  • Touch typing/ergonomics: which fingers for the apple (command) key?

    I've been using Apples since I started using computers in the early nineties, but I only recently learned to touch type.
    On the PCs I have in the lab I use my little finger for the control key.
    Which fingers work best for the apple/command keys?
    I've looked on the web to no avail.

    Hi!
    I use my middle finger for the apple control key. I usually have my fingers on the touchpad about the time I want to use the apple key. I am a strange touch typer, however.
    Really, it is all based on what YOU are comfortable with. If you find it ackward, if 1,000,000 people say its right, its still wrong. Experiment.
    Touch typing is one of those beautiful, adjustable skills.
    Once you find one that is comfortable, just make certain that you keep doing the same thing, or you won't learn the keys perfectly.
    Good luck!

  • I need to use the "apple key" which is, I presume the command key, but I do not have an apple keyboard; is there a key on a logitech keyboard which will serve the purpose?

    I need to use the "Apple key" which I presume is the command key; my computer does not have an apple keyboard; is there a key on a logitech keyboard which will serve the same purpose?

    The "Windows flag" key on PC keyaboard in Commans, "Alt" is option.
    Go to Logitech website to see if they have Mac compatibility software (Logictech Control Center) to make mappings a bit more complex).

  • Mac Mini won't go to sleep using the "Apple" - Sleep command

    I bought a new Mac Mini at the beginning of January. In the past few weeks we've had occasional trouble putting the computer to sleep using the "sleep" command from the Apple pull-down menu. Sometimes it takes several tries. Last night I finally selected shut down, then canceled the shut down, tried sleep again and it took. The computer seems to have no trouble going to sleep on its own when it's been idle for set time to sleep. And it has no trouble staying asleep until properly woken up. We have a USB 2.0 hub with a printer and a multi-function machine connected, as well as another printer.

    My newer Mini takes about 30 seconds to go to sleep. Could it be yours just needs more time?
    When mine was brand new, sleep kicked in almost immediately. I have no idea why this has changed.

    Hi Moe,
    Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
    Or...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • HT203658 How to sign in using the Apple ID that I initially used to set up the computer?

    How to sign in using the Apple ID that I initially used to set up the computer? I cant update my iPhoto and download pictures from Iphone :((
    I updated ios on my MacBook Air to Yosemite, since then I had to update also iPhoto, as it was not compatible with Yosemite. When trying to update it I received this alert "These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID. These have already been assigned to another Apple ID." And the solution wud be to sign in using my initial Apple ID, but Im not aware of having one or changing it. I have many Mac devices so I at one point sing in to my Air with another ID not even noticing it and have it since the moment I found out the alert. Can anyone help me with this, please? And also, where are my pictures stored in my Air? Is there some folder, cuz Im used to Windows and Mac is totally new and not really clear to me for now. I need to download pictures from my iPhone and iPhoto seems to be the only way??
    thanks

    How to sign in using the Apple ID that I initially used to set up the computer? I cant update my iPhoto and download pictures from Iphone :((
    Try to remember any AppleID you ever may have used.
    In the AppStore Application go to the "Store" menu.
    It will show you the AppleiD You are currently using (in the last menu entry "View my account ....".
    Use the "Sign out" command and sign in with any AppleID you ever used, ten check the "Purchases" tab of the App Store, if that will show the bundled apps.
    And also, where are my pictures stored in my Air?
    If you have used iPhoto to download your pictures, the photos will be stored in the iPhoto Library, a package, that is stored in the folder "Pictures" in your Home folder.
    Terence Devlin has written some very useful user tips, that describe the iPhoto Library:  See the links below:

  • I used to be able to skip a cell to the right by using the toggle arrow keys

    I placing a number or text in a cell i used to be able to skip the cell to the right by using the toggle arrow keys.  I can't now?  Using the RETURN key only goes down a cell.  I want to go right?  Why?

    Hi Mark,
    In Numbers 3, an arrow key moves the cursor one cell up, down, left or right.
    Tab moves one cell right. Shift tab moves one cell left.
    The command key and an arrow key will take the cursor to top, bottom, left or right of a table.
    via the arrow keys (next to the letterM and question mark?).
    I am puzzled by this. Between the letter M and ? I have < above comma (,) and > above full stop (.)
    Shift command < zooms out and shift command > zooms in.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How can I copy a webpage that will not let me highlight it, i.e. use the control c key strokes?

    How can I take a picture of a webpage that will not let me use the control C copy command? In other words, on this particular website, I try to highlight a passage that I want to save and put in a document, but the highlighting will not work. I asked them about that, and they simply said they did not have that facility, but I think the issue is protecting their copyrighted material. I know there is some way to take a picture of the page, and then I can use my picture editing software to crop it and enlarge it.

    Are you trying to take a "snapshot" in a PDF?
    If the part of the page or PDF you want to capture is fully visible, you can use the Windows print screen function to capture it. Either use the Print Screen key to capture the entire monitor display, or Alt+Print Screen to capture the active window.
    If you need to do this often, or if you want to save the snapshot straight to disk, or if you need more than fits in a single Windows screen shot, an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/fireshot/ Fireshot] can be handy.

  • Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

    Post Author: markeyjd2
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Greetings forum members,
    My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
    In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records.  When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
    What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record.  The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
    Is this possible?

    Hi,
    you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
    Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
    First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
      oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
    Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

  • Menu Creation and Using the SELECT soft key

    Hi,
    I am trying to design a menu similar to the thumbnail menus available in most phone these days.what i want is a set of icons placed in a tabular format ie rows and colums. the joystick control can be used to navigate thru the icons and using the select soft key ie the middle button of the soft keys, the next set of forms can be displayed.
    so far, i have created a form, used a few image item and used the Item's layout directive to arrange the imageItem as i want on the display. I can get the joystick to navigate between the imageItems however the select button doesnt fire any event.
    I have added a command to each of the items and set an ItemCommandListener.
    That approach seems to be working fine but it defeats my purpose. the reason being i had problems with the mapping of the command keys. For each display i had an option of going to the main menu and to the next screen. On the emulator it maps perfectly with the left key having the main menu and the right key having the "next form" button. But while implementing on the phone, the left key has the main menu but the right key shows "more options", when u click more options you get the "next form" button. This is happening in every form on display and makes it more tideous to use.
    Thats why i was hoping to get the select button working if possible. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try searching J2mepolish.org plenty of work is done
    with Regards

  • LR V1.2 Having problems using the find Command

    Have just recently started using lightroom and so far managing most applications imported a series of photos and after import added keywords to them using the find function I cannot get images to appear. What seems to happen is that in the keyword tag and the folders any of the headings that contain the keyword become active the remainder show a zero no in number of images held in that folder but no images on screen
    can anyone assist me
    Peter

    thanks for the reply
    have switched of global filters, made sure that using the Find command have set keywords in "text box" and in the "rule box "contains". When I then enter a key word as soon as a type the first two or three letters
    a message appears on the screen no "No photos in the selected keyword Tag" Also when you look at the folders which have a series of numbers indicating the photos in the directory the first number in each set turns to 0 with the exception of the folder and sub folder were the images are
    So have not managed to make any progress

  • How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?  When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? 
    When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection.  All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again.  The big arrowhead just get's in the way.  The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
    I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down.  If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
    I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
    Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences?  I'd give much thanks, Adobe.
