File structure access and default settings issues

Hello there,
I have a MBP running 10.6.6
I noticed that, in the get info window for all my folders and files on the mac, at the bottom it has three users: me, staff, and everyone. And by default it seems to grant all users read rights.
I have only two users set up on my mac, me and my daughter. My mac does connect to my business network but i have never set up a "staff" user.
I would like all of my files, anything I create or import or otherwise manage while logged in as me to be viewable only by me.
Is there a way to set this as a default?
thank you in advance
Marc

Posix permissions have three entities that permissions are granted for, owner, group, and others.
On those three entities, you can have read, write, and execute permissions. The Mac OS X GUI calls others everyone. Take a look at [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2963]
Staff is the default group a user is placed into.
Others can read your home folder so that they can read the Sites folder and the Public folder. All the other folders should only have read privileges for the owner (you). When you create a file/folder, it inherits the permissions of the enclosing folder. So, if you create a new folder inside your home folder, it will automatically have read permissions for others. If you create a folder inside one of the default folders in home, it will only be readable by you.
You can change the permissions on those folders you create right inside the home folder so that others cannot read them.

I want to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox but I can't uninstall it. Nothing happens when I click remove in program access and defaults and the helper.exe file in the firefox uninstall dir doesn't do anything either.

"program access and defaults" is not the place to remove programs in Windows. You need to go to the control panel and click on Add and Remove programs. For instructions on how to uninstall Firefox, see [[Uninstalling Firefox]]

Can you open an existing illustrator file with the application default settings?

I need to open a customers illustrator files that he sends me with the default application settings, not the setting he saved with his file.

CS6 (Mac) but soon CC.
What is happening is they are saving the files with among other things, print scaling set to something other than 100%. If one of our operators does not catch it, the plate files are ripped at a smaller size than what they should be.
This customer does thier own production work and sends us "plate ready" files but sometimes forgets to change this setting back to 100% (he changes the scaling to something that will fit on a letter size page so he can check his separations).
I seem to recall (from years ago), there was a way to open a file using the applications default settings, not the settings saved within the file itself.

Need quick TIP: remove "Copy access and configuration settings" from added package

I added a modified package in APPVMAN with the option "Copy access and configuration settings".
Package is unpublished. But shows AD groups as a current package because I used the option "Copy access and configuration settings"
QUESTION:
How to Remove (and then add) the option "Copy access and configuration settings" from added package.
Cannot find it.
Thanks.

sorry for the panic :)
before publishing an updated package to existing groups of initial package I hit the option
"Copy access and configuration settings".
But first I wanted to test it for TEST group. Didn't think that AD settings will be applied (do it first time).
Just to confirm:
1. I will remove current groups from updated(unpublished package)
2. Will add Test group and test the package.
3 In case it is OK I can then add removed(needed) groups.
I want to be sure that after removing and adding needed groups all other settings will be intact.
Thanks.

Protected access and Default access

hi all,
Can you tell exact difference between protected access and default access.
Thanks in advance.

default (for classes*), also known as "package" or "package private": accessible from within that class and other classes in the same package.
protected: accessible from within that class, other classes in the same package, and subclasses.
*Note that for interfaces, the "default" access is pubic, not "package private".

Shifting entire site file structure! (and other issues!!)

Hi Folks
I've been working on a totally new look for my site and have pretty much finished it off. in my site file structure within my httpdocs folder I have my current index page and associated files, also within here I have a folder called Beta2 which is home to my new site (within this is the entire new file structure).
Now I'm ready to launch the 'new' site, but how do I get all the files from the Beta2 file to the main httpdocs folder without buggering all the links up!
Every time I've tried so far all my includes fail and all the links become defunct.
I should point out I'm not running a test server all my testing is online so I have a local copy of the file structure and an online copy.
On a slightly different point (an html one) can anyone work out why including this - in my form causes it to stop submitting! (it calls up a box displaying if the entered membershipno already exists or not, the function works fine, and the form submits fine, but when you put the two together only the function works, the forms doesn't submit!)
Membership Number :
 <input name="membershipno" type="text" id="membershipno" maxlength="7" />
 
 

This is partly a shameless bump, but also to say ignore the code issue I just really need to change file structure pretty quickly (by the 11th March!!)
If anyone can offer an explaination I'd really really appreciate it
Thanks a lot

Deployment and client settings issue

I have a VDI collection that I no longer want SCCM to deliver deployments too. All deplyments are user targeted by WMI query for the relevant AD Group.
I would still like use SCCM for remote control and software metering. So I have configure the following settings for the client and targeted the VDI collection.
However when I log onto VDI deployments are still processed and applications are being installed when they shouldn’t.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
Nick

Just to add a comment, un-checking a page in the client settings doesn't mean you've disabled something, it just means that that specific client settings package has no setting for those options and targeted clients will receive the settings from elsewhere
(typically the default client settings package but that depends on what you all have set up) but even then, many settings have default settings on the clients themselves. This is very similar to Group Policy: not configured doesn't mean don't do anything,
it just means do the default.

HT202612 Guided Access - set default settings?

I want to set my default Guided Access settings so that every time I turn it on, my volume and sleep/wake buttons are enabled. Is there a way to do this? Right now, I have to RE-set those specific settings every day for my next group of students.

IPhoto Printing and Default Settings

Help would be appreciated. All of sudden, with no other changes to my computer or my printer, when I try to print a photo to 4x6, 5x7, etc sized photo paper, the print is oriented to portrait, rather than to landscape. Can't find any settings to change the orientation. I've reset my printer to default factory settings. I've noticed that all of the print pre-sets in my computer are set to portrait, and I can't find a way to change the pre-sets. Very frustrating as I print quite a few pictures this way and have never had a problem. The only way I could print a 4x6 and get the whole picture is to print it on 8x10 paper. Thank you for any suggestions. Using MacBook Pro (2011), HP Officejet 8500 all-in-one, and iPhoto 9.5.1.

That indicates that the problem is limited to your account on the Mac. Since deleting the iPhoto preference file didn't help it could be another pref file that's messing up the process. Here's a way to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
Note: keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working. If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.

Importing WORD text files with formatting and Text Flow issues IDCS3

I am a designer who has used ID since it first came out, but have not been utilizing the larger document capabilities lately as I've been working in large format graphics (like really large, so if you have questions on that I can answer!). I am working on a new magazine and the copy is in WORD. I want to know the best way to bring in the text and keep the italic and bold formatting. The WORD docs have no style format done by the writers, so therefore changing the styles to my styles in the custom import section doesn't work. I tried making a character style sheet with no font chosen just "italics", but didn't work. I still was unable to make a paragraph style on top of it.
If anyone has a good methodology for bringing in WORD text and keeping it's attributes while applying ID style sheets please help!
Also with text flow, I have always had an issue with ID with not creating more pages to keep the flow going. In a test I just did I placed the text, but it did not create any new pages. I know there's a way to make that work, but spell it out for me like I'm a person losing their mind which seems to be the case!
Thank you in advance to the person who can give me advice!

What for settings do you have on the importoptions when bringing in Word? Keep formatting or loose formatting? And if loose formatting: is Keep local formatting on or off?

Files not supported and default applications?

i have an imac G5 that is running Mac osx 10.4.11 my cousin gave it to me and it has a lot of files that seemingly don't work like the icon has a big red circle with a line through it and when i click it i get a popup saying ''you cannot open this application because it is not supported on this system im thinking of going down to the apple store and buying like whatever the newest os thingy is but will that work cuz i dont wanna spend money on something that wont help Plus i have some programs that when i open it its like ''there is no default application to open starcraft.exe any help? thanks

An .exe application is for Windows so you can't use it on a Mac. Have you got the install discs? If so, try running Disk Utility from it and also, repair permissions in Disk Utility on the computer before you use the install disc. The best thing would be for you to perform an Archive and Install to clean things up.
Let us know how you make out,

File upload component and text area issue

Hi guys,
I have static text, text area and button on the same page. Text area binded to session bean value and all works fine (I can input text into text area and press button to save changes).
After adding file upload component to the same page I have got a problem - now after page refreshing the non english characters inside text gets trashed.
Other non english characters - inside static text components remains the same - the problem relates only to text area.
It looks like file upload component code has an encoding related bug. Is that a known issue?
And may be somebody have a workaround?
Thanks.

Hi Rom@n,
I did some checking and this issue is currently logged as: 6442528. It is scheduled to be available in the next patch release. I'm sorry I don't have a time frame for the patch since it is still waiting for other fixes.
Sorry for the inconvience.

Framemaker 7.0 consistently crashes when saving files as .rtf (and other related issues)

Thank you first of all for any help from anyone. Secondly, I apologize for any of my FrameMaker naivety, I am just a beginner with it really.
I am having a problem when saving out FrameMaker files to rtf format (for eventual conversion to word -- some people just want parts of book in word so they can mess around with it). Frequently, framemaker crashes and gives me a message such as this below. What can I do to get our documents into word format?
secondly, when i get them into word format, sometimes I have this problem when paragraph marks are turned on in word -- people that have recieved the word files I send them have complained about this and unfortunately they are people I cannot tell to just turn off the paragraph marks. Why is that repeated text inserted into the line? It should just say "Removing Constraints" (with no parenthesis marks). Some of our chapters are very long and manually removing this is not applicable.
thanks for any help!

About the {XE xxx} fields in your output file, that's the way FM converts index markers and their content when outputting RTF; FM automatically turns on the display of these fields. I believe it's the same with cross-references and all other kinds of marker output.
With MIF2Go you can specify what to do with each different type of marker, so you could choose to delete them completely if you wanted, or else to retain the markers but convert them to the correct index references in RTF. Here's the section in the MIF2Go manual about the markers:
http://www.omsys.com/dcl/usergd/rtfref_0120_5141_generating_an_index_in_word.htm#Xz105x557 827
http://www.omsys.com/dcl/usergd/rtfref_0119_514_modifying_word_output_after_conversion.htm
I'm not sure whether MIF2Go has a way to control the actual display of these fields in the RTF or not, or whether that would need to be done by a vbscript after the RTF has been generated.

Contact and Mail settings issue ?

Cannot open Contacts anymore after iOS5 upgrade. When I try to set Mail and Contact it crashes to the main screen. I did a complete restore but the problem is still there. icloud is not activated.
Also, when I try to sync the contacts with my computer, I get a message sayng that Contact is being used and cannot be accessed. Any idea on how to resolve this?

I actually discovered that the fix for the iPhone calendar not syncing correctly was either a recent MS update (We are using Exchange 2003) and or adjustment to Sites and Services in AD. So my fix above was not the fix after all. Some iPhone users during the last two weeks all of a sudden noticed their calendars were syncing and events were filled in.
From our Windows IT Admin when I asked them what they did:
“We ran Microsoft updates weekend before last, and we adjusted the Sites and Services part of AD so that our Domain Controllers are associated with their correct location (this change rendered RPC over HTTPS inoperable (it worked about 50% of the time prior to this change, based on which DC you authenticated against)).”

Presets and defaults get deleted when InDesign CS3 crashes

Every few days InDesign CS3 crashes. I don't know why, but that's not even the issue here. The problem is that when it does, all of my presets and default settings get erased.
Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening?
If I save my default settings (by which I mean measurements, color palette, default fonts, stuff like that) as a workspace, will that allow me to import it all again when it does happen? Or will my workspaces get deleted too?
This is getting really really really frustrating and I'd appreciate any advice on the matter!
Shari+

Read through the prior threads Peter posted. I see no solution offered. I
too have had this problem on two separate workstations from the day ID CS3
was installed. Intermitant, but it can be made to happen quite easily. I
have never had a problem with printing, just opening multiple files through
explorer.
I spend hours on the phone with Adobe tech support and they also could not
resolve the issue. Tried everything under the sun, including activating only
the bare minimum fonts required by the systems, creating new XP user
accounts, reinstalling the suite, deleting prefs, washing some files through
INX, defrag, turning off all processes other than ID... nada... still
problems. They gave up. So did I. Just living with it waiting for the next
update.
If someone has a fix for this, I'm all ears.
