OSX Dims Screen based on Content

I've been noticing that my screen appeared to be dimming randomly (or at least it seemed random at first). I search the web and found tons of people complaining about the same behavior, and adjust their energy settings and ambient light settings, but none of it worked. Their Macs kept on occationally changing the screen brightness.
Idleness wasn't the issue: During my tests I was actively using the computer (and I'm plugged in)
Ambient Light: There was no change in ambient light, so it wasn't this either (and I disabled this setting and the behavior persisted).
However, what has changed is the contents of my screen. If I go to a website with really dark graphics, or go full screen on some movies, the screen brightness turns down. I can reproduce this "dimming" effect consistently... and then I found this:
http://www.macrumors.com/2013/01/22/apple-granted-patent-on-methods-for-dimming- screens-based-on-content-needs/
Apple has a patent that allows them to dim screens based on their contents. I am certain this is what is affecting our screen brightness. This is meant to be a power saving feature according to the patent, but it is SUPER annoying. What I can't figure out is how to turn this setting off...
Any help would be great.

Screen-based documents in CS5

Hi all,
Just fired up Flash CS5 to a surprise. My screen-based SWF from years ago will no longer load.
Searching around, I couldn't find an easy answer . . . how does one achieve the equivelant of nested screens in CS5 now?
I have outer chrome that's common to all screens and switch between nested screens to show different shared form screens that get populated with content from a database. Short of duplicating the shared content over and over, how do you get the layered effect I'm after? Does everyone simply jump around on the master timeline? Or does CSS play a role here?

I'm not sure if this will help at all, but there were a couple of Presentation templates added to CS5 that may help answer some questions or generate some ideas. Go to File > New, choose Templates, and go to the Presentations category to find the FLAs.

I am having major problems installing Mountain Lion. After downloading successfully and attempting to install the process froze after restarting - ended up hanging on the OSX Recovery screen. Wouldn't restart properly without me selecting a startup disc.

Three times I went through this same process for the same outcome. I have redownloaded Mountian Lion three times. I removed the Lion install package from the Applications folder in case this was causing a problem. Deleted and remounted the Mountain Lion package each time. Finally got the package to run through the install, restart and begin the file install - at the end it failed and I was left with a blank startup disc and no data. I have backed up. Through the OSX Recovery screen I selected a Lion reinstall - checked my credential against the app store -fine. But then failed on the reinstall. Now doing a recovery from current backup but wondering the **** is going on. Wasted over 24 hours of processor time.

Hi Ram,
Recheck:
1) You have passed 'FORM USER_COMMAND' in 'I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND' while calling f.m. for ALV displa, and
2) You have checked the value of user command, i.e.
FORM USER_COMMAND USING UCOMM LIKE SY-UCOMM SELFIELD TYPE SLIS_SELFIELD.

Why is elements better at photomerge than CC- CC does not appear to automatically fill image based on content but elements does when merging a panorama. Also the stitching is visable in CC but almost perfect in elements- why?

I took 6 panorama shots of a scene and used CC to Photomerge them as one. Couldn't see where to automatic blend the edges and there was 'stitch' lines when the images were merged. So i did the same in Elements 11 and it was perfect. Am i doing something wrong in CC or perhaps not doing something at all?
Any help, please?
Dave

Hi - Thanks for taking the time to reply and i appreciate the remarks- if a little harsh- we all have to start somewhere and i am fully aware of the limitations of Elements which is why i decided to add CC to my software. I can only say that if an inferior quality software from Adobe does the job well then CC must also be suited to doing the same which is why i can only think, from your comments, that i have not done something simple- however- following tutorials to get to the end result should have sufficed- it didn't so perhaps i will consider posting the difference between the two applications- and, perhaps suffer a few more 'harsh' comments. The learning curve is quite steep and i am a visual learner, but i'm also not totally incompetent:)
Kind Regards
Dave Munn

First a clarification: you are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums. You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
I'll give it my best shot anyway.
Few folks in this forum are really familiar with Elements, for which there's a dedicated, totally separate forum.
Different engineering teams, also.
From this perspective, it will be difficult to give you a direct answer to your "why?" question.
Personally, I blend very large panorama shots in Photoshop proper since I can't even remember when without any issues whatsoever, up to and including in Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.
Without being at your computer and without looking at your images, I couldn't even begin to speculate what you are doing wrong in Photoshop, which I suspect you are. The least you could show is post examples from your panoramas that have gone wrong.
I can tell you that panorama stitching requires significant overlap between the individual shots, besides common-sdense techniques like a very solid tripod and precision heads.
The only version of Elements I have ever used for any significant time was Elements 6 for Windows, which I bought in 2008 to use on a PC (I've been an avid Mac user for 30 years). I found Elements so limited and so bad that I successfully demanded a refund from Adobe. IU mention this only to emphasize that I can truly only address your question from a Photoshop (proper) and Mac user point of view. I couldn't care less about Elements, but if you have comparison examples of panoramas processed in both applications, by all means post those two.
Generally speaking Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve, while Photoshop has many hand-holding features for amateurs and beginners.
Perhaps the bottom line is that you should stick with Elements if you personally manage to get better results there.

From SharePoint Content Database, Using SQL-Server Query how to fetch the 'Document GUID' based on 'Content Type'

I want to get all the documents based on content type using SQL Server Query. I know that, querying the content database without using API is not advisable, but still i want to perform this action through SQL Server Query. Can someone assist ?

You're right, it's not advisable, may result in corruption of your databases and might impact performance and stability. But assuming you're happy to do that then it is possible.
Before you go down that route, have you considered using something more safe like PowerShell? I've seen a script exactly like the one you describe and it would take far less time to do it through PS than it would through SQL.

