot would be nice.
In case you weren't aware, when a form is e-signed this way, the form fields are flattened when the document is saved, so any forms you receive back from users won't contain form fields, making it difficult to extract the data if you need to.

Photos/Fotos: One of the most important selection features the is "Star" rating. How on earth can you stop supporting this feature ???

One of the most important selection features the is "Star" rating.
How on earth can Apple stop supporting this feature ???
My iPhoto lib contains >100´000 photos. All of them are rated with stars. Dependent on the rating I distribute the photos on >20 apple devices in our family.
Many friends of mine do the same.
It´s time for a severe request to Apple to take over that feature from iPhoto to Photos. They should start to learn, that people that liked their previously released software have spent hundreds of hours to adapt their data with that software to their needs. I´m using Mac´s since 1984. Might be that I start thinking about using different systems if they continue to through away my efforts from the past...
If you dislike Apples latest moves and like this feature too you need to provide feedback to them on the following web page: www.apple.com/feedback

Remember that star ratings are not part of standard metadata.

Numbers will do the calculations, but it doesn't read minds.
The formulas shown in my previous post assume a table arranged like the example below:
The results in the bottom three rows (Apr, May and Jun) are correct for the simple formulas given and for the data entered in the Amount column as the empty cells are evaluated as containing zero. In practice, you would want a formula that suppressed the calculation until something was entered in that row of the Amount column. That's easy enough to add, should you think doing so will be useful.
But it won't make Numbers read your mind.

How do you put an iCloud calendar online so that people can see it like you can a Google calendar?

I manage the calendar solution for the school I work at. We all, teachers and students, will get iPads about a month from now, and I'm trying to set up calendars for when those show up. Since every person has different needs, I'm in the process of creating a different calendar for each discrete activity, and the people in charge of the activities will have access to edit the events on those calendars. Our website has links for students to subscribe to calendars that relate to the events they are involved in, which is good, but I also need all the events to be visible on a calendar so that people outside the school can see what is going on without subscribing to every single calendar. I tried using Google calendar, but they are pretty rubbish when it comes to syncing with Apple's calendars on iCloud. While iCloud does a good job of reading calendars hosted on Google, I really need the calendars to be hosted on iCloud so that teachers can share authoring privileges on their iPads. Initially I couldn't even get Google calendar to read my calendars, and had to use this website to even get my calendars into Google calendar in the first place. Now that it's connected, the Google calendar won't update the school calendars when I update them, leading to an outdated calendar showing up on the website. The whole point of putting calendars online is that we have seamless instant communication, and Google's bungling it up.
In short, is there another website I could use to display my calendars from iCloud Calendar in an iframe on the school's website?
You can take a look at the Google calendar embedded on the website here.
The subscriptions to the iCloud calendars can be found here.
Please help.

Ah, I see what you mean. My apologies for the RTFM response without testing it myself first.
I think iCloud shares calendars using the CalDAV standard. This means that you'll have to open the link using a client that can understand this. I just tested it with Novell GroupWise at work and it worked fine. I suspect it might also work with Outlook. I tried to add the calendar in Google Calendar by clicking under Other Calendars, Add by URL, but that did not work, so Google Calendar may not be a CalDAV client. For more information see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CalDAV
http://wiki.davical.org/w/CalDAV_Clients
http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html
If anyone is aware of a website that allows you to see public CalDAV calendars, please let us know. That would be useful information. I tried briefly looking at http://www.icalshare.com, since that site seems to be somehow related to how Apple shares the public calendars, but I was not able to figure out how to view my public calendar there. I think perhaps you need to create an account there and then it might let you. But even then the views they have of public calendars at that site at static views updated once per day. For a live view of the calendar you'll still need to use a proper CalDAV client, I think. So, once again, are there any CalDAV web clients?

Can I make a form that could be emailed filled out and returned

I'd like to create a form that I can email my students and that they could fill out and return.
Is there a site or video that could help me learn this?
Perhaps create a template?

Not in Pages, except to create the basic form itself.
The best method is create a pdf form, using Acrobat Pro to fill in the data fields of the form.
The students can use the free Acrobat Reader to fill in the fields, which you can have sent electronically back to you or whatever database you want, or as a simple dumb form that accepts their typing.
To have a quiz style multiple choice document, that even corrects and sums up results use iBooks [free], very similar to Pages, or a dedicated application for this style of work.

How to Enable a Push Button In The Form That Is Always Greyed Out?

