Won't let me insert a table

When I go to 'table' the option to 'insert table' isn't possible. Not sure what mode I'm in to not be able to do this, I've tried making a new layer..
Another simple one probably with a quick and easy answer, I just don't have a clue I'm afraid..
Thanks
Sophie

You need to be inside a text frame to do that.

IMac 2010 won't let me insert CD/DVD

My 2010 iMac has suddently stopped letting me insert discs. I'll try to push one in but feel resistance at the point when normally the mac would feed it in. There isn't another disc in there (have tried ejecting using keyboard, restarting mac with 'eject' button down, using disk utility, using Terminal) yet it feels as though there is.
Immediately prior to this, the drive took in a disc and then made an awful racket trying to read it. When it eventually spat the disc out, it wouldn't have it again.
I'm guessing that it's a fault with the drive, but I was just wondering whether anyone else had encountered this before I lug it into an Apple Store.

I did read on another post from another site to:
1) Connect a USB Mouse to your iMac
2) Power on the iMac holding down the left mouse button - should force the Drive to cycle through an eject action.
It fixed my problem. The iMac was able to accept a disc after doing this.
Hope this helps.

MBP late07: Superdrive won't let me insert any disc

Hi,
MBP 2.2ghz and 10.6 here.
Since some days I can't insert any standard-sized dvd/cd because *something* is inside my superdrive (GSA-xxx). I tried to eject anything inside the optical drive via Terminal.app, without luck.
As written in this post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/3944529#3944529):
when i try to insert any cd/dvd into the superdrive, it dosent go in at all. it pushes the media to the left and it seems like there is something in there that is preventing the disc to go in.
I disassembled the whole case and the Superdrive as well.
It seems that a mobile mechanic part (showed in this image, sorry for its roughness http://i.imgur.com/xzXJB.jpg) is stuck near the center of the Superdrive plate, while it should move to the right edge of the Superdrive whenever the slot is empty, in order to let you insert an optical disc. Then it should move in the place it sits now, in order to prevent the disc to fall if you put your Macbook vertically.
I tried to manually move this mechanic part and... I couldn't, it seems like it's actually glued to the Superdrive plate! It shouldn't be supposed to be there, because it prevents any disc to be inserted.
Any hints?
Thanks

I don't know how, but it seems that I've fixed it.
I found an old Apple troubleshooting page related to Powerbooks and Mac OS 10.3. It stated than, when Superdrive cannot accept disc, you can open iTunes and press the dedicated Eject button. Et voilà, I heard a "click" and it finally accepted a dvd disc.
I don't know why drutil tray eject via Terminal.app didn't work and iTunes did...

IMovie won't let me insert Title (rainball of death appears)

When i try to create a Title as soon as I try to choose a font etc. my G5 freezes and iMovieHD will not respond and the Rainbow ball of death appears forever and I have to force quit the application.
Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Memory: 2 GB DDR SDRAM

Try deleting the imovie preference file. Close Imovie. Then locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist

Why when i insert a table it won't let me put something next to the table?

when i insert a table it only lets me put something under the table intead of beside it.

In DWCC...
Click the table in Design View so the whole thing is highlighted
In the Properties window, click the CSS button
Click Edit Rule
In the CSS Designer, under Properties, click the Layout button
Scroll down to Float and choose left or right
Then do the same for any element you want to appear next to the table.
You can also edit the css manually by adding the following to the <style> tagset in the <head> of your page or by adding it to an external .css file...
table {float:right;}
You may want to give the table an id in your html and target that instead, to ensure all of your tables don't start floating. That would look like this in your css (change tableid to any unique id you want)...
#tableid {float:right;}
and in your html you would have this...
<table id="tableid">

TS1814 I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it. Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do. Any ideas on how to get it working again?? I'm dying without it!

I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?

This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.

Choose it from where? See this user tip by Terence Devlin for how to access photos for use outside of iPhoto: How to Access Files in iPhoto
Have you tried dragging the photo from the iPHoto window into the open Word document window?

I want to load Firefox on my computer at home, which is not connected to the internet. I want to download Firefox to my flashdrive and then add it to my computer at home. When I try to download Firefox, it won't let me change the path of where it download

I want to download Firefox on a flashdrive so I can then download it to my home computer which is not connected to the internet. When I download Firefox, it won't let me change the path and so tries to download on a public computer, which isn't allowed. The reason I want it on my home computer is because I'm creating web pages and I want to view my html pages using a variety of browsers, including Firefox.

