I need to be able to lock my home page from IT intrusions

Our IT department has some kind of script to reset our setting every time the computer reboots. That includes the Home page. I switched to Firefox because they were doing it on IE. Now they found a way to do it on Firefox too.. My home page contains all my links, organized a certain way to be efficient. I need a way to either prevent them from changing my home page, or some way to undo their damage automatically at startup. Can you help? A good start would be to know in what file the homepage is located. Maybe I can make it write-protected, or keep a good copy of it, and rewrite it periodically... Thanks in advance.
== IT figured out a way to change the homepage on Firefox

Hello dhrm77.
First of all, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your question, you may want to store your homepage in a bookmark, and use it from there. It's certainly more trouble-free than going into your profile folder and change a file every time.
OR, you may want to play around a bit with your use profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]). Maybe it you create a different profile for Firefox and you have it selected when you shut down your PC, maybe their software won't change the settings on your real profile. Just an idea, I don't know if it'll work.

How do you modify the web.xml to lock down the pages from a user role

how do you modify the web.xml to lock down the pages from a user role

I'll make a stab at your question:
The following is an example of where a URL is protected within a web.xml deployment descriptor. In this example, the URL /protectedA within the application is protected:

<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>protectedA</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/protectedA</url-pattern>

Need help stopping home page from appearing

Hello:
I've designed and programed the site www.pawsandclawspets.com
but I can't figure our how to keep the home page from flashing when
going from one page to the next. I have all my movies loading onto
a level above it and don't want to hide the home page entirely as I
am using the nav at the top on all the pages.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

The first image on your page is this:
<img id="logo" src="
http://test.inspiringmen.com/images/logo.png"
... />
onload=function(){
var imgs=[
"/images/logo.png",
"/images/another.png",
"/images/yetanother.jpg",
"/images/onemore.jpg"];
document.getElementById("logo").src=imgs[(+new
Date())%imgs.length];
This assumes that the "images" folder is at the root level of
your site.
You may add or remove image paths from the "imgs" array at
will.

Need to login again while opening a JSP page from inside Oracle Forms

Hi,
we are using EBS r12.1.1 on OEL 5.
Whenever we are trying to open java page from inside an Oracle Form a login page is coming again.And we need to login to view the page.Whereas when the same page is been opened from the home page itself it is opening fine.
Please help.

Hi,
We've had similiar issues to this. Typically it's around the java version on the client machine being different to that on the oracle server.
We usually uninstall the client machines java (making sure all applications are closed first), then log back into forms so it downloads the java client again from the server.
Once it has done that, you need to go into the java control panel and turn off updates.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Russell H.

Hi Berchmans,
You need to provide oracle application user name and password and any responsibility which is assigned to this user.
Here no DB connection is made and tested.
Whenever we login to oracle application we provide user name and password and then we see the responsibility list and then once you select any responsibility then list of functions.
To run your page with same functional security JDeveloper needs user name and password with his valid responsibility key and responsibility application short name.
Hope it is clear now.

We need to be able to lock ipad folders. (or is there an app I cant find?)

We use our ipad as a communication and education tool for my son who has autism. I want him to have free access to certain apps, but not others. I would think the ability to lock an app folder is the simplest solution and I don't know why this is not a function of the ipad - it seems pretty rudimentry. The same goes for protecting videos/photos. We use a lot for augmented communication as well as video modelling and this week he deleted most of them (before I had a chance to back up). The ipad is very obviously being promoted in a special needs setting (indeed it is seen as revolutionary for families with non verbal children), this is one thing that would significantly improve the product for our market.

The best thing is to send them feedback. Given the increased popularity of the device for education and special needs people I can certainly see how some control is needed.
If restrictions doesn't help enough you could try separating his apps onto their own page and see if that helps to keep him on task and away from things he shouldn't be accessing.

I use Acrobat to convert firefox pages to pdf and with firefox4 I need to be able to copy and pasted text from the pdf and no longer can.

With the prior version of Firefox I could convert web pages (financial data) to pdf for maintaining historical files. And then with the pdf, I was able to copy and paste the numbers into Excel. With Firefox4, I can convert to pdf with Acrobat but I cannot access the numbers for copying and pasting as text, only as a picture. While I prefer Firefox, I check to see if this problem recently started with the "other" company's web browser and did not have this problem. So, it is not Acrobat.

HI djlarp,
Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
Best,
Sara

Need to be able to run my iweb website from a CD on a PC and a Mac

I'm creating a website for a school project, and every time I copy the files or publish the website to the CD, it will not run the website off of the CD on a PC, only the mac i'm creating it on.
I can look at each individual page, but it will not show any content but the title and background when i open the index folder.
The links do not appear in the Nav Bar, and the albums do not appear on the pages i made.
I have only tried to access it on PC's, not another Mac. It runs fine off of the Mac i'm making it on.
Please help,
Matt

Will I be able to access my home sharing from my laptop if desktop is in storage for a few months ?

My desktop will not update iTunes. Running WinXP. Enabled home sharing and all is well on my laptop (Win7). I'm relocating out of state. Staying with family until I get on my feet for a few months. Desktop will be in storage. Will I still be able to access my purchased music on my laptop although my desktop is boxed up somewhere else? I was able to transfer CD installed music to laptop thru a flash drive.

Hi Finewhitesugar,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. Home Sharing allows you to both stream and transfer music between computers, as noted in the article below. You should be able to play any music that you transferred from your desktop to your laptop prior to storing it, but would not be able to stream anything while the desktop is off and in storage.

Other options would include redownloading any previous purchases directly from the iTunes Store to your laptop and/or using iTunes Match. You may find the following articles helpful:

I did a dumb thing and clicked on "Start Private Browsing". Ever since then I have not been able to set my home page in Firefox. I have tried dozens of times and each time I close Firefox and re-open it - My homepage is BLANK.

This is so frustrating and this question/answer place is my last resort. How do I get my favorite home page back? Sure hope you can help me.

Why am I not able to see a home page for the itunes store?

When I click on the itunes store to purchase songs...nothing shows up but a page to download a new software. It will not let me leave the page as well. I would like to purchase songs. What should I do?

Thanks for your response. I hadn't mentioned I was using a B9180 icc profice and since the 9180 can print up to 13x19 inches you'd think there'd be an option to do so, so I'll recheck it. Thanks again.

Need to restart my system to get Home sharing from Windows working

On the second start-up of iTunes on Windows, it cannot see my two AirPlay devices on my network and other devices on the network cannot see the shared library. All of this works the first time I start Windows after system start-up. If I reboot the machine, things start working again.
This is very inconvenient. Has anyone else experienced the same problems? and found a solution?
Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 10.5 64-bit. AirPort Time Capsule router. All devices are connected with Ethernet. ESET Antivirus and Windows firewall. I have tried temporarily disable both security products to troubleshoot the problem. No difference with the product disabled.

Hi, all - I will post this in both my discussions... I HAVE SOLVED MY ISSUE with Home Sharing dropping!!! I hope this helps someone else!
I said earlier i had two machines both Win7x64, both running iTunes x64 - only one worked without dropping the home sharing connection. I sat down and compared entries in both firewalls for both machines. It appears there were duplicate entries for Bonjour in the PC that WAS NOT working. Once I changed the firewall to match that of the other - IT WORKS.
Here are brief steps and my settings that are working for Win7x64. (I expect this could be a similar issue in Win7x86(32bit) and MacOS).
Click Start
In "Run" type: (no quotes) Firewall
Select Advanced Firewall
Select "Inbound Rules"
Select "Sort by Group" so there is no grouping (this will bring Bonjour and iTunes entry to the top, most likely
Match my settings which Ive included below so there are only 4 Bonjour entries and 1 iTunes.
Delete any duplicates for Bonjour (I had 4 set to Public and two set to Private) They should all be on your private network -
There should be only one each of a TCP and UDP entry for C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe
AND
Only one each of a TCP and UDP entry for C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe

When I press the Home button the iPad won't return to the home page. I have to press hard or press down for a long period to get it to change. sometimes I turn it off and on again to be able to access the home page

When I press the home button my iPad won't go to he home page. It is as though the button isn't working properly?

Try this to calibrate your home button:
Open a stock iOS app (e.g., Clock). Once the app is open, press your iPad’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done!

I used to be able to email a site page from a drop down menu I can no longer do this after a recent upgrade can i recapture this?

There were deveral other options on the menu like send link etc

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Am I able to have multiple home pages when I open firefox mozilla?

Internet explorer allows you type in other addresses in internet options and will open them all.

For details of how to set multiple home pages see the [[How to set the home page]] article.
To make Firefox open the home pages at startup, in the Tools menu select Options. Go to the General panel, and make sure the setting "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my home page".
