Can't the old threads closed automatically?

Hi,
I am just thinking why can't the old threads closed automatically?
There are lot of old threads which might got resolved OR might not have proper responses, appearing in every forum.
If we have a functionality which close the thread with a tag "Expired" after 5 days (from the query raised date), that can help all of the volunteers.
I do not see any benefit in keeping those threads active!
Regards,
Nick Loy

If you work in a bigger company, then 5 days are almost nothing.
SAP has such a nice CHarm process to make the environment secure, that means you cant even start developing something without having an approved change request. Not to talk about testing.
Of course there are discussions which can be be closed immediately, others need weeks, some months. I still get some helpful and correct answer points from answers I had given years ago.
Without the "automatic" closure, you actually have evidence if the user takes care about his stuff or not, the auto closure makes this unresponsive user just look equal to someone who cares. Even more bad. There is no real filter function in SCN to search only for answered questions, and you would miss a lot answered discussions which are not techncially marked answered.
I actually had some spare time last weekend, and I reviewed ANY discussions posted between May 15 and May 30 in the MM forum having an answer and have not been closed . I wrote a single direct message and included all OPs into the distribution list:
You posted a question in SCN MM forum in last week of May. This question is still open despite of many answers. Is the issue really open and you don't follow up on it? If not open then please close your discussion. If you found the solution yourself, then share it. Check out the blog post 'How to close a discussion and why' in SCN.
Yes I had some good responses to the direct message. Yes some of them have closed their discussion from May, quite a few posted a solution. Some do not understand at all what "correct answer" actually means and marked their own "thank you" as correct answer. And some others which are already known as careless did neither respond nor close any of their discussions, they are just going on and posting the next question.

How do I restore my iphoto from external time machine if it isn't appearing when I go back to other dates? I can open the old library when I hold option, but it can't get it to stay.

Please help.

For TM questions there is a TM forum
In general you launch Time machine and go back in time to the time you want - select the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) and click restore
What is the reason you are trying to restore an older iPhoto library?

Can use the same thread safe variable in the different processes?

Hello,
Can use the same thread safe variable in the different processes? my application has a log file used to record some event, the log file will be accessed by the different process, is there any synchronous method to access the log file with CVI ?
David

Limiting concurrent access to shared resources can be better obtained by using locks: once created, the lock can be get by one requester at a time by calling CmtGetLock, the other being blocked in the same call until the lock is free. If you do not want to lock a process you can use CmtTryToGtLock instead.
Don't forget to discard locks when you have finished using them or at program end.
Alternatively you can PostDeferredCall a unique function (executed in the main thread) to write the log passing the apprpriate data to it.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Want my JFrame to be the *only* one that can end the program when closed

Hi all,
I have an application that is essentially a launcher for other applications -- it's a holder to allow us to demo our work and other Java examples (not necessarily our work). The launcher will either run methods to launch an application or will find a class's main method and invoke that.
In all cases, the other applications open up their own JFrames, separate from my launcher (this is a good thing). The problem is that, in general, the other JFrames are set to EXIT_ON_CLOSE. This means that if the user closes the second window, everything will close.
Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I'd like either a way to say that my JFrame is the only one that can exit the program when closed, or to say globally that JFrames can't exit on close, and then re-work my initial frame so that it is still able to exit.
Note that changing all the other applications so that they do not include the EXIT_ON_CLOSE line is not an option (several of the applications we have the right to use, but not the right to modify, for instance).
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Sam

I have a similar launcher application and this is how I tackled the issue....
Window[] windows = Window.getWindows();
This seems like a great work-around. The only problem is that Window.getWindows() is only 6.0, and unfortunately I can only assume 5.0. I can't see another method in the Window class that will return unowned windows -- is there another method that you know of?
Edit: I found I can use Frame.getFrames() instead, but unfortunately I've discovered this doesn't solve my problem. One of the applications is listening to window closing and is calling System.exit(0) itself, and is not using EXIT_ON_CLOSE as I previously thought. So I think that launching a new JVM may be the only option.... Any advice on how to do this? I'm a little stuck with the ProcessBuilder stuff above.

edit In future (not this time), Swing related questions should be posted in the [Swing forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]
I guess I was thinking this as a process-oriented question (I had already been thinking of the "different JVM" tactic), but the other option was to think of it as a pure-swing problem, like your solution above. Guess I should have just cross-posted -- everyone loves that! ;-)

How can backup the old deta from time machine to OS X LION??

Hi there,
I was using MacPro with older snow leopard just now i install OS X LION,before install i backup all deta to time machines about 70GB,now when i connect i dont know how can backup the old deta to OS X LION,but it just backup the recent deta to time machine,pls guide me how i can backup my old deta to my computer??
Will be much appreciated !!
Thanks.

Sorry, but your post is not clear.
If all you did was upgrade to Lion, there's no reason to do anything. All your data, etc., should still be on your Mac, just as it was before.
Please clarify exactly what you did, and what the problem is.

>Step 1. Backup existing data using time machine.
Time Machine is nice, but you have very little in terms of ability to verify that your data is all backed up. I find Time Machine is better for the occasional recovery of previously written data at specific times. A good backup solution that survives an erase and install (there is no clean install in Mac OS X), is a clone, and preferably TWO clones. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Time Machine can work as good as a clone, and in fact I once had to rely on it because my hard drive died. Thankfully it did recover everything. But I had my clone just in case it didn't work. Now I feel more comfortable since clones allow you to boot themselves, and thus prove all the important system information got saved, and not just the user data.
Clones are also easier to import with the migration assistant.

