Moving around within an audiobook: Has this been addressed?

I love my iPod Touch, but have found that it's useless for audiobooks. I haven't figured out how to use the "playback position slider" to move around inside the audiobook. I must be doing something wrong.
For example, if I need to back up a minute or two to re-listen to something I may have missed or move ahead a little, I'm sunk. The slider (incidentally only visible in vertical mode: why is that??) is 3/4" long, so that -- on a file of (say) more than an hour long -- the tiniest movement of my finger will scroll the file ahead or back 8 or 20 or 37 minutes... and then I can't even find my way back to the old position (e.g. I might recall that I left off at 14:35, but there's no way I can see to get there).
This seems like such a colossally bad design -- I must be doing something wrong. Help!

Oh well, nice try.

Domino 8.5.3 iNotes "send not sending" in Firefox 3.6, has this been addressed in ver. 9 ?

According to IBM Domino iNotes support, the Firefox failed to use the cached signed script, from Domino 8.5.3 iNotes, - signed script also could not be executed at that time, therefore the message was unable to be sent out. - Has this been fixed in Firefox 9 ?

In a word, no.
See http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html for starters and my mod to Finder's Find at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080229204517495 for what you can change so you can find stuff excluded by the default structure. Do note that my mod no longer works in Snow Leopard, further crippling Spotlight searches.

Moving around within an audiobook

4th generation Ipod with clickwheel, audiobooks from Audible.com. I used to be able to use the clickwheel to move forward or back within an audiobook, by sliding my thumb on the clickwheel. Now it will adjust the volume but not let me move around - what happened? If I right click on the clickwheel I jump way forward, left click jump way back, can't move around otherwise.

Oh well, nice try.

I am an activist when it comes to rip-offs and I intend to set up a group to pressure the Ausralian government to legislate to make all computer software producers to make all new software compatible with all old software AT NO COST to the user.
I thought about that myself, but when it comes to Windows XP. It is peculiar that software companies get away with "selling" software that suddenly stops working properly. The problem with XP is of course an environmental one as well. There is a huge number of fully functional PCs that suddenly are no longer supported by Microsoft, and that are not powerful enough to take newer supported MS operating systems. What MS basically recommends people is to throw them away with a horrible cost for our environment.

HI, HAS THIS BEEN CORRECTED YET? I'M AFRAID TO CHECK!

HI, HAS THIS BEEN CORRECTED YET? I'M AFRAID TO CHECK. I ALSO DON'T WANT TO WASTE ANYMORE INK AND PAPER. IT IS GETTING EXPENSIVE,

You may have no choice. If you hear no disk activity, you can hold down Command-Control-power button to force a restart. It should pick up where it left off.
No backup is always risky.

I'm really sorry if this has already been addressed...iMovie problems

Hello, I'm new to the forums. I have a problem, and I apologize if it has already been addressed.
I have a Canon DC-40, which does not have firewire. I love iMovie, and would not even consider using a Windows based movie editor...:) Once I finish my mini DVD on my camcorder, I can burn it onto a DVD so that I can put it inside my iBook G4. The only problem is, if I try to import it, it will start to import than abrubptly stop importing.
I have come to realize that I need to convert my files to .mov, but my files are in .vob. Is there some good programs out there that will help convert my DVD into a format that iMovie will accept?
I have tried several things, converting the .vob into .wmv, (I can use windows applications on my mac) with no avail. It's frustrating, I just want to edit some movies! :P
Any help or even a link to another topic covering this will be so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Sorry, I just found a thread about my problem! I would delete the post but I can't figure it out yet!

Writer initialisation error ! has this been resolved in CS3

I can not encode a wmv from CS3 (since installing CS4) without getting the "writer initialisation error " message.
Has there been any resolution to this issue or any one know a fix.?
I do not wish to continually export an avi then create a wmv from that in Adobe Media Encoder(CS4) or MS Media Encoder.
I know that works but the workflow is time consuming ,tedious and in efficient when all I want is "quick and dirty" preview wmvs direct from the timeline as I used to be able to do.
Sidenote. This forum setup continues to be dire and unpleasant to use since it changed !. Anyone having any sort of decent experience with it? (How?)

Thanx.Hunt
After posting this morning, I discovered another little workflow that may help someone in this situation.
The CS4 Media Encoder (standalone) will import a Sequence from a CS3 Premiere Project and export whatever...
This at least saves the intermediate "Movie" File.
Simply Add the Project to the A M Encoder and choose the sequence. (surprisingly...it works!)
I guess that will have to do meantime.
re the Forum...I have deliberately stayed away until now because of the frustration involved. Only popping in on occassion to see if there are any signs of a CS4 update/fix/repair. (I do not use the CS4 Premiere component at all now and wait patiently to see if they can even repair it at all)
I do not know how anyone has the patience to come here and contribute while this site is in such a state!

Adobe Reader saved tax forms are unreadable by Adobe Reader. Has this been fixed?

When I file my tax deposits it gives an option to "view and save as pdf". In February this would only work if I installed Adobe Reader on my mac so I did. None of the saved deposit records from January thru May is readable. I discovered the problem in June and just sent the pdf to the printer software which then saved it as a pdf.
I didn't find out about it until I tried to read one of the saved deposit pdf's and got Adobe's arrogant little error message that blames everybody else for the problem.
Has this defect been fixed?

