How to enable autofill or autocomplete in Bridge CS4

When I'm typing in keywords in Bridge, words that I use frequently will not autocomplete. Does anybody know how to turn this feature on?
thanks,

How to view individual art board in Bridge CS4?

Hi.
Can somebody tell me how to configure the Adobe Bridge CS4 so that it shows/views/displays individual art boards (that I can scroll thru) and NOT the whole *.ai file (which contains ALL the art boards)?
I want to preview the individual art boards as a larger image, and when they all appear together in the *.ai file, they appear smaller.
At the bottom of this page:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/illustrator/articles/lrvid4016_ai.html
it says;
"To view documents, open Adobe Bridge and select an Illustrator document from the Content panel. A larger view of the document appears in the Preview panel located to the right of the Content panel. When viewing an Illustrator file with multiple artboards, click the right-facing arrow below the preview to display each of the artboards."
I do not have this arrow, so therefore no option. On my bridge, all artboards appear together. How do I separate them and get the arrow he is talking about?
TIA.

Interesting, looks like you also need to save the file with Create PDF Compatible File checked in the Illustrator options dialog when saving - the sample files were saved without PDF compatibility, so no individual artboard preview.
I resaved the sample file In the Cradle of the Deep with Create PDF Compatible File checked, and it shows the artboard previews individually.

How to open PEF (pentax raw) in Bridge CS4

Cannot open Pentax RAW files (PEF) in Bridge CS4. Any help is appreciated. Canon RAW does open.

I don't see that listed, is it really new? http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
CS4 will only support camera raw in the 5.x series. You either have to upgrade or convert images to DNG format. THis is a free program from Adobe.

How to point Mac PS Elements to Bridge CS4?

Installed InDesign CS4 (with Bridge CS4) and PS Elements 6 (with Bridge CS3).
Both Bridge CS 3 and Bridge CS4 are now installed.
Tried deleting Bridge CS3 but PSE6 refuses to go to CS4 so dragged CS3 back to application.
PSE6 is happy but I would like to work with same Bridge version for both PSE and InDesign.
Any way to point PSE to Bridge CS4 so I can delete CS3?

It doesn't matter whether the program is registered or not: you cannot make an older version of an adobe program like PSE or PS (or ID for that matter) see the newer version of Bridge. That's deliberate on Adobe's part.
But as I said, if you put bridge in the dock, the only difference is that you launch it from the dock rather than from PSE, and go there to switch programs.
If you click the name of a program associated with a file type in the bridge prefs, you should be able to choose PSE 6 as the program to open it; it just doesn't work the other way.

How to enable shooting tethered in Adobe Bridge

Trying to set up Bridge to shoot tethered. I need a how to.

Designer doesn't have a debugger like Acrobat.
The script editor can check only if the syntax is correct.
You generally can use the PDF-Preview to debug JavaScripts when Acrobat is your current PDF-Viewer.
Add this code in you script where you want to start debugging. It will call Acrobat's JS Console
debugger;
console.show();

How use easily photoshop elements 12 and bridge cs4 ?

i use bridge to classify my photos .I would like to buy photoshop elements 12 but I don't want to use the organiser (i tryed before but all my photos are in double xith the organiser and its take too much place in my mac!)
is it possible to use bridge and PSE 12 easily ?
thanks

Well, yes and no. You can use CS4 bridge, but you can't update the raw converter, so you won't be able to see thumbnails or do conversions for any raw files from cameras that aren't fairly old. But the bridge file type associations should automatically update to send pics to PSE 12 for editing.
However, although I'm not an organizer fan, either, there's one thing in your post that may be a misunderstanding:
all my photos are in double xith the organise
The organizer is just a database. It doesn't contain any photos at all, and the only time it ever copies a photo without specifically being told to do so is whent you import a whole photo library from iphoto, and then it does this to avoid writing into the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is a Very Bad Thing to do. You shouldn't use bridge on your iphoto library, either.

How To Add a Star in Bridge CS4?

How does one rate with stars in Bridge CS4? In CS2 you had little dots under each image as they appeared in the column on the right. It was possible to check one, two, three, etc. In CS4 I see the little dots under a selected photo but nothing happens when I click on one.
Thanks
avebon

It works by either "Command 1" or as you suggest, "h1."
It doesn't work for me by just clicking on the dot.

It still works as expected, by just clicking on the dot.

How to enable Channel 13 on WET54g

I am using it in Europe and need to enable channel 13 so I can connect to a network on this channel. I vaguely remember being told this was done by accessing a hidden setup page. Can anyone tell me how to enable channel 13 on a WET54g V3.1?

