How to make my Aluminum Casing Look new again

How can I clean up my physical appearence of my mac so as to make it look all new and shiny. There are sever ***** and dents which I can open it up and smooth it out, but there are some scratches and spots where the paint has rubbed of and I want to paint over it.

Your best bet would be to just go on eBay and find someone who sells the LCD casing by itself. I got one for $50+ from LaptopAid (user ID / seller).
Or, you can buy one BRAND NEW from WeLoveMacs.com for $99.99 (or it might have been $79.99). An Apple OEM part.
There's no other way to make your lid/casing brand new. And it's "easy" to pop off and put the new one in. You don't have to take off the display unit just to do it, as I learned.
Also, the top casing where the keyboard is is also replaceable. Also got mine on eBay. The model A1106 and after are easy to take off. Before that, is harder, since there was a "latch" on the top of the optical drive area that had to be undone before you could replace the top case or even remove it. Putting it back together was a pain, and most people who've done so have shown evidence of doing so, since the top case and bottom pan don't line up anymore.
Although, do you have an Aluminum or a Titanium?? You said "there are some scratches and spots where the paint has rubbed off and I want to paint over it."
Our aluminums don't have paint on it. It's strictly aluminum. So there's no paint to paint over.

It could be as simple as clipping an image of the fabric of your choice, to a text layer.
In this example the Hessian texture was downloaded from Google images, and placed over a Type layer. You then Alt (Opt) click the intersection of the Type and Hessian layer to clip them together. This just means that only the shape of the underlying layer will show in the clipped layer.

Yes, you can do it the same as any other database. The code would be similar.
I'd also suggest you not to use the JDBC ODBC bridge for connection. There are other drivers available for that.

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start, but keep last sessions?

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

Hello,
You can change your home page settings to open a blank tab:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
* Beside "Startup", change to "Show a blank tab"

How to make Recovery Partition in my new HDD (Win8.1)

I already re-install my Win8 with usb.
But after finish the installation (I choose Fully Clean in my new HDD), why there is no Recovery Partition like my old HDD (original HDD)?
how to make a Recovery Partition in my new HDD?
Thx

Creating the recovery partition
Right-click the start orb, and start 'Disk Management'.
Shrink the C: drive by let's say 20-30GB.
Then create a new Partition and assign the R: label to it and name it RECOVERY.
Then open command prompt as administrator and type: 'recimg /createimage <directory>',
In this case: 'recimg /createimage R:\' to save it on the new partition.
This step may consume a lot of time.
Now we need to register the newly created recovery image: 'recimg /setcurrent <directory>'
'recimg /setcurrent R:\'
Voila you are done.
Restoring from recovery partition
You may want to use this restoring method by default, because it is the easiest way to do so if your recovery partition is still intact. If not, look at the other recovery methods to see which suits you best. This is usually the way you reset or refresh your Windows installation if you purchase a computer from a brand like Lenovo instead of building one yourself
Press the Windows-key + C to open the charms bar or swipe in from the right.
Click Settings.
Click Change PC Settings.
Click Update & Recovery in the menu on the left.
Click Recovery.
If all your documents are safe and sound in your user folder, you can use Refresh your PC without affecting files. However I still recommend taking a back-up... If you want to do a complete reinstallation of Windows and also clean your user folder in the process then choose Remove everything and reinstall Windows.

How to make embedded HTML form look normal?

Hello,
In Muse, if I Insert HTML code with:
<form action="action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
<br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
…the form is displayed in my Muse page. However, it doesn't look normal, meaning:
- The text fields have no border and appear to be invisible until you start typing in them.
- The Submit button size is minimal, wrapping tightly around the text, and there is no border or bevel.
* I have experimented with specifying an HTML border and width in the above code, with no change in results.
Basically, this HTML code looks normal in a regular .html page. However, in a Muse page (with Insert HTML), the visual appearance of the form elements looks abnormal… stripped-down.
Can anyone suggest a way to add HTML form content and make it look correct? I don't want to use the Muse Form Widgets, because they all "require" the email field, and I don't want that capability. Thanks for any suggestions.

I answered my own problem.
It seems that the solution is having knowledge of CSS, which I don't. That's what Muse is supposed to provide, and I'm not a CSS expert.
At http://www.ronpershing.com/blog/how-to-make-a-custom-contact-form-in-adobe-muse/ , Ron Pershing gives some very simple code on making it all work with Muse. I'm not affiliated with him or his website, but since he was kind enough to publish a solution, his work should get some attention.

How to make Dictation give me a new paragraph?

I've learned how to make Dictation do most of the things I want as far as formatting, quotation marks, and capitalization goes, but it definitely does not work for me when I say "new line" or "new paragraph". It treats new line by leaving one space between sentences, and treats new paragraph by leaving two spaces between. But they're always on the same line. Ideas appreciated. The default support page didn't help me.

