HT3275 How do I find/restore files from items in secure home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?
How do I find/restore files from items in secure (File Vault) home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder? When I go into Time Machine, I see earlier dates but can't see files in my User File. I have File Vault turned on and see my home folder as a sparsebundle. Do I neede to restore this in order to see files in my home folder. When I click on it to restore it gives me an estimated time of over 2 hours. Also tried to restore an Excel file I was working on when computer hung, so lost it without saving or naming it. Does it exist anyplace and can I restore it?
Thanks. I had pretty much figured out from other posts that I had better turn off File Vault for my home folder and use a disk utility sparse bundel for little information I wanted to secure. The information about File Vault 2 in Lion was new and useful though.

how can i deauthorize a computer that crashed and is now in the trash world? i purchased a new laptop and need to authorize my computer
You cannot, nor do you need to, until you reach the limit of 5. Once you reach 5, then you can deauthorize all, and then authorize the active computers.

How do I intercept/catch a JMF-crash when playing unsupported files?
I'm writing an application with a media viewer (JMF2.1.1) in it. For some file formats it works okay, but when playing some of them, I get the 'Unable to handle format' error. Now I can live with that, but the problem is that the entire app just HANGS. No exception is thrown, no option to get rid of the error, nothing.
In my code I have several try/catch blocks, but those are not adressed with these particular crashes.
My question is this: how can I intercept or catch this crash? How can I PRE-detect whether the file format is unsupported and then send a message saying this file is unplayable (thus not starting the player.realize process)?Ok, this is what I have so far. The mediaplayer opens in a separate JDialog window.

How do I get inDesign to quit crashing when I try to open a damaged document?
Alright, I'm in a bit of a pinch and behind on deadline because of something completely random and out of the blue happening with inDesign. Here's what happened:
I was working on a magazine layout and printed out a PDF draft. The draft looked normal. I saved, shut my computer, walked away, and came back 30 minutes later to find that 9 pages had gone almost completely blank - even the locked layers were gone. I checked the layers and they were still locked. I thought my content had gotten erased somehow. Then I looked again and saw an overseer text symbol in the middle of one of the spreads. I clicked it and was able to enlarge it somewhat. Doing this gave me the spinning color wheel of doom (I have a Mac running off of Maverick now), and every little zoom and mouse movement gave this result that lasted about 3 minutes at a time. I tried saving again (got the spinning color wheel of doom), then shut down inDesign, and tried again. Same thing happened, only this time I got an automatic recovery notice when it opened. Everything else looked normal. I noticed that the content that had been squished was actually also at a skewed angle as well, like it had been rotated at some strange 3D plane. The story board would also expand to 10 times the normal size every time I tried to move the skewed, overset content. I shut everything down again and restarted my computer. Only this time, whenever I tried to open the problematic document, it would give me the auto recovery request, then promptly crash when I clicked "Yes" for auto recover. I tried multiple times now to open the document, thinking maybe I could just wipe those pages and start over again, but it crashes every time.
Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. I have no idea how this happened, and now it seems like I'm going to loose the entire document, about 40 hours of work. As far as I know, nobody else was near my computer in the 30 minutes it took me to shut it and open it back up again.
Help!
Can anybody shed some light onto this situation? Honestly, I'd be happy to just be able to open the document again so I can erase those problem pages and re-do them... I took screen shots of what inDesign was doing before it crashed:
Here you can see that the "P" in the upper left is all twisted, the same way my content is:
This is a zoomed-out image of how big the storyboard would become when I tried to tweak that overset text/ content...You can try opening the file "as a copy" from the open dialog. You can also try the blind export to .idml: Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
and there's a tool for Windows you can try, if you have access to a windows machine: INDDRecovery — a program for restoring corrupted InDesign documents
After that, it's a question of how much money you want to throw at it. Markzware.com has a paid recovery service that will probably work. -
How can I write a code that triggers when clicking on Save button
I want to hide certain fields inside my tracking list, if the login user is not part of the “Managers” group.
To do so I want to add the following Page-load code inside a web part :-
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{SPGroup group = site.Groups["Managers"];
bool isUser = site.IsCurrentUserMemberOfGroup(group.ID);
if (isUser)
{textbox.Visible=false;}}
And the following custom code that triggers when saving the form :-
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
SPList list = web.Lists["ListName"];web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPListItem item = list.Items[SPContext.Current.ListItem.UniqueId];
txtTitle.Text = item["Title"] as string;item.Update();web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
But I am not sure where exactly I should add the custom code for the save button ? I tried writing it inside the Oninit method , but I got many errors as shown below:-
So can anyone advice how i should write the web part to include the Page load & the custom save button code?
second question in general is my above approach considered valid , i mean to hide/show list columns using web parts ?Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to hide/show list columns based on specify the permission for Users, SharePoint Groups or Active Directory Groups.
Here is a solution from CodePlex for your reference:
SharePoint 2013 Column & View Permission

