How can I create a log for the dice roll generator on my website?

Here is my website: http://gator789.hostgator.com/~stillman/index.html
I want to create a log for each time the roll button is clicked to generate a random image of a six-sided die on my website. I was thinking maybe a MySQL database with PHP would get me what I want? I have no idea how I would start setting this up though. I don't want to sound to pushy here, but I would also like to have a form setup above the roll button for name details, etc. How would I go about doing this?

I don't understand why you need a log to generate a random number. The logic behind a random javascript image generator with a math function is all you need. Put your gif images into an array and let the script do the rest.

How do I Create a Log File?

Hi All
Been up for a while trying to figure this out with no luck.
I created an app that will uninstall a program and all of it's files.
example
try
                    do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/TestFakeApp"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/TestFakeApp2"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.FakeTestApp.plist"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.FakeTestApp2.plist"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/FakeTestApp*"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Application\\ Support/FakeTestApp"
          end try
there are alot more paths to remove but this is just a few for example
I want to be able to create a log.txt file on the desktop to show what has been removed and or what could not be removed.
I then tried by creating a text document by using
do shell script "touch ~/Desktop/test.txt"
tell application "Finder"
          open file ((path to desktop folder as text) & "test.txt") using ((path to applications folder as text) & "TextEdit.app")
end tell
but I don't know what to do next.
1. Have it check for each file to see if it was deleted or not
2. add it into the test.txt file
3. save the file once done
Any help would be appriciated.

Your version of it was simpler for me to understand..
Thank you
But having 1 issue with it.
I added some lines of non existing files to test if it did not delete them.
the log file showed they were deleted, but the files were never there to begin with.
I also added a return after each one write section so in the log file they would not be on the same line.
try
do shell script "sudo -v" password "" with administrator privileges
end try
do shell script "touch ~/Desktop/my.txt"
delay 2
set myLog to open for access file ((path to desktop as text) & "my.txt") with write permission
set eof myLog to 0 -- reset the file contents... eliminate this line if you want to append to an existing log
delay 2
write "this is a test" & return to myLog
delay 1
write "Trying to delete Test
" to myLog
delay 1
try
do shell script "rm -rf /Test" with administrator privileges
          write "Deleted Test
          " to myLog -- this will only execute if the above line doesn't trigger an error
on error
          write "Error deleting Test
          " to myLog
end try
delay 1
write "Trying to delete test2
" to myLog
try
do shell script "rm -rf /test2" with administrator privileges
          write "Deleted Test2
          " to myLog -- this will only execute if the above line doesn't trigger an error
on error
          write "Error deleting test2
          " to myLog
end try
delay 1
write "Trying to delete test3
" to myLog
try
          do shell script "rm -rf /test3*
          " with administrator privileges
write "Deleted Test2" to myLog -- this will only execute if the above line doesn't trigger an error
on error
          write "Error deleting test3
          " to myLog
end try
delay 1
write "Trying to delete test4
" to myLog
try
do shell script "rm -rf /test4" with administrator privileges
          write "Deleted Test4
          " to myLog -- this will only execute if the above line doesn't trigger an error
on error
          write "Error deleting test4
          " to myLog
end try
close access myLog

How to find/create SSO userid and password for oracle forms

ssoDynamicResourceCreate=true

Do i need to create a separate sso user in metadata repository to login to this forms application?If so , please tell me how to do it.
Thanx:)

There are two types of orcladmin accounts. The first (cn=orcladmin) which is typically used to login to Directory Manager, is the superuser. He has rights into all parts of OID. The second type is the realm orcladmin user (cn=orcladmin,cn=Users,<your_realm>). There will be one of these for each realm .
Login in to Oracle Diectory Manager as orcladmin , and :
Navigate to Entry Management > your_realm > cn=Users > cn=orcladmin
A sample realm would be dc=com > dc=oracle > dc=us
Scroll on the right side to "userpassword" and edit the value
Save changes and :
Retry logging in to OIDDAS as orcladmin

How to create application log in SAP

According to my reqirement,I need to display messages in the application log whenever some updation is done.
How to do create application log and display messages in the application log.

Hello Smriti
If you have interface IF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST available on your system then I highly recommend to use as message collector.
When you create an instance of the interface (CF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST=>CREATE) you can provide an application log object.
The collected messages can easily be saved as log.
For an example have a look at my Wiki posting [Message Handling - Finding the Needle in the Haystack|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/2007/07/09/MessageHandling-FindingtheNeedleintheHaystack]

How to change log in password

i don't remember creating a log in password. I know my security password for the screen saver and my apple id... but it doesn't give me an option for even a hint or to use my apple id to bypass. All I'm trying to do is download netflix. So annoying....

Check your account at https://appleid.apple.com. Go into Password and Security, answer your security questions and then you can chenge your password. Also, if this dosen't work, try calling up Apple Support. They readily fix such issues.

HT204053 How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

Welcome to the community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect. Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it. Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes.
Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

HP Simple Pass appears to have created its own Windows Log on Password

HP Pavillion M6 1035 Lap Top
Windows 7 64-bit
Hi, I recently bough this computer and reluctantly (cause I knew it would cause a problem) agreed to let HP Simple Pass help me manage my passwords about a month into ownership.
When I originally set up my computer I did not create any passwords for the log on (no need for me to). If prompted I just clicked enter. As far as I remember, before I set up HP Simple Pass, I was not prompted to log on at start up or I just clicked enter and- it loaded straight to my desk top. I certainly never had to type anything.
After using Simple Pass, I am prompted at log on for a password, or to swipe a finger. I've been using the finger swipe just fine but today decided it was a pain and I just want it back the way it was. That is when I discovered that Windows thinks I have a Log on password. I have tried any and all passwords I know, including all the ones I entered into Simple Pass. I have tried just hitting enter, "password", you name it and it won't let me on. I can still gain access with the finger swipe but in the settings for the software it does not show any information about Windows Log On. (You can for example view other account passwords, just nothing about Windows Log On).
I tried accessing it through my device manager and I found where I can disable this, but alas, I need the Windows logon password that Simple Pass [evidently] assigned.
Can someone please suggest what is going on? I am sure this will lead to a problem in the future and I am so sick of trying to fix broken computers (hence why I bought a new one).
Thank you in advance

I have only seen this a couple of times and I don't have the answer...
I do not know how you managed to set up SimplePass without a typed in Windows password. OK, having said that: if you have done it, then it's done.
I would suggest that you get yourself over to AuthenTec, sign up for their forum, and ask this question in the context of the SimplePass (maybe omitting the dislike of the product since it is, after all, their means of being in business).
Why do this? Because I don't think it should have happened. From the few entries I have seen on the AuthenTec forum, Miroslav Buran (at AuthenTec) is knowlegable in his field and may be able to help you straighten this out before it causes problems.
Be sure to explain that you are using HP SimplePass and let them know the exact version of the SmplePass Software to get the best help. Tell them your Operating System / bit, too.
When SimplePass IS used in conjunction with a Windows password (as intended), it works very well as a rule.
I am sorry your introduction to the tool was rocky and your experience has been less than stellar.
I would be very interested in hearing how this is resolved. If I find anything helpful, I will post back to you here.
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur

You don't need to create an account. Your use your Apple ID to log into Facetime.

Is there a way to create a log-in button with a password protected section of a site?

I have a client that needs a log-in section and a way to create a customer account. Is there a widget or workaround that allows me to create a log-in button and create a customer account where they specify a username and password? Muse is terrific for simple sites, but without having access to the code, I can't operate the way I used to. When I'd need custom work done like this, I'd hire a programmer to create the code, then simply paste it into the code of the site. I can't do this with Muse and it's a huge barrier. Anyone have any ideas or solutions? Please call me directly if you have a solution: 727-466-6888 (Florida).

You can fairly easy do it with Business Catalyst hosting's webMarketing plan. With a little Business Catalyst knowledge it can be achieved quite easily.
Other than that you would need to create your login forms and secure pages outside of your site and then add the login form and secure content to the site with iFrames. A more tedious and not ideal way of doing it.

How do I create a new password for my Airport Extreme if I do not know the old password?

If you have the Mac that you used to configure the AirPort Extreme originally, you may be able to retrieve the password from KeyChain Access.
See this User Tip from forum expert Tesserax:

If still no luck, you can reset the passwords again. Pay very close attention to the information about a Soft Reset in this Apple support document:
