Give it up for the PowerBook users!!!! YES!!!!

Just when I thought Apple was selling us 2 year old computer users out they go ahead and add "2 finger" trackpad for double click to the old laptops. They also added PhotoBooth and Front Row.
Thank You Apple, so far Leopard is rocking. Love it.

Hey Raindog,
We've got three old PowerBooks (12" 15" and 17") in the house along with our new Macs and this is REALLY good to know. I've got a lot of installing ahead of me, but might give these two machines a new lease.
Thanks much for posting this info.

When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine. Please help!

When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges). I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here. It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT. How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password. I reset it, but it did not change the problem. Can someone help me?

It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User

Hi, everybody
I'm just starting our attempt to put together ZfD app packages for MS Office 2007. I've tried 2 different route with poor results for each. I'm looking for guidance and suggestions and, hey really, the simple final solution. :)
Objectives: Each app package will install locally one of the Office apps (e.g., Word) if it is not installed and then launch it, otherwise it will launch it. It gets installed locally to the C: drive using all the MS default choices, but runs from the desktop ZEN/NAL shortcut. All desktops are XP, not Vista or W7.
Routes tried and failed...
1) Simple app, uses distribution and run scripts to figure out if already installed, then installs using network shared drive and config.xml file for just the one app. The result ought to work -- no particular error in the package, those are fixed -- but what happens is something different each time with the MS setup.exe, and it never does complete without its own error (various and different each time). So, this appears to be completely unreliable because launching MS's setup.exe from a simple app is unpredictable and incomplete.
2) Snapshot of a successful setup.exe and config.xml install. This ALMOST works... well it does in fact work but the snapshotted app gives an error once it finishes launching -- "Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User" -- and exits. From the research I've done on this message, the MS program sees the "wrong" Windows profile on the destination environment, compared to that in the snapshot, and figures it's now been installed from a bootleg copy of Office 2007.
At this stage all I can think of is expletives. We've paid for everything, I've followed all the usual and customary steps, played by the rules, been polite (and also used the necessary computer swear words), and now I just want to insult everyone in Microsoft's marketing department for ruining everyone's life yet again. Can't we just do this, is it too much to ask!?!
Please help me. What is really going to work for distributing and maintaining Office 2007 apps using our ZfD environment? ALL USEFUL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. Thank you. Bless you.

Be strong as a ship and wise as a whale

These questions are really best in the Microsoft Office Forums.
These are MS Office Questions not ZEN Questions.
Novell did not design Microsoft's Office Install.
I have nothing against snapshots, but it does not work great with the Office
installs, which you yourself know since you are posting here with problems
based on that.
And your other method you are trying with the break out is not working well.
We also know that from experience.
We can tell you that the way most people install it and the way most people
succeed doing it, is by doing it the way recommended and designed by
Microsoft.
ZEN does that just fine.

GPO - Restricts the UI languages Windows should use for the selected user - not applying correctly on RDS 2012 R2

Hi All,
we have a Citrix XenApp 7.5 Farm with Windows Server 2012 R2 Servers and multiple (english, german, italian, spanish, french...) languages installed.
I've created a GPO with settings 'Restricts the UI languages Windows should use for the selected user' to for example 'German'.
Now when a user logs on to the server, the UI language is in german, but when i open Control Panel\Language: There is still English (United States) with Keyboard Layout: US, German.
It seems that the GPO is not changing all settings correctly to german.
Does anybody know what could be wrong?
best regards,
Siegmund

Hi Siegmund,
>>Now when a user logs on to the server, the UI language is in german, but when i open Control Panel\Language: There is still English (United States) with Keyboard Layout: US, German
Based on the description, the policy setting should have been applied successfully. Here, did we logged onto the server via remote desktop services? If yes, what's the keyboard layout on the computer we used to RDP to the server? Before going further,
I assume that this can be caused by Auto detect Remote Keyboard layout feature introduced since Windows Server 2008.
Regarding this point, the following artcile can be referred to for more information.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.
Hello,
I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
but I need to ask questions.
Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

For starters,
DO:
Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
Try to understand their level of computer literacy
Keep your conversation non-technical
Continue to interact with the users during the design and
development process
Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
project progresses
DON'T:
Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
Talk down to them
Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
requirements and they have approved them

Auth: Restrict Infoobject for Queries differently for the same user

Hi guys,
I need to restrict an infoobject differently for some queries (analysis authorization). For example, I need to give full hierarchie access for query 1 to user 1. But for another query for the same user I need to restrict the hierarchie authorization. Furthermore, both queries are based on the same multi provider. It is not possible to use different multi provider ... the adjustment effort is to high (to many queries).
I have set up an authorization with rsecadmin
QUERY1:
ZHier1     Hyrarchie 1
ZHier2     Hyrarchie 2
0TCAACTVT     Activity in Analysis Authorizations
0TCAIPROV     Authorizations for InfoProvider
0TCAVALID     Validity of an Authorization
0TCTQUERY     Query
-->I added the respective values for the queries, the used multiprovider, hierarchies, etc.
I have set up the same for QUERY 2 with different Hierarchy and Query values, but it does not work correctly. The user is always authorized for the hierarchie values of both queries.
Thanks foryour helpin advance!!
Regards,
Sven

Hi Sankar,
Sorry for the confusion. Lets focus only one hierarchy ... ZHier1.
QUERY1:
ZHier1     -> value: node2
0TCAACTVT     -> value: 2 & 3
0TCAIPROV -> value: multiprovider1
0TCAVALID     -> value: *
0TCTQUERY     -> value: query1 (based on multiprovider1)
QUERY2:
ZHier1     -> value: node2.1 (sub node of node 2)
0TCAACTVT     -> value: 2 & 3
0TCAIPROV -> value: multiprovider1
0TCAVALID     -> value: *
0TCTQUERY     -> value: query2 (based on multiprovider1)
But this does not work. When I use query2 in reports the user has access to node2 and not only to node2.1.
Any idea?
Thanks again!
Sven

Multiple sessions for the same user

Hi,
The scenario is like this. The user is logged into the system using JAAS and
has a session object created. I want to create a new session for the same user
with the already available credentials. This is to provide the same user the access
to the application in another window with different session object. How can do
that in Weblogic 8.1 server ?
thanks in advance,
Krishna.

Hi
I think it would be easier to enable session time out settings using GPO considering you work in a domain environment..
Having session timeouts settings you could say... hey after 15 min of inactivity disconnect the user and then after 15 min of disconnected session log him off
Take a look at this URL: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754272.aspx
Hope this helps

How can I create a custom environment for the guest user in Mavericks?

Hello Mavericks insiders
I need to setup several new MacBooks running Mavericks for school use. We want to use guest because everything is reset at each login. However, I first need to permanently customise the environment for the guest user:
- doing program first runs
- adjusting printer settings
- dock settings
- wallpper
I think I have to copy certain library files in the Terminal. Which files exactly? From where to where? What is the correct Terminal syntax to do so?
Many thanks in advance!

suresh.m2015,
It's going to be impossible for anyone in this forum to help with your issue if you don't provide any more detail about your environment and Apex installation. However, from your post it looks like the Apex database objects are missing or invalid.
Did you follow the Apex installation guide step by step? For example, did you run apexins.sql?
It's important to follow the documentation. The script you are running to change the admin user password should not be run until after the Apex installation is complete.

After a system crash your Aperture Library may be corrupted, because Aperture may not have been able to finish the ongoing database transactions.
Have you tried the Aperture Library First Aid Tools?

Changed Ulimits values for the Oracle user and getting error -bash: ulimit: max user processes: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted when logging in.

I'm trying to increate the ulimits for max user processes and open files for the oracle user. I've set the values in limits.conf, /etc/profile and in oracle's environment scripts. Now when I log in as oracle I get the below errors. If I change the ulimits back to the original values errors go away but ulimits aren't changed.
