How can I set Metronome to be OFF by default, besides creating a template file?

Default setting for the Metronome was always OFF until I upgraded to iLife '11.
From an archived thread on this topic, I was reminded of the technique of creating a template file to open with instead of "Create a New File", but that's a hassle to remember and find. And you have to remember to "Save as..." as soon as you get started.

The Metronome is on every time I open any of my previous files, even after I turn it off. The next time I open the file, it's on again.  Impossible to stop that?
If the answer is "no", then this is a BUG in this version of GarageBand.  Can't Apple developers correct that and issue an update?

  • How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

    Basic Overview
    I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
    Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
    However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
    At Home
    If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
    At School
    At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
    Question
    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
    I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
    Thanks you to everyone who helps!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player.  So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home?  Flash Player Projector?
    If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

  • New iMac 21.5". How can I set up a new user account with access to all the files of the original user account?

    Running Mavericks on a 2013 iMac 21.5". I want to set up a second user account with different settings that meet the requirements of specific software. I need the files to be accessible by both users. I have made both the main and secondary accounts administrators. I have also enabled file sharing for both. Neither account can see the other's files in Finder.
    How can I make all files accessible to both accounts? I read that administrator accounts automatically can see all files on the computer, but it is not working out that way. I have restarted the computer, to no avail.

    Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991539#answer-547878
    The server settings are given [http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/setting-up-thunderbird/ here], but the method is for Online account setup.

  • How can I set the OS to show list view when I open a file in an application.

    So I know you can chose view options in Finder to always show files in list view there. But how do you set the OS to do the same when opening files in an application.

    Okay, cheers, so I guess it's stored in the application prefs. I just installed Snow L last week and it bothered me that everytime I opened a document I had to set my pref again. I wasn't aware that it was storing it for that particular app though cause I'm using so many differnt apps. But you are right, it does store for the individual app. Cheers for the answer!

  • I can't set the photoshop CS6 as a default program to open jpg file on my windows 7 64bit computer?

    I reintalled 3 times for CS6 but the default program associated with jpg file still is unknown application.
    I try to change the default program, I can see the photoshop cs6 icon at the Adobe program folder.
    But just can be selected.

    I would recommend contacting Adobe Tech Support for this as playing with registry is quite dangerous , your computer may crash.
    Still if you want to try , first create the System Restore point and Backup your Registry , just incase something goes wrong.
    In regedit: Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your .exe name.
    Navigate under its name to shell>open>command. In the Default change its location to the actual location of the executable, hit okay and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.

  • How can I batch turn on/turn off layers in a large group of files

    I lifted this code from another discussion that purports to say it works, but it doesn't.
    I keep getting the Error: Object does not support the property or method 'length'
    I've looked at other batch process scripts that that line of code seems to be correct.
    I know this is a very simple script, and that the turn on/turn off layer part of the script works perfectly fine (on individuall pages), but for some reason I can't get it to batch process.
    I have a multi-version set of files with layers such as "de" for germany, "us" for United States, etc. that I need to batch turn on so that I can print.
    Here is what I have:
    var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Indesign Folder");
    var myIndsnFiles = myFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
    for(k=0; k<myIndsnFiles.length; k++)
       var myIndsnFiles = app.open(myIndsnFiles[k]);
    var myIndsnFiles = app.documents[0];
    var answersLayer = myIndsnFiles.layers.item("us");
    answersLayer.visible = false;
        app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.yes);
    Can you fix/explain what I'm doing wrong?

    I got Sergey's Version to work. See below. It's very different than my original. I understood why my original wasn't working, but couldn't figure out how to fix it. I tried inserting Laubender's code into this, but I got the same error as above "Object does not support the property or method 'length'".
    I made some adjustments so that the script turns off all layers that should be off, then turns on the layer I need.
    Everything runs perfect except I wonder if there's a way I can turn off any warnings, such as missing links, so that it processes the whole batch without pausing. Maybe that's what Laubender was referring to.
    var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Indesign Folder");
    if( myFolder != null )
        var myIndsnFiles = myFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
        for( var k = myIndsnFiles.length -1; k >= 0; k--)
            try
                var myDoc = app.open(myIndsnFiles[k]);
    var inLayer = myDoc.layers.item("in");
    inLayer.visible = false;
    var itLayer = myDoc.layers.item("it");
    itLayer.visible = false;
    var deLayer = myDoc.layers.item("de");
    deLayer.visible = false;
    var ukLayer = myDoc.layers.item("uk");
    ukLayer.visible = false;
    var usLayer = myDoc.layers.item("us");
    usLayer.visible = false;
    var intLayer = myDoc.layers.item("INT");
    intLayer.visible = false;
    deLayer.visible = true;
                myDoc.close(SaveOptions.yes);
            } catch ( error ) {};// try-catch

  • How can I set OWA to use Public by default and hide that section from OWA?

