10.4.9 ::: Renaming files / folders does not work the GUI way

Hi,
just realized a strange problem on an Mac Mini (10.4.9) here.
The installation contains 3 user-accounts
Problem only occurs for one of those three accounts
Description:
- If the user tries to rename a file via
a) mouse click on the name or
b) get info dialog
the folder/file name gets marked as supposed
BUT it looks like all keyboard input is ignored at all.
That results in the point that this special user-account is unable to
rename any file/foldername.
All files i have tested display correct ownership in the GetInfo dialog.
Rename works without problems if i am using Terminal.app and the MV-command.
Based on that i assume that the ownership & permissions are correct.
All other user-accounts do act like suppoed regarding renaming etc...
Is that a common bug under certain cases ?
Can you provide me any solution for that problem / bug ?
Can i offer any additional information to help debugging this problem ?
best regards
fidel

Ok i realized the MacMini is usualy not shutdown at the evening.
So i guess this special Mac was running/sleep/running for several month now.
Maybe just a strange-side-effect of that nig uptime...anyway its a bug.
A Restart fixed that problem now for this time, but according to some other threads / discussions i have found during my research it seems like its a known problem in general
I am still interested if there is a real work-around ofr that issue
Best regards
fidel

How does one do a two way contacts sync between an iphone and outlook? Most of the community has answered as this to be "always so", but it does not work! Changes made on outlook get done in my iPhone, but it does not work the other way around!

Class.newInstance() does not work the same way in Java 5.0

We upgraded our development environment to RAD 7, and I am experiencing an interesting problem with the code below which worked perfectly with the previous version.
Class cloneClass = fromObject.getClass();
Object toObject = null;
toObject = cloneClass.newInstance();
I am using an open source hashtable called OrderedHashtable that uses the key-value lookup capabilities of a hashtable and order preserving capablities of a vector. It stores the objects in a hashtable and stores the keys in a vector.
fromObject in the code above is a key (String) that I retrieve from the OrderedHashtable and clone it using the code above. But with java 1.5 , the cloneClass.newInstance of this String object returns an empty string.
I guess there is a work around where I can check if the cloneClass is an Instance of String and just do fromObject.toString(), but I was curious to know if there was a change in the way class.newInstance() works in Java 1.5

>
fromObject in the code above is a key (String) that I retrieve from the OrderedHashtable and clone it using the code above.No. How could that code possibly clone a String? Where are you telling it what the new String's contents should be?
(HINT: Nowhere.)

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Acrobat Pro "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file

I have installed CC but Acrobat Pro gives me headaches.
The "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file but something I have worked on in the past.
It forces me to navigates through my hard disk for this very straightforward thing in normal conditions. I precise: Acrobat is the only software reacting like that.
I use Windows7 professional 64bits.

I use what seems to be the latest version available on the Cloud:
To illustrate my point, I open a directory with explorer and double-click on the only PDF in there:
So here it is, open:
When I do a "Save as", it takes me to a totally different place on the disk!
Very annoying...
Thanks for your time!

You must either post a link to it on another server or embed it into a post using the camera icon on the web page like this:

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work- the serial number does not work?

photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:

That S/N does work. I double checked.

RRMXP does not work with GUI 7.20

Hi Experts,
I have the following problem. RRMXP does not work with GUI 7.20, BEX 7.0 launches and I have to enter proper user and password. (I get SAP Logon screen with listed systems)
It works properly with GUI 7.10 and I have not to log into BEX.
Did anyone encounter such problem? Does anyone know what causes the problem?
Regards&thanks
Marek

Hi,
RRMXP uses OLE to launch Microsoft Excel together with the SAP BEx add-in. Then it use a macro within BEx to open the workbook. check whether BEx is not installed properly (run SAPBEXC.XLA under C:Program FilesSAPFrontendBW) or the Excel macro security settings prevent execution of the macros.
Also Check the below link it has some note to follow
RRMX and RRMXP does not open the query and workbook

Restart your phone by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. If that does not solve the issue contact your cell provider so they can resolve the issue.

"Download Linked File As" Does Not Work

As others have noted, although Safari is an excellent and fast browser, there is one feature that is quite annoying, namely that all filed download by default to a single folder selected in preferences. Internet Explorer (and Firefox, I believe) by default allows the user to save to any folder selected at the time. In each thread I've read noting this problem, someone answers that the solution in Safari is to right click on the link and select "Download Linked File As" then direct the browser to the folder. The problem is that this does not work as Safari downloads only the link (or something else) but not the linked file. For example, if the linked file is a PDF, under "file type" PDF does not appear, only "All Files" and once the download is complete you have an entry in the desired folder but not the file itself. (This is true even if you append the proper suffix to the file name; no actual file.) Is there a solution here or does it really take several steps to get a downloaded file into the folder of choice?

I just checked a pdf and "Download linked file as" does give me option to save where I want for pdf, jpg files and others.
