How to switch between libraries?

I have got to do a disk repair. I'm making sure my backup is correct as I don't want to lose all my precious pics. Lucky I checked as I've just discovered I've got two iPhoto libraries! The one I appear to be using is in the mac folder - where Users folder is, Library, System Folder, Updaters etc. It's the first area you come to when you double click on your mac's symbol in upper right corner.
However, I also have an iPhoto library within a folder which is in my User/Pictures area.
I want to make sure that the iPhoto library I'm using is within my user/pictures folder as it's my user files which are being backed up. However, I don't want to trash the one which is there without looking in it to see what's within. How do I switch between libraries?
If it's empty, I can presumable just bin it then use the recommended technique to move my other library to User\Pictures.
Thanks!

If you use iPhoto LIbrary Manager like Larry suggested it will display the library name in the top iPhoto frame like this:
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to switch between different libraries for different iPods?

Hi,
I succesfully created two separate iTunes libraries on my computer (windows XP) for the iPods of me and my girlfriend. But, how can we switch easily back and forth between the different libraries?
The suggested option on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432 'method three' and bullet '13' does not appear / work....

thanx for replying so fast.
No problem, Roy. : - )
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you this time. : - (
i'd like to know how i can switch between libraries without closing down iTunes.
Unfortunately you can only choose your Library at startup. So the only way to switch Libraries is to close iTunes ...

How to switch between messages in the BlackBerry Hub

With the release of BlackBerry 10 version 10.1, we’ve added a new gesture to the BlackBerry Hub that allows you to quickly switch between your next and previous messages. It’s simple: while viewing a message drag your finger from the left to the right and in one continuous motion swipe up or down.
For example, in the following screenshot you’ll notice I am viewing ‘Test 08”. To get to the next message, “Test 09”, all I need to do is swipe from left to right (red arrow) followed by swiping up (green arrow) in a single motion. To switch to the previous message, “Test 07”, I complete the same gesture, but swipe down instead (blue arrow).
Tip: Using a BlackBerry Q10 or Q5? On top of using this gesture to switch between messages, you also have the option of pressing the N key to view your next message, or the P key to view a previous message.
If this gesture doesn’t appear to be working on your device, verify you are using BlackBerry 10.1.0.4181 or later by going to Settings > About and reviewing the OS Version field. If the OS Version is lower than 10.1.0.4181, check for updates by going to Settings > Software Updates.
For more details about the availability of BlackBerry 10.1, check out Inside BlackBerry’s post on BlackBerry 10 Software Updates.

I would set up a variable before you get to that node, lets call it $EmpID and assign to it the value of the prompt you want to play lets say 12345 which would be the library promptID. It will then play prompt, get digits, and once you validate if it goes through the expression that flags it as invalid, in that node re-declare the variable, but this time give it the value of the new prompt you want to play, then sent it back to the node which will then play the new prompt and collect the digits.

MSI R9 290 How to switch between Gaming Modes?

Hi, I just got a MSI R9 290... with Afterburner installed. This card has 3 preset modes that are supposed to be easy to switch between OC Mode 1007Mhz, Gaming 974Mhz, Silent 947Mhz...

You need the Gaming APP for switching (not Afterburner): http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip
Afterburner is for manual overclocking (for advanced users) if not using the modes.

AS: how to switch between screen modes?

hi @ all,
does anybody know how to switch between the 4 screen modes in ps cs3?
- standard
- maximized
- full screen with menubar
- full screen
I looked around but could not find anything discribing a way doing this by applescript.
the only thread I found
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc85cba/0
refers to javascript but I was not able to adopt it.
thanks for any help
Claus

To do it with AS only, you need to simulate the "f" key with System Events:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Adobe Photoshop CS3" to keystroke "f"
end tell
That will loop thought the screen modes as if you did it manually.
To run the JS from the other thread, you need to use the "do javascript" command. Remember to escape all the quotes in the JS:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
do javascript "var screenModeOptions = new Array(4);
     screenModeOptions[0] = \"screenModeStandard\";
     screenModeOptions[1] = \"screenModeMaximized\";
     screenModeOptions[2] = \"screenModeFullScreenWithMenubar\";
     screenModeOptions[3] = \"screenModeFullScreen\";
     applyScreenMode(screenModeOptions[0]);
     function applyScreenMode(mode){
      var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
      var ref = new ActionReference();
      var menuID = stringIDToTypeID( mode );
      ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( \"Mn \" ), charIDToTypeID( \"MnIt\" ), menuID );
      desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( \"null\" ), ref) ;
      executeAction( charIDToTypeID( \"slct\" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
end tell
The JS is the better solution if you wanted to skip directly to the desired screen mode without looping through the others.