I was updating an app on my iPad (seeds pro), and when it was fully updated, I opened it. I tried to use a feature on it, but it said I need push notifications enabled. I was looking around in the notification part of the settings app, and when I go back to the specified app, it still didn't let me use the feature. But the additional thing is that now, when I open a notification for ANY app, or at least open the app, it disappears from the Notification Center. I really need help in fixing this bug or problem or whatever it is.
It didn't work like that before. And I know it wasn't a new feature in the iOS7 update, I've never had my notifications deleted from the Notification Center until a week ago. Before that, I kept my notifications in the Notification Center.

HT3275 How do I convince Time Machine that my last backup IS an restore option.
My local Genius Bar replaced a dead hard drive yesterday. A faithful user of Time Machine, I expected there to be no problem restoring to the new drive. However, when I try to do that, my last two years of backups don't appear as options. Help? I was running Mavericks
That is correct, you haven't been on Mavericks for 2years.. so only since mavericks will appear.
But that should still include whatever was current on the previous hard disk.. that is the idea of TM.. you don't need to plough through 2 years of backups.. just restore and it will restore what was on the disk.
If it is failing badly.. highly possible with Mavericks.. since it seems to completely misbehave with TM..
Mount the sparsebundle and you can manually select items to restore.
See Q15 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Or try doing a restore to alternative location.. Q16. -
I can't adjust my volume from the keyboard volume controls... they seem to be locked. I tried system preferences, but couldn't find how to "unlock" them. Thoughts?
Did you try unchecking this function? It seems to work in reverse of what you would expect, or is that just my imagination?

How do I correct spacing errors that occured when converting a word file to pdf?
I have a microsoft word file that when converted to pdf is changed. If I import it I loose the font style if I upload it I keep the fonts but the spacing on the document is all wrong. Any suggestions?
Hello there,
Thanks for posting; this is an error that we see from time to time, and typically has to do with the document's formatting. Sometimes a font used in the original document is not available on our conversion servers; while we do have a lot of fonts installed on those servers, we don't have every font in the world. A missing font will be substituted and those substitutions can lead to the results you observed. Additionally, image placement, line breaks, and page breaks sometimes change if you save to other formats. Although there's not a specific button to click to fix the problem, you may want to toy with any strange or special spacing that you've used in the document, or substitute a more standard font of your own choosing. Please let me know if you need more help or information!
Best regards,

i want to restore from the auto updates that are made by itunes.
When you synced the iPad today, you overwrote the backup fromlast week. If you would have turned off auto sunc and simply restored from the backup without syncing, you would have bee fine.
In certain situations - such as when you only sync once a week, iTunes creates a new backup for that sync that overwrites the last backup. If it has been a week since you last synced, iTunes reads the latest data on the iPad since the last backup and then creates a new up to date backup. -
How do I control the image that displays when someone shares a page from my website on Facebook?
I have created my website in Muse and it looks awesme. http://getlumen.com I have added Facebook Like/Share buttons to the pages that I'd like people to... 'Like" =] It all works fine, BUT... the image that is displayed after someone Shares or Likes the page, is the background image that I used on the Master design page. No bueno. Even worse, sometimes it's the credit card icons that are displayed on the products pages. Is there a way to "embed" an image into each page that is specific to that page and not an arbitrary iamge from the style guide, without adding it to the look of the page?
Thank you. But just to be clear...
Do I paste this code <meta property="og:image" content="URL to your thumbnail image" /> Before or After the Google analytics code that is curretnly in the header of each page? And the ONLY thing that I change in the above code is the "URL to your thumbnail image" for each page/image- yes?? -

How can I change the homepage that displays when I open Firefox?

Okay, so when I'm using Firefox, say I have multiple window open, I hover my mouse over a window's panel at the bottom of the screen and a small box appears telling me about the webpage on that panel. The same thing occurs when I hover over a tab or a bookmark, it's very annoying and frequently blocks my cursor when I'm trying to work. How can I disable this feature?
I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.
