HT2509 Can you see the list of fonts in the actual font?

Is it possible to see the name of the font in the list in the actual font?

If you are looking for a third-party utility that can display the various font faces in a list, then there might be one available (I'm not sure which is the best one, but there may be a good free one out there); however, if you want to view them in various font menus that you access in the system then as I mentioned above this will be an application-specific behavior, and some will support it whereas others will not.
Despite this, one crude approach to previewing fonts is to use Apple's "Stacks" view for folders in the Dock. To do this, go to the Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts/ folder and drag it to the Dock next to the trash. Then click it to open it and you will see your fonts listed, with capital and lower-case A characters in the font face. You can then highlight a font either by hovering over it with your mouse or by using the arrow keys, and then press the Space bar to show a preview of it for you to get a better sense of its style.
The fonts on the system will be in the following folders:
Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Fonts
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Fonts (this library folder is hidden but can be revealed by holding Option then opening the Go meny in the Finder).

HT5616 How can you see a list of devices registered to use our apple ID for FaceTime and other services?

Sometimes I will get a notification that x device is using my apple ID for FaceTime (or other services). Sometimes it is just generic Mac Book Pro. His can I see which devices are using my ID (and can you see more details than just the name)?

I just started getting this message too. Just started the last couple of days. It doesn't give a time that it was used. All it says that "appleid" was used to sign in to facetime on Macbook. My Macbook is not named "Macbook." It also doesn't correlate to times when computer is being used.

How can I see a list of apps and the devices they are installed on?

I have iTunes 11, and have downloaded numerous apps.
I have 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. I know I can select each mobile device in turn and see whether an app is installed on it or not. But, to see if a particular app is installed on each device, I have to click on each device and then look at the app list.
I would rather be able to see a list of apps, and along side them, a column for each device with an indicator of whether or not the app is installed, and a button, such as is used in the app list today, which would allow me to Remove, Install, Update, etc.
In this way, I would easily be able to see everywhere an app was installed, and in one place be able to, for example, indicate I wanted it removed from all devices, and potentially deleted from iTunes when that is done.
Is there a facility built in to iTunes already that will allow me to do this? If not, is there a Plug-In I could use?

That sucks! Thanks for the quick response.
Do you know if there is another Adobe app (free or paid) that will let me markup a large document and list my edits?

How can you retieve a list of classes from the Library

Is it possible to retrieve a list of the Linkage or Export
Classes from a swf library dynamically?
I am building an application where I allow the user to load
an asset swf at runtime, then they can choose to load any Exported
class from the library of the swf. Currently it works if you know
the name of the asset, that you want to load, but I would like to
be able to bring up a chooser list of the assets, rather than
having to type the Class names.
So far I have only seen examples where "if you know the class
name you can load it", but nothing concerning pulling the list.
There must be a list somewhere in flash, I just want to tap into
that.

I saw this before and did not have a chance to go through it
completely.
As I was reading it, though it did not seem to be giving me
the answer, as they seem to extend the Export clips in the library
by extending the class.
I'll run through that and see.
It does give me another idea though.
(crazy) Idea:
What if I extend the loader class and add a method, kind of
like what they are doing on the document class of the loaded swf,
to pull the class names. They hard code in the class names into the
array though.... so that is the crux of the issue.
Somehow I think this concept is doomed to fail but, I will
also see if that is possible.
I suppose for the application, I could require that any user
would use a swf with a document class that has the getAssets()
method.... also has some problems .... namely dealing with the
issue of "what if they do not extend" and having it fail
gracefully.
oh well, food for thought... I will leave this open for now
and perhaps I will post some answer.

HT3231 Can you see 2 or more screens at the same time on a Macbook?

If you know how to set up your Macbook so that you can view 2 or more screens at the same time on the display, please tell me the steps I need to take to do this. Thanks!

Hi geniew,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The link below will give you some pointers on how to customize the Mac.
Apple - Find Out How - Mac Basics
I believe what you are asking is how to change the size of a window so that you can see two applications side by side. For example, open the Safari application, and drag the bottom right corner of the window to resize it, then quit Safari. When you open the application again, the window will open in the smaller size you created.
Repeat for any other applications you wish, so that you can have windows open side by side.
Alternatively, you can switch between applications quickly as mentioned above in the link.
Quickly Switch Between Applications
The Mac makes it easy to have multiple applications — Mail, Safari, iTunes, Pages, iChat, iPhoto, and others — open at the same time. So how do you quickly switch from Safari, let’s say, to Mail?
Just hold down the Command key and press the Tab key (Command-Tab). Mac OS X immediately displays a mini-Dock with icons for each of your open applications. At the left side of the mini-Dock, you’ll see the icon for your current application. Next to it (and highlighted), you’ll find the icon for the application you last used. Each time you press the Tab key (without releasing the Command key), you can cycle through your open applications.
One more tip: You can also use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys to navigate your open applications.
Or, use Expose to manage multiple windows:

I hope this information helps ....

Can you see file history of when read?

I need to see if someone at work read a file I have been working on. I suspect they were looking at my computer. I can only see when it was last opened - that was by me. Can you see somewhere a history of when the file was opened for viewing? It is a document written in Pages 09.

I'm unaware of such feature (at least without a third party tool).
To get rid of this kind of behavior, I store important files in an encrypted disk image.
So a password is required to access it.
Of course don't ask the system to apply the password automatically.

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can i see a LIST of all the things removed from MobileMe in the upgrade to iCloud?

i have heard so many reports of things changed in MobileMe in the "upgrade" to iCloud, and i want to clarify these prior to switching over (i have already upgraded to iOS5 and 10.7.2) because from what i have heard some of these chages are going to mean a massive LOSS OF INFORMATION!!!
based on how i have been using mobileme for the last 10 years (in it's various incarnations) i have heard that when you update:-
1/ i am going to lose my 100's of photo websites in june 2012 (thanks guys!!)
2/ i am going to lose most of the notes i have added to the over 1500 entries in my AddressBook (and some of those notes are VERY long and perfectly placed since they give me immediate access to data/info on the person/company in AB (this is a TERRIBLE DECISION IF TRUE) becaue apple had given a new charcter limit to Notes
3/ my iphone now does not seem to play anything that was bought from beatport or freebies i have received from DJs (which i belive is linked to the size of the bit rate - some are 14100, rather than the 320 of itunes tracks) and which means i am either going to have to find another music player and/or stop buying music from any one other than itunes <<DUH>>
4/ i have used my mac.com account in itunes to buy a LOT of stuff, different bits of which go on my iphone, ipad, etc (in fact the ipad is used by my mother who would have never ever have bought any apps, so i have adapted the ipad with the apps i think she would like - but i do not want these on my iphone) so am i going to have to repeatedly stop itunes form adding every new purchase from downloading itself to all my apple equipment??????
quite frankly, if all the above is true (and i bet there are more to come ) then it is a ral smack in the face of long time apple users who have bought into the whole iDisk, MobileMe stuff in the past, and who have created a ersonal way of using them - i bought a family pack just so i could put different types of photo website up under my different"family" names - all of which were initially just for me to use!!!!!!!!!!!!
so, please can you publish a list of all the things i am going to lose when i move to the icloud?????????????
sees a fair request, but one which it also seems i have to ask for cos i cannot find a list such as this anywhere on the apple website

Question 2 would be best asked as an individual question in the hope of attracting the attention of someone who is in the same situation and can give you a practical answer: question 3 would best be asked in the iPhone forum.

In my Itunes account, I can not see my list of songs in my files, nor can I look for individual songs in the Itunes store. Basically, anywhere there are list, I can not see them. What can I do to fix this problem?

I am having trouble with my Itunes account on Windows XP . I can not see any list in my music files. The songs are there but I have to click on each song to see what it is. Also, in the itunes store, I can not see any pull down list or use my search bar. This happened when Itunes updated it's look. I can pull it up on my phone and see all of my purchased music. I would really appreciate knowing how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

How can you see what the WLC ACL is denying?

How can you see what the acl on our WLC5508 is denying? The counter keeps on going up but what is getting blocked is nowhere to be seen.

You are right but you can monitor that through the hits counts on the (WLC)Security->Access crontrol list === Hits
It will give you some idea for trouble shooting also you have the cmd line for details analysis.

Can you see the delivery destination on the tracking information?

I'm thinking that I made a mistake on my delivery address.
When I realize the mistake, I changed the address. from IL to FL.
I received the email from Apple, that my new order has been shipped (Ipad).
When I track my order on FEDEX, I only can see PICKED UP. on Nashville TN.
And I can't see the destination city or area. (normally all the Fedex shipments have information about destination).
And the tracking is still on PICKED UP, why is not IN TRANSIT? (2 days picking the package up??)
I live in FL.
Can you see the delivery information on your tracking orders?
Will my package be deliver in IL or FL?

Call Apple and see what they can do. My guess would be that if you tried to change your order in any way after the status was changed from Processing, you won't have success. And if the address was listed as IL, not Florida at the time of shipping, your item is likely headed to IL. If your item is listed as picked up, it's not in transit because all iPads are being held at the shipper until the 16th as the earliest delivery date.

I seem to have deleted Passbook off my iPhone. How can I get it back? I can't see it listed in the appstore anywhere.

I seem to have deleted Passbook off my iPhone. How can I get it back? I can't see it listed in the appstore anywhere.

It is not possible to delete any of the bundled apps. You may have moved it to another home screen or inadvertently dropped it into a folder. If you search for the app or reset the home screen layout - Settings/General/Reset - that should bring it back to the default location. There also may be a setting to turn Passbook off in the General/Restrictions, but not having an iPhone with iOS 6 I'm not sure.
Regards.

How can I see a list of the assets associated with a sequence?

How can I see a list of the assets, both online and offline, associated with a sequence?

Exporting an EDL or copying and pasting a timeline into a bin gives a complete list of the clips in a sequence, but what I really would like is a list of the files used, without any duplications due to multiple clips from a single reel. Is there any quick way to automatically generate such a list?

HT4137 I am trying to follow the steps suggested in To restore you device from a previous backup, unfortunately the device is appearing in the list of devices. The sync option under devices is not also active. How can I resolve this?

I was trying to setup a new ipad. After resetting and erasing the content on the ipad, I would like to restore the ipad from the old backup. Unfortunately the device is not appearing in the list of devices. The sync option under devices is not also active. How else can I restore the ipad?

Sorry, you can't extract those photos from the old device unless you restore the new phone from that backup.
You could of course use a third party software to extract those pics but it will cost you.
If you still have the old phone import those pics to your computer and then sync those photos to your new phone via itunes.

Can you use iCloud to save iPhotos to the cloud? When I sign in to iCloud, I just see a few basic apps, no iPhotos.

If you're referring to the iCloud.com website for you account there are no photos there. Photop Stream is only for syncing photos between iOS devices and Macs.
