How do I make preferences global?
This Oomph looks interesting but quite complex! I'm using eclipse for C/C++, and I have a custom code formatting style, and a custom syntax coloring style I use. In previous versions of eclipse I had to export both of those, and then import them in every workspace which is a bit of a pain.
So I imported the .epf and the formatting .xml files in Mars, and when I create a new workspace, my custom settings are not there. I do have the preferences recorder turned on. How do I make my syntax coloring, and code formatting work across workspaces without having to import them each time?
Moses,
Certainly there are a number of things we might consider adding as
features, e.g., drag and drop of an *.epf file might convert them to
preference tasks. Being able to record preferences into something other
than your user.setup, e.g., a project setup. Some ability to
selectively record the current setting of preferences as preference
tasks, much like the Eclipse's existing preference exporter (which is
very poor at being selective, so one often must literally paw through
the XML to remove unwanted things).
Think about which specific things would be very helpful, open
enhancement requests for them, and consider contributing something
towards those ends.

How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?
I need to change the front panel so that it can be used in a dark environment.Hi
The only way I see, is to use the "Controls[]" property and iterate through all of them. But don't forget about nested elements (i.e. clusters, tab-controls, ...).

How to set system preferences globally?
Hello!
I am trying to change preferences for all users who log into a system. For example, I want the screen saver to timeout at 10 minutes and require a password immediately after the screensaver starts. When a new user is logged in, this defaults back to 15 minutes and not to require a password after the screensaver is active.
I have modified the default user 'profile' but the settings do not stick for new users. How can I force settings in System Preferences to apply to all accounts, current and future? These systems are in an enterprise environment, but since they account for 0.001% of our entire system inventory, we do not run Open Directory and they will not be managed via AD. I would like to configure them as locally (and simply, most technicians here have no experience with OSX) as possible.
Thanks for any and all input!Creating a new user account on the machine requires a Admin account, so while there, set everything else up too and create a cheat sheet to expidite the process later.
Mac's are consumer machines, not for enterprise level use, they allow a certain degree of personalization.
Even in General User one is allowed to change the Desktop background and screensaver time.
If you want to lock the machines down. use something like DeepFreeze and set a nightly shutdown time and morning reboot. Everything will be set back to what you set it up like.
Apple uses that on their store machines, save files to NAS or external.
After awhile the users will avoid making changes to their machine and of course hate your guts. -
How do I make a global color change in Flash CS5?
I am a rank Flash newbie, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. In InDesign or Illustrator, if I want to change every red object to blue, I can go into the color list, edit the red color to the blue values, and every instance of red in the document reflects the edit. I don't have to select each red element and pick the new blue for stroke and/or fill. I can't find how to do that in Flash, yet it's hard for me to believe that that capability is lacking. Help please!
i don't think there is such a setting in flash.

How do I make a global helper servlet for all applications?
I am running about five different web applications in tomcat 5.0.24. They all need to do some spelling correction from time to time. I have a spelling correction API and a bunch of dictionaries, etc. so I can do it just fine. The problem is, I don't want each application to create all the dictionaries because then I end up with five spell checking programs and five dictionaries being accessed (basically I am exactly repeating myself five times and I start running out of memory). I would like to have a servlet that just sits waiting all the time and which any other servlet or JSP in any of my web applications can quickly dash of a spell check request to at any time.
How do I do this?
I think I need to write a servlet since I want to run it in tomcat and access it from my webapps, but it might not need to be a servlet since it is never actually contacted from a browser and will not ever write anything back to the client. I just need my other servlets and JSPs to access the spell checking functionality from time to time.I'd say tomcat/common/lib is a good guess for where you'd put the class's jar file, but I don't use Tomcat so I can't say for sure. As for how to only have one dictionary, you need a singleton class, i.e. one that only permits one instance of the class to be created. Like this, if you haven't heard of it:public class SpellChecker {
// create a single SpellChecker here:
private SpellChecker theInstance = new SpellChecker();
// don't let anybody else create another one:
private SpellChecker() {}
// provide a method for returning the single instance:
public static SpellChecker getInstance() {
return theInstance;
// remaining methods go here
// watch out for synchronization issues
}To get hold of the spell-checker, just doSpellChecker.getInstance()PC² -
I am trying to connect my macbook air through my led tv using hdmi but it won't work. I could not find arrangement option on my system preference. how do i make it appear again on my system preference so i can mirror it through my tv. thanks
Hi jenette,
If you are having issues using an HDTV via HDMI as an external display to your MacBook Air, you may find the following article helpful:
OS X: How to use multiple displays with your Mac in Mountain Lion and earlier
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019
(Note: You will generally only see the arrangement option in Displays when you are configured to use the external display in Extended Desktop mode; there is no arrangement in Mirroring as both screens are showing the same image.)

I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent? I have an older machine with Windows XP.
I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
Try this:
Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
Close and shut down the computer.
The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
What happens, which step do you have problems with?

Hello how can I make an application for a mac be in English it is in another langauge and my main menu system preferences is in english I am unable to buy pages ap until it is in English as I can not understand it?
Make sure you are purchasing from the appropirate App Store.
Click Categories from the menu top of the App Store window.
Now click the round flag icon bottom right corner of the window to select the correct country.
By the way, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to make purchases.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

This is far more confusing than I want it to be. I want to set the preferences on my icloud email so the body type is 18 pt. And I want to automatically cc all emails I send to my email addy so I have a copy. I was set up to do this before I was forced to swithchover to icloud. How do I make these preference changes? Also, is their an auto spell check? If so, how do I turn that on? It's apparentlllly nottt working on this postttt. And I might as well ask this question, too, as I kinda stumbled into this. Now that I am on iclound, will I have to do anything with the photos on my computer that I have saved in iphoto? And does someone actually answer these questions?

BEX Query variant - how to make it Global ?
We have a problem that we did not have in 3.x. In NW04s, when some one saves a query variant, it can be seen/accessed only by that person. We have a need to make it global so that other users in the division can use the variant to run the query. Does anybody know to make this work?
I looked at the table RSRPARAMETRIZA and the field PERSONAL is always set to 'X' for variants created in BEX (using new BEX tool). We tried to blank this out (for testing) to see if the variant becomes global. But it did not help, in fact after this change whenever I choose this variant it kicks me out and I have to login again.
Any input/workaround is appreciated.
Regards
-BalaAs of NetWeaver 2004s variants (created in the BI70 runtime) are stored as an XML string inside of the table RSRPARAMETRIZA. In BW3.5 and before they were stored along with ABAP variants within the table VARI.

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
ThanksHere is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor. If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks. And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window. Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify. Click Run in the Applescript Editor. Follow the instructions.
(* Put This In That
v2.0 april 22 2008
- runs as universal binary
- adds "Show" tag
- consolidated code
- saved as script bundle
v1.7 October 3, 2006
- adds "Album Artist" as option
v1.6 October 28, 2004
- works around iTunes 4.7 selection bug
v1.5 ('04/1)-- adds "grouping" tag
