Working around incompatible pointer via NSImage and NSStatusBar
I'm giving a status bar item an image through NSImage. I'm running into were the app builds and opens in the status bar, but the image I want dosen't display. I receive a warning saying "Incompatible pointer types sending 'NSString' to parameter of type "NSImage". It's displayed to this code...
- (void)setImage:(NSImage *)image{
[statusItem setImage:@"cargo-menu.png"];
-(void)setAlternateImage:(NSImage *)image{
It is possible that you damaged the cable during the touchpad removal, but it is probably more likely that it isn't in straight. There are little tabs on the receptacle It is also possible that the cable connecter isn't snapped down completely.

Work-around for lack of cut and paste for files in finder
I am new to Mac and have observed some past but closed discussions about the annoying lack of cut and paste in Finder. I too find it very time-consuming to move a file into the folder where I want it to live - especially from downloads. Using a MacBook Pro 13", my open windows are naturally on top of each other and using drag and drop with a touch-pad for file organisation is very cumbersome. Four finger behaviour on touch pad only helps so far.
The approach I adopt is to use cmd c to copy the files or folders in question. cmd ` to flick between finder windows (usually more than one is open) and cmd v to place the files or folders where I want them after navigating through to the destination folder. Shift cmd N gives me a new folder if required. cmd ` takes me back to source folder (usually downloads) so I can cmd delete the files and keep things tidy. This is lengthy to write down. It is however reasonably quick if your fingers know the keyboard shortcuts.
Is there a more efficient way for me to work around this inhibitory feature of Finder? "Save as" is only good if you know you have a folder in your file structure already created and named and suitable to receive the file you want to file away (usually an attachment to an email).This is in reply to your last paragraph...
This is the Mac OS default Save As... dialog:
Notice that there is a downward pointing disclosure triangle to the right of the Save As: field. If you click on the disclosure triangle, a full Finder window will be exposed, and this will enable you to place downloaded files wherever you like.
Notice, also, that in the bottom left hand corner of the exposed finder window, you are able to create a new folder (in any location on your system) to which you are able to download files.
This works the same way in any Save As situation, using any app, and the app you are in will remember where you last chose to save a file so that repetitive navigation in these dialog boxes is somewhat reduced. -
hi there,
me and my girlfiend just got an ipad 2 and were trying to register it but itunes will not connect to the store, i have run diagnostics and the internet has come up green, itunes connectivity as yellow and secure connection as red. i belive this is due to us running our internet off a tethered phone (htc desire) using tmobile as the provider ( the ports must need to be open) we havent got a dsl or cable line and the internet off the phone works fine for everything else..
i may be wrong about the ports but can someone please shed some light on why the store wont connect? seems strange that everything else works except itunes store and we cant even use the ipad yet as its saying it needs to connect to store, has anyone else encountered this problem? please help.

Work around for spry:repeat="ds1 ds2" limitation
I need to have both data sets repeat when using a Spry repeating region:
<div id="apDiv4" spry:region="ds1 ds2">
<table class="sprytable" border="1">
<tr>
<th spry:sort="Q#">Q#</th>
<th spry:sort="Category">Category</th>
<th spry:sort="Question">Question</th>
<th spry:sort="You">You</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="ds1 ds2">
<td>{ds1::Q#}</td>
<td>{ds1::Category}</td>
<td>{ds1::Question}</td>
<td>{ds2::You}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
If I use ds1 in the spry:repeat, ds1 data will repeat (but ds2 will use the first value); or if I specify ds2, ds1 will use the first value.
I need them both to repeat.
I have spent so much time in forums, etc. and can't seem to find a workaround.
My only work around is to combine ds1 and ds2 and reload them together from the server - yuk!
ds1 is fixed and large. ds2 is small and dynamic so reloading really sucks.
Following are the ds Vars - probably irrelevent:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "rsfamily", {sortOnLoad: "Q#", sortOrderOnLoad: "ascending" }); ds1.setColumnType("Q#", "number"); var ds2 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("youranswersIRtab.php", "youranswerstab", {}); I will worship the person who gives me an idea.
ThanksThanks V1, timkho and coolsanwa for your thoughts. Since you've been so patient (and understanding) let me briefly tell you what I'm trying to do.
I'm considered good at multi-dimensional databases and have recently fallen in love with DreamWeaver to build a pretty complex site so I don't have to be a real expert at PHP, Spry, Ajax, JavaScript, DOM, HTML, CSS etc (I suck, but most everything is working).
I wish I could point you to a site but I need to keep it secret for a bit - its strictly on my PC for now.
Let me explain the snippit, which I still don't have working .
ds1 has three columns and ds2 has one.
ds1 ds1 ds1 ds2 ds3
Q# Category Question You Compare1
1 Boats How big? 24 36
2 Boats What color? Blue Red
3 House Number rooms? 3 6
4 House Sq feet? 1000 3000
5 House Have garage? No Yes
etc to 200+
ds1 doesn't change and I don't want to reload it
ds2 are your saved answers (I will have a form to fill in and a Submit- different subject)
ds3 is user selected comparisons, retrieved from a MD database (academic because ds2 has me stopped).
Category has table row classes (to whole row), which will drive Tabbed Panels.
ds1, ds2, ds3 data have the class assigned to each row (setRowSelector) classes for columns(setColumnSelector).
I want a Spry Table with its many neat features (eg. sorting) that combines the 3 ds's (lets worry about 2 for now).
Incredibly simple but I'm stuck.
Timko suggestion results in syntax error- removing single quotes.
Collsanwa suggestion creates new columns so repeat is done for each row after You column:
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
200+ times
(I'll repeat the snippit) . Could you point me to an explanation for the spry:if id/mmid
Thanks so much.
<div id="apDiv4" spry:region="ds1 ds2">
<table class="sprytable" border="1">

Can't get iPad2 iMovie to post director-length to YouTube. Any work around?
I have permissions on YouTube to publish videos of any length but iMovie doesn't know this, won't allow me to reset permission lengths in the app and stops me from posting anything longer than 10 min I believe--the former standard length limitation. I'm using the iPad2 to shoot, edit and post my videos and want it to be full-length, not segments. I've seen this issue show up continually on these boards. Do the developers every pay attention? Seems like a very easy fix. And, has anyone found a better work-around than having to export and upload via browser?
BTW, if developers are listening, here's one other handy game-changer: what if you could pinch-zoom into the editing controls so that you can get better precision than >.02 second increments in video/sound editing. Right now the grabbers are as imprecise as my fat fingers.
Looking forward to any help you can offer. Best, silvaHmmm... No. Unfortunately. The file is getting uploaded, but the process to move the image over is failing.

FM hypertext doesn't work - work around in RH doesn't work... need help!
I am working in TCS2 in Windows XP. I posted this in the RH discussion too... I hope that is OK that I put it here as well (hoping to reach the correct audience somehow!)
I am trying to single-source things. So I have created a huge doc in FM. Within FM, I have hypertext links to openfile a PDF (which works just fine in FM, and when I generate a PDF it still works nicely). Then I import into RH and those hypertext links don't work anymore. So I created my own little work around:
Went to that place and coded the FM hypertext as PRINT
Added a hypertext link (coded as ONLINE) that will jump to the required destination in the online help files
Works beautifully. But b/c I am single-sourcing (I think) whenver I make changes in the FM files and I have to update the RH files, the manual changes I've made to the RH files (as above) disappear. That is not going to work for me... I cannot do that manual work around everytime I update... too hard to remember, to time consuming, etc. etc.
Here is ultimately what I need:
-the PDF link to work in FM (which it does) - usable in PRINT generation
-a RH link which jumps to that location in RH - usable in ONLINE generation
Suggestions?
Thank you!
AdrianaHi there
Could it be as simple as the setting in the RoboHelp HTML Single Source Layout of "Mark Of The Web"? (MOTW)
With MOTW enabled, links to local files such as PDFs don't work. At least when you test using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Audio encoding hang work around
After scouring this discussion and the internet, it seems the following is true:
1) The source of the audio encoding delay is the conversion of the audio to an iDVD friendly format;
2) There is indeed progress being made even though the activity monitor may say not or you may get a not responding message;
3) There are two work arounds that work well, but with a properly debugged iDVD we should not have to do this nonsense. Here's to iLife '07 fixing this mess, hopefully.
So, as to #1, even if you first convert the audio and then lay down the audio to the iMovie project there are still delays, especially with longer movies. It is quite apparent that this is an iDVD bug as other programs convert audio files quickly. (As to camera audion, you have to make sure you are in 16 bit with your camera.)
As to #2, by looking at the package contents (Command I) you can see the progress of the audio encoding even when you think it is hung and even if you get a not responding message. To do this open your local disk, go to documents which is where iDVD puts them, and look for the title of your project, highlight it and hit Command I. Note the bytes, close the info dialog, and then reopen again. You may need to do this a few times depending on RAM, clock speed, etc., but you should see a change in bytes after awhile. If so, there is progress being made, as painstakingly slow as it may be. (A 1h53m movie took about 40 hours on my G5 with 1.5MB RAM! Not acceptable!)
As to #3, the same thing is being accomplished, by different means. In both case you are creating a new file that handles the audio encoding on the way out and then reimporting with audio encoded. In the first, you export to your camera and then turn around and import into a new iMovie project. Add your chapters and then open from iDVD. Save as a disc image and then burn from the Disc Utility application which can be found under Utilities.
The other work around is sharing to Quicktime and then reimporing to iMovie as a new project, and do the same as above. Following the latter, it took me 40 hours plus before took about 5 hours.
I hope this saves you all some time.
iMac 20" G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.5GB RAM, Ext HD 250GBI think I may have found a solution to my problem. It seems
to be related to how much resources(RAM) I have available to the
program. If I try a lower resolution setting it works fine. If I
set the priority of the program high I can use higher
resolutions. -
It's simple... I want the Illustrator pen tool to ALWAYS make corner annchor points and NEVER smooth. Right now I have to convert every single one of them, or I have to do a work around every time I draw a line and make one of the handles disappear. Is there some simple setting out there that will just "make it so?"@
The video I am watching this guy is just dragging every line to make curves. And every anchor point is a corner. He is not switching back and forth between the pen and the anchor points tool, and he is not using the convert points tool. He draws a curved line and starts another straight line only to curve it with a click and a drag. It is super efficient, and I could save a world of time if I could figure out what he is doing.

I have a 3rd party "TPLink ADSL wireless" router controlling Internet and DHCP , Now require my (Airport Basestation and Timecapule) to merely join the existing network. I know this can be done but it was a bit of a work around the automatic setup. The autmatic setup only offers (Create new/WDS/Extend) Does anyone know how to do it, or can point me to the post.
Many thanksUnfortunately, I need to connect both devices (Extreme and Timecapsule) via wireless. The ADSL router is not conveniently located to allow me to cable them directly. They are both being used to drive a bank of non networkable printers and external harddrives via the USB ports on each.
My frustration with myself is I had it setup, but failed to record for future, the trick in how to unhide the "join network option". I then had a failed firmware update from Apple and then needed to reset the routers and bang the settings were gone.
The Security setting is not an issue I know those I am using WPA2 personal.
I would be grateful for the wireless setup if you have it handy...

The Skinny on IMAP vs POP Email and work arounds
It took me a while to figure out email so I figured I'd share what I've learned so far. Do feel free to reply with more useful tips for us all if anyone has some.
First email accounts are either IMAP or POP and the first step was figuring out the difference:
IMAP
Mirror of the server
What is done one place is done everywhere because you are looking at the server.
Advantage: can access email from multiple devices/locations
Disadvantage: May have to mark as read individually when adding to a new device
POP
Independent of the server
What is done one place stays that place because you have moved it from the server.
Advantage: once it's delivered the mail can be viewed offline
Disadvantage: where ever it is delivered once, the other divices do no have access to the mail
Think of the server as a huge mailbox as big as a room!
IMAP
With IMAP the mail stays in the mailbox until you delete it permenently,
but once it is deleted it has moved out of the main part of the huge mailbox into the trash can in the room of the huge mailbox (the trash folder settings decide when the trash gets taken out and deleted permenently) when deleted permenently it is no longer in the trash can in the huge mailbox it has been taken out the the dump.
If you read it then it's like opening the mail but leaving it in the huge mailbox.
If you move it to another folder then it's like moving it to the desk in the room but still in the mailbox.
POP
With POP the mail is taken out of the mailbox and moved to the computer (in the other room)
Once you request/download your mail it is taken off of the server and whatever is done with the mail the server no longer has access to it
If you read it (or move it to a folder) it is the same thing as Mom taking the mail out of the huge mailbox and putting it in the car, if Dad checks the mailbox the mail may have been delivered by Dad is not going to find it because it is no longer in the mailbox it is with Mom in the car.
Here a link that helped me figure it out:
http://www.office.mvps.org/glossary/pop_imap.html
So after you decide wether you want to use IMAP or POP which email carrier is which?
Microsoft Exchange is IMAP
MobileMe is IMAP
Yahoo! mail is IMAP
Hotmail is IMAP
Gmail is IMAP can be set up as POP
see here for that: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8149520#8149520
~Most web-based email is IMAP (if it is designed to be accessed via the web by ANY computer it's likely IMAP)
settings for incomming/outgoing servers: http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html
AOL is POP can be set up as IMAP (origanally intended to be used with only one computer via the ISP)
see here for that: http://email.about.com/od/aoltips/qt/Access_an_AOL_Email_Account_with_any_POP_IM AP_Email_Program.htm
Comcast is POP
Qwest is POP
Earthlink is POP
~Most ISP (internet service providers) email from a cable/internet company of a business specific email is a POP account
Use this chart HT1277 ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1277 ) for contacting your service provider or IT department to acquire the proper settings for your email account!
Finally, as promised, work around for your email:
If you only have access to a POP email account and it won't work on your iPhone or want it to act like an IMAP account, then follow these steps~
1) Get a free IMAP email account (using Gmail for this example)
2) Sign in to your Gmail account
3) Click the gear icon in the upper-right
4) Select Gmail settings
5) Select the Accounts and Import tab
6) Under Send mail as, click Add another email address
7) In the 'Email address' field, Enter your name and alternate email address (ie the POP address)
8) Choose use Gmail's servers to send your mail
9) Click Next Step>>
10) Click Send Verification
(Gmail will send a verification message to your alternate email address to confirm that you own it)
11) Open your other account and click the link in the message Gmail sent
12) Add your new Gmail account to your iphone
You will be able to send, receive, reply, forward, delete, and manage folders of your other address through your Gmail address on your phone and it will appear to the recipients as though it came from your other address.Allan, I have run into questions in this area recently since I got my iPhone. I have a long time Charter ISP POP email account which I've accessed with Apple Mail. This has worked fine. I also have a Yahoo web based account which I've also used separately.
Now when I set up my Yahoo account on my iPhone it worked great. But when I set up the Charter account it resulted in an IMAP account with incoming and outgoing servers being mobile.charter.net. Charter website implies that all email accounts on all mobile devices must be set up like this. My question is whether I can, or should, try to set up the account manually as a POP on my iPhone so it will behave similarly to the Charter POP account in my iMac?
I've run into some conflicts after using my iPhone to access my Charter email. My inbox on my desktop iMac in Apple Mail will give me the message that another client is accessing the email account when I try to get new mail soon after my iPhone has been accessing the Charter account. I've wondered whether this is a conflict between IMAP and POP?
Confusing. Thanks.

Work around for iSync and k800i calendars
Hi all,
I am using OS X 10.4.9 and iSync 2.4. On my Mac, I have to use Entourage to be able to use the email server here, so I sync my Entourage calendar with iCal by having 1 calendar in iCal called Entourage.
I have just bought a new SE k800i and when I first tried to sync, the contacts worked fine, however no calendars went across. I made sure the right calendar, in fact the only calendar, was selected in the iSync preferences but no joy.
I have no events that repeat further than June,so I'm not sure if that's the issue. Does anyone know of any work arounds for this?
Also, what's the best way to Sync, would it be via bluetooth or can I do it via USB?
Thanks for any advice.I don't think slideshows (or the iPhoto library itself) is backwards compatible with earlier versions of iPhoto, but I'm not sure. If that's a concern, exporting the slideshow as a QuickTime movie might be the best option, but that's getting off the subject of the thread, so if you have further questions about that, you might want to take it up in the iPhoto forum where people more familiar with iPhoto will be able to help.

My Mac air book screen automatic change and automatic open different programs during my working it's move its self and I lost my work and mouse pointer automatic dance. Help me to solve
Any one can help meThank you for your response - I'll give it a go.
Also, just to update, my iMac cursor seems to glitch a little bit less now. It seems that at least ONE of my problems may have been caused by sitting my iPhone upon my WACOM tablet. The tablet must receive some sort of disruption from having my phone on it - and removing it seems to remedy a fraction of my mouse-jumping problems - if only for a meanwhile.
The mouse cursor still does jump around on its own occasionally, and the other mouse problems do persist - so this must not be the only culprit for my array of problems. -
Designjet 250c and Vista? Driver or work around?
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am looking for a work around for Vista so I can print directly to my designjet 250c. It works on XP and everything below but the driver was discontinued for Vista. I was wondering if anyone was aware of a program which could translate the print information or if anyone created a DIY driver. Thanks for any help in advance.
