I know this is going to sound lame but...

I just got my grandparents to buy a Mac Mini, their first Apple computer. They had an ancient pc so they were still using dial-up. They want to continue using dial-up since they don't use the internet all that much but still want email. Since I can't convince them otherwise, is there an adaptor that will make a dial-up phone signal go into the ethernet port? Please tell me there is!

No, there isn't. But there's this:

I know this is going to sound stupid but I can't seem to set up my email as an iCloud email account. I want to eliminate my aol account and transfer everything to iCloud with an iCloud email. How do I do this.

If your Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, you first have to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then check Mail. This will automatically add an iCloud email account.
To transfer your AOL mail, you need to drag and drop them into the same folder in the iCloud account. If you have any folders in your AOL mail, you would need to create folders by the same name in the iCloud account, then open each folder, select all the mail in the folder and drag and drop them on the folder by the same name in your iCloud account. (To create a folder in the iCloud account, click the "+" at the bottom of your folder list, choose Create Mailbox, choose iCloud as the location and give it a name.)

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because I don't believe Mac uses Microsoft Window Operating System - right?

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right? I have Mac OS X. I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011. Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???

Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate. The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim.
You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business. The caller will eventually hang up.
But your analysis was 100% correct.
Ciao.

This is going to sound stupid, but how do I move the gnome3 dock?

I would Like to use the one from gnome-shell-extension-dock, but I can't for the life of me move the original one or remove it for that matter.
How do I go about doing this. This is the first time I've actually been able to get Gnome 3 and Gnome-shell working decently without breaking my themes (Apparently Adawaita uses the same general colors as the GTK2 theme it uses does, so I just copied the gtk3.0 and metacity-1 folders from said theme into all my Murrina themes and now everything looks good)
Also, sometimes Gnome-shell crashes just out of the blue, or at least the window manager does. I can't figure out why it does this, but I suspect it might be because compiz-fusion-icon keeps loading.
EDIT: I seem to have fixed the sound issues with my headphones by switching it over to analog stereo duplex when I'm running shell.

Don't believe so. You can always install Docky or Avant Window Navigator if you like. I liked Gnome3 for a while but got sick of repeatedly moving my mouse up to the corner to make stuff I commonly use visible. I hated the way workspaces are done too. Not sure why they made these decisions but for better or worse they are here. I've moved on to KDE and Openbox where I actually have some control over things.
I liked Gnome3 for a while, I have to admit. In the end I was just too restricted. Lot's of extensions for it coming out though which might help with this stuff. You could just get rid of gnome-shell though and use another dock of your choice.
That's the problem though, I think I'm actually beginning to like old g-shell. Funny as I used to bash the you know what out of it, but once you find some workarounds and make stuff look good, it's not all that bad.
Oh and I found out what kept crashing Gnome Shell..it was when I was switching themes, but only with certain ones. Deleted those and now it works.
....And now my dock seems to display correctly again -.- . Seems it only happens when I boot gnome-shell initially.
It's probably going to be one of those odd quirks I'll just have to live with until Gnome-shell is patched or updated to allow resizing and moving.

This is going to sound stupid but HELLLPPP ME. :(

so, my computer got that trojan virus and my mother decided to pretty much refresh my whole computer by using some anti-virus download which deleted everything that the computer did not come with, this included my itunes and all the music that was in my library, i still have all of the songs on my ipod, i've downloaded itunes again, but i dont know how to get all my music from my ipod to the itunes i've recently downloaded, i dont want to lose the songs i've purchased and i dont want to have to take each cd that i own and re-import the songs to itunes...IM FREAKING OUT HERE it took me months to get all my music added to my ipod...and im in DIRE need of help. pleasseeee??? does anyone know what i can do???

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

This is going to sound weird, but...

My cheek has been making calls while I'm on the phone talking to someone else! Several times I'll be talking and all of a sudden I hear the dial tone, I look at the phone to see that I'm suddently dialing someone from my address book and the other call is now on hold!
I've tried not holding the phone so close to my ear but then I can't hear very well. I do have a bluetooth but only use that when I'm driving...anyone else have this problem? My cheek has even ended a call by accident!

Thanks for the picture..I can see my sensor. It doesn't look like my case/skin is covering it, but I'm going to keep it skin free and test it out before I buy something else.
iron9iant: I looked at the iSkin Revo, it's nice. Have you tried the Revo clip, does it work ok? My current clip that came with my skin doesn't work as well..the phone has popped out several times.

