Scrolling: old bug was nice feature

In an older version of OSX, I remember that I could move my cursor over a window in the background, and use the mouse scroll-wheel to scroll that window WITHOUT bringing it to the front.
This was particularly nice if you had a browser window open to documentation, with Photoshop or Flash in the foreground (lots of floating palettes) and didn't want to hide/re-show all the palettes etc by clicking back and forth to scroll down in the documentation.
I've tried holding down option, control, cmd, etc to allow scrolling of background documents, to no avail.
Is there a way to re-enable that behaviour? Or a third-party scrolling hack ?
Thanks!

He's talking about scrolling window contents using the scroll
wheel, without bringing the window to the front
and without clicking anywhere on it, not even
on the scroll bar, not even while pressing the
command key.
Exactly!
But... I would be happy to use a click or command-key or drag, IF it works without bringing the back document to the front.
I am exploring Smart Scroll now (keypress-click-drag on back doc), but there is an installer problem (crashes) which I am trying to solve (4 tries now) with the developer. He's sending me updated installers, but -- no luck yet. If this eventually works, I will report here.
Cheers.

OLD BUG is back: Heavy JClient Bug regarding to scrolling within a JTable.....

Hi,
I'm just evaluating the new features of JDev 9.0.3.988 (preview) and found an old bug back again!
see: Re: Fetching data from database for login
The current behaviour is slightly different:
You have a generated JClient form displaying a table. There are more rows than the table can show at once. You scroll down with the cursor keys until some new rows are fetched. Now scroll up again. Make sure you only use cursor keys. If you reach the upper area of the table you can see that the StatusBar isn't refreshing it's current row counter and all possibly connected fields to the same binding don't update themself either.
You can see this behavior by using only wizard generated source code based on the SCOTT/TIGER schema.
This bug should have been definitively fixed in a previous beta version...
Can anyone give a comment on this?
Thanks in advance,
Torsten.

This bugfix doesn't work!!!!!!
It makes the table scrollable via cursor keys, but now scrolling with the mouse isn't possible anymore!!!!I see the bug when you apply the above mentioned workaround that leads to scrolling due to double handlers for valueChanged event
Lets try to fix this in the JUTableBinding source. From my test runs on the when the same fix is applied on JUTableBinding source, the scroll works fine in both key/mouse modes.
Let us know if you find otherwise.
The fix in JUTableBinding is:
Look up source for JUTableBinding in your setup. (It'd be in (JDEVHOME)\bc4j\src\bc4juisrc.zip
Save a copy in your current project in the project's source path maintaining the class's package structure - save the file into sourcepath\oracle\jbo\uicli\jui\JUTableBinding.java
Replace the existing valueChanged method with the following:
      public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent event)
         try
            ListSelectionModel listSelModel = (ListSelectionModel) event.getSource();
            if (mSelRowInProg || listSelModel.getValueIsAdjusting())
               return;
            RowIterator iter = getRowIterator();
            if (!listSelModel.isSelectionEmpty())
               if (iter == null)
                  return;
               int selectTabRowIndex = listSelModel.getMinSelectionIndex();
               if (getFormBinding() != null)
                  ((JUPanelBinding)getFormBinding()).callBeforeRowNavigated(getIteratorBinding());
               int idx = selectTabRowIndex - iter.getRangeStart();
               if (idx >= iter.getRangeSize())
                  idx = idx - iter.getRangeSize() + 1;
                  iter.scrollRange(idx);
                  idx = selectTabRowIndex - iter.getRangeStart();
               else if (idx < 0)
                  iter.scrollRange(idx);
                  idx = 0;
               iter.setCurrentRowAtRangeIndex(idx);
         catch(Exception ex)
            reportException(ex);
            refresh(true /*selectRow*/);
This is a really heavy bug making the whole JUTableBinding useless... any comments on this? :((

I recently installed the trial version of Adobe XI and the trial period ended, so I wanted to revert back to the version I already had. I did not see any uninstall feature and my old version was apparently replaced by the trial version. I cannot re-instal

I recently installed the trial version of Adobe XI and the trial period ended, so I wanted to revert back to the version I already had. I did not see any uninstall feature and my old version was apparently replaced by the trial version. I cannot re-install a previous version b/c I need both a product Id (GOd only knows where that is now) and a way to uninstall the trial. Any ideas?

When you installed the trial, there should have been an option to have ignored your current installation and leave it. Apparently you skipped that case. To uninstall the trial (in Windows) go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select the Acrobat XI and choose uninstall. After the uninstall run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to clean up your system. HOWEVER, if you see your old Acrobat in that window, do not run the cleaner, but do a repair on the old version.
You did not mention the old version you had. You might try from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. As for the S/N, you should have register and if so you can get it from Adobe. The instructions are at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html#adobeproductdownload.
Be sure to backup any download of the old installer and the S/N to CD or backup HD for future use. They will not likely continue to be available.

Unable to Open/Import Multiple Files in Audtion 3 - Old Bug?

As stupid as it might sound I can't seem to open more then single files from the Files Window in Audition 3.0.1. You can select them (shift+click or right click) but they don't open. However if you drop them from explorer or "open file with" they do open but then the next issue emerges.... They are not saved in the session file UNLESS you use them in the Multitrack View!! Now is this me or is it an old bug or something? (I've recently updated from Audition 1.5).
The files I've tried are mainly wav-files and mp3. Same result though.

