Making life easier with a broken hand

I have broken my right hand. I am very right handed. I use a computer a lot of the time as it is part of my job.
I have switched my mouse to be left handed. I am unsure whether it is worthwhile to learn left handed DVORAK.
Is there anything else that would make life easier for me?

If it were more severe I would recommend a one-handed keyboard. But this is obviously not worth the effort. Left handed Dvorak is a good idea in any case.

Are making, editing, and sharing slideshows any easier with 11?

Are making, editing, and sharing slideshows any easier with 11?
I have 09 and a lot of people seem to prefer it to 11.
In 09 I gave up on trying to figure out making slideshows that fit the timing of a song and could then be sent to youtube.
I know it could be done but it wasn't easy like sending movies to youtube from imovie 09.

It's little changed. If you're timing cutting slideshows against a track in a precise way it will always require a timeline, so you will always be better off with a video editor.

Making a catalogue with many products.

I'm currently working on a project for a 32-page catalogue.
I do not have any experience making a catalogue so I'd like to know if there's any particular plugins/features to aid me in this.
These products covering roughly 30 pages will have descriptions so I'd like to know any important things I need to know to make my life easier.
This catalogue is as you guessed - for Christmas, so I really don't have much time.
I'm an experienced designer and use InDesign a lot, but most of the features I don't use so I was wondering how good it was at making such a catalogue or if I should use a different program.
Thank you

The above link is a google search for catalog plugins. There are quite a few, but they may be expensive, or useless, depending on how you are working. Most big catalogs are made from databases, and this is what the plugins are intended to use.
You should also investigate Data Merge. You certainly can add images that way, and you may also be able to add your product descriptions and pricing. This may not be quite as elegant, at least not initially, but it is built-in. You can create a merged document and a starting point, then tweak it to get the look you want, for example.
Post back with more questions or details, and I'm sure you will get a lot of help.

I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.

Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
1. Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
2. Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
3. After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro. It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1- Thank you
2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense. Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle. If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
3- This also totally sucks. In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums? Really?

Making BDBG Easy (Generate ALE Interface for BAPI)

Making BDBG Easy
Transaction BDBG is used to generate an ALE interface for SAP standard or custom developed BAPIs. Once a BAPI is given an ALE interface, it can be used in LSMW for migrating data or just as another IDoc. Quite a few SAP standard BAPIs cannot be used in LSMW as they do not come with an ALE interface. OSS note Documentation on Transaction BDBG (note number 125776) details the necessary steps to use transaction BDBG but it does not comprehensively cover the technical issues that one may encounter in order to create an ALE interface.
BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI, which is used to create Activities in CRM, will be used to illustrate a step-by-step approach to using transaction BDBG.
Go to Object Navigator (transaction SE80) and create a bespoke function group, we will call ours Z_CRM_ACTIVITY. Activate it.
Then go to Function Builder (transaction SE37), and copy the BAPI to a bespoke function module. Thus, BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI is copied to Z_BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI and assigned to the function group that we created in the previous step Z_CRM_ACTIVITY. Edit the bespoke function module, go to the Attributes tab, and release the function module (Menu Path Function Module >> Release >> Release). Now activate the function module.
IDoc segment types have a maximum length of 27 characters. Each associated type for the Parameters (tabs Import, Export, Changing, and Tables) in a BAPI becomes a segment in the IDoc. Thus, an associated type in a BAPI cannot exceed 27 characters. During the ALE generation process anything beyond the 27th character gets truncated. This leads to more than 1 segment being called the same, and as a result an error occurs when the ALE interface is generated in the final step as an IDoc cannot have the same segment twice.
Eg: Table parameters DATE and DATEX correspond to types BAPIBUS20001_APPOINTMENT_INS (28 characters long) and BAPIBUS20001_APPOINTMENT_INSX (29 characters) respectively.
Also, a developer does not have the option to reduce the segment name during the ALE generation process. So in order to have an error free ALE generation happening in the end, bespoke associated types need to be created and assigned to our bespoke BAPI.
Go to ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11), and create ZXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX data types for the structures in the BAPI that are greater than 27 characters. Activate all these bespoke structures.
Bespoke structures ZBAPIBUS20001_APP_INS and ZBAPIBUS20001_APP_INSX can be used in lieu of the standard SAP ones for parameters DATE and DATEX. The same correction method needs to take place for other excessively long types, like the types being referenced by LOCATION and LOCATIONX.
Go to Business Object Builder (transaction SWO1). A search for Activity as the short description produces a few hits. After examining all the objects returned in the hit, we see that BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI belongs to 2 Business Objects - BUS2000110 (CRM Activity) and BUS2000126 (CRM Business Activity).
Copy either of these objects to a bespoke object ZXXXXXXXXX, we will copy BUS2000110 and rename it to ZBUS200010, program RBUS2000110 should also be copied to a Z version (ZRBUS2000110), and the object name can be changed to Company Name (eg: XXX) followed by ActivityCRM (XXXActivityCRM).
Now we edit our bespoke object, and create a method for it by placing the mouse cursor on methods in the object type tree and clicking the create button on the menu bar.
A pop-up appears on the screen with the following text
Create with function module
as template? 
After clicking on Yes, another pop-up asks for a function module to be entered, enter the bespoke function module Z_BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI here and click the tick button.
Accept all the default values in the next pop-up Create Method: Method Properties, and do the same for the next pop-up Create Method: Create Parameters. In the next pop-up click Yes to the question
Method ZBAPIACTIVITYCRMCREATEMULTI not
yet implemented
Do you want to generate a template
automatically for the missing section?
Double-click on the newly created method and go to the ABAP tab, the Function Module option will be selected as the default, make the API function as the default and click OK. Generate the business object.
Now, click on the method of the object and release the method (Menu Path Edit >> Change Release Status >> Object Type Component >> To Released). Double-click on the method to confirm that the Status is released.
Save all the changes made, and Back out of the Edit mode and go the main Business Object Builder screen. Re-generate the business object. First implement, then release the main object ZBUS200010 (Menu Path Object Type >> Change Release Status To >> Implemented, then follow the same menu path and click on Released).
Go to the BAPI Explorer (transaction BAPI), click on the filter icon on the menu bar, and select radiobutton All. Click on the alphabetical tab. Look for XXXActivityCRM in the list. Release status should be Released for this object.
Now we should be able to generate the ALE interface for the BAPI. Execute transaction BDBG, enter the bespoke object (ZBUS200010), do a drop down on the method field and select the bespoke method from the list. Click on the create button on the menu bar. In the first pop-up accept Message Type ZBAPIACTIVITYCRM and click OK. In the next pop-up the following values should be there by default
IDoc type ZBAPIACTIVITYCRM01,
ALE Outbound Processing
Function Module ZZ_ALE_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI,
Function Group Z_CRM_ACTIVITY, and
ALE Inbound Processing
Function Module ZIDOC_INPUT_ZBAPIACTIVITYCRM,
Function Group Z_CRM_ACTIVITY.
The option Call in update task should be ticked.
Now our BAPI has an ALE Interface to it and can be used in conjunction with either the BAPI or IDoc option in LSMW. The default values for an IDoc Inbound Processing should be maintained in order to use the bespoke BAPI / IDoc.

