Firestarter fails to start as a daemon, any way to keep retrying?

Hello,
I connect via wifi using network-manager (the connection starts even before logging into the desktop, it was like that at least the day I tested it). This is my daemons line in /etc/rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal laptop-mode cpufreq !network dhcdbd networkmanager netfs firestarter fail2ban cups fcron alsa)
At boot, "starting failstarter" fails. If I do ps, I cannot see firestarter. It only starts running when I log into the desktop, and launch firestarter's gui as root. So this kind of protection is not good, because other users do not have the root password and/or may forget to start firestarter's gui.
Any ideas why firestarter fails to start as a daemon?
Thank you very much in advance.

I'm not that sure, really. Total networking noob speaking here, but I just figured it won't matter what ports get hit so long as there are no server processes waiting on them.
Don't take my word for it.
Correct me ASAP if I'm wrong, please.

B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you!

When I listen to music on my iPhone and pause it, if I come back to it later, the playlist has started over. I have a 4S running on iOS 7.0.4. Is there any way to keep this from happening so that my playlist will start off where I last was?

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

Any way to keep faxing/scanning after "Print-head problem"??

We've got a "Print-head has problem" message. Ordered new print-head (before seeing another poster's message saying "I did that twice and it didn't help!) but it won't arrive for several days. Meanwhile we'd love to still be able to use this alleged "all in one" to scan and fax.
Problem is, there doesn't seem to be a way to escape from the "print-head problem" message--none of the "cancel" or fax buttons will work. Cycling the power just recovers the same message again, and otherwise locked up.
I'm hoping some old hand at HP may actually read this and know the magic fix.
So the question: Is there any way to keep using the 7780's fax and/or scan functions after getting a "print-head has problem" message?
BTW, we've had several problems with the 7780 in the 3 years we've had it. Had to send one back, and the auto-feeder has been hit-and-miss. But we've been able to work thru the problems with HP support--though certainly at a high cost in our time. Then with the problems getting a new Windoze-7 computer to work with it (certainly not entirely HP's fault but your customers could have used some better planning for the thing), we're starting to look at other manufacturers.
If any HP managers or execs ever read these boards, you might keep in mind that a reputation, once lost, is extremely hard to recover.
In any event, any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Kappy, While my network is the only one in my preferred list, it's not the only one that the airport "sees". When I click on the wireless signal strength icon in the upper right part of the menu, when connected to my network, it says at the top of the pop up list "Airport: Scanning". It then lists about 10 wireless networks that are in range.
What I want it to do is stop "scanning" for other networks and simply lock on to my network once connection has been established. Is there a way to do this do you know? Thanks, Dan

Any way to keep audiobooks separate from eBooks?

I have an extensive collection of ebooks (formerly in LIT form) that I've been collecting over the years. I also have more than 40 audiobooks from audible. Any way to keep these separate in iTunes? Some are books with the same name (an audio and text version of the same book) and sorting/searching is getting cumbersome.
In particular, sometimes I want to sync a certain audiobook to an iPod (a nano, so syncing the whole collection isn't appropriate), wihle I want to maintain and organize my ebooks on my iPad. Now that they're both in the place in iTunes, it's incredibly annoying.

Start by creating a few Smart Playlists, based on the Media Kind of the entry, like in this screenshot:
At the least you'll create two, one for Audiobooks and one for Books. This will let you look at one or the other in iTunes. You may have others you'd like to create, based on genre, tags you put in the Comments field, etc.
For your device-specific sync settings, iTunes already has separate controls for sync'ing books vs. audiobooks. You shouldn't have any difficulty keeping them separate, but if you do, here again you might find Smart or normal Playlists to be useful. Sync against a playlist, instead of using the Sync All option.

Is there any way to keep declined meetings on my calendar?

Hello all,
As much as I understand that declined meetings are deleted from the calendar, is there any way to keep them so that I can recall the dates of these meetings, and request updates or summaries? I wish they were grayed out so I could still refer to the data.
Any ideas?
BY THE WAY, this is exchange mail/calendar appointments.
Thanks.

There isn't one. When the computer wakes up, the display is on. You could set a screensaver with a dark background to start automatically after a certain amount of idle time, and require a password to unlock it, but you'd still see the bright login window.
It also occurs to me that you might be able to set up a task that would dim the screen automatically at a specified time, and brighten it at another time. If you're interested in that option, I'll look into it when I have the time.

Any way to keep files updates within folders?

Hey guys.. I am experimenting with iPhoto, and had a few quick questions.
I just imported a folder, containing the folder structure I use to organize a specific set of pics on my hard drive. They're reference/inspiration shots for my own photography. I was stoked to discover that each folder became an "event".
However my library is "managed", so while they weren't deleted from their location, the shots I am looking at inside of iPhoto are now contained inside the iPhoto Library file. Is that correct?
As I'm always adding files to those folders, and occasionally moving them around manually, my main question I have is concerning whether there's any way to keep those "events" up to date with what files are in the actual folders?
I'm not opposed to having a 2nd REFERENCED library File for this sole purpose.
In a Managed Library:
Is there any way to add a file to a folder manually using the finder, and have iPhoto recognize that it contains a new file and update itself when I view that "event"? Or can I update it manually at least? Like a "refresh".
In a Referenced Library:
- Can I keep the "event" up to date with changes to the referenced folder?
In Either case:
- If I delete/move a file from a folder via the finder, will the "event" be corrupted, or "missing" a file?
- If I delete/move a file a file from an event via iPhoto, will the file be deleted in reality, or just the reference/management of it?
- If I find that some of my iPhoto "events" could be combined into one for ease of navigation:
a) Can I do this? How? b) Will that change the folder structure of my original ile?
Finally,
- If I go with 2 libraries (Managed for personal shots, and Referenced for other peoples shots), how do I switch between libraries? (I'd want the Managed/Personal shots to open upon launch by default.)
Cheers! Thanks in advance!
Ben

You're not quite getting what iPhoto is, what a managed and referenced Libraries are.
iPhoto is a Photo Manager. It replaces the Finder for anything to do with your Photos. It's your go-to app whenever you want to add, delete, view, manage or whatever your photos.
A Managed Library means that iPhoto manages the actual files. They are copied to the Library package on import.
A Referenced Library means that you manage the files. Then import them. After that you never access the files again. It's all done via iPhoto.
So, what you're trying to do - syncing a folder system with an iPhoto Library - is unnecessarily complex. Either use the Finder for your Photo or use iPhoto (or similar apps, like Aperture, Lightroom etc)
However my library is "managed", so while they weren't deleted from their location, the shots I am looking at inside of iPhoto are now contained inside the iPhoto Library file. Is that correct?
Correct.
As I'm always adding files to those folders, and occasionally moving them around manually, my main question I have is concerning whether there's any way to keep those "events" up to date with what files are in the actual folders?
You can do this with Automator, Apple Script or with an app like Hazel: http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.php
But... why would you? iPhoto is a photo manager, why are you using the Finder for the job as well. Rather than update those folders, why not just import the updates to iPhoto?
I'm not opposed to having a 2nd REFERENCED library File for this sole purpose.
It would make no difference. All it does is make more work for exactly zero benefit.
In a Referenced Library:
- Can I keep the "event" up to date with changes to the referenced folder?
See above. But remember that every new import means at least one new event, so you'll need to consolidate events after the import.
In Either case:
- If I delete/move a file from a folder via the finder, will the "event" be corrupted, or "missing" a file?
Yes. In a Managed Library you never delete anything via the Finder. That's all done from within the iPhoto Window. (See what I mean about it replacing the Finder?). In a Referenced Library you need to delete the images from iPhoto first. Then you delete them from the folder structure. (See? More work/no benefit)
- If I delete/move a file a file from an event via iPhoto, will the file be deleted in reality, or just the reference/management of it?
In a Managed LIbrary the shot gets moved to the iPhoto trash. Empty that and it's moved to the system trash. Empty that and it's gone. For Referenced see above.
- If I find that some of my iPhoto "events" could be combined into one for ease of navigation:
a) Can I do this? How? b) Will that change the folder structure of my original ile?
You can consolidate Events simply by dragging one to another. You can move photos between event susing Flagging and so on. No, the files on the disk are never moved at all regardless.
Again, the location of the files on the disk makes no difference as you never access them anyway.
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
If I go with 2 libraries (Managed for personal shots, and Referenced for other peoples shots), how do I switch between libraries? (I'd want the Managed/Personal shots to open upon launch by default.)
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Here's a post that describes why Referenced Libraries are a bad idea
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
A General comment:
Deep breath. This is simple and you're making it very complex.
Use one managed Library. You can easily separate your personal work from these inspirational photos with a keyword. Events are a very limited form of organisation. iPhoto gets its real power from Albums and keyword. For instance:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Any way to keep apps on my ipod touch but not keep copies of them on my PC?

Is there any way to keep apps on my ipod touch but not keep copies of them on my PC? I have space issues on my PC, so I don't want to have to keep copies there. I deleted the apps from my PC, but when I synced my ipod to add some photos, all my apps were deleted from my ipod. Is there any way to be able to just sync photos and music, and not apps? Seems I am able to manually manage music, which allows me to not have to keep my music library stored on my PC, but can't get the photos to sync without the apps syncing too.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm new at this.
Thanks.

you would be better off to move your iTunes library to an external drive, thus freeing up space on your startup disk. this read will tell you how http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364.

I know I am responding to my own thread, but I an SOOOO disgusted with Apple right now.
The new iOS 7 was the lead story on CNN today... and it wasn't positive. Easy to see why, it's a graphics disaster. It is ugly, difficult to read, doesn't interface aesthetically with the iPhone 4S, and gives everyone in America vertigo. Either fix the appearance, or find some way to allow us to roll back to our previous iOS. Do so quickly, or this life-long Apple customer [circa 1978] will be moving on. If this represents shades of what is coming with OS Maverick, I am petrified. Further, I am a GM of a chain of newspapers and websites in the Austin, Texas area. I will be ripping out a scathing editorial. The notion that we can't roll back from something millions of us hate is despicable. I'm giving you one week. Be sure I am not alone.

Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?

I have an iphone 4s. Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification? I keep it next to my bed at night and keep thinking there is lightning when something comes thru. LOL

Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn LED Flas for Alerts to Off.

Is there ANY way to keep track of changes or versions in a dynamic form, viewed in Reader

I need to provide a measure of content control.
I looked at acrobat.com for help. There is a rather convoluted method and I don't know if I can get my company to go along with it.
I have a dynamic form and it has to be dynamic, so I cannot change it to static to give it Comment/Markup ability - out of the question.
Does anyone know of ANY way to keep track of changes or comments or anything? And if you know, please be as specific as possible.
Thanks!

No replies, so I assume that there isn't any way to do this at present. Do people agree that this would be a really useful feature?

Is there any reason that my lock keeps unlocking in my network settings? Is there any way to keep it locked? It sure is inconvenient when I have to reboot to get back on the internet and re-lock that lock.

You could try changing the settings in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Advanced/Require an Administator password to access locked preferences
But this will affect all Preference settings.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.
