Windows 10 spells more than OS

There's a wee story coming...
I have been a Microsoft Partner and an IT Pro working on computer issues for people for quite a while (will come back to this). Have, also, attended many MS seminars and conferences. We often voiced concerns & complaints regarding that Tech
Support experience, if & when it was needed whilst on-site. Hold that thought...
This is the 4th OS I have beta tested for Microsoft. Beta means unsupported. Hold that thought.
There is an effort to convey the idea that the Windows 10 Platform is more, means more, than
just an OS. Many reckon that relates to technologies, One Core-Many Devices & all that. There, also, has been an effort to say that , ALSO, part of the equation is a "Changing Microsoft". Some examples: '1-Touch upgrades
of beta Builds, free in-place upgrade to GA, updates to the Platform into the future not, new OSs and a different complexion to Support & Customer Relations.
I read all the negative, borderline nasty comments in Tech Forums towards & about MS. And many who don't (or won't) see change in Microsoft...
Now, the wee story:
Even as a MS Partner getting Tech Support, in the past, has often been challenging, frustrating and depending on this or that, may have a fee. I wanted to talk w/ MS Tech Support regarding some queries from people in IT Forums and some questions &
issues of my own. I discussed this w/ a MS colleague @ a recent Cloud seminar. For some reasons we anticipated there might be a fee for the call. He kindly gave me a voucher to cover that possibility.
Anyone who thinks MS has not had a revelation and that a change of behavior & attitude into the future has not, ALSO, come along w/ the Windows 10 Platform is in denial...
I rang the number...
1. Hold times no longer insanity!
2. No jungle of options to wade through (phone buttons to push)
3. People answering w/ whom language is not a problem
4. Phone connections that are not terrible.
5. Did not need to use the voucher because it was a "No Charge" call, anyway.
What? Since when? Not what we expected.
6. Spoke w/ a Windows 10 Support Tech w/ "The Windows 10 Department".
What? Since when? On an 'UNSupported'
BETA OS? Where did I call??? Is this MS Tech Support?? Am I, still, on Earth? Did you just say Windows 10 Help Desk for an
unreleased OS?
7. He's going to take a couple of concerns higher up & PHONE me back about them. This is previously unheard of and it was HIS offer!
Have been trying to express for about 6+ months there is more worthwhile change coming to the future from Microsoft than just an OS. The positive differences from the past that accompany the Windows 10 Platform are huge. It all may touch
different Users in different ways, to differing degrees, some soon, some later. The perks & benefits will be noticed and appreciated, all in good & due time, maybe overdue time but, better now than never.
Cheers,

Everything of course will be fixed in the next version, it has always been that way. My first beta was win95, been an OEM system builder an Intel IPD since then, and l believe that you are being profoundly naïve.

Using numbers 2.3 how do i split windows to view more than 1 spreadsheet at a time?

using numbers 2.3 how do i split windows to view more than 1 spreadsheet at a time?

Hi seth,
Numbers vocabulary:
Spreadsheets (aka: Document)
contain one or more Sheets
on each of which may be placed one or more Tables
each of which contains one or more cells
each of which may contain either data or a formula.
Spreadsheets open in separate windows. Depending on the contents of each spreadsheet, and the scale at which you want to see it (and the size of your display), you can view more than one spreadsheet in the same manner as you can view more than one of any kind of document—open two documents in separate windows. Resize the windows to allow both to be viewed at the same time. Place and scale the individual documents to permit viewing the desired part of each
Sheets within the same document cannot be displayed simultaneously. You can make and open a copy of the document, then open and view both copies as described above, but this introduces new opportunities to edit the wrong copy. You could Copy a Table from one part of the document, open Preview and go File > New from Clipboard to create a PDF copy of that table (readable, but not editable), and view the spreadsheet and pdf documents as described above.
Tables can be rearranged, or have rows or columns (or both) hidden to permit simultaneous viewing of selected parts of both.
A Table can have Table > Freeze Header Rows and Table > Freeze Header Columns set to keep these rows/columns visible as the rest of the table is scrolled. Or can have a range of rows (or columns) hidden to allow viewing of rows (columns) adjacent to that range visible on the same screen.
Numbers does not support freezing of rows or columns other than Header rows and Header Columns.

Barry

Unable to minimize windows or view more than one window

I had a MacBook Pro prior to the MacBook 2015. I never had a problem minimizing windows. I really need to have more than one window open at same time, but I can't seem to do this with MacBook. There usually is a white dot in middle where it was yellow in MacBook Pro to minimize the window. There is an icon with double page symbol I can click in the right corner, but when it shows a thumbnail image of each website on one page instead of minimizing the window when I click on it. Is there something I can click on to minimize the window so more than one window appears at the same time? I do not even see line/arrow appear in corners of window to drag the window to a smaller size.

I do not even see line/arrow appear in corners of window to drag the window to a smaller size.
Just put your cursor on any edge or corner of a window until you see the double arrows then click and hold while you drag to resize. This is no different than it's been for the last 4 years since the introduction of Lion.
There usually is a white dot in middle where it was yellow in MacBook Pro to minimize the window.
The yellow dot will minimize the window to the Dock.

In Yosemite, a click on the the Green dot goes to full screen, an Option click is like the prior green dot's performance.

At first launch of a fdf file, Windows installer takes more than 30 min

I updated my Acrobat 9 software. After that, I noticed that at the first launch of a .fdf file, the Windows intaller works for about 30 min (during which time I cannot do anything) before opening the file. After that, evryting seems normal. I have Acrobat 9 on several machines (University License) and this happens for each of them. I have instructed my co-workers to rename the .fdf files as .pdf to avoid this problem, and to only try to open theur first .fdf file when they know they have at least 30 min free... Why is it so ? This problem did not occur with previous versions of Acrobat.

Just for the heck of it, I renamed a FDF file to a PDF file and tried to open it, no go. I was able to import a FDF to the original PDF. The install option is a bit of an issue and I am not sure what to say to that. It may be looking for the PDF file on the hard drive and not actually be trying to install Acrobat. I opened a FDF in the same folder as the PDF and it opened right up. Otherwise, I think the location of the PDF has to be encoded in the FDF file. The form name is typically at the end of the FDF file (OPEN in notepad or such to look at the details of the FDF). You will not that it does not start as %PDF, but %FDF.
As I mentioned, Acrobat is likely looking for the original document listed at the end of the FDF file.

My server Windows 2008R2 taking more than 30 hours to complete backup

Yah, no detail here but might be worth calling High-Rely and get a high performance backup NAS with 10gigE in it so you can hit the 24 hour window.

Unfortunately you aren't giving enough information to answer this question. What are you using for backup software? The built in windows backup?
The next question would be, is it possible to reduce how long it takes to back up? Unfortunately we don't know how much data you have, if it is mostly small files or large files, or what media you are backing up to. Tape? USB disk, Network storage? (If so what speed are the network links? 100Mb? 1Gb?
You are very limited with scheduling inside of Windows Backup. You can use windows task scheduler to start backups however and perhaps run them every other day? Your other option would be under the settings tab for the task in Task Scheduler,
"If the task is already running, then the following rule applies" Set this to Queue a new instance. It will wait for the previous backup to finish before...

Why do my tabs become tiled windows without input from me? I have to double-click the tab to make the windows disappear, sometimes more than once. This is annoy

This happens when I have several tabs. I'll click another tab and a tiled window appears with one window being the page of the tab and the other one the tab beside it. It's become quite annoying.

RE: Getting multiple values from more than one multiple select popup window

I have a button on a JSP of mine that when clicked creates a popup window (right now it is called popup.html) with a multiple select menu.
My question is how do I get all the values selected from the menu into my JSP (sample.jsp) so that I can set each of the values for my bean.
The other problem is that I have more than one select multiple menu.
Please help if you can. Any advice or suggestions here would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I realize that I can use request.getParameterValues to get the values selected from my html because I am passing them to the hidden inputs I have and then using the request.getParameterValues to get each of the values.
MY PROBLEM IS WHAT IF I HAVE 4 MULTIPLE SELECTS??? How can I use the same html popup menu to get the values from the 4 different multiple selects????
I look forward to your response.
This code is from my JSP:
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Field1" SIZE="15">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="F1Rad1">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="Permission">
<input type=button name=choice onClick="window.open('optionPicker.html','popuppage','width=250,height=100');" value="Options"></TD>
Here is my optionPicker.html code for the pop up menu:
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function sendValue(s)
var boxSize= s.options[0].value;
var restrict = s.options[1].value;
window.opener.document.addNewForm.F1Rad1.value = boxSize;
window.opener.document.addNewForm.Permission.value = restrict;
window.close();
</script>
</head>

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Cannot open more than one window with Firefox

I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks, now, and I've run out of ways to try and fix this.
One day, after starting my computer up, I opened Firefox. No big deal, everything looks fine, tabs are working, etc. Then, when I went to open a second window, nothing. The first window still works fine, I can open tab upon tab, but it just won't open any more windows.
As much as I'm a fan of the browser tabs, I still prefer to have them spread out over more than one window.
I've read through a ton of different troubleshooting walkthroughs and whatnot, reinstalled three or four times, restored settings, but nothing works.
Well, not entirely, I guess. Here's the part that I can't quite figure out. When I disable every single addon, Firefox works just fine. I've done the checking down the list, trying to single one out, but it's *any* addon. Even something as simple as a dictionary search ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/68/]) causes this to happen.
I've checked with an older computer with an older version of Firefox, and it still seems to work fine with addons enabled, so I'm wondering if this is an update issue?
Would reverting back to a previous version of Firefox solve this, and if so, where would I be able to find downloads for a previous version?
So, like I said, I'm at a bit of a loss here. Sort of at a crossroads for trying to figure out what to try next, so I'm hoping someone a bit more knowledgeable can help steer me in a direction.
Edit: I just noticed that the posting includes system information with my question. I should clarify that I'm posting this from an older computer with an older version of Firefox. On the computer that I'm having this issue with, I'm using the newest version of Firefox (3.6.8).

Some old posts indicate the following add-ons have caused the problem of not being able to open a new window in Firefox in the past. If you have any of them you might want to disable or uninstall them to see if that is causing your problem.<br />

You are using an out-of-date version of Firefox. Unless you have a reason for using that old version, you might want to consider upgrading.
*The Firefox version series 3.0.x is no longer being supported or updated, even for security issues.
*The last version in the 3.0.x series was 3.0.19 which was released 03/15/2010.
*You are using version 3.0.13 which was released 07/31/2009.

How do I create more than one "window"?

Hi.
I just started with JavaFX and know about the basics (at least I thought so).
But: How do I create an application with more than one "window"?
One stage has one scene with several components like buttons - ok... I already have a stage with a scene with buttons and actions - Now I want to click one of these buttons and then get to another stage (or scene or whatever) where I see some other textfield and buttons.
How do I realize this with JavaFX? I did not find anyone example in the web? What am I missing? Do you not create this flow with JavaFX?
Please can someone explain this to me (and if possible post a link where I can some code where this is implemented)?
Thanks a lot...

Recent thread: [Multiple stages app dev|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5405420]
Other threads... well, hard to find back, I reckon.
Simple example:
    // Some control/shape
      Circle
        centerX: 15
        centerY: 15
        radius: 10
        fill: Color.LAVENDER
        stroke: Color.PURPLE
        onMouseClicked: ShowDialog
      }and elsewhere:function ShowDialog(evt: MouseEvent): Void
println("Circle pressed");
var dialog: Stage = Stage
    title: "A Dialog"
    visible: true
    scene: Scene
      width: 300
      height: 50
      content:
        Text
          x: 5, y: 5
          font: Font { size: 24 }
          content: "I am a secondary window"
          textOrigin: TextOrigin.TOP
}Apparently, you just have to create an instance of Stage to have it to appear.

How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT?

How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT? If anybody helps me I will be obliged.
Regards,
Subhasish

Hi Ganguly,
It is possible to have more than one main window in a same page.
You create a main window and simply you copy and past it in the same page.. it will create first main window name as MAIN and other main windows as MAIN01,MAIN02.... up to MAIN99.
Contets flow from MAIN , MAIN01, MAIN02.......................MAIN99. contents after filling the current window it flows to next window(by default, you skip as well with some keyword not sure could be NEW-WINDOW)
you want print the main window data twice? or you want to create two main window in the same page ?
1. give two copies in the no of copies in the output type screen ( Which pop up is coming after excute the program ).
2. create two page with the same script form.
3. you can write the coding inside the program to print twice the same page.
Hope this information use full to you..
