TS1258 Is there a way to re-set the monitor with an external keyboard, since my internal keyboard is not working?

My internal keyboard and mouse have stopped working, so I have attached an external keyboard and mouse. But now I need to re-set the monitor. Can I do it with an external keyboard?
I have the dark bands at the bottom of the internal display.

You cant switch off the power to the monitor but you can send it to sleep.
1 - Apple > System preferences > energy saver: set the monitor to sleep at the shortest duration
2 - While the second display is connected and powered on, System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement: deselect the Mirror Displays option
While the presentation plays on the secondary display, the Mac display will go to sleep as there is nothing on the screen during play, entering display sleep within seconds.

Is there a way to permanently set the mailbox order?

Is there a way to permanently set the sequence in which mailboxes are displayed in the left-most panel of Mail? I can drag and drop the mailboxes into the order I want, and they seem to stick around - at least until I update any of the accounts. The moment I update an accounts prefernces in Preferences, Accounts, the display order is set to the same order that appears on the preferences display.
I have a fairly large number of email accounts, and often have to tweak settings, so it's a bit of a pain to have to reset the order every time I make a change.
This is occurring on both my MBP and my iMac.

Same question.
I recently left Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Previously, in the side bar of Mail, (the one you make visible using "Show" in a previous post here), I was able to drag and drop any of the Reception mailboxes to the place I wanted to select, to put them in the order I wished, and this order remained until I decide to change it.
This seems not possible any more, or... just for the current session. If I close Mail and reopen, Reception boxes are re-ordered in alphabetic way.
Any way to make my choice permanent as before ???
To make it more clear, ordering my way is possible by drag and dropping for private mailboxes, but not for reception mailboxes associated to different mail accounts, the order is lost once Mail is closed.

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone?

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone? Every evening I have to remember to adjust the volume to 3 bars, versus full volume during the day.

I cannot believe this problem hasn't been rectified yet!
If I use the pre installed ringtone as an alarm and set it low so I don't jump out of my skin, then my call volume is too low the next day, so have to change it.
If I use a song as an alarm, I have the same problem, but its when I watch a video. I set it quiet, then jump out of my skin the next morning if I've left it tuned up after watching YouTube. Also works the other way if I've watched a video with the sound down, and forget to turn it back up, then I don't hear my alarm, which makes me late!
It could also do with an ascending volume option, so it starts nice and quiet to wake you gradually. My old phones from pre iPhone days had these features and they worked great.
Surely this isn't that much of an issue to sort out. Yet I've seen posts back as far as 2006 complaining about it.
Come on apple pull your finger out!

I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.

I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.
The plugin shows on the list as enabled and functioning, yet the tool does not show on the toolbar. It would appear that I need to restore the previous version of Firefox and wait until a newer release of the plugin is available before upgrading the browser.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

Some of the pictures I am trying to use don't quite fit into the pre-set frames... Is there a way to move just the photo with-in the frame so to use the best part of the picture?

Some of the pictures I am trying to use in Idvd don't quite fit into the specified frame... Is there a way to just move the picture itself within the frame to use the best part of the pic... For example I'm trying to use a picture of my son..but his head gets cut off when I drag the picture into the place holder....

When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.

Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

@stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
What you can do against that?
1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.

Is there a way to re-set the default fade-in/out setting for all slides?

Hi all, I don't know why all objects on all the slides of my captivate project are set as transition-> fade in/fade out. The result is that every single slide fades out after 3 seconds, even before the learners can finish reading.
The only solution I know is to change each single object from transition->fade in/fade out to No Transitions. However, it takes thousands of clicks.
Does anyone know that there is a one-step solution to get rid of this default fade in/fade out settings?
Or was there something that I did wrong which caused this default fade in/fade out?
Thank you very much.

Hi all, not only are my objects set to no transition, I set the object defaults to rest of slide rather than specific time (located in the same window above. That way slide duration does not matter (unless you are doing autoplay and not using navigation.) This way when my audio lengthens the timeline all my objects are there for the full duration
Also, another tip, once you have set your objects styles and preferences the way you like them you can export both, and import them into any new project that you wish to use them in rather than reset all the time.

CP5: Is there a way I can set the resolution size before I start recording?

When I launch Adobe Captivate 5, I click on "Create New.. Software Simulation", but I can't find a way of setting the screen size / resolution before I start recording, like there is when you click "Create New... Blank Project".
I prefer to do a new Software Simulation instead of a Blank Project because I can record in Demo, Training and Assement modes all at once, and I don't get this option when I start a project.
Can someone help me?
Many thanks!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Choose 'Custom size' after having selected the application to record, and you will be able to choose a resolution. If you choose Application or Application region the current resolution, size of that application or that region will be kept. But with custom size you can have a resolution and the application snapping to that resolution.

Is there any way I can set the jre version before I open the browser

I want to set the jre version of the browser before I open the window. Can I have any batch script that does this? Is this possible does any body already did this?

Have you tried the applet tag to specify the version runtime your
app will use? Here's a link to an old documentation, but the
principle should still apply, if it's what you're looking for:

Is there any way to redownload iOS 5 my iPod touch 4 th generation white 32 gig is not working right?

My iPod is not working right. It's slow and lags and just doesn't work and always exits apps. I was if there was any way to redownload ios5 because it does the same things after I've reset about 4 times. Please help! It's even lagging why I am typing this. The thing that I checked below are all of the things that are not working on my iPod.

You cannot reinstall iOS without doing a restore. But you might first try a software update. If you have iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1, you can update to iOS 5.1 by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

Is there a way to comunicate files on itunes with a external harddrive?

I have a a large music library. I use itunes. All the files sit on my external drive. Is there a way (when I delete files on itunes) to have the files automatically deleted on the external drive? Also, I have heard about the duplicate file option, but is there an easier way to delete duplicated files?

richrock
When you go to delete a file in the iTunes Library, apple-delete will give you the option to keep or delete the file. Note this only applies in the Library not in a playlist.
As to the duplicates: two options:

Is there a way to sync only the calendar with the new control panel?

I did the iCloud control panel update on my work machines this morning and it looks like it will only sync the calendar with outlook if you let it sync your contacts and tasks as well. The main reason I use iCloud is to sync my work meetings/events between my work PC and my phone. It liked the way it worked before, but now the user has less control over what it syncs. Is there a way to sync the calendar only?
Also, it's made outlook quit unexpectedly on both machines, but I assume they'll have bug fixes eventually. I'm running one machine with Office 2007 and one with 2010.

The iCloud Control Panel 2.0, just release with iOS 6, forces users to upload Outlook contacts to iCloud in order to sync calendar and reminders with iPhone. This is unacceptable to me. Because of this and bugs in the Outlook/iCloud plugin, I have discontinued use of iCloud and will sync my iPhone with Outlook using itunes. I will have to forego using Outlook task syncing with iPhone reminders because iTunes doesn't sync them, which is unfortunate.

Is there any way to re-install the original iOS 8 English keyboard?

I stupidly deleted the original iOS 8 keyboard on my iPhone 5 when I was trying to get a third party keyboard to work. I restored the phone to the factory default and then restored my most recent backup, hoping the keyboard would not be deleted during the process, but it was. Is there any way to download or re-install the original keyboard?

Set up Element 10 as external editor in Lightroom 3, it does not work. What's wrong?

I am using Lightroom 3. Just bought the Element 10 and set it up in Lightroom as external editor. It does not work at all. What's wrong?

Make sure you are linking to the application and not a shortcut. If using Mac OSX you may need to reveal hidden folders.
