Can I "unpair" my dock from my remote?

I recently purchased a dock for my 5th generation ipod. I have no intentions of using the remote that came with my iMac for the dock. I will only use it to control Front Row. It's annoying to have my iPod respond to the remote when I'm trying to control Front Row. Can I program my iPod/dock to ignore my remote? Thanks

While it seems you can pair an iPod dock with a specific remote (see this article), I can't see any way to make the dock ignore another remote without pairing it to a specific remote of its own. I think your best bet would be to cover up the IR receiver on the dock or maybe turn the dock around. IR signals need a line-of-sight to work.

HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

I can't access my server from a remote PC

I can access a mac mini running snow leopard from remote Macs but I cannot access it from a remote PC. Are there special ports that need to be opened on the router to permit this?

Access how? ssh? telnet? Server Admin? screen sharing? File sharing?
If it's screen sharing as I might guess, that's VNC, and VNC works the same on both Windows and Mac. There are differences around authentication settings, but the IP ports are the same.
(Please Google the forums for previous discussions of using VNC from Windows to Mac, too. Depending on what tools you're using for VNC, see, for instance, this thread.)
if it's file sharing, then it's usually either via Windows SMB or Apple AFP. Running either of these over the open Internet is not something I'd recommend. I'd suggest using a VPN to connect to your server or to your firewall. Using VNC over a VPN is a good idea, too.
If it's file sharing, and depending on which Windows version you're using, there are settings you'll want to tweak. Here are some settings for interoperation using SMB.

How can I stop my dock from rearranging the apps by itself?

I just received my iMac from FedEx today and got it all set up, but whenever I try to rearrange the icons on my dock, about 5-10 seconds later they just rearrange themselves randomly or sometimes go back to their previous location before I moved them myself.
I never had these problems with Snow Leopard on my last mac so I'm just wondering if this is a bug or if anybody has a fix for it. I found a suggestion to go to ~Library/Preferences and delete 'com.apple.preferences.plist' but I couldn't find it in that folder or anywhere on my local HD for that matter.
If anyone has any other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Lion hides your Library folder. You can get to it via the Finder Go menu, Go To Folder, and entering ~/Library or ~/Library/Preferences depending on where you want to go.
As for the dock thing, I realize you have a new system, but have you installed any third party additions at this point? Or is this still a "pristine", as-shipped version of Lion?
The plist you may want to remove is,
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
i.e., that plist in your home directory Preferences. Log out and back in after you remove that plist.

How can I restore my dock from a backup after doing a clean install?

I restored the dock plist file as well as the db file (which I had to delete the original first, since it was "in use") but the standard dock remains.

I haven't tried this myself, but I'm guessing that the Dock writes its settings back to disk when it quits, overwriting what's in the restored files. There are two ways you might work around this:
Restore the files, then in the shell enter
killall -9 Dock
If that doesn't work, enter
launchctl remove com.apple.Dock.agent
Restore the files, then log out and log back in.

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

How can I put an output stream (HTML) from a remote process on my JSF page

Hello,
I've a question if someone could help.
I have a jsf application that need to execute some remote stuff on a different process (it is a SAS application). This remote process produces in output an html table that I want to display in my jsf page.
So I use a socket SAS class for setting up a server socket in a separate thread. The primary use of this class is to setup a socket listener, submit a command to a remote process (such as SAS) to generate a data stream (such as HTML or graphics) back to the listening socket, and then write the contents of the stream back to the servlet stream.
Now the problem is that I loose my jsf page at all. I need a suggestion if some one would help, to understand how can I use this html datastream without writing on my Servlet output stream.
Thank you in advance
A.
Just if you want to look at the details .....
// Create the remote model
com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface si =
(com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface)
rocf.newInstance(com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface.class, connection);
// Create a work dataset
String stmt = "data work.foo;input field1 $ field2 $;cards;\na b\nc d\n;run;";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// Setup our socket listener and get the port that it is bound to
com.sas.servlet.util.SocketListener socket =
new com.sas.servlet.util.SocketListener();
int port = socket.setup();
socket.start();
// Get the localhost name
String localhost = (java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost()).getHostAddress();
stmt = "filename sock SOCKET '" + localhost + ":" + port + "';";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// Setup the ods options
stmt = "ods html body=sock style=brick;";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// Print the dataset
stmt = "proc print data=work.foo;run;";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// Close
stmt = "ods html close;run;";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// get my output stream
context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) context.getExternalContext().getResponse();
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
// Write the data from the socket to the response
socket.write(out);
// Close the socket listener
socket.close();

The system exec function is on the Communication palette. Its for executing system commands. On my Win2K system, the help for FTP is:
"Ftp
Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service (sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively. Click ftp commands in the Related Topics list for a description of available ftp subcommands. This command is available only if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed. Ftp is a service, that, once started, creates a sub-environment in which you can use ftp commands, and from which you can return to the Windows 2000 command prompt by typing the quit subcommand. When the ftp sub-environment is running, it is indicated by the ftp command prompt.
ftp [-v] [-n] [-i] [-d] [-g]
[-s:filename] [-a] [-w:windowsize] [computer]
Parameters
-v
Suppresses display of remote server responses.
-n
Suppresses autologin upon initial connection.
-i
Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file transfers.
-d
Enables debugging, displaying all ftp commands passed between the client and server.
-g
Disables file name globbing, which permits the use of wildcard characters (* and ?) in local file and path names. (See the glob command in the online Command Reference.)
-s:filename
Specifies a text file containing ftp commands; the commands automatically run after ftp starts. No spaces are allowed in this parameter. Use this switch instead of redirection (>).
-a
Use any local interface when binding data connection.
-w:windowsize
Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096.
computer
Specifies the computer name or IP address of the remote computer to connect to. The computer, if specified, must be the last paramete
r on the line."
I use tftp all of the time to transfer files in a similar manner. Test the transfer from the Windows command line and copy it into a VI. Pass the command line to system exec and wait until it's done.

How can I get my hp eprint email address from a remote location?

I am currently away from home and need to print something for my wife. I have tested out eprint before but never tried it from a remote location. I cannot recall the email address for my printer. Is there any way to retrieve this without being at the printer? I imagine that I had to sign in to the eprintcenter website to test this so alternatively, is there a way to retrieve the email address I used to set up my eprintcenter account? I am offered a way to retrieve the password but that doesn't help much if I cannot recall my eprintcenter account's email.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Epoclaen,
I see that you are trying to locate your ePrint email address. The only way this can be done would be to log into your ePrint account so it would require you to remember your ePrint log on information. The email address that's used to create an account is usually your personal email address. I would try using your personal email address to log into the account. Let me know how it goes.

How can I delete messages from the local Sent folder without deleting from the remote server?

I am running out of disk space on my local machine. Analysing this, I can see that a large amount of space is being taken up by local storage of Sent emails from my IMAP synchronised account.
I do not see how I can delete the local copies from my PC without them being deleted from the Server as well. There is an account setting option under Synchronisation and Storage to delete messages, but it says they will be deleted from both the local machine and the remote server.
I need to keep the server versions as these are business accounts and it is important I have all my old messages stored somewhere.

Short answer: get a bigger hard disk.
You could disable synchronization and free up the space on your local disk without loosing the messages. However, this would eliminate the possibility to create backups of your messages.<br>
Since you mentioned this is important business mail, you shouldn't take chances.

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

How can I control the volume in a Appletv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

How can I control the volume in a Apple Tv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

There is not now, nor has there ever been a version of flash for any iOS device.
Adobe has abandoned mobile flash, so there never will be.
Browsers like iswifter or photon may work for you, but don't hold your breath.
Check app store for an app of whatever game you want.

I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
In the title you state.
From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
In the first post you state,
I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

I can't print my document from Pages...the Print Button is down behind the Dock...and I can't click it to Print....healp!

I can't print my document from Pages...since the Print Button is lodged behind the Dock...What do I do?

Hi Judith,
Your Print button should be accessible, of course, but sometimes we can do things to confuse the system and we have to take some action to get out of that situation. This case sometimes arises if we change the resolution of our screen display since opening the app, or if we change the position of something that is set to "stay on top" of the display.
If the Dock is the problem right now, you could Hide it or Move it to a different edge of the display, to get it out of the way. Settings are in System Preferences, Personal, Dock. I usually have my Dock set to automatically Hide itself, so it's never in the way.
You could also try Saving, Closing and reopening Pages and see if that resets the location of the Print Dialog. Or, you could just hit Return rather than clicking on the button.
