FYI: switching between SLEEP Mode and HIBERNATE Mode on Powerbooks 5.8

The current 15" Powerbooks (DL Superdrive) will enter hibernate mode if the battery is very low on power.
To always use Hibernate Mode instead of Sleep Mode:
Launch terminal and enter
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
It will take a little longer to hibernate/wake a Powerbook compared to sleeping. Waking has to be done by pushing the power button.
To disable Hibernate Mode completely, in terminal enter:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
To turn back your PB to standard behaviour (first sleep - hibernate if battery is low on power), in terminal enter:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

So it's basically the same as PC based laptops. Sleep or suspend mode brings the computer back up faster but if it loses power while sleeping any unsaved work is lost. Hibernate writes the files to disk or RAM before shutting down so the work isn't lost if the battery drains out.

Timeline window missing button to switch between frame mode and timeline mode

I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended.
This is what my timeline looks like now.
In tutorials they refer to a button that should be to the left of the drop menu that says "forever". The button is supposed to allow you to switch between frame mode and timeline mode.
this is what the timeline window looks like in timeline mode and with the button that allows you to switch.
I've already tried reinstalling and upgrading to CS6 extended, as some forums suggested.
Please help. Animation is the core reason that I need photoshop and without this button I'm extremely limited. Thanks.

OK. This should work. Copy and past the below script into Script Editor, save it as an AppleScript application to the Desktop. Double-click it and it should change to grayscale. Double-click it again and it'll toggle back.

MSI R9 290 How to switch between Gaming Modes?

Hi, I just got a MSI R9 290... with Afterburner installed. This card has 3 preset modes that are supposed to be easy to switch between OC Mode 1007Mhz, Gaming 974Mhz, Silent 947Mhz... How do I switch between modes? I just tried to up the MHz in Afterburner and must have done something wrong, becuase I froze everything instalntly and had to reboot. Can someone please advise me how to switch between these modes? Do I have the right software installed, Afterburner or is there another suite specificly for this card? I did not install the card, and sorry I am a noob when it comes to OC. . . Noob to gaming in general, but I am getting some pretty bogus 30FPS on a 2012 game, LA Noire, which shouldnt even be demanding for t

You need the Gaming APP for switching (not Afterburner): http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip
Afterburner is for manual overclocking (for advanced users) if not using the modes.

Assertion Failed with switching between editing mode of table view

I'm writing an app that can switching between edit mode of a table view
- in edit mode a new line appear at the bottom
- out edit mode this line will disappear
I used insertRowsAtIndexPath and deleteRowsAtIndexPath to achieve this effect, but then during testing, if I switching edit mode too frequently, I got an assertion failure
Assertion failed: (cache->size >= g->size), function evictglyph_entry_fromcache, file Fonts/CGFontCache.c, line 836.
It seems someone has also encountered this before, but I have found no solution yet. Anyone know how to fix it or work around it?

Hi,
Please check if you have entries on the table RSTRANRULE with:
GROUPID   = 'space'
GROUPTYPE = 'space' or 'S'
REF_RULE <> 'space'
If there are inconsistent entries in the RSTRANRULE table such as:
       TRANID         *
       OBJVERS        *
       RULEID         *
       SEQNR          *
       GROUPID        00
       GROUPTYPE      space or GROUPTYPE    'S'
       RULETYPE       space
       REF RULE       *
Delete these entries from the table.
Activate the affected transformations.

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

While not in edit mode:
- if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
- if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

Delaying when switching between apple mail and safari

just on mavericks.
it more or less looks and feel ok but...
when I switch between apple mail and safari, everything "freezes" for some seconds (up to 30).
anyone similar experiences?
what could be the cause of that?
its really disturbing.

I am a little puzzled by the libraries and switching between the libraries. My personal computer has the majority of the movies and content that would be transfered to the appletv. I chose to only select a minimal amount of content (of movies and tv shows, music via playlists) so there would be space left that would hold photos. Also, i just want to send over only what I want to view (manual synch) If I switch to my Kids library, it streams all the content well (movies & tv shows)(which is fine and streams well) If I switch back to my library, it shows every movie, every tv show, hundreds of music playlist that I did not choose to see. (stream mode) The only fix is to reboot the computer, and all is well. anyone experience this issue?

CS6/CC - switching between source monitor and timeline disaster

Now what is this?
It all works fine until you try DV Output.
In DV Output mode every time you switch between source monitor and the timeline it goes to some scary ritual:
1. output disabled on external monitor
2. some crazy flickering happens
3. ok, now updated picture on external monitor finally appears
Same happens when switching back to timeline.
Also when scrubbing through timeline video and audio is late for a few centuries on DV device/external monitor/speaker.
Why Adobe screwed firewire environment editing? I'm thinking about changing my job. Editing with Premiere is killing me lately. I'm thinking about starting to work with bees or strawberries, or something else less frustrating.
And Premiere CS 5.5 was the best editing software ever released. It has no similar problems. Why CS6 and CC are retarded?

I'm just asking for properly working feature which is alredy implemented and worked fine in earlier versions.
Adobe, can this be fixed, please?

Switching between page layout and word processing

I can't seem to switch between page layout and word processing view. I've read all the posts on this and still can't figure out why I can't just type a document into Pages. The only option I have in page layout view is to type into text boxes, which is not what I want. I just want to type a letter for crying out loud.
Before I get all the rants about reading User Guides, etc. *I have*. I've also searched on here and in-app help and just don't understand the fuzzy/non-existant answers. Obviously, I'm a newbie, so please don't jump all over me for this. If it was Word - I could do this in NO time. I just find it incredibly frustrating that inputting a normal document should be so difficult.
Is "Pages" *not* a word processing program? Is it just a cut and paste application? Sorry for the tone - I mean no disrespect - it's just that I've been fooling around with this for DAYS and I just don't have time to spare anymore. I really need to get this done.
Can somebody give me a straightforward answer on how to just type a normal document into pages without using text boxes?
Thanks and I apologize for not being mac-savvy. It took some of us a lot longer to see the light =)

Here is a script doing the conversion task for you.
Open a Page Layout document
run this script:
--{code}
set p2t to (path to temporary items from user domain) as text
set path_2_doc to p2t & (do shell script "date +_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.doc")
tell application "Pages"
save document 1 in path_2_doc
open file path_2_doc
end tell
--{code}
that's all folks.

Duet makes noise after switching between finder audio and Logic

Hi
My Duet makes noise after switching between "finder audio" and "Logic", In other words i would play a mp3 in the finder and when returning to Logic all my audio sounds like the "lo-fi" RTAS free plug digidesign gives away now.
This is happening on a White *iMac 24"*
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM61.0093.B07
SMC Version (system): 1.10f3
MacOsx 10,5,7

Does this happen every single time? The same thing happens to me every once in a while. I just close Logic and Maestro and unplug the Duet. Then, in this order, plug in the Duet, wait for it to click, load Maestro, load Logic. Works every time.
Edit: It does only seem to happen when I switch from Logic and the audio output from the Duet to internal and then come back quickly. I don't think it's an issue with the Duet hardware itself.

MacBook Pro won't automatically switch between internal speakers and display audio

I have a MacBook Pro that connects to a LED Cinema display. It used to automatically switch between internal speakers and display audio when plugged in to the display but won't anymore. I have to manually change it in System Preferences --> Sound. Does anyone know how to make it do that again?
thanks,
Ben

I just want to add, I have the same problem, and just want to help raise awareness of it.
1st, the problem only started recently (have been using the Thunderbolt display since it was released), I did not have this problem, and noticed it beginning only in the last month. (since January)
2nd, My particular setup, includes a hard drive attached to the firewire port on the back of the Thunderbolt Display (so, I am wondering if anyone else experienced this problem with a firewire drive being connected).
     My full setup:
          Macbook Air (2011)
         Thunderbolt display
          Western Digital drive (attached to firewire of display)
3rd, If I go into settings, what I will see is the "Display Audio" is selected (but no sound coming out),
If I then select "Internal Speakers," a buffered "history" of all the sounds I did not hear is then played (pretty funny actually) - for example, if I sent mail, adjusted the volume, and started playing a song.... it immediately plays all those sounds when selecting "Internal Speakers"
4th, If i then select "Display Audio" - it does nothing
5th, what I have to do, to resolve this is: eject all my hard drives, disconnect the thunderbolt cable, then reconnect the thunderbolt cable, and everything works as normal.

Iphone switching between pod cast and Ipod shuffle

Hello, I have an IPhone 3 G and while I am running at my gym it keeps switching between my IPod and my podcast player. I have checked my internet connections and it is fine. I know I am not hitting the shuffle buttoon because I turn the sceen saver off, after I have selected the Pod Cast music that I like. Is it the head phones or the IPhone?

One thing that might help out.
The button on the headphones does not have the ability to shuffle media files.
One click to pause or play. two clicks to advance to the next track.
Here is a link to the iphone user guide that might help out.
Check out page 63 for shuffle and repeat features.

Hope this helps.

Switching between OS X and Win7 on MacBook Pro

Is there an app or some process to easily switch between OS X and Win7 on my MacBook Pro? Thanks.

If Windows is installed in BootCamp then reboot from one OS to the other.
If it is install to be used by an emulator that start your Windows applications.

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games. Is it hardware or software problem?

I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers. With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan. Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone. I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem. I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.
