Hiding Applications

I'm not sure if this is the correct area of the forum.
I have a PDF that is launched within Workspace. However, I only want one group of people to see the card that launches the PDF.
I have set up a two domains ('Authorised Users' and 'Not Authorised Users') to separate the users that should have access and those that should not. I have also added the principle for 'Authorised Users' to the service and set INVOKE_PERM.
The 'Not Authorised Users' can still see the category, card and when they click it they get an error in the custom render. "An error occurred creating the form (task 2324, form 0). (ALC-WKS-007-040)". I don't even want them getting as far as the custom render.
Is there any way to do either of the following?
Hide the card so they can not click it; or,
Return a message in place of the error specifing that they are not permitted to use the PDF?
Thank you in advance,
Garreth

Hiding application when activating?

Hi Scripters!
I have an application that calls an Applescript which starts up QuickTime Player and records a short movie. When I start the recording, QuickTime becomes the frontmost application and opens a new window. I'd like to hide that behavior and leave my application as the frontmost at all tmes (this is a kiosk-type thing). Below is the script I've been using to hide the window and app once it starts, and while it works, there's still a momentary flash of the Quicktime application window.
Any suggestions?
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
if window 1 exists then
close window 1
end if
new movie recording
tell window "Movie Recording"
set visible to false
end tell
tell application "pie" to activate
start first recording
delay 35
stop first recording
if window 1 exists then
close window 1
end if
end tell

Hi,
Try using 'launch'.
tell application "QuickTime Player"
launch
-- do whatever
end tell
Edited: and btw, when you use launch, QuickTime doesn't make the initial untitled front movie.
gl,

Hiding applications that run at startup.

I have set Mail.app to open when I startup.
I have done this by going to System Preferences > Accounts > (My Account) > Login Items ... and then put a tick in "Hide" next to Mail.
But it still opens up as normal when I startup or login. Am I misunderstanding what "Hide" is for?... if not, I'd appreciate any ideas on hot to fix this.
Nick.

Am I misunderstanding what "Hide" is for?
No. The Hide function does not work on some applications in Mac OS X 10.4, such as Mail.
if not, I'd appreciate any ideas on [how] to fix this.
Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Mail" to run
delay 1
tell application "System Events" to set visible of process "Mail" to false
Save the script as an application, add it to the list of login items, and then remove the existing Mail application from the list.

Server 2008 R2 64 and hiding application ICONs

hi there
I just installed Symantec Disk Encryption 10.3 on three Windows 7 64 desktops, it was installed unmanged.
Each user that logs on and gets an automatic popup that says "Do You Want To Enable PGP To Be Available From This Computer" for every user logging on. Symantec says Managed or Unmanged, there is no Symantec option for that.
Is there a way, either Domain GPO or local Windows7 policy to block that? Thanks
Or, is there a way with either Domain GPO or local Windows7 policy to block or 'grey out' specific applications or icons?
Thanks
B.

Hi b.15101r.14944a,
The GPO can't used for application configuration, you can ask your software vendor for the more help, or if cancle this pop-up start at system boot possible.

Hiding Application To System Tray will cause Modal dialog unblock

I have a JFrame, when I minimize it, it will hide. The user can recall it back by simply double click on its icon, which is created in system tray during application initialization.
However, I am facing problem when I pop up a modal dialog box. (In Linux)
When I pop up a modal dialog box, I am expecting setVisible(true) will always being block, until the modal dialog box is closed.
However, in Linux, user is able to minimize the parent windows, even there is a modal dialog box. During minimization, I have to call JFrame.setVisible(false), in order to hide the application.
A side effect of calling setVisible(false) for a modal dialog box owner (JFrame), will cause the modal dialog box JDialog.setVisible(true) being unblocked and continue for the next statement.
How I can prevent this, to ensure the JDialog.setVisible is always blocked, until the JDialog is really closed? Thanks!

tnx Sarcommand ..i give up on that, i understand the risk if that feature is included..
all i wanted is to make an internet cafe client/server that blocks the client's pc interaction if log time is reached.blocking only the keyboard and mouse.
i have seen so many softwares sets the cursor position within the dialog bounding box only with user and password there. though my other application runs the mouse is still captured on the dialog even the dialog lost focus.
if that would not be possible I'll just send notification to the client, a dialog that does not block any application.
now, im going to try if the client can do som action whenever the server sends alert if the client java app is not the focus. i will post next time what hapens.but if you tried already, if u dont mind posting it so others could know it also..
tnx so much Sarcommand..

User Accounts - Applications

Hi there,
Is there a way of hiding applications bewteen different users, ie yahoo messanger, my son is barred form using it for two weeks howver I don't want to delete it off the system.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Two options:
(1) If you don't already have a folder named Applications in your Home folder, create it, then move the application you want to deny your son to it. In Mac OS X, applications installed in </Applications> are available to all users, while applications installed in <~/Applications> are available only to the respective user.
(2) Compress the application in question as an encrypted (password-protected) archive, then delete the app. When you want to restore it, expand the password-protected archive. (Make sure you don't forget the password!) Here's how
<http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/07/set-zip-password-mac-os-x/>
However, either option is easily circumvented -- what's to prevent your son from downloading his own copy of Yahoo Messenger and install it in his own <~/Applications>? Or running it from a USB thumb drive?
You need to look into a different solution -- eg, parental controls, or controlling traffic type from the router. (Or even better, forget the belief that social issues can be solved by technical solutions, and deal with your son on a parental, rather than technological, level.)

Logic - Must Force Quit After Hiding

I've encountered a strange but incredibly annoying problem with Logic Pro 8.0.2 and Leopard on my new (Early 2008) Mac Pro 2.8 8-core. When I'm working on a song, I frequently hide Logic to the dock when I edit an audio sample in Peak or Recycle; or even just to take a break and check email. I did this all the time with my G5 and Tiger. Now, whenever I hide Logic to the dock and try to bring it back up, it seems to have crashed - no error message window, but eventually the contextual window that comes up when right clicking on the icon in the dock says "not responding" and I have to force quit, usually multiple times before it really quits, then go through the slow process of reopening Logic or sometimes restarting the Mac. Logic is the only program that does this, and it's a major workflow/creativity killer. Has anyone encountered this or does anyone know what could be causing it? I do regular Unix maintenance, so I doubt that permissions are the problem. Between this and firewire problems (see my other post), I'm ready to downgrade back to my old G5.

I'm really sorry in advance to the OP, mods, and other poor souls that have to read this thread and this post. But this nonsense must be stopped......
(be sure to have at least 100GB of free space in the System HDD
this is a Leopard requirement!!)
....expecially when Hiding an Application such as Logic... this require a great ammount of Virtual Memory Size...
if you don't have at least 100GB free in your disk... this behaviour should be happen!
Fer, this is getting ridiculous! Every time I see a post of yours you increase the gb requirement for running Logic, Leopard, Virtual Memory, etc. You have got to stop giving poor confused Logic users false information.
100gb free??? A LEOPARD REQUIREMENT???? The Mac Mini, THAT COMES WITH LEOPARD, comes with an 80gb hard drive! And several models come with a 120gb HD. To say that Leopard requires 100gb free is absolutely positively FALSE. And to say that if you don't have 100gb free on your HD, then doing a simple action like HIDING AND APPLICATION should cause it to freeze might be one of the most ridiculous statement I've ever seen on this forum.
I appreciate your enthusiasm on this forum, but you have got to stop giving false information. I ran Logic and Leopard for several months on my MBP with a 120gb HD, with between 15 and 20gb of free space, AND IT RAN JUST FINE. Virtual Memory was fine, hiding applications, including Logic, was fine, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL. Please post useful information and stop posting this nonsense.
If you, or anyone else, has real tangible information to back up your claims, please post, and I'll happily retract my statements. Until then, stick to the facts man!

Extremely disturbing display defect (photo)

Hi there.
Since installing the Apple iMac Graphics Firmware (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307008) the following strange display fault occurs from time to time on my Aluminium iMac 24" machine:

Image: !http://idisk.mac.com/baeuml/Public/Pictures/Skitch/Grab_2-20071117-164101.jpg!
Colorful lines and sectors all over the screen, sometimes in windows frames and also color-distortions in the menu bar or where icons should be.
It goes away when opening new windows or hiding applications.
What is that?

