Is there a way to create a custom shortcut key to paste my email address? I would like to be able to press a key combination that will paste whatever I set it to, i.e. my email address.

There are multiple ways to do similar things. One, built into the system, is to use text replacement. See:
http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/31/mac-101-making-text-replacement-work/
There are other programs you can buy that can do the job in different ways, such as TextExpander. You could also just create a clipping file by dragging your e-mail address to somewhere like the desktop, and then you can simply drag that file to wherever you like to insert your e-mail address there.

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time?

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time? Or even add a "video slide" into the screensaver?
My business has 3 TVs displayed in our lobby, each with its own apple TV and they are all linked to the same photo stream. Currently the Atv screensaver displays the photostream pictures of our products for the default 3 seconds. We just added pics/slides that now display messages and useful info for our customers but I want that info to be displayed for a longer period of time than the pictures to give people a chance to read it.
I tried using flickr and powerpoint as a work around but no luck. I created a slide in powerpoint with play length of 15 secs and saved it as a wmv file. I added that file to a "screensaver" set in flickr and pointed the Atv screensaver to that flickr set. It still displays everything, pics and the wmv file at the default 3 sec.
I know I can increase the duration of all pics in the screensaver to display for longer but the goal is to have the pics display at 3 secs and the info slides to display at 15 secs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not possible.
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here

Is there any way to create a time machine backup to an external hard drive with content already on it? I have a hard drive that i have used for pictures but when i try to run a backup it says i need to start from a blank drive. Can i get around it?

It would be much better if you had separate drives for the pictures and Time Machine backups.....but, if you want to use the same drive for both purposes, temporarily move the folder with the pictures to another location for safe storage.
Run the Time Machine backup on the hard drive and verify that everything is working correctly. Time Machine will format the disk for you in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as part of the backup process.
Then move the folder with the pictures back to the hard drive with the Time Machine backups.
When you have tested to make sure that everything is working again, then and only then should you delete the folder with pictures from the temporary storage area.
Again....it would be much better to keep Time Machine backups on a drive just for that purpose, and other data on another drive for that purpose. This is clearly one of those times when the fact that you can do something does not mean to imply that you should do it.

I have 2 emails accounts and would like to be able to have them both open at the same time. Is this possible?

I have 2 emails accounts and would like to be able to have them both open in Firefox in different tabs and be able to access each one. Now what I have to do is open one account in Firefox and open the other account in Internet Explorer. I would like to just use Firefox, if possible. Can you help me?
Thank you,
Phyllis

Is there a way to create a custom overlay within FCP?

Simple question...
Can u create a simple overlay (such as a square box) within FCP and have it work as an overlay, with alpha channel. Can't seem to figure it out.
I've done it by making the object and then keying out the black, but is there a way to just make it and have it work right off the bat?
Thanks!
mm

Interesting question. I had to go try it and, you're right, the shapes come in on an opaque field and I have always assumed they were on transparent. Seems they were in earlier versions, can't remember. I do most of that kind of work in Motion.
You can use the luma keyer or you can shift one or more of the color channels to the alpha.
You can use the Screen composite mode which makes black transparent but there are issues with modes if you start stacking layers.

Is there a way to create a custom display resolution on the Macbook Pro?

I have been able to do this with switchresx but can't really afford to spend the money to buy the full version. Can I create a custom resolution somehow? Be it through terminal or something else?

It's $19.00 to purchase.
Display Maestro is $5.00.
QuickRes is $5.00.

Is there any way to create a custom timecode in Premiere Pro?

I mean going beyond the standard controls in the Timecode effect.
I have a video project where I need to actually show time elapsed to demonstrate a process happening in a timelapsed video. In other words, this isn't just for editing/syncing purposes; the final video needs to display how long the events in the video are taking to complete, like a chronometer, and I want more control over its appearance.
For example, I want to strip out the Hours and Frames so all I have left is MM:SS in the display, which I've fudged for the moment by putting the timecode in a seperate sequence and cropping it. I'd also like to be able to choose the color, font, etc. of the digits display and to put something behind it other than the built-in semi-transparent gray background.
I almost need to be able to insert the timecode into a Title as a special character, like you'd do for page numbers in a text document.
If this simply isn't available in Premiere Pro but there happens to be a solution in, say, AfterEffects, or any other CC software, I would be fine with that.

Simple to to in After Effects, you can control a text layer with expressions scripting to get it to do whatever you want.

Is there a way to create a folder shortcut?

I just got an E5 and it's my first "smartphone". I was wondering if there was a way to create shortcut of a folder on the active standby screen? I created an 'apps folder' and it has all the apps I usually use, but I want the folder to be a shortcut on the active standby mode so I don't have to go to menu everytime. Is this possible?

Hi oofie
As i know that is not possible to do a shortcut to a folder but you can do the following:
- make shortcut to important applications to your standby
- move the "apps folder " you created to the middle of the phone Menu so it will be just 2 steps to get in it
I hope that helps , and please let me know
Phones I bought from 1st till now:
3210 / 3310 / 3410 / 6310 / 6600 / 6020 / N72 / E51 / X2-00 / 5310 xpress Music / E90 Communicator

Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
For the annoying start-up message:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Is there a way to create a custom default profile in mavericks?

Hi,
There was a way to do this by copying profile folders in 10.7/10.8, but it doesn't seem to work with Mavericks. The instructions I used are here:
http://sites.sas.upenn.edu/jasonrw/blog/2013/03/create-custom-default-user-profi le-os-x-107108
Now, when I follow the same instructions with Mavericks, I get a local keychain error, despite having removed the login keychain all together.
Thoughts?
Many thanks in advance

What? You're stymied? All I can suggest is to try Apple Support.

Is there a way to create a custom inline tag or label in a FrameMaker document?

I am trying to draft a requirements document that has an inline tag offset by brackets for every requirement listed. I would then like to generate a table of contents to keep track of the locations of these tags within the document. (I know tag and bookmark are not the correct terms for this, but I can't think of a better one)
The format should be something like this:
The software package shall [SRD_XXXX] be verified by the operator.
Where the "SRD_" is the label and "XXXX" is an auto-incrementing numeric value assigned to this requirement.

> ... numbering to be 4 characters with leading zeroes, as it's
> a standardized format. What hack would I have to use to do that?
Search this forum on "leading zeros", for, example:
Has anyone worked with US MIL-STD doc, and successfully generated page numbers in TOC?
There are two approaches that I know of, both touched on in that old thread:
Zeroes as tab leaders (trickier to set up, easier to maintain)
Literal leading zeroes in a small suite of autonumbers (easier to set up, trickier to maintain)
You'd have separate formats for SRD-000x, SRD-00xx, SRD-0xxx and SRD-xxxx and would need to
mind break-points so you avoid things like SRD-00010 (extra digits).
... unless Adobe has added something to AN formatting since FM9 that I don't know about.
> one reason I wanted to make them auto-incrementing was so I could add
> some in between existing instances as necessary without having to renumber everything after.
As isolated paras either in the main narrative or on reference pages, you can get this. Using cross-references is just a variation on the now-documented EndNote hack. As with EndNotes, the main risk is if you move the main narrative Xref, as it will then be out of order.
But you can have in-narrative "isolated" paragraphs that look like words in the middle of a para, by using Run-In paragraph formats. In a para that looks like:
The software package shall [SRD_XXXX] be verified by the operator
would actually be three paragraphs run together.
"The software package shall" is format, say, Body.Lead, Pagination <*> Run-In Head -- Default Punc {space}{left-bracket}
"SRD_XXXX" is format, say, SRD, Pagination <*> Run-In Head -- Default Punc {right-bracket}{space}
"be verified by the operator." is just normal Body
Para format SRD would have whatever auto-number scheme you decide on.

Ecommerce - Is there a way to create a custom product?

We are running an eCommerce site and is working very well.
However now we need to be able to quote customized products. That is the end user would have the opportunity to provide specs (quantity, model and timeframe) and upload a design so we can quote (the design most probably be a pdf, psd or eps file).
Is this possible.
Would that be in the eCommerce or would that be just an application with the ability to upload a file?
Is file upload relieable? ( I belive some graph files are very large).
I appreciate your ideas and answers
Thanks

Just if I understood your need correctly... Automatic Page Number shows the number of the page, where center of its text frame lies. The actual number may be on other page. Please see attached screenshots:

Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut to relink images in Illustrator CS5?

I know you can in InDesign but doesn't look like it in Illustrator. Anyone know for sure?
Thank you!!

Here you go, this script relinks all selected images to the same image, but it works as well for one image.
#target Illustrator
// script.name = relinkAllSelected.jsx;
// script.description = relinks all selected placed images at once;
// script.required = select at least one linked image before running;
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 7/12/11;
// script.elegant = false;
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
sel = idoc.selection;
if (sel.length>0)
          var file = File.openDialog ("open file");
          for (i=0 ; i<sel.length ; i++ )
                   if (sel[i].typename == "PlacedItem")
                            var iplaced = sel[i];
                            iplaced.file = file;
else
          alert("select at least one placed item before running");
