I mistakenly moved my apple keyboard layout bundle to the trash can and now I am unable to log onto my computer. I can't type anything so I can't access my account to get back onto my computer.

restart and hold Command+r to enter in recovery mode and ill allow you to repair your OS X installation. If you cannot repair it, then just create a new user, as usually issues with keyboards are rooted in the user's account.
Good luck

No audio playback when moving playhead frame by frame

FCP version: 5.0
Machine: Macbook
When I use the keyboard arrows to move the playhead forward frame by frame, I'm not hearing any audio. Even the audio level meter doesn't seem to move
But when I play the timeline normally, the audio is there, and the audio level meter starts moving again.
I normally use this to find the very start of a person's speech, but without the audio, it's quite hard to put a cut in right at the first word that a person says.
What can I do to hear the audio when I move the arrow keys?

Press shift and S keys to turn on "Audio Scrubbing".

Can't hear audio when manually moving playhead

This is a very basic question, but I can't seem to find an answer through either the discussion forums or through HELP. I'd like to be able to hear an audio track in the editor by manually moving the playhead (not by selecting the PLAY button) back and forth. Is there a way to do this in Garageband? I can do this in Soundtrack Pro with no problems, but I don't seem to be able to do this very basic editing procedure in Garageband.

I probably shouldn't have said 'almost impossible'. You can hit 'play' but it's running in real time, which for me is awkward. I'm used to being able to confirm what a waveform actually is by listening to it while moving the playhead.
It's not the same thing, but what might be helpful is to use the cycle function, and then zoom in if you want to drill down.
A sneeze doesn't have a specific signature -- it has of course an attack and sustain. Unless you actually hear it, you can't tell. Coming from the audio world (radio broadcasting) where precision audio editing is a requirement, I've learned to rely on scrubbing when editing commercials.
What's that?! Using your ears? I'm sorry... I don't quite follow.
Another thing you might find helpful is to use Contour Design's Shuttle Pro. While it works with Garageband, it can't add any features that aren't already there, so while it can move the playhead, it can't actually scrub audio.

It's just what you're used to doing I guess.
I'm not a big scrubber, but I know some audio folks can't live without it and I would imagine most pro DAWs support it. I agree - it's all how you like to work and it may be that GB isn't the DAW for you.

Script for moving playhead to last frame, then exporting jpg?

Hi,
I have a lot of Flash files for which I need to export jpgs of their last frame. Could a kind soul out there guide me on how to write a command for moving the timeline's playhead to the last frame, then exporting a jpg (at Full Document Size, 72 dpi, 96% quality)?
A million thanks,
Kevin

private function snapshotLastFrame():void
gotoAndStop( this.totalFrames );
_bitmapData                         = new BitmapData( stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );
_bitmap                              = new Bitmap( _bitmapData );
_bitmapData.draw ( stage );
saveImageJPG( _bitmapData, "test.jpg", 96 );
public function saveImageJPG( bitmapData:BitmapData, fileName:String, quality:int ):void {
            this.jpgEncoder = new JPGEncoder( quality );
            this.fileReference = new FileReference();
            this.fileReference.save( this.jpgEncoder.encode( bitmapData ), fileName + ".jpg" );
Keep in mind that you need a few extra libraries to be able to create a jpeg.. (AS3CoreLib) can be found at googleCode.

Moving playhead frame by frame

Everything is in the title. I've done some changes in the keyboard settings and can't find the way to move the playhaed frame by frame with the left and right arrow keys... The arrows are currently locked on moving from an edit to another.
Could you help me with that.
Thanks a lot.

Hello, Thank you for your answer.
The timaline is of course selected, I've restarted and i am not able to type the arrow key in the searching tool of the keyboard shortcuts....
Actually, I would need to find the "Adobe name" for this move... But I can't find it in the shortcuts...
Any other idea?
Thanks in advance.

Moving/copying custom keyboard shortcuts

Hi,
I have PremierPro CS5 running on a MACBook Pro. I have created a load of custom keyboard shortcuts and basically want to copy this file over to another edit machine I work on.
is this possible!.
thanks in advance
Russel

Yes, I'm aware of these keyboard shortcuts to move the cursor around and for selecting text. But I want to move the actual paragraphs around. So if I have 5 paragraphs, I want to use keyboard shortcuts to more paragraph 3 in front of paragraph 1. Not by selecting the text, cutting the text, moving the curser, and pasting the text.
In OpenOffice I could set a keyboard shortcut (CtrlShift^) to move the current paragraph above or below the surrounding paragraphs. Is this possible?

