Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?

Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)? I often miss the visual power percentage in the top bar, so would like an audio alert as well.

For global alerts, yes:
There is no need to do anything before the alert appears, and the MBA will not lose data should it go to sleep. If it goes to sleep at 0% you still have several hours to plug it in before it shuts down.
I wouldn't even bother displaying the percentage value.

Nope.
You might be able to find another calendar app that can do that in the App Store.
And, you can always leave Apple feedback here -> Apple - iPhone - Feedback

Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?, Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?

I am going to a lake cabin in Northern Minnesota for a week and need to get wifi for my Mac. Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot using my Ipad so that I have internet service for my laptop?

No, iPad can become a hot spot, but if you have an iPhone, it can tether if you have a data plan that incudes the tethering option. With AT&T for example, you can add tethering for $20 month or for $45/month, you receive tethering and 4GB of data per month. If you have the unlimited data plan from AT&T you'll unfortunately have to give it up if you want to tether. You can also go to almost any carrier and purchase a MiFi unit which may work for you. Whether iw will work in Northern Minnesota is something only your carrier could answer.

Time Machine - is there any way to allow it to work with the MacBook Air 2011 lid closed?

When the Air sleeps, Time Machine stops (although it does pick up immediately after the machine wakes). I had been leaving it on overnight, but Applecare techs tell me there's no need for that, as there are no utilities running at night, contrary to what I'd seen elsewhere.
The risk is that I'll miss the last backup. Is there any way around the problem, other than calling a manual backup and waiting for it?
This is Lion.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't precise enough. I'm concerned about this (remotely likely) situation:
10:15 p.m., TM backs up, next backup scheduled for 11:15 p.m.
11:10, I put the machine to sleep for the night. Previous backup 55 minutes ago, numerous files changed or added during that time.
7:30 a.m. next day, SSD crashes during wakeup. The last 55 minutes of operation have not been saved to the USB hard drive.
Is there an automatic way to avoid that gap in the backup?

Is there a way of sending photos via iMessage on my macbook air?

Am I missing something really obvious?! There doesn't seem to be an option on iMessage via Macbook air to attach and send a photo / video. My iphone works fine for this. Help?

Hi there. I had 1 connection problem with wifi a few days after I bought my mac. But I just turned my router off and on again and it's worked perfectly since! You do get free phone support for a few months after purchasing and they help you out a lot. I wouldn't say macs have a wifi issue from my experience.

Is there any way for downloading LION without recovery tool? macbook air (mid 2011) ?

I recently bought a macbook air(mid 2011) and I am using ADSL internet services which needs couple of hours to complete downloading of LION. but when I come back to see what happened few hours after download started, I found myself in Lion Recovery startiting page !
seems that I am in a endless loop !!
In addition, Its not possible to download it from app store, since it shows that the application has beed installed already. is there any suggestion ?
I guess I should first download it using speed download and then install it !

Have you tried holding the Option key down and then clicking on "Purchases" in the App Store interface? If this works, then you'll see "Install" instead of "Installed" against Lion. Download Lion then -- it will go to your Applications folder -- and do not give your password for installation to execute. You should then have the full Lion installation package in your Applications folder. With "Show Package Contents", in "Shared Support" find InstallESD.dmg. If you burn that to a blank DVD you'll have a Lion Install disc. But since you have a MacBook Air, you could use a (not less than 8 GB capacity) pen drive to store the installation without having to do the full download every time.

Is there a way to make the audio continue when the page is turned?

Can I make the audio continue while a reader turns pages in iBook? With everything I've tried the music shuts off as soon as the page is turned. Thanks for any insight.

Latest: Working in Pages actually seems to work for this! Place the audio file in Pages (drag and drop works just fine), make sure the audio is inline (not floating) export Pages to ePub and run the Book Proofer . . . once you click to start the audio, the audio plays until the end, regardless of where you are in the book, it keeps playing. Minor victory because you loose a bit of the layout features that iBook Author has, but the audio now functions the way I was hoping.

(Bold 9900 - BBOS 7.1) Is there a way to automatically add reminder alert when flagging a message for follow-up?

I love the feature in Outlook that lets me flag a message for follow-up and automatically adds a default reminder at the end of the day. Is this something I can configure my Blackberry 9900 to do (running 7.1)?
As far as I can tell, when I flag something for follow-up, it adds a flag but does NOT add any reminder alerts. If I want to do that, I then need to manually add the reminder and set it (which is a little cumbersome).

I guess timed message is on the wish list
However in all my forms I use following scenario to validate all data entry at one time and then submit...
I use regular button and add code in Click event
JS example.....
var errorFlag = 0;
var errorMsg = "";
if (validation expression 1) {
     //true/pass
     //no need to change following values
     errorFlag = errorFlag;
     errorMsg = errorMsg;
}else {
    //false/fail
   //set the flag and message accordingly
    errorFlag = errorFlag + 1;
    errorMsg = errorMsg + "validation message1" + "\n"; //\n for new line with in the message
if (validation expression 2) {
     //true/pass
     //no need to change following values
     errorFlag = errorFlag;
     errorMsg = errorMsg;
}else {
    //false/fail
   //set the flag and message accordingly
    errorFlag = errorFlag + 1;
    errorMsg = errorMsg + "validation message2" + "\n"; //\n for new line with in the message
//finally
if (errorFlag > 0) {
    //>0 indicates there are one or more errors
    xfa.host.message(""+errorMsg);//display all messages at one time
    exit; //now since there are validation errors you can stop processing further and exit the event
//add submit code......here....

Is there a way to create user logins or some other grouping for a set of applications to use (memory) resources optimally -- for example only mail and Safari and Word in one grouping and another for Safari and an audio recording application, etc.?

It is possible to use Parenal Controls to limit which applications can be used be a particular user account.
But it's not really necessary as far as managing memory.

Is there a way to create videos 'fast' with adobe products?

I am an affiliate marketer. I have produced a video Inspro Program: personal development planned and achieved - YouTube and I would like to know if there are ways to create videos within maybe 10 minutes with Adobe products. Please suggest a quick method.

Turnaround times ultimately depend on the skill of the person doing the work just as much as the programs' capabilities. And 10 minutes for editing a video? That's just ridiculous. Importing/ exporting footage or tweaking voice-over audio alone could take longer as could replacing/ re-typing text.

Is there a way to create a new section under "Library"?

iTunes lists several sections/divisions under the heading "Library" (Music, Movies, Books, Apps, etc), but I have a lot of audio (and a few video) recordings of speeches that I would like to put in a division of their own, preferably called "Talks". Is there a way of creating such a section/division? Better still is there any hope that iTunes would ever come with such a division? I can't believe that I'm the only one who collects interesting talks.
(Just to be sure that I'm being clear, I am NOT asking how to use an "alternate iTunes Library". I want a new section within the exisiting Library. BTW, I know how to use playlists, but I don't want talks mixed in with Music or audiobooks.)

Thanks turingtest2 for pointing out iTunes Feedback. I'm new here and I have not learned the ropes.
I've been pokin' around in Podcasts and iTunes U. It seems like those are good possibilities. Thanks again.
One thing I notice is that both sections sort on Newest vs Oldest which makes sense for such things. But I'd rather sort on titles. Ah, well, ya can't have everything. (Can you?)
Your smartsource sounds interesting. Good luck.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

Is there a way to create a local package repository

Is there a way to create a local package repository without technically being a mirror. For example, setting up multiple AL box's on my network and having them grab all the latest packages from one AL box?
Thanks,
Craig

What you most likely want is an ABS tree of your own, containing only the PKGBUILDs of those packages which you want to be included in your repository.
You should already have heard of the gensync program. In short, the parameters are the root of PKGBUILDs, sorted in subdirectories (ie. like the ABS tree), the intented name and location of the repository database file, and the directory containing the binary packages.
Let's assume you downloaded the current ABS tree to your hard drive, as well as all matching (same version as in the PKGBUILDs!) packages from a mirror, but you don't want the reiserfsprogs package in your repository. To achieve that, you must remove the /var/abs/base/reiserfsprogs directory, and may optionally remove the binary package, too. Since gensync analyzes the ABS tree you supplied as a parameter, removing the subdirectory of a specific package will cause this very package to not be included in the generated database. Assuming your packages lie in /home/arch/i686/current, your gensync call would look like this:
gensync /var/abs /home/arch/i686/current/current.db.tar.gz /home/arch/i686/current
If there are any discrepancies like
- PKGBUILD, but no matching binary package found
- PKGBUILD and binary package versions do not match
- permission problems (writing the db file must be possible)
gensync will gladly complain.
Otherwise you should find the db file in the place you specified. Keep in mind that the name of the db.tar.gz file must be equal to the repository tag in the pacman.conf to use the repo.
To make sure the db contains the right packages; use
tar -tzf current.db.tar.gz | less
to list the contents. Every package has it's own subdirectory including the metadata, which is rather obvious considering the file's generated from such a structure in the first place.
The binary packages along with a correctly generated db file are all you need. Make the repository directory containing these files available through FTP if local availability doesn't cut it for you, edit your pacman.conf if needed, and use it!
Adding packages works similar; All you need to have is the PKGBUILD in an ABS-like tree (it doesn't have to be the official tree; gensync doesn't care where the files come from. Just stick to one subdirectory per PKGBUILD, and you'll be fine), and the matching packages somewhere else, run gensync with the appropriate directories, and cackle with glee.
HTH.
