Can we have the Curser Focus change automatically?

I have an iMac.
The software I use are common software like Page, for a word processor, and Numbers, for a spread sheet.
In Numbers, when I hover over a cell, the cursor changes to allow me to select the cell. When I hover over a text box the cursor changes to a selection tool allowing me to reshape or move the box. At this point if I single tap, the cursor changes to a text tool, at a double tap, I get the entire word selected. The cursor unselects quickly. And the box remains in the poison where it was located after the text edit in the box.
In Muse I find that I can get the cursor to change but it requires many taps, and I have to select from the top menu. Sometimes the selection tool does not un select the text box which causes it to move. When the text tool is selected, because it does not unselect, as I move the cursor over the screen, the text tool is selecting all text below the cursor. Not fun.
This cause me to constantly use cmd+Z to undo the move. If the selection tool unattached itself quicker, and the text box was a little more "sticky" that would save a ton of work and re-work.
Here is an example scenario; When hovering over a target, change to the target tool, one tap, change to the selection tool, and another tap, if a text box is there, change to a text tool. All of these thing without anything under the moving accidentally.

I've got a MacBook Air open and connected to a 27" external screen (dual dvi via lightning port).  The keyboard on the Air is my main keyboard.  When I accidentally hit the power button the following happens:
Both screens immediately go black.
Exernal screen reactivates.
I can move my cursor for about 2 seconds, maybe Cmd+Tab.
Everything freezes up.  At this point, the MacBook Air keyboard is still lit and the Apple logo on the back of the Air is still lit. Keyboard and mouse input don't do anything.
Closing the Air, or disconnecting all devices from the Air and waiting don't seem to do anything.
Only solution is a hard reboot (holding down power for 5 seconds).
All of that for missing the Delete key by about 3mm.

    The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.
    To change your login password read OS X Mavericks: Reset a login password

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

    You need to fix capitalization in Pages Preferences > Auto-Correction. When you select this option, you can just keep typing in lower case and the first letter of the next sentence will automatically promote to upper case.

  • Hello, I have an ipod touch 2g and I can not download the application or change the version. made for me a solution please. and thank you

    Hello, I have an ipod touch 2g and I can not download the application or change the version. made for me a solution please. and thank you

    The hardware on the 2G does not support an iOS version higher than 4.2.1. If you want apps that require a higher version you will need to get a newer model iPod.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

    Hello, all.
    In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

    Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
    Type in the name of the track.
    Click the album of interest to show tracks.
    Select the track.
    Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
    Double click the track you want to start playing first.

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

  • How can I have the side bar in iTunes 12??

    I just installed iTunes 12 that was claimed to provide "a more pleasant interface for navigation"!?!?
    Personally, I do not find the new view format pleasant at all. I expected to be allowed to go back to the lateral bar visualization, finding it as a view option. It was quite upsetting finding out that the option disappeared from the menue. Did you have the brilliant idea to remove it, or did you simply hide it somewhere else? (I am definitely too old to play "hide and seek" with visualization options and I really do not have the time either)
    Probably, kids like big figures that do not require any reading skill, unfortunately I do not.
    I conclusion, how can I have the side bar visible again in iTunes 12???
    Thank you
    P.S. Playlists is similar to lateral bar, but not the same, as it is not ONE allowing to navigate music, movies, podacast, but one for each.

    The functionality of the sidebar has changed indeed. But what's the problem? Category's of the library have been separated from playlists and moved to one of the top bars. I think it's an improvement for people using iTunes as a media-management tool. In the old version the playlists were at the bottom of the sidebar and if you had all options activated you had to scroll down to find your playlists.
    You don't have to do that anymore. Your music library is now aside with the playlists. If you want to activate another categorie you can use the icons in the topbar and still keep the overview on your playlists.
    People who use iTunes for syncing iDevices seem less happy with this new presentation. It seems a minor adjustment to me, but others seems to think otherwise.

  • Can't have the word subtitutio​n feature without running the auto-corre​ction

    hi everybody,
    a week ago i change my bb style to z10 , and notice that I can't have word subtitution without set the auto-correction on. i don't live in a country where english is primary language, so i find this very annoying, because autotext is one of my favourite feature from my previous blackberry. I can't have the auto-correction on because it always changes what i type into something VERY different...
    another problem is ringtone notification of bbm message is the same as bbm group, so it's a little bit annoying having your blackberry rings all the time because of chat in group and i have 2 active groups right now.
    the third annoying thing is the numeric keypad, it always turns back to alphabet keypad everytime i hit space. it takes too long just to type 2 * 5 = 10 + 10 = 20 (for example). i wonder what i should do to keep staying in numeric mode.
    i wonder if there's already solutions to my problem, maybe an app or update.
    Other than those problems, i think z10 is a very good blackberry phone.

    As far as I know, "Unlearn Spelling" which is available under 10.4.11 (in every applications), is unavailable under Leopard (in every applications).
    Right-click or control-click on a bad word, and you will get the unlearn option. Example:
    Type "helllo". Go to the spelling dialogue and add the word to the dictionary.
    Close the spelling dialogue.
    Right-click or control click on the word "helllo" in a document, and you should see the unlearn option.

    With TLF 571 checked in we can now revert the MXML 2009 changes for how the id language attribute is processed.
    An unqualified id property will no longer be seen as a setter for a normal public, writable, non-static "id" property - which matches Flex 3 behavior.
    As in earlier versions of Flex, the mechanism to retain MXML id attribute information at runtime is to implement mx.core.IMXMLObject. The compiler will generate a call to the intialized() method and pass in the id information.
    Note: One exception to this rule seems to be UIComponent which instead get id attribute information via mx.core.IDeferredInstantiationUIComponent (although there seems to be a TODO in the codebase to remove this mechanism and thus should not be relied on by third parties).
    QE notes: Please add tests for the TLF id property on flow elements (div, span, p, etc).
    Doc notes: Please check that we have not documented
