HT5343 Why is killing mDNSResponder the recommended method of clearing your DNS cache in 10.7+?

mDNSResponder is also in control of Bonjour advertisement and unicast DNS resolution. So killing mDNSResponder is a good way to clear your cache in the same way that throwing your computer out a window is a good way to turn it off.
Why not continue to use "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache" like we always have? It still even works in 10.7+.

As Linc indicated, the command recommended by Apple is:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
This restarts the process; it doesn't kill it. In 10.7 and 10.8 the mDNSResponder daemon caches DNS query results, so even if you flush the other cache, old results can still crop up. Restarting the mDNSResponder daemon clears that cache.
Regards.

What is the easiest method to convert your Outlook Mail from MS Office 2011 for Mac, into Apple Mail?

As best I can see from googling it, there is NO easy direct way with Apple's builtin tools. If you Google it you will find that many software companies are selling Apps specifically designed for this purpose. Good luck.
Hope this helps

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

What am I doing wrong with the isNew() method? and why do I need the other methods?

I have coded an include jsp like this.
 <%@page language="Java"%>
 <%@page import="javax.servlet.http.HttpSession"%>
 <%!
 String iContextPath;
 String iCommonPath;
 String iImagesPath;
 %>
 <%
 iContextPath = request.getContextPath();
 iCommonPath = iContextPath + "/common";
 iImagesPath = iCommonPath + "/images";
 System.err.println(" here ");
 HttpSession thisSession = request.getSession( false );
 if( thisSession.isNew() ){
 System.err.println("isnew");
 response.sendRedirect( iContextPath + "/common/login.jsp" );
 %>
 Now I also have a redirect.jsp in the root of an application that contains
 this.
 <html>
 <body>
 <%
 System.err.println("Redirecting at this time from the root");
 response.sendRedirect( request.getContextPath() + "/secureArea/");
 %>
 </body>
 </html>
 And I have a logout.java servlet that looks like this.
 package com.pch.epics;
 import java.io.IOException;
 import javax.servlet.ServletException;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
 import weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication;
 public class Logout extends HttpServlet{
 private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html";
 //Initialize global variables
 public void init() throws ServletException{
 //Process the HTTP Get request
 public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
 response ) throws ServletException, IOException{
 String username = "";
 if( request.getUserPrincipal() == null ){
 username = "Unknown";
 } else {
 username = request.getUserPrincipal().getName();
 System.err.println( "ePics logging out '" + username + "'" );
 request.getSession( false ).invalidate();
 ServletAuthentication.logout( request );
 ServletAuthentication.invalidateAll( request );
 ServletAuthentication.killCookie( request );
 response.sendRedirect( request.getContextPath() );
 //Process the HTTP Post request
 public void doPost( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
 response ) throws ServletException, IOException{
 doGet( request, response );
 //Clean up resources
 public void destroy(){
 First of all, why won't the isNew() report a new session in the server log?
 EVERY request coming in says it's an old request (ie it's not new). The
 J2EE Applications and BEA WebLogic Server book from BEA says this should
 work.
 My second question is why do I need to do those three lines from
 ServletAuthentication to logout a user? Ok, maybe I'm from the MS world,
 but that seems excessive, especially since I've already done a
 session.invalidate() right before it, but the bea docs say I'm required to
 do all four!


When you invalidate a session. You invalidate the session of the web
 application that your jsp/servlet is part of. It is possible to have more
 than one web application on WLS and have them share a authentication info.
 While these applications share authentication they do not share their
 sessions so because of that calling session invalidate does not kill all the
 sessions. ServletAuthentication is needed to kill all the sessions and do a
 complete logout from WLS.

Since the FF8 update, all bookmarks were lost and none of the recommended methods for restoring lost bookmarks work; I always get "Unable to process to backup file" even though the backup .json files still exist

Since a FF8 update, all bookmarks were lost and none of the recommended restore methods work, even though I have been able to find the backup ".json" files; I continually get "Unable to process the backup file" for all methods of importing or restoring the bookmarks from the .json files. As others note, I can also no longer add any new bookmarks to my now empty bookmarks tab. My profile has not changed, so that's not the problem. This is really a pain.

Did you try to delete the file places.sqlite to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database file from a JSON backup?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why it cannot find the setter method for the attribute in my custom tag?

