Can't Recall Two-Digit Screensets! Ideas?

Hi,
I can't figure out why I'm unable to recall two-digit screensets other than from the Screenset menu. I'm holding down Control, have tried both the number pad and QWERTY number keys, the fn button (I'm on the new flat Apple keyboard): nada.
Any ideas? It's driving me batty.
Thanks.

It could be that the behaviour has changed, since it was a loong time ago I dealt with this.
Let me look and see how LP8 behaves here.
Hmm. I don't have 0 or control-0 mapped to anything (verified in the key commands window) and I cannot save or recall screensets 10, 20 etc. So I do not see the behaviour you describe, I see it working like the manual describes, as least so far...
Edit: Ah, I see, if you use the duplicate commands, and pick your screenset destination from the dialog, you can indeed use screensets 10, 20 etc, you just can't recall it from the keyboard...
Something's lurking at the back of my brain from mailing lists past that makes me think this was always the case - not really a bug as such just an implementation quirk...
So yes, it appears that those 0-numbered screensets are technically available, just that they shouldn't really be used because they cannot be recalled from the keyboard.

Double-Digit Screensets

These don't seem to work as indicated in the manual.
I have four screensets, all locked, they are numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4. I access them easily by simply typing the single digit number on my number-pad.
Now, for example, I would like to create screensets 12 through 13. The manual says to use Control-# for the first digit (in this case "1"), followed by the next digit (in this case "2"). In actually doing this, though, the initial Ctl-1 brings up my locked screenset 1, then typing "2" simply takes me to screen set two.
In my case this will work if I create screenset 85. I hit control-8, and since there is no screenset 8, it goes nowhere. Then my second "8" concludes the process by indicating "Screenset 88" at the top of the screen. But similarly, I can't create 81, 82, 83, or 84. If I issue ctl-8 followed by any of these numbers (1,4), it will simply return me to screensets 1 through 4.
Incidentally, despite my indication above that screensets 1 through 4 are locked, having them unlocked makes no difference.
The difficulty seems to be this, Ctl-[digit] doesn't respond by waiting for another keystroke, it goes immediately to the screenset, making double-digit screensets impossible if the initial digit has a screenset associated with it.
How about this one: Trying to create a screenset 55 I issue ctl-5, the system does nothing, as there is no screenset 5. I then release the ctl key and issue a "4" which brings up screenset 4. I then issue and unmodified 5 and suddenly I have a screen set 55! It recognized the ctl-5 as an indication of a soon-to-be-whole double digit screenset, took me to screenset 4 when the keystroke was issued and then (for all intents) saved screenset 4 AS screenset 55 when I issued the next 5.
Irksome!

It works fine for me.
If I want screenset 11, I hold control and hit "1" twice, quickly in succession.
If I want screenset 34, I hold control and hit "3" and while still holding control hit "4", quickly in succession.
So effectively, you are holding control for both digits and thus doing a control+first digit and control+second digit.
The key is to do it quickly without releasing control, otherwise a small timeout expires and the second key press (control+second digit) will be interpreted as a single digit screenset.
The manual says:
"For two-digit screensets, hold down the Control key while entering the first digit."
It does work like this, but often people can't release the control key and hit the second digit quickly enough. I just did some testing, and it worked as described in the manual for me, even with a significant delay entering the second digit.
But in general, just keep it held down for the second digit, and enter them quickly.
For me, under no circumstances does control-X take me to screenset X, it always does nothing until receiving the second screenset digit.
A thought: I do remember somewhere between LP7 and LP8, some of the behaviour of handling key commands changed giving some funky behaviour. If you are having problems accessing certain screensets, try removing and re-learning the screenset key command assignments, and seeing whether this improves the behaviour you see on your system.
You may also want to try trashing your preferences and control surface preferences as well.

Unable to back up external hard drive via Time Machine. Says no room but has back ups from two previous Mac notebooks on it. Tried deleting them and now can't do anything. Any ideas?

As john noted, eventually that external is probably not going to be big enough, but it certainly is for now. The HD just needs enough capacity to cover the amount of data on your internal HD, not the internal HD's total capacity.
Format/partition the external as follows and you should be set to go:
1. Connect the external HD to the MBP.
2. Open Disk Utility on the MBP.
3. Select the external HD in the left pane.
4. Click on the Erase tab.
5. Choose the Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
NOTE: if you want to zero the HD (which I always think is a good idea, but does take time), click on Security Options, click the button for Zero Out Data, click OK. The larger the HD, the longer this will take, in some cases several hours.
6. Click on Erase and wait for the entire process to finish.
7. Click the Partition tab.
8. Click on Volume Scheme: and choose the number of partitions (just one in this situation).
9. Click on the Options button (located underneath the Volume Scheme pane) and select GUID.
10. Click Apply.
11. Quit Disk Utility.
Backup your internal to the external. What application are you using to backup with? I highly recommend both SuperDuper! and CarbonCopyCloner.

Can I have two accounts on one imac

can I have two accounts on one imac

You have no idea how happy i would be to be proved wrong on this .. there are loads of posts in the discussion forums saying its impossible. If you can point me to where we are going wrong it would be very much appreciated. This is what we have tried ...
1. Create a 2 iTunes libraries on a single computer login (switching with the ALT key when starting itunes)
2. Create a new user account on the computer, create an iTunes library on each individual login.
In each scenario, the same thing happens. We can
- Start iTunes in the right library
- Log in to the iTunes store etc with each account.
The problem comes as soon as you try to download a purchased item, ie if I buy a song on my iPhone then try to down load it from the "purchased items" of iTunes account it was purchased under. iTunes gives a message saying that if i download something bought under iTunes Account 2, iTunes account 1 will be disabled from downloading or auto-download for 90 days as "this computer is already associated with an Apple ID"
Should probably have put this into the origianl post for clarity, apologies. i didnt really mean "logged in", we can log in to each iTunes account from the different libraries, but we can use the purchasing or download functionality - hopefully this makes more sense.
If you know how to set this up properly, it would be amazing if you could share it here?
Many thanks

Can I have two separate email addresses in my mail?

Hi,
Can I have two separate email addresses/users with my one email account without paying anything extra?
For instance: one email address with [email protected]
And another one at: [email protected]
And, if that's possible:
1. Does it mean paying extra because you are having two separate accounts?
2. Since it is on the same general account, do the emails and return emails show in the same location or do they show in a different place? For instance, if the 2nd user sends and email and someone returns it, will I as the first user name see both of those?
Thanks much,
Lee

You can have up to five additional addresses, but they are not separate accounts. They are called 'email aliases' and are simply extra addresses which feed into the main inbox (and please note that you cannot create any new @mac.com adresses, they will be @me.com). Please see here about aliases:
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/mobileme.html#alias
It's actually a good idea to give everyone an alias address rather than the main one, since if it gets spammed you can easily change it, whereas as you can't change your main address without opening a new account.
If you need extra email accounts then you could go for a MobileMe Family Pack. Of course you can always set up free accounts with Google or Yahoo.

How can I copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

Hi,
I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
3. No right click works on track pad?
4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.

1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

Can you have two Enterprise CA on the same AD Domain at the same time

Hello
Can someone please help me with the following question
If I have a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Root CA on the AD Domain can I also Add a separate Windows 2012 R2 Enterprise Root CA to the same domain.
We do not use Autoenrollment on the existing 2003 R2 CA.
Network guys want to introduce a Cisco BYOD (Bring Your Own Devise) solution using Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine) which uses SCEP/NDES and therefore need certificates from CA. The thing is the ISE recommend 2008 AD CS as a minimum
Therefore I wonder if Installing a 2012 R2 Root CA that only provides certificates via the NDES/ISE solution would be a possibility.
I understand the Root CA Cert is held in a container under the 'Configuration' partition in Active Directory. Therefore can you have Two Root CA certs in the AD container at the same time for the same AD Domain/Forest?
The idea would then be to migrate other services to the new CA and phase out the old 2003 R2 CA over time.
Thanks All

How can i add two values under the same property?

