  • What does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.

    what does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products." I want to buy a photo book and that message keeps popping up.

    TD, LN - You guys make great points and I will take you at your word. Normally, I would not hesitate to update. I have a lot at stake here with a large vacation coming up with a great many new pictures anticipated. I don't know enough to understand what is meant by "verifying my library." Please give me some insight there and I will start the upgrade process tonight! Seriously, I have wanted to do this for some time, but have been scared away by reading too many situations on these forums.
    TD - you have a good sense of humor. I know all versions eventually need to be left to die away. Support is not eternal. I am sure I missed the announcement that certain versions of iPhoto would no longer offer the ability to conveniently make cards, calendars, books, etc. Like the original poster, I was surprised to learn my version did not offer that functionality only by requesting it and getting denied. Sort of frosted me at the time, as you can tell by my original reply here.
    If anyone can help me with the "verifying" question, I'll get off of here and let the original poster have his thread back! 

  • HT5293 what does it mean if this pops up when getting on a network. it read, unable to join due to another device is using this ip address.

    what does it mean when the message , "can not join network due to another device using this ip address?"

    Most likely, you're getting a network address from your router. The address assignment ("lease") expires, and has to be renewed, after a certain amount of time, which might be one hour or one day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device was offline at the time. Meanwhile, the address was leased to another device on the network. When the first device comes back online, it still has the address that's now also leased to the second device. Depending on what kind of router you have, the conflict may resolve itself automatically. If not, then from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the TCP/IP tab. Now look at the menu labeled Configure IPv4. If the selection in that menu is Using DHCP, click the button labeled Renew DHCP Lease. Test.
    Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself, and another device is assigning itself the same address. In that case, the selection in the Configure IPv4 menu will be either Manually or Using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict won't be resolved automatically. You have the following options to resolve it:
    Change the menu selection to Using DHCP.
    Change the manually-assigned address to one that isn't being used by another device.
    Change the address of the other device.  
    Which of these options you should choose depends on the details of why you're using a static IP address. Any change you make to the network settings must be applied before it takes effect. To do that, click OK and then Apply.

    Also: How can I specify the browser in Edge Animate? It is just going wherever. Are there no Preferences for Edge Animate?
    BTW. Just call it Edge. Seriously. Do you call it Illustrator Draw? Photoshop Retouching?

    No, my file name is mainContent.oam
    My project name is mainContent.an
    This error happens when I try to import into Dreamweaver. Sorry, I wasn't clear on that earlier.
    I thought maybe it was because I had saved my image as a png. So re-saved as a svg, still get the error.
    DO I have a setting is Dreamweaver CC that is wrong? Should I try this in Dreamweaver CS6? I might try that next.
    Why is this program so difficult? I know Flash. I know After Effects. I can work the timeline part just great. It's always in the export that I have problems.

    Are you an Adobe person or just a nice helper?

  • Trash not supported? What does that mean...?

    Trash not supported? What does that mean...?

    When you trash something from within FCPX -- it is completely deleted (from Events or Projects); it is not sent to the system trash - there will be nothing to recover if you make a mistake. If you archived your sources outside of an Event, the originals *will not* be deleted. Do not delete an Event that contains original source media unless you are sure! You will lose it.

  • My sons ipod touch has a lock with a arrow circle around it (next to the battery life) what does this mean

    my sons ipod toucj has a lock with a circle arrow around it (next to the battery life) what does this mean?

    that would be the rotation lock
    it can be activated and deactivated by double clicking the home button (round button at the base of the ipod)
    and if you swipe along the bottom from left to right 
    you should see the same symbol on the left.

    Hi,
    What does ::unspecified:: mean in Analytics in DPS? I checked the issue folio pages, and each page has a Title and Kicker associated in the metadata, but ::unspecified:: keeps showing up in the analytics reports.
    Thanks!

    I am also running up against this in an Enterprise license.  Each article has a title and kicker. Here is a screenshot if that helps.

  • HT1414 i get an error 9 what does that mean?

    i get an error 9 what does that mean?

    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
