Changing the homepage of 150 Macintosh's remotely?
I need to change the homepage of about 150 macintosh's, running snow leopard. I am hoping to accomplish remotely, either with a Unix command or pushing the corrected plist to them.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4
I don't think I'm quite advanced enough yet to use the externalinterface class.
Is there a easier method to do this.
I thought that basically I would need to get js to send a flash var with a hex colour code in it and then flash would change the fill of an object to what ever hex code it recieved through this flash var.
Many thanks for the help, although I think you're thinking that I'm more advanced at AS than I am. I've only just managed to copy,cut & paste this code together from snippets off of the internet.

Tried resetting default setting via Firefox Safemode. Didnt work. Any suggestions.?
My situation is 2 home computers (Windows XP) sharing 1 modem, but have their own apps. Mozilla on the other computer is fine. Just this one which Bearshare was downloaded to.
It took over the Homepage in IE too, but I was able to change it using Internet Options.
The message which comes up when I try to change the Homepage is "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked"
TksYou only get an alert stating "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked" if you have security software or an extension that is protecting against such a change. Firefox doesn't do that by itself. If starting in [[Safe mode]] didn't help then that only leaves security software, so you need to look to see how you can allow a home page change.

How do I change the assigned site code on a REMOTE client via WMI (C#)?
Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to change the site code on a client remotely via WMI. I have found one or two links to this, eg
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj874135.aspx
and
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/67b671bb-4819-4e7a-a4f6-6cb7ded17722/sccm-2007-change-assigned-site-code-on-clients?forum=configmgrgeneral
However none of these will allow me to change it remotely directly from my machine. I have written a tool which fixes many issues but having difficulty with this one. In the past I have even resorted to copying a script remotely to an affected machine then
setting a remote scheduled task which executes the script. This was effective but very dirty! I find it difficult to believe there is no way to do this directly but can't seem to find anything suggesting it is possible.
Before anyone replies with a 'what are you trying to achieve...' type answer, I have a similar situation to that of the guy in the second link but I would like something more instant.
Many thankspsexec or winrm will allow you to do this.

Is it possible to change the default language of a computer remotely?
Hi
Is it possible to change the default language of a computer remotely?
We have Apple Remote desktop and network home folders with managed prefs but i don't seem to be able to use either of these to change the default language of all of our macs to "British English".
is there a UNIX command that can do this?The simple way is via the Internationalization settings via ARD or RDP or Screen Sharing, either via System Preferences or (if enabled) via the menu bar. If you're looking for a lower-level approach, there's not AFAIK a direct command for this. As for one possible approach, might [threadID=2106201|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2106201] help?

How can I change the homepage that displays when I open Firefox?

Windows 7 Sp3. Using Firefox 7.01
Non admin users.
Can change homepage to whatever they like and it will work.
BUT when they close firefox and open it again the home page goes back to default settingUpdate.
This looks to be a mozilla.cfg setting. If I take out the pref("browser.startup.homepage","ourwebpage");
it loads the basic firefox "FirstPage"
How do I get around adding a default homepage that can be changed by the user?
I have tried adding
defaultPref.. .. then the webpage info.. BUT it retrurns a Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator.
Do I need to create a prefs.js file?
And if I do how do I get it to work for each new user that logs into that machine? -
When iam using firefox i selected google as my home page. But while opening another tab in the same window(ctrl+T), I am getting babylon search as home page for it. How can i get rid of this problem?
'''''"...while opening another tab in the same window(ctrl+T), I am getting babylon search as home page for it."""
Any search toolbar and changes to search engines can take place by downloading and installing software; usually "free" software from the internet. Babylon can be downloaded and installed by itself or as a "ride-along" when installing/updating some software from the internet. Always look for an opportunity during the installation to un-check boxes that will install "ride-along" items that you do not want. Firefox installation does not include such "ride-along" items.

We cant type in the address bar or change the homepage
Good afternoon, after accidentally installing snapdo, we cannot type in the address bar or search bar. I have managed to remove snapdo now from the laptop. Exported my bookmarks, reset firefox, nothing changed - still not working. Uninstalled firefox, reinstalled, still not working.
Hi there,
Sorry about your issues with Firefox! You may want to try the Firefox Reset feature. Unlike reinstalling Firefox, this method actually tries to fix issues in your personal profile (where bookmarks and other settings are stored). You can read more about what this feature does here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

I want to change the name under DEVICES, left column Remote Disk, Untitled to FLASH USB, and still have it read my Superdrive when I connect it?
Each Volume (partition) on a device has a name.
When it is mounted it will appear with that name as an icon on the desktop, and under devices in the sidebar.
Typically a USB flash drive would only have one volume.
They may initially come with names like Untitled or No_Name etc.
When mounted you can rename any USB drive (Or individual Volume if there is more than one partition) by using the mouse to select the name on the Desktop and hold the selection in you can edit the name. That name will stay with that particular drive and will show every time it is mounted.
CDs and DVDs may well have a name which will show when they are mounted. When you make a CD or DVD you can provide a name when making it.
It is good practice to name a new thumb drive or USB disk when you get it to avoid the confusion you seem to be having. Simialrly to name any DVDs or CDs you create -
Can't see design view after changing connections file from localhost to a remote host & back again
I was using localhost to test files before changing the connections document over to a remote host, since I couldn't get dreamweaver to connect to the remote host, I changed back to localhot. My files are all .php files. This is a dynamic site. After I changed my connection back to my local host my design view no longer works. It's competly grey with 3 small icons at the top on the left. I can view in live view and I can view in the browser. But no longer in design view after being able to for 6 months. The 3 icons are a hard drive case, a document, and a link symbol . When I click in code view the design view turns grey when I click in design view it turns white. I am using wamp for the localhost, Windows XP home, Dreamweaver CS5. Can someone please tell me how to go back to design view. This happens with any & all files including non dynamic .html files. Also having a problem connecting to my remote host. using godaddy, and they have tried with me for 2 hours to connect, I just keep getting password is incorrect. Thank you for any help, Stacey
I would also recommend clearing the Site cache, which may help with the connection failure. To do so, choose Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache.
After doing so, be sure to go back into your Site Setup, and make sure the FTP address, user name, and password are all correct. (Click the Test button in there to verify.)
If that doesn't help with getting connected to your server, you might try an alternate FTP client (e.g. FileZilla) to just make sure you are entering the right connection information. It could be that GoDaddy is having some issue, or maybe you just mistyped something (I know I do this often when I type too fast).
As for the issue with Design View, try clearing the Dreamweaver cache. Instructions are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
You might also try toggling the location of Design View. That is, when in Split View, choose View > Design View On Left. Then, choose that menu option again to reset the location back to the right.
Resetting the workspace might also be recommended. Window > Worksapce Layout > Reset 'name of current workspace'
