Is there a way of addressign text files other than through the place command?
I'm working with a large document that has multiple records - each record has 2 spreads of master pages - tha tis 1 spread and then another - so 4 master pages in all. I'm preparign individual tagged text files for each of these. I find it really onerous to have to click on teh frame and "place" each individual text fiel. Is tehre not a way to invoke/import/place a text file that doesn't involve mousing around and often clicking on teh wrong thing - thereby generatign a new frame and blowing everything to smithreeens?
AS an aside - I've drawn the followign conclusions about workign with frames on master pages: when text is asked to flow form one master spread onto anotehr - it won't work - CS4 crashes or simply doesn't flow the text correclty - I've downloaded an excellent plugin from http://www.rorohiko.com/ called text stitch - that eanble stitchign of text frames and htis seems ot work alhtough it still requires intervention of having to actualy click on teh overflow red + indicator on teh last frame of the spread generated by teh first master pages and tehn clicking on the first frame of the 2nd spread generated by the 2nd master.
Also - what gives with questions aobut tagged text - I've noticed that 4 postings about this have gone unanswered - not jsut mine but others as well?
Thanks for all your help - this forum is great!

I've been wondering that myself, but I've not had any answers for those posters. (I don't think that "Yeah, I used tagged text in Quark or PageMaker in the 90s, but these days anything that I would have wanted to do with tagged text would be easier to do with XML" would be very helpful.)

The latest version of Mavericks does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'! Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window? As Pages templates cannot be ordered in folders, my many templates are effectively unusable now and I need to find another way to order and access them.
Are you aware of that you can still use Pages 09 on Mavericks? You don't have to go thru the grieves of using the crippled Pages 5. Pages 09 should bi in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

My ipad2 freezes when i try to delete a email that has a 78mb pdf file attatched. Is there any other way to delete this file other than the email program?
If it's not MobileMe, use Safari to access the server directly and delet from there. If it is MobileMe, do the same thing but from your computer as the iPad Safari won't connect to MobileMe mail.

Is there a way to create a file other than mp4 with iMovie under Maverick
Since the installation of the last version of iMoviei I noticed that the creation of a sharing file is only in mp4 type. Is there a way to create, for ex a mov file??
Thanks for reply
Daniel GoyensIt doesn't seem like it.
If you share to iTunes you get an .m4v. Maybe you can open this in Quicktime and convert to .mov. -
Is there any way to delete duplicate files en mas within the new itunes program?
I've just installed the new itunes program on my laptop. I used the scan for media option to find music. Problem is almost every entry and there's several hundred of them is duplicated and in some cases triplicated within the itunes media library.
Question ... Is there any way to delete duplicated files en mas withing the itunes library folder?
Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to do it individually as that may take days.
ThanksApple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Is there a way that I can see more than just the next slide in Presentation mode (as an old version of PowerPoint used to do)?
Sorry - should have been more specific. As far as I can see, Keynote will only allow me to see the current slide and the next slide on my laptop when I am presenting a slideshow through a projector. But an old version of PowerPoint allowed me to show the current slide....and (adjustable) many more slides ahead (say 10)....so I could simply jump ahead to a 'future' slide and skip several slides in between. Net result being that I was able to matcgh my slides to group discussions rather than stick to a fixed, predetermined slide show.
As much as it pains me, without this facility - PowerPoint (old verson, not current one) is more useful for me! :-(( -
Are there any ways to get sequence number other than getting it for each re
are there any ways to get sequence number other than getting it for each record
CACHE is the number of values Oracle stores in memory. So the first call to NEXTVAL Oracle grabs x numbers; subsequent calls to NEXTVAL are served from memory until they're all gone and them another bunch is grabbed. The attached sql*plus output demonstrates this behaviour.
Note that normally unused numbers in the cache are returned to the data dictionary but in exceptional circumstances (DB crash) they may be lost.
Cheers, APC

I am trying to get MP3 versions of my non DRM protected songs onto a DVD so I can import them into my cars "Music Register".
There is no easy way to do this that I can see in Itunes . I follow this process..
Highlight the songs I want to copy in Itunes
Select Create MP3 version from main menu
Open up Finder Window showing the Itunes folder with the m4a and MP3 files newly created..
Go Up a directory or 2 to get the Artist 'folder'
copy that folder to my external drive
Delete the MP3 songs from the Itunes folder (I dont want duplicates showing) obviously
Delete the M4a songs from the external drive....
I have about 5000 songs so doing this manually is clearly a complete pain.
I dont think you can force it to create the mp3 files anywhere other than in the current folder in itunes unless someone tells me otherwise
More likely does anyone know of any other software to do this with less effort...
I confess to not being an Itunes fan at all I admit but I like the Match functionality so I keep it otherwise I would cheerfully chuck it in the bin...
Thanks in advance...It appears I have figured it out. You gotta go down to where it says Destination and tell Lightroom to Organize into One Folder.

Is there a way to rename multiple files in finder at the same time?
for example, I have a group of pictures that I want to all start with the word "start" and be listed as "start1, start2, etc" Is this possible to do as a group versus having to individaully renaming every picture?
There are some third-party renamers, or you can use an Automator Workflow.
Start Automator and create a new Workflow.
Drag in a Get Selected Finder Items Action.
Drag in a Rename Finder Items Action. It will ask if you want to copy the items so that you don't alter the originals. Since you want to actually rename the originals, don't add that action.
Set the parameters for the Rename. If you want to be able to reuse that workflow for different things, click the Options button and set it to show the action when the workflow runs. From your example, choose Make Sequential. Start with a new name and number it after the name.
Save it so you can recall it when needed.
Select your files and Run the workflow.
You could also create it as a Service so that you can select files, then ctrl-click to select the workflow from the contextual menu. If you want that, set the Service to receive Files and Fodlers in the Finder.
Skip step 1 (or delete it if you are converting it to a Service), but do the rest above. Save it with a short name so you can easily find it. It will appear in the Services submenu of the contextual menu. -
Is there any way to 'recover' RAM usage (other than restarting)?
Hi everyone,
I just upgraded my White Macbook 4,1 to 4GB of RAM and when I first boot the system, Activity Monitor shows that over 3GB is free.
After several hours of usage (Mail, Safari 4 Beta, iTunes, iCal, iPhoto, Time Machine, Address Book, and yes...Activity Monitor!) it shows just over 2GB free.
Now the part that puzzles me is that even after quitting all these applications, the RAM usage does recover somewhat, but never reaches it's original >3GB of availability.
A reboot certainly does the job. But is there any other way that Leopard can recover this memory? Is this normal? If I simply leave the system idle for some time without any open applications will Leopard eventually reclaim the lost memory?
Thanks!
Message was edited by: Michael271There's no need for any "ram" recovery. It's all handled by the memory manager. You must be coming from the world of XP. See the following:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM. -
Any way to manage text messages other than individually on the phone?
In preparation for switching to a replacement phone, I'd like to go thru my older text messages and dump/delete the ones I no longer need. The only way I have been doing it so far is to go into each thread and manually delete each un-needed message. I have done a few text threads on the phone and it's very time consuming that way. If I could just delete the whole text thread, it would be easy & quicker, but there are some text messages in each thread that I need to hang onto.
Is there any sort of tool or utility that I can sort thru texts when plugged into my PC, and mark which to delete and which to keep?
As I said, it can be done on the phone, but it's very time intensive to go thru each message thread. I have to delete the un-needed messages one at a time.
Thank you in advance.What a great phone to have, mattt181.
Now that you have Verizon Messages installed, you should be able to access Verizon messages from your computer http://vz.to/1ybUH4M.
