Change left-tabs to right-tabs without too much hassle?

I would like to change a bunch of tabs in a documented from left-justified tabs to right-justified tabs, in as few steps as possible. Any thoughts?

Yes-- let me start from scratch. Sorry. I should have started with this.
I have to lay out a financial chart. It might be easiest to use tables, but I am importing text from Excel and I've found that importing it as a text rather than a table is actually the easiest way to go. When I import my financial data and paste it as text into InDesign, I end up with something like this:
This is perfect, except for one thing. The middle column should align to the right. That is, the number $308,416 should line up under the number $1,230,595 in the correct right justification that you might expect to see in numbers and accounting.
If I don't want to use a table, what's my best approach?
Thanks.

I have a 27" iMac with a broken hard drive. Is there a way to convert the existing hardware into a display monitor without too much technical work?

I have a 27" iMac with a broken hard drive. Is there a way to convert the existing hardware into a display monitor without too much technical work?

You don't state what iMac it is or what you want to use it for an external display with so we cannot answer the question. But without a bootable drive, no you cannot. However you can get the internal HD replaced or you can connect an external HD and boot from it. Without some basics about the computer it's impossible question to answer. However you may find what need in Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The corner of my screen is creased. It didn't affected the images, but is creased. Do I have to change all the screen? Is it too much expensive?

The corner of my screen is creased is not a big thing and it didn't affected the images, but is creased.
Do I have to change all the screen even if it doesn't affect the images on the mac?
Is it too much expensive?
Thank you!

Switching MBPs - Can I swap SSDs without too much drama?

Hey Guys - ok, I know this is totally noobish, but I am switching from my existing MBP (2010) to another MBP. Question is, would I be able to just pull out my existing SSD from the one MBP and put it in the new one and not skip too much of a beat?
To add some color, I am switching from a MC847LL/A unit (i7 2.8Ghz, Nvidia GT330M, etc) to a new generation MBP (quad core i7, AMD Radeon GPU, etc). So, as I am a recent convert from the PC world, I know with the nuances with drivers and the like, it would be more beneficial to do a clean install, but didn't know if that is the case with Macs and MBPs.
Guidance and feedback is most welcome. Thanks for your support and patience with my questions.

Unless the to machines are identical hardware configuration no you should not simply switch SSDs as the build for each is slightly different. Some have had OK success doing this but most run into problems. IMHO the easiest way to do it is to Clone the SSD onto and external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, this creates a bootable clone. Then move the SSD into the new machine and reformat it using the Install Disc that came with the new machine. Then do an install of OS X from the Install Disc onto the SSD and finally use Setup Assistant to migrate from the external HD to the freshly formatted SSD. Here are instructions on Setup Assistant.

Multiple tabs need too much memory

When several tabs are opened, firebox uses 4-5x more memory than before, slows down everything immediately, making working with firefox a disaster.

Did you check your security software (firewall) to make sure that Firefox has full access?
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Graph legend width change - Left aligned or right aligned

Hello all,
when I place an XY-Graph with Plot-Legend shown in LV2012, the text of the plot name is left aligned, wich is, what I want. With this behaviour the little pictures, representing the plot attributes, are fixed. After migrating to LV2014 I realized, that the text is now right aligned, which means, that the little pictures are moving to left & right, depending on the plot name length.
I found no property controlling this behaviour.
As a workaround I could set the plot legend position depending on its width, when the plot name is changed, but there is no event, firing when the plot name is changed by the user. So I would have to poll the plot names in the timeout case of my event structure. Btw. I have to show six XY- graphs on my FP, so polling can cause a remarkable CPU load (when I do it 1000 times / s ).
Any suggestions?
Greets, Dave

Hello Dominik,
thank you for your reply.
I'd like to show you the problem with some pictures:
The left picture shows the original situation, the right picture demonstrates the behaviour with LV2012, the legend is right aligned.
The same situation in LV2014, the legend is right aligned.
Greets, Dave

Serial-Buffer overflow without too much incoming data or bursts on the line

My application runs under LabView 5.11 on a W2000 platform.
After a couple of hours trouble-free working, the sub-vi "bytes at serial port" gives out 57351 Bytes. That is 56k + 7Bytes, which is the normal Datablock coming in at the port.
Effect is that the "serial port read-vi" and as result the complete application hangs up.
I have allready found out that this data set does not arrive at the port.
Could this be a problem of LabView 5.11 running under W2000?

I would first urge you to disconnect the cable from the serial port and let it run more than long enough to convince yourself the error goes away or re-occurs.
If you disconnect, and the error still occurs, your port hardware may be bad. Try another port or PC.
If the problem goes away, you could have noise on the line (interference, bad ground, bad conections, excesive long cable, etc, etc) or,
your code is not coming back to read the port often enough. If you think this is the case, read from the port more often or use hardware handshaking.
I would like to know a lot more before saying it is a software in-compatability issue.

Can my machine be updated to run 10.6 without too much performance issues?

