Shift doesn't work to select contiguous files

Shift doesn't work when I want to select contigious files. Why?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
From the finder in list or icon view you can click-drage mouse (or your finger) around contiguous files to select them. Stay outside the boundry of the icon. If you have a bunch selected but miss one, or, get one too many control-click the missing or extra file to select, or, deselect just it.

Why setting the download folder ton an external HDD doesn't work? the downloaded files goes to My Documents (Windows)?

I did what you said and updated FF, now the download goes to the external HDD that I specified, but now FF bugs, it freezes (not responing) :s
I reinstalled it but it doesn't fix the problem. I don't know what to do :(

Fast Forward & Rewind doesn't work for long audio files

I have loaded several mp3 files into the Pre via USB. Some are 2+ hours long, some are a few minutes. Fast forwarding thru the track doesn't work on the long files. Holding down the fast-forward arrows will cause the audio to stutter in the same place, sometimes go BACKWARDS instead of forwards, and eventually it will go silent. Pressing Pause, Play, whatever won't bring it back and ytou have to start the audio file over.
Help, Palm!

Yea, the fast forward is way lame and pretty much...
You get the idea.

Right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons. On other elements, there's no"Inspect Element" option

After installing FF 6.0, right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons, i.e. nothing happens on right-clicking.
The context-menu is available on other elements, but there's no"Inspect Element" option in the context-menu

Regarding the two-button click: just go to the "Sytem Preferences --> Mouse" pop-op and under "One Finger", check the "Secondary Click" box. Problem solved. I don't know how I missed this the first 3 times I went to there. Oh well.
And as for why I had to change the Trackpad settings to get the Magic Mouse zoom feature to work (see original question): I'm still stumped. Your guess is as good as mine.
Hope this helps!

QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

Hi!
I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
This is my feedback.
Thanks!!!!! :)

I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions; use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

• Photoshop "action" doesn't work well for big file?

Hello -
I made a Photoshop® script (action) which works perfectly…
(Open .PDF files in Photoshop®, to after save them as .JPG files into another folder)
The problem comes when I launch a batch process.
It takes a while to the computer to open the large .PDF files, and when a file is opened,
well it doesn't go through the whole script. In fact, Photoshop® already open the second file and so on.
Then without running the rest of the script/action
NB. I work with the CS5 version of Photoshop® (on Mac).
Thank you for any input.
Have a nice day…

Clicking doesn't work to select Tools in Muse. Is there a fix?

I am unable to click on the different tools in the toolbar in Adobe Muse CC (2014.5.0.569) in Windows 7. The toolbar does not recognize mouse clicks and even register a hovering cursor (i.e. I can't click and select the Text Tool or Hand Tool). Likewise on any pop up dialogue windows (i.e. "Would you like to save this file? Yes No Cancel")

We have the same problem here and changing to 125% text setting solves the problem (thanks for this lead KBrown0610) but this doesn't resolve the issue for us. We use CC to edit 4K and have a monitor setup with a native resolution of 3840x2160... I don't want to be changing resolutions between apps and workflows and if working at 125%, you need a magnifying glass to get anywhere other than frustrated. The mouse click issue is apparent at the 150% option and the custom 200% setting that is most user friendly so I hope Adobe will bring out a fix for this ASAP. Don't appear to be getting a similar problem with the other CC apps...

Mouse right-click doesn't work while clicking on files in folders

Hi there,
I have an iMac 8,1 with 10.6.8 OS.
Mouse is a Logitech M-BZ105A connected via USB.
About a week ago, I've noticed weird problem with my mouse: nothing happens when I right-click on files in folders. Nothing shows up.
- left-click works (it's set as the main one)
- right-click works when clicking NOT on a file
- right-click works when clicking files ON a Desktop
I tried changing right-click to the main one, but then the left-click wouldn't work.
Very annoying as I can't use many handy functions like Compress, Get info, Trash (of course I can still drag it to remove it, but RCM would be better).
Restarting iMac didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Good work so far, doesn't sound like the mouse, but maybe a 3rd party app.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Form on a SQL Query - doesn't work with SELECT * - bug or feature ?

When I do this,
Create Page -> Page with Component -> Form -> Form on a SQL Query -> SELECT * FROM EMP
I do not get any items displayed and it creates a simple HTML region / page. Do we have to necessarily specify the column names ?
Iam looking at a way to see if any addition of columns in the table does not involve IT intervention in recreating the form.
When we try to create with Form on a SQL Query, then shouldn't it be similar to the Report where the same thing works, if I give SELECT function_returning_columns() from DUAL even then the same thing happens where it creates an ITEM called functions_returning_columns() it creates HTML region
I asked a related question with no answer :-( in
Dynamic Creation of Items in Runtime through Application UI

Hi Marc,
Thanks. I just tried something like this. Taking the EMP table example, (it doesn't matter which table), I created a region based on a Pl/Sql function returning SQL query
( I selected the vertical report template including nulls to display it like a form ) :
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(3000) ;
mn_idx NUMBER := 1 ;
BEGIN
v_sql := 'SELECT ' ;
FOR recs IN (SELECT * FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'EMP' ORDER BY COLUMN_ID)
LOOP
v_sql := v_sql || 'HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(' || mn_idx || ',' ||
recs.column_name || ') ' || recs.column_name || ', ' ;
mn_idx := mn_idx + 1 ;
END LOOP ;
v_sql := SUBSTR(v_sql, 1, LENGTH(v_sql) -2) ;
v_sql := v_sql || ' FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = 7369 ORDER BY 1 ' ;
RETURN v_sql ;
END ;
This allowed me to do my updates etc.., Then I created a button called 'Apply' and a process called 'update_changes' on button click and defined this:
DECLARE
v_sql varchar2(1000) ;
mn_ctr NUMBER := 1 ;
BEGIN
v_sql := 'BEGIN UPDATE EMP SET ' ;
FOR recs IN (select COLUMN_ID, COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE
from all_tab_columns where table_name = 'EMP'
ORDER BY COLUMN_ID) loop
-- Make changes here if required- this is assuming 9 columns --
v_sql := v_sql || recs.column_name || ' = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F0' || mn_ctr || '(1),' ;
mn_ctr := mn_ctr + 1;
end loop ;
v_sql := substr(v_sql, 1, length(v_sql) - 1) ;
v_sql := v_sql || ' WHERE EMPNO = 7369; END ;' ;
execute immediate (v_sql) ;
END ;
Since this is for example, I didn't include code for Checksum and hardcoded empno = condition and have provision for 9 columns. I made some changes and tried saving it and I was able to do it.
I altered the table to add a column / drop a column and when I relogin, Iam able to see the changes.
Can you tell me if there could be any drawbacks in this approach ?.

"move" command doesn't work in case of files on network

I setup a theWatchFolder fold on network as Watch Folder. This works like when the folder on network gets a file, I'm notified via email and the file should move from watch folder (which is on network) to theDestinationFolder (which is also on another network). I used "move" command for that but it copies the files from the theWatchFolder to theDestinationFolder but doesn't move. And there, script shows error "An item with the same name already exists in this location."
global theWatchedFolder
global DestinationFolder
set theWatchedFolder to choose folder
set theDestinationFolder to choose folder
on idle
    tell application "Finder"
        set theDetectedItems to every item of theWatchedFolder
        repeat with aDetectedItem in theDetectedItems
            move aDetectedItem to the theDestinationFolder
        end repeat
    end tell
    if theDetectedItems ≠ {} then
        activate
        display dialog "Files for cutout were detected and moved to your " & theDestinationFolder
        tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
            set m to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Files For Cutout Received", content:"Hello there:
            Files for cutout received"}
            tell m
                make new recipient with properties {email address:{name:"KK", address:"[email protected]"}}
            end tell
            send m
        end tell
    end if
    return 1
end idle

