Network pane is missing features like dhcp button

Hi,
I originally posted this in the Airport forum, but now I think it may be an OS problem instead
I have a semi wireless network with an Airport Extreme base station and an Airport express. My G4 dual 450 is connected to the base station with an ethernet cable (no airport card in this part).
All the rest of the network is up and running, but the G4 acts as though it is not plugged in. My network status pane says so!
I bought a new ethernet cable (prematurely) and when that didn't work, I took my PB and turned off it's airport card and plugged it into the base station and it worked.
So I'm suspecting my system on the G4. It's Built-in Ethernet pane, under TCP/IP is missing some bits. The Configure IPv4 drop down only has "using PPP" and "manually' in it; there is not "Renew DHCP License" button or DHCP Client ID field.
But might it be a hardware problem (in the G4) causing this?
I thought of reinstalling OS 10.4 from my disk, but then, if that didn't solve my problem, I would not be able to do the upgrades to 10.4.7 without an internet connection. But perhaps there is a corrupted .plist that may be causing this?

Hey, good suggestions!
I actually found that old Hardware Test CD from when I bought this Mac about 6 years ago, never used it before! It booted up in the old OS 9 style and I ran the test....found no hardware problems.
I ethernetted my PB to the G4, but did NOT get a connection....still I wonder if the configuration is wrong, maybe that would prevent the network from coming up?
I checked the ethernet port in my system utilities, and it came up OK, nothing odd except that it said it was PPP
Finally I talked to a friend who said something very similar happened to him and it was solved by reinstalling the OS
So I am currently doing an archive and install........
OK, sheesh. so I do an archive and install and the network pane still showed the same. Dang
So, I ran through my network panes again....and saw that my checkbox under the PPPoE pane was checked. So I unchecked it. And, of course, my TCP/IP pane came back to normal and I hit "Apply".....and it's all working now.
So how much work do I have to do to clean up after my archive and install?? I don't want to think about it right now. More importantly......how did that checkbox get checked for PPPoE?????

  • When I open a PDF directly in acrobat pro 11 it provides the review pane at the right hand side on clicking on Comment button. But when I open it through browser the review  pane is missing.

    The review pane is missing at the right hand side when I open a PDF in browser. I am using acrobat pro 11 and it is not even providing the option to prevent the PDF to open in browser.
    Also, the review pane appears when I launch the PDF in acrobat directly.
    Please could you help resolving this issue?

    How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible?  I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit.  It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues.  And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1. 
    And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible?  I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues.  And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other.  So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together.  If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together? 
    Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in.  So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed.  I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above. 

  • Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

    I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
    This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
    1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
    - Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
    - Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
    - Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
    - Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
    - Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
    - when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
    - Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
    - Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
    - faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
    2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
    - iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
    - VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
    - Flight tracker widget
    - Exchange support (probably in the works)
    - Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
    - Bluetooth sync
    - DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
    - Data/File storage with sync
    - TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
    - Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
    -Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
    3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
    - GPS
    - 3G
    - LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
    - Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
    Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!

    I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
    The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
    My wish list:
    1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
    2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
    3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
    4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
    5) Copy and paste.
    V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

  • Missing Features in BT Cloud

    The thread is intended to keep together a list of BT Cloud features that people would like but that are not present.  It is sometimes difficult to keep buts and missing features apart; if posting please try to keep to the 'missing features' subject.  While I can, I will edit this first post rather than adding extra posts as I add extra comments.
    BT Cloud is a new service (or a new interface to an old service) so has many missing features; with luck if we record these the team will try to get them added at some point.  I have found them very responsive on the issues with speed (even though they haven't yet managed to resolve them), and I hope they will be equally responsive here.
    ~~~~~~~~
    Sharing of directories
    I can share files but not directories.  On the Windows GUI, 'Share' is greyed out when a directory is selected.  On the web GUI, you can select 'Share', but all the options are then greyed out except 'Show Sharing History'
    ~~~~~~~~~
    Multi-select
    Normal multi-select options don't work in either GUI.
    Expect shift-click to select a range of files/directories.
    Expect ctrl-a to select all.
    etc.
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Not enough control of when backup happens
    No control to prevent BT Cloud starting when computer starts
    Also, it starts instances for ALL users ~ in many cases backup will only be required from one 'main' user.
    No pause button to pause backup
    No exit button to stop backup altogether
    Correction: these buttons do exist, but are in a completely non-conventional place,
    after clicking left button on the notification icon a secondary (nonstandard) pair of icons comes up,
    if you right-click on the left of these you get a useful menu with pause, exit and help.
    These should all appear on a right button click of the notification icon,
    and help should be available from the main screen as a button or by hitting F1.
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Backup of folders from network drive
    Don't seem to be able to select folders from a network drive to back up.
    Dones not work using either network drive directly, or via mapped drive letter.
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Easy backup of music files from android
    This is available on Windows, and can be done manually on android, but esasier interface needed on Android

    You will have to disregard my previous comments. It seems that when I tried to use the BT Cloud app for the first time it had not set up fully. There was no access to the help pages.
    A section by section read through the instructions shows that most features in my listing are there. Even a pause feature, and of course, being able to quit the app..
    For every day use the app seems to be fully effective.
    Other users with more advanced demands may find some problems.
    The demands on the Windows 7 operating system are low, using little processing time and only a minor RAM usage.

  • I want a new and more powerful (non-Apple) wireless router but I still want to use my existing Time Capsule to continue with my Time Machine backups and I still need the Time Capsule's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features and capabilities

    THE SHORTER STORY
    My goal is to successfully use my existing Time Capsule (TC) with a new and more powerful wireless router. I need a new and more powerful wireless router in order to reach a distant Denon a/v receiver that is physically located in a master bedroom some 50 feet away from my modem. I need to provide this Denon a/v receiver with an Internet connection so that it can obtain its firmware updates and I need to connect this Denon a/v receiver to my network in order to use its AirPlay feature. I believe l still need the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features because I am not sure if the new wireless router will provide me with the NAS like features / capabilities I need to share files between my two Apple laptops with OS X 10.8.2. And I know that I absolutely need my TC's seamless integration with Apple's Time Machine (TM) application in order to continue to make effortless backups of my two Apple laptops. To my knowledge nothing works with TM like Apple's TC. I also need the hard disk storage space built into the TC.
    I cannot use a long wired Ethernet cable connection in this apartment and I cannot use power-line adapters. I have read that wireless range extenders and repeaters are difficult to successfully set-up and that they will reduce data speeds, especially so when incorrectly set-up. I cannot relocate my modem and/or primary base station wireless router.
    In short, I want to use my TC with my new and more powerful wireless router. I need to stop using the TC to connect to the modem. However, I still need the TC for seamless TM backups. I also need to use the TC's built in hard drive for storage. And I may still need the TC's NAS capabilities to share files wirelessly between laptops because I am assuming the new wireless router will not provide NAS capabilities for OS X 10.8.2 (products like this/non-Apple products rarely seem to work with OS X 10.8.2/Macs to provide NAS features and capabilities). Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone please advise on how to set-up my new Asus wireless router with my existing TC in such a way to accomplish all of this?
    What is the best configuration or set-up to accomplish my above goals?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!
    THE FULL STORY
    I live in an apartment building where my existing Time Capsule (TC) is located in my living room and serves many purposes. Specially, my TC is at least all of the following:
    (1) Wi-Fi router connected to Comcast Internet service via Motorola SB6121 cable modem - currently the TC is the Wi-Fi base station that connects to the modem and has the gateway address to the Internet. The TC now provides the DHCP service for the Wi-Fi network.
    (2) Wireless router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to several Wi-Fi clients - two Apple laptop computers, an iPod touch, an iPad and an iPhone all connect wirelessly to the Internet via the TC.
    (3) Wired Ethernet router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to three different devices - a Panasonic TV, LG Blu-Ray player and an Apple TV each use one of the three LAN ports on the back of the TC to gain access to the Internet.
    (4) Primary base station in my attempt to extend my wireless network to a distant (located far away) Denon a/v receiver requiring a wired Ethernet connection - In addition to the TC, which is my primary base station, I am also using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. I cannot use a wired Ethernet connection to continuously travel from the living room to the master bedroom. The distance is too great as I cannot effectively hide the Ethernet cable in this apartment.
    (5) Time Machine (TM) backup facilitator - I use my TC to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops using Apple's Time Machine (TM) application. However, I ran out of storage space on my TC and therefore added external storage to it. Specifically, I added an external hard drive to my TC via the USB port on the back of the TC. I now use this added external hard drive connected to the TC via USB as the destination storage drive for my TM back-ups. I have partitioned the added external hard drive, and each of the several partitions all have enough storage space (e.g., each of the two partitions used by TM are sized at three times the hard drive space of each laptop, etc.). Everything works flawlessly.
    (6) Network Attached Storage (NAS) - In addition to using the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) capabilities to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops via TM, I also store other additional files on both (A) the hard drive built into the TC and (B) the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB (there are additional separate partitions on this drive for these other additional and non-TM backup files).
    I use the TC's NAS feature with my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Again, everything works wirelessly and flawlessly. (Note: the Apple TV is connected to the network via Ethernet and a LAN port on the back of the TC).
    The issue I am having is when I try to listen to music via Apple's AirPlay in the master bedroom. This master bedroom is located at a distance of two rooms away from the TC's current location in the living room, which is a distance of about 50 feet. This apartment has a long rectangular floor plan where each room is connected to the next in a straight line. In order to use AirPlay in the master bedroom I am using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. This additional base station connects wirelessly to the WiFi network provided by my TC and then gives my Denon receiver the wired Ethernet connection it needs to use AirPlay. I have tried moving my iTunes music directly onto my laptop's hard drive, and then I used AirPlay on this same laptop to connect to the Denon receiver. I always get a successful connection and the song plays, but the problem is that the connection inevitably drops.
    I live in an apartment building and all of the many wireless routers in this building create a great deal of WiFi interference on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. I have tried connecting the Netgear product to each the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, but neither band can successfully maintain a wireless connection between the TC and the Netgear product. I also attempted to maintain a wireless connection to an iPod touch using the 2.4 GHz band and AirPlay on this iPod touch to play music on the Denon receiver. Again, I was able to establish a connection and successfully play music, but after a few minutes the connection dropped and the music stopped playing. I therefore have concluded that I have a poor wireless connection in the master bedroom. I can establish a connection, but it is intermittent with frequent drops. I have verified this with both laptops by working in the master bedroom for an entire day on both laptops. The Internet connection in this master bedroom proved to drop out frequently - about once an hour with the laptops. The wireless connection and the frequency of its dropout are far worse with the iPod touch and an iPhone.
    I cannot relocate the TC. Also, this is an apartment and I therefore cannot extend the range of my network with Ethernet cable (I cannot drill through walls/ceilings, etc.). It is an old building with antiquated wiring and power-line adapters are not likely to function properly, nor can I spare the direct power outlet required with a power-line adapter. I simply need every outlet I can get and cannot afford to block any direct outlet.
    My solution is to use a more powerful wireless router. I found the ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router which will likely provide a better connection to my wireless Internet in the master bedroom than the TC. The 802.11ac band of this Asus wireless router is totally useless to me, but based on what I have read I believe this router will provide a stronger connection at greater distances then my TC. And I will be ready for 802.11ac when it becomes more widely available.
    However, I still need to maintain the TC's ability to work seamlessly with TM to backup my two laptops. Also, I doubt the new Asus router will provide OS X 10.8.2 with NAS like features and capabilities. Therefore, I still would like to use the TC's NAS capabilities to share files on my network wirelessly assuming the Asus wireless router fails to provide this feature. I need a new and more powerful wireless router, but I need to maintain the TC's NAS features and seamless integration with TM. Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone advise on how to set-up my existing TC with this new Asus wireless router in such a way to accomplish all of this?

