AppleScript's source codes have been mangled beyond repair.

Hello,
New fora software has tampered numbers of AppleScript source codes in posted messages to the extent that they become entirely useless. This is serious.
E.g. (just the tip of an iceberg)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1051811&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1036140&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1033753&tstart=0
At a glance, tab and double hyphens (at the beginning of a line?) seem to have special formatting meanings in the new fora software and be translated into some HTML list elements. However, tabs are embeded in well-indented source codes pasted from Script Editor, though they're usually ignored in browsers, and double hyphens have been used for marking line comment in AppleScript. Consequently, almost all of the posted AppleScript source codes are affected.
Plainly, it is not a good idea to apply new formatting features to the existing messages in the first place. It can introduce corruptions and it does indeed.
So my requests to fora administrators are:
(1) Please restore the existing messages in AppleScript forum to the original untampered state (and apply new formatting features to only new messages to be posted after the change, if you see it really necessary).
(2) Please keep the fora software from interpreting tab and double hyphens (at least) as HTML formatting directives.
(3) Please disclose the list of all characters which are interpreted as special commands in the new fora software in order to avoid further corruptions in the future.
Thank you for your time and support.
Best regards,
Hiroto

(3) Please disclose the list of all characters which are interpreted as special commands in the new fora software in order to avoid further corruptions in the future.
Please don't stop there. Disclose all the details of the new features, like a smiley-to-icon chart or exactly how the quote box format works (single leading ">" vs. one per line or paragraph, what happens in different sized tables, how multiple quote levels (">>" lines) behave, etc.).
I realize I could probably figure this out by trial & error plus pouring over the raw source HTML, but it is ridiculous that I would have to do so with an Apple site -- after all, the company is supposed to be the world's best at ease of use & user friendliness!

  • I cant get itunes on my new laptop.  My laptop says I have to remove itunes from another computer as I can only have it on 5.  Problem is that apart from my ipad, I no longer have the others as they were either broken beyond repair or lost.  Any ideas?

    I am not good with computers.  I am trying to get my iTunes onto this new laptop but it says I am only allowed to have it on 5 computers and I must take it off one to ut it on this new laptop.  Problem is, apart from my iPad, I have lost one laptop and two have been broken beyond repair so I am unable to take it off!  Anyone any ideas?  I have tried to get iTunes support but cant get past the "date of purchase" as I can only guess when I bought my ipod (2009)

    Hang on...
    You can only authorise the songs you purchase from the iTunes Store to play on five computers.
    You can download and install iTunes (the iTunes programme) onto as many computers as you wish.
    Two different things.
    Assuming therefore, that your problem is that you have authorised five computers, but now no longer have some of them, you need to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise the computers you still have.
    To de-authorise your computers, go to your account in the iTunes Store and look for the Deauthorise All button.

  • How do see which t-codes users have been accessing ?

    Hi folks
    I have been asked to run a report by user name showing which t-codes have been used, say in the last 90 days.
    Is this possible?  Or is this information available in a table somewhere, If so what is the table name and key fields needed.
    Layout would need to be something like:
    User name
    T-code     Date Accessed    Time Accessed
    xxxx       xx.xx.xxxx           xx.xx.xx
    Thanks for any advise.

    Hi,
    Transaction execution is histroy is not stored in any table, but it is only stored at server level in binary format. This file gets formatted when ever application server is Restarted.
    You can access execution histroy data using STAT (upto 4.7) /STAD (above 4.7)

  • Creating a copy of an existing JTable that does not have source code.

    Hi
    I am working on a java swing based application. We used a third party API for JTable for showing some data in a table format and also for printing function. As of now print button is printing the whole table being shown in the application. Our new requirement of printing is �Users don�t want to print all the columns being shown in the application and they wanted to have print of columns whatever they would like to see�.
    The above requirement can be fulfilled if I can have a copy of the existing table. Unfortunately we don�t have the source code of the table being shown in the application as we are using 3rd party libraries. Had the source code been there I could have implemented cloneable interface or proto type pattern.
    Can some body help me how can I create a copy of the existing table? Basically the high level approach I thought of is create a new object of the table class and copy the properties/attributes of the existing table to the new table object. But I don�t know what attributes should be copied so that I can have the copy of the original table and how to construct (code) this new table.
    I would be very grateful if some one could help me with this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Srini

    I understood your suggestion. But it would be very difficult to migrate as it requires lot of changes across different tabs of the existing application. This application was developed around 6 years ago. And this change would require lot of regression testing too.
    Do you have any idea of creating the copy of the available JTable object?

    Did you reset Firefox recently?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    If that is the case then you may have lost intermediate certificates that were stored in the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder.
    Check out why the site is untrusted (see the Technical details) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    Some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

    See this text of VLC forum:
    First let me say hello to you all and express how grateful and thankful I am that a great player VLC and a wnderful community (you) exists!
    I have a simple goal.. well maybe now too simple. My goal is to capture tv program and right away stream it on the internet. I have a decent PC, am planning on buying a tv tuner and have been thinking about how I will be able to achieve my goal. Does anyone know if VLC can have tv tuner as a capture device? Is there an article, or perhaps a tutorial that you know of which I could read?
    I am also wondering, how would I be able to stream video to the internet, so that people can see it in the browser window? like windows media player plugin?
    thank you very much in advance!!!

    I am doing what you are wanting with a Leadtec TV2000 express. You should have no problems. Use DirectShow tab. Select your Tv tuner. Select Stream output.. Select MMSH and give it a port. I use Asf for encapsulation and div3 for video mp3 for audio. It's not to bad on my 1.7 gig intel.. about 40% cpu usage. Now all you have to do is type mms://(IP):(port) from start and run.

  • I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

    I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
    I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
    Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
    Thank you,

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for the table or view. The Source property may not have been set.

    Hi All,
    I have a cube in which i'm using the TIME DIM that i created in the warehouse. But now i wanted a new measure in the cube which is Average over time and when i wanted to created the new measure i got a message that no time dim was defined, so i created a
    new time dimension in the SSAS using wizard. But when i tried to process the new time dimension i'm getting the follwoing error message
    "Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for "SSASTIMEDIM" the table or view. The Source property may not have been set."
    Can anyone please tell me why i cannot create a new measure average over the time using my time dimension? Also what am i doing wrong with the SSASTIMEDIM, that i'm getting the error.
    Thanks

    Hi PMunshi,
    According to your description, you get the above error when processing the time dimension. Right?
    In this scenario, since you have updated the DSV, it should have no problem on the table existence. One possibility is that table has been specified for tracking in the notifications for proactive caching, but isn't available any more for some
    reason. Please change the setting in Proactive Caching into "MOLAP".
    Reference:

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
