Need help stupid question

When I type any letter on my keyboard that has a tiny character on it also, I can't get the capital version when I hold down the shift key. Instead I get the little character. If I hit shift "p" I get an asterisk because there is a tiny little asterisk below the p. Is there a way to change this?

No matter what, without the *num lock* lit up, you should not be experiencing those results. Notice how that set of keys resembles a 10-key keypad, like an extended keyboard, hence the purpose of F6.
Have you installed any third party apps that do keyboard mapping?

    The answer to (1) is yes. for OSX, there hasn't yet been a full-number release (they're all v10). Point releases come out every couple years or so, and usually cost about $130. So if you had 10.4 and wanted to upgrade to 10.5, you'd have to buy it. But updated numbers after the second point are free. So if you have 10.5, then 10.5.5 is a free download.
    Question (2) I'm less sure about, but I would guess that all of those games would probably work. They don't list the particular video card in the Macbook as "Supported", but it's newer than the cards listed. All the other requirements are met.
    From the requirements listed, I would guess that "medal of honor war chest" is a PPC game, which means it will probably run on the Intel Macbook, but under emulation. I think usually the newer Intels are fast enough that running PPC stuff under emulation should be fine, but I don't do much of that so I can't speak from experience.
    I sometimes install Windows on a second partition on my Macs so I can dual boot, just for games. So there's that option too.

  • Need help - several questions

    The main problem: I have a computer that needs wireless connectivity. I do not want to use a wireless card, for a couple of reasons. One is sort of made obvious below, and the other is that I want to use the pci slot for something else anyway.
    The secondary, tertiary, etc. problem:
    1. I am using a wireless N router. I have been checking this site on occasion to see how I can improve its performance, and what I've done is make sure the firmware is up to date (but that was as of a couple of months ago), and make sure the antennae are bent/turned at different directions so they don't interfere with one another. I've also tried some of the modifications regarding beacon interval et al. (did nothing, so it's all back to defaults now, except it insists on only using channel 11 and I can't remember if it did that before) The problem is that I often lose my connection to the router. It's worse with one specific computer, which I'll explain about in a sec, but the problem also exists to a lesser extent with a powerbook.
    2. The powerbook is able to connect and maintain a decent connection only when the antennae on the router are set up such that they don't cancel each other out. It gets a poor signal when in the same room as the router, although I have read that this may be by design. We've got the router in the basement and use the laptop mostly in other rooms, so this isn't too big of a deal, but still, our B router outperforms the N router when it comes to the powerbook.
    3. The computer that has the worst problem is a desktop PC that is used for gaming and video editing. I move large files around with this machine, and I've found that very often, the wireless card ends up crashing. I've used both a linksys wireless-N card and a d-link one, and both have given me trouble, in two different computers that were used for the same purposes. In fact, I thought I had broken the linksys card because it started causing blue screens of death (this is why I replaced it with a d-link). I've noticed one correlation: the wireless card is more likely (although not guaranteed) to crash if I use the microwave or if I've moved around several gigabytes' worth of files (*especially* if I try to upload and download at the same time). Yes, I know that microwaves are bad for wireless networks, but our B cards and routers never had a problem with it (we had robustness settings turned on). But now, I seem to have roasted the d-link card, as well. It's causing hardlocks and the system can't always boot up. The card randomly stops responding. What I want to know is if I can actually burn out cards this way. I'm thinking that maybe they try to use too much power to overcome both the microwave's interference and the utter crappiness of the router. After the card crashed again today, I immediately powered down and pulled the card out, and it was burning hot. I had noticed the same with the linksys card before, after it started blue screening... (and I'm 100% certain it was the linksys card causing the BSODs as I analyzed the core dump with one of Microsoft's tools, and what came up was the broadcom driver)
    3. I've decided to buy a wireless bridge and hook it up to this computer's built-in ethernet port. What I want to know is: Will I burn out the bridge? Or does it stand a better chance? Also, can a bridge work this way, or does it need to be hooked up to a router? (if so, no prob - I have a spare router) The bridge I've ordered is the Linksys one (not sure but I think there may only be one), and it runs at G speeds. Will this be an issue?
    I also want to know if I can cause any damage to other components in my system what with two wireless cards having burned out. The first card started giving problems in one computer, but then when I got the new one, I transferred it over to the new computer, out of curiosity to see if it would work. It didn't, so that is when I got the D-link. The D-link worked fine for a little while, but now I seem to be headed right down the same path I headed down with the Linksys, with the same initial hardlocking symptoms (I bet if I wait long enough, the D-link will start blue screening too).
    Last but not least, I'm ripping my hair out over this connectivity problem. I'm thinking of firing up my old B router, despite its lack of decent security, and going with that. At least that router works perfectly, even at 7 years of age. I may still use this stupidly expensive N router, but only as a router (not a wireless access point). I apologize for sounding frustrated, but I consider myself a bit of a seasoned wireless network user, having successfully set up and used a wireless-B network for years. It was only after we got this wireless-N equipment that everything made me feel like a total noob again.
    Can anyone suggest *anything* that might help, now that you know the background?
    Oh and one more thing, before someone asks: yes, we have wireless phones. They run at 5ghz.

    1) Here's the thing. To the best of my knowledge, while Premiere can successfully ingest several kinds of color space videos, most of it's processing is done only in RGB mode. I found this out when some colors from DV source changed on me as soon as I added most any effect, whether or not I changed any of that effect's parameters. Simply adding the effect changed the color space Premiere was working in from the native YUV of DV to RGB. That change in color space caused the color shift, and nothing I did would bring it back.
    The point here is that if any affects are added to your video, Premiere has probably already shifted to the RGB color space, so you may as well keep it that way for export, rather than shifting it back to YUV causing further degradation.
    2) Leave it off.
    3) For your source, you can probably just leave it at 8.
    4) Turn off Optimize Stills. That setting can cause issues.
    5) No. Interleave is just combining the video and audio.
    6) Dude, this is Video 101 stuff. How does someone working with your source not know this already?

  • Need help  - Ethernet question for DSL

    Hi, hoping someone can help me. We are looking into getting Verizon DSL internet, and don't know if we have the Ethernet specifications. We have a flat screen 17" iMac 1Ghz, Dh said he knows we have an ethernet connection but doesn't know about the card. What Verizon says we need is a "10-Base-T Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)". How would I find out if we have this? (We are not eligible for the 24hr online chat support and I don't want to pay $49+ for one question)! Thanks,
    Erica

    Tom & Erica,
    You should have very little trouble connecting with Verizon. I have multiple Verizon accounts and they have always been very helpful in getting you set up, even if they need to come out to test/adjust the line-in to your home. You will get a package from them which will include DSL modem, filters, cables and so on.
    Don't hesitate to call them for help in setting it up - BUT, tell them at your first opportunity that you are running on a Mac. They will switch you immediately to a Mac person who can walk you thru just about any OS configuration.
    And no I don't work for Verizon...Just Kidding
    GOOD LUCK
    John
    Oh, of course you will want to call Verizon and have them test the line prior to/or at the time of your order. They can do that while you are on the line with them and at no charge.

  • Need help with question about Microsoft Excel?

    I have recently begun using Microsoft Office for Mac. My question is related to the Excel program. I have used this for years on a PC where when the program opens, it shows a Workbook with a single page. However, on the Mac, when it opens, it shows many pages, the first going from column A to G, the second going from H to N, etc. and each page with the text "Click to add data". This continues forever. I would like to have just one sheet as on the PC. I have not found a way to limit this view to a single page. I have looked in the Preferences and in "View", but nothing seems to change the configuration. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    My zoom only shows the magnification and does not give a "one page" option. However, I did find an icon that I loaded into the menu bar which gives the one page view. This may be due to the version 2004 that I am using.
    I also find that if I want to change the number of columns and rows, I change the size of each. I assume this is correct.
    Thanks for the help. This is slightly different that the PC version, but I am sure over time, there will be no problem.

  • Need help with question about upgrading phone

    Okay, so, here's what's going on:
    I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
    It's dying/freezing/battery life is terrible. Looking to upgrade.
    I don't have an upgrade available for my line, but my wife does.
    She's giving me permission to use hers, which a Verizon rep told me is fine.
    I want to use her upgrade to get a Samsung Galaxy Note II.
    The best price (subsidized) right now is on Dell's site ($169.99), which I could price-match at Best Buy (employee confirmed this). However, it's still a little high for me.
    I could get a better price by adding a line with this device - shave off $40 ($129.99).
    So here's my question: is there any way to add a line, get some immediate savings on the purchase, then immediately cancel the line (maybe only taking a little bit of a hit, getting most of the cost reimbursed for not using it)? In other words, how can I get this phone as cheap as possible?
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    If you add a line as you suggest, that new line will come with a 2 year (24 month) contract for service that will have a $350 Early Termination Fee (ETF) if you cancel the line immediately like you indicated.  There goes the thought of getting the Note II for the cheaper than the upgrade price.
    I recommend going with the price match upgrade @ $169.99 at Best Buy.  I can confirm they do the price match.  I bought my last phone from Best Buy and they matched the Radio Shack price I brought them and  I had a good experience.
    Good luck.

  • Need help with question about indesign 2014...

    Yes. Your documents will be unaffected by any new versions you install unless you open them in the new version and save them with the same name, then you will lose the ability to open them again in the old version.

  • Need Help -- multi-question

    Wow, this software is incredibly difficult to use -- but I need it to manage access for my daughter.
    1) I'm not sure how I did this, but I can access HND only through Network Magic.  I paid for my service and cannot find how to launch HND and/or how to install without installing the **bleep** anti-virus software.  All I want is HND
    2) How do I set up a rule so I allow my daughter access from 7 am to 9 pm on weekdays and 7 am to 10:30 on weekends? Right now, I have one rule and and only one time window.  I have RTFM and I can't find out how to do this.  I'm also an "expert" at this and not a newb, so I trolled the internet sites, RTFM, check the support and nothing.
    3) How do I change the email registered to HMD.  I originally set it up through my wife's email account, but need to swtich it back as my daugther has access to my wife's email and keeps changing the settings.
    4) How to I get **bleep** reports.  I've set this up several times and no reports are coming in.
    Thank you in advance!! And, sorry for my frustration as I don't think it's normal to spend 12 hours figuring this out.

    The simplest way is using the rendered attribute such as:

    </h:panelGrid>
    <h:panelGrid rendered="#{! foo.bar}" >

  • I need help putting Classical Music CDs into iTunes

    I need help - this question has lots of subquestions, sorry.
    I have found just a few discussions that deal with this but I am still confused. Forgive me if I get wordy and misuse technical terms - I am trying to learn this thing...
    I'm an iPod newbie and haven't a clue on the best way to organize my many, many classical CDs that I'd like to put onto my iPod Classic 160G. I'd also like to do this with as little fussing around as possible since there are lots of CDs I've got to deal with.
    If each CD is a separate entry [album?] in the playlist and titled with composer name first [ex Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, Titov conductor] I'll have several playlist entries with the same titles, but different contents. No problem really.
    But, should I separate it further, by having each concerto [say] be a separate entry in the playlist - without having to download the CD again. [I've just practiced on a few CDs but I imagine it being a problem if I had to download each CD several times - once for each work] Does it make sense to leave gaps between movements? [I'm not finding a way to remove gaps, though I have seen that suggested somewhere]
    And when I come to play the pieces, if I start playing a work in a playlist, will the iPod keep going from one movement to the next as it makes its way through the playlist - or will it stop at each movement and wait for me to tell it what to do next?
    Advanced Settings - are these the best? I'll be listening to music on an airplane using noise cancelling headphones and at destination attaching iPod to portable speakers to listen to music in hotel rooms.
    General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized - unchecked? [not sure what this means or does or doesn't do]
    Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library - checked?
    Importing: AAC encoder? High quality -128 kbps?
    Thanks for all your help - I know this is a multiple set of questions and perhaps should have been broken up...

    Message was edited by: Mrs H

    Thank you so much for your help. You have sorted out a lot of problems for me. I've tried to go through what you wrote, add some more info and I have asked a few more questions below-
    I re-ripped at 256. I too have the 160GB classic so it's good to know that it will take 10,000 tracks as lossless - now I have to re-rip again! I actually hadn't anticipated using the iPod with anything other than our high quality noise canceling airplane headphones, our cheap, portable travel speakers for hotel rooms and our Cambridge sound speakers for our cabin. It's that last set of speakers that makes me think I should follow you advice and go with lossless.
    QUESTION #1 - When I re-rip and do an automatic sync, will the tracks at 256 automatically be replaced by the bigger lossless ones with the same name or should I delete everything from the iPod and begin anew?
    "I create a playlist for each work, using a systematic naming convention..." What I did on my test was create a playlist for each composer breaking it down - ex- Bach:concertos, Bach:sonatas, etc. I have the Album column highlighted and it appears as if the movements stay together in the correct order. I fear that the task might be too large to create a playlist for each work, though that certainly is appealing.
    QUESTION #2 If the Album column is highlighted and the movements are in the correct order in iTunes in the playlist, will they stay that way in the iPod?
    "I tend to use just surnames for composers for example, or at least "surname, firstname"." I finally found in settings on the iPod the way to change sort by composer to last name, first name. In iTunes, the composer column which is imported from the internet search for info on the CDs gives composer with first name first and I can't find a place in iTunes to reverse this. Typing it or erasing the first name will be a huge chore.
    QUESTION #3 Is there a place in iTunes to change the order of the composers' name in the composer column?
    "For compilations etc I still create one for the whole CD or box set"
    I figured this out on my own before you corroborated my idea - I think I'm getting the hang of this...
    "The option iTunes has to "organise your music" is a good one"
    QUESTION #4 - are you referring to the preferences > advanced check box "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" ? If not, what are you referring to?
    "I have my library in its own dedicated disk. Wherever you put it, its important to then never change it or doing anything else with it: leave it for iTunes."
    QUESTION #5 "dedicated disk"? as in hard drive? I have been using SuperDuper to back up my Mac to an external HD; I plan to put a copy of the iTunes folder onto yet another HD where I keep copies of all our photos as well.
    "never change it"? I noticed a misspelling "Haendel" from the on-line CD/track info - no problem in fixing that - right? Since you later say you do change info, what is it you are never changing?
    QUESTION #6 - "Disk N of M capability" - what? Where do I find this option? And when you say "for multiple CD albums, don't include the cd number in the album name." Where? when you put the CD into a playlist entry? or just in the list of music in the album column - do you change the listing?
    ONE FINAL QUESTION - when I turn on the iPod when it's not attached to headphones or speakers, and I'm just looking at the screen to see settings or how the syncing worked, the iPod appears to begin playing something as soon as I turn it on. THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION, but I can't find the answer, how to I get it to stop playing without turning the iPod itself off???
    "I hope that helps a little. " A little?? It helps a lot - and I'll award those points as soon as I get it all resolved.
    Thanks again,
    Mrs H

  • Need help with java

    ok so i have a midterm and need help this question that is gonna be on the midterm. i dont know how to do it and its worth 16 marks!!!! here it is
    the UW Orchestra wants to produce a CD containing all the pieces of music
    from its upcoming concert. In order to do that, it needs to calculate the total length of time for the
    CD. In addition, the conductor wishes to know which piece of music has the longest duration.
    Sample output for the program.
    The Swan (3.88)
    The Bee (0.98)
    Claire de Lune (6.02)
    Liebesfreund (3.38)
    Ragtime (3.48)
    The total time for the CD is 18.74 minutes.
    The longest piece is Claire de Lune.
    Do not include the HTML that is required to embed the program into a Web page (that is, show
    only what you would write between <script> and </script> tags).
    [4 marks] In the following space, define a function, Print, that takes two parameters, Title and
    Length, and outputs a line of text such that Title appears in italics, followed by Length in
    parentheses. The function also returns the value of Length.
    For example, Print("My World",30) will output the line
    My World (30)
    and return the value 30.
    Put your JavaScript program for the remainder of this question in the space provided on the next
    two pages.
    [9 marks]. For each piece of music, your program should input the title of the piece and the
    duration (in minutes) for that piece, and it should output a line showing those values using the
    Print function just defined. After all pieces have been listed, the program should output the
    total length of time for the CD, adding in 0.25 minutes between each piece of music (which is
    needed on the CD to separate the pieces).
    [3 marks] The program should also output the name of the piece that has the longest playing
    time.
    Use reasonable variable names, indentation and good programming style. Documentation and
    comments are not required, but you may add them to explain any assumptions you might want to
    make. You need not check that the input is valid, and you may assume that no two pieces have the
    same duration.
    can anyone help me out! i would be indebt of ur kindness if u can help me out!

    This forum is for Java, not JavaScript. The two have nothing to do with each other.
    And anyway, this is your studying, so you should try to do it, put forth your best effort, and ask specific questions (on the proper fourm).

    Thanks. Now that is clarified, I can see from the documentation:
    The name parameter is a resource name as defined by Class.getResourceAsStream(name) . The rules for resolving resource names are defined in the Application Resource Files section of the java.lang package documentation.
    So it's not a file name. The string you pass must be findable via the classpath.
    So, if C:\images is included in your classpath (which you'll need to do for this example), then just use "/pike.jpg" and have that file live in the images directory only.

Maybe you are looking for