    In regards to a Plan B, I hear ya brother. I am already on what feels like Plan Z. Getting WiFi to a far off room in an apartment building crowded with WiFi routers is a major pain.
    I am basing my thoughts on the potential of a new and more powerful router reaching the far off master bedroom based on positive reviews on cnet.com, pcmag.com and pcworld.com. All 3 of these web sites have reviewed the Asus RT-AC66U 802.11AC wireless router as well as its virtual twin cousin 802.11n router. What impressed me is that all 3 sites rated this router #1 overall in terms of both range and speed (in both the 802.11n and 802.11AC flavors). They tested the router in real world scenarios where the router needed to compete with a lot of other wireless routers. One of the sites even buried this Asus router in a media room with thick walls and inside a media cabinet. This Asus router should be able to serve my 2.4 GHz band wireless clients (iPod Touch and iPhone 4) with a 2.4GHz Wireless-N band offering some 50 feet of dependable range and a 60 Mbps throughput at that range. I am hoping that works, but it's borderline for my master bedroom. My 5 GHz wireless clients (laptops) will enjoy a 5GHz Wireless-N band offering 150 feet of range and a 200 Mbps throughput at that range. I have no idea what most of that stuff means, but I did also read that Asus could reach 300 feet and I got really excited. My mileage may vary of course and I'm sure I'm making some mistakes in my interpretation of their data. However, my Winter 2009 Time Capsule was rated by cnet.com to deliver real world performance of less than that, and 802.11AC may or may not be useful to me someday. But when this Asus arrives and provides anything other than an excellent and consistent wireless signal without drops in the master bedroom it's going right back!
    Your solution sounds great, but I have some questions. I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and Airport Utility (version 6.1 610.31) and on its third tab labeled "Wireless" the top option enables you to set "Network Mode" to either:
    Create a wireless network
    Extend a wireless network
    Off
    Given your advice to "Turn off the wireless on the TC," should I set Network Mode to Off? Sorry, I'm clueless in regards to how to turn off the wireless on the TC any other way. Can you provide specific steps on how to turn off the wireless on the TC? If what I wrote is correct then what should the rest of this Wireless tab look like, or perhaps it is irrelevant when wireless is off?
    Next, what do you mean by "Configure the TC in Bridge Mode?" Under Airports Utility's fourth tab labeled "Network" the top option "Router Mode" allows for either:
    DHCP and Nat
    DHCP Only
    Off (Bridge Mode)
    Is your advice to Configure the TC in Bridge Mode as simple as setting Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)? If yes, then what should the rest of this "Network" tab look like? Anything else involved in configuring the TC in Bridge Mode or is it really as simple as setting the Router Mode to "Off (Bridge Mode)"?
    How about the other tabs in Airport Utility, can they all stay as is assuming I use the same network name and password for the new Asus wireless router? Or do I need to make any other changes to the TC via Airport Utility?
    Finally, in regards to your Plan B suggestion. I agree. But do you have a Plan B for me? I would greatly appreciate any alternative you could provide. Specifically, if you needed a TC's Internet connection to reach a far off corner of your home how would you do it? In the master bedroom I need both a wired Ethernet connection for the Denon a/v receiver and wireless Internet connection for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
    Power-Line Adapters - High Cost, Blocks at Least One Wall Outlet and Does Not Solve the Wireless Need
    I actually like exactly one power-line adapter, which is the D-Link DHP-540 PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch. This D-Link power-line adapter plugs into your wall outlet with a normal sized plug (regular standard power cord much like any other electronic device) instead of all of the other recommended power-line adapters that not only use at least one wall outlet but also often block the second outlet. You cannot use a power strip with a power-line adapter which is very impractical for me. And everything about my home is strange and upside down. The wiring here is a disaster and I don't have faith in its ability to carry Internet access from the living room to the master bedroom. And this D-Link power-line adapter costs $90 each and I need at least two to make the connection to the Denon A/V receiver. So, $180 on this solution and I still don't have a dependable drop free wireless connection in the master bedroom. The Denon might get its Ethernet Internet connection from the power-line adapter, but if I want to use an iPhone 4 or iPod Touch to stream AirPlay music to the Denon wirelessly (Pandora/iTunes, etc.) from the master bedroom the wireless connection will not be stable in there and I've already spent $190 on just the two power-line adapters needed.
    Extenders / Repeaters / Wirelessly Extending the Wireless Network
    I have also read great things about the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Range Extender (Repeater) SR20000G and the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender. The former is very powerful and the latter is easier to install. Both cost about $150 ish so similar to a new Asus router. However, everything I read about Range Extenders points to them not being very effective for a far off corner of your house wherein it's apparently hard to place the range extender in the sweet spot where it both gets a strong enough signal to actually effectively extend the wireless signal and otherwise does not reduce network throughput speeds to unacceptable speeds.
    Creating a Roaming Network By Hard Wiring with Ethernet Cable - Wife Would Say, "**** No!"
    Even Apple seems to warn against wirelessly extending your network (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145#) and otherwise strongly recommends a roaming network where Ethernet cable is used to connect two wireless base stations. However, I am in an apartment where stringing together two wireless base stations with Ethernet cable would have an extremely low wife acceptance factor (WAF). I cannot (both contractually and from a skill prospective) hide Ethernet wire in the walls or ceiling. And having visible Ethernet cable running from room-to-room would be unacceptable, especially to the wife.
    So what is left? Do you have a Plan B for me? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Missing features in Audition CS5.5