This seems to me like poor and outdated policy. It reminds of times when you could not take a laptop to Europe because the power supply was only for 110 V. Most manufacturers have moved to simplifying things for the customer and for themselves by making models more universal.
>> Flashing other firmware may brick the device. You can never rule that out.
>> Flashing European firmware should not cause problems.
>> Possibly it won't accept it but usually hardware versions between countries are identical.
You say it should "not cause problems" but "may brick the device". I would consider a bricking the device to be a "problem". I guess I can interpret it to mean that damage is unlikely but possible. It gives me pause as I do not want to risk bricking it.
The device label says it is WET54g V 3.1 At the US site http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/bridges/WET54G the choice for hardware version only goes up to V 3.0. Puzzling.
At the European site http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-eu/support/bridges/WET54G/download I found support for version 3.1. Interesting and puzzling since my 3.1 is American.
There, in the EU site, I found a file named WET54Gv3_1_v2d16.zip which contains two files:
- wet54gv3_v2d16_us_20091027.img
- wet54gv3_v2d16_ce_20091027.img
There is no explanation in the release notes of which one to use. The names differ only in two characters: us/ce. I would assume "us" is for USA but what would "ce" be? I was expecting something like "uk" or "eu". I am guessing the ce version is for Europe but I want to be sure before I start messing. I have never flashed anything and I have no idea of the degree of risk involved.
You can reload it with this firmware wet54gv3_v2d16_ce_20091027.img.

How to enable WPS on Westell 327W

I know I need to go into the router http://192.168.1.1/ but I have no idea what to do once I get there. I bought Netgear WNCE2001 Universal Wifi Internet adapter to connect my direct tv receiver to the internet...but I don't see how to enable the WPS
Thanks

it doesn't support WPS? Why does it say it does in the product specs? That I looked into several times and my understanding was that it did and I just had to go into the router to enable it.
I am not sure where the "command prompt" screen is. Is it when I log into http://192.168.1.1?
I am trying to get my direct TV wirelessly linked to the internet using the adapter.
When you go to 192.168.1.1 do you see a blue-and-white web page, or do you see a red-and-black web page?
If you see a blue-and-white web page, then the 327W is running the original firmware that came from Westell. If you see a red-and-black web page, then the 327W is running the newer firmware that Verizon made available a few years ago.
There are some wireless devices that will not work when communicating with the blue-and-white firmware. I had a 327W and a Sony blu-ray player that would not talk to each other no way no how, until I downloaded and installed the red-and-black firmware. Then the routine set-up worked. There are other wireless devices that communicate just fine with a 327W, no matter which version of the firmware it's running.
I can't tell you whether you need to update the firmware in the 327W or not, but I hope the above helps.
About six months after I updated the 327W firmware, the 327W bit the dust. I ended up getting a newer 7500 from Verizon, for less than $3.00 a month.
If it were up to me, I would call verizon and ask them if the can replace the old 327W with a 6100G or a 7500, depending on my needs. Failing in that, I would go down to a store and buy a server end wireless adaptor that plugs into the 327W, and set one of the two devices to bridge mode. I've never done that, so I'll let others tell you how. I don't like that solution, because it involves one more box. I like to keep things as simple as possible, but not simpler than that.
Once you have working hardware and firmware, setting up the wireless service is fairly intuitive, provided you understand the basics of what is going on. The complexities come into play when you try to set your configuration to make your wireless network somewhat secure. Depending on your location, this may be necessary to keep people from accessing your local files via a wirless LAN connection.
If I can find it, I'll try to get back to you with the location of a website that explains how to use the interface you get to when you go to 192.168.1.1. By the way, if you go to http://dslrouter you should get to the same screen. I find that easier to remember than the numbers.