I know I'm going to sound thick but......

I suppose it's my age BUT I'd be VERY grateful if someone could help me please?
I wanted to put a dvd on to my daughters ipod.....daddy hasn't got a clue!
I presume I transfer the dvd to my PC, then transfer it to my itunes??
Only thing is, I ain't got a clue what to do?
If any of you know and would be so kind as to let me know, you make a daughter very happy!
cheers

You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

This is going to sound really ridiculous but, what is an "interactive" PDF? I received a PDF from an organization which stated it was furnishing an "interactive PDF" but on which I am not even able to highlight or make comments.

This is going to sound really ridiculous but, what is an "interactive" PDF?
I received a PDF from an organization which stated it was furnishing an "interactive PDF" but on which I am not even able to highlight or make comments.

Well turned out it is secured, but if you can't even highlight points, can you still refer to it as "interactive?"
The problem was that they furnished both a book and a PDF file which are identical and I am unable to understand the point. I would refer to the PDF as "flat" or "static" rather than "interactive." It seems redundant and I find the description misleading. It's also remarkably wasteful.
(Also, visualize the levels of efficiency between 1) scrolling through a PDF, highlighting certain points, and keyboarding comments vs 2) turning pages in a book, picking up a pen to highlight areas, and getting out the pen and paper to handwrite comments.)
Thanks so much for taking the time.

How can i increase the height of the navigation toolbar to make my persona more visible? adding toolbars puts them all below the navi bar and it looks weird. i know this has been asked many times but the answer's always "add toolbars".

This is going to sound silly *REAL THREAD*

First off, I work on a military base. I have been looking into an iPhone for a while, but I have 1 problem with it. It has a camera. We are not allowed to have camera phones on this property.
So, has anyone ever removed a camera from an iPhone? If so, how hard is it?
Message was edited by: Goobalicious

well I will say that sending it in to have the camera removed will probably void your support for the product.....
but im pretty sure that smashing the camera would do the same thing.
The iphone is like any other device it can have its problems. It can break completely to the point you have to get a replacement It can freeze up does it happen to everyone "no" but can it happen sure... so basically with you doing something like this your going to rely on the company your sending into for support on it....
Something you might wanna do is call apple support and find out if they would cover you for this specific situation... I don't see why they would want to limit there customers over something like this which is required for you to do.
If I had the choice I personally would rather find an alternative ... that comes with exactly what I need it to be.
This may not be your case but just my opinion =)

I know this can be done with javascript, but how precisely?

Hi there, I have a personal art website that I've been having trouble with. The website in question is http://www.aidenart.com. The issue that I'm dealing has to do with the concept art page which you can click on using the top navigation bar. On that page there are thumbnails of images and when you click on any one of those image thumbnails you should be taken to a new WEB PAGE with the full image on it. The fact that the link brings you to a new web page is important.   On each of the web pages that shows the full image I want to provide some navigation for the visitor to use. There's going to be a button that will link back to the main concept art page and a jump menu that will let the visitor go to any of the other concept art pages that they want. Both of those things I already know how to do. The thing is I also want put in NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons that will allow the visitor to go to the next or previous page in the list of concept art pages even if they've never visited the page before.
I know this can be done because I've seen other websites that have it. I took a look at their source code and most of them seem to be using some sort of javascript code with an onClick or onChange behavior. If someone could just help me find the basic coding for making this happen in Dreamweaver with maybe at least two or three pages then I could probably figure the rest out from there.
The last time I asked this forum about this problem everyone seemed to think that I wanted to create an image gallery, but I don't. I want the visitor to be able to cycle through the WEB PAGES that have the image and might have more images in the future, not just the images themselves. And using some sort of code that has to do with the web browser's history isn't going to do what I want.
Here's some code from other websites that I found using just what I want to accomplish.

The first example is from http://www.fanfiction.net/.   If you click on any of the stories there that have more than one chapter then you should see code somewhere that looks like the above example. This type of navigation, which can be seen in the upper right corner of stories that use it, is exactly what I've been trying to accomplish for quite some time now.
Here's another example.
<form method="" action="" name="hero_form">
         <select name="hero_choices" onChange="swap_hero(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">
         <option value='1'>Jeran</option><option value='2'>Space Faerie</option><option value='3'>Fyora</option><option value='4'>Lisha</option><option value='5' SELECTED>Illusen</option><option value='6'>Kayla</option><option value='7'>King Skarl</option><option value='8'>Psellia</option><option value='9'>Jhuidah</option><option value='10'>The Soup Faerie</option><option value='11'>Hannah</option><option value='12'>Master Vex</option><option value='13'>Galgarroth</option><option value='14'>Cylara</option><option value='15'>Gorix</option><option value='16'>Commander Gormos</option><option value='17'>King Kelpbeard</option><option value='18'>Swordmaster Talek</option><option value='19'>Garin</option><option value='20'>Jacques</option><option value='21'>General Dacon</option><option value='22'>Nabile</option><option value='23'>Tomos</option><option value='24'>Armin</option><option value='25'>Judge Hog</option><option value='26'>Hanso</option>
         </select>
     </form>
     </center>
     <table width="200" border=0 align=center>
         <tr>
             <td align=center>
                                     <a href='showhero.phtml?hero=4'><img src="http://images.neopets.com/galleryofheroes/goh_left_arrow.gif" border=0 width=80 height=80></a>
                             </td>
             <td align=center><a href='../hero.phtml'><img src="http://images.neopets.com/galleryofheroes/goh_home.gif" width=50 height=50 border=0></a></td>
             <td align=center>
                                     <a href='showhero.phtml?hero=6'><img src="http://images.neopets.com/galleryofheroes/goh_right_arrow.gif" border=0 width=80 height=80></a>
With this example the website even used images as the buttons instead of just simple input buttons. I'd like to use my own images for buttons if I can.
My computer is a Macbook with the most recent operating system (as far as I know) and I have Dreamweaver CS5 installed on my computer.

Your example uses straight text links. Nothing fancy, no complicated JavaScripts are used. Just a lot of manual linking.
Example: http://www.aidenart.com/Concept%20Art%20Pages/ConceptImage1.html
PREVIOUS: http://www.aidenart.com/Concept%20Art%20Pages/ConceptPage2Arga.html
MAIN: http://www.aidenart.com/ConceptArtMain.html
NEXT: http://www.aidenart.com/Concept%20Art%20Pages/ConceptPostitTiratsu.html
Each page contains a different PREVIOUS and NEXT link depending on where it appears within the site.
Hopefully this answers your question.

So, I know this has been asked before. But, has anyone heard from Apple?

So, I know this has been asked before, but I'm just looking to see if anyone had heard from Apple on this at all. The minimum volume on my iPod Classic 160gb is too high, and I can't lower it. (AKA when I kill the volume, I can still hear music).
I called them today, but the rep was pretty useless. He even dropped the "well, just press pause" line on me. Took him a while to understand that when I'm in bed or studying, etc. the minimum volume is too loud, and I wanted to be able to set it lower.
The best workaround I've found so far is to buy headphones with their own volume control, but I just can't help but feel that someone shouldn't have to by additonal gear after buying this thing on account of such a basic feature exclusion.
Anyways, thanks for any help !

Wow, easy there company boy!
I've heard all of what you spit up before. And for your point of "Well, in several cases, people have complained (here in these discussion pages), that they expect the volume to be zero when turned to minimum position" that kind of ties in to why Apple should fix this.
And yeah....it's pretty much a given that "you and I have different interpretations of what constitues too loud" This is where the option to adjust the minimum volume comes in to play. (I relly feel bad for you. Honestly. Having to live everyday of your life this way must be just brutal)
The wording would be pretty simple too. " Be aware there are many instances of the minimum volume being too loud, so think twice before dropping a few hundred bucks on this"
And, you're right. It is horrible to 'whine' about being ripped off and asking if there is a possible fix for the issue. I really do apologize for that. I should just suck it up and not voice my opinion that this is not fair to consumers, and Apple shouldn't fix a known issue with a product.
I did reset & restore, I figured that was pretty much implied since I said I spoke to Support.
And I am not at all surprised that you would say "I - for one - am not surprised that Apple might say, "simply hit the pause button"." Again, I don't want it on muteReading your post made my eye twitch at least three times.
This is exactly the reason I was resitant to post on a forum. But, I got a good laugh anyways. Thanks guy!

I know this is going to sound lame but...
