Contextual menu for formating drives
Is there a contextual menu that will allow me to format drives so that all I have to do is right click on a drive or CDRW/ DVDRW/ HD and select erase to erase the drive instead of always having to launch the Disk Utility all the time.
A CDRW CD is not a hard drive or drive but I understand the question.
If your computer has a Combo drive or a CD-R/CD-RW drive, you can burn files onto CD discs using the Finder. If your computer has a SuperDrive, you can burn files on CD and DVD discs.
By default, Mac OS X burns CD discs in a format that can also be used on non-Macintosh computers.
Insert a blank CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer.
Type a name for the disc in the dialog that appears (if CDs & DVDs preferences are set to "Ask what to do"), or under the CD icon if no dialog appears.
If you see the dialog, you can choose an action from the pop-up menu and select "Make this action the default" if you want the same thing to happen every time you insert a blank disc. Then click OK.
Drag files and folders to the open disc window and arrange the files exactly as you want them. The names of files, folders, and the disc can't be changed after the CD is burned.
Choose File > Burn Disc.
Select the burn speed and click Burn.

Since installing Lion, no Finder window will open on the desktop. I can see them through "Quick Look" and "View all Windows" in the contextual menu for Finder in the dock.

Why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?
why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?
Hi
And You are doing it right
• draging a clip ontop of other clip in Project - or -
• ctrl-click on clip in Project
If it's not that - then my wild Guess is that the iMovie Pref file got corrupted.
• TEST - Easy by creating a new User Account / Log into this / re-try iMovie - if it now works then I would trash the pref. file

Is there: contextual menu for download into Aperture?
In Safari, I can do a right-click and one of my options is 'download to iPhoto'.
Now that I've switched to Aperture, I'd love to download directly into that application.
I've scoured the web, all Aperture-related sites, and I find nothing at all.
Any ideas on how to accomplish or create this?
Thanks in advance.I do see that my Automator created Service (Add Image to Aperture) would be in the Services sub-menu of the contextual menu, or at least should be. However, something else is going on her that I'm obviously misssing.
Even though I have "Service receives selected [IMAGE FILE] in [Any Application]" selected at the top of the workflow window....
when I right click on an image in Safari the services sub-menu is not present......
Furthermore, when I right click on an existing image file in Finder..........
The service I have created (Add Image to Aperture) is available but only directly from the contextual menu and NOT contained within a Services sub-menu (there isn't one there). Not that I really care exactly where my (Add Image to Aperture) Service is located, I just want it to work.
Thanks for all your efforts here! I'm sure I'm making this WAY more complex than it needs to be, I'm just not seeing something with this.
Additional thought: Is it possible that who ever created the website is preventing "right-click save image" functionality which is throwing another variable into the mix? Although, I've tried in on lots of different websites and that doesn't seem to be the case. -

Help Required for format drives on SAN
Hello Guys,
We want to create new RAC database in the currently Oracle 11g R1 environment. We already have a RAC databases having 2 instances. Each instance is on separate nodes
Network/system administrator has provided additional storage which currently can’t be seen through MyComputer on Windows
Looking the drives from Windows Computer Management from node 1 and while trying to format and could be seen in Windows MyComputer, the primary partition option in select partition type is disable. Only logical drive partition could be selected
Whereas while drive from Windows Computer Management from node 2 and while trying to format. The primary partition option could be selected.
My current understanding is we need to format the drive using primary partition option only for Oracle RAC.
Please guide me
ThanksAny suggestion?

I am copying from a MAC to the new drive - not sure the format of the USB drive, whatever the SANDISK Cruzer is default formatted to..
You state that Cruzer is formatted which is proably FAT32. FAT32 has limits on file size of 4 GB.
Since you are copying larger files then you will need to reformat.

Del.icio.us Contextual Menu for Safari
I am new to Apple and don't know anything about AppleScripts and stuff like that.
What I want to do is be able to view an RSS feed, right click on the hyperlink to a particular item in the feed and select "Add to Del.icio.us" which would then open the "your bookmarks" page in Del.icio.us where I can then add the item to My Del.icio.us. The goal here is to save me the trouble of opening posts when I can already tell from the headline/abstract in my RSS feed that I want to save the item to Del.icio.us.
I also don't want to jump through hoops to do this because I am not saavy about these things.
Any ideas?I never did an answer so I guess no one is offering what I was hoping to find. Oh well.

Bug or Feature? Array Custom Contextual Menu Destroys "Delete" and "Insert" Element!
Step to Reproduce:
- Create an Array (doesn't matter of what type).
- Ctrl-M (to switch to Run Mode)
- Notice that:
- when you Right-Click on the Array borders, you have access to an "Empty Array" menu item among other things
- when you Right-Click in an Array element, you have access to an "Insert Element Before" and a "Delete Element" menu item among other things
- Now switch back to Edit Mode and modify the contextual menu in the following way:
- Advanced>>Run-Time Shortcut Menu>>Edit...
- Edit>>Copy Entire Menu
- Switch to "Custom" menu (instead of "Default"): the menu disappears and is replaced by a single ??? item
- Edit>>Paste: The default menu reappears with the ??? on top
- Create you favorite custom menu item by editing the ??? item (say: Do Nothing)
- Save the menu with the control and switch to Run Mode (Ctrl-M).
- Now try the first 3 steps above: wherever you right-click, you have access to the Custom Menu, but the Array Element contextual menu is GONE.
In other words, you cannot (it seems) define a custom contextual menu for an array without destroying the default contextual menu for its elements.
Therefore, if you want to preserve the ability to Insert and Delete Elements in an array, you have to add these two items to the Array contextual menu and juggle with the position of the right-click to figure out whether or not to display them...Well, I created in LabVIEW 2012 such a control and added part of the default menu in the way you described with copy-paste as a submenu to an Edit entry in my custom menu and it did not disappear:

No "decrypt" choice in contextual menu - need to decrypt an encrypted external hard drive
I have a Firewire 800 external hard drive that I had previously encrypted using the contextual menu. I want to change the password on this drive so I'm trying to decrypt it and re-encrypt it while assigned a new password. I have Filevault 2 enabled on my iMac but this shouldn't affect this external drive. I also have a Firmware Password enabled on this iMac, but again, this shouldn't prevent a "decrypt" option in the contextual menu.
"Encrypt" is present in the contextual menu. When I attempt to use this option it appears to allow me to assign a new password. When I click "Encrypt" I get this message: "The target Core Storage volume is already encrypted." It's true that the drive is already encrypted, that's why I'm trying to decrypt it.
I'm running the latest version of Mountain Lion on a late 2012 iMac. I've searched online for someone with a similar problem, but haven't found this problem reference. Does anyone have any idea as to why "decrypt" is not an option on this external drive, but it is on similar external drives that are also already encrypted. Thanks.Thanks for your help, Linc. By the way, I mistakenly said I had Filevault and Firmware turned on. Actually, they are NOT enabled on the iMac. Here's what I got in my Text Edit window:

Multiple entries for same apps showing next to 'Open With' in contextual menu since last backup
I did a back up of my MBPs internal drive recently, using Carbon Copy Cloner - since then there are multiples of the same icons for all apps under 'Open With' in the contextual menu. I seem to remember there being a command line that could be entered in Terminal to fix this, but I can't find it anywhere.
Can anyone help?Yes, LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know -
Contextual Menu Plug-in for Finder in Snow Leopard
I have Contextual Menu Plug-in for Finder which works with my application, but it doesn't work in Snow Leopard. I read that plugins are not supported in 64bit environment. There is still Menus.h file with CFPlugin interface in 10.6 SDK, but my plugin not loaded by Finder even it is compiled for x86_64.
I read about revamped Services that they should be used, but I didn't find a clue how to create dynamic menu with tree of items.
I need to communicate with another application which runs on background and creates menu items in dependency of selected items, their path and other conditions.
Application is written in Java and CMPlugin (which doesn't work in 10.6) is in C++.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.Hi

To create home page which consists of menu for other pages in a tree format
hi, i'm using Jdev 11g, i want to create one home page which having a tree format menu for other pages ,plz tell me
Hi,
the tree structure must be defined in a tree model that you then associate as the value to the tree component. I think the best doc to start with is from Trinidada: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/tree.html
Note that ADF Faces components base on Trinidad, so the docs can be used here as well. Also, while you are on this page, have a look at the XML Menu Model, which is a nice way of creating hierarchical structures in XML so the structure is not hard coded in a Java class

Contextual Menu Layer Selection for CS4 and 5.x
Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to get contextual menu layer selection functioning better in Photoshop.
Right clicking on a layer provides a menu but does not necessarily select the top layer automatically. If the layer is grouped, it will generally show the top most group, and indent layers within. Alt-right click selects the top-most layer, but does not provide the contextual menu.
The behavior I'm looking for is right click, brings up a menu with the top most LAYER (not group) selected.
I see this topic was already covered (and fixed by Adobe) for the Mac version here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/632446?start=0&tstart=0
Am I missing something on the Windows version? Is there an option somewhere to change the behavior?
Thanks.Attached is a picture of the behavior in Windows. Right clicking on empty space (with the exception of a plain white background) does not highlight background. It highlights Group 1, despite Group 1 not containing any information for where I have selected. So when selecting layers in a huge working file with dozens of groups, finding the top most layer gets to be a painful experience.
In Windows, I can control-click a layer to get to the top-most layer without any contextual menu, however the menu behavior on the Mac offers some benefits - you can just go up one menu item to find the layers group.
Here's the same example from above:
Another example:
The Mac behavior seems much much more valuable I would think. However, I'm guessing there is no way to get the Windows version to do this. -
Function click for XP contextual menu like in OSX?
Anyway I can make XP "Control Click" work in Mac XP by using the Function key and click like in OSX?
I do not like this 2 fingers on mousepad thing..I Prefer if I can use F key and click like in OSX..Any tricks or driver I can use?Update:
When any one of the three extensions (AdBlock, Ghostery, or Duck Duck Go) are on there is some amount of delay when right clicking in Safari.
I'm no longer seeing a lag when they are all off but extensions are on. Perhaps I was imagining that before.
All three of those extensions put lines in the contextual menu. (I don't find myself using them though. I'd be fine with being able to use the extensions with no contextual menu items.)
I really like those extensions.
Does anyone else have this issue? Anyone fix it (besides turning off extensions)?
