Tack Pad Question

I've read some of the other posts regarding track pad issues, but mine is different.
When using the pointer/click/hold for scrolling (e.g., moving the blue bar to the left, up or down in a browser or other pages like Word), it takes a very firm depression in the very lower right hand corner to get the bar to move. It use to only take a light depression anywhere in the lower 1/2 of the pad.
Anyone had a similar issue? Any fix?
Thanks:
Leo

HI, Louis X!V
a similar thing has been reported recently here on this forum. I would say, it's not normal, but a hardware failure. contact apple.
sorry for the dry reply - but more than 200 years after the declaration of Human Rights, i can't be less polite to a self-declared souverein (unless he signs with the name of Sarko... and then i'll be even less polite).

Can anyone help me to get the Tack pad drivers for windows 7 on mAcBook Air..

If you've created the Windows 7 Drivers CD/USB drive, using Boot Camp Assistant in OSX, the drivers should be on there. My MacBook Pro (2010) touchpad works fine with those drivers installed, and I think it's identical to the Air's.

Click on tack pad re-positions window.

An odd and really annoying thing is happening with my 2yr old 13 inch macbook pro. At a certain point the current active window will not accept input from the keyboard, and the next click from the tack pad will re-position the current window to where i left click with the track pad. This is really driving me nuts! This happens with both the internal track pad on the mac book pro, or with the external blue tooth track pad. I've dug through the track pad options, and I don't see anything that would explain this. A bug? Or am I missing setting or something?
Thanks

TalonK,
Thank you for your prompt and correct assistance. Very much appreciated!

Tack pad is unresponsive

My tack pad is unresponsive after waking up the iMac. The machine is an Intel i5 running OS X 10.7.4.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have the same problem. Do you use Time Machine?

Ticky-tack Metadata Questions

Does anyone happen to know
1. if the 64 /character/ limit includes hyphenation marks < - > or spaces (I assume not).
2. is it better to include words that go together as in - "Madonna's Roman Getup" as opposed to - Madonna's Roman Getup, so that the words are keyed together as one in some way?
3. Am I supposed to be separating Keywords with a Comma or a Semicolon? In the documentation I seem to see them on separate lines with no commas but also separated with commas and the text seemed to indicate using semi-colons.
THANKS

1. Hyphens, angle brackets, spaces, and the like _are_ characters. That's why the limit isn't expressed as "64 letters".
2a. I find it helpful to not use spaces in Keywords. For example: "LookingAtCamera", "LookingUp", "LookingDown".
2b. The choice of using one Keyword or more than one up to you. There are different utilities in "Hair", "Blond", "Brown", "Red", "Bald" and "HairBlond", "HairRed", "HairBrown", "HairNone".
3. When and where? Separate Keywords with commas when typing more than one in the Keywords field of the Metadata tab of the inspector. From the User Manual:
To add a keyword, type a keyword in the Keywords field.
Note: All keywords must be separated by commas (,).
Where does the text " ... seem to indicate using semicolons"?

Sluggish Tack Pad and Mouse

I found a solution to fix sluggish and unresponsive beavior in the Magic Mouse and Trackpad. This worked for me after trying many other things with no success. Locate the Plist for the Bluetooth. Macintosh HD>library>Preferences>com.apple.bluetooth.Plist. Move the com.apple.bluetooth.Plist to the trash and your sytem will rebuild a new configuration for your bluetooth devices and your problem will hopefully be gone! Make sure you select your Mouse and Trackpad Favorite as well and this should clear up ant issue! I hope this helps!

I finally got this figured out.
1. Open system preferences click trackpad.
2. Uncheck everything.
3. Open Magicprefs
4. Boom! issue solved.

Help Required For HF100 Used With FCE 4 ?

No, it's not for me.
A few days ago Tom Bigley tacked this question onto another HF100 thread but it seems to have gone unnoticed, so I am reprinting it here:-
"Forgive me if I am going over old ground but I have just acquired a HF100 and want assurance I have understood the AVCHD/FCE relationship correctly.
I must use High Quality XP at 12Mbps (1440 x 1080)
I cannot use High Quality FXP (1920 x 1080)
I cannot use Cine and 25Mbps or I get into interlacing complications
I import using Easy SetUp set to Apple Intermediate Codec
with the Use Tab set to HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50
Am I there or are there any other pitfalls I've overlooked?

Hello Richy
My first thought is, can't you just put the graphic elements in to the photo with your choice of editor?
It looks like you are trying to position two yellowy-green lines in the page as well. You could put one of those lines in to the image and one in the left panel as a background (I'm not absoulutely clear where they go but I think I've made a pretty good guess.)
You could try adding a header div and using a slice of the image as a background and position your logo elements in that with float, margin, padding or whatever.
Basically, you have a two column layout which is quite simple so there should be a solution.
You could try putting the main image as a background image and position your graphic elements in the content panel (div)?
If your main image is a background though, I think you might have a bit more difficulty with height so, you would have to perhaps use the left column content to determine height.
These are just a few thoughts but given with the caveat of my novice status! I've only just learned to tie my HTML shoe laces.
Good luck
Martin
PS I remember a few years ago now, bing advised through these pages to only use absolutely positioned elements if you really have no other alternative and then if you do, to only use one! Since then, I haven't ever used one.
PPS I like your design very much but I am not sure about that bright yellow text? The pink circle looks as though it should be crazy but it fits beautifully with your colour scheme. That yellow hits off it a bit in my mind and jars a little.

Terrible control lag with Garageband...

Help. I am using GarageBand with a new Macbook Air (i5 Intel, 4 gig ram, Lion) and while tracking, mixing, etc with multiple tracks of loops, samples and actual recordings of guitars/vocals, etc, it can take anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds for a single command to register while playing these tracks. This lag is killing me and makes using Garageband near uselss. Trying to adjusting the volume or pan when there is a 30 second lag to each input from the mouse or tack pad is absolutely infuriating. And that is just for simple tasks. Is my new MacAir that underpowered, or could there be something else going on? I do not run any other applications in the background (firefox, iphoto, calendar, etc). I am using a Focusright Scarlett 212 for input/output. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is highly unlikely that my problem is caused by "add-ons or hardware acceleration," because the ONLY thing that changed from one minute to the next is that I upgraded Firefox. I have all the same add-ons I had with 3.6 (except for 2 that were disabled because they're incompatible)--so why would they be causing a problem with 12.0?
I am doubly angry over this, because while I was on this site posting my question, I was INVOLUNTARILY "upgraded" to 13.0, despite the fact that I had unchecked the automatic upgrade option! And I had thought Mozilla was better than the Evil Empire. Clearly I was just being naive.
System Restore, here I come.

Multi-Touch Trackpad in Windows 7 Pro x64

Macbook Pro Unibody
OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard)
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Bootcamp 2.1
Trackpad Update 1.1
Just upgraded my Boot Camp partition from Win XP x32 to Win 7 x64. Or rather, I did a clean install, not an upgrade. I'm running all of the above listed stuff. Muti-Touch isn't working on the tack pad, so I don't have RMB functionality and I'm really missing two finger scrolling.
Also, looking in the Boot Camp Control Panel, I don't appear to have any trackpad options, even after installing the trackpad update. I just tried installing it again, and I get a message saying that it won't update my drivers for the tackpad because what I'm trying to install isn't better than what I already have. That's all well and good, but the pad still isn't working with multi-touch.
Any helpful suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I didn't do anything proactive to get it to work, just the things I mentioned above. Installed Boot Camp 2.1, installed the Trackpad 1.1 update, uninstalled Boot Camp 2.1, Installed Boot Camp 3.0. Side scrolling just started working.
The only thing that's a tad finicky is multi-touch RMB. It works, more or less, but, for example, if I RMB on a bookmark in Firefox to access it's properties (let's say I want to rename it), I have to hold my two fingers down in the click position as as I move the cursor into the conext menu. Otherwise it will launch the bookmarked page. So you can't just two-finger-click on something to evoke a context menu, let go, then use one finger to navigate to the option you want, which is how I would expect it to work.

IChat and Final Cut Pro

So I have about an eight year-old Sony TRV 330 camcorder and am desperate to transfer old tapes to iMac - got rid of old Windows Vista to get an iMac that'd make this possible. Hooked it up dozens of times (firewire/IEEE 1394, camera) opened iMovie 08 and nothing - it always defaults to built-in iChat camera. Read up on line and it was recommended to try using iMovie 06 to transfer footage, then to export to iMovie 08. Downloaded 06, still the same. Procured Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, hooked up firewire, nothing - not even iChat camera popped up in capture screen, although I noticed audio input channels were moving with the present audio in the room.
What am I missing? From what I've read, this is not an impossible task. How come my computer(s) do not seem to be able to even detect the camera? The obvious answer is there is something wrong with firewire and/or camera, but I know both work because I tried them on the very old laptop of a friend of mine (which she got rid of days ago) and all I did was plug it all in and footage started playing on iMovie capture screen.
Also tried Quicktime Pro, same thing - iChat, that green light, my mug on screen.
What am I missing? Again, I know firewire works, as does camera. Again, when in Log and Capture, it always defaults to iChat, which I cannot seem to disable and, even so, the computer doesn't seem to be recognizing the camera. Again, I understand the camera is not technically compatible and well, outdated, but again, others seem to have had much success with the same mix of iMac, camera model and FCP.
I am thinking, even with a brand-new HD camera, it will still default to the bloody built-in iChat camera (despite changing setting on iChat says "Automatically open iChat when external camera is turned on" to OFF).
Can't tell you how much this is needed. Thanks so much in advance.

All you ever wanted to now about Rosetta is right HERE.
Not to be snippy, but in the future, it is probably a good idea to start a new thread instead of tacking a question onto a related thread. That way, if someone has the same question, they can quickly find the answer in a search rather than wade through another thread.
Stick around. We'd love to see you asking questions and helping others too.
Peace.

Prune pointless queries
Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like "Can anyone help me?" or "Is there an answer?" First: if you've written your problem description halfway competently, such tacked-on questions are at best superfluous. Second: because they are superfluous, Forum regulars find them annoying - and are likely to return logically impeccable but dismissive answers like "Yes, you can be helped" and "No, there is no help for you."
--Paraphrased from [How To Ask Questions The Smart Way|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html] by Eric Steven Raymond
So, the answer is yes. Your first step would be to post your actual question.

Create your JFrames, then use
myFirstFrame.setVisible( true );
// time to launch second
mySecondFrame.setVisible( true );
// time to hide second

hey all, i just purchased two 1gig sticks of ddr2 ram, fast as they come for my 2ghz macbook. i currently am using 512meg ram and it is horrendously slow!!! running firefoxichatmail= slower than my imac g5 running final cut pro, adobe photoshop, indesign, soundtrack, firefox, mail, ical, and ichat. so my question is, did i make the right decision? is the xtra 1.5gigs of ram gonna show me that big of a difference?

All you ever wanted to now about Rosetta is right HERE.
Not to be snippy, but in the future, it is probably a good idea to start a new thread instead of tacking a question onto a related thread. That way, if someone has the same question, they can quickly find the answer in a search rather than wade through another thread.
Stick around. We'd love to see you asking questions and helping others too.
Peace.

IP address not showing when creating Network Session

Hi,
Odd one here. I have been having issues with CoreMIDI lately. To try to rectify I deleted my existing Network Session 1 from the Network applet in the Audio MIDI app. This has been working fine with lots of iPad based synths except for one app (V-Control Pro) but having tried all other avenues to fix my problems I deleted the session.
I created a new session and enabled it but where it used to show the IP address of my Mac Pro i.e.
192.168.254.4:5004
The iPad used to show up automatically in that window and I could select it and click connect and all would be fine.
Now it only shows the bonjour/AD name of my Mac i.e.
crapple:5004
and the iPad no longer shows up until I either open a CoreMIDI app on the pad or I open MIDIBridge on the pad
question 1: Why does my IP address no longer show up?
question 2: Has MIDIbridge "hijacked" CoreMIDI on the pad so that it will only appear on my Mac Pro when it is open?
Thanks
jake

Hi Jason,
Possible answer to Q1: I don't think Audio/MIDI setup ever shows a raw IP address unless you keyed it in yoursel once upon a time. Given the IP address range you quote is dynamic, the iPad's IP address could change over time, I'd suggest you are safest using the bonjour name of the iPad to connect from the Mac (when it is visible - see below).
Answer to Q2: No, MidiBridge hasn't hijacked CoreMIDI, but you need at least one CoreMIDI network aware app running in order for the network session to be activated on the iPad. MidiBridge is one such app and since you generally would start it and leave it running in the background will keep the session active for you.
