Deleted column from spaces leaves System Prefs in limbo

HELP! This is my work machine. Someone deleted one of my columns of Spaces, now System Prefs is only visible when Spaces is activated. Example:
System Prefs appears in the Upper left, but not the actual window. I activate Spaces and and the windows shrink back to show my 3 spaces and the System Prefs window is floating above full size, but I can't click on it. Clicking on it only activates the Space that is below where I clicked, as if it were invisible. PLEASE HELP! How can I get my lost apps back?

homedirectory means your home directory, the folder that looks like a house named with your short user name. Inside of that is a folder called Library, inside of that is Preferences. That is where the file is located.
Did you go into the wrong Library?

  • Remove Enable, Disable and Delete columns from searchUser.do

    Hello,
    What jsp form do I need to modify to remove the enable, disable and delete columns from the searchUser.do page? I edited tjspSearchUserResultsTiles.jsp but that didn't seem to do it.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    TableGenerator.jsp is the general jsp so you shouldn't modify it.You need to extend tcSearchUserAction.java class aand create a custom class.You need to over ride populateColumnHeadings and populateTableData.
    I won't suggest this approach until you are very much familiar with struts development and oim classes.

  • How to add a pane from DEEP within System Prefs to the dock

    I frequently use my HP Deskjet scanner, and the way I scan stuff is by doing:
    System Prefs > Printers & Scanners > [select the printer] > Scan > Open Scanner...
    Is there a way to essentially record the LAST action, the "Open scanner" mouse-click, and add it to my dock for quick (and instant) scanner access?
    Saving these 15 seconds ten times a day might actually add a week to my life. And please, explain it like I'm 5.

    I cannot help with exactly your question, someone else may.
    However can you not use the Image Capture application, it is supplied with OS X and is in the applications folder, if that scans how you want, just drag it to the Dock for easy access.

  • Getting error while trying to delete columns from form designer

    I Am trying to make last name a mandatory field.
    AD was not getting provisioned for users that i created.The system validation task was not getting completed.WHen i tried to save the process form it was showing that last name was a mandatory field.So i figured it out that my process form was not getting populated.
    i was trying to delete last name from the form version.But it was throwing an error code= DOBJ.SDC_CANNOT_DELETE_SRE_ENTRIES_EXIST
    So i am trying to create a new version of a form and delete some columns.But when im doing it it shows the following error :
    ERROR,15 Dec 2008 18:03:20,073,[XELLERATE.SERVER],Class/Method: tcSDC/hasPrePopulatedEntries Error :Sdk cannot drop, SRE entries Exist.
    Could you help as to how i can resolve this.

    You cannot delete a column, but you can hide it ;)
    In your case, you may follow these steps:
    1) Create a new form version.
    2) Go to the "Properties" tab in the form editor.
    3) Delete the "Required=true" property for the "Last Name" field.
    4) Add a new property to the "Last Name" field: select "Visbile Field" in the "Property Name" combo-box, and add "false" to the "Property Value". Save.
    5) Activate your version.
    Think again about hidding the "Last Name", because I think it's a mandatory value for AD user creation (i.e., AD won't let you create users if they don't have Last Name set). However, I'm not sure.
    Hope this help!

  • How to delete columns from a 2D array

    Hi guys,
    I read a matrix from a text file and I want to delete the first and last columns of the matrix. I've been trying to do it with delete from an array function but it doesn't do it the way I want. Any suggestions?

    Keep in mind that by default, 2-D LabVIEW arrays are row-based. So though you might be thinking that the first indexing input for the 'index array' primitive is for columns, it is actually for rows. You can either select the second input for the 'index array', or, if you are like me and think better in columns, you can transpose the array before you operate on it. I recommend getting used to the order of the inputs for the array tools and forcing yourself into the LabVIEW convention, as it gets complicated if you need to invert an array before you operate on it, and then again after so that the array returns to row-centric order, which is what all the rest of the LV array tools are expecting
    Good luck!

  • Does deleting yahoo mail account in system prefs and recreating it as Add Other Account lose mail data?

    Having trouble getting Notes from iMac to sync with iPad and iPhone. On iPad and iPhone I deleted Yahoo mail account in prefs and recreated it as Add Other Account. This restored Notes that had not been showing up. Can I do the same thing on my iMac?

    I'd add the new account first, unless you can lose all your eMails in that account.

  • ITunes randomly deletes folders from my iTunes system directory

    I am running iTunes v7, "I have the box Let iTunes manage folders" unchecked, I have no folders in my iTunes list. I select "Add folder to library". At this point iTunes imports the majority of the albums contained in the iTunes directory on my disk, those that it doesn't it DELETES from my system. This has happened on two different systems so now I have a copy elsewhere on the disk of all the albums in a directory structure. However, how can I stop iTunes from randomly deleting these albums - I have checked to see whether iTunes has just moved them somewhere else, it does not, they are deleted.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have an Intel based PC with XP Pro. I have had the same problem as the rest of you for 5 years. I have e-mailed Apple 3 times sans response. I searched the Internet for solutions. I have done what several of the suggest but still the problem persists. I had almost 13000 titles of music and old radio shows. Some I uploaded from personal CD's. Some were downloaded via an online music service. I can play a piece one day and the next that line has an exclamation point in front of it. I have lost entire works by one artist due to this problem. I am fed up with reloading the music and losing it. iTunes either has no answer or does not care. I asked about any limitations on the database manger, no answer. I asked about database limitations, no answer. I saw a post two years ago from a husband wife team that had 18,000 titles and had now lost many of them.
    If there are complaints, there must be a problem. If there is a problem, there must be a solution. I spent too many years testing software professionally to think otherwise. If I do not receive a response from iTunes in the near future I will find another database to move my music too.

  • Cannot DELETE rows from LOV on running...is it a bug ??

    One of the features I appreciated in the new version of JHeadstart is that we can now insert, modify and delete rows on LOV (even in the database).
    We have just to check on Lookup properties :
    Multi-row insert allowed
    Multi-row update allowed
    Multi-row delete allowed
    I cheked all of them and on runnig I could insert and update records in LOV.
    When I tried to delete records from LOV the system display information message "nothing to save" and in fact no records were deleted.
    Normally since I checked the delete property it should be possible to delete rows from LOV
    thanks for any Help

    Monta,
    I could reproduce this, it is a bug. Added to the fix list for the next release.
    Thanks for reporting,

  • System Prefs search results in Spotlight always appear in Japanese ... ?

    Recently I've noticed that for some reason, searching for System Prefs using Spotlight always returns the results in Japanese, whereas all of the other search results in Spotlight are in English.
    Does anyone have any idea how this could happen, or how to reverse it? I've tried removing all languages except for English from the International System Prefs, but they still show up in Japanese.
    Any help much appreciated.

    How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD.  However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
    How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive.  Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items.  Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
    Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
    Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
    Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
    Click on the  "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1.          In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b.          or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3.          In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4.          On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5.          Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
              20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6.          Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7.          In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8.          If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9.          In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10.          If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11.          Type in your password, click “OK”
    Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12.          In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes:          Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
    Stop
    Leave original alone
    Update .....
    Default selection
    Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

  • Now that I have backed up, can I delete items from my desktop? One of the reasons I got the time capsule was so that I could free up some space on my computer. I am confused about whether the backup will one day remove my photos/video

    I purchased a 2TB time capsule yesterday. I set it up as a router and did the backup no problem. I then navigated the backup folder and found that all my photos/video that I am nervous about losing are on there. So far so good.
    Taking a step back, the reason I bought the time capsule was 1.) I needed a router 2.) I have a mac and 3.) I am running out of disk space on that mac (I shoot and cut a lot of video and have years of high quality pictures on my mac hard drive)
    Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused. I love the idea of backing up my computer so I want to keep that functionality, but will the drive still function as a static external hard drive? Or do I need to move that material in seperately as a folder outside of the backup folder?
    I am nervous that if the backup overwrites information as the disk space becomes limited that in 10 years when I fill this drive up, that I will lose all of my photos that are part of the backups that I am running now.....
    Or worse, I am nervous that if I remove things from my mac right now, that the next time that a back up is performed that it will lose this data as it is not currently on the device I am backing up? How does this work?
    I apologize, the back up is a very new concept to me and I want to make sure I do not goof anything up.

    That's an entirely different thing from backups.  A backup is an extra copy, in case the original is lost or damaged.   Additional space is just that -- more space for originals.
    While it's possible to use the same disk (such as the TC's internal HD) for both things, it's dangerous -- when (not if) something happens to the TC, you risk losing the originals that are on it.   To be safe, you need (at least) two copies of everything important, in (at least) two different places.  
    Many (including me) recommend at least three copies (originals plus 2 backups).  While it's not common for the Mac's hard drive to fail about the same time as the backup drive, it does happen.  There are several threads here where it did, and very expensive data recovery was needed, but in some cases everything was lost.
    So as the others recommend, getting an external HD for the stuff there isn't room for on your Mac is one solution for not having enough space.  But you might explore getting a larger internal HD.   If possible, that might be bettter.
    Then, also get another external, for "secondary" backups, so you're doubly protected.  If you get a portable model, you can take it offsite for even better protection.  See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details and some suggestions.
    Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused.
    You're not the first or only one. 
    There are different types of backup apps, so there are different answers for the different types.
    As the others have posted, Time Machine will, sooner or later, delete it's backup copies of things that are no longer on your system.  Depending on how long the original was there and when backups were run, that can be in as little as 24 hours, or as long as there's room.   So no, don't take the chance with data that's important!
    Is there helpful information on how to add an external drive to your backup set up?
    See the green box in #2 of the FAQ article.  All you have to do is format it for a Mac and remove it from the exclusion list.
               Once I set it up, will I need to leave the hard drive plugged into my mac in order for the data to be backed up?
    It can only be backed-up while it's connected.
               If I do, and a back up is performed without the hard drive attached to my computer, will it remove the backup of  what was on the hard drive
    No (unless you leave it disconnected until Time Machine starts deleting old backups).
    It will back up the external when it's connected, and not complain if it isn't.

  • How can I free up space by deleting old photos from i photo? Have deleted files from iPhoto but that does not seem to free space- is it stored at a different site?

    Want to free up disk space by deleting photos but unable to do so

    To delete photos from iPhoto:
    Drag the image from the iPhoto Library (Either Events or Photos view) to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it. Then empty the system trash as well.
    If space is an issue you can run a Library from an external drive:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Or move part of the Library to an external drive.

  • CUP:Deletion of account in CUA child system leaves system assignment in CUA

    Hello all CUP experts,
    I face a problem with CUA connected systems, more precisely in the account deletion process. The account is deleted in the CUA child system, but it leaves the system assignment in the CUA system.
    Is there a way to get CUP to delete also the CUA system assignment, which I understand has to happen before the child system account deletion?

    Hi Naveen,
    1. I have synchronized the company address in central system to all the child systems.
    2. This particular child system has an additional company address "XYZ" (which is causing the problem). This address is not being copied to the central system from transaction SCUG. It throws an error saying that the address is incorrect (Missing Country Information). So, when I want to edit the address to get this thing fixed, in the child system, it won't let me do that. I can neither edit it nor delete it. I get the error messages as I have posted earlier.
    So I have changed the company address of all the users who were using address "XYZ" to a different address so that I can delete the company address "XYZ". But, I am still not able to delete the address.
    If you could guide me on how can we edit or delete the company addresses in a  child system (other than from Transaction SUCOMP), it would be great.
    Thank You for your time on this thread.
    Any input I will appreciate.
