Keyboard frustrations laptop and desktop
06-16-2011 11:29 AM
I have a pavilion laptop and I just purchased a new hp desktop with keyboard number KU0841. I have searched this site and seen that there are many frustrated users of the new keyboards. Where can we get a manual? I have had so many problems and wasted so much time trying to get numbers or letters or special symbols that I am ready to take BOTH systems back!

Where are you seeing that code?
Also, besides the physical keyboard you need to consider the keyboard layouts that you have enabled via Keyboards and Languages (control.exe intl.cpl,,2)
> wasted so much time trying to get numbers or letters or special symbols
Give some examples. FWIW when there was no obvious keystroke for something I would try using either the OnScreen Keyboard (osk.exe) or CharMap (charmap.exe).
BTW I sympathize with your comment about having difficulty finding an explicit description of your machine's specific keyboard layout. E.g. the HP Support Assistant User Guides is just showing me a generic keyboard description. Another problem doing that is that the HPDocViewer.exe that is used that way can't even Zoom in order to try to decipher what the keyboard image might help with. It is possible via right-click, Properties to find out that the file is a local HTML file and display that with IE which then can Zoom In on the image but the best alternative is to find the same document online as a PDF file which then opens in Acrobat Reader and has an even better Zoom. Still it is only a generic keyboard description and not a very good representation of my keyboard, complicated further in my case because my keyboard is coded for bilingual use, which makes it generally hard to read and makes a clear zoomable version even more desirable.

Should I use a macbook pro as my laptop and desktop, or have a macbook pro and an iMac?
i was wondering if i should use my macbook pro as a laptop and desktop, or if i should go ahead and buy a mac desktop too?
Just look at how many posts are on this forum, let alone the Boot Camp forum, about Windows on a Mac.
Got to any of the virtual machine software forums and take a look. Why do you thing there are 3 different virtual machine program available for the Mac to run Windows, let alone Apple's own Boot Camp system.
If it wasn't needed do you think Apple would have there own system for installing and running Windows on all Mac computers.
I personally don't know of any Mac users, and I know quit a few, that do not have a version of Windows installed on there Mac computers. Either in a boot camp partition or in one of the virtual machine programs.
There is some software that has just Windows versions. If you need that software and you own a Mac you need Windows to run it. -
Moving Music Videos between laptop and desktop
I have purchased 4 music videos from iTunes store. They are on my laptop. I was travelling on business and wanted to try out the new music videos.
Now that I am home and using my Dual G5 desktop, how do I move or share these videos off my laptop top to my desktop? Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this.
I really just started using iTunes when the video part was released, so I maybe overlooking something really easy to fix this issue.
I have turned on iTunes music library sharing on the laptop but only audio music is shown when viewing from my iTunes desktop. No videos are listed. I event made a playlist folder on my laptop called Videos and copied the videos into this list.
The list "Video" shows up when looking from my desktop, but no vidoes are listed in the playlist.
thanksBill,
"Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this."
I have the very same situation as many others do, so I've asked the very same question to an Apple Genius at the Manhattan Village Store in CA, and the answer is no. Why? You can have multiple iPods connected to a single computer, but not multiple computers connected to a single iPod. The reason for that is DRM.
Your best bet is to keep both libraries synched using apps like "You Synchronize" or "Folder Synchroniser", this way you'll have the same library across both Macs, and you can use any one as a Master for your iPod. Works for me!

Transferring photos between a laptop and desktop
I am using Lightroom 3 on a laptop and desktop. I am trying to export photos with adjustments that I have made to my desktop. I have selected the photos as tried to export as a catalog and have checked the boxes for export negative files and include available previews. I saved the files to a portable hard drive and then tried to import the files into lightoom on my desktop. Only the original photos (with no adjustments show up). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Instead of importing the files try importing the catalog. The catalog contains your information about the adjustments. The catalog you exported can be moved to your desktop machine and you can use your master catalog on you desktop to import the record from it.

Hi, I downloaded, activated, registered both on my laptop and desktop Adobe CC InDesign and Illustrator. I am paying a monthly fee. The problem is, when I start my program, it keeps asking me to register my program and it says my free trial is over.
Can you check into this for me.If you want Adobe to check it you'll need to contact them (use CHAT) but you could try checking whether you just need to SIGN IN to your apps.

Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my laptop and desktop using the same license?
Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my Laptop and Desktop using the same License?
Thanks!For Photoshop CC:
You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Copy all sessionstore files (e.g., sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.js) to a safe location (e.g., your Documents folder). Whatever was saved before is in one or both of those files.
This problem of a window sometimes loading the correct number of tabs but the tabs not being navigated to the corresponding pages has been mentioned before, but I do not recall anyone identifying what causes it or how to solve it. If Firefox saved the URLs of those pages, they will be in one or both of those sessionstore files.
These threads have suggestions on how to "mine" the old file to extract the URLs:

49$ / month suite, can I install this on my laptop and Desktop?
Hi Jimmy,
From the Creative Cloud FAQ, found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html#purchasing
"You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information."
So to answer your question, yes you can install on your laptop and your desktop!
Cheers,
Michael
