How do I prevent items from showing up under "Available Software" in the software center after they have been removed?
I have some scenarios where I want to keep older or multiple versions of an application around in the Application Catalog website. The problem is when I deploy a script to remove one of these applications after removal it starts to appear under "Available
Software" in the Software Center. Our users have noticed this and discovered that they can go there, select the application and reinstall it. I need to find a way to prevent this. Is there some sort of setting I can enable to prevent certain applications
from showing up under "Available Software" but still have them listed in the Application Catalog Website?
I show in the SDK about properties passed to the Software Center that deal with Applications but nothing on how to interact with it directly in dealing with the Check box for "Show Optional Software".
You can always see if there is a captured regentry when you click it. I don't know if this setting is wiped out when you close the SC. If so you could create something to create the key to force the check box. Sorry, maybe someone will
have a better answer for you.

Thanks for responding again Matthew. Yeah I googled around and got nowhere. I did find a thread here that touched on it where Torsten Meringer responded and seemed to indicate that it could not be done. I find that hard to believe (where there's a will there’s
a way right?). I did tag the Software Center with a registry watcher on my stet VM and tried unchecking that box. Got nothing so wherever the setting resides it does not appear to be in the registry. Very frustrating to have the solution staring me right in
the face and being unable to do anything about it. Hopefully someone who has a working method will see this thread and respond. Until then I guess I’ll keep digging.
Side note – I’ve worked in Oil and Gas now for 10 years. Awesome to have an admin from Schlumberger respond to my post. We energy people have to stick together right? ;)

How to remove apps from iTunes after they have been removed from iPod Touch
If I remove an app from my iPod Touch, they still exist in iTunes. After a while, they can add up and take up lots of space on my computer. What's the easiest way to remove ALL apps that no longer exist on my iPod Touch but are still in iTunes? I currently just manually go through the list to delete them from iTunes, which seems to work, but is there a better, more efficient way?
Anna,
Your suggestion of using the Control key does not work on a Mac.
On a Mac, one can:
1. Use your Command-(Apple) key to select items that are not in consecutive order. It's appropriately called a "non-consecutive select".
2. Use your Shift key to select consecutive items.
3. Or use your mouse to perform what's called a "lasso" select. Click your mouse/clicker down while dragging over the items you'd like to select, and then drag them to the trash.

Using Mail under iOS, 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old, obsolete adreesses no longer in Contacts?
If you open Mail and then in its File menu at the top, click on Window and choose Previous Recipients, you'll get a popup window listing them. At that point, you can highlight and delete any/all.

After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone. Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased? I had some very important notes that I have to be able to find. Anyone know how?
I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

Photos showing in memory after they have been deleted
I have an iPhone 5s and have synced photos in iTunes to import my photos, and then deleted a few hundred pics.
Currently, my phone shows that I have 116 pictures, and 0 video - but when check usage, it shows 15.9GB still being used by photos.
I have connected the phone to my computer and in iTunes done a backup, and a restore iPhone. This did not correct the issue.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thank you in advance.Rivets wrote:

In most cases, no. Unless you are experiencing a specific problem with an app, you really don't need to close anything. Should you need to, pvonk explained it nicely.

Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue? I tried to sync them over using iTunes last night but it says that they cannot be played on the device. But they have previously
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -

If you are seeing a cloud icon, they are not actually on your device, just available to download. If you wish to turn this off: Settings app > Videos > Show All Videos [turn OFF]. This is also available in for the Music and iBooks apps.

How can I prevent Message from showing home and other numbers?
Message+ is offering ALL the phone numbers in the database! It should only be offering mobile numbers. How can I make it be more selective? TIA
I re-read my initial posting and I should have been more clear. When I use Messenger+ to send texts, it offers me all the phone numbers in the Contacts list. It should NOT offer me the Home, Work, Fax numbers that cannot be sent texts.

