My delete key only deletes in forward direction!

    I can't send, delete or forward my work email.  I can only receive it. Any suggestions?

    Is it iCloud-Mail with POPmail-account?
    In this case it could be a problem, because Apple Support says:
    SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.

    Move the curser to a position that allows you to delete using the back delete key. There is no forward delete. You can also tap abnd hold/select to delete entire words.

    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

  • JSplitPane - Divider only moves to one direction.

    Hi!
    I've got a question concerning a JSplitPane I'm using in my program. I add an objecte to each of my sides. On the left I have a Canvas3d (from Java3d) and on the right a JPanel.
    Now my problem is, that the divider only moves to one direction. I've made it oneTouchExpandable and I've set the dividerLocation to 80%.
    An earlier posting says, I have to set the minimumSize of my components, but my Canvas3d (inherits from a AWT-Canvas) doesn't have the method Canvas.setMinimumSize(Dimension);
    Does anybody see a way out of this? Thanks for any help,

    Hi Armyguy:
              To calibrated the screen. Go to all programs find this file. PC Help  &Tools click it and then click on HP Calibrations Utility click yes in next screen. You can also find it this way. In computers program search box type in HP Calibrations Utility  and run it.
            You may also have a bad malware run your Antivirus software scan as well. See if that detects and deletes any thing. If you have Microsoft Security Essential its scan. If not it is free , It detects and moves malware what antivirus do not pickup on Down Loaded from MSN.com. You also want to check your keyboard and see if some thing is pressing the keys. I know that some times if I have something laying on the keyboard it effects the mouse. You can also troubleshoot the mouse in HP Support Assistant . Open up HP Support Assistant click Troubleshoot then click around the computer Cilck on Keyboard and Mouse and other devices tab.  Both mouse and keyboard are listed.

  • I duplicated a picture and now iPhoto (11) is cloning that picture replacing all the other photos and only when I click directly on them I can see the real picture! How can I solve the problem without losing any saved picture? Shall I re-install? Thanx

    I duplicated a picture selecting CMD and D but, suddenly, iPhoto (latest version '11) started cloning that picture and replacing all the other photos with it.
    Only when I click directly on one photo I can open it and see the real picture it is.
    But the preview is always the duplicated one...
    I tryed to duplicate another picture just to see if it turned out ok but the only changement was the duplicated picture!
    I started repeating the second duplicated one instead of the previous one but my issue remained the same.
    So, how can you help me to solve this problem without losing any saved picture?
    Shall I re-install iPhoto completely?
    Thank you very very much in advance!!

    As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Can only connect from one direction

    I'm having trouble video confrencing... I tried searching the forums, but I'm having trouble thinking of clever search terms.
    I can only connect from one direction with one person. They can invite me to a chat and it works fine every time. However when I invite them it always fails. I can invite other people and it works fine though.
    This doesn't seem like a typical router problem, because they can invite me and we videochat just fine.
    This has been a problem for most versions of iChat that I can remember, but I'm using 3.1.5 currently.

    Hi
    Is the other person a PC user.

  • HT1586 Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

    Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

    AppleTV has no analogue connections.
    It has HDMI which can go to your TV or in theory to an AV receiver equipped with HDMI inputs.
    Some HDMI amps/receivers and HDMI switches can cause glitches with AppleTV but it really depends on the particular device.
    AppleTV also has optical out, so if you only wanted a connection for Dolby Digital or stereo feeds from the AppleTV you could connect AppleTV to teh TV via HDMI and also run optical to the amp.
    Audio is output over HDMI and optical simultaneously.

  • Google iPad Sync Microsoft Exchange - Sync only works in One Direction

    I have setup my iPad to sync with Google calendar using Microsoft Exchange, which supposes to work bidirectionally.
    I found that it only works in one direction such that anything in my Google calendar (includes all the subscribed calendars in Google) got sync to my iPad. After I add a new event in my Google calendar, it is pushed to my iPad.
    On the other hand, any new event I add to my iPad calendar is not updated and shown in my Google calendar. This means the sync works only in one direction:
    Google Calendar Event --- sync ---> iPad (works perfectly and the event is pushed almost pushed instantly)
    iPad Calendar Event. --- sync ---> Google Calendar << FAILED >> (Event entered to my iPad never shows in the Google Calendar)
    Sync works unidirectionally but not bidirectionally
    Anyone has encounter this problem and is there any solution?
    iPad   iOS 3.1   PC Windows 7 / using Google & iPad Calendar  

    I am having the same problem. Would be good to have a solution.