    Ok, I have been playing around intensively with Audition CS5.5 for a few weeks now. Aside from the thing that SES to SESX import did not work natively (thanks Todd, for giving me the link, although I do think that it should have been included in the software in the first place), there are some other things that bug me.
    Here's my top 4 (in order of personal importance):
    1. GROUP CLIPS
    This feature is missing. If you're working on a mix, you need to be able to move parts quickly, not risking screwing up parts that are OK. Manually selecting all clips and then moving them is timewise not very efficient. IMHO, we really shouldn't have to wait until CS6 for this feature to return...
    2. LAYOUT
    I keep hitting the vertical zoom sign whenever I want to zoom in horizontally. I use horizontal zooming much more than vertical. Of course you can use the + or - signs on the keyboard, but I find myself hitting the on-screen button time and again. In Au 3 they were in the "correct" position. And there's no way of adjusting the workspace so that I can place the buttons where I like them to be. I am so used to this on-screen layout, that I think it will take a long time to adjust to this.
    3. CLIP TIME STRETCH
    You can't drag clips to stretch them to a desired length. You do have an improved dialog for Strecth and Pitch (which I like), but you can't do it visually on the timeline.
    4. PRE-LISTEN TRACKS
    I Au 3 you could quickly sort through multiple effect tracks by pre-listening them using Auto-play in the import dialog to find that right type of swoosh you need from your sound collection. Now you can't, or you have to rely on Adobe Bridge.
    I know that the Adobe Bug Report / Feature Request form is the best way to submit these (and I frequently use that), but I'm also curious if other sound editors deal with the same problems.

    I believe no one has responded to the original post because all of these topics have been discussed in other threads since Audition CS 5.5 was released.  We absolutely appreciate knowing which missing features are most important to our users so that we can place priority toward implementing them.  While I can't divulge what features will be in Audition CS 6 at this time, I think it's safe to say that most of these requests will be satisfied.
    Regarding the layout of the Zoom buttons, it is possible to display these buttons both within the standard Editor panel (the default view) and as a separate panel which can be positioned as you like.  Click Window > Zoom in the menu bar to open this panel.

  • Feedback about glitches, misbehaviors errors, missing features, bugs

    I couldn't find a thread where I could submit feedback about glitches, misbehaviors errors, missing features, bugs (and things of that nature) encountered when using Edge and needed a place where I could collect them writing about them as they happen and before I forget.
    This is not a whishlist, rather simply a place where I'd like to send feedback and hopefully get clarifications on something that may be a non working feature, erratic behavior or a bug.
    That said here is the first one of them:
    Where: Edge Animate > Library>Assets
    What: Impossible to remove from the list the folder and/or assets
    When: Always
    How: After adding asset (add an image to the composition) remove the image from the composition. Then if you would like to remove that asset, there isn't an option to do so. The contextual menu only offer one choice "Reveal in Finder" (on a Mac) which is basically reading the path of the asset and opening the containing folder for the selected asset.
    Only removing the file or folder from the location (which Edge has stored as a path) would yield a removal from the list of the Library>Asset The item will be removed from the list when, upon right clicking and selecting "Reveal in Finder" Edge will not find the asset and ask the user if they want to reload the content of that list which basically will refresh the pointers and if the asset won't be found then the entry for it will be removed from the list. (Quite a cumbersome hoop-jumping just to remove an asset from the list)
    Why: Users wanting to manage and update the content of the Assets may want to see some listed but may want to ignore other entries that have been replaced with different assets, but they want to keep the files within the folder where they were originally placed.
    For instance adding images 001.jpg through 100.jpg  and later removing all odd images or even ones from the composition, the Library will still list them in the assets unless removed from that folder "physically" and placing them somewhere else doing an "update" in the library pane later as explained above. Leaving the unused assets in the list when not necessary adds to clutter and having to perform a manual workaround to update the UI isn't very efficient
    (a minor missing feature... not a feature request to start this feedback thread)
    Hope this helps keep track of issues, but if there's a better way/system, will be glad to use that instead.
    Cheers!

