Using ALT for eyedropper on MAC

Using Flash in Windows I can use the ALT key to temporarily switch to the Eyedropper tool when I am using the Brush or the Paint Bucket tools. How can I do this using Flash on a Mac?

Using iWeb for non dot-mac sites

Hi all,
I own a number of domains that I'd like to use iWeb on. Am I able to utilize iWeb for a non .mac domain, or do I need to use something like Dreamweaver?
Many thanks.
-Hugh

No, in fact I have a sneaky suspicion that not using dot-mac sites will eliminate a lot of problems other people have. You will also lose some of the effects like the nicer slideshow etc.
I have never used dot-mac and never encountered any of the uploading/publishing problems that are so often mentioned on this forum.
Here is what you do:
After editing your website you choose :Publish to a folder.
This lets you choose a location on your hardrive into which all the necessary files will be compiled/rendered. In this folder you will find an htlm file plus a folder with the necessary files for easch of your pages.. This publishing is done lightning fasy pecause it is done locallly and not trhough your internetconnection like when you published to dot-mac. Also post-editing is easy and hassle free.
For editing and uploading my website I use "Transmit" but there are lots of other applications like "Fetch"
What to upload?
Well I believe the jury is still out on this.
I just upload the contents of the published folder and that works for me. Other publish the whole folder plus the dummy "Index file" that is generated outside that folder. You will heve to find out for your self.
If any changes or editing has to be done afterwards, I republish and then just upload the altered files.
There is one more thing I do, and I believe others don't. I keep my domain file in the same folder where I keep the Published folder.
E.g. there is a festival website, so I have a folder "Festival" in which I keep the domains file, and the published "Festival website" folder.
This way it is easy to keep various different websites.
When you want to edit one of them, go to that folder and double click the domains file, this will start iWeb with the right website for you to edit.
Really very easy.

Using tv for monitor with Mac mini

Using my 46 inche sharp as my screen for Mac mini. But sitting on couch it is hard to see things on the screen. Is there a setting to change the size view?

Change to a different progressive (p) resolution on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. The higher the (p) value the smaller the text. Use the zoom functions on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access if you want to maintain the resolution and temporarily zoom on items to make them readable.

Using wxWidgets for Acrobat on MAC

Hi All,
I have created Non-unicode static-release libray for wxWidgets 2.8.12 (MAC), I were able to build the acrobat plugin and load it successfully in Acrobat X.
When I try to open my dialog it always crashes.
Below is the crash log.

I cheked wxSample projects and these works fine, So I assuemed the builted library has no issue. Is there any thing I need to update in XCODE setting or in Acrobat ?
Please help me out...
Regards,
Praveen

Thanks for reply...
I checked with wxWidgets sample. The plugin is getting built without error but when I load it in Acrobat X, The respective menus are not getting added, I dont know why? I tried with other samples which doens't uses wxWidgets these loads fine.
Just to provide more information, When I build my pluign the wxWidgets lib and tried to open wx dialog from my menus it always crash at wxStockGDI::GetFont (but wxWidgets sample just work fine) I updated defination for GetFont in "src/mac/carbon/settings.cpp" as below
wxFont wxSystemSettingsNative::GetFont(wxSystemFont index) {
    return wxFont(12, wxFONTFAMILY_DEFAULT, wxFONTSTYLE_NORMAL,
wxFONTWEIGHT_NORMAL); }
After modifying and rebuilding wxWidget library I was able to see wxMessageBox alert, but after that it crashes when I create panel object, as I reported in my earlier post.
Please let me know, Do I need to start from somewhere else?

Alt for Eyedropper?

Is there anyway I can make it so that when I am using the Brush tool, I can hold down the Alt key and the cursor will temporarily change to the Eyedropper tool (Like how I can hold down the Ctrl key and the cursor temporarily changes to the Selection tool)?
-Thanks in advance.

yes you can absolutely do that right now. All you need to do is to go to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts... and then go to the "Toolbar Section" up at the top.
Here you can see I selected the Tools panel and then went down to the Dropper tool. You click the + icon and it will allow you to make a new keyboard shortcut. then you click in the Press Key section and hit the key combo you want on your keyboard. That's pretty much it!
Oh and you also have to create your own set by duping the stock Adobe set.
I hope this helps!

Azure SDK for Java on Mac/Linux

I need to develop a part (communication with Service Bus) of a solution in Java (normally I use C# for development) on Mac/Linux. Can I just use the microsoft-windowsazure-api-0.4.6.jar file of the Azure SDK for Mac/Linux in my project, because I don't
use Maven?
Thanks.
Guy

When trying out some code using the Windows Azure SDK for Java (on a Mac) obviously just adding the jar to my project and adding it to my build path isn't just enough. I get error messages such as:

When clicking e.g. on Configuration.java:48 I get: Source not found.
The JAR file microsoft-windowsazure-api-0.4.6.jar has no source attachment.
What am I missing. Thanks for your help.

Use same external drive for itunes in mac and windows?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Air that has bootcamp and I use 99% of my time under Windows 7.
All of my music and movies are on an external hard drive and I have a problem using
it for iTunes under Windows and the Mac at the same time.
Is it possible to have both versions point to the same external drive?
I tried almost everything but it fails as the file paths are stored once and for all in
the iTunes library file.
When booting under OS/X and opening iTunes, it loads the .itl file and shows all music
but of course it doesn't see anything since the path under OS/X has nothing to do with
the one under Windows.
My iTunes lib was created under Windows and all files are stored in a variation of:
J:\Private\My Music\iTunes[Rock | Classical | Soundtracks]
Under OS/X of course the path is totally different:
/Volumes/DRIVE_J/Private/My Music/iTunes/[Rock | Classical | Soundtracks]
Now if I reimport everything in iTunes for OS/X it will change all the paths and then
Windows will not be able to fetch the files.
Isn't there a way to have relative paths so both the OS/X and Windows versions
of iTunes work flawlessly without caring at all about which OS is running?
This is driving me nuts.
I'm not talking about Sharing an iTunes library over a network. I want to share the
same physical folder between Windows and OS/X
Thanks for any help.

Anyone?

I'm using Word for Mac. Though there are various instructions on the Internet for modifying the templates, none make sense to me. They instruct to do something I can't follow. I change a template but can't save it to the template folder.

What the ****.
OK, I try to change a template using Word for Mac version 14.3.4 2011 edition.
I make a change to the template but am unable to save the darned thing to the template folder; it asks for a file name like it's a new document. I want to change the blasted template but if I can't save it as a modified template, I've accomplished nothing.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Hi I have a year old Macbook pro. I was using a miniport to connect it to the TV via HDM cable. It was working fine but I have used it for a couple of months kept it in a drawer and now it doesnt work. When connected to the TV the screen on the mac goes blue as though there is some signal then back to original screen but the TV doesnt show what's on the laptop. Please any suggestions, thanks??

Hello nothingissecret
Check out the article below for troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. One would be to try a different cable or adapter to test with the television.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
the TV: LG Smart tv

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?
