How can i use 2 mice on my mac - so kids can play 2 player games at once?
How can I set up 2 mice on my Mac - so kids can play a 2 player computer game together?
Time Star is PC based software and is designed to run in MS Windows. You can run MS Windows on your MBP however you will at a minimum need a license of MS Windows check with the Time Star manufacturer to see what version of WIndows you will need. Assuming it can run on Windows 7 you have many choices including:
Run Boot Camp, this is the least expensive way however it means you cannot simultaneously run OS X. Boot Camp is free and is pre-installed on you MBP.
The next option is to run emulation software such as Parallels or Fusion. For this type of app this is the strategy I'd recommend if you must run Time Star because it allows one to simultaneously operate Windows and OS X.
However when you run MS Windows on a Mac in either emulation or Boot Camp that portion of the Mac is susceptible to all the issues PC's have such as viruses and other malware so you need to take proper precautions.
My recommendation would be to search to see if there is either a OS X version of Time Star (contact the manufacturer) or start looking for a replacement app that is designed to run in OS X.

How Can i Block the Work Center Once is used in Maintainence Order
Dear Experts,
How Can i Block the Work Center Once is used in Maintainence Order in PM module.
In standard its not blocking the Work Center automatically. How this can be achieved.
Regards
Raghu
Edited by: raghu m on Apr 21, 2009 10:36 AMHi Muthukumar,
1. You can using the user exit or BADI to control this.
CONFPP01 PP order conf.: Determine customer specific default values
CONFPP02 PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks 1
CONFPP03 PP order conf.: Cust. specific check after op. selection
CONFPP04 PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks 2
CONFPP05 PP order conf.: Customer specific enhancements when saving
CONFPP06 PP Order Confirmations: Actual Data Transfer
CONFPP07 Single Screen Entry: Inclusion of User-Defined Subscreens
BADI
WORKORDER_CONFIRM
the above are the user exits that are available fro the CO11N tcode.
2. we have to take a help of the abaper to write coding fort his.
3. The user exit should be called for the
Work Center : YYYYY
then check the relevant Work Center Once is used in open Maintainence Order and if it has a entry if then give a error message else allow the CO11N to perform.

How can play 3D movies on a screen using MacBookPro and Apple TV?
If I Have a stored 3D movies on an external hard drive, how can play it using my MacBookPro?
I haven't heard of any 3D consumer level video cameras, so the content must be produced commercially, is copyrighted and most likely has been copy protected/cracked/P2Ped and now your asking us how to play it back on your Mac/AppleTV in violation of this sites rules of conduct with easily established id's and IP addresses where the stolen content can be found.
This is a open forum, the results of these posts are almost immediately indexed by Google's spiders, making it incredibly easy for the MIAA to find your post, which they then can send a supoena to Apple for your IP address, then to your ISP for your exact name and address, compare your IP to those they record P2P-ing online.
I can't say if Apple will cooperate with the MIAA or not, they do sell movie content thus the MIAA does have some leverage, Apple could ask the MIAA not to disclose their involvement in locating you, the MIAA could lie and say they saw you P2P-ing the content.
If your scared, that's good, it's a heck of a lot less expensive than a lawsuit over some stupid free movies. -
How can I repeat a for loop, once it's terms has been fulfilled???
Well.. I've posted 2 different exceptions about this game today, but I managed to fix them all by myself, but now I'm facing another problem, which is NOT an error, but just a regular question.. HOW CAN I REPEAT A FOR LOOP ONCE IT HAS FULFILLED IT'S TERMS OF RUNNING?!
I've been trying many different things, AND, the 'continue' statement too, and I honestly think that what it takes IS a continue statement, BUT I don't know how to use it so that it does what I want it too.. -.-'
Anyway.. Enought chit-chat. I have a nice functional game running that maximum allows 3 apples in the air in the same time.. But now my question is: How can I make it create 3 more appels once the 3 first onces has either been catched or fallen out the screen..?
Here's my COMPLETE sourcecode, so if you know just a little bit of Java you should be able to figure it out, and hopefully you'll be able to tell me what to do now, to make it repeat my for loop:

Updated to IOS 5.0.1 and now if I tap on a game icon instead of opening the game a grayish color comes over it and nothing happens. How can I get my games to work again?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -

camro1050 wrote:
Yes I mean 2 video side by side. How do I do that in iMovie 11?
From iMovie Help:
To add a side-by-side clip:
Make sure Advanced Tools are turned on.
Open the project you want to add the side-by-side clip to so that it’s showing in the Project browser.
In the Event browser, select a video clip or a frame range that you want to use as a side-by-side clip, and then drag it over a clip in your project.When you see the green Add symbol, release the mouse button.
In the contextual menu that appears, choose “Side by Side.”In the Project browser, the side-by-side clip appears with a blue border around it above the video clip you added it to, at roughly the spot where you added it (toward the beginning, middle, or end of the clip).
Depending on the length of the side-by-side clip you added, it may extend beyond the clip you added it to (only if there’s another clip after the clip you added the side-by-side clip to). You can drag the split-screen clip so that it begins at a different point in the main clip. To reposition where the split-screen clip appears in the project, drag it to a different clip.
Play back the effect by placing the playhead (the red vertical line) anywhere before the side-by-side clip in the Project browser, and then pressing the Space bar.Press the Space bar again to stop playback.

How can I add new games without overwriting the old ones?
I have just purchased two new games in the itunes store and although they are showing in the library (under applications) my previously purchased games are not. In Summary under games it will not let me choose selected games only 'all games' and when I press sync warns that the existing games will be replaced. How can I add these games without deleting the older ones? Also if I did want to remove a game from my ipod how do I do it?
hardlyquinn wrote:
Part of the problem is that I can never sync the whole thing as I dont keep all my music in my library (it seems silly to have my enture cd collection on the computer).
Clearly it ISN'T silly as it avoid issues like you are having right now. If you need more space, get an external hard drive. To me it is much sillier to only have your stuff on the iPod and no where else as the iPod, as a small portable player, is much more likely to be dropped, lost, damaged, stolen, forgotten somewhere, etc.
While I am not familiar with the use of games on the iPod (I have never bought any) you can switch the iPod to manually manage and then you can add content to your iPod without losing what is already there. Perhaps it works for games as well.
But long term, I strongly suggest you keep all your stuff in your library so if you need to (you have to perform a restore on the iPod, you lose it and buy a new one, etc.) you can very easily sync it all back to the iPod when needed.
Good luck,

How can i install windows games in my macbook pro
I m a game lover but since i've macbook pro,i haven't played any game on my macbook...so guys please tell me how can i install windows games to my macbook pro.
As eww said, that computer isn't specifically made for gaming. To get advanced graphics in a game, your computer needs what is called a "discrete" graphics processor, or GPU. This means a seperate chip that processes graphics. In Apple laptops, these are only found in the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. It is not common to find these in laptops in general that are not expensive and high-end. What you have in yours is an "on-board" or "integrated" GPU. This means that graphics processing is done by a small portion of your main processor (the Intel i5 board). This takes away a portion of primary prossessing and dedicates it to graphics. This works perfectly find in most scenarios, but video rendering, gaming, and 3-D graphics tend to suffer. Most high-end, modern games require discrete GPUs to run at full quality these days.
As far as running Windows 7 and Mac OS both, yes you absolutely can. If you install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (this would require you to have a Windows 7 CD), when you turn on your computer it will default to opening up in Mac OS. But if you hold down the Option key (bottom of the keyboard next to the Command button) while the computer is booting up, it will ask you if you want to open Windows or Mac OS. -
