Finder sidebar doesn't work for networking?

Does anybody else find that the sidebar in finder doesn't work when you network your computer to a pc network? I SEE the file servers when I click on "all" but when I double click on one of them it always says "connection failed". The only way I can access the network is to go to "Go" then "connect to server" then type in smb://ipaddress and have the server directly mounted to desktop (after changing finder preferences to show mounted volumes on desktop). Does the finder sidebar just not work then in leopard or am I doing something wrong?

When you click on it, it will try and log on as user guest with no password. This will nearly always fail on a windows box.
top right of the window pain there should then appear an option to 'connect as', click this and type in a valid username and password. Tick the box to add it to your keychain and it should then always connect when you click on the sidebar.

Find Topic Doesn't Work for Priorities

In the Topic List pod I want to Find Topics by priority but it doesn’t work. Here’s what I’m doing:
1.      Ensure at least one topic has a priority of ‘1’.
2.      Click on the Find Topic icon and select the Advanced tab.
3.      Enter a string in the File Name Includes field (e.g., reports) that returns a set of Found Topics that include the topic I have set to priority ‘1’. At this stage, I can see in the Found Topics that it is actually priority ‘1’ (see first image below).
4.      Change the priority dropdown to ‘higher than’ and leave the corresponding text field set to ‘5’.
The result is ‘No topics found’ (see second image below).
I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I’m using RoboHelp 9.0.0.228.

That works!
I was thinking that 1 was the highest priority when the filter was just working on a simple numerical value.
Thank you!

Snap-To-Grid Finder feature doesn't work for mounted data CDs (Icon View)

I always use Icon View in Finder. And I AM aware of the CMD+J --> Arrange by --> Snap-To-Grid feature. I've set it for all my other Finder windows for my startup drive, and it works. (Actually, I set it to auto-arrange by Kind.) I've even used it as the default setting by clicking the "Set As Defaults" button at the bottom of the View Options window.
But there seems to be a weird glitch where every time I insert a burned data CD with icon folders and such, my Finder window always opens a mess of icons, one on top of each other. I keep setting it back to CMD+J --> Arrange by --> Kind, and the icons organize into grids right after. I click "Set As Defaults" again. But when I eject the CD, then mount it again, Finder gives me a mess of one-on-top-of-the-other icons all over again. What gives? I just want to be able to set all my files to auto-arrange in Finder by Kind.

But when I eject the CD, then mount it again, Finder gives me a mess of one-on-top-of-the-other icons all over again
Of course it will.
The CD is read-only - it can't be written to. Since the window position, view settings, layout, etc. are stored in the directory, there's no way for the Finder to write the changed settings back to the disk before you eject it.
The issue occurs because what you're seeing is how the window was laid out when the disk was burned in the first place.
Your solution is to re-burn the disk, positioning the icons where you want them before starting the burn.

The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that wifi network

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

Find function cntrl-f doesn't work for long pages. frustrating

Works well on IE, though I'd like to stick with FF.

Help: In Finder, "Applications" in left sidebar doesn't work.

Very weird.
In Finder, "Applications" in sidebar doesn't work now. when I click it, it popups a dialog says "no default applications specified to open document 'Applications'" and no app displayed. And if I right-click it and select "get info", it shows 'Applications' is a package.
What's wrong? It's driving me crazy. No application can be selected now, except in terminal.
Thanks in advance.

I've heard of this sort of thing happening (though I can't imagine how), but the "has bundle" attribute might be set on the folder. If you have the "XCode (Developer) Tools" installed (it is included as an option in the OS X installer disks, or can be downloaded from Apple), try:<pre>sudo /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a b /Applications</pre>

