NEWBIE NEEDS HELP - NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE PLACE FOR THIS BUT

Does anyone know where I can get an application that creates downloadable files like zip files - preferably that can be used for Mac or PC? I know WinZip or something does it but is there one for Mac?
Contact me at [email protected] if you can help. Thanks

Here is a link that will take you to Allume Systems. Check out "Stuffit Deluxe", a highly flexible application that will let you compress and expand many formats for both Mac and PC platforms.
One note of caution: I and others have had problems with using the "background" apps that come with the package. Both compressing and expanding have always been flawless for me. I consider Stuffit a must have on my machines and have had had it since the late 1980's.

  • This is probably not the place for it but I need t...

    So here's the story, a friend of mine had some problems with her Nokia n900, living in Canada we had to buy it from an asian mall but it sill had the warranty and everything so cool. Anyway, she calls Nokia in Canada, they send her a box with shipping and everything, cool so far, right?
    Wrong, they then send the unit back with a broken screen and pry marks where they tried to get into it. She calls them, obviously furious and they tell her they can't do anything and the reason she sent it back was because it's an American model. They told her to contact Nokia in the US, so she did.
    Chapter 2: they at first, without even looking at it, say they can't do anything, then after talking to a supervisor she finally gets them to consider it, supervisor says she will call back... 3 weeks later no call, so we try calling them and the supervisor is never there and there are no notes on the account.
    Eventually we get in contact with her and she says to send the phone in and they will replace it, awesome! Only not... We send it in using the directions they told us to follow, but the person who received it never read any of the directions, they just opened it and fixed it, then wanted us to pay shipping back. (like $30). Since we were told that the unit would be replaced this made us pretty mad, and now they were absolutely refusing to replace it. 
    We eventually get a hold of the supervisor again who said she would try to sort it out, we get a phone call weeks later saying its been replaced and shipped out.
    She opens the box... And its the same one but with a new screen.
    After trying to call Nokia back about it, they are refusing to replace it now that we have it.
    Now she doesn't want to have to deal with it anymore but I am getting pretty upset... .
    If anyone can offer me any assistance or where I could post this to get assistance, that would be great.

    Hi kampai12,
    and sorry for the late reply. There's not much that we in the Nokia Discussions team directly can do, but we can get you in touch with the Care team in Canada to re-open the discussion with them.
    Just email us with your contact details (and any other related relevant information, like possible case numbers) to [email protected] and we'll ask them to be in touch. Please refer to this thread in your email.
    I wrote all my posts from 2005-2011 as an "Admin" for this community. I still work for Nokia as an external consultant, so my rank in all posts is now "Employee".

    After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

    I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
    I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
    The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
    Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
    Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
    Thank you.

    Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
    Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
    Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder  or something else, such as Anything.
    If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
    If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the  Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
    Relaunch the Finder.
    If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
    Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

  • All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

    All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

    Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

  • I'm having issues loading Youtube on my MacBook Pro for about a week now.  I'm not sure if this is because of my computer or internet but my sister's PC loads Youtube completely fine.  Can someone help me figure this out?

    I'm having issues loading Youtube on my MacBook Pro for about a week now.  I'm not sure if this is because of my computer or internet but my sister's PC loads Youtube completely fine.  Can someone help me figure this out?

    Hi, I had been having the same problem for over a week, but both my window's HP and my 2011 macbook pro barely could load youtube.  What kind of router you have?  I was using a belkin play router that was only 8 months old, switched to a new AirPort Extreme Base Station and now everything works perfect.

  • Not sure if this is my phone or network that's the problem, but I keep getting messages saying I don't have any voicemails. Any help to make it stop will be appreciated!!

    I'm not sure if this is an issue with my phone or with Vodafone, but I am getting a message every minute to tell me I don't have any voicemails. I'm pretty sure it's not spam as it comes from my normal voicemail number and doesn't show as multiple messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's driving me mental!!

    voicemail is a carrier feature, not an Apple feature, contact your carrier.

  • Please Help! My battery won't charge. Not sure if this is my battery or the charger causing the problem.

    I recently came down to Costa Rica to do some work abroad and last week my battery display showed it wouldn't charge higher than 15%. I've kept the charger plugged in to avoid a total shut down and everytime I do unplug I lose power. I'm not sure if this is my battery or the charger that is faulty. I'm now at 8% power and freaking out as I have work to do and I'm nowhere near an apple store or certified repair shop. I can keep my charger plugged in but must find a solution. A new charger or battery can possibly be brought to me from San Jose but I must know asap to request the product.
    Any help is SOOO greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.
    Some Details on my computer...

    Hi Riyanna.  Do you have the mag safe power cord with you and will it turn on with it?  With it plugged in you should be able to go to the top right screen menu and click on battery. It should say power source power adapter. It maybe grayed out , but that is ok. That means your power adapter is working. Then it will not hurt to run the SMC reset  or pram reset. The other thing is if you are using an Aplle power supply there will be a green light showing on it.

  • MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing wirelessly to XP shared printer

    MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing to XP shared printer
    Bear with me please. I read tons of articles on this but somehow as a newbie to MAC (girlfriends sick daughter), I am missing something. 10.5.2
    Currently, she can print directly if we plug in the HP Deskjet printer directly via USB to the MACBook. No problem.
    When we first got the MACBOOK I tried setting up the MACBOOK wirelessly to recognize the workgroup where the printer was attached via USB to the Windows XP PC. However it printed out garbage since I did not know there was a difference between XP printing and MAC (Gutenberg/gimp printing/drivers).
    Now I know there is a difference.
    But in reading various instructions, I no longer can find how to connect the MAC to the Windows workgroup. Note we do have a printer set up currently as USB-HP Deskjet on the Macbook (not sure I need to delete it yet).
    I went to System Preferences on MACBOOK and clicked on printers, more printers. In the drop down box was CANON, APPLETALK, IP HP printing and Firewire. There was no WINDOWS selection as I saw in other online web instructions.
    So not sure how to proceed to find a way to:
    1. Connect to Windows workgroup (click on what exactly), step by step please!!
    2. Add correct HP Deskjet 5490 printer (perhaps there is one with Gutenberg or perhaps I need Gutenprint-really not sure what I am talking about)
    Thanks so much in advance. Fiancé's kid has had her cancer recur in a different place and someone was nice enough to buy her a MACBOOK as a gift.
    Sincerely
    Peter

    OK...I figured it out...no need to reply.  I noticed that there was another Protocol to use to set up the printer on the Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-socket, and it prints fine...thanks.  I am curious as to why LPD wouldn't work; if anyone has that answer I would like to know...thanks
    Any chance of posting the Protocol you used to connect to your printer with your laptop?  I'm have the exact same problem printing from my MB.  Same error message "..is busy".

  • Not sure if this is the right place...Recovery or Finding missing files

    Hi,
    Again, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but its worth a shot.
    so i've been transcribing video all day using microsoft office for mac, and was saving the project (i thought) to an external hard drive. at one point the HD came unplugged, and i plugged it back in. no big deal. i continued to save, to type, save, type, etc until finished. so when i finished and saved the project, seemed okay. when i closed word, it kept asking me if i wanted to save changes...i said yes, and it would just ask me again, did this a few times. i assumed it was asking me to save it to a new location, which i didn't think i needed so finally said no.
    i then find out that somehow when the HD was unplugged it erased Words ability to save to said location. so my last save was really before the HD was removed, which is odd, because i kept saving and never was prompted the path was interrupted or anything.
    so my question is two part...
    1. where would i find in the depths of the computer the saved files? if i was saving, they had to have gone somewhere, but i dont know how to find them.
    2. also, assuming it wasnt saving, my word prefs say it autosaves every 5 minutes, so those files must exist somewhere also, yet can't find them...
    does this make sense, can anyone help me?
    thanks

    Hi there,
    In Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists.
    See if it may be in one of those with a 1 or 2 added to it.

  • Newbie needs help comprehending CSS Password Manager functions

    Hello All:
    I own a TP W500 4062-27U running Windows 7 Ultimate.  The computer is trouble-free.
    I am seeking a solution to the following need:  An application that will securely remember my passwords for various websites, etc. and enable me to log in using the fingerprint reader or similar.
    I am aware that Lenovo provides both Fingerprint Reader software and Client Security Solution software, but I don't know whether or not either one (or both) of these applications will provide the functionality I am seeking.  I have spent a fair bit of time looking around the Lenovo website, but cannot find a document that describes (in a general, overview manner) the functionality that CSS provides.
    I don't need to log into VPNs, or company networks, or anything really fancy like that - I just need something that will enable me to log into about 20 different websites, using a different password for each website.  Right now, I'm generally using the same password for every website (that way, I can remember what it is), and as I think you will agree, that is probably not a very good practice so far as security is concerned.
    If anyone could point me towards a document that explains how I can get CSS to do what I want it to do, I would be very grateful.  If CSS does not have the functionality I am seeking, I would very much appreciate a recommendation of software - possibly non-Lenovo - that does provide the functionality I am seeking.
    Thanks very much for your assistance.
    Michael

    Hi PanEuropean2,
    Welcome to Lenovo Forum!
    In regard to your question, Client Security Solution (CSS) should be the right fit for you.
    I have a T410 with Win 7, and have several passwords to remember which is really killing me. However, by using CSS, Fingerprint software and Password Manager, I need to enter all the passwords only once when access a website or a tool, and let it saved in CSS.
    The next time i turn on the machine and open up a website which needs user ID and password, I just need to swipe the fingerprint that I've enrolled, then viola!
    Just take note that after the first swipe of fingerprint, tools or website that are to be accessed later will automatically show the password in the box directly without having to swipe fingerprint again. You just need to click to log in. I"m not sure if this is the experience you're looking for, however, no harm to give it a try.
    Here's the user guide for CSS. It has
    Client Security Solution components
    Client Security Solution installation considerations
    Client Security Solution features
    Hope this helps
    Cheers,
