Is it possible to switch between whether or not the previously clicked button or link remains highlighted when you go back a page?
When clicking on a link in Firefox, it selects that link and takes the user to the connected page. If the user then goes back a page, different situations happen on different (but identical) computers. On some computers, the previous clicked link stays highlighted/selected and then the Tab key goes to the next link. On other computers, going back clears the previous selected link, in which causes the Tab key to start scrolling through item from the top of this page. Is there a way to set Firefox to do this one way or the other? Is this a Windows issue and not an Firefox issue?
You can avoid that by opening the link in a new tab with a middle-click.<br />
The you can close that tab with a middle click on that tab after you are done and go back to the tab with the links.

I have created a form for my boss and distributed it. She doesn't want the submit form button to appear as people don't need to submit the form to anyone, just fill it in and keep a copy. I can't figure out how to remove this button. It's not one I've created, it's the one that it automatically generates when you don't have a submit button in your form. Is it possible to remove this button or do we just have to live with it? I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
ThanksYou can have more control on the email subject/ to and CC Email address, if you use a regular button and place the code in the click event.
Refer to the attached sample below.

How to switch between 2 windows of the same application using Cmd+Tab
Hi,
I am using my mac now since about 10 months. I was used to work with Linux and Windows XP.
Something I am badly missing on mac os x is the possibility to switch between 2 windows of the same application using cmd + tab just like it simply works for Linux and Windows (and maybe many other OS out there!).
Very often I have 2 text files open in 2 editor windows (e.g. TextEdit) and need to copy and paste text from one window to the other. I was used to simply use ALT+TAB. But here I have to get my right hand away from the keyboard and use the mouse to change the focus from one window to the other and then use the mouse again to get the focus back to the previous TextEdit windows.
THIS REALLY *****!!!! It makes me crazy. I cannot believe that such a "modern" OP does not support this action. I must be doing something completely wrong or did not understand the mac correctly. Right?
Does anyone have an idea how I can get mac to do something all other operating systems so easily do?
Thanks
Quartz84Hi Kappy,
well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
WHY NOT???
Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.
Cheers

I am also looking to get whether or not the document is open in a browser window which can be done with event.target.external, but I want it to happen without any user interaction and all the events that I tried while loading the document cause an error. I also tried xfa.host.name, but it always returns "Acrobat" whether the doc is in Reader or the browser, so I guess that is not it. If I put the call to event.target.external in a button, it works (I guess those libraries might not be initialized yet, they are legacy, but I don't know if there is an event that happens on load after that lib is initialized).
// Check the document URL to determine if the form is open in the browser (online) or not (offline)
var MyDoc = event.target;
var MyURL = MyDoc.URL;
if ((MyURL.indexOf("http:") >=0) || (MyURL.indexOf(".tmp") >= 0))
ONLINE_STATUS_SAVE.rawValue = "ONLINE";
else
ONLINE_STATUS_SAVE.rawValue = "OFFLINE"; -
Why does auto brightness has a bug in iOS 7.1.1 . The brightness switches automatically to higher in bright places but not returns to lower brightness in dark places but when you lock and unlock it becomes normal
Hello,
Same problem for me. Really a pain in the *** this bug ! Does Apple fixed it. I'm really suprised noone reports this problem and apple does not adress this.
Because of that, I cannot give it anymore to children because it hurts the view. Really a shame on the part of apple !

Method to determine whether or not the main clip is playing
Is there an AS3 method that will return whether or not the swf has been paused? I tried to google this but I'm not getting anything.
I have no familiarity with Captivate. Isn't there any ability for the captivate button to indicate that the pause has been executed? Maybe you should try posting in the Captivate forum.

I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fault lies at my end or at the other end
If only the language is Hebrew, you should correct it in the Paragraph and Character Styles.
But in such a case I would expect more problems.
If you are a creative cloud subscriber you should additionally install the InDesign version, English with Hebrew support:
Go to the preferences of you CC.app. It is found behind the Gear Symbols on the top right.
When the preferences open, go to the Apps section.
Change the App Language to English with Hebrew support.
Now you can install it. It will install on the very same place where your InDesign program is found some additional plugins, which will give you access to Hebrew functionality, like RTL text. Otherwise you will inherit in the document (and where you copy and paste it from such a document into another one). But now you can change or repair problems.
Now repeatstep 1 + 2, but you need not to install your own language again. InDesign will now, when started, run in the language of your OS (when you have it installed in that language) but with more functionality to handle problems with Hebrew documents.
The same steps you would have to do with Arabic or Asian documents. These languages will also add more plugins. But keep it limitted to those language you need. I have installed it that way, because I get sometime documen where the text flows the wrong direction or the numbers come up in Farsi digit, not in Arabic digits. For such purposes I need versions in languages I don’t understand myself. -

