Novice apple user needs help with iCloud

Can anyone help?
I have uploaded iCloud app onto my mac and iPad 2 but I don't think it is working correctly as I don't seem to be able to access any documents, photo's etc via the cloud.
The app seems to be set up correctly on both devices but something is not quite right.
When in my mac I goto system settings and select iCloud icon and then click on the question mark in the bottom left hand corner and I get the following message
Content not available because your computer is not connected to the Internet.
Well I know it is as I can view webpages on both iPad 2 and mac.
Any suggestions?

its not a specific app.
currently, document syncing only works with iOS iWork. Open settings on the ipad and scroll down to the iwork app and turn iCloud on.
Photo syncing is called photo stream. open settings on ipad and click photos and turn photostream on. on mac open iphoto and click photostream

New Apple User needs help with Canon MX870

I recently bought this printer but I can't figure out how to keep it hooked up to the wireless network at all times. RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE SET UP PROCESS every time on the printer to connect it to the network. This defeats the purpose, it would be much easier to just hook a usb cable up to it so i can just click and print? Surely I'm missing something, can you please help me set this thing up right so I don't have to go through that whole process every time to get on wireless. I want to be able to turn on my computer and print something without any set up required. Please help!

Jeff I would recommend contacting AppleCare, the number in the US is 800-275-2273. Also I would also recommend following Apple's suggestion of leaving the computer on 24/7 and letting it sleep when not being used. You can find this information in your owners manual.

Frustrated: Novice Illustrator User Needs HELP

Frustrated: Novice Illustrator User Needs HELP
Hello All
I am a novice user of Illustrator [after you read my question it will probably be obvious] running Illustrator 14.0.0 (CS4) - on a MAC iMac running 10.4.11. I am a small business owner and have to wear many hats and so I am forced to be my graphic designer by default - ha ha
PROBLEM - If I make a box using the RECTANGLE TOOL... The box should have a point at each Corner and the Middle of the box, as well as, in the Middle of each Side, and middle of Top and Bottom for a total of 9 anchor points... but it only has 5... missing the 4 anchor points in the Middle of each Side, and middle of Top and Bottom. It is the same on Text Boxes too.. I can NOT find a setting to change this.... More, when running Illustrator on my MAC Laptop, It has all 9 anchors on the box... I looked at Preferences etc... and matched everything to be the same but the problem is not fixed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks-

Aw, c'mon James. Chill it a bit.
Yeah. You continually throw around your little personal jibes, and then if someone calls your bluff, you think you can back out of it with the old "can't you take a joke?" comeback.
In my previous work environment where everyone used Illie, Freehand was a word to be used cautiously – a bit like Macbeth in the theatre.
Well, I didn't work in your previous environment. And FreeHand specifically had nothing to do with this thread until you brought it up. Seems to me it's you who has a FreeHand chip on his shoulder.
I thought you knew my way of expressing myself better...
What, you think I keep a personality registry of regulars here or something? I'll tell you what I don't do: I don't engage in personal insults here. Yet your personal jibes are frequent enough for me to have grown weary of them.
I think I was not dismissing bounding boxes as useless...
Excuse me? "There's absolutely no need to use bounding boxes"?
You are probably right that bounding boxes came with Illie 9.
Probably before that. But I can personally recall that the current-selection bounding box was present in AI9. Unlike some, I try to avoid making claims that I can't immediately substantiate.
I hopped straight from 6 to 9 and that was the first time I had seen them outside of Freewotever.
I'm not familiar with "Freewotever." But if you're again trying to be funny, you are also again revealing your near complete unfamiliarity with it. FreeHand is not the program that continually cluttered the interface with bounding boxes. In fact, for many years that is exactly one of the distractions FreeHand users complained about re Illustrator.
First off, FreeHand's interface doesn't display bounding boxes. It displays only bounding box handles (four dots) on non-basic constructs like clipping paths. (Somewehere around FH 9, it implemented the optional Transform Handles, but that's another thing.) In the cases of rectangles and ellipses, FreeHand doesn't display Bounding Boxes per se. Working in FreeHand has always provided more functionality with much less visual clutter (and tool glut) than Illustrator's defaults.
The difference is that FreeHand has always provided proper live geometric shape primitives--something which Illustrator still doesn't provide, even though it's one of the most basic of all vector drawing interface expectations, being present in just about any vector drawing program on the planet--except Illustrator. That point of confusion is common among those who are experienced only with Illustrator's chronically outdated and archaic interface.
Quite to the contrary, a rectangle drawn in a program that does provide basic live primitives doesn't need a bounding box to perform the bare-bones basic manipulation exemplified, because you can change the aspect ratio of it (and corner radius) anytime you want, regardless of its rotation. You can do this not only in FreeHand, but Canvas, Inkscape, Xara Designer, and even in just about any basic drawing module of just about any "works" or "office" bundle. It's just Illustrator that still fails to provide live shape primitives, and therefore needs a rotated bounding box to provide a very limited subset of such common functionality. You draw a rectangle (or any other geometric primitive) in Illustrator, and all you get is a dumb path. So Illustrator actually needs bounding boxes more than other programs, because of its anemic core funciton set and its hideous user interface.
But of course, someone who is familiar only with Illustrator wouldn't know that. Which is fine...so long as they don't spew derision at programs they know next to nothing about (and users of such programs).
...bearing in mind that I have been at this job since the days of Rotring pens with nosebleeds.
So? I was using Rapidographs and constructing compound rotation in isometric on the board for about a decade before I came to prefer Staedtler pens because I found them less prone to clog. What does that have to do with anything?
Obviously newcomers should be encouraged to use new features, but preferably not before they have grasped the basics thoroughly. How basic bounding boxes are is perhaps a moot point.
Nonsense. Other self-proclaimed "experts" in Illustrator would no doubt argue that bounding boxes were added for the benefit of "beginners." Again, this is not a "new feature." And yes, it is bare-bones basic; just implemented in a half-baked manner in Illustrator.
As for step 3 you are right, but if you turn off the preview you can use the pixels on the paths for alignment,
Egads. That's really grasping at straws, Steve.
...Or use bounding boxes.
Or use bounding boxes.

I need help with iCloud and restoring

I have an app and in order to transfer the account of the app, it says: "If you still have your old device, please sync/back up your account to either iTunes or iCloud. Next, sync your new device with either iTunes or iCloud and restore data."
I have no idea what to do with iCloud. I have my old iPhone 5 and I would like to transfer my account to my iPhone 5c. I don't have an iTunes setup for either of these devices. I just recently backed up all my pictures and videos and data into iCloud on my iPhone 5c. I have two different iCloud accounts, one for my iPhone 5 and one for my iPhone 5c. If I were to sync my old device and restore the data onto my new device, will it restore ALL the data? Will it delete any data from my old device or my new device? Can i just restore the data for one app? If possible, how?
The thing is that I dont need or want any data from my old device or than the account/data from that one app onto my new iPhone 5c.
Also, my iPhone 5c has the latest iOS. But my iPhone 5 still doesn't even have iOS 7, will this affect anything? Should I update it to iOS 7.0.3?

follow instructions here.

VoiceOver user needs help with reminders

I am using VoiceOver and I need help setting up a reminder. I type the name and then go into the details to have it remind me on a day and I can't seem to control what day and time it reminds me on. It always defaults to the top of the next hour. How can I change this to a time I choose?

#3 is even easier
Go to Hub settings, then display and actions and drag down, you'll see the option 'delete'.

Try to delete your account from your device (Settings > iCloud) and then set it up again. This fixes the problem in most cases.

Novice user needs help with associations (strange problem)

Background
=======
I am in the process of updating several Hyperion reports from version 8.3 to 9.3.
Each reports contains a number of sections/frames (eg. Home, Segments, Basic, Location, etc), and each frame contains several items - tables, pivot tables and charts.
Three out of the four reports are working perfectly, and when I connect to each using Dashboard Studio (DS) I can see that the associations for all the items are assigned correctly.
The problem
========
Report 4 only has associations assigned to two of the sections, but the basic functionality (selecting stuff to update charts and tables etc) is working.
I now need to enable the "export" and "sort" buttons in the remaining sections and the only way to do this is to associate the remaining sections using DS. After doing this via the "make a best-guess association" button, the basic functionality is now broken - many charts, pivots and tables have had their visible properties turned off.
Observations
=========
All four reports have the following lines of code at the top of each section:
if (ActiveDocument.Qiq_blnTemplateInitialized)
{ ActiveDocument.Qiq_clsGlobals.Qiq_base_Frame_OnActivate(this) }
If I remove this code in report 4 the basic functionality is restored but there are now issues with the drop-down lists not returning to their initial (unselected) states.
So I think the issue is related to associations and frames. Any thoughts?
Thankyou
Jon

I would suggest you try a fresh installation of Leopard on your computer. Make sure you back-up your files that you want to keep before proceeding.
Use the install disc that came with your computer, either by inserting the disc in your disc drive and restarting the computer while holding down the c key, or by initiating the installer from the window that opens automatically when the disc is inserted.
Follow the prompts once presented with the installation environment, but watch for an "Options" button in the lower-left corner of the window. When presented with this, choose "Erase & Install" and select "Mac OS Extended (Journaling)". Continue to the next screen.
Look for the "Customize" button in the lower-left corner. With this screen, you're allowed to select what's installed on your computer. You likely don't need all the printer drivers, and you may or may not need the extra languages packs. X11 is your choice, but I choose to have it installed despite never using it.
Start the installation, and when the installer starts "verifying" your install disc, click the Skip button. Don't interfere with the installation process, and the computer will restart on its own when finished.
Setup your computer as before, and then use the Tiger install disc to re-install your iLife applications. You may contact me directly if you'd like to ask questions (alter the following address): spam [at] emoore [dot] org

New user: Need help with my phone. iSync on a G3 with OSX 10.3.9

Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum, so take it easy on me. LOL I just got a Sony Ericsson W810. I found out that I need to get iSync. Aparently iSync 2.2 is the program I need. Is this available for my version of OSX? I'm not sure if a new version of OSX is compatible with my G3. Any help? Much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discusssion.
iSync 1.5 is the version which shipped with and works with Mac OS X releases prior to 10.4 - iSync 2 and later packages are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or any release of the OS. With Mac OS X 10.4 and iSync 2, came a completely new synchronization technology: the Sync Services framework.
You can find out what, if any, options exist for SONY Ericsson users here, at Julian Wright's excellent site:

Need help with icloud activation lock please

hi firends
i have be dragged by apple for last 3 weeks or so i had purchased a device in new zealand with orignal proof of purchase submitted to apple icloud team and the best part is they re validate it with the pervious owner and got the same copy if purchase from them when i try to call them up they said they have submitted to the concern department for unlocking and yesterday i get an email saying they cant do it as the shop who sold in new zealand has bought it from USA and now they need the receipt from there to make it work where all legal check up was done and everything is crystal clear APPLE IS JUST HARASSING me for no reason this why people now do want to promote APPLE when a genuine case is presented to them with complete info from seller to buyer and all documents they not ready to unlock it. i highly request every one to please raise this type of concern and get this one voice to TIM COOK AND HIS TEAMthat why genuine person are being left behind where the same icloud can be unlocked by paying to hackers who help people like us to trust them more then APPLE.

How the lock works is explained by Find My iPhone Activation Lock and Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner's account.
On YouTube you will find some videos helping bypassing the lock and get access to the contacts. With some luck you can contact the previous owner and force him to remove the iPhone from the devices list at icloud.com/find.

New logic user, need help with multi-channel inst and aux strips.

Greetings all,
So I just purchased a new Mac Pro 2.66 and Logic Pro 7 to run with it. I have been a long time Nuendo/Cubase user on the PC side of things but since I got the Mac I wanted a DAW that was supported fully for the apple platform.
Anyways, its a world of difference and I am very confused as I wrap my head around the learning curve, so in the meantime I have one important question maybe some one could help me with.
The question is regarding Aux channel stips for Multi channel instruments. In this scenario I am working with Battery 3, it took me a while to understand that I actually needed to create these aux channels just to have seperate outs in Battery which seems really wierd and overly time consuming.
As an example in Nuendo once you create the instance of Battery, the audio mixer automatically just creates the corresponding stereo and mono channels instantly. This obviously makes is a sinch to assign Batteries pads to seperate outs for eq/comps for seperate sounds.
Now the Battery manual doesnt even make a reference to Aux channels for assigning outs in Logic, I actually had to do a Google search to figure this out.
Anways, sorry for rambling...
Here is the main issue.... How can I quickly and easily create multiple Aux's? In the mixer there is really only enough room in there to add like 1 more Aux strip, if I want to add more than that I need to re-arrange the entire global mixer which seems like a crazy system, surely there must be a more convenient method for getting muti-channel audio instruments set up quicker.
Any help you can assist with would be exceptional!
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what exactly your question is, especially since I don't use battery. But as far as creating aux tracks:
• go to the audio layer of the environment (not the track mixer window), find the two defalt aux tracks
• Highlight all tracks to the right of the aux tracks (these should be bus and output tracks), and drag to the right far enough to fit in a bunch of aux tracks; you might even want to drag the all underneath the aux tracks, if your screen accomodates
• use the key command shift-command-a multiples times to create several new "audio objects", and double click each one to expand
• highlight all the new objects and select options/clean up/ align objects (makes it look nicer)
• still highlighted, over in the parameters section (left side) select a channel, setting it to the highest number aux (at this point, probably "aux 3")
• now individual set the channel for each aux track – you'll see that now you have available "aux 4"; next time you set a successive track you'll see "aux 5" and so on
• once you've got things set up the way you want, save it as a template so you don't have to do this again later

HT4864 Need help with iCloud set up on Mac Mail Client

hi thanks for you help. I had a long day of issues with my icloud configuration on my Mac Mail. Suddenly (with no changes on my part) there were issues with emails going out. I followed the protocols below. Is there an issue with my AUTHENTICATION choice? I tried external tps but that didn't work, but Apple Token is what is working). I have the box checked for keep sent emails. I can't figure this out and it's so frustrating. I have a new Air Laptop.

New user needs help with syncing

I have a new Curve. I use Comcast mail (POP3). I have installed Desktop Manager on my PC. I am not using an Enterprise server, nor an Exchange server. I would like to be able to receive, read, and delete using either device and have any changes reflected in the other.
From what I've read, it appears that you can only do that if you're using an Enterprise server or if you have an Exchange server and you install Redirector. Is that true? Or can my set up work?

POP3 email does not require a BES connection.

New Quicktime user needs help with MPEG!

Hi, i'm a first time apple and quicktime user and trying to figure out how i can convert/open my MPEG movie files so that quciktime understands them.
Is using MPEG streamlined app. the only way? cause i'm kinda trying to find a free way of doing it... any suggestions?
thanks.

You have to separate out the audio and video tracks (referred to as "demuxing") of an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 file before you import it into QuickTime to be able to edit or convert the video. You will need additional software; QuickTime cannot demultiplex MPEG. MPEG Streamclip is a popular utility and is free, and there are others as well, including.

New user needs help with HD choices

I just found this forum and it looks like something I am going to enjoy. I have Premiere Pro CS 5.0 and use it to process AVCHD video. My hardware is made up of Asus P9X79 Pro, i7 3930k, 16 GB memory, and GTX 470 vid card. I also have an SSD as my main boot drive - it is an OCZ Revodrive.
I would like help in setting up my hard drives for the Adobe software, so have listed my storage drives along with current usage and ATTO benchmark results:
Drive 0 - Revodrive - ATTO = 800 - Used for Win 7 -64 Pro and Adobe software
Drive 1 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for MTS file storage
Drive 2 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for Scratch Files
Drive 3 - Samsung 1TB - ATTO = 60 - Used for Finished files (Encore files and for saving MP4 files for web upload)
Drive 4 - WD Black 1TB - ATTO = 120 - Used for backup
Drive 5&6 - 2 each Hitachi 750GB in Raid - ATTO = 180 - Used for backup (Drives are attached to Marvel Raid port on Motherboard)
I realize that drive #3 is the slowest drive and should probably be used for other things. I am open to suggestions.

Happy New Year and wecome to the forum!
Sounds like a strong system, and it should be just fine for AVCHD video.
Suggest:
Boot / OS / programs - Revodrive is fine; you can also assign media cache and media cache DB (CS5 setting) to this drive
Data drive - create a RAID 0 array from your current drives 1 and 2 - use this for projects and media, and pretty much whatever other data needs you have for your PC
scratch / output drive - use for current matching 5 & 6 Hitachi's in RAID 0 for scratc and render outputs
all others - use 3 & 4 for backups
You should probably run PPBM5 and report the 4 "scores" to the PPBM5 site and also back here to get a reality check that everything is configured and working properly for your system.

Previous PC user needs help with setting up iphone on Macbook

I just started using the Macbook and will be using this as the primary computer. My iphone 3G was previously syncing to my previous HP PC. I tried plugging in my iPhone to the Macbook and it definitely reads it....but how do i get the Macbook set up so that it serves as "home base." I didn't see any of the applications that i previously had on the PC itunes iPhone page as on the itunes on the Mac. i thought this would happen automatically. I just need a method of being able to update the apps if need be. Or do i need to use the PC for that?
guidance please.
thanks

Your itunes does not automatically show up on your new computer.
You have to move it there. You can use your back up to do this or the Apple Store will do it for you, or you can call Apple support and they will help you do it.