Greetings All,
I am trying to enable an existing "Return" Push Button(PB) which is always greyed out whenever the form is called in either an update or review mode. After some research, I found that this PB's functional property is "Enabled" (i.e. the enabled value = 'Yes'), and it is coded programatically set 'Off' in 30 places and 'On' in 2 places in the form that I inherit from my predecessor by using the following code:
SET_ITEM_ON_OR_OFF('BLK_UPDATE.PB_RETURN', <XXXXX>);
Where <XXXXX> could be either TRUE or FALSE. I've been spending a lot of time in trying to enable this "Return" PB (without modifying the existing programming code) by adding the 'SET_ITEM_ON_OR_OFF' built-in command to set the PB on in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED TRIGGER for the PB_RETURN and WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE Trigger, but all tries in vain. Could you please help me with the following question?
What is the easiest way to enable a PB that is set programmatically?
Is there something else I should know to enable a PB, in addition to what I have already mentioned above?
Thanks in advance,
Jinlan

Thanks all for your information and help. I included the following code, as suggested by Manu, in WHEN-MOUSE-DOWN TRIGGER for the PB_RETURN and WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE TRIGGER:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BLK_UPDATE.PB_RETURN_WORK_REQ', ENABLED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
and I made sure there was no " SET_ITEM_ON_OR_OFF('BLK_UPDATE.PB_RETURN_WORK_REQ', FALSE);" statements after the above code, but, the "Return" PB is still in grey; in other words, it is still not accessible when my form is called.
Perhaps, I need to place the above SET_ITEM_PROPERTY code in a different trigger other than the triggers mentioned above, uh? Any thoughts on this?
Manu,
You are absolutely right that the "SET_ITEM_ON_OR_OFF" is an ih-house written procedure which is defined/stored in the Attached Libraries. (I should have checked before making the "built-in" assumption. Thanks for catching and clarifying this.) Please help me with the following questions:
How do I view the procedure in the Attached Libraries???
Thanks in advance,

Vuze toolbar... how on earth can i get rid of it?!

Foolishly clicked on a link to vuze & downloaded & installed it on my macbook. Decided against it incase I picked up viruses so uninstalled it, deleted & emptied the trash with the installer. Now stuck with a stupid vuze toolbar! how can i get rid of it?

No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
It is possible, however, to pass on a Windows virus to another Windows user, for example through an email attachment. To prevent this all you need is the free anti-virus utility ClamXav, which you can download from:
http://www.clamxav.com/
However, the appearance of Trojans and other malware that can possibly infect a Mac seems to be growing, but is a completely different issue to viruses.
If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works here:
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
(Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
A white paper has recently been published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:
http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?mainpage=document_general_info&cPath=11&productsid=174
Also, beware of MacSweeper:
MacSweeper is malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland based computer security software company on January 17, 2008
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacSweeper
On June 23, 2008 this news reached Mac users:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23/mac_trojan/
More information on Mac security can be found here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
The MacScan application can be downloaded from here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
You can download a 30 day trail copy which enables you to do a full scan of your hard disk. After that it costs $29.95.
More on Trojans on the Mac here:
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/63574.html?welcome=1214487119
This was published on July 25, 2008:
Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.
The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.
In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.
Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.
Further details here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7525206.stm
A further development was the Koobface malware that can be picked up from Facebook (already a notorious site for malware, like many other 'social networking' sites), as reported here on December 9, 2008:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technology/newsid_7773000/7773340.stm
You can keep up to date, particularly about malware present in some downloadable pirated software, at the Securemac site:
http://www.securemac.com/
There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac, and alternatives will probably appear in the future. In the meantime the advice is: be careful where you go on the web and what you download!
If you think you may have acquired a Trojan, and you know its name, you can also locate it via the Terminal:
http://theappleblog.com/2009/04/24/mac-botnet-how-to-ensure-you-are-not-part-of- the-problem/
As to the recent 'Conficker furore' affecting Intel-powered computers, MacWorld recently had this to say:
http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=25613
Although any content that you download has the possibility of containing malicious software, practising a bit of care will generally keep you free from the consequences of anything like the DNSChanger trojan.
1. Avoid going to suspect and untrusted Web sites, especially *********** sites.
2. Check out what you are downloading. Mac OS X asks you for you administrator password to install applications for a reason! Only download media and applications from well-known and trusted Web sites. If you think you may have downloaded suspicious files, read the installer packages and make sure they are legit. If you cannot determine if the program you downloaded is infected, do a quick Internet search and see if any other users reported issues after installing a particular program.
3. Use an antivirus program like ClamXav. If you are in the habit of downloading a lot of media and other files, it may be well worth your while to run those files through an AV application.
4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
5. Stop using LimeWire. LimeWire (and other peer-to-peer sharing applications) are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications.
6. Resist the temptation to download pirated software. After the release of iWork '09 earlier this year, a Trojan was discovered circulating in pirated copies of Apple's productivity suite of applications (as well as pirated copies of Adobe's Photoshop CS4). Security professionals now believe that the botnet (from iServices) has become active. Although the potential damage range is projected to be minimal, an estimated 20,000 copies of the Trojan have been downloaded. SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:

HEEELP, how on earth can I see what the content on my Time Capsule??

Hi,
I have recently switched from PC to Apple and bought a MacBook Air and a 2TB Time Capsule (although been using ios for yonks)
I have trawled a gzillion forums trying to find a way to view all my stuff (photos mainly) on the Time Capsule .. but I'm getting nowhere fast!
When I use Finder, I can see the my TC in the 'Shared' section, but when I click through, I keep getting to something called 'SparseBundle' but cant actually see my stuff .. it is driving me nuts!
Does anyone out there know how to solve this problem?
Surely it shouldn't be this hard to do something so simple .. should it?

Time Machine does not store the files in the same format that is used on the actual computer drive.. you cannot just use a photo from TM backup.. and you are likely not to be able to see individual photos in the library at all. The backup has to be restored to an alternative location and then you will need to open the library from there.
See pondini and read about how TM works.
http://pondini.org/TM/Works.html
For the particular issue with iphoto permissions.
http://pondini.org/TM/E9.html
Go to top menu and read though the FAQ and the home page for the first nuts and bolts stuff.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
If you are trying to locate the photo library on the TC it is fraught with danger.. the TC has no internal backup mechanism.. other than a manually started full disk backup to usb drive.. very slow and TC cannot be used while it works.

So bad its comes to this. How on earth can I access the emo site ?

I signed up for digital life in the end of april. I was told I need to sign up online to get my discount.But the site does not work - different issues with different browsers 1. Internal Server Error on IE2. FF, takes me to global logon and then nothing It took me days of calling and just looping back and forth between folks and nothing can be done.they called me to indicate that my account is past due, but when i call in they say - nope we did not call you. Now my account is on hold because I havent paid my bill- kind of a problem, because they wont give me the discount which I was told about and the systems to apply for the discount wont work. My account wont let me login due to another bug:Login -->immediately takes me to a session timeout on all the 3 browsers chrome FF and IE I am tired of this. I talked to the chat people and they sent me to support, several times. I have this feeling of being invisible. I keep talking no one seems to listen....And... I am an employee....

I finally found it. The issue I read about was with tasks
deleting themselves. It applied to MX6, but I do not know if it was
ever fixed in MX7. Here are the links in case it applies to what
you are doing.

How do I create forms that people can complete in more than one sitting i.e. save and submit?

Hi,
I have just bought formscentral and need advice to achieve my objectives:
Required:
Customer can part fill form, save and complete later on and submit for us to capture the data.
Customer can save or can access their completed form, as we need them to print it out, and physically sign a version for us for legal reasons
Several different people within the customer's business need to fill out different areas of the form, so they may need to e-mail the form bwtween each other or each logon and complete their section.
Are the above achievable? If so can I do as a web form or pdf? Are there any settings I need to apply to the form before or during creation? Are there only certain methods of distribution that will work?
Other concerns:
Our end customers are small traders that are not that computer literate and I worry that they won't have the latest adobe reader or the form won't be compatible with their Mac or firewalls etc and will struggle to be able to fill out, save and submit the forms for technical reasons. Are these concerns justified? If so, are there ways to minimise these issues?
Any guidance is much appreciated. The package also mentions it includes one to one support from Adobe - how do I access this support?
Thank you,
Rob

If a requirement is that the form be passed around to several users, I think that the PDF option is your only hope. It will indeed be a problem if users don't have Reader or some other forms-capable PDF viewer. You don't have to do anything special apart from enabling it with FormsCentral. This allows users with Reader versions prior to 11 to save the filled-in form. You'll just have to try to educate the users to use Reader (and NOT to use Preview on a Mac).

How on earth can I just make a form that people can sign??
