Help with Two Document folders w/ same contents

Could use some help.......
I migrated from an older Mac to a new Mac about a month ago. At the same time I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I used the Migration Assistant except for applications which I reinstalled from scratch (except preferences, etc. which were migrated).
In doing so I ended up, unbeknownst to me, with my documents both in the root level Documents folder ( /Documents) and in "my" user Documents folder (/Users/my/Documents). At least I assume that this happened during migration.
Today I found this out and, very unfortunately for me, that some of my Spotlight launches and subsequent file edits have not been to my Document files but to the duplicate ones at the root level.
I need to correct this, then delete those unwanted/unneeded duplicates and then block Spotlight from accessing that folder just in case something gets put there in the future.
With that as background my questions:
1. What are default post-install root (computer HD) level folders? Want to make sure no other errors. The folders I have are:
Applications
Desktop Folder
dev-1 (note: locked)
Documents
Library
System
User Guides and Information (note: alias)
Users
2. Is there an Apple utility or other way to compare this root level Documents folder with the users/my/Documents folder to determine what might have changed in the former when it should have been a change to the later?
3. Do those who use Spotlight frequently recommend privacy setting blocks beyond external drives? That has been my setting but now I feel I need to increase the privacy blocks.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

A Documents folder at the root may come from an old OS 9 system which did have a Documents folder at the root. In OS X your Documents folder is in the Home folder (Users/urshortname/Documents/.)
OS X has only the following root folders visible:
Applications
Library
System
Users
If you want to view the contents of the root level Documents folder just double-click on it to open a Finder window on the contents. There is no built-in folder comparison utility but there are third-party utilities you can find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Or just open a second window on the /Home/Documents/ folder and put them side by side.
I'm not sure I understand what you men by privacy blocks that you would need to create. Maybe you could clarify.

[CS3 JS] Working with two documents of the same name

I work with sets of documents that use standardized names. I'm trying to write a script that compares two documents from different sets. Because the source and the target documents both have the same name, I've encountered some disturbing behavior that reminds me of the app.activeWindow bug that Dave has written about. (
Dave Saunders, "Scripting FAQ as Wiki" #14, 15 Oct 2007 12:19 pm)
To perform the comparison, I have to grab a reference to the same region of text in both documents, as offset from regular landmarks. I was just patting myself on the back for figuring out the "story.characters.itemByRange(begin, end).texts[0]" acrobatics required, when I discovered that my text objects were magically "dissolving" into invalid objects.
After a lot of debugging and attempts to hack around the problem (i.e. storing the text begin/end indices and not grabbing the text object until the last possible moment), I've narrowed it down to the references to the source and target documents. I've watched the reference variable to the source document *change* to instead reference the target document when I start accessing the target document object. Once this happens, any text objects belonging to the source document become invalid, as if the source document had been closed.
Is there any way around this? I've thought about temporarily saving the files to different names, but I haven't tried it yet.
Here's a script that demonstrates the problem (you'll have to find your own same-named documents if you want to run it):
var source = "/Users/deyk/Desktop/test/source";
var target = "/Users/deyk/Desktop/test/target";
function findChapters(in_doc) {
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "chapter-num";
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+";
return in_doc.findGrep();
var sdoc = app.open(File(source+"/01.Genesis.indd"));
var s_file_start = sdoc.fullName;
var s_chs = findChapters(sdoc);
var s_story = s_chs[0].parentStory;
var s_txt = s_story.characters.itemByRange(s_chs[0].index,
s_chs[1].index-1).texts[0];
var tdoc = app.open(File(target+"/01.Genesis.indd"));
// At this point, sdoc now references tdoc instead.
// s_txt, s_story, and s_chs become invalid objects.
var t_file_start = tdoc.fullName;
var t_chs = findChapters(tdoc);
var t_story = t_chs[0].parentStory;
var t_txt = t_story.characters.itemByRange(t_chs[0].index,
t_chs[1].index-1).texts[0];
var s_file_end = sdoc.fullName;
if (s_file_end.name != s_file_start.name) {
var result = "What a nasty bug!";
"Finished";

I've tried saving the document to a temporary name, and it works satisfactorily:
function openFileAsTemp(a_file) {
var tmp_folder = Folder.temp.fullName;
var date = new Date();
var temp_file = File(tmp_folder+'/'+date.valueOf()+'_'+a_file.name);
var doc = app.open(a_file);
doc = doc.save(temp_file);
return doc;

I have a fairly elderly I Mac 7.1 (2.47 Ghz Intel Core Duo) operating OSX v 10.9.5. At the core level I find two Library folders, one within the System Folder and one by itself with the other core level folders - mostly same content. Is this right?

