Sorry if this is a dumb question...

...but i'm old
i have just got an iMac at home [with iSight camera] and an iMac at work with iSight built in. i want my daughter to be able to chat to her cousin who flits between poland and here [UK].
her dad has sent me his skype address and his MSN address - which i have put into jabber - so far so good [he is on PC by the way].
so how the heck do you actually start a conversation!!?? being old and this being a Mac i was expecting a big video button which would put me in touch - can't find one so how else does one do this? i was hoping this was simply enough for my five year old... wait, it probably is...
cheers in advance people

Hi matt neil,

(I think you are past this)
Then Tony's link.
Basically they need a suitable AIM client that can video
(AIM 5.9 or Trillian but not the AIM Triton thing)
AIM 5.9 needs more setting up than Trillian hance Tony's link. It is free but has a small window and can only Video chat.
Trillian has a bigger base level window that can be expanded to full screen but cost $25 for the Pro version to Video chat. The basic version can however Audio only chat that the AIM 5.9 can not.

Where do I enable HTML view for Mozilla Firefox. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

No answer that I have found online has been any help to me!

It's not a dumb question, but I have a follow-up: is the problem that Firefox is presenting pages with little or no stylization, looking mostly like text with some random images instead of having their usual layout?
Does the problem affect secure sites (address starts with HTTPS instead of HTTP)?
If so, there may be a problem with how Firefox is set up to work with secure sites. Because many popular websites combine content from multiple servers, if you made a security exception for a site, that may not get you all the elements of the page, such as style rules.
More detail if it's relevant. If this is off track, could you describe the problem in more detail?

Newbie (sorry if this is a dumb question)

I'm totally new with a MAC so forgive me for the questions.
My mac came with Imovie which I'm quickly not a fan of, it's confusing to edit on there. I'm use to windows movie maker or prostudio on a PC, which yes you can' create a lot of anything, but at least it's easy to "edit".
So here's the easy question - Can you export your project from Final Cut Express directly onto a DVD?
Also, does Imovie offer a view where one can edit on a timeline?

With both iMovie and Final Cut Express, you export your projects to iDVD to burn a DVD.
iMovie does not have a timeline anymore, that change occurred a couple of years ago when iLife08 came out.

How do I select a square brush for the brush tool in CS6? Sorry if this is a simple question, but nothing has ever been simple for me in Photoshop.

How do I select a square brush for the brush tool in CS6? Sorry if this is a simple question, but nothing has ever been simple for me in Photoshop.

I don't believe there is a square brush among the sets that ship with Photoshop, but there are plenty to download, and it is super easy to make one.
Just drag with the rectangular Marquee tool, fill with black on a new layer, and go Edit > Define brush preset

This maybe a dumb question but...If I buy Aperture are the updates already installed into the purchased version or do I need to update them?

This maybe a dumb question but...If I buy Aperture are the updates already installed into the purchased version or do I need to update them after the prograam is installed?

Should come updated from the Mac App Store. Obviously, it's tough to keep things up to date when they are sitting in a box on a store shelf.

Sorry if this is OT - Preview question

Sorry if this isn't the right spot for this question. But I have a pdf that I created from a bunch of other pdfs. When you open it in Acrobat, it is fine. When you open it in Preview, there are a bunch of blank pages and missing images in it. Has anyone else experienced that? And if so, does anyone have any remedies?
Thanks.

Dual Booting (I'm sorry if this is a stupid question)

Hey, I'm regularly a Windows XP Professional user and I'm trying to convert to the dark side and use linux, and of course I wanted the best so I chose Arch. The only problem I've encountered so far is configuring Grub to dual boot. Excuse me if this is a n00b question or if it's been asked before (I really have tried my best to find this question in other topics but they never quite exactly matched my issue). I'm using two hard drives, a master with Arch on it and a slave with Windows XP on it. My Arch drive has three partitions, the first is a 50 mb boot partition, the second a 512mb swap partition, and the rest of the 40gb drive is a reiserFS partition. My Windows XP drive has a 79.5 gb NTFS partition, and the remaining .5gb is free space. I installed Grub to the first disk(Arch disk). Here is my configuration for Windows XP in Grub:
# (1) Windows XP Pro
title Windows XP Professional
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
When I get into Grub, I can select Arch and it boots properly, however when I choose Windows I get a "Disk Read Error". However, taking the Arch drive out and making the Windows one the master, Windows boots properly. Can you help me with this and any mistakes I may have made? Thank you very much.

I suggest invert the disks and forget the map thing.
Note: To get this method working, you need your XP CD for the last steps. Also some kind of Recovery linux CD will be good in case something goes wrong. The worst case can be that after the steps XP boots fine, but Linux do not.
1.Put XP HD as primary or first HD, and your Arch Disk secondary. Windows do not like it the other way around (period).
2.Temporalily install grub on the primary Hard Disk boot sector but don't worry, for the XP menu, we'll get it back later.
3.Edit your grub setting to point to the correct drives. Note: replace vmlinuz for your kernel image on /boot, and check the hd paths. I take the lines from my own grub config and adapt it to your hard disk layout.
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda3
title Windows XP xxxx Edition
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
4. Check your system boots to both OS's, again don't worry for the missing XP boot menu.
5. Boot to Linux, and follow the steps on this page http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/gr … HOWTO.html. Look for the dd if= instruction.
6. If you followed the instructions from the site, you'll have both OS's entries on XP menu. Now, put your XP CD-ROM and restart.
7. Select boot from CD, then Repair Installation
8. When ask which installation to repair, select 1, and enter the password. BTW, if you install XP and never log as Administrator, probably the password is unset (empty), so try first a return.
9. At the prompt, type FIXBOOT (enter) and at the prompt again, type FIXMBR (enter)
10. Restart
If everything is set, you'll have both Systems defined on Both menus, Grub and NTLDR. So you can switch from one to another at any time, for example, if selected the wrong option.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

How do I use a group I have created in my address book to send an email to everyone in that group. I'm sure it's very obvious, but I have been using the help feature in both mail and address book and it doesn't explain. I've also searched all over this site. I also don't want everyone on the email list to see each other's email addresses. Is this possible.
Thanks for any advice.

Lisa, no such thing as a stupid question, you have a question that you couldn't figure out, happens to anyone at some point.
First, I'm assuming you indeed have a group formed in AddressBook (AB)
- go to Mail and compose a new mail
- click on the small button you see here in front of Account
- and select Add Bcc field from the drop down menu
- you should see the AB icon on top of the message window toolbar (if not, do a Customize Toolbar... and drag that AB icon there.
- select the Icon, your AB data should now appear, including the group
- select the group in the left column, and select all addresses in the right column (apple-A)
- press To: button
Now all your addresses will go to the To: field which you do not want. Copy all addresses in the To field (use apple-X to cut), then paste them in the Bcc field with Apple-V
set your own email address in the To: field as this field should not remain empty
insert message and send !

This is a dumb question but...

Can anyone tell me where I can find a "bluescreen" in FCP to put at the beginning and end of my short? I'm new at this and just found out that I need "bluescreens" before submiting it.

Perhaps if you defined the situation a little better.
who is "they?"
Typically a screening tape has a show the begins at 01:00:00:00 Typically there is a beep at 00:59:58:00 Before that is a slate naming the program. Before that a minute of bars and tone. At the end of the program it is customary to leave 2 minutes of black. This gives any projectionist time to either shut off the projector or switch to another projector, without the annoying snow or whatever.
Is this what you mean?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I need help

Somehow my spouse has got some kind of Help window open. It explains what's on the screen, isolating various texxt or function boxes. It's a black rectangular box that can be dragged and resized. I've minimized it but would like to get rid of it. Anyone know what this is?

This is a dumb question but please help me anyway!

I have been asked to take a class to learn to teach AP Computer Science. I was very excited to do this and was told that I didn't need prior programming knowledge to be successful. I got my first set of assignments and there are no instructions. There are just some simple programs for me to create. I went online and tried to do the best I could. I've got the first one working ok but the second one keeps giving me errors. I'm going to post what I've written below. If you have any help to offer me, please do! I am an absolute beginner so please be kind.

TS1544 Sorry if this is a stupid question

I am running osx 10.6.8 which i down loaded from the app store. I am having problems with one of my email accounts requiring the password all the time so following advice on hear am trying to accsess the keychain but for some reason can not find it in utilities. Can some one please help Thanks

Just a minor correction. Unless I'm badly out of date -- I've never once visited the App Store -- you didn't get the 10.6.8 update from the App Store. You would have gotten it from Apple Downloads or Software Update.
You aren't seeing Keychain Access.app in Applications>Utilities?
Should be there. If and when you find it, run Keychain First Aid from the menu.
EDIT: actually, if you really got your OS from the App Store, it would have been Lion 10.7. something, and you aren't running Snow Leopard, 10.6, which cannot be downloaded anywhere. It's on DVD.
Click once on the Apple icon in the menubar>about this Mac. This will tell you what OS version you have.
