HT3910 How to keep certain applications when wiping iMac?

I'm about to reinstall Snow Leopard onto my iMac and then upgragde to Lion but I don't want to lose purchased apps.
I have Logic Studio 9 and I understand you can use it on only 2 computers. Will re-installing it count as a seperate intallation on another computer or can I just log into my apple account and verify it that way. This is the case with Microsoft Offic 2007. This can only be used on three seperate computers and I don't want the re-installation to count.
Is there a way of returning to factory defaults but keeping selected apps?
Any help would be much appreciated

Yes.

Not for installer type apps or copy protected programs, only "drag and drop" self contained and "free of copy protection" apps then they have of course be copied off the soon to be erased volume just like users files.
For Logic and other copy protected programs, get a copy of the license key and talk to the developer(s) you can reinstall on the same machine again from the original source without burning one of your allotments.
What the developer will likey do is issue another license key and record it so it's verification when it "phones home"
All they want to do is make sure your not using it more that it's allotment.

How to disable autostart (application) when managed server restart ?

Hi Ppl,
How to disable autostart (application) when managed server restart ?
I want some of the applications to remain not started. In WebSPhere, we have an option disable auto start for applications.
I don't find in weblogic.
Thanks

Hi,
I agree with Faisal. When you shutdown your WL server while the application is running, the thing is when you start your server again, it would automatically start the application with it. Now if the application was down when you shutdown the server, it _the application_ won't start with the server.
So it depends on the application last state, when you start your server.

How to keep new applications on top within windows 8.1 desktop

In previous Window versions when one opened applications such as word, excel or browser or snipping tool these applications stayed on top.
However, in windows 8.1 now when ne application is openned, one needs to minize other applications before starting to use it. This is very non productive use of time and prevents swtiching between dpendent application, open version of documents, and
images.
Please provide suggestions how to configure the system to enable latest application on top.
Thank you.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, you can keep new applications on top of all other windows on your desktop, even while you're working in other programs.
I would like to suggest you restoring healthy by using this command: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth first.
Meanwhile, please ask on the following forum. This is where the Windows 8.1 experts answer questions.

How to keep both file when paste

hi to every one
I would like to know how to keep both files have the same name when I copy one of them to the other folder , since I have tow options only : replace or skip !!!!!!!!!! in windows 8

I suspect that that's how it is supposed to be, Cyber_Defend_Team. However, I can confirm that in Windows 8.1, when I attempt to Copy and Paste files, like from my camera's SD card which starts it's numbering system at 0 each time, to my photo folder,
I only have the following options:
Replace the file in the destination
Skip this file
Compare info for both files
Now, when I choose the Compare info for both files option, I get a secondary dialogue which shows me a thumbnail of both pictures and has a checkbox for each one in two columns (there is also a checkbox at the top of each column for multiple photos to select
all in a given column). I'm given only two buttons on this screen, Continue and Cancel.
As such, Lany Zhang, I don't think that this question can be considered answered as it isn't.

How to keep photo order when opening default photo app?

First it concerns the default photo App: I have created an Album based on recent photos imported from the cloud, there are 125 photos in them, for some reason they are in the wrong order, i.e. by date. I know how to rearrange one photo at a time, but it's painfully slow to go through all 100s of them.
Second, there is the iPhoto App: I downloaded iPhoto app from the iWork suite, that came free for me, it gave me an option to sort photos by date, hooray!
BUT!! when I close iPhoto and reopen the default photo app, the photos were no longer sorted, it was the same order before the sort!
My question is, how on earth do I sort an album in iPhoto and to keep that order when I open the album through the default photo app or indeed any other app that uses the iOS albums such as facebook etc?

As far as i know, you can't, when using iphoto, the sort is only for iphoto, apps on ios do not have access to one anothers data, ever, you can transfer a file from one app to another app that supports the file format but then you have two independent copies of that file.

How to keep the highlight when the JTextComponent lose focus?

I wanted to do some basic copy/cut/paste on the JTextPane from the Menu. But when I selected the menu, the highlight disappeared. How do keep the highlight?
The only topic I found about this was here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=214931
but it appeared intimidating and not exactly what I needed.

Most javax objects will accept things in <html> tags why don't you try setting them onto the JTextPane (never tried this btw but should be worth a try) using html and the transferring the same syntax to the output email

Xmonad: How to display certain applications on all workspaces?

In xmonad I would like to make all windows of certain applications (primarily notification windows) to float on all workspaces. I looked into "copyToAll" but got lost.
Any help appreciated!

When a notification pops up the moment I am switching workspaces, I will not see it. If the notification displayed on all workspaces, I would be able to see it and close it on any workspace.

How to keep an application level object running with SunIDM?

We are working on intergrate a gmail project with SunIDM. We need an application level object running with SunIDM so it will maintain a token generated from Gmail side. In anther servlet project, I had this object saved in the attribute of the ServletContext, then other session level servlet could share this attribute anytime. Is there a way to store attribute in Servlet Context and have it shared by different user session in SunIDM? I have been reading documents and searched this forum, haven't find any topics related how to maintain an application level object live. Hopefully that I can get some hint here.
Thank you so much.

Paul, Thank you so much for the further explaination. I don't think it will work since the token generated from gmail will expire every 24 hours.
We are using the gdata library published from by gmail people, and I create a new UserService object and have it run in the application level. The UserService object will generate a token and renew it every 24 hours behind the scene. Here is how I implement it in my Servlet project:
//to have a UserService object running at the application level:
public class GmailUserService extends HttpServlet {
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException{
super.init();
userService = new UserService(myApplication);
config.getServletContext().setAttribute("gmailUserService", userService);
//to access this UserService object from other servlet in each user session:
UserService userService = (UserService)servletContext.getAttribute("gmailUserService");
Gmail will trigger an error if we create a new UserService object for each user. They recommend to have all the user to share one UserService object. I am looking for similar approach in SunIDM.
Thank you again, Paul, for trying to help.

