how can I find the su - root password on my mac?

Chances are you could have also done
sudo su -
which would now make you 'root' until you exit.  You could do all your setup running as root.
Very few if anything actually needs the root password to use root privileges, and having a system where root cannot be directly logged into, is a safer system.

  • How can I find the URL for an iCal calendar in iCloud so I can make a link to it on a web page.

    I have a single iCal calendar that I want people to access through my webpage.  How can I find the URL so that they can view the calendar without having to subscribe to it.  I converted to iCloud from .Mac and I can see that changes to this calendar are not showing up.

    Mmmh.. i see... I don't know wether it is possible for people just check calendars without subscribing to them... I have been sharing some calendars in my website (maybe you can have a look at it in order to check wether it could be a possible solution for you)

  • How can I find the location of an app on my iPad 2?

    How can I find the location of an app on my iPad 2? The app comes up with a search, but that seems to be the only way to find it. I just installed the app today, but I can't figure out where it is. It has a pretty distinctive icon, and I've looked through all of my apps and even in folders (even though I don't know how it would have gotten there). I want to put it in an appropriate folder under the right subject, but I can't find it to do this. I can use the app, since I can find it through a search though. I have a lot of apps, but I looked very carefully and can't find it. Is there a way to ask my iPad to locate it for me? It's a $25 app and one I plan to use regularly, so I want it located in the folder of my choice.This problem makes we wonder if I have other "missing" apps, apps that I could  find if I happened to think to search for them, but that don't appear to be on my iPad (even though they actually  are).

    You were right about the homescreens. I had turned my iPad off for the night with less than three full homescreens of loose apps, those not in folders. When I turned the iPad on this morning to try your suggestions, I had five full pages of loose apps. They just appeared when I restarted, and there was the app I was looking for, easy to find. Last night I was deleting apps I decided I wouldn't use, organizing useful apps into folders, and making sure I had as few pages as needed by making sure the gaps made by the moved/deleted apps were closed. The missing apps didn't show up at that point; I was just left with fewer than 11 pages. The apps only showed up when I restarted this morning. There were almost three extra pages of apps that weren't there last night. I know there must be other things missing, since all of the pages are full. So I tried your suggestion in iTunes. I connected my iPad, found an app in the alphabetical list on the left, and double clicked it. This brought me to the app's homescreen (and its home folder when applicable), the place where it was located. In order to identify which page that was, I had to scroll through the screen shots of the homescreens that was below the homescreen that was showing until I found the homescreen whose number was in white. Then I could count the pages on my iPad until I got to that page. I'll have to delete more apps and organize more into folders to see what else might show up. There are just too many apps available for special education, and I'm in the process of figuring out which are the best for my needs. Thanks so much!

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • How can I find the index from a specific container?

    How can I find the index from a specific container?
    For example, if I'm traversing through textframes like so (an example, not tested):
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var story = doc.pages[0].textFrames[0].parentStory;
    for (var i=0, l=story.textContainers.length; i<l; i++) {
         var textFrame = story.textContainers[i];
         if (textFrame.constructor.name == "TextFrame") {
              var lastPara = textFrame.paragraphs.lastItem();        //How can I find the index of this in relation to the story?
    How can I find the index of "lastPara" in relation to the story rather than the current container?
    I tried:
    var newPara = story.paragraphs[lastPara.index];
    but this results in an invalid object. . .
    alert(newPara.isValid);      //returns false

    The .index property is the character offset. So lastPara will begin at story.characters[lastPara.index].

  • I had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre.  Now I can only see one?  How can I find the other one?

    My kids had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre.  Now I can only see one?  How can I find the other one?
    My daughter set up a game centre on her ipad.  My son, on his ipad used the same game centre log in.  He then set up his own game of clash of clans.  After my son set up his Clash of Clans, my daugher set up her own Clash of Clans using the same game centre log in on her ipad.  Both were using the Clash of Clans successfully on their own ipads using the same game centre log in. 
    One day my son signed into someone elses Clash of Clans, since then he is unable to go back to his Clash of Clans and can only see his sisters.
    Please let me know if this can be resolved.
    We wish to delete my daughters Clash of Clans - as she does not use it at all.  We would like to regain access to my sons. 
    My son can visit his Clash of Clans - his clan name is 'The Big Boys'  He has a shield that is blue with a yellow lightning from top right to bottom left.  His name is Fat Poo (I know ridiculous).
    If you can help us or advise us what to do we would make my son very happy
    thanks

    Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
    I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
    My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
    I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

  • How can i find the installed forms version in 6i...?

    Dear all,
    How can i find the installed forms version in 6i, the situation is we have given a solution which will work in only forms6i latest version, before implementing the same we need to check whether the forms latest version has been installed or not
    Is there any way to find out without opening the forms builder..?
    Even if we un install the forms from a machine, the forms60_path variable will remain in regedit, so we cannot go based on that and aslo i dont know whether regedit will have the version details and all.
    It would be greatly appreciated if any one can give a solution.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Thangaraj.

    you query the registry, the registry has the version number saved, but I cannot remember exactly where and I don't have 6i Installed on my machine.
    You just open the Forms Builder and click on Help/About.
    But Jan's method is the best.

    How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature? I've been using the signature feature for a while now and it works great and I'd like to use it on another computer. However, I forgot where I stored the signature. Adobe finds it with no problems (the signature pops up when I click "Place Signature"), but I have no idea where it is.
