Is there a way to have OSX ignore the input from the laptop keyboard when an external one is attached?

My cat tends to try to lie across my laptop keyboard, but I use the external bluetooth one would love it if there was a software program that would notice the exernal one and turn off the internal one.

Not officially. You'll have to check Google or the Mac App Store and see if there are any apps that do that.

  • Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the command line?  I want to write a script to set up certain applications in certain workspaces (without having to do it manually each time)...

    Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the comnand line?  I use several workspaces from Spaces, each workspace having a certain number of fixed applications running.  Rather than set all this up each time I log on, I'd like to write a script from the command line (I use gawk) to automate this. Currently I have a gawk script that, given a directory, opens a few xterms whose working directory is the given directory, and opens "preview" applied to a certain file in that directory.  However, at present I have to manually move an xterm through each workspace and run my gawk script in each workspace (applied to each directory that I'm working on).
    There must be a better way...

    Addendum: Can this be done via:   open -a Spaces --args xxx  , where xxx is some set of arguments (or something like this)?

  • Please help! Is There a way to separate a song by itself from the beat?

    Please help! Is There a way to separate a song by itself from the beat? If I have 1 already mixed track. Is it possible to do in GarageBand or or in Logic Express.
    If yes, then how?
    Thx al lot.

    There are a few things you could try like phase inversion or possibly some EQ stuff, but at best you're going to get the instruments a little softer.
    It's virtually impossible in most cases to eliminate specific elements of a full mix.

  • Is there a way to have iTunes show what is in the iTunes music folder?

    I have several folders that I moved from an old iTunes music folder into a newer one on a different HD. I just put the music into the folder, but not into iTunes. So now, I have a huge folder of music that doesn't show up in my iTunes library. I was cleaning off the HD to make room for something else, so I deleted the "old" iTunes folder with all the music in it. The music is in my new iTunes folder, but not in my iTunes program. Sorry this is so convoluted!
    What I want to know is this: Is there a way to have iTunes recognize and check for music in the iTunes folder that is not already in the iTunes program? Exactly what does consolidate library do? Could that solve the issue? I am a little intimidated because it says that it cannot be undone.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Chris,
    You're a GENIUS!! Thank you!! That's exactly what I was looking for. I am in the process of doing it right now. Hopefully, everything goes well. You just made my day!
    Happy 2009,

  • Is there a way to have iPhoto add location information to the original file

    Is there a way to have iPhoto add manually assigned location information to the original file? After adding location information to about 20,000 of my 35,000 picture library, I generated a new library because of problems with faces. That fixed the faces problem but I was quite disappointed to see that the locations were absent. From what I can see, you can only do this by exporting the files (file - edit) and having the option checked to include the location information. Of course, if you select to have the original files exported (as opposed to creating 35,000 new jpegs), you do not have the option to include location information. Even if you did have that option, it would be a silly way to do it. Am I missing something?

    No exporting is the only way - I believe that HoudahGeo - http://www.houdah.com/houdahGeo/ - will add them to the originals in iPhoto - check it out

  • I have had my iphone 5 stolen and last backed up approx. 2 months ago. I don't think I've ever gone through and set up PhotoStream however it has always appeared on my phone. Is there any way of getting back messages/photos/etc from the past 2 months?

    I have had my iphone 5 stolen/have lost my iphone 5. I haven't backed it up for a while (2 months?!) and I am not sure that I actually set up  Photostream however it's always been on there from what I can tell (icon is there). Is there anyway of getting back contacts/messages/photos/anything from the phone onto my new replacement phone if it hadn't been backed up recently? I've got everything up until the last backup - contacts and messages aren't such an issue for me but the photos mean a lot!!!

    If you are logged in to icloud with your same Apple ID. Go to setting on your phone>Photos & Camera and turn ON my Photo Stream.

  • Is there a way to format a Jukebox Zen Xtra from the device itself?

    Forgot to subscribe to the post

    It's been a while since I used my Xtra but I seem to recall there's an option to format the player from the rescue screen - hold down the play button and press the reset button in with a paperclip and you should see a screen with an option to completely format the player. I may be dreaming it, but it's worth a try!
    That said, if you can find someone with a PC running Windows XP and Windows Media Player 10 (alternatively, install Windows XP in VirtualBox and upgrade to Windows Media Player 10) you can install the latest "PlaysForSure" Xtra firmware from the download page. Once installed this turns the Xtra into a standard MTP device, allowing you to use it on any machine that supports MTP without having to install any drivers (this includes Windows with Media Player 10 or later installed, so Vista and later are automatically supported). However, you can only install the firmware from a machine running Windows Media Player 10 - if you try with Windows Media Player 11 or later installed the firmware updater will fail to detect the player.
    I updated my Zen Xtra to the PlaysForSure firmware when it was first released and never had any issues with my player after that, in XP, Vista or 7 (and it made life much easier as I no longer had to rely on Creative's drivers, which were a little problematic).

  • Is there a way to have firefox save web pages from a batch list of urls

    Is there a plugin for firefox to load urls from a list and save the pages including images to file

    I'm not aware of such an add-on, but it might exist. There also might be a Greasemonkey userscript that will load the pages and fire the save.
    This thread discusses way to save pages once you have them loaded: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/923234 How to save a website using firefox. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • Is there a way to have notifications for messages/whatsapp in the lock screen without showing the identity of the sender?

    Is there a way to show banners (in the lock screen) to notify of a new message withough showing the name of the sender, as for business purposes this can sometimes be confidential? Ie. I want it to just say for example 'whatsapp message', rather than 'whatsapp message from XX'.

    Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
    Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
    E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
    =T20+1
    but also in
    =SUM(T)
    =SUM(20:20)
    =SUM(S19:U22)
    =OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
    =INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
    In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

  • Is there a way to have an Ipod shuffle pause at the end of a playlist?

    I have one playlist with one file in it and I want the ipod shuffle (4th gen.) to play that one file and then end. The ipod just keeps repeating the one file when I put it on either of the two switch settings. Anyone know how to get it to pause or shut off at the end of the song?

    It's a simple player.  That's the way it works.
    If you can explain why (the situation when) you need your shuffle to play just one audio file, and then stop, maybe I (or someone else) can come up with a workaround to achieve what you need.

    Upload speeds are a major issue as they are generally much
    much slower
    than download speeds.
    I don't know of any other way to do it faster to be honest.
    Jpg, as already mentioned, is the most time effective
    solutuion when
    transfering huge image files via the net. If you know the
    final output
    size the image is going to be used at you can cut down on
    excess
    megabytes by making it that size before upload BUT you don't
    always know
    at what output size its going to be used.

  • Is there a way to have new windows/links open behind the current open window, running Mavericks?

    I would like to have new windows that open from links, or when I "right-click, open new window", to open behind the window I am reading from, working from, browsing, etc. I often am doing research, and opening multiple supplemental links, but do not like having to click back to the page I am working from every time.
    A separate choice when I right click, to "open in new window behind current window" would be great!

    There is no add on that I know of that can do this, but there has been an implementation found for javascript via this link:
    *[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17570412/prevent-document-losing-a-focus-when-new-tab-is-opened Stackoverflow: prevent document from losing a focus when a new tab is opened]
    * There is also an about:config entry: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction] that is explained wht to do when clicking on a link in a webpage that requires a new window open, but it does not restrict the focus of the tab
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/?src=search Tab Mix Plus has similar features check this one out too. ]