From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

DW won't let me change a library item "change will be discarded"

I built a site and I have library items for my logo and
navigation and some thumbnails. I want to use a different file/lbi
file for my header. When I delete the current library item and try
to put a new one in, I get this message: "making this change would
require changing code that is locked by a template or translator.
The change will be discarded." I honestly don't know what to do; I
really need to specify a different file for my header but it won't
let me, and I have over 100 pages and I made all thumbnails,
rollovers, and all links manually and the file that it's using
isn't working right. I just want to put the correct one in there; I
don't know how I can possibly build my site completely from scratch
- what can I do?
This is a related issue, but I'm not sure how: I have two
library items named the same thing in two different folders; some
files refer to one, some to the other, but I want them all to refer
to the correct one; I can't make change since I get that error
message. I'm confused about which file is which, I'd deleted one
before, then restored it...thank you so much for any help. I'm
trying to build my portfolio site for an art exhibition...

Happily. One of the pages of the site I'm having problems
with is
http://www.hopeedwards.com/TEST_new_website/Hope_website/assorted_art.htm
I also attached code for it. [note: the home/index page only
works in Firefox but the other tabs work in IE and Safari. Also,
everything is shoved down wrong in IE and it only looks right in
Firefox] I am running Adobe CS3 on an Intel based Mac Pro with
Tiger OSX 10.4. I'm having trouble with a couple library items. The
very top library item is logo_and_navigation.lbi - all was okay
with it except I somehow had a couple different copies of it in my
Library folder, so I moved one of them to a folder within the site
called "Trashes". Then I deleted that one because I didn't want two
copies and the logo and nav disappeared on some pages that used
that one. I reinstated it in the trashes folder. The pages that use
that located in the Trashes folder are the index, Assorted Art, and
Commercial Work. The ones that use the one in the Library folder
are Clue Series and About & Contact.
I would like them all to use just one file so I only have to
edit one file if I make changes. I've tried several things: I've
tried selecting and deleting the item in the documents and
inserting the proper copy. It won't let me. I get the message
"making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator. The change will be discarded." I've tried
doing a Find and Replace and replacing the word Trashes with
Library to specify the correct folder info but that doesn't work,
probably because it can't change code in the library item.
I had a similar problem with the thumbnails library items
when I tried to build my other pages doing a File Save As from the
first one I built in Assorted Art. When I tried to create a
Commercial Work page from it, I deleted the thumbnails library item
because it was the Assorted Art thumbnails. When I tried to insert
the Commercial Work thumbnails library item I got that error
message. It was so frustrating; I had to go in and build the
Commercial Work page from scratch. I had to do that with each
different tab. It just doesn't seem right that you can't swap out
library items.
Anyway, I'd completely appreciate any help or feedback! I
really would!
Hope

Itunes 7.6 won't let me burn CDs

I just updated iTunes to version 7.6 yesterday. Immediately following this, i tried to burn a CD. It won't recognize any CD as being blank. It says "checking media" at the top of the iTunes window and then it spits the CD back out telling me to insert a blank disk. I have never had a problem with a previous version of iTunes doing this. Has anyone else had this problem?
I also decided to try downloading iTunes 7.5 to go back to a version that worked, but Apple built into the software some stupid thing that won't let me install an older version. The point of me buying a Mac was to avoid stuff like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK -- I've put at least 2 hours into fixing this on my machine, and hopefully I can save you the trouble with my story. And if you don't even want to hear the story, skip down to where I've typed "BOTTOM LINE" in all caps. Go ahead, I won't be hurting deep down inside (o.k. maybe a little).
(As a side note, Apple's tech support is 1-800-APL-CARE... and the front line of defense for them is designed to deal with people who need explanation of what's an mp3 [sarcasm mine], so you might want to get passed up the ladder right away. The next line of experts is actually, well, expert.)
I had the exact same issue -- same discs that worked prior to upgrading, now don't. I'm trying to burn a playlist of ONLY iTunes purchased music. I click "Burn Disc", it ejects my blank disc, and tells me to insert a blank disc.
So I think, great, just great (CRAP!) maybe I can turn back the clock - I go to Windows's "System Restore" feature. The idea is to revert everything back to what it was before I upgraded the iTunes software. (on my machine, it's START-MENU > ALL PROGRAMS > SYSTEM TOOLS > System Restore)
I do - and go to launch the old iTunes - the old version before I upgraded the software. It won't launch, because iTunes_Library.itl was created using a later version. Basically, Apple in its imperial wisdom has burned my bridges for me!
This step may be inconsequential, but I'll include it anyway: thinking if I removed the file from the iTunes folder the older iTunes could launch, I do so. I copy "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library" to a different drive, then delete them. And then, but I get the same can't-launch-because-of-library error, I copy them right back. (who knows, maybe that was important)
Eh. At this point is when I start calling tech support, getting put on hold, having to repeat that the problem is not the blank discs, is not the playlist, etc.
But in the meantime I decide that this old version of iTunes is worthless to me now, so I might as well run the iTunesSetup file again (the one I "saved to disk" when upgrading). I do run it, it runs, and by now I'm back on the phone with one of the actual experts.
I walk him through my problem - but now it isn't a problem. I get a new and different error message: I'm not authorized to burn these songs. Which means I just need to authorize the computer, which iTunes prompts me to do, which then lets me play, burn, basically if you can get to see that, you're home free.
BOTTOM LINE
If you're having this exact problem, and running XP, you might have success IF:
(1) Run System Restore, to restore to before the iTunes upgrade
((1.5) POSSIBLY move "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library" out of that folder, then back in. I did, but it seems irrelevant.)
(2) Run the iTunesSetup application again.
And at that point, if you were me, you would be back on track.
If this helps, donations in lieu of flowers to Smile Train dot org. I mean, come on, to be born funny-looking, it's just not fair.
And as long as I'm typing why not pass judgment on the individual Apple employees I spoke with...
JASON and JOANNE - are awesome people, and if I had a party they'd totally be invited. Nerdy-cool. You guys both rock.
ERIC was a schmuck who seemed incapable of understanding my problem, making me repeat myself slow and loud, because maybe he's hard of hearing. Schmuck for putting me on hold for a half-hour then dumping the call (intentional?) and killing off my willingness to give Apple thousands of dollars over the course of my life.
CHRIS seemed like a good guy, not hugely helpful to tell me I'm 440 days out of warranty when my problem has already been accepted, but was able to pull through and put me to the second cool person I spoke with.
DONNA is just too nice to be condemned to deal with people's phone-in frustrated problems. Great for that reason, so nice, may she not go crazy on account of work.
That's it, good luck.

