Why can't i use my external screen with messagecentre

I could not get the message centre in Mountain Lion working. Now I read that it will not work when you've got a second screen connected to the iMac. What for is this, will there be a solution for this soon?
And how can we ask Apple to change this?

I presume you are talking about the Messages app.
To start it off you need to list an Apple ID that you want to use with the iMessages Service.
This can then be used to send and receive iMessages from iOS devices or other Messages apps
The app can also use the older style iChat Screen Names and IDs and these can be added the same way they were in iChat.
The "iChat Side" is the bit that does the Screen Sharing and it should cope with some one using two Displays.
What you have to remember is that two side by side displays may have to be shown on one 15" monitor and everything can look very small.

Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry. Also calling apple support can help you or the best way is to go down to the apple store for direct help. I really hope that what i have told you have helped and try to reset your iphone.

Why can't I use iPad first gen with iMovie?

Why can't I use iMovie with the first gen iPad?

It does not have a camera.
iMovie iOS is made to edit video recorded on the device.
Some also suggest that the processor is not fast enough.
I doubt it, but those are the best suggestions I have heard.

Why can't u use adobe flash player with iPad II ?

I use adobe flash player a good bit on my pc but I cannot download it from my ipadII why?

it's an Internet Browser add-on and apple doesn't allow any add-ons for the Safari Application due to security issues, certain add-ons could give potential spyware, virus, or other things to get your personal information.
Apple computers allow add-ons because typically people aren't using their computer to make emergency phone calls and things like that like they do from the mobile devices, so the computers can afford to get errors and crash while it would be a huge liability for Apple to allow the phone's potential harm.

Why can't I use the iLife music with my iDVD project?

I thought I had been able to use some of the standard music that comes with iLife in my iDVD project, but now I can't figure out how to do that. Did an update make this not possible, or am I just going about it wrong? (For example, I'd like to use the "Lazy Day" sound clip as a background sound for one of the menus.)

My error.:( The sample music folder was in iPhoto. If you look inside the iPhoto and iMovie applications in the Resource folder you'll find a Music folder (iPhoto) and a iMovie Sound Effects folder that contain the various sample audio tracks. You can COPY them to a folder on the desktop and import into iTunes, put them in an playlist and access them that way. I'm sure Garageband will have a number of loops or sample tracks that you can copy also.
If you're looking for some audio to use try http://www.freeplaymusic.com/. They have tons of free audio tracks, jazz, country, alternative, blues, business & finance, children's, hard rock, instrumental, etc. They come in 30 sec., 60 sec. and full length for each song.

How can I best use an external editor with iPhoto?

I want to use Pixelmator or Elements to edit photos in iPhoto, but I really don't want to export/import them every time. Is there an "edit with an external editor" option I haven't found?

Hope this helps:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

Why can't i use the ftp functions with a built file

I have created a report program that connects to an MS Access database and generates a series of reports from it. i also wanted to give the user the ability to download the database. we haev the database stored on a server at a different building. i have used the labview FTP function in the internet tool kit. the program works fine in the development mode. however if i build an application the ftp call fails to work. i have added traps so that if i get an error i will know it. unfortunatly the program flows through with no errors but the database is not copied.
i have also written an ftp function which works in the development mode and the application mode with no installer, but it does not work in the apli
cation mode with an installer.

Well once again I find myself on a machine that will not let be take a look.
I am glad to here that you have your app running.
I am troubled by by the solution. It makes me nervous when functions behave differently in the two environments. Have you run this past NI support?
I'll email myself this link as a reminder for monday.
Thank you for the update.
