Odd question about new keyboard

Just purchased a new logic thin keyboard. I have had these color coded boards in the past. Never had a problem customizing them. For some reason on this one, the top row will not perform the FCP shortcuts, overwrite, etc. It is supposed to default to those, but it does not. I have tried to re-assign those functions, but still for some reason I am getting the standard mac commands. The rest of the keyboard seems to be OK. I am lost. Any input? Pardon the pun.
Best,
Tom

Odd question about a replacement keyboard for HP pavilion G71326DX

I have a G7 1326DX that needs a replacement keyboard. However A frind of mine recently purchased a G72233cl and I noticed that the keyboards were basically the same, however his had a design that I like much better (Key types). My question is, Can I purchase a Replacement keyboard for the G72233cl and install that keyboard into my G71326DX. I have looked into the connection interface, as well as lined up the notches around the edges of the keyboard with pictures of the replacement keyboards, However I want to make sure it will work correctly before I make my Purchase. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello MPnarnell,
The keyboard on your G7-1326dx needs to be replaced, but you want to use a keyboard for a G7-2233cl, is that correct? I will try to help you .
Comparing the keyboard section of the manuals the part number for the keyboard you want to you use doesn’t show in the G7-1326dx list of compatible keyboards. The reason being probably is because it has never been fully tested.
Now both computers are G7’s but they are 2 totally different series of G7’s so the motherboards are probably different as well. This is one of those issues where you would have to test it out and see, I don’t believe it will work but I could be wrong. Here is the part number for the keyboard that came on the G7-2233cl. (699146-001)
If you decided to go ahead and try to change it be sure to check for a BIOS update before doing so.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Odd question about transferring.

Ok, about 2 months ago I had no problems moving my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. So with that bravery I just tried moving iTunes and my library from where it had been to a new bigger drive, and I ended up losing huge chunks of my library. Now, my question is, I still have what I had previously sync'd onto my Pod, is there any way to transfer what is in my iPod "into" iTunes?? Otherwise, I'm going to end up losing a whole day re-importing my CD's back into my library, not to mention lose what I had purchased from my iPod. I had just purchased 2 new TV episodes but in order to get them onto my Pod, I have to sync, and if I do that I'll lose what I have there. Help!!!

*is there any way to transfer what is in my iPod "into" iTunes??*
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 the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. 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
One last thing if your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an iTunes with a different content. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to 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: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever retrieval method you choose, 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 these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Questions about Braille & keyboard

I am thinking of buying a new Macbook. I have two questions
1. If you have a word processing going and you hold down the sdfjkl keys at the same time do you get all six letter printed in different order/same order or do you get different amounts of letters at different times but not 6 letters always.
2. Does the OS system allow you to write braille...can you compose braille alphabet using those six letters above? If so, is there some type of word processing software you have to use?

Usually when you have multiple languages programmed into your keyboard, there is a small globe that will appear at the bottom of your keyboard near the space board. You can press this to toggle back and forth between the languages that you have set up on your iPod. As for the app store keyboard, to my knowledge there is no way to make it tilt horizontally like other applications. Maybe someone else will have an answer on that.

SSMA (Access - SQL 2012) newbie question about new tables

I have successfully run SSMA and moved the back end tables of an Access project to SQL Express 2012.
Some questions:
- if I add a new table to the SQL backend, how do I get it to appear in the Access project?
- if I want to move the whole thing to another computer, how do I go about it?
- do I always have to have the SSMA app installed?
- I can't see an ODBC datasource on the machine
Thanks for some help
CarolChi

Thanks, I was not clear in my questions:
1. Given that from now on the tables should all be in SQL, I think it would be better to create new tables in SQL them there rather than create them in Access and have to keep moving them to SQL with SSMA. So if I create a new table in SQL how can I
see it in Access? Or can I easily create a linked table in Access?
The table created by SSMA have this property:
If I create a new table in SQL and link it I get a more classic ODBC connection:
2. I am happy with SQL backup/restore, attach/detach. But how does Access know where the SQL Database has gone?
3. I thought the migration was a one time task, but from what you say it is an ongoing "linking" app. So I would be better to export my tables and re-link them to get something that can be moved to another network or computer?
4. The SSMA looks very much like an ODBC connection.
This is a new project so I will have to make lots of new tables and also move the whole thing around to different computers, on different networks.

