With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later. You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back. My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
You may have Numbers '09 installed. Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save. Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

How does one use Sound sticks while using HDMI at the same time ??

How does one use Soundsticks while using HDMI at the same time ??

Hi Caleb,
This isn't a precise answer but a possible workable solution. SoundSource puts a menu extra which allows you to switch input/output and has an option for Auto-Switch to Headphones. The auto-switch feature doesn't work with USB headphones but I believe it will with 'regular' headphone plugs such as you use.

How does one use 'drop zones' in DVD menus?

Hi
I have Premiere Elements 4.0. How does one use 'drop zones' in DVD menus?
Thanks
NBK

There are a number of ways, but the easiest is to swap in your video the way you swap in a DVD background -- i.e., select a menu with a drop zone and, in the DVD menus area, click on the background of the menu in the Disc Layout monitor. This will open up a screen that will allow you to browse to the video or still you want.
Once it's in place, hold down the Shift key and, grabbing a corner handle on the Disc Layout monitor, size the image and drag it to position it in the drop zone.

How does one update Std Table EDIPHONE(there is no Table Maintainance)?

How does one update Std Table EDIPHONE(there is no Table Maintainance)?
Regards,
Shashank.

You should not update the standard database table directly.
through the partner profile tcode: WE20 you can update the table EDIPHONE.
u can choose required partner profile in the WE20, select the tab 'Telephony', and update the data, the table EDIPHONE will get updated.
if you want to maintain this edi phone data for a particular message type/s then select inbound/output parameters and double clikc on it, go to last tab in teh screen 'Telephony', and updated the required data.

How does one use an external microphone with the internal camera?

I want to use the internal camera because I don't have anything better but I want to use an external mic to record video and sound simultaneously, for a video blog. How does one accomplish this? I'm getting no help from the manual.

Try this. Connect your external mic, either through the audio line in port or, into a USB port if it is a USB mic and then go to System Preferences under the Apple and select the Sound icon under Hardware. Click on your mic shown in the list of input devices.
Hope that works for you.

HT204291 How does one get full screen when using air play on my tv from my iPad,thanks in advance

How does one get a full screen when using air play on my tv when I'm mirroring,.? Thanks in advance

The iPad's display is 4:3, so it cannot fill your TV screen, which is 16:9
The only way is to change your TV settings and stretch the image.

How does one use punch in with v 5.5?

Hello, just downloaded the trial in hopes the punch in functions were straightened out (my terminology)
vs. version 3.
So far I haven't found a way to use this (non) feature. I can punch in but then what does one do to
select and merge the best take?
Once I click on the main clip in the track the punched clip goes to the background (i guess)
Also, in previous versions I would record multiple takes and only the last (top) version would play.
In 5.5 they all play - whether they are visible or not.
I've searched through help and the forum for information about this and haven't found anything.
I know I can't find things in the refrigerator either but that's beside the point.
From what I gather it will be a while until there is an update to this version so unless someone
can tell me how punch in and take selection is supposed to work I won't be able to upgrade.
Assistance in this matter will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Durin,
What do you mean:
"The options to only play the topmost clip or to select which clip is played is a separate item, but also shuffling up the list."
I also only want (like Floyd) to hear the "on top" sound from "punching in" as in V3. The marketing material for V5.5 mentions :
Quick punch
Quickly fix recording errors by punching in corrections on-the-fly as you rerecord: Toggle the record button to punch in your new take only where you want it to replace the old one. Punch in and out as many times as you want.
Currently nothing is replaced, only stacked on top. Freaky when you first hear the take.
When you say "end up", should I wait for V6?
Thank you for your time.

How does one set the DPI when resizing images in Bridge?

I am sure I am missing something here (so excuse me if its a simple answer) but I am used to using Photo Mechanic and there you are able to set lots of variables while resizing. I don't understand this Bridge resizing window when using Batch Processing thru Photoshop.
-There are two boxes for sizing. If you put the same dimension in both does it just set the longest dimension to that size?
-What if I want say a 10x10 inch image at 72 DPI for web use as opposed to a 10 x10 inch image at 300 DPI for printing purposes, where does one enter that info?
Thanks,
Joshua

You don't "resize" anything in Bridge, nor does it set PPI, pixels per inch—and most certainly NOT "DPI" (Dots [of ink] Per Inch) which is exclusively a feature of the printer.
Bridge is just a File Browser. It used to be called simply the Photoshop File Browser". It doesn't open, edit, manipulate resize or even save anything.
It merely hands the file(s) over to the appropriate application, whether that be Photoshop, adobe Camera Raw, Illustrator, InDesign or even MS Word.

Again, you mean PPI in both instances there.
You enter that in whatever application you're sending the image from Bridge.
For instance in Photoshop:

What is the point of tags, and how does one use them?

