Puh-LEEZE! Don't Use All Caps!
It's considered bad form to use all caps on the intarweb...
There are some exceptions...
"OK"
"PT" (boo, hiss)
...and other acronyms...
...for occasional emphasis...
...occasionally applied to a few words in a post to indicate that you're totally stressed out. We here at the forum understand, and we can be your Logic shoulder to lean on ("there there... there there...", "awww baby, mommy loves you", and so on). However, exceeding socially acceptable limits of said capslock latitude will result in our collectively taunting you in an effort to drive you completely over the edge; the theory here is that after your breakdown you'll likely revert back to your normal typing ability.
Sincerely,
Mr. Stickler
but..i WanTEd to ImITatE my FavoRITE comEDIan BoBCAT goldTHwaiT...
I agree...I don't answer those...
Cheers

Would like to *not* use all caps
Is this possible in the iWeb Comic Book template? I've played with different fonts, however, they all come up using all caps.
Is there a way to change some of the text in the CB template into normal upper and lower case type?
Thanks again for helping me twice today
kimbaType your text in a text editor like Bean, set the font type, size and size to the way you want it and then copy and past into the Comic Book template text box replacing all the text there currently. That should change the font to upper and lower case.

IDCS3 Mac - Using "All Caps" results in yellow highlighting?
Hello.
When I attempt to use "All Caps" on a typeface (Trade Gothic Bold #2), any letters which are typed in lowercase (and thus become uppercase when I use the "All Caps" toggle) get a non-printing yellow highlighting behind them?
I've checked and the typeface I'm using isn't corrupt, etc. so I'm unsure why these characters are becoming highlighted?
Does anyone know why this would happen & how to fix/disable?
Regards,
Kristin.Perfect — that did the trick!
Of course, the one option I didn't uncheck (as I didn't even consider it to be a glyph).
Thanks!

If we have already paid for data why can't we store it so if someone on the plan is traveling or in an area without wifi if the plan is in jeopardy of going over it could pull from the storage. I have five (5) lines and 10g and rarely use more than half but occasionally there is the possibility of going over. It seems unfair when for months I have paid for and not used it all. It would be a really good marketing move to offer this to those who might be ready to switch cell phone carrier.

Barely going over your data plan results in such a ridicously high charge. It's $10 for an extra GB. That's really steep. And the difference between the 5GB and 10 GB plan is only $30. Again it only comes done to Verizon greed. (Not just Verizon but AT&T also) If someone is on the More Everything plan, it is $15 for an overage of up to 1 GB if you have an allowance of 1 GB or more, it is not $10. Additionally, there is not a 5 GB plan, but a 4 GB and a 6 GB plan. The difference between a 4 GB and 10 GB plan is $30/month and the difference between a 6 GB and 10 GB plan is $20/month.
This also goes along with Verizon now going to throttle data of people still on grandfathered unlimited plans by claiming it's for network optimization. It's all about trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of people. I have two lines of grandfathered unlimited data but if I would change my plan to so called "More Everything Plan" I'll end paying about $70 more a month. Throttling data does NOT squeeze more money out of customers. You will still be paying the same $30/month for your unlimited data. The throttling will ONLY be for high bandwidth activities, at least as reported by multiple sources, and will only be temporary, unlike until the end of the billing cycle as has been the case in the past. Of course if you would be paying $70 more/month to switch to More Everything you should stick with your old Nationwide plan. Not everyone who switches will be paying more, though, and would need to be determined on a case by case basis by the customer.
It's obvious Verizon is only doing this to squeeze us of Unlimited. If they were really worried about Network Optimization they would throttle anyone who uses more than 5GB of data a months not just those still on Unlimited Data. This is not the case. When someone who pays for ACTUAL usage, the increased revenue can help Verizon offset the cost of increasing capacity. When you have a SET REVENUE stream on an unlimited data plan, this IS NOT the case. Increased revenue leads to more money available to be used on infrastructure. -
Spell Check with All Caps Not Working
I feel like i'm missing something that should be pretty easy. I've searched both in the forums and the help file for pages 09, but can't seem to find it. so maybe i'm missing something fairly obvious...
but, i can't figure out how to get pages to do spell check on a word that is in ALL CAPS. For instance, if i type 'bddy' it shows up with a red-line underneath it, but if i type, "BDDY" there is no red-line.
how do i get it to stop skipping the words in all caps?There's also no mention of this in the Pages '09 User Guide, which I'd go to before the Pages Help files.
Looks like a design choice to assume that anything that is ALL CAPS is to be treated as an acronym.
Your choices seem to be:
1. Don't use all caps, except for acronyms, and check closely that you make no typos in acronyms.
2. Use lower case for acronyms so that the spell checker will flag them. Replace with ALL CAPS when you do a final spell check. (Acronyms that form properly spelled words will need an extra character added to cause the spell checker to flag them.
3. Copy the text you want to check and paste it into an application that will flag acronyms. For word processors, this seems to require one that uses its own dictionary rather than the Mac OS X dictionary.*
4. Do your writing/editing in a word processor fitting the description in #3. Transfer the text to Pages only for formatting (or not at all).
Regards,
Barry
* One such 'application' is the Compose frame in this forum, running on Firefox (I haven't checked it on Safari).
PS: With luck, someone will have a more workable suggestion than the ones above.
PPS: Addition of the option to check or ignore ALL CAPS words in spell checking seems a natural for a feature enhancement request. Got to the "Pages" menu in Pages, choose Provide Pages Feedback, make the request, then be prepared to wait until at least the next full version of iWork to see any results.

