Can't find option to unlock brightness button lock on Cinema Displays

Greetings
Mac OS X 10.5.4
Mac Pro running two Cinema Displays, a 20" and a 30".
The 20" brightness buttons work.
The 30" brightness buttons are locked out.
Go to System Prefs>Displays> and I don't see anywhere to unlock the brightness buttons.
Sorry if stupid question -
where is the unlock?
Thanks
GFB

OK, called Apple and solved problem:
In order to have control over the monitor, the USB cable must be connected!
Learn something new everyday!
I was not using the USB slots on the back of the monitors, so I has never connected the USB cables on the monitor snake to the computer.

Disable power and brightness buttons on Apple Cinema Displays in a lab?

We have a combination of new-model (DVI/silver) 20" Apple Cinema Displays as well as old-model (ADC/plastic) 20" Apple Cinema Displays in our computer labs. All of our computers are running Mac OS X 10.4.10.
I would like to disable the power and brightness buttons on these displays. I know I can do this manually by logging into each computer as an administrator, selecting System Preferences > Displays > Options, and checking the appropriate boxes, but obviously I'd like a leaner, meaner solution.
By the way, the option did not propogate via imaging, so it makes me think this is not a preference that's written to a .plist file somewhere. (I looked and looked and couldn't find a key in any preference file where these settings are stored...)
Does anyone know of a Unix terminal command or an Applescript command that I could send to all of my lab computers via Apple Remote Desktop to accomplish this?

We don't own these displays anymore. I ended up setting each workstation individually.

Where can I find a replacement box/packaging for my 23" Cinema Display?

Hello all,
I'm a freelancer and I travel quite a bit with my Powerbook. I often have to ship my 23" Cinema Display to various states. I had a pipe burst in my basement completely ruining the box a few days ago. I've contacted Apple and no one I talked to was able to direct me to someone who could help. I'm going to try the Apple Store in my area. I'm very uncomfortable shipping the unit in any other packaging. Is there some place on-line where I could buy a new box? Any help given would be greatly appreciated!

You could ask the Apple store to let you have (or buy) one of the boxes they use to send the displays in for repair. They should have these on hand.

I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

There are two possible drivers, HP Deskjet 5550 (HPA) (HP) and HP Deskjet 5550 (HPA) (Microsoft). Either of these should work, I think the HP one is a bit newer. What is the nature of "not working"? You could also use the HP Deskjet 990 driver.
The HP Windows 7 Printer Install Wizard at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help automatically install the proper driver.

I can't find the set up sync button

I know this is stupid but I can't find the set up sync button. I want to transfer the bookmarks from my old PC and have read how to do it but when I click on the orange Firefox button top left of my screen the only option appears to be sync now. Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks Joe

If you see sync now then this means that Sync is already installed on that computer and working.

Did you create a new sync account or used the previously used email and password and sync key?
Note that sync isn't supposed to be used as a means of transferring data from one computer to another, so you need to be careful with not overwriting data stored on the Sync server.
Check the Sync options when you have used Sync before and want to keep previously stored data on the Sync server.
* click the "Sync Options" button at the bottom to select what to sync (Sync Options only affect the first sync)
Select this choice if you want to restore data from the Sync server:
* "Replace all data on this device with my Sync data"
You can also copy files to an USB stick to transfer them to another computer.

Mel, Sure, although that is "copying," not "burning." It is easily done, as follows:
Insert the USB stick into your computer, and open it up so it looks like a folder. Highlight the songs you want in iTunes, and drag them into the folder.
If you normally run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

I can't find the List All Tabs button that's supposed to be at the top to yourright

I'm trying to install the Tab Groups that you recommended. But I simply can't find the List All Tabs button that was supposed to be at the top right. it just says open all bookmarks. I've read through all the instructions and I can't find the button, so I can't continue. Is there a Tab Groups apps that I need to download first?? I've tried searching for that too, but there seems to be none. Please get back to me :) -Christine

On the tabs toolbar the '''List all tabs drop-down is almost invisible''' especially if you have "Tabs on Top" until you pass the cursor over it -- even with the cursor on top of it it is still hard to see.
The '''List All Tabs button''' is just a drop-drop down arrow when all the tabs bar, if you don't see it -- look in Customize (View>Toolbars>Customize), and drag the "List All Tabs" button up to the right hand end of the tabs bar.
You can put Tabs back to being just above the web page content at the bottom of the toolbars with View > Toolbars > (uncheck) Tabs on Top and the button will show up better on a lighter background.
You can use a Style to make the button more visible with a larger drop-down arrow and a background color.
If you don't already have the "Stylish" Extension (258.0 KB), first install it. The extension is quite large, but the styles you install are very small, most consist of only a few lines of styling code.

