Ask for confirmation does not prompt - automator help

Hello everybody,
I wrote a simple application to mount the Media folder of my NAS. The first step is asking for confirmation as I want to make sure I am at home when my NAS is available and I do not want to continue the script when I am at work for example. Everything works fine when I test it insde automator.
I then tried to save the script as application and put in my Login items.
So when I start up I can see the little gear on top turning but there is not pop-up asking for confirmation. The script just get stuck.
Anybody know what might be the problem? When I run the application normally by clicking on it everything goes as it shoud but if it's in Login items it gets blocked at the first step and never even ask for cofnfirmation
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Is the "Hide" checkbox is checked in "System preferences" --> Accounts--> "Login items" ?
If it is checked, uncheck it.
If it still doesn't work, try this:
Remove the asking for confirmation action
Insert the "Run appleScript" action, cut all text in the action
Copy/paste this text in the action:
on run
activate
display dialog "Do you want to mount the Media folder of my NAS?"
end run

Is it possible you mistakenly clicked on a [Clear Layout] button?
But a great hint is- Always click on the [Create a Saved Book] button, early in your new book design.
Then you have a permanent link to the book in the Collections panel. (In addition to the standard collection of your selected images)
Note: a Book Collection shows an icon that looks like a book.
Every time you come back to edit the book, open the Book Module by clicking on the white arrow that appears on the end of your Book Collection title. (The title as saved)
Re-opening a book without using the "Saved Book" option can have unpredictable results.
A "Book" Collection is like a "Smart Collection" because anything you do to the book design, change pages, change images, etc, is automatically updated in the Saved Book collection.

Send to OneNote from Outlook does not prompt for location

Hello
Since the most recent update, the Send To OneNote feature in Outlook does not prompt for a location but seems to be defaulting to the same notebook each time - even if it is not the active notebook. I've tried repairing Office 365 but it did not work. Is
this a known issue?
Thank you
Simon

iTunes Store for Windows. Everytime I try an access the iTunes Store it takes really long to connect and then it says iTunes store cannot be access. I think I am up to date with iTunes Verison, I Have 11.0.2.26 but no matter what I try it does not connect. HELP Please???

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

ADF panel does not prompt for variable defined in ADF view object.

I have created an ADF Panel, which allows the user to run a few simple queries against an Oracle database done using ADF view objects and ADF view links and ADF application module.
One of these queries lookup detail information about a given database object (Table, view or whatever) from dba_objects. The SQL uses a parameter (:P_OBJ_NAME) that has a default value of “Departments”. If I run the ADF application module by itself outside of the ADF panel, all works fine, it prompts me to provide a value for the parameter :P_OBJ_NAME.
As I said the panel contains the different ADF view links including the one that should prompt the user to provide a value for :P_OBJ_NAME. When I run the panel it does not prompt me for :P_OBJ_NAME, it just uses the default defined value “departments”.
I hope I described my problem for every one to understand. The question obviously is how do I get the ADF panel to prompt the user to provide a value for parameter :P_OBJ_NAME, my expectation was that since the sql in the view object and the application module both are designed to prompt for a value for this parameter then the panel should do just that but it does not.
You expert input would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Bobby A.

The prompting for a parameter is a feature we built into the ADF Tester - it is not a default behavior you get in your application when you just place a VO on your page.
To get something like this expend the operations node under the VO in the data control palette, and drag the "Execute with parameters" operation to your page to drop it as a parameter form.
This will provide your user a place to fill out the parameter and press a button to execute the query.

Hi Trishw,
At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

Is this a pre-paid card thing? Or different billing address than your iTS account?

OVM Server 2.1.2 does not prompt for Networking

OVM Server 2.1.2 does not prompt for a network setup (ie DHCP or static IPs).
- I tried re-installing this several times
This same machine works with native Enterprise Linux 5.2 x86-64 networking.
The motherboard has two onboard Realtek 8111C chips (10/100/1000 Mbit)
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2842
Will setting up networking by hand work with OVM Server 2.1.2?

OK I finaly made my Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller to work.
First install an Ethernet card in your box that OVM supports. This to make the OVM installation run smoothly.
When OVM is up and running follow the steps in [Mini-HOWTO] RPMs needed to compile a kernel-module on / for VM Server to get a working environment to compile modules.
Now get the driver for the unsupported card from ftp://61.56.86.122/cn/nic/r8168-8.008.00.tar.bz2 .
Unpack the file by running;:
tar -jxvf r8168-8.008.00.tar.bz2
Now follow the steps in the included readme file to compile and install the driver.
After this I edited the file /etc/modules.conf and changed the line
alias eth0 xxx
to
alias eth0 r8168
I then turned of the machine and removed my temporary network card.
When booted I ran system-config-network to configure the network once more to the original values I entered when I installed.

The Help Tab (OSX ML) where you search for something does not work

If I click "Help" and then search "expand" it will show me where expand is. But in CS6 when I clicked it the command would go through and pull up the page to expand pixels. Instead, I have to go find it. It works in every other Adobe app I use except Photoshop CC.
I am on the latest version and on CC

Hi Peter
Thanks a lot for your help (and sorry for not having answered quicker, but my boss gave me a more urgent task last week...).
Anyway, I did what you suggested (re-importing into a brand new project), and then the search for synonyms really worked! But, being a sceptical person, I did the same with another project, and with that one, it did not work. So, what I did next was compare all the settings of these two projects, and I found a difference.
RH8 now contains a function that's called 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' (I don't know the English expression, but have a look at the attached picture: this is a screen shot from the second page when I generate WebHelp). After having done several tests, I came to the following conclusions:
Search for synonyms does not work in HTML-Help, but it does work in WebHelp (and maybe others, but they are not relevant for me, so I did not test them);
Search for synonyms does only work, when the function 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' is NOT activated.
Could maybe somebody test this, too, and post here whether my conclusions are really correct?
Btw: This fact is not mentioned in the RH-Manual; actually, this function 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' is not even mentioned there (at least not in the German edition)!!!
Can hardly wait to see your feedback; thanks again for everybody's support!

When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store".

Your Apple ID may be greyed out because of restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Changes>Accounts. If you set that restriction, your ID will be greyed out. Nobody can make changes to the account without entering the passcode to change disable the restriction.
Maybe something in here will help, even though this is not exactly what you are experiencing.

Can I get Siri to ask for confirmation, before making a call to someone?

Is it possible to get Siri to ask for confirmation before making a call, or delete the option completely of making a call with Siri, as I am right now avoiding using Siri completely, because it keeps calling up the wrong people, often making accidental transatlantic calls. Even when I am not even trying to make a call of any kind.

No. I got no answers. i have just stopped using a headset where I accidentally activated Siri often.
I just tested Siri again to see if the updates have helped, and with in 3 tests, it had made an transatlantic call while I was trying to do an email, so I guess not. If Apple could at least just program into it, that Siri should ask for confirmation, something like "Do you want me to call Andrew?

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Get a USB drive of 2TB or more.. assuming your TC is 2TB. Either preformatted Mac or plug into your Mac and format it standard Mac OS Extended Journaled in disk utility.
Do a full archive of the TC. You do this using airport utility. Do not click the erase disk.. I marked in green.. just the archive.. that is to backup the internal disk to the USB disk. It is not fast.. take it that the process will go at around 40-50GB/hr.
Once you complete the archive .. it is a direct image of the data on your TC.. you can then plug it into your computer directly.. and then try and open the files you lost.. if you cannot open them.. open disk utility and fix the permissions.
http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/13/repair-disk-permissions-mac-os-x/
Or try the methods apple recommends..
OS X Yosemite: Set permissions for items on your Mac
It is possible to fix things on the USB drive because it is locally mounted.. but you cannot fix it on TC which is network drive.

Follow-up posting flow type Credit for 870 does not exist

Hi SAP,
I am having a problem when try to recalculate cash flow in FO38. System popup error Message no. 62179 (Follow-up posting flow type Credit for 870 does not exist). The error details is like this:
Diagnosis
You have changed the data in such a way that follow-up postings have resulted.
No follow-up posting flow type has been defined for Credit for the flow type 870. A proposed flow type for flow type 3NCH has not been defined either.
System Response
Processing cannot be continued without the flow type.
Procedure
Contact your system administrator.
Procedure for the system administrator
Check and correct the settings for the reference flow type for follow-up postings in Customizing as required.
Is there any setting in configuration Txn SPRO should i do? Will give points for those who help me out this problem.
TQ
Regards,
Nazrul

Hi Nazrul,
yes, there are reference flow types missing for follow-up postings. Follow-up postings are created if condition amounts have been changed and that affects already posted items in the cash flow. In this case follow-up postings are generated. For the follow-up postings the system uses special flow types that have to be maintained in customizing.
SPRO - Real Estate - Conditions, Flow Types, Account Determination - Maintain Flow Types - Assign Reference Flow Types
Relevant relationship keys are:
2 IS-RE: Follow-up postings due to condition incr.
32 IS-RE: Follow-up posting due to condition reduct.
You have to assign reference flow types for these relationship keys.
This should help.
Regards, Franz