Error Message - Won't Let Me Use My Memory Chip

I need help. I turned off my phone today and when I turned it back on this message came up, "A Media Card has been inserted that contains errors. To correct the errors please use a disk error-checking utility on a computer." I previously had songs, ringtones, pictures, etc on the media card and now it won't let me access them. I hooked it up to my computer hoping it would automatically fix itself but it didn't. However, when I brought up my media manager it would let me click on my media card as if it were still there and all of the media was still there. But the same message appears. I've tried taking out the media card and everything. PLEASE HELP.

I had the same problem only when I ran the disk error checking utility, it did seem to scan and fix a huge number of issues, only I still get the same error message and now I cant seem to access my SD card from my phone. Also, when I hook up my phone to the computer I am able to view most of the pictures but not all of them. The pictures that I cannot open do not seem to be readable. They are saved as weird symbols and I cant seem to view them or save them as picture files. Can I still recover these pictures and how can I resolve this error message??? Please help

Disk Utility won't let me do anything with broken flash drive?

Hi there,
I own an 8GB SanDisk flashdrive that recently, and out of nowhere, changed permissions to write only. I feel like this may have something to do with the fact that when it was in my old Macbook I would close the screen with it still inserted and it would eject itself and the drive has possibly become corrupt because of this happening one too many times? Anyhow, when moving files around and to my new Macbook and what not, I tried to move some from this USB and it wouldn't let me. I eventually worked out that it would let me copy the files and paste them elsewhere, but now I have this flash drive with a bunch of files that can still be read and I don't know what to do with it because it won't let me delete them either. When I try it comes up with "The item can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted." I've tried Disk Utility and this is what happens under the First Aid, Erase and Partition options
I've also tried the appropriate commands in terminal to try to get the disk utility to respond and I kept recieving error messages there too. Also, when I click on the volume underneath the disk it shows all the space that all the files that are very much there are taking up but then also says there's zero files.
Anyone know what on earth is going on?! I mean I know the USB has probably just had it but I'm wondering if there's any possible way I can repair or erase it at this point?

I suspect that the USB is dead. This is the result I get when I insert my USB drive formatted the same as yours:
Note that the options are not grayed out.
You might connect it to a PC, if available, and see if there is any difference.
Ciao.

I updated my I-tunes now it won't let me download any purchases or anything off my cloud? I tried restarting and everything and no luck. Any solutions?

I updated my I-tunes now it won't let me download any purchases or anything off my cloud? I tried restarting and everything and no luck. Any solutions?

If it is an Intel Mac Mini, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to "GUID Partition Table" and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it is a PPC Mac Mini, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to "Apple Partition Map" and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then reinstall the OS X on your Install Disc and Update it.
1. Boot from your install DVD or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
2. Highlight the HDD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
6. Once that is done, then you can do a clean Install from your Install Disc.
