Desktop Shortcut from other applications

Been a long time since i've used MAC.... approx 12 years.... a lots changed since my 7.53..... been used to operating on Windows... and have only two things I have learned and like about Windows and want to know how to utilize on the Mac efficiently. The first I don't believe Apple has done an adequate job of and that's being able to highlight whatever you want and "print selection only." But finally to my subject for this new Thread.... HOW IN THE WORLD DO I DO THE COMMAND D SHORTCUT IN WINDOWS ON THE MAC? I want a quick key command or mouse click to bring up my desktop and clear all my windows at once. Back in the days of System 7 it was something like Option and click a minimize button and it minimized all active windows. Thanks to anyone who can help. CAN YOU TELL BY HOW LONG THIS IS, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME POSTING IN A FORUM?

Hi, applehunters. Some applications have a Print Selection command in the File menu (in some cases accessed by holding down the Option key while selecting Print). Certain others provide a Print Selection checkbox or option somewhere in the Print dialog box (you may need to look around a bit to find it). And in some apps it isn't an available option.
In an app that doesn't offer that option, you can use Command-Shift-4 to take a snapshot of your screen with the selected portion of the document showing, and then print the resulting PDF file. That will only work if the whole selection can be displayed on the screen at once, so for example you wouldn't be able to select half of page 2, all of page 3 and 4 and half of page 5 in a word processing document, take a single screen shot of the whole selection, and print it all at once. I don't know of a way to print a multipage selection from an app that doesn't offer a Print Selection option.

  • Access Address Book from other applications

    Hi there,
    How can I access Address Book information from other applications (notably the command line, OpenOffice, etc.)?
    In particular, is there a command line utility to access and edit the Address Book?
    Thanks!

    One of the best answers would have been the CPAN module: Mac::Glue. Cheers.

    Hello,
    Just when you think that you know everything, it is slammed in your face that you don't. The .Mac member name field in the System Preferences DOES NOT take your whole e-mail address. It only takes your user name or whatever comes BEFORE the "@" symbol. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my MacBook Pro (other than ther brain dead user).
    Sorry for wasting your time...

  • Transfer postings from other application components to accounting

    Hi expert, we have to transfer posting from other application components(SD,MM) (system A) to accounting (system B, FI/CO module only).
    Is there any related documents of this aspect? 
    Best wishes,
    Evan

    Hi!
    It will be not so easy. You have to set up an interface between the 2 systems.
    If you are using IDoc based interface, you can send IDocs from SD, when an invoice is enable to accounting.
    You might check out user exits (programs) RV60AFZA, RV60AFZB for this.
    Sorry, but this task will be not ready in 10 minutes...

    Hi Yuvish,
    1) They should be boolean inputs to your VI. But does it makes sense to provide a stop button input at the start of your VI? (THINK DATAFLOW!)
    2) Yes, the LV-RTE is needed...

  • What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean?

    What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean in the Lightroom 4 features list? I also see it stated as "...from other software" as well. Yes, I understand the LR can import from Elements libraries but can't find any reference to other applications anywhere, not in the online help, not in the user guide, not in any videos on Adobe TV. It would be nice if LR could see into iPhoto or Aperture libraries but that doesn't appear to be the case. Is that assumption correct? What other applications can LR import from?

    Hello bbb34vball,
    Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:
    iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support
    If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

  • Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications.

    Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications. It happened a few times randomly, and it seemed to resolve spontaneously, but now it is persistent.
    I've done scans for malware, which I suspected, but nothing showed up, nor corrected it with cleaning.
    I had this problem before, and I found directions on how to rest the printer within Firefox, but I've forgotten how or where I got it.
    I did try to re-install in control panel, but this appears to be a firefox issue. How do i rest the plugin or Firefox to once again print PDFs from browser pages. I need to use this feature printing receipts etc.

    Are you using a toolbar button (Create PDF extension) or a printer driver (selecting Adobe PDF or Distiller in the Print dialog) to generate the PDF? Older versions of Create PDF have been reported not to work any more (by older I mean from Acrobat X or earlier), but the printing method should still work.

