Is there a company which will coat my MacBookPro top case black ?

I type with two fingers and must look often at the keyboard.   My three year old Black MacBook is easy on the eyes.  Because it's all black, no problem looking at the keyboard.
The MacBookPro has the shiny metal on the top case and around the keys.   Because of retinal fatigue when looking at the KB, one gets afterimages and it's uncomfortable to look at contrasting items.  I'm still using only a three year old black Mac Book for this reason.   It's just wrong to have shiny bright metal reflecting in one's face.
Is there a company which will make the metallic top of the MBP be black ?   If not, muliple black electrical tapestrips would be cheap short-term solution.
Any suggestions ?     Because Apple is not contemplating a Black MacBookPro.

I've already answered your question how to get your Mac case painted on another thread you had.
You can't use the forums for petitioning and risking getitng deleted or even banned.
If you want to start a pettition, set up a site and tell people about it, if it gets enough attention and it's a problem  Apple will likely take a look.
Also use this
https://www.apple.com/feedback/
I know how it feels to need something, but you can't expect Apple to create one computer for you or even a thousand people.
It has to be like many tens of thousands of people and then the supplies have to exist etc for Apple to produce something like what you want. Then they also have to thier plans into consideration.
There is considerable choice on the Windows side, Windows 7 isnt' all that bad and it can be modified "skinned" to even look like OS X.
So set up a website and pass your link around, if I see anyone who desires a black MacBook Pro 13" with anti-glare screen I will give them your link and you all can join forces.
But to whine here is only going to get you booted.
Good Luck

  • Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?

    Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only (not minutes, no extra charge) that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?  Just for random local calling.

    Yup.
    Here is a way you could solve this by adding an extra column and a small lookup table:
    The lookup table is here for the copying:
    0
    1
    k
    kilo

    E
    exa
    7
    Z
    zetta
    8
    Y
    yotta
    In table 8 (the one on the left in the image) column A is where the values are. 
    B1=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    select cell B1, copy,
    now select all the cells in column B, paste

  • How to save my bookmarks in a protected folder(google has an add on for favorits which will never be deleted) in case of harddisk format or computer crashdown?

    how to save my bookmarks in a protected folder(google has an add on for favorits which will never be deleted) in case of harddisk format or computer crashdown.

    The built-in Firefox Sync service allows you to store your settings, including bookmarks, on a Mozilla server. This isn't accessible as a file like Google Drive; it can only be used by connecting another copy of Firefox to your Sync account. You can read more about this here: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] (I haven't tried it myself since it changed recently.)
    The cross-browser Xmarks service is more focused: it just does bookmarks. http://www.xmarks.com/ (I've never tried this one either)
    If you prefer working with files and you have a Dropbox or similar account, you could in theory back up your Firefox profile folder, or more particularly, the bookmarkbackups subfolder. I haven't tried that myself. To find the folder:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
    A window should launch showing your currently active settings files. The bookmarkbackups folder should contain dated .json files which can be used to restore your bookmarks to another copy of Firefox.
    Alternately, someone might have created an add-on for saving Firefox bookmarks to the cloud another way, but I haven't heard of one.

  • HT2509 Despite what this article states, Apple support told me not to try to remove any fonts as it could cause other possibly serious problems.  Is there a program which can be safely installed which will keep at the top of the font list those fonts whic

    An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book.  I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts.  Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful.  I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster.  I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere.  The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font.  Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.

    I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works!  Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear.  Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use.  You can click onto that folder to change its name.  Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted.  This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.

  • Is there any FM which will fetch all functional reportees of a Manager ?

    Hello friends,
    Can anyone please resolve my query mentioned below ? This is related to HR-ABAP.
    Query:- Is there any existing Function Module to get all the functional reportees of a Manager ?
    [Part of requirement:- On report selection-screen, Manager's GIN number will be provided and the report will extract the data for all
    the functional reportees of the manager. My query is, Is there any existing FM for this requirement which will fetch all the functional reportees of a Manager ?]
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ranjan Sahoo

    Hi Mohan,
    this is correct since the values are stored in different tables (fact, dimension etc) due to star sheme modelling. As far as I know there is no standard function module for this issue.
    However ABAP report RSDD_SHOW_ICUBE might help. This is the report for transaction listcube, all relevant data is build up, there you should find all necessary steps and standard reports/modules to fetch the required characteristic value. Although I do not know the exact requirement you will probably have to work with SID values.
    Perhaps this will help resolving your issue.
    Best Regards,
    Marcel

  • Is there a LayoutManager which will auto expand things on resize?

    Say I want some JLabel aligned to the far left edge and then a button aligned to the far right edge. As the user resizes the frame these components will move to stay same distance from the edges no matter how big or small you resize.
    I tried laying out some components with BorderLayout with one component WEST other one EAST and when I expand the window's width the components stay squished in the middle of the frame...