Hi all,
How can i add two values under the same property name in a
prop list? For example:
[question1: "item1","item2", question2: "item3","item4"]
To be more precise, i am creating a property list and I want
whenever a two values have the same property name to be added int
he list under the same property. For example:
gMyList.AddProp (#""&question&"" & x,
member("input").text)
question is a variable that is updated fromt he user's input.
Now, whenever somethign like this happens:
question = "question1"
member("input").text = "five"
question = "question1"
member("input").text = "six"
I want to output list to be:
[question1: "five","six"] and so on
Any ideas?

Maybe you could make each property a list (so you have a
property list full
of lists), and add multiple values to the list held in a
particular
property?

ADF Faces 10.1.3.0.4 - two-digit-year-start has no effect?

Hi all,
I have problem with entering date with an af:selectInputDate control:
the user enters the date and on an onblur event, the adf field
automatically reformats it:
10.10.10 ->10.10.2010
10.10.60 ->10.10.1960
The user (customer) wants 2 things to change:
1. if the given two digit year <= actual year (06):
10.10.06 ->10.10.2006
otherwise
10.10.07 ->10.10.1907
2. by entering a date, adf have to be accept the date without dots too:
101006 ->10.10.2006
1.: I tried to set theconfig param: <two-digit-year-start>2006</two-digit-year-start> (or with an EL expression) in the adf-faces-config.xml but it has no effect.
Is it a totally wrong idea or is it a bug?
Any other idea?
2.: Is it possible to solve this problem with a built in control or converter? Or do i have to write my own converter?
Thanks for any help!

The exception is gone - I must have had something wrong in my classpath. However, I still see the warnings. Are those warnings expected when using ADF in conjunction with myfaces?

How to capture first two digit in a number

Hi,
I have numbers with differeent lenth in a variable How to capture first two digit??
Thanks.

Hi,
We can achieve that using the following methods:
DATA : loc_1 type string,
loc_2(2) type c.
loc_1 = '123423428340923990'.
loc_2 = loc_1+0(2).
Here you will get only the first two digits.
You can use move statement also.
MOVE LOC_1(2) TO loc_2.
If you are having mixed string with characters and digits mixed together i.e. like this 'test01test03sample01'.
You can so that using this method.
data : lv_length type I.
loc_1 = 'test01test03sample0'.
LV_LENGTH = STRLEN( loc_1 ).
DO LV_LENGTH TIMES.
*&-- Read from first string validing the numeric fields and move your first two digits to the required variable --&*
ENDDO.
Hope it will be useful.

Sakthi

Can't recall password when connecting 2 Macs via Firewire (Snow Leopard)

In Leopard I used to be able to connect my iMac and my Macbook to each other with a Firewire cable and share/move large files between them. Since the upgrade to Snow Leopard when I connect the two machines up I'm prompted to enter a password which I can't recall setting. I've tried all my usual password variants to no avail
Is there anyway I can find the password that I set or can I change one of them?
EDIT: If I connect as a Guest I can see the shared folder on my machines (I have Filesharing turned on). An easy workaround would probably be to add the folders I need to play with to the Filesharing list but I'm more concerned about the password issue

All of a sudden the screen on my 3+ year old macbook pro has blurred badly - I can hardly read the words - any ideas?

You likely didn't erase the ENTIRE drive of the later OS X operating system before installing Snow Leopard. You just targeted the Macintosh HD partition.
Try again, this time make sure to select the name and size of your boot drive at the top to catch the hidden EFI partition that's responsible for the splash screen at boot time (no screen = white)
It will take two reboots to reset the EFI again, so once Snow is installed and reboots, reboot again.

Can we join two totals tables in ABAP Query

Hey Gurus!
Can we join two totals tables in ABAP query.
I am tyring to join FAGFLEXT with internal orders totals table.
Thanks
S

Hi,
Report painter majorily operates around characteristics and key figures.
ABAP query comes even more handy. The advantage is -
1. You can link many tables
2. Create selection screen as you like to have
3. User friendly report creation
4. Logic can also be coded.
5. Authorization can be set
I have written a article in SDN, which gives you an idea as to how to go about using ABAP query. Have a look on this - [Article - Practical Usage of ABAP Query|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20f6b256-23be-2b10-8b93-cad83a617634]
