How do I get the clock to tick?

I want to synchronise an activity with the Mac clock. The easy way to do this would be if the computer would audibly tick every second. Sounds simple but I cannot find a way to do it. Can anyone suggest a solution? The answer is probably very simple.

zanyjudy,
I don't believe there is any way you can set the clock to make a ticking sound. :/
What I do know is that you can set your clock to display seconds...I am not sure if this would help you, but here is how:
System Preferences > Time and Date > check the "Display Time with Seconds" box. The seconds should display in the menu bar next to the time. Hope it helps you!

HT5557 I've always been able to see the clock at the top of the screen in iPad iBooks, but the clock has now disappeared unless I tap at the stop of the screen. How can I get the clock to stay at the top of the screen?

I've always been able to see the clock at the top of the screen in iPad iBooks, but the clock has now disappeared unless I tap at the stop of the screen. How can I get the clock to stay at the top of the screen?

cktan124: I searched around and found the iPad does not have a PRAM.
Anyone else want to guess?
I found many folks here trying to hide of the clock, but I need the clock. I use a PDF on my iPad for my notes when I am speaking in front of an audience. I need the clock so I can kep track of time.

I accidentally deleted my "clock/alarm" app. How do I get the icon back?

I was moving apps and accidentally deleted the clock/alarm app. I can "search" and get my alarms, but I still can't get the icon to move it to my home screen. How do I get the icon back?

I've looked in other folders and screens and can't locate it. I understand that there are apps that can't be deleted and this is one of them....I've tried several ways to locate it and can't.

How can I get the X and Y coordinates of an object in Xcode, ApplescriptObjc?

How can I get the value of a specified object's X and Y coordinates in Xcode, using ApplescriptObjc? I'm hoping for something like:
myObject's currentPosition()
// Which would return {150, 100} for the X and Y of that object.

Actually this is straight from basic physics
Assuming that the x and y values you get using that AppleScript/Objective-C code is accurate, to move the object you would do
set x to x + dx * speed
set y to y + dx * speed
with dx and dy being an integer with a value of -1 or 1 which indicates the direction the object is moving. Remember the origin in OS X is the middle of the frame or screen with positive x and y values moving to the upper right quadrant, and negative x and y values moving to the lower left. Your basic Cartesian coordinate system. Speed is also an interger and models the speed of the object.
Once you've set x and y to their new values you would write them back to the object.
This is so I can find how much distance (in pixels) is being travelled when I animate an object to move from one position to another, to apply it to my desired velocity (of pixels per second), to find out how long the object should take to move.
This part has got me stumped.
To make an object move you need to change its x and y coordinates. To get smooth animation you need to change them on a regular schedule at a rate fast enough to avoid jerky motion. Given the refresh rate of most monitors and other factors a rate of 60 times per second gives good results. Between each tick of the clock you change the x and y coordinates by some amount, the size of the amount will model speed. Add a small change and the object moves slowly, add a big amount and the object moves quickly. Keep the amount of change constant and the object will move at a constant speed. Increase (or decrease) the amount of change between each tick and the object will accelerate (or decelerate)

How can i get rid of pops/ticks on certain tracks in logic7

how can i get rid of pops/ticks on certain tracks in logic 7

I don't know if I can help you with what's been recorded but may be able to assist in getting rid of the problem.
1. Don't know if the MOTU has a reset procedure on the rack unit, if so, do that first.
2. Turn off/disable wireless if you're using it.
3. In Logic raise the I/O buffers to 128
4. If you have a different slot, move the 424 card. One slot was noisy on many Macs.
(5) As mentioned, Make sure the audio interface is using Internal clock.

Battery life suddenly decreased and consistently getting the "clock" symbol for up to 10 or more minutes at a time !

