Why is my history clearing function "disabled"? How the heck do I turn it on?

great, but my MBA did not come with an installion disc, only a tiny jump drive that is not recognized by windows; and I can't get the contents of that burned to a DVD either. So how the heck do I get the drivers into Windows 7? My MBA has bootcamp 3.0.4.

Hi,
Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

how the heck do i get more ring tones on my phone i purchase them and they go into my music but not ring tones any one no how i can put more on my ringtones plz n ty
Make sure your own music files are saved in the proper folder (Digital sounds) whether in your memory card or the phone memory, the location should still be:
Sound Clips > Digital Sounds.
If your songs/mp3s are saved anywhere else, it will not show up as a selectable ringing tone.
You can move your songs through File Manager on your phone if they are in the wrong location (Options > Move to folder).
Hope that clarifies it for you.

i rented the twilight movie, how the heck do i watch it. it doesnt show up in my library but says i have it rented.
Go to your music library on itunes, click on the box in the top-left corner of your window that says Music, once you do this there will be an option to click on movies, click on it, and then there will be a little bubble near the top of your window that says rented, click on the bubble, and that will take you to your rented library.
Note: For itunes 11.0.1 and up. -

How the heck did this guy draw with his pencil 3d extruded?
In the following video Mr. Smith first extrudes some text. Then about 40 seconds in he takes his pencil and draws a line and it's automatically extruded. How the heck did he do that? It looks like it's extruded just as soon as he releases his click. Am I just missing that he's doing "shift-control-e" to apply the same 3d effect immediately to his line? Sure seems like he didn't have to do that.. I can see in the Appearance panel that there is "no selection", but that 3d extrude effect is shown there.
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0053Understand also: Effects (including 3D Effect) can be applied at the Group or Layer level; not only at the object level. So you can "draw into" a Group in Isolation Mode or "draw onto" a Layer that has 3D Effect applied. In that way, When you do, the various objects you draw not only have the same 3D Effect, but share the same 3D Effect; so they share the same perspective.

Why wouldn't Wordpress Dashboard function properly with the latest Firefox update #17?
My Dashboard for 2 websites have issues when running via Firefox. I get pages which are totally corrupted from what I usually get. What is going wrong with the update?
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

How the Heck can you send email to Verizon?!!!
Is it just me, or have others found an easy way to send a tech support email to Verizon about billing or other issues? I've used Safari and FireFox and every time I try to get to the page where you can send an email, there is nothing there. It's like some horrible scam. Is anyone actually getting through to them?
Please help if you can.
Thanks,

It works fine for me. You might need to check that your browsers are up to date. Also, there might just be compatiability issues with the browsers you use. A quick google search showed that there a lot of complaints posted about sites that don't play well with FireFox. I don't use either browser so perhaps that's why I haven't had an issue accessing the email portion of the VZW site.
Both browsers are up to date. I'm an Apple Tech and know what I'm doing, but it's just bizarre that I can never get to the actual email form. Anybody have a URL?
If all else fails, I guess I'll just have to sit on the phone.... [sigh]
Thanks for any other ideas that might surface here.
cheers,

Ok, in no way were you told or was it implied that you didn't know what you were doing on some level. You stated you were having a problem. I and another poster stated that we did not have the problem you mentioned. I suggested things that may be going on...obviously an issue exists if some of us are able to access the email page with no issue and you are not. Pointing out that there are documented issues with FireFox (one of the browsers you stated you used) and various websites is an attempt to help you out. You may be an Apple Tech but that has absolutely nothing to do with you having issues accessing a Verizon website page and possible issues with the browsers and the site in question (last that I checked isn't an Apple browser). At any rate, try going to the following URL: https://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/contact/email.jsp If that doesn't work for you then perhaps you can find a better solution. Being an Apple Tech as you stated I'm sure you can figure it out without any of my attempts to help you out. Good luck.
Wow! How interesting you read all kinds of negative things into my fairly brief reply. I was just using broad strokes here to let you know that everything was up to date but the site is not kicking out an email form to me in either of the two, up to date browsers I'm using. As you noted, this has little to do with technical competence and eveything to do with some flaw in the site that puts me in an infinite loop when I try to get a help desk ticket. You never mentioned which browser you are using, but I'm guessing that it's IE?...
Anyway, lest you take umbrage again, let me state clearly that I'm just looking for an answer and while "it's not happening to me" is a partial one indeed, it doesn't solve my problem. The link you posted is exactly where I end up going, but can't get through. That's what's so puzzling to me.
I'm grateful for any replies, but please don't take offense because I'm trying to save us all some time.
Peas and Carrots,
Mick
The thing that seems to be part of your issue is the browsers you are using and their compatiability with the VZW website. That is why I pointed out the things that I did to begin with. I'm sorry...you responding to possible solutions with " I'm an Apple Tech and know what I'm doing..." came off as if suggesting that you check your browsers and pointing out that a search showed that FireFox has a long list of website compatiability issues was beneath your level of knowledge because you're an Apple Tech and know what you're doing. THAT is what caused the response. You stated that the URL I provided took you to the same place you keep arriving when you try to go to it using the browsers that you are using. The URL works fine for me using IE. Another possible indicator that for whatever reason, the browsers that you are using and the VZW site don't play well together. I stated that I don't use either of the browsers that you listed so I can't troubleshoot those browsers...but perhaps trying a different browser will help you see the form so you can contact VZW as you initially wanted to. If using another browser isn't something you are interested in doing, perhaps doing an internet search about your issue will find fixes for the browsers and site issues...or you might just have to contact VZW via the telephone or go to a store if you can't contact them via the website. Another option you may have is to send a PM to one of the VZW Employees that post on here (you will have to search the forum to try and find one unless there is another way besides looking through the threads to locate one that has posted or doing a search in the search box). Also, I'm not so sure how reliable it might be but you can try going to the VZW Facebook page (if you use FB) and posting a message on there...perhaps whoever runs that page will respond with an alternative way for you to contact someone viz VZW for help. I don't know if providing you with the last email address that I was contacted from a VZW rep will help since I'm not sure if the emails are filtered to specific depts but if you want to try that then just let me know. Otherwise, maybe someone else can chime in and give you some help that you can use.
Thanks for all the help, but unfortunately IE is not available on the Mac platform and Chrome is not fundamentally different from Safari or FireFox. Verizon must have built their site entirely on IE webkit if the site really doesn't function properly on anything other than IE. What a shame. Anyway, that's also why I alluded to being an Apple tech and using the two major browsers that really are available for us. I'm still not a Chrome fan (too much distrust of Google, I guess), but I know other Mac people who like it. They're usually much younger. ;-)
Anyway, at this point we've both wasted too much of our time with this and I'll just call.
I think the thing that annoyed me the most about the problem was that it seems like VZW is really trying to make it hard for people to find the page to send an email. Once you finally find it, you can't get it to work if you're using an Apple computer! In spite of carrying the highly sought after Apple products, they may have designed an entire website that has significant parts not compatible with open source code on which both of those browsers (Safari & FireFox) are based.
And they wonder why Steve Jobs went to AT&T first? ;-)

How the heck can I delete albums and artists out of Your Music?!?!?!?
I had asked elsewhere about how to delete stuff out of "Your Music" and was told that from the 3 dots in the upper right of the app screen I would get a "Remove" option.
BUT.
1) That option is simply not there all the time. I cannot figure out any rhyme or reason as to why or why not-it seems maybe I can't remove artists, only albums? (But then, I don't see any way to view just albums by an artist...). Maybe it's only items I have played that I can remove? That rule didn't really seem to work either. Some albums/artists I can "remove" but not others, they simply don't show the option, not even greyed out. What the heck is going on?!?!? (These items are NOT in playlists, I hardly use playlists).
2) Even when I can "Remove" that stuff still appears in the "Your Music" list. So what the heck am I removing? Not the music, as I don't download for offline listening any more. How can I get this stuff totally out of the list? (Yeah, I supposed I could remove and reinstall the entire app, but that seems ridiculous to be doing that periodically)
I just want to parse the list down to stuff I want to listen to in the future-not junk I already heard, not my kids stuff she sticks in there sometimes. It is really bugging me that I can't clear out this old stuff!Help! Or maybe I should say HELLp!!!Hi,
I will do my best to help you!
To remove a album follow these steps:
Open Spotify and go to the "Album view"
Open the album that you want to remove.
Scroll all the way up (so that you see the cover).
Press the "saved"-button so it says "save" instead.
Finished.
Hope this helped. :) -
How the heck to stop Illustrator from logging each session?
Each time I open Illustrator CC a log builds up into the c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Logs\AIPerformance.log file.
Now it's over 600MB in size. This is not good for my SSD!!!
So please tell me how the hell to stop this stupid debugging process or whatever the hell is it!...or whatever the hell is it...
My guess is that it's part and parcel of Adobe's propensity to exploit your computing and connection resources for its marketing "research" purposes every time it "phones home" as you use the software. Even before the Captive Cloud there was a stink regarding Adobe's programs "phoning home" each time the stupid "quick start" screens launched.
I sympathize, but beyond the guess as to what it's for, can't offer any suggestion for disabling it; I don't (and won't) rent software, so CS6 is where it stops for me. Directly because of the rent-only scheme, I've not even installed Illustrator on my Surface Pro; and I've just installed a SSD as the C:// drive on my primary desktop, so I'm in full agreement with you regarding keeping unnecessary (to ME) clutter to a jealously-guarded minimum.

