In help, symbol before command symbol...

I am switching from PC to Mac...
When looking at the on screen instructions (in this case for zoom in/out in universal access), there is a symbol before the command symbol that looks something like this \-. So (\-) (command symbol) = changes the zoom. This always shows up before the command symbol. What is it?
Thanks
bob

If you look at it closely the option symbol looks a little like a railroad switch.
If you want to see a complete list, then go to:
Finder -> Help -> Symbols for special keys

HELP ME BEFORE I BLOW UP MY MAC

Okay, I just got this mac for collage. I'm a few seconds away from blowing it up. There are a bunch of things I don't understand and I really need help.
First, how do I control the volume to a more detailed level. I've gone into the system preferences, but the volume range is crap. Is there something I can do to improve how low I can set my volume?
Two, when I'm in ITunes, it wont let me arrange the songs in any order I want. For example, I want song beginning with A to be after a song that begins with a F. In other words, a random order compared to what ITunes forces me to have. I don't want it on shuffle. This question is specific to my laptop. I don't care how my iPod plays.
So any one, please, OH PLEASE, help me before I seriouslly kill this computer.

Go to System Preferences->Sound and check the box SHOW VOLUME IN MENU BAR. If you need finer control, it's easy to do. Read this for instructions:

Your Airport card will work fine with just a wireless router. Have you previously used the router as a wireless unit, or have you only been using it with a wire? Is your pc wireless capable, or only wired (ethernet, I presume)? Is your wireless router capable of connecting with a wireless computer and a wired computer at the same time?
You do not mention which Mac OS you are running on your iMac, or what version of Airport software you have just installed (and updated to?).

Help: Symbols disappear when I copy a State. Fireworks CS6

When I copy a state at least one of the symbols on the copied state disapear. I tried reinstalling fireworks but after a while the Problem appeard again.
I'm using the latest Version of Fireworks on a Mac (10.9.1). That's really annoying and time consuming.
Thanks!

I can confirm the same bug, though I believe the latest FW version is 12.0.1. Don't have any workarounds to offer — hopefully someone at Adobe will add this to their 'to fix' list, or someone else can offer a fix.

Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
file.
The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
(not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
remedy?
Thank you in advance.
Peter

also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
and vista flash cs3...

HELP: symbol netvision phone w/cisco 350

Hello
I am having trouble setting up a symbol netvision phone with my cisco ap 350 that is running 12.01T. Basically, when the phone powers up it finds the SSID for my network (if i enable the broadcast SSID). It does not seem to get an IP Address/mask. It constantly displays "No Network". I have read the caveats for this release...there is mention that the symbol phone may display this message and there is no workaround present. If anyone has a working config on the AP, please email me at [email protected] Also it would be good to know if anyone has gotten this to work with release 12.01T. I have symbol extensions enable and the preamble is set to long....Thanks!

I think the only thing you can do is to use Cisco Aironet 1100/1200 AP,instead of Cisco 350 series AP.
This isssue is not present in 1200 and 1100AP.

Query help in sql commands

using apex 4.1 i'm entering the following query in the sql command window and I keep getting a pop-up for Entering Bind Variable. I'm not using bind variables though, anyone else see this issue before?
SELECT A.FIRST,A.LAST,A.COMPANY AS CNAME,
J.TOT_MAN_HOURS,
J.ACREAGE,
W.NUM_WORKERS,
W.START_DT
FROM EW_ACCOUNTS A, EW_WORK_ORDER W, EW_JOBS J
WHERE A.ID = J.ACCT_ID
AND J.JOB_ID = W.JOB_ID
AND W.START_DT >= SYSDATE
AND W.START_DT < SYSDATE+1
ORDER BY W.START_DT

I tried that and it didn't seem to help either.
Funny though, if I write a new query against just one of the tables and write out each column name. it works. If I use the * instead of writing each column name, I have the same issue.
This is in apex.appshosting.com free demo environment. I sent them an email asking about it and they told me it was a code issue and they don't support the demo environment.

Need help with Telnet command in JSP

Here is the code I have been working on but it will not display the buffer to the page..
String [] cmd1 = {"cmd.exe","/c","telnet hqsun1.xx.xxxxx.com"};
          Process n;
          String T = "" ;
          n = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd1);
          BufferedReader in1 =
          new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
          n.getInputStream()));
          while((T=in1.readLine()) != null)
          out.println(T+"");
Maybe someone has done this before? I am trying to acomplish a telnet net session to the screen with some exicuted commands, because this tool is going to be used to help determine system status when the help desk needs to check on something.
Thanks