Trouble moving playhead along timeline

Hi,
I apologize if this questions has already been asked and answered. I tried searching through the Flash forum and was unable to find the answer I was looking for.
I am very new to Flash and apologize for the simplicity of the question, but I am having trouble moving the playhead along the timeline in Flash. For example, when I open up a new Flash project, and start out with the initial layer with it’s single frame, I am having trouble moving the playhead forward to frame i.g. "75" or "80". My questions is, can I not move the playhead because I do not have content past frame one or can I not move the playhead because I have accidentally initiated a button or action that will only allow me to scrub my playhead through frames with content. On the off chance I had done this, I tried restarting Flash with the default settings with no success. Again, I realize this may be a very simple question and I am hoping the answer will be the same.

when you're in the authoring environment, you need a frame to exist at 75 or 80 before you can move the play head there. so, right click frame 75 and click insert frame or insert keyframe or insert blank keyframe.

Flex Mobile - Moving up for keyboard

Not sure if this is where i should post this question about Flex Mobile, but don't see any forums for Flex Mobile.
My question should be simple enough. I create a Android app and it works perfect. About ready to put it in the market, but one odd thing I can't find on google is how to move the app (or at least the onFocus TextInput) up so the phone's keyboard doesn't cover it.
Does anyone know what event (if any) is fired off when the phones keyboard is summoned and how to keep your text area above it.
Thanks!
Also..where can I find the new api info on things like using the phone's camera, gps, accelerometer,etc?

maybe http://swfhead.com/blog/?p=904 will be helpful

Is there a shortcut for moving playhead precisely in a clip

Is there a shortcut to move the play head precisely in a clip? For instance 1 second forward from beginning of clip -- or 1 second back from end of clip?
I want to insert key frames for fades and zooms. thanks.

Sean:
In your timeline, and nothing selected, place the playhead in the reference location (in your example, at the beginning of your clip) and just type the desired playhead "movement": i.e. type 10 + ENTER and your playhead will move 10 frames forward. You can use seconds too: i.e. typing -1.15 will move your pleyhead 1:15 secs. backwards.
Hope it helps !
Alberto

Moving playhead in 10 frame increments

I'm pretty such this can be done, but I forget how.
If I want to move my timeline (or viewer) playhead ahead 10 frames every time
I hit the right arrow, how is that accomplished?
Thanks.

Hi:
Read this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3589910&#3589910
AFAIK you cannot program the arrow keys to jump that way . . . but I'm still learning.

New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

i hope you guys can help because i tried to move the hero but i couldn.t the whole problem from the HERO class (i guess)
thank you

I don't see the HERO class in any code you show, and if there is no instance of it on the stage, then you have no HERO object to move. Nothing is creating one and there is none to begin with otherwise.
What you might try to help you understand and get this working is to create a new fla file and create a movieclip on the stage and assign it the class name HERO via its linkage. Then, with the HERO class file in the same folder as that fla, run the fla. YOu should see the HERO object moving with your keyboard controls.
Then, remove that object from the stage and in the first frame use... var hero:HERO = new HERO(); addChild(hero);   ... and you should see the same result of being able to move a dynamically created instance of HERO around with the keyboard.
Then see how to work this into the other file you are wroking on.

IPad + Wireless Keyboard + Onscreen Keyboard?

Is there a way to tell the iPad to bring up the onscreen keyboard? The wireless keyboard connects and the onscreen keyboard disappears. I found that I can press the CD Eject button on the wireless keyboard to bring up the onscreen keyboard. What if the wireless keyboard isn't handy? Isn't there some way to bring up the onscreen keyboard from the iPad itself?

In case it helps anyone else, I found this in the manual:
Onscreen Keyboard Doesn’t Appear
If iPad is paired with a Bluetooth keyboard, or if it’s connected to the iPad Keyboard Dock, the onscreen keyboard does not appear. To cause the keyboard to appear, press the Keyboard key on the Keyboard Dock, or press the Eject key on a Bluetooth keyboard. Disconnecting the iPad Keyboard Dock, or moving the Bluetooth keyboard out of range or turning it off, will also allow the onscreen keyboard to appear.
My guess is that the bluetooth signal is reaching much further than you would expect, which explains why the onscreen keyboard won't display when the wireless keyboard and iPad are in different rooms or even separated by as much as 30 feet.
Update: This was confirmed... I ran a small test with one person at the iPad and another person walking around typing numbers on the wireless keyboard. Starting with 1,Return,2,Return,3,Return, etc. The keyboard and the iPad were literally 4 rooms (50+ feet) apart and still working together. It was pretty amazing.

Key functions have changed on my wireless keyboard

The open CD key has moved on my keyboard. It has become the F12 key. Is there any way I can reset this operation back to the open CD key?

Open System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts tab, see if you can change it there.
