Deleting 3rd party software

Hello,
We want to delete a 3rd party software bolt-on that all resides in its own namespace /epiuse/.This is in our DEV,TEST and PROD systems. The original system for all objects is different to ours. How can this be done easily ?. There must be an easier and quicker way than to register each object so you can delete it.
cheers

If the amount of storage for your Messages is not decreasing when you delete some (or all), then you need to try resetting your device to see if it will clear it up. I just went to my device and checked the amount of storage being used by Messages (13 MB). Then I deleted the 6 messages I had, and went back to check the Usage. It is now 3 MB.
To reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen displays, check your usage again.

Permanently deleting iPhone text messages... impossible without 3rd party software?

Am I correct in assuming there is currently NO possible way to permanently delete iPhone text messages and attachments unless you without either A. using 3rd party software that costs loads of money, or B. completely wiping your phone? This is seriously not available on these phones with all the other advanced features and tech?
It saves gigs of txt messages and attachments permanently that takes up all of the space on your phone... I just have a hard time believing this issue hasn't been addressed....

How do I transfer photo files from desktop to ipad without 3rd party software?

how do I transfer photo and music files from my laptop to ipad2 without purchasing a 3rd party software?

You can use iTunes which is free (http://www.apple.com/itunes) - and that is the only way to sync music from a computer to the iPad
Syncing photos via iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . You need to sync all photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad

Remove A 3rd Party Software

Hi,
I have some "Old 3rd party software" that needs to be "Updated with newer versions".
How do I "remove(delete) the old version software" and install the new versions software?
Thanks.
Ed

There is no definitive answer to your vague question because there are many variables.
For many apps there's no need to remove the old version at all - multiple versions can quite peacefully co-exist
For some apps you can simply throw away the old application file.
Some applications ship with 'un-installer' applications which remove all traces of the app.
Some applications have built-in updaters which can apply updates (including removing old versions) for you.
Some applications, especially those that use network connections or have background components or startup dependencies have special startup scripts that run at startup. In these cases removing the old app might not remove the startup script, and the startup script might or might not be compatible with the new version.
There are other cases, too.
So, as you see, there is no one answer to your question, and since you don't identify the application in question no one can tell you which category your app(s) falls in to.

3rd party software for creating repetitive fields

I am creating business forms that have a lot of repeated steps to format individual form fields. Is anyone using 3rd party software to record repetitive steps to add scripts, or change the appearance of the fields?

We write our own and use cut an paste.
For common document level scripts I create an FDF file that can be imported into a form and the document level script is added to the form.
Another approach would be to put the fields on a PDF page and then saving that PDF. Now just insert the PDF page and copy the fields as needed. Wen all is done delete the page.
The code for walking through the fields is a pretty simple loop. It gets more complex when one wants to limit the code to a single fields.

3rd. party software files disappeared!!!

Since my Lion install, all of my files for a 3rd. party software I use have vanished. It is a software I use to run a digital die cutting machine. Any ideas how to recover them???? These are not free files, I had to pay for each one. the software opens fine and seems to run the

LOL!! I don't know what happened!! anyway, i'm fairly illiterate when you start mentioning p-lists since i actually deleted some of them from my iMac recently. i was behaving in a cavalier manner when trying to find some disk space on my 250g hd. (dumb, i know). right now i'm on my macbook pro and haven't deleted anything.
is main menu free??? i've contacted the die cut company regarding the issue and i'll see what they say. technically the cutting files are not saved on your hard drive. u access them when you open the software and i'm assuming they live on the server. the only way they would be on my computer is if i resaved them to another folder, which i didn't do. mainly because i didn't want to clog up my drive. most users don't save the files to their computer for that reason. i could save and back up to an ehd, but i haven't.
thanks for your help!

HT1338 i have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

I have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

Backup your music to an external source before doing this, just in case you delete the originals by accident.
iTunes will show you the duplicates. But I recommend tagging their comments or another field once selecting them to ensure you don't accidentally delete both the original and duplicate. You can always select all of them and change all their comment tags at once. Once you've done that, stop showing duplications, and then sort by the comment field. This will allow you to determine whether only the duplicates were shown in the show duplicates, or the originals. If you see any without comments, then you can go ahead and delete the duplicates.

Using stock apple apps, instead 3rd party software

I was wondering what would be the best option for cleaning application cache, memory and doing regular computer maintenance, without installing 3rd party software, or if there is any?
can CleanMyMac or DiskDoctor functions substituted with apple stock apps ?
thanks

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device should not be a focus of your attention. It should be an almost invisible tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

STOP INSTALLING 3rd PARTY SOFTWARE

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama). Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software. I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required. I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator. I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
Any suggestions? Any thoughts? Much appreciate any help you might offer.

