Is there a way to put the taskbar into the program window like in Windows XP?

Migrating from Windows XP to Mac OS X 10.8.2. The taskbar at the top of the page (not referring to the icons on the right) is unwieldy for my purposes. It'd be better to have it in the individual program (e.g. Word, Excel) window at the top of the page. Is there any way to do this such as 3rd party software?
Thanks.

No. The Mac OS puts the app's menubar at the screen's top. There aren't any taskbars in this operating world. Since you're new to Macs, see these:

Is there a way to put the same event on multiple icloud calendars?

Is there a way to put the same calendar entry on multiple calendars? I have five children and most of them use their iTouch to keep there calendar. My calendar is on icloud and I'd love it if they could see only their events but I need to see all of them. Many of the events affect more than one child.

As follow up to the above question, I am the person putting items on the calendars. I am not just trying to see calendars that they are maintaining.

Is there a way to put the bluetooth icon on the homepage?

I pair my iphone with my car when I'm driving. Is there a way to put the bluetooth icon on the homepage so I don't have to go through settings to turn the bluetooth on and off?
I don't like to leave the bluetooth on all the time because it drains the battery, but it's kinda a pain to have to go through settings everytime I want to use this feature.
On my last cell phone I could assign a "hot key" to automatically turn the bluetooth on and off. I really liked that. This bluetooth system seems a little dated to me.

No not yet, hopfully soon.

Is there a way to put the cursor at a specific location in a RichTextBox?

Is there a way to put the cursor at a specific location in a RichTextBox?
The following code places the cursor at the start of a RichTextBox:
    RichTextBox RTbx
    RTbx.Focus();
    TextPointer tp = RTbx.CaretPosition;
    tp = tp.DocumentStart;
    RTbx.CaretPosition = tp;
Not sure how to place it at a specific location other than start and end.
The RichTextBox has contents. At this point in the code, I do know the specific "word" in the contents, as well as the position (number of chars) where that word is located. I just need to programmatically place the cursor at that location.

Oh sorry, I see I missed something out my original reply.
I have markup:
<Grid>
<RichTextBox Name="rtb">
<FlowDocument>
<Paragraph >This is the first paragraph</Paragraph>
<Paragraph >TSecond paragraph is here</Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>
</RichTextBox>
</Grid>
Code - this is the window contentrendered event
private void Window_ContentRendered(object sender, EventArgs e)
rtb.Focus();
// TextPointer moveTo = rtb.CaretPosition.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
TextPointer moveTo = rtb.CaretPosition.GetPositionAtOffset(9, LogicalDirection.Forward);
if (moveTo != null)
rtb.CaretPosition = moveTo;
I see the cursor between the t and he of the second "the".
Note that there are numerous other options such as the commented out line.
Hope that helps.

When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

No problem.
This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

Is there any way to put the mini calendar on the monthly calendar as in Leopard?

Nope

Is there a way to put the songs from my ipod to my itunes???

I think I did something and it erased some of my songs in the library but they are still on my ipod. what happened to the songs??? and is there a way to put the songs from my ipod onto my itunes?

Perhaps you may
i still
have the music files on your PC -- but not seen in iTunes.
Check using Windows Explorer in 'My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\...' for folders containing your music (or wherever you keep your music folders). If it is there, we can get iTunes to recognize it. Try one or both of these:
--- In iTunes choose: Edit==>Preferences==>Advanced tab. Select 'Change' and browse to the music folder in your PC drive (if it isnt already). Click OK to save that setting.
--- In iTunes choose: File==>Add Folder to Library & browse to the music folder in your PC drive. Click OK.
Also check in your Recycle Bin to see if you accidentally deleted it. If so, Restore it back to its original spot.
Then try running a search using Windows Explorer (or similar) for files with the extensions of: m4a, m4p, MP3,
i OR
with the partial names of the songs you are missing.
Do all the above before you decide that they have been completely erased from your hard drive.
If your music files are truly gone, and you have some or all of your music files on your iPod, these links will give you
i several
methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists , ratings, counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you.

Is there any way to put the values inthe system matrix which is non editabl

is there any way to put the values inthe system matrix which is non editable...
this Q is not that much priority since i had achieved the requirement other way round by having user defined matrix ... but if i get the way for this it will help my add on performance much better...

Hi Raj, I didnt get all the details but here some ideas how you can solve your issue:
Depending in the system form you are working you can always use a DBDataSource in order to manipulate the rows in a matrix. It's much better as using the objects of the matrix itself. In this case you can use:
oMatrix.FlushToDataSource()
oDBDsource.SetValue("U_Quan", pVal.Row, "101")
oMatrix.Clear()
oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
As you can see in SetValue i'm obtaining the Column, then the row number and then setting a NEW value for this cell.
Please consider if you can use DBDataSource instead of UserDataSource.
If the answer is yes then you can use the following:
oMatrix.FlushToDataSource()
'//Get the line you want
matrix.GetLineData(pval.row)
'//Call the Userdatasource assigned to that column
UserDataSource = UserDataSources.Item("ItmCode")
'//Set the new value
m_UserDS.ValueEx = "A02520"
oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
You can also use:
oMatrix.Columns.Item("ItemName").Cells.Item(l_rownum).Specific.String = "A02520"
In case you are not assigning the string in a combobox of course.
Good luck!

I have purchased the last Creative Suite available on disk. It will load on my old Mac Book Pro. I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and just realized there is no place to put a disk. Is there any way to load the programs to my new computer?

Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software.

No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

If I have multiple accounts in my mail on a macbook, is there a way to separate the different accounts like in two separate tabs?

If I have multiple accounts in my mail on a macbook, is there a way to separate the different accounts like in two separate tabs?

I can't think of a way to show them in tabs, but Mail lets you open as many Mail list windows as you like. Set the Mail window to show just the inbox for Account A, then choose File/New Viewer Window and set that window to show just the Account B inbox. Arrange the windows next to each other.
I open multiple viewer windows all the time when dragging messages from inboxes to various folders, it saves a lot of time.

Is there a way to make the NAS200 act like a drive in my computer

Not sure if this has been discussed here yet.
I have a NAS200 connected to my router and I can access through my web browser no problem.
I was wondering if there's a way to make it act like a drive that's in my computer. i.e give it a drive letter and have it show up in the "my computer" area.
I am running win 8 pro desktop hard wired to the router with the nas200 connected. Is there a way to "mount" the nas200 as drive on the computer.
Thanks,
Bob
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, you just need to map the drive on your computer. You need to make sure first that the network drive is detected in the network. You can click on the following link to know how to map the drive:

Is there a way to have the download window not open when downloading attachments?

Every time I download an attachment, the downloads window opens and it slows down the client. Is there a way to download the attachments, without having the download window open all the time?

No it does not slow down anything, your anti virus scanning on the other hand is probably the real reason for the slowdown.
