How do I force a reinstall of ARD on Mavericks
I had a developer version of ARD and deleted it to reinstall the Mavericks version from the App Store. Now The app Store still thinks it is installed so I can't reinstall it. Is there anyway to force a reinstall of ARD.
Turns out this a quirk of the CAD software's Java API. I found it by chance in the 500+ page User's Guide. They suggest the work around of hitting Alt-Tab to select the dialog. So I'm not sure if theress a property that I can assign to the dialog to make it appear on top. The line I have is:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JFrame(), nameOfModels, "Models in Session", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);The parent JFrame is created only for when the dialog is opened. I can't create a bonafide parent JFrame for the Java API forbids multiple threads. I'm going to continue searching for some type of workaround. One possibility is to have a keyStroke make the Alt-Tab however this may be problematic. Thanks for the response.

How can I force PDF's to open in IE?
I have Windows 7 machines with IE8, Reader 11 with current patches. No matter what setting I choose in manage add-ons, PDF's open in Adobe Reader, instead of in IE. I have reset IE, repaired Adobe Reader and verified settings many times. How can I force PDF's to open in IE?
Yes - those were the first steps. I have also tried the accessiblity assistant options and that also did not allow PDF's to open in Internet Explorer. I was only able to correct it on one machine by fully removing Adobe Reader 11.0.04, removing the HKCU registry for Adobe and reinstalling. This is not feasible on 1300 machines. I would prefer a reg file that I can push, if I can identify which registry entries affect PDF opening in Internet Explorer.

I just purchased a used imac how do I clear then reinstall new os
I just purchased a used imac how do I clear then reinstall new os
Klaus1 is perhaps too brief if you have not done that before:
1. Put first DVD in the optical drive
2. restart and, immediately after chime, press C—this forces boot from CD/DVD, wait until you see Apple logo, then release C key
3. wait until you see the list of install languages, English is default, click ahead and now
4. Go up and choose Utilities, open Disk Utility, and choose to Erase/Format disk, as you wish
5. Close Disk Utilities and you will be redirected to installation proper
6. Go ahead according to what you see on the screen
If you do not have the two DVDs of any mac (bar the very recent ones, with Lion preinstalled), you must get a retail one, perhaps SL would be best or Lion, flash drive version directly. Booting from retail DVD is identical; for flash boot, press Option key after chime, then choose the USB flash disk, you will see it on the screen after several seconds.
The process is simple and logical, do not be afraid, you just need the install DVD or, beginning with Lion, Lion flash drive version. You may of course download the App Store version of Lion, which is at half price approx., but you need another mac to move it to another disk / flash drive in order to install it or do that before you erase the disk which, I understand, has a running system on it. -
How can I force PS Touch to sync?
How can I force PS Touch to sync? It only syncs randomly, about once or twice a day, even if no file is open. So, it is usually an out-of-date picture of what I have stored on the Creative Cloud. I have tried toggling the sync switch, quitting and restarting the app, deleting and reinstalling the app, signing in and out of Creative Cloud, and backing in and out of folders. I am at 6% of my storage limit, and 89% of my rope.
Q: When you save a new PSTouch project to the PSTouch gallery (with sync on) what is the sync status showing? In Progress? Completed?
A: It starts with "in progress" then switches immediately to 0% complete, and stays that way permenantly, even when left to sync for more than 24 hours. On the same iPad, I also have Adobe Ideas, Adobe Collage, Adobe Proto -- all sync perfectly. Also working fine on this iPad -- Adobe Revel and Adobe Content Viewer.
Q: What happens when you rename a PSTouch file in the CreativeCloud browser. Are the changes synced back to your PSTouch app.
A: No. Nothing at all will sync from the Creative Cloud, and nothing at all syncs from the PSTouch App to the Cloud either. I am, however, able to download images from the CC into PSTouch, but the resulting files won't sync back, I must email them to another device to add them back to the CC. The view of the Creative Cloud in the main PSTouch browser window is always out of date, several days old by now.
Q: What kind of files are missed during sync? Are those files named with special characters.
A: All files and folders are missed during the sync, because the sync does not occur. No files sync at all. File name examples: brochure.indd image.jpg image.psdx Folder Name
Q: Are you on a wifi network?
A: Yes, definitely connected to my functioning high speed WiFi.

I have copied dvds that I own, for backup copies, onto the desktop of my macbook. Then I've placed a copy into iTunes for viewing later. Once the copy is over in iTunes, I delete the copy of the movie on the desktop and it goes to the trash. I do this because 1) I don't want to clutter up the desktop and 2) I don't want multiple copies of the movies on my hard drive. When I go to empty the trash, it says these items are in use and will not remove them from trash. Why is that? They are not in use as far as I know. How do I force them to be removed from trash?
I had a similar problem. I think it was caused by deleting an app while it was still running. I should have shut the app down before deleting freom the applications folder. When I tried to empty trash I received message:
"The operation can't be competed because the item something.app is in use."
Go to utilities, open a terminal, change directory to the hidden Trash folder and remove the offending item in use. Example:
cd ~/.Trash
sudo rm -rf item
Next time, maybe try quting iTunes before deleting and see if it makes any difference.
http://www.macworld.com/article/2025381/mac-troubleshooting-what-to-do-when-the- trash-won-t-empty.html
Another approach might be to use the iTunes folder named "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.

How do I force-eject a CD when I cannot even get to the start-up screen?
Friends, Let me first apologize for getting myself into this mess, in the first place.
I bought a second-hand iBook G4 in the U.S., for a friend of mine, and brought it to South America, where I am living for one year, but far from any Mac Repair Center. I am getting the computer ready, to give to my friend, as a gift.
The computer was working perfectly here for the few weeks that I have had it. It has OS 10.3.9 installed, but no OS9. I wanted to install OS9, so that I could give my friend some older software to use with it.
(In fact, I inserted the software CDROM that I was going to give to my friend, into the second computer, to install the program before giving him the disk also. This was an important mistake.)
Moreover, the OS9 disk that came with this second "new" computer does not appear to be the same one that shipped with the computer originally. Consequently, when I tried to install OS9 Classic, it would not install correctly from this disk (although it was indeed made for installing OS9 to another iBookG4, but not this one, apparently.)
Consequently, as a short-cut, I simply copied my own Classic "system folder" from my own (completely) identical iBookG4, transferred it to a pen drive, and was going to move it to the second computer. Not all of the files copied successfully, however (some printer descriptions, for example), but most of them did.
So, I transferred what I could, in the meantime, and now I had a new Classic "system folder" on the second computer.
When starting up the Mac Classic environment there, however, the Classic environment would crash, and in that case I would just close the Classic environment altogether and continue normally in OSX mode, trying to solve the problem. I realized that my "copy" was not good enough.
Then I got the idea to make an "archive" of the original classic folder on my own computer, and then transfer the archive, to see if it would make a more perfect copy this way. It archived perfectly indeed, and at half the size, so I assumed that I would now have all the necessary documents, once it was transferred and decompressed onto the second computer.
Meanwhile, I decided to erase the incomplete corrupt copy of the (classic) system folder on the second computer, to avoid confusion when the new copy was transferred. As I moved it to the trash, the computer told me that it was being used by the system, and that it therefore could not be deleted. Since the classic environment was not running, I assumed that this was some sort of error, meant to protect the folder from accidental deletion regardless of the circumstances. Consequently I re-named the folder, and then deleted it successfully, and received no error message.
I went back to the first computer, to copy the new, archived classic folder to my pen drive. When I did, and returned to the second computer, I noticed that the screen was black there, but the disk, still spinning.
I checked to see if it was the display, or the connection, or if the computer was sleeping, or the screen saver activated, but none was the case.
I re-booted, but there was no start-up chime. The disk spun normally (or perhaps more loudly than normal).
I re-booted, holding down P and R, but no results. The display was completely black (i.e., no ilumination whatsoever, not merely a dark screen, but rather black).
I concluded that the source of the problem was what I had done with the classic folder (renaming it or deleting it).
I got the idea of inserting the system disk, to reboot from the CDROM, but the problem was that there was already a software disk inside, and it would not eject when the eject button was pushed.
I found some suggestions online. I rebooted holding down the track-pad button, for example. No results.