How the heck do I back up my hard drive?!
Sorry if this question gets asked every week, but I searched the "Tiger" forums and still can't figure this out.
I've owned an iMac since last August but haven't used it much, so I have no after-market software and very little data on it. Unfortunately, the little bit of data I have is every family photo we've taken since last August (on iPhoto) and given the fact that it's a PITA to sync those files with my wife's Dell, I really need to start backing up on a regular basis. In addition, the guys at the "Genius Bar" at my local Apple store tell me there's a defect in the hardware, and advise me to back up my computer before I give it to them to fix.
Before buying this Apple, I owned several Windows-based PCs. Windows had a utility that would back up the whole computer, and ordinary data backups were fast and easy. The "geniuses" tell me there's no such utility in my version of OS-X, and that I need to buy an external drive and install the third-party software that comes with the drive.
Okay, I'm sitting down, give it to me straight:
(1) What's the easiest way for me to back up all the data on my computer, and can I back it up onto one or more CDs? I find it hard to believe that Apple's OS doesn't have a utility that Windows has had for a decade or so, and that I need to buy more hardware and software after purchasing this iMac that costs about twice as much as a Dell with more speed and memory.
(2) Given that I'll never add software to this machine (other than NeoOffice), do I need to back up anything but data, ever? I have the CDs that came with my iMac, so do I need a bootable copy of my whole hard drive?
Regards,

Yes, it's funny, I just had a couple of hours to think about the last questions I posted, and I realized that "KISS" is all I can handle. All I want (all I can handle, really) is a very simple process for backing up data, nothing more.
So it looks like I have two things I need to clarify: hardware and software.
As far as hardware goes, all I'm looking for is something that plugs into the computer like a "thumb drive," but that holds much more data and can transfer it much more quickly. Is that what you mean by a "Simple Firewire drive"? I've looked at the devices on the web page that you linked to, but I can't figure out what the heck they are. Do you remember the first time you looked under the hood of a car, maybe when you were seven or eight years old, and you had no idea what all those hoses and wires and metal things were? Well, that's what it's like for me when I look at that web page.
Now the software part. I used to own a Windows computer at home and still use one at work. I can move and copy files easily on those machines. And I've copied some files from this iMac to my wife's Windows computer via a thumb drive. No problem. But then I read the article at the link that Japamac posted, and I feel like I have no idea what to do.
If you actually read the from beginning to end, it doesn't tell you how to do what it recommends, which is to back up the entire <user> folder:
http://computing.fandm.edu/training/mac/backup.php
First it talks about backing up the entire <user> folder, but before the article describes how to do that, it skips ahead to a discussion of the limitations on the storage size of CD media and never gets back to telling the reader how to back up the entire <user> folder. Near the end of the article, in the middle of a discussion of how to back up onto an iPod, the article says to "locate and simply drag the data you want to backup from its parent location to the disc volume window." Two problems here: (1) what about backing up ALL the data in the <user> folder; and (2) how do I know that dragging will "copy" rather than "cut"? The last thing I want to do is cut the <user> folder off my hard drive and dump it somewhere else!
At this point, I can't believe people keep saying that Apple computers are more user-friendly than Windows computers. On Windows, this would be a piece of cake to do with the pull-down menus on the mouse: (1) select the <user> folder with one left-click of the mouse; (2) right-click to "copy;" (3) move the cursor to the storage drive; (4) left-click to select it; and (5) right-click to "paste." Done.
Please help. All I want to do is find a simple way to back up my data onto an external drive.

How the heck do I install java for yosemite?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Spell Check in New Forums- How The Heck does it work?
Can somebody please tell me how the spell check works in this new forum format? I click on the abc icon and it does nothing. I do a two finger click on a word that is misspelled and it give me Insert Options. I really like the new format but hate the spell check. Can anyone offer advise? Thanks.
The built-in ASC spell checker is -- to put it kindly -- quirky. First, you must turn it on using the 'abc' tool on the right in the editor toolbar. (When it's on, it highlights.) But it won't stay turned on if you click on the tool before you enter any text -- it will just tell you that no misspellings were found & won't stay on. It also sometimes fails to check the last word if followed by a space. You can tell it to ignore misspellings, but you can't tell it to learn words because the spell-checking dictionary is actually on the servers running the site, not on your Mac or PC.
But from your remarks, you probably aren't even using the built-in checker. Instead, I suspect you are trying to use the far superior system-wide one built into OS X. The problem with that is the ASC editing tools are powered by Javascript supplied by the Jive SBS software running the site. Because that is platform independent it doesn't know anything about OS X's contextual menu (which includes suggestions for misspellings, the Dictionary lookup, & so on).
So to make a long story short, what happens when you try to right click on a word the OS X checker has underlined in red, instead you get the Javascript's response to a right click, which brings up the editor's insert/alignment popup menu instead of the OS X contextual menu.
The solution is to control click on the word -- believe it or not, within the ASC editor window a right click & a control click are not the same thing! You literally have to hold down the control key on the keyboard when you click to bypass the Javascript's right click response.
To make things that much more confusing, this only applies if the pointer is not over empty space in the editor window, which in this case excludes lines that have any text on them, including invisible text like spaces or returns. (To see what I mean, drag the tab at the bottom right of the editor window down so there is a lot of empty space below what you have typed. In this empty area, right & control clicks both bring up the OS X contextual menu, but anywhere in the text you have typed, they behave differently.)
In short, the problem is not that Apple has changed how the buttons or clicks work, it is that the new software that runs the site (not developed by Apple) does.
Hope this helps.