Questions about New Macbook Pro

1. I've heard this system gets hot, but is it only when gaming? I'll mostly be using this for web/chat and photo editing but am wondering if my legs would start to get warm or sweat by using it in say bed.
     1a. Can you keep the machine on your lap while playing games like World of Warcraft?
     1b. Do only parts of the laptop get hot, keeping where you place your hand or more importanly wrist(left 'awsd' keys) cool?
2. How much battery life do you get on average watching a movie(iTunes download or dvd) or just chatting/web?
3. I'd like to say money doesn't matter in this purchase but it does have an effect. Which are smart upgrades and which are things to stay away from?
     3a. 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 or 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
     3b. 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm or 128GB Solid State Drive (Yes, I have read about a lot of the current SSD drives failing)
     3c. MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display or MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display
4. Is it smarter to buy Office and other products with the purchase of this Mac or can they be found for the same/lower price after it arrives?
5. Do most get the AppleCare Protection Plan? And if you have used it how good is the service?
6. Parallels or VMware Fusion?
Sorry for all the questions and/or the long read.. I've done a good bit of looking around for a new laptop and this one keeps popping up as a good choice. If it wasn't for the machine getting hot I might have already bought it.
Thanks in advance for all of your help!
Dan

AppleCare is NOT insurance. Insurance implies coverage with user accidents. AppleCare does not give this kind of insurance. It does give you warranty, which means any manufacturer defects it can detect that are not obviously usage, wear and tear. In addition, it gives you unlimited support for one flat fee for both Apple software issues and hardware issues related to the machine it is bought for. What this sort of support includes, is diagnosing any issues which may arise with the machine, and repairing any that are manufacturer defects. Other repairs will be at cost.
To answer your other questions:
2. How much battery life do you get on average watching a movie(iTunes download or dvd) or just chatting/web?
Movies, the maximum is probably around 2 hours on DVD, 3 to 4 hours from iTunes. The difference is that the DVD requires constant read from the optical drive, and decoding of the movie. With iTunes it is just the decoding.
3. Solid state drives are still in their infancy, and current documentation says that sensitive information should not be put on them. The problem is that there is no way to 100% erase the data on them. Antiglare screens are really the only way to do photography and capture the real color of what you are photographing. Yes, the glossy gives you truer blacks, but the glare you get offsets that benefit if there is anything beyond ambient light in the room.
4. Office is the same price either way. You get a demo version of Office when you buy your Mac. But unless you have a pressing need for 100% compatibility of Office documents, and can deal with the occasional hiccup (I've had none), http://www.neooffice.org/ can handle Excel, Powerpoint, and Word documents without issue. If you find you can't get what you need from that, then invest in Office. But at least give Neo Office, and http://docs.google.com/ a change before jumping into more costly versions of Office applications.
6. A great comparison of all the virtualization engines is here:

Question about new video card from MSI - R7750-PMD1GD5/OC

Hello Folks,
I am afraid I can't find an answer to this anywhere, so I have had to post, even though I bet that somewhere, someone has asked this question before !!!!
I changed by Base Unit PC but kept my old monitors because I like them. I run two Acer AL1917's in extended mode.
Well, thats the problem, I did with the old PC which had a graphics card with two DVI outputs and it was easy to do by using two DVI to VGA converters.
However, the new PC has in it an MSI R7750-PMD1GD5/OC which has only one DVI, one HDMI and one Display Port.
Now, I know what the DVI and HDMI Ports are but have no idea what the Display port is!
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO RUN TWO VGA MONITORS IN EXTENDED MODE with these three outputs?
The monitors are VGA ONLY, so is there any way I can use this display card at all to run two vga monitors in extended mode or should I just eBay it !!!
At the moment I have swapped it out for an old Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 which works fine with two DVI's. But I was rather hoping to be able to use my new MSI card.
Is there any way I can do this please?
Many thanks for any help that anyone is able to give.
With best wishes to all for the New Year Ahead,
Trevor

