Small Issue - But it is really BUGGING me !!
When I type in what SHOULD turn into links (letters turn blue with a line under them and allow you to click on it) in either my emails or mainly for me in this situation now its my signature,,, email links seem to work but not actual web addresses.
It kills me and I can't figure it out. I looked for prefernces, searched in forums, etc... no answer.
Let me give you a exact example. In my signature (and also in some emails) I type in my web address and my email (along with name and number too obviously) for contact info and other various reasons. WELL when I either look at the "sent" email I JUST typed and sent, or if I look at it once I get replied back to from the receipiant, I see the EMAIL I typed has turned into a link, BUT the web address hasn't !! ?? It never does, and NONE of them (web address's) do.
WHY ?
I am typing them in the same way I do anywhere else and it works, why not in Mail ?
Also, is this JUST how I AM SEEING IT ? or is this how my receipiants are seeing it too ?
I want them to get the LINKS, not just typed letters.
Ever since I used computers I noticed once you type either a web address or a email, it AUTOMATICALLY turns into a link,,,,,,, So what gives here ?? How can one thing be turning into a link, but the other thing aint ?

David, you are quite correct. In my first response I posted this:
1) If you type a web address starting "www." it may not display on the recipients computer as a link.
2) If you type it starting "http://www." it will.
I didn't think to explain how an individual email application parses text in messages it receives!
RR wanted a solution to ensuring that his url appeared in all circumstances as a clickable link (at the recipients end, {regardless of his composition view}), and composing in Rich Text and entering the complete html tag accomplishes this, and in the post I did state that the message had to be composed in Rich Text for this to work.
In the original post I did also explain that typing in www. was not sufficient to have the url represented as a link in all cases at the recipients end, but that one must type in http://. He was unwilling to do that.
Having said that, your correction about the advice on Signatures IS accurate, and is simply a reflection of observations of my email progam and that of those I send emails to. Hopefully RR will read this and better understand.
I have learned that there is always room in your mouth for your other foot!

Small issue but very annoying....
When using the dashbaord to access the calculator in Snow Leopard it would overlay it over the project i was working on. In Lion when accessing the calculator it takes me to a new screen. This is very annoying as i like to see what im working on while using the calculator at the same time. Now i have to swtich back and forth between screens. I know in the grand scheme of things this is a small problem but its very annoying. Is there a way i can make the calcualtor work as it did in Snow Leopard?

I had a very small dent when I got the iPad for my birthday under a week ago and now it's got bigger, is there any chance of getting either a replacement back case or a new iPad without a dent?
I would act soon if it really bothers you. Your unconditional return/exchange period is 14 days from receipt. After that, it would be a warranty issue, and if determined to be purely cosmetic, might not get any action at all. And if determined worthy of replacement, the normal thing for a warranty replacement is a factory refurbished unit, not a brand new one.
If within your 14 days, you could just take it in to an Apple store and swap it for a new one (there is no longer any restocking fees if returning or exchanging within that 14 day window). -

IPad 2 WiFi Range Issues (but not issues with connectivity when in range)
Okay. I hate to start a new thread when there are bunches of threads on the iPad 2 having WiFi problems (particularly with 5Ghz networks and also related to 4.3). Nonetheless, I'm not seeing anyone talking about range in these forums.
Issue: iPad 2 WiFi range is not as far as iPad 1 (with no cover on either).
Alternative Explanation: iPad 2 has difficulty connecting to Airport Express or Time Capsule extended networks.
Devices: iPad 2 3g, iPad 1 3g (iOS 4.3), iPhone 3gs (iOS 4.3), iPhone (iOS 3.2x), iMac, MacBook Pros, etc.
Network Router: Simultaneous Dual-Band Airport Extreme (latest version) set up with 2.4, 5 ghz and Guest Networks (each with their own name).
Network Extender: Airport Express (latest version) extending the 2.4 ghz network
Network Extender 2: Time Capsule (original, single band) extending the 2.4 ghz network
Longer Description: iPad 2 connected without an issue to the 5 ghz network and the 2.4 ghz network when it was in the same room as the Aiport Extreme. Didn't have any issues maintaining that connection.
However, the iPad 2 doesn't work in any of the farther rooms and can't see the network. iPad 1 and iPhones have no issues (and typically show 1 or two bars). I believe they typically are connecting through the Airport Express (but it could be the Time Capsule).
Given that the iPad 2 isn't even seeing the networks, I'm guessing it's a range issue, but hoping it's not.
Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes?While it is possible that an Apple moderator (Apple host) could pass some information to an Apple development/support group, in practice this doesn't really seem to happen (at least often). I believe that the moderators are kept quite busy just administering the forums and keeping them under control (no spam, ads, abuse, etc.). I've never seen a post by an Apple host here or seen a technical correction to a post (and there is certainly a lot of incorrect information posted here).
Unfortunately, a lot of new posters here seem to think that they are talking directly to Apple and post bug reports, feature suggestions, complaints, etc. These would be much better submitted via the Apple feedback vehicle at http://www.apple.com/feedback. These are not anonymous, are directed to the appropriate product and provide an email contact for Apple to get back to the submittor if more detail is required. -
Help on small issues after WinXP downgrade from Vista
Lenovo 3000 v200
I recently downgraded from Vista to WinXP Professional, and I must say I'm much happier with XP.
Some issues on the install: although I downloaded all drivers from the Lenovo site, the install didn't work from my usb floppy drive.
It recognized the floppy on the F6 portion of the install, but then later it kept asking for the disk to be inserted (it was already in the drive). Workaround was to install by changing to "compatibility mode" in the BIOS, and after install, loading all drivers and changing BIOS back to SATA.
All features of the laptop appear to work perfectly; camera, fingerprint reader, wifi, etc.
HOWEVER: in the device manager, there are 3 yellow exclamation points in the "Other Devices" section, and each of them is labeled "Base System Device." Does anyone know what these are? Why are they not recognized as specific devices? LenovoCare doesn't recognize them either, and I have no idea what drivers to attempt to install for mystery devices.
Also, "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus" won't install. I have the current driver, and I've tried updating from LenovoCare, but no luck. As I don't use a modem, this seems irrelevant, but I'd like to install it just the same if possible.
Finally, the LenovoCare recognized a need to install a "Hotkey" update, and it claims to successfully install, but everytime I run LenovoCare it says I need it again. Any comments or observations?
Again, the computer works just fine even with these small issues. In fact, it is better than fine; it is a joy to use and a real speed demon with XP instead of Vista. So I'm not trying to do any rocket science or potentially screw up a very nice situation, but I am trying to iron out these small nuisances.
Thanks to all of you who consider my trivial problems. I really appreciate having knowledgable individuals like yourselves help out a very modestly skilled, but reasonably ambitious user.
Cheers,
FredHello Fred,
I created a blog on this forum called.... "I Explain How To Downgrade From Vista To XP Successfully On A 3000 N100 Laptop" Locate this message and read through it. Try the "Auto Detect This System" I Talk about. It will load the latest drivers and the latest...BIOS..... for your particular model if you have not already upgraded it. You did not mention if you had upgraded your BIOS...... if your running an "OLD" version.... THIS..... could be your problem.

Direct Select issue - just me or a bug?
I've encountered an issue with Illustrator's Direct Select tool: I'm using Illustrator 5.1 on a Macbook Air (bought this last year), and whenever I use option+click with the direct selection tool, the program stalls while it's making the selection. Even if it's a simple path with only two points, option-clicking makes the program stall for three seconds, then the cursor spins for another three seconds, before finally selecting the entire path. 6 seconds to select two anchor points and a path does not seem reasonable, and especially on this computer, delays like that really stand out.
Is there something going on with my computer, or is this some Mac/Macbook Air + AI5.1 bug? I'd love to be able to fix this...
Thanks,
EricI know that it won't cure your issue, but I cannot reproduce the problem on a (probably) comparable machine …

Some UI papercuts and smaller issues
The CS6 Beta, while generally awesome and full of plenty of new things, has plenty of smaller issues too. I know and understand that this is pre-release software, however I fear that some of these might be missed on release which would mean that they would never get fixed. Just personal experience with big software companies, nothing personal.
So here are just some that quickly caught my attention:
Hex field in color picker, while extremely useful, is awkwardly sized (especially as Hex values are only 3 or 6 symols long)
Ruler tool would greatly benefit from the info tooltips introduced for the Selection and Move tools. Same would probably apply to the Eyedropper tool.
Clicking on a shape layer's thumbnail no longer hides the shape's outline (I know that there's a global setting for this, but I heard some people disappointed with this on Twitter)
Combining of all Workspace layouts into one dropdown menu. I personally loved the rapid switching possibility provided by the button layout in CS5.
Additionally, I noticed a rather annoying bug with Type tool: Activating a text layer with the Type tool doesn't update the information in the toolbar nor in Characters panel (try it with two differently-styled text layers — the information for the old one is still displayed even though the new one is active).magnet14 wrote:

I can't reproduce that.
Here's what I did:
1. Create two different text layers, with different fonts, different colors, different sizes.
2. Click on the T in the Tools Panel to activate the Horizontal Type Tool.
3. Now if I click on each layer all of the things you mention are updated with info from that layer.

I have many apps where i must swipe down and it constantly brings down the notification screen. Is there anyway to disable this or activate it a different way because this really bugs me.
I don't have that problem. Perhaps I touch the screen lower when I wipe down? I don't know for sure but there's got to be some difference in the way that we wipe down. you might wish to do some experimenting.

My 6 month old Mac is using iPhoto. Please advise when I copy the photo from iPhoto to add to a word document while creating a pictorial artical as soon as it is pasted the picture it turns black, I have tried many different methods to over come the issue but unsuccessful. In the past the iPhoo was default for direct download from a card, This I have now changed but in the meantime there are photographs that I need to use. I understand window completly but still on the nursery steps with Mac.
Please advise HeatherAs I said before I am reluctanct to delete and reinstall the iPhoto as I only have the one copy of the file i am using stored in iphoto file and I caint loose them.
All storage hardware and all computers will fail. Volumes will get corrupted. Mistakes will happen.
Please learn from our past mistakes and from our past data losses: please have and keep regular backups.
Either via Time Machine (which is marvelously transparent, and very easy), or backups created via some other mechanisms and tools. Old Toad recommends an external disk, and that's very effective. If this is a portable Mac, then Time Capsule devices are also very handy, as you don't have to remember to connect the backup device; so long as the Mac is within wireless range of the Time Capsule, backups will happen.
Time Machine backups can also be used to replace your files or even to upgrade to a new Mac, should your computer be lost or stolen, or should your computer or your storage fail.
If you have not already seen these, Mac Basics and Find Out How could be interesting.
As for your photos... I wouldn't expect this to be iPhoto and wouldn't go for an iPhoto reinstall as the first step, I'd tend to wonder if this is a bug or feature in Microsoft Word, or possibly a format incompatibility with what Office supports. iPhoto organizes and edits the photos that are stored in your ~/Pictures media directory. Try using iWork (if you have that) or some other tool (Apple Mail) that accepts and processes photos, and see if you can localize the problem. Depending on the image formats used, also see if exporting the picture from iWork into a jpeg-format picture — something other than the image format you're currently using with the Microsoft Office imports — works. (FWIW, I use iWork for reading and writing Microsoft Office documents as well as Pages and Keynote files, and have been using iPhoto with those and other tools for many years, and haven't encountered these blacked-out images.) -

Editing Cells - Simple Issue, but Confused
Simple issue, but I can't seem to figure this one out in Numbers. I'll do my best to explain in words here.
Let's say I store the following dollar amount in cell A1 = 1264. The number is formatted to dollars. Therefore A1 is presented as $1,264.00. All is well up to this point.
Okay, now let's assume I click out of the cell completely. Now let's say I wanted to add $250.50 to this amount in cell A1. When I go to the formula bar to add in the $250.50 it's requiring me to remove the dollar sign and comma out of my $1,264.00 number in order to complete the computation. Is this normal? I never had to do this in Excel. My thought was that I should only need to include an equal sign at the beginning of the formula (in other words, there shouldn't be a need to remove the dollar sign and comma every time, right?).
Just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything overly simple (which I'm sure I am).
Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm really enjoying my trial version of Numbers thus far.
Message was edited by: randy.humesRandy,
There is another way to remove each comma and dollar sign, one that will work on multiple cell at once if needed. Select the cells that you want to clean-up and using the Cells Inspector, change the format from Currency to Number and then click the Thousands Separator checkbox to deselect it. Then all that remains is to add the equal sign when you go in to edit the content by changing your input to a formula. Then if you still want the value to be displayed as currency, change the format back.
I'm not saying that this method is better, but may be worth a try if your are backspace/delete averse.

Two small issues switching from Leopard to Snow Leopard
Hi,
I just recently switched to Snow Leopard from Leopard. I was considering Lion, but heard some bad things about it.
Either way, I noticed two small issues. The first was a hot key set on my Logitech mouse. I had a button preset to all windows expose. In the software
for the mouse driver you can set it to expose specifically. (Its not just setting it to a certain F key). For some reason this doesn't work anymore.
The other problem is when I link my mac book pro to an external monitor thru an hdmi cable, I notice on the tv screen it reverts back to the default
desktop background. Instead of having the picture I set, it shows up on the big screen the blue and purple space image.
Any suggestions?
ThanksThanks for the reply,
The Logitech mouse driver said there were no updates available so I figured the expose had something to do
with the new OS system since it now said expose and spaces, which Leopard never had spaces.
So what I did was figured out how to just set it up with the F keystroke and it worked!
When I link my Mac Book Pro to my tv, I use an external keyboard which is more up to date with the quick f keys up top and the arrangement is set up differently [ such as the volume keys are now f 10 and 11 instead of f 3 and 4 or something like that] Hopefully when my mbp is linked to this the keystroke I have set for expose still works. I believe it will.
And as for the desktop bg, after unplugging my tv I notcied it still stayed on the space theme. So I believe I know what may be the issue. I set that bg off of a picture on an external hd, and never saved the image on my computer hd. So I'm assuming it saved the desktop picture in some cache thing or something and once it got linked to an external monitor it got refreshed.
I now how that image on my computer and set, so hopefully the next time I link my computer to the tv, it'll stay.
Thanks! -
How do I change my location? My iPad says that I am in newfoundland but I am really in Nova Scotia
Does anyone know how to fix my location? It keeps saying that I am in Newfoundland but I'm really in Nova Scotia.
It sounds like you or your iPad has some history in Newfoundland. What might that be?
This hypothetical scenario would be the unusual one, which does not sound like yours at all:
"I just opened the iPad box and set up my new iPad. I entered my Apple ID and password. I have lived in Nova Scotia my whole life. The only times I visited Newfoundland were twice, and they were over ten years ago. Why does my iPad say I'm in Newfoundland?"
Again, this sounds nothing like your situtation. So what is it about you or your iPad's background that might associate it (or you) with Newfoundland?
The answer might be personal, and not worthy of publishing here. But hopefully it will put you on the right track to solving the issue.
