Previewing links on a non-force touchpad

As you are probably aware, the new early 2015 rMBP and the New MacBook use a force touchpad which, when force clicked, allows, among other things, for a feature called “link preview”. It is described by Apple as “Link previews: Force click a link in Safari or Mail to see an online preview of the webpage” which you may find below:
Using a Force Touch trackpad - Apple Support
I own a prior generation rMBP that does not have force touchpad running on Yosemite 10.10.3 with Safari 8.0.5 and I occasionally previewed links by chance. I researched the web and tried to find how I could do this to no avail.
Does anyone know how I can use preview links on a non-force touchpad?
Thanks!

I am unable to preview on an external monitor in the trial version, although I could with 1.5. I'm firewire out to a Sony DSR-11 which does give preview in Premiere Pro 2 and After Effects 7.
In Edit>preferences>audio/video out, it is recognising the Sony, but reports "unknown" as status.
Can anyone please tell me what I'm missing. Thanks

Dynamic Linking fails aerendercore non-responsive.

I sent this bug to Adobe:
******BUG******
Concise problem statement: Dynamic Link Server fails to connect in Media Encoder--aerendercore in non-repsonsive state.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Usually happens after using Media Encoder several times in a row to attempt the render of an AE sequence either by sending the sequence to ME from AE OR by trying to dynamic link to the sequence from ME.
Is fairly reproducable here
Results: Nothing added to cue or Dynamic Link Server never shows results.
Expected results: For either method to work as designed.
Force killing the process, aerendercore, (which shows as non-responsive in the Activity Monitor) allows normal operation as expected for a while.
Dynamic links suck, you know that don't you?

I took a look at Apple's source code changes to Cyrus IMAP, which is working with Open Directory. I did a diff against the original 2.2.12 sources using FileMerge and I see that Apple added code to look in Open Directory for user name and pass. So this explains why IMAP works but sendmail does not.
A pertinent question at this point is: Has anyone ported sendmail to Mac OS X Open Directory, similar to what Apple did with IMAP? If so, it would save me from trying to do it myself. I can probably merge the IMAP additions into sendmail, and this would allow Workgroup Manager accounts to send SMTP using SASL authentication.
Alternatively, the easier path seems to be to create a separate database for sendmail SASL, which isn't too far from what they recommend anyway.
No comments from anyone?

Preview Links not working

Hello Everybody.
Whenever I do a preview of my website, for example, if I do a preview of an "about us" page, it works fine, but when I click on "about us" from its own like on the "home" page it shows up all...gone.
I Will post pictures below
The picture on the right is from when I access from link.
The picture on the left is when I preview that exact page.

Looks like broken paths to CSS and images. But we can't be sure without seeing your code.
Did you define your local site folder in DW before you started this project?

Also, don't use spaces in folder or filenames. This can create problems. If you want to separate words, use a - hyphen or _underscore.

Making a link with a non editable area

Hello I have made this cool looking design in photo shop and
sliced it up and then somehow made the whole i.e. the images non
editable enough to use the hotspot to make a link. Is their a way I
can highlight and drag any area on a web page and make a link? My
webpage is www.wordfree.net I want to make links for my
navigation.

> Is their a way I can highlight and drag any area on a

No. Your entire approach is wrong, though, made worse by the
use of
ImageReady's HTML....

<table id="Table_01" width="1281" height="1025"
border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">

Premiere CS6 Preview Link Breaking

I am in a facility that has about 20 Mac machines on a network. We all work off files located on a SAN. I am experiencing a problem with getting preview files to stay linked when the project is open on a different machine.
I ran a bunch of tests with a rendered section on my own machine. I rendered a section, saved, closed reopened on the same machine. Renders were fine. I then changed the location of the project file several times, and the renders were STILL fine, so the project path didn't make a difference (by the way, the scratch disk location is set to a folder on our SAN, NOT the default "Same as project").
Then I ran tests by rendering a section, saving and reopening that project on a different machine, and the renders disappear. Red bars all accross. Has anyone else experienced this? I tried combinations of checking and unchecking the Media cache box, as well as pointing that path to a location on the SAN instead of a local user application support folder, still no luck. Without a distributed processing option, we need to be able to render, say, overnight so the exports don't take forever.
Also, I have double checked to make sure the preview files are in fact there, and they haven't moved. I can play them in qt or quick look)
Thoughts?
Most of our machines are of the following configs
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Premiere Pro 6.0.2
Codec: ProRes LT 720 59.94
16GB RAM 1066 Mhz
Quad-Core 2.4 Ghz 2008 models
GeForce 8800 512MB (a couple boxes have Quadro 4000s 2GB, ran the tests across both configs...same problem across those options)

Premiere Pro can work with network storage if it's mounted as a network volume (Mac OS), and the OS-level device driver does not mark the volume as removable. Are you set up this way?

Non-synaptics touchpad

Hi,
I own an external USB touchpad.
Xorg doesn't see this touchpad as a synaptics device but as a simple mouse.
So, it seems impossible to configure it as synaptics but only as a regular mouse.
This touchpad provides those features (seem to be hardwired):
- vertical scroll by dragging finger on the right edge
- left-click emulation by tapping on the area
- right-click emulation by tapping on the top right corner
- double click, drag'n'drop
I'm desperately short of the middle click on this touchpad.
I even tried to emulate middle click by tapping with 2 fingers simultaneously (One on the top right corner and the other on the area elsewhere) but, in vain.
I wonder if it's possible to use a combo keyboard/touchpad in order to simulate middle-click (e.g. Win+right-click).
Any idea?
Regards.

