Suggestion for trackpad "virtual button" area.  PLEASE!

Thank you for fixing the "clicks not registering" issue.
I have another problem that is quite frustrating, coming from a previous macbook pro. I am used to the two finger right click and often when I'm highlighting text I'm using one finger to move the mouse, the other to "click" and guess what? It right clicks. ANNOYANCE. Sure, I can only use one finger and click-highlight-drag but it's not natural to me. It's rahter annoying since I use my THUMB to move the mouse (as most users I imagine) and not my index finger so it's kind of inconvenient.
Another problem is that when I'm moving my mouse cursor and I want to click a button (let's say, a submit button or a hyperlink) I use my other finger to "click" the link and woops, the trackpad thinks i moved the cursor a bit. Minor annoyance when clicking on a large button, but major annoyance when clicking on a tiny hyperlink.
Here's my proposed solution that should be software implementable that will satisfy your loyal users who are still used to having a dedicated button:
Make an adjustable deadzone on the trackpad for acting as a mousebutton. Make it so we can choose a section of the trackapd to act as a button and only a button. Make it so that it won't move the curosr if I rest my finger on there.
It'd be so easy ( i imagine ) for you to implement as an option for your users. Just gimmie my mouse button back!

If you wish to provide a feature request do so here: Feedback. No one at Apple reads these Discussions.

  • Suggestion for a good button theme

    Hey,
    Looking for a suggestion for a good button. I do not have access to Photoshop and all I am using is the ones that can with Studio Pro. It is just a plan white square. This is a Christian family movie so something more to the point of the theme might work.
    Any ideas?

  • Scripting for when all buttons are clicked

    Im quite new to flash well at least the scripting part of it.
    I'm much more of a designer and I'm having big problems I know that
    it is prob very simple but I am totally useless at it! Can some1
    please just point me in the right direction thank you xxx

    If you're testing in flash you should see some trace outputs
    in the output panel. If you don't then there's something not
    working right.
    When you press each of your buttons, you want the main
    timeline to go to a different frame right? You need to set those
    frame targets in the code.
    example for but_bat:
    {button:but_bat, gotoFrame:2},
    this sets things up so that when but_bat is pressed, the
    timeline goes to frame 2.
    You will need to set the others for their correct frame
    targets. Just change the numbers for gotoFrame:
    number here
    Is what you want to happen when
    all of the buttons have been clicked that a congratulations
    sign movieclip is played? (You haven't said what you wanted it to
    do at that point, so I'm afraid I couldn't know that ;-) ) At the
    moment I've set the script up so that it checks... but all it does
    is trace an output:'I would normally want to do something special
    from this point' where whatever you want to have happen when
    they're all pressed would be requested by actionscript. If you tell
    me what that is, I can tell you the code to do it.

  • Need Suggestions for Good Virtual Back Drops

    Hello--
    We are looking for a good, hi-res backdrop/set for chroma key replacement.
    We are looking for a business/office look.
    Anyone know of a good company?
    Thanks,

    Gee, I wish you had said that this is for PC
    only--considering this is a Final Cut forum on an
    Apple website.
    Man, I'm sorry!
    I came across them a while back and always had it bookmarked. I never really took the time to get into what they actually did. I thought they were static shots.
    I guess the PC software lets you pan around etc including shadows etc.
    Hmmm
    Sorry.

    ps - I do hope you were kidding with the snide (ironic) comments... I'll send some F-16s your way if you aren't careful... I've got a finger on that button. Oh -- I'll be in Orange County in a few weeks... mind keeping those fires down?? Yikes.

  • TS1559 Apple's suggestions for wifi graying out are not working

    There is either a latent defect with the hardware or there is a problem with the software. Why is Apple not sorting this out?

  • Suggestion for additions and corrections to FAQ's

    The FAQ forum will constantly evolve as issues are added and updated. Since the topics are read only other than to forum workers, we wanted to give users a special topic where they can add their suggestions for additions and corrections.
    Please keep in mind that all forum workers are volunteers, they do this because they enjoy helping other users.

    Chris,
    Like I said, Im relatively new to PhotoShop and PS forum. I have researched the PS manual, PS help topics and this forum. I am not an individual that would ask a question of hard-working volunteers about a subject that I have not already researched. And yes, I know and understand what FAQs are and how they are generally presented on the web.
    Huh? The FAQ section is for administrators to add things to, not users. If you have a question, you ask in the main forum. If many people ask the same question, then the administrators add an entry to the FAQ.
    Okay if this is true, how was I able to post a message? I wasnt aware that I couldnt post a FAQ suggestion to the FAQ suggestion Forum? Hmm, maybe I missed the
    small print on that one.
    Look ... I do NOT want to create any hostility with you. You have given me some answers and I appreciate your comments. I will go back and "wade through" all of the forums to look for basic or frequent problems that may answer some frequent questions.
    Cheers!

  • Suggestions for Personalized Advanced Photoshop Support via Email

    Can you suggest an individual who could offer personalized Photoshop and Lightroom support via email? I am an advanced user with 20-years of experience using Photoshop; so I want someone who knows more than me. They need to have excellent interpersonal skills. I want contact with one person who is easy accessible and I'm willing to pay for the privilege.
    I am not looking for classes or online training. I want personalized support for questions as they come up as I work. I imagine paying for help as I use it. If this works well I could see establishing a long-term relationship.
    I am a successful full-time, self-employed artist/photographer using Photoshop and Lightroom to make large fine art prints.
    Some of the questions I might want help with might include:
    How to create actions for specific workflows
    How to fine-tune the interface to hide things I don't need to see
    Suggestions for optimizing prints that are greater than 10-feet wide
    Suggestions for improving my workflow to be more efficient
    Help with improving my masking skills
    Help with compositing skies in landscapes
    Occasionally I need to use Illustrator with Photoshop and find myself quickly lost.
    An Adobe Certified Expert is prefered.
    At least three eferences needed.
    I am working on a new high-end Mac with dual 30-inch monitors. I am running the latest versions of Adobe Creative Suite CS5.
    If you know of someone who meets my criteria and would consider working with me have them email me at [email protected]
    Thanks,

    Not a proper answer to your question, but still …
    How to create actions for specific workflows
    Actions are a valuable tool, but for streamlining certain workflow items you may want to look into Scripting Photoshop.
    How to fine-tune the interface to hide things I don't need to see
    Just in case you have not yet, do check out Configurator:

  • How will iCloud Keychain give me suggestions for a perfect password?

    I want a password suggestion for my apple ID. so please tell me a way to get passwords from keychain.
    Thank you

    There has been no announcement yet whether iCloud Keychain will be available for third party apps to tap into.
    It would make sense, as long as security was maintained, but it doesn't appear that Apple have created any API's that third party apps could incorporate yet. Perhaps it will come in time, same as the new TouchID on iPhone 5s.

    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.

    You need to reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Buttons are not displayed for the first time when drawImage method is used

    Hi
    In my swing window 2 buttons are there and when clicking these buttons, it should display an image . The two buttons are displayed at the first time and I can click on it . While clicking a button , the corresponding image is also got displayed. [ I am using drawImage() function for it] But what the problem is, then the two buttons are not displayed and it will be displayed again when the mouse moves along the position of these two buttons. And this problem occurs only at the first time..When they are on the window on a second time, they won't vanish when the image is displayed when clicking it. Is this the problem with paint() method?. I am using start() method also.
    Please help me!
    Thank You

    Hi
    This is not my exact program, that has a large no: of code. So I am putting here a sample one. One thing I would like to point out is that , I can see the buttons at the time of loading the applet and suddenly it vanishes and the image is drawn. Then if I move the mouse along the position of these buttons , they got displayed.
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    /*<applet code = MyClass width = 500 height = 500>
    </applet>
    public class MyClass extends JApplet
    Image img;
    JButton b1,b2;
    Container cp;
    Canvas1 cv;
    class Canvas1 extends JPanel
    public void paint(Graphics g)
    super.paint(g);
    g.setColor(Color.black);
    g.fillRect(0,0,500,500);
    img = getImage(getCodeBase(),"image1.jpeg");
    g.drawImage(img,20,20,this);
    public void start()
    cv = new Canvas1();
    cv.setBounds(0,0,500,500);
    cp.add(cv);
    public void init()
    setLayout(null);
    cp = getContentPane();
    b1 = new JButton("Button1");
    b1.setBounds(1,1,100,30);
    cp.add(b1);
    b2 = new JButton("Button2");
    b2.setBounds(200,1,100,30);
    cp.add(b2);
    It would be very helpful to me if you could fix the problem.
    Thank You.

  • After clearing cash on mac applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player with app cleaner and again download and instal new but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. Please advise me?!

    After clearing cash on my mac ( Go to folder: ~/Library/Caches and clear all, than to Library/Cashes and clear all again) applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player, firefox.. with app cleaner and again download and install the new one but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. I have done this cash clean up very often on Maverick without any problems. This time I done it again because I could not open my web site, the server has blocked me and I was trying everything including deleting cash from mac. Please advise me what to do..?!? Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?
