Getting Rid of Desktop Analog Clock after Tiger Migration Assistant

I used the analog clock that floats on the desktop under OS10.2.8 and although it migrated fine - I no longer want it. I think it used to reside in user/library/login items but there isn't any such thing anymore and nothing happens when I try to drag it into the trash - suggestions? Thanks.

Carla,

  • Desktop is missing after using migration assistant

    I just finished installing snow leopard after wiping my hard drive. I logged onto the guest account to use migration assistant and keep the same username. After doing so, I logged back onto my account. I can no longer drag anything onto the desktop. I tried copying the desktop folder from the deleted users folder that migration assistant created, but it doesn't affect the desktop whatsoever. How can I get my desktop back?

    Wipe and install Snow Leopard again and this time use the Setup Assistant instead.
    Use a Firewire cable (800 to 400 adapter if required) and hold T boot the old Mac into Firewire Target Disk Mode and then connect the cable when the Mac reboots after you just fresh installed Snow Leopard.
    This way only one account gets transferred like you intended.

  • Is there a better way to get rid of desktop icons?

    My project has two things left: 1. get rid of desktop icons during the script 2. Ensure that windows don't open during the script.
    so for part one, I have the following:
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool " & false
    the problem is I can't change the desktop background picture when I use the above script. Without it, I can but I have icons.
    The second issue is how I set up a handler in the event that windows open during the script, blocking the desktop-image message. I want to close all windows and keep them closed during the script. Here is what I have so far, but it doesn't work:
    on exists windows of processes where the visible is true
    tell application "Finder"
    set willey to get (windows where the (exists) is true) of processes where the visible is true
    set the exists of willey to false
    end tell
    end exists
    PowerBook G4 1.67 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Even if you manage to change the static desktop picture, you're going to have to find a way to disable the dynamic desktop picture that many users will have activated. This "Change picture" feature is controlled by Dock.app, not Finder. If you quit or kill the Dock, the system automatically respawns it ad infinitum. The only way around that is to temporarily move or rename dock.app, which requires administrator privileges. I'm not particularly inclined to offer my password to prank apps, are you?
    If I were you I'd take a look at Salling Clicker. I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out: In the Salling distro there is a neat freeware FBA called "SEC Helper" that lets you post Growl-like notices to the user, without the hassle of relying on a Growl install. It has a full-screen option that you can set up just like a slideshow.
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "SEC Helper"
    "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Plants/Petals.jpg"
    show screen picture data (read (POSIX file result as alias) as picture) with full screen
    end tell</pre>

    Absolute garbage.
    This abysmal excuse "Always have been built in apps" is irrelevant. NOTHING should be tied to the OS of even
    a phone so tightly that you can't get rid of it. NONE of the apple crap apps do I use, but they use space on MY phone.
    I want the **** things gone.

  • How do I get rid of the blank space after one paragraph and before the next paragraph startsin Pages '09?  I understand that I should not have a page break mid paragraph but that is what I want.

    How do I get rid of the blank space after one paragraph and before the next paragraph startsin Pages '09?  I understand that I should not have a page break mid paragraph but that is what I want.

    Hi stephanie,
    These are unrelated questions/statements.
    Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
    Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
    You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.
    Regards,

  • Tiger migration assistant not finding old mac's OS X Panther Disc

    My new Intel G5's Tiger Migration Assistant isn't finding my old Power Mac OS X Panther Disc.
    I have several partitions on my old mac, a few for various versions of classic environment, etc., and my firmware is up to date. I just got an Intel G5 and the migration assistant is finding only the V9 partitions. It says wiating for disks to appear but the Mac OS X disc never does.
    I haven't used those V9 parts in a long time. I kinda wish I had gotten rid of them.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Henry

    Thanks for the response.
    I just ran across something that I hadn't seen before. In the forum it said that the user names need to be the same name on both machines. Mine is different because I want to use both on the same network eventually, and I'd since had a son with the same name so I needed to add an ititial...
    If they can be different, then...
    I did what you suggested, but still the only disks that appeared were the various os 9s. They are on a seperate partitioned disk, so I went in and disconnected that one. Now I start up the computer and the OS X disc is there and seems happy, but after I start the Migration Assistant now, and it leads me to the point where I have to restart the old computer after hooking up the firewire, I restart, hold the T and it starts-up and then turns off. I'm thinking that's bad.
    I have a start-up issue that I didn't think was related, but I'm no guru and this is now a start-up issue. Maybe, if you ahve the time, you couls glance at that and let me know if you think so:

  • Problem with Lion upgrade after running Migration Assistant

    I have a MacBook Pro that I purchased earlier this year.  I bought a new MacBook Air yesterday. 
    I used Migration Assistant to migrate some of my data/settings from my old MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Air.  After the migration, all of my original data was still available on the MacBook Pro (good as I wanted to keep a copy on the MacBook Pro and not all data was migrated).  The new MacBook Air received all the right data and is working well.
    I then purchased a Lion upgrade for my MacBook Pro and started the installation process.  The installation process seemed to be going fine, but the MacBook Pro eventually hung.  I let it "run" overnight hoping that it would finish the process, but the machine was still hanging a day later.  I forced the MacBook Pro to shut down using the power button.  Now, when I restart the MacBook Pro, I get the "Mac OS X Utilities" screen asking if I want to Restore from Time Machine Backup, Reinstall Mac OS X, Get Help Online, or Disk Utility.  Does this mean my data is not longer available on the MacBook Pro?  Also, I do/did have the MacBook Pro connected to a Time Machine and it had up-to-date backups at the time I ran Migration Assistant.  However, I noticed that after running Migration Assistant, the MacBook Pro was complaining that it was no longer connect to the Time Machine. 
    My instinct tells me that I should attempt to restore the MacBook Pro using the Time Machine backup, but I'm wondering if it might be able to revive the MacBook Pro without having to take that step.  Or, maybe I should select the "Reinstall Mac OS X" option first?  Any ideas?
    If I need to use the Time Machine backup, do I need to do anything special given the post Migration Assistant behavior I described above?
    Thanks for any advice!

    How can I fool Time Machine into using the original Backup Folder and just doing an incremental backup?
    You can't. after using MA on it you have to start a new backup sequence. you can change computer name in Sharing preferences to anything you like but it won't affect TM backups.

  • Lost list of my wifi networks after using migration assistant / time machine

    After using migration assistant / time machine to set up my new Mac I now miss the list of stored preferred Wlan/WiFi networks. So the passwords of wireless networks I. Used in the past are all gone.
    Why is time machine not putting those on my new Mac as it does with many other settings?
    How can I manually grab this list from my old Mac and out it on the new machine?
    Will I find that time machine missed some other lists and settings as well?
    Thanks for help.

    I've been working through this procedure this week. It's pretty good, and when it works it appears to work quite well, but there's still some bumps in the road:
    (1) Once you've migrated, Time Machine itself seems to be a little confused and future backups may fail. You might have to start again by changing to a new Time Machine disk on your new laptop. You may lose your older backups, it's not yet clear to me.
    (2) You can't restore from a previous backup during the migration, only the most recent one. (You can restore from an older backup using tools on the install CD if you need to.) I suspect this won't be an issue for you.
    (3) Migration Assistant once you've logged in a Migration Assistant while you're starting up a new machine seem to work slightly differently. For example, sometimes the newest copy of the applications in your Applications folder (say, iMovie) is preserved, sometimes it makes an exact restore of the old Applications folder even if it's an older version of the application.
    Overall it's been a pretty good experience, and what you want to do does work, but be prepared for the possibility of some issues. I tried this back in 10.5.0 a few months ago and had a lot of problems, things seem better now under 10.5.2.

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

    I had to reinstall BT NetProtect Plus. Now it puts a desktop shortcut (on the desktop) each time PC boots up, even if it has been previously deleted.
    I cannot find a setting in the product to remove the icon, and a browse through the registry did not show any obvious setting to stop it being added.
    Any one know of a way of getting rid of this?
    Also... BT why do you insist on adding this, especially as it in the system tray.

    McAfee rolled out an update a while back, you need the latest version installed, have a read - https://community.mcafee.com/docs/DOC-3361
    This should sort out the BTNP version - open BTNP, navigate to update and select it.
    Then after it's updated, simply try deleting the icon again.
    Can't really give any more help as I've stopped using BTNP

  • How can I get rid of jaxws-engine threads after processing asyncHandler?

    Hi,
    this question evolved from forum thread
    [t-5404241]
    In the current JAX-WS 2.1 (from Netbeans 6.7.1) implementation I see the following behaviour / bug:
    If you use the async Jax-WS API (AsyncHandler and Future) to send a SOAP request, there will be a thread named jaxws-engine-xx-thread and one unnamed
    thread generated by Jax-WS. Both threads stay running for 60 seconds after the soap response is processed.
    This leads to high memory consumption, if requests are made often.
    Is there a way to stop these threads?
