Two silly questions that need an answer

Thanks in advance.
IMAC - INTEL CORE DUO - CPU SPEED 2ghz
1) When I drag something into the trash, it asks 'The item ______ will be deleted immediately. Are you sure you want to continue?
Where is the setting in the finder that just places it in the trash and lets me empty the trash when I want? I have looked everywhere, finder prefs, etc.
2) When I want to archive something to a CD, there are times where the little 'arrow' comes up and only places an 'alias' of what I want to copy on the CD. I think I can avoid this my pressing 'option' but why can't I just copy it to a CD without doing this. I know I have done it in the past.
Thanks again.

Yes, if you actually want to save it until you manually enter the Trash.
I'm not sure exactly what the reasoning behind this is but it seems to be common among operating systems (at least Mac OS and Windoze). My system at work is a Wintel and wants to immediately delete trashed items from network drives (and even floppies) as soon as you trash them.
I think that the problem is that the information that the file/folder is trashed has to be saved somewhere. If it's saved on the network drive, the next person to log onto the drive will see the item in the trash which would allow them to empty it (messing with your intention to "save" the trashed item). If the info is saved on your local drive, someone else logging onto the network drive wouldn't know that the item is trashed and, for them, it might just dissapear at any time (when you empty your trash). Therefore, it seems easier to just trash the item immediately and avoid all this confusion.

    I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions  that I forgot the awnsers to. Than I click the forgot security questions than it sends it to my email but that's the problem I do not get any email.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

    Does anyone know if there's a way to change the questions themselves?  (Frankly, they have to be the most ridiculous security questions I've ever seen.  A good security question should be one that you'll have no problem remembering the answer to, even if you're asked years later.  To answer one from the third batch, I'd have to make something up, which makes it unlikely I'll remember the answer later.  And I certainly don't want to have to write the answers down somewhere.)

    Is it possible to chat in polish with Adobe experts or contact them by phone in Poland ? I have a question that is not answered on Adobe website.

    Ok, I made a fresh provider hosted application to test out Dragan's suggested solution.
    You can view the repository here:
    https://github.com/mattmazzola/providerhosted_01
    After comparing this new application and the old one, I realized I had a misunderstanding of how the SP.RequestExecutor expected urls to be constructed. I thought it was required to use the SP.AppContextSite() endpoint.
    I was incorrectly constructing a request to the appWeb with a url similar to the following:
    https://contoso-6f921c6addc19f.sharepoint.com/ProviderHostedApp/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/contextinfo?@target=%27https%3A%2F%2Fcontoso-6f921c6addc19f.sharepoint.com%2FProviderHostedApp%27
    As you can see, the @target was set to the appWeb url but infact when making request to the appWeb using RequestExecutor you do no need to do this.  It is simply appweburl + "/_api/contextinfo".  It is only when making requests for
    resources existing on the hostWeb that you need use the AppContextSite and set the @target.
    I think the link to the solution I provided is more helpful, but I marked Dragan's reply as the answer to give him credit for helping me.

    My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.  How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether?  I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Retake the quiz questions that got wrong answers

    Hi,
    I psuedo-asked this before, but I'll ask it outright this
    time.
    In using Captivate 3, is there any way to make the user take
    the quiz a second time, but skip over the questions that they have
    gotten correct, requiring them to redo only the questions they have
    gotten wrong? Has anybody found a clever way to get around this?
    Right now I can only redirect them to the beginning (with the
    continue button) and have them retake the whole quiz.
    Please let me know if there's a way around this, Thanks!

    I guess you need to take a moment to look at commercial LMS
    offerings. They
    are heavily standards based - with the AICC standards being
    around 20 years
    old, and Blackboard being 11 years old, for instance. I don't
    understand why
    you feel the need to suggest LMSs are so new, but perception
    is a personal
    thing.
    Privately developed course tracking is a different bucket of
    eels.

    Maybe insteasd of getting all upitty, you could look again at
    what I said.
    "If I understand you right ..."
    Then you could, perhaps, for a second, just think about
    showing me how I
    misunderstood you. Maybe, just possibly, more people than I
    have
    misunderstood your point. Maybe you should consider that
    perhaps this would
    be a more productive approach than assuming I have some
    personal beef with
    you.
    So - Please explain your contention that Captivate should
    create LMS
    databases. I'd like to understand your point to see if
    a) what you are asking actually is possible, and
    b) to see if I would even find it useful.

    Hi Mission73,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below explains how to change your rescue email address and/or reset your Apple ID security questions.
    You can attempt to answer your security questions in order to change your rescue email.
    If you are unable to remember the answers to your security questions and the rescue email address has changed -- contact Apple ID Security for asissistance.
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    When creating a new Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you will be asked to provide an optional rescue email address. If you have an existing Apple ID that you use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you may be asked to provide some additional security information, including a rescue email address. When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided. The rescue email address you provide cannot be the same as your primary email address for your Apple ID. In most cases, your primary email address is the same as your Apple ID username.

  • HT5312 Spoke with Apple "support" today about the Security Questions that R blocking us from using i-Tunes. The guy told us to just keep  GUESSING his answers.  How can U guess answers to Questions that U NEVER answered. Now he's locked out for 8 hrs. :(

    We spoke to Customer "support" today, as we can't use i-Tunes for a new i-Pod gift for Christmas.  The reason this iPod was bought is because he can no longer upload i-Tunes to his old one because it's a Ver. 3 and it demands you upgrade it (which we tried numerous times before getting into one  of these chat rooms and discovering that the iPod 3 is not compatible with the upgrade!! Really makes them all a waste of MONEY.  Not happy.
    Anyway, the "ADVICE" from the Apple "support" guy was to just keep guessing the answers to the questions.  WHAT!  He never answered them before, they weren't necessary before, so how can he guess the answers, to questions that were non-existent when he originally created his ID??
    Does anyone have any advice regarding this, as I think he has already attached his credit (also a gift) to his ORIGINAL ID, so even if he creates a NEW Apple ID, he will lose that Credit.   So furstrated right now!

    I assume that you don't have a rescue email address on your account ? How did you contact support ? You should be able to contact them in your country via this link and they should be able to reset the questions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • I need to fdisk my laptop, how do I save my iTunes and reinstall it once I set my laptop up again? Might be a silly question with a simple answer..! I hope so :)

    I have no idea how to do this, I'd welcome some support/information on how I can save my iTunes and set it back up again once my laptop has been fdisk'd..
    I don't really understand iCloud. That might be the answer!
    If you can help, please explain in layman's terms.
    Thank you in advance!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.  Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, type "back up itunes library" into the google search bar.

  • Silly question, that i'm sure has been answered....

    i'm using handcent for sms, but the stock mesaging app is still showing notifications and sms count. how do i fix? can you disable it entirely? 

    that may be the problem? i may not have noticed it before, but it could've been doing it for all i know. before, i removed the app from the homescreen, so if it was showing the bubble i would've never noticed. i did the same thing now (replaced the stock app with handcent on the homescreen)....but my new lockscreen shows the stock phone, mail, camera, and message app on it by default (for quicker direct access i suppose) so i'm forced to see the counter bubble thingy (don't let my technical descriptions intimidate anyone...lol) on the stock app. fyi...this is all after the update, which is now irrelevant  

Maybe you are looking for