    I have an Exchange 2013 deployment that needs a customized OWA page.  I've already run Set-OwaVirtualDirectory "ex1\owa*" -LogonPagePublicPrivateSelectionEnabled $True to show the Public option.  I've also edited the logon.aspx
    file to set the checkbox to be unchecked by default.  My problem is I need to hide that entire line, I don't want users to see that section at all as if I never ran the above command.  When I was testing hiding it with <!-- --> it hid it but
    caused that piece to stop working as it went back to private.  Has anyone been able to accomplish this or can clue me in on how to do this?  Thank you in advance.

  • How can I set up firefox (latest version) to default to opening things in a new window and not a new tab.

    there is an option in firefox (latest version)(for windows7) to 'open new windows in a tab instead' what I want to do is to 'open new tabs in a window instead' Is this possible and how do I go about it

    Hi,
    There is an option called "browser.link.open_newwindow" which when set to 2 should open links, that would normally open in a new window, in a new window.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.
    I can't think of an add-on that will do this for you.
    You can always right click on the link and choose "Open Link in new Window" :-).

  • How can I set the font size of a form field in the fdf file?

    I need to dynamically set the font size of a field to accommodate text of varying length, automatic font size won't work in this case. It seems like this can be done in the FDF but I have tried several variants without success. Could someone help out with a real example of what the syntax in the fdf should look like.
    I am using Acrobat Professional 8.1 but the created fdf will need to work with Reader also.

    I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.

  • How can I set New Tab Plus as my default tab?

    When I would open a new tab, New Tab Plus would come up, then I could select from my apps that I had added on there. Tonight we had a quick power outage (under 1 minute) while I was out and when I opened Mozilla (that part came up correctly) and clicked to open a new tab, New Tab Plus should have come up, but didn't. I'm not very computer literate, so I'm not sure how to get New Tab Plus to come up when I open a new tab. I even tried reinstalling but I can't remember how to have it as I had it before.

    I strongly suggest that you buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
    Some of them also have software that, if the UPS is out of juice, it
    will safely shut down the computer.

  • How Can I make the toggle navigation OFF a default for an user

    HI, working with ISS6 Windows 2003 and Xir2 (SP3) I am trying to make one specific user (Or all users) to have hidden (grapped) by default the navigation panel in Infoview, but this setting seems to pick the default (Display=true) not from the user's session, but from someplace else.
    What can I do to avoid the Infoview to display the folder tree under the navigation panel?
    Thanks

  • How can I set a fixed scrap qty on planned orders created by MRP?

    During production of some specific subassemblies, destructive testing is done that requires us to scrap two pieces per production order.  I know I can set an assembly scrap percent, but what I need instead is a way to set a fixed assembly scrap quantity that will get loaded onto every planned order created by MRP for these subassemblies.  If we can't do this, we can't plan the correct order quantity and eventually end up being short of parts.  I know we can set a safety stock or safety time, but I'd rather just plan the right quantities if possible.
    Is there a user exit, configuration option, or master data setting that will allow me to do this?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Hi Randy
    This can be solved by one solution. _You can try this._
    You define the same item in BOM again with qty 2 nos. Double click on the item no. Then it will take you to item detail. There in Basic data tab page at quantity data  ( Tick the fixed quantity. ).
    When ever BOM explodes for the header material automatically The item will be exploded 2 nos extra.
    Ex
    The header is Mat X and items is Mat Y. While creating BOM for X give item Mat Y in item no 10. give the quantity as per the requirement.
    And again give item Mat Y in items no 20. give quantity 2 nos and activate the fixed quantity tick as instructed above.
    When ever requirement for Mat X is 100 nos. The plan order for Y will be 102 nos .
    Hope this will clear.
    Regards

  • How can I set Toolbar in Finder Window as default ?

    If I click new folder window (N) sometimes I get it with the toolbar and sometimes not. Is there anyway to set this as a default ? I can't find it in view/customize toolbar and I can't think where else it could be.
    In Leopard (clean install) I also find that my side toolbar doesn't always respond the way it should. My side toolbar has a couple of sub folders and main folders that I use really regularly. I prefer list view. Again, sometimes, if I have clicked on a subfolder and then want to use the side toolbar to navigate up to the parent folder (easier, I find, if you are in list view, than other approaches), then the system refuses to respond.
    Does anyone else have the same problems ?
    Thanks

    I was running into what may have been a similar problem with the toolbar not showing up on some of my Finder windows. Trashing /Volumes/Macintosh HD/.DS_Store solved it for me (you'll obviously need to change "Macintosh HD" if you've renamed your boot volume). Your mileage may vary..

  • How can I set Leopard to extend it's search function to my Library files?

    Well, the subject it pretty much my question... Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply. this way it searched the file system, but not the folders inside the file system that had the name I was after. Is there anyway to make it search everything, by default?