When you you finish filing a tax deposit the IRS software provides a list of options for keeping a record of your work. One of them is 'View and Save as PDF' which has the Adobe logo and invokes Adobe Reader. When you click on it, it displays a nicely formatted page showing the transaction you just filed.
When you go to the Safari file menu and click on 'save as…' it asks for a file name and all that and seems to work just fine. But the file it stores has nothing in it.
It used to work just fine. I have been using the view and save as pdf feature since 2008. The same logo the same messages, the same process.
In February of this year when I clicked on the logo it told me I had to load Adobe Reader in my Applications folder. So I did. Everything looked and felt exactly the same as before and I assumed it was working. The only difference is that it now stores empty files. I didn't discover it until I tried to read one of the files and got the message from Adobe Reader.
I am using the same version of the mac os as before; the only change was the one to add Adobe Reader to the applications folder.

CD Insert with mosaic is not printing, just the text prints....never a probem before. Has this been changed?

The CD insert selection of MOSAIC does not print album artwork, only the song title text. What is wrong? This has never been a problem before.

Hi @simplykateg , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're having print issues. I would like to help!
There can definitely be compatibility issues between a 2.0 USB device and a 3.0 connection port. I'd recommend plugging into a 2.0 port.
I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I'd also suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

The lock symbol does not appear when I open a secure page in firefox 4.0. Has this been removed?

Previously, using firefox 3.6.1, when I opened a secure or encrypted page, the lock icon appeared on that page.
When I upgraded to firefox 4.0, the lock icon is no longer appearing when I open a secure page. Please confirm whether this has been removed or in the alternative whether there is a way to determine that the secure or encrypted page is indeed secure to use.

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions. 
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. 
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. 
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

I just noticed Private browing option, has this been downloaded or automatically added? I dont want my kids up to no good, as how can i check what they're looking at? Can you delete the private browser?

Can you delete the private brower option

That has been a feature in Firefox since Firefox 3.5 was released in June, 2009, it's not '''new'''.
Sorry, that feature can't be "removed" without breaking a security part of Firefox, and the developers didn't provide a "switch" to allow parents to turn it off. What's even worse it that there is a Bug filed to disable Private Browsing when the Parental Control's that are built into Windows Vista and Windows 7 are turned on. Nothing has been done to fix that Bug in almost 2 years since that Bug was originally filed. 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471658 
Hell, there hasn't even been a comment posted in that Bug in almost 7 months. I have done everything I can do as a support helper to make the developers aware of how important this Bug is for parents, based upon parental feedback here - that has been accepted as ''' "Thanks .... So it's on average 2 requests for this per week." '''
In all honesty though, even if that Bug is fixed a child can just delete their browsing history in any browser quite easily; sure you'll see that it has been deleted, but you still won't know where they have been. You really need to install some Parental Controls on that PC that tracks the web sites that are being visited outside of a web browser, and can only be accessed with a password.
I don't have any recommendations for that type of software, as I haven't needed it myself. Never had any children, and if I did even my grand-children would probably be old enough not to need monitoring like that.

InDesign CS5 crashes when variables copied: has this been fixed in CS5.5?

Can anyone let me know if this bug has been fixed? I haven't had a reason for upgrading but if this is fixed then there is a reason! I am using variables all the time now, and removing variables then replacing them after I have copied the text they are in is really timewasting.
Thanks

OK, I just made a new blank file in CS5.5, and defined a custom text variable.
The second link seems not to be related, but the third one was pretty clear.
To test I made a text frame and filled with placeholder text, then inserted the varible in a random position. I tried both copy and cut and I can paste to another location in the same file, paste as a varible into a new ID file (it brings the defintion with it) and paste as plain text into Notepad Word 2000 and Excel 2000 (apparently I hate the 2010 versions so much I didn't install them when I upgraded the hardware a few months ago).
I'm on Windows 7, so I can't swear things will work for you (can't swear they will even if you are also running win7), but the indications are that the functionality is here without crashing. You might want to make a backup image of your system in it's current state (so in case things don't work out you can get back easily) and install the trial for CS5.5.
That said, I figured I ought to verify that there was a problem in CS5, and at least for me there is not. I am able to repeat the above test without any issues in version 7.0.4 and in CS4, version 6.0.5, as well so Im more inclined to think there is either some Mac-specific issue (I think the other users were on Mac, and you haven't said) or there is some other problem that is configuration-specific, probably a software conflict of some sort, on your system that is affecting you and that this is not really a bug.
If you post a sample file somewhere that you create that crashes and put a link here, I'll take a look at it and see if it also crashes here.

Desktop moving around within screen

Looks like I might have pressed the wrong keys somewhere. The size of the desktop image has become about 2 ins. larger than the size of the screen so that, when I move on the trackpad, the whole screen image including all the programs on it moves around. So, if I circle my finger on the trackpad, the whole desktop and everything on it circles too. I have gotten over the sea-sick feeling now but I was trying to use Grab and it kept selecting a different area of the screen to the one I thought I was selecting which would indicate there is a mismatch between where Grab thinks the pointer is and where it actually is. I have tried adjusting the screen resolution to no effect and looked everywhere I can think of so I would really appreciate it if anyone knows how to cure this. Thank you.

Go into System Preferences and under Universal Access and the Seeing tab, set Zoom to off.
You will also see that Option-Command-= is the key combo you must have accidentally pressed. You could also leave Zoom on if you want and use Option-Command-- to unzoom.