Great

Yes Verizon has contacted me by phone. I never scheduled a call time nor did I call them. They also are not making it easy to contact them through email. I need to discuss a way to assure that my phone is never called again during work hours without a prearranged meeting. I will not speak on the phone nor use a live chat. I want email as I want this documented offical and no other means offeres me that assurance. I'd also like to discuss comensation for being harrassed with phone calls.

Well if you pay your bill the calls would not happen.
You need only tell them not to call you during working time.
The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act states you must tell them it is not convenient.
Now if marketing calls you can opt out at the Verizon web portal under your My Verizon account.
You will not get compensation for them to call you. Nice try.
However they could just shut your phone off and then you will call them.
Email is not an option.
Good Luck

How do i transfer my musiclibrary from my iphone to a new computer since the computer the iphone is synct with is broken and no longer works

if the computer your music library is synct with is broken how do y transfer your music on your iphone to a new itunes on a new computer

1. Disable automatic syncing on connection: iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....
2. Connect phone.
3. Right-click the device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Transfer Purchases." This will transfer all iTunes store purchased music, media and apps to the iTunes library on the computer.
It won't transfer non-iTunes store music/media (i.e. CD's you ripped yourself) and these will get deleted from the phone when you sync. There are 3rd party apps for your computer which may be able to backup non-iTunes media on your phone. Google.

I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
The monitor works in my other laptop.
Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

Seriously?
1. The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
2. In my explanation it states: "I have the drivers on a disk"
Thanks for all your help!
Getting the drivers is not the problem. Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.

How do I use an external Monitor to access files on my iMac with a broken screen?

I have an 20 inch desktop iMac with a broken screen. It is the files on the computer that I wish to recover, after that, I can be on my merry way. Unfortunately, VileVault was on (Not my choice), and for some reason, when I target the disc image of the broken mac with a new one, ONE of the accounts "appears" to be completely empty. All of the accouts were running FileVault, but only one (mine) failed to be transferred because it is "empty". I refuse to believe that my files are actually all gone, because theoretically there should be nothing wrong with the CPU itself, just the screen.
Thus my goal is to use a monitor on my broken screen iMac and simply log in and access my files normally, and perhaps pull them out with a USB or something. I have a DELL monitor, and a DVI (The big hairy plug with screws I think) converter that works with my old iMac, along with the male/male DVI cord. However, when I hook it up, nothing happens. I have tried booting the old CPU while holding F7, and option as I read on a forum, and neither produced results.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to 1. Get the monitor to simply show what's going on on the mac? or 2. Pull out my files through some other means?
Thank you.

If you have a second Mac computer, you may want to try to copy over as many files you can. One way is to use target disk mode.
