  • Has anyone found a photo-mosaic program that works well with Aperture?

    I'd like to make all the photos in a Library available, without duplicating them.  Seems a shoe-in for a plug-in, but perhaps there is no demand.
    Never done mosaics, so all rec's welcome.  .
    Thanks.

    Never done mosaics, so all rec's welcome. 
    I have never done that before either, but I just downloaded the trial version of mazaika:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33417/mazaika
    It can import projects and smart albums from Aperture and iPhoto, then you import a template image, and then Mozaika will create a mozaik - I found it intuitive and easy to use. But it is no free software and the trial is restricted to 2000x2000 pixels. So it is hard to judge, how good the result will be.

  • Has anyone used Trash It utility

    Has anyone used the Trash It utility to empty a trash that will not empty? I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

    Wish you had mentioned that to start. For such things like it see:

  • Has anyone download the Airport Utility app on their iPod Touch or iPhone?

       Just was wondering if anyone downloaded the Airport Utility app from the app store onto their iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone? You can see a picture of your Time Capsule's nework and a picture of your Time Capsule right on your iOS device (iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad) and it's quite nice that you can actually see a picture of your network. It shows current status and a diagram/picture of your network. You can also make changes to your network right from your iOS device. This is a nice feature to have on your portable device.
       I was just wondering how anyone else liked this feature?

    Here's what Apple recommends:

    Especially this part:
    Keep liquids away from the product.

  • CUP 5.3: Has anyone set-up user deletion process that works through CUA?

    Hello,
    I wonder if anyone has managed to set-up a user account deletion process that works through CUA?
    We can't get CUP to delete the system assignment in CUA before the back-end account is deleted.
    Any kind of advice or information regarding this problem would be appreciated.

    Jes,
    We have 2 approvers for each role. We defined in the Role Approver Stage that it be routed to the alternate approver should the main approver not respond in the next 3 days (via Forward to Alternate Approver). Bear in mind, once it is escalated to the alternate approver, the main approver will not be able to view/approve the request anymore. If the alternate approver does not approve/reject the request, the request will be left as is.
    In our case, we have used the functionality in CUP to pre-define the alternate approver rather than in your case, you would want to only escalate it as and when your Security Admin decides to. I believe if your Security Admin staff has admin rights in CUP, they are able to forward it to another approver via the Administrator tab. Else you can create a new stage to foward to your admin staff if it is not action upon.

  • Has anyone a jasper 6.8 example that works fine with JSC/JSF ???

    Has anyone just a jasper 6.8 example that works fine with JSC 2 / JSF ???
    Because I tried everything and it still doesn't want to do anything, and the code provided in this forum : http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=50166&tstart=0 doesn't work will other files or other than 6.1 Jasper version.
    thanks a lot
    Pierre

    Thank you for your answer, but this is exactly the thread I used and that I mentionned in my first message !!!
    this jasper example works fine with Creator only with the provided jasper file and the provided library. If I try to compile the jrxml provided, to change the library and so on, it doesn't work anymore, I don't know why.
    On this thread you can see more details :

  • Has anyone used Verizon Messages Desktop App

    I'm curious, is there anyone out there that has used the Verizon Messages Desktop App? Were you able to use it successfully? Can you still?
    You can download it here (The icon that says "Download Desktop App")

    I opened this thread which I'm pretty sure has just joined all of the other forgotten threads that never get answers.
    VERIZON MESSAGES PC App

    I have downloaded the Message+ application for 64 Bit Windows 7.  It's a wonderful idea and I think it's just great.  Unfortunately, its performance is inconsistent, the interface is not intuitive, certain features are difficult to use,  certain obvious features are missing and there is no integrated help facility.  I have elaborated on some of them, below.  Be aware that I have not had this program for very long, so there may be answers and explanations that I am not aware of.  And I might simply be wrong.
    Performance is inconsistent:
    Messages which appear on your phone will either immediately appear on your Message+ window (which is wonderful) or they will never appear, ever.  Even waiting for hours doesn't get them.  Exiting and running the application won't get them--they simply don't show up.
    The program sometimes hangs for no readily apparent reason, thus hanging every single window associated with it.  Once this happens, this is a solid hang.  The program will simply not process any more windows messages at all.  Since it will not handle a WM_CLOSE, you can not kill it from the task bar, you'll just get a beep.  You must use the Windows Task Manager to do it.  Once you have killed it, it will steadily hang more frequently.
    Message+ can get into such a state that it will no longer start, no matter what you do.  You can look at your processes, see that it is not there, but trying to run it give you a brief blink and nothing happens.  A full reboot may fix this, but I do not know because I have not performed one.  I think that is just too drastic and I simply have too much other stuff going on.
    Once performance starts to degrade, it does so rapidly.  Message+ will simply stop receiving ALL SMS messages with no indication why.  There is no obvious way to reset this.
    Attempting to fix the application by choosing Repair from the installation program (which is not documented anywhere) produces mixed results.  The repair process takes an extremely long time and the progress bar barely moves making one think that the repair has hung.  It is an exercise for the truly patient (or desperate).  This will fix the program enough so that it will start again, but performance will be poor and hangs will become more frequent.
    A repair inconsistently leaves messages around.  One contact may still have messages while another has them all deleted.  There is no readily apparent reason for this behavior.
    Once you stop receiving messages, you do so forever.  Even a repair doesn't fix the problem.
    Close buttons [X] do not consistently work.  Sometimes you got to click them a few times.
    The interface is not intuitive:
    On just about any GUI that you've ever heard of, available buttons or hot spots are highlighted in some way.  The Message+ application does not follow this paradigm; the entire interface is flat and there is no indication of what you can click on unless you directly click on it.
    It is not clear what a button does until you click on it.  Some of the symbols are not obvious nor are they documented in any readily access place.
    Icons can bring up windows which are either docked to the main window or separate with no readily apparent design.
    Windows are launched with either a double or single click, which is startling and inconsistent.  There is no readily apparent reason for this behavior.
    You can do different things based on whether you are in edit mode or not, but it is not described anywhere how to do this and it is not obvious how to get out of it while you are in it.  You've got to hunt around and experiment.
    It is confusing to figure out what phone number to synchronize with.  I installed the program only three days ago and now I have completely forgotten how to do this.
    Certain features are difficult to use:
    Trying to get at the text of a message is tortuous.  You've got find very tiny dim icons which may or may not be there.  Sometimes you'll manage to get a pop up with a right click, but all the options will be greyed out.  There is no way to figure this out except by (laboriously) clicking on every part of every window at each stop to see what you can do.
    You can only select a single message text at a time for certain things.  If you want to get an entire thread, there is no way to do this.  You can select multiple messages in edit mode, but the only available action is to delete all of them.
    You can get per message info, which is great, but you have to do it on ever single message.
    The scroll bar performance is poor.  It is very difficult to determine where you are in a window, scrolling control is jerky, trying to move up a little bit at a time does not work.
    Trying to find the program on the Verizon website to download it is not directly obvious.  You can Google the web for messages, some of which have hard URL's that you can click on to get to the right place.
    Certain obvious features are missing:
    SMS messages contain valuable information and there is no way to save a message stream to file.  This is lack of functionality is positively astounding.  You've got to scroll through the message and take screen shots.
    The arrow buttons do not consistently scroll window contents.  They typically work, however.
    Messages which are sent to a Jetpack (they have phone numbers) are not caught, which is puzzling.
    You can not display message contents and information at the same time.  This makes it doubly tedious to record information.
    There is no undelete, roll back, restore or recover feature.  Once you delete a message it's gone.  Forever. Even undelete programs do not work because the delete is not apparently file based.  You can hunt through the block list, but this can get tedious.
    There is no way to back up or restore the entire database.  Some of this material is critical.
    There is no export function.  You can not export to a .PDF to e-mail to somebody.  You can not export to a .CSV for offline analysis.
    Help:
    There is no integrated help facility..  You can not pull up a window of descriptions of basic tasks.
    There does not appear to be an online FAQ located in any obvious place.
    It is difficult to Google for help online, you must always put Message+ in double quotes, "Message+" or you will get unexpected results.
    There does not appear to be any large experienced user community on the Web yet.  This support site is probably your only realistic chance of getting some useful information.  Otherwise, there are many, many questions out there.
    The Send Feedback Function does not work if you do not have an installed mail client on your desktop. If you are using a web based one, gmail for example, a browser window will start with the entire message stuffed into the URL bar.  You've got to cut the text out of the URL and paste it into separate fields in your message.  You've better off just simply sending an e-mail to [email protected].  Thus far, however, I have yet to receive a single response.  Sometimes hitting the Submit button performs no function at all.  The window simply stays up and nothing happens.
    In summary, I think it's a great idea, but I simply don't think the User Interface engineering is all that thought out.  The look and feel of an application of an application are absolutely critical to successfully exploiting the functionality.   You should only deviate from (decades old) graphical  interface paradigms when you really have something different to do.  Message+ is performing basic functions, it doesn't need window glitz.  Glitz for glitz's sake is just plain annoying and causes a needless learning curve.  Further, Message+'s glitz is uninspiring and in some cases, downright confusing.
    The flawed functionality, the stability, the data lose, the lack of obvious features and the near complete lack of documentation make me think that this is essentially an unfinished or alpha stage product and one would hope for improvements as new version roll out (if they ever do).
    If anyone knows of any alternatives to Message+ that do what it does, I'd love to hear about it.  However, I am only interested in capturing SMS messages, not sending any sort of e-mail or data.

  • Has anyone got a good program / app that will backup my USB memory stick to my Mac?

    As above , would appreciate any suggestions, as currently have a lot of work on my memory stick which is so important and thought I had lost it today!! If every time I plug my flash drive in, it would back up onto my Mac that would be great
    Thanks

    Try Copy From the stick and Paste To the Mac hard drive.
    Or use Disk Utility to create a image of the info on that stick saving it to the internal hard drive of the Mac.

  • Does anyone recommend a flat screen monitor that works well with a MacBook?

    I bought my 13" MacBook about 3 years ago and often find that I need a bigger screen for working on some projects but like the smaller portable size of my laptop. I'm thinking a good sized flat screen monitor would work for me, but don't want to drop a grand on an Apple monitor. Any one have luck with other brands?
    I'm thinking 20 - 22". I mostly do my own marketing graphics and photography for my business and need to be able to work in Illustrator on a screen I can actually see things on. LOL!
    Thanks for any suggestions or reviews.

  • Has anyone used an app with the Maverick software to burn iPhoto slideshows to DVD disks that will play on any DVD player?

    Has anyone used an app with the new Maverick software to burn iphoto slide shows to DVDs that will play on a standard DVD player?  This probably cannot be a demo app in that the amout of photos on the slideshows is large.  
    Thank you,
    Jim

    Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
    Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.

  • During a routine verify permissions using my disc utility, I'm getting a WARNING: SUID file "Systems/Library/CoreService-.ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    During a routine verify permissions using my disc utility, I'm getting a WARNING: SUID file "Systems/Library/CoreService….ent" has been modified and will not be repaired. What does this mean?? I'm not awawre that I did anything to cause this and is it somethingI should try to fix?

    1. It means that the current software is installed.
    2. It's not something you should try to fix.
    3. Verifying and repairing permissions shouldn't be done as routine tasks.

  • I just saw a message that iWeb has been discontinued by Apple.  It suggested EverWeb.  Has anyone used this or do you have aother recommendation?

    I just saw a message that iWeb has been discontinued by Apple.  It suggested changing to EverWeb.  Has anyone used this or do you have another recommendation?

    Hi
    I have now used Everweb to transfer a website from iWeb & am now working on transferring a second website.
    I cannot recommend Everweb highly enough. I am an amateur, so iWeb was the easy option for me. Everweb is just as easy to use and very similar to iWeb. New features are being added every few days.
    I am extremely impressed by the excellent and prompt service from both the forum and support. All my questions have been answered (& there have been many of them!)
    Everweb is complimented by an excellent site Everweb codebox which has developed more widgets and codes to add to Everweb. Roddy from Everweb codebox has been invaluable by answering questions on the forum & generally complimenting the Everweb team.
    I have purchased the Everweb program & Hosting. This gives my 1 click updating and works seamlessly. The price is competitive and the support exemplary.
    All in all, I am delighted with Everweb, excellent program & excellent support!! I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone.
    In answer to your question...buy it!!!!
