Automatically copy format to new slide
HI all,
I'm new with Keynote and I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, but I certainly can't seem to find it. I'm putting together a boring, bulleted presentation and have adjusted the master slide to the format I want. Changed font, size, bullet indentation, etc. However when I add a new slide, none of the format from the prior slide is copied to the new slide, it reverts to the original master slide format.
Is there any way to not have to redo the formating for each slide? I tried to save as a Theme, but that didn't seem to work.
Thanks for helping!
Steve
duplicate a master slide and rename
make changes to the slide as required
save as a new theme
when creating a new presentation, from the tool bar; select the new custom theme, then select the new custom master slide

Automatically copy formulas to new row
How do I automatically copy formulas from the previous row to a newly created row in Numbers? Some of the templates included with Numbers 09, such as the Checking Register do this. I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered, but I have been unable to find the answer.
Welcome to the club.
For sure, this question was asked and responded several times.
If every existing standard cells of a column contain the same formula, inserting a new row inserts automatically the same formula in the newly created cell of this column.

Hi
I am trying to copy one object from one lside to another slide in the same presentation. The only thing I get when pasting is a hyperink. Does anyone know how I can turn this off so that the image or the object is pasted as copied to the new slide?
Thanks a lotthere are some unexpected issues when copy and pasting.
As a workaround, use duplicate slide to get the same object in another slide, (select the slide in navigator and command D or right click > duplicate) -
Automatically create new slide after pasting large block of text?
Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to have Keynote automatically create new slides if I paste text that doesn't fit into a single slide? The biggest time waster I've encountered is the apparent requirement to break up large chunks of text manually.
If Keynote does not do this, any ideas as to an Applescript or something that could help?
Much appreciatedI usually try dragging from the bottom up in Web pages, it can be tricky getting at the part you want without the extraneous formatting, since that is concealed from you and web designers use many different methods for layout.
That's why pasting into a plain text document is a good idea to shake off the web formatting, otherwise you are groping around whatever Pages has interpreted the formatting to mean. Even browsers don't get this all right.
If the original was formatted as a table which won't fit one of the cells on a Pages page, it just pops and won't continue because Pages does not allow breaks in mid cell. If the cells are small enough to fit and you have pasted the table inline in the main text body of a WP file (between the margins) it will flow.

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?
Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?
Hi there
I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.

I need to format a new external drive, then need to copy old external to new external
I need to format a new external drive, then need to copy old external to new external
Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to erase the new drive. If the old external drive doesn't contain a bootable Mac OS X system or a Time Machine backup, you can just drag its contents to the new drive. If it does, use software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.

On My Wife's iPad 4, when she enters a note it is automatically copied to her Gmail email account. I can't get the settings right to do the same thing on my new iPad Air.
Any suggestions?Go into Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calenders then you need to click on your email and make sure you have the thing next to the word notes switch on.
Then they should sync over the iCloud
Hope this helps! -
Script for automatically copying DVDs/CDs to disk on insert?
I just started to copy about 500 Data-DVDs (and some CDs) to an external FAT32 USB-disk. I do that by dragging the mounted disk from the desktop to the drive while holding down the option-key.
Is there a way to automate that? Would be easier if the Mac started the copying whenever a new DVD/CD is mounted on the desktop. And ejecting the disk by itself would be nice too. That way I'd be sure to notice that another copy is done and could put in the next disk ...Udo Schmitz wrote:
Hi,
I want to copy DVDs/CDs to a harddisk as well. But to an external USB drive.
So, when "/dev/disk1" is my MacBooks internal optical drive, how do I address the external USB-HD?
Apple-Script doesn't want me to use the path: "/Volumes/FILME/" ...
You'll want to leave the superdrive path the same but change the duplicate to desktop part to your own external hd. I'm pretty sure you get it just making sure.
Applescript doesn't mind the path you chose just the UNIX style slash format oppose to mac colon delimintated. Try this
(/Volumes/FILME/...) as POSIX path
--or
:Volumes:FILME:... -
So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
Never had a problem with it.
I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
Never had a problem with it.
I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
Never had a problem.
1.
Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
iTunes Helper is used during startup.
Everything seems fine.
Any help?
2.
I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
They haven't been transfering over.
So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
I do not know why.
No idea how to fix it.
If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
Can anyone please help me with any of this?
I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
Thanks so much.hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,

Will ipod touch settings copy to a new iphone with cloud / same apple id?
My daughter has an ipod touch 4th generation. I had set the restrictions on her touch, but have since forgotten the password.
We are giving her an iphone 5c for the holidays and I'm wondering if she uses the same itunes/apple account for her phone as her touch, will the restrictions automatically copy from her ipod to her new iphone. I believe that we have only set up icloud to backup music and apps.
Part two, if I may... My daughter had purchased some in app features befpre I placed the restrictions on her ipod. When I placed the restrictions on, those additional features were not available to her any longer (she can still see them on her touch, but the icons are grayed out). I think the only way for me to get rid of that setting without the password is to restore to factory settings. Again, are those restriction settings saved anywhere else, like the cloud, or even the itunes backup that I use from my pc computer?
Thanks very much for your advice. Happy holidays to all.The same purchases will be available on the new iPhone using the same Apple iD.
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store then switch Music ON. -
How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)? I tried backup & restore without success. I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there. Only the text that I entered shows. I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.
UPDATE: By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored. When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer. Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location). No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact. I am appreciative that I just got lucky. The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help. If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product. Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed.
Bottom line: All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer. I hope my experience helps others. -
How can I create a new slide that starts where a complex animation on the previous slide ends?
I am creating a series of animations to illustrate a complex set of ideas, and I want to do it as a series of animations, to keep each slide from getting too complex. I would like to do this a stages, by creating a new slide that is a copy of where the previous slide ended. I'm hoping that some of you have done more with Keynote animations than I, and that you'll be able to give me a few suggestions. Thanks!!
Thanks, Gary. I should have mentioned that the previous slide moved and scaled several groups of objects. So, at the end of the slide's activity the groups of objects were in different positions and were of different sizes than they are when I return to the slide. So if I copy the opbject sn paste them onto the next slide, I still need to get them to the right place, and scale them. That's tricky, especially since text objects don't scale like graphic objects. Thanks for trying tohelp, though. I apprecaite your effort!

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.
If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
if ims is {} then return {}
if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
if i < 2 then return rest of ims
if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
set numitems to length of ims
if length of ims < 2 then return ims
set ims_shuffled to {}
set nextrest to ims
repeat until nextrest is {}
set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
set nextpick to item i of nextrest
set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
set numitems to numitems - 1
set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
end repeat
return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
local imageSel, shuffled, i
tell application "Aperture"
activate
set imageSel to (get selection)
set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
set fullscreen to true
if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
end repeat
set fullscreen to false
return shuffled
end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
tell library 1
if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
end if
end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
end repeat
Regards

Input/output errors on trying to format a new hard drive
I just installed a Western Digital 160 GB hard drive to replace the original 80 GB drive in my 1.67 Hi-res G4 PB. I can boot from an external FW hard drive that has a copy of the original made with SuperDuper - seems to run fine.
The new 160 GB drive shows up in System Profiler and in the Disk Utility list of drives on the left side of the window - which make me think that I did the hardware installation correctly as the drive can be seen by the system. Maybe this isn't so.
When I use Disk Utility to try to format the new hard drive I get "input/output errors" and can not proceed with the formatting.
The computer ran fine with the old 80 GB hard drive - no sign of any problems - I just need the space.
Has anyone had experience with this or thoughts on how to get to a resolution?Hi, I installed a 160GB HD WDC (WD1600BEVE-00UYT0) for the previous one didn't work anymore.
After a month it began to freeze and I had to reset the pb, After a few days (and a lot of resetting) I had to reset the PB and the PRAM. After some more days (and a lot of PB and PRAM resettings) I had to reset the PMU, the PRAM, and the PB. After some more days (and ALL the resettings) I had to open the pb, disconnect the HD, re-connect it, and it did work again fine.
ALAS... in two weeks I was through the same procedure again.
It's the second 160GB HD that works in the same identical way (I thought the first one was broken)
I've just disconnected and re-connected the HD.
Have you discovered a simpler way to make it work fine? (I'm a little distressed...) -
Artwork does not *automatically* copy to iPod classic
We have 3 ipods in our hosuehold, one classic photo, one 3rd generation photo, and a nano from the latest generation.
All are managed manually.
On the older 2, artwork does not automatically copy across from itunes to the ipod when songs are added. Instead, I have to select each song or album on the itunes library, manually copy the artwork, and then paste it into the iPod. while not crippling, it is certainly annoying.
The nano does not seem to have this problem.
ANybody else have this problem, and is there a way around it?
Of course I have "display artwork" enabled on all ipods, and the software is up to date, on all ipods and on the mac.I don't manually manage, so my apologies for not being really familiar with it. But my question is, have you noticed that the addition of artwork depends on if the artwork was there from the beginning or not?
In other words, I wonder if when put in a new CD, tracklisting is looked up, you import and artwork gets automatically added. You then drag and drop those tracks to your iPods. Does the artwork show up on the iPod or do you have to do a secondary addition of the artwork?
Versus, if you already had the songs on your iPod, then LATER added artwork to the tracks in itunes, I could see where unless you resynced the songs to the manually managed iPods, that the artwork wouldn't go onto the iPod automatically and would have to be manually added.
I mention this because your Nano is the newest one and I am wondering if the issue is that you have stuff on the older iPods from back before artwork was added to your library. You are now adding artwork, but the songs on the old iPods still have older versions without artwork. The Nano, being brand new, you are probably adding tracks that have since had artwork added and so it maybe seems like it is being automatically added to that iPod and not the others when maybe you just need to re-sync the same tracks to the others?
Again, just some random streams of thought and guessing.
Cheers,
Patrick
