How to get dateformat from Control Panel? Please help

Hi,
I need to get the date format as per displayed in the Control Panel's Regional Options tab.
May i know how to achieve this in java?
Please help.

Thanks for the feedback, actually my code is like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = (SimpleDateFormat) SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
System.out.println(sdf.toPattern());
If i open up my Control Panel and change the "Standards and Formats" to "English(United States), the "Short date" field is now showing "7/9/2010" which is "M/d/yy". This matches the format obtained using (SimpleDateFormat) SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT). However, it still returns me the format "M/d/yy" after i made the following changes:
1. Click on the "Customize" button to open the "Customize Regional Options" dialog window.
2. Select the "Date" tab, from the "Short Date format" drop-down list, choose "MM/dd/yy"
How can I get the exact date format displayed at Regional Options now, which is "MM/dd/yy"? Please advice.

Photoshop CS6 Not Uninstalling from Control Panel, Please Help?!

Hi, I have recently tried to open Photoshop CS6 and it tells me to Uninstall and Reinstall the programme but I go to the control panel and it doesn't work, Please Help. I work on a Win7 64 bit PC.

Please follow the steps listed in CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
Step 3
Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
You can then close the folder.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

I had the same issue. To resolve it, I:
1. Backed up my bookmarks to my desktop;
2. Deleted the Mozilla Firefox folder (in the C:\Program Files folder).
3. Reinstalled Firefox
4. Uninstalled Firefox (to make sure any registry entries that may have been causing problems were removed)
5. Reinstalled Firefox again
6. Imported bookmarks.
7. OPTIONAL: Reinstall any add-ons I regularly use
I no longer have the problems with slow performance or websites hanging that I had after originally upgrading to Firefox 7.
Obviously if you just want to uninstall, you only need to do steps 2 through 4. I wanted to continue using Firefox and was just trying to resolve the issues I was having browsing the web since upgrading to 7.

How to get coordinates of components. PLEASE HELP ME URGENT!

Hi, I am trying to get the coordinates of my components that are tabbed pane buttons, buttons, text fields etc so I can place an image of a pointer under it that points to it and then under the image of the pointer I would put a label describing the button for example "press the tab to start". Then when I press tab1 the image of pointer image points to the next component and has a label under pointer.
Now I have tried using componenet.getX() and getY() and then set the values of the the image panel to use then the label panel so they be placed under the component, these panels are not using layout manager but absolute positioning. If the window is resized then the labels and image of pointer should also adjust. I have tried putting the label and arrow into a glasspane and now layerdpane as some people here suggested which when I do then add it to contentpane the main panel with the components is not there but the layerd pane is.
I am having huge difficulties with this and if someone can Please just tell me or even better give me an example code how to find out the coordinates of components so I can place my image of pointers and labels underneath them I will be very grateful of you. I am on a verge of giving up accomplish what I am doing and I am new to the swing framework. My progress to solve this has been very slow and frustrating. I just hope someone here can help.

I tried the both of codes given. But the code given by both the person i have not understand. And what they there code is doing. This is the code form my side if this example help u.

Somehow i have got mackeeper and the smartsearchnet on mac air. I do not know how to get rid of it! please help me

I have got mackeeper and smart search.net on my Mac air. I am new to mac's so i am so lost in how to get rid of things. Im not sure how i got it but i just want it gone now mac book is only a couple months old so running all latest programmes on it. Can anyone help me please?

You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

XPath - how to get non exist nodes? please help!

Hi!
There is a so xml structure:

When I want to get the 'node_a_2' nodes by XPath, I get a List, which consists of 2 element.
But I want to get a so list, which consists of 3 elements, the first is null and the others are the elements of 'node_a_2' node!
This is the code:

org.jaxen.XPath P = new org.jaxen.jdom.JDOMXPath("/"+Path.replace(".","/"));
List Back = P.selectNodes(ArrivedXML.getRootElement());
return Back;
Please help, how can i do it!
Thank You very much!

Any file I open, along with the color swatches and sampler, in PS has a warm white color where it is supposed to be white. I don't now how this happened and I have no idea how to get the whites back. Please help, thanks, P

as I stated. the white in any file I open in PS s a warm white. I don't know how this happened or how to fix it. I do know it is not my PC or moniter. Only in PS. any hepl is appriciated, thanks, P

My5cats, Cris may have more to add but here are some thoughts. A calibrated monitor does have warm whites. We perceive a blue white as being correct but it isn't. i don't know if you are using monitor calibration or not. One possible area is that Photoshop is set to a paper or some other gamut. You can check (in PS) by going to the Edit menu > Color settings. Here is a picture of mine. I set the working space to sRGB which is used for the web and many printers. If you get a correct setting , consider saving it.

How can I remove parental controls? PLEASE HELP!

I just got my Mac-Mini, and sometimes when I want to do something on it, A screen with 'parental controls' pops up, and I have to enter a password, which I don't know. I've asked my parents if they did this, but they didn't! And after an hour, my Mac says: Your time is over, to add an extra hour, enter your password. How can I remove it? It's very annoying because I can't even go to Facebook, or Youtube.

The parents, if the mini were ever used officially by them and had any software
installed, bought music, updated the system, etc, would've used their Apple ID.
So, if through legitimate sources and correctly set-up, or if bought used and set
up with the new owner's information, installed new OS X, and etc, it would have
an Admin account or be accessible by the owner's Apple ID.
Before using suggested links to change an unknown Admin access password,
be sure to check, because if this unit has seen any software update, iTunes,
App Store or Mac App Store access, someone has an account and it may be
that would alter how the computer was used by them, if you change it now.
Also, to update or upgrade System software, and most online store access, does
require a valid payment card to be entered. If the parents are a party to this use,
then seems to reason, they should be in on what to change the new password to.
Good luck & happy computing!
