Filemaker Pro 11 - some useful new features

Just upgraded from Filemaker Pro 9 to 11. There are some useful new features listed at: http://www.filemaker.com.au/products/filemaker-pro/whats-new.html
At last I will be able to generate charts from datasets, without needing an add-on.
I have been using the ancient DOS software Open Access (no relation to MS Access) for charting relational SQL databases since 1987. I still use Open Access within DOSBOX for OS X for some complex data processing tasks. Tips at

I am not an expert in Filemaker But I have been playing with it quite a bit recently. It sounds like you have opened some of the ports required but not all. All IWP is a webpage that is hosted (by the sounds of it) on your local machine you will need to make sure all required ports are open like port 80 for http. I would start by setting the default host on the airport using the airport utility.
You will want to set this as the ip for the computer that has filemaker on it.
Airport Utility > Network > Network Options
You may also want to make sure you reserve this ip in the DHCP reservations section.
If the IWP page works with this set up then you can work your way backwards opening the required ports ( have a look at this http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6427/~/filemaker-server-and-fi lemaker-server-advanced-port-numbers )
I had lots of problems with IWP but installing the server add on sorted this. The advantage to this is that the server add on configures your airport to use the machine as a server.
Dropbox, log me in, back to my mac are slightly different from what you are doing. They are apps which are open and communicating with their respective servers. When you want to host a web site or even just VNC into a mchine you have to have the ports set to forward accordingly, this is because an outside machine is attempting to initiate the contact. This is what the firewalls and security that comes with modern routers are designed to prevent.
I hope I have helped, I can see your question is quite old. I saw your topic whilst looking to solve a problem my own.

List of useful NEW features in Keynote '13

There's a long thread on features that are missing in the update. Some changes are quite annoying. However I'm also noticing a lot of useful new features beyond the top-level things that get reported in news articles. Here are some. Please add to the list.
Text boxes can take any shape so text flows in a specific way you want it to, such as around a curved shape — awesome special case of the next feature.
Format > Shapes and Lines > Make Editable allows you to edit bezier points of an object. Note: inconsistent functionality — weirdly, does not work for curves or connection lines, for example.
Vastly simpler and more beautiful way of editing Bezier points: simply hover mouse between two existing points and a new one appears for you to grab onto if you want it.
Edit shapes with unite / intersect / subtract (under Format > Shapes and Lines). E.g., take a bite out of an object.
Connection lines (under Insert - > lines). Like magnets in OmniGraffle: the end of the line attaches to another object and moves with it. But very limited halfhearted implementation: not every object type can be connected to, you can’t designate positions on the object to connect to, nothing else in the interface even tells you whether the line is a connector or not, there’s no way to switch it on an off for a particular object, etc…
Magic Move transitioncan match text boxes with some text changes (inserting words or letters)
Format > Shapes and Lines > Make motion path from shape (haven’t tried this)
Insert comments tagged with your name and optionally attached to certain objects
Fewer floating windows (panel on right instead)
Negative things worth noting:
The new keynote autosaves, even when this destroys compatibility with older versions of Keynote. So if you want to try editing an old presentation, and you might want to still use it in the old Keynote, make a copy first.
The new Curve object (click the Shape toolbar button, and it’s in the top right) is very strange and you might want to avoid using it. It doesn’t seem to be a “first class” object like others. You cannot add Bezier points, and strangely, you can’t even rotate it! Instead, add a straight line and then add a Bezier point to it.
Cannot reapply master to selection (can only apply to entire slide)
Bezier nodes have only a point, not the two handles, so they’re less flexible
Old themes can fail to work correctly. Not only if there are animations in the master, as has been reported elsewhere; one of my themes incorrectly displays paragraphs as bullets, until I manually tell it to reapply the master to the slide.

The viewable area is centered now. So, you can stage objects off-slide to the top or left very easily.
No more fiddling with a button to scale. Now, as with most drawing apps, pinch can zoom in and out quickly
Right-to-left language text (like Arabic and Hebrew) builds actually WORK!
Have an image and want to replace it with an updated version (or one that's customer specific)? You can now replace images in place quickly
Negative thing worth noting
No longer possible to tweak the file manually to create rounded joins on lines (or rounded butts on dashes for that matter). If you have an old file you manually updated, those still work in the latest version (I've posted a presentation here that uses lines with rounded corners instead of mitered corners to show the difference https://www.icloud.com/iw/#keynote/BAI2xMm7NsSaRKQ1wayBKy6a3BIs7ZO7W1OE/Symbols_ ME_11)

I use this laptop as my home computer but do graphic design on it quite frequently for side jobs but I'm still on OS 10.6.8. My adobe Creative suite is a (not so legal) CS5 that had to be configured to work on this machine.
At work I am about to upgrade my 2010 iMac to the newest OS version and install the new Adobe Creative Cloud suite on it in June. I would like to get the full version, so I can run it on my MacBook too (you are allowed to run two computers with the software purchase) but will this even be possible with my older machine? I can't afford a new one...it doesn't even feel that old.
Also, if it IS possible, then how would I go about uninstalling my CS5? There was quite a bit of tinkering done - not by me so I don't know exactly what - to make it work.
So what should I do? Should I take in to a Mac specialist? Thanks in advance.

10.7 or 10.8 and latest version of one of the browsers listed.

How to use new feature "New Picture"?

SDDM 4.1.0.866 has a new feature ("New Picture"), icon to the right of "New Note" icon. Using this icon, I can insert an external image in a relational diagram, but when I go through the same motions on a logical diagram, the image does not show up. Am I not using the new feature correctly, or does it apply only to relational diagrams? Thanks.

Hi Patrick,
it should be possible to add image to diagrams in all models. It appears there is a problem for diagrams in logical model.
Thanks for reporting the problem, I logged a bug.

Is there a place summarizing How To use new features?

I upgraded to Lion, but now I'm searching everywhere ho to use each new feature.
Apple's "Lion"'s page is just showing what features are new but now how to use/activate them.
Any place where I can go to see them all explained as to how to use, implement, activate?

Ok... so iOS5 has brought some cool (and useful) new features.... good job. However, moving forward I would like to see even more "holding faith" with the overall philosophy of lots of devices interacting with a single data set.

My first, and perhaps clearest, example here is iMessage. It's great that I can take and reply to messages on my iPhone and on my iPad as if it didn't matter which device I use. However, I spend most of my working day on my Mac, and it's a little annoying to have to use one of my other devices to send and receive messages when my most powerful device (my Mac) is right there under my finger tips. I'm an iChat user, which has some great functionality, but of course it doesn't integrate with iMessage in anyway or Facetime for that matter, even though you can effectively do a "Facetime" call on iChat if the other person has the appropriate user account.
So my question/suggestion is - I wonder if there's a way of bringing iChat, iMessage, Facetime etc... all into harmony so that messages, video chatting, screen sharing etc... is dealt with under a single application. I accept you may have it so that there is more functionality on, say, your Mac (e.g. screen sharing). But the integration would still be helpful I think.
Any thoughts (with the hope that Apple will also see these comments/answers/suggestions and take it as food for thought on product development)?
Incidentally, and also for Apple's benefit, please don't read this message as as meaning that I don't like what's already been done! It's great and I think it really is moving in the right direction. It's just that there's still room for improvement.

Thanks for responding Wes. I've pasted the confusing text from that website referenced in my original post below:
Ingest movie clips
You can ingest entire movie clips or a selected portion of the movie clips (partial ingest). You can also transcode the selected movie clips using more than one encoding option.
     Select File > Ingest. Alternatively, press Ctrl+I (Win) or Cmd+I (Mac OS).
     Navigate to the folder containing media, and click the folder. The contents of the folder are displayed in the center panel.
Tip: To access folders from which you previously ingested content, use the menu above the panel.
     Do the following based on your requirements:
To view content as Thumbnails, click the Icon View button.
To view content as a list, click the List View button.
To quickly preview the contents of a movie clip, drag the cursor across the thumbnail. You can also click the thumbnail and use the playhead to scrub the movie. Alternatively, use the JKL keys to control playback of the selected thumbnail.
To change the thumbnail size of movie clips in the panel, use the Zoom slide bar.

Two useful new features in SL

Hi,
If you also write in other languages, you'll find two new useful features in Snow Leopard. First, under System Preferences, Language & Text, Input Sources... there's a new US International PC option that allows you to use accents just as in PCs; that is, '+a=á. Second, at least in Mail and in Pages, the system recognizes the language being used as soon as you start typing and suggests corrections for that language. Before, it corrected for one language as default and you had to tell it when you later used another language. The above works for English and Spanish, hopefully it'll also work for other languages.
José

I can't even find where to switch dictionaries.
In every Apple app you can switch dictionaries via Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar. Except in Pages it is Inspector > Text > More > Language
Also in 10.6 you can play with System Prefs/Language & Text/Text/Spelling.

JDK re-design to use new features

Maybe not the correct place to ask this but...
Does anyone know whether Sun/Java are planning to do a re-design of large pieces of the JDK to utilise, for example enums and generics. It seems to me that all of the parsing classes (DateFormat, DecimalFormat etc) would benefit from generics, whilst other classes would benefit from enums (eg. Calendar class could have enum for the Day, Month etc fields).
I've looked around for the information but cannot find anything. I assume that the answer is yes to the former but no to the latter because it could conceivably destroy backwards compatibility.

