Timing individual slides in Keynote


I have a self-playing slideshow in Keynote, with 20 second transitions (each slide is shown for 20 seconds).


The last slide plays a movie, which is longer than 20 seconds. How can I set the transition to longer than 20 seconds for the last slide only?





Which version of Mac OS X was the first to support RTL (right-to-left) languages?


Apple – Press Info – Mac OS X Hits Stores This Weekend (2001) listed seven languages for 10.0. From an archived Apple knowledge base article Mac OS X 10.6: Changing the direction of text I know that Snow Leopard included support for right-to-left and bidirectional text. From the knowledge base:



… When using certain right-to-left writing systems such as Arabic, Hebrew, Yiddish, Persian, Pashto, and Urdu, you may need to quote words from left-to-right writing systems, such as English. When right-to-left text is mixed with left-to-right text, it is called bidirectional text. …



However:



  • I can't tell which version of the operating system introduced support for RTL.


Apple - Mac OS X Snow Leopard - Technical specifications doesn't list Arabic or Hebrew amongst the languages, so (by implication) whilst operating system localisations at that time did not include those languages, the OS did support RTL.




I tried searching domains such as mellel.com, redlers.com and www.apple.com/pr – e.g. http://ift.tt/1BIbITE – couldn't find an answer.


If it helps: http://ift.tt/18OKFKN states that development of Mellel began in 2002 (and I recall Mellel being renowned for RTL support).





WindowServer[250]: _CGXGLDisplayContextForDisplayDevice: No matching context for device (0x7fcfcaf18220) - disabling OpenGL


I'm getting vast amounts of these messages in my Console:



13/03/2015 16:02:20.924 WindowServer[250]: _CGXGLDisplayContextForDisplayDevice: No matching context for device (0x7fcfcaf18220) - disabling OpenGL


and WindowServer is consistently at around 16%. I'm using DisplayLink. Is there anything I can do about it?





How can I add an Old English dictionary to Dictionary?


Is there a way to add an Old English dictionary to the Dictionary app? I would like to three-finger-tap a word that's Old English and have it translate it for me.


For pure adventure I want to read Beowulf in its original Old English form. I was all excited to use Dictionary to help me through each word, and was kinda surprised when it didn't know practically any word in it at all.


If I open Dictionary and search a word (such as HWÆT), it does actually return some related words because their origin is the Old English word.


Any ideas?





Cellular traffic noise on iPhone


On an iPhone 4, running iOS 6.1.3, when I'm listening music, I regularly hear noises related to cellular phone network. For example I hear cellular traffic noise:



  • when I was out of reach of cellular network and entering a new phone cell,

  • just before receiving a new SMS,

  • just before receiving a phone call.


I would like to get rid of these "cellular traffic noises".




Does anyone else hear these "cellular traffic noises"?


Do they occur on more recent versions of iOS?


Are these "cellular traffic noises" interference noises and hence fully hardware related?


Do the new models of iPhone (5 or 6) avoid these interferences?





cancelled pdf transfer from yosemite mac to iOS device via airdrop


I can send pictures from my mac to my iOS devices via airdrop. But when I try to send a pdf, it is not working. After a while I get a message on the iOS device saying that the transfer has been canceled. On the mac, I get a message saying that the iOS device has refused transfer. Is it normal? Is there a way to send my documents via airdrop (i know I can use dropbox but sometimes I do not have access to internet)?
