What does it mean exactly when the file quarantine feature warns you about unsafe file types?

It says here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3662 that "when you open a potentially unsafe file in Finder, Spotlight, or from the Dock, the file quarantine feature will warn you about unsafe file types. If you open a quarantined file, you will receive an alert asking, "Are you sure you want to open it?" You should click Cancel if you have any doubts about its safety."
Am I correct in thinking that when this ^ appears on the screen, it means the file you're trying to open is unsafe but not totally harmful to the Mac? Which means you can still open it and it won't be much of a problem?

If you know that you went to web site shown and downloaded the file shown at the date & time shown, then it's most probably exactly what you think it is. If a panel pops up for some software that should NOT have been downloaded -- as in a file that's part of the operating system -- then all sorts of alarms should go off. This is a classic technique for password grabbers -- you open something like Software Update and are completely expecting to have to type in the username and password of an account with Administrator priviledges, but if it is some nefarious program that you somehow downloaded and has substituted itself in the place of Software Update, then who knows where your password and username are going to get sent off to! If you got a panel like that and it said "Software Update" is an application downloaded from the internet. Or "Mail" is an application downloaded from the internet. Or "TextEdit". Big alarms!!!
This is why when you are downloading software you should type in urls directly, or click on them from a search page rather than some random link in an email/ad/etc. If I type get.adobe.com/flashplayer into the url bar on the browser then I know that I really went to adobe's web site and got the real flashplayer (unless something is REALLY wrong!). When you click on some link it might be going to anyplace at all -- including places that you don't want to go! This panel gives you one last chance to double-check that the file you are opening is what you think it is and it came from where you think it came from.

What does it mean by deleting the Content of the setup table when LO cockpi

Hi all:
what does it mean by deleting the Content of the setup table when LO cockpit ? why should we do it? why set up tables ?
Thank you very much!!!
Edited by: jingying Sony on Jun 7, 2009 4:46 AM

Hi Jingying Soni,
Data sources in LO cockpit have a seperate exctraction source during full update mode and delta update mode.
During delta update mode(when an transaction is posted in any particular application - like SD - sales orderm delivery) data is posted in application tables and updated alongside to the update table/extraction queue.
From the extraction queue this data is further transfered to the delta queue using periodic background jobs.The data is then upladed in BW. The delta lad always reads data from this delta queue.
However, when a full load is requested from the BW, the data is sourced by the set up table of the corresponding application.
The setup table is loaded/initalized first. In this initialization process , it reads data frm the corresponding application tables and stores it within this table. Later BW reads from this set up table whenever full/initial load is requested.
The process of filling set up able before full load request frrom BW is called set up run.
Before you run a set up to fill the set up tables you need to check that the set up table is empty.
If it is still containing data that was previously loaded in some other set up run. This data will als get loaded in BW unitinetionally/accidentally.
So, you need to ensure that you only get the intended data in BW. This can be done by proper selections to transfer data from application tale to set up table and from setup table to BW.
Along with this you hae to ensure that the set up table is either empty or you are using a disparate selection in the set up run and BW load which does not overlap with the previous set up runs data.
Hope it helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

What does it mean to compress a file?

does it mean it will take up less room on my disk and is there anything bad that can happen by compressing a file?

You're talking about lossless compression. See
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression#Lossless>
does it mean it will take up less room on my disk
It depends on the file.
An MP3 or JPEG file contains data which has already been subjected to lossy compression. Consequently, compressing such a file will save very little space on the disk. This saving usually comes from compressing metadata (such as MP3 tags or EXIF tags), which don't take much space to begin with. Under certain circumstances, such a compressed file may even be bigger than the original.
By contrast, text files can take considerable compression. An example is the MS Word .docx format. A .docx file is actually a (compressed) zip archive containing a hierarchy of mostly marked-up text files. Such an archive, when expanded, can take 10 times as much space.
is there anything bad that can happen by compressing a file?
"Anything" is rather a large word. The two chief issues you have to be aware of are password protection and compatibility. If the compressed file is password-protected and you lose the password, you may never again gain access to it. If a compression format becomes obsolete, you may no longer find the software able to expand the archive.

What does it mean .INCLUDE in the table ROOSOURCE?

Dear One's,
What does it mean .INCLUDE in the table ROOSOURCE?
Thanks,
Raj

Hi,
.Include and .append are used for adding structures to a table. But the difference is when we use .append for adding a structure, the structure cannot be added to another table.But if we use .include, the structure can be added in any number of tables.

Hello WayneSchlapkohl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are looking to Email a scanned photo, but do not want the file to be to large. Are you using HP software when you get the error "not connected to the internet" ? If so, What is the Operating System installed, Windows, including version, e.g. Windows 7 or Mac, including version, e.g. 10.8?
Lowering the DPI or resolution will help keep the file size down, if you have an option for that in the software.
Also, what is the Email client are you using, MSN, Gmail, etc?
Cheers,
JERENDS

When Metric's attribute CONFIG="TRUE", what does it mean exactly?

I am confused with the explanation in document <Oracle Enterprise Manager Extensibility 10g Release 4 (10.2.0.4) B40007-01> , it said 'CONFIG: This is a special designation for CONFIG metrics that are uploaded
differently by the EM framework.'. I mean what is the purpose when set CONFIG="TRUE"? For example, how could I understand the code below.
<Metric NAME="MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR" TYPE="RAW" CONFIG="TRUE">
<Display>
<Label NLSID="mmd_MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR">MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR</Label>
</Display>
<TableDescriptor TABLE_NAME="MGMT_EMX_MYSQL_DBVAR">
<ColumnDescriptor NAME="Variable_name" COLUMN_NAME="VARIABLE_NAME" TYPE="STRING" IS_KEY="TRUE" />
<ColumnDescriptor NAME="Value" COLUMN_NAME="VALUE" TYPE="STRING" IS_KEY="FALSE" />
</TableDescriptor>
<ExecutionDescriptor>
<GetTable NAME="MysqlVariables"/>
<GetView NAME="v_result" FROM_TABLE="MysqlVariables">
<Column NAME="Variable_name" COLUMN_NAME="Variable_name" TABLE_NAME="MysqlVariables" />
<Column NAME="Value" COLUMN_NAME="Value" TABLE_NAME="MysqlVariables" />
</GetView>
</ExecutionDescriptor>
</Metric>
Thanks,

Caroy,
Thank you for your reply!
I am a little confused right now. With your first reply, you said, CONFIG=TRUE used for configuration metrics in conjunction with the ECM framework and ECM is not supported with Management Plug-ins. I mean since EMC is not supported, then why there is an option to set CONFIG=TRUE? And besiede the way to collect data, what are the differences between configuration metrics and instance properties(both dynamic and state)?
The reason why I was wondering the metric with CONFIG=TRUE will not be displayed in EM console is becase I have a developed plug-in and metric "MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR" is not appeared in EM console. The file is as below. Would you please tell me why the metric doesn't appear in EM?
target metdata file:
<Metric NAME="MYSQL_MYSQL_DB_VAR" TYPE="RAW" CONFIG="TRUE">

What does E_ADEPT_XML_SYNTAX mean.. The downloaded acsm-file does not open in Adobe Digital Editions

downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 4, and registered computer, verified email and then downloaded e-book from retailer, but the acmsfile does not want to open.
This is very frustrating

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

What does an orange triangle on the file

I am using InDesign CC-2014 on Mac
I have copied a full project to the CC Desktop folders. It includes a variety of files, including an InDD book with 14 documents.
The InDesign files (.indd) themselves have all been marked with green ticks.
The folder with assets has a mix of .psd and .tif files—about 300 images in total.
Some of these (both file types) have orange triangles on the file icon.
And, the synch has now been running for about 5 days and does not appear to be moving past this point—just stalled and little wheel in the CC Synch panel is spinning--spinning
What does the orange icon mean?
Where Can I get further information for troubleshooting?
Any suggestions for how to fix this?

@Spartan707 - Please use the Log Collector tool from here Log Collector Tool to get the Core Sync logs. Email them to me at [email protected] and I will make sure the Core Sync team gets the files to investigate further. From the screen shot I do not see any obvious reason for the files failing to sync. There is this help article on why files may not sync Error: "Unable to sync files".
Bob and Peter thank you for your help.

What does IE browser do when the slug value in the request header has special characters?

Hi ,
I would like to know how does IE browser handle slug if the value field has certain special characters.
For example if the slug header has special characters while posting the http request (say "äøéëåæ")
Then I see using http watch under the "Stream"tab , the slug value is getting converted to a different value(now the value for the above mentioned slug is " Ã¤Ã¸Ã©Ã«Ã¥Ã")
Could someone please explain how does this happen in IE browser?
Thanks alot,
Neelaja

It will disable the proxy server option in Internet Options (untick the box), but will still store your proxy details.

Mafia Wars BETA What does BETA mean exactly?

found in mentioned w /regards to an add-on for firefox easy you tube video downloader.pls update to latest version 3.6 in sandbox if using Firefox 4 beta build Just wondering if the beta part whatever thet is was causing all the adobe flash crashes i'm having?

Jeff,
Haven't heard this one for some time. The beta version you have was a test version that Apple used in the past. Yours has expired, but you can download the Facetime for Mac Application at the APP store. It'll cost you 99cents plus any applicable sales tax.
