Headless Lion - Disable All Error Popup's

Searched high and low to resolve this requirement but have so far failed so hoping for some input here from the community.
Requirement:
In short I need to appease the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). I have a Mac Mini running Lion in my living room running XBMC plus some other software which is a headless setup, this is accessed from the remote control and my wife needs to be able to simply pick this up and use it just like a standard piece of AV equipment.
Issue:
When there is an issue with the computer is generally popup's an error message, in particular when I have Time Machine issues with the disk becoming read only for some reason or it disconnecting without ejecting properly. The issue isn't necessarily with Time Machine but with ANY error message that pop's up and stops the media centre experience.
Resolution:
Is there anyway to stop any error message from popping up, some sort of kiosk mode. Would be handy if the error messages could be emailed out instead if that isn't asking too much. Looking to automate my environment as much as possible with little user intervention and reduce a currently frustrated wife.
Thanks in advance.

Disable BAPI Error Popup Message

Does anyone know how to disable to the popup message that occurs in VC when a BAPI return an error message (message of type E)? We want to display a default error message to our users, instead of the cryptic ABAP error messages.
Maximum point awarded to the first correct answer.

Method 1:
1. Drag datastore to your storyboard
2. Right Click datastore and select Configure Element
3. Click + button to Add new field
4. Enter Fieldname=SHOWPOPUP, Type=Boolean, Default=false
5. Click on dataservice that is feeding your message input and drag into the datastore
6. Right Click on this new data mapping line and select Confgure Element
7. Click on fx for the SHOWPOPUP field and set the value to TRUE.
8. Right Click your popup Form and select Configure Element
9. Click + button to Add new field
10. Select PUSHBUTTON control and enter field name OK
11. Double Click the OK fiend to open configuration popup
12. Select ACTION tab and change radio button to CUSTOM ACTION and enter name HIDEPOPUP
13. Click on fx on the VISIBILITY CONDITION of the form and select enter formula
14. enter STORE@SHOWPOPUP as the formula
15. Click on the OUT port of the popup form and drag line into the datastore
16. Right Click on this new data mapping line and select Configure Element
17. Click on fx for the SHOWPOPUP field and set the value to FALSE
18. Select the dropdown list for the EVENT NAME at the top of the Data Mapping and select HIDEPOPUP as the event.
19. Select LAYOUT tab and readjust the position of the form over the top of your output table.
NOTE: you may need to click the BRING TO FRONT icon in lower left with your popup form selected to insure that it is not hidden behind other objects.
Method 2 :
There is another option in System action (PROMPT) where u can pass the message that will prompt sucesss or failure message but you have to trigger it by using pushbutton.
Both the method worked for me sure it will work for u also .

Disable all informations (popups, alerts etc.) during batch process

Hey! I'm using Acrobat 6.0 and the open all batch process to convert various office documents. For each document I have to agree to some alerts like "The document was changed. Do you want to save it" or "Acrobat can't save bookmarks beacause..." - or something like that... I think everybody can imagine what I mean and it doesn't matter what exactly is the content of these popups...
My question: Is there a posibility to turn off all these messages? Maybe with some lines of JavaScript Code? Or pipe these messages to a text file instead of showing it on the screen?

Thanks for your answer. I mean both things, although I haven't yet a JS function so I prefer the feature Batch Processing which is part of Acrobat 6.0
Unfortunately the "Save warnings and errors in log file" preference doesn't work. I think the problem is, that these errors are special Batch Error. But this isn't what I mean...
I will now describe exactly my problem. I'm using Acrobat 6.0 and MS Excel 2003. With several Makros I created special Excel files. With some (not all) tables in the Excel file I made a group (because I want to convert only these tables...)
When I start the batch processing, the following messages appears (which I have to accept or deny... this is exactly what I want to disappear because with these messages I haven't any automatism or real "batch processing"....)
1. After starting the batch process, first message...
::Acrobat PDFMaker::
Acrobat PDFMaker have to save the document before continue. Should PDFMaker save this document and continue?
2. ...and then after some seconds...
::Acrobat PDFMaker::
'Name of my table' - Acrobat PDFMaker can make Tags, Bookmarks and Links only for tables with the printable area "Whole Table". Delete in the section "Page settings" the field "printable are" to avoid this problem.
Would you like to continue and create a PDF File without Tags?
3. .. and finally Excel also have a message for me:
::Microsoft Excel::
Save all changes in 'Name of my Excel file'?
After that the first PDF is successfully created. Then it happens something really strange. I can see in my Acrobat the little window with:
'Name of my Excel File', 2 from 2
(-a progress bar is shown with 50%-)
Please wait. Adobe PDF is making.: 100%
and then i can wait and wait and wait... But nothing more wil happens! :(
Any idea to solve these problems?
To implement the batch processing feature in an own JS function... How difficult is it? Are there any examples/experiences? And the most important thing: can i really disappear the popup messages?
Thanks and sorry for my english... ;)

When I plug in an USB stick, my MacBook Air disables all USB devices

When I plug in an USB device, my MacBook Air disables all USB devices and the keyboard. It looks like it would freeze, but all applications still work. It just does not respond to neither keyboard nor mouse. The only solution is to force-restart it. What can I do? I am using Lion and have updated it. The same error occured with Snow Leopard as well. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens and sometimes not. I have a suspicion it is related to the devices power consumption in corelation with the battery charging status.
I am using a MacBook Air 13", late 2010 version.

Have you tried plugging the flash drive into a different Mac to see if it works? The Air shouldn't have any problem with it, I use a couple of flash drives in mine, although I don't have a pq1. Did you try both USB ports on the Air? Do you have another flash drive you can test in the Air, or a different USB device, like a hard drive or printer?
The only thing I can think of is either a bad flash drive, or a bad USB port on the Air. Sorry, can't be more help than that.

1. Update iTunes - latest version is 10.4.1.
2. Disable ALL security apps (firewall, antivirus/spyware) running on your computer.
3. Don't try to downgrade the iOS version. This isn't supported
4. If you EVER tried to hack thie phone or use apps like tinyumbrella, you may have to edit the hosts file on your computer to remove references to gs.apple.com
5. If your phone has been hacked (jailbroken, iOS downgrade, or unauthorized unlocking), you may not be able to restore the phone to Apple specs again.
"This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an error 3194. If you receive this error, update to the latest version of iTunes. 3rd party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue, to resolve please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file.

Is there any way to disable Mail error messages?

In creating a Service in Automator which outputs to Mail, I am recieving silly error messages such as
“” does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.
When this occurs, the Service is stopped until I hit «Send Anyway». This defeats the purpose of my automated Service. Is there anyway to bypass or disable these error messages?

I'm getting this same error on an Automator workflow that worked fine under Snow Leopard. It just started when I upgraded to Lion. When I first ran my workflow under Lion, I got the attached warning. All looks okay until it gets to the sending of the email.
I even deleted the old "New Mail Message" from the workflow and replaced it with another "New Mail Message." No change. It still generated the error when trying to send the new mail message.

How do I disable all non-essential components in the CS6 installer

A new question in the spirit of http://forums.adobe.com/thread/548877 and http://forums.adobe.com/message/2778575, where I asked this question for CS4 and CS5 and eventually discovered how to do this (at least for CS4; CS5 was a mess...): How do I disable all the non-essential components in the Photoshop CS6 installer?
I already found the payloads/Media_db.db sqlite 3 database and wiped the DependencyData table. This goes a long way - unlike CS5, which was a maze of hidden xml configs and sqlite databases, for CS6 just wiping this single table will give the user full control over what the installer will put in the computer. With the dependencies wiped, we can now see all the stuff it's actually going to install:
Bridge (normal and x64) - 187 and 262 MB
CMaps (normal and x64) - 7.2 and 7.2 MB
CSXS Extensions - 1.3MB
CSXS Infrastructure - 6.8MB
Color - photoshop, EU, JA, NA - 1.5, 2.1, 3.0, 2.5MB
Video profiles - 4.7KB
Dynamic Link Media Server - 96MB
DynamicLink Support - 6.1MB
ExtendScript Toolkit - 19MB
Extension Manageer - 16MB
Fonts recommended (normal and x64) - 110 and 110MB (why are there x86 and x64 versions? more of an open question than one that really needs an answer, but this is not how fonts work. There are no separate x86 and x64 flavoured OpenType fonts)
Fonts required (normal and x64) - 123 and 123MB
Hunspell Linguistics Plugin (normal and x64) - 181 and 181MB
Linguistics (normal and x64) - 46 and 46MB
Mini Bridge (normal and x64) - 4.0MB
PDF Library Files (normal and x64) - 75 and 75MB
Photoshop (normal and x64) - 486 and 563MB
Photoshop Support - 9.4MB
Player for Embedding 3.3 (normal and x64) - 21 and 26MB
Switchboard 2.0 - 1.1MB
Type Support (normal and x64) - 6 and 6MB
Winsoft Linguistics Plugin (normal and x64) - 8.2 and 8.5MB
XMP Panels - 4.9MB
ColorCommonSetCMYK - 13MB
ColorCommonSetRGB - 8.6KB
Camera Profiles Installer - 285MB
MSVC++2005 redist. (normal and x64) - 11 and 11MB
MSVC++2008 redist. (normal and x64) - 11 and 11MB
MSVC++2010 redist. (normal and x64) - 11 and 11MB
MSVC80_CRT (normal and x64) - 0.0 and 0.0KB
PDF Settings - 2.4MB
Camera Raw 7 (normal and x64) - 22 and 24MB
Suite Shared Configuration - 3.2MB
Some of these things we really want installed (Photoshop, CMaps, XMP panels, Type Support and required fonts and color profiles are pretty much the minimal set required for a functional Photoshop installation), but some of these things really have no right to be silentedly installed. There's a good gigabyte of nonsense that someone who just wants Photoshop has no need for. Denying them the option to unselect these things during installation is a bit evil (whatever happened to the 'advanced' or 'custom' installation option? That was a good option).
That said, there's still something funky going on - unselecting all components indicates that the installation will required 0.0KB on disk. However, selecting Photoshop CS6 x64, which indicates its size is 563MB, results in an installation that requires 677MB on disk. Similar things happen for other components; CMaps is 7.2MB, but when you select it, it suddenly requires 121MB on disk.
Much last last time, I fully appreciate the install team's choices in making sure the installer will always work as long as people don't tamper with it, but I'm not one of those people - I do tamper with it, because I want to control exactly what lands on my disk. So: how do I find out what these secret things are that are not listed after wiping the dependency data so that I can explicitly pick individual components? Which additional steps are required to reveal the hidden dependencies that will apparently still be installed, or aren't factored into the size indication for the various components? And finally, how do I make the installer NOT determine that "this is not a genuine installer, you may have a counterfeit product" =)
I know it's been altered; I modified it, because I think your install process is trying to force stuff onto my computer that I never asked for, nor will ever use (I know they're quality products, they just have no right to exist on my computers. If I had the choice to say no, I'd acknowledge them as quality products instead).

NB: if Eric Wilde ends up replying to this post: I still remember your willingness to help figure this out for CS5, two years ago. Thank you again for that.

I can see why you wouldn't want to release information that lets people set up arbitrary installers, but that's why I mostly wanted those two specific hashes. The installer team can just generate them without ever saying how, and we will only be able to use them to validate the installer for the modification that lets you pick components. This should in no way interfere with the desire to prevent dangerous installers making it into the wild; in fact, it kind of guarantees that's impossible.
I know you can't guarantee it'll work or test it, and that's fine. Past experience has shown that CS3, CS4 and CS5 work fine with updates (and most updates don't apply to Photoshop, they apply to the additional components that I traditionally don't install), so I'm pretty sure it'll work fine with CS6 too, although of course it could go wrong in which case I can always fall back to a normal install.
Would you be willing to ask the install team whether they could generate just these two numbers, based on the single SQL command run on Media_db.db from the main payload directory? I can fully understand not wanting to give the "here is how you generate the hashes" information, but generating two specific numbers that don't work for anything but this specific query should be just as safe as the various hashes we can already see for the other Media_db.db files in the various payload directories (so they wouldn't reveal anything not already known about how to reverse engineer the hashing algorithm). It'd help tech-savvy customers quite a bit without playing into the hands of criminally minded jerks (I actually had the pleasure of running into a duped CS3 Extended disc several years ago! I had ordered CS3 for personal use, and mysteriously received a CS3 extended version with a volume licensing key in what looked like an official normal CS3 box. Needless to say, authorities and Adobe were notified).
<<I think the right answer to this issue is to simply remove from the products those items that are not required to execute the product. That's actually something we're aggressively pursuing this summer so that the product size reduces in future releases, particularly for PS.>>
It's not possible to take components out of the payloads directory without the installer complaining that errors have occurred. It really wants all those files there when it starts =(
<<Have you investigated using AAMEE? I don't think that will get rid of all the "extraneous" pieces; but, it does provide some flexibility in creating an install package that can then be pushed out through normal deployment tools (e.g. SCCM).>>
I did, but unfortunately AAMEE requires the use of a volume license key, which I don't have. We only have individual products keys for the machines that will get Photoshop CS6.

I have disabled all Kaspersky security, windows firewall and windows defender and Itunes still will not update my Ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 5, Helppppp!

I can't get the IOS 5 to work for windows Vista. I'm running kaspersky pure 2.0, windows firewall and windows defender. I have turned them all off, I then attach my Ipod 4th gen and I get the "cannot connect to itunes update server". I ran diagnostics in itunes and it tells me I dont have a internet connection. I'm on the internet right now, and I DO have a internet connection, but it tells me Itunes says otherwise. I'm able to send this message on the same pc with internet connection but keep running into this error. I have now read discussiong boards through apple and disabled all my firewalls, still no luck. I was able to update the lates version of itunes, and just waiting to get my ipod updated now, please help me.

On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

Unresponsive Script errors popups in Firefox 14.01

Since upgrading from Firefox 13.01 to 14.01, Firefox is taking a long time to launch and I am receiving multiple unresonsive script error popups when it tries to launch. I have the same extensions installed that I had in 13.01 and all are compatible with 14.01. Again this issue ONLY started when upgrading to 14.01. I have tried to determine what extension is the problem and turn it off, however when I launch Firefox again, another unresonsive script error popup occurs with a different extension. I'll remove that one and it popups again about a another different one. This is crazy! I have even tried a complete clean install, with no luck. What is the problem?

I use Roboform and the first unresponsive script error popup is about Roboform. Their tech support just emailed me about an hour ago and ask if I had Trusteer Rapport installed on my system (https://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport) and I said yes. They instructed me to Stop Rapport, which is a setting Rapport has, and relaunch Firefox 14.01 and see if the unresponsive script error popup returns and it did not! They then told me to do a complete uninstall (all user settings) and re-download Trusteer Rapport from their website and install again and see if the unresponsive script error popup returns. They said it should not. However after doing a clean reinstall of Trusteer Rapport, however the popups came back :(
I emailed Trusteer about this issue and I am waiting for a response. Roboform tech support responded after I told them it did not work by saying only that they are aware of the issue with Trusteer Rapport with nothing more said in their email.
I only know that Trusteer Rapport is a MUST HAVE security software and I have had it for years and it has never caused problems and that the version of Roboform I have is current and was the SAME version that was installed when using Firefox 13.01 and Roboform did not cause these popups in 13.01
So, this evening, I did another clean uninstall of Trusteer Rapport AND a clean uninstall of Roboform and relaunched Firefox 14.01 and the only unresponsive script error popups where from another add-on extension called WorldIP. No other popups occurred.
With that being said, I can say that Firefox 14.01 is causing issues and this needs to be fixed asap.
Thoughts?

DSCC showing DS as 636 disabled, unexpected error,err=1 and 80

Dear All,
Am adding new DS on an existing DSEE 6.3 environment. Up to now, created a new DS instance remotely from the DSCC server, copied configuration settings from an existing DS server. After that stage, dscc was showing remote DS server as 636 (disabled} and unexpected error. This was expected due to SSL certs are not added in the DS. Today we have added the SSL cert and Root CA. And restarted the DS, and unregistered and registered back the DS on DSCC. But still the DS status on DSCC showing as 636 disabled, unexpected error
On more investigation, able to see like ldapsearch on secure port on local DS giving result, but when doing remotely from the DSCC server to DS server, result as below
bash-3.00$ sudo ./ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -w xxx -h remote-host -p 636 -Z -P /opt/SUNWdsee/AAAinst/alias/slapd-cert8.db -b "" -s base objectclass=

Dear All,
We were able to find the root cause for the above issue, the DSEE still using the default certificate instead of new SSL host certificate.
ssl-enabled : on
ssl-rsa-cert-name : defaultCert
Could you guide me the commands for changing this to new SSL certificate, through DSCC due to environmental problem we are not able to achieve this.

When upgrading to os x lion, will all my files stay in place or what?

when upgrading to os x lion, will all my files stay in place or what?

Yes of course, Apple knows a users files are valuable and won't just go deleting them .
However, OS X upgrades can go bad due to unforeseen circumstances or special modifications people have done to their operating systems or even root level anti-virus installs like Norton.
If the upgrade goes bad, your operating system can become "bricked", requiring a lot more effort to recover your files.
Also third party programs like from Microsoft, Adobe and others may not be ready for OS X Lion, if you have any "mission critical" needs for the computer, it's best to wait several months, yes SEVERAL MONTHS, to make absolutely sure all the bugs are worked out of third party drivers, software, printers, scanners etc., and even OS X Lion itself.
Always backup your valuable data, to write protected cd/dvd's if all possible for the reason that humans, even myself I just recently learned, can very very easily erase data on re-writable media like hard drives due to human error.
TimeMachine is a somewhat ok image backup system, Carbon Copy Cloning of one's boot drive onto a external drive which is hold option bootable is great in case your hard drive dies, but for your most precious data, you really should be burning, labeling, dating and storing multiple cd/dvd's.

Alert like behaviour (disabling all other elements) for custom components

Hey guys,
I'm trying to get a CustomComponent to work like an Alert box. I want to lock all items on stage but the component.
Is there a way to achieve this? Or would it be better to style an Alert to look like my CustomComponent?
Thanks for reading

Hi,
you can Popup any component you want. To disable all other items set it modal.
PopUpManager.createPopUp(parent, className, true)
Hope this helpful.

I can't download files or videos, I get the response "The object is blocked" As far as I know I have removed or disabled all security programs

I am unable to play streaming video, and can't download anything. I have removed or disabled all of my security programs.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2 weeks ago, downloaded most recent Windows service pack

HI Phillip,
On the other I am wholly unable to download the file from either Safari or Firefox
Let's try one browser at a time. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder then the Safari folder. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Now launch Firefox. From the Firefox menu bar click Firefox / Preferences then select the
Advanced tab then the Network tab. Click: Clear Now.
Relaunch Firefox.
If nothing above has helped either browser, login to your Mac to another user account. Try Safari there. If you can't download files from Safari there, then it's a system wide problem. Boot from your install disc. Run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair any errors on the startup disk.
