I don't want to use comments in Pages: can't I turn it off?
Sorry, but I still think Pages is incredibly lame compared to Word. One of the reasons I prefer Word is that I can choose whether or not to use comments. Now, my own changes to my own document will be seen by another person, which is just stupid -- not to mention hard to read. Coul
Hi David,
Do you mean comments or track changes?
Have a look at these options:
Menu > Edit > Track changes
Menu > Insert > Comment
Menu View > Show Comments Pane
Menu View > Comments and Changes > Show or Hide Comments/Changes
Menu > Edit > Turn Off Tracking (and you will be asked to accept or reject all changes)
Regards,
Ian.

Wanted to include my sister and parents in the Family Sharing group under the iCloud app, but I don't want them using my credit card for their purchases. We just wanted to be able to share pictures and/or videos and find each other, if necessary. Is there a way around my card being the default for them when they go to purchase something?
If you don't want your sister to make purchases on your credit card, then Family Sharing is not an appropriate way to do what you want. You can use Find my Friends to locate each other and you can use Shared Photo Streams to share photos.

Kisight:- If I Don't Have or Want to Use My iSight What Can I Use ?
kisight:- If I Don't Have or Want to Use My iSight What Can I Use ?
Or What Cameras are available for Macs ?
This question used to come up for Macs that did not have Internal Cameras and the User did not have an External iSight.
Since the advent of Intel Mac and the Internal iSight and OS 10.4.9 (late Tiger) the question has broadened from "What can I use with iChat ?" to "What cameras can I use with My Mac ?" and from there into the current Question this User Tip plans to answer.
On the whole it is a case of matching a camera for the type of application you are going to use it most with.
A web cam can be used in iMovie to create Email or Video Blogs although Camcorders do a better job. Camcorders can be used as web cams.
Camera Types
These fall into three main categories that themselves have subsets.
Your choice is going to be influenced by the Applications you want to use it with.
1) Firewire Cameras (Plug an Play)
a) The iSight (External) made by Apple and several other similar cameras have mostly disappeared off the market. (Although iSights seem to be still doing well on Ebay - See Version and Mounts).
b) Firewire Camcorders. These vary as to which apps that work with dues to the different Signal outputs they can do.
Apple Article TA26556 Highlights some that have issues due to their proprietary DV Format.
2) USB 1.1 able Cameras. (Not Plug and Play)
This includes most cameras pre Vista (more on that later)
Most of these will need a suitable Mac Driver either from the Manufacturer or from one of two Generic sources (macam and IOXeperts). Some manufacturers will include a Mac Driver on the CD that comes with the camera some will supply it as a download from their Site.
It is worth while saying at this point that iChat will also need this reasonably cheap iUSBCam Utility as well.
This Utility was originally designed for getting the External iSight to work on computers less than the G3/600Mghz spec for iChat. Then it included the ability to get USB cameras to work with iChat.
You will need one of these three options listed so far if you are OS 10.4.8 or below or have only USB 1.1 ports/sockets on your Mac.
3) USB 2.0 Cameras. (Plug and Play in most cases)
a) Those that are UVC (USB Video Class) Compliant (Also listed as Vista Certified)
Apple added a UVC driver to the OS at 10.4.9 but your Mac also has to have an USB 2.0 port that you can plug such a camera into (Some keyboard ports are not USB 2.0). This means that the camera is Plug and Play although it may not have all the features it has on a PC
b) Those that are USB 2.0 but are not Vista Certified/UVC compliant. (You are going to need Mac Drivers again)
This site about Apple Compatible cameras may be of some help.
A Note on quality of Pictures.
Firewire cameras of either sort are best with Camcorders being the best of all. (Generally more pixels delivered faster to your Computer)
The Newer USB 2.0 cameras are tending to exceed the 640 X 480 pixels that earlier USB1.1 cameras use with some currently giving 1.3Mp resolutions. It should be noted though that not all applications will use this format.
Look closely at the maximum Frame rate (fps) a camera can produce. You may not get it is every applications but something that starts with a max of 15fps is going to give you no leeway.
Applications
You may get some more insight into what to go for by asking in one of these forums:-
iSight Discussions,
iChat AV Discussions for iChat 3 and iChat 2 and Earlier,
iChat and iChat Sharing (in Leopard)
and iMovie Discussions
Please Note:- some of these are Category Links and you have to select a forum within the list at the top of the linked page.

Versions and Mounts Which Version Am I Buying ?
First off I will not say so much on Buying a second hand External iSight other than making sure you use a reputable Selling site or an Individual Seller so that you have recourse if the device turns out to be faulty. Try and get to see the camera working if you can, preferably seeing it plugged in and working or by iChat and seeing the Pic it produces (Get the person to show you live Screen shots (or Screen Share in Leopard/iChat 4) of System Preferences > Sound > Input as the iSight will be listed)
What I will list here is info about the different versions.
There were three versions before the External iSight was discontinued. There is little outward differences as the main change is the mounts that are included with each version. They all function the same way.
The versions are distinguished by letters (Revision A, B or C) in addition to the base part number and an added slash (M8817LL/).The Last model included different mounts for Laptops, Desktop Stand, Magnetic mount and one for a Flat Panel iMac (the Lampshade one). See pictures in this PDF on page 6.
Apple no Longer sell the External iSight or the Apple M9314G/B iSight Accessory Kit either but you may find it at other places as well if the mount you want/need does not come with the camera. Pics of Box and Contents
It appears that individual iSight mounts and other items can be purchased though this iSight Service FAQ page
Remember the youngest External iSight is likely to be at least 4 years old. Current anecdotal information suggests the cost of an Apple Repair to a faulty External iSight exceeds the cost of a USB Replacement (Or the value in real terms, of the camera itself - although higher prices seem to be quoted on Ebay and Amazon)

Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"Thanks Nubz
I will review further an correct myself.
The last reads the way I meant as in physically getting to see it.
I am not sure you are reading it the same way.
As a consequence your suggestion seems a bit ambiguous to my mind.
Thanks for the input. I will read a digest context a bit more and see if I can rephrase.

