Diffculty downloading JRE version if user has no admin rights on the box...

If you try to load in your own JRE version using the j2se tag in the JNLP file, and you dont have Admin Rights on the computer, java webstart client will give you the following error:
The application has requested a version of the JRE (version xxxx) that currently is not locally installed. Java Web Start is unable to automatically download and install the requested version. This JRE must be installed manually.
The underlying reason for this, is because the user doesnt have admin rights, the Java Control Panel->Advanced->JRE Autodownload option is set to Never AutoDownload, where as with a user with admin rights this option is set to Always AutoDownload. Once you switch this to Always AutoDownload, the JRE version is loaded correctly as specified by the j2se tag in the JNLP file.
Is there any way to set this option programmatically, or via the JNLP API? Any other suggestions on how this can be done?
Thanks,
Amado

File Vault Useless when Other User Has Full Admin Rights?

Question:
I'm about to send my MacBook Pro in for service. I've backed it up to a bootable clone, but I'd still rather not erase all my stuff, in case they send it back as-is (they do sometimes do that if they don't have to reinstall OSX).
So, I've given the guest user account full admin privileges on this machine and created it without a password so the AppleCare boys can do what they need to do.
My question is, is my account secure if it is password protected and encrypted with File Vault?
Or, if somebody was feeling malicious, couldn't they just reset the password for my account in the guest account preferences or create a new master password for the machine, since the guest account has full admin rights?
Thanks for any quick answers!

Hi bscepter;
If you are that paranoid about your data, the best
thing for you to do is to remove it off of the
machine before you send it in.
Allan
I'm not "that paranoid" about my data. I was merely curious if File Vault would protect my data should somebody with another admin account want to access or delete it. I mentioned this in my initial post.
But thanks, anyway.

BUG: Installer of Internet Explorer 9 breaks Active Setup, if first user logging on has no admin rights

Hello,
I just stumbled across an issue when deploying the Internet Explorer 9 on Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, like many others before me. See here for example:
http://www.butsch.ch/post/Internet-Explorer-9-Setup-Breaks-Active-Setup-of-further-MSI-Packages.aspx
The Internet Explorer 9 setup creates the REG_SZ "NoIE4StubProcessing" with the value "Y" under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components. This blocks all Active Setup components from being executed, when a user logs on. This seems to
be part of the preparation for the reboot during the IE 9 setup and is supposed to be reversed afterwards.
To re-enable the Active Setup processing, the IE 9 installer places a command in the RunOnce-Key under HKLM. This command is also labeled "NoIE4StubProcessing" and contains the following command line:
reg.exe DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\NoIE4StubProcessing" /f
In theory, this command will be executed as soon as the first user logs back on, remove the registry entry blocking the Active Setup process and thus enable it again.
However, this only works, if the first user has local admin priviledges on the machine. If an unpriviledged user logs on, the command is still executed and the entry under "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" is
removed, but the "NoIE4StubProcessing" entry under "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components" remains - resulting in a permantely disabled Active Setup on the machine.
I am not sure, that this is a bug of the IE 9 installer or the way the commands under "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" are executed. Nevertheless, a fix for the problem would be great instead of shitty workarounds, that may
break other things.
Due to other means of contacting the developers / program managers in charge, could some moderator pass the issue along? - Please!

Does anyone know if I can download this version of Java - for OS X 2012-005 - the new Java update is a total mess for me and is preventing me from working remotely... :-( really need to go back to older Java, don't have the Time Machine set up ... Thx

I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/TS4135/TS4135_01-osx _1072-login_window-001-en.png
Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. The 10.3.1 version downloaded, but it was incompatible with Windows 8 and 64-bit. Then I tried to download Itunes 11.1.5 and it comes up with the box asking me to save. When I click on save...NOTHING happens. AAAAAHHHHH!!! I even clicked on the download list to see if it is possessed and downloaded somewhere I didn't choose, but that's NOT happening either. Please help me! I have been messing with this and 4 other problems on this laptop for the last 32 hours. I'm getting tired and frustrated. Also, I haven't even put music on THIS Laptop because on my other one, I ended up with at least 5 copies of EACH SONG. Let's see 636 X 5 = 3,180 and they were in EVERY POSSIBLE LOCATION!!!
Thanks for your time,