Hi!
I too had this same problem.Try restarting the computer and pressing (symultaneously) cmdalt+pr just before the grey screen appears. This did the trick for me. Hope it works for you!

Vibe UI need extra features

Vibe UI is really nice and good looking. But when compared to ZenUI of Azus, there is room for improvement. Can you guys add more features such as provisions for locking and hiding applications in the coming versions. Also why isn't the SECUREit application not available in A7000 phones

When I was testing the Vibe Z2 Pro (K920) at some point all widgets stoped working properly so I had to restart the phone to facotry settings and suddenly it started to work well.
In case you dont have a lot of data on the phone already and don't mind the facotry reset you could try doing that and post your results? Settings -> Backup and reset -> Factory reset
I agree that if you close the app from recent apps and the widget stops working this would be kind of too aggressive. I did not have this on other devices as well. It seems to me that my current Vibe device is not doing this.
In my view if the widget is on the screen it should work and be updated reularly. Did you try to play with the settings "Show notofications" on and off? Settings -> Apps -> APP -> Show notifications
P.S. It is true that the Lenovo Security up is quite powerful and overprotective, and you could also look at the settings of that app, I still did not discover all the settings the app offers. Let us know

Don't break OS commands

It's seriously annoying when software companies override basic operating system keyboard shortcuts. Command-H is the universal "Hide" comand in Mac OS X. Why would you use it for anything else?
There are plenty of other keys to use. This stuff is really not that difficult.

Well, you know, while Adobe does lots of silly and annoying things, in justice I have to point out that Command+H has been used for hiding selections in Adobe graphics programs since long before apple adopted it for hiding applications. It dates back to OS 7.5 or so, and I do see that in this case it was a six of one, half a dozen of the other kind of situation. (The shortcut for feathering in PSE 8/mac, now, that's a different story,IMHO. )
You do know that control+command+H will hide PSE? Just checking, since lots of people don't find that.

Facebook ...I dont want it, but BB send me always the application

Hello,
Please help me...I deleted 5 or 6 times the Facebook application, but BB send me this apps every week.
How I can delet this forever. Could you give me a contact number or something else to get rip off it.
Thanks
Christoph

If you are using corporate BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) - contact your system administrator to setup push-service on the server according to your device.
If you're using Wireless Carrier Blackberry Internet Service - contact support team of your wireless carrier company and tell'em to stop pushing unwanted apps on to your device.
Hiding application icon is not a solution. Hidden application still consumes resources of your blackberry device.
if your issue solved set "Solution" mark at the relevant post

Hiding Tabs in PCUI application on Runtime

Hi.
I'm looking forward to hide a tab in a PCUI application during Runtime but i'm getting the following bahiviour:
Let's assume i have 20 tabs and i don't want the TAB 15 to be displayed. I've used the method CHECK_ACTIVE_TABSTRIP in TAB 1 in order to delete from the list TAB 15 and "great" -
> that works ! :-D but..... as soon as i switch to TAB 2, TAB 15 is displayed again !!!!! does it mean that i have to redefine such method in all the MAC's and place my code for hiding the tab ?????? isn't there a BADI or kind of ? that doesn't make sence to me.
Thanks.
Armando Rodriguez.

This is how it works in PC-UI...
You can implement the logic in one method and call this in all MAC's...
Enjoy....

Hiding and Unhiding applications glitch?

Since Mountain Lion (or maybe even since Lion), the behavior of hiding an application (⌘H) has changed:
Previously after hiding an application, its icon would go to the end of the list when you hit ⌘-tab to cycle through running apps. Now the "hidden" app is only moved one space to the right, to the very next icon in the list. I am constantly accidntally re-opening the app I just hid.
Seems like the more intuitive way is to put the hidden application at the end of the list, so the user doesn't accidentally re-open it; that's the way it always was in OSX, up to Lion. Now, it feels glitchy to me.
I'm just sayin!
Anyone else agree?
