Maps: how to turn a dropped pin into a favorite

For iPhone iOS 8: The User Guide doesn't tell how to do this. Have dropped a pin at the current location but can't figure out how to turn it into a favorite. And then once you have a list of favorites, how do you access them?

Yes I had the same problem on the iPad with the new Apple Maps.
I have found that pins dropped by holding your finger on the map can be removed by the method described by the previous answer (from the Inofo panel) but pins that have been dropped by searches cannot be removed this way. To remove these pins clck on the search field and then in the top left corner of the 'Recents' list you will see 'Clear'. When you click on this you can clear all recent searches and all the drop pins associated with these searches should be cleard too. Trouble is it only 'clears all' you cannot 'swipe' to delete one at a time or 'Edit' the list.
Hope this helps.

How do I label dropped pins in Maps?

How do I label dropped pins in Maps? It would really be helpful to be able to label a dropped pin on a map with something like "Elk Hunting Spot". I can't find how to do that.

When you drop a pin it should create a label for you.

Why doesn't the map search locations and only drops pins?

I started a project in iPhoto and used the map to show various locations. It was easy to insert the locations as the map searched them for you. Now I only appear to be able to drop pins and label them. This is going to be very time consuming if I have to precisely search each location manually... Any suggestions?

How do you set the location of a phot if it has nort recorded the GPS co-ords ?
I cannot see a way to drop a pin !... Tx
This discussion is about photos on the map pages in a photo book. You can drop pins on the map of a book to mark a place, but that does not assign a location to a photo.
While viewing a map in a book, ctrl-click a place on the map and select "Drop Pin".
Adding location data to photos is not supported in Photos. I hope, the next update will add this necessary feature.
Send feedback with a feature request: Apple - Photos - Feedback
For the time being, you have to add GPS coordinates to the photos before importing them to Photos.
You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
See: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, houdahGeo, there are many more ..
I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.
If you updated iPhpto to version 9.6.1 before the update, you can still use iPhoto.
Just drag it back to the Dock from the Applications folder.
If you not yet have 9.6.1, update as described here:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

is JQ iweb compatible?
jQuery is a very popular JavaScript library with which you can bring interactivity into web pages. I know almost nothing about iWeb except that it is consumer level software for non-coders. That said, if you can access the source code (HTML and CSS), you should be able to use jQuery plug-ins in your web pages.
jQuery Cycle Plug-in (click on examples, view source in browser to see the code).

How to turn a pdf file into excel document and keep original format

I Have an excel bid form that i use all the time ,then i convert it into a PDF And once in a while i need to add something to it I paid for acrobat but when i try to turn the PDF back into an excel document the format is changed , the columns are in the wrong places And it does not look at all like the original excell form is there any thing i can do to fix this If not this will be useless to me any help appreciated

A PDF does not contain any spreadsheet, word processing or page layout file format information.
No "format", columns, rows, etc.
"When you create a PDF, you’re painting a picture. Your paintbrush is the is the result of a combination of the software used to create the source document and the software you’ve chosen to convert your source document into the universal electronic document format we all know as PDF.
Like the painter’s brushstrokes, each character, each line and each image is fundamentally independent, but they can interact with each other to produce particular visual effects. On the PDF page, objects are connected by a coordinate system and not a lot else. There’s no logical, semantic connection between the letters comprising a word; characters simply happen at a series of locations on the rendered page.
As originally designed, PDF is fundamentally a system for painting objects onto a page, plus a whole lot of other features we aren’t talking about right now! There’s no innate concept of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, headings, images, tables, lists, footnotes – any of the semantic structures that distinguish a “document” from a meaningless heap of letters, shapes and colors. PDF is fundamentally about how the document appears on the page, not how it looks when abstracted from the page."

How to turn an old laptop into a jukebox

hi all!
because this is my first post, i just want to say that i really like the arch community. didn't need to post anything until now, but since i switched to arch (2-3 years ago), this forum & wiki always helped me. so thanks!
ok - i want to turn an olld laptop into a jukebox for partys. it is an acer aspire 1692 (Pentium-M 740 1.73GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, ATI Mobility Radeon X700 64MB). so what i want is nothing than a fast system, playing the music. the music player should have the following (very basic) features: shuffle, fading, queuing, music library and fastness. my current music library contains around 19000 songs (~100gb). i think i would like to use openbox. but i still can't find a music player. i really like mpd but there is no such feature like queuing (for example, having a playlist, and then adding a song as the next song to be played in the cue, and then continue with the playlist).
any suggestions? comments?
thanks!
hooch

I would like to see you fit 100GB worth of music into an 80GB HDD ;P
Are you saying none of those https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ions#Audio fits your needs?
I would pause mplayer playing the playlist and open another one to play just this track, then return to the first one and continue with the playlist :-) I don't think mplayer supports fast handling of music libraries of ~100GB-size though. How about http://www.clementine-player.org/ ?

How to drag and drop PDF into Word with Reader installed.

I am trying to drag and drop PDFs into MS Word. I have Reader installed. Every time I get the following error:
I notice in the Task Manager that AcroRd32.exe runs. I know I can do the long method...Insert Object, etc, but that's way too time consuming for multiple files.
What do I need to do so I can just drag and drop?
David

I want the inserted file to be an icon.
If only closing Reader were the simple answer. When I drag & drop, Reader starts up in the background (hidden), then closes on its own as well. Even if I have another PDF viewer installed and set as the default viewer, AcroRd32.exe still launches for the drag & drop process. The only way I have found to make it work is to remove Reader completely. I don't want this to be the solution.
Is there a reason Adobe has caused this behavior? With Reader 8 installed, I am able to drag & drop just fine. I don't understand why Adobe wants to alienate its users like this.
I appreciate that you're an MVP, but does Adobe have a response or solution?

How to turn a black object into white on an image?

Hi,
on a picture. i can turn a blue object into yellow, green or any other color. and vice versa.
To do that i know 5 different ways, or combination of those methods.
1- Hue/Saturation
2- Color Balance
3- Selective Color
4- Replece Color (Similar to Hue/Saturation)
5- select the area, create a new layer, paint the selected area on new layer, blend the new layer with "linear burn".
but when it comes to black, i can't change the black to another color with any of the ways above. So i was wondering if it is possible to turn a black object into white without killing the texture. Or cleaning the object from colors, making it colorless.
best way i know so far is playing with "exposure" settings. but this time the objcet on the image is becoming blure and loosing its texture.
Here is the object i m trying to make white (or colorless). Do you know any way to do it?
i need to make that shoe as white/colorless as this one below.
Thanks!

Thanks for your help. But i wish it was that easy
i can simply select the whole shoe and do ctrl+i (short cut to invert) to invert the dark colors to white. But while it turns the dark colors into white it also turns white parts into black. which i don't want to.
it doesnt have to be plain white, i need it to be as white as possible then i can use it as a template to try different colors on it. (like the second photo i sent)
If i do it with "invert" the when i paint it the shoe doesnt look real, its because with "invert" option, light parts becomming shadow, and shaddows becoming light.

How to turn a Macbook Pro into a second display for another Macbook Pro

So my school just gave me a Macbook Pro and I already have a Macbook Pro. I would like to know if I could turn my school Macbook Pro into a second display for my regular Macbook Pro. Thank You!
Both Macs are running Mavericks 10.9.4

If you need administrative access and it is denied to you, then there is no way, as ScreenRecycler and AirDisplay do need administrative access to be installed.

HOW TO TURN A .FLV FILE INTO AN SWF IN ADOBE?

Questions,,,,,
1. In a flash slide,,,,,How do I add effects to the movie,
like an intro black curtain coming up from the top and closing down
on the bottom,,,,,,to make it look more
professional?,,,,,,,,,,,like this video-SUMMER NIGHTS-
http://music.yahoo.com/ar-289037-videos--Lil-Rob
2. How do I convert .flv files to swf files so I can upload
them to my site,,,,,because thats all it excepts?

Peace,
I will try to answer both questions. You abviously know how
to creat an .FLV file. when you load you files on the server you
must place the .SWF and the .FLV in the same folder. With that you
will create your link to the .SWF file.
In regards to the other issue. I am incline to think that
what you see is a video effect and not a Flash one. If I where to
try this I would upload my video into the time line and add a new
layor to hold my effect. This should do it. But it will of course
make you .SWF larger than if you did the effect in a video editing
program.
I hope I helped some how.
Peace

How to turn a graphics2D object into a BufferedImage

Is there a simple way to take a Graphics 2D I have
drawn and turn it into a BufferedImage?
MArk

OK, I understand now. First of all, a subimage has to be rectangular. You can't get a subimage that's an irregular shape. If you want a transparent background, we'll approach that later. First:
// Create a BufferedImage for your original image.
BufferedImage wholeImage = new BufferedImage(x, y, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2 = offScreen.createGraphics();
// Set the clip region to draw in.
g2.setClip(...);
// Draw your entire picture to the offscreen image.
g2.draw(...);
// Now we want a bounding box for your clipped region.
Rectangle clipRect = g2.getClipBounds();
// Get a subimage from your original image that contains the clipped region.
BufferedImage clippedImage = wholeImage.getSubimage(clipRect.getX(), clipRect.getY(), clipRect.getWidth(), clipRect.getHeight());Now you have a subimage that has the proper bounds to contain your clipped image in the smallest rectangle possible. The second image can be written to disk. The TYPE_INT_ARGB implies an alpha channel that gives you a transparent background so there's no bounding "square" wherever you decide to draw your subimage. Does this help?

How to turn a PC floppy into a Macintosh floppy?

I have a Macintosh 512K Enhanced and would love to play some floppy disks on it, but most fun games I find are for the PC. How could I copy a PC equipped floppy into a Macintosh equipped floppy? I am willing to buy any devices that would help. Thank you for any answer.

It's important to understand that the Mac 512K Enhanced was the third Mac ever introduced, and as such, it is the third least powerful Mac ever made, very close to the absolute bottom of the Mac barrel in terms of performance. The system specs are so incredibly weak that the only games you can really run on it, even Mac games, are those that were written for the extremely limited amount of RAM and storage space of the 512KE.
The bottom line is, if you want to play a game on the Mac 512KE, it needs to say Mac 512 on the label. If it doesn't, it probably requires more CPU or storage. You might want to look at the list of Mac games and look for games made up to 1987 or so, then hunt those down. Those should run on a 512KE. I used to play some, like Dark Castle and Deja Vu.