Ooo? So UNSED files are NOT reloaded in the session file! Well, thanks for
clearing that up (Still, I must say it makes it a bit frustrating though!).
My impression was that, as I used Audition 1.5 before, I was quit sure it
was possible there! But then again it's been a while since I used that
program too in a major scale. (I've been working in much After Effects
lately, wich of course has another handling of files).
As for the Files (Edit) View, I still can not open more than ONE file at the
time from that location - regardles of Multitrack or Edit View, really!
ShiftClick, CtrlClick, Right Click - you name it. Yes, select them but
open? No can do!! Now, as I mentioned before there is the workaround when I
select the files in explorer (Windows) and then drops them in Auditions
File View - they all then load accordingly (Or you can aslo use "open file
with" then point to Audition). Otherwise, once the files are imported,
there's no problem working with them in Multitrack/Edit and do all the rest.
Yet, it is a bit absured though and hard to tell whether it's a bug or not
(?). Virus?
Anyway, thanks a bunch!

I'm not sure I'm understanding your problem with the Files window. To try
this, I opened eight files in the Files window in Edit View. From there I
could drag any one of them into the Edit window with no problems. I also
was able to drag them into different tracks in Multi Track View. I also put
files into the Files window, CTRL+clicked all of them and dragged all of
them at once into the Multi Track View successfully. I repeated this doing
SHIFT+click. I then put into the Files window tracks that have different
sample rates. They all went into the Multi Track without incident (after
the program resampled the unmatching tracks to conform to the session's
sample rate).
>
Yes, you are correct that the files not used in the session are not
reloaded into the Files window when the session is reopened.

I just got an imac and i can't access my itunes. my old computer was a f***ing dell, ugh. can i do this or do I have to create a new apple account?

just got an imac and I cant access my itunes. old computer was a dell, do I have to create a new apple account?

Apple does not want you to have two iTunes accounts so perhaps it would be better to cancel the account you used with your Dell and launch a new account for your nice new iMac. If you cannotmake contact with the original details go to ...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store.
From there you could negotiate the cancellation process.

I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
That means you imported one Library to another.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
So, what to do?
Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

I moved to a new pc but have the FF profile from the old one and how do I find out which FF version the old FF was?

I want to use the old version of FF from my previous pc. I saved the profile folder etc on the old pc. The old HD is attached to the new pc via USB. How do I tell what version the old one was?
After installing the old version on the new pc I want to use the former FF profile file on the new pc installation of FF.
I have the sessionstore backups etc. from 3/21.
BTW I typed all this info earlier and support automatically butted in with a guess to what would be an answer. And in the process overwrote what I typed. Please try to get mozilla to prohibit this behavior.

Sorry to hear that the forum lost your question.
I'm not sure I understand why you need an old version of Firefox. Were you way behind in updates? Normally when you install the current version, it will seamlessly update/convert any obsolete files in your profile folder to current versions.
Perhaps I'm answering the wrong question. If the question is: "how do I get a new installation of Firefox to use all my old settings" then I can give you a way to do that.
''This assumes you might have data in your new Firefox that you don't want to overwrite and preserves your current profile.''
Go ahead and open your old profile folder in a Windows Explorer folder. At this level you should see a bookmarkbackups folder, among others. Later you'll copy the ''entire contents'' of the old profile folder to a new location on your C drive.
'''Overview'''
These are the steps:
# Create a new Firefox profile
# Remove everything from that new profile folder
# Copy in everything from the old profile folder
'''Create a new Firefox profile (Windows)'''
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following into the Start menu search box (or Run dialog) and pressing Enter:
firefox.exe -P
''Do not delete anything here! Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.''
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like OldSettings, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
'''Open the New Profile folder in Windows Explorer'''
Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table, click the "Show Folder" button. Firefox will launch your brand new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
Leaving that folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Exit. Either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
When Firefox closes, the profile folder should be front and center, or you can activate it using the Task bar.
'''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete.
Leaving that window open, switch over to your old profile folder. At this level you should see a file named places.sqlite. If that isn't visible, try moving up a level until you find it.
Select everything (Ctrl+a) and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Ctrl+c).
Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Ctrl+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
'''Start Firefox'''
Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success?

I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.

I recently had to get my iPhone 4s replaced. The old phone was backed up to ICloud. I get a message when I plug this one in that it is not backed up and there isn't enough storage left to back it up. How to I remove from the other phone so I can back th

I am trying to back up my new Iphone on to ICloud. It shows I dont have enough storage because it still has stuff from the old IPhone. How can I back up this phone and erase from the other. Apple kept the other phone when they replaced it. If I hit the delete storage for the other phone (which shows up on the Icloud Icon on this phone) will I lose everything on this phone? That's what I want to avoid....

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

HELP! My old mac was requested to upgrade Firefox to 14.0.1. After the sucessfully installation, I received a message saying my old Mac couldn't use the new Firefox and Safari crashes. I have NO browser now!!!

My old mac was requested to upgrade Firefox to 14.0.1. After the sucessfully installation, I received a message saying my old Mac couldn't use the new Firefox and Safari crashes. I have NO browser now! Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm... So you upgraded Firefox and now neither Firefox or Safari will work? Very weird. I have no idea what might have gone wrong. That said, when things start acting wierd, I always try a bit of maintenance first. About 95% of the time, I luck out and it works.
I use the free program Onyx. I run all the clean up routines. Then I boot to the recovery partition (Lion) or the OS X Install Disc and repair permissions and verify/repair the hard disk.
Hope this helps.
