How to put simple labels on pictures

I want to simply label a photo with street names.
In my humble opinion, this is something that Mac ought to be able to handle.
I am not a graphic design expert and I do not expect to have to learn a lot of graphic design stuff to do that.
Pages does not allow text to be rotated over a picture. If it is not horizontal, it cannot be done within Pages (ie not like WordArt in Office).
So, I purchased Art Text 2, which lets me create words which can be tilted etc. Then I copy and paste into my Pages doc. I make the photo inline, and then I make the word graphic floating and so that it does not cause wrap. It is there on my screen, but the instant I select it, it literally disappears. Nothing will get it to come back. Even making invisible objects visible.
Nothing works - I have tried all the things. I have tried making the photo background - I have tried making the photo floating. But the problem of the disappearning Art Text object still happens.
Does anyone know how to do what I am trying to do? Sometimes the road is tilted on the page, and I simply want the words to be able to follow the tilt. Surely there must be a way to do something so simple using Macs - which are supposed to be the gear of choice for graphic design. I am not talking high end photoshop manipulation here - just something really basic.

It sounds to me like another object is wrapping and pushing the image away, but it is hard to tell without seeing your file.
You do really need to download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu and look up some of the things you want to do. Also just have a look around the well organised menus and Inspectors to see what is there.
You are assuming the absence of things without looking in the obvious places.

How to put current music and pictures from my Iphone to a new Ipad?

Hi this is my first question!
I am about to recieve a new iPad mini. I currently have an iPhone 4s and I want to transfer all my pictures and music over to the new device. I have just backed up my phone so that all latest files are on my PC. I have tried iCloud but this is out because my internet is too rubish.
So what should I do?
1. if i set the iPad up using the iTunes backup, everything will go on to the iPad that I have on the phone including the apps, which im not bothered about because I will be using less apps than before.
2. If I set it up as a new iPad, can I connect it to my PC and get my music and pictures/videos over to the device without everything else.
I know this sounds confusing but I don't know what to do, I asked in the Apple store and they didn't seem to know either,
cheers, David

You can restore the iPhone's backup onto the iPad, but that won't include the contents of the Music app nor the photos if they were originally synced from a computer (if they were taken with the phone they should be included) - restoring a backup onto a diferrent device also won't copy passwords (router, email, website) so you will need to re-enter them on the iPad. You can copy your iTunes purchases (including apps and music) from the iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) - if you do decide t backup/restore then you will need all of the iPhone's apps on your computer's iTunes as the backup only contains their content and settings, and not the apps themselves.
If you set it up as a new iPad then as long as the music and apps are on your computer's iTunes then you can sync them over to it. iTunes will remember you sync preferences for each device, so you can sync more than one device to it without them affecting each other.
You can copy the photos and videos that you've take with the phone to your computer : photos to a computer.
And you can then sync them to the iPad : syncing photos.

Problem of putting the label in the middle.

I am having a problem of putting the label in the middle.
below are my codes.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class glay1 extends Applet{
public void init(){
Button button1;
TextField textfield1;
button1 = new Button("Set fuel Price(p)");
textfield1 = new TextField(" ");
Label label1, label2, label3, label4;
label1 = new Label("pump1", Label.CENTER);
label1.setBackground(Color.white);
label2 = new Label("pump2", Label.CENTER);
label2.setBackground(Color.white);
label3 = new Label("pump3", Label.CENTER);
label3.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
label4 = new Label("pump4", Label.CENTER);
label4.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
Panel pc = new Panel();
Panel ps = new Panel();
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setBackground(Color.black);
pc.setLayout(new GridLayout(2,2,220,50));
pc.add(label1);
pc.add(label2);
pc.add(label3);
pc.add(label4);
ps.add(button1);
ps.add(textfield1);
add("South", ps);
add("Center", pc);
My problem is the label all are put on each corner.
How to put the label to the middle?
but I don't want the label to join one another,
just put them more to the middle only.

btw, I haven't actually used GridLayout myself but wouldn't it work for you to use the methods setHgap(int hgap) and setVgap(int vgap)?
With GridBagLayout you can add components of varying sizes and you can easily position them on the grid. Look at this example, adding components to a JPanel called resultsPanel:
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,0,0,1,1,5,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,0,1,1,1,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,resultFileLabel,c,gridbag,1,1,1,1,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,2,1,1,1,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,loadResultFileButton,c,gridbag,3,1,0,0,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,4,1,1,1,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,0,2,1,1,5,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,0,3,1,1,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,linkerFileLabel,c,gridbag,1,3,1,1,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,2,3,1,1,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,linkerButton,c,gridbag,3,3,0,0,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,4,3,1,1,1,1);
          FrameTools.addComponent(resultsPanel,new JLabel(" "),c,gridbag,0,4,1,1,5,1);
               The addComponent(...) method looks like this:
     public static void addComponent(Container target, JComponent comp, GridBagConstraints c, GridBagLayout g, int x, int y, int wx, int wy, int w, int h)
              c.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
              c.gridx = x;
              c.gridy = y;
              c.weightx = wx;
              c.weighty = wy;
              c.gridwidth = w;
              c.gridheight = h;
              g.setConstraints(comp, c);
              target.add(comp);
     }     x and y specifies the position of the component and w and h the size of it. But really, read the tutorials!

How to put a startup picture in a java program?

Hi there,
I'm extremely new in Java programming and have a very weak knowledge in C programming. I managed to download a Java source file from the internet which I need to use for my school's project. I was wondering would it be possible for me to put a start up picture or video clip before the program runs? And if so, how do I go about doing it? Thanks in advance.
LostInJava

Requires the latest Java version, Java 6.And there are fairly simple ways to program your own splash screens in earlier versions.

and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

How to put all pictures in a document in one layer

OK, I have a huge document on 1730 pages and all text and pictures are in the same layer.
How can I mark all the pictures and put them all in one (other) layer, without doing it manually, page by page?
(maybe using Find/change - Object?)
Can anyone help me?

This will select all your linked files in the active document and embed them:
* a slight modification *
for(i = app.activeDocument.placedItems.length - 1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
app.activeDocument.placedItems[i].selected = true;
app.activeDocument.placedItems[i].embed();

How do I put a label in a null field in the result set of a group-by query

I run the query:
select section, count(*) from nparcel group by section
and get the result
section1 100
section2 200
section3 300
400
I would like to modify the query to put a label, perhaps 'BLANK', in the last returned row. Is that possible and if so how.
Thanks in advance for helping.

Hi,
In SQL*Plus you have some additional options, that apply to all queries until you override them or end the session.
COLUMN section NULL BLANKapplies only to the column called "section".
SET NULL BLANKApplies to all columns.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

how to put a pict
ure you have in your computer as a screen saver

The following are the basic steps to use your pictures for the OS X screensaver. Start by placing your pictures in either the Pictures or another folder of your choosing. I am going to assume that you will place them in the OS X Pictures folder.
Control or Right-click on the OS X Desktop, and then, choose "Change Desktop Background."
Select the Screen Saver tab.
Click on the plus button.
Select Add Folder of Pictures, and then, choose the Pictures folder.
