Can't manage to autostart properly...

Hi,
Seriously, no matter how hard I try and how much time I spend on google and arch wiki searching any info about autostarting things on my Arch I just can't make it work. I know all those stuff that .bash_profile is for launching non-graphical stuff, .bashrc for aliases and other 'definitional' stuff and .xinitrc for starting all other things like apps, setting wallpapers and generally cutomizing enviroment after starting X session, but still ie when I want to start mpd or compton and I put those things into xinitrc, next time when I start new session it just freezes, or it shows some errors and argh...
So please, could you kindly point me where should I put those commands, listed below, in order to make them autostart? And explain me why there?
- autocutsel -fork &
- autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork &
- mpd
- compton
- setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
- more complex scripts (more than one line of code)
Thanks,
Winged

Hah, sorry for such a messy start of the topic ^^
First of all I'm using ratpoison WM.
And yes, I can use compton in it's own and it works properly.
And about those more complex scripts, right now I really don't remember what I had on my mind cause I've been surfing through all possibilities of managing the problem that I just know that I had an idea but didn't know how to do it, so I'm just asking to use it later.
And about logs, there is nothing in X log what I've seen after logging-in in arch but it was something about bad usage of setxkbmap and autocutsel in .xinitrc. I've undo everything I've done till the moment where there were no errors so I don't know even how to regenerate them.

I have firefox but cannot get into it for last 2 weeks. It says free download manager is not properly working

I already have firefox but for the last 2 weeks I have not been able to get into it.
I get an errorsaying free download manager is not properly working please reinstall free download manager but i cant do anything.
I have tried to uninstall firefox so I could reinstall it but it wont let me uninstall it either.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Can't seem to zoom properly in gmail using lion??

can't seem to zoom properly in gmail using lion??

I think you are right. That is what happens.You can't "edit" an FLV file this way. The frames are deleted, but that just means you won't see the end of your video!
Generally it isn't a good idea to import the video to the stage and play it back in this manner it can cause memory managment issues and other stuff.
It is usually a better idea to use either the playback component or your own code to dynamically "stream" the file.
Also if you want to edit out the first 180 frames you should open the source video, edit it, and re-export to a FLV.
If you can't do any of the "best practice" things. You could embed the FLV in a MovieClip say myMovie and then use code like:
myMovie.gotoAndPlay(181);
or whatever. But the file size will still include the 180 frames of content and there are likely to be other problems when looping and replaying and stuff like that.

I have two iPhones associated to the same Apple ID. Can I manage music

I now have two iPhones (4s & 5s) associated to the same Apple ID. I am
giving my wife the 4S.
We like different music & apps from one another. Can I manage music & apps independently on each device even though they have the same Apple ID Association?
Thanks

Yes, but I highly recommend each have your own, separate AppleID and your own computer login to manage your own data separately.

How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)

I have several phones on my itunes accousnt how can i manage to see only my information

I have both my daughter and my sons iphone onmy itunes account. How can I manage my storage to seeonly my apps and my music?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that. I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones. You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
Wish I could be more help.

Is there a way I can view/manage devices linked to my iCloud account?

Is there a way I can view/manage devices linked to my iCloud account? I know how to view the devices linked to my iTunes account, but I am not sure if this is possible to see with an iCloud account.

You can't, except by seeing if they are using services associated with the account. You could, for example, launch Find My iPhone on iCloud.com to see what devices appear (which obviously wouldn't show devices not using Find My iPhone). Similarly, you could go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to see what devices appear on the Backups list (which won't show devices not using iCloud backup).

Can I manage more than one iTouch from one PC?

A family member has an iTouch managed with iTunes on PC. Another family member would like an iTouch but does not have a computer.
Can one manage more than one iTouch from one PC? How? Does one install separate instances of iTunes somehow on the PC for each device?
There is also the desire to have separate Apple Store accounts for each device. We don't what synced devices.

*How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

Can I manage my Family Sharing and child's Apple ID from my windows computer?

I've bought a refurbished iPhone in lieu of new iPod touch for a kid. I've had an iPod classic for some years and have always managed my involvement with apple via iTunes on a windows laptop. I want to set up an "under 13" identity for her and start family sharing, but I've yet to find explicit instructions on exactly how to do this. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

This should answer:
From the family Sharing Page (Family Sharing - Apple Support):
"You can use Family Sharing on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8, your Mac with OS X Yosemite and iTunes 12, or your PC with iCloud for Windows 4.0. To get started, one adult in your household—the family organizer—sets up Family Sharing"
"iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality."
To set it up, go to your iCloud Settings on the iOS 8 device.
So basically, you can't manage it from your PC; from your PC, you can only access the shared iTunes content and other iCloud shared stuff such as photos, calendar etc.

How can HelpDesk manage users in multiple Organizations in OIM R2

Hi All,
I looking to satisfy a requirement for OIM 11g R2 where a helpdesk administrator can only manage users that belong to a particular institution. However, there are approximately 50% of users that belong to more than one institution, where helpdesk staff from each institution should be able to manage the user. Customer is currently
doing this in Waveset by assigning users to orgs dynamically through rules which allows multiple virtual orgs. OIM unfortunately has no way to assign a user to multiple orgs, making OOTB authorization management very difficult.
How can a administrators from different org manage same User. If that user belongs to different org?
How to achieve this in OIM R2?
Thanks
Akshat

Hi Adr,
I know the OIM Authorization is around the Organization, and a user can present in only one org in OIM.
I wanted to know, can we force the authorization based on Department/Institutions rather than Org. I am thinking in reagards of OES Authorization policies.
OIM unfortunately has no way to assign a user to multiple orgs, making OOTB authorization management slightly difficult.
I am looking to determine the best approach to accommodate this requirement. Due to the high number of users that reside within multiple institutions, leveraging organizations will not work. Asa far i know OES APM should be able to accommodate this, but could not find any solid guidance in the Oracle training or Oracle by Example documentation.
Any thoughts?

Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

Just got a new mac pro and can't manage to set a password and keep it. It keeps telling me I have the wrong password.

Just got a new mac pro and can't manage to set a password and keep it. It keeps telling me I have the wrong password. I want to start over and I can't even get back in to do this bc it won't take any of my passwords. How can I start over completely?

You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.
Want MacBook Pro forum or Lion Community?
