How to make everything except the finder disappear?

I'd like to press one key on my keyboard and have everything but the finder get hidden. Any way to do that?

Hi there,
Not exactly 'one key' as requested, but if you hold the Cmd and Option keys and click on an application window, it will hide everything except that application. You can exploit this behaviour for your needs by cmdoptclicking on any part of your Desktop. This will hide everything except the Finder.

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name itself?

Hi everyone,
So I have this file with songs from everywhere. I spent quite some time now to make sure that the structure of each file's name is as such : "Singer - Song name", hoping that everything would be read by iTunes accordingly. However, either iTunes read it well, or it didn't read it at all ("Singer - Song name" appearing in Title alone), or iTunes read the "media" of the file (ie. what the guy I downloaded it from wrote for it in the Preferences, which usually is in capital letters or with a bunch of weird underscores). As I'm OCD and need everything to be neat, I'm highly tensed right now. I really want everything to be neat and clear!
So, how do I make sure that iTunes reads the files' names such that it knows the structure is "Singer - Song name"? Thanks.

iTunes doesn't use file names to determine how music appears in your library, Rather, it uses metadata that is split between:
data elements that are embedded within the media files
data elements that are included in the entries in the iTunes database
No amount of reorganization, renaming or other manipulation at the file level will make any difference to how songs will appear in iTunes. Using your example:
the value of the track number element is 1
the value of the artist element is "Elvis Presley"
the value of the song name element is "Blue Suede Shoes"
Depending on how you configure iTunes then the file name is either:
completely independent of iTunes (i.,e., the file containing this song could be xyz.mp3)
dependent on the metadata managed by iTunes, (i.e., when you have these two options set:
then iTunes will set the file name to be 1-01 Blue Suede Shoes.mp3 where:
the file is in a folder called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the album)
that folder is in one called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the artist) which is in iTunes Media\Music
Going back to your question "How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name" the answer is simple - you can't, as this is not how iTunes works. There are some third-party utilities that you can use to set some metadata element values based on parsing of file names which might be a useful first step. However, to use iTunes effectively you should really forget about / ignore file names - manage your media using appropriate metadata and allow iTunes to look after file names behind the scenes.

How to make iTunes detect the new location of music files?

Hi everyone. I moved all of my music to a different location on my hard drive, and I changed the location in iTunes preferences, but it doesn't seem to detect this, so my library is empty now. I saved an itl, xml, and temp file as well, but I don't know what to do from here.
I also tried dragging the new music folder onto the "Library" entry in iTunes, and this added everything, but I no longer have my ratings, playlists or anything like that.
Is there some other way to have iTunes detect the new location? And can I get back my ratings and playlists?
Thanks.

How to make preflight profile witch find out if exist in document spot color with name "CutContour", if not show allert, I try many combinations but nothing works

Thanks very much for your help, but I'm still overlooking something. I double checked to make sure that I did not have a hidden .txt file extention. I then decided to abandon the lock on preferences idea until I get it working. I converted my mozilla.cfg file back to plain text. I made sure I do not have an extra blank line at the end of each file. The syntax looks good, as far as I can tell. I'll copy and paste what I have so far. Did I have the file locations correct posted above? Also, if you feel i can delete some lines of text in my mozilla.cfg file I'll be happy to do so.

How to make every folder in finder snap to grid

Hi, does anyone know how to make every folder in finder snap to grid? Without having to go one by one into the view options?
Thanks!

Open a folder, CMD+J, set it up as you want it, and click on the Use as Defaults button. That will set it for all unopened folders. For those previously opened and having other settings, you'll have to reapply it to each.

It's simple... I want the Illustrator pen tool to ALWAYS make corner annchor points and NEVER smooth. Right now I have to convert every single one of them, or I have to do a work around every time I draw a line and make one of the handles disappear. Is

It's simple... I want the Illustrator pen tool to ALWAYS make corner annchor points and NEVER smooth. Right now I have to convert every single one of them, or I have to do a work around every time I draw a line and make one of the handles disappear. Is there some simple setting out there that will just "make it so?"@

The video I am watching this guy is just dragging every line to make curves. And every anchor point is a corner. He is not switching back and forth between the pen and the anchor points tool, and he is not using the convert points tool. He draws a curved line and starts another straight line only to curve it with a click and a drag. It is super efficient, and I could save a world of time if I could figure out what he is doing.

How to make use of the presentation variable in SQL result query

I have 2 prompts in my dashboard.
Prompt1 decides the values of Prompt2.
I have set a presentation Variable (selected_comp) in prompt1 which holds the value selected.
To populate the values for Prompt2, I need to execute a query using the presenation variable set by Prompt1.
SELECT "List Of Values".RID from rocketv2_3 WHERE "List Of Values".NAME='COMPONENT' AND "List Of Values".VAL=@{selected_comp}
the query is resulting into
SQL Issued: SELECT "List Of Values".RID from rocketv2_3 WHERE "List Of Values".NAME='COMPONENT' AND "List Of Values".VAL=0
but the value in selected_comp is "ABC".
Can anybody help in how to make use of the presentation variable in query to get the correct value
thanks
Shubha

Just use constrain check box to filter your 2nd prompt values based on the 1st prompt.
Thanks,

How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite?

How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite? I tried re-setting the media folder location, but it didn't work. What else should I do?

The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

How to make restriction for the description of value in the transformation

one infoobject AAAA which has value T001, T002, T003...
the description of value
T001 - Heywemay
T002 - Heyrtya
T003 - Tyuatyew
I need to make routine in the transformation, when the description of value that contains "Hey", then we need to load it into infoprovider, otherwise we need to delete data package. Now the issue is the filed in source is only Key, not description. But, we had maintained the description for infoobject AAAA. Anyboady know how to make restriction in the transformation, ?
that means we only need to load data into infoprover once the description of value that contains "Hey". Should I add field 0TXTMD into infoprovider and make the link from infoobject AAAA? Thanks for any input.

Hi,
Write the Start routine to delete complete data packet whic won't have "Hey".
DELETE SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE TXTMD NP '"Hey'.
If you want load the data with blank for that InfoObejct if it won't contains "Hye".
Write this code at TXTMD infoObejct level.
if SOURCE_PACKAGE-TXTMD NP 'Hey' .
RESULT = ' '.
elseif SOURCE_PACKAGE-TXTMD CP 'Hey' .
RESULT = SOURCE_PACKAGE-TXTMD.
endif.
Note: In the above code I'm giving logic to do the same, but for code corrections please check with ABAPer.
Thanks

Can any body tell me how to make changes in the print layout of Fb03.

hi,
Can any body tell me how to make changes in the print layout of Fb03.
I want to add comapny address on the layout.
Regards
Mave

If you mean the correspondence, you have to change the configuration in Financial Accounting -> AR and AP -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Invoices -> Carry Out abd Check Settings for Correspondence. There, you need to assign your custom Program or Layout for the Correspondence Type (like SAP19) and Program.
If you mean the display layout in transaction FB03, You can change a few settings, mainly with BKPF and BSEG fields. I don't think you can add company address, though.
Good luck,

[Solved] Updating everything except the Linux kernel

Hello,
Since a few weeks, wicd has problems with recent versions of kernel on my computer. Is there a way to update everything except the linux package?
Thanks in advance.

You can hold any package from updating by uncommenting the IgnorePkg option on your pacman.conf and listing said package(s) there.
