10.5.3 fighting with iDisk

Immediately after installing 10.5.3 on my mac pro, started having connection problems and hangs with iDisk. Every time the machine was stuck in a hang pattern, the activity monitor showed syncing or dot mac syncing to be running continuously at the top of my processes. Files on the idisk started behaving erratically as well.
Tried repairing permissions, repairing disk starting up from CD, turning off automatic syncing of idisk and turning off the feature that allows it to stay active even when not connected. No improvement. Also tried starting up in safe mode and still had the problem.
Ended up downgrading back to 10.5.2 and all is well again.
Anyone else having similar problems or come up with a fix?
Thanks!

Why does iDisk suck so bad?
Maybe you are using it in the extraction mode?
I’m running 10.5.4 and have a “mobileme” account. Sometimes when I try to access my iDisk through the finder it just sits and does nothing. For eternity. Won’t show up. I can access it through the web, but I cannot get to it through the finder. It’s infuriating.
I can force it usually, by cutting my wireless connection & then relaunching finder, so that the finder is forced to “drop the line” so to speak. Then when I turn wi-fi back on I can usually get right to it. But still. I shouldn’t have to drop everything else I’m doing, lose my connection to my little network and the internet & my time capsule & my speakers every time I need to access the iDisk.
This is neither the iDisk nor the MobileMe forum, nor the TimeCapsule forum
They are all elsewhere.
This is the Leopard Install and Setup user-to-user forum.
MobileMe forum is here http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
TimeCapsule forum is here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253
iDisk forum is here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=963
I hope this helps.

Does anyone know how to win a fight with layout manager?

I am using the form designer in netBeans to design my page, which has a jPanel on the left and a number of controls on the right.
My problem is that when I eventually get it to look half right at design time, it looks different at run time. The fonts are different, the combo boxes are a different height and some of my text boxes are 4 times as wide. http://RPSeaman.googlepages.com/layout.GIF shows both the design-time view and the run-time view. How can I win my fight with layout manager?

I'd like to do an experiment where you take say 20 pairs of students of java, with each pair matched in terms of prior programming and java experience, general knowledge, etc... and set one of each pair to learn Swing using netbeans and its layout generator with the other pair learning to code Swing by hand. Then 6 months later compare their abilities. I'll bet that the code by hand group will blow the other group out of the water in terms of understanding and ability.

Fighting with BI Publisher: Condition doesn't work

Hi all,
I hope someone an help me, because I am fighting with BI Publisher since 3 days.
I have a template with a table (it's a kind of matrix) where the columns are VL1, VL2, VL3. The rows are Count with value '1', Count with value '2'. The BI Publisher works with Siebel.
The idea is:
- for each Campaign on the Campaign Applet:
- if the value under VL1 is '1' on the Contact Applet (all contacts for the campaign are shown on the applet below the Campaign Applet):
- count all the records on the Contact Applet where the conditon is met (VL1=1)
The result is set on the cell of the pair (VL1 / Count with Value '1') of the table in my .rtf template.
So, I created the table but by counting the application counts all records no matter if it equals '1' or not.
On the cell of the Pair (VL1 / Count with Value '1') I added this condition for the text CountVL1 on the cell:
<?if:ScoreL1='1'?>
<?count(Contactid)?>
<?end if?>
it doesn't work out.
Is there something wrong? could anybody help me please? :-(
Best Regards

Hi Tim,
thanks for the answer.
- What do you mean by 'it doesnt work'? If ScoreL1 is equal to 1 then count(Contactid) does not return a value?
it returns a value, but it returns the number of all records and not the number of only the records where the condition is met (ScoreL1 = 1).
- 1. For both ScoreL1 and Contactid you need to check if the values are accessible from the table cell the condition is in. By that I mean that if the processor is laying out a table with data from one part of the data tree and you suddenly say get me ScoreL1 and its somewhere else. It may not be able to fetch the value. To check, just remove the if and see if the values are returned
For the variables ScoreL1 and ContactId the values were fetched. But I guess it doesn't give as result the correct data.
ScoreL1 is a Text. In the Applet ScoreL1 can have the values 1, 2, 3, or 4.
I replaced the condition with number(Contactid) but it gives me only Java errors and the HTML Side is not shown:
<?if:ScoreL1='1'?>
<?count(Contactid)?>
<?end if?>
was that what you meant?
regards

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

Is MobileMe with iDisk Syncing equivalent to DropBox?

