What about if the awaking breaks external devices?

I use external sound and MIDI devices via USB ports, If I close the lid then awake my macbook pro, the external devices don't work anymore. Is it possible to close the lid without sleep?
Why do I have to close my laptop?
I want to use another larger displayer and full keyboard in my office. And I don't want to keep my MBP's screen lighting.

Since you have an external display and keyboard (and presumably an external mouse), you can run in clamshell mode. The MBP still needs to go to sleep, but can be awoken with the lid closed. Instructions are as follows:
Wired kb/mouse - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
Bluetooth kb/mouse - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1308
Alternatively, you can use a 3rd party hack to disable lid-closed sleep (but these can reportedly cause problems):

Hope this helps...

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

Advice on what might be the best networked external hard drive to create my own cloud storage?

Anyone have any advice on what might be the best networked external hard drive to create my own cloud storage? That way I can have access to all my stored files, songs, pictures and most of all movies on lets say my laptop or iPad. Since there is not very much storage on the iPad. I want to be able to access my hundreds of movies that I have from in my home on my network or away from my home as long as I have an internet connection. I know there is a Seagate one and a Western digital one, does anyone else know of any others or have any advice on which is the best? A plus would be for an external storage device that I would be able to access my movies through my apple to tv? Please help been looking for almost a year and cant make up my mind on what product to buy for what I am trying to do and create my own personal cloud storage.

Or, I might have to do the old technique of using the Pen Tool in Illustrator and tracing over the filligree.
That's probably what I would do. If you're not well-practiced in Illustrator, this will be a good exercise. Just place the image you have, lock it down (either the object, or you can put it on it's own layer and lock the layer) and start with the pen tool.
Everyone probably has their own method, but I like to start by placing all the points I think I'll need as corner points (click, but don't drag to make the point curved). I then pick the Direct Selection tool (white arrow) and then the Convert Anchor Point tool. If you click on a point, you can drag it to be curved, but if you hold the Command key (on Mac OS) it will temporarily switch to the Direct Selection tool, which will allow you to move the point if necessary. Others would just make curved points as they go, but this is how I like to do it.
For the pointy shapes on the end, you could probably make one then rotate a copy. For the curvy parts in the middle, you may be able to make one and scale copies, or use the blend tool. As you go, you can switch the visibility of the placed graphic on and off to see how your creation looks on it's own, and when compared to the original.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Is the recovery from external device possible?

Hi @all,
I have a Satellite M30x-134. My DVD drive damaged an now my question:
How can I recover my system (Windows xp) with a damaged internal drive?
Is it possible from an external dvd drive via USB or from an USB stick?
Can you tell me the settings for this procedure?
Many, many thanks and greetings,
Egge

Theoretically it is possible but not so easy to do. USB option will not work. What you can try is to use external CD/DVD drive but it will not work so easy. The reason is that this external device will not be recognized automatically.
I didnt try it but I am pretty sure you must start your notebook with start disc in DOS mode, load DOS driver for this external device to have access to it and as last step start recovery installation.
It is pretty complicated.
Better solution for you is to check eBay, buy new optical disc drive and be happy with well working notebook.

What happens if the screen breaks?

Mine hasn't but I saw online that someone's broke so I was wondering .. what happens if it cracks? Can I get a new one for free or do I buy it .. is their a warranty I can get or insurance that I buy in case is breaks [the glass not the actual phone]? If someone knew the answer that would be helpful :]

Which part about a subsidy paid by AT&T on your behalf for the iPhone 3G do you not understand?
The $199 price for the 8GB iPhone 3G is AT&T's subsidized price.
AT&T's non-subsidized price for the 8GB iPhone 3G is $399.
AT&T's subsidized price for the iPhone 3G is for new AT&T subscribers and for existing AT&T subscribers who qualify for upgrade or subsidized pricing on a new phone.
The full retail sales price for the iPhone has dropped $200, not $400. The only reason you paid $199 for the 8GB iPhone 3G is because you qualified for upgrade or subsidized pricing for the iPhone 3G. AT&T paid Apple $200 on your behalf. You get AT&T's subsidized price for the iPhone or for any phone that AT&T carries once every two years. The first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way. The sales price for any new product is always higher for early adopters. The early adopters who purchased plasma televisions when first introduced paid much more for it than the sales price now.
You can have your iPhone's broken glass repaired by a 3rd party, but it probably won't be a whole lot less than Apple charges for the same repair - which pays for an exchange, not just to replace the glass.
You sure have a strange love for a company you describe as being a greedy, disgusting icon for America along with their policy in this regard being corrupt and unjust.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts that Apple will not provide you a new iPhone for free due to accidental damage on your part, just like an automotive dealer won't provide you a new vehicle and a computer company won't provide you a new computer due to accidental damage on your part, regardless how many vehicles you have purchased from the dealer, or how many computers and money you have spent with a computer company. None of the PC box assemblers do so, and Apple is no different. They are in business to make a profit and to make their stockholders happy.

Got a new hard drive for Snow Leopard, but what about all the applications?

Hi,
Installing Snow Leopard revealed a faulty hard drive, but Genius Bar got me a new hard drive and installed Snow Leopard and the rest of the Mac Box Set for me.
I'm putting my computer back together, and I had all my files backed up on a Passport, but what do I do about the applications that I had? I could use a reinstallation of Office for Mac and Final Cut Express. Can I ask the companies directly?

More reason to back up your +*entire system,+* whether with Time Machine, a "clone" app like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, and/or some other way.
You should still retain the original discs, of course, but having a full system backup greatly reduces the chance you'll need them.
For info on Time Machine, you might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial
and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
For info on others, see Kappy's post on Basic Backup, complete with links to the web sites of each product.

What about setting the page numbering on a bunch of files that are used in multiple Bookfiles?

I have an FM 10 bookfile called BookfileA with 20 chapters. In chapter 1, I set the chapter numbering to start at 1 and the page numbering to start at 1. In chapters 2 through 20, I set the chapter numbering and the page numbering to increment from the previous chapter. So far, so good, but here's the problem. .....
In BookfileB, chapter 1 is a different file, and the original chapter 1 is moved to chapter 2. But BookfileB's chapter 2 is still self-resetting its chapter and page numbering to 1.
Because of the unusual fact that BookfileB has an extra chapter, do I have to monkey with the chapter numbering every time I want to generate one variant or the other? Is there something about numbering that I don't realize?

> You're still using the Book settings to specify how the file is to behave with that option ...
True enough.
[*]RFF is likely the optimal setting for most users, who either don't have multiple Book files, or do, but use a consistent numbering scheme for all (our case).
If RFF is not selected, and the Book and component file Document Numbering settings don't match, FM complains, vaguely. It's a pain to chase down why. And in our experience, if RFF is not set, the Book and component file numbering can get desynchronized by FM crashes, so what was working all of a sudden does not.

Security can protect the client, what about protecting the app from client?

This is not about code obfuscation or preventing decompilation.
I'm actually interested in trying to build an extensible application without a managed full-time server (the clients may go mobile and become disconnected) that can protect itself from not necessarily a malicious user, but more like an incompetent one.
As I looked into using Eclipse RCP, I realised that this is going to be too fragile (delete a single file and it's all going to fail) or even worse, an unapproved plugin could be installed.
As a client, I can require that jars be signed and everything, but how as an application can I require that the client VM is running secure?
Short of Sun's "Sun Secure Global Desktop" product, does anyone see any obvious solutions?
Thanks in advance.

300+ users that, honestly, can break a bowling ball in 500 ways. This is a perfect reason to use a web app, until you find out that we've been asked to provide offline capability.
Most frameworks/environments (hibernate/cayenne, RCP, JPF) all have configuration files that can be messed up by well meaning users and support staff. In a way, I'd love to have that info available from a web server, but we're back to offline support.
A possible solution is a local (in office) server to manage the apps for local clients, I'd just like to make sure we've thought about everything before we commit resources and staff. To properly support offline, we're probably going to need this anyway.
I'm just wondering if anyone's managed to begin to address any of these kinds of issues.

GarageBand v.10 vs. v.6: what about all the support files?

Never used GarageBand myself, so I don't know much about it. Redoing setup of a friend's older model iMac, I install some of the iLife 2011 apps, but see that the App Store offers the latest GarageBand v.10 as a free install, so I go ahead with the latter. However, I note that the new GarageBand doesn't seem to install any of the very large array of support files that the old GarageBand did (e.g. in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand). I wonder, does the new GarageBand use any of that stuff? If so, shouldn't it appear when GB 10 is installed?
I delete the new GarageBand and install GB 6.0 from the iLife install disc; it puts the usual 1.4GB of support files in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand (and others elsewhere, I believe). I then download/install the new GB v.10 again, noting that while the GB 6.0 application file (which has now been placed in a folder labeled "GarageBand 6.0) is some ~267 MB, the new GB 10 application is 1.2GB. So does the new GB include all its support files within the application? If/when I delete GB 6.0, shall I delete all the supporting files (which I recall from previous searches are spread out in various locations)? Anybody know about this?

Thanks, léonie, for the information; very helpful. I downloaded the updater for GB 6.0.5, but the Installer told me “The version of GarageBand installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available.” Software Update / Mac App Store doesn’t show any update for any version of GarageBand.
Assuming that the presence of GB 10 prevents the Installer from seeing GB 6, I delete GB 10, pull GB 6 out of the folder where it was placed by the GB 10 installation, then Restart the iMac, and run the GB 6.0.5 Update again. Now it tells me “GarageBand 6.0 or later is required to install this update.” Uh, GarageBand 6.0 is right there in the Applications folder; it even says “GarageBand 6.0” below it.
Okay. I move GarageBand 6.0 to the Trash, and reinstall it from the iLife 11 disc, then Restart the iMac and try the GB 6.0.5 Update again. This time it works. Whew. I then download/install GB 10 again. I’ll leave it up to the iMac owner to decide where he wants to go with these.
Thanks again.

FF4 eliminated homepage. Re-updated 3.6.16, still have no homepage; so no email, etc--everything's gone. How do I get it back? If I set up new homepage, what about all the email? Am not computer savvy, can anyone help a computer nerd?

When Firefox is opened, my home page is blank. Bookmarks are still there, & all seem to work except 'myyahoo', which is my home page. Screen is blank below toolbar, etc. Cannot get 'myyahoo' to come up. According to many other questions I read, everyone had some kind of trouble when they updated to Firefox 4; restoring to 3.6.16 seemed to solve the majority of those problems. It did not help me.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

What about including the version number in the package report?

Here's a simple suggestion - can we include the file version in the report that's created when you package files? Shouldn't be too hard to add something like:
ADOBE INDESIGN CS6 PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE PROVIDER REPORT
Or
PUBLICATION NAME: 030-0212-INT_Clinical_FF.indd
PACKAGE DATE: 4/3/12 10:11 AM
Creation Date: 4/3/12
Modification Date: 4/3/12
Version: CS5.5
I can't believe I haven't thought of it sooner ... or that no one at Adobe has, either!

I'd prefer it to be even more precise:
Application: InDesign CS5.5 Version 7.5.3 build 333
Operating System: Macintosh 10.68

I am selling my iMac, but what about resetting the computer?

i am putting my 21.5" imac up for sale, but it has been recently upgraded to osx lion. i want to reset to factory defaults so that the new user can operate the mac like new, but want to keep the new software. is this possible?

Just to expand a bit: the license for Lion purchased from the app store is NOT transferable, so that is the reason you need to wipe the drive and reinstall the original system. Legally and since you'll be erasing it, you could keep a copy of your system if you like since you paid for your license, but - if you're buying a new Mac, it'll be already installed, so there's not much reason to keep it.
