In TextEdit, how can one change scrolling behavior so that,

e.g., with the insertion point at the bottom of the window, pressing the down arrow advances the text one line rather than jumping 1/2 the window?
thx

I'm not sure what you mean by "normal".
When one presses the down arrow, one's eye follows the insert point down, one line at a time, because that is the location of interest. After it reaches the bottom of the page, pressing the down arrow causes the page to
jump ½ of a page
at which point, one's eye has to move back up that ½-of-a-page to get to the insertion point (which, yes, has moved only one line with respect to the logical text). That eye movement is disorienting and a time-waster as one searches for the insertion point.
Moving a full window (or a page when displaying one full document page in the window) at a time is warranted at times (e.g., when skimming) and should be enabled at user-discretion by a shortcut. But that is not for "normal" reading, i.e., when one is reading each line. Jumping ½-of-a-page never was and is not a normal way of reading. It should not be the only way to move through a file.

    how can i change the automatic ID that apppears in my iPhone where in fact it is not my apple ID in the first place?

    The automatic ID DaintyDaisy is talking about is when you go to your app store and it shows you as logged in under a certain Apple ID, and asks you for the password to log in.  If this is not the correct Apple ID, then we (including me!!!) need to know where to go to re set it.  I followed some other discussions and one link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796  shows you how to sign out, but when the Apple ID is greyed out, it doesn't help!!! Typical Apple world... get tangled and suffer for endless hours trying to fix one problem... but there is a million more to fix (like getting the righ App to download pictures from one's iPhone).

    If the song is indicating a "Kind" of "Protected AAC," that is not a setting.  It is an indication that the file contains Digital Rights Management (DRM).  DRM cannot be removed through normal conversion processes.

    How can I change the appe ID that is registred in my Ipad? It was bought for a friend and he put his own ID. I have my ID but I don' t know how I can install it in my Ipad

    Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with your id. But if there is any content on the iPad from his account then you are probably better off resetting back to factory defaults via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings and starting 'as new' with it - content is tied to the id that bought/downloaded it so your account won't be able to download updates to any of his apps, and unless his account is authorised on your computer's iTunes and his content is on there then it will be deleted when you sync to it.

    There are still many CDs around that are designed to make it difficult to rip, especially those from the Warner Brothers group.
    Some that will not rip on a Windows machine will do OK on a Mac.  If you have access to a Mac try it there, and bring the resulting MP3s back to your Windows machine on a flash drive so you can add them to your iTunes library.

  • How can one change the channel of a screen control within Mainstage?

    The issue that I'm having is that some 3rd party apps (Dimension Pro in particular) seem to receive Sustain (64) messages on only Midi Channel 1
    I'm using a multi zone controller, with sounds set in MainStage to respond to different channels. I've got it all working well except . . Dimension Pro won't "see" a controller message if it's sent from any channel other than channel 1.
    I was even having the same problem with certain sounds in Kontakt.
    So the question is . . how can one shift the channel of these messages over to channel 1?
    Better question, how can I get Dimension Pro to respond to a controller on a channel other than 1, but I suspect this is not the forum for such questions!
    Thanks in advance,

    You may be able to achieve the desired results by a different method. I have an Axiom, but I don't assign zones in it. I just send one zone to Mainstage and handle it all there. You can layer and or split a practically unlimited number of instruments and assign screen controls easily. You probably want to set up all screen controls at the concert level in layout mode. You can later override concert mapping in individaul patches if you want. For instance, you could use an expression pedal for volume(7) on one patch and for modulation(1) on another patch. You can send that control to one instument channel strip or you can choose to send to all. To do this, select a screen control in edit mode. In the screen control inspector, check the overide concert mapping box. You will then see two additional tabs-mappings and unmapped. Select the mappings tab. In the mapping list, double-click "Unmapped". You can the map the screen control to any single  instrument channel strip in this list or send to all. Select one and then choose a mapping destination. If you want to map expression to one instrument and not others there's another way. Select an instrument channel strip, then selct MIDI input in the software channel strip inspector. Check the filter expression box. This instument will now not respond to expression, but the other intruments in this patch will. You can filter some other events on this page. The layer editor tab allows you full control ol splits and layering options of all your instruments in this patch. Hope this helps.

  • How can I change the behavior of a key?

    Hi. I have bought a new Macbook Air on the US, and I configured it to use a Spanish keyboard layout.
    When I press alt+the button left to 1, I want a backslash \, but I'm getting a ≤ symbol.
    How can I change this?
    Thanks

    Hmmm, I don't really see how to do it there, since that is for assigning keyboard shortcuts for menu functions.

    You might have to transfer purchases to your account. If its signed in on a different account. Or,
    1. Go to iTunes on your iPod.
    2. Click music and scroll down to the bottom on your iPod.
    3. It should show the apple ID that's signed in, and press it and choose sign out.
    4. Then click sign in and it should work.
    Hope this helps.

    What you're describing can't be achieved using the built-in comments summary function of Acrobat, but it can certainly be done if a custom-made script it used to generate the summary because then you're in full control of what's included in it and what's not.