Our plan is to retrofit existing libraries in a way
that maximilzes compatibility with existing code.
Secondary goal is adding as much type safety as
possible.Retro-fitting the Calendar class with enumerated types for the date fields (days of week, month of year etc) would "potentially" break existing code. However, I think that only very badly-designed code would in fact be broken (that relied on the representation of these fields to be based around int). Reflective code, that works on hard-coded String field-name values will not break.
For example I have an application with a Cache that caches data for multiplier X date_field (eg. 3 days or 5 weeks or 2 months, whatever). This is implemented by a properties file that holds the multiplier value and a String which is the field name in the Calendar class. Hence the code looks like...    try {
        Properties props = loadProperties();
        int mult =
            Integer.parseInt(props.getProperty("System.cache.multiplier"));
        Field field =
            Calendar.class.getField(props.getProperty("System.cache.field"));
        Calendar cacheBoundary = Calendar.getInstance();
        cacheBoundary.add(-mult, field.getValue(null));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // whatever
    }This is independent on the type of the Calendar field as it should be.
New libraries can be expected to take full advantage
of new language features. No existing libraries will
be
deprecated on the basis of new language features
being
available.I take it this means that Calendar will NOT use enums.

New ACR RC released... Looking forward to seeing new features in LR

Adobe just announced ACR 8.5 RC: Camera Raw 8.5 RC and DNG Converter 8.5 RC Now Available
Some very useful new features are included along with the usual support for new camera models, such as the ability to modify gradients with a new brush tool and being able to display a mask overlay for gradients... Nice! Looking forward to seeing LR 5.5 (or perhaps even 6?). No news on a release candidate for LR; perhaps there won't be one as per 5.4.
M

I note this paragraph heading in the notes for the release's new features:
"Camera Raw 8.5 introduces the following new features for Photoshop CC customers"
Could this mean that although the Beta update is stated to be for both CS6 and CC that the new features (outside the camera additions) would not be implemented with a CS6 install?

Instructions for new features in 5.0 don't work on Mac.

The instructions for using new features in Firefox 5.0 do not work on Mac, which is most likely your largest user considering Mac users can't use IE. Contol-clicking on a tab does not result in a menu with "pin tab" or any similar wording. It is not possible to drag one tab icon on top of another to create tab groups. Those are the only two changes I've tried. Do these features not work on Mac? If they do, how do those of us who are intelligent enough to use the superior computer find instructions?

Your point that the support is manned by volunteers and not the company producing the software is the problem. I have a little time right now, but I teach 15 credit hours of college writing courses during the academic term, which means I work 14 to 18 hours a day seven days a week. I do not have time to search through endless posts to seek answers to basic functionality questions. The companies that produce software should be responsible for explaining how it works, and they should do so in non-technical terms unless they want me to impose my expertise on them and demand perfect grammar on their sites. But then, corporate America is not held responsible for anything these days. Frequent, needless software updates that limit rather than enhance functionality are quickly turning me into a neo-Luddite.

New feature in iOS 6.1 + iTunes Match + Car systems

I'm happy to see some great new features with iOS6.1 with iTunes Match when connected to my Audi MMI (music system).
Previously if you were a subscriber to Apple's iTunes Match offering, you were able to only see the music tracks that you had manually downloaded to your connected device - all the tracks that were available in the cloud (but not downloaded) were not visible via the Audi MMI.
With iOS 6.1, the MMI now displays ALL tracks in the cloud and you are able to select and play any of them via the MMI. This is a very welcome addition because now, you have your entire music library accessible while you drive.
Another surprising addition, is that you can also browse the tracks ON your device (which was previously blocked with an 'Accessory Connected' blocking screen.
This is a great new feature of iOS that makes an iPhone even more appealing when connected to your car system.
This most likely will work with the connected car systems in VW, BMW and other car manufactuerers. Please weigh in if you have a different car and you see this new feature.

It could be. I know that Last.fm recently released an iOS app that allowed you to play all your iTunes Match music from their app and it would scrobble the plays to thier service.
My Audi reads my iTunes Match library and will stream any song thru the car system. I'm sure since Sonos can see what's on an iDevice locally and play that music, and Last.fm can see all iTunes match music that Sonos should be able to read the larger library and stream whats requested to play - only time will tell.

After upgrading the new operating system, it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select

After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

Does anyone know how well the Intel Iris Pro installed on new 15" MacBook Pros performs using Photoshop and Lightroom? I have seen some differing opinions out there, and I would rather not shell out the extra cash for the Nvidia if I don't have to. I mostly do photo editing for business and personal use. I have not used the 3D function in Photoshop, but I would like to know that I could.

You could download a trial and see how well it works before committing to a subscription. You get 30 days to decide.

Acrobat Pro XI frequent crashes when using New Window feature

As a lawyer using Acrobat Pro XI to review legal documents, I find the New Window feature invaluable since it lets me view different parts of the same document at the same time. However, when I use this feature I encounter frequent crashes, more often if I insert a comment in one of the windows. Inserting those comments are very important to me. Is there any way to avoid the crashes while using the New Window and Comment features together?
