Is there a "new style" track point ball ?

I have been a Thinkpad / Track Point user since it was IBM and am now on maybe my 5th or 6th over a long period of time.
Problem is, with the T430, the Track Point is recessed lower in the keyboard (or the keyboard stands a bit higher). The G-H-B keys are somewhat sculpted and as the track point knob wears, I tend to create a lot of bbbbbbbbbb in places I don't want to.
So, is there perhaps a newer Track Point that stands a bit higher ?
And no, I am certified too heavy handed to use the key pad ....

There are several different trackpoint caps (convex, concave, "velcro", etc). They are all roughly the same height but you could try different ones and see if any work better for you.

Is there a way to use Premiere Pro CC's new mask tracking with a red circle around someone?

I know how to do the face blurring, but just wondering if there is a way to put a red circle around someone or something and track it using the new mask tracking on Premiere Pro CC?
Many thanks in advance!

Yes this is the fix. I was getting frustrated over this issue. I use Dreamweaver across two minitors and the palette locations were resetting back to the main monitior where the app was. This unchecking and a quick log out and back in fixes the issue. Thank you!

I accidentally threw away the box with my serial number before registering the product. I am new to adobe so I didn't realize I would need it. Is there a way to track down my number?

...says to find the icon of the pad and pencil:
in the View > Toolbars > Formatting menu. But it's not there. IN addition, the options in the formatting toolbar only become clickable if the cursor is in the text of some topic. I think the directions must be pointing me to the wrong place.
Thanks!

Hi there
The help is saying to click View > Toolbars > Formatting (in case the toolbar has been turned off)
Perhaps the image below will better assist in locating the icon.

3D camera track points not displaying correctly

Just bought a new iMac and am re-installing all of my programs including Creative Cloud programs. I am having an issue with After Effects not displaying all the track points when I use the 3D camera tracker. I get maybe 6-10 points displaying but that is it. They are there because I can still create nulls, solids, shadow catchers, etc... but the points themselves will not display. I have used the camera tracker in the past with no problems at all. Any idea why this would be going on? Here are my iMac specs...

Try some of your older footage. Some footage produces very few tracking points, other footage produces a lot. Sometimes you need to scale up the size of the track points to see more of them. A screen shot would help us diagnose your problems.

Is there a way to track down what type of content was sent in an iMessage?

Is there a way to track down what type of content was sent in an iMessage?
There was some data sent (that I saw from my cell phone provider) at around 7AM one morning while I was in bed. I am concerned as to what this data was and would like to find out if it is possible to trace what the content was? My cell provided indicated that they do not know what type of data it was.

Hello Michael:
I have not yet seen a
good approach to using that information (short of
deleting the account).
better search some yourself Barry <G>
if something runs fine in another account - one can isolate the cause to one of the plist files in the main acct Home/Library/Preferences/ or possibly an add-on in Home/Library/Internet Pug-Ins or ...Input Managers for example.
If there is the same problem in the new acct - you can discount anything with the main acct user library - plists,caches,plugins,input managers, the whole lot.
A useful tool is Console - found in Applications/Utilities/ keep it running while the 'problem' in question crops up & see if any messages pop up in either the system log or console log. Sometimes these will point straight at the problem area, other times no help at all.

Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud set up?

Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud. The phone is already stolen.

I'm sorry for your unfortunate situation. This question is asked time and time again - sadly no, you cannot set up "Find my Mac" after it's lost or stolen. The whole point is that you have to set it up before you lose contact with it.
When you get a new Mac, this is one of the first screens you see - "Do you want to set up iCloud to Find My Mac?". I don't understand why anyone would answer "No".
There are third-party location utilities, but again, you have to set them up when the computer is still in your possession. I use Undercover by Orbicule - allows you to locate the computer and take webcam snapshots and keylogs of the person using it. I also have iCloud set up, so I have two options for location should it get lost or stolen.

Can't create a new real track...

Ok I've encountered another problem, and this one prohibits me from doing basically anything. The last problem in the post I made with the title "Mysterious crackling/buzzing" seems to have worked itself out (yes!!!). First I'll tell you my setup. I have a guitar (with active electronics if that helps at all which i doubt...) plugged into a Line 6 POD XT Live which connects to my compter via USB and I play through GB on tracks with no effects in Channel 2 (Mono) with the monitor usually on. Well, that is, until now. The only way I can hear my guitar or have any signal through GB is if I'm in a previously saved project which already has tracks on it that are available for recording/playing. I can record and play fine through these tracks, but when I try and create a new track (Real) absolutely nothing happens. I go to track/new track/real/create but bsaically all that happens is...well...nothing. If I have selected a track (which works fine if I created it before the problem started) and I try and create a new one, it just does nothing and hs no effect on the elready existing track I'm on. More annoyingly, if I try to make a track on a brand new project, I can only make a software track, but the exact same thign happens when I try to create a Real track. Nothing. Plus, when I'm in a previously created project, and I use a track that I made before the problem both of the boxes that are supposed to show if you want a guitar/vocal/bass all of that stuff on the left, and the box on the right have nothing in them. Completely blank. I belive this may be a similar problem to the one I had in my previous post titled "How do I create new real instrument track?" Here's the link:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=542431&tstart=0
In this problem I was using GarageBand 2 and I was playing through an M-Audio FastTrack USB, but the only difference I believe in the two problems was that I could create a new real track, but there were the words "no track selected" in gray (unable to be clicked) in the left box, whereas its impossible to create a track in the first place with the problem i have now. Also, no one could help me on the last problem, and I had to delete GarageBand (but I had to buy iLife '05 again since we lost the install DVD) after I called the support team from Apple, and talked to one of the head guys who was completely baffled. So that's basically all i can describe with my limited knowledge of technology, oh and I deleted the .plist and.cs files and repaired permissions (again) if that helps.

'tis all good right now, just checked on another post dealing with the smae problem, unfortunatley i was forced to downgrade to GB 2.0 but hey, it's only until i can find the iLife '06 DVD.

Is there a way to track modifications within a specific field on a contact record?

Is there any way to track and report on modifications that have been made to a specific contact field? We have an API synch set up with an external database. It currently writes to Eloqua when a customer initiates a change to their information in the external database. The field actually shows what they've changed on the external record. Since we're sending campaigns that encourage people to make these updates, I'd like to be able to run a report to show how effective our campaigns are, but since I don't have a snapshot of what was in the field before the campaign, I don't know how many people have actually made changes. Basically, I'm looking for a report that will show me "X" number of records were updated as a result of "XY" campaign.

I had hoped Mr Number would keep up to date, but White Pages says they have no plans to further the app. I asked them why they had 2 apps at this point. They said it was because some people preferred the user interface of each one or the other. I know that MN can import from contacts to the block list, WP does not. Neither incorporate G+, only LinkedIn, Twitter, and FB. Most all ID apps have done the same thing for me, especially with a social media account linked. The only time I've had to do a look up is if it is just not found and I know I don't know who it could possibly be, or if it happens more than once. Mobile numbers are weird though: WP has found a couple automatically, MN would find it if I looked it up, but at other times, MN couldn't find a name to go with a mobile number.

I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

Roger that. Thanks for your time.

Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point. some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times.

How can I apply a new style with a snippet and make DW remove artifacts of the old style?

Hello,
I am using Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows XP SP3. My problem seems simple but the resolution remains elusive.
Let's say I am editing pasted-in text from MS Word that DW has auto-formatted. I highlight some text and use a snippet to enclose the text in h2.
Instead of deleting the former style and replacing it with h2, DW applies the h2, but copies the old style, enclosing nothing, and bumps it to the next line. If the old style included a paragraph tag, that throws in extra white space. For nothing at all.
Now, this seems like a minor thing, but it's not so minor when you are trying to quickly prepare a large document with various header styles. Having to make dozens of edits that I think should be completely unnecessary becomes a real burden.
Is there a way to enclose a bit of text in a new style with a snippet without having the old style stick around?
Thanks for any and all replies!
Michael Salmons

Maybe auto-format is not the correct terminology, but DW does interpret MS Word formatting in some way,and in a way I cannot control (well, I can to a limited degree). The term that popped into my head describing this process was automatic formatting.
I don't really want to paste in as text, then I have to touch everything. I mean, I do frequently end up touching everything in a document anyway, but if any decisions can be "automated," I like to at least give it a try.
DW makes mostly good guesses* about Word formatting (*or whatever mechanism translates word formatting to html in DW). Even if it is just a little wrong, it saves me a lot of time. <p><strong> can be converted to <h2> faster than text that only has a CRLF to distinguish it from surrounding text.
I'm not mixing any styles. I control the style absolutely. I would just like to know how to use snippets in a way that truly replaces the Word-suggested tags rather than preserving them for no good reason. Perhaps there is no way to do that, or I so fundamentally misunderstand snippets I am fooling myself.

Line with endpoints following tracked points

I have a video with two points that have been motion tracked.
I want to create a line connecting these two points, with the endpoints of the line moving to match the tracked points as they move.
Is there an easy way to do this?

The usual suspects have an excellent tutorial for that:

MacBreak Studio: Episode 238 - Tracking Points in Motion
The tut is about three points, but I'm sure, it works with two too....

HT5731 Is there a new trick to buying more than one song at a time?

In the past I've bought more than one song at a time, its nit working though. Is there a new trick?

If by "in the cloud" you mean iTunes purchased tracks, deleting them from the device will not impact that. You will be able to redownload them later. To clear all tracks from the Music app: Settings app > General > Usage > Manage Storage [under STORAGE] > Music > All songs [swipe to the left] > Delete

Can we do a fresh install of TES 6.2.1 on a new server, but point to an database currently used by the older version (v5.3.x)

The current database is 2.5 gb, but it is already on SQL Server 2008, and doesn’t need to be upgraded.
In reading the documentation, it looks like the installer can install a fresh copy, which I’m assuming creates the requisite tables in the database. It can also update an existing install, along with updating the database table structure. What we weren’t sure of was if it could do a fresh install on a new server, but point to an database currently used by the older version of tidal. It does say ‘The database modifications are performed when the master is first started after the installation.’ in the upgrade section of 6.2.1 Quickstart Page 6-5. Hopefully that works regardless of if it was an upgrade or a fresh install.

We worked with one of their partners gssinfotech to create a custom runbook for "upgrade in place"
I think you might have to go to SQL2012 with 6.2.1 (there's a ton of benefits like always on that make BCP/DR with Tidal very smooth.) We've been Tidal 6 /SQL2012 for a while now so I forget. we're about 80% done with our 5.3.1 conversion
We restore our 5.3.1 admiral database to a sandbox SQL2012 server, run some cleanup script (if not upgrade in place, don't forget to set queue to zero and disable all jobs)
We installed a tidal Master then run every major rev and point to that database. (6.0,6.1,6.2,6.2 sp1)
The database gets upgraded during the process (we have some trouble with our "older" 531 so we do the same thing each time)
We then can use transporter to transport "legacy" 531 jobs to our pristine Tidal 6.2.1 (non-prod ) environment so we can take advantage of mapping files, etc. to switch things as needed
This gives a lot of flexibility to moving things in when one piece or job set at a time.. we use it to move job frameworks into nonprod Tidal 6 so that developers and other groups can review / asses / rewrite / test / their jobs on tidal 6.

How to disable IBM Thinkpad 600X's tracking point ?!

To whom it may concern:
How are you? This is Daniel. I have an IBM Thinkpad 600X notebook. The tracking point already doesn't work. I want to disable it and use an external mouse. Could you please give me a favor how to solve this problem? According to IBM manual, "Holding F1 and turn on the system, then modify its BIOS !!!". I already try serval times, but this method doesn't work, the screen always show me "ERROR CODE 8611" at first, and then automatically enter into Windows XP system. NEVER SHOW ME ITS BIOS MANUAL !!!. I think perhaps there has an another HOTKEY to wake up the BIOS. I am looking forward to your help. Have a good day.
With best regards,
Daniel

Yes, it can be hard to gain access to the BIOS when the Trackpoint error (8611) occurs. About the best thing I can suggest, short of removing the keyboard, would be to hold down the F1 key, while at the same time applying constant pressure on the Trackpoint in one direction (up, down, left or right) before you turn the laptop on. Continue to hold the F1 key and applying pressure on the Trackpoint while the system boots. You should eventually see the Easy-Setup (BIOS) menu. Then you can release the key and Trackpoint. Note that you may not be able to select the BIOS menu options with the Trackpoint; use the arrow key instead. When the selected option is highlighted, press the Enter key.
To (semi-)permanently disable the Trackpoint you need to access the "Config" menu and then press the CTRL-D key. That will bring up a hexadecimal display, "System Configuration Edit Utility". You then need to change the value in the third row and first column (i.e., offset 200) from the "02" that is already there to "01". Again, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to that location and then type in 01. Once that's done, press the F2 key (Save) and the screen will flash and the cursor will return to the 000 location. Then press the Escape key twice. That will put you back to the main BIOS display. Use the arrow keys and select the Restart option and confirm it.
The Trackpoint should stay disabled until you reset the BIOS. That's what I mean by semi-permanently. If for any reason you need to re-enable the Trackpoint at a later date, change the "01" back to "02" or simply choose the Initialize option in the BIOS Config menu.
edit: I had forgotten that I set up a web site with this information awhile back
