I am trying to use automator to make a simple app that when I open it, it comes up with a dialog box that asks for a link that you want to download. and it will download it for you using the curl -O shell script in Terminal. How would I do it?

I want this so I can just download anything I want by just having the link and I have made a few things with shell scripts in automator before, just never anything where i need to input a value into the shell script.

When I open Muse it comes up with a 'new version is available' and when I click on 'install now' it takes me to the adobe muse website where I click on the 'Download' button.

The new version has not installed, could some one please let me know the reason why it isn't installing.

Firefox and default site - when I open firefox google comes up fine - but any other sibsequesnt page I have to type in google can I set up a default page for every page that I open up in a window

Hello
When I open Firefox, google comes up as my default page. This is fine but if I open additional windows next to the default page nothing comes up.
Can you set google or any other page to be the default page in any window I open. It is annoying to have to keep on typing google in every time I want to open a new page with firefox

You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

I am not able to open the pdf attachments that someone sent me it comes up with a gray box saying adobe cannot open?

Make sure the pdf has the '.pdf' extension on the file name. I've seen this a few times and adding the extension usually solves the problem.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed asiTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you have the media you can use selected steps from the tip to ensure that you don't lose settings and data from the device as a result of switching libraries.
A large number of users with this issue have been using AVG Anti-Virus which appears to be implicated in the problem. AVG have released a patch which might help, so if you use AVG then I would update that first. I'd also be interested to know which AV you use in case others may cause similar issues. I recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time and scheduled AV scanning process. Another possible cause could be automatic backup tools.

I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so. My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album. After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location. What am I doing wrong? I know this should be a simple thing to do. Thanks

Jimmy RG
In the Elements Organizer 13
The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
in the line up of thumbnails.
Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

Although my apple ipod is 4g it seems to quit accepting the cd's I am trying to download and now will not allow the remaining 2.5gb available on my ipod...help?

Although my apple ipod is 4g it seems to quit accepting the cd's I am trying to download and now will not allow the remaining 2.5gb available on my ipod.
Can anybody out there give me any clues as to why my apple ipod won't allow my remaining 2.5 gb of ipod space to download anymore of my cd's. I am using Itunes library which also doesn't seem to accept the cd's even though they are legitimate in every way and are not homemade.

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

I Am trying to make an "in app" purchase when I press buy it tells me that I have already downloaded this purchase, then I get a message that the purchase failed. How can I resolve this issue?

When an app is downloaded under an Apple ID it is permanently tied to that Apple ID. The only option is to de
Ete and then download under your Apple ID.

HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.

This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

Are you referencing your Photoshop image files, or Photoshop application files?
If the latter, cease and desist at once!
Always install Photoshop from scratch, from the original media: CD/DVD or download.
If the former, please provide details:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Is it possible to download and upload a perticular IDOC for one to other sy

Hello,
Is it possible to download and upload a perticular IDOC for one to other system. I was just wondering if this is possible. Please revert if any body has tried this.
Thanks.

Yes, it is possible and the main purpose of IDocs is actually the information exchange between the systems. You might want to read some theory on this first and user Search if you have questions about particular IDoc types:

Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
