Keyboard commands don't seem to work correctly.

I tried using the keyboard commands for zooming and I get the preferences menu when I type command-<
And nothing happens when I type command->
Any ideas?
Is there any way to put the add and delete commands for tables in the floating palette?
I'm trying to replace Word, and Pages is working fairlyl well but I need help with this.
Thanks.

The keyboard command for Zoom In and Zoom Out works as you would expect. To help you understand why they aren't working, try the following.
Without pressing any other key, press the "<"," in your text field? The reason you get the preferences menu when adding the Command key to this is because "Command ," is the keyboard command for the preferences in Pages, and Safari etc.
In order to Zoom In or Out you just add the Shift key modifier, just as you would to type a "<" or ">" character.
I will admit that this isn't intuitive on Apple's part. Since most shortcut keys, or hotkeys, just use letters, the menu will use the "arrow pointing up" symbol to identify when you need to use the Shift modifier. In the case of the ",<" key, it is dual purpose. Apple assumes that you will know to add Shift to get the "<" character.
Hopefully that clears this up for anyone else interested.

HOST command does not seem to work in deployment system

I am developing forms software for a SUSE Linux system, but the HOST command does not seem to operate correctly when used in conjunction with Application Server.
All I am trying to do is launch Adobe Acrobat reader as a background job using the command :-
HOST('/opt/Adobe/Reader8/bin/acroread &');
but nothing seems to happen.
If I enter the command :-
*/opt/Adobe/Reader8/bin/acroread &*
directly from a shell window (using the same login account) the command works correctly.
I have tried other commands e.g. directory listings etc and all seem to have the same problem.
Furthermore when the same form is run from the development environment using "Internet Developer Suite" it operates correctly with no problems.
I am running on a deployment system where all three tiers of oracle are on the same machine (i.e. Database, AS and web front end).
Can anybody suggest any possible causes or anything I can try to help resolve this problem ?

Although I still dont understand why HOST would not work given my configuration (the Application Server and Web Browser operate on the same machine).One little test, put the execution command in a shell script and try to execute the script with the HOST command instead of the command itself.
Using HOST the script will be executed on the AS machine no matter from where it is executed.

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts. I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly i

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts.
I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
It's always the second search that is problematic.
I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem. The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups". Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

If the fonts are installed on the OS they should be there already. If they were only available to CS5 they are probably in the fonts folder in the Adobe section of the Common files (location will be OS dependent), or they may be in ID's own fonts folder.

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

Automator Workflow as Finder Plug In Doesn't Seem to Work Correctly

Has anyone noticed that if you create an Automator Workflow as a Finder Plug-in in Leopard it does not seem to work correctly or at all?
I have a two action Workflow.
1. Get Selected Finder Items
2. Import Files into iPhoto
When run inside Automator, it works fine. If I save as Finder Plug-in and use it in the Finder, it gets to the second action and dies.
I've seen other posts about Finder Plug-in weirdness and was wondering if this was another symptom.

Yes, I found this out today. Any Finder Workflow that I start with "Get Selected Finder Items" does not work. Hope they fix this soon ...that's an important one to work.

Numbers application on Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text I want to convert to a value.

Hi, I would appreciate if someone could assist with the following. On the Numbers application on my Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text which I want to convert to a value. It gives me an error (in my example: 'VALUE requires a string specifying a number, but found "-14308.65" instead.'
The exact same document (if converted from Numbers to excel), displays the converted string/text correctly in MS Excel as a value though.

click on the cell then in the formula bar and use the arrow keys to move the cursor to see if there are any other characters in the cell that could confuse the function. Also make sure the localization for your country is correct in System Prefs.
Maybe copy the EXACT contents of the cell and post here.

The Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down keyboard short cuts don't seem to work anymore. Can we get this back?

Until the latest update (I'm guessing v 34.x), the search bar's icon would show you the currently selected default search engine. I understand that Google is no longer paying to be the default... That I was expecting and isn't my issue....
I used to be able to use Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down to change the default search engine (maybe default isn't the right term... but it changed what was used when I hit <Enter> or <Alt+Enter>). Now, there's no support for this as far as I can tell.
This shortcut page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly) still references it, but it doesn't seem to work.
As a sort of side note: Where typically, middle clicking on anything opens stuff up in a new tab, that behavior does not seem to carry over when clicking one of the non-default options in the search context menu. I've always appreciated that Firefox was very consistent about respecting the middle click as "do this in a new tab" what seems EVERYWHERE.

If you start typing a search term then a drop-down list opens.
You can use the Tab key to select other search engines that show on the bottom bar.
If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.
*about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
You need to close and restart Firefox to make this work properly.

Hi torben123,
This issue has been resolved in Flash CC, please take a look at it and let us know if you still face any issues.
Thanks!
Mohan
Mohanaraj CS, I'm still using Flash Pro CS6 on my MacBook Pro and the shortcuts don't all work correctly because Flash (German version with German language keyboard setting in OSX) seems to use an US keyboard setting only for the shortcuts internally (if I type into fields, I've got my German layout, but if I want to set up a shortcut like cmd + + for zoom in oder cmd + - for zoom out, it shows cmd + ] and cmd + / instead).
And the "fix" to an obvious bug (as you said by yourself) now is TO BUY CC??
Come on, Adobe Staff, is that how you treat your customers?
A little -known- bug but you have to get (and buy) the cloud thing, if you want it fixed... did you get the bug into the code THEREFORE in the last update?
I really love the Adobe software but this is the baddest joke since a looong time, Mohanaraj CS.

Secondary monitor seems not working correctly. Please help.

I am using a secondary monitor in Lightroom and one feature does not seem to be working correctly. Let say, I want to use the Survey mode on my secondary monitor, I select my images on the first monitor, and on the secondary monitor, I press Shift+N, and all the selected images on the first monitor in the Grid view will be displayed side-by-side on my secondary monitor in the Survey mode. But the problem is when I try to click on one selected image, and try to give it a rating, it does not just rate that individual image only, it rates all of the selected images the same rating. I don't understand! That's how it works if you are using one monitor, why it does not work on the secondary monitor. Will appreciate a fix to this problem with many thanks.

Hope someone will help with many thanks.

SetDocument doesn't seem to work correctly

I'm obviously using the setDocument method for my JTextField incorrectly, but how? The DocumentSizeFilter works correctly, allowing only the number of characters I specify, but the DigitDocument.insertString(...) doesn't seem to work at all (it should allow for only digits to be entered into the JTextField).
 AbstractDocument doc;
 pafTextField = new JTextField();
 pafTextField.setDocument(new DigitDocument());
 pafTextField.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(30, height));
 doc = (AbstractDocument)pafTextField.getDocument();
 doc.setDocumentFilter(new DocumentSizeFilter(2));The DigitDocument class:
public class DigitDocument extends PlainDocument{
 public DigitDocument(){
 super();
 public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException, NumberFormatException{
 try{
 System.out.println("String str = " + str);
 int i = Integer.parseInt(str);
 super.insertString(offs, str, a);
 catch(NumberFormatException e){
 // do nothing because a user input was not a digit
 Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
}the DocumentSizeFilter code:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-1dot4/DocumentSizeFilter.java

didn't try the abstract doc, but why not combine the two
something like this
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
public Testing()
 setLocation(400,300);
 setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 JTextField tf = new JTextField(new DigitDocument(2),"",10);
 JPanel p = new JPanel();
 p.add(tf);
 getContentPane().add(p);
 pack();
public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
class DigitDocument extends PlainDocument{
int maxChars;
public DigitDocument(int chars){
 super();
 maxChars = chars;
public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException, NumberFormatException{
 try{
 System.out.println("String str = " + str);
 if(this.getLength()+str.length() > maxChars) throw new NumberFormatException();//<----
 int i = Integer.parseInt(str);
 super.insertString(offs, str, a);
 catch(NumberFormatException e){
 // do nothing because a user input was not a digit
 Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
}

Screen saver with "music on" doesn't seem to work correctly for me. why?

I don't understand what is going on with the screen saver when I have it set to work when music is "on."
My photos will play just fine if I manually pick them to play (i.e. a slide show). But when music is playing, and the screen saver begins to activate after the apppropriate time, I either get some "jibberish" writing in the bottom left corner or I get a solid colored white or black screen.
I've double checked that I have my photos selected correctly. And this was working correctly months ago. I just don't understand what could be causing this now.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi, I have a similar problem. When playing music, the screensaver has stopped working. Instead all I get is a white screen. I have checked all the settings and they are ok. The photos show and the albums show will work. But as soon as I switch back to slideshow I get the white screen back. It is even like this in 'Preview'.
Have you solved the problem now. If so, how?
Anyone else affected? I took a new software update to the Apple TV two days ago. Could this be the problem?
all advice welcome
regards
Michael

Unix command 'cd' doesnt seem to work in sqlplus

I have been using the "!cmd" where cmd is the UNIX command but it fails to work with 'cd'. Anyone know why or what I need to do to make it work?
Thank you!

Not really a SQL and PL/SQL question, but ...
The !cmd syntax in UNIX flavours forks a shell, executes the command you specify, then returns you to the shell that you are running your sqlplus session in. The command works, but it does not get carried back to your main shell. You can see the output of the command (e.g. !ls *.sql), but you cannot do anything that changes the environment of your current session.
