I am able to log in but once within a site or program a twirly , spinning  colored circle takes over . It does not completely lock MAC but does not allow me to continue & mAkes it almost impossible to back out of the site or program.

  • When using an Apple TV, any new device that logs on immediately takes over the display.  Is there any way to prevent this and maintain the control from a designated device?

    I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears.  Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?

    Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

  • Bex Analyzer Workbook Refresh - How to prevent take over of desktop

    Hi there,
    I believe the answer to this queston will be use bex broadcaster but I will try and see if someone has any other experience.
    One of our upper mgmt directors is frustrated because when he refreshes the bex analyzer workbooks, the refresh takes over his desktop.
    He will kick off the refresh and then wants to go to another task - Like checking something on AS400 screen - or going to check his email - or working in word.
    The refresh of the workbook is long running and has several queries to refresh so it monopolizes his desktop.
    He will go to the other screens but bex refresh keeps popping up and taking over.
    I do not know any other way to have it run in the background unless bex broadcaster is used.  Unfortunately, we are in the process of getting that upgraded and it is not available at this time.
    Does anyone have any experience with having the excel refresh run in the background?
    Thank you,
    Lynda

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

  • Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix?

    Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix? FIle> get info>won't let me choose >Open this file with CS6. Forces me to use CC 2014 Illustrator which I don't want because I am doing client work in CS6 that I own and I do not have time to try out the CC version.
    I also do not like the black interface in illustrator as I cannot even see the layer icon at the bottom. I won't want to buy it if this is all that's offered.

    You can change the UI brightness in the prefs. Otherwise I'm not clear what your issue is. Handling file associations are operating system basics and you can look them up on a simple web search and from drag&drop onto the launchpad/ dock icon for CS6 to opening the files directly from within AI there sure are enough alternatives, don't you think?

  • Colored circles appearing into view using an expression instead of keyframes?

    Hello and thank you for your time,
    I'll explain this as simply as I can,
    I have a comp where a satelite is orbiting the Earth (the Earth is my comp space). The Earth is also in rotating but much slower. The satelite is one comp, and the Earth rotating is another comp. The orbiting satelite is looped, the Earth comp is rotating is looped - all is good there.
    Everytime the satelite makes a complete orbit around the Earth, at a specfic point on the comp space of my choosing, I would like to add a colored circle. So it would look like that circle appears into view.
    So the colored cirlce would appear into view, onto the comp (Earth) and follow the slow and gradual rotation of the Earth as it moves from left to right. The satelite would continue to orbit fast.
    However I would like to perform this action of "add coloured circle onto Earth" perhaps 100's of times and at specific points.
    The most important challenge here is : how can I perform this action using expressions so that I do not have to keyframe hundreds of colored circles appearing into view one at a time?
    The second important thing is : how can I position these colored circles in a specfic pattern laid out over the Earth and not in a random fashion?
    Thanks again!
    D

    Simply add the circles in the 2D texture or a separate comp synced to your Earth and make it a spehjre by using yet one more instance of CC Sphere. The timing could certainly be worked out using expressions based on the longitude/ latitude coordinates vs. angle, but that's gonna be more than copy&pasting 3 lines of code on a forum. If you can#t do it, hire someone or simply bite the bullet and hand-animate.

  • Print to Video takes over monitor

    I recently started to back up all my videos on to DV tapes. When I print to tape my monitor mirrors the playback. My DV deck has a monitor connected so i can see playback there and don't want my Mac taken over by the export. I found a setting in the "Audio/Video Settings" under the Final Cut Pro tab that allows me to turn off mirroring, but the screen still goes black. I've also hooked up a second monitor in hopes that the mirroring output would take over that screen, but no. So if anyone could direct me to some settings that I could switch this, your awsome. I'm using Final Cut Pro 6.0.1

    How do I make the print to video faster with these options checked?
    OK...I am biting my tongue
    If I have to insert the color bars and slate into the timeline, how do I get the conventional color bars footage with hight pitch sound without recapturing one of the dubs?
    Bithing myth thongue.
    In your case printing to video doesn't take longer with the slate checked?
    It is beginning to bleed....
    How do you drag your sequence from the browser to the print to video video?
    Oww....
    Pat is talking about the EDIT TO TAPE window. Print to video doesn't have this option. And if you are trying to deliver a tape for broadcast, and you are NOT using edit to tape and are using Print to Video instead...how on earth are you getting proper timecode on this tape? Because bars and tone typically start at 58:30:00...go for a minute...then black for a few seconds...then a slate with program info...then more plack (perhaps a countdown)...then show starts at 1:00:00:00 on the nose. What are you doing?
    And seriously...adding bars and tone means outputting takes longer? Uhhh, YEAH. If you add 60 seconds of footage to your timeline, the duration increases by 60 seconds. That is typically how things work. Adding bars, tone, black and a slate should add about 2 minutes to your cut. because you need 30 seconds of black BEFORE the bars and tone too...typically. Export faster? No...can't output faster than real time.
    How do you get BARS & TONE without recapturing? In the Viewer, below where you look at your footage, there is a drop down menu with the letter "A." Click on that and you will see BARS AND TONE for a variety of footage formats.

  • Odd moving colorful circle when I open applications

    Many times when I click to open Internet Exlorerer, other apps, or close them, an annoying small rainbow-colored turning circle appears and does not go away! I cannot click on anything at all - it does not turn into an arrow at the top so that I can restart or shut down. All I can do is shut down the computer manually. It happens all the time!
    Can someone please help me???
    Thank you!

    macquiz:
    The odd moving colorful circle is "lovingly" referred to as the beachball. Take a look at Dr. Smoke's FAQ on The Spinning Beach Ball of Death. He tells you why it happens and what you can do to control it.
    Good luck.

