PLEASE HELP!

Many people have this experience with Windows 8, which is becoming a byword for unpopularity.
Still, a bit of basic understanding is important. People have got used to just getting a new version of Windows and using it, without training or study. Not any more, thanks to Microsoft's bright ideas.
Here are some very crucial things about Windows 8.
1. Windows 8 has a new kind of app (program). These new kinds of apps take over the whole screen. Microsoft thinks these are the future. I won't tell you what I think. Except, if this new world is so great, why don't Microsoft use it for their own Office apps. A
2. The old world of Windows 7 and before is still available with most Windows 8 computers, except some cheap tablets and phones. Microsoft like to call this an app called "Desktop" which is really all of the old-fashioned, windows-can-be-resized, apps together.
3. Most apps are "new world" or "old world". Everything in the App Store is new world - that's the rule. A few apps (like Internet Explorer) can run in either world.
4. Windows 8 comes with a PDF reader "out of the box". This runs only in the new world and it's called "Microsoft Reader". Don't bother with it.
5. Adobe produce a "new world" PDF reader called "Adobe Reader Touch". Marginally better than Microsoft Reader, it's just not a patch on the old one; there are loads of things it doesn't do, and worst of all it's always full screen because Microsoft said so. No need to use it. Just download the old world Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader as usual. (Be sure to turn off the unwanted "free offers"!!)

With a wired keyboard and a 2014 iMac I cannot select multiple items which are not next to each other

I have recently changed from Windows 7 desktop to a new iMac running Mavericks. I have chosen a wired keyboard as I like the usual Delete key function.
I cannot find out how to select several items which are not next to each other (e.g. words in Pages). The well known method in Windows, which is repeated in the the Apple Finder Help screen, does not work. Would be grateful for advice

Hi JBowfin,
If I am understanding your question correctly, I believe that I have an article that will address this question for you:

How to select multiple nodes, which are not next to each other, in a tree?

The following code suppose to allow user select any combination of nodes (because of DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION), however, I can only select nodes which are next to each other. Can some one told me how to make this DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION work?
Thank you very much!
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
public class TestTree extends JFrame {
public TestTree() {
super();
setBounds(0,0,500,500);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JTree tree = new JTree();
getContentPane().add(tree);
TreeSelectionModel model = new DefaultTreeSelectionModel();
model.setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION);
tree.setSelectionModel(model);
public static void main(String [] args) {
TestTree test = new TestTree();
test.show();

In Windows you hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on the nodes you want to select. Don't know the equivalent in other environments.

How do I export 2 picture next to each other on the same page for a before and after effect?( a 2 in one picture)

Hi,
This link pretty much sums sup what I want to do Francesco Tonelli PhotographyPortfolio - 35. I have read a lot of blogs explaining that the way to do it is in the print module page. I tried this but when I save the picture, I lose edits and my whites become off brown. Is there a way to just export the pictures as a 2 in 1 format?

There is not an "Export" option from the Print module, so you need to understand that "Print to JPG" is in fact creating (or 'sending') a new image file somewhere in your computer. You should also have selected all the printing options in the print panels, just as you would if you were printing on your own attached printer.
When you click on the "Print to File" button, Lightroom should offer you a dialog to save the new (dyptych) image in a folder of your choice with a name of your choice. Note: You must remember where you saved this new image file!
This new image file will not appear in the Lightroom library, so to have it appear in your Lightroom library you must either use the "Import" module, or the "Synchronize Folder" option- Locating the new file or folder where you saved it! Only after this will you see it in Lightroom, where you will now have access to all Export functions to resize, etc.
If you do not need to see it in Lightroom- there is no need to import it, just use your computer system file finder to locate the JPG file to send, print, email, etc.

VGA and HDMI ports are next to each other; any VGA cable blocks HDMI port; want 3 displays.

The VGA & HDMI ports are right next to each other on the left side of the laptop. I ultimately would like to connect two monitors to it, but am unable to occupy both ports because the everyday end of a VGA cable/extender is too wide. Any solutions?

Hi, Firstly you won't get 3 displays without buying more hardware for your dv7 that why you won't be able to plug 2 ports at the same time. Regards.

Mac Mini and MacBook can't 'see' each other on the network

I have an 'old' Mac Mini set up to the Airport Extreme base station via ethernet cable and can happily connect to the internet. I also have a MacBook that connects wirelessly to the AEBS. A couple of things frustrate me..
Although I can connect to the internet from the Mini the Airport Utility can rarely find the base station so any diagnostics are impossible.
Also, the two macs are unable to find each other over the network. Both have personal file sharing turned on in the prefs. Occasionally the MacBook identifies my Mini on the network but when I try and connect (clicking on the alias) i get the "the alias XXX's computer could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found".
This is frustrating as I would like to share/copy files over the network.
Is there something simple I am missing?

A couple of things to check.
The Mini will need to have file sharing turned on.
And the appropriate holes in its firewall set.
It should be assigned its IP number by DHCP.
It should not be plugged into the WAN port on the
AEBSn.
Using Terminal (on the mini)
You should be able to PING the other computer,
And you should be able PING a computer on the
internet.
ie. apple.com
Hi
File sharing is on and firewall is off. As I mentioned I have connection to the internet and can ping apple.com. It is not plugged into the WAN port on the AEBSn - the modem is plugged in there. The IP is assigned by DHCP
I can ping the macbook (when the alias is in Finder) but I get a "connection failed...server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again" when I try to connect.

When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

Extra pages can be a sign that a bad add-on has crept into your Firefox. For example, an Astromenda infection.
cor-el pointed you toward Firefox's Add-ons page, and I suggest also checking here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
For further cleaning, try the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to FOlder and type in ~/Library/keychains
Click the login.keychain once to Highlight and then from the Finder's File Menu do a Get Info (CMD and I Keys together)
In the Info Panel go to the Bottom and see if you Own the File
(Open the Padlock and then the cogwheel icon and your shortname should be there greyed Out about making you the Owner).
In the list above that you should be listed with Read and Write permissions.
If you don't have Read and Write permissions you will not store any new password.

SUM and count next to each other

SUM and count next to each other
I would like to have the measurements SUM and COUNT cells being next to each other.
As a default it shows up like this:
.......SUM............. COUNT
......RegionA RegionB RegionA RegionB
2000..... $..... $..... nn..... nn
2001..... $..... $..... nn..... nn
2002..... $..... $..... nn..... nn
Can I change this somehow to:
......RegionA.....RegionB
......SUM COUNT ...SUM COUNT
2000...$....nn......$... nn
2001...$....nn......$... nn
2002...$....nn......$... nn
thnx
Endre

Select your axis "Region" and move it over (i.e. on top of) your data points (SUM, COUNT, etc.).
