Any way to name Spaces desktops?

I had no install problems with Lion. It's a really good upgrade in many ways. Two things I'd like to see addressed. Is there a way to name desktops under Spaces? Also, can one change the Dashboard background? IMO, the default is just too mundane. Same for the linen gray backgrounds.......these are nitpicky things though so I reckon I can live with them in order to have all the new features that count.

Here's something that's roughly as good as naming spaces: meaningful backgrounds. Eg, I keep a space for system utilities, and I've set its background to be an array of gears ("http://www.fubiz.net/galleries/set/density/photo/3675588792/"). This is a pretty nice solution because it identifies spaces graphically, rather than with text, and the spaces with full-screen apps (no background) are already identified graphically with an app badge.

Acrobat v9 JavaScript Alert Box - any way to add space or line break after each array item?

I have a Document level Javascript used to identify blank required fields and is triggered on document actions, Print and Save. The script identifies the blank required fields, counts them, and outputs to an Alert box indicating the number of required fields blank and lists the fields by tooltip name. The script identifies the required fields by an asterisk at the end of each tool tip.
My question is there any way to add a space or a line break after the comma for each listed item?
Here is an image of the output where the listed items are all run together.
Here is the code:
function validateFields()
//a counter for the number of empty fields
var flg = 0
// count all the form fields
var n = this.numFields
//create an array to contain the names of required fields
//if they are determined to be empty
var fArr = new Array();
//loop through all fields and check for those that are required
// all fields that have a '*' in their tool tip are required
for(var i = 0;i<n;i++){
var fn = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fn);
//tool tip is the fields\'s 'userName' property;
var tt = f.userName
//test for the '*';
if(tt.indexOf('*')!=-1 && f.value == f.defaultValue){
//increment the counter of empty fields;
flg++;
//add the fields userName (tool tip) to the list of empty field names;
fArr[fArr.length] = tt;
//now display a message if there are empty fields
if(flg>0){
app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr,3)
else{
this.print();

Thank you! The alert box array items now have a line break, image below. You know you have made my day and possibly several weeks as now I have more understanding about how to apply everything I have been reading in the Acrobat JavaScript guide and of course as soon as you pointed out using a "join", that triggered some old-days of working with Access and SQL queries.
I will work on the required attribute to see how I might reference it. I am laughing at myself now - good luck to me in figuring it out as I was very stick-in-the-mud regarding the line break issue.
Thanks again and here is the result of the updated code:

Any way around not using Desktop mamager?

Hi guys is there any way around not using the desktop manager?, I find it way too bloated for my slow computer, all I wanna do is transfer some mp3's to my phone.
Thanks.

Hello,
Yup -- if you've installed the Desktop Software and enabled Mass Storage Mode, then your BB should appear as another drive letter in Windows...and you can treat it just like any other USB drive.

Any Way to Name Multiple Libraries?

I had to back up a lost HD and have found that when I Option Click iPhoto I have about 10 libraries. I have Library Manager and have consolidated many but there are still some that show in the Option Click window that I cannot find a path to in Library Manager...is there any way to rename those libraries coming up so that I know which is which? Or how to I locate that particular Library to go into my HD to rename. I am perpetually running Dupe Annihilator and would like to by pass this process. Thank you

Download and use Find Any File to do a search for "Library6.iPhoto". This is a file that is in every iPhoto Library.
The search results window will show where every library is on your computer.

Doesn't the window in iPhoto that you get when you launch iPhoto with the Option key held down show the file path just below the window?

Is there any way to name the records from a data merge?

I have a spreadsheet, that has all the names for the images I'm using for a data merge. What I want to do is name the resulting records after the filenames in one of the columns in the spreadsheet. Is there anyway to do this? Or is there some other way to individually name the records from a data merge? I don't have any scripting prowess, so I can't really mess with that. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You merge it along with the others, just like any field. ID cannot do the naming for you during the merge, but most spreadsheets have lots of logic capabilities that should allow you to extract a name for the record from the filename in the column of your choice. The only reason ID knows to find the image instead of writing the filename is that you've used a special name for the field.

Is there any way to export a desktop AIR package when desktop is not supported by an ANE?