  • Navigating within an app...

    How do I 'go back' a screen within an app?
    For example, I downloaded 'GoodReader' for pdfs. I've loaded some into it, where they sit nicely in the list of PDF's. I touch one to check if it's the version I want, but then, I just want to go back to the list. But there's no 'backward arrow'. Only option seems to be to click the Home button, which only takes me back to the apps icons.
    I know this is simple. But I checked the iPad 'Guide' and nothing speaks to this.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Well, I'm back again. Now I have the iPad guide open (which was a pdf from GoodReader), and all that happens if I tap it is it gets bigger. The instructions for using the 'Multitasking' bar don't seem to work for me. If I click Home to go back to the GoodReads Icon and touch it, hoping to in that way return to the GR Doc list, all it does is return me back to the iPad guide.
    Earlier I was able to tap twice and bring back an arrow key up top I could tap to get back to the list of docs. But it's not working now.  ?
    I don't understand why the iPad guide doesn't give you touch/tap instructions for navigating within apps--only the basics of how to get Home, bigger, smaller, etc. This is most frustrating.
    Help, anyone?

  • Link takes over entire browser window

    I'm using the inline-navigator method on a portlet (.NET 5.0.3) and it works fine for the most part. For some reason though one of the links takes over the entire window when you click on it. What's weird is that this link is the exact same link used elsewhere, but this behavior only occurs when the link is wrapping an image. I added a JS alert to check if the JS script was even catching the DIV event, and it is. All links are gatewayed as well. Anyone experience this?

    Hi Gaurav,
    Thnx for your response. If I set the destination url property for the cancel button, which is in the center frame of the OA 3 - frame JSP page (OA tree bean page), without setting the target frame for it then response comes to the center frame only. The content of the left and top frame remain unchanged. But, my requirement is that the response should take control of entire browser window. So, somewhow either declaratively or programmatically I have to set the button bean property such that the browser knows the response for the particular form submission is meant for the entire window. But, I am not able to achieve it. Please help.

  • Can I merge several different Verizon plans (different family members each have own plans) into one plan (i.e. can I take over all their lines), if all lines on all plans are on Edge?

    I was originally told by Verizon that if I joined, I can eventually take over the lines of various family members.  Now that I've joined, and my family members all upgraded their phones and are on Edge, Verizon is telling us that we can't merge into one plan (because Edge lines can't be transferred to another account).
    Is this true, and, if so, what is my recourse since I was lied to.

    Well, yes and no (as far as being lied to).  I asked on several occasions (I have the chat transcripts to prove it) if there would be any issue if the lines were all already on Edge, and was told each time that under no circumstances would there be any issue.  The latest being today (I know it's after the fact, but I wanted proof that this is what the chat people are saying).  I asked "I have currently have an account with 3 phones on Edge.  My brother and his wife, and my parents, also have plans all on Edge.  I would like to 'take over' their lines.  I want to make sure there is no issue with the Edge plan and that I can simply 'take over' their lines with no problems."  I was told "Yes. That would be correct."  Again, this is what I was told in the past as well (my original post didn't make clear the timing of the chats and upgrades to Edge..).  Every time I chatted I mentioned that the accounts were going to be on Edge or (later on) were already on Edge.  Even before my family members upgraded to Edge, not one single chat or phone representative (and my brother asked the same thing in a store) mentioned NOT to upgrade to Edge because it couldn't be transferred.  Everyone just said yep, no problem.  The ONLY reason I even joined Verizon (I was on Straight Talk) was because of the More Everything and Edge plans (we wanted a family plan with 6 people and over 10GB so we'd each save $25/line).  Otherwise I never would have joined Verizon and my family wouldn't have upgraded either.

  • Open Process Orders take-over when going-live

    Hello PP People
    Does anyone have any experience/recommendation about the transition/take-over of open process orders from a legacy system to SAP when going live ?
    These process orders are started in the legacy system and should arrive in a partially confirmed (hours/consumptions) status in the SAP system at go-live. How is this generally tackled from a CO point of view ?
    Any hints on this could be helpfull
    Thanks and best regards

    Hi,
    The method adopted depends on the business requirements. There are quite many options which can be adopted. So first thing i would say is get a clear business requirement what business expects from this migration.
    Some of the options could be
    1. Close all orders in the legacy system & create new orders in the SAP system & post back the confirmations, post goods movement as per the legacy system.
    2. Create a material per order carrying the cost (WIP value) as per the legacy system, assign this component in the component list & post this mateiral to the order, thereby the WIP vlaue will be acrrued to the order.
    3. Ask your FI-CO personnel to post the WIP value to the order from FI side.
    There could be many more approaches, the choice depends purely on business needs. Hope the above gave you some guideline.
    Regards,
    Vivek

  • When I select a netflix movie on my iPad and push it to my apple TV, why doesn't the Apple TV take over the streaming, so that I can then use my iPad for other things?

    From what I can tell, when I select the movie and hit the airplay button to move it to the apple TV, my iPad is still doing all the work of streaming the movie.  Why can't the apple TV take over the heavy work at this point?  I'd like to be able to use my iPad as more of a remote with an awesome interface for the apple TV.  The netflix app on iPad is great, and the easiest way to browse movies, and pushing them to the apple TV is fantastic, but once the movie starts, I want to use my iPad for other things!!!  Can this be put on the "to do" list for devs?

    Have you tried the Remote app on iPhone/iPad to control AppleTV, do searches etc?  Should be easier than the remote alone and this does not involve Airplay.
    Please note, only users read/comment here  - your idea is quite sensible in my view (maybe have a 'Continue viewing on AppleTV' option or something.  I doubt this would be high on Apple's roadmap but send them feedback here:

    I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini.  My husband will take over the iPad2.  How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?

    Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:

    Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone.
