Hi there! First post (easy one I hope)

Hey Archers!
First time on the forums New to Arch and Linux as a whole--loving it though!
Just having one issue that's really giving me a headache: whenever I open a window in GNOME the greater portion of the window spawns above the top panel making it difficult to view/move. Just wondering if there's a way to change to default spawn location of a window. I tried the window behavior under system settings but I couldn't find any relevant options.
Does that make sense? Let me know if you need clarification. Probably a silly question, but I figured the combined genius of the forums would spare me some tears.
Thanks!

Please post a descriptive title. And do your own searching first, Arch encourages lots of DIY, not asking other people to do it for you. Closing.

Easy one I hope: How do I change text color?

For the life of me I can't seem to find anything with a color pallette (except for background fill). I need to change text color but don't know where to find it. Everything's always black. When I highlight the text, and goto "Font", I see something that looks like the "Select Text Color" (like the one above but as soon as you mouse over it, it turns to a crossed-out "ABC", and can't get the pallette.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Question: Are these fields that you had changed the type of in the Object Pallet/Field Tab/Type ? If so, try deleting the object and put a new one in its place from the Object Library.
If no, what sort of parent do these items have? Table Row? or SubForm?
Good luck!

Why is my macbook DVD player no longer playing commercial DVD's that it used to play perfectly? It reads the disc, but then says not permitted when I hit play. It is much older than 12 months warantee so I hope there is an easy fix?

The macbook reads a disc, and opens up DVD player but then says not permitted when I hit play, or any other button. Sometimes the initial music plays, but the screen remains black and then it all stops. These are shop bought DVD's that have previously worked on here, and work in DVD players, but have suddenly stopped. The computer is much older than the12 months warantee so I hope there is an easy fix? Thankyou!

Three things you can try:
1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
2. Perform an SMC reset:

I accidentally dropped my Iphone 5s on the ground which caused damage on the corner edge of the phone. Is there a hope this can get repaired? My phone is still within the first year warranty. I hope to hear from you. Thank you.

The standard iPhone warranty does not cover accidental damage. Apple will fix it, but they will charge the full repair cost.
The AppleCare+ warranty for the phone, which you can buy within 30 days of the iPhone purchase, does cover two incidents of accidental damage and repairs are charged at $75 I believe.
Your carrier warranty, if you have one, may cover accidental damage - check with them.

Closed first Post-BK card today. Liberated from Credit One!!!

I closed my first post-BK card today, the Credit One card. They tried hard to get me to stay, but bottom line was they couldn't or wouldn't waive the AF so I told them good bye. 1st offer> Reduction to 18.75% APR for 6 months. (ummm... declined..)2nd offer> Reduction to $24 AF for 6 months. (ummmmm... declined.) She finally closed it after 3 "close account" statements. I feel liberated to be free from Credit One!!

Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board. READ ME

Hi all. Well first off, let me start by saying that my whole life I've owned PC's. And I'm not hacker Elliet. But I've gotten to know them pretty well. All the way from Windows 3.1 that came out a long time ago (more than 10 years ago)
So after a while of hearing about MAC's I decided to start small and get an iPod (since they are so popular here in NYC) and see what apple was about. Well I really saw that Apple had a great product and started asking about their computers. And did plenty of research. And before the new Intel Macs came out, I was going to get a powerbook. But I had a feeling a new laptop was coming out and waited a lil while and sure enough. The Macbook Pro came out. So I went out and did all my research (as to this being the first real purchase of a Apple product and knew about the possible implications of a new first gen Intel chip in a apple product litterally making history) I knew I might become a new beta tester.
So I started looking on these boards and did 2 weeks worth of hard research to see if the Mac Book Pro (MBP) was for me. And after all the problems i saw (ex: The whine, Right speaker distortion, heat coming from it, white line at bottom of screen, etc) I never saw or read anything about AOL connectivity problems. And I know, I know... alot of you are probably going to gripe and complain about AOL sucking and yada yada yada, but please. Cut me some slack. I actually like AOL. I got on it back in 92 when it came out, and really enjoyed it. And have been on it since. I like chatting on there, and so forth. And I hope you help with my problem instead of telling me to go get "a real ISP" I do have a real ISP, but I like my AOL too.
So now to my problem....
I have a Sony Viao 1.8ghz PC with 512 ram, 80 gig hard drive, 10/100 ethernet port. Connected to a Belkin Router (more info below on specs of router) connected to Opt Online Broadband Cable internet with VoIP. I use my macbook pro on the wireless network at my home.
I got a mac book pro 1.83 ghz running 512 ram on Tiger OSX 10.4.6 I thought that I would wait till a connectivity patch (which I thought would have been 10.4.6) fix the airport problems came out till I posted something. But now that I've tried everything, I'm hoping you open this thread and help me and possibly someone else out there as well. I just d/l'd and installed the 10.4.6 update last night and it did'nt help. So here's more info on my specs. I have a belkin router wireless G 2.4 ghz 54mbs router and I have configured the router with it's firewall, wap2 encryption (as it's the only selection the router has that is available that matches what airport comes with in encryption) I hid my network, and have tried to upgrade the firmware on the router.
Now Here's the real problem. I can connect to AOL on my MBP when I connect the actual ethernet cable to the MBP's Ethernet port (after I have let the cable modem do a hard reset to configure itself to a mac) I can connect to AOL. But when I disconnect the cable and return it to it's normal config, I can't connect to AOL. I can connect to the internet via safari, and firefox, and even AOL's IM on iChat. I can use Itunes all kinds of things. I can even play warcraft 3 wirelessly on battlenet. But connecting to AOL is a pain in the @$$. It's the only proggy I have that won't allow it to connect. I keep getting the error message "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." Of course All i see for a while is the spinning black and white circle. And it goes through step 1 and 2, goes straight to 6. Then it goes blank, and BAM! That message pops up. And what's so frustrating is that I've tried every possible configuration on AOL, my router and even system preferences, for it to let connect. I even went into system preferences on the mac and went down the the Internet & Network "Sharing" icon and tried 100 possible combinations on that in the services tab, and firewall tab. I've turned them on, off, tried to make exceptions ETC. And no matter how much I play with the personal file sharing and windows sharing advanced settings and sigh every possible combination to make AOL connect via wirelessly. And nothing. I then even tried to fix the connection under AOL in setup. I've gone through and selected TCP Script, Airport Script. Cable Script, And practically every script I can think of. And nothing. I even went on to AOL and downloaded thier alleged fix to wireless accessing AOL. And nothing. I've been searching all over google, AOL's website, and all over these discussion boards and no mention of anyone even having the same problem. But please, someone out there with their infinit knowledge of how Macs run and having more experience than me, Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board anywhere reguarding a mac. A MBP at that too.
An update to this, But amazingly enough, I actually got it to connect to AOL wirelessly for the first time yest. But I have no Idea how i did it. I tried for 3 hours to reproduce it and no luck. I was accessing my router at it's website config screen and somehow I clicked on connect to AOL and while it was trying to connect to it, i reset the router and BAM, it connected to AOL. And I was in shock. I thought I solved it. Somewhere while it was reseting the router it connected and stayed connected to AOL till I signed off and tried to sign back on to see if I could now connect, and guess what. The same dumb message keeps popping up "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." And all I did was sign off to test it, thinking I had fixed the problem. I tried for 3 hours like I stated above, and BAM got it connected to AOL wirelessly again (somehow while the router was resetting). And thinking I fixed it, or figured out the trick to getting it to work, signed off... I kissed aol goodbye again. And have been unable to reproduce the "glitch". SIGH Can someone out there please help me?
I think I've made this message as detailed as possible, but please, can someone give me some constructive criticism on how to fix my AOL wireless connectivity problems. Do you know if it's my router? My MBP? AOL software? BTW, I got AOL software version 10.3.7 (Rev 4136.310 US) The latest version I D/L'ed from the AOL website. Anyone know If I should turn on or off some things such as personal fire sharing on, or firewall off or on? ANYTHING. Please. I've put alot of time into writing this post and making it as detailed as possible. And been having this problem for the past 3 weeks that I've had my MBP, and have waited long enough to use my AOL. If you need any further information or suggestions on making AOL work, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, and I really appreciate all of you in the time you take in responding back in trying to help me. I'll be monitoring this post almost hourly. So I hope someone out there can help. Thanks so much again. And help me make this transition to Mac a pleasant one knowing that there is a mac community out there willing to help a new mac client. Again, Many thanks

