Is there any way that the magic mouse might work on the iPad?
I just got the iPad 3 and is there any way that the magic mouse can work alone or with the keyboard on it? If not, can the mouse work with a PC?

The magic mouse can't be used with an iPad simply because Apple has chosen not to include support for it.
Which is fair enough. Where are you going to put this mouse in order to use it with an iPad... you need a handy flat surface... oh, I know - the iPad screen. Much easier than moving your fingertip around it.
You would put it the same place you put the wireless keyboard.
In fact the existing keyboard support is one of the big reasons many of us would like to see mouse support added. You see the problem is that when you use a keyboard you have to reach up and over to tap the iPad screen. By Steve Jobs own admission* the arm tires quickly when you have to do this repeatedly. In this particular situation a mouse would be more ergonomically sound.
There is also the issue of access for the disabled. Although iOS does have many accessibility option, at present none of them help those with severe spinal damage or certain amputees. Including mouse support means you could also use devices like the "suck and puff"... A mouth controlled joystick designed for people with these disabilities.

Is there any way that one of you might still have a pocketjet printer ?
Is there any way that one of you might still have a pocket jet printer with all the accessories you would like to donate to my disabled grandson and I for a project we are working on for school? It doesn't have to be working. I know it is old but that's what we are working on. We both appreciate it very much and will be watching for the mailman.
Thanks for considering and god bless,
Nancy Granberg and Michael
<Personal Information Edited By Host>I have long since forgotten the names of various models of printers but we have saved hundreds of older mac accessories for youth science projects. Your personal information has been edited by the host for multiple reasons, one of which is that this forum is not designed as a marketplace of things. It is a marketplace of ideas.
One idea is to find a recycler who understands the value of preserving legacy products. Washington state has an e-cycling program. Long before e-cycling, RE-PC in Seattle started saving and selling unique computer parts.
If you are in Washington or Idaho, look at my profile - that is the appropriate place for email information. Our email says it all 'recycledscience at gm...'
Post back with the name of a large city near you. Maybe we can search the web for recyclers in your area that are not just crushing used equipment. -
(1) Is there any way that I can get the transition menu to remain on the screen. I select a transition, drag it to the timeline and after I click done I have to start the process all over to perform this action on the next transition. I have premiere elements 12. In older version the menu would stay on the screen.
(2) In pan and zoom how can start zoom on a photo in the original picture and zoom in and the next picture zoom out and the next photo pan from right to left and the next photo pan left to right.
Thanks

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? If you have not already, be sure to update 12 to 12.1, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
But to the immediate questions, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
1. No, it is what it is. But, are you applying the same transition each time? If so, then highlight/select all the clips involved (all at one time), then Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition will do just that for the highlighted/selected clips.
To highlight/select more than one clip at a time, hold down the Shift key of the computer main keyboard and then click on each clip that you want in the group selection
or
with your mouse cursor draw a rectangle around the clips that you want to select
2. Are you using the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace Pan and Zoom Tool? Or the pan or zoom presets under fx Effects/Presets/? With those you can do pan or zoom, not pan and zoom.
Or, are you in the Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor using the pan and zoom effect there? Or, are you using keyframing the Motion Scale property for zoom and the Motion Position property for pan?
Are you asking about photos with landscape or portrait orientation?
The pan and zoom tool does one photo at a time.
Have you read the Adobe documentation on the Pan and Zoom Tool?

Please review and clarify and then we can get into greater details on this.

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog
Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

i shifted from a windows to a mac.. I want to add songs to my ipod tpuch 4th gen.. but if i try to sync with itunes it says my songs will be replaced by the new songs.. Is there any way that i can have my previous data safe??
Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?
It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other. -
Hi am having problems with iTunes,I have all my music on my 4s but I bought the iPhone 5 today.is there any way that I can transfer music over to my new phone without using the library?as it doesn't seem to be on my PC anymore.i reset my pc and save my iTunes to a hard drive but can't access it.Need help please
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -

I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook
If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore? iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media. -
Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC? My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.
Yes.
You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.

I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can make my own ringtones? I have always done so in the past (Android). I much prefer to hear my songs when someone calls. Thank you.
I have tried to follow all the steps correctly. I presently have on itunes 2 entries:
1. song.m4r with this highlighted on info screen but song location.m4a on summary screen. I have enetered "OK" several times.
2. song no suffix on info screen but song location .m4r.mp3 on summary screen
After syncing I then go a contact and edit it. Trying to change ringtone does not give me an option for the ringtone that I created only those that were preloaded. Is there something that I need to do here? The ringtone (at least one of them) does appear in my song list and I can play it. I don't know how to check for its properties on the iphone.
I do not have an itunes created entry on the sidebar for ringtones (I did create a playlist myself). -
Is there any way that you can delete APPS that come on the iPad 2 when you buy it? For example, the stock app, can you delete that or is it permanently on there?
You cannot delete the preinstalled apps on the iPad. You can check by tapping and holding down on the icon until it wiggles. If no X appears, you cannot delete it.
Move it to another screen or bury it in a folder called" Stuff I don't Want" -
Is there any way that I could get pages on to my iPhone without buying it again, through the app store? I already bought the computer software.
