Permission Problem with Group Drop Box in Dock

I THOUGHT I created write-only drop boxes for my students on their docks. They're able to drop their documents into it correctly, however, they can also open the group folder and see each others' folders by double clicking on it. I thought I had locked this down by setting the student permission to read-only in Sharing. How do I make the drop box write-only? I'm using OS X.3.9 Server.
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Having the exact same problem here with MAC NFS server running Tiger. Mac clients work fine, but same user on a Linux NFS client ignores group permissions.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Result set problem with GROUP BY

hi there, this should be the simplest of queries but.........
when run, the list size is 13, this is the number of letting units in the table. it appears not to be grouping by the property id.if it was doing this there should only be 8 rows. having said this, the while loop should output the count of each row, it does this 8 times with the correct counts. it then crashes with a invalid curser error. it appears the query is workig correctly but the resultset thinks its got 13 rows when it only has 8.
accessing ms access db
using jdbc:odbc
heres the code
searchResults = stmt.executeQuery(
"SELECT Count(*) AS FreeUnits " +
"FROM letting_units " +
"GROUP BY letting_units.property_id");
searchResults.last();
listSize = searchResults.getRow();
searchResults.beforeFirst();
System.out.println(listSize);
while (searchResults.next())
System.out.println(searchResults.getString(1));
hope someone can help me
cheers
andy

It's not the problem with GROUP BY. You should use scrollable result set to move in both directions (forward and backward).
In your code
searchResults.beforeFirst(); line may return false. So you will get the searchResults.next() false. Once you move forward in non-scrollable cursor cannot come back. So when you create the statement object use TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE or TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE constants provided in the ResultSet.

Problem with Group policies and Administrator count

I have one problem with Group policies and Admnistrator count.
Win XP, Client 4.91, Client Zen 4
I use DLU for users.
the Group policies are well applied and i keep them after logout for

But my problem is, after logout, the Administrator count becomes this

Strange problem with drag&drop!!

hello i hope u can help me.
i have a strange problem but not like the other users with drag&drop in Leopard..
mine is not exactly like this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1198982&tstart=3538
i can hold left click and move files but when i need to "drop" them at the .app's window the app rejects the file back! (some of the applications not all!)
what i mean in examples is:
i cannot drag&drop anything in the VLC's player window but i can inside the vlc's "controller" window
i cannot drag&drop a picture in preview
i cannot drag&drop any file in photoshop's new file/empty canvas
i cannot drag&drop a mp3 file in itunes but i can drag&drop a full album folder(only in playlist,not in the player window)!
and i can describe more to show u that it's not about vlc or preview or PS problem, but finder's/leopard problem.
(i thought in the 1st, that it's vlc's problem and i downloaded a lot of versions!)
all the other programs works well, for example i can drag&drop a video to final cut or motion
i can do the same in iMovie (at the space it says"drag&drop media here etc)
and of course i can drag&drop files to desctop,hard disks etc.
i can copy/paste text etc (i can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste text)
i am trying to give you an idea, suggest me what else should i try in order to focus where exactly the problem is!
i hope u give me a solution cause drag&drop is usefull!
thank you
in order to help u, i will describe what i tried so far:
1)repair permissions
2)trash com.apple.finder
3)terminal solution like this: (didn't worked)
sudo su -
cd /
rmdir tmp +*(rmdir: tmp: No such file or directory)*+
ln -s tmp /private/tmp

hello and thanks for your reply
but why you quote only the part of VLC?
One thing at a time. Occam's razor.
and why u believe this is normal?
i am sure that VLC can drag & drop subtitles or the movie in the player window.
and when i say sure, i mean 100%
I disagree. I have tried this since reading your post, on all my VLC versions. It does not work.
You can, however drop a movie onto the VLC icon in the dock. That works fine.
RealPlayer accepts a file dropped on it. I just checked it.
Not all apps accept a file on their output window. Usually only the input window.
i started my windows bootcamp partition before and i saw this works.
and i remember trying VLC in tiger a lot of years before, this was ok.
and yes of course it would be also normal to drop a picture in the photoshop canvas.
so what is not normal here is my problem, if u can help i'm happy if you cannot please don't confuse it more
(sorry if i sound "unclear", english is not my 1st languange)
I will check VLC next time I run Tiger and let you know.

Recent Problem with Grouping in P6

Recently I am having a problem with the grouping activities option in P6, 8.2. While I used to be able to group with no problem, now when I try to perform a customized grouping, I am not able to get to the grouping bands. It seems like this is a P6 software bug, not a database bug. Has anyone seen this problem before and if so, how did you fix it?

Hi,
This is a known issue. As a workaround you just need to expand the window. For a solution, please refer to:
Fields Are Cut Off Or Missing In P6 Dialog Boxes With Incorrect DPI (Doc ID 897035.1)

Problems with 10.8.2 and Dock Settings

I just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (directly from Lion) and am now having problems with my dock hiding automatically despite the settings being configured correctly so that it doesn't automatically hide.
It seems to have something to do with launching/using Safari.
Using a 2009 Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo processor. 4GB of RAM.
Anyone know anything?

I should note that I can go back into settings and check then uncheck the "automatically hide" box and it shows up as normal...but then if I relaunch Safari, it hides again.
Bizarre.

Permission problems with external hard drive

Hello there, I'm writting you from Paris but my french is just not good enough to really explain my problem. I'm no computer expert so i might not use the right name for stuff but i will try to be as clear as possible.
I have a macbook pro 13" from early 2012 and I'm currently running Mountain lion.
At home i use an internet modem that has an internal hard drive of 250gb. and it also gives you the possibility to conect other usb hard drives on it so you can access them through wifi.
I currently have to usb hd of 1tb each, one i use it for Time Machine and so far it works fine and i haven't had a problem with it, all back ups have been done ok. In the other one i have all my films and tv shows and stuff like that and it is in this one that i have the problem. In certen files and folders i'm not able to do anything with them, i tried to rename them but it says i don't have the permission to do it, i tried to delet another one and it said pretty much the same thing, some other time i tried to move the file to a diferent folder it it would ask me for my password and after type it and press enter it would just not move them, no error messager or anything it just didn't do it. Most of the times i have a messager saying stuff about permission or things like i can't read the file. The thing i can't understand is that as soon as i plug the HD on my mac it works fine i can rename and change stuff, I noticed that some of the files and folders have a little lock on the corner, but they aren't the ones i tried to move or rename before and i tried already unlocking all of them but eventhough i manage to unlock them when i plug the HD back to the modem it keeps the same, can't rename or move, not even to the trash.
Can anyone help me out here? I'll be really thankful
Cheers!

Problem with Grouping in Interactive Forms by Adobe

Hey Guys!
I have a problem using the group function for a table in Interactive Forms by Adobe and I have not found a solution yet, so I hope anybody can help me.
I've created the table in the LiveCycle Designer using subforms and I want to use the group function for a specific field of my table. Now the problem is that the entries of the table are not shown grouped for the same values of my specific field but there is still one row for each entry. How do I have to edit binding, flow etc. for the subforms of a group?
I hope anybody can help me or provide me a better solution.
Thanks in advance.
Martin

Hi Otto,
thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry the 'grouping function' I've announced is called 'control levels' in English I can set this function for a field of a table in the context of the form in the transaction SFP in SAP. Then in the hierarchy the field is displayed above the group of the other fields of the table. Usually in the form this should lead to a 'grouping' for the specific field so if you have identical values there is just one entry in the form and all the rows that have this value should appear behind. My problem is that there is still one entry in the form for every row.
Right now I'm using the solution you mentioned with the nested tables but i have some problems with the layout and page breaks (pagination).
Thanks for your help.

Problem with jpg & text box links???? HELP!!!!!!!

Hi All,
I have a perplexing problem with creating some links. I created a button using the shapes tools, I use the command/shift/4 to capture the image I created, I go to photoshop, edit it, then save it as a jpeg, put it into my site, make it a link, publish the site .... then nothing. The link won't work. Any other jpeg image i put in easily converts to a link if I desire, why won't this?
Also, I have read on here that you can use a transparent text box over text to create a link without having to convert the actual text and get the annoying underline, etc. that come with it. Any idea how to do this?
Appreciate your help.

The process that you describe should work exactly like that. I'm not sure what the issue is with those buttons. Do you have a URL where we can take a look at one of these buttons? It may be that they are getting obscured by something else maybe?
Also, I have read on here that you can use a transparent text box over text to create a link without having to convert the actual text and get the annoying underline, etc. that come with it. Any idea how to do this?
This is true. You can always overlay a SHAPE and change its opacity in the Inspector Graphics tab to 1% in order to make it transparent. It has to be 1% or more, though...zero doesn't work. Also, if the text that you want hyperlinked or hotspotted is in a textbox all by itself, then you can also attach the hyperlink to the textbox itself instead of selecting the text in the textbox. That will also avoid the underline....but it works only if the text is in a textbox all by itself.

Permission problems with command line CVS and Java CVS App

Greetings,
I'm part of a moderately sized website development team which recently upgraded to MacBook Pros (dual core) running OS 10.4.9. One of the primary tools we use in our day to day work is the open source concurrent versioning system (CVS). We've noticed a distressing issue running CVS on our macbook pros: there seems to be a problem with the way these new machines handle permissions on the directories/files that CVS uses to manage files.
The error occurs when the CVS application, in this case both command line CVS and GUI CVS application named SmartCVS, tries to rename a temporary file named Entries~ to its new name Entries (no ~). It looks like this:
java.io.IOException: Could not rename file
/Users/[USER]/Sites/[MODULE]/lib/CVS/Entries~ to
/Users/[USER]/Sites/[MODULE]/lib/CVS/Entries
at smartcvs.JP.a(SourceFile:125)
at smartcvs.JP.a(SourceFile:113)
We've noticed that if we open up a get info window on the directory we're downloading, and choose "Apply to enclosed items" right when we start the download process, the issue will be resolved, presumably because the permissions are being set on the subdirectories as the download is taking place.
We've checked the permissions on the overall ~/Sites/ directory numerous times, and they always seem to be set correctly as drwxr-xr-x. It's within this folder that CVS creates a directory with the CVS module name and downloads all the contained files, so we don't see why it would be having issues completing this successfully. We also checked to ensure the GUI CVS application is running under the current user on the machine: it does.
Has anyone run into issues like this in the past? Is there more information I could provide to further clarify the problem we're having?
Thanks for any input you have!

Thanks for asking Jeff, yes one place we are seeing this error is Java application SmartCVS, though the results posted here are from a normal command line CVS checkout.

Anyone else having problems with group messages in iOS 7?

Upgrade to iOS7 went fine. Everything worked smoothly up until about 6:30pm Central time. Can't send/receive group messages in iMessage. Anyone else?
Not sure if this is a problem with my phone or iMessage.

It has failed to work on two of my iOS devices. I am using air 2.6.
This is my code:
Bookmark = SharedObject.getLocal("bookmarkData", "/");
if (Bookmark.data == undefined){
Bookmark.data['lessonIndex'] = 0;
lessonIndex = Bookmark.data['lessonIndex'];
LessonIndex is always 0 at the start of the program. This is a product killing problem. If I cannot resolve this 3 years of work has just been flushed down the toilet.

Mouse problem with FCP: drops clips or do not respond to clicks.

hi to all.
since i bought my macpro i've been noticing a very annoying problem when using FCP. there's a moment when the mouse stops to work properly and begins to drop clips when i try to move it or do not respond to clicks. two examples: 1- i want to move a clip from the end of the timeline to its beggining. in the middle of the way, it just drops the clip, as if i stoped pressing the mouse button. 2- i choose the pen tool so i can play with opacity and create fades. in the middle of the process of adjusting, it stops to work. i have to keep pressing several times to complete the action.
the problem is basically with the CLICK function. the cursor responds to the mouse properly, but when you click something to move it, it doesn't recognizes when you stop it and drops things. it happens only with fcp.
i'm using fcp 6.0.1, though the problem happened when i was using fcp 5.

I have a similar problem with my mouse in FCP. Perhaps not the same thing, but I think I figured out it's due to the design of the mouse. It's an Apple A1152, a white one-button mouse with a little scroll wheel. The thing is the whole top presses down for the click, and if I don't grab the two little tabs on the side that give you the leverage to keep on pressing the top, across larger distances I lose the pressure necessary and I drop whatever it is I was dragging. It's a pain because my hand is not the right size or shape to naturally get a hole of those little tabs. I don't know if your problem is related in any way but I thought I'd mention it just in case...,

Problems with GROUP BY - not a GROUP BY expression

Hello,
I am fighting little bit with GROUP BY expression.
After some tests I am able to reduce the problem to following...
When can I use column numbers in GROUP BY expression?
Consider this situation:
CREATE TABLE EMP4 (
NAME VARCHAR2(10)
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO EMP4 VALUES('Tamara');
INSERT INTO EMP4 VALUES('John');
INSERT INTO EMP4 VALUES('Joseph');
COMMIT;
SELECT NAME, COUNT(*)
FROM EMP4
GROUP BY 1;
00979. 00000 - "not a GROUP BY expression"
-- This is working
SELECT NAME, COUNT(*)
FROM EMP4
GROUP BY NAME;Why is the GROUP BY 1 not workig?
I am using the GROUP BY 1 because in real query there is some PL/SQL function which somehow modifies the column NAME, so I can't use the column name
SELECT TEST_PACKAGE.AppendSomeCharacter(NAME), COUNT(*)
FROM EMP4
GROUP BY 1;Of course I can nest the query and move the COUNT and GROUP BY to outer query or maybe something else, but I was just curious why is the GROUP BY not working...
Also in real query, there are 3 columns in the GROUP BY expression, so I have there GROUP BY 1, 2, 3
Thanks for help

For all those with D-Link routers and problems with iTunes dropping AppleTV

My setup: Custom built WinXP PC with iTunes 7.6.2. Apple TV w/Take 2. D-link DI-624 wireless N router, wired to the PC, wireless to the aTV.
I have an intersting phenomenon occuring with my Apple TV. I can sync the aTV to my PC and it works fine, but the first time we receive a phone call on our VOIP phone, the router drops the ATV connection to the PC. aTV still has internet connectivity, but iTunes on the PC cannot see the aTV, and I cannot sync.
A search yielded gobs of folks with D-link routers and iTunes/AppleTV connection issues. I just won an Airport Extreme router off ebay...as soon as I have a chance to test it out I will post back in this thread as to the results.
I know folks don't like the solution to be "spend more money", but I think it would be worth it to a lot of people if they knew a different router would solve their issues (rather than continuing to guess or throw money at the problem randomly).

I have a WinXP PC and a Linksys G class router. I am on Comcast broadband cable. Both ATV and PC are on wireless link. And I have tried a borrowed Apple Airport router (G class). That didn't help resolve this problem so far. I don't think it is a router issue as you will see that many folks on this forum have the same problem with a wide mix of environments. Many of them are on pure Apple components and so one cannot blame Microsoft and non-Apple devices.
Having said this, I hope the new router resolves your issues. In my case, the only option left is to keep calling Apple Care.
