Cannot bring up Finder preferences and general Finder issues in Yosemite
Since installing Yosemite, I've been having multiple issues with the Finder:
Finder seems to hang occasionally when trying to delete a file
Finder seems to hang occasionally when trying to empty the trash
When trying to open the Finder preferences, it either doesn't open or opens a blank panel (with nothing in it)
Looking at the Console when trying to opening the Finder prefs, I can see this Exception being logged:
Jan 11 16:15:15 JasonMBPRetina Finder[260]: An uncaught exception was raised

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Filter and general access issues from planning to essbase
Hi all,
V 9.3.1 Planning
I am working on a planning system where the business owners would like to restrict the lock and sending of data via smartview. Basically, users are bypassing parts of planning and going directly to essbase rather than forms. They had individual user filters setup but they would like to move to groups. I am using the importsecurity utility to try and achieve this. However, the access granted and filters are producing the following behaviour
1)Group has essbase write access - if this is enabled there appears to be unrestricted access via smartview. Take it away and #NoAccess appears despite security being applied to certain members using the importsecurity utility. I have read that this can be a bit of a loose canon when granted and conflicts with filters.
2) Cannot create filters - I wish to remove all user filters from within planning. However, the importsecurity sl_clearall command doesn't clear them (as I thought it would but appear to be wrong). I cannot create any filters. An error appear saying 'Failed to create Security Filters for the following users: xxxx' Is it possible to delete the filters?
3) If I refresh the security filters I get errors saying 'the following filters could not be created' but they are in EAS (I deleted all filters before hand). I have run the updateusers utility which tidied up msad users but still errors are reported.
The objective is to restrict each group to be able to write to the permitted part of the application and read where necessary. The permissions in planning need to match essbase.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Nathan
p.s this is the same app relating to the thread about the application owner posted yesterday for those who viewed or commented :)Knowledge base had some useful articles on this.

Camera, sound, and general design issues
I bought an iPod Touch 3G about a year ago. Recently, I sold my 3g and bought a 4g. I am a professional web and interface designer and have been in the industry about 5 years.
With the iPod upgrade, I got camera functionality. Also, the recent iOS update added a new set of sound options. It appears that you can have the sound muted, but still get notification sounds from mail, facetime, and perhaps other applications as well; a good feature. The multitasking bar also now has a volume slider as well.
My Proposal (see below for details)
- Link the camera shutter sound to the regular iPod volume. Or have a setting to turn shutter on and off. Or add a “Ringer and Alert” option to disable shutter sound.
- Add a “mute all sounds” button in the multitask bar.
- Remove the sound slider in the multitask bar and replace it with a brightness bar.
The Camera
The camera seems to work great. Unfortunately, it isn’t the highest quality, which I heard was not due to cost, but because of size. Really Apple? Because 0.28 inches is just borderline “too thick?” But that is a whole other issue. The issue I am having is that the camera makes a really nasty (and often loud) shutter noise whenever I take photo, even when the sound is muted. Apple did add the “Ringer and Alerts” sound volume, which apparently also is linked to the camera shutter noise. So either I get audio mail alerts with shutter noise or I get no audio mail alerts with no shutter noise. The “Ringer and Alerts” section allows me to disable certain sounds (incoming mail, outgoing mail), but not the shutter sound. Shutter noises are annoying and there are plenty of circumstances where you do not want a shutter noise. And no, I am not talking about perverted circumstances. Say you are in a boring conference reading a magazine and want to send a photo of a page to a friend? Perhaps you are in a retail store doing some comparison-shopping online and are taking photos of bar codes? Maybe I have witnessed a crime and want to capture a photo of the fleeing perp. There is no reason that people within a 3-block radius need to know that you are taking a photo with my iPod Touch (…and yes, the last example was a bit over the top). Since mail alerts are very useful, I tend to leave them on even when the volume is muted. I typically leave my sound muted because often I may be using a sound application (games, youtube, etc) in a waiting room or other situation where there are people around. I like to be courteous to other people, so I leave my phone on vibrate and go to an unoccupied room (when possible) when receiving a phone call. So leaving my sound on is not a good option for me. However, in order to take a silent photo, I have to go into settings, go to sounds, and slide the “Change with Buttons” option to off. Then when I am done taking the photo, I have to slide it back. Very inconvenient and I have to remember to do it if I am taking a silent photo. Why not add a “Camera shutter” option to the list of sounds in the “Ringer and Alerts” section? Or maybe just bundle the camera shutter sound with the regular volume control of the iPod Touch. Or just add a setting to turn shutter sound on or off.
The Sound
Why is there no easy way to “mute all sounds,” especially with the new sound options of the iOS? This option should be added to the multitask bar. If you are going into a meeting and do not want audio alerts. When the meeting is over, simply go back to the multitask bar and unmute all sounds; simple to use, easy to add. Why did Apple add a volume control to the multitask bar? You can adjust the volume from any application by using the external buttons! Also, perhaps I just don’t understand the new functionality of the volume buttons, but how come you cannot adjust volume from within some applications (camera and others)? The buttons just don’t seem to do anything in those applications. Why in the world would you do that? Those sound buttons have a specific purpose that users are accustom to. No matter what application you are in, you can easily adjust the sound. If you have some feedback on the new functionality of the buttons, please let me know.
The Brightness
Sound and brightness are the two items I change the most. Sometimes I am using my iPod Touch in a dimly lit room, so I like to turn down the brightness. The auto brightness works, but not well in dimly lit rooms. Watching YouTube videos can sometimes be a bit cumbersome with the brightness. If the video is to bright or dark, you can to exit the YouTube app, go to settings, adjust the brightness, go back to YouTube and resume the video. The same goes for the Video application. Some games are brighter or darker than others, so adjusting the brightness after starting a game is a common circumstance. Why not replace the audio controls in the multitask bar with a brightness option. Audio is accessible (or at least should be) from any application thanks to the hardware buttons.Welcome to the discussions,
this is a user to user forum, and Apple does not follow the discussions. But you can address Apple directly using this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html -
[SOLVED]Opening Obmenu as admin and general permissions issue

i did a new arch install with all the basics, sudo, and openbox. when i go into a terminal to open obmenu as an admin using sudo and whilst logged in as root, i get the following

