Opacity and Windows Flip behaviour for Sticky Notes

I really like the new Sticky Notes application, but I would like that it would have opacity options, just like the old sticky notes sidebar gadget on Vista. My sticky notes look really out of place in my desktop with all my semi-transparent gadgets, and they block my wallpaper.
Also, could it be possible to remove them from the Windows Flip (alt-tab) windows? They don't appear in Flip3D, so there is no reason they would also appear in regular Flip.

You can move the file from the system gadgets folders to your user gadgets forders and edit the html of the gadget to do things like transparency.

Change Author Property for Sticky Note

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
I want to change my name from "Kevin" to "Kevin Stecyk" as the author on my Sticky Notes.
I have tried opening the Annotations Panel and right mouse clicking on the Sticky Note. Unfortunately, "Kevin" is in gray and can't be changed.
When I create a Sticky Note, I can right mouse click on the Sticky Note and change my name to Kevin Stecyk. However, on the next note, I am back to just Kevin. I can even change my name and select "Make Properties Default". Again, once I create a new Sticky Note, I am back to just Kevin.
How do I change the author property for Sticky Note (and others) and have that change stick?

- Go to Edit - Preferences - Comments and untick the box that says "Always
use log-in name for author name".
- Restart Acrobat.
- Create a new comment, edit it and set it as the new default.

Compatibility issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0?comcom

You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

I have the same issue. An iTunes help page (iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support) suggested I hold down shift and control when clicking to open iTunes, which opens iTunes fine for me. That would mean the problem is in the third party plug-ins that work with iTunes. However, the help pages did not say what to do with the plug-ins once I knew that was the issue. The pages said to find the plug-ins and move them to the Desktop, which I did. That's where the help pages stopped, which is ridiculous. Does anyone know what to do from there?

How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
Platform: Windows 8 PC
Version: Acrobat 8
If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
Thanks,
Joyce.

Out the gate you've a problem.
The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
"End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
Be well...

I'm getting popup notices that Firefox has a problem, and Windows is looking for a solution; then it closes Firefox and says Windows will let me know if it finds a solution. No crash report window comes up.

Firefox is my default browser on my new laptop, with OS Windows 7. I've now had several instances where a Windows popup comes up saying Firefox has developed a problem and may have to close. It also indicates Windows "is looking for a solution to the problem." No solution is found, however, and Firefox is forced to close, with the happy notice that Windows will let me know if it finds a solution to the problem. If there is any tech data on the crash, I'm not sure where to find it, and no Firefox crash report window comes up. I thought it was an anomaly the first time, but this has now occurred at least 4 times in the past several days.

See:

Itunes launches fine however I cannot connect to the Itunes store. It says that Itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution.

Everything seems fine until I try to access the ITunes store. Then I get a message that ITunes has stopped working and that Windows is looking for a solution. Then it tells me that no solution has been found and closes down Itunes.
I can still sync music / podcasts to my ipod and iphone. I am still getting podcast downloads automatically for the ones I have subscribed to.
This is the first time this issue with not being able to access the Itune stores has happened to me. I was just there 2 nights ago.

Playbook and Windows XP : Media Options are not available

Hi, hoping someone can help me as two lengthy calls to RIM have yielded no results.
I am running Windows XP SP3 with spec well above the min requirements for Blackberry desktop software, of which I downloaded the latest version from RIM's site today.
Software recognises the PB and connects fine (displays PIN etc) yet I get two different errors:
1) Device Options > Media
"Media options are not available". A problem occured while attempting to connect to your Blackberry device
2) File > Get Started (dragging and dropping files)
"Media services are not available". A problem occured while attempting to connect to your Blackberry device
I've redownloaded the BDM software twice (both options for PC > and Sync >) with no result. I've tried different USB ports (same wire) and the same problem.
I notice when right clicking on the Device Manager > Properties that I see under Volumes "Internal Storage Not Mounted" which I doubt is helping.
Playbook Storage and Sharing Options have fiel sharing turned on, and UBS connections = Auto Detect (tried "Connect to Windows") and no result.
Any ideas?

