This may sound like a dumb question, but...

I am posting this as I've posted another question that is related to this particular question...
Is a 10.3 MB file a super-huge file in Illustrator CS6?  I'm just trying to figure out why my machine is running so slowly; was working well a few days ago when I worked on this particular piece of artwork.  I have around seven layers. 
Nancy in Tucson

Nancy,
The filesize 10.3 MB is far from unusual (if anything, some here might ask: when do you really start working on it? You may also create a new document of the same size, and then save it without any artwork too see what you actually start with).
There may be many reasons for slowdowns, including other things running. You may (also) have a look at the speed with only Illy working.

  • HT4437 this may seem like a dumb question, but do you always have to have wifi on to play music using airplay through the tv

    This may seem like a dumb question, but once you have set up airplay from the ipad through the tv do you always need to have the internet on.

    It's not necessary to have an internet connection in order to AirPlay content to the Apple TV unless the content is protected. You will however need to keep your wifi network turned on.

  • This may sound like a stupid question,,,but can i downlaod other programmes to my ipad, and use them like i would on a pc/net book ?

    this may sound like a stupid question,,,but can i downlaod other programmes to my ipad, and use them like i would on a pc/net book ?

    No.
    It is not a replacement for a computer.
    It mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    The only programs that can be loaded on an ipad are those found in the app store.

  • This may seem like a dumb question, but

    How do I keep my hard drive from filling up with junk? I just purchased a new 13" MBA with 256 GB. My old MBP eventually got bogged down with so many duplicate files and applications and just plain junk. I was never sure what could be safely deleted.
    I guess my real question is how do I know what is safe to delete, which things are duplicates and can I delete a disk image after I install something? Also, how do I know if I've completely deleted an application that I no longer want (i.e. any hidden files or whatever). I want to keep my new MBA as clean as I can and not load up my hard drive space with anything unneccessary.
    Thanks!

    not a dumb question
    just be proactive about where everything is saved to and backup important things via external USB HD
    Clear out itunes often of duplicate unwanted things, keep a folder or two on your desktop or otherwise to keep most of your working files.
    If you drop an unwanted APP to the trash and delete same, its gone unless is a sys. modification application.
    Keep your pictures in a known file or two. Same goes for documents, music, and videos.
    frequently clear out your browswer of cookies, cache.
    Buy a APP on the APP STORE that locates all duplicate files.  It lets you choose to delete them or not.
    such as:

    there are many such apps.

  • This may seem like a silly question but I need it answered plz

    This may seem like a silly question but I am pretty new to
    dreamweaver but I am learning it. The question I have is this. When
    your typing a paragraph and hit enter to make the next line of text
    it goes down 2 spaces. Sometimes I don't want those two spaces. I
    want no space between the two sentences. How do you put one
    sentence below another with no spaces? Thanks in advance. I seems
    to have figured out all the other basic stuff except for this one
    thing lol. Thanks for the help in advance.

  • I am very new to Macs and iPhoto so this may be an idiot's question, but I have just created my first photo book and want to buy it, but the "buy book" button is not highlighted and when I click it nothing happens. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks!

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

  • Might sound like a newbie question but please help! (WRT610N)

    I purchased the WRT610N to replace my old WRT54G. I like the router overall, but I am running into glich after glich. I figured out most of them up to this point, but now I'm running out of ideas. Before the firmware upgrade release on 1-21-09 I was able to access my USB storage drive via hostname on my local network. For example any shares on my local network show up under my workgroup in windows Vista/XP (mixed enviornment). Now after the firmware update no matter what I do if I want to access my shares I have to type \\myroutersip\myshare. I have gotten so used to just going to my network places and and selecting WRT610N (which was the hostname) entering my predefined password,and accessing my share. How do I fix this? I thought about enabling/editing the hostfile, but I should not have to do that (at least I didn't before). If anyone knows how to accomplish this please reply. TIA  

    There is no such settings your router, which will disable your access to the Drive by the Host name.If you have any Firewall or Antivirus you can disable it and try accessing your Drive with the Host name.May be you can try one settings on your router, Login to your router setup page, click on the Storage Tab and Below you need to click on the Sub tab "Media Server" and Enable "UPnP Media Server" and click on Save Settings. I think this might solve your problem.

