Need help getting handoff and continuity working on iPhone 6 and iPAd

I currentky have a first gen iPad mini and iPhone 6 Plus on the verizon network. I have been wanting to use the handoff features but don't have some of the options in the settings menu. First, do you have to have a Mac to use continuity? If not, the option to turn on continuity under messages in the settings menu isn't listed for me, so I cant generate the code to type into my iPad. Same goes for calling. I don't have the option in the phone settings to turn continuity on. Looking for some advice, thank you.

Hi there Jfalzon82,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an issue setting up Continuity with your iPhone 6 Plus and iPad mini, and you’re wondering if you need a Mac to setup them up properly. You don’t need a Mac. Take a look at the article linked below which will walk you through the process of setting up Continuity on your devices.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
So long,
-Jason

I need help getting this program to work.

K. I don't pay much attention in my AP Comp Science Class.. but my teacher said if i can get this program to work i get an a for the semester... The program is Metrowerks Codewarrior IDE.. we are running it on windows 98 i think. She said she can't get it to compile.. so i guess it just needs to be able to input simple java programs (i.e. loops, just the regular crap) and compile them and run them...i have no clue what is wrong with it.. it could just need a patch...or we may just be going about it the wrong way...any help would be SUPER appreciated...

HT1386 I need help getting my music to sync from iphone to computer itunes. Got a new computer and everything else will sync but my music from my iphone.

I use my work computer to sync my iphone due to outlook appointments and email. I was given a new computer and got everything transferred ok, except for my music. I need to transfer my music from my iphone to my computer itunes. itunes is only giving me the option to sync from itunes to iphone, which would wipe out all of my music I think. Can someone help with this?

razmee209 is right, but if you can't get your old computer, you can use iExplorer to download your music from your phone to your computer. I've used it for other things and it works.

Need help getting this code to work

I am trying to get this code to work using "if else statment" but it will only do the first part and not do the second part in the else statement. Can anyone help me out? Here is the code:
var R1 = this.getField("Registration Fees1");
var R2 = this.getField("Registration Fees2");
var R3 = this.getField("Registration Fees3");
var R4 = this.getField("Registration Fees4");
var R0 = 0
if (R0 == 0)
event.value = Math.floor(R1.value);
else
event.value = Math.floor(R2.value + R3.value + R4.value);
I did notice that if I fiddled around this this part:
if (R0 == 0)
sometimes I can get the second part to work but not the first. I need it to do either or and this is getting frustrating.
I might also not even need "var R0 = 0". I put that there for the condition part. If that is what is causing the problem, I can take it out. But then what would the condition be? For this form, the default is 0 and then the calculation follows by user clicking on different prices. The first part is if they want to pay for the full conference and the second part is if they want to pay for either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday or 2 of the 3 days. Is it possible to get this to work with both parts together? I am still stuck on getting just one or the other working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have posted this on another message board and a user by the name of gkaiseril offered this solution but it hasn't worked either.
// all four days
var R1 = this.getField("Registration Fees1").value;
// Monday
var R2 = this.getField("Registration Fees2").value;
// Tuesday
var R3 = this.getField("Registration Fees3").value;
// Wednesday
var R4 = this.getField("Registration Fees4").value;
var Fee = 0
event.value = ''; // default value
if (R1 != 'Off') {
Fee = Number(R1) + Fee;
} else {
if(R2 != 'Off') {
     Fee = Number(Fee) + R2;
if(R3 != 'Off') {
     Fee += Number(R3);
if(R4 != 'Off') {
     Fee = Number(R4) + Fee;
event.value = Fee;

Need help getting LCD monitor to work with G4 GeForce4 MX

I have a G4 that I haven't been using and want to get running again. It has a Nvidia GeForce4 MX video card. I had a huge CRT monitor and want to use a ViewSonic VX1935wm which I got a deal on. When I hook the monitor up it says that the resolution is out of range.
I can boot with my old monitor and change the connection and then get the LCD to work but only at certain resolutions.
Do I need to get a new video card, or can I get an adaptor? What kind of card should I get if it needs to be replaced? Or what other kind of monitor would be supported by this video card?
Here is the webpage for this monitor: http://www.viewsonic.com/products/lcddisplays/xseries/vx1935wm/

thanks for the links.
switchResX does something, but it doesn't solve the problem. i can now switch to the "optimum" resolution of 1440x900, 60hz. but when i restart the computer, it still won't work! i continue to get the "out of range" message and have to boot with my crt and then switch cables to do anything. also, the fonts in the finder menus look terrible, you can see the jagged lines.
displayConfigX won't let me test that high of a resolution without registering the product.. needless to say, i don't want to pay money if the results are going to be the same as with SwitchResX.
I sent an e-mail to ViewSonic support. Is it typical to have these problems? I am getting more and more confused as I learn more about this.

I need help getting Mini Bridge to work in PS CS6

I have already tried deleting the folder and rebooting the computer, I have tried creating a new user account, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire package and I cannot get Mini Bridge to work at all. It just keeps going to "Mini Bridge waiting for Bridge CS6..." and then never finds anything. I am having this issue on both my Macbook Pro Retina 15 and my MacBook Pro 13 (Early 2011 model). I cannot seem to find any other solutions to this problem online. I also made sure that both Macbooks are fully updated as well as all CS6 software titles. Please help me fix this!
I also made sure I added it to the exceptions list in the firewall too.

Need help getting my MacBook to work a with a D-Link print server

I'm trying to set up my MacBook Pro running OS X Ver 10.4.11 to print to a HP PSC 2210 All in One printer attached to a D-Link DP-301U print server. I'm actualy a Windows user and set this up and it works fine on the Windows side. My brother in law here is the Mac user and I can't seem to get this going.
I did install Gimp Print Ver 4.2 and the printer is listed as a support device at their website. But, the printer model doesn't appear in the list when I try and add the IP printer. I did try a LaserJet 4l driver and DeskJet 860c - they don't work. In the print queue, the status says "Network host '<IP address of D-Link> is busy; will retry in 30 seconds."
Any ideas? D-Link support was horrible, claiming that they don't support Macs - despite what it says on the box.
Any insights on next steps would be appreciated.
TIA

Thanks, Greg. GutenPrint lists it as a supported printer but as I said, I don't see it. I'll try the other site.
There is some stuff on Macs at teh D-Link site, but its not verry useful. But, re: the queue, name it appears to me that the PS-<servername>-P1 convention comes from a print server with a parallel interface and this is the LPT port name. This is a USB printer and that's why we get the PSC2210 name which I think is the Windows name I gave the Printer. At any rate, the D-Link doc claims that you should leave the queue name blank for a single port server. I beleive that the issue is that this is not a postscript printer which hopefully I can get at the alternate site.
I am curious why this is different on a Mac than in Windows. If the printer works if direct connected, why does the Mac OS need the special drivers to extend the connection through a network? I'm curious as I mooonlight setting up home networks and I don't want to be a "windows only" solution. Oh, and would this work on the Mac if I had selected an Apple print server or wireless router with printer port built in?
Thanks again.

Need help getting guest access to work.

I have searched and Googled and found very little about enabling temporary guest access on an AEBS.
What I could find said just type in "the PIN number." OK, what PIN number? It appears that the device seeking access is supposed to supply it somehow and then I type it in while using the Airport Utility. I see no such number on the device. I also tried the "first one to try" method and got nowhere.
In both cases I was using an iPhone that wanted to use my network. Does this work with iPhones?
Many thanks,
-dan

This thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4088108&#4088108 looked helpful but I can't get guest access to work for my son's guest using a Dell XP laptop (using Dell wireless management) despite allowing timed access. Neither the PIN nor the first attempt option allowed him on the network without giving him our password.
It's still not clear if or when this will work. At the very least, the documentation is terrible.

Need help getting two ipods to work in one itunes library.

i have had my ipod now for awhile and it works fine. i recently got one for my boyfriend for his birthday to use when we work out together, but he doesnt have a computer. so i was wondering and hoping that he could just use the songs from my itunes library. so does anyone know how to get both ipods to sync from one itunes library? i would greatly appreciate the help!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Basically you just connect it and configure it as you wish just like the other iPod:

Need help getting Apple Extreme to work with Be box

Anyone able to give an idiots guide to getting Apple Extreme to work with Be Box wireless modem?
Used to have Orange (Wanadoo) broadband with Livebox wireless router, which i had my AE wired up to and it worked fine. Signed up with Be* and managed to get their wireless router working and communicating with my Mac OK. When i hooked up AE the green light came on but i can't manage to get my Mac to find it.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Orang Hutan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
What is your connectivity goal for the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
o Connect it directly to the Be Box wireless router via Ethernet, or
o Connect it wirelessly to the Be Box's wireless network?
If it is to go the wireless route, do you want the AEBSn to extend the wireless range of the Be Box?

Need help getting all white background for jewelry pics and resizing help for my website

Can someone please help me? I'm completely new to photoshop and I have elements 12 and I need to make the background all white for my jewelry photos. I have googled instructions but a lot of my jewelry has chain in it so it's hard to select, erase etc. I have no idea what I'm doing. I also need to resize my photos to 400x400 but when I do they distort. Someone told me I can collect the background color and then resize the canvas but again I'm a complete newbie and none of this makes any sense to me.
Thank you

Need help getting video to play in keynote on new iPad

Successfully imported a video to new iPad ( asa m4p ) it looks and sounds good in photo stream, but when I bring it into Keynote the audio is gone... What's up? Help please!

Hi Klaus,
Thank you for the reply. However, that was not the cause.
After a grueling 13 hours yesterday I figured out a way to get the files to work. According to the iDVD site (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6732.html)"MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files, QuickTime VR movies, and movies with sprite or Flash tracks cannot be added."
My solution was to convert every single video file through iMovie. I imported the mpgs and exported them into mp4s. I now have sound on computer files and on DVD player.
How extremely complicated.

Need help getting rid of Trovi virus on Safari and Chrome. Cannot use the instructions Apple sent because the copy command under the edit tab does not work.

I use OS X 10.9.5. I have a trovi virus on Safari and Chrome. Yesterday I thought I had gotten rid of Trovi, but it's back on both my search engines. The directions Apple sent yesterday do not work; the copy function under the edit tab is grayed out and non-responsive. Can anyone help me to get rid of this virus? Thanks.

Are you referring to these instructions?

If so, be sure to read the instructions carefully, and note that you will need to repeat the numbered steps in the Conduit/Trovi/SearchProtect removal instructions for each line shown, not all together.
If those instructions aren't working for you, for whatever reason, try my Adware Removal Guide. It provides similar instructions, worded differently, as well as an app (AdwareMedic) that can help you do the removal automatically.
