Call/Privacy setting doesn't allow me to select al...
Hello Skype users,
I’m having some issue with my Privacy/Call setting with my Skype number.Everything was working fine last month but I start noticing a decrease in calls. I’m able to call using my Skype number but cannot receive any calls. I tried calling my Skype number using my cell phone but receive a busy tone.
I went ahead and checked my setting and notice my call setting was allowed to receive calls from "phone number in my contact list only". I wanted to change the setting but unable because it seems like the option is disable (nothing on the page is highlighted).
I did more search and figure that it was something to do with my privacy setting. I reselected allow calls to “anyone” and hit save but once I close the Skype window, the allow calls from was switched over to "phone number in my contact list only" Every time I tried saving to allow calls from “anyone”, it automatically switched back to "phone number in my contact list only".
Any help will be appreciated.

How can I access Preferences when monitor setting doesn't allow it?
I hooked up, via HDMI, my MiniMac to my 42" TV. All the menus & icons are so far out on the periferies, that I can't access them to go to Preferences>Display to change the monitor settings. Is there some way to gain access to Preferences>Display so I can change the monitor setting, even though the choice is not on the screen?
Don't know if this will work with your keyboard, but it's worth a try -
With Finder active (click a bare patch of desktop to make it so) press Command-Shift-/ (that's the slash key to the right of the period key). This is the standard keyboard shortcut to engage (open) the Help menu. In the search box in that screen (assuming it is visible) type "change brightness" (without quotes) and then press Return.
If this works, near the top of the items returned will be one named "Adjusting your display's brightness" - click it. In the new screen near the bottom center will be a link named "Open the Display pane of Displays preferences" - click it, and the Displays preference pane should open.
Sounds convoluted, but it gets you there. -
Mail search in iOS 7 doesn't allow me to select messages from results for Exchange account
I perform an Exchange mailbox search and after getting the results I tap on Edit to select some of the messages from the listed search results but I can't select any and the options for Move, Delete and Mark are greyed out.
If I do the search on the Gmail mailbox instead, the selection circle is available, I can select individual messages and the options for moving, etc. are all available.OK - unless a miracle happens in the next 5-10 minutes - apple's current stance on this is that we (corporate users) are going to have to work on this problem on our side of it!
I asked - so you expect hundreds, thousands of server admins (internal employee supported and hosted) to change their settings for you - rather than you changing the way the search app works? Response was YES!!!!
They recognize that it is happening as a result of the 'expanded' search functionality, that WE asked for. Uh-hum it was working before and not now - don't think we asked for that.
They say that they have no intention of fixing what's broken in the app. They consider it to not be broken - but rather improved. WOW!
They are CLEARLY catering to the 'hey where you gonna be tonight' crowd - rather than the 'We need to meet up at 3:00pm to go over these final plans so that I can authorize the next phase of building.' and the 'Go ahead and plan for the 2 mergers we discussed to move forward - I am canceling the third, though' crowd.
Yes - I am venting.....
I am supposedly being transferred to the 'enterprise support team' now. Tech tells me I never mentioned that it was an 'enterprise' issue. I'm like - really - exchange account - and I mentioned the corporate impact of the problem from the beginning. Anyway - we'll see where I get.
Just FYI - their search tool is supposedly returning these results because ALL of our servers are searching and seeing a server setting that allows it to search historical info ON the server. He says it happened this way in io6 - but it did not (thus we searched fine before and not now). I have two users (iPhone 5) who upgraded and have the problem - and one user (iPhone 5) who has not upgraded and does not have the problem.
OK - just got off the phone with apple. I was just transferred to the enterprise team - who said that rackspace could pay $700 and then apple would look into the problem. No, I am not joking. I recommend that you all continue to post your problems with the mail search as often as possible - and hopefully apple will take some responsibility and fix the issue on the app side - rather than asking us to all supposedly fix it on the server side.
I am contacting my exchange server admin to see if there is in fact a setting that will 'fix' the ghosting of the emails. If there is in fact a server side work around - I will post back. If apple gets smart and decides that fixing broken corporate features matters to them - I will also post back.

Save as Plug-in dialog box doesn't allow me to select anything but "Finder"
I'm trying to make a folder action that takes any images and imports them to iPhoto. Automator isn't letting me save my script as as anything but a Finder plug-in. Is this normal?
This is an old topic at this point, but I ran into this same problem. I logged in as another user and the problem didn't appear.
On a whim I changed permissions on the contents of the ~/Library/Workflows/Applications folder by typing:
chmod 777 *
and then quitting and restarting Automator. Now the plugin dialog box isn't greyed out. -

My hotmail access disappeared from my iPad. When I go to settings and click 'mail, contacts, calendars' the page freezes. It doesn't allow me to the account setting. Anyone have suggestions?
Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again. -

When trying to download an app on my iPad 3 it asks my to create and answer 3 questions. I can complete the first 2 but the system doesn't allow me to complete the 3rd question! Can anyone help.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices) -

Privacy setting on laptop wireless network
If I'm on my macbook laptop and accessing wireless in a cafe or wherever.....is my data totally privacy-protected if I disable automatic login and set a password?
Your hosting company probably told you not to tick it because they don't offer SSL. I know my hosting company doesn't either. I got round it by using my mac mini as an email server. It would download all the email and I only ever connect to it using a personal test certificate (to allow SSL). So while there is a point where my password is sent unencrypted (which I can't do much about if I stay with my hosting provider) it is all through wired connections at least.
Just to say as well, if you bought an iPad you may want to consider using IMAP (which might be best done by doing as I did). With POP you download the emails locally onto whatever machine and then unless you explicitly say not to it deletes the email from the server. So reading email on your iPad would then make certain messages unviewable on your own machine.
How my setup works is as follows, I use software I got from Cutedge Systems. Basically he creates an easy to use interface to existing software present in OS X. So you're paying to avoid lot of configuration editing and starting of services. MailServe turns my Mac Mini into an email server which picks up email from my hosting company. I then use his DNS Enabler to ensure that when my laptop is connected to my own network that the DynDNS I use get the internal IP address rather than the public one. The result is I connect x.dyndns.org and no matter if I'm in my own network or using somebody else's it resolves to the correct IP address. It's all set up to allow IMAP meaning that no matter what device I use I always see the same mailboxes. I have a fairly reliable broadband connection so it works well for me. -
LVOOP "call parent method" doesn't work when used in sibling VI
It seems to me that the "call parent method" doesn't work properly according to the description given in the LabVIEW help.
I have two basic OOP functions I am doing examples for. I can get one to work easily and the other one is impossible.
Background
There are 3 basic situations in which you could use the "call parent method"
You are calling the parent VI (or method) of a child VI from within the child VI
You are calling the parent VI (or method) of a child VI from within a sibling VI
You are calling the parent VI (or method) of a child VI from a different class/object.
From the LabVIEW help system for "call parent method":
Calls the nearest ancestor implementation of a class method. You can use the Call Parent Method node only on the block diagram of a member VI that belongs to a class that inherits member VIs from an ancestor class. The child member VI must be a dynamic dispatching member VI and have the same name as the ancestor member VI
From my reading of that it means situation 3 is not supported but 1 & 2 should be.
Unfortunately only Situation 1 works in LabVIEW 2012.
Here is what I want
And this is what I actually get
What this means is that I can perform a classic "Extend Method" where a child VI will use the parent's implementation to augment it's functions BUT I cannot perform a "Revert Method" where I call the parent method's implementation rather than the one that belongs to the object.
If you want a picture
Any time I try and make operation2 the VI with the "call parent method" it shows up for about 1/2 sec and then turns into operation.
So there are only 3 possibilities I can see
Bug
Neither situation 2 or 3 are intended to work (see above) and the help is misleading
I just don't know what I am doing (and I am willing to accept this if someone can explain it to me)
The downside is that if situation 2 above doesn't work it does make the "call parent node" much less usefull AND it's usage/application just doesn't make sense. You cannot just drop the "call parent node" on a diagram, it only works if you have an existing VI and you perform a replace. If you can only perform situation 1 (see above) then you should just drop the "call parent node" and it picks up the correct VI as there is only 1 option. Basically if situation 2 is not intended to work then the way you apply "call parent method" doesn't make sense.
Attachements:
For the really keen I have included 2 zip files
One is the "Revert Method labVIEW project" which is of course not working properly because it wants to "call parent method" on operation not operation2
The other zip file is all pictures with a PIN for both "Revert Method" and "Extend Method" so you can see the subtle but important differences and pictrures of the relavant block diagrams including what NI suggested to me as the original fix for this problem but wasn't (they were suggesting I implement Extend Method).
If you are wondering where I got the names, concepts and PIN diagrams from see:

Call parent node fault.zip 356 KB
Call parent node fault.zip 356 KBHi tst,
Thankyou for your reply. Can you have a look at my comments below on the points you make.
1) Have to disagree on that one. The help is unfortunately not clear. The part you quote in your reply only indicates that the VI you are applying "Call Parent Node" to must be dynamic dispatch. There is nowhere in the help it actually states that the call parent node applies to the VI of the block diagram it is placed into. Basically case 2 in my example fulfills all that the help file requires of it. The dynamic dispatch VI's operation are part of a class that inherits from a given ancestor. Operation 2 for Reverted behaviour is a child VI that is dynamic dispatch and has the same name as the ancestor VI (operation2). The help is missing one important piece of information and should be corrected.
2) True it does work this way. I was trying to build case 2 and had not yet built my ancestor DD for operation so the function dropped but wasn't associated with any VI. I was able to do this via a replace (obviously once the ancestor Vi was built) so this one is just bad operator
3) Keep in mind this is an example not my end goal. I have a child implementation because this is a case where I am trying to do a "reverse override" if you like.
3a) The point of the example is to override an objects method (operation2) with it's parent's method NOT it's own. The reason there is a child implementation with specific code is to prove that the parent method is called not the one that relates to the object (child's VI). If I start having to put case structures into the child VI I make the child VI have to determine which code to execute. The point of Revert method is to take this function out of the method that is doing the work. (Single Use Principal and encapsulation)
3b) The VI I am calling is a Dynamic Dispatch VI. That means if I drop the superclass's VI onto the child's block diagram it will become the child's implementation. Basically I can't use Dynamic Dispatch in this case at all. It would have to be static. That then means I have to put in additional logic unless there is some way to force a VI to use a particular version of a DD VI (which I can't seem to find).
Additional Background
One of the uses for "Revert Method" is in versioning.
I have a parent Version1 implementation of something and a child Version2. The child uses Version2 BUT if it fails the error trapping performs a call to Version1.
LabVIEW has the possibility of handling the scenario but only if both Case 1 and Case 2 work. It would actually be more useful if all 3 cases worked.
The advantage of the call parent method moving one up the tree means I don't have the track what my current object is and choose from a possible list, if, for example the hierarchy is maybe 5 levels deep. (so V4 calls V3 with a simple application of "call parent method" rather than doing additional plumbing with case structures that require care and feeding). Basically the sort of thing OOP is meant to help reduce. Anything that doesn't allow case 2 or 3 means you have to work around the limitation from a software design perspective.
If at the end of the day Case 2 and case 3 don't and won't ever work then the help file entry needs to be fixed.
All the best

