Showing desktop, then only one programme

In Leopard and Snow Leopard, you could show the desktop, then click on one programme and only the last active window from that programme would be shown. It was great for dropping files on the desktop into Finder or such. I can't seem to get this to work in Lion, it shows all the windows open for all programmes instead.

it shows each of the pdfs open but I have to create 20 pdfs and then combine them all. Then close. In previous version, all the individual files would open with only one application tab opening. That's what I want to get back to. I'm sure it's just a display setting somewhere.
I'm using Vista.

  • IPhoto's Slide Show allows for only one song !

    I love the feature of iPhoto's slide show for a user to accompany a slide show with music from one's iTunes library. However, you can only pick one song. That means that if you have a slide show longer than one songs worth of time (most slide shows will be this way), the song will just keep repeating.
    Sure would be nice if there was a way to either play mutiple songs from a user's iTunes playlist. Alternatively, I've heard that the a capability may exist (outside of iTunes) to concatenate multiple songs together to accomplish the same end.
    Any suggestions on how to do either of the above?

    Hey Baheno,,
    there's so many Roads that lead to Rome!
    Road #1
    You can consolidate 2or more songs together in iTunes and name that (2 in 1) big song, Say, "eye of the tiger 2in 1) so this way it will be easy to locate it in the iTunes library while searching through iPhoto. Else you can create a separate albums in iTunes, and you put there only songs that are combined together.
    Road #2
    This is the one I prefer. You can export your slide show to QT (Quicktime). it requires some calculation to create a slide show that ends with the end of 1 song. Then you create another QT slide show, that ends with another songs.... etc..... after you merge all the parts together and you have a very long slide show with many songs!
    Transitions:
    Keep in mind that exporting to quicktime uses only the desolve transition. Which is fine with me. I have seen so many people doing some power point presentation and slide show with photos and using a array of different transitions..... in the same slide show.....it is disturbing, and takes away from viewing pictures. In cinema, it is said: "the thecniques should remain invisible" so keep the disolve transition... it is the least obtrusive .... your viewers, will never complain that there was no "cube effects"! Only you know about the missing effects!
    Self contained file.
    When you export to QT, you now have a file that you can send people through e-mail (given that it is a reasonable size) or you can even post them on web page! like a .mac page.
    When you want to view the show, you just click on the file and play it. No need to start iPhoto. No need to have a MAC, it can be seen on a PC too with QT. You can put it on a CD or DVD, and can be viewed on a DVD player.
    But when you play your slide show directly from iPhoto, you have to be in front of your mac, you have to have iPhoto open! But you can have you mac connected to a TV in the living room (I do) and then can play the slide show from iPhoto, using a TV-VGA adaptor that will play on your living room TV for a larger crowd to see. It can also be played through the sound system!!!! infinity and beyond!!
    If you want more specific on how to export to QT and merge 2,3,4,5 files post back. I will get more into it.
    I always export to QT, because this way, in the future, you do not have to mess around again in selecting the photos needed, and selecting the songs in iPhoto. I just click the QT file, and it will always play the same!
    hope this helps!

  • Multiprovider shows data from only one cube?

    Hello
    I have created one infoprovider for slow moving stock which has 2 cubes (ZIC_C03 & ZIC_C07) & 1 ODS (ZMM_ODS)..
    I have loaded 4 records in 2 cubes & 1 ODS..
    When I go in tcode listcube to see data of multiprovider, it shows me data only from one cube ie ZIC_C03..
    It doesnt display data from remaining 2 data targets (I have same records in all 3 data targets)
    Kindly tell me how to solve this probelm
    Thanks
    Neha

    Dear Neha,
    Check this info...might be helpful...
    select the option "create reccomendations" in the bottom option in the identification tab.
    and check now tf the data from alll the data providers is coming or not....
    "Identification" is in the top just besides "dimension" option in the characteristics tab.
    Just chose which infoprovider you want the respective char to come from.
    "Selection" option will be in the key figure tab in the multiprovider....just chose the key figure you want to come from which underlying infoprovioder.
    Identification tells which char will be populate in the multiprovoder through which infoprovider so if you have some char as A tehn identification should be from A char in all the infoproviders...just tick that option there.
    In case of selections if you have same two key figures coming from two providers then select the provider which you want it come.
    Hope this helps u...
    Best Regards,

  • Time Machine Shows Desktop Items Only....?

