Tips for faster navigation with keyboard?

I've spent a bunch of time learning Aperture 3 this week, and much of it is starting to make sense.
One thing, however, still stumps me:
How do you quickly navigate with the keyboard among pictures, views, and projects?
I have carefully studied the "Aperture 3 Keyboard Shortcuts" help file, trying all the keystrokes listed, so far no luck. Because Aperture is targeted at professionals who deal with LARGE numbers of images and want to do it quickly and easily, I figure I must just be missing some key concepts or tricks.
EXAMPLE: in iPhoto, from the top level Events screen, you can:
1. move the highlight around with the keyboard ARROW keys to select an event,
2. press RETURN key to enter the event,
3. select a picture with the ARROW keys,
4a. press RETURN to maximize the picture within the iPhoto window,
4b. or OPTIONCOMMANDF to show that picture fullscreen.
Quickly getting back to the main Events page is super fast: just press the ESCape key twice.
In Aperture, I can't figure out the equivalent way of quickly drilling down into Projects, maximizing pictures, then retreating back to the top level Projects view. Perhaps I'm just not grokking The Aperture Way of doing things.
As far as I can tell, it requires:
1. Double-clicking with the MOUSE on a Project (keyboard presses just cause the error beep)
2. Move the highlight with the ARROW keys, just like iPhoto.
3a. Press the V key two times to maximize the picture within the Aperture window, or
3b. Press F to switch to Fullscreen Browser
3c. then V to switch to Fullscreen Viewer of the maximized image.
To get back to the list of Projects, instead of just hitting the ESCape key twice, I have to:
1. Press V to switch back from Viewer to Browser
2. Press F to cancel Fullscreen mode
3. Switch from keyboard to MOUSE, click on Projects left-arrow button at top left of window.
It doesn't sound like a lot of extra steps, but I'm always drilling down into Projects/Events, looking at images, then coming back up to the top level to drill down into a different Project/Event. Because Aperture appears to require extra transitional steps, I'm finding it generally slower and more awkward than iPhoto for the thing I do the most.
I hope I'm just not understanding the right way of doing things.
Suggestions?

CVI IDE: Is it possible to see list of functions for faster navigation?

Colleagues,
Very simple question about CVI IDE.
Is it possible to see whole list of functions for fast and convenient navigation, like in Micro$oft Visual Studio:
When I have C code with more than 20-30 functions and 2000+ lines - its a very inconvenient to scroll up and down every time...
I guess this feature should present in CVI, or I missing something?
How you working with relative large projects in CVI?
Thank you in advance,
Andrey.

CVI offers the Source Code Browser, which shows informations about files, functions, variables, data types and macros in your code. The code browser can be accessed in several ways: the easiest is to position over an element in the code and press Ctrl+F1: the lower part of the workbench will host the Source Code Browser area (though you can lately release this window to position it wherever you find it useful). There are several other ways to access these informations: I suggest you to look in the online help, topic Using LabWindows/CVI >> Writing Source Code >> Browsing Source Code
CVI has several other ways of navigating in your application:
Select a panel, menu or control callback and press Ctrl+Shift+U to go to the object in the UIR editor
Right-click on an element in the UIR editor to go to its callback (if any)
Select a function call in the code editor and press Ctrl+I to go to the function source
Select a filename and press Ctrl+U to open it in an editor window
... and others I don't remember now!

Some Tips for Cablecard Users with HBO

I have been using a cablecard with my Hauppauge DCR-2650 digital tuner and Windows Media Center on my Windows 7 PC for 3 months with no problems on any of the Prime HD channels. I just subscribed to HBO and was not able to access any of the HBO channels, SD or HD. The message "Subscription Required" would appear after a few seconds, along with a message saying I needed to obtain a subscription to HBO. After Live Chatting to 3 techs over 3 days, I was finally able to access the HBO channels. I'm not sure this solution is permanent, but this is what I did. First I updated the firmware and drivers for my Hauppauge device. Then when I Live Chatted with the technician, he performed a "manual cablecard validation". During this process he asked for my cablecard ID, the Host ID, the Data ID and the activation code. He had me switch channels from an HBO channel to a non-HBO channel, then back again. Voila! It worked. So if my HBO disappears in the future I'll be asking for a tech who knows how to perform a "manual cablecard validation". Now I had my HBO channels in HD, but the picture was flickering a bit, enough to make it annoying to watch. After Googling "HBO HD flicker" I found that the problem was not with the cablecard or Fios, but with the graphics adapter settings. I have an integrated graphics chip on my PC, an Intel 3000 graphics chip. I opened the graphics properties page and in the "Media" category under "Image Enhancement Option" I turned off the "Adaptive Contrast Enhancement" feature. This fixed the flicker. Hopefully this post will help those few who are using a cablecard with their Home Theater PCs.

Tip for Data Merge with Multiple Records (labels, etc.)

I have seen many InDesign Data Merge questions about how to create sheets of mailing labels, especially the problem of getting only one label per page, when you need 30 or more.
Adobe's instructions are poor and incomplete in that InDesign doesn't step out the records from a data source - it steps out the FRAMES that contain the data field placeholders.
That is why you only need to place a text or image frame once on a single page - during the datamerge, InDesign will create the additional FRAMES for each record, and it will create the pages required to hold them.
You do have to set the desired spacing on the
If you create the frame on a Master page, ID allows you to update the data source (when it changes) in the Data Merge tool panel.
These are very nice and robust features, but the documentation for them is confusing to many people.
You will find more great in-depth help for Data Merge, with screen captures and attachments, here in the forum.

For a multiple record merge you need one set of placeholders, then set the margins and spacing in the merge options so the positioning is correct.
Warning: Using Preview in a multiple record merge will corrupt the file. If you press the preview button, Undo after looking at the preview, then merge without using preview.

Better navigation with keyboard

I'm a developer and basically use a keyboard and it's shortcuts. I want to see better support of keyboard navigation e.g. navigation through contacts, recent chats, typing is chats, comming back to recents and so on.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As a developer, you may know that keyboard shortcut tips is usually shown in the menu after the feature you want. All this is possible using the keyboard today, if one single Skype window is open, and focused, (in split mode atleast, you do run in split mode?) Providing that the focus cursor in chat windows are fixed.

Does anyone have tips for using iphone with Microsoft Outlook ?

The functionality of the Iphone operating system with MS Outlook is very poor compared to a Blackberry. Does anyone know how to:
- Sort by name (the Iphone only sorts by subject, or "threads") ?
- Sort Sent mail (the Iphone only sorts e-mails in the inbox) ?
- Combine e-mails in the Inbox and Sent folders into one sort ... instead of sorting each mailbox separately, be able to combine them and then sort "?
- Forward a meeting notice ?
- Reply to all the invitees on a meeting notice ?

iPhone =/= iPod. You could go Ford or the site for MS sync and probably find which devices are officially supported.
Edit - So I just went too the site. It seems the compatibility varies between different configurations and between different models. I just looked at one, and the Ford Escape Hybrid with GPS system and all the stuff supports the iPhone 2.0. Mobiles are listed by carrier, so some may and some may not. So you would have to select what model Fusion you are considering and what options it may have.

Any tips for faster startup ?

DW CS3 needs about 10 seconds to start, sometimes even more.
This is quite annoying, on the same system UltraEdit 13 starts in
less than a second.
Are there any tricks to speed up the startup? DW seems to
load lots of things when starting, and I'm sure I don't need some
of them, but can this be configured?
For example Acrobat starts a lot faster if you delete or move
the plugins you don't need, possible to do sort of the same with
DW?
Thanks

Tips for printing photos with HP ePrint

Hello,
I will be giving you guys a couple of tips on how to print photos with HP ePrint. These are general tips to make it a little more easier to use HP ePrint.
#1: Have 4" x 6" photo paper preloaded in your printer
The first step in getting quality photo prints with HP ePrint is having 4" x 6" HP Photo Paper preloaded in your printer’s dedicated photo paper tray. If your HP ePrint-enabled printer doesn’t have a separate photo paper tray, just make sure that photo paper is the only paper loaded in the tray when printing photos.
All photos e-mailed with HP ePrint will print at a default size of 4" x 6".
If available, your photos will automatically print on paper from your printer’s dedicated photo paper tray.
If you don’t have photo paper loaded into your photo paper tray, this message will appear on the printer’s display: “Load paper into photo tray”.
If you have 5" x 7" paper loaded into the tray, it will still print a 4" x 6" photo on the paper, leaving a white border along the top and the side.
HP ePrint will ensure your image is printed with the correct orientation so your photo won’t be cut off.
#2: Make sure your photos have a high enough dpi
Check your image’s dpi: Right-click on your image on your PC’s desktop, then selectProperties, and the Details tab.
The second thing to remember when printing photos with HP ePrint is to make sure your digital images have a high enough resolution, or dpi (dots per inch).
Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc.) need to be at least 100 dpi in order to print via HP ePrint.
If you send a photo that is less than 100 dpi, it will not be printed. Instead, you will see a message in your job history on the ePrintCenter that says “Failed”.
To print a photo or image that is less than 100 dpi, insert the image file into a Word document before e-mailing. Your image will be printed on paper from the main printer paper tray.
Image attachments must be less than 5MB (megabytes). Also, HP ePrint supports a maximum of 10 attachments to a single e-mail. E-mails that exceed these limits will not print.
Find out how megapixels affect the resolution and quality of your digital photos.
If you guys have anymore questions let me know.
Also, remember if you find any of my post helpful or want to say thanks make sure to click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.
I really appreciate it!
Thanks!

