Some feature change suggestions

Hi,
I would like to make a few suggestions about changing Mac OS X features. I'm curious as to whether other people would
agree with my suggestions.
1. the default tab-setting mechanism on the rule seems at first glance appropriate for a variable-width font environment. Tabs are no longer definable
as a standard number of characters. And also in a word-processing environment it allows tabs to be set in non-standard places. On the other hand, having to move those little triangles to EXACTLY the right place, if you happen to be using a (for example) text editor that allows (for example) unlimited page width, is
a royal pain in the butt.
SUGGESTION: define somehow (I can't quite visualize it yet) a standard 'space' width, and specify how many of these a tab represents. Then it will
automatically place those little triangles at the appropriate locations all the way to infinity on the right. If you want to vary some easy enough.
NOTE: can always define a standard 'space' width as the width of a particular character - e.g. 'A' will create 'wider' tab stops than 'i' and certainly
2. I think it was a BIG mistake to get rid of the little arrows at the extremes of the vertical and horizontal scroll bars. Especially the vertical. I have a number
of really big pages (e.g. in excel) and having to position the scrolling thingy EXACTLY right is excruciating at times. It's a waste of time
3. Is there some Cocoa object that allows COLUMNS of text, like in a newspaper? I know you can put in a table, which sort of does the same
thing. Is that it? Can you have a table with invisible lines?
That's it for now.
Thanks & Regards,

I think they should also give the option of a directions list. I had this available on my other navigation app and it was a wonderful thing. I like to have a sense of where I am going before I start my trip. I also believe that it is safer for myself and other drivers out there. Preparation is key.

Begs for these feature changes/suggestions

1. *Use real "time stretching"*, any length the composer likes. Even with audio that was not recorded with Logic. Apple Loops are not necessary. Hate to refer to Live and Cubase, but they don't need any special "Loop" encoding to stretch audio at aill.
( the 'time and pitch machine LOOKS really cool and 3-dimensional, but it is all in all not very understandable ).
2. *BOUNCE AUDIO ONTO A TRACK*. Logic is the last remaining DAW on earth that doesn't render audio ONTO A TRACK in the song.
It hides the audio in the Bin, forces you to find it, create a new track, and move it manually to its original record position.
3. If a track is named "Vocals 1" or "Reverb Bus" in the arrangement, it should be known by that name EVERYWHERE in the project. Right now, a single track in the arrangement has 2 different names, and still a third name in the drop down menus. ( "reverb bus" a.k.a "aux 4" a.k.a. "bus8" ).

1. Option-drag the bottom right corner of audio files. Yes, there are length restrictions or some odd handling with this.
2. True, and agreed. You can at least now thought record audio from one track directly into another track via a bus, which at least is better than nothing.
3. Well, a track is not the same as a bus which is not the same as an aux or bus channel. Logic leaves you to organise things how you want. Personally I'd rather name thing how I want than have the software enforce this, but I understand your point. You can name tracks, audio channels, busses and aux/bus objects, so if might make sense for you to set up some regular mixer naming conventions in your autoload template.

How can I re-install Imovie ? some features are not available ( world globes ,etc...)

How can I re-install Imovie 10? some features are not available ( world globes ,etc...) after the update from today

I'd suggest a fresh reinstall of iMovie then. Delete the Application and re-download from the Mac App Store. You should see something like this:

I have a Macbook Air (july 2012) with OS X 10.8.3 installed. I have dvds with .vob files and have Quicktime Version 10.2 (603.12). I can't play the DVDs. Thereare some features of QT that I like, e.g. precise frame selection and save as .png file-help

I have a Macbook Air (july 2012) with OS X 10.8.3 installed. I have dvds with .vob files and have Quicktime Version 10.2 (603.12). I can't play the DVDs. There are some features of QT that I like, e.g. precise frame selection and save as .png file-help. Am I missing some Apple software? I thought QT for Mountain Lion could convert the .vob files - is there some setting that I have missed?
Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.

MacBook Pro (version 10.7.5) got some features such as toolbar, mail, safari and other only in English

After installing the MacKeeper (now uninstalled) in my MacBook Pro (version 10.7.5) got some features such as toolbar, mail, safari and other in English (use in Portuguese - Brazil).
I've already set the System and Preferences> Language & Text, for use in Portuguese, but still does not work.
Someone know what should I do?

Very strange problem (no surprise to you).
I suggest you reset the SMC (and PRAM, if you are able). That cannot hurt and might help.

After safari 7.1.3 upgrade some features and links in websites won't work

I upgraded to safari 7.1.3 for mavericks. I have a macbook pro 13". Everything worked fine before, but after the upgrade some features and links in different websites just wont work. what can I do? Also different pop ups like mackeeper keep coming up, and that didn't happen before.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

When i write on my macBook some letter change saddenly to capital and

what hapend recently the some letter change suddenly to capital

I suggest that you make a full system backup soon, then you have your HD tested. The symptoms you describe sound like your HD is failing to properly spin-up after it has been powered off. This would happen when your turn the system off, or put it to sleep. I have had some external drives that would not spin up properly, but once they were powered up and spinning, you could reset them and they would initialized and be recognized. With testing, I found that they were starting to fail.

Thanks

i'm not sure if there's any suitable cooling pads for your computer but cleaning the fan could be another solution. it may work but it may also void your warranty.
due to it's probably hardware issue, at this point i don't think i have much suggestions for you.

Hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type.

Some font changes not displaying in PDF output

Hello,
I have Developer 2000 R 2.1 on my workstation and I produced a report from an Oracle table in PDF format. It displays different font weights, styles and colors (black or red) depending on values in a particular column. We have Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 and Reports30.
The PDF report is perfect when it is displayed through the 'Live Previewer' or displayed using 'PDF' under 'Web Preview'. After I send my 'REPORT.rtf' to the server and compile using 'conv.sh', I get a 'REPORT.rep'. When I try to display the PDF report from a web page, using 'REPORT.rep', the some font changes are missing. No italics, no bold in some instances. It does show 'red', but not in all the correct places.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for any assistance.
Paul

Hi,
the PO Output for Communication does not use the $OA_MEDIA variable so you have to provide the full path to your images, example url:{translate(concat('/d01/oracle/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/',BILL_TO_LOGO),' ','')}
Hope this helps as it works for us.

Imtiyaz

Just update to Pages 5.1 - its dropped the pictures from my Pages files - 'Some features aren't supported - objects in table cells were removed' - how do I get pictures back?

Just update to Pages 5.1 - its dropped the pictures from my old Pages files - 'Some features aren't supported - objects in table cells were removed' - how do I get the pictures back?

Thanks Peter
Can you just walk me through dumping Pages 5 and getting to the Applications/iWork folder - and does this mean that when I see future Pages Upgrades I should block them?
I'm new to Apple so need a step by step
Many thanks

Some features not available to Automatic User

We have 2 new macs running Leopard and are having the same issue with both. As the default automatic user, some features are not available. For example, the eye icon for QuickLook does not appear in any of the windows, such as the Finder. In Mail, the stationary button does not appear. If I create a second user (I also gave it admin privileges), both these features show up just fine. Has anyone else noticed this or is there a fix?
Thanks,
Joan

Did you upgrade from Tiger? If so, the default user is not really a member of group 'Staff', so Finder doesn't get the default Tool Bar. Just CtlClick on the Finder bar and select "Customize Toolbar", then add the QuickLook icon.

Photoshop CS6 save for web some colors change?

I have a picture with large area of color: #fffdfd, when I save it for web (jpg) this color is changed to #fefcfd (in JPG).
I just can not save as JPG with #fffdfd.
(was trying uncheck convert to sRGB, do not embed color profile - always #fffdfd changes to #fefcfd when save for web)
However, color #fefcfd when save for web , does not change.
Why some colors change and some not? Is it a bug ?
Window7 64bit, Photoshop CS6

Save for Web & Devices will strip some color data from the file.
Browsers aren't color managed. Most file formats on browsers assume they're sRGB. While Photoshop gives you an option of embedding sRGB to the document color space, it also strips off data that is not relevant. This is a common occurence.
PNG-24 on the other hand will give you the exact color match.
Also, Save for W&D, JPG quality matters a lot - The same color at Quality 10,20,30,40,50...100 wil give you different color reproductions on the JPG end output.
If you're concerned that much about an offset of +/- 1 hex value to your RGB colorspace, dont save for web & devices. Do a 'Save As' instead. Then use an image editing/ resizing application such as ResizeMe to resize the quality of your document. This, in most cases will retain colorspace information but just drop the resolution and quality of the image - giving you a lesser filesize.
On a sidenote, You may also want to read this article on how to best manage color spaces: http://viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift
