Retina user looking for support with regards to Microsoft Office

Hello, many of you are already aware that Microsoft Office (like many other 3rd party apps) has not been optimized for the Macbook Pro Retina. I am fully aware that it may be a while before they update it, however, they're more likely to take action if they notice an influx of complaints. What I'm asking is for everyone who uses Microsoft Office to submit a feedback letter (link provided below) demanding at the very least a statement about the situation and if they are choosing to upgrade to retina in the near future. I believe that this may be our only choice to bring awareness at this present time. If you do choose to take the time to submit a mail, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

MS is not going to update the current version just to work better on a Mac W/Retina display. They may with a future version but I doubt they will on the current one.
Actually Mac users are lucky MS make a Mac vesrion of Office to begin with. They would rather you buy a Win PC with Windows and Office or buy Windows to install on your Mac and Office for Windows.

you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.

New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files: Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written) than what you left behind. But that's your call.
There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums

Error in eRecruitment configuration step Define user list for support teams

Hi Erecruitment experts,
I am new to SAP Erecruitment and trying to get the system running in ERP 6.00 with EP7.
When I progress the customising steps under technical settings -->User administration --> Define user list for support teams, I am facing problem of ABAP Dump.
It says
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "SAPLHR_RCF_CUST_01" had to be terminated because it
has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Key words are
"MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN" " "
"SAPLHR_RCF_CUST_01" or "RCF_CUST_F01"
"CHECK_VALID_USR"
I think there is a link between Object types CP, BP and relation ships A650, A209 etc in this process.
Can some one guide me how to overcome this error.
Tks
Dhina

Hi all
I got them fixed, as they are due to BP creation integration issue.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
From your description, you want to achieve the following goal:
Configure Exchange to filter the attachments if the size is over 10 MB and store it in a public folder, and then forward the email to Salesforce.
Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that it can't be achieved. Exchange can filter messages with attachments, but it couldn't store these attachments on public folder automatically. Also, I don't see any transport rule can do it.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
Best regards,

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).
Problem - SFDC does not create cases from emails that have more than 10 MB of attachments. Our clients will not go-live if their clients cannot send in emails with attachments over 10 MBs
Potential resolution - Configure MS exchange to strip off the attachments(if over 10 MB) and store it in a public folder, forward the email to Salesforce (so the case gets created or the email
is associated to an existing case), the client should have some way to know if the attachments were stripped off and should be able to dlownload the attachments and continue with case resolution.
Any help is appreicated!
Thanks

I am looking for support migrating Eudora 6.2.4 to Thunderbird

I have been hanging on to an antiquated Eudora email program (6.2.4) for far too long because I did not know how to migrate it, all of the settings, address book, filters, folders, etc. to Thunderbird. As a result I'm still running Mac OS 10.4.11. I am looking for support making the transition.
<sub>E-mail removed by forum moderator for your protection -M</sub>

well you have waited to long for current versions, so your going to have to install an old version and then upgrade it as some of the Eudora stuff is missing from current versions.
Start with V3, as that was the last major profile shake up and a good starting point to upgrade to and from as it was the basis of eudora OSE.
I have some instructions on the FTP site [http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/i-want-old-version-of-thunderbird.html here]
Once the import has completed and your happy with things upgrade to the latest version by downloading it and simply running the installer.

Class not registered. Looking for object with CLSID:

Hi,
I had create a custom project system with the help of https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/cc512961.aspx. And which is working fine that I can create a project with extension of .myproj in the VS Experimental Instance window. But when I go for
the properties in the created project, (Solution Explorer: Right click on the project folder and select properties) it will show an exception that "Class not registered. Looking for object with CLSID:{00000-00-00-000000}" How can I provide Properties
window for this project system or can I modify the Properties window for any other default VS project system? Please help me.

Hi mathikp,
I don't think you did something wrong while creating the project, but instead it could be the issue of environment, I would suggest you to validate following things:
1, Try to create another blank app to see if the exception still thrown.
2, Run with an administrator privilege to check if you can get the project work..
I would not consider its as a coding issue but try to fix Visual Studio probably helps.

How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

SpaceX is looking for engineers with LabVIEW experience in Hawthorne CA (LA area)

SpaceX is looking for engineers with LabVIEW programming experience for our Launch group. Our responsibilities include:
Controlling launch pad equipment via PXI/LabVIEW
Commanding and monitoring our Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 rockets via a LabVIEW-based Vehicle control system
Commanding and monitoring our Dragon capsules via a LabVIEW-based Mission Operation system
Ocean recovery of Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 stages after liftoff and Dragon capsules after splashdown
Cargo configuration of Dragon capsules going to resupply the International Space Station
Maintenance of Mission Control Centers with the help of our IT department
With the exception of the launch pad equipment program, most of our LabVIEW programs do not interact with DAQ hardware (unusual, I know). The Vehicle control and Mission Operations software get their data via Ethernet from 'black boxes' that connect to NASA & Commercial RF ground stations. We also create several utility programs in LabVIEW that also don't interact with hardware. So, this is mostly a software gig, not a hardware/software gig.
Ideal candidates will have the following qualities:
CLD-level LabVIEW experience
A good understanding of basic computer networking (TCP/IP, UPD, firewalls, VPN)
Must be enthusiastic about space (What year did we land on the moon? How many men walked on the moon? How many Space Shuttles do we currently have? etc.)
Must be willing to travel. Common destinations include Houston (NASA Johnson Space Center), McGregor TX (test site), Cape Canaveral FL (launch site), Kwajalein Marshall Islands (launch site)
Must be able to work without supervision. We have a very flat management structure, no one will be telling you what you need to do. If you don’t know, ask. If you do know, get it done.
About the job:
Job is located in Hawthorne, CA in the Los Angeles area.
This is not a 9-5 job. There will be some late nights.
You won't be LabVIEW only. Everyone chips in as needed. Our group has done Javascript, C++, MATLAB, configuring of TELEX comm systems, cutting of metal with bandsaws, welding, Unigraphics CAD, etc. If we need it and you don't know it, grab a book and learn.
We are only hiring full time employees. Contractors need not apply.
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, SpaceX hires only U.S. citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents.
Apply at SpaceX.com. Click the Careers button and fill out the general application. Mention this posting in the cover letter field. Don’t reply to this forum. You need to go to SpaceX.com to get your information into our system.
Message Edited by Lavezza on 03-31-2010 03:59 PM

There is a job posting up now at SpaceX.com. Go to the careers tab and search for LabVIEW.

I don't use Photoshop - looking for software with similar functionality to Photoshop's Pixelbender / Oil Painting. Any suggestions?

I don't use Photoshop, I'm an Aperture guy.
I'm looking for software with similar functionality to Photoshop's Pixelbender / Oil Painting.
I'm especially interested in the bending of the pixels, along the lines of impressionist paintings - think van Gogh.
Any suggestions?

If you are interested in computer simulated drawing and painting effects, have a look at the "ToonIt!" plug-in for Aperture. This will do some of the basic work for you, but you will have to do quite a lot of editing afterwards, to turn the image into a piece of art.
It might be easier, to do most of the drwing and painting yourself in the first place - ArtRage Deluxe is very versatile, if you have a large trackpad and pen.
For example: Applying a light ToonIt! effect "Impressionist2": The diagonal
cross-pattern is due to "Demo" mode - I have not yet bought the plug-in - it is rather expensive:
