Command+tab suddenly does not scroll through applications
In fact, command+tab does nothing at all - it doesn't even show the desktop icon. Both of the command buttons and the tab button do work, just not for this purpose. I use command+tab constantly while I work, so this is a pretty big annoyance.
Using a new-ish small Apple keyboard, OS 10.5.8. Any help? thanks!
Hi,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

My IPad needs double click to access anything and does not scroll through anything
IPad needs a double click to access anything and then does not scroll down.
Do you need to tap (and the app/item then gets a box around it) and then double-tap ? If you do then you probably have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064 -
Command-TAB - How does this build the application list???
I have a need to enumerate the applications that have "windows", "icons", whether if they are minimized to the dock or not. I need basically the list of applications that Command-TAB brings you. How do you do this programmatically?
Everything I tried gave me everything, or just the applications that are NOT minimized. Drives me nuts. Tried CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo, NSArray *runningApps = [workspace launchedApplications], but I can't get to the filtering of the list I need - whatever Cmd-TAB brings you.
Help?Hello,
I cannot reproduce what you say using launchedApplication.
NSArray *launchedApps = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchedApplications];
for (NSDictionary *app in launchedApps)
printf("%s is launched
",[[app valueForKey:@"NSApplicationName"]UTF8String]);
This gives me all launched apps that I can see in the comd-tab shortcut. If I use runningApplications then I get much more results (any app running even in background).
I minimized all windows of two apps: Preview and MacSoup as one is Cocoa and the other is not (well I think Preview is Cocoa): they where listed as well

PS2 - Tab key does not work in dialog boxes
I am referring to the dialog boxes such as "Don't save" "Cancel" "Save" and pretty much any other dialog, the Tab key does not go through the options as it does in pretty much any software I have used.
Is this the normal behavior in Photoshop PS2; or is there some way to 'fix' it?Is this the normal behavior in Photoshop PS2
That seems unlikely, but firstly:
How To Get Help Quickly!
And secondly: Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)? -
My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds. It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work. How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting? I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily. Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks. Karen in GA

When on a site with a PDF download I wish to open, when I click on download the site commences to open in a new Tab but the information does not come through? This happens on all sites. The advanced Java Script is disabled. The new tab will sometimes flash black then go white with nothing else happening or just go white & nothing else?
I had the same problem and also had PDF Download 3.0.02 installed. By removing this addon I can now select a PDF document which then opens up a normal Open With/Save dialogue allowing me to open the file or save it. Hope this helps.

SQL Tab in Object Browser does not scroll when using a mouse.
In the Navigator tree on the left pane, when I expand the Table node under my connection and click on a table name, the object details tabs appear on the right. This is really neat and I like it.
One thing I noticed is that when I click on the SQL tab to retrieve the table creation script, the CREATE TABLE script appears in the read-only editor. When I try to use the mouse to select the text (hold down the left mouse button and drag down), that editor does not scroll, so that I can reach the end of the script.Thanks I missed this. The issue is the double scrollbars. I checked in a fix but it will not in the new update later today but the next one.

I have 8-10 UiWebView's to load different charts and maps on an iPad, i am using UIScrollView to scroll through each page, problem is while loading of each UiWebView my UiScrollView does not scroll smoothly to other pages horizontally, my query is can i load UiWebView on background and how to make sure the scoll of pages is smooth, even though the loading of UiWebViews may take time.
Note :i have tried disabled scrolling on webview, so when i scroll on the page the scroll event will be of UiScrollView, so believe no conflict with UiWebView.
also in ios 6 i read about suppressesIncrementalRendering = True but i want to support ios5, also as UiWebViews are said to be running on main thread by default, i suspect when loading of webViews and when user tries to scroll the page, the main thread is busy, but i want the scroll of the page to be smooth even though the loading of UiWebViews may take time.You will probably get a faster and more accurate answer if
you repost in the Developers Forum. -
how do I switch between windows in the same programme? I know that I can use Command tab, however this takes you through all of the programmes that I'm using. What I need to do is have a shortcut to switch between windows in the same programme. For example if I'm in Excel and have 5 windows open I want to be able to scroll between each window of Excel only with a shortcut.
Please help!Command and ~ keys to tab between open windows.
Technically it is the Grave Accent ` (aka reverse quote) under the tilda ~ key. Tilda ~ is shifted, and Grave Accent ` is not.