I FIXED IT!
FYI for the rest of you that might be having the same problem. DON'T USE A BELKIN ROUTER WITH AOL ON A MBP!!!!! It ***** wirelessly. or even hard connected, it won't connect. I went to best buy today, and got a refund on the belkin. I then went to J&R and got a D-Link router. And now it works perfect. I can now chat on AOL yet again, and I tried all the other web browsers I have and messengers, and warcraft 3 online via battlenet. And it works great. I want to give you guys a special thanks for taking time out to answer back to my post. FYI! Belkin wireless G routers do not connect you to AOL wirelessly on MBP's. No matter how much you mess around on them. I highly recommend a D-Link Router. They are easy to set up as long as you READ ( AND I MEAN IT!!!) read the instructions before you set anything up on it. Use the CD that it comes with, and you'll be good to go. Set it up and it works great Almost no dead zones in the house, and now I can use the MBP with all it's cababilities. Thanks people. I really appreciate it.
P.S. I called belkin last night when i decided to get a refund on my router for today and when i talked to the tech, after puersuading him to tell me the truth. And stop BS'ing me, he broke down and admited that AOL does not work wirelessly on MBP's. So to make a long story short this time, There you go. And one last note, I'm very happy now with my d-link router. I honestly thought it would suck. Not being a brand name router or anything. But amazingly, it works like a brand name item! Again, many thanks all.

Volume, Dissolves, 50% - An easy one for most of you I'm sure.

Hi everyone. First time poster here. I hope someone can help me out. I'm a wedding videographer.
I need to know a few things that will speed up the process of editing a little bit. I'm editing SD footage with Final Cut Pro on a fast G5.
I have 30 four-second clips on the timeline and I want to reduce the volume on all of the clips to -12 in one go. Is this possible? I don't want to have to keep on doing them all manually together?
Let's say I have a similar sequence of shots later on in the timeline. This time, I want to make all of the short clips a speed of 50%, in one go, instead of having to do it all manually, one by one. It's very time-consuming this way. Well, it takes two minutes, but I'd rather not do it.
Also, if there are simple one or two second dissolves between all of these short clips -- how do I go and take away all of the dissolves in one go, so it's just straight cuts?
Appreciate the help.
Message was edited by: Roman Bridger

Hi Shane
I did this and it's selecting ALL of the dissolves on the timeline. I wasn't thinking that far ahead.
I'm doing a highlights sequence at the end of a wedding DVD with footage that is copied and pasted into the end of the timeline from elsewhere in the project. This is the reason why I want to get rid of the dissolves and other transitions, so I can start editing this piece fresh. I suppose I could open a new timeline and do it in that.
I need ALL of the transitions to go, if possible, including Dip to Color Dissolves etc. If it's not possible to do all of the transitions in one go, I can do it in two. However, I'd like to be able to do all of this on the one timeline. For example, if I do it the way you said above, I will end up deleting previous dissolves in the timelines (during the speeches, dancing, ceremony etc).
Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks!

First post - global track commands...???

Hi all,
Great Forum...this is my first post...
I figured out how to change the tracks volume and thus create a fade at the end of a section... I repeated the process successfully on the other tracks... but is there a way to make one change and have it affect every track? Can you affect audio and instrument tracks using the same command?
I used global track component volume and then created dot points on the bar and lowered the last point (the last inch) creating a quick fade... am I missing a fade command somewhere that will simplify this process?
Thanks for the help.. love the forum

hi
I'm not sure if i understand your question fully... are you asking if you can copy automation to different tracks?
The answer is yes! You need to be in automation mode for this....(i really recommend reading Chapter 7, page 313 of the reference manual).
anyway, on the track with the volume automated fade... hold shift and select all the nodes you want to copy. Now press apple - C to copy. Go to the track you wanna copy to and press apple - V.
Ok. that presumes you're using automation? Now Hyperdraw works in a different way - that also automates values such as volume, pan etc but is region based not track based...
Another tip, if you want to fade the whole song then just automate the volume fade on the master OUT 1-2 track.
Also, if you need to fade just a particular audio region you can use the fade tool found in the toolbox.
Hope that helps
Rounik

Where is my first post?

Where is my first post that I posted on here yesterday? If is was deleted the least u could have done was let me know.I still say it was a big mistake to buy this Beats all in one because the beats audio is a joke. I get better sound from a transistor radio with one speaker and that is not an exaggeration.The ad's were for this edition were misleading.I see maybe it got deleted for including info that Hp considers private. there is an issue with these units as per my conversation with an hp tech so why not let everyone know about it.
This question was solved.

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

We just received our new mac and took it to the store to have the old files from our last computer transferred over. Now we can't find all our files. There was more then one user on the old machine. How can we find the files from the other users?

We need to find where the files for the other user on the computer are now located. There were two other users on the old machine, which was taken into the store and ALL files were suppose to be transferred over to this computer. HELP!

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

Hi there! First post (easy one I hope)
