Minor trackpad problem: perhaps user error? Contrary to help file film clip

I deduce, from "General Settings," that one may set up the trackpad so that a double-tap, with one finger, may be used to select a window and drag it to a different location on the screen. Que no?
Having enabled this feature, I played with double-tap speed at various settings. The only reaction I could elicit from a double tap was, to minimize the window. Not quite the same as, moving the window.
Note that, I scrupulously timed my second tap so as, quickly to start the drag motion (as described in the Missing Manual book I bought!)
Fresh new MBP, clean finger-tip, clean trackpad. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I might be doing, that is incorrect?

Oh. It sounds like you don't have the click-and-drag feature enabled. Do this:
- Open System Preferences
- Click on the "Keyboard & Mouse" icon.
- Click on the "Trackpad" tab.
- Under "Trackpad Gestures" heading, check the boxes for both "Clicking" and "Dragging"
Let me know if that works.

  • Possible Bug (or Perhaps User Error) When Importing Audio

    During a recent session I wanted to import some vocal samples I purchased. The vocal samples are 24bit WAV and when started to preview them via Logic's browser, things got strange.
    When previewing the audio, the vocal samples automatically "fade out" after about 5 seconds, when the actual samples are much greater in length, some up to 15 seconds long. I place the file into the arrange window and after selecting "no" to the option of importing the tempo information, the placed region reflects the previewed audio in that it is much shorter than what is should be length wise. I even have the project tempo identical to the sample tempo. Here's where it gets stranger.
    These same samples play in their entirety when using iTunes. As a test, I converted a couple of the samples to AIFF and WAV via iTunes, and then imported these new files into Logic. The files play in their entirety now, however, because they were converted in iTunes they have been resampled to 16bit. As a purist, I like to keep my audio in its original state until mixdown/bouncing from Logic.
    Has anyone had a similar issue with their audio files? I'm well versed when it comes to using Logic and this is something I've never encountered before and have exhausted all attempts to solve this problem on my own.
    All help/suggestions much appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Thanks for all the input.  The biggest problem I'm having with all this - is the PE-11 on my laptop lets me drag iTunes songs directly to the video project.  The PE-11 on my desktop has the error.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled, on the desktop - but the problem still exists.  Within iTunes, you can right-click on a song and make an mp3 copy (which is then added to your "recently added" tab in iTunes).  I have converted the songs I want to MP3 so I can finish the project.  I didn't have to make a .wav file - and the copyright protection is a non-issue, as my brother is the artist who's songs I'm trying to use on my latest project.
    iTunes has relaxed their policy on inclusion of iTunes music in videos (which is why it works on my laptop).  Yes - you still need the artists release agreement for copyright - but according to what I've received from Apple today - iTunes isn't stopping me from putting the songs in - it's got to be an Adobe thing.  Strange thing here is both machines (laptop and desktop) are Dells.  Desktop is an Alienware Auroa R4; laptop is a Dell Latitude E6430 -- both running Win-7.
    Once I finish the project - I'll see if I have the same issue with Premiere Pro CS6 - which we have at work.  Years ago - the only way to use a songs from my iTunes library was to burn the desired songs to a playlist on CD, then re-import into iTunes, with mp3 as the default importer - then move the files into the project.  At least now - within  iTunes, you can convert a song directly to mp3 without creating a separate disk - but I'm bothered as to why the mp4 works fine in PE-11 on one machine - but not the other.  Obviously, I can't solve it today (smile) so I'm moving on in order to finish the video project.
    Again - thanks for all your help.  I'll advise (next week) how my test of iTunes on Premiere Pro CS6 works (natively or mp3 conversion required).

  • 6D flash sync problem; flash not reporting to body? Firmware glitch? User error?

    I was shooting my 6D today at the aviary. I believe I was in TV mode. Had my Canon 320EX speedlite on. I had been shooting with the flash off but turned it on. The shutter was set at 1/400th. The ISO was, I know, still set from the last room I was in, which was dark, so it is at ISO 3200. 
    All the birds depicted were actually whole animals; no half-birds were anywhere to be seen. 
    Anyway, the camera failed to reduce the shutter to the camera's max sync speed (1/180) like you expect it to do. As a result, the flash was clearly out of sync with the shutter.
    Also, the metadata says "flash did not fire". But obviously it did fire.
    Could this be a firmware glitch? Bad camera? Some obvious user error I am overlooking?

    Why do so many people say "fer-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Assuming the flash & camera are 100% compatible (newer models of bodies aren't always happy with older strobes) AND based on some problems I've had with my 1Ds2 & 580 EX it may be that the flash isn't as far forward into the hot shoe as possible, or even if it is it's not making PERFECT connections on all 5 terminals. I've had that problem a few times & now check for it. If I don't get the result I expect on my test shots (to check exposure) I wiggle & re adjust until I do get the right result.

  • Problem when adding ascx user control in the MasterPage: Parser Error Message: The referenced file ... is not allowed on this page.

    Hello,
    I have to maintain a SharePoint 2010 project, in which a TopNavigation User Control for SiteCollection is registered in the MasterPage in this way:
    <%@ Register TagPrefix="ABC" TagName="TopNavigation" src="~/_layouts/ABCApplication/MainSite/Navigation/TopNavigation.ascx" %>
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTopNavBar" runat="server">
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderHorizontalNav" runat="server">
                                        <ABC:TopNavigation ID="TopNavi" XMLDataLocation="/_layouts/ABCApplicatopm/MainSite/TopNavigation.xml" IsRoot="true"
    runat="server" />
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    When I deploy the SiteCollection, the TopNavigation user control is working correctly. Unfortunately when i modify the masterpage over SharePoint Designer, the following error message comes allways, regardless of the art of changes i did in the MAsterPage
    ( even if I open the MasterPage, add an space and do save/close the MasterPage).
    "Problem when adding user control in my custom master page, Parser Error Message: The referenced file '/_layouts/Navigation/TopNavigation.ascx' is not allowed on this page."
    Any ideas?

    Hi Simon,
     When we use UserControl in SharePoint Page or MasterPage, and the UserControl is kept in any folder other than ControlTemplates, we will got the error. Here is an article about this issue and provided the solution:

  • "Error: the xajax Javascript file could not be included. Perhaps the URL is incorrect? URL: /includes/javascript/xajax_js/xajax.js". other posters with a xajax error on this board got the response to go look for developer resources. (i'm not a developer)

    I'm on a mac running 10.6.8, was using Firefox 6.02 when the problem started, i performed a clean install of 7.01, installed the latest Flashplayer, and reinstalled java (the 10.6.5 update file from apple's site).
    I seem able to load video at youtube.com, and was able to load web-based irc chatrooms at ircchat.tv. however, at jamplay.com a paid member site, all of the lessons are flash video, and there's a live video feed chat room that is also flash based, and I am not able to view this content. the video content pops up the error message "Error: the xajax Javascript file could not be included. Perhaps the URL is incorrect?
    URL: /includes/javascript/xajax_js/xajax.js" and the clicking on the "launch chatroom" button does exactly nothing.
    I have contacted the jamplay site team but their recommendations are the steps I have already taken, mentioned above, that did not resolve the issue.
    some links to content on their site visible without being a member:
    http://www.jamplay.com/
    this one has a flash interface that, if things were working, would have a video in the center and members and staff talking abouth that area of the site when you click on one of the title buttons. Now that I am having this problem, nothing is clickable and there's no indication that there should be a video in the center. The error message regarding xajax does not come up at all.
    http://www.jamplay.com/guitar-lessons/beginners/1/527-16-circle-of-fifths
    same thing. video content is missing, xajax error does not appear.
    http://www.jamplay.com/live
    when I load these all content except the video loads on the page. this page does not give me the error at all, just does not load the video
    I can't seem to recreate the actual error without being logged in as a member of the site.
    The apple support team gave me a one-time free suppport ticket to troubleshoot an ethernet issue I was having. Unfortunately, the databases I removed were not deemed either by apple or me to be noteworthy or necessary to retain (all of them were for software I not longer have or use). I don't know which plist file might have been the one I need now. I did reinstall the java and flash items. The only other item that I think it might be is a set of belkin router software that I uninstalled because i'm not using any belkin hardware anymore.
    If someone has any kind of idea I would be most appreciative.

    That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

  • AD SSO "unknown user" error

    Hi all,
    I've been having trouble with AD SSO on NAC deployed in L2 OOB VG mode.
    Users are getting a message that says:
    Unknown user
    Please contact your administrator if the problem persists.
    I check the event logs in the NAC Manager and it says "Unknown user via ADSSO, [MAC_ADDRESS ## IP_ADDRESS] user@DOMAIN"
    The AS SSO service is shown as "started" for the NAC Server however, running the command "netstat -a | grep 8910" at the terminal returns nothing.
    I also try an auth test to see if there was a problem with the agent but that shows up with the same "unknown user" error.
    I tried creating an LDAP authentication server with the same options as the LDAP lookup server for AD SSO and I get the same error.
    The AD SSO was working a few days ago and the System Admin says he hasn't changed anything in the domain controller. I haven't changed anything else in the NAC config except I started rolling it out to more users.
    Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

    Hi huicab,
    The problem was that the LDAP user in the AD was in the wrong OU. I'm not the sys admin so I'm just telling you what he told me lol.
    We sniffed the port of the AD server and he realised that the credentials were being denied by AD even though no failed login attempts were logged in the system (weird =/). So he did some stuff on the user, double checked the password and all the other values and it started working. I have no clue how come it stopped working though. Now that you mention it, it was probably a security patch in the domain controller that stops users in a certian OU or outside of a certain OU from doing certain stuff. I dunno I'm really not a Windows guy but I'd recommend using Wireshark to sniff the Domain Controller's NIC at the time of the AD SSO login attempts to see what packets it gets and what reply it sends out, then you can take action from there.
    Hope this helps!

    You seem to have some confusion between java and javascript, and when they run.
    Java code runs only on the server, and produces an HTML page.
    Javascript code runs on the client.
    The two can not communicate. Specific to your example you seem to think that the java code will be executed by your onChange event.
    This is not the case.
    In order to run java code again you have make a request by submitting the form, or clicking on a link.

  • Magic Trackpad Problems in Lion

    Since loading Lion on to my 2011 MBP 13" I have a number of gesture issues on my Magic Trackpad. It seems to have a will of its own and refuses to follow the trackpad on my laptops 'lead', with particular reference to Safari, full screen apps and moving back and forwards. I've played with all the trackpad settings in system pref and still nowhere. Any thoughts chaps? Many thanks in advance.

    Just wanted to add my experiences to the mix. I've had the magic trackpad (bluetooth) problems, too. Mostly, I've seen behavior where certain gestures do things they're not supposed to (and that are incredibly discruptive), like, when I single-click something, Mission Control launches. Grrrr. Anyhoo, in addition to the suggestions here, I have found that the bluetooth trackpad really likes fresh batteries. In fact, I've seen my trackpad problems go away entirely when I put in new batteries, and the battery level is back up to 100%. I've also seen the trackpad do fine when the battery level is down at 10%, but, when those problems start happening, fresh batteries have done the trick every time. It's as if a stronger bluetooth signal clears out the confusion. Oh, and, somewhat ironically perhaps, I have re-chargeable batteries that I bought from the Apple store online, and, those seem to cause the problem more often than traditional batteries, too.
    Oh, and there's this KB article from Apple, too:
