How does "New Window Containing Selection" under "Services" work in Snow Leopard?
Hello all,
In OSX 10.5.8 creating simple clickable server paths was a cinch via Services > TextEdit > New Window Containing Selection [please see reference images]. However, in Snow Leopard this option is a grand mystery. Our online searches have been surprisingly unsuccessful.
I realize Services is now customizable in Snow Leopard, which is great. However, when creating paths from the Snow Leopard system the only choice is to launch Mac Mail with an attachment (when highlighting a file to create a path). Since we don't use Mac Mail, is there an option to switch the default Mac Mail to Entourage? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Same for me, this is a very annoying bug! I often open Audio MIDI setup to remind myself of my various MIDI connections, and untangling the mess that is displayed is a big waste of time! C'mon Apple - just get the application to honor the X and Y coordinates that are stored in the config (.mcfg) file!!

How do I get hp 4000 laserjet to work in snow leopard
How do I get an HP Laserjet 4000 to work in Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 ?
Supposedly it is not compatible, but maybe there is "workaround" For instance some sort of Universal Print Driver like HP has for this printer for Windows 7 problems.
ThanksHP? Donno. Start at www.hp.com.
FWIW, HP likely retired those printers many years ago; the follow-on LaserJet 4200 and LaserJet 4300 series I've been working with are probably seven or eight years old now, and your LaserJet 4000 models are yet older.
According to Wikipedia, the LaserJet 4000 and LaserJet 4050 series was discontinued in 1999. (When or if the support for that printer has ended, I don't know. That's a question for HP.)
If you're familiar with networking and have a wired network available (and most WiFi devices have that option available), then I'd get the JetDirect path going; that's vastly easier to manage and maintain than is dealing with any other path into those printers.
Assign the JetDirect a static IP address outside the pool of addresses the local DHCP server is using, and configure a network printer at that address.
On the LaserJet 4200n and 4300n series, those provide Bonjour announcements, which means they're really easy to configure; OS X finds those automatically. And those are web-managed, meaning you can connect to the printer via Safari, and check its status and supplies. (I don't know if the LaserJet 4000 series offers that; that's older than I've worked with recently.)
HP does (did) have a universal driver for OS X, though they've probably not modified the drivers for those printers in years. (A Google search for /HP LaserJet 4000 Series Full Solution Driver Mac/ does find a set of drivers of some ilk for OS X 10.6.)
The LaserJet 4000 is old enough that the generic Postscript driver in the Apple CUPS package in OS X will probably work fine, too. -
Can't open new windows in Safari 5.1.2 for Snow Leopard
I have downloaded the 10.6.8 combo update and of course installed the new version of Safari. Now I cannot open a new window (whether it is a link or if I do apple-n on the keyboard). I must be missing something here that must be very simple to fix this, but I have tried everything. I might have to find an old link to a 5.1.1 site and download that version again (it was working fine before I downloaded the new version)
Any help would be appreciated! THANKS!Try emptying the cache and resetting Safari.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Try a new window.
If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset. Try again.
If that didn't help, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari / Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.
Try again.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder. -
Frightened: is the new Muse Update (Nov.) still working on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 exactly like before?
I'm truly afraid about my months of work, I have to start from the beginning - because any little changings which is shifted in Moevement or works differently than before.
Over all my most fear is to need to uprade my mac from 10.6.8 up to 10.7 or 10.8 But i can't i spend a lot of money for lot of music stuff i need to work with, which is not working with 10.7
i tried to find information about at adobe but somehow they makes me uncertain at all
Do you have any experiece with the new Muse update and how it's working?
unfortunately I have no time to test yourself and start all over again
Thank you for any information ;-)I assume you have working installer discs? If so here's a suggestion:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc. Insert the disc into the
optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the
"C" key. Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current. -
Today FF 5.0 was DL-d and installed (automatic update is/was active). Help->About-> shows version 5.0, and there were no problems with the install.
I have ASUS G72 running W7 with the latest MS updates via auto-update.
FF is pinned to the task bar.
Previous version(s) allowed for opening new windows and tabs by right click of FF icon on task bar, and selecting "Mozilla FireFox" (which opened new window) , or selecting "Open New Window." Opening a new tab in the current session could be done by selecting "Open New Tab."
These features do not operate in the latest version (5.0), or have I fumbled the ball (by not having something set right in this version.
Thanks in advance for you help. Keep up the great work.
;>If you have tabs on top and no menu then the tabs are in a "Windows" area so there is no space to right. If you put tabs back to the bottom you will have most of your old behavior but because of the changes to tabs on top most of the tab context menu stuff all of the context menu part was lost except the customize toolbar stuff, double-clicking on an empty spot was restored, and eventually during the FF 4 beta most of the tab extensions Firefox messed up eventually worked again except in the area to the right of the tabs.
The Windows part of that double-click has to maximize or restore to normal,
and you have to be able to drag the window by it;'s title bar.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)] -
How does new Label Management feature works in Aruba Central?
Q: How does new Label Management feature works in Aruba Central?
A: Central provides a standard web-based interface that allows you to configure and monitor multiple Aruba Wi-Fi networks.
With as many as devices that central could manage, searching a specific device or set of devices becomes difficult. This is where "Label management" feature of Aruba Central helps out.

In the left-menu, under "Maintenance" select "Label Management"
Click on "Create Label" button and create as many labels you require as per the environment and ease of use.for rating . you need to enable rating from List options and choose if it's going to be 5 star or like
to add like button to each page in a publishing site you can use the below script
function LikePage() {
var aContextObject = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
EnsureScriptFunc('reputation.js', 'Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.Reputation', function () {
Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.
Reputation.setLike(aContextObject, _spPageContextInfo.pageListId, _spPageContextInfo.pageItemId;, true);
aContextObject.executeQueryAsync(
function () {
alert('you liked the page'); //here you can update the likes count of the page
}, function (sender, args) {

How does one tell if the J2EE services are running with Unlimited
How does one tell if the J2EE services are running with Unlimited
security? We have applied the export Policy to the server but we do notsee any reference to it running with it. .we apply the Service packs SAP now upgrades that JAVA as well . Do that process treat the JAVA
lib/security area correctly.Just out of curiosity... Is there something you do
like about Mac/Apple?
To answer your question: no, not really. However, the points that I made here were about Safari and accompanying utilities, not about Apple in general.
If it makes you feel any better, I am just as, or even more, critical of Micro$oft as the occasions arise...Windoze Vista is the most recent occasion and has given sufficient reasons and opportunities to vent my spleen that I actually have eased up on Apple, politicians, nut-case religious extremists, cell phone owners, and the Department of Homeland Paranioa, etc., due to an exhaustion of creative energy. -

CSS: How does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) work?
Hello everyone,
I have a question about how does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) work on CSS 11503.
According to the "Using the CSS Scripting Language",
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/css11500series/v7.50/configuration/administration/guide/Scripts.html
it says
Since we just want to see if the DNS server is alive we will send a simple DNS Query. This query is hard coded in hexadecimal and sent raw to the DNS server.
and
Receive some unexplained response. We don't care what it is because an unstable DNS server or a non-existent one would probably not send ! us any data back at all.
but it also says
Failure Upon: 1. Not resolving the host's IP from the domain name
And according to the "How to Configure the CSS to Load Balance DNS Servers and Use the DNS Scripted Keepalives",
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_configuration_example09186a00801d015a.shtml
it says
The script is hard-coded to resolve www.cisco.com. It does not matter if the DNS server can resolve this address or not, as long as a DNS response comes back that the service is alive. This keepalive is only testing if a DNS server can respond to a query, not if it can resolve a specific name. The script queries from the CSS to DNS internal servers keep track of the availability of the DNS servers.
but it also says
Access to Internet Domain Name System Root Servers is required for successful implementation of DNS scripted keepalives.
So I am confused whether DNS server has to resolve the host's IP address correctly for DNS query received from CSS or just needs to reply any response but not need to resolve it.
I would like to recap about my question.
Q1: Does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) send DNS query with cisco.com as DNS name by default?
Q2: Does DNS server has to resolve IP address of cisco.com or just need to respond for DNS query with any response but not need to resolve IP address of cisco.com?
I understand I should get capture data and see how DNS scripted keepalive works, but I can not prepare lab environment to do it at the present.
Your information would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Shinichiyes the query is for www.cisco.com and the script expect a reponse that contains the word cisco.

FF Less stable than IE. Numerous crashes, the latest quirk is that it will open a new window with a website already working on and NONE of the iterations of FF work. Have to reboot computer because can't even exit FF. Fix it or on to Chrome.
'''''"a new FF iteration"'''''
No such thing. All Firefox windows and tabs run in a single '''firefox.exe''' process, unlike IE which has a separate process for each window, or Chrome which opens a new process for each tab.
As far as the Firefox SafeMode, you can't open it when Firefox is running ''(unless you open a separate Profile purposely)'', if you try all you will get is another window in the "regular mode".
You're not going to be able to discover the cause of your problem if you're unwilling to follow established troubleshooting procedures, regardless of how intermittent the fault occurs. I wouldn't be surprised of you have an add-on installed which is causing that problem.
Another course of action would be to create a new Profile, which is like starting from scratch with a completely new Firefox installation. <br />

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?
Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility. -
