Option-Tab in Terminal - what does it do?

I accidentally pressed Option-Tab while in the terminal and got the cryptic prompt:
Display all 1479 possibilities? (y or n)
I hit "n" but later decided to hit "y" and I get a list of something, which includes such curious items as RezWack and mongrel_rails (yes I know what they are). Is this simply a list of all the available commands?
Is this documented?

As "Cole Tierney" said, it is just the shell command completion action.
Option-Tab is being seen as just Tab.
If you want to see what the Terminal sees when you type a key, you can use
cat -vt
When I do this, I get the same value with Tab and Option-Tab

What happens when I ctrl+right click on a tab header? What does "(*)" mean?

When I ctrl+right click on a tab header, there appears "(*)" before the title of the tab header. I don't see any change in the behavior or properties of the header. What's happend? What does it mean?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Ctrl+Right click on tab header

That is not a built-in feature of Firefox, but is part of the Tab Mix plus add-on.
What it means is the tab has been selected for merging.
To see what it does have 2 Firefox windows open, in one of them open several tabs then select a few of them so that they have "(*)" displayed in the tab. Now use the Tab Mix Plus merge window option, the selected tabs will be merged with the other Firefox window, and the unselected tabs will just be closed.

ITunes apps tab, list view, what does the 4 symbol mean?

In iTunes, in the Library section on the left, with the Apps category selected, I see all my downloaded apps as icons. When I choose List from the iteims across the top, the view changes to an apphabetical list. Next to the name of each app is a symbol - a rectangle containing a numberal and a + sign. Most of my apps show 4+, others 12+, and a few 17+. Can't figure out what the symbol means. If you know, I'd be grateful for an explanation. Thanks.

How are you getting the list view? All I can see are my icons on the right. Nothing shows up on the left side under list view.
Thanks!

When I open a second tab in Firefox, it does not go to my home page. Instead it goes to a page that displays what looks like a collection of pages (or links) that I have visited in the recent or distant past. I would much rather have it go to my home page which is much more useful to me. I have tried to change this in 'Options' but with no luck. Please fix this.

What does the "remove option : press C" do in IMG 1.9?

I've noticed that you can press the "c" button to remove the option of a program in IMG 1.9.
What does it do? I don't see anything happening.
Is there a IMG 1.9 guide online somewhere? IMG 1.9 seems to have new features, and I'd like to have a better idea of what they are.
Solved!

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

I am about to buy a MacBookPro in Singapore. When I reach the "Configure your 13-inch MBP w/ Retina display" page I don't have the option of selecting a Keyboard. Instead, it says: Backlit Keyboard (Int'l English). Do you know what does that mean?

I want to buy a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display in Singapore through the web http://store.apple.com/sg/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MGX72ZP/A&step=config#hard ware and want to know what does Backlit Keyboard (Int'l English) mean.
Does it include other letters or symbols other than the latin qwerty ones?
I ask this question because it doesn't give me the option to select a language.
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks a lot!

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3

What does "Camera Profile" mean in the Camera Calibration tab in PSE 12?

I recently made the switch to edit exclusively in Photoshop Elements 12. I need help understanding what I need to select for the "Camera Profile" drop down in the Camera Calibration tab. I shoot with a Canon Mark II. Will the camera profile selection affect my prints at all? First, what does the camera profile mean? I go back and forth between Adobe Standard and Camera Standard. Sometimes I get truer color with Camera Standard than the Adobe Standard for my outside photos. I'm so confused as to which one I should be editing with. I just want to be sure this is not going to affect my prints because I just recently ordered a print from Millers and it was saturated, shadowing and skin had orange tone. I have never had a problem with my calibration and have always ordered from Millers with no problem. This is the first print I ordered after editing exclusively with PSE 12 so I'm wondering if I have setting wrong. Thanks so much!

Will the camera profile selection affect my prints at all?
It will affect prints to the same extent that it affects the monitor display, but no more than that. The differences that you see in color rendering when switching between profiles will be embodied in the jpg that you eventually make for sending to the print lab, but will not in itself cause the discrepancies you describe.

What does "Offline (filter unavailable)" mean in the "fx" tab?

I opened a project that had been dormant for a few weeks. Uneter the "fx" adjustment tab, the usual "Motion" and "Opacity" are listed as applied effects. A third one is "Offline (filter unavailable)". I do nor recall what additional effect I applied, if any.
What does it mean? Is there something I need to fix?
Thanks.

Bill,
As Steve posted, I have never seen that either.
Besides the Offline (filter unavailable), there is a triangle (just to the left). If you twirl that open, do you see any parameters? If so, then a screen-cap of those might allow someone to recognize what that Effect is, or is supposed to be.
Now, you mention Opacity and Motion. Those are Fixed Effects, and are automatically created and applied to every Clip, Still, Title, etc., when dragged to the Timeline. They start with there parameters at a default, though they can be changed.
The only thing that I can think of is that maybe a 3rd party Effect was added, and for whatever reason, it's no longer available - could have been deleted, could have become corrupt, could be something else?
Was this Project begun, and worked on, on this same machine? If so, then I would wonder what that Effect was, and why it is no longer available to PrE. If it was started on another machine, then it could well be a 3rd party Effect, like maybe Neat Video, or one of the commercial (not included in PrE's installation) NewBlue FX Effects.
Good luck, and let us know if that triangle reveals anything.
Hunt
[Edit] You have not deleted any AEX, or FX files, have you? Most of the Effects have one of those extensions.
"As Steve posted, I have never seen that either."
That is three of us!
"there is a triangle (just to the left). If you twirl that open, do you see any parameters? If so, then a screen-cap "
"maybe a 3rd party Effect was added"
I have not done that.
"Was this Project begun, and worked on, on this same machine? If so, then I would wonder what that Effect was, and why it is no longer available to PrE."
Yes, same machine. With a three week lag in the project, I fogot what effects I may have applied. The light was terrible in some clips, so I may have tried to adjust for it.
"You have not deleted any AEX, or FX files, have you?"
No.
Again, everything seems to be working. This is more of a puzzle than a problem!
Thanks.

If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

Hi,
It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line. However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
At the top is the Recipients Bar (See View Menu when Text Chat is Open).
This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
They have an @Mac.com name and Jabber ID (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

The new 5.0.1 version does not open new pages in new tabs when the feature is checked in options\tabs. How do I fix it?

When I check the feature in Tools\Options\Tab
"Open new windows in a new tab instead" it does not do so. New windows are launched in the existing tab.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
