Switching between documents

I used cmd+` to switch between documents many times, yet all of a sudden the short cut does not work any more. No problem with other cmd short cuts. Could anyone be of help?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Switching between documents in Pages

I am in the habit of working with multiple Pages documents at once and must manually click "Window" to move to the other document. I know that if I need to switch to another application I can use "Command + Tab", however is there a way to switch between documents in Pages other than using the "Windows" menu?

Hi jordalex325
Welcome to the forum.
The function is a +system wide function+ so you find it in the Finder:
+Menu > Window > Cycle through Windows+
In English the shortcut shows as +command `+ on the menu, look in the same menu in Swedish and see what it suggests there.
*Swedish keyboard*
!http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/KBSweden.svg/500px-KBSweden.svg.png!
The ` key is on the top row, far right and combined with the shift key.
Amendment: On closer examination this is actually a PC keyboard. I am trying to source a Swedish Mac Keyboard image, so far unsuccessfully. Maybe you could tell us what is different meanwhile.
*English Keyboard*
!http://images.apple.com/keyboard/images/gallery/wired120070813.jpg!
You could try that or try remapping the shortcut in:
+System Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts+
Peter
PS Try opening +Show Keyboard Viewer+ from your input menu on the top right of the menu bar and see what characters are where when you type.

Keyboard shortcut for switching between documents?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for switching between open documents? That sure would save me a lot of time.

Command + tilde (the key to the left of the number 1
This works to switch between windows in any app.

Network activity when switching between documents

We have a user with InDesign CS5.5 on a Mac. Here's the scenario:
-The user has a document with many linked images in multiple libraries (document is stored on the network).
-The user opens a second document or a blank document.
When the user switchs from the blank document to the "big" document, it takes 5-7 seconds to switch over. Opening the Activity Monitor in Mac OS shows that a lot of network activity is going on during the swtich between documents. It looks like it re-downloads the whole document each time. Switching from the "big" document to the blank one is pretty instantaneous. Is something trying to "update" the whole document each time the user switches tabs?

That's what I'm thinking, but it wasn't doing that before and isn't doing it on other computers.

Problem switching between documents

Since i updated from Flash CS3 to CS5 adobe removed the its ability to jump between documents using keyboard shorcuts. Before it was possible to use MacOS X's nativecommand ( "cmd + <" ) to get to the next document, but now it isnt.
Photoshop atleast added a new keyboard shortcut (ctrl + tab) that made it possible to that while in tabbed window mode.
I've googled for a long while but couldnt find any solutution to this.
So if you know how to solve this i'd be very happy.
/T

Perhaps you should try another app to manage your code outside Flash such as the very popular FlashDevelop? It is a windows app but many people run it virtualized. It has much better code completion in my opinion. I had issues with selecting text in Flash's actionscript panel. I have no idea why but every time I put my cursor at the beginning of a line and hold shift while pressing down to highlight lines of code I want to copy it would wrap my selection too far down to the next line. EXTREMELY irritating to me. FlashDevelop became my favorite until I got Flash Builder.
You can also check out FDT. Eclipse can be used with a plugin which I hear is similar to Flash Builder but I never tried it. Ultimately try other code dev environments. You'll probably find that Flash's actionscript panel is quite terrible.

Error when switching between drafts: "The instruction at "0x009f6487" ...

Running Contribute CS3 and get this error frequently when switching between documents in the Draft Console:
The instruction at "0x009f6487" referenced memory at "0x06bd7a24". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on Cancel to debug the program
I do not get this error any other time. Only when editing multiple documents and switching between them. Clicking Save for Later on the toolbar, instead of clicking directly on the document in the Draft Console does not help.
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

Can you please try clearning the Contribute preferences?
To Clear the preference, quit Contribute, and then delete the Contribute CS3 folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\ and also run the following command " reg delete "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Contribute 4.1" /f " if you are using Contribute CS3. Reconnect to the site and try the same scenario.
Note that, if you clear the preferences then no connection will be listed in Contribute, you need to recreate the connections. It will be like a fresh installation.

How to change Switch between open documents keyboard shortcut (default Control + Tab or Cmd + ~)

I use Control + Tab and Control + Shift + Tab or Cmd + ~ and Cmd + Shift + ~ to switch between tab back and forth alot how do I change the shortcut to something else?
On Photoshop CC 2014 mac

No, there isn't. you can't even set your own shor cut keys as you don't know what the documents will be named. Normally you can add short cuts keys but only for those menus options that already exist but your documents will change. I have searched for the answer earlier as I also want it.
There is in the Pages Help menu an option for Keyboard shorcuts but nothing is mentioned ther about changing document windows.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between open documents?

Is there an easy way to switch between 2 or 3 open documents in Pages, as when trying to combine excerpts from several places into a new document?

Why can't I translate between Swedish and Polish in the same Word document. This means I want to switch between two keyboards.

Why can't I get a Polish keyboard easily accessible from within my Word program? I have to choose it in Finder and then I can't switch back and forth between English/Swedish and Polish in the same Word document. Surely there must be a simple way of doing this by means of keyboard commands while I write, or do I have to go back to my old PC for that?
Ulf Magnusson

(1) You are talking about switching keyboard layouts, not about translating from Swedish to Polish or viceversa.
(2) The keyboard layout choice is not a function of the application (MS Word) in either Mac OS X or Windows; it is a system choice.
(3) Read
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp2214.html>
specifically "Input source list" and "Input source shortcuts".
In short, you choose the three keylayouts you wish to use for English, Polish, and Swedish, respectively, and then you set the shortcuts you prefer to use to switch between them.
And it's all there, in the Help files, on your very own computer…

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
Bob

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

Dreamweaver 6.1 - JavaScript error when switching between open tabs

When switching between open tabs a sequence of javascript
errors occurs. I had not used Dreamweaver for about 2 weeks, and
last time I used it with no problems.
I have tried uninstalling it, OKing removal of all files when
asked, re-installing it and updating with dwmx61_updater.exe, but I
still get the same errors.
This has rendered the software virtually unuseable, so any
help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm working to a
rapidly-approaching deadline.
"While executing Browse_Back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Forward enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
The relevant code seems to be :

<toolbar id="Browser_Toolbar" platform="win"
label="Browser Navigation" container="document"
initiallyVisible="false">
<button id="Browse_Back"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/back.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/back_dis.gif"
tooltip="Back"
label="Back"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('back')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.backPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Forward"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/forward.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/forward_dis.gif"
tooltip="Forward"
label="Forward"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('forward')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.forwardPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Stop"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/stop.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/stop_dis.gif"
tooltip="Stop"
label="Stop"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.getPageBusy()"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.stopPage()"
update="onBrowserPageBusyChange"/>
<button id="Browse_Refresh"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/browserRefresh.gif"
tooltip="Refresh"
label="Refresh"
enabled="true"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.refreshPage()"/>
presumably the next error is caused by the previous ones
failing :
"While executing getCurrentValue in AddressURL.htm, a
JavaScript error occurred"
the relevan tcode :
function getCurrentValue()
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var value = dom.browser.getURL();
if (value && value.length)
//check if is it not a temp file
//extract the tail of the url
var filename = value;
var slashIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
filename = filename.substring(slashIndex+1);
var tempIndex = filename.indexOf("TMP");
if (tempIndex != 0)
addRecentAddress(value);
return value;

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card? You may be viewing document on different gpu's. PS does not like multiple gpu's.

IWork Apps Closing When Switching Between Open Applications

I am having an issue with iWork applications shutting down when I am switching between open applications. For example, if I have Pages running, but no document open, and I use the command/tab command to switch to another program, then try to go back to Pages, I find that it has closed and must be reopened. The same thing happens with Keynote. If however, the program is open and a document or presentation is open, I can switch without the program closing. Is anyone else experiencing this? I can't find any other references to it. I am running a Macbook Pro with the latest version of Yosemite and the newest versions of Pages and Keynote.
Thanks.

Yokay, so no one else is experiencing this issue. Pretend you were, do any possible solutions come to mind?

How to quickly switch between straight and curly quotes?

I've recently moved from a Windows XP machine with MS Office to a Mac Pro with Pages.
For the kinds of documents I typically work on, sometimes I need to have straight quotes, and sometimes curly quotes. With MS Word, I was able to create a couple of macros that would switch these preferences for me. With these macros linked to an icon in the toolbar, switching between straight and curly quotes was as easy as clicking a button.
Now I'm looking for a way to do this -- or something like it -- with Pages.
I know how to switch back and forth using the preferences menu, of course, but I'm looking for something quicker and simpler, since I often have to make this change several times a day.
Can Automator do something like this? Or is there another way?
-- Eric

Turn off the auto correction and you can type Curly quotes with:
left single ‘ option ]
right single ’ option shift ]
left double “ option [
right double ” option shift [
If you want the French quotes « and » they are option and option shift |
