Little Features Like These Are Nice to Have

After having my iPod 5G for more than 2 weeks now, I have noticed two new small features that were not on my iPod 3G.
1) When you pull out your headphones/earbuds from the iPod, the music that is playing will automatically pause. Therefore, if you accidentaly pull out your headphones you will not miss the music you are listening to.
2) With the Universal Dock (Maybe other docks too), when you put the ipod in it, the volume on the iPod automatically goes back to what the volume was when it was last in the dock, and the same when you take the iPod out. This is nice because on my Ipod 3G I had to put the volume up when iut was connected to my stereo and in the morning when I unplugged the Ipod and started to listen to it with my earbuds, the volume would be way too loud. Now with the iPod 5G I do not have to worry about that.
Remember -- I said these were small features, but they are still neat right?

It's the little touches and attention to detail that make Apple's user interface design far better than anyone else's.

I bought over a Mac Book Pro from a friend. I can't update iPhoto and other apps as it seems like these are tagged to the previous owner's account. Pls advise.

I bought over a Mac Book Pro from a friend. I can't update iPhoto and other apps as it seems like these are tagged to the previous owner's account. It basically requires me to sign in to my fren's account which is absurb! Because iphoto comes with mac isn't it?

Contact your "friend." Have him set up the MBP for your with your own account, settings and passwords. You are not running IOS 5.1. That is for iPhone and iPad users. What OS are you running? Did he give you the OS installer disks?

When I try to drag the iphoto library to the external disk a forbidden (circle with slash through it) icon appear. Why do you suppose it is preventing me from adding to external drive? These are pictures I have taken. I believe it cannot find the original file. Please help.
Thanks.

What happens if you try to Option-drag the library to the EHD? The same icon?
Make sure the EHD is formatted Mac OS X Extended (journaled) with Ownership set to be ignored:

Flash productivity features that would be nice to have...

I am sure these kind of questions were asked many times by users, but for some reason, these features are not available in Flash, although to me at least, it seems logical that they should be..
But, it is either to complicated to implement them, because of how the Library/Symbol features are implemented, and we just need to adjust and use Flash in the few ways it can be used.
Nevertheless, i would like to have the option to:
swap a single instance at once on multiple keyframes on the Timeline,
rename a single instance at once on multiple keyframes on the Timeline,
duplicate and rename multiple symbols in the Library at once,
annoying Spacebar behavior: you have to click on stage before the hand tool appears and then you can move the stage,
distribute to Symbols - as in, select multiple shapes, txt, images or whatever objects you have on Stage, and convert them all to symbols on-the-fly,
rename multiple instances at once on multiple keyframes on the Timeline,
these are only from the top of my head at the moment, i am sure people can add more of their own to the list...
If there are ways to achieve these, or at least some, i apologize and please do englighten me...

I did that before i posted this message
But i think the only way that will happen is if i get my hands dirty with Qt and C++...

I am using adobe photoshop elements 10. my scanned photos. It scans the photo but an error message comes up that says Nothing was imported because this picture already exist. However these are pics I have never scanned before. Please--I have way too ma

Adobe elements 10 Photoshop will not import my scanned photos.. I keep getting an error message that says the photo already exist. But I know that these photos have not been scanned in the past. They are not in my library. The person in chat says I should come here to the forum and my question will be answered.

I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
Thank you,

A few features that would be nice to have

- Fluid grid layout for responsive design (why not just merge Edge Reflow with Muse??)
- Ability to create themes for CMS systems like Wordpress
- Ability to display an image sequence on scroll (so can display a 3d image sequence)

Hi Calin,
1) how does one install jRuby? Where are the jars? I was hoping the JSR 223 integration would be here: http://java.net/projects/scripting/downloads but it's not. How come it's not distributed with the tool?
- we do not distribute scripting engines - they communicate with JRE not with Data Modeler - if you plug scripting engine into your Java then DM will recognize it and allow to be used
- you can download JRuby from http://jruby.org/download
- extract the archive and copy jruby.jar file to ext directory - "Java\jdk1.6.0_27\jre\lib\ext"
2) is it possible to attach custom triggers to tables? Is there a better way other than using Scripts -> After Create?It's not clear what you mean with "*custom* trigger" - you can create regular trigger in physical model - under table node you can find "triggers " node and you can use context menu to create trigger.
3) It would be nice if multiple classifications could be attached to tables, so the multiple classifications can be used by multiple scripts.. For example a table can be both a fact (generate some things..) and have audit columns (attach a trigger >to maintain them), etc.Your example doesn't clarify the need for more then one classification

Why do albums in iTunes Match only partially download? I keep getting unable to download messages....These are albums I have purchased previously.