I'm afraid that my touchpad device can't be seen as a synaptics or alps device.
Because of what my system reports.

So, as you can see, the system sees it as a regular mouse.
I don't know if there a way to disguise my touchpad as a synaptics or alps device.
Maybe the truth is elsewhere (or not)

How to link to a non-youtube video

I'm having great difficulty linking to a video....a Non-youtube video. I have a video on another platform that has html embed codes, but they don't seem to be working in Acrobat. Does Adobe not allow linking to non-youtube videos? What are the parameters acrobat needs in order to display a non-youtube linked video?
btw: I know I can embed the video in the doc, but that is not what I need. I want to link to the video from a location on the internet (CDN).

If you are linking to a video, why would the format matter? You're linking to a video player elsewher. It would be using a flash player most likely.
As Steve says above, you should use the Video Tool to draw a rectangle on the page where you want the video to appear, and in the dialog window that opens, enter the fully-qualified URL into the "Browse" field. The URL must end in a valid extension type for video that can be played by Flash Player (such as .FLV or .MP4) and you should link to the video file itself rather than the web page of the player application. If you have a video on a dynamic URL so there isn't an extension at the end, you'll need to re-craft the URL to add one, for example by passing a dummy variable.
If for example there's a video in FLV format delivered from a url
http://www.notarealwebsite.web/player?video=1234
then to get the Add Video tool to accept it, you'll have to enter something like
http://www.notarealwebsite.web/player?video=1234&somevariable=.FLV

Mac os preview: linked pdf and going back

When I click on a linked reference in a pdf it jumps to the bibliography at the end of the paper. Is there an easy way to jump back to the passage I just read? Thanks in advance

Glad this was useful to you. And indeed, I don't know what happened to the original screenshots...
I encountered this problem as well.
The solution is to move the filters from:
/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Filters/
to:
/Library/Filters/ (you may have to create this folder)
In other words, in OSX 10.7(.2), the filters need to be in the main system-wide Library, not in a user's Library.
And yes, the PDF Quartz Filter functionality in Preview has moved from the Print dialogue box to the File > Export command.

HT1535 Ipod Nano linked to a non existant library. How can I get my old songs to a new library?

I have an old Nano that I have about 300 songs on. I no longer have the PC with the library that this device was linked to. I have a new iPhone 5 and opened a new iTunes library to purchase songs for the new phone. How can I get the songs from the Nano to transfer to my new iTunes library that is syncd to my iPhone?

Hi Elk2bugle,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from your iPod to a new computer. See this article for the steps:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
You can also download past purchases directly to your iPhone, or computer using iTunes:

Tip: How to link to a non-iWeb page in the main navigation menu.

I've figured out an easy way to add a link to the main navigation menu which links to a URL of your choosing. For example, I have an older .Mac site using the now archaic HomePage. Instead of rebuilding all of my old pages in iWeb, I thought it would be nice to add a link to the old site from the top main navigation of the iWeb pages. Sounds easy, right? Apparently Apple has other ideas as iWeb doesn't allow you to do this.
Here's a work-a-round:
Step 1.) Open iWeb and add a new page to your iWeb site. Pick any template, it doesn't matter which one.
Step 2.) Change the page name to whatever you want using the page inspector. Whatever you choose as a name here will be reflected in the main navigation menu. For example, I named my page "Photo Archives".
Step 3.) You don't need to edit this new page at all. In fact, we're going to erase all of the content in it later. Now publish your site.
Step 4.) If you're using .Mac, mount your iDisk to your desktop. Then navigate through the folders to: Web -> Sites -> iWeb -> <Your Site Name>. If you're hosting your site somewhere else, navigate to your root directory.
Step 5.) You should now be looking at all of the files which make up your iWeb site. Open the dummy page we created in Step 2 in a text editor. I used BBEdit, but TextEdit (see note below) will work just fine. For example, my dummy page is named "Photo Archives.html".
Note: If you're going to use TextEdit, you need to select the checkbox "Ignore rich-text commands in HTML files" from the Open & Save pane of the Preferences dialog PRIOR to opening the file from your iDisk.
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html" /></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you want.
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi,
I'm OK to step seven but in your example can you highlight or make bold the "url address part " I'm to replace with my own?
Thanks!
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and
Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the
URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.d

xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></ti
tle><meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html"

Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a
link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you
want.

Escape button doesn't work in iTunes, iWork, Preview switching back to non-full screen mode

Though it does in Safari, iPhoto. Is it possible somehow by means of AppleScript, Terminal (or smth else) to enable esc button to switch between full and non-full mode assigning it to all of my apps or is it a bug?
ILYA

But I want use just one button instead of combination of them. Isn't it possible to make esc button the general screen mode switching tool?

Previewing Linked photos before publishing

I have hyperlinked my photos on my iWeb site that I am building... however, when I click on them to see the enlarged photo, I do not get any results. Please advise on the correct way to do this. Also, how do I preview my page, before publishing it?

You could use one of the flash slideshows produced by FAExport from iPhoto.
I have an example of Banana Album here....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/FlashSlideshow.html
This is done using the stand alone version.
Another alternative is the one at the bottom of this page which is mouse over to enlarge......
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/MouseOver.html
Run your mouse over the thumbnail of the audio mixer. You can put several on a page but you have to space them out and resize the enlarged images to fit. I have done one with two columns and several rows but the site is not published yet. You can have a caption below the thumb as long as its sent to the back.
You can email me if you need more information about it
Maybe Old Toad will suggest other ways.
