VERY CONFUSED and STUCK!!! About to throw computer out of window!

Hi,
I have been using a template with guidelines (are these paths?) to design within.
The shape I am designing within is a curved one, (for an ice cream tub) therefore any text I have used has had to follow the guidelines. (so bending slightly round the tub as it were)
Now that I have finished my artwork, I want to remove all lines (guides) so leaving just graphics. But I can't, all I do is remove the text too. Or else I get a message saying:
"Can't clear the objects. Can't split the text path into multiple text paths"
****How do I creat a line of text, to be skewed to follow a line, but remove the line JUST leaving text???****
Sorry, I am not au fait with teccy language, nor much of Illustrator language!
Can anyone help, pleeeeease?!
Thanks,
Charlotte.

UGH! Help!New Mac owner and I'm about to throw it out the window! Won't stay connected wirelessly to the internet.

I purchased a MacBook Pro 13":
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)
I have AT&T DSL with the 2wire wireless connected directly to the dsl line. There is no base computer. I owned a netbook prior to this and had several people use there pc laptops wirelessly before. Now I can't seem to get my Mac to stay connected wirelessly. My iPhone 4, touch and satalite still maintain perfect wireless connection as they did before. I called apple , they said it was my internet, I called AT&T they said it was the Mac. I have a similar post on AT&T, hopefully someone can help! This is NOT how I wanted my first Mac experience to go!!! It is vital I stay connected because I remote in to work constantly and can not be interrupted. Someone PLEASE help!!

Help! im about to throw this out the window if no one will help me

I had adobe digital editions on my other computer which broke, this one wont let me down load
im about to get a different reader if ADOBE cant get off its *** and help me

I'm totally frustrated, too. It seems like there's not much support. I was on here over a year ago and I got support right away, and it seemed like there was some staff person helping. I don't know what good it does to have Adobe Digital Editions for free if they aren't going to have any real assistance. I had problems with an older version and had to upgrade to 2.0. That worked for a long time, but now it's not working. So, I deleted it like your suppose to and downloaded 3.0, but that doesn't work. I've tried over and over. I even tried downloading 2.0 again and that doesn't work. Nothing works! And, there's no way to read the files. I've tried all kinds of programs. I've got 555 books. It looks like I'm going to have to give up on Adobe. I'll have to download my books from to my Kindle app. At least I know Kindle works. This Adobe Digital looks nice, but if they aren't going to help, I'll just never use it again.

Getting error code 1611 when trying to restore my Ipod. I have tried a forced restore and disabling my computer security and still nothing...ready to throw it out the window at this stage...help!!

Getting error code 1611 when trying to restore my Ipod. I have tried a forced restore and disabling my computer security and still nothing...ready to throw it out the window at this stage...help!!

Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
If you also unsuccessful on another computer then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It would see that your iPod needs service as specified in the article.

I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated. Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?

No need to apologize, Jim. I think your rant was justified. For years people have been telling me how easy the Mac was to use. Imagine my frustration when I finally learned from friends and users that it takes weeks or months to make the transition from Windows to Mac.
Still, I agree that I acted to too hastily when I returned my mini-mac to the store only three days after I bought it.
I'm going to try again, this time with an iMac. This time I'll keep it. Since this thread is for the mini-Mac only, I'll probably be starting a new one for the iMac.
Why did I decide to try again? Well, I do like the faster speed and compact hardware of the Macs. I also like the fact that I can install Windows and use that for my programs until I transition completely to Mac, IF I make the complete transition.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I have paid attention to what you said.

HT4509 The globe button swaps places with the 123 button on iPhone 6 when the phone orientation is changed from upright to landscape or the other way arround. This is very confusing and makes it hard to type fast.

Is there a way to change that?

iOS 8.1 didn't fix this

HT4864 I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

Forwarding email from comcast to icloud is different than icloud managing comcast email. One disadvantage of forwarding is that when you respond to an email originally sent to the comcast address and forwarded to icloud, your reply will have the icloud address as the source, not your comcast. That is a problem for many users.
If your comcast account is IMAP, then there's no reason to forward. Just define two accounts in your mail app, one for comcast and one for icloud. Once done, you don't have to worry about dealing with two services, it's all done in a unified way.
And.... you are not talking to Apple here, we're just users like you. Apple doesn't participate in these forums.

Phone locked up- and I am ready to throw it out the window

Last night before going to bed, I plugged my phone in to charge. (Using the IPhone charger and plugged into the wall). My phone is currently showing the battery, yesterday's date and the time of 9:22pm. I can't get the phone to do anything. I just held down the on/off button for 5 minutes but I can't get it to turn off.
This is the second phone that I have had that has this issue (returned the first one and it was sent in to Apple. I got a letter back that they could not fix it and they sent a new phone).
Any suggestions??

Any suggestions??
Yes - don't throw it out the window.
If you are unable to perform a Reset by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake key simultaneously until seeing the white Apple logo and then release which forces a system restart or this doesn't work and if so, you are also unable to perform a complete Restore, call AppleCare - (800) 694-7466.

Here is what worked for me:

Does the iPod/iTunes go through all the steps of restoring the iPod? If yes then:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

Sorry, does this link work
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
I ended up having them call me then was able to give them 1 of my secret questions right and they reset things so I could reset all my secret questions.
Try going into contact support and see if you can schedule a call. There seems to be some issues with peoples' id's and this update. iTunes thought that I'd never bought anything from my computer or device before, and I clearly had, so it's like it got confused. THen I tried to get my questions reset, but the mail never came, which is why I just got a phone call because I felt it was 'real person' time.

Hi
First of all I would recommend checking the HDD for errors HDD malfunction might affect the computer performance you should check the HDD using the freeware toolsone of the tools which I use is the Drive Fitness Test it was posted several times here in the forum and its really great software.
If the HDD would be ok and if no error would be detected, then I would recommend disabling some processes which are not important for you in many cases different tools would be loaded during the OS boot procedure and such tools run in the background which slow down the OS.
Start msconfig and check the Startup Tab
Here you will see all the software which is loaded at the beginning you can uncheck not necessary tools
Note: if you are not sure what the single process means, use google and search in internet for more details otherwise dont disable this.

Lost all of my photos... ever... and want to throw computer out window

The hard drive on my Macbook (third Macbook actually, the first two were ALSO defective... might as well have bought a Dell) was faulty. Before taking it in to get repaired, I backed up the Documents and My Pictures folders to an external hard drive. When I copied the folders from the external hard drive, all of the pictures APPEAR to be there, but in iPhoto they're only thumbnails. If I try to click on any photo, I get a fuzzy white exclamation point on a black background. The photo information in the lower left hand corner still says 1.1 MB, or whatever, but I can't open any of the photos.
Could this be because the new hard drive install is iPhoto '08 and the old one had, I guess '06, but definitely a different version? Could it just be that I am not mac-compatible and should not ever try to use a computer again? Could it just need to be thrown out the window? I've tried hitting it, that does not help...

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Regards

STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

Lets run down a list of possibilities:
1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.