    Bug Reporting (is there anywhere users can provide feedback about bugs/program's glitches?)
    Not knowing where to list what would appear to be bugs/glitches I'll keep adding them here and hopefully someone at the Edge Team will look into it eventually as time allows
    Issue: Min W in Symbols' stage property won't stick to percentage.
    To reproduce behavior:
    - Create symbol,
    - Double click to edit created symbol,
    - When in Symbol Edit mode, click on the stage (once),
    - Edit the Min W of the symbol's stage properties on the left "Properties" panel,
    - Without changing the value (which will be zero), toggle px to percentage,
    - Save your project,
    ...et voilà by magic the property you just toggled reverts itself to px
    (To make it stick apparently it's necessary to change the value in the text field then toggle px to % and it will be properly kept when saving.)
    side note: I don't know if that's something that can be a factor in causing the glitch, but each time a project is saved and a the user is "inside" a symbol's stage, the values in the properties panel will display the main stage properties and then will go load again the properties of the symbol being edited.
    Cheers!

  • Missing Features (why I won't yet recommend FiOS TV)

    Hi all,
    I wanted to post here in hopes that Verizon hears my complaints and does something about it.  I don't know if there is a bug / feature reporting tool they have publicly available, so I'm using this forum.
    Overall, we love everything about Verizon.  Great service and support, great internet speeds and up-time, super sharp TV picture, responsive modern UI!  Love it.
    I would recommend everything to my friends and family except the TV service, and this is because the DVR is missing some basic functionality.  Here are the things I want to see fixed added before I'm willing to recommend Verizon TV to others (DirectTVs DVR is better in this regard, but unfortunately we can't get a signal at our new place)
    Missing features:
    1) Extend an active recording
    -- This is a deal breaker if you are a sports fan.  Once a recording has started, there is no way to extend it.  I've seen post saying "just subscribe to the series with a custom end time", and "just record the show after it".  These are lame work arounds.  This is pretty basic functionality.  A better work around would be for Verizon to allow me to set a custom stop time when I start a single recording.  Why isn't this an option??? It's clearly able to handle setting a custom end time when setting up series recordings, how is this different?
    2) Can not pause an on-demand show
    -- I can not see paying for any on-demand shows without this functionality.  Have you ever watched a movie straight through without needing to pause the DVD? With TV shows, if you watch it live they show enough commercials to fit in a quick bathroom break or make popcorn, whatever.  With on-demand, there are less commercials (this is good), and that makes it harder to take a quick break...  Further, if you have kids... you NEED a way to pause to, um, deal with the kids on occasion.  I can understand wanting to disable FFwd (to disable skipping commercials), or Rwnd (to disable someone trying to play a pay movie multiple times), but Pause??? come on...   Add the ability to pause, and it may be enough for me to cancel my Netflix subscription, and give my money to the Verizon on-demand service instead...
    I'd love to hear from a Verizon employee on at least #1.  This is my number one complaint.  I'm a sports fan and this is killing me...  Is there an ETA on fixing this? Some where better for me to voice my concern? Like I said, #1 really prevents me from recommending Verizon TV to anyone.  I love everything else, so missing this one this is a real shame.

    I also will not recommend Fios TV. The channel/program guide is useless as well as paying for outdated movies on the movie package. I will list the problems and hopefully Verizon will review and possibly correct or update these issues.
    BIOS TV
    1. Program/Channel Information Guide
           Not Informative - No year or actor listing with very limited program story information.  
           Incorrect Program Listing - Guide has listing of a program or movie and when you select the program to watch it has a
           different program/movie on the channel.  Cyberspace TV?
    2. Movies included and provided basic subscription
           Limited
    3. Optional Purchase Packages:  HBO/Cinemax, The Movie Package
        99% Outdated movies (from the last century and beyond).
        Very limited movie selection for ON Demand, no new movies added/scheduled for long periods of time and again   
        movies are old and outdated.
    If Verizon ever decides to update FIOS TV to meet public standards in the very near future then I will renew my contract otherwise I can not see spending my money on inadequate subscriptions. My Fios bundled was installed in May 2009.
    Thank you.
    Rosa
    1. This is upcomming. When looking at the guide it gives a basic description, but if you hit info it gives a more detailed description. actors and dates are something in the works.   As for the wrong show, this may or may not be a Verizon issue. Sometimes Verizon's guide is just wrong. But more often than not, it is a problem with the channel not verizon. If the channel said they would have show "a" on and that is what verizon put on their guide, then the channel had a change or problem with the show at the last minute, it would not have been communicated to Verizon so they were expecting to show "a" but ended up broadcasting show "b". I live in an area where fios tv is not available yet and I have Direct TV. Same thing happens there. We notice it especially on cartoon network ourselves, I record pokemon for my nephew and about half the time they will have "the adventures of flapjack" instead. Its not a problem with Directv's guide, its a problem with cartoon network in my case. This is not to say that the problem you are seeing is not a verizon issue in some cases. but in a lot of cases, its a problem with the channel itself and there is nothing verizon can do in those instances
    2. There are several movie channels included in the base packages. I.E.  AMC, TCM, Bravo, etc.   Things like showtime, IFC, Encore and such will always be extra.
    3. Content on the movie packages is in no way controled by Verizon. This complaint needs to be sent to those channels themselves. Verizon has no say in the content on the channels.