How to enable resource sharing with complex AEBS setup

I have a complex AEBS + Netgear network configuration that I am trying to enable resource sharing on. The Netgear router is necessary because it provides excellent per-user parental controls and content filtering that the AEBS lacks. The setup is operational (network connectivity works as expected), but I cannot figure out how to enable cross-network resource visibility and sharing.
Here is the network configuration:
|Vz Fios PPoEE |
|
v
|___
|AEBS|
| __Mac Mini (wireless)
| __AppleTV (wireless)
| __Wii (wireless)
| __MBPC2Duo (wireless)
| __WinXp PC1 (wired)
|
v
|______
|Netgear|
| __WinXP PC2/Printer (wired)
| __WinXp PC3 (wired)
| __iBook (wireless)
| __Vista Laptop1 (wireless)
| __Vista Laptop2 (wireless)
The Mini, AppleTV, Wii and MBPC2Duo all connect wirelessly with the AEBS. The Netgear router is wired to the AEBS. This in turn has 2 wired clients and three wireless clients as illustrated.
The Netgear router receives an IP address assignment from the AEBS (in the 10.0.1.x range) via DHCP and in turn assigns IP addresses (in the 192.168.1.x range) to attached clients via DHCP
The setup is operational and operates flawlessly --network-wise. However, I now need to enable resource sharing as follows:
1) Setup the Mini as the media hub, configured to allow:
a. storage of all iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and garage band content to an attached external hard drive,
b. sharing of content on the Mini with iTunes on each computer (Macs and Pcs) and the AppleTV
2) Share the printer attached to Windows XP PC2 with all computers (Macs and PCs)
Questions:
1. Is this possible with this network configuration?
2. If so, how would I configure the relevant elements?
3. Is it better to attach the external media storage to the AEBS vs attaching it to the Mini?
Thanks!

Thanks Tesserax. After some digging I was able to find bridge mode config instructions for the Netgear router.
Follow-up question:
Given my desire to centralize media access via the Mac Mini, what is the best way to set up my media storage device (320G HD)?
I see the following options:
A. NAS device via USB 2.0 connection to the AEBS, or
B. Supplemental hard drive on the Mac Mini via USB 2.0 or Firewire.
Thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks!

How to enable a partner application for Single Sign-On?

Can someone please advise me on how to enable my existing J2EE web application for the Oracle Single Sign-On?
My requirement is i want to provide the single sign-on authentication service to my J2EE web application. For this, I would like to make my application as a partner application similar like the OracleAS Portal.
I am using Oracle 10g ( OralceAS, Oracle Infra, OID ...)
I found the following service/APIs which Oracle provides. I am not sure which one is suitable for me.
1. mod_osso ( Static)
--- In this case, I have to make a entry in mod_osso.config file to protect the URL. should I have to register the URL again through single sign on admin page ("Administer Partner Application") after make a entry in config file?
2. mod_osso ( Dynamic directive)
-- in this case, I have to modify the code by providing the directives like 401, 499.. etc. So i don't prefer this as i don't want to touch my app.
--If I go with this option, should i have to register the URL with Single sign on server through SSO admin page ( as mentioned in the above step#1) ?
3. SSO SDK
- Since it was deprecated and need java coding, i am prefer this option.
-- however, if i go with this option, i will develop code by using SDK. in this case i need to register the URL in SSO server through admin page.. am i right?
Note:- OSSO server integrated with Active Directory for the authentication.
Thanks,
-Senthil

they said that our internal application needs to send a "login request" to etran via SSL with the user's information encoded in base 64 format. etran captures the HTTP header containing user authentication and authorization information, and parses the required information from the HTTP header.
My question is that how I set user information in HTTP header? From my understanding, once I am able to set the user information in HTTP header, it is in base 64 format?Your application need to act like a proxy. You can invoke a HTTP request programmatically using java.net.URLConnection. You can set request headers using URLConnection#setRequestProperty(). Also see the API docs: [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URLConnection.html]. You only need to know the header field name where to set the Base64-encoded value in. You need to Base64-encode the value yourself.

There are a number of ways to create a fieldcat.

by populating the internal table fields individually and then

also allow you more control of the final product.
Beware though, you need to ensure that all fields required are
populated. When using some of functionality available via ALV, such as
total. You may need to provide more information than if you were
simply displaying the result
              I.e. Field type may be required in-order for
                   the 'TOTAL' function to work.

How to enable the S-Video port on a Satelite M30X-154?

Hey does any one know how to enable the S-Video port on a Satellite SM30X-154 laptop?
If I press the FN+5 keys the only options I get is LCD and no S-VHS option. My TV is set up for it as I watch DVD's through the cable.
When I connect the cable to the laptop, nothing happens!!
HELP

Hi,
Sorry, my Tosh A100 has a Geforce 7600, I don't know what your GA is.
But on mine I have a NVidia Control Panel, where I can configure dualview,
which normally lets me choose between the builtin LCD and the extern monitor (VGA-Port).
When a TV is connected and not recognized, I can enforce recognition there.
On the next start of the panel, the TV is then available too.
Perhaps I could help you.
If not, note that with windows settings your TV will not be available.
Try to go to the User Interface of your graphics adapter...

