Capturing a portion of the screen with w/ com+sft+3

Last night while doing one of the screen captures I do all the time, I suddenly got a little cross hair icon and found I was able to select a portion of the screen to capture. I had never seen this before and certainly didn't do anything different than I usually do (at least not knowingly). I did a few times and it was great. This morning I tried to recreate the ability but am unable to. Does anyone know what may have allowed this? I can't think why it would do that out of nowhere. It's a nice feature and would like to be able to use it again.

Does anyone want to make me feel more silly by telling me that the feature has been there for years and years? =)Sure. I believe it's been there since OS 7 or OS 8.

The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, I don't get the icon on the Itunes window (rectangle with a triangle at the bottom of it) that allows me to select the stereo that is connected to my airport?

The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, the Itunes window doesn't show the icon (rectangle with an arrow in it) that allows me to select the stereo system speakers that are attached to the airport. What's up with that?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
Cheers.

AppleScript to map wacom tablet to portion of the screen area?

Other Wacom models have options in the preferences to map a portion of the screen area but the Cintiq does not. How can I accomplish this with AppleScript?
tell application "TabletDriver"
          set tabletNumber to 1
          set transducerNumber to 1
          set screenNumber to 2
          set XDIM to 19200

I am new to photoshop but jumped ahead and bought a Wacom Tablet for Christmas. Since Christmas, I have read all of these different posts about how the Wacom and Mac don't really "play well together". I am disappointed, but hoping someone may have some encouraging news. I have a macbook pro 13" - 2009 model but with most updated OS. I do NOT have Maverick!
My question....should I even take the Wacom tablet out of the box or should I just send it back to B & H photo? I have worked on a mac for over 30 years, but still do not feel computer savy enough to manage the mess (that it could be) of connecting the Wacom to my macbook pro. Anyone have any suggestions?

I hit the magnifier tool on my iPad and now it only shows a portion of the screen and I cannot get out of it. What do I do?

Which magnifier tool are you referring to? If you double-tap with 3 fingers it should disable zoom. Then you can go into Setttings>Accessibility>Zoom and turn it off.

Capturing a region of the screen

Hi.
I would like to present the user with a fixed-size rectangle which can be moved across the screen with the mouse, and then, when the mouse button is clicked, capture the region of the screen contained within the rectangle and save it to a file. I've got the capture-to-file problem solved, but still don't know how to alow the user to move a rectangle with the mouse.
Thanks!

You can't without some native code, or maybe the Skin L&F (www.l2fprod.com) which I believe supports transparent windows. There is some code out their that uses Java without those things, but I don't believe it would work without looking bad.

How to lock portions of the screen

I'm new to Contribute, having just downloaded a trial
version. The software seems geared toward the user who will be
making modifications to websites, not an administrator. How do you,
as an administrator/site designer, lock certain portions of the
screen so that users can't fiddle with them? Does this only work
with Dreamweaver templates?
The sites I design do NOT live on a server of mine. Each
customer finds their own host, so I cannot control access that way.
I also build very basic, barebones sites using tables and
external style sheets, and do all of my HTML coding from scratch. I
do not use Dreamweaver or any other WYSIWYG HTML packages, so I
don't work with templates. Can such locks be implemented using my
style of site design?
Thanks for any info. I searched the Adobe site but couldn't
find an answer.

You could try faking a Dreamweaver template by copying DW
template tags (i.e. HTML comments) into your source pages. But DW
is a great page and site building tool and you can always try a
trial version of it.

I have a PowerMac G4 running ProTools that no longer boots up. All I get is a file folder on the screen with a flashing question mark in it. Ran the Utility disk and all systems passed. Any ideas?

You need to use the computer's install disks to repair the hard drive or install a new OS.

Zoom the screen with ctrl 2-Finger Swipe not working in Mavericks

I just bought a new Macbook Air for my wife (running Mavericks) and can't figure out why the Zoom the screen with ctrl 2-Finger Swipe is not working.
I can't find the setting anywhere.
I looked on my Macbook Pro running Mavericks (on which the zoom still works), but I cannot find the setting on that computer either.
Please help.
Thanks

System Preferences---> Accessibility---> Zoom---> Use scroll gesture with modifier key to zoom. Select ctrl in the drop down menu.
It's a feature not normally turned on, so you might of had it turned on on your Mac before upgrading to Mavericks. And it just kept the setting.

I am having a Startup problem. Someone comes on the screen with Open Firmware to Startup. How can I reset the PRAM myself to solve this problem?

Hi I have an Ipad 3 (new ipad) and it wont let me open up the screen, it just comes up with'this machine hasnt been backed up for so many weeks, when you press ok, it just stays there and cant do anything else ???

I Have an Ipad 3 and it wont let me open the screen,it just comes up with 'This machine has not been backed up for so many weeks' and when you prsss ok nothing happens, its just locked out ,. Any Ideas ??

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

The itunes window on my desktop fails to display the bottom most portion of the screen unless I go into full screen mode. Why?

As a follow up to provide more detailed information.
I have a MacBook as well running 10.6.8.
When I open itunes, the window I expect to come up does. It has a scroll that allows me to view all of my playlists, as well as hit the new playlist icon at the bottom of the screen, etc.
On my Macbook Pro running 10.7.4, when I open itunes, there's no scroll bar, no icons at the bottom most portion of the screen. The only way that I can see the new playlist icon AND be able to view/scroll through all of my playlists is to enter full screen mode....very inconvenient as the window is now fixed (can't be moved out of the way) without exiting full screen mode.
I'm a multi-tasker...rearranging windows, making one application active while another moves into the background, is my typical work situation.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
Michael

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
