Is there a way to save instrument settings?

Dear Folks,
Totally new to garageband, so please forgive the newbie question, but is there a way to do this?
Any time I launch an instrument, it comes up with default settings. I just about never want to use those. 'twould be nice if I could customize my instruments just once, and then call them up as needed.
Thanks,
Ctein

Publish settings are stored in preferences (.agprefs file).
Export presets are stored in .lrtemplate files.
Both are in subfolders of Lightroom "app data" folder.
Consider running Aux Backup for a complete list of all auxiliary Lr files (includes all critical data files except catalog and photos).

Is there a way to save Publish Settings?

I had a machine crash. My data files and LRCAT are stored on a separate drive so after reloading all the software I just pointed to my current LRCat. I found out that the publish settings are not stored in the catalog (seems like a smart place to keep them).
Is there any way to save these settings? Or other settings like import/export user settings and the like?
Thanks

Our workspace settings disappeared last week on several of our workstatations (Mac) - is there a way to save them locally?

I'm not sure what you mean by "the import doesn't work." If you're trying to use File>Import, that's for importing content or FCP XML; it definitely will not work for something like a workspace XML.
If there's a way to import a workspace, like there is for export presets, I'm not aware of it. I can think of two options, however:
manually copy the workspace XMLs to the folder I cited above (or, if your Documents folder redirects elsewhere, then in the Layouts folder at that location)
in Workspace submenu under Window, make sure the option "Import Workspace from Projects" is enabled, and then load a project that uses a workspace that you want to share.

Is there a way to save keyboard backlight and screen brightness settings?

It seems like my settings for the keyboard backlight and screen brightness reset to some sort of default after I don't use my macair for an extended period of time. Is there a way to change these settings so it always stays at what it was last left on?

Are you making the changes through System Preferences? If not, try that and they should hold.

Logviewer settings: is there a way to save?

Hello,
We have a NW04 installation on a server we use for development. We use the logviewer and admin tool locally (and connect with them to the remote server).
As there are many of us developing on the server, we find it very helpful to filter the logs (we have several filters - I have about 5 defined).
The question is:
Is there any way to save the defined filters? (so that every time I start the logviewer I have the previously defined filters available).
Thank you,
Silviu Lipovan Oanca.
p.s. please let me know if I am in the wrong place with this topic. I did not know exactly where to post it.

Silviu,
I have the same question. Did you ever get an answer or figure out how to do this?
Thanks!

I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account (but from my father IPad) to download as a gift,
but didn't realize he can not view if not logged in with my account.
Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account) so he can view?
Or transfer to his account?
Or is any was to cancel the recent purchase if can not transfer as I will not watch these myself?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

Is there a way to make text bigger on text messages or is there a way to save messages on my computer so i can print them on my iPhone 3

is there a way to make text bigger on text messages or is there a way to save messages on my computer so i can print them on my iPhone 3

Zoom will enlarge anything on the screen, simply double tap with three fingers.
To turn Zoom on/off go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom.
Large text may also work for you.
Settings > General > Accessibility > Large text. Select the font size that works best for you.
Printing or accessing text messages via the computer is not support. Google it and you will find options.
You can also copy and past the content into an email to send to yourself. Then that email could be printed out.

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

New STB - Is There a Way to Save Recordings?

Verizon is sending me a new Motorola DVR since they determined my current one has a problem. Is there a way to save my recordings? I saw the option to export series to the cloud. I clicked on it and it said okay. I don't see an import option unless that only shows up when I get the new box. Does this actually do anything? And does it only save the series or will it save my actual recordings too? Buying an esata drive isn't worth it for me.
Also, they are replacing the box because I suddenly can't get Channel 689 (BBC America HD). SD works fine, but can't get HD. Is anyone else having this problem? I heard from "tns" in this forum that his was fine in VHO 5. Verizon said there's no outage of which they are aware.
Thanks.

In general there is no way to move content from one DVR to another. The only thing you can do to 'save' content is to record it to something else like a VCR or DVD. All outputs on the DVR box are active simultaneously, so you can connect a VCR to either the RF output, or composite Video or S-VHS video and the audio outputs and record from those outputs.
The external drive will NOT allow you to move content. It is permanently paired with the DVR it is connected to, so the only thing you can do with the external HDD after you change DVR's is re-format the HDD. This is a sore subject..
Before sending back the original DVR, make sure that the new one solves the problem(s). Verizon uses the 'shot gun' approach to trouble shooting, and will try just about anything and everything on your end before considering the possibility that the problem is on their end. In short changing out the DVR may not fix the problem.

Is there a way to save a form, once filled out, as a different file type in Reader?

I have Acrobat, my coworkers only have Reader. Company won't purchase Acrobat for the other employees.
I built a form for my coworkers to fill out. We need them to be able to send the filled out form to clients, but we don't want the clients to be able to edit the forms.
I understand people with only Reader can't flatten the document, or add a password, or save it as non editable. As I understand it, even with Acrobat I can't assign a password for Reader users to be able to edit or not edit a file (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on that one).
Is there any way to save the PDF form once it's been filled out (in Reader) as a different file type? Even an image? The file we send to clients doesn't have to be a PDF. Just something that most people can open.
I tried inserting the PDF into a word document (unreadably pixelated) and tried taking a snapshot of the entire page (resolution too low). I've tried downloading one of the free PDF writers and it apparently won't work with our network security (or something along those lines). I've tried using the pdf writer for Firefox on the form once it was filled out, and that won't work either because our network firewall seems to be blocking it and that's not something they are willing to take down.
Any advice?

The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
Thanks again.

Is there a way to save the last curor position in Numbers?

Is there a way to save the last curor position in Numbers? We have a custom Budget spreadsheet but every time we open the file, we have to scoll to the bottom of the spreadsheet.
There are several thousand entries, and every time we open it, we have to scroll to the bottom of the screen which is getting fairly annoying.
Every time we open it, regardless of what sheet or cell we are in when it is saved previously, it opens at the top....
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

reverse the order of you entries and add rows at the top of the table. That is have newest date entries at the top and oldest at the bottom

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all?

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all? I have designed a number of fillable forms and sent them to our clients as Reader extended pdfs to be filled out and sent back. Now, certain clients want to be able to fill in the fields and save the doc as a pdf that can't be tampered with so that they can send it to their own people for signature to be returned to them hand-signed and scanned via email.
Since the forms have been secured, and my cleints are only using the free Acrobat Reader, how can they save the filled in form as a static pdf to send on for signature? They do not want to have to print, scan and email. Is there an app, plug-in, simple solution to this?
Thank you,
Rumor

Is there a way to save a restored session (without opening it) to bookmarks?

I kinda get carried way with opening tabs, like I'll have 50-200 open at any time. And you can imagine what it's like when Firefox crashes and you attempt to restore a crashed session - all the tabs reopen at the same time.
Is there any way to save a crashed session's tabs/windows to bookmarks directly from the restore session list? This would be so useful... sometimes I just want to go to a couple places and then close Firefox, worrying about the crashed session later, and without having to open every single tab in it at once.

It would be very practical if we could choose to save the crashed session as bookmarks into a date-stamped bookmark folder instead of restoring, and even an option to "copy to clipboard" just like "CopyAllurls" does (firefox add-on) - with title and urls, grouped by domain, for example. When a 200+ tabs session crashes, what we need is mostly to not loose track of what we worked with, but not strictly loading them all in one go at startup. Furthermore, whenever we really do load them all, then it would be smarter if Firefox loaded just a certain (configurable figure?) number of tabs, then waits for them to load, and fill in with the next tabs as the currently loading tabs finish. It should not attempt to load all 200+ simultaneously, as that creates other problems. Will look for any existing feature requests about this and chime in there. If anyone has a direct link to relevant feature requests, please post here. Thanks.

Is there a way to save Pages documents so they can be opened with MS Word?

Hi,
I have been a PC user my whole life, but just recently purchased a Mac. I bought an iMac and absolutely love it! I'm still trying to figure everything out though. I just purchased iWork 09, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I'm using the trial version right now. I'm currently unemployed so I spend a lot of my time looking for jobs on the internet, and sending out resumes. Every place that accepts online resumes wants them to be in MS Word format. After I bought iWork 09 I was wondering if I had made a mistake and should have bought MS Office for Mac instead? Is there a way to save it as a Word document or format it as something that Word accepts? Also, can you do the same for Numbers-Excel, and Keynote-Powerpoint? Any information you can give me would be a big help.
Thanks

Hi Tom
In iWork '09 you may use
File > Save as > Save a copy as > Word document
