Make Illustrator play nice with OS X Spaces, eh?

Hey Mr & Mrs Adobe --
Can you pretty please make your apps play nice with OS X Spaces? It's only been around since October 2007. I'm tired of having documents in two different spaces.  k'thanks.

While I don't believe this discussion belongs here (try Feature Requests, next time), I think Adobe is not completely innocent here. Spaces is a feature of the OS that's been around for two years, and that Adobe has had access to for even longer. Other companies with fewer resources than Adobe, and without developer seeds, were able to support Spaces from day 1. Even programs released before Leopard usually work with it.
Adobe has proven that they do not care about Mac OS conventions or about fully supporting the Macintosh OS. For the amount of money they charge for their programs and upgrades (which are often little more than bug fixes that should be no charge) it is not asking too much for support of basic OS features.

  • Need help Please. Which play nice with macs? Palm Treo's Or Tmobile MDA?

    Hi all, I post on here from time to time, but hardly anyone ever answers my questions. Here's my dilema. I bought a Tmobile MDA over the weekend that runs microsoft windows mobile 5.0. And while playing with it have noticed some things about it that i think are'nt that good. For example, I like the fact that its a windows os, but think that it's flawed. I have done quite a bit of research but don't think that it's active sync software is even compatible with mac osx. so have'nt even tried to mess with it. now i'm still in the 14 day window and am thinking about returning it. but here's the thing....
    I know that tmobile has EDGE, and it's considerably slower than verizon or sprints EVDO. (since i've researched it i know that edge is around the 70-170KBPS range when EVDO has 300-700KBPS) And tonight i was messing with this tmobile MDA and finally got it to work to connect to the net with it using bluetooth and it's "modem" ability to connect it to the web. But it S U C K S! i went to and did a bandwith test and i was only getting like 12.1-27.1kbps download (after running 2 tests) dude, it feels slower than dialup!
    so with that bullet against it, comes the compatible part. I can't sycn this thing with my mac for NOTHING! do any of you out there have a palm treo? (either verizon, sprint, or att.... carrier X?) How does it sync with your mac? is it hard? any extra software i need to get/buy? have any of you used it to connect to the net? and if so, how's the speed? And here's an even bettter question... How long did it take to config it to work using the phone as a modem? Did you use bluetooth? or serial link? was it easy to config? Where did you find the instructions?
    I know these are a lot of questions, but this is a large investment for me. I mean this thing ain't cheap and it does'nt really play nice. I don't mind paying a little extra, for some peace of mind, and knowing that it won't crash often and will work with my mac. Anyone out there got any other suggestions? I would really appreciate it. I would like your opinion on which one is the easiest to use that plays nice with a mac, and has a interface that's almost as nice. Thank you so much for your time. I will be following this post closely and comment you all back for your replys
    Mac Book Pro 1.83 GHZ 512 Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    It really is a toss up cause Ive owned two Treo's and Ive read extensive reviews on Windows mobile devices and it seems to me like they're pretty similar in the way of hardware and software(minus the fact of using different operating systems). So I think the determining factor really ought to be more focused on how much you're willing to pay, and the level of support you get for each device. I recently got rid of my Treo 650 due to an interesting touchscreen problem and got a windows mobile device(should come tomorrow)
    in the way of syncing with a mac:
    The Treo is extremely simple to set up and use with a Mac(keep in mind Im not talking about the 700w/wx)in every aspect. Palm provides OSx compatible software(though its almost impossible to get rid of after installation). However, in my experience, Palm does not really do a good job in the customer service department. While they have a rather extensive support page for each device(some of the info is outdated), that's pretty much all you get unless you don't mind spending hrs scouring various forums. Talking to customer service is a joke. Like I said I had a problem with the touchscreen and the best the rep could give me was "try a hard reset" and "send it in for repair".
    I have yet to experience what windows mobile will be like. At the very least with syncing, theres syncing software made by people who had OSx in mind(ie: Missing Sync or Pocketmac) who will probably be able to help out a lot more in this area and possible also be able to help out with the other issues you mentioned.
    a good place to check out would be howardforums.com, you'll probably get better answers there.

  • Why won't iTunes 'play nice' with Windows 8.1

    After following painstaking, tedious Troubleshooting hoop-jumping**, iTunes (latest version) STILL refuses to "play nice" with Windows 8.1
    Stalls out (Windows Task Manager reports "not responding") and does truly nasty things like blanking computer display and making Windows 8.1 system commands non-responsive (iTunes also has to be Forced closed ['End Task'] using Task Manager)
    My question:
    ANY HOPE that iTunes will EVENTUALLY actually work with Windows 8.1?? (Of course, there's NO '8.1' listed in drop-down menu, inspiring further confidence!)
    Adding INSULT to INJURY - Apple programmers DEMAND/FORCE creation of NSA-grade Password to Login to iTunes!!?!  (8 minimum, mandatory Capital and lower case letters, plus number(s), plus NO repeats, plus NO "common passwords" [whatever THOSE are] etc. etc. etc....ad nauseum)
    ARGGGH!
    ** Update iTunes, start in Safe mode, re-start (iTunes & Windows), check AV status, shut down AV & firewall, scan for viruses, check status of all drivers, all DLL's, any "possibly conflicting" applications [whatever THOSE are], create new User Account, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!
    At the risk of repeating myself ...  ARGGGH!

    Just checking that you've tried "iTunes Safe Mode" as opposed to "Windows Safe Mode"?
    Press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT the instant you click the icon that launches iTunes and keep holding until this message appears.
    Click Continue, then close iTunes and reopen. Some people seem to have had success with this approach...
    Alternatively, have you tried removing all iTunes components and then reinstalling as shown in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?

  • If apple is dropping iDisk are they going to play nice with others?

    If apple is dropping iDisk are they going to play nice with Pages amd Numbers apps and let me access SkyDrive, DropBox, Box and so on?  Or am I stuck with the lame iWork?

    Whether Apple will ever support direct connections to any of the other cloud services is something no one here knows or can say. You can comment to Apple on the matter here, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    For now, there is a workaround for DropBox by using an intervening service and the Copy to WebDAV option. Whether there's a similar option for other services I don't know. Otherwise, the only option is sharing via email or synchronzation via iCloud.

  • Cheap wireless router that plays nice with macs??

    Greetings:
    I have the older cone-shaped airport extreme base station...
    it's working fine & I'm very happy with it.
    My situation is this....
    Periodically I go thru times of network degradation when I pull my hair out trying to ascertain if the issue is my ISP mothership, my cable modem, the airport extreme base station, or any of the myriad of links in the chain along the way.
    It's struck me on more than one occasion that it sure would be handy if I had *another wireless router on the shelf that I could grab & go with.
    At issue, however are several matters:
    --the fact that many other routers don't play nice with macs
    --the fact that I **need to do WEP security (it seems to be being dropped by a lot of newer routers).......but my TIVO won't do WPA & also I still have 2 older imacs on my home wireless network.
    I would LOVE to hear a recommendation of something cheap & locally plentiful (like at the local best buy) that still does WEP & will play nice with macs.
    Thanks for your help.

    You have the option to configure both your AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express to "participate in a WDS network, so the Express will connect to the AiirPort Extreme using wireless only and then "extend" the reach of the wireless network.
    Or, connect the Express to the Extreme using an Ethernet cable and configure it to "create a wireless nework", which will also provide more wireless coverage.....with greater bandwidth because you are connecting routers together using Ethernet, not wireless.
    The following Apple document will give  you all the options:

  • Help on how to make an infinite loop with the same space on all images

    HI:
    I made a movie clip with infinite  loop in which there are images that move from right to left something simple like a marquee, and each image has a blank space between  them, but between last and first image there is a more space, how I can do to  make all images have an equal space between each one and that the motion never stops.

    Thanks for your time and answers my friend, but I'm still not be able to achieve what I want, I forgot to tell that I'm doing this by layers, let's say, I have 5 images, (in fact I have like 50 images converted to movie clip symbols) each image has it's own layer, layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, layer 4, layer 5, then I put a 200 frame motion tween on all layers at 30 fps, then I arranged layer 1 on the first frame to the frame 200, the second layer from frame 50 to frame 250, third layer from frame 100 to frame 300, fourth layer from frame 150 to frame 350, and fifth layer from frame 200 to frame 400, by this I mean I put a 50 frame of space on each image but if you can see, the last image has a duration from frame 200 to frame 400, and there's nothing on frame 250 where it is supposed to be another image to match the same blank space of all the others, the movie clip restarts on the frame 400, and there's a 150 frames of blank space between the last image and the first image, I put the gotoandplay on the frame 250, but it abruptly restarts the movie.
    Is there another way to do this ?
    Am I doing something wrong ?
    Please I really really need help on this.
    Thanks

  • Need to have mail1 play nice with upstream mail server....

    Switched to new mail server and hitting a problem. We have a debian linux box doing SPAM filtering further upstream from the mail server and then sending down to the new leopard mail1 box.

  • AFP doesn't play nice with Kerberos...

    I'd prefer any open ideas before blowing away the OD master and redoing all the accounts....
    If I leave the AFP Authentication type to "Any", network accounts can login to any computer (and with network or portable home directories). If set to Kerbeors, we get the "User account is located on a AFP/SMB share...."
    If logged in, when attempting to connect by AFP, the "Standard" authentication appears. At this point, if I set the AFP access type back to "Kerberos" (which prevents users from logging in), they will get a -35 error as stated before (one or more required items cannot be found...blah blah). Interestingly, if we use the standalone Kerberos app (System/Library/Core Services/Kerberos) to get a Kerberos TGT, we can then connect to AFP shares using Kerberos authentication. So, it seems as if Kerberos is having problems getting connections started.
    So, for now, it seems as if I have to rely on AFP access via the non-kerberized ("Standard") method, which definitely reduces our security. But, at least people can login to network machines.
    So, in the end, Kerberos doesn't really know what is going on...it seems like its pretty confused.

    Many different systems...   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Yes, you're on track with the quickest way to solve this problem: Recreate your Open Directory Master. However, you can save all of the data stored in the database, except for user passwords, if you use Workgroup Manager's File > Export command to save your users, groups, and computer lists. Even MCX records for same are preserved.
    (Exporting from Workgroup Manager is not the same as doing a directory backup and restore via Server Admin. Doing a restore would likely not solve your problem.)
    On to the specifics: I'm guessing that you created the Open Directory Master when your server was using Mac OS X Server 10.4.5 or earlier. Before version 10.4.6, Kerberization was a hit-and-miss procedure: sometimes it would work and sometimes it would not, even when the server's hostname was properly set and a DNS record existed for that name. The problem resides in a hostname resolution issue, but it's one that is most easily fixed by updating to Mac OS X Server 10.4.6 or 10.4.7 and recreating your Open Directory Master. In Mac OS X Server 10.4.6, Apple introduced a better way for the server's hostname to be set.
    In versions 10.4 through 10.4.5, you'd have to make the following changes before promoting your server to Open Directory Master: edit /etc/hostconfig and change HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- to the server's host name, ensure that the server had a valid DNS record for its hostname (via the server's DNS service or existing DNS service), and run the hostname (or equivalent) command to ensure that the hostname was really set. All of this was required to circumvent a system that Apple had put into place but that wasn't effectively working. With the HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- entry in /etc/hostconfig, the server was supposed to set its hostname choosing the first of these that was true: doing a DHCP client ID search, doing a reverse DNS search from the primary Ethernet interface's IPv4 address, setting the hostname to the Bonjour name, then setting it to "localhost." Unfortunately, what always happened, unless the initial boot returned a different result, was the Bonjour name was returned as the hostname. (Some Apple literature calls the Bonjour name, which is a mDNS name, the "local hostname.") Thus, running hostname would always return the Bonjour name, which prevented Kerberos from starting, as Kerberos needs a valid DNS name for the server's hostname.
    Starting with Mac OS X Server 10.4.6, Apple introduced a better way to do a reverse DNS lookup and set the hostname automatically at startup time. Thus, for 10.4.6 and later, /etc/hostconfig needs to have HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-, and you need to ensure that the server is providing DNS services or that your existing DNS services have an entry for the server already.
    You may find this article helpful: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302044
    It offers an additional suggestion of adding an entry for the server to /etc/hosts, should some problem with DNS arise. It also uses scutil --set to set the hostname; this command performs the equivalent of using the hostname command as I've suggested. In my testing since 10.4.6, I have had to recreate some Open Directory databases in order to get Kerberos working (or working again); however, usually the hostname is set properly after a restart automatically.
    Just for reference, the "Standard" authentication for AFP uses Diffie-Hellman Exchange (DHX), which is an encrypted password transport.

  • PixelsPerPx does not play nice with customizing the Toolbar.

    I have a MacBook Pro and the screen has a very high number of pixels per cm^2. The screen is great, but the high pixel density often makes website text very small and hard to read.
    So, I used about:config to edit <layout.css.devPixelsPerPx>. Setting it to 1.1 or 1.2 "dumbs down" the resolution, but it makes things readable again. This is a great option - please consider adding it to Preferences or otherwise making it easy to use.
    Here is the problem: when I try to customize my toolbar (View > Toolbars > Customize), Firefox crashes.
    If I reset <layout.css.devPixelsPerPx> to 1.0, then I can customize my toolbar with no crashing. Apparently the PixelsPerPx option seriously conflicts with View > Toolbars > Customize.

  • How can I get my LaCie NAS to play nice with Lion?

    Hi all-
    I bought a LaCie 2TB NAS a couple months before upgrading to Lion. All was well when my MBP had Snow Leopard instand and the NAS was plugged into my Air Port Extreme. As many know, this came to an end with the upgrade to Lion. I contacted LaCie and they said it's Apple's fault. Not true, according to this PC Mag article - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2390376,00.asp#fbid=T9f11ODgJPm. I'm just trying to find some solution that will allow me to use this drive the way I used to use it for the 6 weeks I was able to before upgrading to Lion. I don't have experience coding and am not really looking to replace my Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule (I bought the AE earlier this year).
    Any information is definetely appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Sorry to bring you bad news but it looks like LACIE has decided too screw it's 5Big v1 customers and after several support tickets has basically given me two options.
    1. go back to OSX Snow Leopard
    2. buy a 5Big v2
    All v1 device owners seem to be in the same boat with OSX Lion.
    Way to make my 5Big v1 still under warrranty a door stop.

  • FCP isn't playing nice with my camera

    I'm having problems getting FCP to communicate with my mini DV camera. (I have both a Canon ZR70 and a Canon ZR80 . . .this problem applies to both of them.)
    I'm trying to capture video, but things aren't working as they usually do.
    -The camera is hooked up to my G4 via firewire.
    -I turn on the camera and launch FCP.
    -Under the video playback, it says: (missing) Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480)
    -The External Video options are greyed out
    -I try refreshing AV devices but nothing changes
    The thing that really has me baffled is that when I launch Capture, it say "VTR okay." The transports in the capture window will control my video camera, but the captures window says "No video available."
    So, the camera and computer seem to be talking to each other, but they won't transfer video or audio.
    Help?

    For what it's worth, this system has worked fine until this last week. However, I just remembered that I've updated a lot of software on this computer . . .including upgrading it from OS 10.3 to OS 10.4 (it's incompatible with OS 10.5). Right now I'm in the middle of loading software updates . . .However, none of them seem to be related to FCP.
    Having said all that . . .
    I've tried trashing the preferences, and that didn't help. Not sure I want to completely re-install FC Studio at this point. Yes, I do have a tape with video in the camera, and yes, the easy setup is set up correctly.
    Yes, I DO have a Firewire drive hooked up at the same time. I'm using this as my scratch drive. This HAS worked until now, but as you said, there appear to be a number of issues with this. I'll play with that for a while.
    I'll work on these other suggestions and report back if none of this clears up the problem.
    Thanks for the tips!

I have an older controller - it's an Edirol UR-80, made by Roland, and it worked perfectly with my old setup. Logic will recognize it and I can program some functions to work correctly, but my beloved track wheel and any of the main buttons (play, record, etc.) just won't work. I've done a bunch of research, called all relevant manufacturers, and even took it to the Apple Store, but nobody can help. The folks at the Applie Store said that since it's not a supported control surface, the transport features might just not work. But I thought I would put it to you geniuses out there to see if someone has had a similar problem or any thoughts on what might help. Any help would be most appreciated!