I recently noticed a dramatic decrease in my Blackberry Curve 9300's battery life. Several days ago, it went from lasting all day to only lasting a few hours. I have also noticed that I get the "clock" symbol appearing on the screen even if I'm not using the phone --- and it stays on the screen for up to 10 minutes or more at a time ! I will look at the phone to get the time and I see that it hasn't updated for 10-15 minutes and the clock symbol is running the entire time. When it finally does disappear, the phone seems to work like it always has ---- but I'm worried that I've either picked up a virus or have somehow activated something that is draining my battery and memory resources rapidly. Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated ! P.S.. I'm a relatively new Blackberry user --- switched from iPhone about 6 months ago......so still learning about how the device works and how to troubleshoot ! THANKS !
p.s. I have looked to see if any apps are running in the background and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Hi CollinGCC78,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues, you may want to double-check the steps outlined in the following article, in order if possible (apologies for replicating any steps you have already taken):

HT1349 My Ipod was stolen how do i get the serial number?

My IPOD was stolen how do I get the serial number?

The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two, device connectivity and device sync. run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.

How do i get the GBP sign on my macbook pro

HI how do i get the GBP sign on my macbook pro ?
Thanks

You hold down the Option key and type a 3 on a US standard keyboard.
Or you open System Preferences / Keyboard, tick the Show Keyboard & Character viewers option. That will pop up a menulet in the menu bar from which you can choose the Keyboard Viewer item. In turn, that pops up a mini-floater on the screen, mimicking your keyboard and showing what characters are produced as you press any of the keys.

How can i get the previous version of iTunes back

I have a MacBook with a DVD/CD drive, Mac OS X (10.7.5). I recently updated to iTunes version 12.0.1.26. It seems to be designed for Macs without a DVD/CD drive. How can I get the previous version back? I don't have a back up or use time machine.

Thanks Chris, there a number of problems I'm experiencing. When I insert a CD, despite the preference being ticked, I nolonger get the box that asks me if I want to import. When I did manage to import I couldn't find where the file had gone. Perhaps what I need is a good user guide for the latest version of iTunes because at this point the impression I have is unless I'm buying from iTunes nothing seems to work as it previously did. It is impossible to add anything to my library.
I'd be the first to admit I'm no computer nerd and all the information I've found so far to try and sort out my difficulties don't seem to work. Can someone please tell me where can I get a good user guide for iTune 12.0.1.26 because I find it far from intuitive? At least then I have a chance of working out if it's me or the machine.
Many thanks in anticipation.

How do I reset the clock on a G4 that has a spinning wait cursor?

How do I reset the clock on a G4 that has a spinning wait cursor? Not sure of the OS, other than 10 something. This computer was initially set up to boot in either system 9 or 10, with 10 being the default. I just need it to run enough to get some old graphics files off if it. With the spinning cursor, I can't go into preferences to reset the clock. Suggestions?

If the machine can boot to either OS 9 or OS X, and each of those is installed on a separate volume (partition), then restart or boot the machine and immediately press the Option key, keep it held down. After a few moments (maybe up to a minute), Startup Manager will open - a bright blue screen with some icons on it. Click the icon representing the OS 9 install, then click the straight arrow on the right.
The machine should then boot into OS 9, and you may then be able to grab the files you need.
Note - if OS 9 and OS X are on the same volume, this won't work.

I had photoshop 11, i now have elements 13. how do i get the photos from elements 11 to elements 13 in one easy step

I had elements 11 and I now have a new pc and elements 13. how do I get the photos from 11 ne easy step?

When you open the File menu, you should have 19 options, including 'Manage catalogs, Ctrl+Maj+C'.
All options should be available (not grayed out).
Using the 'Manage catalogs' option should open a new dialog.
In the white panel on the bottom you should find one or several catalogs found by the Organizer.
In the upper right part, two buttons : Open and Convert.
Click on 'Convert' which should open a new dialog allowing you to find the catalog to convert. The organizer should find most older catalogs in the list on the bottom. If you don't see your catalog to convert, you can tick the checkboxes to 'show previously converted catalogs' or to browse to their location.
Highlight the catalog to convert and click the convert button.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
and it contain
8326=sun developer
4306=sun java developer
3943=java developer
how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
plz help guys..............

The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
props.load(is);
