How can I hide the "home" and "net" volumes in mountain lion

I have a MacBook Pro that I updated to Mt. Lion. The home and net volumes are now visible in the Finder at the root level. They contain 0 bytes of data. How can I make them invisible?

Sometimes it takes me a while to remember this stuff. The issue is that these invisible folders are actually symlinks and not real folders. They behave differently. Here's something that used to work and may still:
Open Terminal in the Utilities folder:
cd /
nano .hidden
Press RETURN after each line. In the editor listing enter, one line each, home and net. CTRL+O to save the file. Now log out and log back in or restart. The files should be invisible.
Beyond this requires downloading the XTools in order to use one developer tool not included with OS X.

How can I hide the password and user name in url???

Hi experts,
I'm creating a login page and know I have a problem.
The Username and password are verified in a Java class, after checking the user and password, the user should be linked to the portal.
So far everything has worked well.
But when I call the lin like this
res.sendRedirect ("/ irj / portal j_user =" + UserN + "& j_password =" + passw);
then the user name and Pwasswort appears in the url.
Can someone tell me how can I hide the password and user name???
It will be very helpful.
Thank you

If there is no specific reason that you have to use sendredirect...thne you can try request.forward.....
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("pathToResource");
rd.forward(request, response);

How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?

How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option? I had someone go into the css I believe, and make it so there were no borders visible on the page (I could see the dotted outline while working on it, but when pushed, it wasn't visible (which is what I wanted). They called it "noborders." Since I had to reinstall, it went away. Help?
I have Dreamweaver CS5.5

Try this site: CSS Border
Add code then type in a zero. Later add border size you want.
examples: border: 0px solid black;
or
border: 1px 000000;
or
     border-top-style: solid; 0px 000000;
     border-right-style: dotted; 0px 000000;
     border-bottom-style: solid; 2px 000000;
     border-left-style: dashed; 1px 000000;

How can I use the "home" and "end" buttons

I have an external apple keyboard (full style, with number pad and all) plugged into my macbook. However, the "home" and "end" buttons don't function the way I'd like (i.e. they don't go to the beginning or end of a line).
Can I ever get this to work or does it just not function with a laptop that doesn't have that function in the first place. I'd like to not have to use multiple keystrokes just to get a similar home/end result.
Thanks!

How can I darken the font and grid lines in ICal Lion

The font and gridlines in ICal Lion are entirely too light for my eyesight. Can I somehow darken the color of these?

How can I schedule the Ringer and Alerts volume?

On a daily basis, I turn down the Ringer and alerts volume at night so my alarm clock does not wake me up with a super loud alarm. I then move the volume up before going to work so I can hear my phone ring throughout the day. This same routine happens every work day. I was wondering if there's an app that I can use to schedule how this volume goes up or down? kind of like the Do not disturb... any ideas?
Thanks!

Get an alarm app that has an independent volume and/or raises the volume over a few minutes (most of them will do this).
Also, you can schedule different alarms for different days (such as M-F then weekends) with different sounds.

How can I change the speaker and listening volume for incoming calls?

When I get calls, I'd rather have them be louder. When I use the speaker feature, same thing. Not loud enough. Help, and thanks!

You're a GOD! Thanks so much.

How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?

Hi, here's a question:
How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
Thanks for you answers,
Doug

Your apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others.

My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

Hi. To remove the horizontal scrollbar you can do this:
textArea.setWrapText(true);
To remove the vertical scrollbar you can do this:
ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)ta.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
scrollBarv.setDisable(true); and set the opacity to 0 in the css file:
//css file
.text-area .scroll-bar:vertical:disabled {
    -fx-opacity: 0;
}Here is an example:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.scene.input.ContextMenuEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TextAreaSample extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
        textArea.setWrapText(true);
        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(textArea);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
        scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
        ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)textArea.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
        scrollBarv.setDisable(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);

This is Illustrator, no matter which version you are using.
It doesn't work like in other programmes and Illustrator's behaviour is often undesired.
There is no good trick that I'm aware of to mimic Draw's or Freehand's way to do it.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