Is MobileMe with iDisk Syncing equivalent to DropBox?
Is it any faster or slower?
I think that the default file structure setup, which is the same as that of the Home folder, had me confused. Do I have this right? To use iDisk and iDisk syncing "properly," you just put the files in your iDisk that you want to keep available to multiple computers, not necessarily everything in your Documents folder going to the Documents folder on your iDisk etc. (i.e. the same things you might put in DropBox).
Now, let's say that you want to have your pictures (and perhaps even your iTunes) available to multiple computers that use the same MobileMe account; could you put your whole iPhoto library in the Pictures folder on your iDisk and then point your iPhoto application to that iPhoto library? If you did this how much of a speed hit would you take? If my assumption is correct, once it is synchronized, even if you were not connected to the Internet, your use of iPhoto shouldn't be speed-compromised and if you had added or changed a number of photos, that work would synchronize the next time you did connect.

All I can tell you is that I have Entourage syncing events to the iPhone via MobileMe/iCal fine (I'm not trying to sync contacts or email settings). (Although I don't really have accepted invites as I'm not on Exchange)
MobileMe offers free chat help--go to the support page, and wait a little bit or read a bit until the link shows up.

I think an outer join will work so im not going to post all the sample data.
Can someone help with the syntax ? so i want to join all selects with a full outer join. i tried like this with 2 of them
select a.person_sso,b.applied_sso,b.applied_hours from
(tbl_ate_jun) a
full outer join
(SELECT
tbl_ate_jun.person_sso as applied_sso,
sum(tbl_ate_jun.Voucher_Hours) as applied_hours
FROM
tbl_pd_jun,
tbl_ate_jun
WHERE
tbl_ate_jun.voucher_code IN (select project_number from tbl_pd_jun
where Office_FSR IS NULL AND Programs_FSR IS NULL)
and tbl_ate_jun.voucher_code=tbl_pd_jun.project_number
group by tbl_ate_jun.person_sso)b on a.person_sso = b.applied_sso

Preview in browser fails with iDisk

Hi,
I have my Mac set to use a local copy of my iDisk to store
all of my documents. I open my site from the iDisk icon in Finder.
Everything works well and I can access, edit and publish my site
with no problems. However when I attempt to preview my site in
Safari or firefox the URL is always incorrect.
It is passed to the browser as
"file:///Macintosh/Users/emellodew/Documents/HTML/Sites/"
Where it should come through as
"file:///Volumes/emellodew/Documents/HTML/Sites/".
Does anybody know how I can fix this?
Regards
Ed

If the address information is incorrect you should double
check your paths. Also, consider using the computer's IP address if
you can as opposed to the localhost address. All you would need to
make that work is to just turn on Web Sharing in the preferences
(this turns on Apache web server). I have found this to be a much
more reliable method on the Mac.
Also, please make sure, if you have not already done so, that
Safari is the latest version (meaning the final release and not the
beta), because there were issues with the beta that I had.

Is it the case that I can't back up all my files (including those created with third party software) to iCloud as I did with iDisk?

It seems as if icloud only wants me to save files to iCloud that I create with a few iCloud compatible apps (mail, pages, numbers, keynote). I used iDisk as an off-site back up for many of my most important files, including those created with 3rd party apps. Is it the case that I can no longer do that?

There are a number of alternatives to iDisk for file storage, most of them much faster. This page examines some of them:

After sharing IMovie with Quicktime I can't get it to download with IDisk

I am completely frustrated. I have attempted to share with homepage from IMovie also with Quicktime to IDisk. I have a .Mac account. I just keep getting a copying format that continues and never stops.

Export from iMovie to your Desktop.
Mount your iDisk (not the local copy) using the Finder Go menu.
Drag the QuickTime file from your Desktop to the Movies folder of your iDisk.
Wait for the file to finish uploading.
You can do other things if you want as they should slow down the upload too much.
Once the upload is done you can log in at Homepage, create a movie template and include your new file in it.

Has the new iWeb prevented the Web Dav connection with iDisk?

Today Apple introduced new updates to .Mac. This will be great when I get enough cash to buy one of those fancy new iMacs with the Intel chip. Meanwhile my Goliath WebDav application gets the message "Unknown connection error" when I try to log into my iDisk.
Is there a fix? Or has Apple made it impossible for me to manage my Homepage from an Apple computer?

Address Book gone after sync with idisk

I sync'd my address book with my idisk account. Addresses in both places. I put it on auto. Later my desk top address book was empty. I tried to sync again and then the idisk account was empty too.

I experienced the same thing a few days ago, although I didn't connect it with iSync. That could be what caused the problem though.
If I look in my Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data I can see my addresses, and adding a new address to the blank address book makes it appear in that file.

Fighting with Submit Button and Return Address / distributing Forms

I go crazy, too ! We designed some smart forms for a new evaluation process, too, and had a successfully test within our IT collegues. Now we handed the process over to the users, and the problems are on!
We made sure that everyone uses the same version of Adobe 9.1.2 Pro - but not 2 users do have the same results.
We found following 2 major issues:
1) When opening the _distributed.pdf - users either completly missing the pink bar with Highlight fields / Submit Form
or, very odd, just the Submit Form button
2) For those who fortunatly have the Submit Button, another odd thing happens:
The Send form correctly shows the to: address .....
Our Desktop Email Application is Notes...
Guess what .... Now the Email adress changes to [email protected]   ( this worked fine in our testings before...)
Do you have any clue from where this address is pulled ???? We checked the identitity Info in the Adobe installation at the users computers, the email and name entries are correct there.....
Please help !!!

I am pretty sure the answer is in the script. I have put together pieces of script from other suggestions and I am pretty sure I have ascrewed something up along teh way. I have looked at the attached link and that is where I got some of the script you see below. I am sure you will refer to me as the hatchet person who chopped the script up. sorry. (It is in the Mouse Up) This does work, sort of...It will give the user the message that the required fields are not filed in if they are blank, but it will send the email, but without the custom message in the subject line.

vSubject = "Form completed by " + employeename.rawValue;
vBody = "The form has been sent by " + employeename.rawValue;

List Menu Fighting With Embedded PDF Files, sub-items pop up behind the embedded PDFs

I’m trying to embed PDF file that will stay behind my javascript pop up menus on my website.
I tried setting the z-index for the menu in the css to 10 and the z-index on the embedded file to 1, that didn’t seem to do anything.
I know that you can embed a swf as an object and set the wmode to “transparent” , but it doesn’t seem to work the same way with a PDF. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

InDesign CS6 - fonts problems (Document fonts fight with system installed fonts, "font incomplete")

hello
First, Indesign function to automatically open fonts from "Document fonts" folder is fantastic, quasy font manager. BUT, fonts is available ONLY for THAT indesign document, no other application can use it, even from CS6 suite. This is probably the most stupid decision about how this function must work. IDEALLY, fonts will be available for ALL application inside CS package until indd doc is closed. If I need some font for editing links in photoshop, illustrator I need to install them. This workflow have wrong concept.
We now have problem, sorry Indesign have problem. Example, I need type1 font mt-symbol for mathtype AND for Indesign. This font is installed in c:\windows\fonts folder. Everything work fine. When I make package from Indesign and reopen indesign indd document inside package, Indesign report that mt-symbol IS INCOMPLETE. WHY, BECAUSE CONCURENT FONTS from both C:\windows\fonts folder AND FROM "Document fonts" folder. If I rename "Document fonts" folder, Indesign open font only from system and everything work properly.
THIS IS BIG PROBLEM, fonts circles around workflow/folders and always will be duplicates in "document fonts" and system\fonts folder because different application need same fonts.
Any solution?

Another problem with the Document Fonts folder that we just noticed: in CS5, you could place Windows Type 1 fonts (.pfm and .pfb) into the Document Fonts folder on a Mac and InDesign would activate them.
This no longer works in CS6. (Bug report filed.)
Huge bummer, as this was a great timesaver and workaround in a high-production prepress environment when working with old Windows files. Hopefully this was not an intentional change and will be restored in a later bugfix release, or at worst in CS7.
