Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files?

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files? I know I can use Option+Comman+i to bring up the Inspector window but it doesn't have a Comments field. For example, in iTunes you can select multiple files and change metadata for any field simultaneously and easily yet when it comes to the Comments field in the Finder, this seems to be missing.
In our production environment, Comments field is important because we place notes about what drive the file originated then when it gets transferred to LTO-6 tape via LTFS, we can quickly trace it in the event we needed to recreate the hard drive. Because tape archiving is linear, we can't store all of the files on the same tape.
We've tried using Apple's Automator but it too seems to not have a way to batch change text in the Comments field. Any help is appreciated.

Is there a way to Auto-Fill the Album Artist field for an entire library?

The same way that iTunes can "Get Album Artwork" or "Get Track Names" is there a way to "Get Album Artist"? iTunes automatically added some, but my 2 year old daughter was playing on my computer, and the next thing I know, the whole column was erased. Any solutions to autofill this?

Re: too many numbers
In a helper column enter a rounding formula and fill down...
=ROUND(A2,2)
Copy the helper column and paste Values over column A.

How to add a field for multiple file upload in WebApps ?

I am creating a WebApp for user to save some information with multiple pitcures. I can only see a single uploader.
How can I add multiple image uploader and How can I create a custom file upload field rather than image upload ?

Hi,
There's no other upload field type for web apps. You'll need to use the "image file type" to apply multiple file upload fields within the web app form in this case.
Kind regards,
-Sidney

Is there a way to create a text (key word) field that is searchable to help retrieve photos more quickly

I would like to create a text field associated and linked to each photo in my iPhoto library so that I can more quickly retrieve photos. I would also like to have a field that describes what was taken for each photo that that information might be printed when printing a photo.

You can do what you want by printing the photos on a contact sheet. Add the keywords to the photos anb the description to the Description field in the Info tray at the right. Select the Contact list as the layout to print, select the no. of columns and, under settings, select Keywords and Description.

Outside of zoom, is there a way to make the text under icons larger for elderly use of iPad?

We gave my mom an ipad mini, but the text under the icons is barely readable for the elderly. The accessibility options increase the size of contacts, email, etc, and the zoom gives an option to increase, but that is not user friendly for the elderly - 3 finger tap on/off??? Really???? For a senior with arthritis?
Does anyone know a way to increase the size of the text of the icons on the ipad?
Thanks for any insights.

Try After Effects, it's perfect for keying stroke and all text characteristics.
Here's an example

Is there a way to automatically add another of the same page while a form is being filled?

Is there a way to automatically add another of the same page while a form is being filled?
I have a two-page form of which the second page is essentially a spreadsheet analog. Often, there is need for for more lines than are available on the page. Is there a way in which to add another or even multiple copies of the second page?
Thanks ahead...

You can do that with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro for Windows. For more information, you can ask over at the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Is there a way to tighten a text bounding box?

Hey all,
I've looked before but never found a definitive answer to this question:
Is there a way to tighten the text bounding box without converting it to outlines?
I work for a screen printer, and want to figure out a way to tighten the bounding box without changing the leading and without converting it to outlines in order to be able to edit said text. We deal with a lot of clients who send us names, that are often misspelled, and after an initial proof need to be corrected. Sometimes we need to center this text to an object.
Illustrator's bounding box, unlike that of Corel (which is our primary program, and won't open AI files) includes the leading below the type, so when you center it, it's not visually centered:
So I guess my real question is is there a way to get the text centered (as seen below) without converting the text to outlines, or messing with the leading, or is there a way to tighten the bounding box?
Thanks in advance!
-K

Combat and Dandreu,
You may use this silly way:
1) Tick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds;
2) Select the Type and Effect>Path>Outline Object.
That will reduce the Bounding Box to the actual bounds of the letters so you can centre as you wish.
Remember to untick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds before you get a reverse issue.

I dropped my iphone 4s and the screen is black with some blue lines. IS there a way to view my text messages on the computer?

For instance, DigiDNA's DiskAid will let you extract your messages from the phone in human-readable format. Like .pdf.

TS2755 Is there a way to retrieve deleted text messages on the iphone 4S?

I've read messages aren't truly deleted. Is there a way to get back text messages that were accidentally deleted?

If you have a backup of the phone with the messages on there, you can restore to that backup. Understand however, that anything done on the device since that backup will be lost.

Is there a way to expand the text area of the login/lock screen for the warning message?

I put our company's standard warning message in the Security & Privacy system preference ("Show a message when the screen is locked.") and it overflowed the allotted text area for the warning message text on the login screen and lock screens. It seems that the area allows about 250 character messages and I need to provide about 500 characters. Is there any way to expand the text area allotted for this purpose?

To be a little more specific about the challenge I'm facing, I want to increase the allotted text space for the field I've outlined in the attached image. Seems like there ought to be a NIB file that could be edited to accomplish this task:
I would appreciate any advice on which file should be edited to expand the text field.

Is there a way to make keyboard text shortcuts work better?

For example: omw = On my way!
On iOS these work accross the board, but on OS X they only seem to work on certain applications. Such as TextEdit, but have limited or no use in other applications. They work ok in the URL bar in Safari, but try to use them in a text field (such as the one I'm typing in now) and they don't work. It's especially irritating when I try to log into a website, and I can't use my custom shortcut for my email address. I can easily do this on iOS, but not OS X.
Is there any way I can get text shortcuts to behave better on OS X, or is this a hopeless dream...
If you don't know how to access them, it's:
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text (OS X)
General -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts (iOS)
It's great that they sync accross both platforms, but it's pointless if I can't use them on properly on OS X.

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Is There A Way To Auto 'Add All' MSN Buddies to iChat (Jabber)??

Hello all.
I have successfully registered for a Jabber account and "registered" the Jabber /MSN Gateway via PSi.
I remembered a long time ago before Tiger I attempted this with iChat, and all my MSN buddies are automatically added into iChat, just like in MSN.
But now when I go online in iChat with my Jabber account, it is empty.
Is there a way to "automatically add" all my MSN buddies??
Also another Question: It is only possible to activate 1 Jabber account at one time?? I have another one with my Gmail buddy, when I activate my Jabber MSN, the Jabber Gmail becomes uncheck...
Is there a way to activate ALL Jabber accounts??
Thanks and cheers

No, it's not the same Jabber server as the last time... but on the 2nd time when I log on to my Jabber account in PSi and make the MSN Gateway active, all my buddies in MSN started to appear in a list in the main window... that did not happen the 1st time round... so maybe the "push" thing you mentioned maybe happening here... but after that I did not have the time to go log on iChat again...
Thanks and cheers
