[Cinnamon] Can't launch cinnamon-settings from menu.

Hi all,
I've just put together a fresh install with gdm and cinnamon, but I can't launch the cinnamon-settings widget from the settings button (on the bottom left)
From what I've gathered in my forum / wiki / google searches, this isn't too uncommon. However, unlike in those cases, I can launch the settings widget from the console. I can also navigate through it, except it doesn't actually *do* anything when I change settings. This is somewhat annoying, as I want to theme the desktop / set up my multi-head configuration properly / change the background.. you get the picture.
This is what I have installed:
[wfaithfull@mjolnir ~]$ pacman -Ss | grep cinnamon
community/cinnamon 2.4.8-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-control-center 2.4.2-3 [installed]
community/cinnamon-desktop 2.4.2-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-menus 2.4.1-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-screensaver 2.4.2-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-session 2.4.3-2 [installed]
community/cinnamon-settings-daemon 2.4.3-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-translations 2.4.4-1 [installed]
Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Wow, this was stupid. I hadn't used cinnamon before - I thought it looked a lot like GNOME.. and guess what, it IS GNOME. that's why the settings don't work. My problem is that GDM picked the wrong session. Jesus.

Can only launch editor once from elements 11, then have to re boot.

Can only launch editor once from Elements 11, then must re boot.

Please launch Editor once directly from its exe keeping Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys pressed. Delete the settings file when prompted.
See if this helps.
The exe can be located at - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
Thanks

Can't load Network Settings from System Preferences

For some reason I can't load Network Settings from System Preferences anymore - it just stalls with the bar showing "Loading Network" and doing nothing. This is happening in conjunction with a new inability to connect to a network printer - it won't show up on the list of printers, even when I manually enter the IP address. Something is obviously mucked up - can anyone tell me what it might be & how I can fix it? Thanks!

I was able to fix this myself by using one of the techniques suggested here for a different problem. Basically I went into Library/Preferences/System Configuration and deleted networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist & com.apple.nat.plist. All were rebuilt when I restarted and went to System Preferences/Network and I was able to load the Network Settings. This didn't fix the problem with my printer, but at least it got the settings up.

Can't launch Business rules from Smartview

Hi,
I am trying to lauch a business rules from smartview, but the "calculation option"/ "business rules" menu is unavailable in Excel.
This business rules is available in the Web HBR launcher.
How could I get access to business rules in Excel please ?
Regards

In Excel, you can't launch a Business rule in a free form, you have to use a form from Hyperion Planning for example.
It would have been nice to be able to launch a BR in Smartview, as in the web launcher.

Can't sync mail settings from iTunes to iOS7

I can't seem to sync the mail account settings from my computer to my new iphone, and have to enter them all manually. iTunes says it's done the business, but it uploads settings for a whole load of accounts I don't use (in spite of me unchecking them) and not the ones I do use.
I should note that I use imap, and have icloud syncing for email turned off.
Fortunately I'm clever and can enter them manually, but it does take away from the "use straight out of the box" ethos of Apple, especially as I have spent a fortune updating my hard and software to the latest products.
Fix it Apple.

You should begin by transferring your purchased content into your iTunes library so that the sync does not "erase" the iPad. There is no need to remove apps from the iPad before you sync.
Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left side and select - Transfer Purchases from the pop up window. Let the transfer complete, right click on the iPad name again and this time select - Backup. That will backup the iPad app data and settings (among other things) to your computer.
Make sure that you are signed into the same account on the iPad - the same Apple ID - that you are using on the computer in iTunes. On the iPad go to Settings>Store >Apple ID in order to check. If the ID's are the same - go into the Apps Tab in iTunes on the right. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected and make sure that all of the apps are selected to sync as well. You can go into all of the tabs in iTunes and select all of the content that you want to sync. When you are sure that everything is selected the way that you want - click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes to sync the content to the iPad.

Can i copy my settings from one mac to another?

Hi
Since I had a problem with my Mac's drive that suddenly failed (I am able to read ONLY), I replaced the internal HD with my emergency HD that I had backedup a few months before. I would like to know if there's a way to copy my settings from one mac to another? Is there a specific folder for all apps or do I have to find out each and every single file for each app?
I need the settings for
System (view, font, color,)
Finder (view, etc)
iTunes (that include all library, playlists, etc),
Firefox (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
Safari (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
Address Book (contacts)
Thuderbird (emails accounts, contacts, passwords, etc)
Stickies (stickies on the dock - i have info on there unsaved)
Filezilla (FTP infos)
Would appreciate.

All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5. let us know if you need more help. Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder. Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

How can I move Logic settings from one machine to another?

I have a plugin that works find on my desktop but not on my laptop.
On the laptop, Musical typing" doesn't produce sound on a track that uses that plug, and I don't get sound when I connect the laptop to my MIDI keyboard. Works fine on desktop.
I want to avoid a setting-by-setting comparison to find out the magic difference, so I'm hoping to be able to "move" settings from the desktop (where everything works) to the laptop.
I've already been able to run the "non-working" project over the wife network from the desktop machine, and verify that the "working" one doesn't run properly on the laptop.: I can't run the -application- from the desktop, and I don't see a way to reset the relevant stuff to factory defaults.
Machines: 2010=11 iMac desktop 8 GB RAM, I TB HDD and 2 TB external drive. Both running Yosemite.