  • This is probably going to sound like a ridiculous question, but

    I have a lot of stuff on my iphone, and would like a folder or area where I can access/store the most important things (files, documents, pics, and video) in one place. I'm not talking about things on my mac computer (and I'm leery of downloading things onto my mac), but different things already on my iphone. For example I have a short video on facebook that I need to refer to often and quickly, but I have to go through a lot of steps to pull it up. I have soccer schedules, particular e-mails a picture or two, and other files that I would love to store all together on the phone where I could access it quickly (mabey in a folder of 'important stuff') Does anyone know how this could be done? I am pretty much computer illiterate, and was just wondering if there was a way or an app that would let me store a variety of different files so I don't have to go searching through a mountainous amount of information every time I was looking for the particular thing that I use the most often.

    sorry hate to break your heart but this cant be done.. the closest thing I can think of would be getting drop box and loading your docs and pictures into it but I dont think you can get a video off facebook to put on dropbox really this functionality is not on the iphone dropbox is as close as you will get..

  • Hi.  This may seem like a stupid question.  It's about email on the ipad2

    The ipad was set up before I left the apple store, and since this is the first apple device I own, (okay, many years ago I had an applie IIe), I don't know how to move emails from my trash folder back to the inbox.  I know to click edit, select the email, and then select move, but I can't seem to bring up the trash folder.  When I tap on an icon, and tap trash, it's just moving more emails to trash.  What am I doing wrong?

    When you are using the mail app, tap on the name of your mail account on the left side. The heading at the top should say Mailboxes with two sub headings - InBoxes and Accounts. Tap on the name of the account under the Accounts sub heading. Then tap the trash folder to get to the emails that you have deleted.
    I think - from what you are saying - you see the two email messages on the left side - not the email addresses. If that is what you are seeing - tap on the name of the mail account in the top left corner (an icon the that looks like an arrow pointing to the left with your mail account name in it) to take you back to where your mailbox folders are listed. If you keep tapping the icons in the upper left corner, eventually you will be back to the main mail window that I described above.

  • May sound like a dumb blonde......(no offence to other blondes lol)

    i;m considering replacing my ipod with the new nanos, however it says that itunes 8 is required.
    i still have itunes 7. if i download itunes 8 will all my songs still be there?? i dont want to loose the ones i have purchased

    Wrong forum, you're asking about a 4th generation iPod nano (this is the 3rd gen forum).
    Probable answer: yes iTunes 8 required, that's what is says on the specs, my guess is that the new "genius" functionality makes it mandatory.
    And about your library, no, iTunes will not loose anything.

  • This may sound dumb, but is there an app or a monthly subscription to carry wi-fi or internet connection. so i dont lose connection when i leave my house. want internet connection at all time

    I have an ipod touch 5th gen.  storage capacity is 27.9 / 23.3 available.  IOS 7.1.2    model # ME978LL/A.   My question is, now this may sound dumb. But i was wanting to know if there is a app or a monthly subscription to have internet connection or wi-fi at all times instead of just shutting my ipod off very few apps work without internet connection almost dosen't seem worth 300 dollars.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO.

    Your internet connection depends on access to a wifi network. When you leave your house you go out of range of your own network, so the only way to connect is to find a free or paid public wi-fi service in the location you are in at the time; the alternative is to use your iPhone for what is called 'tethering' (providing a wifi signal you iPod can connect to) but it you have an iPhone you would want to use that anyway (and many service providers don't allow it - in any case it comes expensive as you are using a mobile data connection).

  • When using FaceTime, my iMac makes noises.  It dings like I am receiving an email and sometimes sounds like a busy signal, but this is while I am talking to someone. Any suggestions?

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..
    Harv..

  • This may sound silly but can anyone tell me if facetime is done through wifii or is it charged as a long distance from canada to us

    this may sound silly but can anywone tell be if facetime is wifi or a long distance charge?

    FaceTime is NEVER charged. It is basically going through the internet, as if you were watching a YouTube video, it just takes data. You probably have a data limit through your wireless provider, for example, I can only use 3Gb of data per month on my iPhone 5 through AT&T.
    If you use Wi-Fi, you will NOT be charged for data (unless your internet provider has a cap on the amount of data you can use).
    If you do facetime over cellular data, you just have to watch your data usage. You can watch your data usage in Settings > General > Usage. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all offer free apps you can use to monitor your data usage (among many other things, like pay your wireless bill, etc.).

  • HT4864 Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for the blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there.

    You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

        Hi droidboy52999,
    Your email won't have the same confirmation number as it was ordered over the phone. You will need the last name used for the order, the location code (this ends in 01) and an order number (five to six digit number). Please keep us posted if you need further assistance with this.
