Off-topic but I don't know where to put this...

I have what should be an easy activity but I'm spending more time than it's worth.  Below is a clipping from a photo of a stained glass window.  The unseen figure above the text is Aristotle and presumably the clipping is a quote of his words in ancient Greek.  Can anyone provide an English translation for me?
By the way, my initial frustration is in loading the Greek alphabet onto my iMac.  The selection menu lists the languages in the actual languages.  The word "Greek" is not there and I don't know how to spell "Greek" in Greek!

Thanks.  I was in the wrong menu.  I went to Preferences > Language & Text > Language
I should have gone to Preferences > Laguage & Text > Input Sources
In any event, my problem now is the difference between modern Greek and ancient Greek.  It's either that or, more likely, the text is not a quote but, instead, an almost random collection of Greek letters.  The beginning of the statement refers to the human soul and energy but the kicker is the last two words.  I can't find a meaning anywhere, including one dictionary for ancient Greek.  I tried Google Translate and others on the web as well as a local translator on my Mac.

    It'x close but I don't think that I've got the cigar yet.  As near as I can determine, the beginning refers to the human soul but the words at the end don't translate to anything.  I'm beginning to suspect that the text is not intended to be real and is merely a random collection of Greek letters!
    I translated your hunch into Greek and the Greek words in the second half don't even come close to what's on the window.
    I do appreciate the effort, though.

  • I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

    Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
    Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
    Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
    iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

  • I don't know where to put this so here it is

    No problem with Safari, but I also use Firefox and successfully for 2 years to do my portfolio on Yahoo Finance. Yesterday, when I clicked on my portfolio in Firefox, it suddenly started downloading -DARTIframe.html (it appears in MacSource)- . I could not find out what it is. Everytime I clicked on something in my portfolio, it would download to the desktop again, over and over. I can't find out what it is, but when I Googled it, I got a discussion group and someone had the same problem (started the same day), but I am not a member and could not log in. I don't know how to stop this. Applecare was no help. I have deleted the portfolio and put it in again, but the download still occurs. This does not happen in Safari. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to do. I cannot get in touch with Firefox. Thanks for any help. Gerry

    It would appear that DARTIframe is part of DoubleClick's ad serving technology -- it serves media through an iframe on a web page. The question is also being asked on Yahoo! Answers, so I'll wager the problem is not Mac-only.
    By any chance are you using the AdBlock extension in Firefox? If so, try turning that extension off, restart Firefox, and see if you still have the problem at Y! Finance.

  • I don't know where to put this, but I know that Apps from the App Store can be redownloaded, but I can't see where to do that.

    I don't know if this is the right place for this question. I know that Apps from the App Store can be redownloaded, but I can't figure out how to do this.

    The FAQ is correct, but as long as the MAS thinks that the app is on your Mac it has no reason to allow an install.
    Try this;
    Trash the following folders and files; (~ is your Home folder)
         ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
         ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
         ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
         ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
         ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Restart.

  • Don't know where to put this, but cannot go back to windows 8. Help please?

    Hello,
    Please forgive me, I do not know what forum to ask this question in. I downloaded the free windows 8.1 update a while back, and have decided that I do not like it. So I tried "Refresh your PC settings without afflicting your files". It restarted
    itself, as it should, but when it boots back up, it gives me error 0xc0000001, saying I am missing \windows\system32\winload.efi, or something along those lines. The thing is, I looked into that folder and it was there. How can I fix this?
    Thanks

    They'll help you over here.

  • Wrong forum I know but I don't know where to post this

    I have two accounts here.
    I created one when I had a PC and an ipod
    When I received my macbook I created another account.
    Both accounts use the same email address
    If I log in with my one username I am shown questions to do with ipods (that's when I had the PC and downloaded itunes for the ipod)
    . If I log in with my email address I am shown questions I've posted about my macbook since receiving it at christmas.
    Both accounts use the same email address and password and yet neither account shows both acct questions.
    Is there any way to merge both accounts together.
    I know this is the wrong forum for this question, but can't find any link to email apple directly and get this fixed up.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi whyper!
    Unfortunately there is no way to merge the accounts. Just choose one that you prefer to use for everything.
    And this is the appropriate Forum to post this issue!

  • My iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

    my iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

    If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
    When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? 

  • Hello! I understand I can download Adobe Illustrator CS2 for free but I don't know where to

    Hello! I understand I can download Adobe Illustrator CS2 for free but I don't know where to. Can somebody help me out with this? Thank you very much.

    Hello Stanislav,
    to my knowledge these downloads in Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products is subject to certain conditions, for example: "The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products."

  • Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says "other" is taking up most of my storage but I don't know where to find "other".  Please help!

    Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says “other” is taking up most of my storage but I don’t know where to find “other".  Please help!

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper 2>&-
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective 2>&-
    Launch the built-in 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 and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

    Make sure you have the right system requirements before you start to update the iOS, you will need:
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

    Migration Assit , PC to MAC - The migration was successful, but I don't know where the files are.  It says they're under a different user, 'owner' .  I tried to access via sys pref/system/users&groups, but it asks for a password for owner which I don't have.  What must I do to access my files?
    My experience is with MS PC's I'm new with the MAC Book Pro.

    Then, see if this works:
    Mac OS X 10.6 Help- If you forget your administrator password
    If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion you may need to do the following to access the same utility:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu. Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow instructions in the dialog window that will appear.

  • All my photos are somewhere but I don't know where

    Have mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3   .just updated to the new iPhoto and now all my photos are somewhere but I don't know where....they are in my iMovie application but not on Photos....can anyone tell me how to get them back?  I thought I had solved the problem by  Finder/my files/pictures/originals/photo library.... they were all there then it suddenly quit and it all disappeared again?   Help!  Thank you.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Do you still see your photos, when you launch iPhoto and not Photos?
    Where did you keep your iPhoto Library? In your Pictures folder, as is the default? Or on an external drive?
    Look in the folder with your iPhoto Library.
    You should be seeing two libraries, if you already let Photos upgrade the iPhoto Library:
    Your iPhoto Library, now called .migratedphotolibrary
    and the new Photos library:
    are the libraries there? and how large are they?