I rebooted holding down CMD OPT SHIFT O F, (or whatever the combinations were that were suggested). No results. I cannot even get a terminal screen to appear, much less a gray screen.
If I close the lid while the computer is running, the computer will NOT go into sleep mode. (So much for the suggestion about forcing an eject from sleep mode).
I noticed a comment online that there might be a force-eject hole inside the felt, but I do not know how to move the felt back well enough to see, nor do I know where to look, or whether there is even such a hole on this model. (if you know of a diagram or photograph online, please direct me)
(Incidentally, if it is any help regarding the model, it is of serial no. UV445CLX_ _ _ , assembled in Taiwan)
How can I force eject the CDROM inside?
Is the solution to reboot from the system software disk, once I succeed in ejecting the CDROM?You cannot boot an iBook from an external USB drive--only a firewire drive. Actually, the drive is just a drive--it is the enclosure that determines USB vs. FireWire. If you could find an appropriate firewire enclosure, you could remove the drive from the USB enclosure and place it in a firewire enclosure and then be able to boot from that. Or you could just purchase an external firewire drive if those are available where you are.
FireWire external drives are quite useful. One option would be to mount the external drive on the good iBook, format it properly for OS X with Disk Utility, and then use a program like Super Duper to make an exact clone of your internal hard drive. This is a popular way of backing up your stuff. You can boot from either the internal or the external. This means that if your internal hard drive were to die, you would have all your stuff on the external, and could run off of that. Since you are already using the USB for backup, it would probably be best to acquire a new firewire drive for troubleshooting and testing if you decide to go this route, since you really don't want to lose your existing backup.
If you did have a bootable clone, you could see if the sick iBook would boot from it or not. However, it may be more productive to pursue your other thread about the boot problem. I see that Richard has joined the thread as I had hoped he would. He actually works on iBooks and is very knowledgeable.
Also, if you do get the second ibook working and want to install OS9, you might want to post a question in the "Mac OS X v 10.3 Panther and earlier" forum. I'm not up on this myself, but I believe there is something about installing OS 9 drivers while formating or something like that. I believe the smart guys on that forum could give you some guidance so that you can avoid the problems you encountered earlier.
Good luck! -
I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How can I force-install iOs5/6 apps on my iPod Touch?
Hi, I have an iPod touch version 4.3.5 (ML1). Model is MC540C.
The App Store sometimes bars me from installing apps because the app has a minimum requirement of iOS 5 or 6. How can I force my iPod to install these apps anyway?No, it is more than the screen dimension.
You have a 4G iPod, why not update?
To update:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer -
How can I force iTunes Match to upload a "Duplicate" to the iCloud?
I have one album where the first track was uploaded, and the other eleven tracks are all tagged as "Duplicates." These tracks were not uploaded to the iCloud. How can I force iTunes Match to upload these eleven tracks erroneously tagged as Duplicates?
I'm adding my 2¢ because I just "discovered" iTunes Match yesterday and decided to subscribe thinking there was no downside (doh!).
Well, firstly, there's the enormous downside of Apple's structure not being able to keep up with (what they should have known would be) enormous interest... my iTunes has been matching for >20-hours and has yet to reach half-way up my library. BTW: I thought I read the iTunes Match info fairly thoroughly prior to subscribing and did not see anything about it being for songs vrs full library.
And secondly, and even more important to me, is that Apple's method of determining duplicate songs is not robust enough, especially for classical music and audio books (e.g., LoTR). I have >12000 "songs" in my library, and Match has determined a boatload are duplicates. They are not of course and even if Apple's duplicate-determining algorithm just looked at disc & track numbers it would "know" that. Anyway, there's a fairly good chance I will not have one complete album upload/match out of >500 albums. That's nae Scottish, in anybody's book.
Gotta say, using Garage Band to individually alter >2000 "songs" on the off-chance that may assist Apple's duplicate algorithm to be correct is not gonna happen. If, after the matching/uploading is complete, I still have >even 100-not-duplicate-songs listed as duplicates, I'm getting my $29.95 subscription back.
... and C: does anybody know why Apple's Lion spell check doesn't work on Apple's discussion forums??? -

How do I force Mail to use contact names in Address Book?
I ~need~ Apple Mail to display sender names as I have them in Address Book. My students are Thai and have typed their sender names in Thai, so I can't recognise a thing. I've sorted all the names out in Address Book (in English) but Mail still displays sender names using the email default, rather than the names from Address Book.
• Upon receiving new mail however, the message's sender name ~WILL~ show up as the name put in Address Book. HOWEVER, after viewing the message the name reverts back to the one specified by the email author!! After that I can't get the name to show up as the Address Book name!
Is there a toggle somewhere? How do I force Mail to use the contact names from Address Book?Try unchecking this:

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:
Time Machine:
Skip System Files: NO
Mobile backups: OFF
Auto backup: YES
Volumes being backed up:
Macintosh HD: Disk size: 749.3 GB Disk used: 453.81 GB
Destinations:
Plastic Wrapper [Local] (Last used)
Total size: 999.86 GB
Total number of backups: 64
Oldest backup: 2013-07-24 23:25:11 +0000
Last backup: 2013-11-17 01:40:47 +0000
Size of backup disk: Too small
Backup size 999.86 GB < (Disk used 453.81 GB X 3)
Time Machine details may not be accurate.
All volumes being backed up may not be listed.
/sbin excluded from backup!
/usr excluded from backup!
/System excluded from backup!
/bin excluded from backup!
/private excluded from backup!
/Library excluded from backup!
/Applications excluded from backup!
Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?

How can I 'force' my Macs to look for each other on the network?
OK, I have an iMac with a wired connection to a router, and a MacBook Pro with a wireless connection to the same router. Most of the time, they can 'see' one another on the network, no problem. But, every so often, even after both have been on for a while, I will click the Network icon and the other computer will not appear as available - this happens even when the target computer can see the computer I'm using to try to access it.
So, here's my question: how can I 'force' my Macs to look for (and find) one another on the network?
Thanks... if you need further information, just ask... - beckIf you are using Tiger, go to
Finder menu -> Go -> Connect to Server
Enter the specific IP address of the other Mac where is says +Server Address+. You can find the IP address by running System Profiler or looking at System Preferences Network pane (on the other Mac).
Once you have mounted the volume you to access, make an alias for it and place it in the Dock or on your Desktop. The next time you want to connect to that server, use the alias. -
How many times can I reinstall CS4 if I inactivate it?
Hello
How many times can I reinstall CS4 if I inactivate it before I make a new installation on the same computer?
Regards
MikaelMikael,
Not really, because it made me go to slipstreamed installations that proved even better. It takes some time to make a slipstream, but in the end it proves even better IMO. When Win7 comes out, one of my first steps will be to make a slipstreamed version and post a guide here on how to make one tuned to your needs. This is a very old screenshot, way outdated, but it shows what a slipstream installation can do for you:
Just insert the DVD and have some coffee. When you have finished your coffee and the PC has finished it's installation, you are ready to roll/edit. All tweaks will have been performed, logon scripts executed, etcetera. -
How do you force itunes comments to ID3 tags in MP3 files?
I have comments all throughout itunes. The mp3 files do not have those comments in the ID3 info.
How do you force itunes comments to write out to ID3 tags in MP3 files?
The folder and files all have write permission.Yeah, don't do that, you probably also degrade the sound quality... If you've confirmed it is something odd with multiple tags try this.
Select a group of mp3 files (You might want to start with a smart playlist so you don't mess with any other format)
Right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > None (may need to repeat this step if multiple tags)
Then right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > v2.3 (v2.4 support still patchy from various accounts)
Downside is that it will lose any embedded artwork, but it should preserve all other meta-data, both tag-based and stored within the library itself.
In fact, if you use my CreateFolderArt script before and after updating the tags it should archive any artwork as a local Folder.jpg image for each album and then reinsert that image on the subsequent run... Check it out on a single album first. If it doesn't work as expected let me know and I'll tweak the script to achieve this end.