    I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). CS5 crashes when sent to print.  Can print from other applications (Word, etc.).

    I just tried installing them. I got the message that "Some updates failed to install" (including for CS5), to quit and try again. I was curious and tried again to print and lo and behold, I could print!  I'm still nervous that not everything installed and wonder how to get a complete install.

    your signon url is consists of the following url http://server.domain.com:port/site/signon.html
    Can you ping server.domain.com from your client?
    If you can ping it, then make sure your port is added as a rule in the firewall of the server.
    Also make sure that the proxy setting of the client have an exception to server.domain.com.
    If you cannot ping it, make sure the server and the client are conneted to the same network and make sure the hosts file on the client reflects the ipaddress and the hostname of the server.

  • Create package with prompt from other application

    Hi Experts!
    I need to create a package in the planning application. In the screen selection I need some dimensions of my planning cube and one dimension of the Ownership application. I don't have any problem with the current application dimension, but I need to retrieve the members of INTCO dimension from Ownership because the user should make the selection. Is it possible to create a prompt from other application?
    Thanks!!

    I create the package in Planning application: 
    PROMPT
    (SELECTINPUT,,,"Selction members","%ENTITY_DIM%,%CATEGORY_DIM%,%TIME_DIM%,%CURRENCY_DIM%,INTCO")
    When i try to select one member of INTCO dimension it appear the following message: "Dimension INTCO is not found". BPC is not finding this dimension because it pertain to another application.

  • Cut, copy and paste from other applications not completely cleared

    Hi,
    I'm using build 573.
    When I cut, copy and paste inside Adobe Story synopsis or research content types, I often get text from other applications pasted instead of the text I have cut or pasted from my working document.
    Just to say, it's a little bit annoying when everything else about Adobe Story is so lovely.

  • MIDI from other applications will not drag to GB '09

    I am finding that since upgrading to GB '09 some MIDI files from other applications such as Encore5 will not drag to the GB track area although they play correctly with QuickTime Player. Is GB '09 more fussy about MIDI than earlier versions? What do I do about this?

    Thanks. I don't have QT Pro so I would have to spend £20 to buy it from AppleStore, but your suggestion made me realize I can do audio format conversion with Toast10 which I do have.
    However, something I forgot to mention in my previous post is that the original midi contains 4 separate tracks which I need to keep separate for processing with GB. Toast10 accepts the midi and merges the 4 tracks into one stereo audio file. I suspect QT Pro would do the same.
    I just need GB to accept midi like it used to in previous versions.

  • Can't Access Aperture Photos from Other Applications

    I am using the trial version of Aperture. I can't access the photos in Aperture from Photoshop, Word or any other application (except Mail). I can see the icon for Aperture and the words "Aperture 3 Trial Library" but it is grayed out. Is there a setting or what? I have Snow Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6.5.

    I guess one thing that bothers me about all my pictures being "bundled" in iPhoto or Aperture is that they don't show up in the Finder.
    This is a real non-issue. A Package is simply a folder that looks like a file. Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library or the Aperture Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    See? There are all your files, in folders.
    Why are they Packaged? Because if you move, rename, or alter them then you will corrupt your Library. So it's a simple protection for the structure of the Library. That's all. No big secret.
    But there are other things you need to consider too.
    Supposing you want to attach a file to an Email in Aperture. Presumably you want to send the edited file of your photo. So, how do you do that +when there is no edited file+? Aperture doesn't actually edit the file at all it simply records the decisions you have taken and shows them to live when you view the pic. All your edits are "virtual". So, the fact that your original files are stored out the the package will be no help to you at all.
    iPhoto is pretty much the same - though the details are different.
    So, you have to use the applications when you want to access the files for whatever reason - editing, printing, sharing, whatever. That's the point of these apps. They are your Photo Manager, what AddressBook is to your Contacts, iTunes is to your Music and so on.
    Here's a macro I use for when these questions come up on the iPhoto Forum. Most - if not all - of these will also work for Aperture:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *_(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)_*
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto or Aperture
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto or Aperture not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. This produces, producing a copy.
