How do I add to the list of servers in 'Date & Time' System Preferences?

Earlier versions of the Mac OS (9 and below, I believe) allowed a user to add to the list of time servers in what was then the Date and Time Control Panel. Now, under OS X (Tiger), I am able to select from the three servers that Apple provides, but I would like to add my own. I am able to paste a new one into the field of the 'Date & Time' preference pane, but it will not be permanently added to the list. There must be a way to do this, no?
Thanks!

it will not be permanently added to the list.
It should stay there as long as you don't change it.

HT5953 How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

Hi, I had the same problem you described, and I noticed that there are two ways of activating text to speech on iBook for Mac, with different speed results (at least on my MacBook Pro Retina display)
On your iBook you can select the text and and then click on > More> Start speaking, and you will get a certain speed, which tends to be too slow.
But you will get the speed you had selected with "Go to System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech. In there is a slider to adjust the speaking rate." if you use the TOP MENU (next to the black apple) under Edit>Speech>Start Speaking. I also learned that under System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech, there is an option for a shortcut which is very helpful. And you can change Key. Hope this was helpful.

How to remove SANE from the list of scanners that are shared in Preferences

So I installed SANE for an old scanner, which is now replaced by a new Canon that is supported by native OSX and canon drivers. I therefore uninstalled SANE, the prefpane and all occurrences in the /Library and so on, however it is still being listed as an option in the scanners that can be shared i.e. in System Preferences>Sharing>Scanner sharing.
How do I go about removing this, any hints?
I also have this suspicion that this is the root of major issues I have accessing the scanner on my system some times, since I get "scanner communication errors" quite frequently, which are in turn resolved my plugging my scanner off and back on again...I did reinstall the software and drivers that came with the scanner to no avail.
Thanks

Hey, I used wonder as well where the information was stored regarding the scanner sharing and I think I found a solution. Here's what I found. Download an application that can edit .plist files, such as Martin Bresink's "Prefedit" or "PlistEdit Pro".
Go to this location: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost and find the file "com.apple.ImageCaptureExtension2.[xxxxxxxxxxxx].plist" where X's stands for your specific Ethernet/Airport Mac address.
Edit the file using the application mentioned and remove your scanner/device (SANE) from the Devices list (remove the device number, ie. 0 or 1 or 2, etc). Save the file. If unable to save, change permissions to own the file, save it, and reset the permissions.
That removed the shared scanner from my list of scanners in the sharing preference.
Hope it works.

Sorry - I linked the article for iOS Reminders. You are posting in the Mountain Lion forum, but you have listed the OS X for Snow Leopard. What OS X are you running?

Library filters: can I add to the list of metadata fields that I can search by?

Is it possible to add to the list of metadata fields that lightroom can search for images by?
I know about the 'Any searchable ... ' but that does now allow me to search for specific conditions -
I am using some of the IPTC fields as a way to classify images of mine for various purposes and would like to
do something like search for images where the iptc source field has a certain value while the instructions
fields has some other value. I do not think this is possible using the available tools.
So, I'd like to be able to add these fields to the menu of possible fields in Smart collections
of the library metadata filter.
So, am I missing something obvious? Can this be done?
Cheers,
Bonny

Hi Rob,
Thanks for this plug in - it's really great.
The fields I'm looking for are part of the IPTC fields, and since I'm entering them in LR, they're not part of the image,
and I assume not something that exiftool can find in the image. So unfortunately I do not think I can use this plugin
for the actual purpose I'm intending.
I'll shed some light on what I'm doing and therefore what I'm looking for:
I have a collection of images (of people) that I need to match names to.
I use some IPTC fields (that are otherwise useless for me) to store this data.
These fields are the "Job Identifier", "Instructions", "Creditline" and "Source" in the IPTC tagset.
At some point I then want to look for errors in the data entry, etc and so I need to search for various
values of those fields for validation purposes mainly.
I created a tagset using Jeffrey's plugin and it allows me to view and use only the info I'm after, but no searching.
Your plugin provides more complete functionality (tagset creation as well as the searchability). The only question
is how do I go about using your plugin to use the fields I'm using?
Cheers,
Bonny

How can I find out the list of users who has the access to IT 0008

All,
How can I find out the list of users who has the W R permission for IT 008
for others?
SUIM doe not look like giving me the correct results.
Please advise.
Thanks,
From
PT.

combine tables AGR_1251 and table AGR_Users on keyfield AGR_USERS
in tabel AGR_1251 select on Field LOW values IT0008.OR W OR R,
noiw you get also other values
So better solution run the query twice over AGR1251 first on IT0008 and secondly on values W OR R and then the result over table AGR_USERS
Youu also might put an additional selection on object P* (only selecting HR objects)
output wll be UID in table AGR_USERS

How can you add/change the currency rate in spro?

Hi all,
you can add a new currency code by going to spro --- general settings --- check currency codes
for example: PERU ---> PEN
But, how can we add/change the currency rate PEN in spro?
for example: Peruvian Nuevo Sol = 4,3567619
Is it still in customizing? And if so, where can i find it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Pamela.

Hi Aman,
I have entered the field to add the new currency rate.
But the system doesn't want to valid my new rate.
I get the following error message:
"Input should be in the form ._,____ "
Do you know how to override that command?
Thanks.

Pamela

How often do you use the List bar to Navigate

Hi Ppl,
I'm trying to build a custom sequence editor. In the Sequence Editor while the executions are run the sequence file view tab is open. So most of the time I use the tab's to navigate between sequence view and execution view. However in the full featured UI the sequence view is not visible while executing. So we have to navigate using the list bar.
I wanted to know will it be better to implement the way sequence editor displays the sequence view while executing. I can use a combo box to navigate to various sequence files and executions within the respective views. How often you guys use the list bar to navigate ?
Thanks

I use it once in a while. It definitly should not disappear.
Of course I have no idea what "isn't so great" means. Relative to what?
Is it worse than the current user search?
Is it better that the current user search but not as improved as the new forum search?
Is it just different?
Are the user search results better, but the interface is harder to use?
One thing could be improved. There should be a way to sort partial matches by the number of posts so inactive members don't clutter the first dozen pages of the search result. For example, if I search for "Dennis", I want him on top of that huge list. (many, many pages!)
If I search for "Dennis K" I still want partial matches, but currently there is no result if I do that. (Why does "Dennis" return many matches while "Dennis K" returns nothing (!!?), and "Dennis Knutson" again works????)
To answer your questions as best I can, the new user search is just different. The way that it presents information is different (you can check out Lithium's community to see what I mean). When I do a search, the user I expect to show up first does not necessarily show up first - in that way, it's about the same as your Dennis example. I think the current search works better for me because as an Admin I get the ability to search more fields.
On the plus side, you get the option to sort the user results by Login name (alphabetically), rank, posts, or registration date, all which could help you with finding Dennis.
So to summarize, I think the actual results will be similar with some added sort functionality. The user interface is very different, in more of a grid view as opposed to a list. I don't know that I would classify it as better or worse. That's a great wishy-washy answer, right?
Thanks,
Laura

Added server not listed in Server pool (not even on the list of servers)

Hello VM Gurus,
I'm playing with Oracle VM and I've encountered problem I can not solve of find existing solution.
I'm playing with Oracle VM version 2.1.5.
I have 3 psychical machines (let say A,B,C). On every machine I have installed WMWare workstation. I've created all together 5 VMWare virtual machines.
On Physical machine A I have 1 VMWare virtual machine named A1. This is used as Virtual Machine Server.
On Physical machine B I have 2 VMWare virtual machine named B1 and B2. B1 is used as Oracle VM Manager. B2 is used as Virtual Machine Server (also Server Pool Master and Utility Server)
On Physical machine C I have 2 VMWare virtual machine named C1 and C2. Both are used as Virtual Machine Serves.
1. I've Created Pool of servers (HA set up) and first added server B2.
2. After that I've added to pool A1 without any problems
3. After that I've added to pool C1 without any problems.
3. After that I've tried to add to pool C2. Process (wizard "Add server") finishes without any problems. But server does not appear on the list of servers in pool. It does not exist On a list of servers neither. If I try to add server again I got error OVS-2005 saying that this server is part of another Pool.
If I stop agent on C2 , delete folder /etc/ovs-agent/db and start agent, I can again add server, but results are same (it does not appear on list of servers. Another try to add server results in OVS-2005 error).
If done also this process:
1. I've stopped agent on C2, deleted folder /etc/ovs-agent/db and starte agent
2. I've removed C1 from pool
3. I've added C2 to pool without any problems
4. I've tried to add c1 to Pool. Same problems as in the past with C2 (not appearing on the list of servers).
I went though agent logs, VM manager logs. I ca not spot any problems. I've connected to database with SQL plus and there was no evidence of failed server there (so data is really not written to repository).
I run out of ideas. What could be wrong? where to look whyt is problem. How to diagnose problem. I believe that Oracle VM somehow treat this two VMWare servers as one, but I can not prove this.
Somebody else had this problem? Any hint what to diagnose further? I understand my configuration is a bit stupid, but I'm trying to get familiar with Oracle VM.
Any hint will be appreciated.
Regards
Darko

Or use one machine as the NFS server and Oracle VM Manager and the other two as Oracle VM Servers. Trying to run a Type 1 Hypervisor inside a Type 2 hypervisor is fraught with peril. I'm surprised you actually got this far, to be honest. :)

You're saying that when you click on the iCloud preference pane button it sends you to the defunct MMe
rather than giving you this?
Is your profile up to date, i.e. are your running 10.7.5? Make sure you click on the iCloud button and not the MMe button.

We need to have a list of SAP objects changed.
can some1 help me out as to how this can be done.

>>>We need to have a list of SAP objects changed.
Use Tcode SE95 to get a list of modified Objects.
Regarding your other Question about Jobs... I guess you are referrring to the Background HR Jobs that are scheduled for periodic processing.. Go to Tcode SM37 & do a wildcard search on HR.. click on each Job to get the details & click on the 'Step' tab to get the name of the program tied to the job..
