Spotlight takes the whole of the centre screen. Can it be moved
Hate the way spotlight opens in the centre of the screen and cannot be moved.
Am I missing a trick to this.
I find its location really annoying. Like macular degeneration cos its right in the centre of your visual axis.
Also is there a way of doing simple calculations in the top right magnifying glass icon without using ons desktop?
Spotlight window cannot be moved from the center.
You can do the calculations the same way as we are used to.
You can add calculator widget to the Notification center.
Launch Notification center from the menu bar, the right most 3bar icon in the menu bar.
Select "Today" view. Click the "Edit" button at the bottom of the pane.
A new pane with Calculator and World Clock will appear.
Click the black + on green button next to the calculator.
If you want remove the calculator from the widgets, click black "- " on red button beside "Calculator".

My MacAir is great except for a problem i have. Keys F1, F2,F5,F6,F7,F8,F9,F10,F11,F12 and the power button are unresponsive. These are keys i frequently use and i have searched the whole apple help centre. Anyone got answers for me? Please helP!!!
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.

i am trying to download video that i purchased from itunes, but everytime i want to resume the process after pausing it, it automatically start the whole downloading process again, how can i eliminate this problem?
They don't normally appear in the download screen ... until I attempt to download another movie. Then they just start appearing. If you click edit - a normal movie download has a circle that appears on the left hand side that allows you to select and delete ... these movies don't have that option so you need to find the movie in you list (under movies) and select the download cloud symbol again to stop it downloading ...you may need to do this a number of times before it stops for a while ... or until you try to download a movie then it starts all over again.
i have logged out of my itunes account. restarted the iPad, removed all movies, restarted the iPad, logged back into my iTunes account and restarted my iPad .... but as soon as I tried to download a single movies ... the other movies started appearing in the downloads again. -

Does Universal Connector read only the changes or the whole of the database everytime
Does the Universal Connector read only the changes in the external database into the Connector View every scheduled cycle or does it read the whole of the database into the connector view every time ?
I need to write a indirect connector for Lotus Notes database using the universal connector and univeral text parse.So I want to know if the Import and Dump scripts that I will have to write will have to read just the changes that took place or the whole of the Notes DB everytime ?
-AparnaIf it is possible to get just the changes then do that.

How can I uninstall Kaspersky to install Mckeeper ?
The item 'Kaspersky Anti-Virus.app' can't be moved to the Trash because it is opened'. Actually I did not open it.
Please advise, thanks.
EmmanuelRemove "Kaspersky Security" by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different. The product includes a Safari extension that may not be removed by the uninstaller.
Back up all data before making any changes. -
My browser was very slow, so I cleared cookies and cache. When FF (4.0) restarted, it said it had installed colourful tabs (which I ALREADY HAD). I opened FF and typed in mmy first TE on my list ( I surf traffic exchanges). But I cannot do so on FF anymore. Only half my computer screen is from the TE or web page, and the bottom HALF of the screen is for History, etc. I cannot even see or access the Start menu or my open tabs at the bottom of the screen, unless I use Control and Escape.
I got the url from FF 4.0 , uninstalled the old version and reinstalled it. Same thing. I uninstalled it again, straight from my control panel (Windows Vista Home Premium), cleared cookies and cache again, fixed registry problems again, and restarted my computer. STILL same thing!
I tried to adjust settings, but it will not let me change what I need to. I cannot unclick that updates will be downloaded and installed automatically, and check that I want to be asked each time. I do not know if I can even SEE what was updated, to give you an idea if that could have caused this very nasty problem. Nasty, because until it is fixed, I will not be using FF.After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around. -
What do I do to get it back?
Are you saying the app icon is no longer on the desktop?
If it is but you can't invoke it again, then close it. Press the home button twice and press & hold the app's icon at the bottom of the screen until it wiggles. Then press the "-" to close it. Now try invoking it again. -
If the whole applet window stays visible, can repainting still occur?
Hello, if a user scrolls a browser up and down, during which process the whole applet window stays visible (just moves up and down in the browser window), can painting code inside the applet still be called?? As far as I understand painting, no, but please if an expert could confirm I'd appreciate.
The problem I am having, is in the above situation, my applet shows artefacts, like lines repeating twice, as if my painting code were messed up. But the applet is not computing an image, it is not computing anything, just displaying an image, and the only thing that is happening is that I scroll the browser so it moves up and down (staying visible all the time). Am I right to assume this cannot be a problem in my applet code?
No SSCCE since I don't think this is my code. Thank you for any opinions. Markthe only thing that is happening is that I scroll the browser so it moves up and down (staying visible all the time). So your saying the problem is not with your code but its with the scrolling of the applet?
if you could just bring your considerable expertise to bear and just write a simple "yes", "no", "maybeI did give you my answer. I don't believe anything is a bug, unless you can post code that demonstrates it.
And if you code is 30K, what do you think the chances are the problem is in one of those lines of code.
And no, I have absolutely no idea what it could be. -
Itunes won't play the whole of the track
I chose a track from a CD I had loaded on to itunes to use as a ringtone for my iphone.
The instructions I followed said that the clip musn't be longer than 30 seconds, so I did that and loaded the track onto my iphone. The ringtone on the iphone is working fine.
But, when I played that particular track on itunes, it always cut out after 30 seconds.
So, I deleted the whole album and reloaded it onto itunes.
But it makes no difference. It still cuts out after 30 seconds.
I tried:
clicking on the track,
then right clicked for "Get Info",
then "Options"
and changed the time back to the length of the originsal recording.
But it always changes back to 30 seconds.
Please can anyone help?Hi Morb,

I have installed the cars 2 app mate on a ipad 2 from an ipad 1 synced with itunes account.. all is working except this app. After many times of un installing and re installing aswell as talking to apple tech suport this app is still not working.... its there it just has no function...... how can i get this installed and working, my grandson is autistic and uses this app many hours a day........ it is important for me to get this up and running again for him.......
(1) So, I found a youtube video showing how to open up my iMac and replace a Disk drive. I opened it. I removed the disk drive. I opened the metal cover of the lid of the disk drive. It was clean and immaculate; so, it destroyed and debunked the dirty drive theory. But, just to make sure I sucked around the optical sensor with a vacuum and gently brushed it with a Q-tip.
(2) I then watched a you tube video showing how the drive operated (it was a drive supplied with power outside an iMac with a transparent cover unlike the opaque metal cover that we have on our drives). My scientific curiosity started to wonder if somehow the mechanical part (of the electro-mechanical assembly) was locked or jammed. So, I started messing with the arms with the utmost care after watching the video to see if i could move them manually. Yes on some. The main arm that is linked with the drive motor was immovable. The rest I played with a little bit, took great notice in the start of the video to see how the arms looked before inserting a disk. I then put it all back together.
It works now. My guess is that taking it out and then placing it back in along with the resetting options that others have done was the trick. I believe it is a possibility that the hard drive became locked mechanically in some strange manner after ejecting a DVD in conjunction with the uploading of the new OS. I believe the actual removal, reinstallation, and resetting of the drive put everything back into sync. My computer sits in a climate controlled dust free environment. I knew for a fact that this hard drive was OKAY. -

I somehow made it full screen with a click
Hey,
As ideato suggested, F11 will do the job on Windows.
But that only brings you back from the full screen mode.
If you wish to get back your toolbar and menu bar, left click
on Firefox.
There you will find Options.
When you click on options, you will find Menu Bar and Navigation Toolbar.
Simply selecting them will do the job (if they are not already selected). -
my 4th generation ipod nano works but its a guessing game. the screen is totally black even when plugged into my computer. itunes still recognizes it. is the screen broke is it the backlight, any suggestions how to find out or to fix this? oh and ive completely restored the ipod several times. i let someone borrow it and this is how i got it back so i dont know what caused the problem.
Message was edited by: robynd369I checked for anything either bent or broken, and as far as I know everything looks fine, though I could probably clean out the dust and dirt collected in there after a year. I could take a picture if that would help. Would being dirty inside there cause this to happen? It's one thing I guess I never thought of and probably should do.

If you click the magnifying glass on the top right, you can get list view which shows all upcoming events. Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but worth a shot.
