Green texts are just normal texts between you and your friends who aren't using ios 5 or arent using an iphone

  • Why am I getting a "Disk Full" error message when attempting to export?

    I am trying to export my movie at large quality or higher and every time it gives me a "disk full" error. However, I was able to successfully export it at medium quality. I don't understand why I would be getting that error though because both my internal hard drive and external drive, which I am exporting from (but onto the internal), have ample amount of space to accommodate for a large or HD quality video. Any help would be much appreciated!

    How much space do you have?

  • TS2363 Why do I get a runtime error R6034 message when installing iTunes 11.1.4.62 on my WIn XP (SP3) system?

    iTunes prompted me to download and install the newest version of iTunes (11.1.4.62). I followed all on-screen prompts. iTunes installation gets to the very end, then I get a popup stating that I have a Runtime Error # R6034 "an application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Okay, I am doing that. FYI, I am runnning Windows XP (SP3). Oh, and BTW, now iTunes is COMPLELETY unusable, and I cannot synch any of my multiple iOS devices. Help please!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Why am I getting a Failed to send message when trying to send a photo to another mobile not necessarily an iphone.

    Is it because of the size of the photo or the type of mobile phone I am trying to send it to?

    It could be because you have cellular data turned off. You can turn it back on in Settings

  • Green or blue hue when printing in Elements 11

    I get a green or blue hue when printing in Elements 11.  Printer color control is off.  Need help to eliminate color hue when printing.

    Oh yes it has Barbara.  David is right.  Have a look at Elements 5.  I got that free and would still be using it if I hadn't had to upgraded to Windows 7.  I've now had to buy Elements 11 because Elements 5 wouldn't load and Elements 11 does not have that fascility that David laments.  I used that printing option almost exclusively for printing cards and I bitterly regret not having it now.  I'm very disappointed with these printing options in Elements 11.  The problem is that Photoshop eminates from the one country in 180 that seems manacled to its imperial measurements that the rest of the world has to keep wading through. I expect that to acquire my favourite printing fascility I shall have to get the full verson.  I have seen it in screenshots, so I know that it is there.  It's all very well for Barbara to say resize before entering the print window but this is just trial and error and takes forever.  In the meantime I shall continue to spend ages working round this cumbersome resizing problem each time I print my cards.

  • Why do i get a "codec installation required" message?

    Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files? Im using QT7 on a mac, v10.6.7?, Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files? Im using QT7 on a mac, v10.6.7?

    Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files?
    Probably because you do not have an audio and/or video codec used for compressing/decompressing data in the AVI file. AVI, like MOV, are just file containers capable of holding many different kinds of data. The originator of the AVI file (Microsoft) dropped its official support of this file type more than a decade ago but its popularity with Windows users lingers on. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the compression formats commonly used in the AVI file container may or may not still be in use. Some were never transcoded for use on the Mac platform. Others are so old that they have never been updated for use under OS X. Of thise transcoded for OS X use, some have not been updated for Intel based platforms. Thus, while QT supports the container itself, it does not natively support the third-party and/or proprietary codecs used, many of which, are now classed as "legacy" codecs and are out of date in terms of today's video compression technology.

  • Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6?

    Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6? I am currently using a trial version.

    The last time someone reported this problem with Oil paint, the fix was to go Preferences (Ctrl k) > Performance and set the cache levels to something other than '1'.  If you cache levels were not previously set to 1 then we'll need to think again.

    Pete, you have found like many before you, that eventually software becomes out of date, where software developers at different points no longer support old versions of their product, which eventually fossilizes your computer. It is inevitable.
    You have heard of dog years, well computer years are even shorter, which makes your seven year old laptop certainly middle aged. It is still useful, running the applications it always has, so keep it. But online its years will show.
    With the internet, new software developments affect browsers, and plugins, with java, flash etc.
    Software development is often in step with hardware innovation, and most Apple hardware is not very upgradable and Apple don't support things for very long.
    This leaves you with a an old PowerBook that will still be good for the things it does, though it will have increasing limitations with some modern internet media sites.
    Mozilla no longer support 10.4 Tiger but fortunately there is a group who have kept it alive with their version of Firefox,

    Those DID NOT come from an Adobe update.
    Note: the ONLY software that is bundled with Adobe "freeware" is:
    McAfee Security Scan
    Norton Security Scan
    Google Chrome and Toolbar
    Lightroom (trial - Mac ONLY)
    Whatever you downloaded and installed was from a third party site and more than likely WAS NOT a legitimate download of Flash Player, if it was Flash Player at all.

  • Why do I get a conversion failure every time when I try to merge documents together???

    Why do I get a conversion failure every time when I try to merge documents together???

    Hi mdrhine,
    I'm sorry that you've been unable to merge files. Let's see what we can figure out.
    Are you unable to merge any files? How large are the files that you're trying to merge, and how many are you trying to merge at once?
    If you're merging more than a few files, or those files are particularly large, ttry merging those files in smaller batches. If one or more files is causing the conversion failure, merging in smaller batches should help you isolate the problematic file or files.
    I look forward to hearing back from you with some details about the files that you're trying to merge.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Why do I get a grid over my image when I first open it up?

    Why do I get a grid over my image when I first open it up?  I've looked in my preferences and can't find a way to have this issue stop.

    Are you saying that if you turn off the Grid, it reappears the next time you open an image?  That is obviously wrong, and tjhe setting is in Preferences as you surmised, so if that is what is happening, I'd try deleteing the preferences file to reset it.  (Shift Alt Ctrl while you lauch Photoshop)