How to keep certain videos from automaically being visible in itunes?

I just installed OS X Tiger and my 10 year old son discovered the itunes button in the dock. To my horror - it had automatically loaded adult videos from my personal folder that he could see. How can I keep these videos out of itunes while keeping the appropriate ones in view?

Delete them from the library, but when the application asks if you want to "Move files to the Trash", tell it no. Then manually move them to a safer location.

How to keep multiple applications open in one screen?

I'd like to have several applications open at the same time, for example iTunes, Safari and Mail. But when I start a new program the one I was working in disappears from the screen.... How can I keep them resized on the screen....? Thanks for your help...

When you start a new program, do the others disappear into the background (i.e. minimize)
If so, you have somehow gotten the system into Single-app mode. This reacts as if you held down the option key when starting the new app.
You can check to see what is set with this commanddefaults read com.apple.dock single-appIf you get "The domain/default pair of (com.apple.dock, single-app) does not exist" then something else is wrong, but I don't know what it is.
If you get a 1 returned (or yes or true), then you can disable it with this:defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app
or
defaults write com.apple.dock single-app 0

How to keep Korean fonts when converting .pages file to .epub file

Hi, I am also asking about embedding Korean fonts other than English when converting .pages file to .epub file.
I really like to use application for Mac in order to make certain file format for e-books though there seems to be some problem that should be improved.
Please answer to my question and help me to find the best way to make .epub file with Mac.
37Fides

You should have no problem keeping your text in Korean when you convert to .epub from .pages. Are you saying that the Korean is converted to something else? Please provide more details about what is not working the way you want.
Pages can't embed fonts, you would have to use another app. But there is no need to embed fonts to create Korean books.

How do keep certain active items from appearing in the dock?

I have a few things set as startup items (a backup utility, StickyNotes, a temperature monitor, etc.). I want these things to run, but I don't want them taking up space in my dock because once they're running, I never need to click on their dock icons. It just makes my dock harder to see. This is probably a simple question, but how do I keep them active but prevent them from taking up room in the dock? Thanks!
Mike

From what I understand, all that "Dockless" does is set 'LSUIElement' (or maybe 'NSUIElement') to "1" in the target app's "Info.plist" file. The manual way works for me for "Stickies.app" in 10.3.9, so it should work with "Dockless" as well. And it appears that the keyboard shortcuts for "Quit" or "New Note" remain active despite the absence of the application specific menubar so it might even remain functional.
When making changes to the "Info.plist" file, it is often necessary to go through extra steps to make "Launch Services" aware of the change. As mentioned above, duplicating the app might be one method - often after duplication of the app, the changes will be found to be in effect for the new copy but not necessarily for the original. Sometimes opening up the application package, navigating through "Contents" > "MacOS" and double-clicking on the unix executable file will cause the change to take effect without duplicating the app. One method that usually works well is running 'lsregister' from the command line, but usually that is not necessary. If (and only if) the modified "Stickies.app" has replaced the original in the default location, the relevant command (entered using "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app") would be:<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco'; overflow:auto; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:500px">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/ A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -f -v /Applications/Stickies.app</pre>If a copy has been modified, just substitute the appropriate path to the modified version of the app...

How to keep User Order when exporting a collection?

I made a collection of about 300 VC's, chosen from many folders in my catalogue. These images were taken over a 10 year period, using 3 different cameras and having different names and file types. The collection was sorted by "User Order". I spent a good deal of time organizing the collection so that the images made visual sense when shown as a slide show on a digital album.
I exported the collection to my hard drive as jpegs, and checked the box to place them back in my catalogue, in a designated subfolder within my parent folder. All went well except they are now completely out of order, and that order makes no logical sense whatsoever - not by date, metadata, filename, attributes, nothing that I can figure out. I have to start all over again to reorder them - something that will take several hours.
What did I do wrong? How can I keep my designated user order when I export a collection?
I am using LR 4.3.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi Rene,
Lightroom does not maintain user order upon exporting. It would make no sense when not exporting back to catalog, but when exporting back to catalog I can see that it may be desirable - consider making a feature request (Idea) here:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new
In the mean time, I *think* what most people do to assure export ordering is to name the files according to desired order, then sort by filename. I could be wrong about that, but that's all I got.
Beware: If said approach is adopted, one would not be able to do incremental exports and maintain such ordering (e.g. when single image added to publish service), so all files would need to be re-exported if such change was made.
I have requested access to sort order and added-order via plugin for plugin-assisted remedy, but so far no go.
Another idea (which may not be acceptable) is to use capture-time to maintain sort order of exported photos (via a plugin like Exportant), then it would be easy enough to maintain user order by manipulating capture time (of exported photos I mean, post-export), but then you'd lose the true capture-time, granted: capture time could be put into some other field, but that might foul things up downstream... hmm - sorry for rambling/brain-storming out loud.
Maybe somebody else has a better idea.

How to keep superscript format when generating a table of contents

Hi,
I have a superscript ® in a title in a document that needs to be brought in the Table of contents. When I do generate the TOC, I cannot keep the superscript format in the TOC.
I could cheat and replace it manually, but there has to be a way it stays with those properties every time I regenerate the TOC.
Any idea how?
Regards.

re: I am trying to find the natively-superscripted Unicode R character and cannot find how to create it.
There doesn't appear to be one.
There is one for lowercase r: \u02B3
