What is the mystery button?

Greetings-
There is a button located on the side of my iMac G3 all in one; it is next to the reset button.
Every manual that I have looked at has not identified this button.
Does anyone know what the function of this button is?
My computer has died.. I've tried everything suggested in the discussions to get it going again, and nothing works. It starts, but won't boot up; takes 2 or 3 hours before a folder icon appears, another 3 r 4 hours before it flashes occasionally.
I'm at the point where I would gladly reformat the hard drive and start over again, but I can't do it with the system software... I'm hoping this little button on the side of the computer might help.
Anyone know what it does?

this button is the programmers button. Its not something you'll ever use except if you do a firmware update. Other than that, you'll never need to touch it.
So I'm afraid its not going to be any help to you with your problems.
"I'm at the point where I would gladly reformat the hard drive and start over again, but I can't do it with the system software"
Do you mean the Software CD's won't let you reformat? What does it say exactly when you try to? Does disk first aid or another utility say anything at all? Can you even boot from a CD?

What is the WPS button of my access point?

HELP! What is the WPS button of my access point?

The WPS button is what allows the printer to be recognized by the router. Sometimes it's a real hardware button and sometimes it's a software button. The instructions got your router/AP will tell you.

Its pretty generic.

Does anyone know ....
What is the "Extract" button at the bottom the DNG converter dialog box for ?
THANK YOU

In DNG Converter you have an option to embed the original RAW files (CR2, NEF etc) into the DNG file (see screenshot). Later you might want to extract them back, for example, for converting in camera-maker's own software.
So, if you have any DNGs with original RAWs embedded, Extract button will get them back.

What does the refresh button in contacts on an iphone do

In the top left corner of contacts opposite of the edit button there is a refresh button. Does anyone know what it does?

Hi Aishi,
Yes you are correct.Well i would change my previous statement :
EXCEL/Word Processing is not to open a BLANK SHEET, but to open an EXCEL/WORD document and paste the ALV output data into the Sheet. You have several option when you click on EXCEL. You can paste the ouput as a PIVOT TABLE in excel sheet or Excel SAP Macros or a normal table.
Open program <b>BCALV_FULLSCREEN_GRID_EDIT</b> in SE38 and execute it. Click EXCEL. And follow the directions. It will copy paste the code from the ALV output into Excel/Word File.
The difference in EXPORT is that in EXPORT, you can download it in different formats ( VIz. excel, text etc ) without any formatting ( COlors etc.). But in the EXCEL button case, the data is copied and has different colours for columns etc.
Best regards,
Prashant

What is the excel button in alv grid supposed to do?

Hi All.
In the ALV reports, we see an Excel button too.
But on pressing it, a blank excel sheet opens, and there is no way to go out of it. We have to exit the report.
What is it supposed to do?
Thanks everybody !

What is the bookmark button for? It keeps disappearing.

The bookmark button shows at 'customize' time but then just goes away. What is it for?

That Bookmark button appears when the Menu Bar is hidden and the Bookmarks word menu item won't appear. Showing the Menu Bar is the default for WinXP; with Vista & Win7 the Menu Bar is hidden by default.
That particular Bookmarks button opens a slightly truncated view of what the Bookmarks menu item on the Menu Bar shows. There's another similar Bookmarks button that is sitting in the Customize Palette which opens the Bookmarks Sidebar.
If you want to see the Bookmarks button that "disappears" when you close Customize, open View > Toolbars and click on Menu Bar so the check-mark is gone and Menu Bar will be hidden, replaced by the orange Firefox button.

Transfer Equivalency - What is the Modify Button for?

Can anyone tell me what the Modify button is supposed to do in the Transfer Equivalency functionality (transaction PIQED)? It seems I can not see that it does anything so I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong. I'm hoping it will allow me to equate additional work that has been added to the transcript since the last time it was equated.
Thanks,
Stan

Stan,
You can use 'Modify' on a released equivalency determination. Clicking the button will allow you to either 'undo' the grouping for a transfer regulation that was applied, and it will allow you to enter a note for a transfer regulation.

What are the two buttons of the left side of the screen on my new Cosmos

The buttons of left side of the display screen of my cosmos 2 - one at top left and one at bottom left - what are they for and how and what do I use them for

This question has driven me crazy, lol, I finally know what the correct answer is. I never us the qwery keyboard since I an use to texting from a flip phone and the qwery keyboards letters are so small I just text from the front keypad. So here is what I found, if you slide out the keyboard you will notice to the left button acts as a soft key and takes you to Message if you click on messaage you can text right from there so I guess its a short cut key and the right button takes you to contacts and that takes to to Favorites and all your contacts. Sorry about the misinformation I gave you last time. I ordered the I user Guide which contains all 292 pages of info and its free for the asking. In that little minnie book they give you with the phone it tells you where to send for it.

What does the "complex" button do in the side menu ? Flex time menu

hello
can anyone please advise me what the "COMPLEX" button does ?

http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10/#lgcpa77a4a3f
Look under Polyphonic in the list.
What it means: Straight Polyphonic would be for a single instrument playing chords. ie: guitar, keyboard, voices...etc. The Complex setting would be for a mixture of instruments.

What does "The iPod "Buttons" could not be synced...." mean?

Everytime i plug my iPod in to my computer this warning comes up:
"The iPod “Buttons” could not be synced. The required file is in use."
(Yes my iPod IS called Buttons, sad I know).
What does this mean, does it mean that it isn't updating it?
Does anyone know how I can get rid of this warning?
Or make sure my iPod 'is not in use' when I try to update/sync it?
1.9Ghz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 30GB iPod video

Update means going from ver. 1.0 to 1.0.1, which is why my App Store app reflects that I have an update.
Tried about 15 times after doing various things such as correcting permissions and reinstalling the 10.7.3 combo update.

What are the 4 buttons on my iPad?

My iPad is dead, will not recharge I know the sleep and home buttons, but what are the two on the side?

volume rocker, and the 'side switch' - which can be set either for rotation lock or mute in settings.
Are you charging with the wall xformer? Can you borrow a different one and a different cable to see if that is the problem?
The switches aren't going to help you any.

What are the mysterious keys for hide and unhide programs?

There is a strange symbol next to the apple symbol that is part of the hide and unhide short cut keys.
I cannot find what these are after searching help, studying the keys and asking several people.
This must be so obvious it escapes me!
I have the new photoshop elements and it doesn't have the minimize buttons so I need to hide it.
Help!

AH! Yes. I guess I never made the connection before because I never use Command-H. I've had a multi-button mouse since the Stone Age, and have always had one button assigned to Option-click, so have always hidden apps by a middle button click on the Desktop. Also I almost never use Command-H to hide selections in Photoshop because I tend to forget I did that and then get frustrated when something like the clone tool doesn't work because I'm cloning outside the selected area.
After reading the blog entry you sent I started experimenting to see which "normal" conventions Elements wasn't following, and, since hiding and unhiding was the topic at hand.... BTW, thanks for the link to the blog. I had never really thought about many of those idiosyncrasies before, like fly-out menus for instance.
