That just looks like you've set Spaces to use 16 screens (4 rows and 4 columns), even though you're only actually using 2.
Check System Preferences -> Exposé & Spaces -> Spaces to set the rows and columns to something more reasonable for your needs.

I have no idea on this one. How are you taking the screenshots?

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

Having Multiple issues..Need help to solve L870D ST3NX1

Dear All,
I recently bought new laptop from ToshibaDirect.com. (L870D ST3NX1)
As I have already posted the issue, I had problem with making partition and after using EasyUS partition software my machine was not able to recognize the recovery default partition created by Win8. I requested a recovery media image here in India but unfortunately Toshiba failed to help so..."Pathetic in 21st century".
However I have able to install a professional version of Win8 and my laptop is working now but leaves few issues behind it. I believe someone here help me to get resolve all issues.
I have downloaded almost all drivers from this site and installed successfully.
Issues:
1. I am not able to find out the right driver for the display screen (Not display card) and it is set to default as "Generic PnP Monitor". Will I able to get the original driver for it?
2. I guess because of the above issue, I have another issue with display: The text on the white screen seems to blur with letters "AJKMNOSVWXY bcegjkmnopqrsuvwxy' "()" etc. Those letters get blur at the side. I am not able to get sharp images. Kindly guide.
3. The RAM speed is actually 1600MHz as per specification but on my machine it shows only 800MHz, how can I increase it? (Image attached)
4. In the Device Manager utility I get the massage for "Unknown Device". I tried to remove the device but again it gets detected by system and shows unable to find appropriate drivers. (Image Attached)
5. For the Bluetooth I am unable to send a single file, if tried to send multiple files then all files my other Bluetooth device receives except the last one. (Error message image attached)
6. I unable to use function keys, as in the beginning I used to use it with installed default version of Win8 by Toshiba. I have installed the software and drivers too.
7. I use Adobe Illustrator CS5 for my graphic use, when I tried to work on a tuff task with vector graphics my Adobe Illustrator software showed the message "Not Responding" and it automatically quit the session. I was not running out of RAM or not seen to much pressure on CPU, then why it just gave up?
My previous machine with AMD Turion x2 processor, Win7-64bit install having 4GB RAM was taking much time to process the task while showing on the screen same message "Not Responding" but however get done the task. Why this advance machine with advance software and hardware is not baring the load? I am confuse..Please give me valid solution for this too.
Kindly help me for this issues.
Thanks,
Nixon

Up to 30? Just a guess, but are you perhaps a business owner?
At any rate, for 30 users, I'm almost tempted to steer you towards a business class WiFi router. Granted, yes, a "commercial" router will work, but a business class might also have options to limit bandwidth per user as well.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.

2 NUMBERS issues i need help with

1. is there a way to "lock" certain colums in a spreadsheet? for example, i have a spreadsheet where column A is the product name, columns B thru M are wholesale prices that have to be input and Columns N thru Y the numbers are calculated and populated into the cells, but if i accidentally happen to click on a cell in that area, it can pop up the formula and then if you accidentally click on another cell, it adds that cell name to the formula.. or if you click it you can "pick up" the cell and move it to another location.. just wondering if there is a way to lock that section where the formula can't be changed or cells accidentally moved...
2. on this same spreadsheet... i'm wondering if there is a way to set like a "master" formula or formulas... and have the formula in the cells be kind of like clones of the master formula... i have the formula set to add a percent to the wholesale price, to get the retail price, but if want to change that percentage, right now i would have to go into every cell for every product and every size and change the percentage... and there are 12 price variations for each product.. times over 3,500 products.. you see where i'm going here.. it would be almost impossible to change all those percentages in each cell every time i needed to change the markup percentage... surely there is a way to make this happen, i just haven't been able to figure it out.. i'm thinking i may need to have a few master formulas for different brands or maybe i could just separate each brand of product into their own sheet and just have 1 master formula per sheet..
hopefully that all makes sense..
thanks for any help you provide..
gary

