All invisible items visible now - What to do?
Greetings everyone,
All of a sudden all the invisible items at the root level of my HD have become visible, stuff like "bin", "sbin", "Volumes", "etc", "dev" and so on... are now visible, my guess is they are system files, and not to be tampered with...
But how did they show up?
How can I make them "invisible" again? do I have to reinstall OS X?
Thousand thanks in advance,
Hi, no you don't have to reinstall Mac OS X
Just download the free OnyX and ther eis a option to turn supposed invisible items back to what they are supposed to be.
The automation once a month can clean things up a bit too

Oh by the way I'm hoping your cloning that boot drive occassionally in addtion to backing up files

Frame setVisible doesn't make all frame items visible
Hi
I have a system of two frame classes. The MainMenu class calls the Student class. When the Student class is done, it executes:
mainMenu.setVisible(true);
this.dispose();
Sure enough, the Student GUI window disappears, and the MainMenu GUI re-appears. BUT none of the text and buttons on the MainMenu GUI are visible, except for the button that was pressed to bring up the Student GUI. What would cause this? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks
tlAre you removing or adding components after the JFrame has already been realized (i.e. pack() or setVisible() already were called). If so, are you making sure your updating of the components is done in the event dispatch thread queue: (i.e. do all gui updating using the SwingUtilities.invokeLater() method.)
//we want gui updating to be done by the event dispatch thread
final Container c = this.getContentPane(); //'this' is JFrame
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//do your gui updating here
//then validate the contentpane of the to cause it to be repainted
c.validate();
}//end run method
});//end invokeLaterAlso, are you calling validate() after you update components to cause the JFrame to be repainted. These are a few things to consider. -
Had itunes before after virus my computer deleted all intalled items and now cannot reinstall itunes
I have previously had iTunes. My computer got a virus after a few years of having it and I allowed it to uninstall everything I have installed on the computer. So that fixed the virus but I am now trying to get my photos off my iPhone to put on my new phone. I have tried downloading it off the home page and it says "Thank you" but the box never pops up to ask if I want to "run" it. I tried using the forms on iTunes Support. It told me to uninstall iTunes (and its various things with it in a certian order) using the command prompt. The only thing my computer had that associtated with Apple was the Bonjour and I uninstalled it and tired the download and again it didn't work. I then reset my computer and tried to reinstall it and it still wont work. Any suggestions? I need help
There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded. As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (32-bit) - itunessetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" reference does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation. This also includes links to the iTunes 12.0 installers if the issues reported with 12.1 suggest it safer to use the previous version. -
Word Templates: Show all ordered Items
Hi,
I created a webservice in CRM 7.0 which would give back all ordered items.
Now I want to make a list of these and create a Word Document out of it. I use the "Create from template" button in the attachment component.
The order number etc is shown but I dont know how I can make a list of all items ordered.
Can somebody tell me how I can achieve this?
Thanks.All catch is to insert table in the correct level of xml schema.
1. So you first need to insert elements to the template until you reach the element that you want to use in the table. For example if you want to display items of orders, this level would be Transactionhistoryofheader - Btdocflowall - Item
2. After that you would insert table with 2 rows and as many columns as you need.
3. The first row of the table is used for column headers. You can type in freely any text you want to display in column headers.
4. The second row of the table is for the entries themselves. In the second row you have to add elements from the xml schema that are in the lower part of the element under which you inserted table. For example, under Transactionhistoryofheader - Btdocflowall - Item are then next nodes Btorder - Administrationheaderoneorder - Description. So in this case in first column will be displayed descriptions of all entries.
5. At runtime rows are added dynamicly depending on actual number of entries.

Apple, please fix this bug. Sending scanned images to "Pictures" is not what I want nor what I was able to do in every previous operation system. I want to save all scanned items in a specific folder - NOT "PICTURES" Please fix this bug NOW!
I only use Image Capture, so I can't speak for other software.
Here is how I select a Scan To destination:
If you are using the minimal details screen, you should have the same submenu to the left of the page size. -
How to explain. OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external. All can be marked or unmarked in itunes, but none of the photos stored on the external drive will sync to my iPad. Anybody know what's up with that?
What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS. -
I just switched internet provider and ran into this: My MacPro OS 10.6.8, recognizes the modem, as does my HP Officejet 6500A Plus wireless printer, but the computer doesn't "see" the printer. HP tried all its procedures, Mac Utility Disk repair was used without resolving the blind spot. Can you help? Now what?
If you just changed Routers, it is quite possible the Printer is holding onto its old IP Address, which is no longer in the smae subnet and not visible from the rest of your equipment.
You need to know what the IP Address of the printer is. Some HP printers will show you on a front panel, some can print it on a test page. -

I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?
The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
I hope that makes sense. -
I was logged in with a temporary profile on my pc, after restarting everything seemed to be fine. But my iTunes music is all in the cloud now, and my playlists are gone. What do I do?
My iTunes media folder shows ALL of my music still there (including all from imported CD's), but on my iTunes, it says most of it is in the cloud? As well as my playlists that I have had for YEARS, are all gone. I just recently got a new laptop and had my iTunes transferred over, when I re-downloaded iTunes onto it, everything popped up perfectly from this same file. Now after this "Temporary Profile" mishap, nothing is working properly with iTunes.
Help! Please.Do this. If all the synced media like apps and music are alread in the the iTnunes library just backup the iPod and restore from that backup

I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.
The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes. If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window. There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs. Did you check that checkbox? If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled. If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply. Click Apply.
That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs. If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back. -

I have upgrade to IOS 8 and all Fotos are ereased on my Iphone and on my Computer is only the last Backup and there a no Photos now what can i do?
You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information.

Creating 8 Channel Quicktime Files Out of Adobe Premiere
Final Cut Pro is the perfect example for setting A1 CH1, A2 CH2, A3 CH3, A4 CH 4 etc... how come this doesn't seem the same for Premiere? Is the only (and most efficient) option is to create a separate AAF file with separate .AIFF or .WAV tracks?
