Hi,
Not sure if any of you above have managed to solve your problem or not but after coming across this same problem myself today as I am currently 'sofa bound' I decided to make it my mission to find a way around it.
Initially I did think, having ready what seemed like a million questions and people with the same problem, that the only way was to buy OS X 10.5 ... HOWEVER, no. In among all these threads I found a jewel - Download I Tunes 9.2.1 which gets rid of the download itunes 10 advert and allows you to then buy from itunes again :-)  I am now one very happy lady.
I apologise to all those that dont have older versions of OS X that maybe wont support even this upgrade but certainly for those like me with just 4yr old lap tops at least it means it not longer means buying a new one.
Hope this helps son very frustrated people like myself - so much for apple support!

    I have about 10000 images of different persons with dimension of 640*480. I wan to crop face from these images to dimension of 200*280. The location of face varies in differnt pics. So, please let me know step by step how can I perform this using the Lightroom software. Also I wan to know what should be the aspect ratio to do so.Thank you in advance

    The aspect ratio should be set to 200x280, or equivalently 5x7.
    I don't think it is possible to do the cropping automatically in Lightroom, you'd have to do this image by image to crop the faces correctly.

    Hi Someonewashere,
    In the article you were coming from, there is actually a section regarding what to do if you have never synced to iTunes before:
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

    my cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

    I think not.   You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific.   So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.  
    Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection.   It just might be something not too drastic.

    I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
    How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
    Thank you.

    iPads sync to 1 computer only.
    All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
    Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
    I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

  • The keyboard on my iphone is messed up and I can't type normally I have to turn my keyboard to the side. I updated my phone to the new update and I have to enter all my passwords all over again, how can I do this on the computer or avoid it all together?

    I would like to either enter my passwords on my phone over the computer or avoid doing it at all. Is there anyway I can do that? Like I said my keyboard is messed up and I have to turn my phone to the side to use the keyboard, but entering in the passwords the phone wont turn to the side. Help!!!!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    There is no option to enter the password on the computer.
    If the screen will not rotate, ensure that Portrait Lock is not enabled.

  • I have some unfinished projects in an old iMovie format. How can I finish them using the new iMovie? When I open them it says it doesn't support powerPC format

    I have some unfinished project in an old iMovie format. If I try to import them to the new iMovie to finish them it says I can't because it does not support powerPC formats. How can I save them???

    Right click on the icon and choose "Show Package Contents".
    Drill down through the folders to find your original source clips (probably .dv files). Drag them to a new Desktop folder to import them into iMovie.

  • Unix/Linux: How can other OS-users use the Instant Client?

    Hello,
    I have a question concerning the practical use of Instant Client. I'm new to this topic and followed the installation guide for Instant Client and installed the software from CD as "oracle"-user belonging to "oinstall"-group.
    My question:
    How can I now grant access to the installed libraries which belong "oracle:oinstall" with a completely different user, lets say "tsmith" who belongs only to OS-group "users" ?
    What is the most recommended way to grant access to other users?
    (in the documentation I found the following statement "the only user accounts that should belong to the oinstall group are the Oracle software owner accounts. For example, the oracle user"....that would mean, it is not recommended to put the user "tsmith" into the "oinstall" group, isn't it?)
    Please tell me, how do you grant the access to Instant Client from other user accounts in daily life?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
    Regards
    FireFighter

    Oracle tends to be as restrictive with access permissions to the installed software, which is good in principle, but often leads to problems and bugs.
    I'd say that if Instant Client is the only Oracle software you have installed in this Oracle Home, you can safely loosen the permissions on this Oracle Home.
    I'd change directories to 0755, normal files to 0644 and executable files (files that have executable permission for the owner) to 0755.

  • How can you export photos using the USB connector?

    I am on vacation and trying to export photos from the iPad to a flash drive using the connector I bought from Apple.  It doesn't seem to allow this function.  Do I need an app to help with this?  Thanks.

    Hi there,
    The iPad Camera Connection Kit can only import images from cameras or SD cards, onto your iPad. It cannot operate the other way.
    It does not support most flash drives anyway.
    I urge you to submit feedback to Apple on this matter:

  • How can I restore iCal using the calendars on my iPhone

    I recently purchased a new iPhone and decided that this was maybe the time I should sign up for iCloud. What resulted was nothing short of havoc. Duplicate calendars, contacts, reminders, you name it, a giant mess. In the process of getting this all cleaned up I  have accidentally erased some of the many duplicates flying back and forth with my original data on it. I am now left with an iPhone that still has all my calendars, dates and reminders, but my iPad and, more importantly, my desk computer are left without anything at all.
    I tried to synch with iTunes, but that didn't help. The only way I can get an event back on to my desk computer is if I edit on my iPhone and then it is obviously pushed back to the computer. I tried restoring the Library/Calendars file with Time Machine just to get back to 6 hours ago. Nothing doing. iCal remains as empty as it was before. But it now has three Calendars files all with different time stamps.
    Is there a way that I can push all iCal data back to my desk computer via iCloud?
    I am doubly frustrated with this as I rely on my calendar to bill my customers the hours I write into the calendar after I've been with them, plus I seem to have exchanged the safe, if a bit cumbersome, synching via iTunes with something that is not up to par.
    Can anybody help me out of my predicament? I am terribly grateful for any suggestions
    Tom

    Hi, On both of your devices, go onto Settings>iCloud> Calanders [On]
    You need to make sure your signed into the same iCloud account though!

  • How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

    I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

    HI Judy...
    You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
    Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.
