  • The option to add a hyperlink to a text or image is greyed out and not functional.  How do I fix this?

    The option to add a hyperlink to text or an image in pages is greyed out.  How do I fix this?

    Peter is correct. However, one can clever up two overlayed, grouped Text Box and simulate a hyperlinked image that can be placed in the document body with text flowing around the image. Moving the image requires temporarily turning off the hyperlink in the Link inspector. Example was Pages ’09 v4.3 on OS X 10.8.4.
    Steps:
    From the Pages Toolbar, select Text Box twice. The Text Box will be slightly offset. Select and drag the offset one to just above the centered one.
    Click inside the centered Text Box and back out the placeholder text. Now select this Text Box and choose the graphic inspector.
    Choose Fill > Image Fill. Choose your image, and then Scale to Fit the entire Text Box.
    From the Pages arrange menu, choose Make Background Objects Selectable, and Send Object to Background.
    In the Wrap inspector, select Object Causes Wrap, and your choice there. My example was door #2.
    Click inside your text-only Text Box. Change the placeholder text to three instances of the capital letter ‘O.’
    Launch the Font panel (command+T).
    Manually change the font size to 92 points. This just fits a default Text Box size without wrapping. I used Times New Roman Regular.
    Select the text, and with the Link inspector, enable your choice of hyperlink, and also disable it (for now) with the “Make all hyperlinks inactive.”
    With the text still selected, choose Font color from the Font panel. At the bottom of the Color tool, set the Opacity of your text to zero.
    Drag the transparent text-only Text Box exactly over the top of your image Text Box. Use the blue guides.
    From the Pages edit menu, Select All. From the Pages Arrange menu, choose Group.
    Drag the Text Box group where you want it in your document body. Text will flow around it if you used my setting in the Wrap inspector.
    Lastly, with the Text Box group selected, disable “Make all Hyperlinks inactive” in the Link Inspector. You now effectively have a text map overlaying your image and the mouse pointer changes to a hand. The link is now active. Exporting your Pages document to PDF preserves the hyperlinked image effect in both Preview and Acrobat Reader.

  • HT1620 I have been trying to download iOS 6.1 on my ipad.  It takes between 6-8 hours to download and after about 4-5 hours it send me an error message and cannot download. How can I delete this downloa? it will not let me download any apps

    I have been trying to download iOS 6.1 on my ipad.  After its been downloading for about 4 hours, I receive a message that there is an error and cannot download.  How can I delete this download from my settings?  I tried downloading other apps, but it will not let me unless I download iOS 6.1

    What iOS are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    Hi lepyykko,
    If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right?  The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer.  Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.

  • HT4623 I have the 1st ipad 3G wifi cell 64g and it keeps crashing how can I fix this problem

    I have the 1st ipad 3G wifi cell 64g and it keeps crashing how can I fix this ?
    I have restored network settings and cleared history etc ..

    Try closing all apps and reboot the iPad. Clear Safari again as well.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    As I said in the other thread that you posted in the other forum, your friend clearly has not restored the iPad correctly. I suggest that you undertake another restore and start again.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Given what you've have described, your friend cannot have restored the iPad correctly. You need to decide whether you are willing to delete his contacts manually, or carry out another restore. Personally I think I would go for the restore.

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

  • My messages screen on the iphone 4 is stuck kina like frozen and it wont rotate how can i fix this

    my messages screen on the iphone 4 is stuck kina like frozen and it wont rotate how can i fix this?

    Double tap home button quickly in new row of icons at bottom, tap and hold your Message Icon until the Red Minus Sign appears, tap it to delete from background memory. Then slide all the icons to the right, all the way, see if the Lock Icon is present, if locked, unlock it. See if Message is better, if not, Reset iPhone, hold both home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?

    Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
    You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
    There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
    When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
    The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and...
