How does one use punch in with v 5.5?

Hello, just downloaded the trial in hopes the punch in functions were straightened out (my terminology)
vs. version 3.
So far I haven't found a way to use this (non) feature. I can punch in but then what does one do to
select and merge the best take?
Once I click on the main clip in the track the punched clip goes to the background (i guess)
Also, in previous versions I would record multiple takes and only the last (top) version would play.
In 5.5 they all play - whether they are visible or not.
I've searched through help and the forum for information about this and haven't found anything.
I know I can't find things in the refrigerator either but that's beside the point.
From what I gather it will be a while until there is an update to this version so unless someone
can tell me how punch in and take selection is supposed to work I won't be able to upgrade.
Assistance in this matter will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Durin,
What do you mean:
"The options to only play the topmost clip or to select which clip is played is a separate item, but also shuffling up the list."
I also only want (like Floyd) to hear the "on top" sound from "punching in" as in V3. The marketing material for V5.5 mentions :
Quick punch
Quickly fix recording errors by punching in corrections on-the-fly as you rerecord: Toggle the record button to punch in your new take only where you want it to replace the old one. Punch in and out as many times as you want.
Currently nothing is replaced, only stacked on top. Freaky when you first hear the take.
When you say "end up", should I wait for V6?
Thank you for your time.
-Ed

How does one use Sound sticks while using HDMI at the same time ??

How does one use Soundsticks while using HDMI at the same time ??

Hi Caleb,
This isn't a precise answer but a possible workable solution. SoundSource puts a menu extra which allows you to switch input/output and has an option for Auto-Switch to Headphones. The auto-switch feature doesn't work with USB headphones but I believe it will with 'regular' headphone plugs such as you use.

How does one use 'drop zones' in DVD menus?

Hi
I have Premiere Elements 4.0. How does one use 'drop zones' in DVD menus?
Thanks
NBK

There are a number of ways, but the easiest is to swap in your video the way you swap in a DVD background -- i.e., select a menu with a drop zone and, in the DVD menus area, click on the background of the menu in the Disc Layout monitor. This will open up a screen that will allow you to browse to the video or still you want.
Once it's in place, hold down the Shift key and, grabbing a corner handle on the Disc Layout monitor, size the image and drag it to position it in the drop zone.

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBB

I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

How does one use an external microphone with the internal camera?

I want to use the internal camera because I don't have anything better but I want to use an external mic to record video and sound simultaneously, for a video blog. How does one accomplish this? I'm getting no help from the manual.

Try this. Connect your external mic, either through the audio line in port or, into a USB port if it is a USB mic and then go to System Preferences under the Apple and select the Sound icon under Hardware. Click on your mic shown in the list of input devices.
Hope that works for you.

What is the point of tags, and how does one use them?

I am completely mystified by tags. This is a new feature that is supposed to be wonderful and helpful, and some people have hailed them as a major improvement. However, I can't see what they are good for.
If you put a tag on a file, it is added to the beginning of the filename in Finder, thus shortening the portion that is visible, which potentially makes it harder to identify the file. If you are thinking of telling me to abandon icon view in the Finder, forget it.
Tags have to be added manually. How does that work if you have more than 24 files? I have about 3,000.
It seems that you'd have to come up iwth a categorization scheme for alll the files on your disk. Ccmbine that with tagging them manually, won't that take a huge amount of t ime?
What added benefit do tags give the user?
We used to be able to add metadata to files with CMD+I. Now we can only add tags. Is this progress or regress and why?
Incidentally, I am over 12 years of age.

Thanks for the explanations. What this means in my situation is that tags are an unnecessary way of spending a lot of time making my file system more complicated, without adding any value whatsoever. Without tags, I can find any of my 3,000 files with a few clicks. (On my computer, Spotlight has cobwebs. I very rarely need it, but it's wonderful when I do.) Now that I know how tags work, I can ignore it.
A human being can only perceive a quantity of seven without counting or grouping; hence we arrange things in structures to keep the number of entitites low on each level. You don't need to count three objects to know that they are all there, but you do need to count twelve objects. Which is why Home Alone was believable. We sort screws and nails in jars and toolboxes have compartments. Even the grocery store has a hierarchical arrangement. You don't find steaks in the bakery section, or breakfast cereal in the produce department.
Some people aren't organized, and that's not a bad thing, but no folder, no tag, and no group is going to change a fundamental personality characteristic.
Thanks everyone for showing me that in my case, there's no point to tags. That saves me a lot of time.

How does one use Bonjour, or get it to work?

How does one use JavaScript with the Windows Media Player Plugin?

Hi there.
According to this old [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564570%28v=VS.85%29.aspx MSDN Article] it is possible to control the windows media player plugin using javascript.
It provides a series of objects off the object that should perform certain funtions, such as play stop and seek.
It states very clearly in the article that some are not supported; however, none of them seem to be working with the latest version(s?) of Firefox.
I have Firefox 5 installed currently and have not tested in any other version, so I'm not sure when it stopped working.
The video does load and will display properly -- the ability to control it through javascript however, does not work.
i.e.:
var mplay = document.getElementById('myplayer');
mplay.controls.play(); // mplay.controls is undefined
This same code works in Internet Explorer.

You need to place the URL in a data attribute for Firefox.
<pre><nowiki>document.write(' <OBJECT id="Player" data="http://87.117.197.189:16229" width="320" height="45" type="application/x-ms-wmp">');
document.write(' <param name="AudioStream" value="true">');
document.write(' <param name="Enabled" value="True">');
document.write(' <param name="ClickToPlay" value="false">');
document.write(' <param name="BufferingTime" value="5">');
document.write(' <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">');
document.write(' <param name="Volume" value="70">');
document.write(' <param name="autoStart" value="true">');
document.write(' </OBJECT>');</nowiki></pre>

How does one create a user with a null password in iManager?

I'm setting up LDAP authentication and need to create a user with a null password.
If you do not put a password in the password field when creating the user in iManager, a message pops up stating, No password has been defined for this user.
You are given a choice of:
Allow user to log in without a password
- or -
Do not allow user to log in without a password
If you choose Do not allow user to log in without a password, there are no complaints.
When I look at the properties of the newly-created user, however, I note that the "Require a password" checkbox is not filled in.
That would imply that the answer to the question posed during the user's creation is moot; either answer produces a user that can log in without a password.
I can then assign the Common Proxy password policy to the user, which does not dictate a minimum length for a password.
From that point forward, any attempts to leave the password field blank in iManager results in another pop-up message stating:
"Failure to enter a password will allow the user to login without a password."
That implies that no password exists for the user, as opposed to a null password.
Is that correct or are the public and private key for the user object still generated?

If you do not specify a password, which is what happens when you select
the 'Do not allow user to log in without a password' option initially, the
user cannot login. A user with no password (meaning no password exists at
all, similar to a 'null' in programming) cannot login with a password
because, of course, they do not have a password.
If you specify a zero-length string as the password you are effectively
(and usually) creating a proxy user, for example to be used for the LDAP
service in eDirectory, and this user can login typing in a password (since
typing would imply one or more characters) but nevertheless there IS a
password, but it happens that it is zero-length, so typing nothing for the
password IS submitting the correct password. This is the option carried
out by eDirectory when you choose, 'Allow user to log in without a
password' (the prompt is a little misleading with its "without a password"
phrase).
Once you assign a UP policy you are telling the system that there SHOULD
be a password on the user (and with common proxy there definitely should
be, probably a strong one at that) so the only option now is whether or
not the password is zero-length or longer. Obviously longer is the
correct option for security reasons.
Good luck.

Subject: How does one implement variable represents with Select Option?

All threads I read on SDN show examples with u2018EQu2019 or u2018BTu2019, Are there other values arrowed such as u2018CPu2019
According to help.sap.com, other values should be allowed, but as soon as I use them, e.g., CP (contain pattern), one gets java exception when running query?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/1d/ca10d858c2e949ba4a152c44f8128a/content.htm
Thanks.

I found 'CP' does work. Vriable must represent Selction Option. If variable represnets single value or multiple single value then CP returns exceptiom.

How does one use the free version of OmniGraffle without instructions?

I found OmniGraffle loaded onto my new PBk G4 (apparently for free) and, after trying to use it, have a few questions.
1. Is there an instruction booklet/program for the supplied version besides what little is included in its Help menu?
2. It came as v3.2. When I checked on the Web site for instructions on using it, it refered to v4 only, which appears to require a purchase.
I'm uncomfortable being in this Catch-22 situation. If there's a charge for a beginner to use v4, how can an Apple purchaser with v3.2 find a step-by-step user manual for the free version of OmniGraffle supplied on my computer?

Dear Tuttle and Tom:
You both sent me to the appropriate place. I downloaded the instruction file (PDF). Many thanks.
Incidentally, I then downloaded the upgrade offered at the top of that page (from v3.2 to v3.2.4) but after ±90% of the necessary time needed, it shut down with a "Failed to Mount" message (whatever that might mean). It took more than 28 minutes to download that much even though I'm using DSL! Have either of you upgraded to v3.2.4 with or without difficulty?
Thanks again for your right-on assistance.

How do I know if I have a wifi problem with my new iPad 3 (it seems very slow) and how does one address the problem with apple if there is one?

I just read about the possible issue that some folks are having with their new iPad wifi (my seemed to be running very slowly but I thought that perhaps it was just me overreacting). How do I know if I have a definite problem, and what is my recourse? Do I need to take it to an Apple store for testing? I have apple care which I assume addresses stuff like this. Thoughts? Thx so much.

Your iPad is covered by the normal warranty for one year. If you have AppleCare that extends the coverage. If you feel there is a problem with your wifi reception visit an Apple store with your iPad for a consultation. Be sure to make an appointment before you go.

What is "Print to file" used for? How does one use it?

From a web page I navigate FILE-->PRINT then check 'print to file' box. Firefox saves the file to its folder in C:\Program Files..
When later, I want to retrieve the data and print it out it refuses to be opened by any known software, including Firefox!. Even Dell seems to have no documentation on what this feature is for, or how to use it. I thought this was a convenient tool for saving print jobs for later processing. Boy was I wrong! Who knows what's going down here?

Checking the "Print to file" was earlier one way, however maybe not the best one, to generate postscript code, if you had defined a postscript printer. This printer could be completely virtual and not necessarily exist in the real world. Many of the Hewlett-Packard printers were usable. This was in a time when just a few programs could generate pdf code, but you had the Ghostscript program and its ps2pdf tool to do the conversion. As postscript is a text format, you could also edit the file, if so wanted, before the converson.

How does one use the middle and right buttons in AIR without the cursor showing?

All I want to do is use all three botton clicks without the cursor showing (assistive technology situation). So I use Mouse.hide(). All works fine with the Left mouse button. With the middle and right buttons the cursor reappears as soon as the middle and right mouse is in the DOWN state (and stays visible until rehidden--see code). Are there Mouse parameters that could be added? (I can't find any such references.) Do I need to create a custom cursor Class that makes the cursor invisible at all times? Here is my simple AS 3 test code.
// MyClickListener.fla
// Using the Stage to listen for button events
// Why do the Middle and Right clicks reexpose the mouse cursor as soon as the DOWN state is encountered?
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
            Mouse.hide();
            var leftClick:int = 0;
            var middleClick:int = 0;
            var rightClick:int = 0;
function leftClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            // Mouse.hide();   // I do not need this -- mouse cursor does not reappear
            trace(event.target.name);
            trace("You pressed the Left Button.");
            leftClick ++;
            trace("Left Clicks = " + leftClick);
function middleClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            Mouse.hide(); //I use this to rehide the mouse that reappears after click.
            trace(event.target.name);
            trace("You pressed the Middle Button.");
            middleClick ++;
            trace("Middle Clicks = " + middleClick);
function rightClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            Mouse.hide(); // I use this to rehide the mouse that reappears after click.
            trace(event.target.name);
            trace("You pressed the Right Button.");
            rightClick ++;
            trace("Right Clicks = " + rightClick);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, leftClickHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MIDDLE_CLICK, middleClickHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK, rightClickHandler);
Help appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
