I cannot add shortcuts to my desktop using your suggested way!

When I drag the icon to the desktop, it looks fine, but when I release the mouse button. there is no shortcut there

I think the steps you are using might be out of date? In the old days, the site icon was immediately to the left of the address in the address bar. But now there is a different icon there: a globe, or lock, or warning triangle. You now drag ''that'' icon to the desktop to create the shortcut. Does that work?

  • Cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista

    Hi All,
    I cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista. Explorer
    crashes. It is a Captivate 2 file.
    I have tried (with no luck):
    - logging in as a different user and deleting the file.
    - running explorer as an Administrator
    - uninstalling Captivate.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Raef

    Hi Raef,
    That is a strange issue. Here are a couple more ideas you
    could try:
    - Have you tried renaming the file (including suffix)?
    - Have you rebooted?
    - Do you get any error messages when trying to delete, such
    as "Acess Denied"?
    - Is your machine networked? Is it possible someone else has
    the file open?
    - Can the file be moved to another location or put in a
    folder (and then deleted)?
    - Have you tried using the Command Prompt / DOS mode to
    delete the file?
    It sounds like it could be a Vista issue so I would look at
    the Microsoft Vista forums too. Sorry I do not have an exact
    answer.
    IHTH,
    Aaron

  • Cannot add content to iTunes U using Woolamloo Automator Action

    We cannot use the Woolamloo Automator action to add any content to our iTunes U site recently. Ex: We created a workflow using “Get iTunes U XML” , “Find Sections in iTunes U XML” and “Add divisions into iTunes U” actions, the returned result was the section handle to which the division was expected to be added and the the log said “ Get iTunes U XML completed, Find Sections in iTunes U XML completed, Add Divisions into iTunes U completed, Workflow completed”, however, no division was added to the section actually. It’s the same with other adding content actions. But we had no problem with deleting actions.
    Meanwhile, we cannot access the iTunesU webservices, either. When we try “curl https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/API/ShowTree/nd.edu.roothandle?​credentials=(administrator credential)&identity=(identity)&time=(time)&signature=(signature)&x=true”, the result is : “Forbidden. You don’t have permission to access this document on this server”. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Yes, we still have this problem.
    We believe the shared secret and credentials are correct because we can get the site XML via Woolamaloo Automator action.
    We also attached the debug suffix in the script and the result was "Because the received signature and time were valid, the received identity and credentials were accepted by iTunes U." And we can use the same signature to log in to our iTunes U site. But when performing the HTTP GET request, we got the "request is forbidden" error.
    Thanks for your help, we do appreciate.

  • URGENT!!!!Userinfo cannot display well on portal desktop using Win98 IE!!!!

    Hello,
    I browse portal which version is 2005Q1 in win98 chinese version, but the userinfo on the portal desktop left cannot display correctly. Here the userinfo should be chinese word with utf-8 code.
    But in win2000 and XP, it display well.
    The userinfo template is /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/ut_zh/UserInfo/html/content.template.
    Please help me to solve it.

    Do you use chinese version of Portal under chinese locale supported by 2005Q1 platforms? I'll assume your Window98 IE is supported chinese as well . Userinfo in one of channels under desktop. Do you have any other channel which display chinese characters? Look at userinfo channel configuration and select client=HTML to examine correct locale for this property. If you have more than one channel need to display localization character, please create different locale of desktop and apply them all together.
    Look at the Portal customization manual for more detail. HTH, Jerry

  • I cannot make shortcuts to my most used sites. How do i do this?

    in IE, I have one bar with all the shortcuts to go quickly access my most frequently used sites. Is there a way to do it that I haven't found yet?

    In Firefox 4 you see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
    * Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • N8 Problem: Cannot add shortcuts to home screen

    Hi, has anyone experienced this problem before? When I try adding any shortcut to the home screen, it shows a "running circle" icon on the home screen. Looks like it's loading, but it's just like that forever. This happens to all available shortcuts and most of the widgets except for Clocks and Map Apps.
    My phone is updated to the latest Belle.
    Thanks for your inputs.
    Theo.

  • Help!! I have used an external hard drive on my Macbook Pro to save photos and edit.  Now I have purchased a desktop Apple machine, and new copy of lightroom, however, I cannot see the files on the desktop using the external hard drive.

    Hi, I am wondering if someone knows if I can open/(how I see) the files I have saved in Lightroom on my Mac laptop, on my new desktop?

    You want to transfer the catalog file to the new desktop using your operating system, and open that by double-clicking on it. Then reconnect the photos to Lightroom (if necessary) by these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Cannot add shared Contacts in Open Directory from a client

    Hello all
    I need to transfer vCards from a local Address book to the Server and I need them to be shown in each client's Address book.
    *Problem 1:* I cannot add or edit shared contact using the Directory app. from a client to a 10.5.3 Server. Only the Directory Admin credentials are valid. The client 10.5.5 is bound OK. The app is configured to use password, not Kerberos, and the Server is "responding normally" in the Directory Utility application.
    I can even login as a mobile user with Network Home. Same there.
    *Problem 2:* Ive put in Address Book the correct LDAP settings, but I cannot see a catalog of vCards. If I search using the search field, I get results, but I need them to be shown all as catalog.
    Thanks in advance
    Kostas

    This turned out to be a reverse DNS configuration problem. Apple support suggested using a local ip address instead of my public host name. That worked so I looked into the reverse dns configuration. I fooled myself by thinking that if I could reach my host with my.host.com with other services like http, that my DNS was set up correctly. My reverse DNS originally resolved to my.host.com when it should have been something more like 123-456-789-103.cos.pcisys.net. Now I can reach my host from anywhere with the Directory application.

  • When I start firefox through shortcut icon on desktop, the message comes that Windows cannot find C:\...\jqsnotify.exe

    When I start firefox through shortcut icon on desktop, the message comes that Windows cannot find C:\...\jqsnotify.exe . Tried to search the file through Search also but could not find the file.

    That is the Java Quick Starter, a couple of options for you:
    # Open the add-ons manager (in the Tools menu select Add-ons)
    # In the list of Extensions, click on Java Quick Starter to select it, then click on Disable
    When you re-start Firefox that should stop the error.
    The second option is to re-install Java. You are using an old version of Java so it is recommended that you install the latest version, available from http://java.com/

  • Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Can anyone please advise me.

    Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod. 
    Can anyone please advise me.

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • How do you add a shortcut to the desktop with ios5?

    Thanks to Itunes helpfully corrupting my Ipad backup and crashing the upgrade to ios5.1 (or whatever) this morning, I've had to completely rebuild my ipad from scratch.  Thanks, I didn't have anything better to do today than try to get all my apps and things set up the way I like again!  And, I didn't have any important data or anything... what the ****, if an update can wipe the ipad AND corrupt the backup, there is a serious problem with this whole thing!
    Anyway, does anyone know how to get a bookmark to a webpage on the desktop?  It used to be that you could click the little "plus" button and just select to put the shortcut on the desktop, but you can't do that anymore, and none of my searches have come up with anything that isn't referring to pre-ios5 versions of safari on the ipad...
    Thanks!

    It is totally weird that you no longer have that feature in the Safari app. Have you tried the basics, restart, reset, quit the app, clear Safari.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit Safarai and restart - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    I have seen some of the most bizarre, off the wall, mysterious issues on my iPad since I updated that it has me totally mystified in many ways. Very, very disappointing to say the least.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
    Has it returned to normal for you?