User has no write access to the selected members of dimension : CATEGORY

Hello,
Here is the Scenario:
I have a script called DAllocate.lgf in an app - Costing. Now I need to run that app from another app called Reporting. I know that Runlogic wont work in my case because in the Dallocate.lgf there are some Runlogic commands being used. and when Runlogic is being used to call a logic that has runlogics in it, it wont work. So what I hae done is in the SSIS package in the reporting app, I have added a logic task to an existing package and specified DAllocate.lgf with the app name costing.
Here is the issue:
When I run an SSIS package in costing app called Dallocate(which basically runs dallocate.lgf), it runs successfully. But If I run a package called PtoCA in Reporting that has Dallocate.lgf as a logic task, it gives the following error:
"user has no write access to the selected members of dimension : CATEGORY "
Thanks.

Hi,
From your explanation it is clear that Dallocate.LGF has been run successfully in one of the logics. This means the issue is not in the Dallocate.LGF. The issue is in some other logic of the same DM package.
First, check which logic part faces this issue. Based on your explanation, definitely not in Dallocate.LGF.
Then, check how that particular Catergory dimension member which the user does not have access for, came into the logic calculation. Somewhere in the calculation, it is posting a value in the unauthorized member.

ITunes has stopped working right in the middle of updating my new iPhone 4 software...

I just bought the iPhone 4 (not 4S) and plugged in into iTunes. It did a lot of updating and downloading. It says right now under Summary, Software Version: 5.1. And the Updating iPhone software bar has stopped moving right in the middle of the line. My iPhone has that image of the USB with the white arrow below the iTunes logo on the screen right now.
I cannot exit iTunes or the pop-up will say that the iPhone is being updated, do not exit iTunes.
I am really unsure of what to do here. I tried two different iPhone USB plug-ins and that didn't help.

First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

User with no admin rights can not authenticate on wikis or blogs

I just set up my OD and proceeded to add users in the workgroup manager. I create an account for myself and gave it full admin rights under the privileges tab (in work group manager). I then created a test user account and gave it no privileges. My admin account can log on to wiki's and create blogs but my test account can not, It wont let me log in to any of the wiki's it's assigned to or set up a blog. I set the test account to have full privileges and then I was able to do these things.
I had this set up correctly before the 10.5.2 update came out and crashed my server, I had to re-install the OS and start from scratch again.
Any thoughts on what's wrong?
Thank You,

Are the users and groups local or in an OD master?

Anyone have suggestions on how I can go about it?

What is this "box"? What is this "folder" you're asking about? You'll likely get a better answer if you use standard terminology.

Is there a way to manage workstation admin rights from the server?
I ran into a problem with Lightroom that requires admin privileges to change the program preferences. We have alot of graphic art students with roaming profiles, spread out across 5 labs, that need to make this change. I would like to be able to add a group or all network users to the local admin group, for a few days, so the students can make the changes.

This works on 10.5, not sure about 10.6.

Hi Sophie,
Normally you can find your serial registered to your AdobeId. To find it please login to the Adobe website and check if you did register it to your account.
Serial number, Redemption, and Product codes | Student & Teacher Editions
In general you will go true a educational verification afterwards you get the serial. So its in your email or account. If you still have issues get in contact with the chat team to get help.
Good luck!

You need to contact Oracle if you desire to participate in any of their test programs.
The latest public Java release is the JDK 8u20 update. You can download it from the Downloads tab on this page:
JDK 8 Update Release Notes
The 'release' you are talking about is likely just the critical patch update as discussed in the 8u20 release notes:
JDK 8 Update Release Notes
JRE Expiration Date
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 8u20) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for October 14, 2014.
Unless you are part of Oracle's pre-release test program you will not have access to versions prior to their public release.

The latest version of Firefox has a compatability problem with the Reget download manger which means I can only download zipped files rather than large MOV or MKV files as could previously be done. Is there a solution to this issue?

As per above the Reget add on is now not compatible with Firefox's latest version. Is this something which Firefox is looking into? Is there a work around or is this up to Reget to remedy?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
