How to type an e with an ' over it or an o with two dots of it.

I'm putting a title in my home movie and in the "Staring" portion I have names with an e that is supposed to have an ' over it and one name with an o with I need to put to dots over it. How do I do this?

I was hitting Option e and not the ' key. It still shows up as ' in multiple programs. None have it show up with e with ' over it.
If you are pressing OPTION-e and OPTION-e then all you will end up with is an apostrophe. As stated above, press OPTION-e and e (no OPTION key for the second press). I tested this in iMovie '08 using the default font associated with the "Transparent - Black" title option (i.e., the Helvetica Neue font with default encoding for the application) and it works fine for me.

Does anyone know how to type the letters c, s, p, a, x, and q with a macron or straight line above them in Pages (on Lion) I'm trying to type up medical notes and it would go a lot faster if I could do that.

for example c̄. a is the only letter I can do it with because it occurs normally in foreign language.

IF not too late, I will try to explain the philosophy of diacriticals. Basically, there are two ways:
- with so-called precomposed characters, i.e. chars which contain both the basic letter and the diacritical mark in one, unicode-encoded, char; this applies to chars used in languages based on the Latin alphabet, e.g. ř (Czech), ė (Lithuanian), ș (Romanian) etc.
- as, for various (mainly) linguistic and dialectal use, the number of precomposed chars is limited and, at a given moment, stopped by Unicode, the other solution is to write the basic char then add the diacritical mark, below or above, or even put more diacritical marks, 2 or 3, sometimes needed.
Your problem is, therefore, that—in your list—only a with macron, i.e. ā, is available as a precomposed char, the others must be achieved by typing the basic letter then macron above. This requires that both the application and the font be capable of doing this. If the font is missing the unicode block named combining diacritical marks, you cannot do that. Lucida Grande is that font, but there are others.
Your problem is then the keyboard layout capable of doing that. As the solution offered by Apple was not satisfactory for me (non-mnemotechnical and not covering all my needs) I created my own keylayout, labelled US Academic. It should be updated, some recently added chars are missing, but it will cover your neeeds. Alternatively, use Char Viewer to add the macron, a particularly tedious work. I know, some abhor dead keys, I like them, because—once mastered—they allow a fast use of diacritical marks. Consider that nobody needs all diacritical marks, but several, which may be easily memorized. In my keylayout, macron (line) below is option-a and macron (line) above is option-shift-a. Therefore, type c then option-shift-a = c̄; similarly, s̄; p̄; ā; x̄; q̄
True, you must exercize the use of such keylayout, but—once mastered—is a piece of fast work.
Some keylayouts are available free here:

Note that Pages is worse in dealing with CDMs than, say, TextEdit:
Therefore, if you need such pieces of linguistics, if TextEdit is too simple, Nisus or Mellel do a better job (the former with any appropriate font, the latter with OpenType fonts only).
Hope this has been useful to all those interested.

How can I get Adobe to take over my computer to help with lost photos?

I have lost photos going from PC to Mac in Lightroom. Have tried all the standard stuff. How do I get Adobe to log into my computer remotely to help?

Adobe Support is for problems installing and licensing their software on your computer, not to fix something you’ve done by mistake, unless you pay for their support which will likely cost quite a bit.
If you can describe your issue here in more detail perhaps a forum user can help you.

only way is to restore the phone as new. OR wait until IOS 7 comes out in the fall.

How to eliminate extra white when hovering over with a back ground color?

I just finished my menu and I notice that the hovering color is not hiding all the white. Does someone know how to eliminate extra white when hovering over with a back ground color?

Thanks!

You have heights on the ul, li as 36px and a line-height of the text of 35px so they are not matching up. Personally speaking I would normally recommend using padding on the links to create the height and not set the height on the ul or li elements.

How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc. I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"? I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc. I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"? I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success! Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion. While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post. A suggestion in that direction would help.
Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media. It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD". A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV. Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago. I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems. There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

HT1386 how can i do this in the itunes 11? the "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi" option is not available in the summary

the "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi" option is not available in the summary part on the new itunes. Anyone know where this option is on itunes 11?

If you feel misled then that is how you feel and I understand that. You are entitled to feel that way. But the iPad DOES work with Leopard 10.5.8 but you have to sync with the cable. When I bought my iPad1 - I was using a MacBook running 10.5.8. I upgraded to Snow Leopard in anticipation of the next generation of Apple iDevices and this past Christmas I received a new MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7. I still have the MacBook running Snow Leopard and my wife uses that one as her own laptop now.
As the iPad became more popular - users cried for a PC free device as well and now the iPad is PC free as long as you are running iOS 5. So apple has provided a way to use an iPad without the need for a computer at all. I really believe that Apple has provided a way for many people to take advantage of their newest device and it does not necessitate the purchase of a new computer or OS.
I am by no means defending Apple, but I think they have done a pretty amazing job with a device that is still just under two years old. It is still "backwards" compatible with two older versions of Mac Operating systems and with two MS operating systems as well.
I realize that everybody cannot dump their current computer and OS every time a new device hits the market, but at some point, software is upgraded, computers are upgraded and new phones, MP3 players, iPods, and iPads are released. Unfortunately, if you want the latest and greatest technology, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and spend the money.

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:
