Submitting photos for artists that don't have one
I love Spotify for including not only the commercially succesful music but recordings of ALL type.
However, many times some of the unfamous artists don't have photos or bios. It would be great if users could submit these and if appropriate to update the artists' information. Perhaps it would be best if the photos and bios reach the representatives of the artists.
Let me know what you think!
Updated: 2015-07-16Hello!
Your idea has been submitted a while ago but unfortunately hasn't gathered enough kudos (25 per year). In order to keep an overview of the active ideas in this forum, we will close this idea for now. However this does not mean that your idea has been declined by Spotify.
If you still feel strongly about your request, we encourage you to post your idea in a little different form again! Maybe now is the right time to receive the support of our community for your suggestion! ;)

Tutorial: Virtual Numpad on laptops that don't have one built-in
Hi all! After getting so much good help from the people on Arch forums, I thought it was time to give back.
You remember how on older laptops, you would hit numLock and a portion of your keyboard would become a numpad? (specifically, the 789uiojklm keys) Well, recently I got a new Lenovo Y40 and I never knew how much I loved having a numpad until I found that my new laptop didn't have one. Unfortunately, the Y40 does not come with this feature out of the box, but luckily, Arch Linux is on our side. I am going to tell you how I set up my own virtual numpad using tools that come built-in with X.
Before we start, I should point out that everything I learned in order to do this was found here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_ … _Modifiers
From the warnings section:
It is possible (and, in fact, easy) to end up disabling some keys on your keyboard for the current X session while working with XKB. This includes modifiers, cursor arrows and Enter key, as well as C-A-Backspace and C-A-Fx combinations. Make sure you have some way to terminate the session without using your keyboard.
While it is rare, changing XKB configuration can sometimes hang or crash X server. Make sure you can handle it. Having some way to killall X or reboot the host remotely may be a good idea.
Stop xxkb, or any other layout switching applications. xxkb actively changes XKB state. Debugging both at the same time is not a good idea.
And finally, be warned: it is very easy to get used to custom layout.
If you want to learn more, that wiki article is the best available xkbcomp documentation for people who aren't X developers (lit. me). And with that, let's get started!
Getting Set Up + xkb Background Info
The first thing we will do is run the command
xkbcomp $DISPLAY outfile.xkb
This will spit out the code that represents the current keyboard layout. Our end goal will be to code in what we need into this file, and upload it back to the X server. I recommend editing this file in an editor with C/C++-style syntax highlighting, since it might prevent you from making syntactical errors.
There are many sections to the .xkb file, but we will only concern ourselves with xkb_types, xkb_compatibility, and xkb_symbols.
xkb_types lets you define types for each of the keys on your keyboard. For example, if you use Canadian Multilingual Standard (like I do) most of your keys are given the type "EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC". When a "special key" like ctrl, alt, caps lock, etc is pressed, in xkb_types, we map these modifiers to "LevelN", and different combinations will mean different things for different types. For 8-level-semialphabetic, no special keys pressed is "Level1", Shift is "Level2", etc.
If we jump forward to xkb_symbols, and look at the keys, we see that each key is assigned a type, and an array. The first element in the array is what symbol the key represents for Level1, the second is the symbol for Level2, etc.
Finally, xkb_compatibility allows us to set which keys turn on which modifiers (as well as other things).
So with that, let's get started
Editing the layout
We will begin by editing the xkb_types section. First, we will pick an unused type from xkb_types (you could create your own, but it will be more work). It doesn't matter which type you picked, so long as none of your keys use it. Take down the name. Now delete the unused type, and in its place, copy paste the type that your keys used already. Finally, change the name of the copy to the type you deleted. For example, I deleted EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC, copied and pasted EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC, and changed the name on the copy back to EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC. Next, change the modifiers variable to accept NumLock. This is done by concatenating '+NumLock' before the semicolon. Lastly, we will bind it to a level. You can create a level, or simply pick one that you were not using, and add the line (where N is the desired Level)
map[NumLock]= LevelN;
Next, we will turn our attention to xkb_compatibility. Simply copy paste this code into the xkb_compatibility section, taking care to replace Scroll_Lock with the key you wish to use to toggle the numpad:
interpret Scroll_Lock {
virtualModifier= NumLock;
action= LockMods(modifiers=NumLock);
Now comes the more tedious part of editing the layout. For every key that is part of your virtual numpad, change the type to the copy we made earlier. (In my example, I would change EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC to EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC). Finally, locate the Nth element in the array (indexing from 1) where N is the level you bound the NumLock modifier to in xkb_types. Replace this with the desired nunmpad key. For your convenience, here is a list of the numpad keys I used:
KP_0
KP_1
KP_2
KP_9
KP_Add
KP_Subtract
KP_Divide
KP_Multiply
KP_Decimal
For example, here is the entry for my 'u' key (note the KP_4):
key <AD07> {
type= "EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC",
symbols[Group1]= [ u, U, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, downarrow, uparrow, NoSymbol, KP_4 ]
If you are wondering what to do if you want to bind numpad keys to your Fx keys, I added a note at the end of the post.
Uploading the layout to the X Server
And now the moment of truth. First, run
xkbcomp myNewLayout.xkb
This will NOT upload to the X Server yet; it will only compile the file and check its syntax. One cryptic error I got was because I used C-style /*block quotes*/. xkbcomp doesn't like these, but it doesn't mind //this kind of comment. If we have no errors, we can now upload with
xkbcomp myNewLayout.xkb $DISPLAY
Well, go ahead and try it out, there will almost surely be some really neat tweaks you can do.
Extra Stuff/Notes
When you hit Scroll_Lock (or whichever key it was you chose) it locks the new type we made to LevelN. This is why we went to the trouble of making a new type, so that the rest of the keyboard would not be locked in LevelN mode. For example, on my setup, I first tried this without creating a new type, and found that the rest of my keyboard was not behaving normally, since it was also bound to Level8 (my desired numpad level). So, I created a new type for my numpad keys so that the rest of the keyboard would still act in its usual manner even when I had the numpad on.
If you're wondering, I bound KP_Multiply and KP_Divide to my F8 and F9 keys. However, I didn't need to change the type, since the level I chose (Level4) also caused the Fx keys to act normally (except if I rebound them). That is, before I changed anything, all the Fx had the corresponding Fx key bound to Level4. I simply changed the Level4 keybinds for F8 and F9. This meant that when I activated the virtual numpad, F8 and F9 were KP_multiply and KP_Divide, and the rest of the function keys were what they were usually.
Hopefully, this tutorial won't only help you to make a virtual numpad, but maybe help some other newbies like me to further customize their system. And the Arch Wiki author is right, you really do get used to the new layout and it becomes frustrating to use other computers!
Happy trails.
- Marco

Re: My laptops that don't have a linksys card, but built in wireless can stay connected to WEP
OK since your security is set to WPA why do you want to go to WEP? DS? If everything is configured correctly you should not have to change anything. If you are connecting another device and forgot what your WPA setting were just go into the router and take a look see.
1. I set up everything, its all fine and ok
2. The DS can't connect to WPA, only WEP or Open
3. I know what my WPA settings are and the codes to both settings -
Purchased Quicktime Pro. For install, instructed to go to system preferences and click on Quicktime Icon. Don't have one. Have most current QT, 7.0 running. Suggestions?
Just a footnote:
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, [i]or[/i] if specified as part of a custom install, [i]or[/i] individually downloaded.

Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.

Hi,
I have Picture A set as my lock screen picture and certain people in my contacts have a picture assigned to them. However, I would like to assign Picture B to all other callers as well as have numbers not in my contact list come up as Picture B.
Is there a way to do this other than just assigning Picture B to ALL other contacts? Because that still wouldn't work for numbers that call me/I call that are in my my contact list.
Thanks,
PIt is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

Need to prep some still photos for doc project & don't have photoshop
My producer just sent me some photos to use but they are way too hires for Final Cut and also some need to be rotated and cropped. Usually I use photoshop for this but haven't upgraded to the new version and the old version won't work with OS 10.5 so what can I use? Does Final Cut studio include software that would help me do some basic photo manipulation? I have never used Motion but it seems way too complicated for what I need to do.
Can I use iPhoto or will that compromise my picture quality in some way?
Thanks!

Thank you. I put it in airplane mode like you suggested, but it looks to me like all the applications and ads are still running. Anyway, I'm just gonna play when I'm really really bored and use them as less as possible. Thank you again for your quick answer.

I am trying to retrieve my photos from my I phone 4s because the screen is smashed. The pc that I use is windows not an apple computer. Can anyone give me step by step instructions how I can get my photos? Also, I don't have icloud
If the iPhone is still working and the photos are in the Camera Roll (i.e., taken on the iPhone) then, when you connect the iPhone to your PC, it should be recognized as a Camera and Windows should start AutoPlay.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.
Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

I Can no longer synch my iPhone and iPad to Outlook using iTunes on a Win 7 Pc. I updated to iTunes 11.1.4.62 a few days ago. Don't know if that caused my problem. I've reset the Synch History, deleted any Notes in Outlook that don't have a subject. Grateful for any help.
You might have better luck in the iTunes for Windows community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?
iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data. How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)
Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder
