Need to get Keyboard Controls Back
Forum;
I've been using PhotoShop since 2.0 in the early 90's, and I've never seen an upgrade as problematic as CS5. I decided pretty quickly after installing the CS5 package nearly a year ago that I would be better of staying with PS CS3, which was more stable. I've starting trying to get accustomed to PS CS5 again recently and am experiencing the same frustrations I was encountering before, having my progress interupted with some out-of-the-blue weirdness and having to spend untold amounts of time figuring out what the H it's doing this time. The problem this morning is that all my key controls seem to have mysteriously been disabled. I'm talking about those controls where holding the shift key down activates the grabber tool for moving the image around in the viewport. Or holding the shift + command keys to activate the zoom function. I need these and they've just decided to vanish. I've reset my preferences, which didn't work, except to cause me to rebuild my workspace.
Would someone please tell me how to get this functionality back?
Apologies for my frustrtation. Thanks much.
Cayce
except to cause me to rebuild my workspace.
So you have never saved your workspace?
figuring out what the H it's doing this time.
Consulting the Help might help.
Check out »Temporarily zoom an image« under »Viewing images«:
holding the shift key down activates the grabber tool for moving the image around
Do you mean the spring-loaded Hand Tool? You could try the spacebar.
holding the shift + command keys to activate the zoom function
command-spacebar

I need to get Keyboard input as well as mouse input on a JButton
I need to get Keyboard input as well as mouse input on a JButton
I have attempted to implement KeyListener. I get the keyCode but I need it to go in to the same String variable as my Actionlistener section.Here is the code I have trouble with getting keyboard input as wells as mouse input into the same variable.
public class Calctester extends JFrame
implements ActionListener, KeyListener
private double var1, var2;//var1 and var2 are used to perform calculation
String operand1 = "";//takes first input until an operator is pressed
String operand2 = "";//takes input after operator is invoked
double result;//is used to store the result
boolean flag = false;//to signal operator pressed
boolean decimalFlag = false;//to signal decimal pressed
String stringInput;//used as a temporary store for all entry to allow for conditions to be evaluated
char ch; //used to store the operator for comparison//Reason is pre does not compare using string
String pre = "";//used to store the operator
double mem; //will hold memory operation values
double vMod; //Temporary store for var2 to be used with percent operations
//Creates buttons

Watching a video; how do I get the controls back up?
When I am watching a video; how do I get the controls back up?
I touch and touch the screen, sometimes hard, sometimes soft, sometimes sweeping etc; nothing happens.
If it double-tap, the video expands and contracts, but no controls appear.
If it hit the home button, it closes the video and goes to the home screen.A single tap when the video is running should bring up the controls. You may have to wait a few seconds. If this doesn't work, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I have three websites as my homepage, but often once I have worked within one tab for awhile and gone to other sites, I need to get back to the site that is there when my homepage tabs first pop up. I may not have even touched the other two tabs, but if I click on the Home button, I get three new tabs with the three websites that make up my homepage. I then have to delete three tabs to keep just what I want. In IE, the Home button has a pulldown, which allows me to select any one of my homepage websites, and loads that site on the current tab. Can this be done with FF?
The only way I know to achieve this would be to create three separate bookmarks on the Bookmarks toolbar and click on a one that you want to load in the current tab. You can also try to right-click the Back arrow and click the entry at the bottom of the list to return to the first page.

Help: I have a very well defined folder structure. Folder are located in a Master location and organized by State. Inside of these are my master RAW file folders organized by location. For example: West Virginia > BIRI_RAW_2012, BLFA_RAW_2013, NERI_RAW_2013, etc. After I set up the masterful following a shoot, I go to LR and import the images. At one time I inadvertently imported the NERI_RAW_2013 masterful set as a subset of something else and it was not appearing in my LR Module in the organization I prefer. So I went to my master folders on my drive and moved the NERI file into the West Virginia state folder. When I went back to LR, as expected the NERI folder was grey with a question mark. So I right clicked to find the files and relink, and it did not work. The folder name disappeared. The RAW files are still in the catalog and show up in a missing photos search. I can't reimport because they are already there. I just need to restore my folder structure and get the images back to the right spot.
So I right clicked to find the files and relink, and it did not work. The folder name disappeared.
It didn't disappear, it moved (because you told Lightroom to move it). It moved from the incorrect folder location, to the new folder location. Please look in the new folder, in whatever location it is in, not in the old folder and the old location, and you will find the photos. -
I need to get the movies back to APPLE TV and off my computer
So I finally, after 6 months get the ATV to finally show up and work in my Itunes, only by connecting it directly to my computer via ethernet. But instead of transferring the TV shows from my computer to the apple tv, the ATV moves all of its content to my Mac computer leaving me with a whopping 246MB left on my hard drive.
Why did my shows not transfer to the ATV, because apparently ITUNES couldn't connect to the internet to verify I owned them. Why could it not connect to the internet? Because the ATV was plugged into the Ethernet. And Why was the ATV plugged into the Ethernet, because it won't connect any other way via the wireless network we have set up for whatever reason.
Here is my immediate dilemma, I have ATV movies and shows clogging up my computer. I would love to delete them, but the ATV literally removed them from itself.
How do I get my stuff back on to the ATV? Somebody, please anybody, help.Why did my shows not transfer to the ATV, because apparently ITUNES couldn't connect to the internet to verify I owned them. Why could it not connect to the internet? Because the ATV was plugged into the Ethernet. And Why was the ATV plugged into the Ethernet, because it won't connect any other way via the wireless network we have set up for whatever reason.
how much space do you have on your appleTV? maybe you don't have any space left to put those shows from your computer... how do you have syncing set up on your computer?
Here is my immediate dilemma, I have ATV movies and shows clogging up my computer. I would love to delete them, but the ATV literally removed them from itself.
this is actually how it is supposed to work... the files on your computer are meant to be the masters and you appleTV syncs with these... not the other way around. if you buy something via your appleTV it gets pushed back back to your computer.
the appleTV is not meant to act as external storage or backup... there is no easy way to get files off of your appleTV if the drive on your computer fails.. there is no way to backup files if you only store them on your appleTV.. if the drive fails on your appleTV or you experience trouble on your appleTV and are forced to do a restore... BOOM! you just lost everything on you appleTV.
unless you can afford to loose all of your media files via a drive failure... you need a backup strategy... store your files on a 'working' drive on you computer and use time machine to backup to backup drive. only use appleTV to temporarily store media files that you want available when you computer is off... that's all it's meant for. -

I have the adjustments, etc. on the left side of the screen. The picture is on the far right side of the screen. The middle of the screen is all black.How do I get the picture back in the middle of the acreen. I believe I must have hit a button that moved the picture to the far right.
On the Mac......
Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
Then.....very important
Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start up the Time Capsule next the same way

Hard drive crash, need to get ipod songs back onto itunes
i'm a bit computer illiterate and need step by step instructions for how to connect my ipod without losing everything. if you've done this before and you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
i downloaded senuti but i don't know what to do from here...Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive -
Reinstalled iTunes and need to get music files back on
Hi Everybody.
Basically, I had to reinstall my iTunes software after my ipod broke and they gave me a new one. I am running iTunes 4 I think, because for some reason it is the only on that wants to work on our computer.
The new iPod is working fine, and so is iTunes, but our music files didn't come back up automatically and I need some advice for getting them back on itunes. I've played with it a bit, but I didn't want to go clicking and dragging a bunch of folders to where they might not belong.
Thanks, if you can offer me any help it will be much appreciated. SeanHowever, all signs point to "I erased all my itunes music files."
Bummer
is there anything else to try or is my music gone?
Do you still have all or most or some of your music on the iPod? If so:
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
Extremely Simple & Free Method: (just to recover the song files – may not work on a Mac)
1 - Open iTunes
2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
2c --- Click OK to store changes
3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
5 - Within iTunes: Edit=>Preferences=>’iPod’ tab: switch iPod to manual transfer – click ‘OK’
6 – Eject iPod
7 – Close iTunes, then reopen iTunes and attach the iPod (it’s in manual sync now)
8 – File=>Add Folder
9 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod (or the lower ‘\iPod_Control’ sub-folder)
10 - Click OK
-- The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes with its correct information
–-- This will take some time depending on your PC’s speed and the amount of songs on the iPod
No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, & Play Count attributes will be transferred from the iPod to iTunes using this method.
If you have problems with seeing the iPod within 'My Computer', try again switching your update method to 'manual', detach the iPod, then reconnect the iPod to the PC.
After recovering your Library, strongly consider developing a thorough and frequent backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?
Here is a post on developing a thorough backup strategy:

Need Help Getting RealPlayer to Back Off!
Previously all my video clips were stored with a QuickTime icon on them... and when I clicked on them to view --they ran thru QT. But somehow/somewhere RealPlayer has TAKEN OVER all my video clips (which now appears as a white blank page of an icon) and when I click them to play them --they play thru RealPlayer.
That wouldn't be so bad but, RealPlayer (at least the free version I have) won't "loop" the video clips. I spent nearly an hour today texting with a RealPlayer tech to find that out!
SO, does ANYONE know how to make QuickTime the 'ranking' player of my video clips again, like it used to be?
Some setting must have changed somewhere, and I'd like to set it back the way it was before.[Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291?viewlocale=en_US]
*Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind*
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

Help, need to get deleted items back.
I have items purchased through the iTunes store that were accidentally deleted, how do I get them back? They were fully downloaded so I can't "Check for Purchases", they just got deleted and they shouldn't have. Some of them were deleted by someone who didn't know what they were doing, and some were deleted by children smashing the keyboard and hitting the delete button. They aren't in the trash bin and I can't find any way to get them back! Do I have to buy them again?
Since you purchased it off iTunes then use the iPod + iTunes "transfer purchases" feature. Plug your iPod in and iTunes (it has to be iTunes 7.0 or higher) and iTunes should ask you immediately. Or you can option click on the iPod in the source list and click on transfer purchases. Of course, I'm assuming that you have an iPod. And for preventing future accidents like this I recommend activating "require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver." This option is in System Preferences>Security. Of course you'll also have to activate screen saver or automatic sleep after x amount of minutes.
