Aug 24, 2010I have a few questions which I know Adobe Acrobat Pro can accomplish simply, although ideally I don't wish to spend hundreds of pounds on the software.
I have created an online brochure in PDF format and I wish to insert hyperlinks within the PDF to various sections of the brochures website. As I say, Acrobat Pro can do this simply as I've used it before although I was wondering if there is any other PDF software capable of doing such a task?
My second question is regarding allowing PDF commenting. It seems when I create the PDF (From InDesign), commenting is disabled. Can I not create the PDF from InDesign with commenting allowed?
OS X :: Function Keys Not Working / Sound Sys Pref Are Grayed Out?
Sep 11, 2007I just bought a 2.4 MBP model a1260. When I got home i noticed the volume keys were not working, and then i noticed none of the function keys were working properly. (example, f12 shows an eject CD symbol). So, the keys are working but not doing the standard functions such as volume and brightness. I have check and unchecked (and restarted) the "use all f1, f2 as standard function keys" to no result.Some other wierd things that seem to be related are:
1. In the SOUND window in SYS PREFS all sound effects are greyed out. Under OUTPUT and INPUT it says no devices found.
2. When i go to the itunes store in itunes and i double click on a song, it wont play. Not only is there no volume, but song wont play. Its the same with my own music from my cds.
3. When i insert a DVD no volume control shows up.
And the last superwierd thing (haha) is that I reloaded leopard and when the computer restarted up after install there was no OSX music that normally plays as the video flys thru the starfield.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIMac :: Automatic Sleep And Wake Up Function Does Not Work
Jan 21, 2009I'm experiencing very annoying sleep/wakeup problems with Mid 2007 iMac. I think it started after 10.5.6 update.
1. iMac does not go to sleep according to the Energy saving settings, this was actually from the day one. It goes to screen saver, display sleep, but not complete sleep.
2. Since automatic sleeping does not work, I put it to sleep manually by pressing Power button. but in this case it sleeps so deep, that it does not wakeup. The only way to bring it back is to hold the Power button to complete OFF and then power back UP.
I tried, PRAM and permissions tricks, nothing seem to help.

IMac PPC :: G4 800 FP 15" Combo Drive No Ejection Function
Jun 17, 2012Just picked up this iMac, and it was freshly loaded with Mac OS X 10.2.3. Boots up just fine, gets to desktop normally.
However, I can't use the Apple keyboard to eject the combo drive that is empty (no CD inside). The Eject menu is greyed out, and even when I drag the Eject icon to the window for favourites, it is greyed out, so I can't eject the drive.
However, when it boots up , if I hold down the mouse button, it does eject the drive.

MacBook Air :: How To Switch From IMac
Mar 21, 2008I currently use an iMac (20" late 2006 model) as my main computer, but for my next I am seriously considering a MacBook Air. I bought my iMac with the intention of using all of it's power (I got the 2.33Ghz with 256mb X1600), but the only time I really tap into the processor is when I encode video, which I do rarely anymore, and when I play games, which I never do anymore since I have a PS3 for that. Now, all I really do is websurf, listen to music, use Garageband, and other basic stuff.

Mar 25, 2010I?m a long time lurker and this is my first time posting. I?ve been a PC guy all my life and the only apple product I own is the iphone (which I now can?t live without). My current PC is a $300 Acer laptop from 4 years ago (you can imagine how powerful it is :-P ). I?ve decided it?s time to upgrade and now is the perfect time to finally make the switch over to the Mac. I?m just really unsure about what route I should go with given how I will use the machine and I?m humbly coming before you guys for your opinions! I?m under a budget but I?m willing to pay to meet my computing needs, short of springing for a power mac.