thanks t quinn for your help.. i was able to get the percentage thing fixed...
i do have two more questions if you don't mind....
1.when i am typing in the formula, why does the formula take on the column name and product name (row) fields instead of just keeping the column letter and row number i typed in.. for example, i typed in B3 x $B$1 + B3 and when i hit the check mark to save it, it changes the formula to
wholesalecostblueshoes x $B$1 + wholesalecostblueshoes (where wholesale cost is the Column and blue shoes is the product name in that row.. i mean the formula still works, but it's kind of an annoying housekeeping issue... not all the boxes with the formula in them change to this, some retain the Column letter and row number.. but some switch to what the name of the column and row are...
2. i added a check mark column so that when i am working on updating the prices, i can click the check box to remember that that row has been updated... now, the next time i need to update the prices, all the checks are checked.. what i want to know is, is there a way to have a separate checkbox like up by the MARKUP PERCENT box that i can click to UNCHECK all the boxes... you know so i don't have to manually click on every checkbox to uncheck them... kind of like a "check all" "uncheck all" kind of thing...
thanks,
gary

I just removed AVG 2013 from a customer site on Monday this week after their server encountered critical Exchange issues (ms exchange transport wouldn't stay running). The removal of AVG was painful and required the AVG supported removal tool.
Post removal their SBS is running without issue, Exchange processes are now all resolved.
I'm not saying at all that your issue is related to your AVG installation, but you might try removing the product to see if it is somehow related to your situation. If removal resolves client connectivity, then you have a pointer at least and you can get
support from your software vendor to get the product reinstalled! And if you've still got issues, well at least you've ruled out one item that isn't causing it...
It's where I would start. Hope that helps,

Still having navigation problems and need help with how to debug

Hi,
I've been porting over a servlet project to JSF and I'm still having navigation problems. I thought the problem might have been because the original project used HTML frames and so the "from-view-id" JSP defined the frame/framesets and the specific JSP that does the submit (and so is named in the "from-view-id" is never defined in a "to-view-id" attribute). I've now switched to using an IFRAME, and that resolves that problem. So now the JSP is defined in a "to-view-id" attribute and it includes an named IFRAME that can be used as a target. I press the submit button and I get not the JSP expected butinstead the same JSP displayed inside its own IFRAME.
Here is the code for the submit. I've simplified it as much as possible with a static action (originally it was a call to a method) just to try and get things to work. This is the current version:
<h:commandButton value="View Alias" action="foo" styleClass="select" type="submit" />Here is the navigation rule in faces-config.xml. Again, the problem is that SelectManager get redisplayed in the IFRAME instead of display.jsp.
<navigation-rule>
   <from-view-id>/SelectManager.jsp</from-view-id>
   <navigation-case>
      <from-outcome>foo</from-outcome>
      <to-view-id>/display.jsp</to-view-id>
   </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>I have also tried it without the "from-outcome-value" which I presume means that the "to-view-id" gets displayed unconditionally and it still fails. Any ideas on how I can debug this? (I'm using GlassFish if that's important to know)

Raymond, The real trick is avoid doing technical things when coming down with the flu (I should also add that I'm a JSF newbie). Reading your original message this time I see what you're suggesting and found a conversion error although I don't understand it. Here's the code (including the <h:message/>):
            <h:selectOneMenu value="#{members.dcodes}"
              style="color: #7f0000" id="selector">
              <f:selectItems value="#{members.departmentList}" />
            </h:selectOneMenu>
            <h:message for="selector" style="color:white"/>And here's a snippet of the generated HTML:
<select id="j_id_id26:selector" name="j_id_id26:selector" size="1" style="color: #7f0000">
         <option value="aad" selected="selected">Academic Advising</option>
     <option value="aaf">Academic Affairs</option>
     <option value="adm">Admission</option>
     <option value="up">Upward Bound</option>
</select>If I select "Admission" for example, the error I get is:
Conversion Error setting value 'adm' for 'null Converter'.Since everything is a String value, I don't get the error. Could someone please enlighten me.
Thanks.

Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

Welcome to the forum.
First thing that I would do would be to look at this Adobe KB Article to see if it helps.
Next, I would try the tips in this ARTICLE.
If that does not help, a Repair Install would definitely be in order.
Good luck,

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

Im DROWNING! need help with a simple java assignment! plz someone help me!

i need help with my java assignment, with validating a sin number. easy for must who know java. im drowning... please help!

You will need to store each digit of the social insurance number in a field of its own. To validate the entry you will:
1. Multiply the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th digit by 2.
2. If the product of any of the four multiplications result in a value greater than 9, add the two resulting digits together to yield a single-digit response. For example 6 * 2 = 12, so you would add the 1 and the 2 to get a result of 3.
3. Add these four calculated values together, along with the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th digits of the original number.
4. Subtract this sum from the next highest multiple of 10.
5. The difference should be equal to the 9th digit, which is considered the check digit.
Example of validating S.I.N. 765932546
1st digit 7
2nd digit (6*2 =12 1+2=) 3
3rd digit 5
4th digit (9*2 = 18 1+8 =) 9
5th digit 3
6th digit (2*2 = 4) 4
7th digit 5
8th digit (4*2 = 8) 8
Total 44 next multiple of 10 is 50
50-44 = 6 which is the 9th digit
Therefore the S.I.N. 765932546 is Valid
********* SIN Validation *********
Welcome - Please enter the first number: 120406780
Second digit value multiplied by 2 4
Fourth digit value multiplied by 2 8
Sixth digit value multiplied by 2 12
Eighth digit value multiplied by 2 16
Value derived from 6th digit 3
Value derived from 8th digit 7
The total is 30
Calculated digit is 10
Check digit must be zero because calculated value is 10
The SIN 120406780 is Valid
this is my assignemtn this is what i have! i dont know where to start! please help me!

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

I need help with a VB Application

I need help with building an application and I am on a tight deadline. Below I have included the specifics for what I need the application to do as well as the code that I have completed so far. I am having trouble getting the data input into
the text fields to save to a .txt file. Also, I need validation to ensure that the values entered into the text fields coincide with the field type. I am new to VB so please be gentle. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx
•I need to use the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog in my application.
•Also, I need to use a structure.
1. The application needs to prompt the user to enter the file name on Form_Load.
2. Also, the app needs to use the AppendText method to write the Employee Data to the text file. My project should allow me to write multiple Employee Data to the same text file. The data should be written to the text file in the following format (comma
delimited)
FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, EmployeeNumber, Department, Telephone, Extension, Email
3. The Department dropdown menu DropDownStyle property should be set so that the user cannot enter inputs that are not in the menu.
Public Class Form1
Dim filename As String
Dim oFile As System.IO.File
Dim oWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter
Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog()
Dim fileLocation As String
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "c:\"
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1
openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = True
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
fileLocation = openFileDialog1.FileName
End If
'filename = InputBox("Enter output file name")
'oWrite = oFile.CreateText(filename)
cobDepartment.Items.Add("Accounting")
cobDepartment.Items.Add("Administration")
cobDepartment.Items.Add("Marketing")
cobDepartment.Items.Add("MIS")
cobDepartment.Items.Add("Sales")
End Sub
Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByValsender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
'oWrite.WriteLine("Write e file")
oWrite.WriteLine("{0,10}{1,10}{2,10}{3,10}{4,10}{5,10}{6,10}{7,10}", txtFirstname.Text, txtMiddlename.Text, txtLastname.Text, txtEmployee.Text, cobDepartment.SelectedText, txtTelephone.Text, txtExtension.Text, txtEmail.Text)
oWrite.WriteLine()
End Sub
Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByValsender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click
oWrite.Close()
End
End Sub
Private Sub btnClear_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnClear.Click
txtFirstname.Text = ""
txtMiddlename.Text = ""
txtLastname.Text = ""
txtEmployee.Text = ""
txtTelephone.Text = ""
txtExtension.Text = ""
txtEmail.Text = ""
cobDepartment.SelectedText = ""
End Sub
End Class