I am completely mystified by tags. This is a new feature that is supposed to be wonderful and helpful, and some people have hailed them as a major improvement. However, I can't see what they are good for.
If you put a tag on a file, it is added to the beginning of the filename in Finder, thus shortening the portion that is visible, which potentially makes it harder to identify the file. If you are thinking of telling me to abandon icon view in the Finder, forget it.
Tags have to be added manually. How does that work if you have more than 24 files? I have about 3,000.
It seems that you'd have to come up iwth a categorization scheme for alll the files on your disk. Ccmbine that with tagging them manually, won't that take a huge amount of t ime?
What added benefit do tags give the user?
We used to be able to add metadata to files with CMD+I. Now we can only add tags. Is this progress or regress and why?
Incidentally, I am over 12 years of age.

Thanks for the explanations. What this means in my situation is that tags are an unnecessary way of spending a lot of time making my file system more complicated, without adding any value whatsoever. Without tags, I can find any of my 3,000 files with a few clicks. (On my computer, Spotlight has cobwebs. I very rarely need it, but it's wonderful when I do.) Now that I know how tags work, I can ignore it.
A human being can only perceive a quantity of seven without counting or grouping; hence we arrange things in structures to keep the number of entitites low on each level. You don't need to count three objects to know that they are all there, but you do need to count twelve objects. Which is why Home Alone was believable. We sort screws and nails in jars and toolboxes have compartments. Even the grocery store has a hierarchical arrangement. You don't find steaks in the bakery section, or breakfast cereal in the produce department.
Some people aren't organized, and that's not a bad thing, but no folder, no tag, and no group is going to change a fundamental personality characteristic.
Thanks everyone for showing me that in my case, there's no point to tags. That saves me a lot of time.

How does one create product keys when developing 3rd party Addons

HI
DOes anyone have experience in developing 3rd party addons? How do you manage liscense keys, is there a function module which can generate the key?
and buildingin a expiry date so that a customer can note hack a table entry to continue?
Thanks
Henry

woodwing seems to have a nice toolset to make it easier for sure... but I'm not sure that is the correct direction for
us. As we don't want to have to submit anything to Apple. Our needs are for internal use only and we would not be creating content for the public.
I don't follow the ePup process fully... PDF's we can load right onto the iPad. It's a real shame about flash not working as we can make some very slick flash content right out of indesign with little effort. (maybe the direction should be a Flash to HTML5 converter? Goto page commands assigned to buttons would be wonderfull if they worked but when you export the doc to PDF Acrobat complains that it is not compatible. When we export to flash it works like a charm on a PC.
Haven't found a good gudie for bookmarks yet... and if that would give us buttons on each page to move the user back and forth through the document.

In Lion how does one use Time Machine to recover files from one's old trash?

In The Leopards you opened your current trash window and then slipped into Time Machine; your open trash window followed you into the past. Not anymore, in Lion your Trash window morphs as you enter Time Machine into a finder window of your HOME directory, and you just can't get to Trash from there. My recollection is that Trash(es) are housed in ROOT's domain. In The Leopards the Trash icon had special permissions to follow you there in Time Machine. Something changed in Lion. Does this mean one has to log in as root to enter Time Machine to recover one's own trash ?

What is "Print to file" used for? How does one use it?

From a web page I navigate FILE-->PRINT then check 'print to file' box. Firefox saves the file to its folder in C:\Program Files..
When later, I want to retrieve the data and print it out it refuses to be opened by any known software, including Firefox!. Even Dell seems to have no documentation on what this feature is for, or how to use it. I thought this was a convenient tool for saving print jobs for later processing. Boy was I wrong! Who knows what's going down here?

Checking the "Print to file" was earlier one way, however maybe not the best one, to generate postscript code, if you had defined a postscript printer. This printer could be completely virtual and not necessarily exist in the real world. Many of the Hewlett-Packard printers were usable. This was in a time when just a few programs could generate pdf code, but you had the Ghostscript program and its ps2pdf tool to do the conversion. As postscript is a text format, you could also edit the file, if so wanted, before the converson.

TS1368 How does one correct network timeouts when albums download?

Hello,
I'm able to connect to the iTunes Store. I'm even able to download individual songs. But when I download albums, I get several messages that the network connection has timed out.
When playing those songs, they stop short in the middle of the song and simply skip to the next one.
How can I identify all the songs that didn't fully download, and how can I download them fully?
I paid for them; I'd like to have them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Since your ISP (Road Runner) controls your public routable IP address, you need to contact them to change the PTR record. This addresses the public DNS. If you are using the internal DNS on your server, it should already have the correct PTR record configured with the private IP address of your server.
