How can I set the date field to auto populate the current date?

I have many forms to create where the current date dictates a specific change in options or conditions for the form filler to follow. I cannot see any way to handle that issue. Is it possible to simply set the current date as a default?

Sorry, we currently do not support having today's date show up in a date field by default

You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:

There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

* Where have they acknowledged anything?
** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up. Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
Thanks for any suggestions

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.

How can I set a gap in a JTextField, before the active Textfield starts?

Hi,
how can I set a gap in a JTextField, before the active Textfield starts?
I'll avoid, that the input text starts immediately after the border of the JTextField.
Btw, how can I set the height of the JTextField in a BoxLayout?
Thx.
Hans

Yes, that was also my thinking, but nothing happens.
Maybe You have an idea :-)
Thx, Hans
Here a part of my code:
private JPanel createEntry(String label, JTextField jtf, String initJtf, boolean editable) {
    jtf.setColumns(15);
    if (editable) {
      jtf.setEditable(true);
      jtf.setBackground(new Color(191, 191, 255));
    else {
      jtf.setEditable(false);
      jtf.setBackground(SystemColor.control);
    jtf.setText(initJtf);
    jtf.setForeground(Color.black);
    jtf.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder());
    jtf.setMargin(new Insets(50, 20, 50, 40));   // <- The PROBLEM
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    GridLayout gl = new GridLayout(1, 2);
    gl.setHgap(1);
    panel.setLayout(gl);
    panel.add(BxpCdmUtils.Utils.createLabel(label, Color.darkGray, Font.BOLD, 11));
    panel.add(jtf);
    JPanel superpanel = new JPanel();
    superpanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(superpanel, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
    superpanel.add(panel);
    superpanel.add(new JLabel(" "));
    return superpanel;

How can i set a column which would show me the name of the user

how can i write a trigger which would show me the name of the user now make changes in the table.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/functions227.htm#SQLRF06156
you would write a before each row trigger to update an "updated_by" column on your table to be USER.
e.g.:
:new.updated_by := USER;

How can I set a polygon's path by using the .add() function?

I have been searching the web and this forum and doing plenty of experimenting, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
I can set other attributes of a polygon inside the add() parentheses, such as the fillColor, but I can't set the polygon's path's pathPoints unless I use a separate line of code after the add(); line.
My script adds a great deal of polygons in a row, so halving the number of operations would greatly help me, and also it seems that some properties such as appliedObjectStyle cannot be set until after a polygon's path is defined. That means I need a third line of code after add() and entirePath=, which slows me down even more.
Help?

Ryan, I think you need to reset and take a moment to understand what it is that is going on here.
The things you've proposed that don't work shouldn't work, and it's all quite simple.
Generally speaking, a .add() function takes an additional parameter, a JavaScript Object, that list properties of the created object that can be set.
A JavaScript Object is a list of key/value pairs, just like an associative array in a language like perl, or a dictionary in a language like Python. It is expressed in curly braces as such:
{ key1: value1, key2: value2, key3: value3}
So, for any such general add function, these
foo = whatever.add();
foo.bar = baz;
are equivalent to this:
foo = whatever.add({bar: baz});
Are you with me? So, for instance, you had originally asked why you could not use pathPoints in polygons.add() and the answer is simpe. You cannot set polygon.pathPoints, because there is no .pathPoints property of a polygon.
So, when you want to try add properties inside properties, you must do as as objects within objects, and follow the strict hierarchy. Marc advises that this works:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120}}
and if indeed that is so, then the extension for setting multiple transparencySettings should be clear. It is not this, that you propose:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120}}
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {distance:1}}
Because to do so is to set the transparencySettings key twice in the same Object. And to do that is to replace the first with the second. The above (yours) is wholly equavelent to:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {distance:1}}
If you wish to set more than one attribute of dropShadowSettings, you must set transparencySettings to an object containing one and only one dropShadowSettings, and you must do it only once. So it is this:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings:
      {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120, distance: 1}}
I am not sure why you thought you should have the name of the key in the Object named properties. That is probably because in some cases you can use:
foo.properties = { a: 1, b: 2};
as a shorthand for
foo.a=1;
foo.b=2;
but you would [probably] never want to mix that with the object notation for setting multiple properties in the .add() function.
Does this help to clarify?
As for your last question:
Also, it doesn't let me use square brackets or parentheses inside the add() parentheses, so the original problem I posted (trying to set a polygon's path) is still a problem.
It's not about the use of brackets or parentheses, but what they mean and where they go. As you have not posted an example of setting the polygon's path the long way, it's hard to show you how to shorten it. Post what you have that works, and we will show you how to shorten it. (I suppose some with more patience than I are willing to go look up what we think it is you are trying to do, and then interpret it. But I would much rather you show me the code you have that works, and then your attempts to transform or shorten it and change its notation. This makes it much much easier to help you, and it should also make the help more effective, by contextualizing it. As an added benefit, when someone else reads your post and tries to learn from it, they will gain more.)
So again, please provide a clear example of the "long way" to do the thing you are attempting, and then your attempt at shortening it.

How can I set up two i tunes accounts on the same i mac for different profiles

I have set up two profiles on my new i mac. I now want to access two different i tunes accounts but when downloading the second account I get a message saying the computer is already set up with an apple id and if you download you can not auto download !! for 90 days ??? I don't understand this

Jus don't turn on Autodownload (iTunes prefs > Store).
Autodownload simply tells iTunes to automaticall download items if you purchase them elsewhere (such as a different computer or iPhone/iPad).
You can still download them when your purchase them on the computer or go to iTunes store in iTunes, select Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.

Auto populate system Current date in Info path form textbox

Hi,
I want to display system current date in info path when user opens new form.I have placed a text box and added now function and in format selected do not display time option.
When i preview the form everything works as expected.the date is displaying like mm/dd/yyyy format without time :)
But after publishing the same form to share point list when i open the form from browser the text box is not showing current date
Instead it is showing yesterday's date :(
Can anyone help me to resolve the issue.
Regards,
Poovi

Hi Poovi,
According to your description, you want to enable the text box to show the current date when opening the form from browser. However, the date that your text box displayed
in the SharePoint site page is different from the
one in the InfoPath Designer.
In InfoPath, the date displayed is the same as the system date. However, the date displayed in the SharePoint site
page depends on the Regional
settings of a site other
than system date.
As a solution, you could set the time zone in Regional settings of a site if needed.
Here is a link about how to change the Regional settings of a site, you could use as a reference:

How can I place a text field not directly on the left of the page but with an indent to the right?

Hi everybody,
I try to create a form in which I want to enter several item under each other
general info        Item 1               Item 2
                         Name 1            Name 2
                        Item 3               Item 4
and so on.
Since it is not possible to insert a table for something like that I would like to enter seperate text fields one underneath the other.
But every new line starts on the left side and I do not see any way to move a text field to the right with an indent so that "item 1", "Name 1" and "item 3" are aligned the same.
Can anybody give me a hint?
Thanks a lot and have a good 2015!
Oliver

Hi,
Insert a blank "Formatted Text" field on the far left, and shrink it down as much as you wish. Then insert your normal text field to the right of that.
I hope that helps,

How can I set up tablet shortcut menu button for the middle button my X230T?

I think I have a faulty X230T, there are now only three tablet buttons and the middle does not do anything. I have installed 7wg737.exe (tablet short menu for Win7), but it does nothing.
When I go into Tablet PC setting>buttons, only one button shows up and that's the screen rotation button.
Is there a way to assign the middle button to shortcut menu? Otherwise I'm unable to change brightness or volumn during tablet mode which would make this tablet unusable.

Can i insert a box which will auto populate the time and date it was last updated

there are going to be a few people updating the same form. I was to insert an autopoulate box which will insert the local date and time?.

Then create a text field in the location where you want the date to appear (let's call it "CurrentTime"), and then go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScript and create a new item with this code:
this.getField("CurrentTime").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", new Date());
You can adjust the date format string, if you wish.

How can I set Address Book to stop auto importing all addresses

My Addresss Book seems to add any and all email addresses, willy nilly, from emails sent me. I have over 3000 entries , most of which are addresses I do not know.
I want this to stop.
What setting do I use? Where? I only want addresses which I decide to add
Advice will be very welcome.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all Mac users!

First off Firefox is an Internet browser and does not deal with email addresses or have an address book to add them to. Secondly I cannot think of a good reason to add the address of each piece of spam to the Thunderbird address book.
There are addons that will pick out addresses from incoming email and add them to the Thunderbird address book. I suggest you search through the add on list for one that fits your needs.
