Can't figure out where "up arrow" command on Mac for keyboard shortcuts.

You guys helped me fix the presets in LR, but now I have to go and do each image by hand. When I go to "photo" in the library module, then to "develop settings," and then to "reset," it shows a keyboard shortcut of an up arrow, the apple command and R. I have never figured out where that stupid arrow is on my MAC keyboard. I would appreciate your help with this one also. I have several thousand photos to get thru. Many thanks for your willingness to share your expertise!!!!

From there it reads from the file provided in the command line and creates "keys" from the specified length. From there I need to create a phrase of the specified length. If i am supposed to create more then one then i do. That is pretty much it. I can't figure out where (really why) the NullPointerException error is coming from.
Help is appreciated!!

Post the actual error text (copy and paste, don't "interpret" it) here.
It should include a stack trace which references a line number of the program -
unless you suppressed the trace, in which case change your error handling
so that the trace is produced.
Identify which program line in your post the error is pointing to so that we can match
the error with your program, since your post doesn't have line numbers..

Thanks. I'm working with different hosts and I guess thats where the confusion for me is coming in. In bluehost, I simply submit my form through form action to http://www.bluehost/bluemail. With the php form construction it 's form action is contact.php. Does this mean that the server I'm working with will uinderstand how to process contact.php and where to send it based on paramaters previously submitted? Or do I instruct the server via the php form? Thanks again

The reason why this is done in php is because php is server-side scripting. It's telling your server to do stuff. HTML doesn't tell your server anything, it tells the client (the web browser loading it) to do things. Only your server can send an email.

Thanks,

The space is there as a result of the default margin/padding on the .mainbody paragraph tag.
You can either set the margin and padding to zero on the css:
.mainbody {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
margin: 0
However if you have that class applied somewhere else on the page you may want to set some inline css to specifically deal with the issue:

Can't figure out why F4 produces Command-C

I've got a Mac Pro with a Matias keyboard running Snow Leopard. It all works well but I recently decided to figure out why my F4 key doesn't work properly in the few applications that would use it. My keyboard doesn't have a fn key and my function keys don't do hardware controls like volume and brightness by default. The only key I'm having a problem with is F4. What I've found is that F4 always generates a Command-C (Copy) no matter what program is active.
I tried mapping it with Butler but even Butler tells me I pressed Command-C and not F4.
I tried shutting down Butler since it's the only key-mapping tool I have running.
I looked through all the keyboard shortcuts in the keyboard preference pane and nothing is mapped to F4.
I thought perhaps my keyboard was doing something funky so I plugged in two other keyboards including a recent Apple flat style keyboard and they both produce Command-C too. It must be something in my system but I can't figure it out.
Anyone have any ideas how I can figure out why F4 is producing Command-C?

Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

Datasheet pasting - how can I figure out where the errors are?

For example, I am trying to paste a fairly large chunk of data into the Datashet view to use in a list. (about 30 columns by 9000 rows, so 270,000 cells.) When I try to page, it tells me that about 800 could not be pasted, but does not tell me WHICH
cells, or even which COLUMNS. I am sure that if I could just figure out which cells were not being pasted, I could easily figure out WHY there is an error. Can anybody give me any useful tips to help me pinpoint which columns/cells are having
the problem? Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that to paste 270,000 cells data into the Datashet view to use in a list.
Please make sure the view have sufficient columns, otherwise the paste operation will fail.
A paste operation will also fail in the following situations:
Some or all of the destination cells are read-only
Pasting the contents into the selected cells will make them fail the validation rules
Attempting to paste data that does not match the data type of the destination cells
Attempting to paste data into a calculated column

My mini iPad won't sync to laptop. Says needs update, but can't figure out where to update it.

My mini iPad won't sync to my laptop, also a Mac. When I plug it in it says it needs to be updated, but I can't figure it out.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help post back with more specifics on what is happening. Describe any error messages you get.

Can't figure out how to get the patches off of keyboard into logic

I have a pretty old school Yamaha Clavinova CVP-98, in which I have the midi in/out hooked up to my power mac g5 through an USB converter.
I am able to use the yamaha keyboard as a midi to play the software instruments in logic which is awesome, but I am unable to play the patches that I want from the keyboard into logic.
Any ideas would help, I would really appreciate it! Thank You!
(its logic pro 7 by the way, so I am not sure if there is a difference within logic's environment or what not, if that is what I even need to deal with)

