Making "Sleep" the default in shutdown Dialog Box

Hi,
Since I rarely shut down my computer, I'd like to make "Sleep" the default (highlighted blue button) instead of "Shut Down" when I press the round button to the right of the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Mark

The reason I haven't been just closing the lid is because I was told by a "genius" at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store that it's always best to initiate any of these options (sleep, shut down, etc) by pressing this button and making a selection.
never heard that one before.
Is this true? I guess I should have asked him why.
But opt-command-eject works great!
Many thanks for all the input.
You are welcome!

  • How to stop cursor (pointer) moving to default button in dialog boxes?

    My cursor has been automatically moving to the default button in dialog boxes. So if I'm "saving as..." it moves to the "enter" or "ok" button. In other dialogs it moves to the cancel button, or whatever is highlighted. I use a big monitor so my wrists are aching from rolling my trackball all day to get where I want to go and away from the default.
    I'm not sure where this happened, but I can't find the cause. I've turned off all my menu bar items, and it still happens. But I can't find anything in OS preferences related, nor accessibility. Unless I'm missing it. Happens with the trackball unplugged, using just the trackpad. Happens in all apps.
    I have a vague recollection of engaging something like this in the last OS, but it hasn't been happening until recently, long after I would have enabled it. I think it started on my upgrade to Yosemite, but not sure.
    Can anyone help? Terminal commands ok.
    Thanks,

    It's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize.

  • What are the advantages of utilizing a dynamic VI compared to utilizing the VI Call Configuration Dialog Box Reload for each call option?

    Is it more efficient to use a dynamic VI or utilize the VI Call Configuration Dialog Box which apparently can perform the same function? I realize that there are restrictions on using the VI Call Configuration Dialog Box, however, if my scenario doesn't concern the restrictions, why would I want to go thru the trouble of creating a dynamic VI when I could simply click on the VI of interest and configure from a menu? Are there performance advantages? Thanks in advance!

    Generally, I wouldn't recommend playing with the call setup dialog at all (for those who don't know it, you can get to it by right clicking a subVI in the BD). By default, VIs are configured to load with callers and that's the correct options for almost all static VIs. The Open VI Reference primitive has multiple advantages:
    It allows you to select different VIs dynamically.
    It allows you to spawn multiple copies of reentrant VIs.
    It allows you to perform asynch runs (although I think that this is something that should actually be available through the call setup dialog).
    It allows you to open references to VIs in other application instances.
    In the rare cases where you do want the same functionality that the call setup dialog gives you, it doesn't hide it.
    Try to take over the world!

  • I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1.  An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6.  If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates.  If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

    When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account.

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out

  • How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

    How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
    Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
    1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
    2. The reason to select a leading check box
    3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
    4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
    Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
    Thanks

    As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
    Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
    Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
    That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
    If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
    Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
    Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

    how do i make the word save as dialog box stop popping up when trying to convert to pdf?

    Hi rus-tee,
    That's interesting--what are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Word? Or are you using the Adobe PDF Pack online service. Please describe your process for converting to PDF, and we'll get to the bottom of this!

  • How do I ensure user name is shown rather than 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box?

    How can I ensure user names are shown rather than just 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box that appears when attempting to edit a checked out document in Microsoft Word/Excel? 
    All suggestions welcome. 

    If I recall correctly, that dialog is generated by the Office client product supporting that file type. There would be no way to modify it.

    And in any case, in any version of Windows that I've looked at, the file copy animation is an AVI, not a GIF.

  • I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

    I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

    The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up.   Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
    It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
    The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog.  It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
    You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
    There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge   Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge

  • How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive.

    How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive without clicking on save option everytime when saving an image. I'm using firefox ver 35.0.1 for windows 7.

    Click on the Firefox menu. Then click "Options". Go to "Applications" tab. Search for jpg and png file type. You will find they have "Always ask" action attribute. Change it to "Save file".
    Hope it will work fine for you.

    One small thing - I believe the reason why some of my drivers were messing up was because they were SP2 specific; the older drivers and the ones that were compatible with both SP and 2 were fine.
    As soon as I did the reinstall, all of the drivers/programs that were not working, worked (aside from the ones that I mentioned in my attached email above).
    So, if after uninstalling the old SP2 you are told that loads of drivers/programs will not work, fear not - most should fix themselves upon installing the new SP2.