How to call a set method from within a constructor
Hello,
I want to be able to call a set method from within a Scanner, to be used as the argument to pass to the Scanner (from a source file). Here's what i tried:
private void openFiles()
input = new Scanner( setSource );
and here is the set method:
public String setSource( String in )
source = in;
return source;
}obviously there will be more code in this method but i'm trying to tackle one problem at a time. Thanks in advance..The "String in" declaration says: "Nobody may ever invoke setSource() without specifying a certain String. The content of the String is known at run-time only."
In no place in your code you say the compiler: "I want the 'in' variable (actually, parameter) of method setSource() to contain the first arg which is passed to the application".
This is exactly the same mechanism allowing you to write "new Scanner" with something inside the two parentheses. -
Migration Assistant doesn't allow me to choose what drive.
Well, I got my new computer. I tried to migrate a drive from my old computer using Migration Assistant. and it doesn't allow me to choose what drive.
In my old computer I have 5 drives. The original HD (was 10GB, was replaced last year by a 40 GB) and on my Hitachi 250 GB drive that I added 2 years ago, there's a partition with 4 drives.
I wanted to migrate one particular drive from there (called Current work).
First I did a mistake. I connected both computer via the firewire in the afternoon when there was enough daylight so I don't have to do it later at night (the computers are under the table.) I thought it's OK since I'm not pushing any button yet ("migrate now", "transfer", and such).
I turned on the new computer and a message appeared: you must restart.
That's strange, I said to myself. it's a brand new computer. Usually It says that when there's a problem, but OK I restart and when it's back on, I see that my external drive (Neptune from OWC which was still hooked up in the old computer) is on the desktop. And it took just a few seconds. I open it and all the files, etc. are there. It did copy the whole external drive !
I'm not an computer expert but I believe the Mac Pro did notice that's there's a firewire hooked up and then, without asking me, migrated the external drive and that's why it asked me to restart. I would have prefer if it tells me "restart so migration can begin".
I don't mind for now that my external drive is on my new computer. I can always erase it if I don't want it. It is still external right ? so it doesn't intrude on the 640 GB of my HD so I just keep it.
But it also copied/migrate Mac HD 40 GB which is full of OS 9 and I almost never use it anymore. I don't want it coz it has applications and they advise not to migrate applications (certainly not applications with issues).
They say migrate folders, settings but re-install applications.
And it migrated also another drive called "Scratch" which has only personal date no system, no software.
Anyway, I erased everything and re-installed using the Install disk that came with the computer.
BTW, what they say in the manual (p. 90: Re-installing the software that came with your Mac Pro) is different than what really happens.
They say insert disk, double- click on Install and then click options in the "Select a destination" pane of the installer. Then click "erase and install" Problem is: there's no "Select a destination" pane. Or any options.
I had to go to Disk utility and erase, then re-install OS X.
Then re-install the applications using "Install applications" (the other disc that came with the computer. )
OK, I did that. Then while everything is empty, new, I used Migration Assistant.
Now here is the reason why I post this.
They say hold T key until you see a firewire icon then select a drive. I can't see when there's an icon coz I have only one monitor, so I just hold and hold the T-key and turn on the old computer. The screen shows "waiting for you other computer to restart" 2 min.... 5 min... 7 min. Nothing happens. I stop holding.
I look at the desktop and I see that the icon of the old 40 GIG Mac HD is there. (and I believe with a firewire logo, but not sure about that.)
I have the impression that if I kept the T-key longer it would have migrate the other drives as well.
They say keep the T-key down until you see the firewire (then let go I suppose. As I said I don't see what's going on on the desktop of my old computer so I kept the T-key for a few minutes. I also tried another time to let go after 1-2 min. No difference.
I shut down the new comp. and the old computer screen appears automatically (both are connected to the monitor; the old with analog port, the new with digital port) and sure enough the firewire icon is moving on the screen.
I go back to the new computer and put the old 40 GIG Mac HD in the trash. Actually, when it touched the trash, I just saw an eject icon and the drive disappear. Did not go in the trash which is empty. So I guess I ejected, not sure what's the difference but I looked for it to see if it's anywhere in the computer. Could not find it. Not in the HD, not in the desktop. Good, I don't want it there. Is it hidden somewhere ?
So I tried again but wondering perhaps the old computer should RESTART not turn on (it was off) so now I wait until it's on, then push restart. I hear the gong when it shuts off but that's it, no other gong when it comes back. I keep the T-key. But nothing happened. Just see the message "waiting for your other computer to restart"
PS: BTW Target mode (which seems to me similar to Migrating with "Migration Assistant") will not work for me because it must be SATA, mine is ATA.
I didn't try but read that it has to be SATA.
Is it the same ? In migrating they say hold down the T-key (T for target)
And how come that my 40GB HD which is ATA did migrate (not that I wanted too but still).
Also, this drive ("Current Work") that I want to migrate to the new computer is in my external drive. Can't I just drag it ? If it has only personal data, files and folders I know I can, but It has system (OS X) and applications. It's the one I use and boot on, in my old G4 but I want to transfer Files and folders and settings, so the new computer will know what are my Safari preferences, Automatic fill-in, and perhaps it will move my iTunes music Library too ?
Basically everything except applications. Although I would like my Nikon scanner to be in the new computer as well as the LaCie DVD recorder but I guess I can do that later, separately ?
What are the settings or info I need ? Because if it's just Safari preferences, automatic fill-in and other such small thing, it might be better to just do it again in the new comp and forget about the hassle of migrating.Try getting into Windows and then plugging in the Superdrive. The drive will only be attached to one OS or the other, not both.

Copying text in Reader 9 in pdf that was set to not allow copy in Acrobat 8
i have acrobat 8 professional and set a document to be password protected and not allow copying of selected text.
in Reader 9 i am able to select and copy text after providing the password.
why doesn't Reader 9 honor all the secuity set in Acrobat 8? seems like a gaping security hole. and i have one not very happy client.yes, i presume that is true.
the viewers are already bound by an NDA, so the attempt is to just put up reasonable barriers to the easy grabbing of proprietary information.
as we all know, there are lots of ways people can steal information regardless of the safeguards, but hopefully a combination of reasonable safeguards, contractual compliance, authenticated and logged access, and choosing partners wisely will minimize the chances for real losses. -