To conclude, I am now aware of what midi is, and I am at the stage where I have edited my melody to perfection, yet I am unable to figure out what the next step is to transition this to an audio track. Please let me know what exactly I am to do from here because your input is creating a bigger difference than what you may think from such simple questions. Thank you.
Ok, MIDI is not audio, MIDI is data that "triggers" a synthesizer to produce audio output. Audio is simply what you hear when listening to a CD, DVD, anything out of a speaker, a singer, a band..etc, nature/the universe.
(The "synthesizer" can be hardware like the Clavinova or software like Logic's built in synths, the advantage of software synths is that they do not need to be recorded as audio, their output is already audio within Logic)
Ok, how do you record audio using the Mac. Personally I use an RME audio interface which is a PCI card in the Mac, I also have a 16 channel Presonus Firestudio that I use for portable/location recording. However... the G5 has an "OK" audio interface built in, it's not really professional quality but it will do. You will need to take the Line out of the Clavinova and go into the Mac's line in. You will need the proper audio cable. Not sure what the Clavinova line out is, probably a 1/4" jack, this is not the headphone jack but the jack used to normally plug into an amplifier.
Then with the Clavinova volume set at 50% adjust the Mac's input recording level in System Preferences/Sound.
Once recorded as a wave form, editing is limited (cut/paste...etc).
Also, be aware that MIDI takes up virtually no memory or disk space... stereo audio at CD quality 16-bit/44.1kHz takes approx 10 megabytes of hard disk per minute. Audio is recorded as a file on a hard disk. Most of us use a dedicated hard disk for multitrack audio projects.
I'm going to say this again...all of us that know this stuff put in our time reading the manuals... without reading the manual you are doing yourself, and us an injustice as no matter how much anyone explains to you..... you will only be able to use a few percent of Logic's capabilities.
We all put our dues in, out of respect for this amazing software take some time and read the manuals.

Here's what I got:
Intel i7 870 2.93Ghz (4 real cores + 4HT)
16GB of DDR3 1600MHz
Nvidia GT 430 (1GB, 96 CUDA Cores, 700MHz)
Windows 7 64bit.
So, I've configured AE CS6 according to this tutorial: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/digital-video-cs6/how-to-optimize-after-effects-cs6-for-high-per formance/?go=
I've enabled Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously, set CUPs reserved to other Applications to 4 (giving 4 real CPUs to AE) with 3GB of RAM Allocation per CPU (for a total of 12GB) leaving a healthy 4GB of RAM for other applications.
The system disk is a 64Gb SSD and I've got another similar one set up as the scratch.
GPU rendering is enabled and so is harware accelerated Fast Previews.
I've got a single FullHD composition (from pre-processed defished TIF stills) and I'm running 3 filters in the following order:
a) - Warp Stabilizer (Synthesize Edges, just 0.2s for Synthesis Input Range and 25pixels Feather)
b) - Color Finesse (just a shadow boost through curves)
c) - Noise reduction (3 passes IIRC, 60% opacity)
I'm rendering to uncompressed.
From enabling/disabling those effects, I'd say a) takes 40% of the time, b) less than 10% and c) over 50%.
Each video frame takes about 9s to process.
I'm not running "anything else" and the issue I'm facing is that CPU frequency only oscilates between 1200MHz minimum and 1600MHz maximum as if AE wasn't pushing the CPUs.
4 CPU's are being used at ~60% each, with the virtual cores parked as expected, as can be seen from the attached capture. The source footage is on a regular 1.5TB disk but disk usage is dismall 1.2MB read and 600K writes...
GPU usage is also NULL.
Shouldn't the CPUs be at 100% and full clock? I could understand if it's not in the nature of Warp Stabilizer to be parallel friendly but those regular spikes on CPU 2 (which are consistent with 9s per frame) show that neither Noise Reduction is taxing the CPU...
What gives?
Thanks in advance.

(edit) This disk where the footage lies easily breaks 50MB/s so it can't be the culprit and I've tried a small compression job on VirtualDub that easily sends the CPU flying to full speed.

There are two things going on here. Some filters take better advantage of your system's power than others. Some are not MP friendly, some are. Until the developers have the time (and it takes a bunch of time) and the resources (it costs a bunch of money) to make every program call completely aware of an unlimited variety of plug-ins, system configurations, and background processes so each read/calculate/write process uses 100% of every possible data path, you'll never get an app as complex as AE 100% efficient.
The second thing going on here is that the system can process data faster than the data can be move on and off a drive. Grab frame info, process it, be done with it, then write it and grab it again before you can grab another frame. When the process requires this kind of analysis the bottle neck is the data transfer rate on and off a drive or in and out of memory. That's the linear progression that Mylenium is talking about. Temporal effects do this kind of processing. Things have to wait for read, calculate, write cycles. We'll just have to wait until developers have the resources to change that. AE gets better at doing most things with each new build. Sometimes bugs pop up, sometimes things that shouldn't slip past QA/QC do, but I clearly remember when just rendering a simple key took 20 or 30 seconds a frame.
BTW, Virtual dub can run your CPU's to 100% easily because it's just doing a single set of calculations.

HELP!Can't figure out where the extra memory is coming from!

I deleted everything off my ipod except the games so I could have a lot of memory for music and my pictures and as you know the this 2nd generation ipod nano has 892.5MB well I've only used 476.3MB for music 442.4MB photo's 33.9MB can't understand where the 245.2MB for the other is coming from unless its the games if so how do I get the games off I don't play them I just listen to the music and show my pics to family & friends I want enough memory left to put audio books on there tho.Can anyone tell me how to delete the games?

The games that come pre-installed on the iPod can't be deleted.
The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or album artwork. Or sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.
There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but if it's more than that it often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt.
If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer or Finder and delete anything you don't want.
If it's a corruption it will probably need to be restored, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.
Then reload the music from iTunes.

Can't figure out where "up arrow" command on Mac for keyboard shortcuts.