    I do not know this piece of equipment, but the rule of thumb is simple: any knob/wheel/slider/switch that sends a MIDI message when touched, can be applied in Logic. So the thing for you to do is to examine what sort of message they send, and then use the 'Midi learn' function to set it up manually.
    The best way to monitor midi messages is in the environment, with a monitor object.

  • Samba doesn't want to play nice with DNS

    I'm trying to join my machine to my organization's AD domain, and one of the steps is that I do a "net ads dns register", which comes back with "DNS update support not enabled at compile time!" I rebuilt samba from ABS, adding the --with-dnsupdate, as specified in my organization's documentation and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/156686. However, I'm still getting the same error after installing my package. Any ideas?

    EJT,
    Sorry but I'm not 100% sure I understand your question.
    When you say
    noticed that when putting it on that the theme doesn't start to play immediately upon starting it up as it used to do.
    Are you talking about 1) pushing the "play" button inside iDVD to preview the project?
    Or 2) are you talking about playing the completed iDVD on your Mac?
    Or 3) on a DVD set-top stand-alone player?
    If it's #1, then try deleting your iDVD plist file, com.apple.iDVD.plist
    If it's #2, check your DVD player (not iDVD) preferences. Look at the "previously viewed" tab.
    If it's #3, then it's probably the quality of the burn itself. Try new blank DVDs, or use "Save as Disk Image" and then mount and play the image with the DVD player in your applications folder.

  • Enigmail and GnuPG Don't Play Nice With Permissions

    In Thunderbird, I've got Enigmail to handle my GPG shit. The problem is that Enigmail needs to read .gnupg/private-keys-v1.d
    STRING is the random string in the filename, I don't know if that is sensitive. If anyone can tell me what that is, bonus kudos.
    enigmail> /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf-8 --display-charset utf-8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 --import /home/c0rtex/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/STRING.key
    gpg: can't open '/home/c0rtex/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/STRING.key': Permission denied
    Anyways, it works fine if I change the permissions of .gnupg
    However, the Arch wiki states that the permissions for .gnupg should be 700 and the files be 600 (which they are now). Otherwise gpg spits out a warning message. I don't know how big a deal this really is, there isn't much to be gained if my encrypted email were comprimised. But I try to implement best security practices on principal.
    I'm feel this has to be an easy solution, change enigmails access privilidges?

    The way I read the table at that link, the driver is already installed in Leopard -- so there is a chance that what you downloaded isn't as good as what shipped with Leopard.
    In fact, clicking on the yes** in the table yields these instructions:
    +If your printer is listed as bundled on Mac OS X 10.5, follow these instructions to install the printer.+
    +Do not install the driver found on the installation CD or do not download and install driver found on the web. Refer to instructions below on recovering driver from Mac OS X 10.5 CD.+
    +Plug and play+
    +* Power on you printer.+
    +* Plug the USB cable to your printer and to your Mac.+
    +* The OS will automatically create the printer queue.+

  • 3D games (Minecraft) not playing nice with Nouveau or Nvidia-304xx

    New to minecraft and 3d gaming on linux, got it up and running. With the nvidia-304xx driver, I can play a few minutes then it spikes the processor and I only get 0-3 fps (before it spikes I get 60-70). I tried various in game settings, from full graphics to minimal and nearly every thing in between. Read the wiki and it stated there were some issues with the driver and to update the LWJGL or just switch to nouveau. Updated the game libraries and had the same effect, switched to nouveau and it would crash after world selection. I found an old forum were they launched the game as sudo, thought I would give it a whirl, and it does launch. I am in the video and games group, so I don't know why there would be a permissions issue. Minecraft is the only game I play on this computer and would prefer to have nouveau working. Any help would be appreciated

    System is a corei7 i920 with 6GB ram (desktop). Graphics card is the oldest thing in there but don't really play many games. Runs torchlight and psychonauts on full graphics with no issue. I did try updating to 1.5 prerelease since my original post to see if that would help (didn't). I noticed that the nvidia-304xx has an updated version in testing repo that I am going to try once I get a chance. It does seem that the higher I turn the graphics the faster it hits, so my current settings will give me about 10-15mins before dropping to 0-3 fps, full graphics gives me 30sec-2min, and every thing off gives me about 30min (but at that point all aesthetics are lost and isn't as fun to play)
