Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

Hi All
Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
Cheers
Brett

Easy way to switch between Headphones and Surround in

I'm looking for some sort of utility that can make it easier to switch between headphones and surround speaker setu
ps.
As it is right now, I use my headphones for FPS gaming and such but when I listen to music, etc., I want to then have XP go back to settings for 5. surround. I keep both my headset and speakers hooked up and just power off the speakers when I used my headphones.
Is anyone aware of a utility that can automate this?
At the worst perhaps just a tray icon that I can quickly select the desired setup but better would be a utility that watches the current apps and lets me tell it what the right settings are for each and change it on the fly.Message Edited by Agrajag on 0-08-200804:57 PM

i don't know of any way to automate this process.... i have speakers and a surround sound system, but my computer is usually set to the surround sound setting. i just leave it like that when i use my headphones. the headphones work alright when the surround sound setting is on, as far as i can tell. hope this helps

Is there a quick way to switch between bridge and mini bridge in ID

I know you can right click in Mini bridge to select revel in bridge (on a Mac) but is there a way to do this in reverse?
I often, many times a day have a folder open in bridge, when it is time to work on a design I would like to tell InDesign mini bridge to navigate to the same folder I have open in Bridge. Navigating around folders in mini bridge is a complete pain! The navigation system isn't in the least bit intuitive.
Any known shortcuts?
Thanks Graham.

Any known shortcuts?
Not to my knowledge, I already told my opinion about MB in the other thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5554101#5554101
Your best shot is prepare a collection in Bridge itself with the files you think you might need for a project and choose collections in MB to browse in as the base for your projects in MB. Selecting the name of the collection is far easier then browsing through a bunch of nested folders
the second best is the app short cut in Mac OS with cmd + Tab to switch to Bridge. Select the file and with right mouse click choose place in InDesign.
But I agree, both options are far from ideal.

Is there an easy way to switch from Entourage (MS Office email) to Apple email? The new MS Office does not support Entourage.

I am looking for a way to shift from Entourage (MS Office email) to the Apple system for email? The new MS Office does not support Entourage.

Philip if you can't find your answer in this forum try the Snow Leopard forum, Mail is considered part of OS X so you may have luck there.
Also you also may want ot be more specific when posting. I'm assuming because you only mention Mail all you are interested in is switching to Mail or did you have more in mind?

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

While not in edit mode:
- if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
- if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

Just the regular way. Take the photo and then open the Messages app and select that photo and send it. That does not seem hard.

Is there an easy way to switch mini dvi between monitor and tv?

I would like to be able to connect my mini's dvi output to a either a monitor or my tv. I am not trying to get a display on both simultaneously. With a DVI to DVI cable between mini and monitor and a dvi to hdmi cable between mini and tv I think that I can swap dvi connections at the mini, but that looks like a pain. Is there an easier way to do this?
I am about to order the dvi to hdmi cable. Is the mac mini's dvi port hot plugable or do I need to put the mini to sleep or shut down? Thanks,
Owen

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Without some extra hardware, you can't. The mini, like all Macs, looks for data from the display to determine what settings it makes available to the user, so with two displays connected and feeding their available configurations, the mini will get very confused! Even if the two displays have one or more common settings that will actually work, each time the mini boots or wakes and detects the display, one or other (or both) are likely to go blank.
There are adaptors you might consider, such as those from Gefen, but they are not inexpensive. Have a look at http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproductlisting.jsp?listingCategory=Switchers&productTy pe=dvi for a list of available switching options, though beware that for the most part, the need being met is for TWO sources and ONE display, not your ONE source and TWO displays.

Is there an easy way to switch back and forth between apps on an iPhone 4?

By "going through the Home button" do you mean double tapping the Home button to bring up the recently used apps tray?

Is there an easy way to toggle between an Apple ID and a cell phone number in Messages?

My son has an iPod but just a regular cell phone. We communicate a lot through texts/Messages but he doesn't always have a wifi connection on his iPod so sometimes, he is only reachable through his cell phone number and other times through his Apple ID. Is there an easy way to select which channel I want to contact him through on Messages?

Hi,
On your Mac in Messages with his conversation in "focus" (the one selected) Click and hold his Name in the "to" Spot and the top right of the right hand pane where the conversation is.
This will become a Drop Down and show you the iMessages (and other accounts he might have) options.
In some cases they may not have been used before and may not have the indicator.
Example
NOTE.
Any phone number will be listed as a potential iMessages ID as well any emails.
In the above example I happen to know that both the emails are Apple IDs (What I don't know is if my wife as linked either to her iPhone Number)

On my old macbook (osx 10.6.8), is there an easy way to clone my new SSD HD before installation? I have the cable connector for the new SSD to the USB port

My Macbook, 2007 vintage with osx 10.6.8 and an 80GB original HD is going to get a new brain....a 240 GB HD. I have the USB cable to connect the new HD to the laptop before swap of the drives. Is there an easy way to transfer the appropriate info from the old HD to the new SSD before the hardware swap? Where is the procedure?.....I have a backup plan to use my external backup drive to do this but that would seem rather cumbersome.....Recommendations???

Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.

Is there a way to use both wireless and ethernet without having to unplug the ethernet

I have 7280 all in one, 2 wireless laptops and 2 wired desk tops. At present I have to unplug the ethernet cable any time I want to use the wireless. Is there a way to set up the printer so it will recognize both. any help will be greatly appreciated

No.
Connecting the Ethernet will disable the wireless by design.
Each of these connection methods look like two different devices to the network (with different MAC addresses and potentially different IP addresses). Since there is just one printer, having what looks like two different devices on the network at once would lead to mass confusion for devices trying to access the printer.

Is there an easy way to switch iPhone microphone input from headphones to Bluetooth and back?

When driving I plug my iPhone into the car stereo AUX jack with a cable to listen to music. To receive or make phone calls, or to use Siri, I use a Bluetooth (Jawbone) headset.
If I'm playing music out the headphone jack and then answer a call, when the call ends the music starts playing again through the Bluetooth headset, so I have to switch it back to headphones. Theoretically no big deal, since there's the little airplay icon at bottom right in most music apps. Still, I really wish it would revert to playing through the headphone jacks and I didn't have to do anything. Is that possible?
But it gets more annoying. Let's say I decide to use Siri and want to use the bluetooth. This is fine IF I plugged the headphones in before connecting Bluetooth, but for some reason it often seems to happen that it defaults to the headphone jack, especially if I've been messing with it a bit -- say I was listening to music, then received a call, then hung up, so now music plays through Bluetooth, so I hit the icon to switch music back to headphones, though sometimes this doesn't work and I have to unplug and replug in the headphones. But now usually if I want to use Siri, and I hold down the iPhone home button, or even if I hold down the jawbone button, it will often take input still from headphones.
I can't go into all the variations of this that happen, but almost every car ride there's a pain about this -- someone calls but even though I answer through my headset, the input is still from the headphone jack, and i have to scramble to get the call going through Bluetooth again. Or I have to unplug then replug the headphones after Siri use. None of this even covers something other, like dictating text or making a voice memo, something else that need simply but DOESN'T have an AirPlay-style button on bottom right like the music apps do. Really a pain.
Really wish there were some easy switch to toggle the input.
And again, really wish the music would just go back to playing where to was playing from (headphones) instead of making me switch it either via a button or through unplugging/replugging headphones.
Any solution to this?
Thanks.

Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

Is there an easy way to copy a clip and stack it on top of the clip I copied it from?

I know I can copy it at the end of the sequence and then move it on top of the clip I want, but am thinking there MUST be an easier way.
Thanks

Yes.
Double click the clip in the Timeline and it opens in the Viewer.
Drag the Viewer clip to the Supeimpose area of the Canvas.
Make sure the Playhead is on the clip you require before starting.

Is there an easy way to run an Ajax function from input type=file to test the file name in DB?

I've had the <input type="file"> ... <cffile ...> thing going for a few years now.
There is a database where the uploaded file names are stored once the files are uploaded to the server. It sees things in terms of problems and stores uploaded file name accordingly with the ProbID prepended onto the file name; e.g., MyPicture.jpg would end up in the designated directory and databawe as P416_MyPicture.jpg. This allows user to store pictures with the same name in different problems without a conflict. There has been an issue with certain characters (e.g., spaces, +, #, etc.) causing problems when they are in file names so we have come up with a way using the <cffile ... rename> to replace these chars with _. This means that MyPic+.jpg would end up being P416_MyPic_.jpg.
     This is where the problem appears. If someone were to upload MyPic+.jpg after someone else uploaded MyPic_.jpg in the same problem, then the + file would overwrite the _ file before the system knew they had a problem. And there is now way to restore the original file without going to the system backup and doing so – which is a whole other story … especially, if the person doesn’t tell anyone.
     The logical solution would be to be able to test the new final file name (the name after making the substitutions mentioned above) against the existing files in the database before you went from the page where the <input type=file> control to the associated _action.cfm page where the <cffile> object is located. Given that this seems to be the province of Ajax, this would seem like a natural use of the really interesting technology. I have can determine the file name from the onChange action on the <input type=File> so that this would be the place for Ajax to come to the rescue by looking up the final file name and then letting the user know whether the resultant name is a unique within the database or not. If so, I'll just enable the Add button which sets right next to the <input > control and let them upload it. If not, I'll put up an error message telling them that this file already exists in the system.
     This would be the perfect solution. It would let me do some Ajax stuff like I've wanted to do for the past year, but never have had the time to do because this is the project that won't go away. This is, in fact, the last thing of any consequence that remains to do on this 2-1/2 year nightmare – be careful what you wish for. If I can get this done this week, then maybe I can finally take a weekend off … maybe it will finally come to an end.
     Which finally leads to my question: I'm looking for some tips on how to get this thing going since I can barely spell Ajax. I've got a book and looked at some stuff online about CF and Ajax, but a good example or two or three would be worth a day's worth of poking around on the web and in my books.
     Thanks in advance for any suggestions, ideas, help, whatever.

Adam,
     Thank you for your suggestion, but, after spending the night working with Ben Forta's CF8, vol 2, Chap 34, working with <cfajaxproxy>, I was able to do exactly what I wanted and it appears, after some testing, to work exactly as I had envisoned it should.
     I am now calling a JavaScript function (testFileName) from the onChage event on the <input type="file"> or Browse button, which calls my proxy.cfc that contains the server side of the equation. This funciton testFileName (I've run out of cleaver function/file names). The query contained therein hits the database to see if the passed in parameters can pull up an existing file. If they do, the particulars (file name, data attahced, etc.) are returned to the JavaScipt procedure that puts up the error notice. The user can then chose to either overwrite the file or quit. Quiting leaves the your on the Attachment PopUp where he/she started with nothing being uploaded.
     Thanks again for your suggestion. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.
