Cool trick for 10.4.8 users you may not know about....

if you have a mighty mouse or a scroll wheel, hold down control and twizzle it. cool eh?
now move the mouse around. very cool.
you can turn the same setting on to be used with key commands in system preferences -> universal.
but i think this new feature is best with a scroll wheel and even better with mighty mouse.

It's a little buggy on my machine and only works with 'Command', not Control. I have tried changing the key in system preferences but it always reverts to Command.
I love using the feature on my powerbook with the track pad. Hold Control and drag two fingers at a time. COOL!

  • Hey! something you may not know .....

    a  Laptop Battery is portable and can run on batteries alone.
    Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) batteries were the first type of battery commonly used in laptop computers, and older laptops sometimes still use them. They have a life of roughly two hours between charges, but this life decreases with each charge based on thememory effect. Gas bubbles form in the cell plates, reducing the total amount of available cell space for recharge. The only way around this is to discharge the battery completely before recharging it. The other drawback of NiCad is that if the battery charges too long, it can explode.
    Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are the bridge between NiCad and the newer Lithium-Ion (LiIon) batteries. They last longer between charges than NiCad but overall have a shorter total lifespan. They suffer from the memory effect, but to a lesser extent than NiCad batteries.
    LiIon batteries are the current standard for laptop computers. They are light and have long life spans. They do not suffer from the memory effect, can be charged randomly, and won't overheat if overcharged. They are also thinner than any other battery available for laptops, making them ideal for the new ultra-thin notebooks. LiIon batteries can last for anything from about 950 up to 1200 charges.
    Many laptops with LiIon batteries claim to have a 5-hour battery life, but this measurement can vary greatly depending on how the computer is used. The hard drive, other disk drives and LCD display all use substantial battery power. Even maintaining wireless Internet connectivity requires some battery power. Many laptop computer models have power management software to extend the battery life or conserve battery power when the battery is low.

    Hmm, made some elementary mistakes there.
    What I should have said was that the declared primitive type of the Java constant is converted to its C/C++ equivalent so..
    Java int == C/C++ long
    Java short == C/C++ short
    Java byte == C/C++ byte
    I would assume that Java String literals are converted to #define literals, with the L"literal" prefix so as to ensure UNICODE. I don't use String constants in this manner for my current project so I leave it up to you as an exersize to find out what happens.
    To correct my previous post then the first example should have read..
    package com.domain.package;
    public class AClass {
    public static final int A_CONSTANT 12;
    javah will transform these constants into #defines whose names follow the name mangling conventions for classes run through javah.
    The constant above is transformed into..
    #undef com_domain_package_AClass_A_CONSTANT
    #define com_domain_package_AClass_A_CONSTANT 12L
    The second example you can ignore

    Hi Guys,
    I have the sam problem just upgrading to iOs6.0.1. iTunes returns the following error:
    Ive tried updating via my device (New iPad) and same problem.
    I started downloading the update last week but stopped it for reasons I cannot remember. Now it seems that Ive clogged my system.
    My iTunes is up to date. I have however not run any Quicktime or iCloud updates cause i do not use the software. Will it make a difference.
    Also my Windows updates might be a bit outdated, say about a month or so.
    Please help, very frustrating!
    Also sorry but while Im here I have another question. A while ago the brightness level of my iPad adjusted by itself (not Auto Adjust). Its like it dimmed via Auto Adjust and did not "un-dim" and now Im forced to run brightness at 100% and consequently is hard on battery life. Any ideas?

  • The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions

    Hi
    I originally posted this in the Windows 7 Networking forum and they advised to post it here.
    We use Windows 7 SP1 clients with Roaming Profile and Folder Redirection and they are connected to a Windows 2008 SP2 server.  We are getting issues when someone tries to open files on their redirected Desktop and they get the message "'The item
    referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions" if you click browse it then defaults to a different users profile.  If you click through the errors the file eventually loads.  If you open Word from
    the Start menu and then browse to the file it opens fine.  We have found that deleteting the Normal.DOTM file sometimes fixes the error, but only seems effective 50% of the time.  This doesn't happen for all users, and seems to occur in small
    groups and not all the time.  We have also had the same message come up with someone trying to open Word files an online learning resource we have created.
    There are a couple of events showing for about the time the error occured they are:

    Hi
    An update.  We have approx 400 people with roaming profile/folder redirection on Windows 7/2008 and this only seems to have occurred to about 15 people, and then seems to clear up for a period and then happens again.  We also have a similar number
    of people with roaming profile/folder redirection on Windows 7/2003 system and we haven't had a report of this issue happening on this setup.
    So far we haven't been able to replicate the issue using a test account, so are struggling to find out what is causing it and why it is so random.

  • Everything you need to know about Foxtel Go

    Foxtel on T-Box customers can self register Foxtel Go on 2 devices per Foxtel on T-Box subscription. You are able to view content on 1 of the 2 registered devices. The T-Box device will automatically be registered on your behalf and cannot be deregistered. You can change the device they have registered once per calendar month.
    To change a registered device you must log into the Foxtel Go app. As a Foxtel from Telstra customer please use your Foxtel My account details. As a Foxtel on T-Box customer please log in with your primary (i.e. the first username created and linked to your account) BigPond username and password.
    Once in the app go to the settings icon and choose 'manage my devices'. Within this section of the app you will be able to select de-register for the device you wish to change. To register, download the Foxtel Go app and log in. You will be prompted to register the device.
    Remember you can only change one device once per calendar month. If you are still able to make a change, you will be advised of the number of device registrations left this month.
    If you recently registered your T-Box, you should have access to Foxtel Go within 1 hour. If you are experiencing errors please try closing the Foxtel Go App and logging in again. If you are still unable to access any content please contact us via Telstra 24x7 or Telstra Technical Support on 13 22 00
    If you swap your Foxtel on T-Box service to a new device, your Foxtel Go service is not affected as it is associated to your BigPond username and password, and not the T-Box device.
    When trying to make a second device change within a month the de-register' button will be greyed out, preventing the change.
    Current channel rights only allow Foxtel Go to be registered on 3 devices per Foxtel Account. For Foxtel on T-Box customers, the T-Box counts as your 3rd device.
    The parental control function is specific to Foxtel Go and managed in the app via the settings icon. To access parental control:
    Go to the settings' icon in the app (top right)
    Access parental controls'
    Choose which classifications you'd like to restrict
    All R-rated content is automatically blocked, but you can personalise your restrictions for other ratings. To do this go to Settings in the Foxtel Go app, turn on Parental Controls and restrict the classifications you would like to block. If this is the first time you do this you'll be prompted to set a 4 digit PIN specifically for Foxtel Go. You can use this PIN to change your parental controls in the future. This PIN is only applicable to the Foxtel Go app. For Foxtel from Telstra customers, the PIN is not the same as you use on your IQ or Set Top Box, and you will be required to setup a new PIN to restrict content on Foxtel Go. For Foxtel on T-Box customers, the PIN is not the same as you use on your T-Box, and you will be required to setup a new PIN to restrict content on Foxtel Go.
    Foxtel Go content is unmetered with Telstra BigPond Home Broadband services. With other internet service providers this will be offset against your data plan.
    If you use Foxtel Go on your device with any 3G/4G telecommunications service provider, including Telstra, usage isn't unmetered and you will incur data charges when using Foxtel Go. The below list provides an indicationof the data you will use per device on the various app settings, based on watching an hour of TV. To view your settings go to the 'settings' icon in the Foxtel Go App, turn on 'video settings' and choose your preferred quality:
    3G Phone/Tablet Best: 320 MB per hour / Low: 170 MB per hour
    Wi-Fi Phone Best: 420 MB per hour / Low: 320 MB per hour
    Wi-Fi Tablet Best: 720 MB per hour / Low: 320 MB per hour
    Wi-Fi PC/Mac Best: 1310 MB per hour / Low: 470 MB per hour
    The size of each episode or Movie on Catch up TV can be found on the Synopsis tab.
    You can use Foxtel Go at a Wi-Fi location or a personal hotspot when you are in Australia provided you have an internet connection. Some locations offer Wi-Fi hotspots where you can log onto the internet for free. e.g. McDonalds, Starbucks, etc. Any data charges incurred are charged to the business and not to you. When connected to Wi-Fi, you'll see a Wi-Fi symbol on your device.
    Foxtel from Telstra customers with a Foxtel iQ or iQHD set top box can Remote Record and send a channel change to their set top box. Unfortunately this functionality is not available to Foxtel on T-Box customers.
    You can pause and rewind the last 30 minutes of Live TV, even if you've just changed to that channel. Due to device restrictions users of Samsung Android devices are unable to use this feature.
    Foxtel Go is a streaming video service. Streaming means that images and sound are delivered live to your device to view when you press Play, rather than being downloaded to your device to view at a later time.
    Games you'd normally see on Foxtel from Telstra or Foxtel on T-Box on FOX SPORTS 3 are broadcast on Foxtel Go on the Footy Play Plus channel
    There are no Catch Up of AFL games or magazine shows on Foxtel Go due to content restrictions.
    The key symbol indicates that a channel isn't part of your package. You need to upgrade your Foxtel from Telstra or Foxtel on T-Box package to watch it. Your package can not be updated through the Foxtel Go app. For Foxtel on T-Box customers you can update your packages in the T-Box App, at www.telstra.com/tboxsetup, via 13 2200 or in store. For Foxtel from Telstra customers you can update your packages through the store or via 13 1999. The lock symbol indicates that, as part of your parental control setting, you've locked this classification of content, and can't watch it. If you want to change the settings then the primary (i.e. the first username created and linked to your account) account holder can change these by:
    Go to the settings' icon in the app (top right)
    Access parental controls'
    Choose which classifications you'd like to restrict
    No other username or password can change the parental control settings.
    We may be required to block out specific programming from time to time, e.g. if a channel doesn't have the legal right to broadcast the programme over the internet. However, all live channels are the same as channels you watch through Foxtel from Telstra or Foxtel on T-Box.
    The vast majority of the Foxtel on T-Box content is available via Foxtel Go. There are some minor exceptions. MTV Music and MTV Dance channels are not available. FOOTY PLAY and FOOTY PLAY+ (overflow) channels are not available on PC and Mac only.
    Access to Foxtel Go is included in your Foxtel on T-Box and Foxtel from Telstra subscription. However, you will incur data charges when accessing the service on a 3G/4G network.

  • A form template .xsn file cannot be accessed. You may not have the required permissions to open the file

    Hi there,
    When a workflow task is assigned to a user, he cannot open a particular task. and
    sees this error in browser:
    A form template .xsn file cannot be accessed. You may not have the required permissions to open the file
    The ULS Log for Correlation ID has these errors:
    The XSN is null and its not a cross server issue. Most likely a permission issue
    The XSN is null after attempting to get it from SiteAndWebCache
    Please note:
    - This user can open all other forms in the same location.
    - If I increase his permission to Site Owner, he can open this form - but we cannot allow this.
    - He was able to open it earlier - I made minor changes in the form and republished the workflow - since then he is having the trouble. 
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hi ran009,
    Please check if that user has contributor permission on the list that the workflow associated and have Edit item permission on related task list/item.
    Also check if the workflow form or other workflow files has been checked out or not. If yes, check it in and test it again. Check Wayne Fan’s post in this thread if you have trouble to check the check-out/in status of the task form.

  • You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item fix.

    So about 2 days ago after i downloaded and installed the iTunes update and when i tried to open it the next day it came up with
    the error
    "Windows can not access the specific device, file, or path. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item "and the parth was for c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe.
    But since I am the admin for my computer and only user thought it was weird. So look online and saw some topics but not a single one helped me. I gave access to all the folders, uninstalled everything apple and reinstalled still got the same error.
    So I thougth it might be a virus or malware did a virus sacn nothing did a malware scan found some items removed them and still got the same error and even did system restore still same error.
    I even made a new Admin accoung for my computer thinking mine had become corrupt but still same error. So I was at my wits end and had pretty much come to terms with the fact that I may not has access to itunes.
    But i tried one last thing and this is the fix at least for me I installed itunes on an external hard drive then moved those files to my desktop. Here's excatly what i did.
    1. I uninstalled itunes from my computer.
    2. Plugged in external HD and made a new folder named it iTunes.
    3. Ran iTunes setup and when it asked where to installed the files I chose my external HD which for me was the G drive and installed.
    4. After iTunes was installed I viewed the files in my external HD and chose the iTunes folder and chose CUT.
    5. I then pasted that to the desktop after that I just opened the folder and chose the iTunes applcation and to my surprise it opened with out a hitch.
    You have to move the folder out of the external HD because if you don't and you unplug the HD it won't open unless the HD is plugged in.
    Sorry for the supe long post but I just wanted to share my fix for this annoying problem so other people may try it and see if it works for them .

  • "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item" Why?

    Whenever i try to access any folder on my computer(Windows 7), it tells me "Windows
    cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item",
    this happens even for My
    Computer and Control Panel. It's driving me nuts! I'll be honest here, I was trying to uninstall Visual
    Studio 2013 Communityfrom my computer by going to Programs
    and Features but for some reason, it was getting stuck at "Configuring
    Your System". After trying it numerous times, I went to the visual studio installation directory, and removed
    the installation files from there. I even removed the files from the C:\Program
    Data folder, then i went back to Programs
    and Features and tried to remove the listing there, but I got a dialog box saying "you
    don't have sufficient access to uninstall visual studio" . I googled this problem and found this  solution
    (http://superuser.com/a/174198)
     then i tried using the solution, I used SubinAcl and
    changed the registry permissions as mentioned in the solution and ended up like this!
    All the access permissions are set correctly (that's what I can make out...)
    Please Help!

    Hi
    Some required information are needed for us to help you.
    Hi NabeelOmer,
    We wonder if you have taken any action such as system restore after this issue occurred.
    You might also try this command to restore your access control list.
    Run this command to navigate to the drive letter, example is D
    D:
    To reset all permissions, run this command
    icacls * /reset /t /c /q
    Visual Studio is a very invasive program and which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions for system, user should never try uninstalling it manually without any guidance.
    Visual Studio made changes for your whole system, if the file has been moved or deleted this error would occur.
    Since you mentioned that you get this error almost everywhere even in control panel. We suggest you repair/reinstall your Visual Studio first and check if it could be fixed.

  • "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not.."