The system is slow.

How to access a shared disk with two users account on same Mac

I am seeking how to share / access at same time with two accounts on a same Mac a disk that is shared with a TC or an AEBS. When a user account is connected to the shared drive and when I switch to the 2nd user this 2nd user cannot access / see the content of the shared drive and it receives an error message. I want to use this shared drive to store some GB of movies I do not want to have on my MacBook Pro SSD but still bring able to access them from the two accounts that are set on my Mac. Just like for an internal drive. I have tried all I could but it does not want to work. How do I do that ? Thanks.

If you were running this software, the Mac's Bonjour would automatically "discover" The Linux machine.

How to share iphoto with two users in the same imac maverick

I can´t find the way to share iphoto/itunes with two users in the same imac with maverick software

In conclusion, the new software is worse than the old one, really? Because in my old mac I could share easily without copy with an external USB
It's not iPhoto that dropped the ball but the system. I believe it was Mavericks that broke the Shared folder compatibility for iPhoto, not iPhoto itself.
Also having the library on an external HD is a good way of freeing up space on the boot drive to assure optional system and application performance.

HT3819 Can you home share with two libraries on the same computer?

Can home share be used with two libraries on the same computer?

iTunes must be running for home sharing to work. There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

Help with two scripts - Mounting remote DMG and Checking which network I'm connected to

Hey guys, I need some help with two separate scripts:
1. The first script I'm trying to create to mount a DMG stored remotely on another Mac using an AppleScript or shell script. Using the following:
set cmd to "hdiutil mount 'afp://username:[email protected]/Lion/Users/username/Desktop/Test.sparseim age'"
do shell script cmd
results in the following error:
error "hdiutil: mount failed - not recognized" number 1
I'm not very experienced regarding AppleScript or using hdiutil, could somebody point out what's wrong with my script?
2. The second script I'm working on to try and essentially prevent the 'Could Not Find Server' Finder dialog when a network mount is unavailable. I guess what I'd like it to do is detect which network I'm connected to, and if I'm connected to the correct network, then mount the shares, otherwise just fail silently without any errors. From the searching I've done, using try statements should do this, but they do not, and I'm still presented with an error dialog after the server cannot be found.
Does anybody have any suggestions on this script? Also, I've seen some tips regarding detecting which wireless network the Mac is connected to, which could work, but what about when connected via Ethernet?
Thanks!

Edit: I need to clarify on my first script request:
I need to mount the DMG on the remote Mac, not on the Mac I'm running the script from.

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.
Here is the link:

Good Luck.

Help please, I have created two document folders???

I have somehow created 2 Document folders, now when I save a document I have to check both folders to find it. How do I fix this please? I have a Mac OS X V 10.6.8

Put all the files into one folder and delete the other. The default folder is the one you should keep. This will be the one in your /Home/ folder.

Help with two DIVs as columns at 100% page height

I've got two DIVs side by side on my page and I want both columns to fill the page from top to bottom.
The left DIV stops about half way down the page.
There are DIVs inside of each column.
My test link is: http://faceworks.webtestingsite.net/pages/facials.html
Here's the CSS I used for the columns,
#leftSideBkgd {
          position:absolute;
          min-height:100%;
          background-color: #f0f0f0;

          line-height: 1.75em;
          font-weight: normal;
          color: #000;
Thanks for your help with this

You cannot safely force the height on those divs, without also getting ugly vertical scrollbars.
Your choices are three -
1. Use Faux columns (Google it) to make it *look* like the divs are the same height.
2. Use javascript to actually dynamically determine what height to use for the columns.
3. Use CSS3 to make the adjacent columns behave as if they were two adjacent cells in a table, resulting in them being the same height.
My preference is #1 - it's easy and VERY effective. I don't like #2 as a solution, and #3 works beautifully if you are not worried about supporting IE6 or 7.

Help with ME21N Document Overview Layout

There are two sets of people who use ME21N to create Purchase Orders. I've created 2 layouts for them to be used with the document overview on. I know I can set one layout as a system default. Is there anyway I can have the layout assigned or defaulted per User?
Thanks.

