Turn off case sensitivity in filesystem

Hi everyone,
I've been a long time UNIX user so upon installing Tiger from fresh (new harddrive) I was pleased to see case sensitivity is now fully supported in HFS+
However, lots of random programs now cease to work... although I'd like to have the pure UNIX case sensitivity, I'd really prefer for all my Applications to work. Is there a way to turn off the case sensitivity on the fly? I don't want to reformat the drive.

I believe you must reformat the drive to return to a non-case sensitive system. Apple's normal recommendation is to create to volumes - one case sensitive and the other not. Install OS X on the non-case sensitive volume.
Of course doing this requires re-partitioning. Both repartitioning and reformatting are destructive processes. As far as I'm aware you cannot simply turn case-sensitivity off (at least not for the filesystem.)

Turning off case-sensitive mode in a cluster?

I just set up a cluster and installed a web application that was running on a non-clustered
machine. When I started to run the application I noticed file references to JSPs
were case sensitive. The setting during deployment of the web application to ignore
case does not seem to work in a clustered environment. Does anybody know how to
turn this off in a cluster?

I am using weblogic 6.1 on windows 2000. When the web application is running in
a non cluster environment, it runs in the case-insensitive mode. The toggle switch
in the admin console allows the mode to change to case-sensitive.
How ever, when I deploy the web app into a cluster, it always runs in case-sensitive
mode. The setting in the admin console for the web app is ignored. How can I run
the web app in a cluster in case-insensitive mode?
Any thoughts?

Hi Rich
Filenames are case-sensitive only on UNIX, and not case-sensitive on
Win/NT.
In WLS5.1 exists a property for the case sensitivity of the jsp' extension
files.
weblogic.httpd.servlet.extensionCaseSensitive
In WLS6.1, you can configure the same property in the console (configuration/files
tab of the
webApp).
Hope this help.

Turn off case sensitive for whole system

Hello,
I am looking for the feasibility to turn off the case sensitive functionality for the whole system. Is it ever possible?
Thank you in advance.

Dmitri, at this time it is not possible to turn off the case sensitive functionality. I would recommend that you submit a enhancement request to CRM On Demand customer care.

Case-Sensitive Search

Hi all,
I'm having a stupid problem. We use Robohelp 7.0 for Word.
When people search using the search tab (compiled version), they
seem to only find words according to the case (i.e., search for
Quickbooks and Quickbooks shows up, but QUICKBOOKS doesn't return
anything). Is there a way to turn off case-sensitivity?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Search on a MIXED_CASE index is case-sensitive. Either re-index and build a case-insensitive index or consider using the ABOUT query operator.

Case sensitivity for text fields

Does anyone know how to turn off case sensitivity for a text field??
Your help is appreciated.

Do you recommend another field type that can be used that does not use case sensitivity?
Thank you

Case Sensitivity in Oracle 8i

Does anyone know how to turn on and off Case Sensitivity?

You can't.
The only way to get round case-sensitivity is to ensure that the columns in question have an UPPER() or LOWER() applied, or to use interMedia ConText, which isn't case-sensitive.

Xperia V Auto-Reboot / Auto Turn-Off - And terrible HK Xperia Care service

I am an owner of Xperia V (Black) and recently, the phone turns itself off automatically OR it reboots itself automatically whenever I use it for, say, around 15 minutes. It only happens when a SIM card is in the phone - it doesn't happen when, say, the SIM card is removed and I am only using WiFi to go on the internet. I use a 4G LTE card from PCCW Mobile in Hong Kong but in fact trying another 3G card there is the same issue.The most terrible thing is what I have so far experienced from the Hong Kong Xperia Care Centre in Mong Kok. I have brought my Xperia V for repair for already the third time and it has been the same issue which still persists! The first time (having waited for a week before the phone "allegedly" got repaired), the Xperia Care centre told me that they have changed the motherboard of the phone and things would be ok. But - no - just when I tested the phone before the Xperia Care guy, the phone turned itself off immediately when I was doing the Set Up procedure. Instead of having the phone back for further checking, the Xperia Care guy told me that it would be an issue with the PCCW Mobile SIM Card, and asked me to go to a PCCW shop to change for another SIM card. I did it, and it does NOT work and have to go back.I went back the second time the next day, and told the people that this is my second time of repairing the phone. The Xperia Care centre person then asked me whether I brought the "charger" of the phone so they can check the charger as well. I have no clue why this problem is related to the charger and why I am told to come back another time. I insisted to put down the phone for repair and in the end they accepted. Another week has passed, I got back the phone from Xperia Care centre. I was told they gave me a new battery for the phone. But, within 5 minutes of using the phone with my SIM card in (bearing in mind this is a new SIM card), the phone turned off AGAIN - despite having 9x% battery level!! It keeps turning off. I am so so so frustrated. I was stupid because I had already left the Xperia Care centre so wasn't able to show the guy the problem. But I just don't understand why the Xperia Care repair guy don't realise this problem - as long as they played with the phone for 5-10 minutes they would have discovered the problem.Now the phone is being repaired for the third time. I said that, given this phone seems to be unrepairable - I should be getting a new one instead of coming back for another 4th or 5th time!!! Unfortunately, the staff told me that this is impossible and they can only exchange parts for me.Sony, could you PLEASE make sure that this phone is getting well repaired before you return it to me??!! I am really sick of going to the repair centre for so many times and if this happens to again, I think I am going to swear I will never buy a Sony phone ever again. It's 3 weeks that I'm deprived of my Xperia phone to use!!

hi zeefung and anyone else, any interest to go Consumer Council to complain Sony Mobile for this unrepairatble auto reboot / auto turn off case?? https://www.facebook.com/sonymobilehk/posts/10151551299574699?comment_id=25793095&reply_comment_id=25967624&offset=0&total_comments=15&notif_t=feed_comment

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

Question: Do Any Mac/Lightroom users use a case-sensitive filesystem?

I know most people use the default case-insensitive Mac filesystem. But plugins may have issues in a case-sensitive filesystem (if not explicitly programmed to handle case), which I just learned is an option for Mac users. Just wondering if any Lightroom users actually do it.
Thanks,
Rob

I'm starting to think that having a case-sensitive filesystem on Mac would only be done by people with very special purposes in mind - e.g. developers who want to test unix command-line apps..., and would "always" be accompanied by case-insensitive volumes for normal Mac use - e.g. Lightroom-data/plugins/photos...
Ya think?
Almost certainly.
As I mentioned before, case-sensitivity is required for, among other things, POSIX compliance, which is of particular interest to a segment of the enterprise and interoperability spaces. Microsoft achieves this by a kernel change (and one of two POSIX-for-Windows licensed libraries) and offering a case-sensitive file system, NTFS. Apple achieves this by offering a way to make HFS+ case-sensitive, with kernel services and a BSD POSIX subsystem that is case-sensitive to the extent the file system is.
Note that apps that treat filespecs as unique when they differ only in case are not necessarily "poorly coded" as this would depend on context and application. There are some very, very good reasons to do so. In fact, one could make an argument that apps that cannot handle a case-sensitive environment are the poorly coded examples. Blindly assuming the case of a filespec makes it unique, or rewriting an existing filespec to a "corrected" one, are very dangerous assumptions.
For most of us, the defaults are more natural, and I would hazard a guess that Lr gets little or no QA under such environments. I know of at least one corner-case (exposed here) that would probably break.

Wacom pen pressure sensitivity always turns off in Photoshop

I got this issue since I got my new windows system.
I do my daily Photoshop session with my Wacom Intuos 4, then randomly later, sensitivity of the pen turns off. The only way to recover the problem is to reboot Photoshop and sometime the whole system.
Any idea why it doing that?
I downloaded the latest Wacom drivers and Photoshop CS4 is up to date and the problem still persist.

When you get this problem again. See if you can open the Wacom Control Panel applet. Some see if the tablet is still working for that applet. If not try checking the Wacom service is running perhaps stop and start it. If that does not fix the problems see if logging off and back does. I have lost my some Wacom Intuos 5 function in Photoshop. The tablet seemed to be working for I could move the cursor. However I think it was widows Pen support doing the movement not Wacom for when I tried the wacom controll panel app it did not think a tablet was connected.

How to turn off categorization for case management

Hopefully a simple one, how to turn off categorization for case management.
I get this error in CRM 5.0 when choosing Cases.
CASE_MANAGEMENT, CASE_TYPE, Z_01
My categorization in the IC profile is set to ZDEFAULT (copy of default) but only contains
IR     Interaction Record
SO     Service Order
ST     Service Ticket
Does not have the CA case entry that is in DEFAULT.
Z_01 is my case type but I see no place to set the categorization.
I think I am missing something easy but don't see it.

I'm guessing zdefault had same description default and it was picking up the default one in error.

How do you make it not so sensitivity. when turned off set down it comes back on or when working out shirt brushes ipod and it changes music

how do you make it not so sensitivity. when turned off set down it comes back on or when working out shirt brushes ipod and it changes music

You didn't say which model of iPod Nano that you have, but generally there should be a lock setting, that can be turned on or off, to prevent accidental changes in settings. And, there is also a setting to turn on or off a feature called, "Shake to Shuffle." It allows you to change songs by just shaking the iPod.
