Why are some properties collections, can they really contain more than 1 item?

I notice that sometimes an objecthas a property that I would expect to be singular, but is exposed as a collection. For instance, TextFrame.texts is a collection of Text objects. But how could a textFrame contain more than one Text object?
And related to this topic, why does the Text object have a property Texts? What could be in that for a given text?
Thanks!

Auto resume feature of Lion. To disable the feature:
Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”
2. Likely tied to above. How can I close, shut down completely programs? I hit the red X then it still shows the white dot under the application in the dock. For example, I use Chrome. I only opened up Safari a few times when I 1st got this yesterday. However, I have a white dot under Safari.
after you close out the program, when you see the light still under the programs icon in the dock, right click and select quit.
3. Is there anyway to add a application from the dock to stick in Launchpad?
not that I am aware of.  This doesn't mean it's not possible.  It just means if there is a way, I am not familiar with how to accomplish this.

  • Can SharePoint calendar show more than 3 items on a Day's schedule in Month view? How?

    Hi there,
    Can SharePoint calendar show more than 3 items on a Day's schedule in Month view? How?
    Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to expand all items if a Day’s schedule has more than 3 items.
    You could accomplish your requirement with jQuery to auto expand all items when you load month view, please refer to this article:
    Auto Expand Month View on SharePoint 2013 Calendar
    http://blog.eastridge.net/auto-expand-month-view-on-sharepoint-2013-calendar
    If I misunderstand your requirement, please provide more detailed information.

  • Can a function return more than one item or object?

    Hi I am trying to move text movies and textfields around a stage. This is a learning curve for me. I am confused by an example I have found on the internet.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_actionscript
    What type of object is
    var letter:Object = getLetterObject(_text.charAt(i));  // in the draw function
    as it has properties
    letter.stepDegrees = _totalAngle / numOfLetters;
    getLetterObject()
    seems to return lotts of stuff which would not be done in other languages like C
    return
    movie:movie,
    field:field,
    widthInDegrees:0,
    fieldWidth:field.width,
    fieldHeight:field.height
    I would like to get my head around this as this is a good example of what I need. Well parts of it actualy.

    Hi
    I still think I need an Object parent child linkage diagram on this to get my head around it.
    It seems that things are reversed so that it is Object:value. Kind of confusing to see movie:movie.
    var letter:Object = getLetterObject(_text.charAt(i));
    letter holds the following objects
    MovieClip:Movie
    TextField:field
    widthInDegrees:0  // What is this. What type is a  widthInDegrees
    fieldWidth:field.width // Same as above
    fieldHeight:field.height  // Same as above
    And to cap it all, back in the calling function draw()
    letter.stepDegrees = _totalAngle / numOfLetters;  //  What is stepDegrees a property of? MovieClip,TextField,widthInDegrees,fieldWidth or fieldHeight
    I can understand the first two but not the last three
    For example widthInDegrees is not mentioned anywhere in the code. and
    letter.stepDegrees // implies that stepDegrees is a property of Object:letter.
    Do you throw a property and value blindly at the letter object and let flash work out which object it is a property of?
    MovieClip & TextField do not have this property. Searched the web for this information. We need an equivelent of MSDN.

  • Why can't bluetooth support more than one item at a time?

    I have a HDX JAM bluetooth speaker which allows me to play music from my iPhone to a nice loud powered portable speaker. The speaker needs to be paired naturally. I wanted to add another HDX JAM so I could hear the music in a couple of rooms as I did household chores, but alas, when I turn one on the other goes silent, in other words, the bluetooth from the iPhone is only allowing me to hear one or the other but not both. Why is this? They both are paired with different numbers, I can have a wireless keyboard and another wireless device paired with my computer, at least I think that works as I also have a wireless bluetooth printer that runs off the computer and the keyboard also and they do not need to be run independently. What am I missing here?
    TIA,
    Ken

    You may perfectly "their typed information and move it around" in Numbers which behave as the AppleWorks Draw environment.

  • Why Can't we Have more than 100 items in a page???

    hi,
    I have a page with 120 text fields , the page does display the 120 text fields but if i try inserting only items till 100th text field is stored in the database the remaining 20 i.e, p101 to p120 text field values are not inserted in to the database,
    is this a constraint because the page while editing shows "item exceeds a maximun of 100", if so wat are the work arounds for it...
    thanks in advance

  • Why are some of my songs not in order in my albums?

    I was wondering why are some of my songs not in order in my albums? This wasn't a problem when I first used i-tunes, but I had to download a newer version of i-tunes to get my sister's ipod to work.  For Example my album "AC DC Live" has track #3 Back in Black as the first song listed.  How can this be fixed?

    Hello igho234,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. You don't mention how those songs got onto your playlist, but this article may address your issue, if they were imported from a third-party application or CD.

  • Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
    "The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
    (Error code - 36)"
    Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
    I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
    Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
    Here are the specifications:
    Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
    I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
    I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
    Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
    1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
    2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
    3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
    Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
    4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
    "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
    However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
    Am I doing this the right way?
    Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
    Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
    Thanks

    To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
    Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
    Thanks Kappy

  • Why are some of the file folders on my desktop showing up with a shaded color?

    Why are some of the folders on my desktop showing up with a different folder color, a dark shad of blue, opposed to the default blue color?
    I've searched and searched but all I can find are posts on how to change the color of your folder. I am concerned that maybe, I accidentally shared it or have done something I am not aware of. (Mac Mini, 2.3 i7, 1TB, 16GB RAM running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2)

    I don't know how many photos you're trying to post on one page but if you put too many PCs using Internet Explorer may have problems loading the page.  I prefer to keep the number down to less than 50 and have more than one page which will be indicated by the page links at the top of the thumbnails:

  • Why are some 100% Accurate Rips not matched by iTunes Match?

    Why are some 100% Accurate Rips not matched by iTunes Match?
    Is there an Apple Support employee that can address this question?
    The phenomenom occurs for over 500 of my tracks spread out among 100+ albums.
    Certain tracks simply do not match to the iTunes library, despite being 100% Accurate bit-for-bit Rips. For reference, I use dBpoweramp for ripping, which checks CRC.
    As an example, take Aerosmith's "Get a Grip" album; Tracks 2 and 5 will not Match to iTunes, despite perfect integrity in the ripping process.
    Upon looking further into those particular tracks, I notice a discrepency between the "track length" reported on the iTunes store page, and my accurate rips for those tracks [track 2 & 5 on iTunes: 4:09 & 6:19, respectively; track 2 & 5 direct accurate rip from physical CD: 4:10 & 6:07, respectively].
    So clearly, with track 5, there is a major discrepency, 12 seconds difference, which leads me to think the iTunes release of this album and retail release of the CD I physically own are quite different.
    Well there, I guess I've solved the "reason" for the undesired functionality, but it certainly doesn't solve the issue at hand.
    A major aspect of the iTunes Match product is To Match, so that, in part, bit-rate upgrades can take place, and also to provide management and format uniformity.  I do realize that there is no guarantee iTunes has every album one could own, and entirely un-matched, and thereby Uploaded, Albums are a significant upside feature of iTunes Match; however, 1+ tracks on each of a significant quantity of albums, which iTunes carries, not matching to iTunes creates heterogeneous-format albums, and significantly more library management.
    If there is a workaround for this issue it would significantly improve the user experience for iTunes Match.  A user shouldn't have many hetereogeneous-format albums when iTunes carries/sells those albums, and the user has perfect quality rips from their physical CD.
