Need help in reassigning 'fn' key to be a command [apple] key

Hi everyone,
I have a Japanese keyboard-ed Powerbook 12". I would like to reassign the fn key to function as a command/apple key, primarily for web browsing. I tried adding a keyboard shortcut just for Safari but it wouldn't work and I am ont sure what I am doing wrong.
The Japanese keyboards only have one command/apple key (on the left side), and it would be nice to have one on the right side instead (close to the arrow keys).
FYI, the keyboard layout on the right side is currently:
[kana-switch to JP key] [fn] [enter] [arrow keys]
Thanks for any help!!

Hi Nate --
I'm not certain (in fact, the more I look at it I kind of doubt it), but maybe DoubleCommand might help you do what you want, or at least something approximating that.
I'll keep looking, but it's the best I can come up with right now.

Need HELP with JetDirect 500x - I'm New to this Apple Thing!

Hello. I am very new to Apple. I have been using PC's for years and I am over them. I am slowly trying to understand the differences and where to begin. I need help getting my printers setup with a JetDirect Box. Here is what I have.
HP JetDirect 500x, with a dedicated IP address of 192.168.10.2, which is DHCP assigned by my wireless router. Connected to Port1 is a HP OfficeJet R40; Connected to port 2 is a HP Deskjet 9800.
It appears that the drivers for both printers are built into OS 10.6.3.
How do I set these bad boys up? I found one article where someone was doing something similar to me but I tried what he did and had no success.
Here is what I tired in the Add Printer Dialog box:
Protocol: HP JetDirect - Socket
Address: 192.168.10.2:1 -or- http://192.168.10.2/ipp/port1
I also tried Port 2. No luck.
Please help. I am trying hard to get there. Thanks

Welcome!
The HP web site shows Mac drivers for up to 10.6 for the 9800 but no Mac drivers at all for the Deskjet 500. Only Windoze and Linux drivers listed for that one.
I hope someone can jump is with a comment on the Mac compatibility of the JetDirect print server. We tried for years to get one to connect multiple printers at work and eventually threw in the towel. Maybe the newer ones are better, but I noticed the HP site recommends using USB printer sharing if it is necessary to network a 9800 on Macs. Could be a clue. You might need to contact HP support to find out if the JetDirect is Snow Leopard compatible.
The last two printers we bought for our home network--a Brother 5250N b/w laser and an HP PhotoSmart C6280--were bought because they came with ethernet ports. They were a cinch to set up on the wired network and service six Macs, two via the wireless router and four on the wire.

My Enter key thinks it's an Apple key - help!

Hi all - my MBP has recently decided that the Enter key (between the rightside Apple key and left-arrow) will behave as another Apple key. I've plugged in a USB keyboard - same behaviour. The Keyboard Viewer confirms the key is being pressed but doesn't explain why I can hit Enter-Q to quit apps.
I've searched around in vain and must be missing something basic. Is this fixable? Is there a pref to trash? Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
Martin

Not sure how that's happened, but it's easy enough to fix; download Double Command -- it'll add a new prefs pane which gives you lots of key remapping options.

Need help on how to code this SQL statement! (one key has leading zeros)

Good day, everyone!
First of all, I apologize if this isn't the best forum. I thought of putting it in the SAP Oracle database forum, but the messages there seemed to be geared outside of ABAP SELECTs and programming. Here's my question:
I would like to join the tables FMIFIIT and AUFK. The INNER JOIN will be done between FMIFIIT's MEASURE (Funded Program) field, which is char(24), and AUFK's AUFNR (Order Number) field, which is char(12).
The problem I'm having is this: All of the values in AUFNR are preceeded by two zeros. For example, if I have a MEASURE value of '5200000017', the corresponding value in AUFNR is '005200000017'. Because I have my SQL statement coded to just match the two fields, I obviously get no records returned because, I assume, of those leading zeros.
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of experience coding SQL, so I'm not sure how to resolve this.
Please help! As always, I will award points to ALL helpful responses!
Thanks!!
Dave

You can't do a join like this in SAP's open SQL. You could do it in real SQL ie EXEC.... ENDEXEC by using SUSBTR to strip off the leading zeros from AUFNR but this would not be a good idea because a) modifying a column in the WHERE clause will stop any index on that column being used and b) using real SQL rather than open SQL is really not something that should be encouraged for database portability reasons etc.
Forget about a database join and do it in two stages; get your AUFK data into an itab, strip off the leading zeros, and then use FAE to get the FMIFIIT data (or do it the other way round).
I do hope you've got an index on your FMIFIIT MEASURE field (we don't have one here); otherwise your SELECT could be slow if the table holds a lot of data.

Need Help. Never could view movie on my new Apple TV

Christmas gift of Apple TV has been very disappointing. It appears our DSL Download spead is less than desireable for an Apple TV, however I started downloaded a movie - waiting 6 hours and went to bed. Movie was ready the next afternoon, we sat down to start watching it - I know I have 24 hours from the start of watching a movie to finish it - however I paused it - and hit rewind within the first 3 minutes and the movie was then no longer available for viewing. I had to download all over again. After waiting another 4 plus hours - it was too late to start watching the movie again as it still showed another 6 hours remaining to downloaded. I can stream NETFLIX with no problem - but could never get the movie from ITUNES to download. We left town for 1 day to visit family during the holiday - was so looking forward to a quite house and movie night - all to find the movie was no longer available. I was charged only once - but never was able to watch the movie. What options do I have?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix uses an adaptive format, i.e. it varies it's quality according to connection speed and can go as low as 0.5 Mbps, although it won't look too good.
You have two options:
You can download to iTunes on your computer, it likely won't download any quicker, but it will stay there and so don't need to worry about stopping the movie in the middle (movies downloaded to the computer will need to be fully downloaded before they will stream to the Apple TV).
You could also switch to SD (settings > general > iTunes Store), your movies will download more quickly if you do this.

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

Need help exporting thumbnails (jpeg files are empty)

Hello,
I'm having problems loading photos from my thumbnails in iPhoto. If I try to load a photo nothing happens, even after several minutes. My library has around 500 images, so I can't imagine it would take very long to load.
If I try to export a photo it just creates an empty jpeg file. I can get data on the photo (ie size, width, height) from inside iPhoto, but the actual jpeg file appears empty. So, is there anyway to export just the thumbnail? I'd rather have a smaller image of the original than nothing at all.
Regards,
Rob
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPhoto 5.0.4

however, during this process I got the following error message for many of the photos:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain data).
Hello Rob,
this message means that you have this image in your library already, it prevents from duplicate.
The simplest way I found to solve this type of issue is to choose a picture that does not show up, but were you can see the thumbnail. Check the name (so called tittle) of the picture in iPhoto via info and find it on the drive via finder "apple-F" key combination (or menu edit/find/find).
1 - you find it under your iPhoto Library tree folder
1-1 - try to find out if folders names (iPhoto Library/2006/07/10/...which means : iPhoto Library/"year"/"month"/"day") has been changed. If no change has been done with finder, drag (do not copy) this pict out on desktop or other folder you can use, then drag it back in iPhoto window (not in finder folder), it should go back in the correct folder under iPhoto Library and show up again in full size.
check it first for several picts, if you find that all your picts are with the same problem you can consider taking all your picts out with finder and drag them back in iPhoto window
1-2 - you could also consider to repair your library by starting iPhoto holding down command-apple keys, but I have never tried it.
2 - your pict is NOT in iPhoto Library folder BUT on your drive, drag it back in iPhoto window, not in finder folder directly. It should show up in the correct location in iPhoto. You may have 2 thumbnails with same name in iPhoto window, just delete the one where you can't see full size pict.
this is unlikely to be the case from my point of view
3- your pict is not anymore on your drive... Somebody must have erased it directly from folder, meaning messing up directly in iPhoto library folder. Then check again 1-1.
this is unlikely to be the case from my point of view
You see the thumbnails because iPhoto it is a database that create thumbnails when importing pict, and they will last until you delete your pict within iPhoto. iPhoto refreshes it's database at that time. By doing things directly under finder just does not allow iPhoto database to be "aware" of what you are doing... so it cannot refresh it correctly. Then it messes up the complete stuff.
Hope this can help you, if not please post back an answer,
Best regards,

HT3069 Hi need help renting, Italian movies via my Apple TV (currently Australia Settings).

Hi All,
Need help with renting a movie/tv show on my Apple TV, in a different country.
I have tried to change the setting on my Apple TV but when I proceeded to rent a movie, it told me I needed to set up an itunes account?
I already have one in English/Australia isnt the sufficent ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Cheers
Anthony

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.
