Multiple Kiosks with One Mac

I'm looking for a solution to use one Mac to run multiple kiosk screens. On each screen the user will be accessing a local web page to view content. I'd like to run multiple screens per computer rather than having to have one machine per screen since I need to have 5 or more screens.
As for the machine running the kiosk, I was thinking probably a mac mini or ibook, something I can get used and cheap. The information to be accessed is not memory intensive and one machine should have plenty of computing power to handle four or five users.
Any Ideas? Or is there a non-Mac solution that is more easily accomplished?

Are you expecting all screens to show the same input?
Or are you expecting all screens to be independent - i.e. showing different content.
Biggest question of all - are you expecting each user to be able to interact with their screen (e.g. input a web form), independent of what the other screens are doing?
If the last one is true then stop right there - you can't have multiple independent inputs running at the same time - input from user 1 is just as likely to interact with the page on user 2's screen.
There's no simple way around this - the OS just isn't designed for it.
That's secondary to getting 5 screens running off a Mac Mini, which has no expansion card for additional displays. You'd be limited to USB-based screens, but I wouldn't want to run 4 of them off one machine.

Multiple iPods on one Mac

I'm a teacher at a music department at a small University. We have digitized our entire CD library to MP3's, and allow students to listen to MP3's at certain designated computers. We protect the MP3's, however, and do not allow students to download them to their own MP3 players, in order to protect copyright law.
We are considering purchasing iPod Touches for all of our students. What I would like to do have the students sync their iPods at a Mac in our department, and be able to put MP3 files from our library on their device.
On the Macs in question, the students already have to log in with their University ID, and then they can pull up iTunes and listen to MP3 files on the computer itself.
Is there going to be a problem with doing this? Can each student log into the same Mac, sync their iPod, and then go on their way?
Thanks,
Erin

Multiple selections to multiple layers or multiple files with one go ?

Hi,
how to convert multiple selections to multiple layers or multiple files with one go ?
Thanks!

I think there are Scripts about for the task or at least ones that could be adapted without too much problems.
The usual approach is, I think, creating a Work Path from a Selection and then using (expanded) Selections based on the individual subPathItems to intersect with the original selection.
Of course there are possibilities for bad results …

Photoshop crashes while using multiple windows with one image

Has anyone else encountered the following problem:
Photoshop CS4 crashes sooner or later when working with multiple windows with one image (window->arrange->new window for...).
I remember having same problem since CS2. Is this a bug in Photoshop or am I having a bad luck?
Technical specifics:
Ps CS4, iMac, 21.5, 10.6

Don't know. I haven't heard of other people having that problem.
Do you have a crash report I could look at?
Or have you attached your email to crash reports sent to Adobe and can you tell me the date on one of them?

Select or deselect multiple rows with one single selection event

Does anyone know how to create a JTable which can select or deselect multiple rows with one single selection event in JTable. Fore example, if the table has
row1
row2
row3
row4
row5
row6
What I need is when user select row1 or row2, both row1 and row2 should be set to be selected. Then if user press CTRL and click one of row3 or row4, both of them should be selected including the previouse selected row1 and row2.
For deselection, if row1 and row2 are selected, when users deselect one of row1 or row2, both of them should be deselected.
Hopefully someone can give me a hint.

Here is a partial solution using a JList. Only one line gets highlighted when the user makes a selection in the list. But, two lines are returned. There is a blank line between every two lines.
     private void addLineToList() {
          String a = f_one.getText();
          String b = f_two.getText();
          if (a.length() == 0) {
               Utils.showInformationMessage("Item field is empty.");
               f_one.requestFocusInWindow();
               return;
          if (b.length() == 0) {
               Utils.showInformationMessage("Match field is empty.");
               f_two.requestFocusInWindow();
               return;
          model.addElement("item: " + a);
          model.addElement("match: " + b);
          model.addElement(" ");
          int size = model.getSize();
          pairList.setSelectedIndex(size - 3);
          f_one.setText("");
          f_two.setText("");
          f_one.requestFocusInWindow();
     private void editList() {
          if (pairList.getSelectedValue().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(" ")) {
               Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
               f_one.requestFocusInWindow();
               return;
          if (!f_one.getText().equals("")) {
               int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,
               "The Item field contains text. Replace the text?",
               "Flash Card Activity", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
               OptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
               if (result == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) return;
          if (!f_two.getText().equals("")) {
               int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,

               "Flash Card Activity", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
               JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
               if (result == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) return;
          String item = "";
          String match = "";
          int index = pairList.getSelectedIndex();
          String choice = model.getElementAt(index).toString();
          if (choice.startsWith("item")) {
               item = choice;
               match = model.getElementAt(index + 1).toString();
               model.remove(index);
               model.remove(index);
               model.remove(index);

          if (size > 2) {

          f_one.setText(item.substring(6));

Household with one Mac, Multiple iOS Devices

So, We have One iMac 10.7.3, iTunes 10.5.3.; or rather we are buying our First iMac. Our iphones' have not been synched, No iCloud yet, etc. All info is on our iPhones, Pictures, Contacts, etc. Obviously there is information unique to each iPhone How does my wife sync her iPhone with her new i iTunes Library, Once she sets it up with iTunes. Since after booting up Virgin iMac the iTunes Library will be be empty. Could this cause the Empty iTunes Library to delete Songs, etc from the iphones.
Instead of having Multiple user Accounts, ie Home Folder; is it possible to have Multiple iTunes Accounts and Libraries?
I am sure this has been discussed before, etc. Just unable to find the correct info. Procedures and advice is greatly appreciated

If you sync to a blank computer, then the iphones will be erased.
Copy everything from the old computer(s) to the new one.