Ah, yes, thank you! That's it

How to make fonts in firefox look prettier? For example like in sleipnir

Hello,
I wonder if there is a way to make fonts in firefox look smooth and easy to read?
I've tried using Sleinpir browser (http://www.fenrir-inc.com/us/sleipnir/) which has aimed to provide smooth and readable text and almost every piece of text looks just better and more pleasant to read.
I've tried almost every setting both in Options dialog and in about:config (under gfx.font filter).
Enabling rendering via directwrite helped a lot, but it's still nothing compared to Sleipnir.
Here are some screenshots:
Default firefox - http://s5.postimg.org/8ifmq7u7p/ff_default.png
Firefox with directwrite enabled - http://s5.postimg.org/k15xb3c1h/ff_directdraw.png
Sleipnir - http://s5.postimg.org/5w049a305/sleipnir_default.png
So is there a way to make fonts look this pretty in firefox? Is there any iniciative to make FF capable of such thing?
Thanks a lot
(EDIT: I've even tried instaling gdi++ https://code.google.com/p/gdipp/ alternative renderer for windows, but it doesn't seem to make any change in firefox)

How to make a tabstrip visible and invisible again?

Hi
I have a GUI with Fields, Texts, Checkboxes, Radio buttons, a Button and of
course a tabstrip with 7 tabs.
Before I want to show some data in the tabs of the tabstrip, I have to fill the fields, check a radio button and checkboxes. After filled all entries needed, I will start
the preparation of the data with clicking on the button.
Before the click on the button the tabstrip has to be invisible. After the preparation
of the data I will make the tabstrip with its tabs visible.
All this is in the same dynpro (e.g. 0100). I don't build it together with to dynpros.
I tried with LOOP AT SCREEN ... ENDLOOP, but the tabstrip does not appear.
The only attribute accessable is "activetab".
How to make that happen?
Thanks for your help
Frowin

Hi
Suppose you have 3 screen:
- 1 main screen (100)
- 2 subscreen    (101, 102)
In the subscreen 101 you need to design your tabstrip (so you need to move your tabstrip from main screen), the subscreen 102 has to be empty.
In the PBO of screen 100:
PROCESS PBO.
MODULE SET_SUBSCREEN.
CALL SUBSCREEN SUBAREA INCLUDING V_REPID V_SCREEN.
In the module SET_SUBSCREEN, you insert the code you need to choose the right subscreen:
IF _SHOW = 'X'.
V_SCREEN = '0101'.
ELSE.
V_SCREEN = '0102'.
ENDIF.
The flag _SHOW is setted in PAI after pressing the button:
MODULE USER_COMMAND.
    CASE OK_CODE.
       WHEN 'SHOW'. _SHOW = 'X'.

How to make a mangled circle smooth-edged again

AI CS3.<br /><br />I'm fixing someone else's file. I've got a circle (filled with a gradient) into which an irregular shape (basically a square which was curved on the edge where it met the circle) was cut. The square had to be deleted (it contained a graphic we didn't want) which left me with a big white squarish space cut into the circle.<br /><br />I can move the two corner points that formed the square out to the edge of the circle, but I can't figure out how to make them curve points. Right now I've got a circle with some straight line segments that ruin the circular path.<br /><br />I knew how to do this in FreeHand. <grumble><br /><br />If someone can tell me how to do a Paste Into in Illustrator, I might be able to go back to my original file and paste the gradient into the irregular shape and match it up with the gradient in the circle.<br /><br />TIA,<br /><br />Marlene

FillBy always fills in the same row in data grid view. How to make it fill in a new row for each click of the Fillby Button? VB 2010 EXPRESS?

Hi there,
I am a beginner in Visual Basic Express 2010. I have a Point of Sale program that uses DataGridView to display records from an external microsoft access
database using the fillby query.
It works, but it repopulates the same row each time, but i want to be able to display multiple records at the same time, a new row should be filled for
each click of the fillby button.
also I want to be able to delete any records if the customer suddenly decides to not buy an item after it has already been entered.
so actually 2 questions here:
1. how to populate a new row for each click of the fillby button
2. how to delete records from data grid view after an item has been entered
Thanks
Vishwas