How to Enable MMS without BIS

How to enable MMS without BIS
This guide is for you if:
you have an BlackBBerry OS 7 device on a regular (non-BIS) data plan
and
2. you cannot send MMS (multimedia) messages.
Getting MMS working requires you to split, hex edit, merge and install service books, so read through the instructions and decide whether you’re up to it. I’ve attempted to explain everything as clearly as possible, but it’s a complex process and requires you to follow instructions carefully.
It's worth asking your carrier if they can just enable MMS for you. If they can and will, you don't need this guide.
Notes:
The process described here may also work on earlier devices with OS 4, 5, and 6, but I don’t have those devices to test.
Many carriers require you to have a data plan in order to send MMS messages. If you don’t have one, this guide may not help you.
Depending on your cellular plan, sending MMS messages may involve extra charges.
Preparation: Before You Get Started
Software
First, you need some tools to do the work. Download and install these three programs on your computer:
MagicBerry 3.5 (here)
A Hex editor (I like HxD, here)
BlackBerry Desktop (link)
Service Books
You will also need a copy of the service books attached to post #1 in this thread over at CrackBerry. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a location of your choice.
MMS Configuration Information
Once you have the tools and service books, you need to get the MMS configuration information from your cellular carrier.
Specifically, you need three settings: MMS Proxy, MMSC, and APN. Search on Google for something like, “MMS settings for [insert your cellular carrier’s name here]” and you should find them. Note that you also need the port number for the MMS Proxy. It should be there on the settings page.
Note: if the port number for your MMS Proxy is in the 9000s, this process probably won’t work, since your cell carrier may be using the older WAP 1.2 specification. If anyone runs across this, let me know, and I’ll try to help you out.
A Note on MagicBerry
MagicBerry is an .ipd file editor. Service books, like the ones responsible for MMS, are .ipd files. The logical conclusion would be that you could edit service books with MagicBerry. But MagicBerry only shows you certain pre-set fields within the .ipd file. As a result, you can't see or edit a lot of the information in the service book. Even worse, if you do edit a service book file with MagicBerry, that unseen information is not saved, so you end up deleting it and rendering the service book useless.
MagicBerry does have good uses, though: it splits and merges service book files perfectly. In fact, it is the best tool for splitting and merging service books, which is why you downloaded a copy.
Due to MagicBerry’s limitations, you’re going to edit the files with the hex editor.
Let’s get started!
The MMS How-to Guide
Step 1: Split the .ipd Files
Start MagicBerry, click File > Open, and open the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file.
Click Manipulate > Split.
Tick the box for the MMS Config 2.0 file.
Press “Split Selected,” enter a file name (and select a directory, so you know where the file is being saved), and press “Save.” Name the file “MMS_Config_20” so that you easily recognize it.
Note: there are "MMS Config" and "MMS Config 2.0" service books in the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file. Make sure you select the 2.0 version.
Step 2: Hex Edit the MMS Config 2.0 File
Now, start your hex editor and open the “MMS_Config_20.ipd” file. It will look like this, without the highlights and bolding. I’ve added those so that it will be easier to provide instructions on editing.
Hex Editing Basics
In the HEX editor, the blue numbers don’t matter to you (they’re just column and row labels). Only the black ones are part of the file.
The bytes (the two-character pairs) on the left side are all numbers, expressed in hexadecimal or “base-16”. The same information is expressed in ANSI characters on the right side.
The basics of hexadecimal numbering are that you count as follows:
Base-16 (hexadecimal): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10
Base-10 (decimal): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
So in the two-character byte pair, 0D = 13, 1F = 31, 50 = 80, etc. If you can figure out those conversions, you’re good. If not, google hexadecimal numbering, and spend some time at a lesson. You need to understand how hex works to do this. There are also decimal to hexadecimal converters online. Use them to check your work, or to do the conversion work for you.
You can edit the file from either side of the hex editor. As you edit the information on one side, you’ll see it automatically changing on the other as well.
It’s easier to edit the information in the green, turquoise, and red fields on the right side.
The information in the grey, yellow, and pink fields must be edited from the left (hex) side, because it’s the hex value that matters, and it shows up as periods or jibberish on the right side. All those “dots” on the right side are not identical when you look over at the left side. They’re actually very different values. The nonsensical letters on the right side are likewise meaningful values on the left side.
It’s not a bad idea to just spend some time playing around in the hex editor before you move on. When you’re done, close the file without saving it, and the changes you make while experimenting won’t be made permanent.
Editing the File
