Is there a way to have the boot selector automatically load on startup?

The previous version of OS I owned I could set the bootselector to automatically open on startup (without presing the alt key).
I have searched several times for a solution, but have been unable to find one.  Pressing a key to load the menu is FRUSTRATING as this can lead to up to 5 resets as the system keeps loading the wrong OS.
Just one of those things I can't believe people put up with...
Thanks

Just hold down the 'option' key when you restart. The system won't load any system disk until you choose one.
Otherwise use rEFIt as Daniel says. Works fine on Lion.

  • Is there a way to have the thumbnail pane automatically open when opening a pdf file?

    I'm using Adobe Reader X and I would like to have the thumbnail preview automatically open when opning a pdf file. I know there is a setting to remember view layouts but this is set for the currently open document and not in general. Thanks in advance,
    Regards
    Robert

    A particular file can have this setting, so each time you open it you see the thumbnails. The bad news is:
    - this would have to be changed per file
    - this requires the Acrobat product, not just the free Reader.

  • A way to have the new ipad automatically connect to Wi-Fi or AT&T?

    Is there a way to have the new ipad automatically connect to Wi-Fi or AT&T depending on what is available?  For instance, I have the new ipad connected to the wi-fi in my office.  While driving to work I connect using the AT&T network.  When I walk into my office it does not automatically switch over to wi-fi.  I have to physically go into settings and turn cellular off so that it doesn't use my AT&T data while I'm in a location that can use wi-fi.  I am curious because my phone (not iphone) is connected to my wi-fi also and it automatically connects when I walk into my office so all my calls are free and then when the wi-fi signal is not in range is automatically goes back to the cellular network so I don't ever lose coverage.  Can I set up the ipad to do that?

    That is how your ipad is designed to work.
    Maybe try resetting network settings. If all else fails you can do a back up and restore as new to be certain there is no issue with your software.

  • I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I would also like this issue addressed.
    I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
    I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.

  • Is there a way to have the Filters in Analysis be ignored when rpt is run?

    When i'm creating/testing a new report in the Analysis in OBIEE (11g ver), i'm generating some charts and graphs in a potential report which sift through large amounts of data. But when i'm creating/editting, i just want to filter on something specific so when i return to the analysis, its quick. However, when i launch the report in the dashboard, i dont want that filter being applied -- i want the prompts i've set to do all the filtering. And as i return to the analysis mode, my filter would be there still and applied so i don't have to wait long for it to render. Is there a way to have the Filters in the analysis be ignored when the report is run in the Dashboard or run outside of being in the analysis mode?

    As far as I have experience working with OBIEE. Any filters you create in reports inline are overwritten by filters in the dashboard prompt, if they created with the same columns and presentation tables. To stop this behavior, there is an option to mark your inline report filter as Protected, so it won't be overwritten. You should try though.

  • Is there a way to have the calender results in a global search on an iPhone to appear in reverse cronological order?

    Is there a way to have the calender results in a global search on an iPhone to appear in reverse cronological order?

    I guess not... (at least not on 5.x!!). I would just like the calendar search to return results in chronological order of any sort. With iCloud calendars and OS 5.1.1 it lists all the results (by date order) for one calendar, and then does all the results for the other one, which is a bit tiresome. Strangely it all works fine with Google calendars... But maybe I will just use spotlight search to get round this problem for now.

  • Is there any way to have the clip name show up in the video

    is there a way to have the clip name (kind of like a title) automatically?  I do highlight videos and for the early versions I upload it with clip numbers to make it easier to identify the clips to move them around.  My clip names are the same as those numbers...if I could just show the clip name when I upload the video it would save me a TON of time.  Anyone know of a way to do that? Thank you!

    Is there a way to have the email notifications include the PDF form?

    Very Disappointing. You fill out a Form and you can't get the Form via E-Mail :-(
    Only the information you filled in in the empty fields.
    I designed a contract formular for customers.
    The customer fills out the PDF in the web form.
    Via E-Mail notification i get the infos the client entered in the form.
    But not the PDF itself.
    So i have to enter the web frontend search the data and download the filled in form from there.
    After downloading the form i have to e-mail the form to the customer and the mailing list by hand ...
    I would think that it is an obvious feature that you can e-mail copy of what is entered (together with the text of the formular!) as an pdf attachement and not only the entered fields ...
    Maybe someon can check this feature request. (Attach entered form as PDF to the notification E-Mail).
    It would also be great if you would have the possibility to enter an E-Mail Adress for CC insinde the formular :-)

  • Qosmio X300-14N - Is there a way to have the latest display driver?

    Hello,
    Since the begging this computer has been very sensitive with video drivers, the use of SLI technology implies the use of the last Nvidia driver but our computer has never been officially added to Nvidia laptop releases. More generally, with some video games, I have big performances issues (for example Starcraft II), very high temperatures and sometimes artefacts.
    Is there a way to have the latest officials drivers (without having to modify by hand .INF file) and what about temperatures issue ?
    Thanks.

    Arzul-there is a way to use the latest Nvidia verde notebook driver without you having to modify the inf. yourself.
    I posted the full method in the gaming forum under 'Toshiba display drivers and what they dont want you to know'-just follow that but use the latest Nvidia notebook driver and matching modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go instead of the driver i mentioned as i posted that sometime ago.
    I have an x300-13w with the hybrid sli set up and i'm using the 258.96 driver with the pre-modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go with no issues-i have the nvidia SLI profile running for Starcraft 2 and its runs great!
    However i did purchase a Zelmann laptop cooler to help during the summer and even though my GPU temp gets to 80-90c this is no hotter than when i was using Toshibas outdated driver-i do also regularly use compressed air can on the vents.All this has helped me to have good stable gaming on all the latest games.
    I do share your frustration at the fact that our laptop is not included officially in nvidia drivers even though it has a Nvidia chipset not an Intel one-but its all to do with cold,hard business-Toshiba do not want to pay Nvidia to have our 'old' laptop supported in driver releases.
    One thing that you should do if you update your display driver-also update to the latest BIOS from Toshiba-this corrected a bug which had prevented screen brightness control from working with gpus in SLI with recent drivers.
    You will lose the laptops ability to auto switch to the motherboard gpu when on battery as well as this is a function only built into Toshiba display drivers-but you can do this manually yourself in needs be.
    One disappointing thing i noticed with the release notes for the latest Nvidia driver-it states that 258.96 will be the LAST one to support hybrid SLI-i dont know if this means we wont be able to use later drivers even with modded inf.
    Anyhow.. good luck and happy gaming!

  • Is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?

    Hi,
    with reference to the below link i have some queries
    Re: is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?
    i din understand the below point mentioned in the thread
    You see this option is changes sales order(VA02), item pricing, update tab at the bottom.
    can u pls explain ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    First of all it is not at all possible that you have added something to user exit for sales order and that is affecting billing.
    While billing try
    USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP
    instead of USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK.
    Also, you need to sit with the SD functional person to check and decide upon what config is to be adopted in copy controls for pricing type. In case you wish to do everything through the user exit then std controls need to be set in a way that whatever is in sales order should come up in billing, inclusive of manual conditions unchanged.
    In case of short dump issues, the code is not written at the right place. Before your code write
    break-point
    which will give you an idea of what is happening at runtime while creating billing document in debugging mode.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Amit