I have been trying to download some of my favorite albums from my collection on to my phone, and on many of my albums, only part of the album I successfully downloaded. I keep getting a message saying tho song is unable to download retry or done?!? This is over wifi and I have had this previously downloaded on my phone---before changing to iTunes Match!

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

Dock: dwell setting would be "nice-to-have"

FireFox's "Tab Mix Plus" extension offers a feature that would be "nice-to-have" for the Dock. I've got my dock in the "automatically hide and show" mode. Often I mistakenly move my mouse to the edge of the display where the dock is hidden; but the amount of dwell time required to un-hide the dock is not under my control. I would like to be able to set the number of msec that the cursor must dwell on that edge before the dock unhides. As it is, when the dock launches, the only thing I can do to hide it again is to move my cursor off that edge. Often, I do this while cursing...
Is there anything (OS extension, etc.) available now that could add this capability to OS10.4.10? TIA for any info.

Tnx for the feedback, Thomas, but what you are suggesting is imho a band-aid rather than a real solution. I normally have the dock on the right side of my screen, where it conflicts with scrollbars on or near that same area. True, moving the dock to the opposite side "fixes" that problem (so thanks!) but as I am right-handed, I'd really want to keep the dock there.
Sooo... Anyone know how to add dwell-time to the activation of the dock? Apple, are you listening... this would be a cool improvement, adding an innovation that is a real time-saver in FireFox tab handling.

I have CS5 design premium student and teacher edition, have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features

I have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features unavailable to me? Or do I have to upgrade the version I have? If so, how much would that be?

The only "content aware" feature in CS5 is the fill, so you are not missing anything with the updates because nothing more is there. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "Adobe watermarks" there is no such thing, but there is a series of scripts for such stuff.

I have a number of old 3.5 floppy that i'd like to convert to a format that can be read by my iMAC. These are all Word documents for MAC that are as old as 20 years. Do you have suggestions other than the conversion services that are rather costly?

I don't think any conversions are needed, just get yourself an external USB 3.5" floppy drive and drag the documents onto your iMac's HD. You should be able to locate one on Ebay or maybe even Amazon. To open them you will need something that reads .doc files like Pages, MS Word for Mac etc..

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet. My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses. I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work. However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account. Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses. Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment receipt from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs I've paid for, only 7 are still available from this list on my iPhone. There is no possibility to download the other 2 without paying for them. I've spoke to the lady from Mississippi on the phone 2 days ago from about 2 hours calling from Belgium but unfortunately she couldn't help me. It's the 3rd time I complain about this. How many time shall I pay for the same songs?? If you can access my music list and my past receipts payment you will be able to find out what I mean. I went back on iTunes I've found the the songs I already downloaded in October that should be on my playlist but if I click on them it will charge me again 0,99 cents. It's been 3 years I've been using the same apple ID with my iPhones. I just wand to get my songs back without having to pay them twice or 3 times

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

I just got an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and last night I was FaceTiming a family member and I noticed my speaker sounded a little wired, like it blew out which I don't even know how I did it! I never have it up full blast! Does the warrenty cover it?

If you are in the US you can see if there is a genius bar by going to http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar and then click on Make a Reservation at the top and you can search state, city and see how far they are from you.

Hi - just using the new iMovie for the first time - apparently there should be a sidebar containing tools like "Content Library". Not on mine - even in Window view, Content Library features like text etc are all greyed out - obviously it's me - help?

Sorry - I should have added that I have imported a Quicktime movie, originally created as an iPhoto slideshow.
I want to create rolling credits at the movie end and apparently you can only do this using iMovie - can you help please?
