I know the keyboard shortcut but I'd prefer to click... and yeah going to the top-left corner and click on the apple button and go down to sleep is not quick

MacBook Pro :: Create A Shortcut For Notes In Dock?

Mar 8, 2012

I love the Apple Notes App on my iPhone because it has the ability to sync seamlessly with my MacBook Pro. 

I prefer to use the Apple Notes App cause they sync seamlessly for me between devices (I don't want to use another program like Sticky Notes or such.) 

I was wondering if it is possible to create a shortcut on my Dock (or desktop or keyboard shortcut to launch?) to these notes directly so I don't have to keep opening up the Apple Mail Client (Which I do not use)? 

Info:
Notes, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

MacBook Pro :: Create A Virtual Keyboard Shortcut In Dock?

Feb 25, 2012

So I started using my MacBook Pro as a device I connect to my TV. I have an HDMI adapter, and, after setting up the display and sound, it is awesome! I even purchased a Trackpad so I can sit on my couch and navigate. The cost of the adapter and Trackpad are more than paid for with my canceling of cable. 

Anyway, my question is about the virtual keyboard in OS X. It doesn't happen often, but I sometimes have to type in a user name or password for sites. I know how to go through "System Preferences", "Universal Access", and then "Keyboard Preferences" to turn it on, but is there a faster way? 

What I really want to know is if I can create a shortcut in my dock for the virtual keyboard? 

If not, does anyone know of any third party, virtual keyboard applications that would work this way? 

Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Can't Create A Keyboard Shortcut

Feb 2, 2012

I created an Automator Service to restart my computer in Bootcamp (since I was getting very tired of having to navigate to the Startup Disk Prefence pane every time).  What I would like to do, is make this service have a global keyboard shortcut.  However, when I try to set one in the Keyboard Shorcuts preferences (i.e. double-clicking and holding down the desired keys), my computer just beeps at me. 

I thought maybe it was not allowing the specific shortcut I was trying - thinking maybe it was already in use.  So I tried many other key combinations - enough to come to the conclusion that this was not the issue. 

Info:
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Mac Pro :: Desktop To Create And Burn DVD's?

Apr 4, 2012

I recently purchased a Mac Pro desk top to create and burn DVD's.  While I have two slots to burn DVD's I was not told that Lion sysrtem doesn't supprt iDVD! In fact there is no software on the computer to burn a DVD!  Apple told me to purchase software from the APP store, which I did.  Big mistake.  I didn't get what I ordered and it does not work.  The company has not answered my emails either.  Does any one have any suggestions on how I can burn DVD's or better software?

Info:
Mac Pro, Software for burning DVD's