Blue Screens of Death - what can be the common thread

Whenever I use any PPC app on my system (running Snow Leopard 10.6.1) I get constant blue screen crashes. I've entered multiple bugs on Apple's bugreporter system about this.
Most of the crashes to date have occurred in a routine called UCKeyTranslate. Anyone can with ease determine if this is where your crash occurred. When you get the blue screen, open the Console App (in Utilities), make sure you have the list of files to examine on the left (Make sure toolbar button "Show Log List" is clicked on. Open the "System Diagnostic Reports" list, and see if there is a WIndowServer... entry at the bottom - if so click on it. About two lines down you should see something like this:
Thread 0 Crashed: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0 ...ple.CoreServices.CarbonCore 0x00007fff8735d2a6 UCKeyTranslate + 464
The first line after "Crashed" is the key - here you can see the UCKeyTranslate. Now, I know this is where the windowserver crashed.
If you see that. now click on system.log - its under the FILES container in the left list. In the search field enter UCKeyTranslate - if you see many entries, then you have this Carbon problem. People not having crashes don't have these error messages.
There are tens of threads here on this problem - but no solutions. This begs the questions - why do some people get the problem, and others not?
If you are having the problem (or even if you are not), one thought is use of non-Apple keyboards. I have two USB keyboards I use (one at work, one home. [However, I have had the blue screens using the MacBook Pro in laptop mode too, but the system was "exposed" to my keyboards first.]
So, my questions:
- do you get crashes just using a laptop, where you NEVER plugged in a "foreign" keyboard?
- do you get crashes using just Apple keyboards?
- do you NOT get crashes using PPC apps (like Excel 2004 or Eudora) and have a "foreign" keyboard?
Anyone have a good idea of an additional question to add, go for it! The problematic systems MUST have some file or resource hidden somewhere that is causing the problem - if we can find it we can get a workaround. Apple does not seem to be in any hurry to provide a work around or a fix...
David

Although the WindowServer crashes have only happened to me when I have a Apple (non-extended, USB) keyboard connected, I occasionally (only rarely now) use
http://pfuca-store.stores.yahoo.net/haphackeylit1.html
(In fact, I have two HH keyboards and at least one Apple USB keyboard).
Is there a way to remove a keyboard driver from OS X 10.6.1 ?

I'm interested in this too. Is there any way to

lot of bookmarks to interesting forum threads that I
still need, and they all don't work anymore. Hi,
I also noticed the same problem. It seems we will have to push on the Forums team, as they state (at least, this is what I understood) that the old links are no more usable.

I need to de-authorize my old computer - had to buy a new one today because the old one got wet...I can't see the old screen - but can't use the new one until I can deauthorize the old one...is this a catch 22?

How do I de-authrorize an old computer? I can't access it because it got wet...I can't activate the new one until I deauthroize the old one...seems like a chicken and egg thing...?

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

Can both the old(migrated from another external HD) and new time machine backup be read on iMac?

HI,
I lately migrated the time machine backup from an external HD(WB) to a new one(G Drive). If I connect the new one i.e. G Drive to my iMac for Time Machine, will there be a new folder created in G Drive? Will it be a new backup i.e. backup everything on iMac? Can the old time machine backup be read when I enter Time Machine on my iMac? Thanks in advance.

How to handle case like Housing loan to pay the fix amount and system can deduct the principle and interest automatically in Treasury

Dear Treasury Guru,
I have one scenario from my client like a Housing Loan that the system can generate the principle and interest paid flow type automatically depend on interest and contract condition, I've never faced this scenario before so I'm not sure that Treasury can support or not.
for example : Loan amount = 500,000 USD, Fix amount = 50,000 per month, Interest rate = X%
                          Payment amount               Principle           |        Interest
1st month =               50,000           --->         15,000                      35,000
2nd month =              50,000          ----->        17,000                      33,000
3rd month =               50,000         ------>        19,000                      31,000
Please suggest how to let the system generate the Principle and Interest flow type folllow the example above.
Thanks
Pongrapee K.

Hello Pongrapee,
I think apart from the interest condition, you need a condition for an annuity repayment with amount 50,000 - this will make sure the sum of interest and repayments are 50,000 for all periods.
If you leave the annuity amount blank, the system will calculate the annuity in a way that the sum of interest and repayments remain constant and all the nominal is repayed at the end of term.
But in both cases you will have to give the interest percentage in the interest condition.
Hope this helps!

Is there any way I can get the old iPhone calendar (design)?

When I upgraded to iOS7 I immediately wasn't a fan of the calendar (you now have to scroll down to see what's happening on any given day, instead of the convenient snapshot view like in the old calendar). I was willing to chalk it up to change and give it a try but months later I still hate the calendar. Is there anyway I can just get the old calendar version back... via app or anything?

Apps that people seem to recommend a lot include Tempo and Fantastical. Week Cal also has a view like the old month view.

HT4859 Sleep switch on my iPhone 5 went bad. Apple gave me another phone and the all the info was transferred to new phone. I can't back up to iCloud. CanI delete the old phone without losing all the info that was on it.

Is it ok to delete old phone from iCloud and not lose iCloud data.

If you mean to delete the old iPhone backup from Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage, yes, you can delete this and make a new one of your new iPhone. Nothing will be deleted from your iPhone.
Be sure that you have all the data you want in your new iPhone.
