I have Lion on my Mac ProBook. Using Pages "09 4.1 I can't get special character like "Emoji" to work! Punctuation, arrows, etc work fine.

Why does Pages '09 Version 4.1 offer "special characters" when many are NOT SUPPORTED (according to the user guide) when I try to insert one into my text? My son-in-law is a zombie freak. A picture of a skull looks like it should be available in the "Emoji" section; but it will not, nor will any other emticon, consent to showing up in my text! < And this is all I can get on this site! The angry face wouldn't budge! I can get all the arrows, monetary symbols, upsidedown ? and tilde n's to last a lifetime.
For now I all I want from Santa is a skull, a puppy and maybe a dinosaur ..... the last 2 are for grandkids!

These are two entirely different things. The "Special Characters" are Unicode characters in fonts.
Emoticons and Emoji are substituted icons for certain typed combinations like : ) , : ( . This is a software trick.
If you want the actual little pictures just go to the various websites where they are available and copy paste or drag them into Pages like any other graphic.

Recently emoji have been added to the Unicode set:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji
But you need to find a font that actually includes them as glyphs. This is the only one I can find and don't know if it meets your needs:

Emoticons and Emoji are common for browsers and email where such indicators of otherwise hard to tell facial expresions are useful. Such usage in a Word Processor or DTP application is very much a minority usage and perfectly met by simple imported graphics.

PS How do you not get these emoticons:

I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's? Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with the Mac? Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac? Thanks!!

No DV port in camcorder. Just a yellow AV port/hole. I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's. Can I use this with a Mac? Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac? Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way? Thanks again!

You can't; there's no Thunderbolt port on a Mac Pro. If you just bought the display, try to swap it for the standard 27" LED display with the mini display port connector (that assumes your Mac Pro is a 3,1 or later, which has a mini display port).

I purchased an apple mac mini i5 from the states and i can't get my French bluetooth keyboard to work. The code is not working.

QT Pro- have valid reg# for Mac, cant use it with my new PC
gets "Invalid registration" error upon entering the reg code...
Im typing it in the QT control panel on my Windows XP workstation exactly as it appears on my MBP. Am I required to purchase a second license just to use it on a PC ?

thanks for your input. I did some hunting around and eventually discovered that one can buy a QTP for Windows license on the Apple Store $29.99 at the time of this writing. Its clear now that the license code for QTP/Mac will not work for QTP/Win or vice versa. Who woulda thunk it ?
But now we know...

I accidentally Deleted the Mac app store from my computer. How can I get it back? I am using Yosemite

Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

I have a i mac os x 10.8.5 and i can't get my Panasonic camera to upload my videos camera is a DMC-ZS10

I have a i mac os x 10.8.5 and i can't get my Panasonic camera to upload my videos. MY camera is a DMC-ZS10 somone said something about a firewire port to instead of usb port

There have been more than a few similar questions about this, as iPhoto does not handle the video files created by this camera (it would appear)
Although some users nearly two years ago were told to try Handbrake application and that could be used to create MP4 which then could be used in iPhoto or iMovie.
Not sure how valid that chain would be to follow, now.
You may be able to import straight into iMovie.
MPEG-4, AVCHD are files it creates.
If not you may need a file conversion.
{The camera in question appears to only offer USB ports
so a FireWire cable would be worthless in this situation.}
Although I have a 'video clip option' in one of my digital
still-frame DSLR cameras, I have never needed it.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT200027 I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8. How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8. How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

I installed Lion on my MAC book and now want to uninstall it, can't seem to find a way to do it, any suggestions?

In order to uninstall Lion and "downgrade" your OS, you have to erase your drive. There is no other way. If you have a bootable clone or a Time Machine backup, it is easy - just boot with it, erase the drive, and clone back. Or, do you have your install disks? Boot from that disk, erase the drive and reinstall.
Make sure you back up your important files first since they will be gone.

Thanks so much for the offer of help. I'm using 10.9.2 OSX. I have Numbers 2.3 (554). I tried the new version but it was "dumbed down" so much (to make it usable on multiple platforms) that it was of no use on iMac. I still can't get my contacts to open

Thanks so much for the offer of help. I'm using 10.9.2 OSX. I have Numbers 2.3 (554). I tried the new version but it was "dumbed down" so much (to make it usable on multiple platforms) that it was of no use on iMac.
I still can't get my contacts to open in Numbers like they used to do. I have a group of five addresses in a test folder in Mail called "untitled group." But no amount of pasting, dragging, etc can get them to open up in Numbers. My "real" folder has almost 100 addresses so I can't do it one by one.
Thoughts?
Thanks again.
Bob

Bob,
You can place contacts in a table In Numbers by the following methods:
Numbers 2.3:
drag from contacts
Numbers 3.2
copy from contacts, then paste into Numbers
In both cases you need to open System preferences, then select the "Security & Privacy panel and allow Numbers aaccess your contacts information.

Create a new ID:
On the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
- Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