Additional note
Note: the problem plugin is called "Hauptwerk", a set of pipe organ sounds. You change its settings in the app; it doesn't expose its controls in Logic.
But when properly set up, Logic will play its sounds either fro Musical Typing or an attached MIDI keyboard.

After SN install can't launch Disk Utility from external drive

I recently upgraded 10.5.9 to SN on my white Macbook. First I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old drive onto the replacement drive in an external enclosure. Then I swapped drives so that the new drive is now the internal drive and the old drive is in the enclosure. I then upgraded the OS on the internal drive via SN installer on DVD.
Now when I start from the external drive in OS X 10.5.9 and try to launch Disk Utility from this drive I get a weird error message that "Disk Utility can't be launched because it's incompatible with this architecture." The only things I can think of is that Snow Leopard installs something that globally effects all perhipherals (like new disk drivers?), or that there is something in the enclosure's USB bridge which is causing this, or that installing Snow Leopard breaks the PRAM for older versions of OS X. Tech support for the enclosure vendor tells me there is nothing in the enclosure's USB that would cause this. Any insights into what's happening appreciated.

Thanks for response. Ah, that's it. I was trying to launch it from the applications folder I had dragged to the dock, which was done while running Snow Leopard. That's why (duh!) all the application icons were slashed out. : |

Can I launch MS Access from labVIEW?

I would like to programmatically lauch MS Access and compact a database. Or perhaps I could set the table to compact on exit and exit it programmatically through labVIEW. Can I launch and exit a Microsoft application using labVIEW?

Yes, you can use ActiveX for that, to start, you should place an Automation open in the diagram, select activeX class (Access application) and from there, follow wiring property and invoke nodes to do almost anything with Access.
Hope this helps

Can't launch system preferences from apple menu

Hello,
My System Preferences opens from the dock and from Finder, but not from the Apple menu.
Here's the read out from Console:

I tried erasing com.apple.systempreferences.plist and relaunching Sys Pref from the Apple menu but without success.

HI David,
*"I tried erasing com.apple.systempreferences.plist and relaunching Sys Pref from the Apple menu but without success."*
I'm not sure what you mean by "erasing" .. did you drag that .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot?
Quit System Preferences.
/Users/YourName/Library/Caches*. Drag this file to the Trash. com.apple.preferencepanes.cache* empty the Trash and reboot your Mac. See if you can access System Preferences from your Apple Menu now.
If that didn't help, check out this thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=551561

Can't launch Photoshop items from the desktop

After recently upgrading to Tiger, I can't open an item in Photoshop after double-clicking or dragging onto the Photoshop icon in the dock. I have to go into Photoshop first to open it. What a pain!
I'm sure this is an easy fix, but obviously I don't know it....
H-E-L-P M-E.......
G4 desktop Mac OS X (10.4.8)

First off, sounds to me the Photoshop icon in the dock was made from an alias, and not the actual application. If the alias lost its way to the original file at anytime, that can break the connection on the Dock. Remove Photoshop from the Dock while it is closed and reopen the application directly, and click and hold the Photoshop icon in the Dock, and select the menu item in the Dock for Keep in Dock. That at least should fix it so dragging an item to Photoshop will launch it if Photoshop recognizes the file format.
Note, if your open/save dialog box is open in Photoshop, it won't allow you to open documents from the Finder. Only when a file is already open, or just the application is open with no user clickable dismissable dialogs are open, will files launch from the Finder.
If none of these applies, you may need to change the Open/With settings by control-mouse clicking the said document and select Open With... Navigate to the Photoshop application itself in the file browser that comes up, and check off the checkbox "Always Open With".

Launching flash panel from menu other than Window - Extensions

Hey all,
I've got 2 related questions:
is it possible to open flash panel (created with Extension Builder) from a custom menu item?
can I open multiple swf panels by one menu item? all panels would be defined in one manifest.xml in the same bundle
thanks a lot!

Yes, and yes.
You need to create a startup script to create the menu in the startup script. The script can launch as many extensions as you'd like.
The only straight-forward way I know to launch extensions from an external script, is by invoking the menu item of the panel.
FWIW, You will probably get better answers on Extension Builder / CS SDK in the CS SDK forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/cs_sdk

Can I launch a DVD from keynote?

I'm doing a presentation and as part of the presentation I need to show a video. The video is on DVD. Is there a way to launch the video directly from keynote without having to minimize keynote and open DVD player and go through all the steps to start the video?

Apparently, there's no such option. One reason is, when you launch a DVD, the Keynote presentation will have to give way to another application (DVD Player, or whatever you use to play back DVDs). So, there's no way to seamlessly integrate a DVD videostream into a Keynote slideshow.
However, you can convert the DVD into a video file using a free converter, for instance HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php). Then you just insert the video inside the Keynote slide, and set it to play back on click.
There are a few advantages to converting the DVD into a video-file: 1) you can convert only a fragment that is needed; 2) you have full control over the quality and file-size; 3) the video will be integrated into the presentation, so once it is over, you can proceed with the next slide without minimizing Keynote.
Note: when converting the DVD video with HandBrake, use MP4 as output format and Mpeg4 encoder. An easy way to check if the result is correct is to open the resulting file with QuickTime. If QT plays it back and it's OK, then the file will also be played back in Keynote
