Any way of taking a screenshot to show the mouse cursor?

I often take screenshots to explain things on the FCP X forum etc.
In FCP X, like most video editing apps, the cursor can change its appearance dramatically according to what tool you are currently using.
Unfortunately taking a screenshot does not display the cursor or its appearance at that moment.
I have a workaround involving making a video of the screen and cursor using Screenflow but this is ridiculously complicated.
Is there a simple way of recording the cursor's icon on a screenshot?

Your mention of third party app got me Googling and lo and behold there is a free Dashboard widget which captures the cursor in whichever incarnation it happens to be!

Just to prove its efficacy, here is the result with the cursor (or Trim Tool) arrowed.

Any way to fine-tune image position without the mouse?

First to explain what I'm doing: I'm placing a series of digital photos side-by-side on the Timeline, with cross-dissolves in between them. Each image shows the same drawing, only it gets more and more developed as it goes along. For this to work well, each succeeding image must be placed exactly on top of the preceding one. So what I've been doing is carefully adjusting the position of each new picture in the Canvas, using the mouse, until it sits as precisely as I can get it on top of the preceding one.
(By the way, I'm doing this by putting a cross-dissolve between two pictures, and then putting the playhead right in the middle of the dissolve, so that I can see both images at the same time. Then I move the most recent picture around with the mouse, that is, by holding down the mouse button and carefully pushing it until the two images are superimposed as closely as I can get them.
Trouble is, the mouse is not a very precise tool for this. What I'd like to do is the sort of thing you can do in Photoshop, Indesign, and other programs where you can select something (like an image or object) and then nudge it around with the arrow keys, one pixel at a time. By tapping the arrow keys, left, right, up, down, you can jog things around with great precision, which is just what I need in a situation like this, trying to get these pictures exactly on top of one another.
In Final Cut, of course, the arrow keys don't do that; they move the playhead around in the Timeline.
So my question is: when you want to move images around in the canvas with great precision, is there some way to dispense with the mouse and precisely nudge them around with keyboard keys? Or any other way?
Thanks for any advice,
Tom

Hold the Option key while using the up-down-left-right arrow keys in order to adjust the pictures centre 1 pixel at a time.
Hold the OPTION and COMMAND key while using the arrow keys in order to adjust the pictures centre 0.1 pixel at a time.
(Double click the clip in the timeline to open it in the viewer. Go to the motion tab there. Now again click on the canvas and do as I described above. You'll see the Center-values change.)
If this 0.1 pixels is not even enough, you'll need to zoom in the canvas. Select canvas. Command +. Then use the mouse. Shift Z to return to full image canvas (=Fit To Window)

My power button has stopped working is there any other way of taking a screenshot

My power button has stopped working is there any other way of taking a screenshot

If the power adapter is already plugged into your computer, the AC power cord is likely to spark as you attempt to plug it in. The power adapter is designed to shut down when a potentially damaging situation occurs. The "sparking" can cause over-current and over-voltage protection circuits to turn the power adater off. When this occurs, you should unplug the power adapter from the wall, unplug the power adapter from the computer, wait 15 seconds, plug the power adapter into a properly-grounded AC wall outlet, and then plug the DC output cable into the Mag-safe connector.

Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails? Please help. Thanks!

That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file. First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
Click to view full size
If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Is the any way to totally delete a TV show from the iCloud?

Is the any way to totally delete a TV show from the iCloud?

No. TV Shows are kept in the cloud which is a different thing all together from iCloud. iCloud is your own personal strage space for backups and other App data. "the cloud" in the case of Tv shows and movies is in Apple's own media servers. So you can't simply delete a show from there.
This however means that the show in the cloud is not taking up space in your iCloud storage. As Axeman points out: you can Hide it, but you'll need a computer to do so.

I hope this will help you with your problem:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.

Any way to have file size included in the first search in finder?

Is it possible to somehow show file sizes when doing a search in finder?
On Panther, it was very helpful to have the file sizes listed. This immediately revealed whether the photoshop files I was looking for were full size or reduced.
But when I run a search in Snow Leopard it only shows name, kind and last opened. Otherwise I have to also add a second search to add in file size.

Well, I wish I could take credit for knowing it was there before two days ago... but I dropped my laptop a couple months ago and it finally died for good on Friday, and I noticed this on the new laptop when setting up my Finder preferences.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time?

Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time? My professors at school have keynote presentations and i take notes during class with the presenter notes feature. I was wondering if there was any way i can view both of them on the same screen on my iPad while studying? This way I could see their slides along with the notes i take during class.

None that I know of. Suggest to Apple.

Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

About Google toolbar............
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?

No, because you can't set a columns view default.