Hello,
The FillBy method loads data according to what the results are from the SELECT statement, so if there is one row then you get one row in the DataGridView, have two rows then two rows show up.
Some examples
Form load populates our dataset with all data as it was defined with a plain SELECT statement. Button1 loads via a query I created after the fact to filter on a column, the next button adds a new row to the existing data. When adding a new row it is appended
to the current data displayed and the primary key is a negative value but the new key is shown after pressing the save button on the BindingNavigator or there are other ways to get the new key by manually adding the row to the backend table bypassing the Adapter.
The following article with code shows this but does not address adapters.
Conceptually speaking the code in the second code block shows how to get the new key
Public Class Form1
Private Sub StudentsBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(
sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles StudentsBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.StudentsBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.MyDataSet)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'MyDataSet.Students' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
Me.StudentsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MyDataSet.Students)
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.StudentsTableAdapter.FillBy(Me.MyDataSet.Students, ComboBox1.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Me.MyDataSet.Students.AddStudentsRow("Jane", "Adams", "Female")
End Sub
End Class
Get new key taken from
this article.
Public Function AddNewRow(ByVal sender As Customer, ByRef Identfier As Integer) As Boolean
Dim Success As Boolean = True
Try
Using cn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection With {.ConnectionString = Builder.ConnectionString}
Using cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand With {.Connection = cn}
cmd.CommandText = InsertStatement
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CompanyName", sender.CompanyName)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ContactName", sender.ContactName)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ContactTitle", sender.ContactTitle)
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmd.CommandText = "Select @@Identity"
Identfier = CInt(cmd.ExecuteScalar)
End Using
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
Success = False
End Try
Return Success
End Function
In closing I have not given you a solution but hopefully given you some stuff/logic to assist with this issue, if not perhaps I missed what you want conceptually speaking.

How to make a handwriting font look like real handwriting in InDesign CS5

This is a script I've written (AppleScript) that addresses the problem most handwriting fonts have — they look like fonts, mostly because they're settled so regularly along the baseline and their glyphs are so uniform.
It began as a way for me to address a need for a project I was working on, something designed to look like a scrapbook. I was using the "Journal" typeface designed by Fontourist (http://www.dafont.com/journal.font), which gave me a good balance of readability and organic feel, but of course it had the same issues as all other fonts of its ilk.
To address that I wrote a script to trawl the taxt frames in a specified CS5 INDD document, looking fist to see if they had that font as their active one, after which the script shifts each glyph up or down the baseline by a random amount, gives each glyph a random stroke weight change, and finally tints each glyph a random amount off of its basic tint.
Each of these changes is very subtle, with the result being something that looks considerably more organic and hand-made than the font did out of the can. The script should be easily modified by anyone who wants to run it using a different font instead of "Journal". Here it is. Enjoy!
-- This script changes the baseline offset, stroke width, and color tint
-- of any type set in the "Journal" typeface to randomized values, giving
-- the text a much more organic look and feel.
-- Written by Warren Ockrassa, http://indigestible.nightwares.com/
-- Free to use, modify and distribute, but I'd prefer attribution.
-- Note that this script can take quite a while to execute with larger
-- or more complex files.

if theItem is not equal to 0 then

         tell active document
             -- Determine how many text frames we need to change
             set myFrames to the number of text frames
             if myFrames is not equal to 0 then
                 set theFrame to 1
                 repeat until theFrame > myFrames
                     set myText to text frame theFrame
                     set myFont to applied font of character 1 of myText as string

                             set fill tint of thisCharacter to myTint
                             set stroke tint of thisCharacter to myTint
                         end repeat
                     end if
                     set theFrame to (theFrame + 1)
                 end repeat
             end if
         end tell
     end tell
     beep
     display dialog "Modifications finished!" buttons {"Groovy!"} default button 1
else
     display dialog "Operation cancelled" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end if

For the fonts, the really cheap and dirty method would probably be to load the names of the fonts you want to use into an array variable in the AppleScript, then get a random index count to grab one of the font names out of that array.
The script as it exists now goes character by character - you'd want to revise it so it went word by word instead, or else you'd end up setting each word's character to one of your random font choices. Instead of
repeat with thisCharacter in (characters of myText)
you'd do something like
repeat with thisWord in (words of myText)
As for loading an array variable in AppleScript - I've not done that before, but it's probably something like:
set myFontArray to {"Papyrus", "Arial", "Comic Sans"}
The curly braces are necessary, as it appears that AppleScript supports lists rather than arrays (a minor but not entirely unimportant detail). Anyway, from there, you'd grab one font at a time, randomly, probably like this:
set myWordFontNumber to random ( length of myFontArray ) - 1
set myWordFont to item myWordFontNumber of myFontArray
You do the first line to get a random number based on the number of items in your list of fonts. You subtract 1 from it because the count on the actual list begins at 0 rather than 1, which means that sometimes you'll get a random number that's actually 1 larger than the number of items in the list, and you'll never see the first item (which is at position 0). This is a very old-school gotcha when working with arrays and lists - a ten-item list will count from 0 to 9, not 1 to 10.
From there, you'd set the given word in your text frame's font to the name of the font you pulled out of the myFontArray variable. You'll want to make sure that the font names you load into your list are the actual names of the fonts you're working with - the examples I used here probably won't work.
Please note that this is just a high-level gloss of what you'd need to do in order to modify the script. You'll have to hit the AppleScript documentation (and InDesign's scripting documentation) to get the precise syntax.
