Silly question - I should know this ....

When my Mac boots, I have a couple of servers which are in the login items, so they auto-mount on the desktop. One is the Time Capsule disc and another is a Windoze PC shared drive. All works fine.
The only annoying bit is that on boot, the servers auto mount and open a finder window to show the contents - even if I close the window down before shutdown, or anything else, the same windows pop up on automount.
Anyone know what I need to do so just the server icons mount, but the annoying Finder window don't appear ?
Thanks

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter:
delay 5--time in seconds
tell application "Finder"
close window 1
close window 1
end tell
Save it as an application and add it as a login item.

I should know this by now

Ive been using logic for a while now and this has never been a problem. When I record audio lets say vocals and I have the overlap option on, when we swing around for a new take because he or she mess up why does the audio underneath not go away. Answer: Because I have overlap on. True or False. Ok so now we lay vocals again he needs two tracks to get his 16 bars down. So after all is said and done I try to slice the start and end points so I can combine the tracks, But the other takes are getting in the way. Like when I select a certain region to move it, the other mistakes start to show and I cant seem to get rid of them. From now on Im going to delete any take we dont use right then and there during the time of recording. Im not into being spoon feed, just help me define what it is Im doing so I can know what to look for in the manual. Is it under managing audio or what. Thanks to all. I know this is something by now I should understand but hay what can I say.

FYI, you probably would benefit from using "replace mode". This is enabled by clicking on the orange X in the transport.
This will make Logic behave more like a tape machine, in that any punch ins will replace the audio its recording over. The main difference from a tape machine though, is that the audio is still on the hard drive. You can either simply undo, or "peel back" the original audio.
Also, understanding that Logic can have many tracks assigned to the same audio object will help here, if you were unaware.
So each time you take a new pass at the vocal, simply mute the previous track, and record on the new track (same audio object) This way, you don't have multiple passes piling up on top of each other, should you decide to work that way.

Silly question. should I turn my mouse keyboard off?

... or should I leave it on all the time like I've been doing. after reading misery posts about repairing, etc, I'm hesitant to turn it off because I might encounter some problem.

Hello Jerry:
There are few silly questions - answers, yes!
I leave both my wireless keyboard and mouse on all the time. If they are Apple, they go into a very low power mode a short time after they are idle.
I have seen nothing that indicates that battery life is significantly extended by turning them off.

Uh. Silly question. I know. Case number?

What and where can I find the case number or dispatch number for my iPod mini? I've tried all the numbers on the box. I've been trying to get an online service request to fix my mini. So if you can, someone answer my question.
Please and Thank You.

Thanks anyway.
Hmm.. still not sure what the case or dispatch number is so what number would I call for help if:
My iPod shows a sad face iPod with an exclamation point near it and at the bottom of the screen says "www.apple.com/support/ipod". I've tried to restore it, but I can't get the iPod mini into disk mode and my computer won't recognize it. It shows a battery and lightning bolt near it with no animation of charging, but I've been charging it for over an hour. This still doesn't charge it so it can be found by the computer.
Again, what number could I call for help with this problem and request a shipping box to have my iPod mini checked?
Please and Thank You.

I should know this by now–timed out port?

I recently moved and I can no longer receive/send mail from my MacBook Pro.
When I click on the triangle to the right of my Inbox, the following message pops up:
Unable to Connect
There may be a problem with the mail server or network.
Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server
"p03-imap.mail.me.com" on port 993 timed out.
STAY OFFLINE TAKE ALL ACCOUNTS ONLINE
I'm not sure I've ever seen the p03- in my incoming mail server address before. My instinct would be to go in and try and delete that but the entire box is gray-ed over so it cannot be changed nor edited.

Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

'''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
Solution:
I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.

I should know this...

I can't seem to find where I can adjust the number of rings (or time) my iPhone rings until voice mail kicks in... that, combined with (in my opinion) the low volume of the iPhone... I'm always missing calls. Surely there must be a way to do this???

You might want to also refer to this thread about ringer volume resetting itself and some fixes that people are trying: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1599434&tstart=125

I should know this but is iLife included with Lion?

I have a 2008 iMac 24" and upgraded to Lion today, iLife 08 was installed when I received the machine and I never upgraded to iLife 09. After upgrading this morning I was surprised to see that ILife 11 did not appear, was iLife 11 including in the Lion install? Is there something I am missing on upgrading to the newest version of iLife. Thanks.

bobwild wrote:
iLife and Lion are independent of each other. You upgraded Lion and that does not include iLife. You have to upgrade ($$$) to iLife 11 if you want it.
With the App Store, you can now select the iLife App's you want, so if only iPhoto is needed, cost is $15

Display a tooltip over a word [was: I should know this....]

I don't remember what it's called or how to do it.
I want to create a little text bubble that appears on mouseover a particular word, similar to the Alt text that appears upon mouseover an image.
The word I want to mouseover may or may not be a link - not sure yet.
Thanks for your help.

The delay is set automatically by the browser. To get a faster response, you can use CSS. You'll find a lot of results if you Google "CSS tooltips".
Unfortunately, IE6 supports the :hover pseudo-class only on links. If you're using Dreamweaver CS4, you can use the Spry Tooltip widget, which works cross-browser (as long as JavaScript is enabled).

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home. Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached. Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

Help, i have a silly question i know ur gonna laugh

hi
i know this is a silly question but i have a ipod and i was wondering if there was software that could be downloaded so that u can watch videos if u dont have an ipod which has that facility
thanks

If you don't have an iPod video, you won't be able to watch videos.
iPodLinux does exist; however, it is only supported on 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation iPods (the non-clickwheel models) and does not enable videos
If you want to check it out, vist www.ipodlinux.org.

Hi, I don't really know wether I should post this message in the iPad sect

Hi,
I don't really know wether I should post this message in the iPad section or in this section... Anyway.
Here is my problem :
I would like to stream music from my iPad to my living room soundsystem, so I bought an Airport Express. BUT my router is upstairs, and I can't set up a permanent Ethernet connection between my router & Airport Express.
So my question is : Is it possible to set up the Airport Express as a "distinct network" (not connected to the internet) and Have the iPad connect on Both networks ?
* my usual LAN to surf the net & everything else
* The airport Network to stream music to the soundsystem
If my setup is wrong, i'm obviously open to any advice... Just keep in mind that I can't have a wired connection between the Airport Express & the Router...
Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Before to close this topic and mark it as solved, I will explain the whole process, so if you find this, you can try it directly... French version hereunder.
Hardware setup :
- Bbox2 Modem router provided by my ISP
- PC with latest version of Airport Utility
- Airport Express connected to amplifier (Jack - Double RCA) and to the router through Ethernet (the whole purpose of this is to remove this Ethernet cable).
Before you begin :
Open your router configuration utility (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in your browser). Change your network password (by default, mine was the 26 characters WEP key - 13 letters and 13 numbers). Choose a 13 characters password. I chose one with 7 letters followed by 6 numbers. Waring : This operation might (should ?) crash your current internet connexion and you may experience problems reconnectiong. Under Win 7, Go to the properties --> security of your network to type your new password & connect again.
Once this is done :
1. Open the Airport Utility on your computer
2. Do a "hard reset" of the Airport Express" (AE) using a pen or a paperclip --> the AE disappears from the Airport utility, then shows up again.
3. Select "replace the settings with default settings" to clean up the mess your previous attempts might have caused
4. You're back to the default configuration
5. On the Airport utility window you see now, invent a new password for the AE & clic continue
6. Select "I want AE to join my current network" (3rd option), clic on "Continue".
7. Select "I want AE to wirelessly join my current network" (1st Option), clic on continue
8. Select your network in the drop down menu and select "WEP 128 bits" as encryption mode (Your network obviously has to use WEP encryption. If it's not the case, go back to your router management utility and set the security to WEP or write another tutorial
9. Clic on "Update"
10. Watch your LAN crash
11. Say "What the F**" and unplug the Ethernet cable from the AE. Your LAN should get better very quickly.
12. Accidentally unplug the AE from the wall. Plug it again quickly with 2 or 3 "Sh** !"
You're done !
French version :
Préalable :
Configuration hardware :
- Modem router Bbox2 fourni par mon FAI (Belgacom)
- PC avec la dernière version de Airport Utility
- Airport Express connecté à un ampli (Jack - Double cinch) et au routeur via un câble Ethernet (le but de la manoeuvre est de virer ledit câble Ethernet)
Ouvrir l'utilitaire de configuration de votre routeur (192.198.1.1 dans le navigateur par exemple) et changer là le mot de passe du réseau (anciennement chez moi : la clé WEP de 26 caractères) en choisissant un mot de passe d'exactement 13 caractères (chiffres et lettres mêlées ont fonctionné pour moi). Attention, cette opération peut avoir des retombées un peu bizarres sur votre connexion... Deux redémarrages de Bbox et pas mal d'essais de reconnexion m'ont été nécessaires.
Une fois cela fait :
1. Ouvrez l'Airport utility
2. Opérez un Hard reset de l'airport avec un trombone --> l'AE disparait de l'utility, puis réapparaît
3. Sélectionner "Replace the settings with default settings" histoire de virer tout merdier d'essais précédents.
4. Vous êtes de retour à la configuration "de base"
5. Sur l'écran qui s'affiche alors, inventez un nouveau mot de passe pour l'AE puis Cliquez sur "continuer"
6. Sélectionnez "I want Export Express to Join my current network (3ième option)" puis cliquez sur "continuer"
7. Choisissez "I want AE to wirelessly Join my current network (1ière option)" puis cliquez sur "continuer"
8. Sélectionnez votre réseau dans la liste déroulante et sélectionnez "WEP" comme mode de cryptage (il faut évidemment que votre réseau soit crypté en WEP. Si ce n'est pas le cas, passez en WEP ou faites un nouveau tuto...
9. Cliquez sur "Update"
10. Regardez votre réseau local se planter en beauté...
11. Débranchez le câble de l'AE. Le réseau local devrait se sentir beaucoup mieux
12. Retirez accidentellement l'AE de la prise. Rebranchez-le vite fait avec 2-3 "Mert".
You're done !

I know this is the wrong forum, but- (Mac question)

I know this is the wrong forum, but…
Can anyone enlighten me?
How did a folder named just "Adobe", containing only something called "Acrobat.com.app"), end up in my root Applications folder?
Double clicking on "Acrobat.com.app" launches an installer that wants to install something called "AIR". What is that and what is it needed for?
What forum should I be posting this in?
A global search and searches in the Acrobat Macintosh forum were not helpful.
Can I just delete that Adobe folder or ignore it? It has identical Creation and Modified dates of January 15, 2010 17:56, which raises more questions than it answers.
Any input will be appreciated.

…<snip>…
P.S. what I wrote above is about the Windows version; I assume that the Mac versions are the same.
Maybe… kinda, sorta… There are no ".exe" files in the Mac world.
I've never downloaded or installed either Acrobat.com or Adobe AIR. It has to have been the Acrobat Reader 9.3 update for the Mac that installed that sucker on my Mac. I had certainly never seen it before.
That, on top of the inexcusable, abominably surreptitious "Growl" installed by Adobe behind my back, strengthens my resolve not to acquire any more Adobe products, free or otherwise.
What in blazes are the Adobe corporate folks thinking?

i dont know my sicureity questions what should i do?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
