Aperture finder windows shows set name in arabic text
When I open the finder window to find images/videos etc through web browsers, the set name in Apertue is shown in Arabic.
Here's an example of how it looks. I'm not arabic, nor using that charset.
I don't know if this is truly arabic or any other language.
I've done all the database cleaning in Aperture.
Are you sure you looked in the systems library folder and not your library folder?
The complete path is
/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plug-Ins

How do I keep my new finder window preference set to open a certain folder on the server?
Since switching to Lion, my new finder window preference keeps resetting itself to default. When I open a new finder window I want it to be a certain folder on our server. This setting was persistent in Snow Leopard. Now I have to keep setting it back, sometimes more than once a day. Please help, its very time consuming to have to click through to get to the folder I use most often every time I open a finder window.
Mac Pro (early 2009)
Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon
Memory 8 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B26)Enabling thirds-party cookies is the default and if there aren't any other changes made then Firefox will show "Remember History"
Choosing the "Use custom settings for history" setting doesn't make any changes.<br />
If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were If all History settings are default then you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" and the custom settings are hidden.<br /> -
How to find windows default printer name
Hi Experts,
I have one requirement.....smartform should print in local default printer.
you might be known in windows we can set default printer name .
Suppose when the user executes my program, smartform should print in the default windows printer. not sap default printer. I tried by giving printer name as LOCL. In that case it is displaying pop-window by showing printer name. I don't want to see that pop-up window.
If I pass printer name in the smartform function module.. it is not displaying pop-up window and printing directly.
For this we need to findout what is the default printer of that particular system.
I think ... there will be method / FM to findout the front end default printer name...
Pls help me..
Thanks in advance

Edited by: r badveli on Apr 17, 2009 4:46 AMHi Raghu,
Check the following tables to fetch the printer settings of a user.
TSPUSRSEL - Spool: User-Specific Settings
TSP03D Spool: Device Description (New Format)
So that you can use this detail and can fill the printer name.
Hope this will be useful.
Thanks,

Help, anyone with an iphone wont show their name when i text them.
So my boyfriend and my mom, since I updated my phone their number up top when i text them has a 1+ in front of it. It also says Add Contact at the top next to edit, so I clicked on it and it says Add New or Add to Existing. I chose Add to Existing and it still wont show their name. I even tried deleting the 1 + and deleting the number under the contact without the 1+ and it still wont work. What do I do??
Make sure they are sending to your phone #, not your email address.

Offline files window shows drive name but no files to reconnect
I recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 in the middle of a project (I know, broke the golden rule) but I had backed up my whole system drive so that was OK, install went fine. Now whenever I open the project, the "some Files are offline" window pops up and under "Files to Reconnect" there is the name of the main Scratch drive but no files to reconnect. Any ideas how to stop this happening? It doesn't seem to hinder the editing process but it's a bug I could do without. Just annoying more than anything.
Before clicking on "Reconnect", check the box that offers you to "Forget" the files. there may be 2 - one for media and one for render files.
Nothing like that. Just the drive name "BYTE:" and lots of blank space
PS And change your autosave to 5 minutes until you are sure FCP6 is stable on your system. On mine I have regular crashes. Also get the updates: I think we're on 6.0.2 by now.
Yes I'm up to the latest version 6.0.3 and I will change Autosave prefs to 5 mins good idea. I've actually pretty much finished the film. Taken 5 years so has been through several versions of FCP -
Finder "Documents" shows folder names but I cannot click on any of the folders or files?
Any idea what is going on here? Only happens if I navigate to 'Documents" from the Finder Sidebar. If I go to 'Documents' through my user root, it is fine.
And what happens if you change the view to List? What should be displayed in place of the circle is an icon. Is your Home folder relocated by chance? Or is the Documents folder relocated? I would start by this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu. -

I have used the HeadStart Utilities - Create Find Windows on my module, which has only one module component (MCO). This MCO is query only.
I run the Create Find Windows utility and get the following error:
"CDA-01151: Bound Item (Module Unit 1920360231651748348857850493587257514, Name PAYABLE_ID): Cannot set UPDATE_FLAG - the Column is in a non-updateable Constraint"
How do I correct this error?
I have also attempted to create the Find Window manually as per the HeadStart documentation (Chapter 14). I get a different runtime error. When the forms run on its own, the Find Window shows up (i.e. cursor is in the block). However, when I call this form from my main form through the menu, I get the following:

Software Update doesn't open a Finder window
I am helping a friend new to the Mac OS learn to use the "download only" option in Software Update. On my Mac, when the download completes, a new Finder window opens and shows the complete path to the update pkg(s). I have my Finder window preference set for column view.
I recommended that my friend use the "download only" option on 4 recent updates.
On her Mac, the downloads arrived, but a Finder window never opened. As a result, she was in a panic because she had no idea where the downloads went.
It has now been verified that they are indeed in /Library/Packages. But she had no way of knowing to look there.
I am trying to win this new user over to the Mac, and told her how Software Update would simply show her where it put the pkg files, but it truly doesn't happen on her machine.
It is the late 2006 Core 2 Duo iMac, 2.0 GHz (Intel), running 10.4.11, with almost all subsequent updates.
She is a "new user" in the sense that a) she is 78 years old and b) her previous PC ran Windows 95. She has had a very rough 2 years to date with Tiger - I receive a "HELP!" e-mail or phone call every 2-3 days. She looks for Mac Help in Mail, looks for Address Book Help in iPhoto, etc.
Excuse the digression. Any ideas why Software Update refuses to show where the downloads are? Any possible fixes? I know this is a small problem, but it's a significant one for my friend.
ThanksI'm aware of that approach. I personally think its handy to have the update installers all at hand before I do any updates. If an update goes badly, sometimes it can be a good idea to verify the hard drive, repair permissions, and reapply it, at least that's what I've seen recommended many times for problematic updates.
I'm trying to avoid a philosophical discussion, though, of how to do OS X updates (standalone dmg files vs. Software Update, repairing permissions, or not, safe boot, or not etc. etc.) I've seen long, long discussions. I've never used Software Update to do an update on my machine, but that's only my preference. I could be branded a complete Luddite for this.
I was just hoping that someone out there had a quick fix for the "busted" automatic Finder window - that's all I seek. If not, it's not a serious problem, and I'll move on. Just irritating to see it work 100% perfectly on one Mac and not at all on the other.
Thank you for your input. -
I have strange behaviour appearing since I have been using Snow Leopard, and it manifests itself on at least three different Macs. I cannot find any references to it, but I intermittently have Finder windows that stay open (I cannot close them, either with the button, the Close Window command or the command-W key combination). If I log out and in again, I am able to close them, and I am also able to do it by force-quitting Finder (though once that managed to fail to restart the Finder at all, so I don't like doing that - I then started to just leave the "extra" windows open - I don't think I have ever ended up with more than two "stuck" windows). It doesn't happen to all windows, only some of them, and I have not yet been able to work out why they get "stuck". I run my Finder with the sidebar turned off, but sometimes turn it on temporarily using the keyboard to go to another computer (on our "network" of connected Macs at home). I tend to have several Finder windows open at once, using command double click to open additional ones. I am not sure, but I think the windows may get stuck when I command click the sidebar to open Finder windows showing details of other computers. No matter where I navigate to in the window once it is open, using the sidebar or not, I still cannot close it. When I try to close it, I can see the close button flash in the top left-hand corner of the window, but it doesn't close. The Close command on the menus is visible (not greyed-out) but also just makes the corner flash before failing to close the window.
Does anyone know how to shut the windows down without force-quitting the Finder? Has anyone else got similar behaviour? It is the way I use the Finder? Has anyone reported this? I could not find any similar mentions of this on the discussion forums or in any of the Support section of the Apple site.OK, I have tried deleting the plists suggested, which actually doesn't fix it. I have also managed to find a process that seems to "break" it on Snow Leopard. The process is as follows:
• Have your Finder windows set up so that the sidebar is not shown.
• With one Finder window active, press commandaltS to open the side bar.
• Command-click on a different computer on the list (in my trial, this was a different Mac also running Snow Leopard with sharing active and me accessing it as a logged-in user with the login details already present in my Keychain) and it opens a new window with that Finder selection with the sidebar active.
• In that new window, press commandaltS to close the sidebar.
• Click on the "original" window to make it active.
• Press commandaltS to close the sidebar.
• Click back on the "new" Finder window and double click on the user folder that you are logged in as.
• Double-click on a folder within this.
Sometimes when I do this, the Finder will appear to crash out and restart (at least all the windows disappear and re-appear), and other times, this "new" window will now not close at all without restarting the Finder.
It seems a bit of a long way around, but since I don't like the sidebar cluttering up the real estate on my desktop, and I want separate windows open to copy things between different Macs in my house, I tend to do this sequence a lot, and hadn't realised this was causing the Finder windows to "stick".
Can anyone else replicate this with Snow Leopard? In other words, is it something specific about the set-up in my house, or is it more generic? I have done this with three Macs in my house, but I am not sure if it is something about my home network or something else about how I have them set up that is causing it. -
Sharepoint will mount, but its finder window won't open.
First of all, we'll be fully switched over to Intel Macs in about three weeks, but I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen this problem:
We have a Mac OS X Server running version 10.4.11. We have a G5 running 10.4.11.
We have a hard drive on the X Server available as a share point to administrators. On the same hard drive are multiple share ponts available to various users. On this particular G5, when we mount a specific share point (we'll call it USER FILES), it shows up on the desktop, but it's Finder window will not open (it sort of looks like it tries to open but it doesn't).
On the same G5, when the encompassing hard drive share point (we'll call it OFFICE FILES) is mounted, we are able to open it and then open USER FILES on it with no problems. Of course, we can't allow this user to have an admin access to OFFICE FILES, so she can't access USER FILES this way.
As a test, using my admin access, also can not open USER FILES on this G5. Other share points on the same X Server drive (i.e. ACCOUNTING FILES) can be accessed directly and normally. It's only the USER FILES share point that is having the problem.
There are no access problems to USER FILES via any other machines on the network, be they other G5, Snow Leopard or Lion OS X systems.
The next step, was to restart the problem G5 using an external boot drive, and, following the same procdures outlined above, found the same problem exists. Based on that, I've pretty much ruled out the system software as the culprit.
Next was to zap the PRAM. Still no luck. Restarting in safe mode also produced no positive result.
Funny thing is, the drive is mounting on the Desktop and is accessible via the hierarchical filing system, for instance, we are able to open Microsft Word documents on USER FILES via the File Menu Open command. So all is not lost -- we've got a work around. It's just that it would be nice to fix the problem (I don't even care what's causing it , if I can just fix it).
Any suggestions?Yes, the user does have R&W privelages.
Here's some new info: The problem has now cropped up on two additional users machines.
Additional steps that have been taken: We've taken the server off line and run Disk Utiity's Repair Disk and Repair Permissions on the server startup and the hard drive in question. This produced no change in the results.
Eureka! How's this for odd? The problem only seems to occur if the finder window is set to view in the icon mode. When it's opened in list or column view it seems to open up fine.
I suppose we can let it go with this work around, but my gut says there may be some underlying problem. -
Finder window size and location not remembered
I have OS X 10.10 installed.
When I press Cmd/shift/H to open a finder window showing my home folder I get the default location and size for the window. I resize and relocated the window and close it. When I press that key combination again, the window is now showing the new size and location I previous set. Unfortunately, when I restart the computer, this modification is lost and when I press that key combination the window opens with the default size and location.
I have used the key combination of Cmd/Shift/A to open a finder window showing Applications and Cmd/Shift/U to open a finder window showing the Utilities folder. I have been successful in resizing and relocating these windows, and having the system remember my modifications after a restart. It appears to only be the Cmd/Shift/H combination that is faulty.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?Paddster7,
You could try trashing the hidden file inside the folder that stores some of its positioning and size settings.
To show your hidden files.
Launch ( Terminal ) -> Paste in the following ( defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder ) -> Press Return.
Open the ( Offending Folder ) -> Delete ( .DS_Store ) -> Restart -> Move folder how you want to to stay -> Restart -> Did it stay?
To reverse your hidden files back to hidden.
Launch ( Terminal ) -> Paste in the following ( defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false ; killall Finder ) -> Press Return.

Automate finder window properties in subfolders with AppleScript?
Automator can set window view all the way down to the subfolders. But I have to use AppleScript to set the window's position and columns' widths one at a time.
This is the AppleScript I use:
tell application "Finder"
activate
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {top, left, window width, window height}
select Finder window 1
set width of column id name column of list view options of Finder window 1 to 450
set width of column id modification date column of list view options of Finder window 1 to 150
set width of column id size column of list view options of Finder window 1 to 100
end tell
Is there a way to combine both Automator's Set Window View and the AppleScript above and apply it to run automatically all the way into the subfolders? I can only do the first part to set window view but I have to do hundreds of subfolders manually for the second part.
Google and search but couldn't find a solution.
Any help or suggestion? Thanks!why don't you just change the column widths for all folders in finder? hold option while adjusting the width in one window.

AppleScript That Saves Finder Window Size and Location
I wrote the following AppleScript to position and size Finder windows, but the Finder doesn't "remember" the settings the next time I open the windows.
tell application "Finder"
activate
make new Finder window to disk "Hard Drive"
set toolbar visible of Finder window 1 to false
set current view of Finder window 1 to icon view
clean up Finder window 1 by name
set position of Finder window 1 to {30, 55}
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {30, 55, 400, 625}
make new Finder window to folder " Files" of disk "Hard Drive"
set current view of Finder window 1 to icon view
set toolbar visible of Finder window 1 to false
clean up Finder window 1 by name
set position of Finder window 1 to {410, 55}
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {410, 55, 975, 455}
close Finder window 1
close Finder window 1
end tell
How do I make it so the Finder will remember the location and position?Hello
Here is a script that I use daily.
The code used to force the Finder to "remember" the window position seems a bit tricky. If I remember well I found it on MacScripter.
As far as the Finder is not corrected, we must use this kind of trickery.
--[SCRIPT]
my commun(choose folder)
on open (sel)
my commun(sel's item 1)
end open
(* set bounds to {10, 50, 800, 600} *)
on commun(F)
set F to F as Unicode text
tell application "Finder"
if class of item F is document file then set F to (container of item F) as Unicode text
if ((class of item F) is folder) then my set_bounds(F, {10, 50, 800, 600}, false)
end tell
end commun
on set_bounds(F, b, toolbar)
local ao, i, lesFichiers, fichier
tell application "Finder" to tell folder F
set lesFichiers to every file
repeat with fichier in lesFichiers
my saveImageWithItselfAsIcon(fichier as alias)
end repeat
tell container window
set ao to class is Finder window
open
set current view to icon view
set properties of its icon view options to ¬
{arrangement:arranged by name, icon size:128}
set bounds to b
set toolbar visible to toolbar
set toolbar visible to not toolbar
set toolbar visible to toolbar
if not ao then close
end tell -- to container window
repeat with i in (get folders)
my set_bounds((i as alias), b, toolbar)
end repeat
end tell -- to folder F then to Finder
end set_bounds
