Dashboard: Can iStat Widget Info Be Displayed Permanently On Desktop?

Yes, the question is in the title.
I would like to display the iStat widget, or at least all the info it displays, permanently on my desktop to save myself from continually having to open it.

You could try DashIt, which allows widgets to be permanently displayed on the desktop: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Dashboard-Widgets/Webcams/Miscellaneous/Dash-It.sht ml
...downside is that the displayed widget is always on top of other windows - other than that it works like a charm. There's another one called Amnesty Widget Browser: http://www.amnestywidgets.com/WidgetBrowser.html which apparently gets round this problem (haven't tried it myself) but it's not freeware.

AppStore displays permanently an update avaible and there is none really, how can I solve these little problem?

AppStore displays permanently an update avaible and there is none really, how can I solve these little problem?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Sync with iTunes
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
I myself would live with it before doing the following
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Can you change the volume display at bottom of screen to the song time instead?

I have just bought a new Ipod Nano and really like it! The only problem I'm having is when playing songs the bottom of the screen shows the volume level rather than how far it is through the song in time (like the old nanos used to show). I find it really annoying not knowing at a quick glance how much more of a song is left to play.
I know this info is displayed by double tapping the screen (although it is only shown temporarily). Is there a way of changing the volume level icon at the bottom of the screen to display the song time instead?
Thanks in advance.

There is not. You can let Apple know how you feel about it using the form on this page.

Hi,
Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

I have cables hooked to my MacBook and HGTV, but can't get tv to display. Help!

I have cables hooked to my MacBook and HGTV, but can't get tv to display. Help!

Are you using a Mini DisplayPort or a Mini-DVI adapter on your MacBook? What input are you using on the TV, VGA, DVI, Composite, Component or HDMI?
Also it would help to know which one of the 21 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
And the make and model of your TV.

Can I change iTunes & iPod display font (not font size) for selected files only?

I loaded a Russian classical music CD into iTunes and iPod. On the original CD, titles, names etc. are written in cyrillic alphabet. Once I loaded the CD into iTunes and on iPod this info was displayed unreadably in western alphabet. Example: "Èæå õåðóâèìû..." (Í. Ãîëîâàíîâ)Õîð È.
I have cyrillic font on my Windows 7 computer. Can I change the display font--for only these selected iTunes music files--to the cyrillic font? Thanks!

Does any one know how you can adjust the font size (point size) for the file
names.
Sadly enough you can't chance that, feel free to add a feature request for
that, the more there ask for the bigger chance it will be realized.
It would be great if the colors for the image name (background and font color)
could be changed so the contrast could also be increased so it is also easier
to read.
And this the cheerful part, go to Bridge preferences General tap and play
with the sliders for user interface and Image Backdrop until your satisfied.
BTW using the slider for thumbnail size bottom right of the Bridge window to
increase the thumbs does not increase the font but makes it nevertheless a
little clearer.

Please let me know if i can stream my ipod touch 4th generation display on my LED TV ?

The 4G iPod does not support airplay mirroring like the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 (and later) with iOS 5 and later. Thus you iPod will only AipLy for apps that support AirPly.
From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

Can I turn off my display while syncing?

I have an old laptop with usb 1.1 ports. Obviously syncing is extremely slow. If I want to load 12 GB worth of songs it can take hours. Does it harm or wear out the display or do I risk burning the image of the 'Sync in Progress' screen onto my display permanently if it takes eight hours to load that much data? Is there any way to turn off the display while syncing? Thanks

No, you cannot turn it off.

Can I run two thunderbolt display monitors off of my new 27" iMac?

Can I run two thunderbolt display monitors off of my new 27" iMac?

Yes, the new iMac has two Thunderbolt ports. Plus Thunderbolt can be daisy chained thru external Thunderbolt drives and displays that have multiple ports.
For more info, see > Apple - Thunderbolt: Next-generation high-speed I/O technology.
Although I'm not sure exactlly what Arrangement selections you will be offered in the Displays Preference, because I have not tested that setup myself...

"Get Info" only displaying "more info" 1 time

Strange problem here.
When I select a file in the finder, and hit cmd-i to "get info" it displays as expected. The "More Info:" section is complete. If it's an image, it gives dimensions and color space etc. If its a pdf, I get page count, title, creator etc. Everything works just fine.
If I then close the info window, then later (or immediately) return, "More Info:" displays only two hyphens: -- . This happens on every file. First viewing of get info works fine. Close it, open again, and I only get -- in the More Info section.
Any suggestions on what might be causing this?

Projectionist wrote:
but I did import my preferences from the iMac when I first got it, so something must have copied over in that process.
Yes, precisely.
I tried to edit before you saw the .pist because I misread that it also didn't work in the test account. The issue is systemwide and requires a systemwide approach. I wish I could pinpoint it more. I realize how nagging these issues can be as I frequently use the Get Info command and frequently close and re-open it.
EDIT: Can you shutdown, disconnect the Drobo and try?

Thinkpad X201 & KDE: KDE doesn't get info on display brightness

In KDE, I can adjust my screen brightness with both the Fn-{Home,End} keys, and with Battery Monitor widget. Both methods work normally.
However, these methods work independent of each other: if the Battery Monitor shows 100% screen brightness and I turn the brightness down to 0% with the keys, the widget will not display it, and KDE still thinks brightness is at 100%.
To show what I mean: this picture shows the HUD displaying the brightness level at 100%, but after I set my brightness with the Fn-keys, it will still display 100%:
Is there a way to make KDE detect the level of screen brightness set with the Fn-keys?

Same problem here.
That used to work for me in earlier times (~2 month ago). But I'm not sure wheter this has changed by updating kde or updating other stuff (I tend to belive the latter).

No matter which bookmark i click on or url i type, firefox connects to yahoo!search, and even from there i cannot connect to the desired webpage. how can i get yahoo!search permanently disabled?

since this morning [1 may] i cannot connect to any bookmarked or other url [except the firefox homepage?!], because the only connection made is to yahoo!search. and even when yahoo!search displays the search result correctly to the site i want to go on, if i click on that i only get returned to yahoo!search again. since i prefer not to use yahoo!search at all, how can i disable yahoo!search permanently?

There are other things that need your attention.
Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
Frustratedly yours

PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

Dear Mike
Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me