Hi, i have a custom tag like this:
<robin:category tModelKey="#{data.tModelKey}" > </robin:category>And in my tld file:
<tag>
 <name>category</name>
 <tag-class>category.component.HtmlCategoryTag</tag-class>
 <attribute>
 <name>tModelKey</name>
 <required>false</required>
 <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
 <type>java.lang.String</type>
 </attribute>
</tag>
........................................and in my HtmlCategoryTag Class
public class HtmlCategoryTag extends HtmlPanelGridTag
private String tModelKey;
public String getTModelKey()
return tModelKey;
public void setTModelKey(String modelKey)
tModelKey = modelKey;
So,you see,generally speaking,to use a custom tag,we only to write a tag class,declare it in the tld file,nothing more.
What fints me is that if i change "tModelKey" to "test" and change the according part in the tag class , tld file and jsp file, the "setter not found" problem no longer exists,everything goes right!!!.
So why this happens? please help:)
Best Regards:)
Robin

Then you also need to create a UI element that extends HtmlPanelGrid
that has a tModelKey member and getters/setters. That object will hold
the information so that you can use it in your bean.Whoops... ignore that! Sorry. Attributes are simply stored in the component map component.getAttributes().
Add to your Tag class:
public void setProperties(UIComponent component) {
 super.setProperties(component);
 Tags.setString(component, "tModelKey", tModelKey);
public void release() {
 // see above
}Where Tags.java is:public class Tags {
 public static void setString(UIComponent component, String attributeName, String attributeValue) {
 if (attributeValue != null) {
 if (UIComponentTag.isValueReference(attributeValue)) {
 setValueBinding(component, attributeName, attributeValue);
 } else {
 component.getAttributes().put(attributeName, attributeValue);
 public static void setValueBinding(UIComponent component, String attributeName, String attributeValue) {
 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 Application app = context.getApplication();
 ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding(attributeValue);
 component.setValueBinding(attributeName, vb);
}

What is the recommended method to sign out of Firefox?

I am new to Firefox. I just installed Firefox v 9.0.1. Is it recommended that I sign out of Firefox prior to clicking on the red 'X' button? I use Window 7 as my operating system.

No need to sign-out of anything. You can simply click the red x.

What are the recommended methods to keep CA Certs and CRLs updated in Account Forests for a Cross Forest Enrollment implementation?

Hello,
We have 1 resource Forest and multiple account Forests. We've reviewed the Cross-Forest Cert Enrollment with Windows Server 2008 R2 doc and followed steps 8 and 9 under the 'Deploying AD CS for Cross Forest Cert enrollment' regarding publishing
the root CA Cert and Enterprise CA certs. We run PKISync.psi to copy objects from the resource to the account Forest, and understand Certs and CRLs are not copied from the resource to the account Forests. We are trying to figure out the best way
of keeping the Root and SubCA Certs and CRLs updated in the account Forests.
1. Do folks simply copy the Root and SubCA Certs/CRLs from the resource forest into the account forests when they are renewed and then run the associated -Dspublish commands in the account forest?
2. Any way for a CRL to be checked in the resource forest from a cert on a computer in the account forest?
3. Any other suggestions/references regarding best practices on how to do this?
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

> Do folks simply copy the Root and SubCA Certs/CRLs from the resource forest into the account forests when they are renewed and then run the associated -Dspublish commands in the account forest?
yes. Though, we do not bother with CRL copy as it published to HTTP location only.
> Any way for a CRL to be checked in the resource forest from a cert on a computer in the account forest?
I would suggest to not use LDAP URLs in favor to HTTP.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

What is the best method to clear and reload my mac 10.5.8

I need to clear out my mac which has parralels 5 and my parralels has been corrupted and the are lots of old system accred over time.
I believe restarting from stratch will clear out all of the rubbish and speed up my system.
I can not afford a new computer
I have backed up my system using Carbon copy
Please help

1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
   3. Click the Erase tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, one pass, Erase... after completion do a new install.

Have tried all the different methods to clear cache, but none of them work.

I don't know what other information to supply. The above question sums the problem up fully. The cache simply will not clear/empty.

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have followed the instructions under How to clear the cache, as well as those under Clear Recent History. Options - Advanced - Network - Offline Storage - Clear Now. In addition, my settings specify to clear cache upon closing Firefox. Nothing is working at this point (and hasn't for months, although it used to a long time ago).
I don't know about this 'about:cache' thing. That just gets me to a general google search page.
As far as your questions:
I want to clear the cache to get rid of older links (and get fresh links) at the farmtowngifts.com site. So it's not a major problem, as I could simply quit using Firefox when I have exhausted all current links there, and use a different browser. I don't use Firefox for anything else anyway.

Firefox cannot load some websites connection was reset is the response. have tried clearing cookies and cache and running malware software with no luck

The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
i can load these websites with internet explorer but not firefox example: dickssportinggoods.com and sportsauthority.com

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