    I'm using a 2GHz Intel Core Duo iMac, using Time Machine to backup to a 400GB Iomega external drive.
    The problem is when I go in to Time Machine to 'look back in time', the only items which appear in the historical finder windows are those items or folders actually located on my desktop, but excluding "Macintosh HD". This means, for example, if I want to restore an old file from my "Documents" folder of 1 week ago, I can not, as this can not be accessed via the desktop (bearing in mind the Macintosh HD icon also does not appear).
    Any ideas? Time Machine preferences do not account for this problem - I have not restricted backup to desktop items only.

    Time Machine displays whatever is selected in the left sidebar window. Try clicking on your hard drive, documents, pictures, etc. in the sidebar window one at a time and you will see the Time Machine display change to reflect their respective contents.

  • Ipad does not show email from only one sender

    I have my outlook.com email address setup to come to my Ipad.   I have noticed over the roughly year that I have had it that email messages from one particluar sender does not show up on the Ipad. All other emails come thorugh fine it is just this one sender, which I receive email from on a regular basis.   Any thoughts on cause or remedy for this?   I have added the sender to my contacts list,checked the junk file,  deleted and reintalled the email account all with no luck. 

    If they are not being received by the server, then this is not a Thunderbird problem. So, first you need to determine if your server is receiving the emails.
    Logon to your webmail account using a browser, are those emails shown in the webmail account?
    Are they in the webmail Inbox folder or another folder - check the spam folder?
    Do you use an IMAP or Pop mail account?
    If the emails are not in webmail account, then Thunderbird cannot see them.
    If the server is not receiving the emails, then check that the sender is actually using your correct email address.

  • 2 users on the same computer.  Full iTunes shows up on only one

    There are 2 users on this computer.  Only the iTune downloads appear on one.  How can I get the full iTunes library on the other?

    Hey there IamSwings,
    It sounds like you would like to share your iTunes library between 2 different users on the same computer. I found this article for you that should help you accomplish that named:
    iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203
    If you're using Windows, follow these steps:
    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your iTunes Media folder. (This folder may be named iTunes Music if you created your iTunes library in iTunes 9 or earlier). By default, it's in these locations:
    Windows XP and Windows 2000: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
    Note: The Windows version of iTunes doesn't copy all the music you add to your iTunes library to your iTunes Media folder. To copy the Music in your library to your iTunes Media Folder (if you have enough hard drive space), choose Consolidate Library from File > Library > Organize.
    Drag the iTunes Media folder to a public location. You can use one of these public folders:
    Windows XP and Windows 2000: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\Public\Public Music
    Important: Don't move the iTunes folder, the iTunes library file, or the iTunes library.xml file.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click Advanced.
    Click the Change button.
    In the Change Music Folder Location dialog, navigate to your iTunes Media folder.
    Click OK.
    Repeat these steps for each user that you want to share music with. If multiple users on your computer are storing music in the same public folder, duplicate song files may appear if a user imports music from a CD that another user already imported.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Multiprovider showing data from only one underlying object?

    Dear Bwers,
    I have a Multiprovider (MP) that is defined on an ODS object and an InfoCube. When i create a query on the MP, i can see values that are coming from only the ODS and not the InfoCube. I have identified the key characteristics from both the ODS and Cube and checked them in the MP in the identification tab.Can anybody suggest me something that i may be missing?
    Thanks
    Raj

    Bhanu,
    How do you include 0INFOPROV in the query? i have checked the underlying infoproviders (ODS and Cubes) and see that the objects have data based on sample key fields that i selected(using listcube). i have also run the query with RSRT option using the multiptovider explain option and got the message as below. Please help me with the message below. (remember the MP has four underlying objects, 2 ODS and 2 cubes).

  • How do I sort so that all the songs for a particular album show up under only one album? Example:  Eminem 'Encore'  has multiple artists on the entire track list.

    Example:  Eminem 'Encore'  has multiple artists on the entire track list.  Several songs will just list Eminem as the artist, but a lot will have Eminem, FEATURING...so and so.  Each song that has "FEATURING" shows up as a different album, so if you are not paying attention, and pull all the songs from a particular album over to your ipod, for example, and you don't see that not all the songs are there, you won't get them all to transfer.
    Is there anyway to correct this?

    Each tune gets a file name - that is how iTunes works. iTunes is a data base manager.
    In a PlayList a reference is created that will link to a specific tune.
    You can take the tunes that you do not want listed under a particular album name and change the album name using 'Get Info' for that tune(s) from the iTunes window.

  • Show alarms in only one specific calendar

    I've created an iCal alarm to run a saved Automator workflow every 15 minutes, every day, during certain hours, in a new calendar called iTunes Sync (the workflow creates a backup of my iTunes .xml to a remote NAS). Now the alarms appears on all of my calendars, not just the new one. How can I disable visibility of these alarms in my other calendars?

    Have you upgraded to the new MobileMe calendar? - if you haven't, you should, because the old syncing method will be terminated on Thursday. For more on this please see this post:
    FYI: Four days before old calendar sync switch-off
    Once you've done this, or if you already have: your MobileMe calendars appear in the sidebar under your MobileMe login name. You can move the iTunes Sync calendar to 'On My Mac':
    Select the calendar. From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved in your selected location.
    From the File menu choose New Calendar>On my Mac; name it iTunes Sync.
    Select this new calendar. From the File menu choose Import... - select your .ics file and when prompted choose to add it to this new calendar (make sure it's the On My Mac one, not the MobileMe one).
    When the calendar has been imported and you have checked it's OK, select the MobileMe version: control-click it and choose Delete.
    Now the calendar is purely local to your Mac and won't sync.

  • Does Apple Remote Desktop control only one specified local account or could you, say, make it able to manage all network accounts?

    When you set up Remote Desktop, is it possible to set up Remote Desktop for ALL network accounts on that computer instead of enabling it for each network account.

    If I understood this straight, yes, you can control any user logged in a client computer, doesn't matter which login/pass you used to first connect. In other words, if you added a computer by the user "Jonh" you can still control remotely the same computer even if "Mary" is logged at the moment.

  • Only one song visible in List View

    I can only see one song in list view with the album art visible. If there are 10 songs on the album they are all separated and show up individually. They used to be all together next to the album cover and now they are not. What do I have to do to get them together again?

    Didn't solve the problem. If I have one album by an artist then all of the songs for that album are displayed next to the album art. But if there are multiple albums y an artist then only one or two songs are displayed next to the album art and each album shows up multiple times with with other songs, they are not all together and it is driving me crazy. Why would one album be listed multiple times with only one or two songs next to it? I can't figure out how to fix it.

  • Design Problem : How to design/code a java client which is deployed to all the machines in a cluster and make sure that only one of the java client is active

              hi ,
              I have to design a java client (which is basically a JMS message listener)which
              is deplloyed to all the servers in the cluster. But as these are message listeners,
              i want only one of the instance to be active at a time.
              If the server on which the client is active goes down , I want the second server
              to start listening to messages.
              How do i design this ? Also is there a public api for multicasting that we can

    Hi Nisha,
              Failover message listeners? Sounds like you want MDBs, which are deployed on all nodes in a
              cluster. If your JMS destination is a queue, then only one MDB will pick up the message. And just
              like any other ejb service, MDBs failover.
