I am no longer the Admin? For crying out loud!

My account type in System Prefs says Standard, when I want to add an application to my folder it asks for a User name and password, but the ones that worked before upgrade no longer do. Please somebody help before I wipe Leopard. The stupid messages that pop up when I download somthing and want to unzip are bad enough - what am I, twelve? - but not letting me into my own computer is really a bit of a wind up. Help help help somebody!

Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Accounts > .
Click the lock at the bottom and enter your Username and Password.
You should now be able to change your account to Admin.
cheers

For crying out loud - leave my Start Menu the way *I* want it!

I put the Start Menu folders for QuickTime and iTunes inside an "Audio" subfolder. I also delete the desktop and quick launch shortcuts for both, as things look tidier like that. But it now seems that I am not allowed to do either of those - if you start iTunes or QuickTime without the shortcut being in the correct folder on the Start Menu, they reinstall, replace the shortcuts where Apple thinks they should be, and restore the desktop and quick launch shortcuts for good measure.
Apple, this is WAY out of line. Desist forthwith - the buggy 1.2 firmware for the iPod was annoying enough, but I'm now about to uninstall iTunes 7 until this is fixed. Go and read the Windows UI guidelines...

C'mon, guys, pretend this is as important as someone cracking your DRM!
it's a user to user troubleshooting forum here. see:
What is Apple Discussions?
if you want to guarantee that someone at Apple sees your concerns, submit feedback at the iTunes application feedback form:
iTunes application feedback
in the meantime, there's some info on workarounds with the Start menu thing in krydog's post in this thread:

Should I install Logic 8 on my new iMac for crying out loud?

I'd like to - but just wanna make sure... or should I wait for updates before even playing with it?
Shall I keep Logic 7.2 on here for any reason? And what do I do about old 7.2 files opening in 8? What happens?
Thanks.

Four Gigzs will be fine, as it handle processing quite smooth some time i load stuff up and i have to wonder if i was about to load something that is how quick it is.
Logic 7 not being in the Dock at this moment is minor, if you know that it can be launch else where, just also remember in Apple Key-Note on Leapard their is a Dock 4 stuff on the Desk-top which is smart for stuff to pop-up as you would from the Dock.
You can also set the prefference on a L.7 song to open in Logic 8 on the info.
These faults can't be forever, but is Minor if you know Logic inside out, if not then it seems like a nightmare, eg i now has to use the mighty-mouse the one with the tail as my Emagic-Logic Mackie controller doesn't work any more and seems to be a bit scared of the new Logic, hopefully i know Apple will have it working sooner than later.
On a level this Version of Logic is a must have, they have done so much to it its fun!
Except for a few windows that you have to go close and see what's going on, that is a lot smaller than L.P 7 other than that things that i see and the way it looks and run is more than amazing.

Switch iPad to spell check uk english for crying out loud

Started with simple document created on iPad2 using Pages 1.6 (504) - noticed spell check default is US English (eg summarize) but I need UK English.
Went through all the settings in iOS Pages to try to switch - no luck.
Went to my iMac, Safari, iCloud, pulled down document, (incidentally noticed it had a problem with missing font despite fact that I'm using defaults throughout), opened in Pages '09 v4.1 (923) selected all, went to inspector, changed to UK English, saved.
Uploaded document to iCloud/iWork - selected 'replace' when given option.
Went back to iPad. Noticed Pages documents had not refreshed. Shut down iPad. Re-started. Selected document, opened, and magically it had reverted to US spelling. Also now has a problem with missing font Calibri - in fact I don't give a tinker's cuss which font it uses, I simply want it to spell in vernacular.
Repeat all of above. Confirmed document when opened on iMac had indeed kept UK spelling, ie problem has something to do with iPad settings.
All-in-all wasted an hour. So much for iCloud/iWork. iGiveUp.
Any ideas?

what's not clear is which keyboard is active since there's no indication.
You can make it clear by holding down the "globe" key and choosing what you want from the list. Or how about deleting the keyboard which does not say English (UK).
Spellcheck normally follows the keyboard on iOS devices and what app you are using is irrelevant.

For crying out loud Apple turn off autocorrect.

Apple,
It's simple !!!!!!!
AUTO CORRECT..........................OFF
SPELL CHECK..............................ON
I'm sick to death of the stupid thing correcting words that are what I want, I want to proof read it and see everything it thinks is wrong underlined in red.
That's it, some of use the iPad as technical support for work and it simply can't handle the multitude of words acronyms etc,
Please give us the option to have auto correct off and spell check on.
Ryes (because the **** thing won't let me have RGDS) Simon.

Have you tried Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Correction and Check Spelling ?
Currently if you turn Auto-Correction OFF you also turn Check Speling OFF as well. There is no way to to have Check Spelling ON and Auto-Correction OFF.
That's what the complaint is about - It's not the first.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, APPLE!

Yes, I too am having the reappearing email problem on both my computers since a few days ago. It's really getting on my nerves, as I'm sure it is everyone. I don't think the problem coincided with any software updates; seems to be a server issue.
So, Apple, what ever you did a few days ago, just please undo it, OK?
Sheesh!

I think Tony is probably referring to the problems described in the threads "Read mail marked Unread again few minutes later." and "Deleated mail re-appears".
There seems to be some change to the .Mac service that spawned these errors.

What Mac OS is needed to use Fifrefox 4, for crying out loud? This is not documented anywhere! I installed it, and, upon launching, I was told I it is not supported by my computer (Power Mac G5, OS 10.4)

No need for further details.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

If you prefer, you can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Flip the ring/silent switch on the left side of the phone from silent (red showing) to ring position.

I cannot update Firefox, my computer is claiming that I need admin permission (everything else updates fine) I am the admin for this computer and I have the password. Any ideas?

I cannot update Firefox, I've tried disabling firewalls etc. My computer claims that I need admin permission to update Firefox although I am the owner and administrator of this computer. There are updates available and know the admin password for this computer. It started when I installed the Noscript tool (which I have tried disabling with the same results)
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I installed the Noscript tool

1. Download either the zipped form (or the portable form) of the latest version of FireFox.
2. Unzip (or execute the portable version) into a scratch directory. (If using the portable version, find the scratch subdirectory with the same contents as the firefox directory in the "program files" - probably called "firefox". You may have to look for it - it's buried)
3. Erase the contents of the firefox subdirectory in the Program Files directory,
4. and copy into "Program Files/firefox" directory the unzipped files (or the files in the portable subdirectory labelled "firefox" - the one that has the set of files and directories just like the ones you erased.).
It worked for me.

Please Help!! How to get the width of the String for print out?

Hi there,
I need to do some printing in my application. I just want to know how can I get the width of the string when it is printed on the paper.
I have tried to use the following code to get the width
Rectangle2D rec = font.getStringBounds(str, new FontRenderContext(null, true, true));
double width = rec.getWidth();
however, the width I got from that function is not correct (the returned width is longer than the printed one)
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you and Happy New Year !

hi,
The getFontMetrics(Font) is also defined in the Component class and therefore you can retrieve it even if you dont override the paint method.
try the following (provided ur code extends some class that extends Component indirectly)
FontMetrics f = this.getFontMetrics(this.getFont());
int width = f.stringWidth(str); //str is the String for which u need to check the width.
hope this was useful
happy holidayz

R12 - long time waiting for coming out new responsibility's menu

Hi,
I'm using EBS r12.1.2 now and I encountered an issue that when I assign a new respponsibility to anyone, then that user logs on the EBS and find that that responsibility menu is not yet shown until more than half an hour. I want to ask how I can set to shorten this waiting time, because it is too time consuming to wait until the new menu of the new responsibility comes out. I can switch to that new responsibility at Oracle Forms, but not at the webpage.
If I switch to that new responsibility at Oracle Forms, then click the function that shows the webpage, then the webpage will say "Oracle XXX cannot retrieve your access set information. Please make sure the profile option XXXXX is set up properly for your responsibility."

1. Login to Oracle Applications using System Administrator responsibility.
2. Navigate to the define user form (FNDSCAUS –Security-->Users-->Define)
3. Query up the user (that is having the issue) and insure the responsibility is NOT end dated.
4. End Date the USER (not the responsibility) and save the record.
5. UN End Date the User and save the record.
6. Run the following requests from View-->Requests-->Submit a New Request--> Single Request
     a. Sync responsibility role data into the WF table
     b. Synchronize WF LOCAL tables
     c. Workflow Directory Services User/Role Validation (with parameters 10000, yes, yes, yes).
Run means submitting requests.
7. Have the user log off and back on and verify that the responsibility appears.
Please let me know, if you still require more clarity?
Thanks

Multibridge extreme and shake - crying out loud for help

Hi everyone
Can someone please tell me how to output video from shake to external broadcast monitor? I have two 21 inch panels and 17 inch broadcast JVC monitor, and everytime I'm hitting that tv button in Shake, signal goes to my second LCD. I tried to turn on decklink desktop - did not change anything....
I saw some posts relating to the same problem, but I just can not fix this... so frustrating
any ideas?
banging my head against the wall

Well, that's quite interesting! I'm also using a DeckLink card and it's working really fine, and that should be the same for you!
So, first, in the BMD control panel, check the "Enable video desktop" button and reboot your computer.
Go to the Displays control panel and check "show displays in menu bar"
This will add a display menu to the menu bar, and at the bottom of this menu, you should have a grayed line called Display 3 and below you can choose different resolutions. Choose the resolution that matches your broadcast monitor resolution.
Next lunch Shake, and correct the broadcast monitor setting (usually 3 on a dual monitor + broadcast monitor configuration).
Then click the monitor button to send the video to the broadcast display.
And normally, it should work.
Keep in mind that opening several video applications (like FCP and shake and color and motion) could be problematic as each application won't share the same video output.
You can use multiple video applications at the same time, but only enable the video output on the application you are using, and disable the others.
Hope it helped!

EREC: Please explain the setup for knock-out questions in questionnaires

Hi
Can anyone help me with the setup procedure for working with knock out questions in SAP 604 SP1.4?
I know the basics, but can't seem to figure out how to set it up.
Greatly appreciated
Jakob

Hi Roman,
I also have a question regarding the Knock out questionnaires in EHP4. I have set up a single selection questionnaire. I would like to see a green light for all but one of the answers and I can not make this happen. If I mark the 4 I want green as "Expected" they appear red as does the one that I don't want to be expected. If I gradually mark them 100, 90, 80, 60, they are all green, even the one I marked with zero points. If I gradually mark them and mark them expected they are ready. I have tried 9 different variations.
Here is what it looks like:
What was your most recent PEP rating?
LP
SP
CP
IP
NP
I want green as my result if the internal candidate picks any of the first 4 and red if they pick NP. I am just unsure of how to make this happen. Any advice you could provide would be most appreaciated!
Thank you,
Kelly