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

The enclosure in RSS feed doesn't work for Itune

I subscribed to my podcast rss feed to ITune, which was valid and had been tested successfully with other aggregator such as Ipodder, however, it doesn't work for ITune. When I hit "get" button next to my podcast name, I always get "!" sign in front of the name, and when I clicked it, I got error message "There was a problem downloading 'XXXXX'. The network connection could not be made".
I'm not sure if this problem resulted from the "rewrite" function I used on my podcasting server in order to track the downloading. Here is how it works: When a mp3 file is requested, my web server will redirect the request to another asp.net program to do something and then redirect to the real mp3 file for downloading. Can it be problem in Itune? But I can use this enclosure url to download this mp3, and also the Ipodder works file with this rss feed.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.
However, according to the iTune specs as following,
Tracking Usage
Please note that iTunes does not provide usage statistics. Some podcasters have created mechanisms for tracking the number of times that each episode has been downloaded. iTunes does not provide support in how to track downloads, but the following notes may be helpful:
* 302s will be followed to a depth of 5 redirects and will not update the feed URL in the directory.
* The URL before the GET-style form values (before the first ?) must end in a media file extension (e.g. mp3). To work around this, the feed provider can alter their URL from this:
http://www.podcaster.com/load.php?f=&Wipeout.php
to this:
http://www.podcaster.com/load.mp3?f=&Wipeout.mp3
Notice how it says load.mp3 instead of load.php. It should be possible to accomplish this via various means, such as web server rewrites. iTunes looks at the extension of the path part of the url, i.e. the part before the”?”.
The http request redirection is allowed as long as the appropriate file extension such as ".mp3" is used.
By the way, I tested it with "no redirection" version, which worked fine.

[BUG]: MakeWritable doesn't work for mac

I'm trying to use oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.MakeWritableHelper in my plugin, and I found it doesn't work for MAC. The byte code shows it only check the osname for "Windows" and "Linux".
and some Jdeveloper refactoring feature failed due to can't make file writable, they may also related to this class.

My MAC version is OSX 10.5.4.
I don't have a stacktrace. It just fails silently.
You can easily reproduce this bug by reformat a readonly file.
Here is the code I reverse engineered from oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.Util.java:
public static boolean setReadOnly(java.net.URL url, boolean readOnly)
boolean ret = false;
java.lang.String cmdarray[] = null;
java.lang.String platformPathName = oracle.ide.net.URLFileSystem.getPlatformPathName(url);
java.lang.String osName = java.lang.System.getProperty("os.name", "");
if(osName.startsWith("Windows"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"ATTRIB", readOnly ? "+R" : "-R", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
else
if(platformPathName.equalsIgnoreCase("Linux"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"chmod", readOnly ? "u-w" : "u+w", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
if(cmdarray != null)
java.lang.Runtime runtime = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
try
java.lang.Process process = runtime.exec(cmdarray);
if(process.waitFor() == 0)
ret = (new File(platformPathName)).canWrite();
if(ret)
oracle.ide.model.Node node = oracle.ide.model.NodeFactory.find(url);
if(node instanceof oracle.ide.model.TextNode)
oracle.ide.model.TextNode textNode = (oracle.ide.model.TextNode)node;
textNode.isReadOnly();
catch(java.io.IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return ret;
}

Microphone doesn't work for Creative Live! Cam Socialize HD AF HD Webcam

Microphone doesn't work for Creative Live! Cam Socialize HD AF HD Webcam (for Windows 7).
I have to use external microphone from Logitech now.
I send few emails to Customer Service. They answered once to check my Device Manager and disappeared after that. I'm really disappointed.
It looks like the drivers for Windows 7 are wrong.

hey Killthebeeping,
if you have the USB Mic connected kindly remove it first then uninstall the audio drivers for your B510.
let windows install its generic driver.
once done plugin your usb mic and test it again.

Hi, KK93.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue. However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

HT1595 My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

I just went through this last night. (Aug 15, 2013)
What I did to get back up and running. This is not the first time I have lost the network connection with my Apple TV 3
Products effected: Apple TV 3 and Home Sharing (My Apple TV 1 was not effected)
Power down (unplug) the Apple TV and power down your router ( in my case, it is a FIOS router, flipping the on/off works fine).
Power both items back up.
At this point, I usually can reenter my Apple ID and PW. and reconnect Home Sharing. But for some reason I was unable to reconnect last night but was able to get it reconnected in the morning. I was jut to tired to deal with it last night.
A new issue that is was able to fix after a good nights sleep.
I did figure out, (after trying to reenter my ID and PW many times and having it tell me that my ID and PW was wrong), that when using the Apple TV on screen keypad to type in the user ID. DO NOT use the ".com" keypad button. Instead type out each character for .com. ( or what ever ending you use for your ID account.)
Once I typed out my full ID and PW. everything is back to 100%

With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message even when im using the phone, has this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.
