Make Display Sleep Manually. Any Button/Shortcut Key?

Hi, I am having problem in making the display sleep automatically.The sleep setting does not seem to work very well.
Is there any shortcut keys to make the display sleep manually while the mac is working in the background? I just want the display to sleep not the hard drive.
Cheers.

Unfortunately the internal imac brightness control won´t turn the display into a completely dark screen, but there´s a nice freeware tool called "brightness control" which might help you....it does not turn the screen of, but it comes pretty close to that....

Captivate 7 Button Shortcut Keys Not Working

In captivate 7 I have several button interactions that worked in 5.5, but do not work in 7. I am using shortcut key combinations (i.e. CtrlC and CtrlV) to have the user navigate to the next slide. I have replaced the interactions and they still do not work. Any ideas?

I will provide more information. The files I am working with were created in Captivate 4. We moved up to Captivate 7 and these files had to be processed through Captivate 5.5 so I could open them in Captivate 7. The tasks being trained involve Systems Training where the user enters keystrokes, like the Enter key, and several key combinations, like Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V. In Captivate 4, to simulate these functions, I used the Transparent Button with No Mouse Click and the Shortcut Key or combinations. I had no problems, everything worked fine. When I was cleaning up the new Captivate 7 file, is when I noticed the key combinations (i.e. CtrlC, CtrlV) no longer allowed the project to navigate to the next slide. It does not produce a failure or show the Failure caption. It is like it is accepting the key combination as valid, but not performing the action to navigate to the next slide. The only way I found to get around this issue was to uncheck the Visible in output check box.
I was also recreating some of these files from scratch in Captivate 7 and did notice unchecking the Visible in Output box would cause the button to be ignored and the project would just continue. I did notice the keystroke combination setting in the Shortcut on the button does not work. Even in a clean Captivate 7 file. Further testing showed this is somewhat erratic. For instance if I assign CtrlA or CtrlN as keystroke combinations, the project navigates as expected. If I use CtrlX the same problem occurs as with CtrlC and Ctrl+V. Also, the Failure caption does not display when using a wrong keystroke combination. It only works with single keys, not to include Ctrl or Alt. In Captivate 4, the Failure caption displayed correctly with the keystroke combinations.
I am using Captivate 7 (32 bit) with Windows XP SP3 on a Pentium 4 with 4 Gb of RAM. I know…extremely slow, but this is the best the state would provide. I hope this information has made things a little clearer.

QuickTime makes display sleep, according to screen saver time

QuickTime 7.1, OS 10.4.6, PowerBook G4
My display sleep time is set for never, and my screen saver is set for 5 minutes. When I play a QuickTime movie, if I don't move the pointer once in a while, the display sleeps at 5 minutes. I could see QuickTime movies not informing the computer that something is going on, but in this case the screen saver should activate. Instead, the display simply sleeps.
Any idea what's going on?

Does not matter any more.

HT4614 How can I define shortcut keys to run apps, files and folders, OS X?

Hi
It could make work so fast by using shortcut keys
For example using "option + command + Control+P" to go to "picture" folder.
but cant do it in Mountain Lion
is there any way to do that?
Thank you!
Safa

To define keyboard shortcuts use the keyboard Preferences > Shortcuts panel in the Preferences.
Create an Automatotor service, to open the folder you want,
Install that service in your User Library "Services" folder (for example named "OpenPicturesFolder)
Then bind that service to the keycombination you want.
A simple service to open the "Pictures" folder could look like this:
First, an action "Get Specified Finder Items" to select the "Pictures" folder,
Then "Open Finder Items" to open that folder.
You do not need to create a service, if there are already menu commands that do what yu want. Then simply bind the menu command to the key combination.
Good Luck

Shortcut key for deleting text in Acrobat Pro

In previous versions of Acrobat Pro, I could highlight text and the delete key would strikethrough. Now in XI that doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to program that -- or any other shortcut key?

Ha - found it! It's the little 'T' with a star at the end of the Annotations - once you select that & tick all the boxes, you can use delete to strikethrough text.

Got the "apple firewire ntsc" choice to show up even if grayed out and "missing" under "audio/visual" menus by recreating choices in Easy Setup under "final cut pro" MENU thank GOODNESS because I was reading horror stories on here about this under another thread with someone trashing preferences, reinstalling and the works and still not getting it to show up...on my search now for an analog/digital converter up at b&h...find it odd that the s video connector wouldn't show the crt monitor when I put both displays through the 3870...I switched it back to see if it worked again when only the one dell monitor display was there and there it is again mirroring the screen display on my desktop...just can't be seen as an "external monitor" in fcp...couldn't find anything specific in the shane ross threads to this. I'm sad the program doesn't just see the s video connection though the 3870 though my computer does fine and will query up at b&h in regard to what might be affordable as far as a digital/analog converter. It's also weird in itself that when I put the two dell monitors on the one card my computer no longer could see the s video crt connection...makes no sense. Will report in later as to what I discover up at b&h as I'm sure there's a world of people out there using this sony crt monitor still even into the upgrades with computers and software so I imagine therein lies the solution. Thanks again and I'll report in as to what hardware might be suggested for me.

Can I use Hot Corners to make the display sleep immediately?

I have Hot Corners set up so that the screen-saver kicks in as soon as I move the mouse to the top-right corner. However, I'd really like to be able to make the display sleep immediately, rather than show the screen-saver first... can I do that? There doesn't seem to be a Hot Corners option for "Display sleep".

Hi Garth
That can be set using expose.
Open up preferences /dashboard & expose.
Click on one of the buttons to set your option to start screen saver by choosing the corner you wish to use.

Sorry, misread your message the first time. Can't be done with hot corners.

How to set Shortcut keys for button in Apex

Hi
Could anyone help me on how to set shortcut keys for buttons in Apex.
I need to use say ALT + S to submit the page.
The following thread pertaining to HTML DB refered to use ACCESS key. but that couldnt work in my case.
Re: operation of the app. with the keyboard
Any pointers on achieving this would be helpful.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I’m afraid you must do it using javascript key listener. You can’t use action() on template based buttons because they are actually not HTML buttons but images with hyperlink.
Key listener checks which key has been pressed down and invoke some JS function. For example, write this code in page header:
<script>
document.onkeydown=keyCheck;
function keyCheck(e){
     var KeyId = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
     switch(KeyId){
          case 113:
               doSubmit('SAVE');
               break;
          case 118:
               alert('Hello');
               break;
</script>
This script will submit page with request 'SAVE' if you press F2 or will show alert message if you press F7. Modify it to your issue.

Power button wont make t510 sleep anymore?

Hi guys
I used to be able to press the power button in the middle of my T510, (above the keys and below the screen) and it would put my laptop to sleep and bring it out of sleep too.
For some reason it now doesnt do this anymore. Very occasionally it will work b8t most of the time I have to to make it sleep by pressing Fn+F4 which is a little annoying.
Can anyone suggest how I can make this work again or where you change the settings of these kinds of things]
Thanks
Alex
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello mate,
You can change that with power manager. Open it in advanced mode and under your current power plan, you can see Event. Expand that for the option Power button you have 4 choices : Do nothing, sleep, shut down or hibernate. Choose the one you want.
You can do that under windows as well. Go to Control panel>Hardware and sound>Power options. On the left you can see Choose what the power button do. Go there and change the setting.

My shortcut keys on CS6 are gone. I get a message to reinstall CS6. I would rather not go through the hell of getting the license key for Adobe. Any options?

I get the message that my shortcut keys have gone missing.... And the message says to reinstall Photoshop CS6. I would rather burn my arms off than go through the hell of reinstall with Adobe's horrible licensing process. Please help me avoid this! I tried system restore on my Windows PC to no avail. Any solutions or downloads I might try?
Thanks for any help.
John

Not sure what you mean when you say "Adobe's horrible licensing process". If you have a valid license key code you type it in and you are done. The program, licensing system, checks that key against the online system and if it is valid and not installed on more than 2 computers at the same time you don't have to do anything else.
If the version of CS6 you are using is an Upgrade version then you will need to type in a valid license key from a qualified previous version. Again once that is done and it is checked against the online license system you are done.
As to your problem with the shortcut keys going away I "Think" that is a problem with your computer more than with Photoshop. Some how the file that holds the default and user edited keyboard shortcuts has become corrupted or you have somehow deleted it. If it became corrupted that is a Sure Sign you have a hardware problem. More than likely some type of hard drive problem, the drive might be on it's last legs, it is failing and will need to be replaced.
One thing I suggest you do from this point forward is make regular backups of your complete system. Like doing it every week if not more. That way when, NOT IF, you have similar problem you can restore your system from the most current backup. And if it is a hardware failure, like the drive going bad, you can restore your system to that state once the hardware problem is fixed.
If you do have a hardware problem, like the hard drive is dying, reinstalling PS won't stop it from happening again.

How are you setting the Access key to the buttons, are you using "&" in the label or using the Access Key property??
I have tested in 10g and it works when you set the "Access Key" and not working when using "&" in the label, which I find it logical.
For the workaround, yes you can set the hidden buttons with Height and Width = to 0 ,. X, Y coordinates to 0 as well and Mouse/Keyboard Navigable property to False.

I'm trying to import some Hi8 into FCPX via a Canon GL2. Although the footage shows up in the import window, it says "Camera not controllable". The manual import button does activate, but footage is not actually being imported. Any ideas? Thanks

What Tom said.
Or you may be able to import using a different program - try with Quicktime Player, "New Movie Recording". If the camera appears as an option, it should work.
