Vista and color coding

I just had to buy a new laptop which is running Vista.  I am trying to install Palm software on to it but it isn't taking.  It keeps coming up FOUND NEW HARDWARE, then locate and install driver software -- but it won't do it.  Any idea why?  And I read that there is no color coding!  That's one of the best features~  has that changed?

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
What version of Palm Desktop are you trying to install?  If you are referring to the new Palm Desktop 6.2 by Access, that is correct, there is no color coding on the desktop version.  It is frequently addressed here on the Forums.

  • Navigation and Color Coding

    Hello Guys,
    I have got couple of design questions.
    1. I have a report with a view selector on it(Annual, quarter, month) that navigates to another report with the same view selector(annual quarter month) The problem I have is with the navigation landing pages.
    When i changed my report to quarter view from the annual view and then navigate to the report B I still land in ANNUAL view as that is the first view of the report. Users expect to land on quarter view directly based on what they select on the report A.
    So i was wondering if there is a way to control the view selector and column selector landing pages when navigation from report A to report B.
    2. This is regarding Color coding. I have three columns in my report Year, quarter, month with conditional color coding done on it(when year=09 then red, when month =jan then blue some thing like that). So now the report has both table and pivot view. The users want to see the color coding only on pivot but not on table. Is there a way to achieve that? I tried duplicating the columns and hiding in the table but hiding in the table will hide across all the views. So i am kind of stuck there as well.
    Can we control this?
    Any advice is appreciated
    thanks
    Prash

    Regarding 2) don't know how feasible this is since I can't see your report, but you can try this:
    1) For the columns that you want color-coded, put two instances in your Criteria mode. Now color code one each of those "dual columns" for your pivot table.
    2) For the "Table View" build another pivot table, but design it like a table, but this time using the "uncolor-coded" columns in that pivot table and keeping the other columns in the Excluded box.

  • Password Protecting Contacts and Color Coding Calendar

    I just got an iPhone today and was wondering if there is a way to password protect my contacts. Either all of them or certain records so that I will be prompted for a password before seeing a record (or all records). I had a Palm Centro before this and absolutely loved that feature since I could keep all my passwords in my phone and not have to worry about anyone else accessing them since the file was password protected.
    I haven't used the iCal much but is there a way to color code entries by event type (e.g. Birthday, appointment, meeting, etc.) This is another feature that my palm had that I really loved and was hoping I could duplicate it in some way on my iPhone

    The answer to your first question is no. You kept your various passwords with your contacts?
    Regarding iCal, you can create multiple calendars and have a different color for each. For example I have a Business and a Personal calendar with business and personal events separated. I can view all calendars combined or I can view an individual calendar by itself.
    The iPhone includes a Birthdays calendar that is linked to birthday entries for your contacts in Contacts. iCal includes the same linked to birthday entries for your contacts in the Address Book. The iPhone supports syncing calendars/calendar events with iCal and contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.

  • Calendar and Color coding events

    In looking at all the stuff online, it shows that the calendar can display your events on the list in a color code? How do you get this to work? And does this match the color codes in Exchange?
    Thanks,

    The color codes are simply a different color for each new calendar you add. I have a mobile me account and it added a few new calendars and each calendar has it's own color so when you view them all it will show you the specific calendar color in which the event is from.

  • Labeling/color-coding within iTunes

    I would like to color-code or label at the song or the playlist folder level for visual organization (like desktop folder labeling). I have done quite a bit of searching on MacUpdate and Versiontracker and cannot find any type of application that runs within iTunes that will allow this type of functionality.
    Apple is behind the curve on allowing customization to the iTunes library in a lot of ways, but this is minor stuff you can do to your desktop and your mail files--why not songs?
    Is there any third party apps that do this that I might have missed? I sort 99% of the music on my iPod by custom playlist, and color-coding/labeling would help me immensely. I'm a visual person but coverflow does nothing for me in this case.
    Thanks.

    I'll second that notion - color labeling is something I've wanted for a long time. I'm going to go post feedback requesting this also. Ability to label playlists or playlist groups or folders would really be nice, especially when you have 100+ playlists. I'm an organization freak anyway, but it is true that the eye responds much faster to color than to large amounts of text.
    There are so many other ways it could be useful. Example: you've imported a bunch of stuff and want to temporarily label chunks of it in the "Music" playlist until you can get it sorted. Or you could label something to make it stand out as a reminder to listen to, or an indicator that you've already listened to it.

  • Wish: annotate workflow with separator, comment or color-coding

    I've been developing a Finder workflow that has grown to 23 steps, and more are coming.
    The workflow is broken up into segments to 2-4 actions each. I've customized the action names and collapsed each segment in order to better see the overall sequence.
    The problem is the segments visually run together. If this were a programming language, I'd visually set off the first action of each segment with a blank line or a comment. I'd like to do the same with my workflows.
    The thoughts that come to mind are a visual separator, a workflow comment, colored action names, and color-coding (a la Finder labels). I like coloring best because it doesn't take vertical space (a critical Automator resource).
    [I submitted this as formal Feedback - Design/Ease of Use.]

    Thanks, lc55, for contributing to this thread.
    You could structure the workflow like a regular
    program with a main workflow calling subsidiary
    workflows ....
    That might add clarity to my long scripts, but at the expense of numerous small files, which seems like trading one problem for another.
    Here again, conventional programming provide an excellent model to follow, with a main routine and a collection of subroutines in a SINGLE file.

  • Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management

    This is a question about Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management. I scan 4x5 film and sometimes end up with up to or even bigger than 1 GB files. Obviously that needs as much memory as possible. Windows XP is limited in this regard and I am in the market for a new speedy computer which won't force me to stay at a snail's pace. In this month's Shutterbug, David Brooks in his Q&A column says to avoid Vista for color management reasons, but offers no explanation or support for his opinion. He implies one should wait for Windows 7 for some unstated reason. With a calibrated monitor and printer and Photoshop controlling color files sent to the printer, why would Vista be any different or worse than XP? Is he on to something or just pontificating? Does anyone know any reliable info about Windows 7 that would make it worth waiting for?
    Thanks.

    Photoshop has direct access to max 3.2gb
    On Mac OS X, PS CS4 can use up to 8 GB of RAM, but only directly accesses up to 3.5 GB. (Figures quoted from kb404440.) In using PS CS4 on Mac OS, though, direct Memory Usage maxes out at 3 GB even. If you set usage to 100% (3 GB), then plug-ins (including Camera Raw and filters), as well as actions and scripts, can access RAM above that 3 GB to between about 512 MB and about 768 MB total (seems to vary depending on which filters et al that you are using), leaving the rest up to 4 GB for the Mac OS. If you have more than 4 GB, then the amount of RAM above 4 GB is used by PS as a scratch disk. This increases performance significantly for most things because writing to and reading from the hard drive is much slower than doing so with RAM.
    I haven't done the testing for actual RAM usage and such for PS CS4 on Vista 64, and Adobe's documentation is very much lacking in detail, but, based on the statement "If you use files large enough to need more than 4 GB of RAM, and you have enough RAM, all the processing you perform on your large images can be done in RAM, instead of swapping out to the hard disk." from kb404439, it seems that PS would be using RAM in very much the same way as I described above for Mac OS, except that the scratch disk usage in RAM wouldn't be limited to 8 GB (instead to how much you have installed). Has anyone done any performance/load testing to know for sure? I didn't see any such studies published, but I am curious if one has been done.
    I will agree that there is a definite performance advantage when using PS CS4 (64-bit) on Vista 64, which I've experienced, especially when working very large compositions.
    My initial recommendation to the OP to use Mac was based upon reading those articles about bad color management. As I stated before, I have never experienced that problem, and clearly the views of all that have posted here so far indicate that the problem may not be a real issue. (Perhaps this David Brooks fellow and Steve Upton both like to mess with their computers and broke something in Windows?)

  • Simply put, I do not like like the new color coding "dots" and I do not like having to press the Command key before double clicking to open files in a new window. How hard would have been to include the old version of these two features?

    When I connect my iPod3 to my Imac, the memory shows 13GB or so assigned to "other" (color coded yellow). What is this "other", and can I clear it?

    The "Other" section on your iPod consists of several different things including album artwork, files you may or could be storing on it externally when using the iPod as a storage disk, the iPod's software/OS, as well as corrupt files that are leftover from failed sync operations with iTunes or are no longer recognized by the iPod's software or iTunes. The size of other is usually quite minute, around less than a GB, sometimes a little more (depending on the amount of media stored on your iPod).
    In order to clear this space out, you'll need to restore your iPod to factory settings in iTunes.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar color coding (categories) of appointments and meeting

    I synce my new iPhone 4 with Microsoft Outlook 2007 from work. I have all my appointment meetings color coded (categorized) in Outlook. The color coding is not showing up on my iPhone calendar. Why?

    Hi,
    I did a test on my side: The account in Outlook was an Outlook.com account, I created an appointment in its calendar, gave it a category. Then I logged on the calendar on
    https://bay04.calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx, the appointment was there and I could see the category, but there's no color on it.
    Based on what I see, it's probably by design that Outlook.com Calendars don't display category colors, although it already has a category. To confirm this, you can post the question in Outlook.com forum:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
    Since iPad is not a Microsoft product, I'm not sure and can't guarantee if it supports the calendar categories that Outlook supports.

  • My wife tracks our kids on her I pad calendar by color coding each child. When she syncs with my  calendar they lose their color. Can we sync and see each others calendar and keep the different colors

    Can you sync calendars and keep the color coded entries of the original calendar

    When you say she syncs with your calendar, do you mean she shares your calendars through iCloud, she subscribes to your calendar, or something else?
    You can color-code your view of a shared or subscribed calendar the same way you color-code one of your own calendars. In the Calendar app, tap the Calendars button at upper left, tap the ">"-in-a-blue-circle next to the calendar, and select a new color.

  • Color Coding in PHP/MySQL model: INC file

    Dreamweaver 8.02 on Vista RTM (wouldn't matter I don't
    think).
    I have a site I was using DWMX to manage previously and at
    that time I got into one of the XML or TXT files associated with DW
    and changed it so it would reckonize .INC as a valid file and
    therefore give me some color-coding, code suggestions as I am
    typing etc.
    On DW8 I see similiar XML/TXT files (for DW config) and now
    INC files are all over the place... so I am thinking it should
    reckonize this file types.
    Still though, the color coding (and the ability to use the
    menus to insert img's, etc) are greyed out.
    Any ideas?
    A typical inc
    <div>
    html
    html
    html
    </div>
    nothing hardcore.
    Any ideas? Macromedia/Adobe help online wasn't much help and
    my searching on the forums isnt bringing up anything.
    Thanks

    The .inc filename extension is popular, but it's also
    insecure unless
    the include files are stored outside the server root. Web
    servers have
    no idea of the correct MIME type for an .inc file, so they
    just serve
    them up as plain text if a direct request is sent to the
    server. This
    risks exposing sensitive information, such as database
    passwords.
    It's far safer to use the combination .inc.php. The server
    sees the .php
    filename extension and parses any code as PHP. The .inc
    reminds you that
    it's an include file.

    That might have been a solution from the begining but I was

    samples, etc. I am running PHP5 on IIS6 and its been fine for a
    year, I just tried what you mentioned, to treverse directly to the
    includes (and I know where they are...) and IIS doesn't give them
    up. If you have a method to try let me know I would be interested
    in seeing... though honestly, in the case of the website at hand,
    minus one dynamic section what is in the INC is what people see by
    viewing source on thier browser and in case of the dynamic pages
    (google maps mashup) they can have it ;) if it helps them with
    thier site... let me know if there is a way to test that security.

  • I have messages in mail that are color-coded as if by a rule, but I have no rules set. How can I correct this?

    The only rule that I ever had in Mail was the default one that color coded messages from Apple blue. I notice that some messages are color-coded brown and I have no rules set at al (hence no rule to turn off.)  Some of the messages are related to viewing online magazine, but not all.  How can I stop this?

    Hi. Thanks for your message.
    Well, I understand what you are trying to say but I thought it was easier to categorize in Apple Mail.
    On Entourage I just click twice on a sender address, record it on Address book and give it a colour that I previously defined as "Work", "Personal", "Customers", "Suppliers", "Friends" or whatever.
    As Apple Mail don't have Address Book as part of it but an outside feature it's very annoying. Of course I am used to use a software and I don't expect now Apple Mail do everything as Entourage but... as someone said it seems Apple Mail stopped in time. The recent version seems the first one ever issued. I hate the way Mail.app handles attachments by placing big chunky previews right in my email. I prefer them to be named attachments listed somewhere else, out of the content of my email. I don't if I can change this via terminal commands? Can you tell me if that is possible?
    I don't understand why Apple Mail have lots of plugins instead of a great improvment from the backstage.
    I use Apple computers since ever and I love this machines but sometimes I don't understand this lake of improvments.
    Take a look at this link:

    Of course I don't agree 100% with him but some things are true...

  • Is there a way to restore the earlier color-coding format?

    If there is a workaround to restore the earlier color-tag format, I would love to know it.
    In the alternative, I've submitted the following to Apple and wanted to share it with the community also, in case there is no workaround and others would like to add their voice in addressing the issue:
    The new single-dot color coding of tags in Mavericks doesn't work for me AT ALL.
    I have been relying on Apple's full-width color coding for quite some time because it could help me easily discern—at a glance—different file versions, project statuses, and other workflow particulars—without having to read the filenames' text.  In other words, it's been a convenient right-brain workflow.
    The key here, of course, is the idea of "easily" and "at a glance."  The new Mavericks color coding both extends and confounds my workflow—I now must do an additional visual search of any given list of files, especially because my filenames are often long (informational) and their middle section (in the column view) is likely truncated to conform to Apple's default narrow column formatting.
    The purpose and point of color coding is to reduce time and complexity and aid organization.  However, the Mavericks version now requires (1) doing a visual scan of an entire column of filenames, instead of a visual "grab" of whole bands of color without any need to read the filenames, (2) locating the color dots at the ends of those column lines and making sure they correlate with the proper text (left-brain/right-brain work instead of just staying right-brain), (3) making a color comparison of extremely small fields of color (tiny dots instead of full-wide bands), and (4) implementing a visual/mental check step to ascertain that that a particular color dot is the correct one. Because of the added confusion of having to do "manual" left-to-right visual placement, it becomes necessary to add the step of expanding the filenames (column widths) to get certainty.
    I'm guessing that at this early point in the Mavericks proliferation you'll likely want to dig your heels in to defend and preserve all the involved and extensive work you did to produce the update, but I strongly urge you to revisit the particular design decision mentioned here.  It makes it tougher for us out here using the program, and it works against your PR efforts:  I'm now less likely to trust your design decisions and will be much less likely to implement future updates or champion them.
    If I could uninstall Mavericks and get my previous version back, just for this one item alone, I would. It's been a mainstay feature for me, and one of the things I've lauded to non-Mac users to encourage them to venture Apple.

    Downgrade Mavericks to Your Previous System
    For Lion or Mountain Lion
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to a Mountain Lion Installer app or USB flash drive installer:
       Partition and Format the hard drive
          1. Select the target volume you wish to use.
          2. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menubar.
          3. In Disk Utility select the target volume from the left side list. Click on the
              Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the Partition Scheme to one
              (1) from the drop down menu. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended,
              Journaled. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
              Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Quit the Main Menu to return to
              the installer.
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion: Select install Lion or Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. .
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    For Snow Leopard or Earlier
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

  • Calendar App: color coded events...

    Hello,
    Like most folks I have a number of calendars - home, personal projects, work, etc. Each is handily color coded in Calendar, which is great. So far, so good.
    However, in my *single* work calendar (which is served from a company account on Google so pulling in from my company Google Calendar account) I have multiple types of things going on: internal work and then differet clients work. To make sense of my work world I really need to color code my different clients and my company internal work.
    So the outcome I am looking for is to be able to color code locally on my MBP different events sourced from the same Google calendar.
    I can't see how to do this in Calendar (I'm on OSX 10.8.2 and Calendar 6.0 (1645)) and so far I haven't found a third party app that will do it either.
    Please can any one in the community advise:
    1. If this is possible how I achieve it (e.g. could I create several calendars locally all of which somehow aggregate up into my single Google work calendar so that my colleagues and clients can see a full and true pictue of availability at the Google level while I have segregated/color coded view of items locally on my MBP)?
    2. If this isn't possible in native Calendar app on OSX are there any apps out there that will allow this?
    Am I really the only person with this need? I can't believe so and I'm sure someone must have solved this issue already...
    Many thanks for your time and consideration of my issue.
    Regards,
    Richard

    It sounds like something that you should be able to do with AppleScript, but alas I'm not proficient enough to tell you how to do it. There used to be an Applescript guru that was a regular on here (Yvan), but I'm not sure if he's still active in the community.
    You could try searching google for applescripts related to calendar or iCal (its still called iCal in AppleScript's dictionaries list even on Mountain Lion) or try asking for help on MacScripter.