The green blocks: enter your MMS proxy in each one, with the port number following the colon. Add to or delete bytes from the highlighted field if necessary, but whatever you do, do not write over or delete bytes outside the highlighted field! Those bytes contain necessary information, and if they are not there, the service book will not work. The same rule holds true for all of the other edits. You must stay within the highlighted fields. To delete bytes, just press delete. To insert bytes, position the cursor, and go to Edit > Insert Bytes on the menu bar, and choose the number of bytes to insert. If you’re using HxD hex editor, ctrl-z will undo a mistake. It also makes your changes in red, which makes them a little easier to follow. As with all programming, the work has to be perfect. There can be no mistakes. Check everything you do carefully.
The turquoise block: enter the MMSC address here.
The red block: enter your APN here.
The yellow blocks: total number of bytes in the highlighted green, turquoise, or red range that follows. Adjust it when you’ve finished editing. The number must be expressed in HEX of course. Use a decimal to hexadecimal converter online if you prefer that.
The pink blocks: the total number of bytes in the bolded range that follow (again, in hex). Adjust it when you’re finished editing the field.
The grey block: a count of the total number of bytes that follow it. In the original file, the value is 30 01 00 00, which breaks down as: 30(hex)=48 01(hex)=256. The total (48+256) is 304. If the number of bytes following the grey block was less than 256, there would be no 01 in the second place. For example, if there were 226 bytes following the block, the grey block would look like this: E2 00 00 00. When you are finished editing the entire file, go back and adjust the number in the grey block accordingly.
Once you’re done, save the file.
Step 3: Merge the MMS Config 2.0 and Wap Push Config Service Books
Open the “MMS_Config_20.ipd” file in MagicBerry
Once you’ve opened the file, click Manipulate > Merge.
Tick the box for the MMS Config 2.0 file.
On the right side of the “Merge” window, where it says, “Choose second IPD file,” press the button with the three dots.
Choose the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file.
Tick only the box for the “Wap Push Config” service book.
Press “Merge Selected,” enter a file name (and select the directory if necessary), and press “Save.”
Close MagicBerry
Step 4: Backup Your Phone
This is mandatory. You’ll need the backup file for step 6.
You need to have BlackBerry Desktop installed on your computer. If you haven’t done that yet, do it.
Connect your BlackBerry device to your computer with a USB cable. If BlackBerry Desktop does not start automatically, start it.
Do a backup. Just hit “Back up now” and follow the prompts. Do a full backup. Once you’re done, go to step 5.
Step 5: Merge the combined MMS Config 2.0/Wap Push Config service book file with your existing service books
Open MagicBerry
Press File > Open and at the bottom of the Open dialogue window beside the File name box, change “IPD Files (.ipd)” to “BBB Files (.bbb)”. Navigate to the folder where you stored your backup, and open it. It might take a while to open.
Click Manipulate > Merge.
Go down the list on the left hand side and tick the checkboxes for the service book entries (they will be way down). If there are service books listed for MMS Config or Wap Push Config, uncheck those boxes.
On the right side of the “Merge” window, where it says, “Choose second IPD file,” press the button with the three dots. Choose your merged MMS Config 2.0/Wap Push Config file.
Press “Merge Selected,” enter a file name (and select the directory if necessary), and press “Save.”
Optional: You can merge the newly created file again with any other service books you may need – such as the Anworm service books for the browser mentioned in my thread on CrackBerry. Just follow the process used in step 3.
Step 6: Install the Service Books to your phone:
Connect your BlackBerry to your computer with a USB cable if it isn’t still connected.
On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Service Book
Hold down the “Alt” key and press S B E B. You should see a message that says, “Legacy SB Restore Enabled.” Press Okay.
On your computer, open BlackBerry Desktop.
Go to Device > Restore.
Press “Change” and navigate to the folder with the merged .ipd file you created. Press “OK.” You should now see the file listed in the Restore window.
Click on the merged .ipd file you created to select it.
Under the heading “Select Data to Restore,” select “Select Device Data and Settings” and then tick the box for “Service Book.” This step is really important. Make sure it's done right. If you screw it up you could end up wiping a lot of settings and data.
Press “Restore” and answer “Yes” to the confirmation dialogue.
Close the BlackBerry Desktop software, disconnect your device, and do a battery pull to reboot.
Voila! If everything went well, you should have MMS capabilities. Test your ability to send and receive multimedia by sending yourself a picture message. You should receive the message within about 10 seconds.
If it doesn’t work, go back and make sure EVERYTHING in the file is done perfectly. If you find a problem, fix it, merge the files again, and reinstall the service books.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why not just ask carrier to enable MMS? I know T-Mobile can and will do it, even if there is no data plan at all on the line. We did it for my daughter and I know T-Mobile has done it for others. I assume other carriers do the same, but don't know....Which is why I ask.
