Autofill without changing formatting?

Is it possible to use the autofill fill handle, or use another feature for the same effect, without changing the formatting (fill color, etc) of the cells you are filling? Can you lock the visual format of cells?

If there's a way, I haven't found it. Dragging the control fills the cell's contents and attributes (including any formatting).
I second Yvan's recommendation to Provide Numbers Feedback.

Trying to download a .tgz file without changing format

I need to download a file with a .tgz extension, and keep it in this format once it's on my Mac, so I can transfer it to somewhere else. But when I download it, my Mac changes it to a .tar file.
Is there a way to force it to download as a .tgz file, or is there a way to change it back from a .tar file to a .tgz file?

Hi Charlie,
what browser do you use? In Firefox and Seamonkey you can right-click the link and select "Save link target" from the pop-up menu.

How do I transfer edited NEF files from laptop to desktop without changing format or losing edits?

Hello,
While travelling last week I put approximately 3000 raw images on my MacBook Pro (Lightroom 4) and have edited many of them. I am now home and would like to copy everything onto my desktop computer Mac OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2) with Lightroom 4. I would like it to be excactly as it is on my laptop. I don't want to have to edit again, catagorize by star, etc. I would like it to be in Raw NEF format with my edits just like it is on my laptop - I just want it all on my desktop. Can someone tell me how to do this? I have a firewire and an external hard drive if needed. Thank you!

Use your backup copy of your computer.
Type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar. You will find instructions there.

Want to cut frames just out of mp4 source files (gopro) and save back to mp4 files without changing format ot stuff like this - how to? Thx

Hi,
get freaky - I only want to reduce unpopular film sequences out of some gopro mp4 files and save them back in the same format. Just mp4 to mp4? Has anyone a warm idea. Thank you.

If you want a H.264.mp4 1280 x 720 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second export as the match for your source video with those properties, then you use
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = Vimeo HD which will give you 1280 x 720 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second.
or
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 HD720p24 and the hit the Advanced Button/then Video Tab to customize the preset to MP4 HD720p29.97.
After you hit the Advanced Tab/and the Video Tab and put in your settings, the Advanced Export setting should look like
Note: Click on the Chain link in the box to the right of Frame Width and Frame Height so that you can type in your 1280 and 720.
Do not hit Match Source. Put the values in yourself.
One of the major factors that we need in all this is the bitrate value of the original. We want to make sure that the bitrate of original
and export as the same or with the bitrate of the export being higher than the original. More on that later.
Please let me know if you are following me in the details so far. If not, please do not hesitate to tell me where you need clarfication.
Thanks.

Create an mp4 from mov without changing the dimensions

I am working on a project in InDesign that needs to output to DPS.
I take screen capture movies which are saved in the default mov format. These movies are 700 px x 400 px. That can't change.
I need to convert the mov to an mp4 to add to ID for DPS.
I open Adobe Media Encoder but I am confused as to how to set the output controls.
I don't want to change the dimensions.
What setting will convert the mov to mp4 without changing the dimensions?

Does this help?

Thank you

Hi,
Sorry, I'm not sure I uderstand the problem.
Are you getting the date correctly, but you want to store it in a VARCHAR2 column? That's not a very good idea: dates belong in DATE columns, but if you ever want to convert a DATE into a string, use TO_CHAR:
TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( TRUNC ( DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE (2455532, 2455563+3)
            , 'J'
     , 'DD-MM-YYYY'
     )or equivalently:
TO_CHAR ( DATE '2010-12-01' + dbms_random.value (0, 34)
     , 'DD-MM-YYYY'
     )Since you're not displaying the hours, minutes or seconds, there's no point in using TRUNC just to set them to 00:00:00.

Changing font without changing size with paragraph stylesheet

I need to change the font of many paragraphs without affecting different text sizes within the paragraphs.
I have a huge document...45,000 phone listings/400 pages. Each business listing (as opposed to residential) has a unique text string after the phone number ( |||B ) which will eventually be deleted. I want to do a Find/Change on that text string and change the entire paragraph it's in to a different font without impacting the different font sizes within the paragraph. But when I try to set parameters for the stylesheet, I can't just change the font, I have to change the size also.
Using a character stylesheet won't work, as it would only change the font of the text string itself.
Is this impossible using style sheets? Can it be done with a script? I've never used InDesign scripts so I'd need detailed instructions if that's the answer. Or am I doomed to manually change the font on 3,100 paragraphs in my document?
Thanks to all you keeners out there for any help you can offer.

I'm a little confused.
Do you currently have paragraph styles defined? I would probably approach this by defining a paragraph style for the main listings. You can do that by selecting some type and holding the Alt (Opt) key while clicking the new style icon on the panel, or by selecting new style from the panel menu. That style should be what is applied to all the text to start.
Define a second style for the business listings. You can base this on the first style, and change only the font. You don't need to enter a new size unless you wish to do so. Any attributes you don't change in the new style definition will be preserved, and will change to match the base style if you edit it.
Do your find/change and in the change format dialog specify the new paragraph style, but leave the actual change field blank. This can be done a plain text search. You will need two passes, one to format the paragraphs, and one (with the change format field cleared) to remove the suffix.
A GREP expression would probably work, too, but my GREP is rudimentary and I can't seem to find an expression to find |||B -- my attempt was (.)|||B$ which I thought would find any character followed by |||B at the end of the paragraph, and I would replace with $1 to preserve the character before and delete the suffix at the same time as changing the format, but it's picking up all sorts of stuff in the middle of the paragraph, so I suspect the pipes have a special meaning.
Character styles should be used to change only things that are special and need to be different from the standard paragraph definition, not for formatting the entire paragraph.
Yes, I have paragraph styles defined. I used them, along with a bunch of other unique text strings, to create separate paragraphs of each type of info in each listing, and then style them. I then used the same search strings to remove the paragraph breaks (and the search strings) to put the listings back to together into a single paragraph (but you have to break the link to the style before you remove paragraph breaks or your text will reformat itself back to the style on the previous paragraph.
The main problem is that I neglected to make a special find/change on the address and phone number to make them bold. Now I have 48,000 paragraphs (listings) with nothing but that |||B search string at the end of each of the business listings. And it took me two full work days just to get to this point, so I really don't want to go back to square one at this point.
I know this is hard to describe and understand. I really appreciate your help though!!

Create an mp4 file from mov without changing dimensions

I am working on a project for InDesign that needs to output to DPS.
I take screen capture movies which are saved in the default mov format. These movies are 700 px x 400 px. That can't change.
I need to convert the mov to an mp4.
I open AME but I am confused as to how to set the output controls.
I don't want to change the dimensions.
What setting will convert the mov to mp4 without changing the dimensions?

MPEG4 is one of the formats that has relationships among various settings called constraints. More specifically, frame dimensions and frame rate are constrained by Profile and Level. Here are the steps to set the dimensions as desired:
Open the Export Settings dialog for a job
Set Format to MPEG4
Click the Video tab
Set Profile to Advanced Simple
Set Level to Level 5
To the right of Frame Width and Frame Height, click the chain link icon to decouple width and height
Set Width to 700
Set Height to 400
(optional) Change any other settings such as Frame Rate and Bitrate as desired.
(optional, but highly recommended for future convenience) click the Save Preset button to the right of the Preset control in the upper right corner [in CS5.5 and before, the button icon is a floppy disc; in CS6, it's an arrow pointing down toward a rectangle, which I presume represents a disc drive.] Enter a name for the custom preset in the dialog that pops up, then click OK.
Back in the Export Settings dialog, click OK (if you opened this dialog from AME) or Queue (if you started from PPRO).
The preset that you saved in Step 10 will be shown in the list of presets for MPEG4, so you can use it for future encoding jobs. If you have AME CS6, custom presets are also displayed in the section at the top of the new Preset Browser.

How can i add an already existing iphone to a different itunes account without changing anything on the actual phone...just updating it?

I have an iphone synced to my iTunes account. But I need to add another used/existing iphone to my account to update it. I do not want to sync my emails/contacts/apps, etc. from my computer/iTunes to this new iPhone. This 2nd iPhone already has existing apps and is in use.
Is there any way that I can do this without changing anything on the existing iPhone? All I need to do is update it to the iOS 5.0.1.
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the response! You have been helpful and quick!
It wasn't my phone, hence the reason we didn't want to share/take each other's content (apps, contacts, music, photos, etc.). But the owner's phone hadn't been able to update because of a computer crash/no access to a stable computer. So, I just wasn't sure if we could do an update without sharing content.
But you most definitely answered my question! So, thank you!

How to edit the cube with new fields without changing historical in BI 7.0

HI,
I have requirment that need to edit cube with new fields and without changing historical data on it.
Please some one can advise me abt the above scenario.
Note:I am using BI7.0

hi Krish,
In BI 7.0,
we cannot add a characteristic to an existing dimension if the data is not deleted from the cube.
It can go to a new dimension and that will not change the existing structure of the cube tables, but will just add to it (as another dim table). or use remodeling.

How can i purchase an app of japan store without change my itunes store? i have balance in my US ac so i cant change my stores, but the app i want to purchase in jp store is a free app.... i know apple dun allow balance spend in other countriesbutitisfree

How can i purchase an app of japan store without change my itunes store? i have balance in my US ac so i cant change my stores, but the app i want to purchase in jp store is a free app.... i know apple dun allow balance spend in other countries but it is a free app

You cannot use the Japanese iTunes Store unless are physically present there and have a Japanese payment method. This applies even for free apps; you cannot get them from the Japanese iTunes Store if you are in the US.
If you are in Japan, you can set up a new iTunes Store account just to get free apps. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
If you have moved to Japan and wish to change the country of your account permanently, you can contact the iTunes Store and ask them to clear your remaining balance. You will need to be able to provide a Japanese payment method, though.
Regards.

If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
{With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
Good luck!

How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?

How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?
As Apple has yet to upgrade iCalendar so I can check off my events as I complete them (no, I do not want to use a task list/reminder list), I want to be able to move my events to my "completed" events calendar as I complete them. The issue is that most of my events are repeating events, and it changes the entire series. How do I change only the event I clicked on using my iPhone?
Thanks

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

I have same Apple ID for iPhone iPad and my daughters iPod and iPad mini. Can I obtain another iCloud account for her without changing her Apple ID. She had a iCloud account on old iPod bit can't retrieve it.

Me and my daughter have same Apple ID for my iPhone iPad and her iPod and iPad mini. Is there any way to get an iCloud account for her devices without changing her Apple ID. She has an old iCloud account from older iPod but can't activate it or remember her old iCloud account.
Thanks

You have to use a different Apple ID to create a new iCloud account (each ID can only be used with a single account). You don't have to use the ID for anything else though, she can continue to use her current ID for other services such as iTunes, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
The only limitation is that each device can only create three iCloud accounts.

FaceTime: I have a iPad, iPhone, iMac all on the same apple Id/account. Without changing id/email address can I use FaceTime between any 2 of my devices? It works from iPad to iPhone but not the other way??? I would like talk/see my kids if am away

FaceTime: I have a iPad, iPhone, iMac all on the same apple Id/account. Without changing id/email address can I use FaceTime between any 2 of my devices? It works from iPad to iPhone but not the other way??? I would like talk/see my kids if am away.
Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.
