How to prevent partition from formating

Recently I have a crash with my laptop and was able to recover to factory setting by pressing the 0 and power button together. Unfortunately my D drive partition was gone. I created the D drive partition from using the shrink volume from my C drive. Its there a way, if I ever have to do recovery and want the D drive untouched?

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
I have two tables: table A and table B.
Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
There is an index on this column in table A.
So I instead of
where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
When I use the join in a select statement it works.
But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
Any ideas why this happens?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Regards Hartmut

I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
In SQL*Plus:
SET LINESIZE 130
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

Hey there.
I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
Thanks for your help

How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

Hello guys
I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
Please advise
Thank you

Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components?

Hello group,
We have customized a form that pops up when user enters a parent item (of a template-type BOM) in the quotation grid. The form displays the component items and lets the user mark which items to "paste" onto the quotation. However, B1 automatically populates the grid with the component items once focus moves away from the item code column.
<b>How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components <i>while</i> retaining the parent item in the item code column?</b> I've tried trapping the Validate event, etc. with no success.

Instead of setting the parent item up as a template type BOM, you could set up the list of parent/child items on a user table and use this user table to display the items in your pop-up screen. As the parent item would no longer be a template BOM, Business One would no longer automatically popuplate the grid, and you could write your own code to add only the items selected in your pop-up screen into the grid.

How 2 prevent time from changing on leopard and vista?

if i maintain successive boots into the same OS on my macbook, the time is shown correctly, whereas on booting into another OS changes the time. how to prevent this from happening?
Neerav

From what my brother says says about his set-up (he boots into 64 bit Vista periodically), apparently you can't. My understanding is that the two systems do a different version of time at boot, Vista uses a GMT setting in bios, and I think Mac use a local time in EFI. Anyway, the result is several hours difference between the two. I don't use Boot Camp, but I would think if you are on a network with Internet access, you should be able to have the clock reset automatically using System Prefs->Date and Time, and check the box at the top to automatically set the time from the Apple time server.

How to prevent computer from sleeping when downloading Lion from the recovery partition?

Hello,
I just got a new MacBook Pro that came with Lion. I'm reinstalling from the recovery partition and I'm on the downloading additional components stage. It has 3 hours to go and the computer keeps going to sleep. How can I prevent this? I don't want to have to babysit the computer for 3 more hours.
Thanks.

Looking for an answer to this question now. Did you find one? I'm about an hour into a 6+ hour reinstall of Mountain Lion from the Recovery partition on my MacBook Pro. So I can't change the sleep corners or caffenate it or do much of anything but wait. I want to go to bed and let it install overnight, but I assume it will go to sleep, and that will kill the download. It there any way to prevent it from sleeping now?
Even trying to think of something I can put on the trackpad to trick it into thinking I'm touching it.
Maybe ill put it under my dog, and her movements will keep it awake? Thinking outside the box here.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

FF connects to several IP addresses on start-up, how to prevent it from happening?

Hi, I am wondering how I can turn Firefox off from connecting to several IP addresses when it starts up?
I have set Firefox to remember my visited web pages/tabs, but to not load until the tab is chosen.
I have also gone through the advices on the following page:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-automatically-making-connections
and have followed it carefully and disabled everything but to no avail.
Also in the about:config I have renamed all Google http(s) links to see if it prevents FF from connecting as some of the IP addresses leads to Google (173.194.32.*), but no success.
A search here on Mozilla or Google gives very little on this particular matter.
I have also disabled all addons but doesn't help.
The only way to prevent FF from connecting with internet is to delete "prefs.js" and "sessionstore.js", but then I loose all history.
I have also used a clean FF installation and taken the "prefs.js" and "sessionstore.js" so to not loose history, but it doesn't help.
Can anyone help me out, thanks!

Ok, I have now installed an original version of Firefox 13.0.1, set it up with a basic set of few add-ons for safe browsing being as follow:
* NoScript
* RequestPolicy
* BetterPrivacy
* HTTPS Everywhere
In all cases described below, I browsed to a few pages, afterwards I go to an empty page/tab (about:newtab) before I close the browser, and is set to: "browser.newtabpage.enabled;false" in the hope also a newtab should be empty.
I also followed the instructions under the following link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-automatically-making-connections
* further on I have disabled a few other things under about:config to stop this "leak", such as webGL, telemetry, rename all google links, etc.
1st test
* I did restart in Off-line mode as described under the link given by jscher2000, when restarting the firewall shows no sign of connection to the internet, not even when I toggle from off-line to on-line.
2nd test
* with all add-ons enabled, I got the following result, see below for the list of IP numbers/info:
* 212.121.101.7 Server Location: Netherlands ISP: Routit BV
* 173.194.32.0 Server Location: Mountain View, CA in United States ISP: Google
* 173.194.32.4 Server Location: Mountain View, CA in United States ISP: Google
* 95.100.4.61 Server Location: Europe ISP: Akamai International B.V.
* 192.150.19.49 Server Location: San Jose, CA in United States ISP: Adobe Systems
* 78.129.207.59 Server Location: United Kingdom ISP: Iomart Hosting Limited
* 69.50.232.54 Server Location: San Jose, CA in United States ISP: Silicon Valley Web Hosting
* 82.103.140.42 Server Location: Denmark ISP: EasySpeedy ApS
3rd test
* I disabled all add-ons and closed browser, and started again, same result as in 2nd test, except that 212.121.101.7 was replaced by
* 37.0.87.7 Server Location: Netherlands ISP: Routit BV .
As this behavior has apparently nothing to do whether it's portable or non-portable version of Firefox, one can assume it has always been like this as at least between all versions from 13.0.1 to 19.0.2, as the portable version 19.0.2 behaves the same way.
Let us not forget another user have experienced apparently the same issue under the following link: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930187
Any more ideas how the browser user can take control over this behavior, or any suggestions what could be wrong?

How to prevent users from creating transactional problems?

Dear Sirs...
Using JDeveloper 10.1.2 and ADF UIX technology. If i created a web application that contains many pages. Assume the application contains pages A,B,C,D.
The end user should access the pages A then B then C then D to get the transaction executed and commited correctly.
the problem is:
1- if a user navigates from A to B to C then he press the Back button to A then he commits the transaction, the data would be stored in correctly.
2- if page C requires some preparations in page B (initalization of session variables) and the user enters page A then he changes the URL to C, then this would cause inproper execution of application and so the data would be stored incorrectly.
so how can i prevent the user from pressing the back button of the browser (which i do not think is possible) or how can i prevent him from making any errors by inproper page navigation?
thanks for any help in advance and best regards

I really don't know if this is the correct way of doing it, but we prevent navigation directly to any page within our application if the HTTP Referer header is null. If it's null, we redirect to a page that says the user should use the navigation buttons provided and not enter the page via bookmarks, history, or direct navigation via a typed in URL.

How to prevent Firefox from playing any kind of video in the browser instead of promting a download dialog

When i klick on a link for a video files (for example a .wmv File) it opens a new tab and starts playing it, instead of giving me a dialog what it should do with the File so that i can either download it or play it with an external player. I already set all the video files in the "options -> Applications" screen to "Always ask", but instead of asking me, it's simply playing them.
What can i do to prevent firefox from playing videos?

Tahnks, but that doesn't help me at all. As i said, i already changed all to "Always Ask", when i Filter for media i get 5 results where each says "Always Ask", so thats not the cause...
I realized yesterday that this does not happen with all formats, it happens with wmv but not with avi... but still dont know y -.-

How to prevent users from saving and emailing intranet documents externally

Someone in our company needs to upload a pdf to our sharepoint intranet site for internal-only use. How can I prevent users from downloading it and emailing it externally?
I mean, a user could screenshot it I guess, but I need to give management a due diligence answer.

You would need to look into a reverse proxy/firewall that had the ability to block access based on content. This isn't something you can accomplish out of the box with SharePoint (even with AD RMS).

Digital Signatures - how to prevent anyone from using my name

I've created a bunch of forms that have digital signatures enabled. When I've created one either with the PKCS or the Windows Certificate, what's to prevent anyone else from just typing my name, email address and Company Name? Yes, I can create one and save it with a password, but anyone can do that. I'm confused how I can ask our users to use digital signatures on internal documents, then have them email to accounting or HR, yet there's nothing to prevent anyone from using anyone else's name (ie how can I prove that it wasn't me that signed it)?
Is there nothing that's tied to Windows ie I can't use my login ID on our domain unless I use my network password? That's really the ONLY way I can prove I'm me.

Self-signed digital signatures are precisely that - the person creating them is the only one attesting to the contents, so you can make a perfectly-valid self-signed ID for Canta Claus of you want to. The critical thing to remember is that a self-signed ID will only validate if the recipient has your keyfile to compare it to. On your own machine it will show as valid because the key is present, but if you send the PDF to anyone else it will show as invalid unless you have separately transferred them a copy of your keyfile. It's that second file which tells them the ID is really yours, as they can physically check where it came from (e.g. by phoning you up). The recipient would then have to manually add the keyfile to the trusted list in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and finally your PDF signature will get the green tick.
Self-signed IDs are find for internal company workflows as everyone can share their keyfiles, and the IT department can manage what's going on. If you're using digital IDs in a public setting you should never use self-signed certificates, instead you should purchase an ID from a Certificate Authority - a company whose IDs are tied to the 'root certificates' embedded in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. The CA will require proof of identity before selling you the cert, and so anyone can verify it's genuine without needing to contact you. CAS-issued certs for signing PDF files are not cheap, there are several vendors out there and I won't comment on which may be better.

How to prevent user from selecting a specific printer?

Hi there
I have a MailFolder which has an ArrayList of Email objects inside it. Each MailFolder has an attribute called folderFile which is a reference to a folder in the operating system. Each Email has an attribute called parentFile which is a reference to a file in the operating system.
Now, I am trying to put printing into my application.
When I print using a normal printer like my HP Deskjet or the likes - an actual physical printer - everything works fine. But when I print using the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer, things go wierd. The following things happen;
I call myMailFolder.getFolderFile().exists() and this = false. But if I (in the debugger) make a new file pointing to the same path, .exists() = true. Also if I look in the OS, the file exists. So somehow in the job.print() this Document Image writer seems to be messing up this file reference. The same thing happens to the myEmail.getParentFile().
So to fix this, can anyone tell me how to prevent the user from selecting this printer, or can anyone tell me why this is happening only with the Document Image Writer?
Many thanks!
Rachel

I have similar problem with our printing program. I am printing Java Tables, zoom in every column in a landscape page accross multiple pages.
There are two fatal problems:
1. On Dell Latitude laptop, the HP5100 printer didn't work; I have to change the code to draw the table header with 2D graphics.
2. Crash when printing on MS document image writer, but on some computers
it works perfectly.
Any one have a good solution/same result for topic 2?
Thanks,