I have a third party ANE that I need to use. The ANE has a target for Android, but when I add it in Build Path->Native Extensions an error shows up "This ANE does not support Desktop(Mac) platform". Now, my app is targeting android, but to make it easy for others in my company to play builds without having a device, I've been using the "Export Release Build->Signed AIR package for installation on desktop" option. The problem is, since I've added the ANE, I'm no longer able to hit the "finish" button because it's greyed out due to the error (even though the checkbox to include the ANE is unchecked in the export settings. The only way I've found to work around this is to remove the ANE temporarily and comment out references to it to build the desktop package, which is not optimal. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Rather than commenting it out, you could define a compiler parmeter:
[code]
-define=CONFIG::includeAndroidANE,true
[/code]
Then, in your code, wrap any references to the problem code in the config statement
[code]
CONFIG::includeAndroidANE
import the.problem.package.ProblemExtensionClass;
[/code]
And:
[code]
CONFIG::includeAndroidANE
   if(ProblemExtensionClass.isSupported()) {
        var v:ProblemExtensionClass = new ProblemExtensionClass();
         v.init();
         v.doSomethingThatIsntSupportedOnAMac();
[/code]
Then, when you compile for Mac, you just need to set CONFIG::includeAndroidANE,false;
This is what OSMF does to support different versions of the player, and also what SWIZ do to support different versions of Flex.
All good.

Is there any way the Creative Cloud desktop app can indicate which Market items have already been downloaded?

Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a general issue with the Creative Cloud desktop app, or something is going wrong with my installation, but I receive seem to receive no indication that I have already downloaded an item when I open CC --> Assets --> Market. Looking in my Libraries, I now find some items I've downloaded up to 4 times. Is there some indication I am missing? Is my installation of CC desktop messed up? Or should I suggest that there should be some indication of whether an item has been downloaded or not on that Market page in the app? Even when I go specifically to downloaded items, none of those items has the cloud with the arrow icon grayed out. The only time that icon grays out is when I download the item and keep that page/window open to download other items. As soon as that page/window is closed, the next time I open it, all icons are no longer grayed out, so I no longer have a clue as to what I downloaded unless I open my libraries in my browser. Seems a bit primitive.

Hi Elba, Thank you for your time and effort in researching this. Unfortunately, the above method you describe is more than a little awkward. When one shows the Downloaded window, as you illustrate, that greys out all the individual categories. So, if I were looking for brushes, I'd have to check if I already had it by going to the downloaded window, then navigate back to brushes by first going to Featured or Recent, and then to Brushes, (even All Categories is not clickable, though it looks active). I'd also need to have a very, very good memory, or be going back and forth very often, with how close some brushes appear, and how similar their names are.
Instead, in a browser window, I go to my library from my adobe.com page, so I can see what brushes I have while the window where I can download brushes is open:
However, this still seems awkward to me. Adobe could grey out the icons to indicate they had already been downloaded, while still allowing them to be clickable and downloadable. I guess more code would be needed. I see examples of this every day in both Apple's app store, and Google's play store. For that matter, even the Adobe CC desktop app itself informs me of what Desktop Apps I have installed on each computer, and even whether they need to be updated. I guess, though, the situation for all of those is a bit different, not being quite so cloud-based.

Hi,
with WinClone being discontinued (although still findable at MacUpdate for example) your only choices would be the commercial iPartition or Drive Genius or CampTune.

Just my 2 cents regarding your comment on the price for Leopard... Apple has customarily charged about $130 for their OS... about $200 for the family pack which can be installed on up to five machines. In comparison, here is Microsoft's pricing for Vista. I'm using the full price instead of the upgrade price because, Apple's price is for a full version of their OS... they don't have different prices for upgrades vs. full versions (and, apart from OS X Server, they don't have different versions with more or less features depending on how much you can afford... you get the whole package with OS X):
* Windows Vista Home Basic: $199
* Windows Vista Home Premium: $239
* Windows Vista Business: $299
* Windows Vista Ultimate: $399
With that in mind... OS X is actually an insane value.

Adjusting a URL and reloading causes it to go to Google - any way to just let it reload the page?

