You are making simple things Waaay to complicated..!
Having spent the last 35 mins watching the WDC woop-de-doo intro to Yosemite features, I thought SMS forwarding seemed like a good idea, as it was stated as a way of communicating with all these 'green bubbles' and people with 'not so good' hardware.
Now having set it up I am texting a mate on his iPhone from my iMac, who I normally and used to send to as iMessage 'in blue'. It's now completely lost the iMessage concept from the conversation and is texting as SMS only.
I don't have the time or inclination to try and understand what's wrong here, or why it shouldn't just be as simple as apple-apple is blue; apple to anything else is green. - Isn't that what the idea was?
Maybe I'm missing a point, but as a reasonably competent user - I think this just goes to show that you are just overcomplicating simple things. - I'm now going back to remove the feature....
SMS forwarding doesn't have anything to do with other people. It allows a Yosemite machine to send SMS messages via your iPhone (running iOS 8.1) to other people who aren't in the Apple ecosystem. If your friend is using an iPhone, just send a message to his Apple ID from any of your devices. Whether that actually works or not is still the same old "prime the pump" exercise it has always been. I expect both of you would have to restart devices and log in and out of iCloud a number of times before it started working. That is the great part about SMS forwarding, it allows you to bypass Apple's flaky infrastructure and use something more reliable.

Why does the IPhone 4 get really hot, when you are making a phone call??
I can't seem to find the answer to this riddle . why does the iPhone 4 get really hot when you are making phone calls or when using face Time ??
It doesn't.
There must be an issue with your iphone.
Have you tried reset? Restore?

I tried the suggested procedures. Took out cartridges, replaced them in proper order. Shut off machine. Unplugged machine for more than 10 minutes.
After plugging in machine & turning on, the same error message appeared. It is constant and the machine will not perform in any way including for scanning.
The suggested procedure did not eliminate the error. Your message suggested I go through the "contact us" screen but I've done that twice already.

Saving in what way? iPhoto has a database architecture - all changes you make to library items are immediate - no saving needed. Only do not forget to make regular backups of your iPhoto Library..
Or are you asking, how to create a pdf-copy of your book for future reference?
Then select your book in the source list and use the command "File > Print" to print a copy of your book to PDF - press the "PDF" button in the lower left part of the "Print" panel.

So, I just looked at the tutorial for dreamweaver and I was attempting to create a sidebar with some text. I believe the third video called "Now for a touch of style." However, just as in the tutorial the footer covers the whole section of text on the webpage blue. So, naturally I follow the instructions, but for some reason a feature in the training shown is missing. I follow the instructions and click the plus sign icon under the properties of the footer, which I found by using the selectors search. After the plus sign, I type in clear, and select it, just as the training shows. But, instead of some icons for floating which appear to the right of the "clear" property I just added, it shows a blank text box asking me to add a value. I tried typing "left," and "left align." These attempts didn't work. I would really appreciate any insight into getting a page working with the sidebar, clearing the blue background. I don't know what's going on.
You'll need to study up some on basic CSS terms.
CSS Tutorial
Align is invalid code. What you probably want is:
text-align:left;
text-align:center;
text-align:right;
Clear is only applicable to floated elements. It doesn't remove colors.
footer {
color: #FFF; /**this is white text**/
background-color: #000; /**this is black background**/
/**or**/
background:none;

If you take it out of the shop ..you are on your own buddy
sorry if this is posted in the wrong place..?
I am about to buy my first ever Apple Mac ( iMac ) when the current freezing / screen problems have been resolved
as a total newbie to the world of Mac's , I would like to walk into the Apple Store, and buy the machine
at the same time get the shop to set up the machine I am buying so it can be checked out .
The reason I am concerned about checking the new iMac out in the store is that
its a well known fact that '' customer services '' is not regarded highly here in Thailand
and I see many instances where the customer has been totally let down by so called
warranties and guarantees , from the smallest retailer to major Thai based International
companies . There’s numerous forums here in Thailand that show the vast number of
complaints , some related to Apple Suppliers, the norm here in Thailand seems to be if you take it
out of the shop , you are on your own buddy. I am not saying all Thai Apple suppliers are
Letting down their customers, but the complaints show many are.
So my main concern is that knowing when I do buy my new iMac , once I leave the
apple Store , and may be have a problem , the chances of the apple Store being willing to offer what’s only
considered by others as a normal response of yes sir just bring it in so we can look and help put any
problems right , may well be missing here in Thailand . One problem here is that when you are
purchasing any thing from a computer to a car the Thai way of selling has only one route .. Just tell the customer
what he wants to hear and forget about the actual facts, So when I ask the Apple sales person .. any problems I can
bring it back ... ? Yes Sir you can , but the reality is more like .. ive got a problem with my new iMac.. can you
help ..? Not sure sir I have to see my boss leave it here and I will call you, this is normally followed by a long
Period of silence...
I was in the Apple shop yesterday ( the sales assistant did not really seem know too much about the Products) as when I asked how much an Apple Modem was , his reply was we don't sell them as all Macs come with an internal modem ..?, but they did have the new iMac on display , 20 & 24 inch , and If I wanted he would get one from the stock room and set it up in the show room so I could see / inspect / try it out. so as you can see it will be very important to me to set up the new machine to inspect / try it out as much as possible , before taking it home..
So here’s my newbie question... As I really want to try out the iMac in the store before I take it home what things would I need to look for / try out
( may be relating to the current iMac problems ) and any general Mac related things to try / check out ..? as a total Mac newbie a simple step by step
idea would be most appreciated , along with any comments or advice you can offer this Newbie .

