Why is this not by default?
This .ds_Store files clutter my synology diskstation which is accessed by windows clients (and one mac).

.DS_Store is a file used by Finder to 'remember' your prefences for that folder or volume. Every folder on your Mac has one, and any connected HDs will also get one.
In OS X it's hidden, but on Windows it isn't recognised and shows up as a 'ghost' file.
You can use the free version of Tinker Tool to stop Finder from creating them on network shares.

HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

According to:
Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

I want to start with audio on a timeline and add photos. Why is this not possible in the new confusing version of iMovie?

Yrs,
Unspeakably Frustrated

Yes, you can do this. Drag the music track to the background and start adding your pictures. A great way to do this is to use beat markers so your photos will change on the beat.
A really fast way to do this is to line up your photos in an iPhoto album in the order you want them. You can drag the whole album into iMovie at once.
Here is a tutorial on the beat marker feature.
Here is a sample of a slideshow made by dragging in the music first, adding beat markers, and then adding photos.

HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

IMO, it is being greatly over-blown in the media and online.
Man in the middle attacks require the hacker to be connected to the same intranet network that your device is. Even if they are, unless you go to a secure site and use personal data (like passcodes) they get nothing from stealing your data stream.
If you are at your home, on your own secured intranet, then you really have virtually nothing to fear (as long as your own home network is secured and not wide open to anybody within range). If you routinely use a VPN connection when on public wifi, again, you are fine. Or if you use FireFox, Chrome or another browser that implements its own SSL security, then you are fine.
The fact is, that even for those in a particular situation that is vulnerable to such an attack, most are not actually under any such attack - it is not nearly as rampant as the recent hype would have it seem to be.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

IPad photo sort order issue is ridiculous. Why is this not fixed?

Apple,
Sometimes you might want to come down from the mountain and just fix the most obvious and insanely frustrating issues with your software. The one that rises to the top at the moment is when images are imported to iPad from folders (not iPhoto) they are not sort by name. Whose universe are you in that thinks this is helpful to anyone not using iPhoto and why did the 4.2 update not fix this issue. The iPad is made to present photos in the most amazing way. One of the top three uses for the device. Third party apps for photo presentation/portfolio are a sorry lot of problems and forcing them to import one image at a time is brutal.
This may also be a good time to rant about changing the orientation switch on the side of the iPad. That was one thing that just worked now it doesn't. You now need to take 5 steps to stop the orientation from changing. Again in what universe is this a good idea?
Thanks for all the incredible things you make but please take a minute and fix the simple stuff.

Apple does not really read these forums. If you want to make a suggestion to Apple go here:

Currently I also favour using a trailing underscore to denote fields, but that is less universal.

}This method returns the value of the value field in the outer class instance; the Card class does not declare a field. The value returned will be the same for every class instance.
> // Return the int that codes for this card's value.Same bug as before.
>      // Return a String representing the card's value
// (If the card's suit is invalid, "??" is returned.)That's just a lie. The value returned has nothing to do with the suit.

default: return "*";}
Stylistically I tend to do this sort of thing with arrays.
But that's not a big deal.       > //Return a string representing the cards value
//but with Aces set as high
public String setAceHigh(){
AceHigh = true;This is plain bad.
The aceHigh_ field is a property of the Deck, not the card; the method to set it should be in the Deck and getValueAsString should do what it says whether aces are high or not.
> // Return a String representing the card's suit.
// (If the card's suit is invalid, "??" is returned.)Again, the returned string is based on the suit field of the outer class, and the stated default value is not what the method returns.
> // Return a String representation of this card, such as
public String toString(){
if (AceHigh = true){
return(setAceHigh() + "" + getSuitAsString());
}else{
return (getValueAsString() + "" + getSuitAsString());
} The toString method of the inner class should not invoke methods which set fields in the outer class (even if it only sets them to the value they had before).
As the values of the srting returned is dependent onto on the state of the field in the outer class, this will return the same string for every class in the pack.

Why will this not work for combo box

I need to know why this will not work a combobox but it works for text fields. Isay ther is an error in the doc.createTextNode.
Please any help would be great.

Deleted Emails Keep Coming Back -- WHY has this not been fixed?

Settings on iPhone:
Mail Type: POP
Deleted Messages = After One Day
Delete from Server = Whn removed from inbox
iOS: 5.1.1
Okay.....this is ridiculous, if you search the web you find hundreds of people complaining about this problem and not one offers any type of solution. This never happened on my Blackberry. This ONLY started happening again a few weeks ago on the iPhone.
I have NOT changed any settings anywhere as it relates to email. This is just annoying when you are trying to work and you get buzzed to only find the same ones deleted are back again.
Is there a FINAL solution to this problem Apple.
Thanks to all who respond.

If it used to work properly you could try deleting and recreating the account on your phone to see if that would help. Otherwise you might have to contact godaddy support to see if they know if their server will honor the settings on your phone.

HT1629 why is this not by default?