Last edited by nankura (2012-07-18 11:48:51)uh, owner is read and write, group read only and the other read only, and the owner is set to root not my username, so i think ive missed something extremely vital when using the useradd script during the arch installation
maybe i put a group i shouldnt have in the additional groups. either way. it seems i dont have permissions as my actual user "nankura"
i cant even change the permissions

"Broken" NICs and General Stability Issues with Neo 4 Platinum
I have a XP Pro SP2 system with a Neo4 Platinum that is behaving very strangely.
I've been getting increasingly frequent bluescreens (mostly low level kernel errors and such) while under moderate to heavy load for the past few weeks. I gave up and reinstalled XP Pro this weekend to try to fix the problem. The errors have continued, and during the install process I noticed several more hardware problems that seem to have slowly been getting worse.
The second (non-nVidia) gigiabit NIC is completely missing, i.e. it does not show up in Windows nor on the integrated peripherals screen in the BIOS. In addition, I do not get a link light when I plug it into a switch. According to the manual and my memory, there should be similar options for the second NIC as I'm currently seeing for the nVidia one in the BIOS.
In addition, the nVidia-based NIC does not function close to properly. Whenever I download a file or do any sort of network activity, the data that I get is corrupted. Zip files and installers that verify downloads report CRC errors and SSH connections/file transfers just plain die, complaining about bad packets.
It doesn't seem to be a heat problem, because, watching the temps in the BIOS after a bluescreen, the CPU is at most 45, and usually less. I don't have any of the overclocking options enabled, just the "optimized defaults" except for disabling the boot splash screen. I've tried BIOS 1.6, 1.8, and 1.9, all of which have the same issues. I have the latest motherboard and graphics drivers.
Anybody here have any idea about what's going on? Thanks in advance.

[solved] Wifi and Video /Audio issues with Yosemite upgrade
Apple support recommend you call them to solve your issue as they want to report all instances to engineering. They solved my issue (for now)
Symptoms on Macbook Pro Retina 16GB 512GB SSD - late 2013 :
1. any online audio or video stutters when playing - Youtube, Vimeo etc
2. wifi cuts out - only reconnects if I turned off/on wifi
3. Bluetooth keyboard / magic mouse disconnects
Allegedly, during the update, something can happen with users accounts freezing. Therefore, a simple fix solves the issues:
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Start Mac holding down SHIFT key (until desktop appears) - log in with your problem user account (Safe mode for those not familiar)
3. Open Safari and navigate to Youtube - I played a video - the sound was not available but does not matter.
4. Shut down Mac
5. Start Mac in normal mode
All should be fine now. If not call Apple support - that's what they suggestApple support recommend you call them to solve your issue as they want to report all instances to engineering. They solved my issue (for now)

System Preferences and Safari issues
Hi I have a very concerning issue with system preferences and a smaller issue with Safari (7.0). When I open system preferences and navigate to the "internet accounts" page and try to remove an account or click the "Advanced" button, nothing happens. I see a faint flicker of the system prefs window but nothing changes. Another example is when I click on the "networks" page and try and open the "Advanced" window, nothing happens. I also can't sign out of iCloud or view my iCloud account information the buttons seem to do nothing. I've already tried installing mavericks again, deleting appropriate plists, resetting PRAM/NVRAM, repairing the disk and repairing disk permissions to no avail and I really need to find a solution. If this helps, the guest account does not have any issues described above. The safari issue is minor but when Safari opens, there is a gray box around the page title in the top bar of safari no matter what webpage im on. I have tried resetting safari, deleting caches and extensions but nothing works. I really appreciate any help with these issues.
Here is an example of the Safari issue.Do you have the installer DVD? If you do:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the OS X Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current. -

The instructions say "Go to Mail Preferences."
I cannot find any place called "Mail Preferences". I have tried looking under both "Mail" and "System Preferences" and there is nothing there entitled "Mail Preferences". Under "Preferences" there is no subheading as described in the iCloud instructions. Where is that "Mail Preferences" button located?Open Mail, go to the 'Mail' menu, select Preferences.

I recently moved all of my images to a Mac from a Dell. Everything was perfect, but a few weeks ago I started getting an error message in Bridge that it could not read (not sure of this) the criteria and that I should go into preferences and clear the cache. Which I did. Now when I open bridge it sees a few images and then says it's building criteria, for like hours, and then the same error comes back. I don't know what to do. Any ideas? I can see everything in Finder or search, everywhere but bridge. it's the same for .psd, .jpg or raw.

hey guys, so I have a DVD stuck in the CD drive on my mac. It reads it as being in there, but I cannot eject it and it is causing my a lot of issues with my mac. If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files. I feel like it interferes with iPhoto as well because it says it is locked and I have no rights to view it. I wanted to see if anyone else had/s this issue and how you fixed it before lugging it into the apple store and being without a computer for a few weeks...
