Display current screensaver picture in finder?
I have the screensaver set up to display all my photos (about 25,000). Now and then I see a picture and would be glad to find it immediately in the finder. Is there a key command for that, similar to the keycommands for the RSS screensaver?
Here's how you do it:
DECLARE
TODAY varchar2(100);
BEGIN
SELECT TO_CHAR(CURRENT_DATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM') INTO TODAY
FROM DUAL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TODAY);
END;
Notes:
1. You select to_char(...) into today, so today should be declared as char, not date.
2. dbms_output.put_line('today') will print "today", you want to print the variable not the string, so no quotes.
3. date variables contain both date and time, no need to concatenate

How do I find the file name of the current desktop picture?
I've tried going to System Prefs, right-clicking on the desktop, and rifling through the pictures folder to visually match the picture.
Isn't there an easy way to find out what the name of the current desktop picture file?...and, when I double-clicked on the plist file, it opened OmniOutliner, which did a great job of sorting through all the machine-speak of the file, displaying it in an organized (outline) fashion. I was able to track down the missing picture and replace it on the desktop. Thanks!

How to display the current name when renaming Finder item
Is there any way to get Automator to display the current name of a Finder item when renaming an item?
I want my users to be able to copy and rename a folder template but I want to display the folder template's current name as a default in the renaming dialogue window, so the user follows the correct naming format.Since you've already hacked into it, if you've got developer tools installed, it is most likely in the nib file that is in the English project folder in the Resources.
I don't know what further implications that will have on the app in general, though.
If you are a little adept at applescript, you may want to create your own Applescript Studio app to do this instead of Automator. Also, take a look at Platypus to make a wrapper around you applescript instead of AS Studio.

Aperture Images on External Drive/Screensaver Can't Find
Hi all,
I've searched the discussions and haven't been able to find threads addressing my specific question. I can't get my MacBook Pro (running OS x10.6/Snow Leopard) to use my Aperture Library for my screensaver. My entire Aperture library (currently about 50,000 images) is on an external hard drive - am wondering if this is the issue. When I try to add the file to the screensaver picture options, I find my external HD, but the Aperture Library is greyed out.
I have already tried the proposed remedies around weeding out weird dates and removing the timestamp file/setting the iLife folder to "read only." I'm not interested in exporting projects or files, in part because I don't want two sets of things hanging around taking up space - I just want it to randomly choose Aperture images to display on the screen. Another suggested work around was importing the images into iPhoto - but, again, I do not want multiple sets of these images. Can it really be the case that I can't point the screensaver to images housed on an external drive??
I'm new to Macs in the last 6 months and mostly thrilled with the change - but this process particular was WAY easier on my PC.
Thanks for any advice.Hi,
iTunes is trying to find your tracks on your hard drive, not those in the cloud.
I would suggest that you create a second blank iTunes library on your computer. Sign into iTunes & match, run match and when completed your music in the cloud will be shown and you will be able to stream the music to your computer.

Mac Mini login not displayed after screensaver
I have a Mac Mini that routinely (several times a week) will not display the login screen after the screensaver has kicked in. The screensaver is running find (e.g. changing which pictures are displayed) but when you move the mouse to stop the screensaver the photo being displayed freezes and the login (list of users) is never displayed. When this happens it is either hold in the power button or do a remote login to use the command line to force a reboot. This problem has existed for many months (multiple Mac OS X updates).
When this happens there are typically two users logged in. One an administrator and one a regular user with a few limitations. Parental Controls are enabled for the second account.
I tried searching the forum and couldn't find a solution mentioned. I apologize if there is one mentioned. Any help would be appreciated. This is a big issue since this is the machine my young kids use and they're not techie enough to reboot without risking corrupting file systems.
Mac Mini 2.26GHz
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Has one External drive connected and always on
Is set to never sleep (it acts as a server)
Is set to reboot on power outagesOkay, this is strange. I tried restarting three times yesterday with the same results. In fact I left it go overnight only to find the next morning that the bar was still stuck at 30%. I did a hard boot a little bit ago and waited a few seconds. I restarted an it booted up fine.

What do you do if your iphone 3gs displays a thether picture to itunes? It won't change and after going to the manual and following directions, I find it is an error 1002. What does this mean?
Error 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue.

Cannot start mac book air. Screen shows only program bar and screensaver picture
I cannot open my MacBookAir. The screen is black or shows only the screensaver picture and the program bar at the bottom of the screen. Icons do not react on clicks.
Hello gero1954,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your Mac is unresponsive. To try and fix this issue, I'd like you to please restart your computer.
Restart
Do any of the following:
Choose Apple menu > Restart.
Hold down the power button until you see the restart, sleep, or shut down dialog, then click Restart, or press R.
If the pointer freezes on the screen or your Mac becomes unresponsive, press Control-Command (⌘)-Power button to force a restart.
Important: If you force a restart, you may lose unsaved changes in open documents.
If you don’t want the app windows you currently have open to reopen when you restart your Mac and sign in, deselect “Reopen windows when logging back in.”
OS X Yosemite: Log out, sleep, restart, and shut down
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???
If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds -
When I try to open some pictures in finder with preview I get a message that I do not have permission to open it. It tells me to go to file - info. Don't know what to do from there.
When you do Get Info for a picture, what does it say in Sharing & Permissions for your username. The Privilege should be "Read & Write"

Display current month records only
Hi Experts,
I have the following requirement.
Report should display current month records only.
For example If the report is run on 20090324, It should display records from 20090301 to 20090324.
That means, report may run on any date of that month, It should display from 01 (of that month) to current date.
I have a select statement saying
SELECT * FROM likp
WHERE wadat_ist BETWEEN month_start_date AND sy-datum
AND vkorg IN s_vkorg
AND vkbur IN s_vkbur
AND kunnr IN s_kunnr.
How to calculate date for month_start_date, so that it can display only current month records.
Thanks in advance
RohanHi Kunta, Suhas, Nandi,

Open orders and shipments with the current month.
But where as Selection text is accepting 32 characters only. Is there any possibility to overcome this?
Thanks in advance

I had transferred all my photo files from my PC when I got my Mac Air. They were in a desktop folder all nicely organized in files (event, dates, etc.) That desktop folder is now gone after the Maverick update. When I click on Pictures in finder it comes up empty (not even a link to Iphoto) I had not put these pictures in iphoto yet. Before Mavericks when I clicked on Pictures the Iphoto icon and my folder showed up. My Iphoto itself is working fine and and those pictures are still intact. I know the pictures are on my Mac because they are all in Images, but they are no longer organized and are no longer in sequence. I would like to know if I my "intact" folder may still be somewhere on my computer. If not what is the best and most efficient way to get those photos from the images only file to Iphoto?
I actually just noticed the "media" option is no longer listed along the left side of Finder. I think that is where I accessed iphoto and my other picture folder.
There is no media option in the Finder. That only turns up in Open... Dialogues like this:
