Flash not appearing when run locally

Hi, I am having a weird issue with a user. He cannot display a swf when run locally on his machine in a browser. If he goes online he sees the movies fine. To test I sent him a movie with just an image in it and published to html. I double click the html page and can see the movie and image fine. He does the same on his machine and gets nothing just a blank page. Problem is we have an java app that runs local (using port 8000) and opens separate movies in new windows that he can never see.
Thanks in advance,
P.

It sounds like you are having a file trust problem. To resolve that, you have to trust this file from the Flash Global Settings Manager.
Go there: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
Add a path to the local file, restart browser and try again.

Contacts' name not appearing when called locally while travelling !!!

iPhone 3G 3.0
When called locally abroad during travel the contact name does not appear. I have stored all my numbers in Int'l format.
Is there a fix / tool to sort out this issue?

I used to experience this. What I do now is store multiple versions of the same number, with and without the country codes. Mostly I use the country code version to dial out, while the phone uses the non-country code version to ID in-coming calls.
For example, Contact "Buddy #238" may have two phone numbers, even though he really has just the one:
78 (555) 123-1234, and
(555) 123-1234
I'd use the first to call out, but the in-coming calls may tend to show up as the second. Coming to think of it, which of the two number formats does your caller ID display when your friends call? Does any of this seem applicable at all? If you notice a different format for in-coming calls, just add that number to the existing contact(s).

Bex selection screen does not appear when running workbook via RRMX.

Hi Experts,
I have following problem: When I run a BEx workbook from a user menu (trans. RRMX), I get no selection screen, but just the workbook with text: "no data found". When I press the refresh button (variable change button), the selection screen appears and after that the data are visible in the workbook. When I run the underlying query the selection screen appears normally. With some other workbooks with selections I do not have such a problem.
Anybody can give me a hint how to get the selection screen diplayed? We are on BI 7.1, Bex SP 10, patch 1.
Thank you,
Michal

Dear Michal,
Your Question:
Anybody can give me a hint how to get the selection screen diplayed? We are on BI 7.1, Bex SP 10, patch 1.
Answer:
Open the workbook and goto workbook setting from the analyzer design toolbar.
Check the Refresh workbook on check box.
So every time the selection screen will be appear after exectuion of the workbook.
Thanks & Regards,

Form does not appear when run through Form Builder

Hello,
We are trying to get a new installation of Form Builder 10g to work. When we try to run the form, the Forms Service browser comes up, but the form does not. We are likely missing a setting in some config file. Can anyone help us?
Thank you,

Thanks for your efforts.
I have searched the forum, but maybe have not hit the correct key words yet. If you can suggest better search parameters than I have used, I will try again.
The popup blocker settings are the same as on other PCs that work correctly.
Our tnsnames is also good, as we are connecting through Form Builder.
I tried researching the error message that was requested, but the error code and message did not match up.
I would appreciate any other suggestions.

The download button does not appear when I try to download Flash Player

The download button does not appear when I try to download Flash Player on my MacBook Pro. I'm using Firefox. I uninstalled Flash Player yesterday and can't download the newest version 11.6.602.180 today, help!

Here's the current link to the offline installer:

Are you running any ad-blocking or anti-tracking plugins? When the product download center appears broken, those are common contributors.

Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
Good luck.

Some CGM graphics do not appear when FrameMaker files are converted to PDF

CGM files are exported from ISO (Arbortext Isodraw 7.0 CadProcess) files. Then they are imported into Adobe FrameMaker 7.2, where all elements of the illustration are visible and can be printed. The FrameMaker FM file is converted to a PDF file using the Adobe PDF converter function of Frame. When the PDF file is opened by Adobe Acrobat 8,0 Professional, some, but not all of the illustrations in the file exhibit this problem (The callouts and other text may appear, but the lines, curves, etc. do not). The illustration prints the same way it appears on the screen. When exporting the ISO file as a CGM, the following selections are made.
When importing file into Frame, "Import by Reference" is selected.
When creating PDF in Frame, the following selections are made.
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thanks, Michael.
I will give it a try.

First you should update to the latest version of Acrobat 8, since you say
you are running Acrobat 8, you should update to 8.2.5. Update your
FrameMaker to 7.2p158. Those two steps might do the trick. If that fails
try using a different settings file. Perhaps High Quality or Press
Quality. I would never use Standard for anything where fidelity is

Are these local or online documents? If online, in what browser?

Sorting array not working when run as a job

I have a Powershell script that reads data from a log file, extracts a username and adds it to an array. I then sort the array to remove duplicates and export the data to a CSV file. The script works fine when run locally on the server but I need to call
the script remotely for a number of servers and when I do this it does not output anything to the CSV. The script is run as a job.
$ArrList = [System.Collections.ArrayList]@()
# open file and read data
$arrlist.Add("$final")
$arrlist | sort -unique | out-file c:\scripts\iis_users.csv
If I change the script to use add-content it can add entries to the same CSV file. But ideally I need to sort the output as there are many duplicates.

Not sure why but that would only export the last user. I didn't have time to investigate so instead I decided to only add users to the array after first checking they didn't exist already:
if ($arrlist -notcontains $final)
$arrlist.Add("$final")
add-content c:\scripts\iis_users.csv "$final"
I thought this would create a performance hit but it seems almost as fast.

Images on Facebook do not appear when using different web browsers

Images on Facebook do not appear when using Safari on my Macbook Pro (I've tried Google Chrome too with the same result). This makes me think it's a setting within OS Mavericks that I'm missing. I have not seen this issue on any other computers. This only occurs on my, and others' profile pictures on my profile page and on the news feed, not photos that are posted in albums or on walls. and yes, i have images enabled in Safari.
In safari the images don't appear, and in their place is a small blue "?" square >>.
In Chrome it appears as a broken image link >>
Has anyone encountered this? Is there a fix? It is very annoying.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Photos in 9.2 do not appear when viewed through screen sharing

I recently upgraded my Mac Mini, which stores my master iPhoto library, to iPhoto 9.2. Because this Mac Mini is also used as a media server for an AppleTV, I almost always operate the computer through screen sharing using a MacBook Pro, rather than connecting it to a television. Both computers are running OS 10.6.8.
Since upgrading this setup to iPhoto 9.2, I can no longer view photos in my iPhoto library through screen sharing. Previously, I had noticed that I could not view certain other things through screen sharing (such as watching DVD's). For example, I couldn't view individual photos in detail in iPhoto, but I could view them in grid view. Now I cannot even view them in grid view anymore.
Is there a graphics library that is not compatible with screen sharing that is now being completely used by iPhoto? Is there a setting that I can check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Michael.
I will give it a try.

How do I enlarge the "presenter notes" window when running my presentation on an external display?

In the latest version of Keynote, the "Presenter Notes" window is a small horizontal field at the bottom of the presenter's computer screen. Only 3-4 lines of text can be seen. This means that when you have a few paragrahs of notes, you have to scroll through them as you are presenting. This is very cumbersome. In the previous version of Keynote you could change the relative size of the slides versus the "presenter's notes" boxes when running a presentation on an external display, but in the new version, I can't find a way of enlarging the "presenter's notes" field.
Also, in the new version, the preview slide doesn't show the initial text on the next slide if that text emerges as a "dissolve in" build when you advance forward through your slides. I always have the initial text on my slides automatically "dissolve in" after each slide transtion. But in the new version of Keynote, when in presenter mode, I can't see any of the text on the "next slide." This makes it difficult to anticipate what slide comes next . . . without going to the Navigator. Does any one have a solution for this?
Thank you.

I figured it out with the help of a post from a few days ago. Although posted for a different problem, I followed these steps from Cornelia-I and it worked like a charm:
You can change the link of LR to the images from the network drive to your local drive, best done on parent folder level: right-click the highest folder in library left panel, and choose update storage location. In the opening dialog window point it to your internal folder.

I am using a ~7 month old macbook air with mavericks.
Any tips to get rid of this issue would be greatly appreciated.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
