I want to FaceTime with a friend in Japan. Can I just call her through my contacts list the same way I would call my friend who live next door to me?

Short Answer: Yes
When they set up facetime, they either used an apple ID, or (for iphone only) their phone number. You call using one of them. An apple id linked email address in my opinion is simpler, as you don't need to worry about country codes and the like. (I have never tried to facetime anyone out of the country, so I will admit I am not sure what you do about country codes.)
These articles are a little dated, but should help you set up your or your friends facetime if you need to.

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

The Mac and iPhone sync with iTunes though the charge cable that is included with the iPhone. Through this, you can sync your calendars and contacts.
Bluetooth is an impractical sync scheme as the time it would take to say transfer your song catalog could be longer than your phone contract. I suppose it is entirely possible to implement with hacks and jailbreaking, but I am fairly sure it is beyond the rules here to discuss such activities.
You may wan tto ask this same question in the iPhone section of the comminitie here. There may be some workarounds for just contacts.

How do I save a photo after I have zoomed in on it? I want to save the zoom-in as a new photo and can't work out why this doesn't work the same way saving a cropped image, or adjusted image does. Thank you.

I can save a cropped image or an adjusted image. Thanks, Lily A.

Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. Have realised that Zoom in Iphoto is just a viewing tool and not an editing tool.
Was creating beautiful abstractions by zooming in and wanted to create a new image of the result. Have since discovered that cropping after zooming takes me a little way to where I want to go but it isn't the same effect. Will perhaps have to try to create it when actually shooting. Am doing a photoshop course in February and maybe will learn a bit more then, too. Am pretty much an amateur just finding my way.
Thanks again,
Best, Lily

HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

I heard that if you file share with someone on accident, they can gain access to your mac if they know the password to your mac. Could someone who I accidentally file shared with login to my mac if I did not have an admin password at the time?

I know it was stupid to not have a computer password at the time, but I now do. Could this be possible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
This would only happen if you choose the whole hard drive as a shared folder, and it's not. By default, OS X only sets up File Sharing in order to share files through the Public folder. You can see which folders are being shared in System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing.
If the whole hard drive is selected as a shared folder, remove it because they can access to all your files without any password. Apart from that, there's no risk, as they can't see any other folder than the ones you chose in System Preferences > Sharing

rjt4e bas the right idea here. Though "FaceTime" offers no support for Android, there are plenty of applications that can talk between platforms! Check out this website...

My husband got a new ipad and set up his apple id without looking into the implications of that. Now I want to sync this ipad with our itunes so we can access it on here, but our itunes has a different apple id. Any way to do this?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

I have an Apple pro wired keyboard that I want to use with a Windows PC. It seems to recognize it through plug

I have an Apple pro wired keyboard that I want to use with a Windows PC. It seems to recognize it through plug & play, but stops working after a few minutes. Does anyone know of a fix to this situation?

Hi,
Could you explain that again using different words ?
I am not clear on what it is that you want to do.
What are you trying to sync ?
Contacts ?
Emails ?
Other info ?
If it is Mail who do you normally get it and what applications are you using ?
People also might want to know if it is a POP or IMAP account before they can help.

1. Make sure software is up to date
2. Make sure FaceTime is enabled; Settings>FaceTime
3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

Try a reset: Press the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. Note: No data will be lost