Try using the transaction code OMET.
Create new Function auth (say PO) there in which select FieldSel. in General Parameters tab. As mentioned that you had created two layouts, select this layout from dropdown using F4 on field FieldSel. then save the transaction.
Now assign this newly created Function auth (PO) to the specific users using SU01/SU3 in parameter tab in parameter as EFB with value as PO (as defined).
Hope this will help you.
Enjoy,

Help with Find / Replace button title tag contents (text)

Hi there,
I designed my site with Sitegrinder (Medialab) –
Currently all the title tags generated for buttons are the same as
the actual html page name.
The problem with this is that the tooltip which appears in
browsers when you hover over the button with the mouse gives you
the page name. Instead I want to use these tooltips to give the
user an indication of what the function of the button is.
An example: A zoom button above an image: Currenty the
tootlip says “zoom imagename pagename” – Instead
it should say “click here to zoom”.
I need help to get the Dreamweaver Find and Replace tool to
batch replace these tags for me for about a 100 pages.
Here is an example of the code:
<body>
<div id="id1zoomimpastooilweddingbutton"><a
href="zoomimpastooilwedding.html"
title="zoomimpastooilwedding"></a></div>
I only want to replace the text in the title tag - Since the
text “zoom” appears several times in the body, I
can’t get the Find tool to pick up and Replace the occurrence
of “zoom” in the title only…….
Options I’ve tried:
Search Current document: Search for: “specific
tag”: “title”, “containing”:
“text” = zoom (I’ve tried this with
“zoomimpastooilwedding” and zoom[^”]* with no
results
I’ve also tried: Search for: “specific
tag”: “body”, “containing”:
“specific tag” “title”
“containing”: “text” = zoom
etc……………..
I need help with what parameters to enter in order to find
and replace all the text within the title tag with my own text
Thanks very much!
Anton

You have ~ 100 pages, each of which has images with title
attributes (not
tags), all of which BEGIN with the letters "zoom"?
What do you want to replace that text with? Wouldn't it be
different for
each button? Or do you mean that you would do multiple
sitewide searches,
one for each button? This illustrates how wrong it is to not
use DW
Templates or server-side includes to simplify the management
of your
navigation elements....
Did you ask Medialabs if it would be possible to specify this
before
generating the HTML?
How did you like working with SiteGrinder? It looks like a
nice product to
me, although I'm not fond of the final results code-wise....

Apex mixes applications working with two windows at the same time

Hi all, while developing in Apex I have found the following problem:
Working with two different applications at the same time, the browser goes from one to another indistinctly.
To reproduce the problem:
1. Open the same application builder in two different Firefox windows
2. Open a different application in each window (In my case: application 103 in window1 and application 105 in window2)
3. Go to shared components in both windows (window1 first)
- window1 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application 103 > Shared Components
- window2 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application 105 > Shared Components
4. Click in any shared component in window1 (Templates, Authentication Schemes...)
- window1 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application *105* > Shared Components > Templates (Application 105 instead of 103)
Is it a bug? I have read the known issues [[Here]|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/apex402knownissues-189793.html] but it does not appear.
Related Data:
Application Express version 4.0.2.00.07
Firefox 3.6.15
SO: Windows XP
The error is not reproduced with IE7. I have not tested any other browser.
Regards,
Molina

If you tried opening up two pages in the same application each of which modifies the same page items, you would notice the same issue.
This is because, in a session there is only one set of values for page items(or application items) and every parallel call to the same page would update the same bind variables.
Now the development environment or Apex Builder is also an apex application , and when try and open up the pages as you mentioned, they both access the same Application Builder page and sets/resets any existing values for those variables(and maybe cookies too if they are being used) , hence the 'mixing up'.
If that didn't convince you, check the URL of both the pages when you load them, they should show the same page number ( f?p=APP_ID:PAGE_NUMBER syntax). Imagine if the same approach was done with one of your application pages, say an edit form opened from a report with multiple records in multiple tabs like what happened with this case: {message:id=9346663}
So this really isn't a bug in a way, because that is how session states in apex is/was maintained. Ofcourse if they used another kind of development platform for building pages, it may have been avoided, but thats an altogether different point in itself.

Can I use one GBIP-Interface with two programs at the same time?

Hi, I have one PCI-GBIP-controller with multiple instruments installed. Now I want to use these instruments with two differents programs at the same time.
E.g.: program 1 uses GPIB0::1 and GPIB0::3
and program 2 uses GPIB0::4 and GPIB0::7
Is this possible??
When I have tried to do this, I always got timeout errors..
Thanx in advance.
Philipp

Hi,
You shouldn't have any problems accessing different devices from different programs using the same interface. I even used the two VIs to communicate with the same device. Although not the best approach, VISA didn't return any errors.
