Tip of the Day for Big iMac Users
I really like the 24-inch iMac but sometimes the font size in messages and used
on certain web pages seem too small for my eyes. I don't remember where I read
the OSX tip but it is simple and works great
Hold down the "control" key and scroll up/down with the Mighty Mouse scroll
button.
Try it..... you may like it

Actually, if you try aRKay's tip on a Windows PC, you'll notice something similar happens
Even better, Windoze has a "Large Fonts" setting for use on fine-pitch displays.
The 20"-24" IMacs and Cinema Displays are approx. 94 dpi, but most (all?) OS-X apps are setup for 72 dpi -- so, nearly ALL displayed fonts are 25% undersized. For example, Safari renders all fonts 25% smaller than the web page designer intended.
Rumor has it that Leopard will (finally!) fix this.
Looby

The keyboard for my iMac 9, got wet and is not working correctly. Delete ,return, and some other keys not functioning. In all caps including numerals. I've left it to dry for a few days but still will not work. Computer now in Safe boot mode and I can't login due to all caps and numbers being symbols. Is there anything I can do?
Buy a replacement keyboard. They're only $50-65 USD.

Hi all,
We have an odd happening in one of our video labs here at work. When launching AE CS3 (ver 8 i believe?) the tip of the day window pops up after the program launches, but it's blank. This happens on all but one of the machines in the lab. Nothing had been installed lately - and oddly was working up until late last night. I have been googling - searching this forum and only found one entry that was on the windows side and it was deemed an OS problem - i.e. no help
Some info before I launch into my troubleshooting actions:
all machines are the same
Mac OS 10.6.8 ( we can't upgrade any further as the instructor doesn't wan't to teach the latest version of Final Cut)
MacPro (4.1)
Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz
6 GB ram
OS Drive 500 GB drive
Here's what I've done
Re-installed the App hoping for a quick fix - no go
Unistalled (deleting all prefs) and re-installed - no go
Located an update and installed (8.02) - no go
located user prefs and deleted - no go
I'm at my wit's end and no relief seems to be in sight. I know I can't be the only one that's experiencing this - Basically we can't use the program at all once that blank tip screen pops up - all menus are greyed out and even AE's help is greyed out as well. We're forced to force quit the program to gain access to the machine again.
Help!
Thanks
JoeWell, I work at a university - we don't have the budget to do the upgrade treadmil on all the software we try to support - we've got to work with what we have - I can see that I'm going to get no where with that type of attitude - no wonder why most universities are going to find alternatives to Adobe - just my 2 cents. I asked a question - I didn't need to be berated by a company that we've pumped tens of thousands of dollars over the years just to say well, screw you

Hi folks. I have some good news, and some bad news. Bad news: Nothing you do on the Set Top Box will affect the "tip of the day"That's my software that is making that pop up. Good news: It was accidently turned on in a recent release, and we have gonethrough and turned it back off. I know it's anoying, and we are very sorry wemade it. It was designed to help a user for the first time figure out how to use theXR11. It seemed like a good idea then.

How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?
How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?
DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application. -
Scripting a "Tip of the day" Text Box, Requesting Help!!
Hi there folks,
I need the help of an experienced scripter, I'm in the
process of creating a website and I need help with the Flash SWF
that will be on the Title Page.
When someone arrives on my site I want a small Text Box to show
a "Tip of the Day" or a Random Phrase in the swf on the homepage of
the website.
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to do this and I cannot
find anything to help me in the Flash Support File either. Ideally
I'm looking for someone to post a sample script on this thread so I
can have a look at it and learn from it.
Any Help would be much appreciated!!A quick and dirty way:
- In a new Flash document, make a Dynamic Text box (Text Tool
-> Properties -> Dynamic Text) on your stage
- Name it something you'll remember (example: 'my_text')
- Add the following actionscript (preferably in a new layer):
And that's it. This isn't the prettiest code, and hardly the
best. Your SWF will be slightly bloated because of the use of a
Button Component . Also, putting all your quotes inside the Flash
movie makes it difficult to add new ones (you'll have to recompile
every time you do) and will increase the movie's size. But it's a
start. -
Can i set up separate bookmarks in safari for each iMac user

Searched the support community to unearth this (bit aged, but unanswered)question. Me too face the same problem. SAFARI BOOKMARKS show up the same under all user accounts. Searched all possible setting options but no obvious setting options found (at least by me) to keep them seperate for different users. Can anyone help?

SQL Developer 1.5: Tip of the Day Request
<p>If you have found a hidden gem or have a keystroke or short cut that you use all the time, and you can describe it in a few sentences or small paragraph, let us know and we'll add it into the SQL Developer 1.5 Tip of the Day.
<p>You can send your tips to us in 2 ways: using this thread or by adding it to the Exchange. The useful thing about the Exchange is that you can see and vote on each others tips, but adding to this thread might be easier. (Please don't use this thread for bugs.)
<p>This should be fun and useful too. The developer team can add things that we think you might need to know about, but you can add things you really use.
<p>Thanks!

Hello,
I've been looking for an answer to this for some time, but I
can't find one: Is there some way to have a "Tip of the day"
display in its own window when a CHM (or any HTML) help file is
called?
Thanks,
AndyHi Andy
Often a Tip of the Day is presented using a special help file
that contains only tips. And your developer creates code that
manages it. But there are a few JavaScript solutions out there.
Perhaps check out the links below.

How do i find the url for my iMac
How di I find the URL for my iMac?
Can you explain in more detail what you mean? A URL is the address of a website - such as Apple.com or Harvard.edu. A computer will only have a URL if it has been set up as a web server and has name servers pointing to it (so that people looking for yourcomputer.com will be sent to the right place).
Conversely, every computer has an IP address, which is numerical. If you're connected directly to your internet, you will have a public IP address (it might look like 245.46.120.30, for example). Most people connect to the internet through a router, though, which gives them a private IP address only visible within their own network (something like 192.168.1.4).
