Move files without pressing down the trackpad in Lion

I just got my new 13" Macbook Air but can't move files (or windows) by "double clicking and holding" the way I could on my old Macbook Pro. In order to move something I need to press down the trackpad, or use three fingers on it. Did Apple remove this option with Lion or how do I make it work?

BEAUTIFUL!!!! HERE IS A MORE SIMPLER APPROACH
If you want to reactivate the classic double-tap-and-drag gesture, it's possible, but the option is well-hidden. Instead of being in System Preferences under Trackpad, it's actually under System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse and Trackpad > Trackpad Options. Click the check box that says "Dragging" and you should be all set.

Move files without locking down edits

In LightRoom 5 when I try to move image files (or sub-folders) to another folder I get a message that, if I continue, I will not be able to undo any changes made prior to the move. I take this to mean that moving the file will lock down any edits so that I cannot revert back to my unedited RAW file if I wish. Is this correct? If so, is there a way to move the files without locking down current edits?

I think that message is a bit ambiguous and refers to file locations, not edits. In fact if you copy folders first using your computer OS, you can safely update the folder location, without seeing the message and before deleting to tidy up the OS. It’s generally felt to be a safer method – see fig 8 on the attached link. Why not give it a try.

How to upload files in cluster without bringing down the cluster.

Hi,
Here is my problem:
My weblogic portal 7.0 application should run in 24x7 environment. The production
system is running in a cluster mode with external staging. Both the managed servers
are pointing to the same application sync database.
So to give a solution to this problem, we are trying to bring down one managed
server down and apply the patches into that managed server without bringing down
the other. Since webflow files and entitlements needs to be synchronized with
the portal database. If we perform a sync on the portal database, there might
be a chance that it might corrupt the existing portal database state. Our deployment
would not be complete unless we perform a sync on the other managed servers. So
we could not able to update the latest pathces into the cluster without bringing
down the cluster.
What I would like to know is "Is there any work around to get rid of this problem?".
I would be delighted if any one provides the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Ratnakar

Hi Ratnakar,
When you perform sync you do it against the admin server which in turn does it
to the managed server. If you want to apply any changes to webflow you can do
it on the live system itself. I mean apply the new webflow and entitlements and
do the sync on the live system. Also while doing sync there are two modes. One
mode will sync only the modified changes and the other will apply all of it. You
can opt for the first option by which you can sync only the modified changes.
This may bring a small disturbance but it will be unnoticed.
The other option is to have two separate domains(each having one admin & one or
more managed servers) which may be having two separate portal databases. In this
way you can apply patches to one domain while other domain may provide the service.

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab to the next cell

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to make Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab to the next cell once a certain number of digits is entered, for example, I'm using a barcode scanner to scan a barcode of 13 digits, so I want Excel
to move to the next cell once the barcode is scanned.
example: I'm In cell A1, this code appeared after scanning "AABB1234567CC", I want Excel to move to A2 in order to scan the next barcode.

Hi,
Excel has no direct feature or option to achieve your goal. We'd better try the macro via VBA code to test. Please see the thread:

It's recommended to download and install

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Mov files playing upside down

When I send mov files to other peoples computers or anyone with an ibm-PC the mov files are upside down. How do I correct this?

Me again nick, but on the video quality - btw, I really like ur work - I was struck by http://web.me.com/coutroulis/Nikos_site/neulasta.html, which is exhibiting the same behavior as some QT files being exported from FCS 3 here in the studio, using either QT or Compressor engine. And that would be the de-interlacing artifacts on fast moving changes, as with transitions, sails flapping, flower petals falling etc.. I have not figured out why the "noise" appears yet in just certain HD projects, but what we found was that after we uploaded to youtube (and all of our stuff goes there with the rest of the garbage), that artifact went away. That was a case of "garbage in, amrita out." It also goes away (somewhat) when we burn to DVD. But the artifact only popped up after we certified FCS3 on Snow Leopard. Now everyone is shaking their heads. Perhaps this is related...

Is it possible to kill a (last) task without shut down the hole App?

Is it possible to kill a (last) task without shut down the hole App?
For example you wanna open/import something in Adobe AE and the finderdialog hangs.
You dont have any chance to save your work before quit the app.
May it could be a code in Terminal or something like else.
So, is it possible to whrite it down for me please?
thx frank

You can kill any individual process by using Activity Monitor, selecting the process, and using the Kill Process command. The location and precise phrasing of the command will vary by version of OS X; in Mavericks it's the "x" button at the upper-left corner of the screen.
If it's some part of the application that has hung, though, it's highly probable that killing a process associated with the application will bring down the entire program. In such as case there's almost never any option. In the case of the application hanging in the file open/save dialog, then I don't believe that there will be any way you can recover without forcing the entire application to quit.

My CD will not eject, tried holding down the trackpad and restarting still won't eject.

My cd will not eject. I tried restarting my Mac while holding down the trackpad, still it will not eject. I hear it try to open but nothing happens.

If you have a Retina model then you don't have a built in Superdrive, it would be external. As far as I know the holding down of the trackpad to Force Eject a CD/DVD disc from the drive only works on models that have built in CD/DVD drives. So you'll need to take ther drive apart to get the disc out.
More than likely your external Superdrive has failed in some way, like the moter that is used to take in and eject the disc has failed.
In the future buy a new DVD drive that is a tray load design. Any brand will work with your Mac. It does not have to have the Apple name on it to work properly on any Mac computer.

With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

Gary Krouse
We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
Thanks.

SAP System copy without shutting down the source and the target system

Hi,
We need to need to System refresh without shutting down both the source and the target system, i read the docs from SAP looks like we need to shutdown the source system during export and import phase, is there any way to do the system refresh without shutting down the system.
Sathish

Hi,
Think a little bit about what is a database and you'll get the answer that what you "need to need" is impossible.
Of course it is possible to keep the source running (hopefully, because ususally it is the production system !) by using an online backup, but you need to stop the target system because you will restore a backup on it.
If you use the export/import way, you have to stop both source and target system.

Olivier