Automator - Loop through a text file and process data through a 3rd party software

Just stumbled on Automator the other day (I am a mac n00b) and would like to automate the processing of a text file, line-by-line, using a third party tool. I would like Automator to loop through the text file one line at a time, copy the string and keep as a variable. Next, place the variable data (copied string) into the text field of the 3rd party software for processing. Once the processing is complete, I would like Automator to fetch the next line/string for processing. I see items like "copy from clipboard" and "variables" within the menu but I am not finding much documentation on how to utilizle this tool. Just hear how potentially powerful it is.
The 3rd party software is not a brand name, just something made for me to process text. I may have to use mouse clicks or tabs + [return] to navigate with Automator. A term I heard on Bn Walldie's itunes video series was "scriptable software" for which I don't think this 3rd party app would be.
Kind regards,
jw

Good news and bad news...
The good news is that it should be entirely possible to automate your workflow.
The bad news is that it will be a nightmare to implement via Automator, if it's even possible.
Automator is, essentially a pretty interface on top of AppleScript/Apple Events, and with the pretty interface comes a certain stranglehold on features. Knowing how to boil rice might make you a cook, but understanding flavor profiles and ingredient combinations can make you a chef, and it's the same with AppleScript and Automator. Automator's good at getting you from points A to B but if there are any bumps in the road (e.g. the application you're using isn't scriptable) then it falls apart.
What I'm getting at is that your requirements are pretty simple to implement in AppleScript because you can get 'under the hood' and do exactly what you want, as opposed to Automator's restricted interface.
The tricky part is that if no one else can see this app it's going to be hard to tell you what to do.
I can give you the basics on reading a file and iterating through the lines of text in it, and I can show you how to 'type' text in any given application, but it may be up to you to put the pieces together.
Here's one way of reading a file and working through each line of text:
-- ask the user for a file:
set theFile to (choose file)
-- read the file contents:
set theFileContents to (read file theFile)
-- break out the lines/paragraphs of text:
set theLines to paragraphs of theFileContents
-- now iterate through those lines, one by one:
repeat with eachLine in theLines
-- code to perform for eachLine goes here
end repeat
Once you have a line of text (eachLine in the above example) you can 'type' that into another application via something like:
tell application "AppName" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppName"
keystroke eachLine
end tell
end tell
Here the AppleScript is activating the application and using System Events to emulate typing the contents of the eachLine variable into the process. Put this inside your repeat loop and you're almost there.

Issues with Form printing using a 3rd party software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hi All,
We are printing our month end AR statements using Xerox DP100 printers. We are using a SAP Script as the layout form. Everything works perfectly alright when a direct print is issued to the printer. But the scenario here is the statements are sent to a 3rd party software so that the statements can be saved in their repository and made available to be viewed and printed whenever necessary. Now the issue is when this 3rd Party Software(TPS) reads the SAP generated PCL from its report store on the unix host and generates a PDF File that it presents to the web client user for (re)printing via his/her PC it appears that the TPS or Websphere or Adobe is performing a font substituion - replacing the Univers font(used in R/3) which is not loaded on the unix host with a different font(with different sizing and/or behavior).
As a result the horizontal and vertical positioning generated by SAP(which is correct for the Univers font) is 'wrong' for the substituted font. The fixed size fields print OK but gradually move to the right. The varying size amount columns do not align correctly and fall off the right side of the page.
Can anyone give me pointers on what can be done to arrest this error.
Does the font need to be loaded on the unix host or the font used in the form be changed?
Regards,
Karthik

Karthik,
Sap script behaves differently for different printers. You will have to change margins when you change your printer/software accordingly.

Is 3rd party software required for auto creation of DIR for scanned copy,

Hello SAP gurus.
The current business process is there are 100s of service order, (IW31 creation TC) and each service order has its own 50-60 external documents attached to it.
unfortunately there is no standard link from SAP DMS at Service order (lW31, TC) level.
Here i tought of creating a document folder in EDMS or structure with the reference of service order No. And keeping this service order as reference we need some 50-60 documents (files) to be directly assigned to the main service order No, with out any manual intervention.
Here is what the user does in the present system
With our client in the present system they use a 3rd party software for mail and scanner interface, here Any x, y, z user scans an document or Mails a document with attachments, just giving the subject line as the Service order already created.
The document attachment directly comes and sits inside the predefined Service Order folder. Along with the user name who sent the document and the time he sent the document.
Is the same thing possible in SAP ie.. Creating or attaching documents with out any manual interventions taking the reference of Mails sent having the subject line as the DIR
Does this require 3rd party interference to do this, will any BAPI /BADI to do this for DMS with out 3rd party software.
is there any upload programme that should be used which will avoid 3rd party software.
please explain. points waiting.
Thanks and warm regards

Migration of Documents from 3rd party software to SAP DMS

Dear Experts,
We have implemented SAP DMS . Prior to DMS we were using Third party software for creating and storing the documents.
There are abot 3000 documents in the third party software, now the challege is how we must have to migrate the DATA from 3rd party software to SAP DMS with creating Dirs. Are there any upload programmes suffice the requirement or any development needs to be done or any possibilities.
Kindly help me out in the above scenario.

jayanth

Hi,
from DMS point of view I think that SDXA functionality could also be useful for this action. For further information on SXDA functions please see SAP note 817743.
