How do I make the "Find Panel" (Ctrl-F) more ME friendly?

After quickly resolving and only recently glitch in an older Firefox version (17.0.1) concerning stubborn restore of last sessions upon start up, using now version 27.0.1, I am now frustrated with the Find Panel (using Ctrl-F). How do I revert the Find Panel to older (not to mention MORE PRACTICAL!) version? If a visualization is actually necessary, I found a link that may be helpful: http://s11.postimg.org/qsc5piwr7/ff_find.png .
Focusing ONLY on the Find Panel, the version I am looking for is on
the top, while the newer (not to mention INFERIOR!) version can be
found on the bottom.
If I have to get another version, please let it also be able to use the Norton Toolbar, but I would much rather be given the instructions on how to simply edit the version I have now (27.0.1) so as to change only the Find Panel as I described above.
If you noticed, I'm getting super frustrated and also very picky, but as things Mozilla, Google, etc. go on, making what I suppose they call "progress," they all start to diminish in their functions. I'm not looking for a special looking internet browser, but one that works, user friendly, ME friendly. If Firefox has a few bugs to work out, work `em out, but for heaven's sake, stop altering the orientation of tools in the browser, rendering it far less practical than its wiser ancestral versions. I digress though . . .
I'm using Firefox 27.0.1, extremely loathe the Find Panel (Ctrl-F), how can I switch to an older and
better Find Panel (while at the same time also maintianing compatibility for Norton Toolbar)?

Try the following style in Stylish. It's a fair approximation of the previous appearance.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
Once Stylish is installed, open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A), User Styles category. Click the Write New Style button at the top and paste the following in it. Give the style a name and click the Save button.

The Alt+N and Alt+P keyboard shortcuts no longer work for finding the next and previous occurrence, respectively. You can use F3 or Ctrl+G and Shift+F3 or Ctrl+Shift+G, respectively.
If you want the find bar to remain open when switching tabs, you can use the FindBar Tweak add-on.

How do I expand the left panel to see more of my folder names?

Or (alternatively), how do I hide (but not delete) upper-level folders so that my folder names don't get cut off? Here's a screen shot:

In a word or two, you can't. You can drag the border between the left panel and the viewing area to enlarge the panel, but it only goes so far.
That's not quite true.
You can use Jeffrey's tool to expand the maximum width of the panels, and use narrower fonts if you want:

How can I make the Finder on my MacBook Pro recognize my iPad as a device?

I need to transfer images from my iPad to my MacBook Pro while preserving "file created" date and time information. Trying to do this using iPhoto has not been working for Vertical *****, since the program auto-rotates the images and marks them as created at the time they are imported. I would prefer to copy the images directly from the iPad to the MacBook Pro, but the iPad is not recognized as a device by the laptop's Finder, even though iTunes and iPhoto detect it. Any advice?

This is very frustrating... I did not capitalize the first letter of "vertical" and did not use any inappropriate words. This forum should provide a way to preview and edit posts. I believe I conveyed my question adequately and appreciate any feedback despite any possible distractions...

How can I make the moon in this shot, more moon like? Pic Included.

So this is the last shot in a trailer I've directed/edited. It was shot against a green screen. We have wind machines blowing her dress. I also shot leaves falling about 15 feet, then rotated the shot to look like the wind is moving them west along with her dress. I have several different layers of fog doing different things. THEN I have the moon. It's a still image, I added a bulge filter to make it appear more rounded and a layer of fog atmosphere on top but it still doesn't look good enough. This is a creative discussion, any and all ideas will be great! Cheers

Absolutely! Here is a screen grab from the adjustments below:
Also, just to do one better, here is the link to the video:

How can I use the find button in Edit ADF Table in JDeveloper 10.1.3

Hi all,
in JDeveloper 10.1.3
How can I make the find button work in
the same Edit ADF Table without adding new view ?
thanks

Hi there,
it depends on what you mean by adding a new view object. You[b] don't have to create a new viewobject. You do have to add a second instance of your existing view object to your page.
Form scratch works more or less like this. Drop your view object as ADF table on the form. Add the find and execute operations. Drop the same view object on your form but now as ADF search form. Place the fields form the search form in the corresponding columns next to the existing fields. For each #{row} field ,and the find button, set the rendered property
#{bindings.testUserIterator.findMode ==false}. For each inputfield, and the execute, set the rendered property #{bindings.testUserIterator.findMode ==true}.
Now it will work.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Good luck

How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?

How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open
when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?
I am using the accordion feature on all my pages as a
navigation aid. It has three panels. When you refresh the page the
panel goes back to the default pane... Is there a way of
controlling this so that the browser can remember the pane that is
open (say set a variable, cookie, other?)

Look for "Set the default open panel" on the following page:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/accordion_overview/index.html
Keep in mind you would need to change that bit of code on
every page. The only way to do it more dynamically would be to
include a custom javascript or PHP/ASP style script in order to
change the value.

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
Hope this helps,

we have recently upgraded to windows 7, how do i make the toolbars and panel pane larger. They are too small to view

A larger monito is only helpful if the resolution is the same as your current monitor, and they tend to have higher resolutions as you get larger, so don't rush out an buy a larger monitor and expect miracles. If you have a 22" now and it's "HD" (1920 x 1080), you'll see some change as you go up in size, but you'd probably need at least a 27" screen at 1920 x 1080 to notice a real difference.
Right click on the desktop and choose Screen Resolution and you can see the current settings (probably the maximum value which is recommended) and other settings you can use. Lowering the resolution will make everything on the screen larger, but less stuff will fit. Used to be, too that ID did not work will at less than the maximum resolution setting for any monitor.
I did not mean to use the larger fonts feature, by the way, as far as I know that doesn't affect the ID user interface.
The point I was making, rather badly, is that those of us with declining eyesight are getting shafted because there is no way to make use of all the monitor potential and adjut the user interface to make things visible. I just bought a 30" monitor to replace my old 27" which had 1920 x 1200 resolution and was pretty usable, things were about the same size as my old sony 20" running at 1600 x 1200, but even though it is larger in terms of screen size, the new monitor is even higher resolution and things are actually smaller. The only reason I can use it with ID is I know where everything is.

