Wen I save stuff I can't use the (:).  It showes the (-) instead.

When I put in the title of what I want to save I can't make the (:). It showes the instead. For example, if I save a time like 22:00, it comes out 22-00. I figured it was the keyboard and bought a new one. If it is the keyboard, it is obviously a manufacturing error. Is anyone else having this problem?

When using my iMac G4 with 10.3.9, and "save as" etc, the same limitations
exist. Since I have not been using my other computer as much with 10.4.8 installed,
I'm not sure if Tiger offers more text options when chosing saved item titles.
[Apparently not; since you are using a later system at this time.]
Since I've used most versions of OSX since the first Public Beta, which
was a very limited experimental system, there have been less choices
in saving item text compared to OS 9.2.2. Some file names have limits.

  • Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file??

    Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file?? I have no idea where it is!! Extremely frustrating and not at all user friendly!! Took my 6.99 British pounds and not a sausage to be had!!

    It sounds like you may have purchased a CreatePDF subscription through safari, using our web interface. If this is the case, the good news is that subscription will also work with the (free) Adobe Reader. Simply install the Reader from the App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    Once installed, you can then use "Open In" from another app like Mail to open the Word document in Adobe Reader. Reader will show the word doc, but it will also show you a message pointing to the "convert" button (A document with an arrow through it in the toolbar). Pressing this button should prompt you to sign into Acrobat.com. Use the same account you used to purchase your subscription and Reader will upload the word document for conversion, placing it in the Acrobat.com and Outbox section of the Reader. Please let me know if you have trouble!

  • How can I use applet to get the desktop image of client

    hi,I have a question to ask u.
    How can I use applet to get the desktop image of client? Now I develop a web application and want user in the client to get his current image of the screen.And then save as a picture of jpeg format ,then upload it to the server?
    I have done an application to get the screen image and do upload file to server in a servlet with the http protocal.

    Since the desktop image is on the client's local hard drive, you'll need to look at trusted applets first.

  • How the **** do i get back my library i was just using.No didn't save image or restore been using it for months the same way no tells me to choose or create a library and my previous versions don't recover

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • How can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

  • HT4901 I have HughesNet with a capped amount of Internet capacity. How can I use iCloud but adjust the time it is on to conserve my Internet allowance and not have to backup my information all the time????

    I have HughesNet satellite for an ISP with a capped amount of Internet capacity. How can I use iCloud but adjust the time it is on to conserve my Internet allowance and not have to back up my information all the time?

    Thanks Roger W1,
    Yes, I was using iTunes to sync over cable without problems since orinigal purchase in 2011 and using 10.6 w/o problem. There was an "update" in Nov 2012 that crashed the sync service. I went to the Apple Store and reviewed the problem with the Geniuses there. It was discovered at that time that the update included mandated use of iCloud but enough of the un-updated code remained that he was able to patch functions to allow Microsoft Office to still sync over iTunes.
    This March (+/-) there was another "update" to 10.6 that totally destroyed the patch that was in place so there was no sync service available between Microsoft and iTunes what-so-ever. Then recently, because of some unknown process, all my notes, contacts, and calendars were erased in both my Apple utilities and Microsoft utilities.
    After many hours of frustration I was able to recover most of the information to the Apple utilities only, but those were unstable. At my visit to the Apple store it was suggested that an upgrade to 10.8 might solve the stability problem. That it did but being connected to the iCloud all the time keeps using up all my Internet time and I have nothing left to check emails or do research.
    This, to me, is not my problem but one created by Apple. I have searched the Internet and support groups and there doesn't seem to be a solution.
    The "aircraft mode" turns off all other communication functions and is not acceptable. Neither is disconnecting/turning off Airport on my MBP.
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • How can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

    how can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

    What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
    You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
    If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
    But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
    Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
    MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
    (I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...)

    Mirror, if your MBP is early 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or newer.  If older visit www.airparrot.com, a third party app that works OK, mixed reviews but mine works well.

  • How can i use dsadm to change the ldap port?

    I have a ldap with port 1389,I changed it to 389,now I can not start it because it is a non root user.
    Now I want to change the port back to 1389,but I can not use dsconf because the server is not running.
    How can i do now? How can i use dsadm to change the port?
    Thank u very much.

    My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude/impolite.
    I just wanted to emphasize that in a situation where a Directory Server doesn't even start, you cannot interact with the live server to configure the new port (either talking LDAP or otherwise). All you can do in that case won't be related with the LDAP (that's just the name of the protocol): either assigning network privileges to the user, or changing the Directory Server configuration file.
    The other thing I'd like to outline (and this could take a separate thread ;-) ), is that semantically, I'd prefer talking of a Directory Server instead of an LDAP Server because the former is 'something' providing Directory Services, whereas the latter is just the name of the protocol we use to interact with the server; but this is just my personal opinion, you don't have to agree with me.
    that's all folks!

  • How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

    How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft website I've clicked the options which mean I shouldn't need the CD (which wasn't supplied with the laptop), but poartway through updating the service pack I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Did you mean a Office or One Note?
    As far as I know the One Note is a part of the Recovering Image and the CD is not delivered with the unit. Furthermore the Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.
    Nevertheless, did you check the update function in the Help i.e. in Word?
    There you will find a options called Check for Updates

  • How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it.

    How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it. I receive a dialogue box which states previews are not allowed in  aperture and the application is shut down.

    Aperture is Apples version of Lightroom. This has nothing to do with Adobe. Ask on a Apple forum. You won't find many people here using this program.
