Forgot to add that it would be an adjustment layer with some kind of mask on it already. The mask is uncentered when copy and pasted which throws it off.
I guess the same question would go towards doing the same for an object. How to copy and paste it over to a new doc, keeping its position within the document? is this possible?

Yes. Matching Songs in Vinyl Albums is possible, usually though with a success rate of 20 - 40%.
Even with great care taken to improve the quality of the recording, the outcome is mixed.

How to deal with file dir? what format of dir should be?

Hi Kamlesh,
Thanks for your response.
Actually, In the "Process External Bank Statement" window, i see that there are few entries which is for the previous year and which has not been reconciled. I have never worked practically on BRS and hence, i am scared to make any changes in the clients database without being confident on what i am doing. I need to reconcile for one of their Bank a/c for the month of April '08. I have the copy of the statements for the month ending 31st Mar 08 and 30th Apr 08. The closing balances are as below:
31/03/08 - 2300000.00
30/04/08 - 3100000.00
Now my OB for Bank a/c for April '08 in SAP is 2300000.00 Dr.
When i go to External Bank Reconciliation - Selection Criteria Screen (Manual Reconciliation), here are the detail that i enter:
Last Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000 (Grayed out by the system)
Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000 (Entered by me)
End Date: 30/04/08 (Entered by me)
"Reconciliation Bank Statement" Screen opens up and shows the below balances in the screen:
Cleared Book Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000
Statement Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000
Difference: INR 3,800,000.00000
As per the Bank statement, i have found all the transactions listed out here for the month of Apr '08 but, i also found that the open transactions for the previous month from April '08 have been lying in "Process External Bank Statement" window.
Could you please help me solve my issue as to what needs to be done or could you also get me some links from where i can get few documents for processing External Bank Reconciliations?
That will be of a great help for me. I need steps as to what needs to be done first and then the next so that i can arrive at the correct closing balance for the month April '08.
Thanks in Advance....

SAP transaction iview of GUI for html never works

Hi All,
We are implementing ESS/MSS on EP 7.0, ECC 6.0, ESS/MSS 600 landscapes for India Country grouping.
There are few SAP transaction iviews of type GUI for html and we tied up those to ESS Overview homepage framworks.
However, each of these transaction iviews throws the same error messages as below :
Error when processing your request
What has happened?
The URL http://hostname.domain:8001/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/system/sl/page/menubase.html was not called due to an error.
The following error text was processed in the system TD1 : This function is not possible
The error occurred on the application server TCSCQ1_TD1_01 and in the work process 0 .
The termination type was: ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:

Method: EXECUTE_REQUEST of program CL_HTTP_SERVER================CP
Function: HTTP_DISPATCH_REQUEST of program SAPLHTTP_RUNTIME
Module: %_HTTP_START of program SAPMHTTP.
I have activated all of the ITS services from sicf transaction. Published all of the services (global, webdui, webdui_start, system, shuffler) to internal.
I also executed the Webgui service from sicf tcode. But, still the same error message persists. Am I missed any settings for Integrated ITS ?
When I enabled option (Display a notification about every script error) from IE options, the system keeps on giving the mesage 'window.wgu.global.eventhandler' is null or not an object, wgu.ObjEventHandler' is undefined etc.,
I have noticed that none of the ITS services never work.
I would appreciate if anyone can shade some light regarding this issue. Any guidance or inputs in this context would be of greatfully help.

Can Mobile Me users change to Lion without doing anything special? For example, how will Calendars, Mail, etc. function if all are now synced with Mobile Me?

Presently, our Mail, Calendars, etc. are being synced using Mobile Me accounts. Considering all of the changes coming to Calendars, etc. with Lion, anything special to do before / during a change to Lion?

Hi
If you already have a Mobile Me account it will work with Lion until you change to iCloud or June 2012, which ever comes first...
Calanders, Contacts, Mail, Notes will become part of iCloud when launched (in the very near future), your iDisk, Photo Gallery and iWeb hosting will cease when you register for iCloud or in June 2012. So if you use the features of Mobileme that will cease to be, carry on using Mobileme for as long as possible.

FOR THE DEVELOPERS OF ADOBE: The autoscroll/autozoom function does nit work on Yosemite/ Illustrator, Indesign CC 2014.1.0.... in safari for example it works the scrolling.

Just wanted to help;)

I ran into this issue today. I wanted to copy text into an email – however I pasted it it stayed uneditable.
The workaround was to open Text Edit and use the menu item 'paste and match style' (Command+Option+Shift+V) which pastes it as editable text. Then copy and paste that into mail.
What a pain.
If I try 'paste and match style' directly in mail from illustrator it pastes as a flipping pdf.

To prepare my iPad for repair (speaker works intermittently), I started the "Erase All Content and Settings" (as instructed) over 14 hours ago. It's a 16GB iPad that was pretty full... how long should it take for the resetting to complete?

??

What happens is that the weaker the battery, the less time it takes it to charge (and run down) because it doesn't take long to reach its lowered maximum capacity.
Although I never worry about my battery and leave my portables plugged in most of the time, that isn't necessarily the best thing for the battery.

AIR for iOS app works perfectly in emulator, not at all on an actual iPad

I'm new to mobile development, so I'm hoping I am doing some simple wrong, like a wrong checked box or something.
I have an app that I have written for iPad. It's fully functioning when I run it through the emulator (I have to change it to Flash 10.1 and use Device Emulator because nothing else will accept touch events) but doesn't really work on the iPad. Some of the features work, and some don't. It's like it's just not quite compiling all the code, and I'm very confused.
My publish settings:
Player: AIR for iOS
Script: Actionscript 3.0
Included .swf, .xml, and all relevant .as class files
Published using quick publish for device testing
Are there some AS 3.0 features that won't work in iOS? If so it would be really great to have a list of those somewhere.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't my app work on an actual device if it tests perfectly in the emulator?

My original question has not been answered, but I am running across the same problem in a different way.
I have added to my code, continuing to build the app, (hoping the problem can be solved eventually), and once again, the app works perfectly in Device Central but not on the iPad.
I have buttons to select different levels of the puzzle. Each time you press a button, the level automatically updates itself on the board. So if you are playing the shape level, the shape of the puzzle piece is on the board. If you are playing the name level, the name of the puzzle piece is on the board. Etc.
This works perfectly on my computer. However - again - when I transfer it to an iPad, choosing the "shape" level will cause the names to pop up.
I have double and triple checked the variable names to make sure they match up and are correctly spelled and capitalized. It just doesn't function in iOS.
Here is the code to switch levels and automatically generate a new random puzzle piece:
function changeLevel (e:TouchEvent): void {
 trackUSAPiece = ["pieceAL", "pieceAK", "pieceAZ", "pieceAR", "pieceCA", "pieceCO", "pieceCT", "pieceDE", "pieceFL", "pieceGA", "pieceHI", "pieceID", "pieceIL", "pieceIN", "pieceIA", "pieceKS", "pieceKY", "pieceLA", "pieceME", "pieceMD", "pieceMA", "pieceMI", "pieceMN", "pieceMS", "pieceMO", "pieceMT", "pieceNE", "pieceNV", "pieceNH", "pieceNJ", "pieceNM", "pieceNY", "pieceNC", "pieceND", "pieceOH", "pieceOK", "pieceOR", "piecePA", "pieceRI", "pieceSC", "pieceSD", "pieceTN", "pieceTX", "pieceUT", "pieceVT", "pieceVA", "pieceWA", "pieceWV", "pieceWI", "pieceWY"]
 if (e.target == nameLevel) {
 PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel = "Name";
 nameLevel.gotoAndStop("Active");
 abbrevLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
 shapeLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
 for (var j=0; j<(PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA); j++) {
 this[trackUSAPiece[j]].gotoAndStop("wholeName");
 else if (e.target == abbrevLevel) {
 PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel = "Abbrev";
 abbrevLevel.gotoAndStop("Active");
 nameLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
 shapeLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
 for (var k=0; k<(PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA); k++) {
 this[trackUSAPiece[k]].gotoAndStop("abbrev");
 else if (e.target == shapeLevel) {
 PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel = "Shape";
 shapeLevel.gotoAndStop("Active");
 nameLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
 abbrevLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
 for (var l=0; l<(PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA); l++) {
 this[trackUSAPiece[l]].gotoAndStop("shape");
function addNewPiece (e:TouchEvent): void {
 ri = Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA));
 if (PuzzleGlobals.statesOnBoardUSA == PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA) {
 //play BOOP sound indicating no new pieces left
 else {
 if (usaPiece[ri] != null) {
 bmc.addChild(this[usaPiece[ri]]);
 if (PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel == "Shape") {
 this[usaPiece[ri]].height = this[usaPuzzle[ri]].height;
 this[usaPiece[ri]].width = this[usaPuzzle[ri]].width;
 this[usaPiece[ri]].x = e.stageX;
 this[usaPiece[ri]].y = e.stageY;
 usaPiece[ri] = null;
 PuzzleGlobals.statesOnBoardUSA++;
 else {
 addNewPiece(e);
Here is the code that creates the piece:
 public function GeoPiece(): void {
 if (PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel == "Name") {
 this.gotoAndStop("wholeName");
 else if (PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel == "Abbrev") {
 this.gotoAndStop("abbrev");
 else if (PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel == "Shape") {
 this.gotoAndStop("shape");
 this.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, geoPieceBegin);
Is it possible I have a bad compiler or something? Do I need to reinstall the entire program? I just can't figure out why it would work in one operating system and not in another.
Thanks

Time Capsule port mapping is broken for L2TP Servers behind NAT config.

I'm hoping that someone here can refute the below bug assertion... am I missing something?
There is a bug with Apple’s Time Capsule/Airport Express Base Station (TC/AEBS) rendering L2TP servers on the LAN unusable:
When TC/AEBS is used as a router providing NAT services to the LAN, it will NOT under any circumstance provide port mapping services for 500/UDP, 1701/UDP, & 4500/UDP making L2TP VPN servers on the LAN side of TC/AEBS are unreachable from the WAN/Internet side.
*The conditions for my tests*:
3 different external networks used for all tests: MacBook Air at home on TWC network, the Air on AT&T mobile dongle, & CentOS server at ThePlanet.
MobileMe configuration was removed from both the TC/AEBS & Snow Leopard Server on the LAN.
I used port 501 for my control-test; spot checks of other ports worked as well, though they were all < 10000.
Simultaneous local and server monitoring of port traffic using
tcpdump -vvv -i en0 -s 0 -X port 500 or port 1701 or port 4500 or port 501
The TC/AEBS was configured to forward UDP ports 501, 500, 1701, & 4500 received from the WAN interface to the Snow Leopard Server on the LAN.
The port forwarding was accomplished both 1) manually via AirPort Utility, and 2) automatically via Snow Leopard Server’s Server Preferences utility. Each was tested separately.
*The tests*:
Netcat with the following commands, in turn, on the server:
nc -l -u 501
nc -l -u 500
nc -l -u 1700
nc -l -u 4500
which causes traffic to the udp port specified to be dumped to std out. Provides a confirmation of the tcpdump output.
On the various external networks, nc -u WAN-address-of-AEBS.example.com 501 to send UDP packets on port 501. The output of the nc -l 501 command and the server-run tcpdump confirmed that packets left the client and made it to the server as expected. Remember, 501 is the control-test.
For each test permutation on ports 500, 1700, & 4500, no packets made it to the server.
Based on some web research, I’m not the only one to have found trouble with this configuration, but I haven’t been able to find any conclusive tests.
I’ve filed a bug with Apple (#7720101) and encourage you to do the same.

Confirmed here. This only seems to be a problem with Airport 7.5.x firmware though - I find the older TCs running 7.4.2 work as expected even with BTMM / MobileMe services active.
I'm so glad you posted this - I haven't found it mentioned anywhere else and was beginning to feel very alone with this problem. I also found that having two TC 7.5s in the mix - one at both ends - also results in no response to SSH or Remote Desktop ports.

What antivirus is better for those who work with mac and windows?

In my home I use an iMac, but in college I use Windows, and more than once I found an infected file. I know not affect iMac, but I prefer that viruses are removed. Right now I use ClamXv, but I don't know if it is effective.
Am I to continue using ClamXv? or, do I use another?
If there are others better AV for mac, what is most recommended?
**I have also used Sophos, but it makes the iMac go very slow.
Thanks for your attention.

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to your computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandboxing security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders," for example, are outside the safe harbor, though not all are malware.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
There is an increasing tendency for rogue websites such as "Softonic" and "CNET Download" to distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous installer that also installs malware or something else that you don't want. Never visit those sites, and get all freeware directly from the developer's own site whenever possible.
Software attached to email that you didn't request is unsafe, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
Software advertised by means of spam is unsafe.
Unknown "free" software that a stranger on the Internet is eager for you to download is unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will inevitably result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Doing any of the things alluded to above should make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. New threats are emerging on a daily basis. Research has shown that most successful attacks are "zero-day" — that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based malware scanners do not defend against such attacks.
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not completely effective. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular trojan it is, but do you really care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every unknown email attachment until proven otherwise.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. "Hmmmm, this torrent is a crack of that new game I want. I think I'll download it. It could be a trojan, but the antivirus will warn me if it is." Then they wonder why their Mac is so slow all of a sudden. It's slow because it's running flat out mining bitcoins for a hacker who has already sold their credit card number and banking passwords to a criminal gang. Maybe a week later the antivirus does warn them, but what good does that do?
Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

[Solved] GDM Login requires 2 attempts, Gnome "gksu" never works

Hi all,
I am running a fully up-to-date Arch linux install with Gnome shell.
It was working fine before Easter, however, on returning, after a full update, I now have to enter my password twice when logging in.
The first attempt pauses like an incorrect password, however, when left nothing happens. Then if I press cancel and log in again it is fine.
Further, the gnome shell dialogues for priviledge elevation, like for gparted, never work. Instead I have to run sudo gparted or gksu gparted from terminal.
It is very similar to this thread from last year:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=173585
Except that I have been running this Arch install since October and have only just come across this problem.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Anthony

Try this and the solution I posted there. It *seems* to be the same issue.
Good luck!
Edit: forgot the link...
Sorry for the delay replying - haven't been in my office for a while so couldn't test anything / get logs. That fixed it, thanks!!!
# pacman -S gdk-pixbuf2
It was already installed and up-to-date but reinstalling and rebooting seemed to fix everything
Cheers both of you for your time
