What commands can I use in iChat, like "/me"?

What special commands can I use in iChat?
I know about the command /me
And I know there's a command to roll dice
What are the other commands, or what command will get me a list of commands?

Hi,
I know about slashme ( /me )
For those that don't know it is something you can type in a Text Chat and it wil appear in the middle of a Text chat at the same point Timing and the Joining/Leaving messages.
/me waves will appear as "Ralph Johns waves".
The name that appears for you and your Buddies doing this depends on how you store your name in the Address Book (Real name in iChat) and those of your Buddies. If you only know/store their Screen Name That is what appears.
I don't know about the Dice roll though.
Could do with knowing what that is.

Macbook Air is locked. What command should I use to reboot? Why is this happening? Pics included

I recently got a MacBook Air from someone who owed me money. The MacBook Air is completely locked and Im not sure how to bypass the secured login screen or which code to use that will boot in an alternative mode. I've tried Command + R, Command + S, Option and none of these three worked. When I press Command + R, I get the following lock screen (the picture is just upside down, not sure why.)
I own a macbook pro and have reset my password using Command+R. Not sure if MacBook Airs need a different command. When I press Command+S I get a loading screen, then a screen that tells me "Your computer is disabled. Try Again in 60 minutes"
Why is this happening?
What command can I press to bypass this?
Could I put a clean OS on a USB drive and install it that way to have a clean install? If so, how do I boot it, if I can only get to these screens?
Now that my computer is disabled and I have to wait 60 minutes, should I perform the correct command once the time is expired or can I use it immediately, while the disabled time is still active?
Please help!!!!
Also, not sure which OS its running since I can't get pass this to fully inspect the Macbook Air.

That is an EFI Firmware Password.
There are only two ways around it: bring it and some money to Apple, who will certainly want proof of ownership, or obtain the password from its previous owner.
A third method that I do not recommend is to pay any number of sketchy third party outfits that allege a means of removing the password. There are several reasons I do not recommend it, among them: I have no personal experience with them, I have no idea if they will be successful, and you may have no recourse if they damage the Mac and render it permanently broken. Apple will certainly refuse service if anyone other than Apple or an authorized Apple repair facility tampers with it.

What function can be used to give a "count of occurrences of values" ?

I would be very appreciative if someone in the user community could save me a few months of work....I've already been neck deep in my old statistics and calculus manuals. What function can be used to get the count of occurrences of the value of an item. Ex: Item is Status and possible values are "Published", "In Production", "Construction". In one report, I want to report all records of a table and list the Status (among other items) but at the total, I would like to see a count of each value for the item Status....something like Sum(Count(Status = "Published")) Sum(Count(Status = "In Production")) Sum(Count(Status = "Construction")). I know I could run the report 3 times counting a unique value, but I'm trying to be more efficient in my reporting. Thanks all for any help given.

Hi
In addition to John's answer, inside Discoverer you can do this:
Let's assume you have a Status item and it has the values you mention. If you create the following new calculation SUM(ROWNUM) and name it Status Count you only need to include the Status and the Status Count in the worksheet. You will now see a count for each status.

What tool can i use to create an animation for iPad

What tool can i use to create an animation the will run in I.E., Firefox and iPad. I want to have a series of large buttons that i can scroll using arrows on the left and right side of the large buttons, with each button being a hot spot. I can't use Flash because it is not supported on the iPad.

I've been playing with both Edge and Hype, and I found that stuff I create in Hype actually works in IE 8, but stuff I create in Edge does not. I'm not sure what the difference is, other than perhaps Hype automatically writes some legacy scripts so that things will work in IE. Hype's not perfect, but it's doing the job for what I needed it to do, where Edge was no help at all (working in IE I mean).
I think Edge is a much better tool - more robust, greater feature set, but Hype seems a bit more forgiving and seems to play nicer with crappy browsers like IE.

I want to make a grid. Apple said Pages will do the job. I need to change the grid to 1 in. x 1 1/2 in. squares. What tutorial can I use to show me how to do this?

A calendar is not difficult nor does it take long once you know where the dates fall.
Start with a basic month template table.
1. Click on the table icon on the Toolbar to create a basic table for one month
2. Click on the resultant table > Inspector > Table > Headers & Footers > 2nd button > 1
3. Inspector > Table > Body Rows: 6 > Body Columns: 7
4. Inspector > Metrics > Size > Width: 7 cm/in > Height: 7 cm/in
You can drag resize the whole month to your liking afterwards
5. Select the entire header row > Inspector > Table > Edit Rows & Columns > Merge Cells > Type in a month
6. Type Mon in first cell & Tue in 2nd cell of of 2nd row > Select both cells and drag the white dot in the bottom right corner sideways to fill the cells with the days
7. Do the same with the dates in the cells below
8. You can fill the spare dates at the beginning and end of the month if you like and maybe change them to a paler grey.
9. Style and position the text as you like it.
10. If you don't want to see the grid or want different strokes, colors etc:
Inspector > Table > Cell Borders/Cell Backgrounds etc
When you have the first month looking the way you want, option drag out copies sideways to make the rest of the months.

Water + electronics do not mix. Something was damaged insode, and the logic board may be corroding as is.
Take it to a Genius Bar for an evaluation and repair estimate.
This is accidental damage and not covered by warranty.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.

What else can I use beside Compressor?!

Compressor is now useless to me. Unknown time remaining will not fix. What else can I use? Anyone know?

Look, we understand your frustration and, since we've been hanging out here a long time, we differentiate newbie issues as separate from actual or legitimate problems by seeking information newbies refuse or simply do not understand how to supply. You've added significant information that will allow us to assist you.
Compared to the hundreds of thousands of successful and happy Compressor users, "plenty of people" is not significant.
The next post in this thread suggests your only hope is a complete system wipe and reinstallation. Do you want to try that and report back to us?
It is useless if it doesnt work and yes I've never gotten to use it. I have used lessons on lynda.com. It's not that I don't know what I'm doing. Try a simpler batch, I was using the simplest of batches. The setting is conventional. I spent time on the phone with 2 different Apple tech people who know compressor. I assure you I have spent the entire day trying to fix this to no avail.
I've learned that plenty of other people have this same problem with no solution being offered here or from Apple.
