How can I grab the .webloc?

I'm on Firefox 26.0. Back around seven or so, or maybe seventeen, it had this feature: you could grab the little icon right left of the URL and drag it to a Finder container, and... a teensy file would appear, named something intelligent, with the extension ".webloc".
Now it won't do that. The same gesture opens a new window with the present window's URL preset -- A very useful feature, keep it, by all means. I know just when to use it.
But I lost my Grab to a Finder window. I could put all the web references on a topic in a folder. Of course, I'd rename them. But then when I decided to study a topic -- there they'd be!
No more. Sniff.
Or. maybe... Did y'all put it somewhere's else?
--Gil

Command does it! (Option doesn't.)
Thanks for the suggestion, cor-el. That works.
Both of the references you provided describe the feature but neither mentions having to use the Command key.
Well, no matter; you figured it out. Thanks for the help.

How can I grab a specific integer value from iTunes Current Album?

Currently I'm working with these two bits of code:
This returns the "album" value from the track current playing in iTunes.
on run
    set info to ""
    tell application "System Events"
        set num to count (every process whose name is "iTunes")
    end tell
    if num > 0 then
        tell application "iTunes"
            if player state is playing then
                set albumName to (get album of current track)
            end if
        end tell
    end if
    return albumName
end run
This brings up the the site I am working with (not the real site).
tell application "Firefox" to activate
tell application "Firefox"
    open location "http://google.com/"
end tell
Assuming all albums are formatted:
"XXXX[year]-XX[month]-XX[day]" = 10 numbers
How can I grab the first the first 10 numbers of the "Album" value? Eventually I want to figure out how to grab them then append them to the end of a URL to streamline functionality with a fan site. Thanks for any assistance!

The 'return' within the run handler is going to stop the first script. How are you trying to get that data to the second script?
If they're the same script just put the data into a variable and append it to the URL. This simplified script shows the principle:
on run
          tell application "iTunes"
                    if player state is playing then
                              set albumName to (get album of current track)
                    end if
          end tell
          set theDateString to text 1 thru 10 of albumName as text
          tell application "Firefox"
                    open location "http://bandsname.com/" & theDateString
          end tell
end run

How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

pierre
I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
    Open System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Click the Dates tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click the Times tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click OK.
    Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
    Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
    Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
    To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
    In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
    In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
    When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
    The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' " to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
- Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123

How can I extend the range of my chart?

I've asked this question before on here, and found that shift-clicking for more cells has usually worked, but I have now run into a new problem...
My chart used to cover the range B5:P50. However, since moving a column it now only covers the cell range H5:P50. My chart is on a separate sheet. Usually if I want to add more to the range it will be downwards, so I just click on the chart, then click on the Main Sheet and shift-click to add more cells. Unfortunately, because the range I want is to the left of the highlighted area this time, I can't use shift-click.
How can I extend the range of my chart so it includes cells to the left of the currently selected range? In Excel I'd be able to just type the range in a box somewhere, rather than all this GUI-based clicking and dragging which is actually more difficult! Is there somewhere I can just type the range in that I want?
Thanks!

"I want to add some series that are missing from the chart. How do I do that?"
Here's a two step process to do that:
Select the chart to show the the data selection on the associated chart.
Click in the leftmost column of the data, and drag left to change (move) the selection (blue arrow) for the result below:
Grab the control handle (small circle) at the bottom right corner of the selection, and drag right, as indicated by the blue arrow.
Result shown below.
Reassign colours and do other formatting as desired.

DDL statements in v$sql tables, how can i get the password.....

Hi friends,
When I create a user by issuing a statement like
create user abcd identified by xyz;
user created.
but, how can i get the password without encryption in the v$XXXXX tables. Is there any dynamic table which stores the statement executed above in the current session, so that I can get the original password given.
but when selecting the password by the query
select password from sys.user$
where name = 'abcd';
Password
==========
345ISDF9K4590DFJ35
.........this is not my password(yes it is!) but not understandable..,
Anybody please, show me the right way or query..,
Post-Query Thanx..
Praveenkumar Talla (Pune, India)

I would hope there is no way to get this data. I wouldn't want a mechanism to grab passwords out of the SGA. Passwords are stored encrypted in the database. If you need to know the password, run another 'alter user username identified by password' and make not of what you changed it to.

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
and it contain
8326=sun developer
4306=sun java developer
3943=java developer
how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
plz help guys..............

The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
props.load(is);

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

Hello Sophie59
You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

Hi,
If you would like to move your source models, target models and project contents from Work repository 1 to another work repository.
I.e. Dev. server to Prod Server.
1. Firstly, replicate the master repository connections i.e. with same naming conventions manually
2. Go to Dev. Server work repository -> File Tab -> Click on Export work repository (save it in a folder)
3. After exporting, you can view the xml files in the folders.
4. Now, Open the Prod. server and make sure you already replicated mas. rep. details.
5. Now, right click on model and import source model in synonym mode insert_update (select source model from the folder where your xml file located)
6. Similarily, import again target then Project.
Now, check. It should work.
Thank you.
