Any way to cut an element from a slide?

Is there any way to cut an element on one slide (such as a
text box, mouse movement) and delete it, or cut it and paste it
into/onto another slide?
All I see are options to Copy Background, which when you
paste into another slide it REPLACES the existing background), or
to cut/delete entire slides.
Why would I want to do this?
Sometimes I want to remove text boxes and highlight boxes
COMPLETELY from a slide because they appear in published files even
if their layer visibility is set to hidden. (Probably a bug in CP4)
Sometimes I want to take a mouse movement and put it on
another slide.
I see no way to work with (cut or paste) elements in the time
line.
Can anyone help?

Normally the Cut, Copy and Paste options are available when
working with objects in Captivate. By chance are any of them
locked? If so, that may explain why the option isn't available to
you.
Look in the Timeline and see if there is a Padlock icon
listed. If so, click it to unlock it.

the were not locked, but I have found you cannot Delete a
single element if it is hidden on the timeline.
Also, you can not delete multiple elements at the same time,
and that some elements are tied to others on the timeline and you
have to delete them in a certain order sometimes.
I think Flash still has a much better timeline editing
capabilities.

The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?

I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
This is the problem:

Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
(In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to.

Is there any way to cut audio while keeping the video it is tied to?

ok, I have a video from a dvd i burned on FCE but the sound is messed up. I am going to be making a AMV with it anyway so I don't really need the audio. Is there any way of cutting the audio without disturbing the video it was imported with. I must stress that they were not imported separately.

Place the footage in the timeline. Click the lock key on the vidoe time line. This will place a screen looking thing over the video. Select the audio in the time line and press delete. That will delete the audio but keep the video. Then unclick the lock key and all should be well. Always remeber the "undo" option if you mess up. I use it all the time.

Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

No
he OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present.
How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

thank you for the tip.
Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
Thanks again for the help.

Is there any way to prevent web.xml from any change ?

hi all,
we have a filter in web.xml. Now we want to prevent it from any change in future. I mean after making a war(EAR) no one can change the filter in web.xml. if he chaged it then he will not be able to re deploy the application.Right now it is in web.xml so one can easily change it and then he can redeploy the application.
Is there any way to prevent web.xml from any change after making EAR(WAR)?
One can easily make a change in web.xml and redeploy the application to get the result. Now we want to restrict the web.xml as java class for any change after making EAR(or WAR).
Could some one help me to do this?
thanks,
dinesh

I think you could use some third party software to lock the folder like FolderLock, just make sure others ppl cannot access your file should be fined.
This is my stupid solution only,cheers.

hi,
Not at development level. We want it after deploying the application on server .
We want to create it (web.xml) at tomcat startup (or in any other web/app server ) before loading any context.
Is there any way to run a simple java class(not servlet) on tomcat startup(before initializing the contexts)?

If meta data LUN is totaly destroied , is there any way to rebuild the data from the video LUN

If meta data LUN is totaly destroied , is there any way to rebuild the data from the video LUN ????

What happened to your metadata? Are you sure the metadata is gone?
In theory, file carving could be attempted on the data LUNs, but you would need a tool that understands how Xsan lays out data across LUNs in a stripe group and hope your fragmentation isn't too bad. I doubt such a tool exists, but if one does it almost certainly is not publicly available. You should probably contact a data recovery service with experience recovering data from Xsan. Do that before you do anything else if this data is really important.

Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

Hai all,
I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)

Bro Take it easy.
Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
Now make ur server educated using some commands.
For example:
FileName: <File Name String>
[Means new file is sending by connected client]
FileSize: <File size long or int value>
[ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
DataModeOpen
[Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
DataModeClose
[Means file sending finished]
Close
[Means your client connection is closed]
Now develop a client supporting this command.
For example(Server):
String getFileName=null;
long getFileSize=0;
public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
    if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
           //data mode open so receive data
          receiveData();
          outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
          //close client socket
         getClientSocket.close();
}For client:
DataInputStream dataIn=null;
BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
        //if ok found then do other or show error message
    if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
        if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
            if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
               bout.write(getBytes);
            } else {
               showError(3);
        } else {
               showError(2);
   } else {
        showError(1);
}i think it will help u