EDIT: See, my PS was correct. Peter's suggestion is simpler than some of mine.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged for the first app I downloaded when I use the same apple id. What should I have done to share the apps and should I have been charged? 2 months ago when I got a new iphone, i was told in order to get all my apps back as I hadn't backed up my files, if I used the same apple id I would 'purchase' the app, but then would not be charged as apple would recognise that I have already purchased the app. That worked, but when I did the same thing on my ipad 2 using the same apple Id, I was charged... what should I have done and is this right as I thought the whole point of having multiple apple devices was I could share apps between devices. please help! thanks.
Using the same Apple id and Password you should be able to download purchased apps without being charged again.
I download to an iPad/iPad2/iPhone3 & iPhone4 with no problem. -

Suddenly my mac uses only all caps and I can't restart, please help!
Suddenly my mac started using only 'all caps', and also 'select all' with 'left click' in both iTunes and Chrome. I tried to restart, but it will only attempt to open in safe mode, and it will not accept my password. I assume this is because it will only type in capitals, so I cannot get in at all, even with my OS disk.
This is not because of the caps lock button. I tried this many times. My cat may have walked on my keyboard though. When this happened, I was copying unlinked descriptions from Chrome to iTunes podcasts. I have shut down to restart several times, and my new wired aluminum keyboard is 4 weeks old.
About 3 weeks ago I did a complete erase of my hard drive and installed snow leopard and iWork 9 from disk, updated them, and only added my documents back on from a bootable backup. Then I downloaded Lightroom 4, and imported a few thousand photos from an EHD. My iTunes library is on a seperate EHD. Everything has worked perfectly until now. I do have a recent Time Machine backup. My APS uninterruptable power supply is about 2 weeks old.
What can I do now?

My old mac keyboard works fine except for the row of keys on the far right,

Hi there
Since switching my computer on a short time ago, I have repeatedly been receiving those boxes where Firefox asks me what I wish to do with this download as in what I wish to open it with? They are all to do with Facebook, and I don't use Facebook,don't have or want a Facebook account. The box says:
Opening Like.php
You have chosen to open
like.php
which is a Plain Text (-1bytes)
from:http://www.facebook.com
what should Firefox do with this file?.
Open with TextEdit(default)
Save with
Do this automatically
Cancel OK
Also when cancelling the box another one or two of the same boxes appear. It's extremely concerning and I'm currently running MacScan and iAntivirus to see if I have a problem on my Mac. I'm using Firefox 8.0.1 and Mac Snow leopard.
To answer the first question below, "this Happened" it's just started to happen today and has been about 7/8 times so far, but the menu doesn't allow for that answer.
Thanks

I have bought an used Iphone from a shop. then i put my account id in it. then it goes perfectly. After awhile i have done a reset all data and sitting then i could not get the Iphone started because it have been asked to put another email starting with u
For contact [email protected]Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up.
I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest.
any suggestions?weird.
It's so frustrating, I got my Mac Book 5 days ago and I'm already having a discussion in the forum.
Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
It's past midnight here so I'd better get some rest...

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