How to change the number of items displayed on the screen based on user input

I need to place a number of input clusters on the user's screen based on the number of input types he will have. Is there an easy way to do this? (Say I have 3 different electrodes, I want to be able to add information for each then take this information and add it to a database, this case adding three new record sets to the database. If I only have one electrode though, I only want one cluster on the screen and only one recordset will be added to the database)
Message Edited by Vitamin on 01-11-2007 12:36 PM

Place your clusters in a 1D array and create a property node for the array. You can use the Number of Rows property to control how many elements are shown. Wire the array into a for loop to index it.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

my problem is when i change the option in the list box, the particular modify group ie, the screen is getting changed only after i press enter, So please suggest me how i can change the screen without pressing enter.

Hi,
without using VRM_SET_VALUES...you just create one data element by going se11....create one domain for it...now give the values in the "value range" tab....and at the time of declaration just write ..
PARAMETERS var1 TYPE <your created data element>
                    AS LISTBOX VISIBLE LENGTH 20
                    USER-COMMAND onli
                    DEFAULT <one value>.
You will get the same effect as list box....and make it mandatory..

Grey Screen in iPad Content Viewer

A number of co-workers and clients have reported that when viewing a folio for the first time on a new device, a grey screen appears instead of the content. In general, the problem is fixed by closing the Conent Viewer in the app tray and restarting the app.
I have only seen the issue once, but it has been reported to me a number of times and while it's no problem for my co-workers, we would prefer that when a client sees a draft of their folio for the first time, they are not fighitng with the software. As my sale person said, "we're losing the 'wow' factor.
Any one else experiencing this issue or any expected fix?

I get it with dual orientation folios in PDF format on iPad and iPhone. but
maybe I experience a different bug ...

Multi-mapping based on content field

Hi guys,
I'm doing a scenario with mult-imapping 1x2, based on content field I'll create message1 or message2. If the source content has both key fields (ex. A = message1 and B = message2) the scenario works well, but if only one key field comes (ex. A to create only message1), an error occurs inside the transformation step of BPM. It seams BPM is waiting for message2 ...
(note: I'm using BPM because one of these messages is an IDoc)
Anyone has faced this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the prompt answers.
I already have the occurrences with 0..1 (optional) and it doesn't work :s If I look into message mapping, I see that message1 and message2 are always 1..1 and there is no way to change it. In the messages tab you can only change the occurrence for the low level of each message1 or message2. Every time I test this mapping the header of message2 is always created even without content and thats the problem and I don't know how to fix it...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Tabbed panel with adjustable/variable height based on content

Is there anyway that you can create a tabbed panel with adjustable/variable height based on content in each tab?

Abhishek,
Thanks for your reply, however, it is not working with Muse. I added the Javascript to the head section and adjusted iframe and it displays as a small square in the upper left hand corner, unable to view the whole page.
Inserted into head section --
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(obj)
obj.style.height = 0;
obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
</script>
inserted as an html object --
<iframe name="MycoSmooth" src="http://www.mycosmooth.com" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="iframe" onload='javascript:resizeIframe(this);' />
Below is the result:
The purpose is to have an independent website run the blogging capabilities, since muse doesn't directly support blogging as of yet.
Since the site is on a different domain, I am running into cross domain issues and it won't get the height of the page. The methods that apparently work use php and I am unsure how that would work in muse, if at all.

Conditional format of one cell based on contents of another cell

Preparing list of appointments for visitors with time for each. There are four possible status categories for visitors based on projected activity and whether they have shown up or not. (A Group Scheduled, A Group Showed, B Group Scheduled, B Group Showed). I've created the calendar in iCal with different calendars, then accessed that through Bento iCal Events. Bento adds the column with name of calendar from iCal. Info is now in Numbers. (iWorks 09)
It shows Title, Start Date, Location, Calendar. I'm adding more fields using Lookup in Numbers drawing on entire data base brought over from Bento. I'm trying to get what info I need, but none that I don't, so the form isn't too crowded and busy.
I would like to be able to conditionally format the Time column based on the contents of the Calendar column. If successful, the color of the Time column would tell me all I need to know about visitor status, and I could hide the Calendar column and clean up the form.
I hope I've described it adequately. Can this be done, and if so, how?
Thanks! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Does it work to format two cells based on contents of one of them?
Conditional formatting of a cell depends on the contents of that individual cell, compared with another value, so no.
But you could use a two-table approach.
In general terms, the technique is to:
• make the original table's cell fill transparent,
• Add a second table to the sheet,
• Set the second table to copy the control values into a column of cells,
• Select the cells in that column of Table 2,
• Apply conditional formatting rules for each possible control value (see below)
• Set the text opacity for these cells to 0 (full transparency),
• Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then use (shift and) the arrow keys to slide Table 2 behind Table 1 to align the highlighted cells with the cells to appear highlighted in Table 1.
• Set the colour of the cell borders on table 2 to none.
Using the information you gave regarding the calendar column, you'll need four rules for conditional formatting of this column. All are of the same format:
Text contains: A Group Scheduled
With the text changed to match each possible entry.
Regards,
Barry
BTW: by changing the width of the formatted column on table 2, you can appear to highlight as many columns as you wish on Table 1.

Screen based document max dimensions

Hi,
I'd like to create a flash screen based document/application
that will automatically load when the CD that contains it is put
into the disc drive of a computer. What do you have to do to make
this happen?
I was also wondering if anyone knew how to make it so that
the flash document automatically opens to fill the full screen of
the monitor. How would this be affected if the user had a wide
screen? Would it better to set the size of the window that the
flash file will open in to an absolute set of values (for example
set the size of the window to 800x600)?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

for full screen, you put the code below in 1st frame of your
movie:
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
for autorun, you need to create a autorun.inf file put in the
root of your cd
