Effects of Reset
When you reset the device, either soft or hard, does it restore default ringtones in place of customized ones assigned to different contacts?
Solved!
Go to Solution.
No.
A hard (battery pull) reset or a soft (keyboard reset) affects no settings or preferences on the BlackBerry device.
It is simply nothing more than the same as rebooting your PC.

Ipod touch 4th gen was accidentally disconnected from laptop during update process. Now permanent screen pic is of the power cord w/ an arrow pointing up to itunes symbol. Holding the ctr & power buttons together for 6-10 sec causes apple pic to briefly appear and power cord/itunes pic reappears. Powering off and on has same effect. Attempting to reset.
It sounds like the iPod touch is in Recovery Mode, Try to restore it from iTunes again.
If you run into an error when restoring the iPhone again, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages -
New Bug? Sliding effect canot reset "display" property correctly
Hello there.
First I want to say I love the effect, everything is dropdead
perfect, well, execept this one little bug.
What is happening is that if you use the slider effect on
something with it's display="none" then spry cannot reset it to
none again.
Here is the code:
<input type="button" onclick="slide_hidden2.start();"
value="Slide Example" />
<div class="animationContainer hideInitially"
id="example5">
<div>
Example - Slide from 0% to 100% in 2 seconds
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed
diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna
aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et
justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no
sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var slide_hidden2 = new Spry.Effect.Slide('example5',
{duration: 2000, from: '0%', to: '100%', toggle: true,
scaleContent:true});
</script>
And here is the CSS setup:
.hideInitially{
display: none;
.animationContainer{
height: 200px;
width: 400px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
border: medium double rgb(250,0,255);
}The border is what is holding it up it looks like. Maybe
apply a style to the div inside like this, seems to work. The
medium border assigned to the containing element is not taken into
account when the div collapses to 0% I think:
<style type="text/css">
@charset "UTF-8";
.hideInitially{
display: none;
.animationContainer{
width: 400px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
.border {border: medium double rgb(250,0,255);
height: 200px;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="sandbox.html" runat="server">
<input type="button" onClick="slide_hidden2.start();"
value="Slide Example" />
<div class="animationContainer hideInitially"
id="example5">
<div class="border">
Example - Slide from 0% to 100% in 2 seconds

When I go through my video effects and preview them I get white lines, white fragments (blocky), and or the whole screen turns white. When I click on the first effect it works fine and I can adjust the settings but when I go to the next one, thats when video turns bad. I have to click out of video effects to reset the image. This problem just started for me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem.
Also, I recently installed FCE 4. Would this have anything to do with it. Since installing FCE 4 my rendering time has slowed way down in iMovie 06.
Thanks.T -
I get a similar problem when I preview effects. I just assumed this was some kind of result of max-ing out on processing the preview, so I usually just click onto some other effect outside of the Quartz composer and then click back in and it's fine. I wouldn't worry about it, unless what I suggest won't work. I found this when I was looking to find out why adding video effects takes so long to process. It looks like video is just processor-intensive, any way you look at it.
good luck..... -
I am having an issue figuring out custom Effects that are based on playing a SWF. When I try to play the custom effect on my Effect subclass, I get a message in the console that says we loaded the SWF but it does not in fact play on the UIComponent. Could somebody take a quick peek at my code and let me know what they think?

You guessed right Shachar. I'm using the param as unique identifier.
Now I'm saving the data in SEQUENCE_SETUP and retrieving it when needed from AEGP using AEGP_EffectCallGeneric().
shachar carmi wrote:
one more thing you could try (which could prove tricky) is to set a different default for that slider during the param_setup call.that would cause each instance of your effect to reset that param to a different value.
but that's all in theory.
i'm not even sure you get more than one param_setup call per session.
just throwing some ideas out there.
I had tried this before but Param setup is called only once when the effect is applied for the very first time.
But thanks a lot Shachar, your first idea works fine. -
Hi
I have one radio button with one static value and I can not remove the check anymore if once I click. How can I reset the radio button?
Thanks and regards,
Ruii just typed "reset radio button" into google. i then clicked the first link that came up. that page said...
<quote>
Unlike Check Boxes, it isn't easy to unset a Radio Button once it has been set. Using:
document.formName.radioName[indexNumber].checked = false;
does not work. The only way to unset a Radio Button is to reset the form:
document.formName.reset();
Unfortunately this has the effect of resetting everything on the form.
</quote>
...so i guess a workaround to resetting those radiog groups would be to provide some link/button to branch back to the same page while resetting your radiogroup and retaining the other values entered.
hope this helps,

PowerBook G4 boots to Open Firmware without keyboard access
Summary:
Let me provide a little backstory.
According to the [DARPA Visitor Guidelines|http://www.darpa.mil/body/visitor_guidelines.html] wireless network technology is prohibited from DARPA facilities. Laptops with a wireless card are required to be "disabled at the BIOS level".
Before an upcoming visit to DARPA I was told that I would need to make sure my laptop wireless card was disabled. I mentioned that Macs don't have BIOS but I'd look into doing it in Open Firmware. The response from DARPA was that no one has ever successfully brought an Apple laptop into the facility, and that I should procure a PC laptop for my visit. Ah, a challenge!
I booted into Open Firmware (⌘⌥OF), located the wireless card in the device tree, and removed two properties I figured the driver would be searching for: the vendor ID, and the product ID. I exited Open Firmware and continued to boot into Mac OS X v10.5.2.
Sure enough the System Profiler showed that no wireless card was installed. Success! Now I just need to make the device tree modifications persist between reboots.
It seemed the solution was to place the Open Firmware commands I issued to disable the card into nvramrc. So I set nvramrc to contain the same commands, and set use-nvramrc? to be true. I rebooted the machine but the card was still detected.
A bit [more research|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/805-4436/6j4719c8v?a=view] revealed that the device tree is not created by Open Firmware until after the nvramrc is executed. The solution is to build the device tree in the nvramrc and tell Open Firmware not to rebuild it. The documentation states that this is accomplished with the probe-all, install-console, and banner Forth commands. I added those commands to my nvramrc and rebooted. The contents of nvramrc:
probe-all install-console banner
dev wireless
" device-id" delete-property
" vendor-id" delete-property
The outcome... well technically the laptop has wireless disabled. Almost everything is disabled. The machine now boots directly into Open Firmware with a few ominous bits of output and no response from the keyboard.
no active package
Apple PowerBook5,6 6.4.9.1f1 BootROM built on 01/21/05 at 10:51:16
Copyright 1994-2005 Apple Computer, Inc.
All Rights Reserved.
Welcome to Open Firmware, the system time and date is 05/06/2008 10:00:00
Command security mode
To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return.
To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return.
ok
0 > _
The first sign that something has gone wrong is no active package. The second message just throws another wrench into the works: Command security mode. Yes, the Open Firmware password was enabled. In retrospect this was a bad thing to have set when mucking about in OF. I knew of the RAM change trick (see below) so this was not an issue at the time.
Question:
So the question is: What actions do I need to take to return the laptop to a useable state. That is, booting into Mac OS X.
*Attempted solutions:*
+1. Reset nvram+
The first and most obvious solution is to reset nvram using the snag key combination ⌘⌥PR. Unfortunately do to the firmware password being set, [all snag keys have been disabled|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352]. This means no target disk mode (⌘T), boot from CD (⌘C), boot from network (⌘N), etc... In any case an attempt at resetting nvram yields an additional message being appended to the Open Firmware screen:
Release keys to continue!_
+2. Reset nvram after changing amount RAM in system+
Luckily there is a work-around to firmware password protection. Changing the amount of RAM installed in the machine should allow the nvram zap snag to function. I removed one of the two 512MB DIMMS in the laptop and started up while holding down ⌘⌥PR. This results in the same message as above:
Release keys to continue!_
Not so lucky.
+3. Reset the Power Management Unit+
[Resetting the Power Management (PMU)|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449] is accomplished by removing the battery and disconnecting the power cord, and then holding down the power button for about 5 seconds. This had no effect besides resetting the system clock to 01/01/1904 00:00:41.
Getting more desperate...
+4. Search logic board for CUDA+
I [opened the machine|http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G4-Al-15-Inch-1-5-1-67-BT-2-0 -LR/64] to search for a hidden [CUDA button|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760]. As expected, a CUDA button does not exist on this model and the PMU reset is accomplished as noted in attempted solution 3.
+5. Remove internal battery+
Well the laptop is open now, so I tried removing the internal memory backup battery and revisited each of the above solutions. No success.
+6. Remove hard drive+
Again, since the laptop was open, why not remove the hard drive and see what happens. The machine wasn't even making it to the boot-loader hand-off so I didn't expect this to produce any results. No results produced.
Thinking crazy thoughts...
+7. Attempt a firmware update+
Firmware updates have a side effect of resetting the nvram. Also firmware updates are initiated very early in the startup process by holding down the power button until a tone is heard and the power light flashes. My thought was that I would grab a previous firmware update for this laptop and force it to be reapplied. Unfortunately there have been no updates to this model's firmware.
+8. Write my own firmware update script+
While investigating solution #7 I realized that the file BootROMFirmware installed by the firmware updaters for G5s and G4s machines are just Forth programs with a binary payload attached to the end. I learned [Forth|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth(programminglanguage)]. The BootROMFirmware files are really cool, since they do everything from drawing the progress bar during the update, uncompressing and check-summing the binary payload, and generally making sure you don't brick your machine. In any case it seem entirely doable to write my own program in Forth and undo the evil I did before. I really only need to flip one bit. I needed the use-nvramrc? variable set to false. So I created this very simple Forth program:
\ debrickifier
setenv use-nvramrc? false
reset-all
The original firmware file had additional attributes set, a creator and file type of fw99. So I set those two attributes on my file as well. I ran strings on the firmware installer program and guessed that it was copying the file to /System/Library/CoreServices. So this is where I placed my Forth file. Reinstalled the drive and rebooted the laptop while holding down the power key to initiate a firmware install. No dice.
Its hard to tell why this is failing. The file may in the wrong place, have the wrong permissions. From what I've reviewed in the original files, the setenv and reset-all words should be available. Maybe the Firmware Update utilities are setting some other magic in nvram before the reboot.
I think I've covered all the different major solutions that I've attempted. Their might be a few more that I've forgotten to mention (like using an external USB keyboard). I still think that getting some Forth to execute via the firmware update mechanism could use some more exploration. My current worst case is that I'll replace the logic board, although I'd hate to do that when I know there are only a few bad bits flipped in a CMOS somewhere.
I'm hoping to snag the attention of the resident hardware/firmware guru that can shed some light upon the firmware update process, but any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
MarkFor your next DARPA visit, another option might be to buy the cheapest possible third-party wireless card — it doesn't even need to work. Insert it into your Powerbook's CardBus slot before visiting DARPA, and turn Airport off in System Prefs. On arrival at DARPA, remove the card from the Powerbook and hand it to the security guard. Retrieve it from the guard as you leave, and turn Airport back on again when you get home or back to your office. Unable to comply with the letter of the dunderheaded regulation because you have no BIOS, you will be complying with the spirit of it instead, and no one will be the wiser.

Need to make app appear on iPhone screen; previously, wasn't enough pages, but now have created folders. Still app won't show up unless I search for it.
Thanks Tom, that's very helpful (and quick too).
I was using Custom text so yes, that explains it.
Ah wait, I can make the text primary storyline just for applying the transition and then go back to where my other clips are primary storyline? That would solve the issue (and some others, too)! Great!
I will play around with the copy/paste.
Oh, one more thing. This seemed to be a bug, a very frustrating one .
I made my item in several projects before glueing the 5 parts together. The first two I could just do by copying and pasting from another project. However, the 3rd copy-paste just wouldn't work. FC continued to paste the former edit. Even when I quit FC and restarted. Even when I deliberately emptied the clipboard by pasting some line of text from another program. Even when I turned the part of the project that I wanted to transfer into a compound clip. In the end I solved it by exporting the project and importing it as a file into the Events so that I could paste it, and this worked. (2nd time round because the first time all my text effects had resetted).
The next copy-paste, part 5 of the video, worked fine again. I've no idea why this happened, but it is probably too specific.
Anyway, thanks again Tom, greatly appreciated. -
Google Images not working in Safari on Iphone
Since a while back the "images"-tab in google does'nt work on the iPhone in any of the browsers I've tried. I've searched the net to find others with the same problem but with little luck. Here's a description of the problem.
For example I search for "dog" in google in the Safari browser, this works just fine.
Then I press the "images"-tab and get a thumbnail view with pictures of dogs, of course.
But this is where it all goes wrong, when touching one of the images I get an enlarged view of an image next to it. The "back to the results" and "full image" buttons dim out (without being touchable) and swiping does not work. I don't know what has caused this to stop working properly, I know its not the new iOS version though.
HERE is a youtube video I prepared that explains the problem.
First, is there anyone else out there with this problem?
Second, this is what I've tried:
- Other iPhone web browser applications, for example "Mercury", "Opera Mini", "Skyfire" and none of them works except "Dolphin" (good work).
- Resetting any of the settings in the phone, clearing cache and such have no effect.
- Resetting the iPhone totally, factory settings. No effect.
- Using someone elses iPhone. I've tried on an iPhone 4 and iPhone 3S, same problems (with iOS 5.01).
- Trying out all of the settings in google, no change.
- Setting the google view to "classic" instead of "mobile" works of course, but that makes the site look just like on a PC or Mac and is not what I'm after.
Third, this problem seems to just affect Swedish users from what I can tell. There would be thousands of posts about this if everyone in the world was affected by it, but so far I've seen no posts on this matter. But after searching a while I found a swedish forum site on the subject. Link (in swedish). Also, when visiting google from Sweden some form of script automatically changes the url from .com to .se. I don't know if this has something to do with it?
Anyone know what causes this problem and how It might be resolved?
Best Regard
Stefan, SwedenHi Stefan,
First; this must be the most thorough error discription I have ever seen. Impressive.
Second; yep for a couple of weeks now I've been having exactly the same problems as you describe. One other thing that I've noticed, is that for me, the 'word suggestion drop down list' or whatever it's name is, no longer works. More specificly:
I open Safari in my iPhone, surf to Google image search and type for example "dog" in the search field. Below the field, I now get a list of suggested words or phrases that I think is based on the most popular searches. For me, the first suggestion in this list is "dogo argentino" (a specific and popular breed of dogs). When I tap on the words "dogo argentino", the search field normally would switch input from "dog" to "dogo argentino" AND starts the image search automatically. However, since the problem showed up, when I tap on "dogo argentino" the input field is not affected (still reads "dog") and I would have to type "dogo argentino" manually and hit "search".
I use a Swedish iPhone 4S (5.0.1 (9A406)) in the Telenor network. I also have tested the same possible solutions that you describe in your post, but with no luck.
All the best,
Ingo -
Mid-2007 Mac mini and HDMI issues
I have a Mid-2007 Mac Mini with OS X 10.7.3, that, most of the time, will work fine with a DVI->HDMI cable and either of 2 HDMI ports on the TV. The Mini recognizes the display correctly (a Vizio E371VL). The display's native res. is 1080p at 60hz, and the Mini is set to that and looks great. I can switch to lower resolutions and even restart the mini and have the Vizio look and behave correctly.
However, I have an Apple TV (current generation - black brick) hooked up to the other HDMI port on the Vizio. It also looks and acts great.
The problem is when I switch between the inputs on the TV. If I go to the Apple TV (which will be working fine) and then back to the other HDMI input, the Mac mini shows black. The TV does not say "no signal" or indicate any problem. No amount of zapping PRAM, ressetting the SMC or basic restarting helps. In fact, the TV still registers a signal at 1080p. Using Apple Remote Desktop from another Mac (a 2006 Macbook Pro with DVI) shows the Mini is still functioning and still correctly displays the Vizio model and 1080p @ 60hz resolution.
The kicker here is that I can physically disconnect the DVI/HDMI cable from the Mac mini and connect it to the Macbook Pro. The video from the Macbook will pop up immediately. I can switch between the Macbook and Apple TV all day long, switch resolutions, etc. No problem.
Even more bizarre is that this has the effect of "resetting" the Mac mini. If I plug the DVI connector back into the Mini, its video will pop back up. It will work fine as above until the HDMI input is changed again.
Vizio tech support acted as if they'd never heard of Apple, Inc. Useless.
Super frustrating problem.Opperman,
I went with my gut and got an LG 47LM4600 TV with VGA input in addition to HDMI (seems there are not many--if any--TVs sold with DVI inputs anymore). The 2007 Mac mini is plugged in using my old DVI cable with VGA adaptor. I tested it using the DVI cable with HDMI adaptor, and there was no sound.
I can confirm the same condition that you originally described when I try to switch to the Mac mini on the PC input. The screen is black except for a color bar that flashes on briefly every 2-3 seconds at the bottom of the screen. No amount of switching from one input to the other will make the display come back. The only way I've found to fix it is to unplug the cable from either the TV or the computer and plug it back in.
The annoyance with this is ameliorated by the fact that we'll be using a new Apple TV to watch Netflix from now on, instead of using a Web browser on the mini. Will only have to worry about it when watching DVDs.
Cheers.

Long time to load and cannot change homepage
I live in France and my ISP is Orange. I have a LIVEBOX 2 and have used Orange for the last year and a half.
Up until a few days ago, Forefox only took about 10 seconds to load to my homepage which was www.google.co.uk
A few days ago, Firefox took about one minute to load and the homepage has changed to the French Orange homepage/portal.
If I try to reset the homepage back to Google, it always defaults back to the Orange portal on every start up.
I have tried downloading the Browser Protect 1.1.3 add-on but this had no effect either. I have also re-started Firefox with add-ons disabled, and again, this had no effect.The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Firefox 4,5,6 can no longer load my company's website.
This has happened on a few different computers. When I try to go to my company's website, I get stuck in an endless "Connecting to..." "Waiting for..." loop that seems to reset every second or so. Firefox 3.x, Chrome, and IE have no problems loading the website. I've tried changing proxy settings, to no effect.
Try resetting Firefox to it's default settings.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Resetting%20preferences
If that doesn't work, it's possible that your company web site contains code that isn't compatible with Firefox. As you say, other browsers do not have an issue.
Try a browser compatibility testing web site, such as the one below (I have not used this site, but there should be others available)

Receiving error message when printing on a Mac from Reader 10.0.2
I have tried printing several pdf files and received this error message: "Error: pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number 13" from an HP Officejet Pro 8500. The problem started yesterday under Reader version 9.4.2, to which I upgraded a few days ago; I further upgraded today to version 10.0.2 to see if that would help. The printer is fine and the documents all print OK when using Apple Preview and Safari. There are no print restrictions on the documents. Any ideas?
Thanks for the reply, but there was no effect from "Reset printing system..." in System Preferences->Print & Fax. In addition, I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software from disc - also, no effect. I've narrowed the problem down a bit by sucessfully printing to the same printer from Reader installed on another computer on my wireless network, so it does appear not to be a Reader issue. Off now to the HP website, and sorry if I created any unintended distraction to Adobe Forum members.

Mac Pro Won't Boot from any HDD
My system:
2008 8-core Mac Pro running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
4 HDDs installed, 2 of them are a striped RAID 0 that is the bootup volume, a couble of external hard drives (1 of them a bootable clone), a DVI display
backed up with Time Machine; thanks for the concern.
Problem:
I came home one day, and my computer was acting funny. It was fine earlier in the day. Time Machine had failed a backup, an AFP mount had unmounted with an error, Dropbox was trying to sync but couldn't because of bad access permissions for a file, and Terminal wouldn't open, giving me a message about an invalid shell. I restarted, and it failed to restart, so I turned it off. I thought it was a corrupt filesystem (and striping is unstable, so it would make sense), but no, no other bootable disks worked.
Boot chime plays, grey screen comes up with Apple logo, wheel spins forever.
ATI graphics card fan runs pretty fast after a minute or so.
Light is solid, not blinking to indicate a RAM problem.
What I've tried:
Googled the problem. Got results about MacBook Pros. Did "-MacBook" in the search. Got similar questions but no solutions for my Mac.
Tried booting from an install DVD and the clone. Same thing happened.
Reset the PRAM (twice). No effect.
Reset the SMC (twice). No effect.
Unplugged the monitor. Graphics card fan wasn't loud, but the computer still wouldn't boot.
Unplugged all USB and FireWire devices. No effect.
Left the computer unplugged for an hour, which also resets the SMC. Who knows, this sometimes works! It didn't.
Any ideas?Booting in Safe Mode did not help, but it did show a grey circle with a cross through it instead of an Apple logo like before.
I remembered that there's an Apple Hardware Test (a bit hard to figure out how to do on your specific machine ), and I booted into it. Before I even ran the test, it told me that there is an error. The error message was just the name of one of my RAM slots. So... a piece of RAM might be dead. I ran the extended test, and it was halfway through after 30 minutes, but I stopped it because I don't have enough time. I have to continue this tomorrow.
As for the GPU, its fans might just be running because the system runs them at a high level by default when it's in certain states. I know older Macs did this in Target Disk Mode with every fan, and the GPU fan was running during the AHT too. At least I hope this is the case. Right now, it seems beyond a hard drive problem. Maybe booting from a DVD works because it only uses 1 RAM slot or something. I'd much rather have a piece of inexpensive RAM be dead than my GPU, and besides, I've kinda wanted to upgrade the RAM anyway. -
How to discard the location of forms that are invalid
Hi I am facing a problem with the form location for different user profiles.The defect may be that if an out of bounds location is what is stored in a users profile it will use that profile location even if it is invalid. A check needs to be made to insure that the location in the user profile is valid for the position and to ignore it if it is not.Here are 2 files give 1. that sets User profile and 2. that saves user profile.
probably should check the validity when the profile is read from the server and discard bad entries there.
*1.Here is the code that sets the users profile.*
public class SetUserProfile extends UIJFrame
private JComboBox _profileNameCmb = new JComboBox();
private UserProfile _userProfile;
final String OK_BTN_NAME = "Ok";
final String CANCEL_BTN_NAME = "Cancel";
* Constructor for the SetUserProfile object
*@param args The command line arguments
public SetUserProfile(String[] args)
// Invoke base class constructor to create frame, menu and toolbar
super(args,
"Set User Profile",
UIJFrame.FORM_SET_USER_PROFILE,
true,
false,
UIJFrame.MENU_BASIC,
UIJFrame.TOOL_BASIC);
try
// Get the user profile instance
_userProfile = UserProfile.instance();
// Initialize the displayable components on the form.
initialize();
* This method sets the profileNames attribute of the SetUserProfile object
*@param profileNames The new profileNames value
private void setProfileNames(final String[] profileNames)
_profileNameCmb.setModel( new DefaultComboBoxModel( profileNames ) );
// setting the model has the side effect of resetting the
// picklist model to null on the model property change
_profileNameCmb.setSelectedItem(
( profileNames == null ||profileNames.length == 0 )
? null : _userProfile.getActiveProfileName());
* This method sets the new profile name with the user profile instance.
*@param e Description of the Parameter
public void onOk()
// Clear the feedback message, if any.
getFeedbackBar().setInformationMessage( "" );
String userId = null;
try
// Get the user of record.
userId = getClientManager().getUserOfRecord();
// Set the new profile with the UserProfile instance.
UserProfile.instance().setActiveProfileName(
(String)_profileNameCmb.getSelectedItem(),
userId,
null );
// Close the form.
onCancel();
*2.There is an other file that saves the user profile.The related code is:*
void onOk(ActionEvent e)
try
if(_userProfile.saveCurrentWorkspaceAs(
(String) _profileNameCmb.getSelectedItem(),
this)) {
onClose();
