Preview search and auto-scroll

I'm not sure if this is a new bug/feature in Preview since OS X 10.4.5. It's a little bit tricky.
1. Open a PDF file where some pages have a different shape than others. (in my example the cover page was landscape and the rest of the document was portrait.)
2. Search for some text.
3. The draw on the side of the window shows the page numbers. Very cool.
4. Every time you click one, the located text appears in the centre of the screen. Even if the zoom scale fitted the complete width of the document.ANNOYING!
Is it possible that Preview can check the dimensions of the page containing the found words rather than the lowest-common-denominator / greatest-possible-dimensions for the document when scrolling the located text?? Please???

Have ipod nano first generation...want "search" and fast scroll from second

hi i was just asking if anyone knew if it was possible to get an update for a ipod nano first generation that allows you to have "search" and the scroll by letter function on the new ones. I have updated my ipod nano all the way to the most recent one, but there is no search function or fast scroll.

Unless your iPod is one of the Late 2006 upgraded 30GB or 80GB iPods or a 2nd Generation Nano, you don't have the search function. It was not added to existing devices in any of the subsequent updates.The original versions cannot be updated to the specification of the later versions.

Images with [u]Preview[/u] and the Scroll Tool

Preview has been my favorite application for openning images and PDFs on the fly becuase of its quick launch time, simple interface, and key-command functionality. However, when viewing image files, some of its functions are not available. Only the select (cropping) tool isn't greyed out. I would very much like to be able to use the scroll (pan) tool as it is how I'm using to seeing large scale documents and plans.
Does anyone know how to make this happen?

Hi Dan,
Yes my 'Scroll Tool' under Tools is greyed out too. I checked in Preview Help and came up with this:
Mac OS X 10.4: Scrolling around an image in Preview
In Mac OS X 10.4, you can scroll around an image in Preview easily in several different ways (scrolling is only possible when the image doesn't completely fit inside the Preview window):
Hold down the space bar and your mouse button at the same time, then scroll at will.
If you have an Apple Mighty Mouse or a third-party mouse with a scroll wheel, you can use the mouse's wheel to scroll around. To scroll horizontally with a third-party mouse, hold the Shift key while scrolling.
Use your keyboard's arrow keys. (On my iBook I had to hold the alt/option key for this to work, then it only did so slowly)
Drag the scroll bar on the bottom or side of the Preview window.
On some PowerBooks, you can use the trackpad for scrolling.
Hope this helps.

[SOLVED] aterm and auto-scroll-down when typing

I've been using aterm for a while now, and before that urxvt.
What bothers me about aterm that I was very used to in urxvt was that, when you have scrolled up a bit, it doesn't jump to the bottom when you start typing.
Is there any way for aterm to behave like this?
Solved: I just found out about the scrollTtyOutput and scrollTtyKeypress options for .Xdefaults

Hi jzola and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Does this only occur when typing SMS messages or does it occur with BBM messages as well?
Thanks.

Playhead limited info and auto scroll

Anyone else having issues with the skimmer info? Creating a music video and it does not seem to show you how far in the song you are etc when you scrub along.
Also, when playing clips in my timline, the playhead does not auto-move with the playing of the clips so you see the playhead disappaer off the side of the timeline, or below it. You have to manually scrub as the clips plays to follow the playhead.
Anyone else notice this or have a workaround?
Thanks

I have been looking into this aswell as I remember this feature being part of Final Cut Pro 5. Although I have read that it was a feature that Apple removed to save on RAM.

Content Search and 'Items Matching a Tag' Web Part Not Displaying Results Shown in Preview

Hi
I've been trying to set up both the Content Search and Items Matching a Tag Web Parts with the same issue. In both cases I can create a query which displays the expected results in the Search Result Preview pane but no results are returned when browsing
the page.
I'm a Site Collection administrator
tried viewing the page in IE8, Chrome and Firefox
another user account with Full Control permissions on the site results in the same issue
I've reindexed the site (which has completed as other alterations on the content are now being returned in the normal search results)
I've tried removing and re-adding the offending web parts
The queries in both web parts are pushed back to the most simple possible - ie all documents in the current site collection for the Content Search query and 'Current site collection + Don't restrict by any tag' in the Items Matching a Tag
I haven't touched the display templates or made any other alterations AT ALL - this is a virgin site collection beyond documents in a library
Does anyone have any ideas?

I was able to make this do what I needed it to.

How do you enable Auto Scroll in a sequence pane, and MIDI devices?

Hello,
I am just getting used to Garage Band for the first time. I am finding that Garage Band is much easier to deal with than Mark Of the Unicorn from a musical standpoint.
I am now converting my many MIDI sequences to GB. I have run into these three issues that I cannot seem to figure out.
1. I have both the "Main Secuence" pane and the "Piano Roll/Score" pane arranged vertically. But the Secuence pane auto scrolls, as the timing progresses, but the "Piano Roll/Score" pane does not. How do I get these two windows to enable/disable auto scroll?
2. How do I select from a starting bar to ending bar, for a given track, coping it, and pasting it to another track in the another track's sequence point?
3. How do I add other MIDI decices that I have pysically connected, and assign specific tracks to these physical MIDI divices and their defined Timbers?
Thanks in Advance.
Jeff Cameron

Thank you very much, Cristoph!
With your help, you have answered both questions 1 and 3.
Concerning question 2, I can see that when I click on the track header, the entire track is selected, but I am trying to physically select from one bar to another in that track.
I've tried clicking on the start bar and draging to the end and releasing. The whole track is still selected.
I've tried holding down the Shift key and doing the same. Still the whole track is still selected.
I guess I am missing the basics of marking and selecting the start and end point from within a basic track.
I'm already much farhter along with your help, and I appreciate your help, very much!

