So very confused and to make things worse i'm new at this Mac thing...
It says I need to update iPhoto before I can use it and when I check for a software update it says there is nothing to update... What do I do?
Have you tried updating through the Mac App Store?
Launch the "App Store" in your Applications folder.
Check updates there.

The globe button swaps places with the 123 button on iPhone 6 when the phone orientation is changed from upright to landscape or the other way arround. This is very confusing and makes it hard to type fast.
Is there a way to change that?iOS 8.1 didn't fix this

I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated. Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?
No need to apologize, Jim. I think your rant was justified. For years people have been telling me how easy the Mac was to use. Imagine my frustration when I finally learned from friends and users that it takes weeks or months to make the transition from Windows to Mac.
Still, I agree that I acted to too hastily when I returned my mini-mac to the store only three days after I bought it.
I'm going to try again, this time with an iMac. This time I'll keep it. Since this thread is for the mini-Mac only, I'll probably be starting a new one for the iMac.
Why did I decide to try again? Well, I do like the faster speed and compact hardware of the Macs. I also like the fact that I can install Windows and use that for my programs until I transition completely to Mac, IF I make the complete transition.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I have paid attention to what you said.

I encountered this morning when my ipad 3 screen become Rainbow And Black Strips On IPad Screen.. its very disappointing and its almost a month since my brother bought this n apple store in Orlando, Florida and shipped here in our home at Philippines..TY
If the screen is blurry, there might be something wrong with the iPad hardware. That shouldn't happen if the iPad is only one month old. You can try rebooting one more time and see if that corrects it. If it doesn't - and if you have an Apple Store nearby in the Phillipines - you might want to take it to the store and let an Apple Genius look at it.

The touch pad on my Mac book Pro is very sensitive and causes changes without hardly touching it. Can this be changed or does it need replacement?
Touchpads are just that, touchpads.
You touch it and something happens unfortunately, you can't rest your fingers on it while your waiting to do something else or it triggers a response.
You either have to train yourself to remove your fingers and keep them suspended, causing wrist, arm and hand pain, or plug in a standard mouse where nothing happens until you press the button, like years of ergonomic experience has shown is a much superior method.
Touchpads are likely less expensive to produce and breakdown less often under warranty, so just like less expensive to produce glossy screens, it's a cost cutting measure they were incorporated into our devices and required users to adapt to sweeps, gestures and other useless actions for little benefit.
I've owned my Early 2011 MacBook Pro for a year now and have only used the trackpad once, the mushy keyboard perhaps only a couple of dozen times. Preferring external devices where I can rest my digits and nothing happens until I apply pressure or use a scroll wheel.
Needless to say my keyboard area is in brand new condiiton, remains covered from the original packaging, protects against dirt and spills too.
Mac's keyboard and trackpad area tend to wear out pretty fast, like in about 3 years, making one consider getting a new machine long before it physically fails. -
I deleted my Iphoto and need to get it back! I bought this mac book off my sister and have none of the install disks. If there a download or something that I can get to reinstall it?
Depending on the age of your machine and the version of iPhoto, you may be able to download it from the App Store - but you'll need her account details to do so.
Other than that you'll need to purchase it on the App Store. -
I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.
Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address. To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Im kinda new to this mac thing
does anyone know a good place where i can use imovie and idvd to its fullest? im kinda new to this and i really dont know how to use this
whatever you mean by using it to its fullest...
BEFORE using the apps, I recommend some reading, trying, exercising..
start here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials
or spend some money for a good book...

and in case, you don't own a Mac yet - California has some nice Apple Stores... (no Apple Stores in Continental Europe... booohooo :-/ )

After Effects CS6 interface very slow and causing weird things happening
Hi all,
Since upgrading from AE CS3 to CS6, I noticed that the interface is much slower in CS6 than in CS3.
Specifically, when working in the timeline window, like renaming layers, or even just clicking just a layer, it takes up to multiple seconds before the action is actually applied.
When I move my mouse within that delay period, unexpected results happen, eg accidently a layer is moved up or down.
It seems that AE still thinks I hold and drag something, while that's not the case.
Or that the mouse down - mouse up registration is delayed, AE thinks I'm still holding the left mouse button. Not very good.
Very frustrating because at first I didn't even notice a layer was moved. When going back to CS3 it's a relief to work with.
Note that I'm not talking about render times of the preview, I know when to wait.
But I expect the interface to respond within reasonable times. Clicking a layer should actually highlight it within less than a second, not multiple seconds.Hi Dave and Mylenium, here's more info:
I updated AE to 11.0.2.11 (that fixed the "Need 2 frames or more for ram playback" but not the UI response time)
I work on an iMac with OSX 10.6.8, 3Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB ram, and an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
In the current case, I work in a comp with about 40 shape layers, 2 tiff sequence layers (stored on the SSD), and a few PSD files. Resolution 1080p
I turned off multiprocessing, enabled disk cache
Time to throw it out?
Is the 2012 iMac line up to the task (Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M / 675MX, Intel Quadcore i5 2.7-3.2Ghz - not fantastic right)?
Switch to PC to get real power? -
Very confusing and hard to get it fixed
This account that I'm writing on is now my mom's account. I have my own account but forgot the password. When I request for "forgot password" it sends me a password token, but when I press the link it says
"sorry that password token is not recognized, please try entering it again or get another password token". I did this probably 5 times still with no luck. So I search on the community forum and see that some people were able to write to skype customer service through ( https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/how-can-i-contact-skype-customer-service ) this link, but I've been going through the page and nowhere can I see a place where I can write an e-mail to skype and ask for help. The only thing I see is point # 3.
If you still feel that the information doesn’t help, click the Continue support requestbutton at the bottom of the screen.
and then it shoes the button for continue support request, but i can't click on it, and even if I go to the bottom of the page, I can't find it. PLEASE HELP, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESTORE MY PASSWORD!!!!apofu wrote:

first, request for a new password reset link again (be sure to use it within 6 hours upon receiving it or it will expire). Then try using another web browser to open that link if it still doen't work in the usual/default browser you are using. You can also try using another computer or device if such is available.
If the same or similar problem exist, then you may need to get in touch with customer service for further assistance. They may require you to verify some details before they can proceed in assisting you in resetting your password/regain access to your account;

VERY CONFUSED and STUCK!!! About to throw computer out of window!
Hi,
I have been using a template with guidelines (are these paths?) to design within.
The shape I am designing within is a curved one, (for an ice cream tub) therefore any text I have used has had to follow the guidelines. (so bending slightly round the tub as it were)
Now that I have finished my artwork, I want to remove all lines (guides) so leaving just graphics. But I can't, all I do is remove the text too. Or else I get a message saying:
"Can't clear the objects. Can't split the text path into multiple text paths"
****How do I creat a line of text, to be skewed to follow a line, but remove the line JUST leaving text???****
Sorry, I am not au fait with teccy language, nor much of Illustrator language!
Can anyone help, pleeeeease?!
Thanks,
Charlotte.Charolette
why don't you post a screenshot showing the document window wih your art and the layers panel
you pist by using the camera icon in the message respond dialog. -

Please help...Very confused and Frustrated
I just built a new system using the Neo2 LS mother board, P4 2.8ghz, Raddeon 9600 Pro, 1Gb Ram. Anyway i took my 2 hard drives from my old system (40gb WD and 40GB Quantum Fireball Lct20)I left the jumpers as they were in the old system placed them in the new system. When i boot up everythingworks fine with the exception of my secondary HD(quantum) is not assigned a Drive Letter. Device Manager shows it, my Bios shows it but yet i cannot access it and I really Have important Data that i need off of it. I have tried changing the Jumpers around using the Master/Slave approach, as well as putting both to Cable Select. I have tried changing my Eide cable using the same cable that was in my old system still no luck. I am at my wits end any help on this matter will be appreciated.
O.S. is Windows XP Home EditionHave you tried to change the hard drive mode from AUTODETECT in the BIOS to something else like an old legacy mode/PIO to get the drive to load so you can grab your data off it?