There is no option to reject an incoming call in locked screen, there must be an icon on the screen for one who don't want to use lock button several times, i did'nt face this problem in last ios 6.1.3.
A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here. -

I don't want to use microsoft products on my mac!
Dearest Apple,
What can I say, I am a massive fan of your work. I have totally bought into your brand....
My problem is I don't want to use microsoft software on my gorgeous shiny mac, or any of my apple products for that matter. The issue is I don't appear to have any choice if I want to communicate professionally with the rest of the business world.
I love the new mac mail in OS X Lion, but when I send an email to an outlook user it looks like Johnny age 5 composed it.
I'm not asking for much from you IT giants, why can't you get together and agree on a code/platform/whatever it needs to make emails (which in my opinion don't appear to be the most complex of documents) backward compatable. Nearly everyone has an email signature with some text and a small graphic, what's so hard about having the end user display that correctly?
Then there is iWork, again a lovely product to work in, you could argue not quite as powerful as excel, but it works. Albeit you can't lock documents etc when sending them to 'PC users'
When are we likely to see a change?
All I want is to use my mac and software specific to it without having to subscribe to the awful giant microsoft.
Thanks
B
P.S dam you make some fine products ; )Product Feedback

Don't Want To Use Apple Config, Device Enroll Program
I have been reading a lot on how to implement profiles onto devices like the iPhone, this functionality is what I am looking for, mainly with iPhone for some businesses and schools I work with. I have red that with the new technology you don't have to us Apple Configurator, and I have red about the Device Enroll Program... for my purposes I don't want to use any Apple method (nor would the situation I have even qualify for the Device Enroll Program) I really would like to deploy custom configuration profiles, with restrictions specified by my customers.
I have been scanning the developer guides and and slowly grasping what I need to do...it sounds like I don't need to use Apple methods if I don't want CORRECT??? If I can implement custom profiles and in some cases it might just be three iPhones... I was hoping to find the proper guidance for implementing those custom profiles, thru the webpage method or e-mail message is more suitable for my needs.
I found the Apple play by play on how to do that, but sometimes for myself finding another perspective helps me learn... Any places anyone has found that can give that play by play on how to deliver those custom profiles thru web page or e-mail?
I have looked at the Over the Air Profile Delivery and Configuration Developer Pages... I'm just looking for that alternate information source to help me out. Appreciate all the helpUsing Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. The Mac OS will always default to the newest installed version & has for as long as I can remember. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
This is what worked for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "Applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.
Since the last update I've used the solution Peter Breis posted (4th post in that thread) in iWork Tips 'n' Tricks with a little "tweak."
Making Numbers '09 the default whilst keeping Pages 5
1. Move any new iWork apps in another clearly labelled folder (I created a new folder in Applications & named it iWork 13)
2. Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy > drag the above folder into the list
2) Move the new iWork folder into the trash (temporarily)
3) Select any Numbers file in Finder > Menu > Info (cmd+i) > Open with: > Pages '09 > Change all
4) Re the new iWork folder from the trash (right-click > Put back)
Pages 5 should no longer appear as a default App, and you won't have to keep a copy in a separate drive or dmg.
IMPORTANT: Make a note of where and how Pages was installed for the next App Store update and temporarily move it back there before putting it away again in the folder concealed from Spotlight. -
How do I set up a second Apple ID to use iCloud? My office is going to use the iCloud calendar on our PCs and I don't want to use my personal ID. Thanks for any suggestions.
You really don't want to do that, operate an iPad with 2 different ID's.
I'm presuming you have a work iPad and you want to put some non work bought apps on it. You will have issues, like half the iPad not working while the other half does.
Probably not something you want to explain to your IT department. -
New Photo app on Mac.
How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
Any other suggestions?
thx
-TomThe amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it. There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck. Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules. That may be the problem. -

How I can change my pay method y iTunes if I don't want to use my credit card?
The iTunes Store sometimes requires it even if the card wouldn't be charged; if it actually gets charged and you're not trying to gift the songs, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits syncing only by iCloud. Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes. I don't want to use iCloud. Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?
ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do not want that either.
I chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can no longer do that.
Whoever made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by this.
I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
In the meantime - thanks for the work around -
How do I only use the wifi internet because I don't want to use my mobile data because I don't have Internet on my price plan and its costing me money?
Well, if you are running iOS 6.0 or later.
The option supposed to be in Settings>General>Cellular>Cellular Data---Off & Enable 3G---Off
I think you'd better check the settings in Privacy>Location Services.
Some items in it need Cellular data like"setting time zone" and "Find my iPhone'. -
Don't want to use new Numbers, but 'get info' fix doesn't work
Hi All,
I made the mistake of installing the new Numbers a month or two ago. I don't want to use the new Numbers because I need to work on the same documents on older machines that won't work with the new Numbers. On my machines with both versions of Numbers, I want to be able to just double-click on the documents and open with the older version. The usual fix is to use get info on a document, select the app I want to use for this type of document and then hit 'change all' for that type of doc. Well that's the theory at least. I've found that this setting doesn't stick in this case. (I've never seen this not work). It still opens with the new Numbers.
I've tried removing Numbers, but Software Update keeps nagging that there is an update available jfor Numbers, and wants to reinstall it. They 'dumbed down' Software Update so that you can't remove updates you don't want to be bothered by. (I hate it that Apple continually removes features, then adds them back in a year or two!) So I'm stuck.
Any one else have this happen? Any fixes?