Mail Drag and Drop to mailboxes not auto-scrolling

When dragging a mail message to the sidebar and the mailbox I want to drag it to is not in sight, on earlier OSes, I used to be able to drag and hold to the top or bottom of the sidebar and it would auto-scroll so I could drop the message where I wanted. On Yosemite, no auto-scrolling happens. Is this just me or are other experiencing the same problem and/or does someone have a solution?

beezaman,
I also experience this issue. If I turn off or Hide if you will the Favorites Bar and the Toolbar then I'm able to drag a file to scroll up or down in the sidebar. As I know hiding the toolbars isn't something many people would want to do, I would encourage sending Apple feedback about this issue. You can do so at the following link: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
For me a solution for now would be to use the scroll whilst dragging feature of the trackpad. Click and drag a message over the sidebar and then whilst still holding down the left click I can scroll up or down using the trackpads two finger scroll.
Hope that helps,
Weston

When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items.

When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items. I have already cleared off and made enough disc space. Unsure what the issue could be.

Logout from your iTunes store account on that device and then log back in to see if that helps

Why does snagit auto scroll not work in firefox version 3.6.8 and can it be fixed

I have used Snagit v9.1 with Firefox for a long time through many updates but when I updated to Firefox version 3.6.8 the auto scroll stoped working, I did go back to an earlier version of Firefox and it worked OK.

How to initiate auto search and import

When I first started iTunes, it initiated a auto search and import of files to my library, but it got interrupted by a software update and thus terminated the import process. How do I re-initiate that auto import?
Thank you.

Q10 search remains on a contact after search and call - any way to auto close?

Hi,
I'm just starting to try out a q10 for work purposes and one issue I ran into several times today...
After typing in a contact name (to search) and then selecting call or email, making call or writing email and the turning screen off:
The next time I turn the phone on to search for anything, the contact I had searched before appears. Usually after a few button presses I realize it and by then I'm stuck in editing that contact.
Is there a way to have the search close after the call/email ?
Or maybe have it reset after a while ?
Or, even better would be a gesture I can use from when the screen is off to activate screen and start a new ?
On that last point, depending on the state that I left the phone in it seems I must to do different things to perform a new contact search...
For example search is showing a contact already and I'm not on the search screen:
Swipe up or power button to activate Press a key to start a search Swipe left to leave the contact that was displayed by search
If search is not showing a contact then I just swipe up and type a name
Also, different topic but I am really hoping there is a simple solution here: is there a rapid way to jump straight into the hub?
Sometimes I need to swipe up to turn on, swipe up to exit an app the swipe right swipe right and swipe right to get into the hub. It feels kind of disorienting since it's not always the same procedure and I'd like these things to be "muscle memory."
Thanks,
Dave

after youve called the contact and it opens with their name again just tap cancel on top right of screen and it puts you back to the first person in your contacts list.
its the only way ive found out how to close the cotacts name.

Auto-scrolling of list view in Finder windows sometimes doesn't work

I've noticed a minor bug in 10.4 that doesn't seem to show up in 10.3.9, and I thought I'd comment on it here because it's mildly annoying, and I'm not sure that anyone at Apple is aware of the issue.
My Pictures folder is pretty large -- I have over 6,000 items in it, some of which are themselves folders. I've got this folder set to list view. My typical usage pattern is to open a Finder window for my Pictures folder, start typing the first few characters of a file name, and then search from there. In 10.4.3 and later (up to and including 10.4.6 as of this writing), if the file in question is outside the viewport of the Finder window, the thumb on the scrollbar will jump to the correct location, but the actual viewport won't scroll to match; therefore, the file that gets highlighted isn't visible.
The work-around is to manually scroll the contents of the window so that I'm "closer" to the file I'm looking for; alternately, I can type characters to get the ball rolling, and then hit the up or down arrow key a couple times (once won't do the trick) which will force the viewport to jump to the correct scroll location. Using this second method, I then have to move the selection back to the file, which is annoying since it's forcing me to use extra keystrokes.
Interestingly enough, if I am careful and click on the scrollbar thumb without moving it too much (after typing the first few characters of the filename I'm looking for), the viewport will usually "snap to" the appropriate position. This suggests that the logic to auto-scroll the contents of a Finder window got subtly broken between Panther and Tiger. It just seems weird to me that the scrollbar thumb would jump without the viewport following suit automatically.
This wasn't a problem in 10.3.9. I realize that we're being encouraged to use Spotlight and other search features, but since my pictures directory is already an alphabetic list view of files, why should I be forced to do a Spotlight search when I know what it is I'm after?
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I've been having the same problem (though I haven't looked at the console yet to verify the same exact error).
There doesn't seem to be a situation that I can identify to cause the problem (i.e. waking from sleep mode), so it's difficult to reproduce consistently. The error seems to happen randomly. Last night I was getting the error every time I sent a single message. So I'd create and send a message, and then the next message I'd try to create or reply to, I couldn't. I'd have to quit Mail and start it again to gain functionality.
When I do have the problem where the compose window isn't created when replying, I also can not start a new message, note, or forward a message. Basically, no new windows can pop up besides the windows that are already there in Mail. When I quit mail, every window I tried to create by replying, making a new message, or forwarding, appears in the draft folder, just before the program closes. Then, the next time I open Mail all the windows appear that I tried to create, with no text in them. Very strange. Looks like this poster has a similar problem.

I'm curious if this is a bug, or something our machines just can't handle? I see that we all have very similarly spec'd PowerBooks.
