Firefox download does not give a global icon on the desktop. There is an orange box with a slot labelled firefox. I cannot install firefox.

I am using an iMac with system 10.6.8 and a Safari browser. When I download the firefox program, I do not get the usual global firefox icon. I get a rectangular box with a slot at the end and the label "Firefox". If I transfer this icon to my Applications folder, this icon becomes an alias which cannot be transferred to the Dock. How can I install Firefox?

This problem has been solved. Thank you.

    No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
    You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

  • Sys.sql_Module does not give full defination of store procedure

    I want to get a defination of a store procedure by using sys.sql_Module
    Beflow is the query i use 
    SELECT  
    @spTxt =ISNULL(smsp.definition, ssmsp.definition)) 
    FROM sys.all_objects AS sp
    LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.sql_modules AS smsp ON smsp.object_id = sp.object_id
    LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.system_sql_modules AS ssmsp ON ssmsp.object_id = sp.object_id
    WHERE (sp.type = N'P' OR sp.type = N'RF' OR sp.type='PC')and(sp.name=@SpName 
    and SCHEMA_NAME(sp.schema_id)=@SchemaName)
    @SchemaName = SCHEMA 
    ANd @SpName = Store procedure Name.
    This query does not give me complete store procedure.
    Is there any other table i need to join and I can get full defination?
    Thank you.

    You're confusing what's being stored vs what's being displayed. The full proc is being stored in the definition column. It's just that SSMS won't display the full content of the cell.
    The following is a proc that we use to overcome this situation... (I have no clue who the original author is)
    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[LongPrint]
    @String NVARCHAR(MAX)
    AS
    Example:
    exec LongPrint @string =
    'This String
    Exists to test
    the system.'
    /* This procedure is designed to overcome the limitation
    in the SQL print command that causes it to truncate strings
    longer than 8000 characters (4000 for nvarchar).
    It will print the text passed to it in substrings smaller than 4000
    characters. If there are carriage returns (CRs) or new lines (NLs in the text),
    it will break up the substrings at the carriage returns and the
    printed version will exactly reflect the string passed.
    If there are insufficient line breaks in the text, it will
    print it out in blocks of 4000 characters with an extra carriage
    return at that point.
    If it is passed a null value, it will do virtually nothing.
    NOTE: This is substantially slower than a simple print, so should only be used
    when actually needed.
    DECLARE @CurrentEnd BIGINT, /* track the length of the next substring */
    @offset TINYINT /*tracks the amount of offset needed */
    SET @string = REPLACE( REPLACE(@string, CHAR(13) + CHAR(10), CHAR(10)) , CHAR(13), CHAR(10))
    WHILE LEN(@String) > 1
    BEGIN
    IF CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), @String) BETWEEN 1 AND 4000
    BEGIN
    SET @CurrentEnd = CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), @String) -1
    SET @offset = 2
    END
    ELSE
    BEGIN
    SET @CurrentEnd = 4000
    SET @offset = 1
    END
    PRINT SUBSTRING(@String, 1, @CurrentEnd)
    SET @string = SUBSTRING(@String, @CurrentEnd+@offset, 1073741822)
    END /*End While loop*/
    GO
    To use the proc, you'd do something like this...
    DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(MAX)
    SELECT @sql = sm.definition FROM sys.sql_modules sm WHERE sm.object_id = 892230629
    EXEC dbo.LongPrint @sql

    Where are you looking to download them from ? You might be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes. If that album shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading then that implies that it's still in your iTunes library

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
