What exactly can you do with NFC on WinPhone 8.1?

Hi
I was wondering when "exciting" things are gonna happen with NFC technology. So, yeah, we can "share pictures, contacts and more" by tapping phones against each other. Boring, especially when you think about it that with "old technology" like bluetooth you can share things without tapping phones against each other :-)
Yes, you can buy tags that let you automatically launch apps. Handy, but not groundbreaking.
Yes, it can automatically pair to a quite expensive speaker (given the sound quality) when you put your phone on top of it. My phone just pairs via bluetooth when I'm home, without having to put my phone on top of a speaker...
The really nice thing about NFC, I think, is that you could theoretically use it to go inside the metro by passing your phone along the reader instead of your usual metro card (cities like Amsterdam and London use NFC chips in their metrocards to go in and out of the metro). If you have an accident, somebody else could theoretically tap your phone to see your health information, or telephone numbers of people to be warned.
You could easily connect your Visa/Master/Goldcard to your phone (via Wallet in WP's case) and pay "contactlessly".
Windows Phones have NFC for already a few years and nothing much happens around it. Apple launches the Iphone6 and says that they are working on a payment system based on Visa+NFC. I hope Microsoft doesn't miss this train...
So, what else could we do with NFC?

Apple is not working on anything, they implemented an existing system and provide an app to use it. You can use any NFC equiped phone provided the carrier supports this which is where the problem lies, the carriers. Windows Phone has support for this functionality and has done so for almost two years.

What exactly can you do with aperture?

Hi, I'm going to be switch from my PC to an Imac. I do alot of picture editing, just for fun for the most part. Right now I have Adobe photoshop elements 7, Printmaster, Picasa 3 that I use. What would you folks recommend? I would like to start to get a little more serious though. Would what comes standard in the Imac 21.5 be sufficient? Or should I have the aperture 3 installed. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Yep, Terrence hit it on the head, pretty much. Aperture is designed to be great with RAW files (which are basically the uncompressed data that your camera recorded the moment you clicked the shutter - as opposed to the compressed JPG files that most point-and-shoot digital cameras save). Aperture also lets you create very impressive custom books from the included templates. You also have a fairly robust layout program built in to the book editor, so you can use their templates as a starting point and customize them as much as you want. Aperture is also known for its good organizational features, which are handy for wrangling large sets of images.
If none of that is critical to you, iPhoto should suit you just fine.

What exactly do you get with the analytics?

So I've been trying to do some research on the Analytics that you get with both the pro and enterprise account... and I've yet to get a clear answer as to what type of analyitics you even get in general... the best I could find is that you can tie in SiteCatylst with the enterprise account... but that doesn't tell me anything more than "you get analytics with pro, and you can plug in with sitecatylst with enterprise!"
So besides the basic "this was downloaded X amount of times" what type of analytics do you even get? and what are the additional analytics you get with enterprise subscription?
Anyone got a nice list?
Thanks ahead of time...

You can learn about base-level analytics here (video included):

This topic is general because the type of base reports provided is continually changing based on feedback. If you have an account with SiteCatalyst, your analytics data is much more extensive and customizable.

What exactly can you do on the iCloud Website?

Instead of worring about iCloud pushing changes all of my divices could I just input changes to my calendar, contacts, or reminders directly on the website? The reason I ask is that both my work and home computers would require substantial upgrading.

Yes you can but it will not go to your devices unless you set them up.

Can you help with InDesign CS5 index problem?

   This is my first attept at creating an Index. I've pretty much tried everything I can think of to get this index to work properly. I think I might have made some fundamental errors in creating this document. I created a document and not a book. I placed 5 text files without linking them. I thought I could simply use the index panel and enter my words from the toc and front matter and InDesign would find all the occurences in the document. But when I ran the index I got the toc pg numbers and the index pg numbers only, i.e., Illumination vi-225 (p225 being the index pg). So far I have:
reentered all the index entries to using the "whole document" because I had originally chose "This page" for each entry - that didn't work
then I threaded the 5 text files thinking that might work - nope!
then I saved the file as a book and tried using that - that didn't work.
   And yes, I have searched the Adobe CS5 help books, videos, online sites, etc. I'm hoping it's something simple! I would truly appreciate any help with this. Thank you!

You don't have any Shape layers, so you won't have any fill or stroke options. If you had a rectangle and line layer, you have either deleted them, or caused them to be rasterized. That would also remove any Fill and Stroke options from the Options bar.
The 'little camera' at the bottom of the Tool bar, is the Quick mask icon. Clicking on it toggles between standard and Quick mask modes, like you said. Clicking on it is exactly the same as hitting the q key. It has absolutely nothing to do with Shape layers.
What you need to do now, is regroup. What exactly are you trying to achieve, and what do you expect to see in your Workspace? You will have noticed that your workspace is context sensitive. It automatically changes according to what tools are selected, or what function you are using at any particular time.

So what exactly do u do with a mac mini?

Hey All,
So, what exactly are you supposed to do with a mac mini ? Im pretty much of a straight up PC guy (although that may change as I played around with my nikon d50 and some macs last year and liked the results of my photos), but a friend has a mac mini set up in his living room that from what I see he uses more or less as jukebox. Is the mac mini just a multi media device, or can it do more advnaced things like working with digital photos, (i,e, photoshop), etc.
Thanks

Yeah, it fooled me allright (thats an understatement), I really had no idea what to make of it, was it a computer, just a media machine, etc....I dont follow the latest technology at all, so when I saw my friends mac mini hooked up to his tv/monitor, and able to access all his movie and media files in addition to surfing the internet, I was pretty dumbfounded that all that could be done with such a little box. I suppose I could also do all that with my Dell PC also, but I like the small footprint of the mac mini.
Anyway, just ordered the 2 gig mini with 2 gigs of RAM, hopefully it will work out ok for me. All I really want to use it for is to load my music and DVD collection on there, surf the web, and do some digital photoediting...Im not that much of a gamer, so its lack of ability on that regard doesnt bother me.
Im actually kind of looking forward to getting a mac again, the Dell PC and Dell laptop I have are only about two years old, but they are slow as heck due to spyware and other nasties....
By the way, I did have a chance to check out some imacs last fall, Im not sure if it was me or not, but macs sure do seem to display graphics better than PC's (at least my PC anyway)...

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
What updates are you trying to download?
The last update was 9.0.3 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Photoshop Elements
The last supported Camera raw is ACR 6.5 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-ins -> Camera Raw
Do you have a reason to update?

Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer. Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem. Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct. Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi,
Sincerely appreciate your help. Running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS420. System has been very stable for years. Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems. The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints.
Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
Will let you know how things go.
Richard

Can you help with one more iCal problem?

Thanks to this forum,I finally got rid of the double entries. But I must still have something missing because when I post one device, it does not enter on the other. I know iCloud is turned on in Settings on my iPad and iCal is turned on. Each are working separately, just not together. What am I not doing?

You don't have any Shape layers, so you won't have any fill or stroke options. If you had a rectangle and line layer, you have either deleted them, or caused them to be rasterized. That would also remove any Fill and Stroke options from the Options bar.