Can I backup multiple users on one mac with Personal Backup X5

Thinking of getting Personal Backup X5 by Intego. I have 4 users on my one mac and need to be able to back up each user's home directory. Does anyone have experience with this app? Can I do this? What do you think if PB X5?
Thanks

Thanks for the advise. I have used CCC before, but right now, I just want a backup solution to backup the home directories of each user on my single mac. I may someday need to clone my main disk, but right now I don't need that. I am using "Backup" now, but I have to log in as each user and run it from their account. I guess I would need to do this with whatever app I use, since some files are protected. Can SuperDuper just do this sort of thing? Can I copy from my account in some "root" mode, and copy the home directories of all my users (wife and kids)?
I downloaded a trial version of Personal Backup X5, but I can't figure out how much the actual app costs, and I don't want to spend too much, considering I can do most of what I need with "Backup", which I already have. I would consider $30 for SuperDuper if it could do the basic incremental backups, etc. I was ****** when I tried to install Personal Backup and it told me it required a re-boot. With 4 accounts logged in, it isn't a simple request.
Thanks for your help.

How do I create multiple TEBs with one submit button on one page in Captivate 7

I've read other posts on this topic (which refer primarily to earlier versions of Captivate) and am still at a loss as to how to put multiple text entry boxes on a page with one submit button. Here's my scenario:
I am creating test questions.
Each test question has multiple text entry boxes (for numbers only).
Student should be able to enter numbers into the textboxes in any order.
Then there is one Submit button that should initiate validating all the text entries, and move to a scoring page (so I can test it). (What would be best is if this button not only did the above, but also submitted scores to the LMS. But that is not my question at this time.)
I'd like this question to be set up as a template so that I can duplicate it, be able to add or delete text boxes and change the values required in the text boxes.
Here is an image of a sample question page with multiple TEBs. The yellow boxes tell the student where they need to enter text:
Any help or direction to help is appreciated!!

I think the problem here is that Arlhoolie wants all of the different TEBs to behave as if they were part of a single interaction that submits only ONE result to the quiz. Using multiple TEBs in Captivate means that you have multiple scored objects and therefore multiple results being submitted to the quiz.
If you want a single Success or Failure result submitted to the quiz based on the results from multiple interactive objects then there really is no simple way to do it. But you could try using the Infosemantics Interactive Master widget to combine all the TEBs as slave objects that report to the Master Widget, which then reports a single score to the quiz based on the results from the slave objects.
You can learn more about the Master widget here:

http://www.infosemantics.com.au/interactivemaster/help
You can download a free trial version of the widget here:

One caveat you should be aware of is that this widget is not HTML5 compatible.

Multiple tasks with one click

My work involves manually changing multiple lines to a different graphic style, and then moving that line to a different layer. As it is now, I am changing the graphic styles, choosing Select < Same < Fill & Stroke, and then moving the lines to the appropriate layer. I am wanting to know if there is a way to change the graphic style, and move the line to the different layer with one click. I'm ignorant when it comes to scripting, but was wondering if there are any scripts that would perform this function.

You need to fully explain the setup. Otherwise, people making suggestions are just guessing. Here's my suggestion, based on what little information you have provided:
You don't need a script for this; you can do it with a set of very simple Actions. Example:
Assume your repetitive task requires three Layers, named Red, Green, and Blue. On each Layer, all objects need to have the same Graphic Style applied.
1. New document. Create three Layers. Name them Red, Green, and Blue.
2. Define three Graphic Styles. Name them Red, Green, and Blue.
3. Draw an object (any object; a square, a line, whatever). Send it to Layer Red. In the Attributes Palette, type "Red" into its Note field. (This effectively "names" the object "Red".
4. Draw an object, Send it to Layer Green. Type "Green" in its Note.
5. Draw an object. Send it to Layer Blue. Type "Blue" in its Note.
6. Draw an object on Layer Red. Select it.
7. Actions Palette: New Action. Name the Action "Red." Set its color to red. Start recording:
7.1 Edit>Cut
7.2 Edit>PasteInFront
7.3 Apply Graphic Style Red
7.4 Stop recording.
8 Actions Palette: Select the Cut step. From the flyout menu select Select Object.... In the resulting dialog, enter "Red". OK the dialog. The Action should now have a new Set Selection step listed after the Cut step.
9. Actions Palette flyout menu: Button Mode.
Now you have an Action named Red that appears as a red button in the Actions palette. Select an object. Click the button. The object is moved to Layer Red, and gets Graphic Style Red.
10. Turn off Button Mode. Duplicate the Action. DoubleClick the duplicate. Change its name to Green and its color to green. Edit its Set Selection step to select the object named Green. Replace its Graphic Style step with a step that applies Graphic Style Green.
11. Similarly duplicate and edit one of the two Actions to create a Blue Action. Put the Actions palette back in Button Mode.
Now you can select any number of objects, and then move them to the Red, Green, or Blue Layer and apply the appropriate Graphic Style wiht one click.
Now come back and reveal the specifics of your actual situation which renders all that work moot.