I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?
Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?
I know how to use about:config & have had the usual problems with newtab page tiles but this is more like a bug- using 33.0.1. Doesn't show tiles icon in top right corner just shows a gear that is used to hide the empty tiles that I can't fill with sites. First it would only show 2 rows of 4 columns even though I had it set to 5 & 6 then few days later for no reason they went empty with a serrated line around the tiles & can't drag from the bookmarks---- really bloody annoying!!!!!!! Possibly a setting in the about:config but i can't fig it out?Reset Firefox to its default state

MBean Attribute (Does not apply to application modules)
Can any one tell what this mean ?
MBean Attribute (Does not apply to application modules) :
is this means that it wont help for datasources for any J2EE application ????
Inactive Connection Timeout
The number of inactive seconds on a reserved connection before WebLogic Server reclaims the connection and releases it back into the connection pool.
You can use the Inactive Connection Timeout feature to reclaim leaked connections - connections that were not explicitly closed by the application. Note that this feature is not intended to be used in place of properly closing connections.
When set to 0, the feature is disabled.
MBean Attribute (Does not apply to application modules) :
JDBCConnectionPoolParamsBean.InactiveConnectionTimeoutSeconds
Minimum value: 0
Maximum value: 2147483647Yes!, they do not apply for any applications they are management interfaces, internal to weblogic.
Below is the brief information about it:
A managed bean (MBean) is a Java bean that provides a Java Management Extensions (JMX) interface. JMX is the J2EE solution for monitoring and managing resources on a network.
BEA WebLogic Server provides a set of MBeans that you can use to configure, monitor, and manage WebLogic Server resources through JMX. This reference document organizes WebLogic Server MBeans into the following categories:
MBeanServer Services, which serve as your entry point into navigating the MBean hierarchies. Some of these MBeans contain attributes and operations for managing changes to WebLogic Server configuration MBeans.
Configuration MBeans, which expose attributes and operations for configuring WebLogic Server resources.
Runtime MBeans, which provide information about the runtime state of its resources.
New MBeans, which have been added in the current release of WebLogic Server. These new MBeans are also listed in other categories in this document (for example, new runtime MBeans are also listed under the Runtime MBeans category).
Deprecated MBeans, which are deprecated in the current release of WebLogic Server. -
This is very strange, please read.
My tab key does not work. It will not move from one text field to another.
I have checked my keyboard settings. "Full keyboard access:" is at the default "Text boxes and lists only".
I have deleted this user and recreated the user, and with the completely new user the tab key does not work. Other users on the machine it DOES work.
This is happening now on 3 of our 5 machines.
Lastly, when I turn on the keyboard viewer (International/Input Menu/Keyboard viewer: it shows you what key the system thinks you are pressing when you press a key on the keyboard), it shows that when I press the tab key, the Command key is being held down instead. It's not showing that the tab key is being pressed.
Has anyone seen this previously? Again, it's happening on 3 of our 5 machines (some users the tab key works, some users it doesn't). These are fresh user creations (no special software installed, no prefs changed, etc...)
Thank you for any info!!!"Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility may help.
Also, cmd-opt-n-v (Clear NV RAM) may help as well.

Hello,
We have application where you can select fields, select groupings and properties (for example disable page grouping ) and create custom report.
It worked with crystal 9.
Now we are converting to Crystal 2011 and I have the following problem:
I create report dynamically and set group footer EnableNewPageAfter property to false in group footer section.
When report is created , I open it and see that New Page After property in section expert is unchecked.
When I run the report, I have page break after each group - which is wrong.
If I open report in Crystal, check New Page After Property , save, exit report, open report again, uncheck New Page After Property, save and exit,And than run the report again,
My report behaves correctly:does not break after each group.
If I open report in Crystal, check New Page After Property , save, exit report and then load this report in code and look at EnableNewPageAfter property,
the property is still false - but it should be true
Do I use the wrong property?
What is the right RAS property to set Crystal report 'New Page After' Property in the code for group footer/group header?
Below is method that sets properties for section.
All properties from common tab works, but paging tab properties does not work
public static void SetSectionSettings( ReportSectionController reportSectionController, Section section, Color backgroundColor, bool enableKeepTogether, bool enableNewPageAfter,
bool enableNewPageBefore, bool enablePrintAtBottomOfPage, bool enableResetPageNumberAfter, bool enableSuppress, bool enableSuppressIfBlank,
bool enableUnderlaySection, bool autoFitSection )
try
SectionFormat sectionFormat = new SectionFormat();
sectionFormat.EnableKeepTogether = enableKeepTogether;
sectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = enableNewPageAfter;
sectionFormat.EnableNewPageBefore = enableNewPageBefore;
sectionFormat.EnablePrintAtBottomOfPage = enablePrintAtBottomOfPage;
sectionFormat.EnableResetPageNumberAfter = enableResetPageNumberAfter;
sectionFormat.EnableSuppress = enableSuppress;
sectionFormat.EnableSuppressIfBlank = enableSuppressIfBlank;
sectionFormat.EnableUnderlaySection = enableUnderlaySection;
sectionFormat.BackgroundColor = uint.Parse( ColorTranslator.ToWin32( backgroundColor ).ToString() );
reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
catch ( Exception ex )
log.Error( "ReportApplicationBuilder error - SetSectionSettings: ", ex );
throw;
Thanks,
Julia KlubisHi Julia,
There have been a few escalations of this type. For some odd reason you have to call the .Set 2 times...
reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
See if that works?
