ARD 3 not prompting user to save changes even when told to

Hello! I have ARD 3 and when I send out a restart command and select the radio option "Users can save changes or cancel restart" it acts as if I didn't select this, and instead selected "Users lose unsaved changes".
This has never worked for me. If working properly, it SHOULD actually show up on the affected computer a dialog popup of some sort providing the user just those option: to save changes or cancel restart.
What is wrong/going on, and how do I fix it?
Thanks ahead of time,
Sam Marcus

Prompt user to save change before abnormally closing the application

Hi,
I've some trouble prompting user to save change before abnormally closing the application (logging off, shutdownding machine...). I tried to use Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook() and it doesn't seem to work. Here's part of my code. Help please!!!
program print out "1" and stays in a "dead-lock" mode...
private void shutdown() {
boolean saveConfig = true;
if (saveConfig) {
System.out.println("1 ");
int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
"Configuration has been changed. Do you want to save
configuration before exit?",
"Save Config"
JOptionPane.
YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Can't connect to unit. Error in Heal unit!", "Error", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
System.out.println("2 ");
if (answer == 0) {
savefileButton_actionPerformed();
jMenuFileExit_actionPerformed();
else if (answer == 1) {
jMenuFileExit_actionPerformed();
else {
return;
else {
int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(itself,
"Are you sure you want to exit? ",
"Exit",
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
if (answer == 0) {
jMenuFileExit_actionPerformed();
else {
return;
private class MyShutdownHook extends Thread {
public void run() {
shutdown();
// add shutdown hook
MyShutdownHook shutdownHook = new MyShutdownHook();
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(shutdownHook);

doesn't much matter. shutdown hooks are not guaranteed to run or be able to finish.

My airport express seems to be broken -- light is yellow and does not flash and doesn't change even when I press the "reset". Tried unplugging and reset -- still a solid yellow.

AX light is yellow and does not flash and doesn't change even when I press the "reset". Tried unplugging and reset -- still a solid yellow. I assume this is a goner?

Unfortunately, based on your description, I would have to second that your Express is a "goner." However, before giving up on the unit, be sure that you attempt a "factory default" reset at least 3x just to be sure.

Prompting user to save changes before leaving jsp

Folks,
I want to be able to prompt the user to save changes on the page that he's on, before he navigates to a different one. one idea i explored is using the body onUnload event. the problem is that my page is split into multiple jsps with tiles, and the body tag is in a common tile that i can't really access.
Any other ideas on how to do this?
Thanks,
Nilesh

How to prompt users to save changes?

Hi,
I am using WAD to develop planning layouts for BIIP.
I am curious as how to prompt the user to save the changes thay made to the data on the layout if they decide to navigate away from the page.
Any suggestions?
thank you

Hi AG
Did you find the place choosing the options? I didn't remenber them all, you can try to search these options.If you want to change the default value of this option, you can go to System Administration --> System Configuration --> Service Configuration --> Applications --> com.sap.portal.epcf.loader --> services --> epcfloader. Set the value of Workprotect.mode.default, which default is 1, and other three options are related to 2, 3, 4.
Best regards.

They can use Acrobat to save the form.
If they only have Adobe Reader, they need to Reader extend the form, to enable Adobe Reader to save the form with data.

How to promt user to save changes when changing non-database fields?

Hi,
I have a form with two tabs. The datablock Block_1 on tab_2 is based on a database view. But all the displayed items of Block_1 are non-database items. Whenever a user changes some items in Block_1 and presses save button, the values from non_db items get copied to the db_items (based on view) and commit_form is called. This works fine.
But the problem here is: after changing some items in block_1, if the user navigates to some other option/form from the menu , the form doesnt promt the user to 'save the changes' and all the changes made are lost. How can I fix that?
I have a form level key-exit trigger, (which does not fire) with following code :-
Declare
X Number;
alert_is             alert;
Begin
If :System.Mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' Then
       Exit_Form;
Else
If :System.Form_Status In ('NEW','QUERY') Then
     alert_is := FIND_ALERT('TMPL_EXIT'); -- "Are you sure you want to exit?"
    X := Show_Alert('TMPL_EXIT');
    If X = Alert_Button1 Then
       Exit_Form(no_validate);
    End If;
    Else
       Exit_Form;
End If;
End If;
End;

The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

In Ver. XI it always asks if I want to save changes-even tho I made no changes. How can I stop that?

Thank you Pat..that was very kind of you to help. And yes-it does happen with every pdf. But you're right-if I just say yes one time..then I'm not prompted the next time I open that particular pdf-but it does make me confirm I want to write over the same name the file had already in order to save it.
I made all my pdf's with the Chrome save as pdf command..never had a error message in prior Acrobat when closing the file.
All the best Pat

My apple tv is not working on my panasonic projector even when I changed the resolution

What is the model #? Is it a direct HDMI connection? Have you tried a different cable and port? If possible try a different display.

I am in Muse 2014.3. When I edit a page, in the preview everything looks fine, but when I upload it to FTP, the page does not change, even when I upload the whole site. Is this a bug? I don't know what to do.

Hi Jaap,
Are you sure about your FTP credentials (FTP folder and site URL) that you are using for the upload? Are you able to see the updated files in the remote directory of the FTP server, after you finish uploading the muse file, using an external FTP client like FileZilla?
Thanks

Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoyi

Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoying. What happened? Internet Explorer 8.0 did the same thing. This was one of the reasons why I started using Firefox to download all images. I went into Tools>Options and it only lets me set another folder. I dont want to set a specific folder I want it to always go to the last folder used. So what gives?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== possibly when the most recent updates were installed, a few days ago

Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

Confirmation to user regarding Save changes depending on data change

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.2 version and new to ADF. I have a situation like, i have 8 - tabs and user will be moving from one to another by optionally modifying the information displayed on the each tab. If user doesn't modify the page, then system should not prompt for "Saving the data in the perticular tab". However in the case of modification in the tab and moving to another tab, system shoud prompt to the user with the message "Do you want to save the changes? Yes/No".
I need a help regarding this by using the JavaScript / backing beam. I feel, if this can be implementable by using Javascript will be good.
If we implement the above by using backing bean, then we may end-up in using ActionListner to send the status back to server and at the time of moving to another tab, again travel back to server to get the changed value status. If i have 20 elements on page, there may be ActionListner for all GUI element respectively and frequently traversing back to server may not be good.
If the code is shared related to above scanario, will be a great help.
Thanks in advance,
--Majid

Allowing a user to save changes

I am creating an app that is something similar to this one:-
http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/DragTile/DragDrop.html
However what I want is when a user drags an item from one tilelist into the other tilelist for them to be able to save these changes so that when they close the application and reopen it these changes will still be there i.e. if the top tilelist is tilelist1 and the bottom tilelist is tilelist2 and the user drags a couple of items to tilelist1 TO tilelist2 I want these items to appear in tilelist 2 after the app has been closed and reopened and the items that have been moved NOT to appear in tilelist 1 anymore.
I also want the user to be able to type their name into a text area and save it by clicking a save button so their name will also be shown next time they open the app.
What is the best way to do this? Via xml perhaps? I've used xml to contain data that populates a site in the past but never used it where it allows user's to actually insert data into an xml file. Are there any examples of anything simiar that may help me out?

That may work but I'm not sure on how to apply it to my own application. Here's a little bit of my code to show you what I mean. The button marked "populate" populates the left hand tilelist when clicked and also acts as a reset button if the user wants to reset the links back to normal. What I want is when the button marked "save" is clicked for all the changes a user has made to both tilelists to be saved. How can the following code be edited to allow that:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:WindowedApplication
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.*;