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

How can i make the text go vertically in numbers

How can I make the text vertical in numbers? I have merged the cells and cannot find an option for making it go vertical as opposed to horizontal.

I already gave two tools to fit this kind of needs.
tip #1 :
--{code}
--[SCRIPT write_vertically]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : write_vertically.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Saisir dans une cellule le mot à écrire verticalement puis le sélectionner.
ATTENTION, il ne faut pas sélectionner la cellule mais le mot qui doit apparaitre surligné.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “write_vertically”
Le script colle dans la cellule le mot apès avoir inséré un return entre tous les caractères.
Pour mon usage personnel j'associe un raccourci à ce script grace à FastScripts.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: write_vertically.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
In a cell, type a word to write vertically then select it.
CAUTION, don’t select the cell but the word which must be highlighted.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “write_vertically”
The script insert in the cell the word after inserting a return between every characters.
For my own use, I link a shortcut to the script thank to FastScripts.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

--[SCRIPT rotate_cell_contents]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : rotate_cell_contents.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner une cellule dont le texte doit être tourné de 90 degrés.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “rotate_cell_contents”
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript

--=====
Save the script as a Script: rotate_cell_contents.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a cell whose contents must be rotated for 90 degrees.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “rotate_cell_contents”
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:

How do I retrieve the tone panel in Lightroom 5 (with the sliders for exposure, contrast, vibrancy etc which sits under the crop, red eye etc icons)

How do I retrieve the tone panel in Lightroom 5 ( with the sliders for exposure, contrast, vibrancy etc which sits under the icons for cropping, red eye etc)?

On a PC, right-click (Mac Cmd-click) on one of the other panel headings such as Tone Curve, Detail, etc. In the context menu that displays, make sure there is a checkmark in Basic. Another quick way to do it is Ctrl->1 or Cmd->1.

How do i make the same song have two different genre

how do i make the same song have 2 different genre for 2 different playlist?

In my example, we will create a Smart Playlist that includes all songs in the genre Acid Jazz and one extra song that has the genre of Afro-beat. That extra song will be "Music For Gong Gong". To create your Smart Playlist, substitute the genre types and the song title (anything with < > around it) for the ones you want.
In your iTunes Library, either click on the + symbol in the lower left corner of iTunes playlists, or click CTRL+ALT+N to create a New Smart Playlist. The following will appear (my orange numbering):
1. Using the drop-down menus, change "Artist" to Genre, "contains" to is and in the text box (marked 1) type in the text <Acid Jazz> (remember to chose the genre you want, and with the exact spelling used for that genre in your library - don't type in the < > obviously!)
2. Click on the + symbol at the end of that line (marked 2), which creates an additional line
3. In this new line, change "Artist" to Grouping, change "contains" to is and in the text box type in <Acid Jazz> (Notice that I have used the same name as the genre itself. You don''t have to, but it makes it easier to add those extra songs. You'll understand why in step 7.) You now have a box like this:
4. Change the Match rule at the top (notice it has already changed in the two screenshots above) to any. This is a crucial step, do not forget it.
5. Notice that I have also selected Match only ticked items. This is optional, but selecting it will exclude songs that have been unticked. If you use Sync only ticked songs and videos, this can be useful way of keeping the Playlist the same as the one on your device.
6. Click the OK button. You now have the opportunity to name your Playlist. I have chosen <Genre is Acid Jazz +> so that it is obvious what it is.
So that's the Playlist created. As you can see, <Genre is Acid Jazz +> has 89 songs in it and I can assure you that's how many songs are in the Acid Jazz genre section. Now, all that remains is to add the additional song.
7. Find your "two-genre" song and click File/Get Info/Info (or CTRL+I - that's an "eye") to bring up the edit song option. In the Grouping field, type in <Acid Jazz> (remember to use the same text you used in the Grouping box in step 3. This means you only have to type in the same genre name to the Grouping box, to get it into that particular Playlist. I mentioned this in step 3).
Notice that we are not changing the Genre. Click the OK button.
Now look at the Playlist <Genre is Acid Jazz +> again.
Notice that is now has 90 songs and at number 60 is the <Music For Gong Gong>. Note that the genre for that song is still Afro-beat, so the song still appears in the genre Afro-beat as well.
To add any other song to this particular two-genre Playlist, simply find the song in your Library and type <Acid Jazz> into the Grouping box, as in step 7. It's that simple!
Here's an extra tip. Too many Playlists and having issues finding your way through them?
I have renamed the Playlist Genre is Acid Jazz + so that it is now named Acid Jazz Plus and I've dropped it into a Playlists Folder named GENRES (capitals makes it easy to find the folders on iDevices).
Notice that here in iTunes, Playlists are sorted in the following order:
Playlist Folders (and then the Smart Playlists and Regular Playlists inside it)
Smart Playlists
Regular Playlists
... but on my iPod Classic (for example), they are sorted in alphabetical order. So to find the Playlist Acid Jazz Plus, go into the Playlists menu and scroll down to G, go into GENRES, and in there will be Acid Jazz Plus, with all 90 songs!
I hope you will give this a try, you have nothing to lose but a little time. Let us (all) know how you get on with it. We'd like to know.

How do I make the "Find Panel" (Ctrl-F) more ME friendly?
