Virtual PC 7.0 F key & switching problems

Hello my fellow mac-geeks!
Problem: I'm trying to run the following software from my mac, but using Virtual PC (because it's PC based): PokerStars.
Way before I get to the point of running software I've encountered a big problem. In setting up the Virtual PC to begin with, one is required to accept the User License agreement, but clicking f8. However, my f8 functions (withing Virtual PC) as it would for the mac, ie- moves programs to center, but has no effect on the Virtual PC program, and I can't therefore accept the User Agreement.
Also regarding Virtual PC- how do I move from the PC to the mac? I don't seem to be able to pull that off. Once on the Virtual PC, the cursor stays there and wont move back to the Mac!
Thanks in advance,
Zen!

Try making an ISO image of your OS CD and pointing VPC at that instead - I had some problems with VPC under Leopard as it was never updated to be properly compatible, I eventually got Windows XP installed using an ISO image of it though.

Two problems: hiding key-switch notes and messages to effect-plugins

Hello,
first please apologize my bad (school-) English, which I haven‘t much practiced sind I left school more than 30 yeras ago.
I have got two problems, and I should be grateful, if somebody could give me a hint.
1. I am using sample libraries, which I load in a sampler (Kontakt 2 of Native Instruments) in the instrument slot of Logic. These libraries work with key switches to choose between various articulations of an instrument. Unfortunately these key switching notes appear in the outprints (although the note, good so, does not sound – and isn‘t intended to sound).
Do you know a possibility to set a key switch and let the note hide in the outprint?
(I have also sent a fearture request to apple: creating an additional note line to an instrument, reserved for key switching commands.)
2. I am using Guitar Rig 2 as an effect-plugin in Logic. Guitar Rig is (regarding my puspose) organised in banks which contain various presets (settings of amplifiers, boxes, micros, effects and so on).
Is there in Logic a possibilities to send to effect-plugins commands which choose firstly a bank and secondly a preset in a bank of an effect-plugin in effect-slot?
Thank you for your answer in advance.
Yours sincerely Norbert
iMac Intel, 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

One method:
Let's say you have a flute sound from Kontakt 2...
1. Create a duplicate track for the Kontakt flute instrument in the Arrange window, just below the original track
2. Open your flute region in score or matrix, select the keyswitch notes and CUT them. Then exit the editor
3. Click on the duplicate track in the Arrange window and then use "paste at original position", (not regular CMD-V paste). Now your keyswitch notes are placed on the duplicate track in the exact location they were originally recorded at.
(Note: if this doesn't seem to paste anything (sometimes it happens), hit Undo. Then use the pencil tool to draw a blank region on your duplicate track. With that new region selected, use "paste at original position again" and it will work.)
4. With the new region selected, choose Options > Extended Parameters... a floating window will appear. Look for "Score:" at the bottom of the window. Click to the right of "Score:" so that it now says "Score: Off" for that region. This function works per region. Your keyswitches will still play but they won't be shown in the score. You can even hide this track if you want.
5. Repeat this process for all of your tracks with keyswitch notes in them.

Problems with ViaVoice under Leopard, especially key mapping problems

ViaVoice's behavior has changed considerably under Leopard. First I will discuss the key mapping problem, since I'm eagerly looking for an answer to this problem. At the end of this post, I will voice some of the other problems I've experienced for those who may be interested. The key mapping problem may be specific to the fact that I use a foreign keyboard with a US version of ViaVoice.
INTRO:
I have used ViaVoice on my Mac for years, more or less without problems (ViaVoice's bugginess is notorious).
Those who know ViaVoice will know that one has two general options for dictation. One can dictate into ViaVoice's so-called SpeakPad, which allows special formatting, editing and dictation error correction within the dictated text, or one can dictate into "external" software such as Microsoft Word, in which case ViaVoice just sends a string of characters to that software. SpeakPad appears to make strong use of the operating system's built-in functionality for character formatting, document formatting, etc.
*MY PROBLEM*
I have a German keyboard on my PowerBook, yet dictate in US English. When I dictated into SpeakPad under Tiger, all characters appeared correctly. However, when I dictated into Microsoft Word using Tiger, I had to switch the keyboard mapping from German to US to get all characters (that means including the characters that are located at different positions on a German keyboard than they are on a US keyboard such as y, z, apostrophes and parentheses) to appear correctly.
Under Leopard, things have changed. Now it doesn't matter whether I dictate into SpeakPad or Word; the results are the same and many characters do not appear correctly.
If set to a German keyboard, y and z appear as expected. To name a few irregularities:
"(" appears as ")"
")" appears as "="
apostrophes appear as "#" and
";" appears as ","
If set to a US keyboard, y and z are interchanged. "(" and ")" appear as expected. Apostrophes appear as "\" and ";" appears as ","
By comparison, if typed (as opposed to dictated, as in the examples above) "correctly" (i.e. based on the letters printed on the keyboard) on a German keyboard set to imitate a US keyboard:
y and z are interchanged
apostrophes appear as "|"
"(" appears as "*"
")" appears as "(" and
";" appears as the symbol for "less than"
Since I don't have a US keyboard, I can't say how it would behave if set to imitate a German keyboard, i.e. if there's a correlation to the results I get when I dictate.
Since I was previously able to dictate correctly into SpeakPad by setting the keyboard to "German" and into Word by setting the keyboard to "US," I presume that this is a problem in Leopard, not ViaVoice.
*OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VIAVOICE UNDER LEOPARD*
In addition to the aforementioned key mapping problems (that may be specific to those of us with foreign keyboards), ViaVoice appears to have lost considerable functionality in Leopard. I cannot access SpeakPad's Preferences and the correction window. Moreover, the traffic-light like window buttons have disappeared from the VoiceCenter (although they work if you click where they should be). SetupAssistent appears to function.
I've written to Nuance about these problems, but have little hope that they will invest the time in producing a patch since they haven't released any updates since 2003.

Thrums1,
I've never had to "register" ViaVoice after updating the system. I thus suspect you haven't fully followed my above, three-step advice (particularly step 3).
1) Reinstall ViaVoice from CD.
2) Update to the latest version (using the patch downloadable from Nuance's website).
3) Replace the “temp” and “users” folders (in the "ViaVoice" folder at the upper level of your home directory) by a previous copy thereof. When I say previous copy, I mean a copy from when ViaVoice was still working properly, e.g. a copy from when it was running under Tiger.
As I said, I've gotten ViaVoice to survive several system updates by following the above steps. To my knowledge, the last step is critical since it saves you from having to reconfigure ViaVoice under the new operating system (in this case Leopard). I suspect that ViaVoice is crashing on your system because it's trying to start some module of the SetUpAssistant that is incompatible with Leopard (as many are). If you instead use old copies of the "temp" and "users" folders (from the previous system), then ViaVoice doesn't have to go through the initial "registration" process; ViaVoice doesn't need the SetUpAssistant; and all is (more or less) fine.
Good luck!
BTW, to my knowledge, Dictate only runs on Intel Macs. It thus won't run on a G4 iBook, just as it won't run on my PowerBook G4.

MSI has a serious KVM switch problem.

On the K8N the iogear USB KVM switches DO NOT WORK. I have two computers.. one with an asus board and one with an MSI. Works fine on the asus board. I did a search and noticed another guy was having the same problems. So its a error that MSI needs to fix. Have they fixed it yet? If not it really needs to be looked into.

Well the PS/2 type Iogear works fine. It is just the USB version that does not with this board. That sux because I need the USB version so it will recognize my MX 500 mouse. If you place an adaptor on the PS/2 version it just sees it as a standard mouse thus not enabling the other buttons.
The belkin USB 2 port KVM works fine but the damn thing has no hot key switching and it is slow.
Could you not use a USB > PS2 adapter for your mouse and run your mouse off PS2 and use a PS2 KVM? I use a MX700 mouse on the PS2 port and with mouseware installed, all my extra (5) buttons work fine

Re-mapping key switches in Kontakt 3

Hi
does anyone know how to change where the keys switches are mapped to??
as an example, i have a violin with key-switches loaded. in the mapping area i can move all the groups to meet the key-switches down in the C0 range but i want to re- assign the key switches up to meet the range of the violin.
if i move the violin out of range it does my head in when i look at it in the score editor for editing.... violin in bass clef!!
thanks

Have a look at the pic below, hope it will solve your problem.

Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

Netra 240 Key switch position chnage to UNKNOWN

I cannot boot up NETRA 240 , the key switch position is change to UNKNOWN even if the rotary switch is set up to NORMAL position!
I boot up the NETRA in using bootmode option skip_diag but after a while the system goes down and I cannot boot up after!

Macbook Pro Key repeat problem

I've had my MacBook Pro for almost 2 years now but it's recently started to have keyboard repeat issues. The keys are not physically stuck but behave like they are, in a totally random manner - including the delete key and the space bar. Messages will end up lookinggggggg a bittttttt like thissssssssssssss. Very annoying.
This tends to be accompanied by a sluggish trackpad too. Then after a while - it behaves normally again.
I have nothing else attached - anyone any ideas?
Thanks
curlydog

I've been having an occasional key repeat problem for a while, I'd say for a year. I'll be typing, and then I'll stop, and the last key I pressed starts repeating and keeps going until I press another key. I've also seen it miss characters sometimes. This happens more often than a key repeating by itself. I'll be sure I pressed a key, but I get "wrds like ths." Maybe I'm just not pressing a key "deep" enough. Sometimes I've tried typing a bit slower and that seems to help.
I regret not bringing my laptop in for someone to look at earlier, but I've been very busy for the last couple years. The problem hasn't occurred often enough to make it a problem that I felt compelled to solve right away. It just feels like an annoyance, like, "Come on. This shouldn't have made it off the line like this!" I don't want to start a "war", but I had a Windows laptop before my Mac and I never had these problems with the keyboard. There are other attributes I like about my Mac, so it's annoying but not a big deal for me.
I usually run VMWare Fusion 2.0, and I've suspected that it's a culprit. The problem doesn't just occur on web pages, though that's where I usually notice it when it happens. I've seen it in TextEdit as well. What I notice is it happens when I've got something else running in the background taking up CPU time. Maybe the computer is swapping to/from disk. Sometimes I've seen it happen on a web page with some slow Javascript on it, again taking up CPU time. It seems to me it's a matter of the hardware or software missing the signal from the keyboard. Perhaps it's related to the "keyboard sleep" problem, which I've also seen, where the keyboard and trackpad just go dead. In this case I put the computer to sleep for a bit and then wake it back up. That brings both back for a bit, but it usually reoccurs, in which case I reboot it.
I've been hoping that Apple would come out with a patch for the key repeat problem. So far I haven't seen it. Would an upgrade to Snow Leopard fix it?

E4000 Key switch fan failure

I have an E4000 that listed several failures in prtdiag associated with a failed PPS. The PPS in question was not working at all and I have not replaced it. Prtdiag is still listing Key switch fan failure and prom detected failure.
Any suggestion on what might be the cause?
Thanks

Device Switch problem from Z10 to Z30

Device Switch problem from Z10 to Z30
Hi Dears,
I got my new Z30 and I tried to switch my old Z10 without luck, so I appreciate your help.
Both devices are identical OS Release (10.2.1.2102) version (10.2.1.2141)
I set up my Blackberry ID in the new Z30
I used BB-Link via my PC and everything started fine and smooth, and I followed all instructions step by step.
Until reaching to step (8 of 9 ) in the BB-Link, a popup windows appear in my Z30 saying “RESTORE IN PROGRESS”
But after 5 seconds, BB-Link cancel the restore process !!!
Also, I tried to connect my Z30 to my PC and restore previous Z10 backup directly through BB-Link, but same issue and message “the operation was cancelled”
One more thing, I noticed that, the BBM is empty and showing message “restoring your BBM information” since yesterday.
I wiped my device and try several time but no luck L,
Please I need your help

Is the new Z30 upgraded with the latest BBM version 10.3?
If not, upgrade that first through App World, then try the Switch Device or restore again.

Mode switch key mapping problem

I searched a lot of wikis, forums but i didn't find out how to configure this.
I'm using the romanian keyboard layout, configured like this in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "ro"
EndSection
Alt_R / Alt Gr is by default mapped to switch modes. I managed to make the left Win Key change modes, by making a ~/.Xmodmap:
keycode 115 = ISO_Level3_Shift
Now both Alt_R and the left WinKey switch modes. I want to remove the mode switch from the right Alt, because i need it for other applications.
I tried putting remove / clear keycode 113 in .Xmodmap but it didn't work.
Also, why is arch/linux(?) using "ISO_Level3_Shift" instead of Mode_switch?
this is my output from xev:
for left winkey:
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
root 0x155, subw 0x0, time 14283222, (43,85), root:(466,375),
state 0x90, keycode 115 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 113
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
alt gr:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
root 0x155, subw 0x0, time 14283906, (43,85), root:(466,375),
state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

Solved it.
I tried to add Option "XKbOption" "compose:lwin" in xorg.conf but it didn't work.
Finally, I switched to US keyboard and defined the language specific characters using xmodmap. Could have done this in the first place but i thought there was a way to remove the Mode_switch from Alt Gr. It would have been more elegant.

Virtual key figure problem

hi all,
i have a virtual key figure that i have to populate data into....this query is off a infoset...the client wants to see the total number of unique records populated into the virtual kf.the user exit has to read records from sales document number and document number and populate the unique ones in th the vkf.say, if the vkf's name is zpop and the infoset is zi_pop, the two ods's that make up this infoset is zods_1 and zods_2....please can u write me an abap code that reads the records and populates only the tot number of unique records into that kf.
thanks in advance

hi

Virtual key figures problem?

Hi Gurus,
what is Virtual key figures? at what scenerio you go for that.
please guide me ASAP.
In advance i appreciate you
RK

Hi
Virtual key figures are used when you want to determine the value of a key figure at runtime , the key figure is not populated in the load process ie its value is not stored in the cube. The logic for populating the keyfigures is written in an SAP Exit RSR00002.
Since the values are computed at run time, it affects the query performance if you have too many VKF or too many records in your cube.
There is a how to guide on the steps for working with virual key figures/ characteristics.
To give an example suppose you need an aging report where you want to show how many orders are delayed by 30 days , how many 30 to 60 days and so on based on todays date, So this number needs to change dynamically based on the date the report is run , you could use VKF in this scenario...There might be other ways of doing but just giving an example to explain the concept.

Keyboard problem - alt & shift key switch

Suddenly the alt & shift keys have switched functions but only for the "3" key along the top of the keyboard. Previously shift + 3 gave the pound sterling sign, but this is now alt + 3, which took some finding, shift + 3 is this sign #. I would like the pound sign back at shift + 3 where it's shown. I can't find anything to show how to do this, or why it changed in the first place. Please help.
Thank you.
Janet.

Perhaps the System Preferences have been changed from a British keyboard to a US keyboard. Go to Sys Prefs/Lang & Text/Input Sources to check what is selected.