Where can i find simple flash play/stop button tutorial

Can anyone help me where can i find simple flash play/stop
button tutorial. All i need to import a icon play/stop button, when
click it load wav file.
How can i attach media.fla
when u click btn
on(release) {
CodePlayer.start();
on(release) {
CodePlayer.stop();
action script
CodePlayer = new Sound();
CodePlayer.loadSound("ContactUs.wav",true);

OK your sorta close. the .wav file "ContactUs.wav" couldn't
be too large a file, and you can't use 'loadSound' with a .wav, it
would need to be an mp3 file and you also have it set to be a
streaming file, which I would image is not necessary.
So under File>>import select the wav file and add it to
the Library. Select it, right click, and select 'linkage'. Enter a
name for the identifier like 'contact_id' and hit OK. Now go back
to your code on frame one, main timeline and change the code you
have to:
var CodePlayer:Sound = new Sound();
CodePlayer.attachSound("contact_id");
Now in your button handlers change to:
on(release) {
_parent.CodePlayer.start();
on(release) {
_parent.CodePlayer.stop();
}

Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
How about this one?
922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more! My parts drawer is always full of them. They like to knot up by themselves as well! Maybe that's how they breed.

Where can I purchase a Logic Board for a 24" Apple Cinema Display?

My 24" Cinema Display started to flicker and black out shortly after I purchased my most recent MacBook Pro. Apple felt that the issue was the MacBook Pro so they replaced it. The problem continued so they suggested I take the Cinema Display to the Genius Bar. The display was out of warranty and the Apple Genius felt the issue was a bad display even after I told him I smelt silicon burning just before it went out completely. He said that he could "depot" the unit and have it repaired for ~$600. Due to the high cost of repair, I chose to purchase a new Thunderbolt Display instead. Recently, I opened the old Cinema Display and found that the Logic Board is fried. I have ordered a new board from 2 different Web retailers. Both accepted the purchase as "in stock" but then stated they could not get the board from Apple. Where can I purchase the Logic Board for a 24" Apple Cinema Display?
Many thanks!

I was very interested to read this document. I think there is a problem with the Cinema Display and that it is frying the computer.
My husband bought each of us a macbook pro. His was hooked up to the cinema display. After about a year, his MBP started to suffer intermittent failures where it would suddenly shut off and have to be hard rebooted. After 2 years, the power or logic board on his MBP completely failed. He bought a new MBP and a Thunderbolt display, and I inherited his Cinema Display for use with my original MBP.
After one month of use with the cinema display, my MBP started to have the same problems. It has to be hard rebooted almost every time I disconnect or reconnect with the cinema display. I went to the Genius bar, and they confirmed that my MBP logic board needs to be replaced; I'm just holding out until spring break to take it back in, as they say it may take a week. Fortunately, I have AppleCare for my MBP.
Our cinema display is 3-4 years old, but it looks like, even though it appears to be working, I should probably get rid of it. I can't keep frying computers!
I'm posting this because I'm wondering how many others are experiencing this problem.

Can't find option box!!?

I was going to export a finished video by going to "Export" --> "With Quicktime Conversion" it brought up the save dialog box and I clicked on "Options" at this point, my wife asks me a question and I use expose to look something up online. Afterwards, I go back to FCP and I can't get to the options box. The Save diolog box has "cancel" and "save" buttons, but they are unresponsive (but don't make the "thunk" sound when I try clicking them). I can't move any window, I've tried using other monitors and resolutions, but I cannot find the box or close the save/export dialog boxes. I hadn't saved for about 2 hours (I know, I know) before trying to export, and I really don't want to lose the work. Please help!

Ok, I figured out the command-drag option to move windows without making them active. I moved all the windows on the desktop and can't find an options box. Perhaps it's just not there. In any case, the cancel or save buttons on in the "save" dialog box are not working. What could be causing this?