  • Missing features in Server Admin

    I have been administrating OS X servers for a couple of years, in my opinion there are a couple of things missing from the Server Admin Application:
    *Fetchmail setup*
    It's very easy setting it up using the command line (once you know how to do it). So why not make a GUI option for it? It's an excellent feature when a server is installed on a location where the power and/or internet connection is not reliable enough. In fact one of the (very) few things I like on a Windows server is the POP3 Connection Manager, it's very easy to set up.
    *Site 2 Site VPN*
    An excellent feature, once again, simple to set up once you know how to do it using the command line. It's an excellent option for connection networks. But it feels like a hidden feature.
    *Windows version*
    The Server Admin and Workgroup manager apps are great, but I think that a Windows version would make a Mac OS X Server more attractive for Windows user. Both apps are relatively simple, so why not?
    That's all...

  • System Preferences Problem - Network Pane Inaccesible.

    I am having a problem with iTunes on an iMac G3SE running 10.4.11. One idea to deal with the problem involves checking the network settings/proxies, etc. Great... easy to get at... But that is not my *Real Problem*!
    That is that I'm having difficulties getting into the Network Pane (and only THAT pane) of System Preferences. I open Sys Prefs... no problem. I open Network... no problem. Then, a second or so later a sheet descends saying "Your network settings have been changed by another application". I click "OK" The sheet ascends... and just as I am moving my mouse to the required button, down comes the sheet again. Click OK... ascends... descends... ... ... and so on. At that point it has also become impossible to close Sys Prefs... the sheet blocks me out from that level of the display, so I have to "Force Quit" Sys Prefs (which, luckily, works... I wouldn't want to have to keep hitting the power button to effect a restart!!).
    Anyone ever had a problem like this... how do I resolve... I can't think of anything that's installed on the G3 that could be interfering with the settings... and why does the sheet keep descending, rather than going away completely when I acknowledge its presence by hitting "OK".
    I've tried deleting the Sys Prefs plists, in case it is a preferences issue... but that doesn't explain the suggested existence of some program that I don't recognise as interfering with the network settings.

    To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
    Try this cure for Security update...

  • List of missing features in CC 2014 for film editors

    hello everyone,
    I was thinking about some features I miss in CC 2014 (and I really was hoping they will be there, because the most of them are just basics...) and made a list which I want to send (again...) to Adobe as feature request. Premiere improved a lot in last years, but there are still some basic functions which you absolutely need as a professional editor, which still aren`t implemented. What do you think about the list? or maybe did I overlook some of the new features in CC 2014? Just so you know, I`m using Premiere mostly for editing movies (shorts, but will edit my first feature film this year), also promotional films, but much more less. So my biggest concern right now is if Premiere is the right choice for editing a feature, which of course means a lot of material, probably Red Raw.
    so here`s what I totally miss in Premiere:
    1. auto sync/auto merge: synching by timecode or waveform all of the video and audio clips in the bin/in the timeline at once and not one after another. and merging them all at once, not one after another. it works of course, but it takes ages!
    2. merged clips should be more flexible,
    - it should be possible to use the option "interpret footage" on merged clips, sometimes you have to modify them after they were merged and you`re already editing for a long time.
    - replacing raw footage should also replace the footage in the (already merged and edited in a timeline) merged clips
    3. the aaf export is much too simple, there are a lot of options I miss there. it is great solve in Avid and in automatic duck in Final Cut, something like that would be great
    4. the possibility to change color space in the project and play out. yes, this option is available in After Effects, but you can`t always use it, because there is some footage you can`t import in AE (like titles!)
    5. .. which leads me to the last point: it should be possible to export the titles from Premiere with an alpha channel (I`m using the titles as the subtitles)
    bugs that need to be fix:
    - audio dropouts!
    Are there any feature films editors here? what is your experience with working on big projects on premiere?

    Since I don't know how to edit my own posts . . .
    Another missing feature, automatically filling in formulas when a new row is created. For instance, say you have 3 columns, 1 + 2 = 3. In Office 2004, when I add a new row, that formula is automatically inserted. It's just one of those nice little time saving features that would be nice.

  • After FF28 installed, my history & bookmarks are missing just like #981577 I've tried everything!

    I've had this problem for about 5 days, it may have happened prior to that, perhaps as early as 4/23/14 but I'm not well (inoperable brain cancer) and just began using my laptop again about 5 days ago. I became aware of the problems about 5 days ago, during which I have tried searching the Mozilla support forums and the web for some clue as to what else I can try, hence the reference to question #981577, which looks like it could have been written by me (my saved passwords no longer work, and I can't open add-ons now, but for the last few days I could use add-ons - the ones for sql lite, but I just tried the troubleshooter add-on listed at the bottom of this page and I can't utilize it, which happened to me earlier today when I downloaded an add-on, I clicked the orange FF button on the top left, then clicked on Add-Ons and it only goes so far as to reach the Add-Ons manager, but nothing happens when you click the Add-On you're trying to use - if it even shows up - it only shows a place marker page with "Disable" and "Remove" - I thought the problem was with the other Add-On I tried because it was over a year old and maybe it just didn't work. Somehow I think that the Firefox Menu Bar with the Orange Firefox button and other tool bars might be part of the problem. If I click on the Navigation Tool Bar and I click on the Bookmarks Button that I added to the bar, it will drop down and show me bookmarked pages (maybe 15) that aren't sorted like my missing ones. If I click "Show All Bookmarks" it opens the window labeled LIBRARY which shows on the left side of the screen. Inside the Library window is a toolbar with fwd bkwk grayed out/can't use, then organize, then views, then Import and Backup - then a box that's Search Bookmarks with a magnifying glass. Below the tool bar is a left screen section with an icon like a book that reads All Bookmarks, there are no bookmarks listed under that heading, and nothing happens if you click it like a button/command. On the right hand side there are two sections, the first section on the right hand side and upper portion under the toolbar is an area with Name and Location headings, and below show the 3 recent Bookmarks I have added lately. Right below the previous section is the heading Name: and then a blank search box. If I click "Show All" when working with Bookmarks OR Toolbars, they somehow default to a blank LIBRARY window. When I click the History area from the Firefox Orange button, it shows several recent websites, when I click Show All - nothing, I just and when I click on Bookmarks, there are several bookmarks that I have made today showing up, BUT NONE of these bookmarks show up in the LIBRARY window when I click Show All. I want to add that I get the same results when I use the Firefox Orange Button Toolbar as opposed to the original Menu toolbar. I have completed every task mentioned in the conversation of question #981577, and for the most part, I have repeated the steps three times each, with additional exits from Firefox and powering down my pc in between for good measure. I have also used Windows System Restore twice with no results, as well as attempting to "downgrade" my version of Firefox to 24 and 27 (which I know is not a recommended step and the first attempt resulted in downloading Firefox 28, which I was already running, and the second time, nothing restored or magically appeared, so I did an un-install and did a clean install of Firefox 28 from the download link on the Mozilla site. There is no indication that the other support-user had her question/ticket answered/resolved. The support communication spanned from 12/26-12/27/13. I wished that the previous conversation had taken place more recently, because it may point to a problem with FF28, but I don't know if it was released back in December. Here is the question/problem from the original poster, and I HAVE taken all of the steps as suggested by the support representative that assisted her.
    I would be so grateful to have my bookmarks back because they are my lifeline, and I think I have/had more than 3,500 links. As far as my history, I never delete anything (bookmarks included). I know there must have been thousands of visited websites that I have saved. Here is the question/problem from the original poster, and I HAVE taken all of the steps as suggested by the support representative that assisted her:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/981577?esab=a&s=show+all+bookmarks+show+history+doesn%27t+work&r=20&as=s&page=1
    "Earlier today my bookmarks were there. Later tonight, not there.
    I've tried the whole restore bookmarks process, I've copied the folder and deleted the places file thing. None of that has worked.
    What's weird is if I type something in in the URL box that I know is in my bookmarks, it will show up like it's in the history. But nothing shows up in my bookmarks folder at all.
    I need some help on this as I've tried almost every way I've read and nothing has brought them up. And like I said in the title, I have over 800 bookmarks and a lot of them are work related."
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Thanks to everyone who took a look at my problems with missing/lost Library, History, Bookmarks, Downloads, and Passwords files after the Firefox 28 Update (the automated one), especially Debapriyo. Debapriyo, your suggestion was one of the first I tried over four days ago, but I did re-try it each day, and twice today (this morning, and again after I posted my support issue on here). Unfortunately, every time I tried it, I would click start, and I would almost always see the screen flash slightly, then at the top of the window where it says "Library" it would say something like "the program is not responding" and then...nothing, and nothing on "My Computer" showed any changes. I also used Places Management and Places Maintenance to make sure that the files were in my Profile Folder, etc., and I kept getting a clean Places Management with a Deep Check, and I double checked the tables on Places Maintenance - both of these programs as well as Restoration were recommended in previous replies to inquiries similar to mine. In addition to restoring my computer, I did a "Reset" on Firefox that created a new Profile name which is used where my FF files are stored. I think this may have contributed to my eventual success.
    Finally, I tried the trick of backing up necessary files into a different folder, then changing the name of the "Places SQL?" I forget the second part of the file name (I blame my brain tumor for my short-term memory issues - really) I think that's the name, so I changed the name. I then clicked File, then Exit and it closed Fire Fox. I was very reluctant to use this method to solve my issues, but after about 4-5 attempts using this, my bookmarks showed up - not just the ones that fit into the drop down box and would only save to Un-Sorted Bookmarks in the Library, it finally showed up exactly as it did before the problems. I found that by using the Menu Toolbar alternately removing it and looking at Orange Button Menu in the top left of the screen it seems like the SQL info is not flowing to both menus the same way. If I clicked on the Orange Button Menu, it started by listing 3-4 websites as Bookmarks. If I used the Menu Toolbar Bookmarks button, it would list Bookmarks to the bottom of that dropdown - about 15 websites (which is crazy for both because I actually have 4,200 bookmarks). I was so frustrated though by clicking All Bookmarks or All History and the pop up window for Library would say "there are no files." I don't really know the final answer or what solved my problems, but I've stayed awake almost an entire 4 days awake trying to fix this, and now it looks likes like I"ve managed to fix it 99.9%, and I'm done with it - I can't take any more. I think my brain tumor has grown it's own tumor over this - I'm definitely no IT expert, that's for sure. Thanks Again!

  • Where are the many missing features in Numbers found?

    The more that I use Numbers the less likely that I will ever go through the motions of trying to get Numbers to do enough of the things that have to be done in order for my income tax program to work. Like in another post I have some of my smaller tax forms to say that they are too big to be imported. There seems to be too many missing features to do a useful job.
    This leaves trying to use Numbers to handle new small, small, small spreadsheets. At the present times I have little problem setting up a format for a cell providing the formatting is available. In Excel the easiest way to copy a format to a new cell is to use format painter. Many time copy/paste will work. But copy/paste will move the formula also. I have not been able to find a way to do this with Numbers.
    So far the sliders feature is the one feature that interests me enough to try to use Numbers in the real work handling portion of my business. Many things I want to do either I can't find out how to do them or there are too many added keystrokes needed compared to Excel to make me want to do a spreadsheet in Numbers.
    Since the majority of my spreadsheets do not use a header row or header column I have to get that turned off. Tax sheets have a lot of blank spaces to start things out & normally will be different than the next sheet.
    I used a lot of cell/range names as well as individual cells. I use 450+ cell names in my main Form 1040, A,B,D,NE,IA page. That still leaves me needing to know the row/column designation most of the time. I cannot find where that information is displayed in Numbers.
    I keep looking, but generally do not find the needed feature that I need. Many like the cell designation is so basic. Being able to use the arrow keys to move to a cell for inclusion in a formula is another one that I am unable to do. Using the help files do not come close to answering any question that I have with Numbers. Where is the Numbers, "Missing Manual?" I need what I don't have & may not be made at the current time.
    Like Pages 1.0, Numbers 1.0 doesn’t seem ready for prime time use. There are too many missing features be a very complete spreadsheet. Some I probably can’t find, some probably are not there.
    I need help.

  • Custom button goes missing after click the button in Customer Master

    Hi All,
    I have one query regarding Custom tab button in Custome MAster.I have implemented BAdIs using CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA_CS and CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA  to match my requirment.
    Query:
    While click the custom button(which i have created in Customer Master) , the subscreen is displayed  but the Custom Button is missing.Where in Standard Buttons like 'GENERAL DATA' and 'COMPANY CODE DATA' Std buttons in Customer master Etc. buttons going to disable mode while click these button in custome mastar.
    Is there any OSS notes to implement OR we required to set up some PF status to match above requirment.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Sridhar

    If I follow you, no. That's the way it works. The buttons are composited with the background so become part of it. I'd rethink the design.
    Basically, you don't want the highlights to determine the color of unselected buttons. You'll always have fringes and jaggies. Having a non-transparent color set for the unselected state kind of does what you want, but won't look the best.

  • My list of missing features

    Ok, some are repeats:
    PivotTables and Grouping.
    Although I'm no scientist or engineer, missing those two key features is frustrating.
    Another thing I find missing is summaries within the graphs themselves. And especially auto-update. Right now to get that to work I can drag my series to include the footer, but then it includes the footers value into my chart. In Excel, the tables know when you've added an additional row and adds that to the chart. I mostly use trend graphs, so having to go back to each chart and update the selection is very tedious. Or having the Sum value at the end throw off the averages I'm trying to trend. Nothing like having a bunch of values around 2-3 or 20-30 over an average and then a huge 10k number at the end to make the rest unreadable.
    While I may just be missing how to do this, but I don't see any easy way of bringing data in from another workbook.
    I know this one is a little silly, but clipart. I love the idea of iPhoto integration (and Aperature) it's only a shame I use LightRoom but at the same time, I'm a photographer, so why would I have little silly clipart's in my DAM system? It would be nice to have a clipart gallery that's separate from iPhoto that can be accessed through all the iWork programs.
    Another thing, Data Validation. Either in the form of verifying data is within a certain range or doesn't exceed a set amount, to creating lists.
    Oh, and a Divide function. Why can't this ever be easy? lol I know you can just us / but they have a Quotient function, but it only rounds to whole numbers and then MOD which does the remainder, why not just a simple function for both?
    And password protection.