How to switch between two query in Web templete.

Hi all,
Here i am facing problem to switch between two query in web template by using one 'table' web item. is there any way to use hyperlink 'SAP_BW_URL' and we can switch to query. here i am using these HTML code..
<table><tr><td class="SAPBEXBtnStdBorder" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td>
<table><tr><td class="sapbexbtnstd" ><A href="<SAP_BW_URL cmd='reset_item' item='table_data' query_ID='ZSD_ZSD_M01_Q20' apply_cmd_on_target= "X">" >Switch to other query</A></td></tr></table>
but i am not getting correct functionality.
please help me to solve this problem.
I know the best way to say thanks in SDN.
thanks
Kiran Patel

Kiran,
Use the web api reset_data_provider as links or in select option in HTML.
   Onchange event of this select option should call JAVASCRIPT method and
   this in turn resets the current dataprovider to your concerned one.
   How to change graphs:
   The graph item has the default data provider:
   <object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="CHART_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_CHART"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="TMP_CHART_DATA_HANDLE" value="IIP_49MOXB0UVNOMM6JOZMZU7QO21"/>
         ITEM:            CHART_1
   </object>
So if you change the DATAPROVIDER_1 using RESET_DATA_PROVIDER to your concerned DP, this changes chart as well !!
   Please use this method and refer to sample code for Onchange Event on SELECT OPTION:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script>
function callDP() {
     if(document.forms[0].dp.value == "1") {
        //form your URL here..
       url = SAP_BW_URL_Get() + "&CMD=RESET_DATA_PROVIDER&DATA_PROVIDER_1=..&...";
        SAPBWOpenURL(url);
        //or docuemtn.location.href = url..
        //etc..
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form>
<select name="dp" onChange="javascript:callDP();">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
HOPE THIS HELPS !!!

How to switch between 2 windows of the same application using Cmd+Tab

Hi,
I am using my mac now since about 10 months. I was used to work with Linux and Windows XP.
Something I am badly missing on mac os x is the possibility to switch between 2 windows of the same application using cmd + tab just like it simply works for Linux and Windows (and maybe many other OS out there!).
Very often I have 2 text files open in 2 editor windows (e.g. TextEdit) and need to copy and paste text from one window to the other. I was used to simply use ALT+TAB. But here I have to get my right hand away from the keyboard and use the mouse to change the focus from one window to the other and then use the mouse again to get the focus back to the previous TextEdit windows.
THIS REALLY *****!!!! It makes me crazy. I cannot believe that such a "modern" OP does not support this action. I must be doing something completely wrong or did not understand the mac correctly. Right?
Does anyone have an idea how I can get mac to do something all other operating systems so easily do?
Thanks
Quartz84

Hi Kappy,
well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
WHY NOT???
Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.

How to switch between primary and secondary langua...

Hi guys,
I've got an e52 but the only way to type in sec. Language while writing a message is:
Option-> Input Options-> writing language-> primary writing language (which must be changed to new one)
so there is no use of second. lang. or at least I don't know how to switch quickly between primary and second language without going that path.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATE.
Aram

HI Everyone,
not sure if this helps. My solution is more fo Singpore users.
As i text between English and Chinese, I was unable to set my Secondary language to Chinese as there is no option to do so in the Writing language menu.
By discovery, i first set my Primay language as Chinese. Then further down the Language menu there is this option Default input. Click on that and select the default using Text case and select Ok.
When writing sms, you can switch between this 2 languages using the # key.
Hope it helps.
Have a pleasant day.

How to switch between JRE version dynamically

hi,
I have got both jre1.4.1 and jre1.5.0_07 installed on y machine. But i need different version of jre to access two different applications.
How can i switch between jdk versions.

Are the JREs being invoked by a browser, if so you can define the preferred version.
In IE
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
    width="100" height="100" name="anApplet">
    <PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="yourClass.class">
    <PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1">
    <PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="true">
        No JDK 1.2 support for APPLET!!
</OBJECT>Substitute type paramter for
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.5.0">When running a Java 5 applet
In Firefox
<object classid="java:yourClass.class"

Full screen mode: How to switch between open windows?

Hi There,
Is there way to get CMD + ` working in full screen mode?
Other shortcuts like CMD + OPT [ ] to switch between open tabs and CMD + TAB to switch apps seem to work - but without the ability to switch between open windows within the same app, full screen mode is kind of useless.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
BTW I'm using Yosemite but the forums won't find a Yosemite community (not sure the community search is working properly)
Cheers