I don't want to be discouraging, but I'm not quite sure you've thought the problem through. You say that you'd like to create a web page capable of providing various pieces of information to the help desk, and you suggest ping and the output of various canned telnet commands as examples.
What is preventing the help desk from just executing those commands at the command prompt?
I realize that the people working the help desk are (ahem) there for a reason, but it is really much faster for me to just simply type "ping www.mpalfrey.com" at the prompt, then it is for me to fire up the web browser and wait for a response that way. You will likewise find that it is a lot more convenient to perform diagnosis on remote machines directly from the command prompt.
Uh, it's kind of like giving someone a screwdriver, then saying, "oh wait a second" and making them wear an oven mitt in order to use the screwdriver.
But, if you really want to do it this way, the best thing to do is create a wrapper class that directly calls the system command and captures the output to a stringbuffer. Then your JSP page simply has to clone that wrapper via a new() command and trigger it if you go the singleton route. The code would look something like this...
<%@ import page="com.mpalfrey.shellcommands.ping" %>
<%
   myPing foo = new myPing( request.getParameter( "victim" ) );
   foo.trigger();
%>
Ping results:
<%=foo.results()%>JSP can do a lot of wonderful things, but that doesn't mean you have to do it that way. :)

To my fellow iweb 09 users can you help me before i kill myself plz....

I am building a website in iweb 09 and came across a nice website that hass an rss feed in which it was a twitter. can you help me do the same here is the website. http://www.amrivlin.com/AMRivlin/AMRivlin.html its on his first page... i would really appreciate it very much.

There are two ways. Here's how to get what you want: got to your twitter profile and under all the people you're following on the right, where it says something about an rss feed click that link. BUT!!! before you do hold down command (Apple key) and shift and keep holding them down as you click it. A screen should flash up, but only for a second , at that time, while holding down Command and shift press 3 (the one above the letters) this takes a screenshot. Go to your desktop and find "Picture 1" Open it and look at the URL. Now open iWeb and go to you're RSS widget type in the URL and then custimize as you'd like.
The easier way......
Enter this code into an HTML snippet. THe thing is, its not an RSS, just a snippet. Here;s the link to the code: http://twitter.com/widgets/profileflashwidget

Help needed - OS Command foe deleting a file from Appplication server.

Hi,
I have requirement, where in i need to delete a file from the application server. It has to be done automatically. I thought of using OS Command for achieving the same. Can anyone help me in achieving it. The OS of my application server system is UNIX.
Thanks in advance!!
P.S: Points will be rewarded.

Hello Sudeep,
If you define the command for each operating system using transactions SM69 (You can test it with SM49) and then call it using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE which contains a parameter defining the operating system (SY-OPSYS)
then it does not matter which operating system is running, the function module always calls the correct version of the command.
So, for example you could define a command 'OS_COMMAND'
which deleted a file. This would have one version for Dos
which said 'del', and a second version for unix which said 'rm'.
The correct command would be specified by the call to SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE because the operating system parameter differentiates between the two commands.

Songs are on iPod but will not show! Help me before I lose it!

I had plugged my iPod in like I ALWAYS do and I was puting some lyrics on my songs when all of a sudden my computer beeped. It said my iPod was not connected and then my iPod reconnected. However when it did it started to ask me to sync it to my computer. I had it setup so I could manage my songs manually. I hit ignore like I have been doing and then it started to update I think but I hit cancell and then BOOM all my songs appeared to be gone both on the iPod and iTunes. But I started searching my iPod because it is a hard drive and I found my songs. They are all there but I can't get them back. I even tried to put the songs on my iPod back on my iPod by draging them into iTunes. They showed up but when I disconnected it and reconnected it they were gone again! I searched the drive and I found this message:

I am so upset I do not know what to do! Please if anyone knows how to remedy this tell me before I break my computer in frustration. I am even near tears over this. Please I beg and beseech you: HELP ME!
P.S. Norton Antivirus keeps telling me I have a corrupt file. It says: iTunes:
iTunes.exe- Corrupt File
The file or directory/iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesDB is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
What does that mean? I am scared that it is really messed up! I did delete a file under videos that had never been there but I don't see the relation. Please help!
P.P.S. I just tried to add a new song to my iPod and it showed up in iTunes but when I disconnected my iPod everything was blank again. What is wrong? Can you tell I am upset? Please help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are the songs on your computer? Do they show up in iTunes? (I am assuming they are not). Go into My Documents-->My Music-->iTunes-->iTunes Music. See if the music is there. Is it? You could also try searching your computer for a song and see if you find one or all of them.
Also, see if you can use this to get the music back into iTunes from your iPod if the music is not on your computer...
MacMuse: Computer Crashed
Once the songs are in iTunes, we need to address the chkdsk error message(s).
See this...
iPod: What to do if Windows displays an "itunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
Da Gopha: What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
Before you restore your iPod, make sure that the music is in iTunes and works/plays without your iPod conencted.
I really don't think all the song files were deleted off of your computer. Just double check and make sure the actual files are gone.

Ready to dump my G5. Please help me before I do! Kernel panics gallore!

I have been experiencing kernel panics everytime I startup my G5 for the last 5 months. It started as an occassional event until it became an every time event. I got to the point that the computer would not start even after trying 10+ times successfully. I only managed to do it by booting up with a bootable CD or with my backup Firewire drive. I was unable to boot up with the Firewire drive when I selected it as a startup disk though. In any case, the kernel panics always occur at startup. I ran all kinds of diagnostics including Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro and Disk Utilities. All 3 always showed that my computer has no problems. Every test passed. I repaired permissions countless times, followed all different advices on how to deal with kernel panics, etc. I finally decided to erase my drive by zeroing and start from scratch. Before re-installing Tiger I ran diagnostics again to make sure nothing was wrong with the drive and the rest of my computer and all tests passed. I finally re-installed Tiger and to my frustration the problem continues even when all I have loaded in my computer is Tiger. I am able to startup without getting a kernel panic the first time after I have re-installed Tiger (have done it 3-4 times in the last week or so) but then on a second trial I get back to the same situation. I forgot to mention that I got the panics even while re-installing Tiger and while running Techtool Pro. I had to perform hard startups several times before I was able to complete the tests and re-install Tiger. In most cases whenever I get the kernel panics if I don't do a hard startup my diks accelerates very rapidly and gets the fans running at full and very noisy speed. Throughout this whole deal all the diagnostics tools have been unable to identify the problem. Do I need to trash my computer? As far as I am concerned I have tried everything I can think of for the last 3 months to no avail. The situation kept deteriorating with time so it sounds like a hardware problem and as if one of the internal parts is just dying a slow death. Any words of wisdom will do. I have owned close to 7 Macs over the years (this one is about 2 years old) and this is the first time I have felt like trashing one. Please Help!!

Hello!
I had the same problem once - it was the Ram, but Hardware Test didn´t get it. It just said everythings ok - So for testing if the Ram is ok, I put out all the Ram that was in and always tried 2 slices at one time. Well it works fine to check when you have more than 2 slices of Ram, but if not maybe you´ve got friends to borrow some working Ram from them. After I´ve tried that I found out that there were 2 slices out of 6 damaged. After replacing the damaged no Kernell Panics again.
But I hope you have a less costs problem!
Yours,
Jörg

HELP! Before I throw my MP560 out the window!

I purchased a MacBook Pro in August 2010, and along with it the Canon MP560. I have it setup to print wirelessly from my macbook to the printer. Everything was going great until about a month ago. I can not get it to print, an error pops into the utility, saying "A communication error has occurred." I checked my system update and according to it, all my software is up to date.
I've also been having problems that the printer will print 1-2 inches of the page (very slowly), once it even printed 3/4 of the page before stopping...then gives "A communication error has occurred. Error Number : 306 A communication error has occurred. Make sure that the printer is plugged in, powered on, and properly connected to your computer. Then try printing again." Any ideas what is going on? Of course it is connected because it prints part of the pages.
Due in part to some bad advice I've read on here I can't even get the D&*) thing to work now and I'm about to chunk it! So if you can help, STEP BY STEP for a non-computer person like me, that would be great!

First thing, don't bother looking for an Ethernet port as Star1 suggested. This model does not have one.
The 306 communication error will occur if the wireless signal strength between the printer and router or Mac and router is poor. In most cases it is the printer at fault rather than the Mac. And this would explain the portion of the page only printing, as the machine fails to keep its connection to your wireless router.
You can check the signal strength by opening Safari and selecting the Bookmark icon in the toolbar. Within the sidebar that appears in Safari you will see Bonjour. Select this and the right pane should show the MP560. Select this and Safari will open the MP560 web page. The first page will show the Signal Strength and Link Quality. If either of these are below 50% then trying moving the printer closer to your wireless router and then refreshing the MP560 home page. If moving the printer closer to the router does not improve either measured value then try turning off the printer for a minute and then back on again. Now check the values again. If the values still fail to show better than 50% then I would suggest that the wireless channel being used by your router is changed. So if this is the case then reply and we'll explain the next steps.
If the wireless signal strength and link quality are above 50% then the printer queue can be added again. To ensure you have the latest driver for this model I suggest you download and install the [Canon v2.4.1 Printer Update|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899] from Apple. This will update the MP560 printer driver to v10.36.2.0.
With this update installed open Print & Fax and select to Add and select the Default icon. The MP560 scanner component should appear quickly, showing Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. If you don't have the scanner installed we can add this later. With the scanner showing wait a bit and the printer component should also appear, showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. Select this and the Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon MP560 series. Click Add when it does.
With the printer queue added you can open a document and try printing to the MP560. If it works then you can add the scanner. If it doesn't print and gives an error then please reply.
