This might be a dumb question. But when...

I back up my HD is it backing up my applications like all my Adobe software or any games or anything in my applications folder? What exactly is being backed up I guess is my question? Thanks

This depends on the backup program. My software, SuperDuper, makes a complete clone of the hard disk, and other software does, as well. Time Machine backs up your drive, as well as documents you draft and update. Other software only backs up critical documents. It depends on what you want to back up.
It makes sense to back up the whole drive, since that includes updates and miscellaneous files that are on your hard drive. For example, on my SuperDuper backup, every file on my HD is duplicated on my backup. Of course, that means that you must have a backup drive of sufficient size

Shazam is a 3rd party application. You need to ask Shazam why they are charging Nokia users and not iPhone users.

Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
Thanks!

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
Hope this helps,

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.
Thank you,

Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.

Hi Winterwilly,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below answers your question of how to use QuickTime to record something on your MacBook Pro’s screen.

Might be a dumb question, but I am moving from 1st gen to iPadair; on Safari, 1st gen to delete apps/sites just visited, you could double tap home key and apps would appear on bottom and one could delete from there. How does it work on ipadair?

This may be a dumb question, but nonetheless, here goes:
I just moved from 1st gen ipad to new ipad-air. Great and happy! But, one thing I can't figure out how to do is to delete the pages/sites/apps that I have just used? For example, on the 1st gen. you could double-tap home button and past actions would come up on bottom of screen. I could then delete them one by one, to keep things cleaned up. Am I missing something here? Does it keep a log irregardless? Not the same as deleting history - at least didnt' work for me.

Close apps and not delete apps.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

OK This might be a dumb question....

I know that Appleworks is not going to be updated. I even have a copy of Pages already. My questions is this; I keep getting this:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x0000000017874000
Crashed Thread: 0
When I open Appleworks anymore. It started doing this not long after I updated to 6.9. I know that Pages does almost everything Appleworks does. Except that which I use Appleworks for, drawing! I do have Graphic Converter but I do not like it as well as I like Appleworks.
My husband tried today to give me a copy of Appleworks but even that gave me the above error when I went to report it after it failed. It gets to Starting Points and crashes. I'm ready to take the copy from my old laptop and see if that one works on this one. Any ideas that might help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Is that from a crash report? I don't read crash reports, so I don't know what it means. But, since this happened after you updated to AppleWorks 6.2.9, it may only need some simple "housekeeping." Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them.

I currently have a White iPhone 4S 16GB, at the time I purchased it through Verizon they had told me that I had to get the White version since the Black version was still out of stock. I figured that I can use the 14 day guarantee to my advantage so that when the Black version came back into stock I could just swap it out, well that wasn't the case at all since it didnt come back into stock in that time frame. So I'm stuck with a White iPhone at the moment when I really just want the Black iPhone. I spoke with Verizon and they informed me that there was nothing else that they could do but that it was possible to bring my iPhone into a store and see if they would be willing to exchange it for the Black iPhone. Before I went into Apple and testing this theory out, does anyone here know if this is a plausible solution or am I basically just stuck with the iPhone that I have?

Bottom line, you made a gamble and lost. There is now
no other way to get a black iPhone other than to buy a
new one outright (full retail) and sell the white one.

This might be a dopey question, but...

Absolutely needing to work with images on a server, the update to 10.4.6 and it's issues with Photoshop, is giving my co-worker a headache.
If he archives and installs, to 10.4 are the updates to 10.4.5 still available?
I did a quick search of the main support site and found only 10.4.6.
Will he be stuck in 10.4 until 10.4.7?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, Vincent.
Before performing a downgrade install as you're considering, I'd spend some time trying to solve the problem, particularly checking the Adobe knowledge base or the Adobe forums for Photoshop. It would also help if you'd specify the version of Photoshop that's having the problem and if all appropriate updates to that version of Photoshop have been applied.
Downgrade installs can be very dodgy. Apple does not recommend them, as they note in the "About 'Downgrade' installations" section at the end of "Mac OS X: Troubleshooting installation and software updates." Additional information about why downgrade installs are problematic can be found in "Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X."
If you want to try a downgrade install to 10.4.5 from 10.4.6, you can see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ. In step (4b), install the Mac OS X 10.4.5 Combo Update, then follow the rest of the steps. Note that:• Downgrade installs are performed at your own risk. While the downgrade method outlined above has worked for many, Apple does not recommend downgrade installations and one cannot account for how variances between individual users' systems may affect the outcome. Again, use at your own risk: you break it, you fix it.
• I would only test third-party applications in Step 5 as Apple apps are likely to run into the issues with the Previous Systems folder noted in "Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X."
• Apple apps should be safe to test after Step 6, but you may still run into problems due to 10.4.6-related changes in preferences files in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. Discarding the preferences files for Apple applications that are problematic after a downgrade install may solve the problem with those applications.Good luck!

Might be a dumb question but.......

I bought a Q10 yesterday. It's cool, so far, BUT, in upgrading, my carrier, who shall remain nameless, required I switch to a different data plan because the one I had (unlimited text, data, everything) was being phased out. In lieu of that, I thought, no problem, I can utilize the wi0fi feature when I'm home to save on using up too much data. That seems like a fine plan but I can't seem to get it to work. When I go in to connect to the internet, it connects but then it seems to be sidablilng on it's own? Is there a security setting or something I'm missing?? It would make sense to me that I should have to go in and disable the Network Settings to use wi-fi but I just don't know, now.
And are there limitations on using wi-fi, such as access to social network sites, etc? Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Debbie

Have you connected to your home wifi network on your Q10, i.e. on settings go to Network connections select wifi and when you see your wifi connect to it.
I have multiple wifi connections setup on mine, home, work, various coffee shops, cloud wifi etc and everytime I come in range of one of those it autimatically uses that for data rather than the mobilr network which only uses if I'm not near one of those.

I just changed my ISP and would like to change my email address on my iTunes account. How would I go about doing that?
Thanks for your help.
If this post belongs elsewhere, please feel free to move it.

When you sign in to the itunes store there is box called view account and you can edit your information there, hope that answered what you are looking for.

I need some help. I have just about filled my hard drive on my computer up. I have an external hard drive that I would like to put iTunes and all of my music "stuff" on. However, I can not for the life of me figure out how to do this. Can someone please explain how to do it. And hopefully pretty basically because I am good with computers but not the best!
Thank you for your help!

hey maybe you can try consolidating your library...first to your pc and then to your external...u can find that in the itunes menu..
hope this will work
good luck!