Hello,
I have a iMac5,1 model machine,
Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz,
2 GB RAM.
When I bought it, it had OS X 10.4 installed, but my harddrive got replaced after a failure, the new drive had 10.5 installed. I've been using that ever since.
Since more and more software is becoming unavailable for 10.5, with no options of using older versions, I have been looking into getting a new machine, but not really able to afford one, the alternative is to update the OS to 10.6. I see it requires 1 GB RAM, so it should run fine on this machine, but as once I go for this option, there is no way back (I don't have a 10.5 install disc), I wanted to be sure it would run and not cause a decrease in performance.
I am using my machine to record screencasts, for higher performance software, that just about works. Any noticeable decrease in performance would mean I wouldn't be able to get the same quality work anymore.
Also, is there anything else I should be aware of when updating? Do I need to wipe my drive first, or does the install delete the old OS, install the new and leave all Applications and other files as they are?
Thanks in advance

Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and the last one capable of using Rosetta and will also empower you to use App Store.    I have had an excellent relationship with it for 5 years.
I think your machine qualifies but the first thing to do is check out the formal specs needed for Snow Leopard.
Minimum specs.   Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
If you pass that test ... you can go on to buy Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD.
In the USA go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard   In Europe or elsewhere substitute your national code in place of /us above.
In the UK … the last known price was £14.
Before you start upgrading, back up your files.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard you will need to apply the Combo updater.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up any later updates.
Your memory is sufficient at 2GB but 4GB would be better.

Updating the ipod with itunes takes too much time

i have like 3000 songs in my itunes library ,but when i change some track's names o change anything of my songs in a diferent way like putting their names in capital letters or changing their artworks..etc ,itunes takes too much time updating the changes to my ipod................. why?
ipodvideo Windows XP

Generally the iPod update is pretty quick unless you are making many hundreds of changes at a time. It could be the USB port is slow, try it in another port, preferably on the back of the PC, some computers have underpowered ports on the front panel. Also the recommended system requirements are for USB 2, it will work from a USB 1 port but much slower if that's the type of port you have.

Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

Hello, I would like to use Firefox as my default browser, but the reason I still use the old Netscape Navigator is that that clicking on my bookmarks Firefox is not opening new tab.

Then I flushed the cache, reset ALL the preferences and tried again, still no luck.
As it stands now, I have reset the USERAGENT entries, flushed the cache, reset the preferences and, removed the cookies and still, EVEN in SAFE mode, Firefox and NFCU can't get along. Neither can Yahoo.com!

Cannot open links in new tab without holding Ctrl

There is only one option i see in preferences for opening sites in new tabs. and it is called "Open links from applications..."
Even with this checked, by default all links open in a new window, unless I hold down Ctrl while clicking the link.
There MUST be a way to set ALL links to open in a new tab like every other browser I've used. No??

Every single time this topic is raised, someone tries to claim there is a work-around, while seemingly forgetting that this is the Safari for Windows forum, and not the Safari for Mac forum.
This is the single biggest glaring omission from Safari for Windows. It completely defeats the purpose of even having tabs, which makes me wonder what in the world were the developers thinking.
Safari is a very pretty and fast browser, but I don't know many people who actually use it on a Windows machine due to the inability to simply open links in a new tab without right clicking or holding some extra button down. It's also the only mainstream browser for Windows that isn't capable of this simple task.
Having watched this issue since Safari 3, without ever seeing any response other then "oh, but just do this work-around" (that only works for Macs), my guess is we'll never see it happen. The funny thing is that when you look at the ini files that can be changed on the Mac version, they are pretty much identical to the Windows version. So, the "fix" not working simply means that whoever was in charge of the part of code related to tabs when porting to Windows must have consciously decided there was no need for the ability to open links in new tabs.
Proving once again that software engineers can be utterly clueless about the usability of their software.

How do you change the tab outline color

How do you change the tab outline color? I wish to use a black style on my test program but the tab features have a white edge on the top and left sides to try and give a 3d look. I've tried playing with the windows style but had no success. Does anyone know how to remove this or change the color? The closest I have got so far is setting a windows 7 basic theme which removes the 3d look. This does however give a white background on the tab pages which I cannot find a way of changing in either CVI or windows. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Solved!

Chris,
Unfortunately, this border is only customizable through the Windows theme. Changing the theme to the basic is likely going to be the closest to what you are looking for without creating a custom theme for Windows.

Tab control - takes long to change between tabs

Hi everyone,
I am using a tab control to display a set of results on each tab. So, I have a tab control with three tabs and each tab consists of 16 indicators which are updated with values. Now, when I run the program, it is taking a long time to switch between these tabs. For instance, if I am currently on Page 1 and then I click Page 2, it takes around 5 seconds to change the tab. I know this should be like this but I cannot understand what is happening.
I need help, please. I know it is a silly question but I cannot make heads or tails of it!
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would also recommend to streamline the code a little bit.
For example the cases in frame#1 differ only by some small operations. All that belongs inside the case is the code that differs. none of the local variable seems to be necessary. All that belongs in the smaller cases are the colorbox constants (might be easier to index into an array of colors). If you autoindex on the For loop boundary, you don't need to wire N and you can eliminate the "index array" operation.
In frame #2, you could autoindex on arrays of references, all in a single FOR loop (same for all the initializations).
You have race conditions. Initializing all the colors (to the right and left of the sequence structure) all occur in parallel to the sequence structure. You should create a data dependency to ensure things occur in a defined order.
You can probably eliminate all these hidden indicators and associated local variables. The wire is the data!