I was testing some calls to a Solr index with different URL query parameters. But each time I adjust a parameter and reload the page, instead of making the call again I'm dropped into Google search.
However, if I (tediously) manually edit the URL to specifically add back in "http://" at the beginning of the line I can reload the page.
This doesn't happen in Safari or Chrome. It seems to be a problem unique to FireFox.
It makes testing cumbersome and I was wondering if there was a solution for this.
Thanks,
doug

Could you describe how you are making the calls? For example, are you setting window.location.href, using window.open(), etc.? Submitting a form?
One reason for getting a search could be a space in the URL. Is there any way to avoid spaces in the URL, or can you confirm that they are being properly encoded to %20?

Is there any way to have the page title NOT be the name of the HTML file

You might want a page title to be say "Digital Media Academy." You don't however really want the html file to be called "Digital%20Media%20Academy.html" Windows web browsers often have problem opening pages with spaces in the file name. On the other hand you don't really want the page title to be "DigitalMediaAcademy" because that looks kind of dumb. Any way around this.

The page is already not included in the nav bar, but
where do you set the page name to be different from
the file name? How can I set the name of the page,
such as the name of this page is "Apple - Support -
Discussions - Post Message:Reply," to be different
from the file name?
I think I probably misunderstood your question. You want the html "title," which appears at the top of a browser, to be independent of the name of the html file, right? I don't think that is possible in this version without manually editing the html after publishing. iWeb uses the page name given in the inspector for both the navigation bar link and the file name, replacing spaces by %20 in the latter because web servers don't allow spaces in file names.

Import photos without copying? I Have thousands of photos on a hard drive separate from my mac and i dont have enough space on my mac to copy them to. Any way to import without copying to the local hard drive?

Import photos without copying? I Have thousands of photos on a hard drive separate from my mac and i dont have enough space on my mac to copy them to. Any way to import without copying to the local hard drive?

Yes, but you might want to think carefully about it.
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
This is an attractive option for some users at face value, but it contains a significant number of issues that you might want to consider before making the decision to run a Referenced Library
How to do it:
iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck the box at 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library'
Now when you import iPhoto makes an alias in the Library Package that points to the stored file. Note: iPhoto still creates a thumbnail of the image and it makes a Preview of edited photos inside the Library Package.
Issues?
1. You are responsible for file management. That's more work:
You must first move the files from your camera to the storage location before importing.
If you want to delete files then you must first trash them from iPhoto and then afterwards find them in your storage and trash them.
Thereafter, you cannot move the files on early versions of iPhoto at all, on iPhoto 08 and later you may move them on the same Volume or Disk. If you move them to a new volume or disk the aliases my break. If they are on an different volume and you move them the aliases will break.
You cannot rename the files.
Migrating: moving to a new machine, moving the files to another disk are all a lot more complex.
2. You gain no extra functionality from running a Referenced Library. Nothing. This is just storage. You still manage the files via iPhoto. You edit them with iPhoto or via iPhoto's External Editor setting, otherwise you're changes will not be available in iPhoto. You don't save byte of storage space.
3. If you have the Library on one volume and the photos on another you if anything changes in the path to a file (Like if you upgrade your machine, move the files on the NAS or on to another one?) then the alias will break, and you'll have to repair it manually. For every photo in the Library. One at a time.
Why do you want to run a Referenced Library?
Because my photos won't fit on my HD?
You can run a Managed library from an external disk. Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
You're worried about accessing the files?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Is there any way to easily delete "other" space on my iPad?

I keep having problems with "other" space on my iPad. My 64GB iPad is always running close to capacity, and often when I try to sync too much data, the sync fails and I end up left with some corrupt files that become the infamous "other" space you can see in iTunes.
Recently, I tried to clear up space on my iPad, and deleted all photos (including 2.7GB of photo stream).
I had about 5Gb of "other" space, so I figured it was time for a painful restore process that takes about 3-4 hours on my iPad.
Before doing the "restore", I did one last sync.
After the restore was done, the "other" space was gone, but at the same time I found that some of the clean ups I had done were lost. Photostream was still enabled and was still using up 2.7GB of space.
I disabled Photostream, and to my annoyance, the 2.7GB of space taken up by the photos disappeared, but it simply moved from the "Photos" category over to the "Other" category. Sigh!
I don't want to do another restore again, but I would really like to reclaim that 2.7GB of space.
Is there any way besides dong another restore? Rebooting didn't help.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