I may have a workaround for all you fellow sufferers.
In your playbook tap the information icon (uppermost right corner). Tap about and where it says view information about your tablet tap the down arrow and select network. There you will find one or two IPV4 addresses one for usb the other for wifi.
In Windows (7 don't know about XP or Vista click on start and in the search bar type the following
run \\either IPV4 address.
With any luck, Windows explorer will pop up giving you access to your playbook for file transfers.
Once you have done that, and if you prefer a two panel file manager as I do for file transfers, download and install a program called FreeCommander. This program will allow you to access a network drive from somewhere in its top menu (can't recall where at the moment and I'm not in Windows). Up will pop a screen asking you for a drive letter to be assigned (take your pick) and a location. In this area type \\either IPV4 url\media. You should now be able to access this drive from FreeCommander and easily transfer files to and from your playbook and computer.
Don't guarantee that this will work for you but it has for me.

Download and Installation of attachments for SAP notes

Hi friends I had implemented note 1284243(CPF Submission Number(CSN) changes effective from 01.01.2009) successfully.as per note solution i had updated support package. eventhough as per note i have to install of attachements for SAP notes.i found that 'Attachemnt' with .sar extenstion for 600 version.
How can i implement that 'attachment'?very urgent.thanks

hello nani,
you have to extract first the SAR files using the program SAPCAR.EXE. you can download it from the SAP support portal to your DEV server.
then in windows command prompt, run (just make sure you are pointed to the corrected directory where you have put the SAPCAR.EXE):
sapcar -xvf <name of your SAR file>
usually, it would extract two corresponding files: the R and the K files.
put the R file in your data (\usr\sap\trans) folder and the K file in your cofiles folder (\usr\sap\trans).
after which, go to STMS -> Import Overview (F5) -> DEV
then choose Extras -> Other Requests -> Add
type the name of the transport request in the Transp. Request field (this name is quite the same as the file name of your R and K files). then press enter.
the system would ask you if you want to add the transport request into the import queue.
choose Yes.
then, you can now start importing the transport request by the usual method (clicking the TR number and choosing the Import Request <truck> button).
hope this helps.
regards,
Albert

Print and even print preview comes out unreadable. Do i need to change any internal print options. My printer works with the old firefox and windows internet explorer for the SAME document. I only have a problem printing while in firefox 4.0.

My printouts from web pages using the previous firefox and internet explorer products work.

There's a bug in 4.0b12, which is fixed in 4.0RC.
Open '''Help > About Firefox''' and it should check for and install the update. If it doesn't, use the '''Check for Update''' button in that "About" dialog.

Button for sticky notes

I want to make a button on a form that would open up a sticky note so it could be added to a form. Next I would like to change the look of a signature field to look like a button of my design.
Thanks

Re sticky note: You can attach a script to the button that adds a new sticky note, somewhere on the page, using the addAnnot() command.
But wouldn't it be easier to just use the built-in Sticky Note tool?

Magic Mouse and Windows 7: Discovered but will not Connect.

Windows 7 (W7) can "Discover" the Magic Mouse (MM) but doesn't seem to be able to connect. Here is asolution.
1. Turn Off your MM.
2. Restart W7
3. Connect a "Wired" USB mouse. (My Track Pad would not Right Click.)
4. Open "Hidden Icons". (In the Right lower corner of your dispaly, in the "Tray" is a small "Triangle" icon. Mouse over this and you will see that this is the "Show Hidden Icons" icon. Click on it.)
5. You should now see a Bluetooth icon. This is the "Bluetooth Devices" icon. Click on it.
6. A Pop Up Menu appears. Click on "Add a device."
7. Turn on your MM.
8. Your MM should appear in the "Select a device to add to this computer." window.
9. It will probably just say "Mouse" or "Bluetooth Mouse" If you have used your MM before on your Mac, it may display your Mac's "Short User Name". This means that W7 has "Discovered" your MM.
10. Right Click on your displayed device.
11. Click on "Add device..."
12. Click on "Properties"
13. Select/Click on the "Services" tab.
14. Tick the "Box" for "Driver for mice, keyboard, etc. (HID)"
15. Click "OK" and exit.
Your MM should now work! Sort of!! Left & Right Click works and Up and Down scrolling works. Right & Left scroll does not.
Also, you will note that your MM becomes "Inactive" after a few seconds of disuse. Just give it a single Left click to get it going again. I've posted a solution to this problem in another post.

Thanks! That fixed my issues with my Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Win7.

X121e and Windows XP: only PIO mode (not DMA)

I installed Windows XP on a thinkpad X121e. After actualizing all drivers from Lenovo I found out why the whole system was very slow: The internal hard disk is running only in PIO mode and reaches only 3 MB/s which is far to slow to work. I did not had this issue for years; normally a hard disk should run in DMA mode without any problems.
I tried several things:
- deinstalling the driver
- reinstalling chipset driver)
- changing the hard disk
- resetting the storage controller with a script (dmareset.vbs) found in the net
but I did not find any solution. The PIO mode is still on.
I did install the XP system in SATA legacy (compatibility) mode. I could not try installing windows XP in ACHI mode because I did not find any ACHI driver for this chipset (HM65) at intel (only for Intel 5 series chipset exist F6 driver).
What could be the reason for the problem that DMA mode is not recognized by XP? Is it an issue for Lenovo (e.g. Bios update necessary) or does it have to do with Intel (problem with chipset driver)?
Thanks for any help,
Thorsten
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi thoral,
I don't know if it will fix the P-I/O issue, but there is an AHCI driver for your machine on the Lenovo support site:
Intel SATA Controller AHCI Driver

IPod and Windows: Demuxing video for transfer??

I have been working on this for almost a week now downloading all sorts of crap that i read on this forum but to no avail. Can any one help me?! I have Windows XP MCE and i can rip the video fine into avi, mpeg2, or mpeg, and videora will convert it to the right size and format but when it does it loses the audio. Now i know this has something to do with "demuxing" but i cant find a single program to do that for a windows machine please throw me a freakin bone here!

Your are converting one muxed format to another. QT and similar applications do not deal with transcoding of muxed material and may or may not support playing them. MPEG based applications, on the other hand were written to specifically handle these muxed formats. While I am not a Windows user, it is my understanding that the Videora Converter is of the latter group and is quite capable of handling the ripped files directly, so I am wondering why you are bothering to transcode to an intermediate format before converting to an iPod compatible file.

Ipod Touch and Windows 7 64 Bit - Itunes not recognizing

I have Windows 7 64 bit operating system. I have been struggling with getting my Itunes and Ipod touch to work together - somewhere an update or upgrade screwed things up.
Right now, I have Itunes 10 64 bit installed on my computer. When I plug in the Ipod touch to sync, I get a message in Itunes telling me that this Ipod requires the 64 bit Itunes and I need to remove and reinstall the 64 bit version of Itunes.
Needless to say, I've removed and reinstalled the 64 bit version 3 times. Still won't recognize my Ipod Touch.
HELP!
HP Desktop

Hey!!
Well ... After about 3 months of searching, going to the apple Genius bar... (seriously they wanted me to delete my stuff... I couldn't live without my books I downloaded from drinkmalk.com which is now defunct)
So.. I am running a Dell Studio 1557 Windows 7 (no SP installed yet), 64 Bit and I own a 3rd Generation Ipod Touch, 32 Gig and had many of the same problems. In my case... I was able to update software, but I couldn't sync music onto my ipod or transfer purchases I would get: Internal Device error, operation failed... etc etc.. .every sync error you can think of...
MAGIC FIX (For me.. and other users)
1. There is a known bug that says its a chipset issue (Just google Ipod sync chipset issues and realize you aren't alone)... Most likely you don't Have a PCI card slot to put a new usb thing on... so.. that is a no go...
2. SOLUTION (that worked for me) - UPDATE THE BIOS on your PC. If you go to your computer manufacturer's driver site... you can search for these updates. Chances are... you have the version that was installed on your computer that is out of date (its not one of those things that automatically updates). For the most part, you never really need to update it since it doesn't affect regular functioning... most people update it on the advice of a technician. Either way, I went to the Dell support site, looked up my laptop and found the install file.
WARNING BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVE AHEAD OF TIME IF YOU DECIDE TO DO THIS!! ALSO, RESEARCH HOW TO MAKE A BIOS RECOVERY DISK IN THE CASE IT CRASHES.. BETTER YET, CONSULT YOUR LOCAL GEEK FOR SUPERVISION, IF FOR ANY REASON THE BIOS UPDATE FAILS AND IT DOES HAPPEN SINCE WE KNOW PC's are WONKY... YOU MAY RISK BRICKING YOUR COMPUTER... Just google "Bios Update Failure" to see the horror stories..
However.. that said and done.. I updated it ... made the mistakes above and was able to get my computer back by leaving the battery out for an hour, pressing the power button for 30 seconds and restarting ... after the failure scare... saved me 200 bucks from dell customer service
Good News: With the updated bios... SYNC WORKS PERFECTLY!! I can put music on, transfer stuff out... no errors!! =) JOY!
