1 good news about Pages 5 : « »

Among all the disappointment, at long last, they've added correct french quotation marks (guillemets). That's a big deal for us, but a big price to pay wrt all the deleted features.. (sigh)
Enfin : des guillemets typographiques corrects ! c'est le moment. Mais on a l'impression qu'ils sont repartis de la versions iOS et l'ont portée sur osx. Peut-être que la version 5.2 ou 5.3 nous redonnera les features manquants (un outil de recherche décent pour commencer, merci).

For some reason I notice the even numbered updates seem to work like a charm.
I don't know about that--10.3.9 and 10.4.11 are quite nice for me. And my MBP (the only Mac running Leopard we have) has worked like a charm from 10.5.0 to 10.5.3. I've not installed the .4 update yet--I tend to wait a few days and see how things shake out in these forums.
I suspect a lot of the grief reported with updates comes from how they were applied. This procedure always works for me.:
1) When SU offers the update, I wait a few days to a week.
2) if it's a system level update like 10.5.4, I boot my computer from its system DVD and let Disk Utility verify the target volume.
3) I repair permissions.
4) I make sure that that no user applications are running (those not normally run in the background by the OS).
5) I do the install
6) I repair permission again.
The family has nine Macs running OSX and this procedure has always worked. I may be doing some things unnecessarily but I've had 100 percent success (knock wood) so far.

Good news about Carbon Copy Cloner

After reading a post from Mike Bombich at his Carbon Copy Cloner web site that he knew of no reason CCC wouldn't work under Rosetta on the new InteliMacs I decided to try cloning to an external FW400/USB2 Maxtor drive, and indeed he is correct!
Bombich warns that CCC hasn't been thoroughly wrung out on Intel hardware, and that you can NOT mix clones: an Intel clone will NOT boot a PowerPC Mac, nor vice versa.
The only real trick is to be certain to partition the clone drive in the new GUID Partition Scheme listed under Options in the Partition page of Disk Utility. From there CCC runs like it always has, and Bob's your Uncle.

I recommend checking CCC's Help and the stickies at CCC General Tips http://forums.bombich.com/viewforum.php?f=2. If you still have questions, post them to the CCC Troubleshooting forum at http://forums.bombich.com/viewforum.php?f=3—Bombich Forums Moderator.

Is There ANY Good News About The Update To iOS5 ?

So I haven't updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 yet. Before I do, I went to read about how it is working for others, and JESUS !!! What a nightmare it looks like.
So now I am completely nervous to do it and may want to wait. So I ask if I should and if indeed these nightmares are valid and universal to everyone ? Or is anyone out there actually experiencing no problems with the update ? So therefore is it "hit and miss" with these issues I am reading about ?
Please help with some advice, as I would love to be "up to date", but hate quirky bugs and glitches, etc...
Currently on a 16GB iPhone 4 (not a S) with iOS 4.3.5
Thanks in advance for your advice -

Most have no issues.
I have never had an issue nor has anyone I personally know.
Every single update, without exception, is met with some complaints. Just as a hospital is full of sick people, this support forum is full of people who need support.
The majority of users have no isse and therefore do not post on the internet or in support forums.

How do I display more icons on the New-Tab page? I tried about:config

The New-Tab page I see doesn't match what FF shows in help. I changed rows and columns and nothing changed.

Hello,
With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.
If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
You can also see '''jscher2000''''s Chosen Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414
It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] add-on but will automatically shrink the tiles on the page and will limit the tiles based on what you entered for your rows and columns in the '''about:config''' page:
* https://userstyles.org/styles/106326/shrink-new-tab-thumbnails

I have tried for new tab page, also done the process from about:config n all, i successfully got the newtab but once i restart firefox i get blank newtab

i have tried for new tab page, also done the process from about:config n all, i successfully got the newtab but once i restart firefox i get blank newtab not the most visited sites type new tab... plz help

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Cache because Firefox will disable the disk cache in such a case
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
See also:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't or won't (secure pages) be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.
*Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data like the cache and the history when you close Firefox
If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes (no URLs).

My new tab page is missing and now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about. Help!!

I use to have the grid of pinned webpages whenever I clicked on the X of a new tab page. Now it's gone. I figured out if I typed about:newtab in the Awesome bar it would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about...and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned websites back on my New tab page?

Add a new wiki page

hi to all
i want to share my new knowledge about to view a pdf inside firefox, so the right idea is to create a new archwiki page. unfortunately i have no time to create and correct its (i'm not english), so i post here , hoping that someone can create it
this is a draft:
title: Mozplugger
if you want to use evince to open a pdf/ps or any other document supported by evince, inside firefox, and not to open a new window, this is possible and you just follow this simple instructions:
- install mozplugger (in this moment is in AUR)
- delete ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/pluginreg.dat (as mentioned after mozplugger installation)
- edit /etc/mozplugger: find the line containing "pdf" word, after "GV()" edit evince line as below:
#repeat noisy fill exits: evince "$file"
repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file"
- finally close (if not yet) and reopen firefox (now you can see a new plugin called mozplugger)
- try to open a pdf sample
* old forum instructin deprecated "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25685"

Deleting wikis with missing About pages in Lion server.

I am new mac mini lion server owner. Somehow I ended up with Wikis without About Pages n Wiki server and am unable to delete those wikis even with my admin account. When I go to those wikis I get a message "An unexpected error occurred.". I see Action (gear) icon on the page but it only has "Settings" and "Help" links, but no option to delete the wiki even when logged in with an account that own the wiki. Clicking on Settings does not take me there, but remains on the same page. But I am able to go to settings pages of those wikis by manually changing the url to "/settings" after removing the html page of the wiki.
Can someone please help me on how to delete those wikis? I searched in google but found no answers to this. I even looked at Lion documentation but it has no helpful information for this case. I am new to Mac OS, have been a PC user for all these years. So I am new to even simple things on a Mac OS. Please help.
Thank you.

Hi RajPad,
i have not yet found a commandline tool to remove pages. If you're familiar with SQL you can use a tool to connect to the postgresql database where the pages are stored.
I won't try to write a "howto connect to pgsql on lion" here because i know this has been answered already.
If youre connected to the database collabd and you have a page url like:
http://my.lion.server/wiki/pages/P9c196z/somepage.html
Then your SQL to find the entity is:
SELECT * FROM entity where tiny_id='P9c196z';
Note the uid from that result and find and remove all related entries in other tables there after removing this entity.
I have not excercised that myself because i don't have a system to screw
Make a Database dump prior to your actions and hope nobody is editing pages while you're at work.
If you have a plain SQL dump you could pick individual datasets from there to rebuild if something goes wrong. You'll only have to note what you changed to be able to revert.
Just an idea ....
Make a copy of your page and compare both pages in database. If one is working and the other aint you should be able to find the difference.
Good Luck
Andreas

Missing? : File- New- Blank Page- Page type (CSS)- Layout is empty!!

Hello-
I am just learning Dreamweaver CS3 and I'm wondering if something has gone missing on my installation, or if this is how it's supposed to work...
If I do File -> New -> Blank Page (then choose CSS in the Page Type window pane) ... I then find there are no items in the Layout pane for CSS (whereas, under HTML and some others there are lists of items, though others, such as XML, in the list do have items listed. In all, I think about 1/2 are empty, 1/2 are populated)
I've attached a screen shot to clarify this!
Is CSS supposed to be empty, or has something gone missing? I have the book "Dreamweaver CS3 The Missing Manual" but don't find this referenced.
Thanks for the help!

So, if I understand correctly, the CSS "blank pages" will only become populated as I begin to create CSS styles, and it's normal for this to be an empty pane until then?
You are correct, there is nothing inside of that pane and no, nothing will populate that window, even if you do create css styles :-)
When you create a stylesheet, it will be listed in the CSS panel on the right of the working document, it will not go into that CSS pane at all.
Good to see you looking 'under the hood', it means you are willing to learn everything you can about Dreamweaver.

Custom new tab page, tiles and redundant searchbar

I have used the custom new tab add-on for a long time. 4x4 tiles, no search bar, custom background... It was great. A million times better than the standard crap they give you. Since the last update I'm stuck with the standard new-tab page, which I hate. Plus, Google is the ONLY standard search machine available. Yes, you can use others, but not as standard. Bye bye privacy.
Let me sum up the only 2 reasons I used firefox in the first place:
1. The ability to NOT use big brother's services (Google)
2. The CUSTOMIZABLE new-tab page (4x4 tiles instead of 4x2). WITHOUT a redundant search bar.
With last update you have disabled these both. No 4x4 tiles, redundant search bar (there are now 3 search bars instead of 2. 3 times better searching eh?)... I'm done with Firefox. I don't even know why I bothered to take the time to write this.
Mozilla you suck. Every time there's good community driven thing going on, you idiots ruin it.

How Do I Pin A Tile To My New Tab Page, Instructions On Here Do Not Work.

These new FF updates are going to drive me to drink. It's a simple question, one would think, yet I cannot find the answer. FF29 has "tiles", I suppose they are called, when you click on "new tab page". At one point, I had them all on there...how, I don't remember.
Now, my "tiles" are disappearing. I have changed NOTHING. How do I re-add the websites I want to those tiles?
Before someone gives me the generic answer with the link, I will tell you that I already went to this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Those instructions do not work. I do not have any little pin in those squares. When I go to a website that I usually go to, the only option I get is "Pin Tab" but that only adds a tab at the top of the browser window, it does NOT add it to the tiles, like I want.
I've tried the "Show All Bookmarks" route, and tried to drag the bookmark to a tile, it does NOT work.
There are 9 tiles. If I want to change them around, or re-add the 4 that have mysteriously disappeared today, HOW do I do that? Again, those blank tiles do NOT show a "pin" anywhere. They were set up, then they started to disappear. Again, I've changed NOTHING. It should not be this difficult to add a website to my tiles on my new tab page.

What troubleshooting information would you like. I posed a question, you tell me what you would like to see.
I know how to open my about:config, this isn't my first time on the internet.
You said: "You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to see if it still has the default about:newtab value."
Yes, it does. What else would you like to know so that this can be fixed?
I also stated in my very first post that the link you just linked to, (that I also linked to so everyone was aware of what link I'm talking about), I already tried and it doesn't work. Do you guys even read what we put up or do you just hand out random, generic answers?

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?
I know how to use about:config & have had the usual problems with newtab page tiles but this is more like a bug- using 33.0.1. Doesn't show tiles icon in top right corner just shows a gear that is used to hide the empty tiles that I can't fill with sites. First it would only show 2 rows of 4 columns even though I had it set to 5 & 6 then few days later for no reason they went empty with a serrated line around the tiles & can't drag from the bookmarks---- really bloody annoying!!!!!!! Possibly a setting in the about:config but i can't fig it out?

We've upgraded to Release 12.0.5. Whenever we click on functions that open new web pages, the new web page opens in the minimized position.
This is very troublesome for our user community because they often do not notice the new page blinking and they keep clicking the link many times.

Creating new JSF2 pages from a running Servlet (3.0) or JSF2 page?

I'm new to JEE6 web apps with JSF 2.x frontends (GlassFish 3), and I still wasn't able to find a solution for this dynamic JSF 2.x problem:
*From inside a running JSF 2.x web app (Servlet 3.0), which possibilities (if any) do I have to dynamically add generated JSF pages (whole new .xhtml files) to specific folders of the (exploded) document root, so that these pages can be dispatched to the client like any traditional, statically-deployed one?*
Background: An app for "promoting" authors/editors (content providers) which has these few main requirements:
<ol>
<li>New providers will register under <tt>www.acme.com/app/register.xhtml</tt>.</li>
<li>The system will grant each provider "sub-domain" associated with web space under
<tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX</tt> where providerX is an arbitrary sub-domain name chosen by the provider during the registration.</li>
<li>Each provider will initially have some pre-defined pages in their document context root, e.g.
<tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/index.xhtml</tt>, <tt>about-me.xhtml</tt>, <tt>contact.xhtml</tt>, etc.</li>
<li>Each provider will have an administration console for managing 2 tasks:
<ul>
<li type="a"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/admin/page-manager.xhtml</tt> </li>
<li type="a"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/admin/customer-manager.xhtml</tt></li>
</ul>
to specify new pages with offers, publish these pages in their document context root, e.g. <tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/my-services.xhtml</tt> (customized page name), and
to manage their readers/customers, respectively.
</li>
<li>Thus, each providerX will also have a pre-deployed customer registration page running, which creates standard customer accounts. E.g.:
<ul>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/registration.xhtml</tt></li>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/login.xhtml</tt></li>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/customer-account-dashboard.xhtml</tt></li>
</ul>
</li></ol>
Please note: I know that for such kind of systems a CMS would be more suitable, but is such a system -- here aiming at only basic functionality -- also realizable in pure JEE 6 technologies, i.e. w/o CMS???
The unclear main aspect is stated in my initial question above. Basically, I hope to get these clarifications:
<ol>
<li>Which app architecture designs can I use to deploy new generated JSF pages or servlets from within a running JSF page or servlet???</li>
<li>Supposing that all relevant page description data provided by a provider is stored in a db:
Where can I "cache" the new .xhtml pages generated from these data on-the-fly when (a) an exploded WAR, and (b) a packaged WAR is running???
The pages shall be "hooked" to the scope (doc root) of the respective provider and dispatches by the <tt>FacesServlet</tt> as such.</li>
</ol>
Due to the crucial importance in a current project, I'd really appreciate any constructive help very much.

I guess both is possible, but for performance reasons, a pre-compile would be better. How can I achieve this?</li>

Thank you a million for your help, Natalia.I only see mention of xhtml files - that is the easy part. But XHTML files don't actually do anything at all. What about classes like JSF managed beans? jar libraries? database connections and ORM/JPA support which also adds the complexity of having to deal with all the configuration descriptor files? Even if you can automatically deploy all that, replacing existing classes and reloading them is a whole different matter.
My "expert" opinion: this cannot be done with JSF. In fact the only Java web framework which I can think of that has any chance of making something like this possible is Play framework. I'd really take the road that EJP took: make the content dynamic, not the webapp.