    I tried laying out some components with BorderLayout with one
    component WEST other one EAST and when I expand the window's
    width the components stay squished in the middle of the frame... Then you aren't doing what you described, because this will work and is probably the easiest solution. You must have nested LayoutManagers which is causing a problem.
    You can also you a BoxLayout and use "glue" in between the two components. Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers for more information.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

  • Is there an App which will let me record conversations on an iPhone?

    I know there are laws regarding such things, but I am a technical journalist and do it all the time, using an inline recording jack from Radio Shack. And of course, I always do get permission.

    It's not an option in the app. As I recall, you can press a key on the phone keypad during the call to start recording. Likewise, you can press another key to transfer the call to another phone linked to your Google Voice number.
    From the Google Voice Help pages:
    There are different laws that apply to call recording, so check your current state and Federal laws before using this feature. Some states require both parties to consent to any recorded conversation, while other states require one party to consent to the recording.
    To assist in the compliance of these laws, we provide an automated verbal announcement to parties on a call when call recording has been initiated and when it's been stopped.
    How to record your call:
    In order to record your call, simply press 4. You can do it when you first accept a call, or any time after it's started. To stop the recording, press 4 again or hang up.
    Your recordings are saved online and you can access them just like you do with voicemail.
    Note: at this time you can only record calls you receive on your Google Voice number. You can't record calls you initiate using our Click2Call from our website or the Return Call feature from your voicemail.

  • Is there an easy way to download my music from the iCloud to iTunes library on my new PC desktop so I can sync my iPod?  I have iMatch and cannot figure out how to do it in one fell swoop rather than by downloading each song, which will take forever!

    Hi,
    I have taken over my son's old PC desktop tower as it has more memory than my old PC.  I installed iTunes on it and have accessed via my iMatch account my music library that's in the iCloud.  I need to download it to the iTuned library on the desktop so I can sync my iPod.  I can only see how to do it song-by-song, which will take forever for my almost 5000 songs.  Is there a way to dowload the entire library in one fell swoop, letting it download without me having to do each song individually or monitor it?
    Thanks,
    RSG

  • Are there any new HP Printers which will work on the new Airport Extreme?

    Has anyone had luck connecting an HP printer to the new 802.11N network? We have an older one which will not connect. THANKS!

    My Laserjet 1300 does not work over USB and the Gigabit 802.11 AE base. There seems to be something wrong with Laserjets and USB hookups.
    We're not getting answers from anybody. Could someone from Apple please investigate this and give us an answer?

  • Is there any software in Adobe Creative Cloud which will let me generate barcodes?

    Hi
    Is there any software in Adobe Creative Cloud which will let me generate barcodes?

    - Do I have 40 10-second clips each with 1.9 GB of unwanted video behind it??
    Not to worry. When we Copy and Paste within a project, iMovie HD creates a new clip thumbnail for the Timeline/Clips pane, then simply adds a new pointer to the source video. The source material is not duplicated.
    When you Copy a clip and Paste a clip to a DIFFERENT project then Yes, the clip's entire source video file is duplicated. (When Copying between projects, be sure to Copy and Paste all the clips together so iMovie duplicates the source files just one time.)
    Next time, you might consider setting your iMovie 6 preferences to limit the length of imported clips to 3 minutes — or whatever duration you want. Then each imported clip will have its own source file. When you discard an entire clip its file will be discarded too, shrinking the size of the project.
    If you have no need to preserve the clips as clips you could export the project to a Full Quality movie that you import to a new project. Everything will arrive as a single clip, which may be okay here. Then discard your old project. The project will be smaller, containing just the stuff on the Timeline.
    If the Timeline contains most of the source material — just split into small clips — there may not be a lot of "extra" material in the project. To get an estimate of how large the Timeline really is, open the "Timeline Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder of the project in QuickTime Player. QT Player's Show Movie Info window will show the size of the material it represents.

  • Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    AS it stands now, in order to use the calculator that comes with the Dashboard, you cannot read from a list of numbers in, lets say, word or excel. The dashboard is full screen and nothing can stand along side it. Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    there is one, just search with spotlight "Calculator".
    It works great!
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there any app store applications we can buy or get free which will permit to divide the screen in 2 such a way we can read at the left and take notes at the right ?

    Are they any app store applications we can buy or get free which will permit us to divide the i-Pad screen in 2 , at the left we , for example , read a newspaper , and at the right , we can take notes ? Thanks for tour help .

    I do not think there is an app for that..... Yet.  Part of the difficulty is the 'sandbox' nature of apps.  One app cannot open another app. ( with a few controlled exceptions)
