I am fairly new to using Mac computers, I would like to know how to uninstall drivers, software and other things I might install on my computer. With a PC it's really easy, you just go to the control panel.

On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

Click on the Hot Corners.. button and look at the four definitions. In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop. Set it to "-" to deactivate.

Make sure your Mac is running iTunes version 11.

When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

Thanks If anyone can help me.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

HT201364 i have all the requirements except 8gb of available space. my mac only has 4gb capacity.is there any way to get a smaller version of the mavericks software?

I have all the requirements except8gb of available space. my mac only has 4gb capacity.is there any way to get a smaller version of the mavericks software?

That refers to free disk space, not RAM. If your computer has 4GB of RAM, that's enough. If it only has 4GB of free disk space, you need to delete content from the internal drive; for best results, free up at least 20GB.

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

How: Using the same control panel for multiple vi and propogating changes to the control panel.

I have created a labview project that contains about 40 vi. Each vi has a control panel in common that is a group of ip address, or port address, and settings that are passed from high level vi to low level vi for the purposes of controlling and accessing our daq cards. As this control panel exist in all vi's and is required to be identical there is a problem when needing make a change or update the controls during development. The problem is how much time it takes to go and change every single vi's control panel. I wish to have a way of propogating a change in the control panel across all vi simultaneously.
All control in the control panel are in a bundle, so all values are passed in 1 wire.
I tried turning the control panel into a sub vi, and this way I can just "create control" and have outputs of the vi maniuplate settings, however if I update the vi, I still have to go back and create a new control for each vi as the control has changed.
I have tried using the subpanel and creating the control panel in a sub vi that is displayed in the subpanel, but this gives the unwanted consequence of not being able to view or change settings on the control panel if the program is not running, as subpanels blank out when the program is not running.
Is there another way to dispaly a subvi's front panel beside using a sub panel? Is there a better way to propogate changes in a bundle throughout a series of vi?

Yes a type def would help you out and I'd take the next step to make it a strict type def if you want the appearence to be the same across all of its instances. You can also review this Nugget on Type definitions for more idea on this topic.
Have fun,

CS4 - In InDesign can I change the Control Panel????

I have recently upgraded to InDesign CS4 and I'm finding that my Control Panel does not match the one I used in CS3. Is there a way of adding tools to the Control Panel? Or changing the Control Panel?
For example when I have text selected the Character Formating Controls offer: font, font size, leading, some options like superscript & subscript, alignment, indents, space before & after, drop cap, bullet list & number list. When I switch over to the Paragraph Formating Controls I get the exact same items just in reverse order. How do I add kerning, horizontal scale, the hyphenation box, and more. I'm noticing similar issues when I have an object selected, where is my "fit frame to" options?
It seems with CS3 I had so much more available, is there any way to get CS4 to be set up in the same way?

More options appear on the Control panel if you choose the Advanced workspace instead of Essentials. Choose Window > Workspace > Advanced.

Open "Java Preferences" either from spotlight or your utilities folder...it's probably going to say you need to install a java runtime. Then just click install!

HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
Do I have to buy a new scanner? It seems so close to working correctly.
I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
Thanks

The hyperlink in the control panel has disapeared did I inadvertanly turned an option off??

The hyperlink in the control panel has disapeared. It was there yesterday but today it is gone. Did I inadvertanly turned an option off??

Thank you for the response, I found that out and it indeed, returned the hyperlink option to the control panel. However I still am unable to “see” my child pages in either Preview or Preview Page in Browser. They are visible in the Plan Mode.
Thanks again.
