Jumping between apps without cmd shift

In Tiger, I could work across various apps and in the finder without cmd shifting between apps as long as they were visible in one or the other monitor.
In Leopard I have to cmd shift or select the gray bar at the top or along the side of an app to use it, not just click on a file or anywhere in the window as per Tiger, very tedious.
I can't find a preferences menu option for this behavior either. Has this behavior changed between versions?

Thanks Barney,
Your mention of which apps has narrowed the problem down... its only Motion that I seem to have the problem with, other apps behave normally but Motion won't 'let go' til I have selected the top or side bar of another app. Many thanks, I think I need to reinstall Motion anyway.

Swtiching between apps without having to go to home screen

Does anyone know if there is a way to switch between apps on the iPhone without having to go back to the home page? For example, is there a way to jump from Safari to Calendar?
Thanks

Just hold down the Menu button. Oh wait, that's for the Blackberry and I think the Android as well.
iPhones can't run applications in the background. What did you think you got when you got an iPhone?
Android, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile devices can run applications in the background though.

How can I switch between apps without going to home screen?

Is there anyway to switch between apps with one tap? (ie. without going to home screen first). Kind of like a command-tab feature.
Steve

Well, you can have one app that you can get to with a double push of the home button (set in settings which you want), but I think it's only your contacts list, or your ipod app. Still useful though.

How to move pages between documents WITHOUT elements shifting

Hi everyone! My team members and I are so frustrated over what I think should be a really simple issue: copying/moving/dragging pages between documents and NOTHING CHANGING.
Whenever we move pages between documents (which we have to do on a monthly basis - moving content into client branded files), at least ONE thing will shift and it usually has to do with overset text and/or text wrap. We have googled our brains out. We've tried everything on this list How-To: 10 Techniques for Copying Pages Between InDesign Documents | CreativePro.com and in the various Lynda tutorials we've looked at. We have combined our powers and still can not solve this problem so now I come to you, hoping that you can please please please help us figure out this issue before one of us throws a computer out the window.
We have this one document. And this is what one of the problem pages looks like. Everything is on one layer. (look at the section marked 5)
Then I move the pages (copy/paste the content; drag and drop the pages; etc.) into the destination document so we can apply branding.
AND THIS HAPPENS.
WHY does this text suddenly become overset?
The preferences of both documents are IDENTICAL. In fact, Document B was originally created from Document A.
AND FUN FYI: I took Document A and Saved As a new name. Opened it the new name. And tried moving the pages into the newly named document -- and the SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED.
I am going to bash my head into a wall. Can someone please shed some light on this? Have you seen this before? How do we fix it??

Doesn't saving as IDML lose some of the properties if you use any shadow or other effects?
That's not something that I have ever heard, but since I haven't heard everything, I suppose it's possible. What you may be thinking of is that some people use idml to migrate a file to a lower version, and if that lower version lacks a feature of the version that created the file, you will either lose or modify the way that that feature worked in the original. I don't think that even in that scenario that a feature that was present in both versions would go away just because it took a trip through idml to get to an earlier version. And if idml botched shadow or effects, nobody would use it, and I don't think Adobe would have it.

If we had just done a final Save As on the Document A before giving it to the team member who's going to be copying the content into Document B, does that not count as doing a Save As? You mean the minute it's freshly opened try doing another Save As? (P.S. Edit: Just tried this. Didn't change what happened. )
The thing that Save-As does is remove little bits of data associated with undos that a normal Save retains. Sometimes this data can lead to problems, so any time you do it, it will help, but if you do it at stage 37 and you hand off at stage 38, you will have cleared out most all of anything that may have built up over time. I don't want to give the impression that it is required, but it certainly doesn't hurt, and is probably a good idea to Save-As periodically.

My iphone3gs shuts off when i jump between apps or run certain apps... even with 90 percent it will shut down and shows vertical lines through the black screen... any ideas what this could be?

My iphone 3gs shuts off when flipping to different apps or running certain apps. If it crashes badly I need to plug power to the device to bring it up. This happens whether i have even 90 percent battery life. Any idea as to what this may be?

Sounds like a major hardware problem.
If no change after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there is a hardware problem.

Is there an easy way to switch back and forth between apps on an iPhone 4?

Is there an easier way to flip back and forth between apps without going through the Home button?

By "going through the Home button" do you mean double tapping the Home button to bring up the recently used apps tray?

Can I jump between two presentations without exiting presentation mode?

is it possible to quickly jump between two separate presentations without having to go out of presentation / play mode ??

OUCH! Random access in Keynote is difficult. It is essentially a linear presentation format. However, IF you want to do this only once, there might be a workaround:
Create a slide in presentation A that has a black rectangle that covers the entire slide; it could be any slide number, but most likely should be the last slide in the presentation to make it easier to find in a hurry. Make this your Hyperlink to presentation B. (see previous response)
Then, while showing presentation A, when you want to go to B, press the = (equal) key to display the slide selector on the preview display monitor; select the Hyperlink slide and go to it; click on the slide and that will trigger the hyperlink to B. By the way, it will look better if the first slide in presentation B also is all black to mask the transition.
The problem, however, will be returning to A where you left-off. There is another workaround for this. First create another black slide and make this #1 in presentation A. Then create a hyperlink at the end of B that will take you back to A, slide 1. Again, use the slide selector to take you back to the slide where you left-off previously. (When you first leave presentation A, be sure you know which slide number you left, so that you can return there (or the next slide) when you come back.)
Yes, it is cumbersome. Yes, it will not be seamless: there will be some pauses while you are selecting the proper slides and making the transitions. Yes, it should be easier. And, yes, it will be even more difficult to do this more than once (if you can do it at all) in a presentation.
Good luck.

I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone. How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them. You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up under one account.

You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

Right way to jump between pages?

I am in trouble to find the correct way to jump between pages,I have a page alluser.jsp,
in which all usergroups and users are displayed,corresponding to every user's item,I
place a link to delete this user,as below:
<a href="removeuser.jsp?userName=<%=userName%>">delete</a>
in removeuser.jsp,after I have completed the task of deleting this user from database,I
want the client go back to alluser.jsp,where he can find that user has been removed,
but I have tried three different ways,the first,
response.sendRedirect("alluser.jsp"),but It displays the old page,seemingly not following
the logic of alluser.jsp:to fetch data from NOW_BE database,but just displays from the browser's
cache;
the second,
<jsp:forward page="alluser.jsp"/>,but it will forward the parameter userName onto the
alluser.jsp,which doesn't need any parameters,as result,in browser's location bar,I see
..../alluser.jsjp?userName=...,now I cannot refresh the page,because the browser will
prompt me whether to resend the request info to refresh the page;
the third,I simply use
javascript:location="alluser.jsp",but I got the same result as the first approach
now I have been driven crazy,on earth what is the good way to do these?
Please help me,thanks in advance

Instead of having 2 jsp forms, the processing can be done in the same form - "alluser.jsp".
The code below explains as to how this can be implemented.
The ResultSet gets updated without the deleted user.
<%
String message="";
String userid =request.getParameter("USER_ID");
if(userid == null)
userid="";
else
int delusercon=user.del_user_con(userid);
int deluser=user.del_user(userid);
String username=request.getParameter("username");
message=username + " "+ "has been cancelled!";
list=user.get_pendinguser();
}%>
<form>
<%=message%>
<%while(list.next()){%>
<table><tr><td>
<div align="center"><a href="alluser.jsp?USER_ID=<%=list.getString( userid)%>&username=<%list.getString(username)%>">
<B><FONT FACE="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="2">
Deny</FONT></B></a></div>
</td></tr></table>
<%}%>
</form>
Hope this helps!!

I use BT Yahoo! but when I try and navigate to email from the home page it keeps jumping between 'connected and waiting for login' and never loads up.

My internet service provider is BT in the UK. The home page is www.btinternet.com. After I've logged on, the home page displays fine - I can see the summary of my emails in one of the windows on the home page. The problem comes when I click on the mail application. The page then tries to load the email application. However, it never actually loads, it keeps jumping between connected and waiting for login. It never achieves it so I just have to click the 'back' button to get to the home page. I use chrome and ie but neither has this problem.

I retraced my steps to how i got the Google app:
App Store icon on Home Screen > Search, at bottom > entered Google
The first Google App on the screen appears:
Google logo small g in blue square: Google Search; Open (because it is already installed). Below that is a picture of the iPod with the usual Google Search screen. I have never inserted a link into a discussion group so i hope you can open this.
http://https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-search/id284815942?mt=8
Does this bring us any closer?

Itunes deleting apps without request and without asking confirmation

as soon I install itunes, I have a huge slow down of all XP. Installation takes a long time, it freezes XP very often. Once it s installed, it takes a long time to start (often more than 1 minute), often freezes XP. quicktime steals the default access for mp4 files, each time I try to use explorer on a folder with MP4 files, xp freezes for minutes, it never shows previews, takes a long time to start when it effectivly starts, reads a lot less than open readers like vlc or mpc. when I try to set another reader as default reader for MP4, quicktime keeps the hand on it, cannot get rid of freezes withoout deleting quicktime, witch make itunes unavailable
LAST BONUS: after having reinstalled itunes to sync my contacts, it tried to sync the apps without beung asked (maybe because i dowloaded 2 apps on my computer) and STARTED TO DELETE ALL OTHER APPS WITHOUT ASKING CONFIRMATION DELETTING ALL MY DATAS
TOO MUCH FOR ME
BYE ITUNES

No, they actually thought that people would use autosync and have one master library. They didn't think that people had 3 or 4 computers that they would spread their music/videos over. Why not combine all your files on one computer?
As far as music/videos from your Aunt's computer, those aren't yours and the other reason for Apple doing what you want is they don't want people stealing music. Please don't steal music.
One more thing, on your master computer that the iPod is linked to, set it to manually manage your music and you can use it between different computers. You will have to eject it manually every time you are through syncing/charging and want to remove it.

Can't drag folders or files between apps using mission control

I've been using Lion without any incident so far, but now that I've downloaded the lastest update (10.7.2) I can't drag a file or folder using mouse click (or my wacom tablet) between apps or folders - gestures simply will not work.
Once I click on a file, the multi-touchpad stop responding - if this is for real, Mac just lost it's allure... the nimble feature of exposé and/or mission control was this sole ability to navigate through apps and draggin files.
What's the status, anyone got this issue already?

I've been encountering the exact same problem! that was my favourite multi-touch gesture of all, which improved the productivity greatly. The only workaround for me is to assign hot-corners to mission control and drag files i want to the corners, but I really hope there's an explanation for this because i would really like that feature to be back

Cmd+shift+4 screenshot files do get created on Leopard??

Hi, I have a fresh install of Leopard that has since been "software updated" to 10.5.1.
When I cmdshift4 to create a screen shot, I get the screen area selector, and I hear the little camera shutter noise, but no files are created. In Tiger I used to get screenshot files created on my desktop "Picture 1", "Picture 2", and so on. But now I get nothing.
Using spotlight to search, the file don't appear to be anywhere on my system. I've reverted to using Grab to take screenshots which isn't nearly as quick and easy as the cmd-shift-4 key combination. (By the way, I'm logged in as a user who does not have admin capabilities, if that makes a difference.)
Is this functionality broken in Leopard? Any help is greatly appreciated,
slegge

Typed 'screencapture test', heard the camera noise, and saw the following output (below). It appeared to create a file called '.test-k1Xg' in my home folder.