Hi,
I noticed a strange focus traversal behavior of JTabbedPane.
During tab traversal (when the user's intention is just to switch between tabs), the focus is transferred to a component outside of the tabs (if there is a component after/below the JTabbedPane component), if using Java 6. For example, if using the SSCCE below...
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.Box;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class TabbedPaneTest extends JPanel {
public TabbedPaneTest() {
super(new BorderLayout());
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 1", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(0, KeyEvent.VK_1);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 2", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(1, KeyEvent.VK_2);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 3", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(2, KeyEvent.VK_3);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 4", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(3, KeyEvent.VK_4);
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
panel.add(tabbedPane);
JButton button = new JButton("Dummy component that gains focus when switching tabs");
panel.add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
* To replicate the focus traversal issue, please follow these steps -
* 1) Run this program in Java 6; and then
* 2) Click on a child component inside any tab; and then
* 3) Click on any other tab (or use the mnemonic keys ALT + 1 to ALT 4).
button.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
@Override
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
System.err.println("Gained focus (not supposed to when just switching tabs).");
add(new JScrollPane(panel));
private JPanel buildPanelWithChildComponents() {
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
BoxLayout boxlayout = new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS);
panel.setLayout(boxlayout);
panel.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(3));
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
panel.add(new JTextField(10));
panel.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(3));
return panel;
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test for Java 6");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new TabbedPaneTest());
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
... Then we can replicate this behavior by following these steps:
1) Run the program in Java 6; and then
2) Click on a child component in any of the tabs; and then
3) Click on any other tab (or use the mnemonic keys 'ALT + 1' to 'ALT + 4').
At step 3 (upon selecting any other tab), the focus would go to the component below the JTabbedPane first (hence the printed message in the console), before actually going to the selected tab.
This does not occur in Java 7, so I'm assuming it is a bug that is fixed. And I know that Oracle suggests that we should use Java 7 nowadays.
The problem is: We need to stick to Java 6 for a certain application. So I'm looking for a way to fix this issue for all our JTabbedPane components while using Java 6.
So, is there a way to prevent JTabbedPanes from passing the focus to components outside of the tabs during tab traversal (e.g. when users are just switching between tabs), in Java 6?
Note: I've read the release notes between Java 6u45 to Java 7u15, but I was unable to find any changes related to the JTabbedPane component. So any pointers on this would be deeply appreciated.
Regards,
JamesHi Kleopatra,
Thanks for the reply.
Please allow me to clarify first: Actually the problem is not that the child components (inside tabs) get focused before the selected tab. The problem is: the component outside of the tabs gets focused before the selected tab. For example, the JButton in the SSCCE posted above gets focused when users switch between tabs, despite the fact that the JButton is not a child component of the JTabbedPane.
It is important for me to prevent this behavior because it causes a usability issue for forms with 'auto-scrolling' features.
What I mean by 'auto-scrolling' here is: a feature where the form automatically scrolls down to show the current focused component (if the component is not already visible). This is a usability improvement for long forms with scroll bars (which saves the users' effort of manually scrolling down just to see the focused component).
To see this feature in action, please run the SSCCE below, and keep pressing the 'Tab' key (the scroll pane will follow the focused component automatically):
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;

tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 1", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(0, KeyEvent.VK_1);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 2", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(1, KeyEvent.VK_2);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 3", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(2, KeyEvent.VK_3);
tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 4", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(3, KeyEvent.VK_4);

public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
System.err.println("Gained focus (not supposed to when just switching tabs).");
button.addFocusListener(autoScrollFocusHandler);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(panel);
add(scrollPane);
autoScrollFocusHandler.setScrollPane(scrollPane);
private JPanel buildPanelWithChildComponents(int numberOfChildComponents) {
final JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
final String labelPrefix = "Dummy Field ";
final Insets labelInsets = new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5);
final Insets textFieldInsets = new Insets(5, 0, 5, 0);
final GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
JTextField textField;
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfChildComponents; i++) {
gridBagConstraints.insets = labelInsets;
gridBagConstraints.gridx = 1;
gridBagConstraints.gridy = i;
panel.add(new JLabel(labelPrefix + (i + 1)), gridBagConstraints);
gridBagConstraints.insets = textFieldInsets;
gridBagConstraints.gridx = 2;
textField = new JTextField(22);
panel.add(textField, gridBagConstraints);
textField.addFocusListener(autoScrollFocusHandler);
return panel;
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test for Java 6 with auto-scrolling");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new TabbedPaneAutoScrollTest());
frame.setSize(400, 300);
frame.setVisible(true);
* Crude but simple example for auto-scrolling to focused components.
* Note: We don't actually use FocusListeners for this feature,
* but this is short enough to demonstrate how it behaves.
class AutoScrollFocusHandler extends FocusAdapter {
private JViewport viewport;
private JComponent view;
public void setScrollPane(JScrollPane scrollPane) {
viewport = scrollPane.getViewport();
view = (JComponent) viewport.getView();
@Override
public void focusGained(FocusEvent event) {
Component component = (Component) event.getSource();
view.scrollRectToVisible(SwingUtilities.convertRectangle(component.getParent(),
component.getBounds(), view));
Now, while the focus is still within the tab contents, try to switch to any other tab (e.g. by clicking on the tab headers, or by using the mnemonic keys 'ALT + 1' to 'ALT + 4')...
... then you'll notice the following usability issue:
1) JRE 1.6 causes the focus to transfer to the JButton (which is outside of the tabs entirely) first; then
2) In response to the JButton gaining focus, the 'auto-scrolling' feature scrolls down to the bottom of the form, to show the JButton. At this point, the tab headers are hidden from view since there are many child components; then
3) JRE 1.6 transfers the focus to the tab contents; then
4) The 'auto-scrolling' feature scrolls up to the selected tab's contents, but the tab header itself is still hidden from view (as a side effect of the behavior above); then
5) Users are forced to manually scroll up to see the tab headers whenever they are just switching between tabs.
In short, the tab headers will be hidden when users switch tabs, due to the Java 6 behavior posted above.
That is why it is important for me to prevent the behavior in my first post above (so that it won't cause usability issues when we apply the 'auto-scrolling' feature to our forms).

If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this. -
How do I keep my emails in Apple mail after they have been downloaded from exchange server
Hi
I have an urgent issue with my work email. I have used Apple Mail to read and store my work email right off my work Exchange server - without any problem.
All was fine, and for what seems a very long time, I happily used both my win 7 laptop at work and my 2 Apple computers at home and during travel as well as my iPhone - anywhere.
However, now, there is a new policy at work where all email older than 3 months (sigh!!) has been removed to an "online archive" of the "emc SourceOne" - which is a non-crossplattform service - and not accessible from other than a windows PC with supported browser (not including SafarI). (Windows revenge) I have lost all access to these on my iPhone, which is a shame - not Apples fault, though. This is not about blaming Apple.
However, I still have all my "older than 3 months" email in theory safely kept on both of my Apple computers - presumably safely stored in Apple Mail.
Here is my question: I have not dared to connect either of these imacs / mbas to Internet - at all - in fear of losing my precoius work emails. I have feared that the exchange server will kill all these "older than 3 months" email kept there - as soon as it gets a chance to do so.
So I urgently need an educated advise. Googling any kind of "apple" questions seems to be far less productive now than a few years ago...
1. Can I safely connect Apple Mail to internet without losing my already downloaded exchange emails?
2. If not - how should I proeceed to get these files safely transferred to my iCloud email?
Any and all help will be deeply appreciated!
Best regards, from a chilly evening in Oslo, Norway
VidarWhen you connect your Mac back up to the Exchange server, it will “sync” what is on the server to your Mac, losing all those older emails. Don’t reconnect until you have moved them.
To move them, Drag them from the Exchange folders on Mail and into an iCloud folder. The emails will then be stored on iCloud instead of on the exchange server.
You could also just create mailboxes on your Mac and drag them into that. They wouldn’t be accessible to other devices, but you’d have them on your Mac.
To create new Mailboxes, Click the Add ( + ) button at the bottom of the Mailbox list and choose New Mailbox…
You can choose where that folder is stored, either under On My Mac for a local mailbox, or in your iCloud account which will make a folder on the iCloud server.
In the future, you need to start moving your emails to those independent mailboxes as you file them, and set up a rule that will move anything older than 50 days into a “catch-all” Mailbox you create on that same location (either On My Mac or iCloud). Mail Preferences, Rules. -
HT4528 How do I recover pictures after they have been deleted from iPhone 5???
These are pictures that have been deleted the same day that they were taken!!!! And I didn't have a chance to back them up on iTunes or the iCloud.
You can solve this problem by this method.
You may need a third party easy iPhone pictures recovery tool to recover your pictures.

This tool can help you to recover the lost pictures directly from your iPhone. Please have a try.
If it works, try to pay for it to get the full recovery feature. -
I am having trouble with my voice mail on the iPhone. The voicemails are not appearing until 3 even 4 weeks after they are left by a caller. Last night 10 voice messages came through all at once, one left before Thanksgiving. Is this an iPhone issue or an issue with the carrier?
I'm having the same issue. It began three or four days ago. I'd notice that I'd miss a call but the person wouldn't leave a message.
Two days later, suddenly three or four new voicemails will pop up from the past couple of days. The time stamp on the messages is correct-- it will show that the caller left the vmail a day or two before.
Also, in what has to be a related problem, some of the voicemails appear to be corrupted and cannot be played.
I have a 4s and my software is up-to-date. I have made no material changes to my phone, other than automatic software updates to explain this.
It's enormously frustrating and as a job seeker, I can't afford to miss voicemails. Does anyone know if this is the phone or the carrier (AT&T)?
Any help and input will be enormously appreciated.