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software. -
Is it possible to Change Product when you replace Back Panel
Hi, Recently i have changed the Back Panel of my Notebook ( HP Pavillion G6), just now i checked the system model with the help of Belarc Advisor it is showing as Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion g4 Notebook PC.Is it possible to change the product when you replace Back panel. ThanksSrinu Chigulla
Hello , Welcome back to the HP Support Forums! When you replaced the back panel, did you replace any internal components as well? As long as you didnt replace any internal parts, then the model of your notebook should not be different. Please let me know if this information was helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.

How does one switch between graphics cards on a RMB Pro that has both a regular and high performance card installed?
There's no control built into OS X to manually switch between them (that I know of). But in your Energy Saver preferences, there is setting called Automatic Graphics Switching that will either keep the discrete GPU on all the time, or automatically switch it off when not in use. Do you already have this preference turned on?
It might keep the high performance graphics card on if it's plugged into AC power, since there is no battery life penalty in that case. -
Is it possible to switch between dictation languages with a keyboard shortcut
On my MacBook Pro I can use the dictation feature to dictate in either English or Japanese, and it seems to work pretty well.
However, if I want to switch between dictation languages, I have to go into settings and choose the installed language.
With Siri on my iPhone 5, if I switch the keyboard between languages then Siri dictation also switches to that language. That doesn't seem to happen in OS X.
Is there some keyboard shortcut I can use to switch between dictation languages to save time? When dictating in Japanese it is very common to also enter an English word here and there.
Thanks,

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5449
Sometimes their support documents are a bit outdated. I have just recently noticed that feature. But surely they must know about it if they created it.
Anyway, the problem isn't with the shortcut. That works fine. The problem was that mysteriously "enhanced dictation" - which lets you dictate even when not connected to the Internet via downloaded dictionaries, and also lets you type continuously and show the intermediate results (like Google Voice) - was not working. Yet if I turned off enhanced dictation - which DOES require an Internet connection, like with Siri dictation, was working.
I can imagine scenarios where the non-enhanced dictation may temporarily not work because of network or Apple server problems. What I couldn't understand was why the network-based dictation was working, while the local dictation wasn't.
But I can't replicate it now anyway. Currently both are working.

Is there a method or app to quickly switch between staff networks in the same building?
We have a pretty standard network at my job, we have 5 staff networks, Staff A, Staff B, etc. Obviously some networks work better in different parts of the building, but I find that my macbook air tends to hold onto a weaker network and I have click on the wifi icon in the menu bar, wait for it to look for networks then click on the appropiate network. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a method or an app that makes it a little quicker for me to switch between these network. Maybe something similar to having network locations set. Thanks in advance.
You might almost achieve your goal simply by requiring password on wake from sleep. the password prompt will have an option there to switch users.
If you truly want to make it automatic,
it's possible but a bit tricky.
first download and install [Apple fast user switching applet|http://www.apple.com/applescript/accountswitcher/index.html]. install it on account of user 2 and set it up to switch to user 1 when you run it. call it, say, userswitcher.app and save it for example in user2 documents folder.
next, copy and paste the following into text editor. format it as plain text and save it as userswitcher.sh in Documents folder as well.
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
#!/bin/bash
idl=$"`ioreg -c IOHIDSystem | awk '/HIDIdleTime/ {print int($NF/1000000000); exit}'`"
wt=$3600
if [ $idl -gt $wt ]; then
open /users/$USER/documents/userswitcher.app
fi</pre>
in the above wt is the wait time before switching and it's currently set to 3600 seconds (1 hour). adjust that as needed.
next make the script unix executable by running the following terminal command
chmod 755 ~/Documents/userswitcher.sh
Finally, download and install [Lingon|http://tuppis.com/lingon> and make a launch daemon to run the above script every minute.

Hi All,
I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
thanks for your replies,
equiBarney,
many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
Thanks,
equi