Hi H:
Thanks for your help.
I opted the Option 1 from your script. When a file arrives in Watch Folder, the script still copies to the destination folder (instead of move) and sends email successfully, and this task repeats continuously. The script is as follows:
global theWatchedFolder
global theDestinationFolder
set theWatchedFolder to choose folder
set theDestinationFolder to choose folder
on idle
          tell application "Finder"
                    set theDetectedItems to every item of theWatchedFolder
                    repeat with aDetectedItem in theDetectedItems
                              set a to aDetectedItem as alias
                              set b to (move a to theDestinationFolder with replacing) as alias
                              if a ≠ b then
                                        tell current application
                                                  do shell script "rm -rf " & POSIX path of theWatchedFolder
                                        end tell
                              end if
                    end repeat
          end tell
          if theDetectedItems ≠ {} then
activate
                    display dialog "Files for cutout were detected and moved to => " & theDestinationFolder
                    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
                              set m to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Files For Cutout Received", content:"Hello there: Files for cutout received"}
                              tell m
make new recipient with properties {email address:{name:"KK", address:"[email protected]"}}
                              end tell
--open m
                              send m
                    end tell
          end if
          return 1
end idle

InDesign CS6: The "find" function doesn't work in "Open a file" dialog box...

I am using CS6 on OSX 10.7.5. When I try to search in the OPEN DIALOG box, it NEVER lists anything, not even a close match. If I however search the SEARCH feature on OSX it always finds what I'm looking for. Is there a setting that I have to change to get this to work or is it a glitch? thanks so much!

Exact same issue here.
CS6, OSX 10.8.3.
Example below ("Call Log," third item in first screen shot showing all files on Desktop, does not show up in the "Open a File" search for "Call Log" as shown in second screen shot):

Cut, Copy, and Paste doesn't work for some Project files

We have some Project files where the Cut, Copy, and Paste function is not working. Suspecting corruption, I tried doing a "Save for Sharing", to no avail.
Is there a switch setting that we are missing?
We are using Project Server v2010 with SP2. Our Project Pro clients are on SP2.

Hi Chris,
It could be due to a enterprise global corruption. Does it happen on a specific enterprise view? Does it work well in the default Gantt view?
Try to open the enterprise global and make a copy of the table with the same fields and attributes, then replace the old table with the new one in all the relevant views.
Hope this helps,

Cannot Draw Circles or Squares in Captivate (Holding down SHIFT doesn't work.)

Hi,
I am trying to add squares and circle shapes to a Captivate 8 project.
Before I click to draw the shape, I hold down the SHIFT button to constrain the proportions. Captivate draws me an oval or a rectangle all the same.
Error testing I have tried:
Trying to add a square in PowerPoint by holding SHIFT work (so not a hardware issue?)
Resizing my dratted rectangles & ovals by holding SHIFT in Captivate does constrain the proportions, but not to a shape I require!
Resizing images while holding SHIFT also constrains proportions.
The same error also occurs in my copy of Captivate 7?!
I'm completely puzzled. I know it's basic function, but it's vital for me to be able to create a smart-looking layout. Is it simply not possible to draw "perfect" squares and circles in Captivate?
Seth

Don't know if it is an oversight, I'm always logging that lack of use of SHIFT, think it is just not considered important enough. My mind tells it is very important, but I'm just a user.
That is what I told you... in CP8 you need a lot more clicks and mouse movements to get to everything (sighing).
The screenshot you are showing me is the Properties panel for a shape, tab 'Style', not 'Options'.You have to click on 'Options' to see the former Transform accordion. Splitting up the too long Properties panel of CP7 in two panels and tabs causes incrementing the number of clicks. And it didn't avoid scrolling, as you can see in this Style part. Will stop ranting, even after so many months, do not succeed in liking the UI shift.

Shift doesn't work on letter "f" ?

If I want a capital f I have to use the caps lock-shift has lost the upper case function for the letter f.
Has any one seen this before? Is there a solution?

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.