TIP FOR SYNC IBOOKS WITH IPHONE (4 AT LEAST but assuming for others too)

having trouble sync your ibooks with ya iphone well here what i did and it seems to have worked
plugged in my iphone 4 into my computer allowed it to sync as normal then go into ibooks tab then de-sync all books msg will appear u will lose all books on iphone do u wish to contintue select yes then await a few mins to allow it to finish
then disconnect device from PC laptop whatever,
shut down itunes relaunch it then re plug your phone in and re-sync with sync ibooks as normal
depending on amount of books u wish to sync they will SLOWLY appear in your iphone
(ive got 208 ibooks it taken it almost 20 mins to do that but my ibooks is yet again filling up with books ive bought (about time))
important dont assume it has sync
KEEP THE PHONE PLUGGED IN EVEN IF ITUNES HAS SAID IT TRANSFERED OVER ..... INSTEAD KEEP CHECKING THE IBOOKS APP FOR CONFIRMATION AS THE PHONE SYNC IS MUCH SLOWER THEN THE INFO .... once all the books u want have synced visually in ibooks app on phone then disconnect
you can also drag the book icon from your itunes lib into the phone but that not 100% garenteed to work as ive found out (20 odd times with ONE book)
i hope that helps now to go off and read that third and final book in the series
sync checked
tea and snacks check
feet up check
" it started as a ..... "

I don't even care at this point. I just need the phone! I'm on a black/crapberry due to selling my 3g. I was really wanting the white, but quite honestly, now I just want a phone, any color...doesn't matter. With all of the drama going on at my BB where I can't even speak the mobile manager as she is "overwhelmed" anything at this point, referring to the phone in my hands is good news for me.
I do hope however that those of you that want the coveted white do get it. After all of this drama, they should make a movie...

Print quality tip for Epson printers with wifi

Just wanted to post a resolution to a print quality problem we were having with an Epson Artisan 730.
I discovered that if we cnnected via wifi the printer driver used offered much lower quality and fewer options then we were used to under Snow Leopard.
When I connected via USB the print dialog offered addtional options and more control over quality and color management.
Seems very strange to me so i thought I would point it out.
Jeff

I just had to go into system preferences for the printer and click on the printer and then click on sharing preferences and type in my computer name. Then turn off the computer and turn it back on again and the printer now WORKS. Amazing.
That solved the same problem for me also. I had already gone into Time Machine and put back the old Epson files that were changed by the update, but that didn't fix the problem. Typing the computer name fixed it.

Tips for signing up with a new host for iWeb

I'm probably going to go with GoDaddy since I have my domain with them. I am expecting a salescall from them to set up the transfer next week-might as well go to the end of June with Mobile Me.
What's the most I need to buy for hosting one simple website that has worked perfectly well with iWeb? I don't want to buy anything extra that I don't need thru them. I see SSL for an additional $69 but I never used it before and doubt I'Il need it now. Don't really know what it is!
When I look at the iDisk storage space on iWeb, it says I have used 73.7MB of space, so it's not a big site, if that helps.
Thanks.

I just did this today with Machighway and am very happy. It was super-easy to publish my site directly using iweb, and it looks great. They provide very clear, user-friendly instructions tailored for iweb users, and I had no error messages or any sort of problems at all with the process. Everything in iweb displays perfectly, and I can't tell the difference between that and Mobileme. Seamless.
The price was very good, less than $40 per year to host my site plus I get a few email addresses. This is less than half the cost of Mobileme. They have 24-7 phone support and they speak perfect English (I called the with a question before signing up).
Contrast that with two other services I tried yesterday. First, Macmate. This is a UK company that does not have phone support after-hours (I tried calling them last night at 10PM, no luck). You have to download a program onto your computer to use it. After you install the program, its asks you for a password. I typed in the password I set up when I signed up for the service, but it didn't work. I emailed tech support and the next day they told me they had reset my password "to the one you used when you signed up". I tried it again, still didn't work. I asked them for a refund, and they immediately issued one, no questions asked.
My domain name was already registered at Namecheap.com, so I decided to give them a try. Huge mistake. I could not connect to their server using FTP in iweb. Nothing but error messages. They have no phone support, and if you try to use live chat you get someone who cannot type a sentence in English. I swear one of their instructions was "Please provide me with the * in case they are". They waited a full five minutes to respond every time I typed something. After two hours of following their instructions doing something called "traceroute" in terminal, I decided to try to get my money back. They are being resistant, so it looks like I am going to have to eat the annual fee which was $47.
Of the three hosting services I tried, Machighway was the cheapest, the most user-friendly, had the best support, clear instructions specifically for iweb users, and, best of all, it worked. Highly recommend.