Still, we shall see. I didn't know it was as simple as a cable because I always thought vga is anologue and HDMI is Digital, n'er the twain shall mix without a converter LOL
Never mind, I love being proved wrong because it means I have learnt something more in this wonderful life

Question about new BIOS on Satellite L20-182

Hi :)
I've got one question: may I install new BIOS 2.20 on my Satellite L20-182 model no. PSL2XE?
If I can't, why users PSL2X can do this? Are there so many differences on both models?
Greetings and sorry for my English - I'n not the best :)

Hi,
just for explanation: the bios you mentioned is the right bios for the machine. Toshiba is not writing the full model number since there is a range of model numbers of the same model, so dont worry, they are not different. Maybe the last digit but this is not important for you.
Why I am knowing this? Because many manufacturers are doing this and I was many times confused when updating bioses from another manufacturer...

Questions about the keyboard

Hi all,
I have set up a Hungarian keyboard in Settings > Keyboard > International keyboard, but I still get the default English keyboard when I write something. What have I done wrong?
Another question, most of the time the keyboard switches between horizontal/vertical position as I tilt the iPod, but this does not seem to work when I want to type in a search term or a review at the app store. Any idea if there's a way to fix this? Does this depend on the app I'm using or on the device?

Usually when you have multiple languages programmed into your keyboard, there is a small globe that will appear at the bottom of your keyboard near the space board. You can press this to toggle back and forth between the languages that you have set up on your iPod. As for the app store keyboard, to my knowledge there is no way to make it tilt horizontally like other applications. Maybe someone else will have an answer on that.

Odd question about sizing...

I work for an LED message center manufacturer and we have run into a problem. We are using a new product to play DVD quality video on but we're trying to do this without connecting a computer to it, opting instead for a DVD player with HDMI output. Problem is the sign is 196x196 so when playing a DVD we only get a small piece of the picture. Is there a way with Adobe Premiere to create a 640x480 black background with a 196x196(or any size for that matter) area to play the movie in? If not would anyone know of a program that could do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm having alot of trouble finding any information like this.

Click on the clip in the timeline and reduce the "scale" in the "Effect Controls" panel. As long as there is nothing on a track below the clip you will automatically get a black border.

Odd question about engraving a shuffle

I received a Shuffle as a gift and noticed he had a message engraved on the clip. This was over two years ago. I'd like to know if he had gotten the message from the engraving gallery or if he made it up himself. The quote is not in the gallery, but since I received the shuffle long ago, it's possible Apple replaced it with something else. I can't find a way to contact Apple about this (by email, I'd rather not call about this); does anyone know how I can email them about this, so I can ask them if the message was ever in the gallery? It's a strange question, but I'm asking because it would make me feel even more special if the guy took the time to write something himself. Of course the thought, gift and engraving together are already signs of affection...poetry would make it even sweeter. Thanks.

If you got it more than 2 years ago it is not a 3rd Generation Shuffle and you are posting in the wrong place.
I doubt they have removed anything from the engraving gallery, which if I recall is a fairly recent option, although I can't be sure when it was put into place since I've never had one engraved. There is no place to email them and it would probably be hard to find anyone who would remember this anyway. So since it is not in the gallery take it on faith it was put there by the giver.
Of course they could have copied it from somewhere else. Have you tried a Google search?

A very odd question about accessing cube via HTTP PUMP

hi there:
Everything was fine a couple of days ago when I used excel to connect to cube. Today, when I use excel -> from Other sources, I can select the AS database but can not see the cube at all... The odd thing is that if I choose to use Existing Connections
which contains the connection to the CUBE before, after put my user id and password, I am able to connect and navigate cube data.
There is a role for the AS database and myself has been granted as Full control ( administrator). I've also switched to SSMS and access cube over there directly, no issues at all.
Question: why excel is not allowing me to see the list of cubes for an AS database???
Thanks

Hello,
How have you setup permissions for the HTPP access. If e.g. IIS and SSAS running on different machines, the permissions settings are a little bit difficult. So may a different user is used and that one may don't have permissions to access the cube.

Question about wireless keyboards

I have a question. On the wirelesss keyboards, are there two usb ports because on one side it looks like theres a power button, but whats on the other side? I hate wires and batteries but Im not sure what to get.

Ha!
I've finally found an answer to someone's question on these forums! If you agree, please click the "solved" button (or whatever it is) so I can finally get a credit for answering one question.
The left and right sides of the wireless keyboard are shown on this page:
http://www.apple.com/keyboard/
Just click the images to enlarge them. It looks to me like the one side of the keyboard has a power button and the other side has a place to insert the batteries.

Several unrelated questions about new MacBook

This is probably bad form, but I thought I'd try to get several newbie questions answered at once.
1) Screen on my new Macbook 2.16 core 2 Duo seems overly bright and almost washed out. I changed the gamma to 2.2 in the DIsplays panel and that helps considerably--is there any downside to running like this?
2) I have heard "glossy" screen mentioned a lot, and mine said it was a "glossy" screen, but isn't just the standard screen, or are there alternative screens for the Macbook?
3) How do I find the build date for this Macbook?
4) I wonder if there's an easy way to get my Win XP installation on Bootcamp on my iMac into a Parallels or VMWare VM on this Macbook?
5) I read that one small advantage of the newer Macbooks is that they have a revised and improved (and slightly smaller) power supply block. Mine looks **** the same as a friend's Macbook Core Duo -- is there some way to check for the current power supply? Machine may have been in Amazon stock for a while for all I know.
6. Doesn't this new Macbook have wireless n? Would there be a significant increase in speed were I to get a new wireless n-capable router/modem (right now I've got a wireless G)?
I'm sure I have another half-dozen, but I'll practice retraint and hope nobody minds my ganging up on you.

Hi Pier,
1) Screen on my new Macbook 2.16 core 2 Duo seems overly bright and almost washed out. I changed the gamma to 2.2 in the DIsplays panel and that helps considerably--is there any downside to running like this?
None that I can think of. Obviously, if you are doing professional image manipulation then you could calibrate the screen, preferably with professional calibrating tools.
2) I have heard "glossy" screen mentioned a lot, and mine said it was a "glossy" screen, but isn't just the standard screen, or are there alternative screens for the Macbook?
The standard screen is matte with glossy available as a free option.
3) How do I find the build date for this Macbook?
Look at the serial number and specifically the first 4 digits. Mine is W8717XXXXXX. This tells me that my build date is week 17.
4) I wonder if there's an easy way to get my Win XP installation on Bootcamp on my iMac into a Parallels or VMWare VM on this Macbook?
The only way is if you have the original Win XP CD. Installation of software on to another computer is, of course, subject to the licensing terms - EULA
5) I read that one small advantage of the newer Macbooks is that they have a revised and improved (and slightly smaller) power supply block. Mine looks ** the same as a friend's Macbook Core Duo -- is there some way to check for the current power supply? Machine may have been in Amazon stock for a while for all I know.
Sorry, don't know but you could pop down to an Apple retail store or dealer and compare the newer power adapters with your one.
6. Doesn't this new Macbook have wireless n? Would there be a significant increase in speed were I to get a new wireless n-capable router/modem (right now I've got a wireless G)?
802.11n can be enabled for free if you have purchased the new Airport Extreme Base Station. Alternatively, if you wish to enable 802.11n but have a third party wireless router you can purchase the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler for Mac from the online store - it's only $1.99.
The following Apple KB document will guide you on how to check if 802.11n is enabled on your MBP:
