Can you customize report "page" tabs so they are named automatically from data in the file, and can you add "pages" dynamically?

I am looking to develop a dynamic report template for our internal reporting use. Namely, I am looking for the ability to do two things:
1) Update the names of the tabs at the bottom of the report template (lets call them the "pages" of the report) from data stored within the file (for instance, label a tab with the "description" property from a given group or channel)
2) Add additional tabs with associated graphs based on the number of groups a particular file has (for instance, a particular component could have a test life of 2000 hrs, but have been put through several different tests along the way. It would be nice to show an overall life summary on the first tab, and then break out the data from the individual tests on seperate tabs with labels specific to that test, such as test #, etc.)
Any ideas on how this may (or may not) be done?

Hi SethRow187,
Let's take this one step at a time, starting with the one REPORT sheet per Data Portal Group request. This is something that I do all the time, and I have developed lots of standard functions that I can re-use quickly and easily. DIAdem has the basic functions which enable this, but it takes quite a few commands to get this to work the way you and I want with absolute control.
In the "Group Sheets General" example I'm attaching below, the same REPORT layout TDR file is loaded once for each Data Portal Group, and then subsequently altered programmatically so that all the Group references in the REPORT objects (graphs, tables, text boxes) are replaced with references to the current Group. This results in N REPORT sheets where each sheet has explicit references to a particular Group.
In the "Group Sheets Simple" example I'm attaching below, again the same REPORT layout TDR file is loaded once for each Data Portal Group, but in this case no further change is made to each REPORT sheet after it is loaded. This results in N REPORT sheets which are absolutely identical in content to each other and which all reference the default Group. They appear different when refreshed because in each sheet, under its "Settings>>Layout Setup>>Worksheet Parameters" dialog there is a command configured to run each time the sheet is refreshed-- this command uses the current REPORT sheet index to set the corresponding Group to be the default Group.
In both cases the name of the Group is used for the REPORT sheet, which is convenient in that both Group names and REPORT sheet names are required to be unique, but you could use the Group description or any other property instead as long as you ensure that it has not already been used to name a previous REPORT sheet.
I also have scripts to concatenate the contents of N Groups into a new Group, located at the top of the Data Portal, and this combined with the below attached applications would give you the lead off overview REPORT sheet you mentioned.

HT2250 I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.

Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

The new ios7 update I can't size my wallpapers anymore. They are all way too big for the screen. Before I would just pinch to size it however I wanted and now it won't do this anymore. Really ***** because now you can't see the wallpapers fully.

Before the ios7 update we uses to be able to size our wallpapers backgrounds we choose to be the size we desire to fit our screen. Now we can't do this. Why? Is it something they left out for some reason or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Yes you can delete those temporary files as long as you've saved any changes you've made back to the main document. So I'd open the document with the same name without the ~ and hidden file attribute and make sure it's the way you want it. Then you can delete the temporary file.
The key command you want to enlarge text in internet explorer holding down command and hitting the =/+ key. Conversely the command and - key makes text in internet explorer smaller.

I would like to know how to change the color scheme of my tabs. They are dark grey with a lighter grey print and are hard to read. How do I make them different colors?

When I open Firefox, the tabs for the homepages are dark grey and the print is a lighter grey but they are hard to read. How can I change the color of these tabs and fonts?

This is a customer to customer forum, so this is not the place.

My 5 year old iMac's hard drive is at the point of failing. I'm trying to save al files on it, but it wont allow backup via Time Machine to an external hard drive. How can I keep from losing all the files and programs if the hard drive fails?

I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.

Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive. Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box. DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key. That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives. Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

Depends on why it's ineligible. If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version. (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".) Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match. Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

Don't know if there is an option make the download window stay up, but you can bring it back with Ctrl+J then right-click on the download to open the folder it was downloaded to.

When you are dealing with websites, image file size is a trade off between quality and download speed. There's not a lot of point to having high quality images if they take too long to download in the browser.
Nowadays we also have to consider the device that the end user is viewing the images on. An image that is optimized for viewing on a large screen is total overkill and unsuitable for those using mobile devices.
Really we should be supplying different versions of media files for different devices using @media rules in the stylesheet but this is rather outside of the scope of iWeb. If you use the built in image optimizer and the iWeb Photo template with slideshow, the application will optimize the images according to the way in which you set this function in preferences and the slideshow size will be automatically reduced for those viewing it on smaller screens.
If you want to give your viewers the opportunity to view large, high quality images, you can supply them as a download.

Amazon say they are waiting for Mozilla to work on Kindle Fire HDX, you say you are waiting on them: can you work together?

This is part of a response I received from the Amazon team:
..."From your e-mail I understand that you would like to know when you would be able to use Firefox on your Kindle Fire HDX.
I have investigated the matter and can confirm that the Mozilla are yet to support Kindle Fire devices and have therefore not yet made a compatible version of their Firefox Browser available in our Amazon Appstore catalog. We continue to send customer feedback to Mozilla so they may consider making this app available in the future, however at this time, we are unable to verify their plans. Our apologies for any disappointment this may cause."
Can you talk to each other and get it sorted, please?

I really wonder how much in the loop that person is on this situation to have responded this way.
Mozilla did have Firefox (as of version 9.0) on Amazon store but Amazon modified and resigned the apk which caused problems so it was pulled shortly after.
Mozilla has contacted Amazon many times about modifying this policy. So far they have been unwilling.
Please do not comment on these bugs as they are for reading on history and progress.

HT203167 Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or on my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this?

Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.

If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc).

Can you customize report "page" tabs so they are named automatically from data in the file, and can you add "pages" dynamically?