Tips for using FCE with an ADVC-300?

Some questions if I may:
- Any settings I may want to change?
- And, if I make alterations in Picture Controller 300, how does FCE now to use them? Do I run both at same time?
- If they want a DVD with TV-Quality what settings do I use for export? Just a QT movie in H.264 or anything else? Then, drop into iDVD to burn?
- if someone wants just a "computer-viewing" quality, suggested settings?
- if someone wants just YouTube - can I cheat and drop into iMovie (what export first)?
Working on capturing a VCR tape right now - and quality is more of an issue vs a DV tape.
Thx for your help - total newbie here to both but I'm not afraid to tinker to get the hang of it... would SO appreciate it!
Alexa

You should limit your post to a single question.
Regarding Picture Controller, it sets how the ADVC-300 works. You would not run it at the same time as FCE, nor does FCE 'know' how to use the settings. The settings affect how the ADVC performs its conversion & video cleanup during conversion of your analog video to digital. The basic settings you need for converting VHS tapes are:
-Convert to DV-NTSC (assuming you are in North America)
-Locked audio = on
-IRE = 7.5
Only connect or disconnect the FW cable between the ADVC and your Mac when both the ADVC and your Mac are turned off _and disconnected from all power_.
In FCE, select the *DV NTSC DV Converter* easy setup. Make sure the ADVC is toggled to analog-in and video/audio is being fed from your VCR. In FCE, use *Capture Now* to capture your video. And be aware that you will not hear the audio while capturing; this is normal.

Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on X61/X61s

Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD.
This information can help address blue screen errors specifically
related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other
issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they
apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post
back with your feedback for the community.
Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
update to this version.
To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2.    Click System and Maintenance.
3.    Click System.
4.    Click Device Manager.
5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
Step 2: BIOS version
If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
How to check your BIOS version:
Turn off the system.
Turn on the system.
While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
The
BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
password.
Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
Turn off the system.
System BIOS versions:
ThinkPad X61 or X61s - BIOS version 1.06 (7NET25WW)
Please
remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
Memory driver.

X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorse

Dear Tim,
First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61. I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14). However, the BSOD recurrs.
For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS. Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)). In either case, BSOD recurrs.
I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install. I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM). And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment. In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
Memory: 1.00 G.B.
System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless. I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to. The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here. Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

Whats better for college/grad school- ipad 3 with keyboard or mac book air? 11 inch

whats better for college/grad school- ipad 3 with keyboard or mac book air? 11 inch

Nobody can tell you which one is best for you, it's a personal preference. However, here are a few factors you might want to take into consideration:
1-They're two different devices that serve different purposes. The way you take notes in an iPad is different than the way you would on a MBA. On the iPad, with apps like Evernote and Notability you can take more complete notes than with a MBA. You have the option to have audio notes, write with a Stylus, make diagrams by hand to explain/relate concepts easily. With the external keyboard (for that I'd recommend using the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the InCase Origami Workstation) you could type just as fast as you would on a MBA and format the text just like you would on the MBA. However, for bigger (possibly partner) papers, the MBA would help you. You could start the paper on the iPad without any issues (using Pages or even Evernote) but you'd need a laptop/computer to finalize the project.
2-Portability wise, they're both incredibly light. The iPad is somewhat smaller = lighter but with the keyboard they're about the same. The fact that with the ipad + keyboard combo you can take out the keyboard only when you need it, for me, is an advantage be ause when I don't want to use it, it's not in the way. For others, it's a disadvantage because you have to carry two items instead of one.
3-The iPad needs a computer to be updated, synced, etc. So if you don't have one, definitely get the MBA. The MBA can work as a standalone computer. The iPad needs to be synced to an iTunes library in a computer.
4-MBA let's you access all websites and most file types. If one of your classes requires you to go to the Browser and see a Flash enabled page, the iPad would not be of much help. Same goes for any programs you might need to install. On the MBA you'll most likely be able to do so. On the iPad, chances are there won't be an app for that.
5-If you already have a MBP or any other laptop, I'd go for the iPad. If/when the iPad falls short(because of the limitations mentioned above) you can use the laptop. And in the mean time, use the iPad for everything else. That way you get the best of both worlds.
6-Studying (reading, highlighting, annotating) is easier and more intuitive on the iPad. The iPad is great for reading, combine that with the fact that you can leave comments/notes just like you would on a physical piece of paper, and you've got the best way to learn IMO.
