How do I keep my profiles from being wiped and substituted by default profile after upgrade

Linux, openSuse 13.1. After setting up 9 profiles that I need to do my work, an upgrade wiped each custom profile and filled it with the firefox default, how do I stop this behavior.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild

How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?

No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.

Re: How do I keep an application from being started morethan once?

Here are some quick ideas. None of them should be too hard to implement,
although each has some drawbacks.
1. Have a login server track who is logged on, and if there is already a
logon for a given user or a given machine, then deny the application
startup. The nice thing about this is that a user will not be able to have
multiple logins even by going to another machine. Then again, this may not
be so nice, and you also get a possible single point of failure on the
login server for which you will have to prepare.
2. Drop to the operating system, and get a list of processes for the client
machine. If the name of one of them matches the name of application that
is being run, then deny startup. This avoids a network hit, but requires
some OS specific code. Also, a clever user could change the name of an
executable to get around this. Note that a user could have another login
on another machine.
3. Write to a file on the local machine. You can hide the file in some
suitable place, and can also scramble some information so that a user
cannot get around having this file present by reading from the file at
startup and then writing to it. Based on the state of your application,
the file will have some scrambled information indicating if an instance of
an application can be started. If you retain the write lock (i.e. do not
close) the file for the duration of the application, you increase your
security at the risk of a confused user if the application gets terminated
without releasing the lock. Depending on the OS where the client will run,
this could be an issue. If you like this option, perform some experiments
first on all configurations of an example client machine to determine the
behavior. Again, this only works to prevent an extra login on a single
machine, not system wide.
If you are not concerned about your users hacking around too much and don't
care about a login on another machine, I would opt for some version of
number 3. Otherwise, I would venture number 1.

Yet another quick and dirty solution is to use local ExternalConnections.
This is a single instance per machine solution.
Example is attached.

Martin,
there are two ways to read your question
(a) no more than one instance of an application per machine
(b) no more than one instance of an application per "user"
now if a user has only one machine, and your system has "userids" and you
only want
one active "session" per "user" then the distinction is irrelevant.
However, many systems
let people share logins, so a token based thing enforcing one login will be
problematic.
The downside of #1 approach suggested by Curtis happens when a machine gets
hosed without "logging" the user off the security system, then they can't
get in until their ticket expires or a sysadmin gets involved. Should be
manageable, however. But this enforces one application
instance per user, unless you check both for the presence of an active
token for that user as well as the presence of a token tied to that
particular node name. Otherwise there is nothing to prevent the same user
from launching the app again and logging in as a different user. This is
definitely the best approach of the bunch, and can be adapted for either
(a) or (b).
Suggestion # 2 won't work unless the application is built as a compiled
client,
since the process name will be 'ftexec' and not the "name" of the
application. And it doesn't
prevent a user from launching the app from a different machine (or people
sharing logins). So again it depends on what you are trying to achieve.
#3 also only prevents multiple instances per machine, not necessarily by
user. Of course
most people don't have multiple machines. The point is that you may be
trying to
prevent your users from sharing logins. In which case the file thing won't
do it.
Some other ideas:
1. You could, however, enforce one application per machine using the
installed partition agent's ExecutingPartition instrument name. As long as
the user doesn't run the app in a different environment, you can have the
app check at startup time if there is another
ActivePartition running under the same InstalledPartition name.
(ActivePartitions are child agents
of InstalledPartitions).
2. use the ObjectLocationManager and bind a simple object into the naming
system using a naming scheme such as
/MyApplication/MyNode or
/MyApplication/MyUserId
the presence of either one would indicate that another instance of that
application is running on either that machine or that user. Of course
these have to be cleaned out, and subject to similar downside as
alternative #1. So you'd essentially be using the forte naming system as a
distributed lock manager (ouch).
3. Have the application remove the shortcut to launch it upon startup, and
recreate it when it is finished, or move it to a hidden place. There it
is - the worst idea I've ever come up with. Don't
do this!

John

How can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my new macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.

Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.
As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
Many thanks!

Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

Your question confuses me because there is no way that the iPad can switch Apple ID's without user input. Where are you seeing evidence of this?
If you are seeing app updates that require your husbands ID, that's because those apps were purchased with his ID and will always require his ID and password for updates.
If you are seeing his ID elsewhere, explain....

App or podcast downloaded to iphone is deleted from iphone and transferred to iTunes 11. How can I keep the file from being deleted from the iPhone?

I recently updated iTunes from version 10.x to 11. In version 10, I could download a podcast or an app to my iPhone from the app store, then the app or podcast would co COPIED to iTunes during a sync. Now with version 11, when I sync, the app or podcast is deleted from my iPhone and MOVED to iTunes. How can I get back the old feature of making a copy? This is a very dumb thing that happens in iTunes and I can not believe that I am the only one to complain abou this. Please help me. What do I need to change in iTunes to keep my copy on the iPhone.
Thanks to all you geniouses out there!

Not 100% sure of your question. If you are wanting to delete apps from itunes just right click then delete then empty recycle bin.

How do I keep my text from being distorted when I do a lower arc?

When I create an upper arc in my text it looks normal, but when I do a lower arc, it expands all the letters in the middle instead of just curving them, so that it has a sort of "fish eye" look. How do I keep it from doing this?

No, gratitude for your help. Since I've never done the text the way you suggested, I found a video on youtube to show me how. However, I have not been able to get satisfactory results. Why will PS allow me to make a perfect upper arc with my type, and it won't do the same on the lower arc?

Delete them from the local computer. Nothing gets moved. If the content was purchased from iTunes it should be available for download again in the future.

If the device is synced with iTunes on the computer and the content is deleted from iTunes it will also be removed from the device.
Realistically, if you want to keep the content, keep it stored locally. Purchase an external drive to store the content on. Keep in mind that iOS devices are NOT backup devices, they merely mirror the content in the iTunes library on the computer.

How do I keep my videos from being squeezed in Premiere Elements 12?

I was using one dell laptop and moved over to another dell laptop and suddenly Premiere Elements 12 was squeezing my projects. I am unable to adjust the project settings and when I use the interpret footage option, my videos play horribly. What is the best answer for this? How can I fix my settings for PE12 since all my footage comes from the same source?

CKENN19
Thanks for the follow up. It sounds like you are OK, but let me review a few things to make sure.
Assuming NTSC setup...Windows
1. If you are capturing DV data with a firewire connection into Premiere Elements 12/12.1, your source media can be DV Standard 4:3 or DV Widescreen 16:9 depending on your camera recording settings.
Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 are set up to take over setting the project preset automatically based on the properties of the first video dragged to the Timeline. When it cannot do the job for whatever reason, it does not give you the closest fit to what you require for your particular source. It gives you its default 1080i30 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second).
If your camera has DV data 4:3, then you set the project preset manually beforehand to NTSC DV Standard. If your camera has DV data 16:9, then you set the project preset manually beforehand to NTSC DV Widescreen. Both Standard and Widescreen have the same frame size, that is, 720 x 480. In the case of the Widescreen, there is a 16:9 flag which stretches the video for display after encoding (to 856 x 480).
You should not have to be using Interpret Footage to get the appropriate aspect ratio when you have done DV data 4:3 or 16:9 capture firewire into Premiere Elements Capture Windows. That concerns me if you do.
Also important is that you are putting DV AVI type 2, not type 1, on your Timeline in the DV data capture firewire process. If Premiere Elements is part of this capture process, DV AVI type 2 is what you should have.
Please consider the above and then let us know, when your schedule permits, if you are OK with the information
Thank you.