\- Check for freeze-ups -- I'll defer to others for advice on how.
\- Check for pixel defects -- examine the screen carefully with both solid white and solid black backgrounds. An in-store, pre-purchase inspection is your ONLY protection against getting stuck with bad pixels.
\- Check for acceptable color and brightness uniformity. Examine the overall appearance of the screen with solid white, gray, and aqua-blue backgrounds.
\* Many (most? all?) 20" iMacs have top-to-bottom color and brightness gradients with "washed-out" colors near the bottom edge of the screen.
\* Many (most? all?) 24" ALU iMacs have left-to right brightness gradients and/or a yellow tint in the center/right of the screen.
Here are some photos that should help you recognize brightness/color gradients:

Why are your Data Plans SO SCREWED UP? You are Unfairly making the average data user Subsidize the Big Data Users. This kind of thing is why I left AT&T and came to Verizon a Decade ago. Their plans sound better now, maybe I should go back.
I currently have 5 phones/lines. 2 Droid MAXX phones, a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and 2 basic phones (4+ year old Motorola & Samsung). The cost for each line rose considerably and usage fees more than doubled on the 2 basic phones when I upgraded the 3 smartphones at the beginning of this year and Had to Convert from my old Unlimited Family Plan to the Newer Share Everything Plan. My Data Usage varies a lot due to occasional travel which I have little control over. At least you recently began including a $10 deduction on each of the 2 older phones (which I have not updated in order to save money though they need updating). My Sweet Spot on Data would be around 6GB Monthly Data. But that level is not offered. Only 2, 3, 4, 10, or 15 GB plans are offered.
Verizon's Data Plans Offered Are: 2GB-$50/MO = $25/GB * 3GB-$60/MO = $20/GB * 4GB-$70/MO = $17.50/GB * 10GB-$80/MO = $8/GB * 15GB-$100/MO = $6.66/GB * And Overages are Charged at $15 per 1k-1GB.
Offers JUMP From 4GB TO 10GB (There's a 6GB GAP/JUMP - ***) - Why is there NO 6 or 8 GB offering? Because Verizon is Overcharging the Lower Data Users! Seems like All of the Other Cellular companies are Offering Better Deals.
If you can offer something better please let me know, otherwise I may have to consider going back to AT&T or moving to one of the other cellular companies. -
How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems. I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.
Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback. I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod. I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs. I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again. Do you know how to back up music to my computer? I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

When are you going to fix things
This is to apple,
I have posted messages and messages on this support (supposely) support website and there seem to be no asnswer, the system prefference has forzen since I installed Lion, nor apple certified techs nor this forum seem to be giving a correct answer,.... the application mail cannot reply to message directly. Whenever I click reply, instead it shows reply all and when I click there, nothing happens, so each time I have to compose a new message,... come on, stop parinsig the system and fix the buggs first,.... at least Microsoft does it that way.Never install 1.0, or that ends in "dot zero"
Backup and clone first
do a clean install after making sure you know what you are getting into
I didn't take it to mean Office for Mac, but Office for Windows. I do think 10 million users and public beta of Windows 7 went a long way to making Windows 7 experience better (and 400 million copies sold in 20 months).
Do a clean install of Lion;
Wipe Lion and install and continue to use 10.6.8
And wait a year to test Lion
There are a number of tutorials, PowerPC app checkers, list/table of known issues, updates, what is compatible, including one from Adobe, from Microsoft.
And this is not monitored by Apple - though once in awhile a thread topic gets picked up in more maintstream tech news outlets.
Any new OS though will have 100s of threads and complaints. My guess is 10% will always have a bad experience, and some with professional needs (this is afterall a forum here for tower workstations, not laptops and consumer oriented equipment) are most likely to take a "wait and see" and wait for updates for critical hardware and pro software apps. hence, more likely to wait and give vendors and even OS 6-12 months to mature. I could make a strong case for every Mac OS and Mac Pro that it was 9 to 12 months for some things to surface, to be fixed, for software.
One step forward, one or two back, 10.6.4 graphic glitches a year ago anyone?
the audio bug in 2009 that caused core temps to hit 85*C? fixed 8 months later. And then only for 10.6, never back fix for 10.5.8.
As for Mail, there are quick assist guides and even a web form to test your settings, which is why I think this is the wrong forum and directed you to Mail Support.
