Zooming in TextEdit - Where's the % display?

I can't remember exactly when this feature went missing, but TextEdit no longer has the little window zoom percentage feature in the lower corner of any window. It used to drop down to offer 100, 125, 150, 175, 200% and so on. It's gone! I used it all the time. Now there is a counter intuitive shift-command-period/comma sequence that only zooms in way too much with one attempt to be of any use. Why do longtime useful functions just keep disappearing for no apparent reason? What are the programmers thinking?

Can you give a reference supporting your statement ?
From Apple? No. Plenty of threads in here though, both builds of iTunes 9 released for Mac & PC have been missing this feature and people have given feedback. This is either a policy change and it will remain that way or it was accidentally omitted during the redesign in which case it may reappear in a future build. Either way the control isn't magically missing from just your copy, it's the same for all of us.

Where are the "Display As" templates?

I am using the Blue Grey theme on an application. On some forms there are fields that are not updateable and have the Display As set to "Text Disabled, ..."
In the Blue Tan theme fields that are set to Display As "Text Disabled, ..." are grayed out. I want to gray out the text or the boxes on the fields in the Blue Gray theme just like that.
I looked at the Blue Tan templates for the form Region and can not see what I should change... not even a clue. Doesn't look like it cares about the Display As property.
Where should I look?
Or, heaven help me, does this require changing the CSS file?
TIA,
Sam

Christina,
The themes are
2 is Blue and Tan
13 is Blue Gray
Let me see if I understand the problem correctly. When you set an item as either Text Field (Disabled, does not save state) or Text Field (Disabled, saves state) display type, this works in Blue Tan theme, but does not work in Blue Gray theme?
Close but not exactly.
In both themes the "Display As" property of Text Field (Disabled, ...) does disable the field from updates. In theme 2 (Blue and Tan) it also "grays" the text. This is common in many applications for identifying information that can not be updated. In theme 13 (Blue Gray) it does not change the text to gray but leaves it black.
If you go to Shared Components>Templates, you will find templates for "Labels" types (No Label, Optional Label, etc.). When you set the Label type in a Page Item, the template changes the way the Label is displayed and allows HTML coding.
I am looking for templates for the "Display As" type. It isn't on the templates page so I assume it is hidden somewhere in the bowels fo ApEx.

HT2905 Where is the Display Duplicates option in iTunes 11?

I just downloaded iTunes 11 and notice that the "display duplicates" option is not available in the Music Library. Why?

Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

Where's the "Display album artwork on your iPod" preference?

Everything seems to work fine with iTunes 9.0.1 and my iPod Classic 80G, except that it doesn't seem possible to remove album artwork from the iPod. I just read the article "[Viewing album artwork on iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2317?viewlocale=en_US]" and I know that I just have to deselect the "Display album artwork on your iPod" preference in iTunes. The problem is that, after selecting my iPod under the Devices section in the iTunes Source pane, I can't find any such preference in the Music tab. I can see two radio buttons ("Entire music library" and "Selected playlists, artits, and genres") and one checkbox ("Include music videos"), but no "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
Any idea?

Where is the 'display album art on my iPod' option?

I only use my iPod in the car, so I don't exactly need album artwork on it. iTunes used to have an option to display (or not display) album art on the iPod. What happened to that option? My iPod is a classic, so it has a hard drive, and I'm getting tired of the constant disk access whenever it wants to display album artwork. I would prefer to get rid of it altogether.
I don't want to delete the artwork itself, because I also listen to music with my AppleTV at home. I just don't need the artwork *on my iPod*. How can I rig it so the iPod won't display the artwork anymore?

never mind, I found out that the option no longer exists:

My windows appear 'zoomed out'. That is, the display has small font sizes and lots of information in each window. This happened 'on it's own' one day when I logged in. How do I zoom it in again and keep it there?

Example 1 - Yahoo email 'inbox' page.
The font size of the list of emails in my yahoo email 'inbox', is about 8 (that is very small). In fact it is everything in the 'inbox' window except the adverts.
The font size used to be 12 which is bigger and more easily readable.
Example 2 - 'My ebay' summary page.
To read the list of 'activities' to choose from on the left of the 'summary page' I have to scroll down for ages until the second activity appears and then scroll down for ages again to get to the third activity and so on. It's as though the summary page was 20 meters long.
All the activities used to be on the left when I opened the summary page.
It is as though some setting has changed with out me knowing. I don't know if this is relevant but I think it might have happened after I accepted a Java update.
Thanks for whatever help is offered,
Tony

To zoom in and out of a page, hit the CTRL and + (plus) or - (minus) keys.
You can use the + or - keys either above the QWERTY keyboard, or the numerical keypad on the side.

Where is the display filenames option in web gallery export?

adobe bridge CS4, as i'm understanding this feature went away in later versions.
Just trying to export a web gallery that will include the file name beneath of it.
I thought the feature was non-existnant so I have spent a couple hunded bucks and about two years trying third party options, I prefer that the web gallery export look exactly like bridge.
in reading through these forums again, i see mention of to simply check "Show File Names" when I create a Web Gallery.
I cannot find this option anywhere.
just want to have web gallery with the names of the files beneath the images, if it were searchable, and could be organized by alpha-numerical order just like bridge, that would be what I wish.

adobe bridge CS4, as i'm understanding this feature went away in later versions.
In CS6 it is still there, only under the Template 'HTML Gallery'
Don't have experience myself with Web Gallery so no idea if this has changed but believe it has always been this way, maybe they changed the order of the templates?

Conditions not appearing in the display mode of Purchase order

Hi,
We are facing an issue where in the display mode of Purchase order,if I click on the conditions tab in the item details, Iam getting a blank screen. But if I trigger the pricing procedure in the change mode for eg. by changing the quantity or price, the conditions are appearing.
I want to know why the conditions are not being shown in the display mode. All the PO's are using the standard pricing proceduresRM0000.
Also when I trigger the pricing in the change mode for some POs the condition types like PB00, NVAS etc are appearing twice, in some POs the condition types are appearing thrice and in some all the condition types are appearing four times.
I have checked out some OSS notes like 798449, 456690 and 772035 but could not find the solution.
Any pointers to this will be eagerly awaited and highly appreciated.

Hi Ramachandra,
The problem on not being able to see details in condition tab is due to lack of authorizations

Mac-mini "detect displays" where is the individual model's DDC info stored?

I have a dilemna- I just bought a new 20" NEC LCD screen that has all sorts of bells and whistles. It's 1600 x 1050 native, and has DVI, analog VGA, YUV, compostie, and RF inputs. It is supposed to have a scalar that supports a multitude of resolutions including 1920 x 1080i.
I bought it for a system of which has (2) mini-macs through a DVI KVM. I had one mini-mac successfully read the DDC info from the montior, and it provides a wide range of supported resolutions (including 1600 x 1050). All resolutions listed are progressive (no interlaced options)
When I switched my KVM to the 2nd mini-mac it was stuck in 1024 x 768, and that was the highest res that the display preferences gave me (probably because that's what it read off the DDC of the KVM switch?). When I hit the "detect displays" button, it proceeded to update the list of supported resolutions, but a very bizzarre thing happened: It did the opposite of the first mini-mac, and only listed "interlaced" video resolutions (with the exception of 1280 x 720p and 640 x 480p). The list was all 'broadcast-style" resolutions.
The profile for this montior on this mini-mac is now stuck in this mode, and I cannot get the desired 1600 x 1050 resolution that is native to the monitor. I've tried everything I could think of including ditching plists, clearing the PRAM, tricking the mini-mac, etc....
It's almost as if a mini-mac stores a registry of the monitor's DDC information onto the video card 'permanently' the first time, and never allows to re-read the DDC info again???
Does anyone know how to clear this registry?
The other clue to this whole thing is that the monitor has an option where you can set the DVI IN to either "DVI-PC" or "DVI-HD". The fussy mini-mac displays nothing in "DVI-PC" mode, and the behaving mini-mac displays in both modes. It's possible that the monitor was in "DVI-HD" when I hit the "detect displays" button on the fussy mini-mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, I wish I had your set up to play with. I could probably learn a lot from it
When DDC is read by the Mac, and when users make resolution settings based on it, the resultant settings are stored in a file called com.apple.windowserver.plist. There is one such file in /Library/Preferences but there may also be occurances of it for each user account on machines set up for multiple users AFAIK. They are plain text files so you can actually read them with TextEdit or other text editors.
The simplest thing to do might be to copy the file from the mini giving the desired behavior and use it to replace the file on the mini with the bad behavior. I don't think there is any machine specific info in the file, so I believe the file should be portable in this manner. On the other hand, this may not work because when you restart the misbehaving mini it might regenerate a "bad" windowserver.plist file again and replace the one you just copied over. Although I don't think that will be the case. Can't hurt to try. You might want to keep the older pref file around and rename it to "preferences.old". There is a procedure outlined here that is similar although it is based on doing everyting from starting into console mode:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
As for why one mini is reading EDID one way and the other reads altogether something else, that's a really good question and one that I hope you are able to track down the answer to and report your findings back here. It could provide a lot of insight into other types of problems people have reported on this forum. Perhaps it relates to the DVI-PC or DVI-HD setting you refered to, but I have never known any other display that actively changed its EDID. EDID is always fixed I thought. Good luck and let us know how things turn out.

Viewing Modes at fullscreen- where's the Zoom and Panoramic options???

I was wondering if there was an option to crop videos in Quicktime for Mac, so I had a look at the help viewer. Then, under 'Viewing Movies at Full Screen' I noticed it states that in fullscreen, you can move your cursor up to View, you can access Fit to screen, Zoom, and Panoramic viewing options.
The problem is I can't see those options anywhere. Where are they? I am on the latest version of Quicktime. Is there something I am missing? Are there any keyboard short-cuts for these? Is there any cropping options available that I am missing?
Thanks for any help.

Although QT Player 7.2 offers full screen playback without the Pro key I'm wondering whether the other full screen options are Pro only. In any case, try this -- go into full screen display using command-f at this time your movie should be in full screen and now try pressing command-4 (which may give you a "zoom" mode -- it does on my Pro version of QT7.2). Next press command-5 which should produce a stretched or panoramic mode. Actually, all of following command codes should change the display mode (after entering full screen mode with command-f):
command-0 (50%)
command-1 (100%)
command-2 (200%)
command-3 (fit to screen)
command-4 ("zoom" or fit to width).
command-5 ("panoramic or stretch/distort to fill entire screen)

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

The window displaying bookmarks is too large (suddenly happened with the new version). I can't figure out how to make the display smaller. Zooming out does not work on the bookmark menu display.

I have version 4, just downloaded, and a Mac w. OS 10.6. 7.
The bookmarks display (when I pull down "bookmarks") is much too wide. I can't figure out how to reduce the display size. The window is not persistent so I can't even get you a screen shot.
Thanks, Sara

It seems there was a change in Firefox 4 where the width of the drop-down is now determined by the length the longest bookmark name in the folder being displayed. Previous versions of Firefox would shorten a long name like that and add an ellipsis to signify the name was truncated.
Sorry, I don't know how to change that other than to advise you to edit the name of that long bookmark name and make it less verbose. Just scroll down the list of bookmarks in that wide folder until you see the culprit, then right-click that bookmark and open Properties & edit the Name line at the top of that dialog.

Can I change where on the screen the "get info" display pops up?

Can I change where on the screen the "get info" display pops up? I have dual 23" cinema displays and the Get Info box always pops up inconveniently on the far, far left. Is there a way to change the default location, more towards the middle, where it would fit better into my work flow?

treetopstudio,
I'm not sure to change the default of Get Info but what you could do is open the Inspector instead it 1 remembers it location when you close it and 2 when you click on another icon in finder changes to that. To open it instead of the get info window Option + Command + i or hold Option and click File show Inspector.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Where is the magnet located in the track pad and display lid?

where is the magnet located in the track pad and display lid?
have to see if theres a problem with the display magnet because when i close the lid, the sleep function does not work.
am using a fridge magnet to move around the track pad to see if this will activate sleep mode. im begining to wonder if its worth just going with out the auto sleep mode and maybe try n get some money of what i paid for it (it was a refurb machine)

as a guess, around the middle of trackpad, maybe half an inch moving from the lead edge towards the screen
also, give it a few seconds to activate in any one spot - it's not instant

Where is the "zoom in/zoom out" Toolbar option ? It is not listed in Customize

Where is the "zoom in/zoom out" Toolbar option ? It is not listed in Customize features.

Normally you will see three buttons along the top of the menu panel (the panel that opens when you click the "3-bar" button). They would look something like:
- | 100% | +
These are a unit, so you can right-click any part of that and Move to Toolbar. Or to drag and drop it to a specific place on the toolbar, you can first use Customize. This article has details on that: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]].
Success?
Note: the center button shows the current zoom level, but when you click it, it resets. There isn't a built-in way to type the percentage you want.
