In Lion, PDF Merge is different way
After installed Lion, when preview any PDF file, there is no more sidebars.
How to merge PDF files?
Or in Lion, is done differently ?
Many thanks

Mac OS X v10.7 Lion ( I have only tried this on Lion )
Hay guys try this, pic any number of pdf's from your mac open each one in a separate preview page, open up the side bar as explained by leroydouglas then drag the sidebar icon onto the other preview pdf ( please note that under lion you don't see the blue line appear I'm not sure if its only me or just an observation on my machine) keep doing for as many you need to merge, then go to print, bottom left corner save as pdf, it will create another preview pdf with all sidebar previews as one, this is under Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
Works great on Lion. excuse my explanation but im not a great writer, thanks enjoy.

Pdf color looks different in preview and acrobat?
I notice that the colors in various PDF files I have look different in Preview and in Acrobat. Is there some weird color profile issue?
To be specific, I can create a PDF file in various ways, of a slide deck I originally created using Keynote. It has various different color blocks in the slides. In particular some acid green colors look very different depending on whether I open the PDF in Acrobat or in Preview.
Preview shows the colors as they were in the original keynote application. But Acrobat shows them far more muted.
I learned from another post that if I create the PDF by first saving to postscript and then creating the PDF using Acrobat, the issue seems to go away. However this is very inconvenient.
In short, it seems as though there is some peculiar difference between the way Preview and Keynote (and probably Pages ) handle color and the way Acrobat handles color.
Is there some way to fix this using some setting in one of the programs?
By the way, this is not a new problem. I noticed it with previous OS's as well as previous versions of Keynote. I am currently using the latest version of everything.Same problem here. I was printing a PDF that my designer had sent me. Before I have always used Acrobat, but I've started using Preview in Leopard since it's faster and more powerful than before. But the colors were seriously wrong, often reversed completely. I believe this file was originally created in Illustrator.

How do I merge 2 different backups in a new iphone?
Hello to the community.
So here's my story:
1. I had an iphone4s that had some issues and went to the store for replacement etc. I was wise enough to make a backup. And actually I gave that backup folder a name "iphone4s backup" so that itunes or me would never be confused and backup anything else in that folder (I also have an ipad etc). These instructions helped me do it and it worked http://www.monkeedev.co.uk/blog/2010/03/11/managing-multiple-iphone-backups-thro ugh-itunes/
Useful instructions to help you keep old backups and not get overwritten.
2. I picked up my old empty iphone3gs from the drawer and created a new iphone. I didn't restore from the iphone4s backup cause I thought I would be using the 3gs for only a week or so and I thought I shouldn't bother. However it turned out that was not the case. The iphone4s came back to me after a month, and since the arrival of the iphone5 had already been anounced I thought I should leave the new/refurbished/whatever iphone4s in the box to give it to a relative, keep using my 3gs and buy the iphone5 when it arrived. So I created a backup of the 3gs as well.
The problem:
In a couple of days i'm getting the iphone5. If i restore from the backup of the iphone4s i will lose every text message etc I've had the last months in my 3gs. If I restore from the 3gs backup I will lose every text message I've had in the iphone4s (i'm mentioning text messages as an example, but to be honest that's what I care mostly about).
If I follow the same instructions I followed to keep the backup of the iphone4s, and keep the backup of the 3gs as well, is there a way to merge these to folders into one (let's say "iphone4s and 3gs backup") and set the iphone5 restoring from this backup??
(My brain functions in a "windows" manner so I thought maybe copy and paste everything from these two folders into the new one. Any case the iphone5 will recognize that and show the text messages according to contacts and in chronological order etc???)
Sorry for the long message but i wanted to be clear about the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much for the reply. It took me a while to come up with a comment cause I was trying to accomplish what I wanted (to merge 2 different backups) and I used every way that I could possibly think of. Leaving out something a total computer geek might have tried that I didn't, I can say that I tried everything. And I came up with this. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE ! ! !
However, your post helped me cause although the icopybot was not able to merge the backups, it at least gave me the chance to extract my text messages, touch notes etc from the backup that I chose not to restore from. So I may not have that information and data in my new iphone, but at least they exist somewhere in my hdd in a way that I can have access to them, contrary to what itunes insists in offering.

Adding PDF Security attributes while PDF Merge
Hi,
I am trying to merge multiple pdf document and want to secure the output using pdf security attributes.
Is there a way to achieve this while pdf merge ?
(I am able to do so while generating the pdf using FO Processor but not while merging existing pdf files.)
Thanks in Adavance
~neerajHi Neeraj
What API are you using to merge the documents ?
If you are using PDFDocMerger you can use the setConfig method on the API to set the password.

Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue.
Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue. Help
For anyone following this thread, I've found a solution to my problem. Turns out that a cute widget called FishTank appears to be the culprit. With it running in Dashboard (even when I don't see Dashboard) the Screensaver and Sleep functions don't work. I turned it off, not because I'm clever, just because I tired of it, and voilà, Screensaver and Sleep are now working. It can stay in my widgets list without any problem, it just can't be turned on. I'm going to delete it anyway, however.
Hope this points the way to solutions for some of the rest of you!
Cheers!

Can I build a query in a different way without using alias tables of position,physical Quantity in the WEBI report level.
(SELECT DISTINCT pp2.trade subtrade,
pq2.shipment subshipment,
pp2.POSITION subposition,
pq2.measure
FROM counterparty cp,
position pp,
physicalquantity pq,
physicalquantity pq2,
position pp2
WHERE pp.POSITION = pq.POSITION
AND pq.quantitystatus = 'ACTUAL'
AND pq.shipment = pq2.shipment
AND pp2.POSITION = pq2.POSITION
AND pq2.quantitystatus = 'ACTUAL'
AND (pp.position <> pp2.position OR pp2.position IS NULL)
AND pp.counterparty = cp.counterparty(+))My questions:
Why are you using "position pp" and "position pp2"?
Why are you using "physicalquantity pq" and "physicalquantity pq2"?
Are you using custom SQL? "Edit query" / SQL / use Custom SQL
If you really need this like it is, I think you can change this sentence a little
Other way of doing this is: In the "Edit Query"
- Create 2 queries, one for position and other for physicalquantity
- Select key figures and dimensions/caracteristics from tables then in the "Query filters" add attributes for selection, this way you will turn this code more simple.
Finally go to "Edit report" and select "Merge dimensions"
Hope this helps -
Can you merge 2 different apple ID's
can you merge 2 different apple ID's?
Similar question, with a difference. I have set the Mac (BP, 10.8.2) with Apple ID #1, and the iPhone (4S, iOS6) with #2. Stupid of me, of course - but in the meantime I have content in both iClouds, and if I cancel either one, I lose some content. Any way out?

LockWindowUpdate() is our friend + better PDF merging
Hi,
We're building eBooks from hundreds of pdfs. This is a problem for Acrobat because such large numbers of input files are apparently way beyond current design specs.
A problem comes up when combining files via FILE >> Create PDF >> Merge Files into a single PDF...
When you point to a folder with hundred or thousands of PDFs the GUI bogs down simply because the listbox updates itself after every new file.
The first improvement is very easy for the Acrobat developers. They simply need to wait to drive the list box updates until after the file name gathering is done. This is easily accomplished with the Win32 API LockWindowUpdate(). This could easily reduce the time to load big file lists to just 5% or less of
Once the filenames are populated on the COMBINE FILES dialog the processing is horribly slow because the Warning/Errors column need to be updated for each file. I, for one, could easily do without that column. A simple report at the end of the process would much faster. I'm running a job of 2700 files on a dual core 2.6 ghz box and it will problably take an hour. My guess is upwards of 90% of those CPU cycles go into listbox updates.
Another happily simple minded approach would be to allow the user to point to a text file with all of the paths. Acrobat would read that and provide very lightweight process indicators. The file with the paths could be very simple with just one path per line. Wildcard processing would be nice. Of course, this should run with the lightest possible process indicators. The COMBINE FILES dialog should not be used.

If we observe test query is very simple and easy to back track but in Dev it is appending like sawwith0,sawwith1 etc..looking difficult.
Is there in any configuration to change to generate query like Test(with out SAWWITH0).
NOTE:Any how results are same in both instances.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thank You,

Different ways to setup applets... what's best?
Alright. I need some help deciding how to setup an applet. I'm a high school student and I'm going to be in a competition on Saturday that will be using Java applets. I've been trying to get my hands on as much info about it as I can, but I've seen so many different ways of displaying things on an applet that I'm not sure what to do anymore.
So here's the deal. In a book I have, they set up applets like this:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example extends JApplet
public void init()
getContentPane().add(new ExamplePanel ());
set size (300, 300)
}And the other class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ExamplePanel extends JPanel
private vars
public ExamplePanel ()
set up listeners and set background
public void paintComponent (Graphics page)
super.paintComponent (page);
paint stuff
event methods
}I'm pretty sure this works fine, but while on the Java website, looking for examples, I noticed that sun sets up applets like this:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Example extends JPanel implements listener interfaces
protected and private vars
public Example ()
set up panels, labels, basically any JComponent stuff
create listeners
use add(...) to put stuff on applet
event methods
private static void createAndShowGUI()
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JComponent newContentPane = new Example();
newContentPane.setOpaque (true);
frame.setContentPane (newContentPane);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main()
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
createAndShowGUI();
}I don't know which way is better, but we don't have much time so I need something that's easy. The problem with the second one is that I don't know how to draw shapes on the second one and I might need to do that. I tried using paintComponent in it and things just got screwy. If anyone knows of a better way, please let me know. And since that one was developed directly from Sun, I'm guessing it's more efficient, so I would like to use that one if I can just learn how to use it as easily as the first.
Also, if anyone knows a completely different way to do this that's better, please let me know.The second Example class shows an important issue: swing is not thread safe, and thus all GUI operations, including creating the GUI itself, must be done in the event dispatch thread. Read more about it at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html#EDT.
The second class Example does also not seem to be an applet, that is why main() is used instead of init(). But even in init() you are not guaranteed that the current thread is the EDT - it is choosen by the browser you are using - and you should thus use invokeLater() there as well.
Appart from that, a component should not care if it is displayed in an applet or in an application. -
A different way to deal with "unknown" user after upgrade from Tiger.
It's a known issue that doing upgrade and install or archive and install from Tiger to Leopard, produces a lot of folders with "unknown" group in their "get info" panel. This has to do with a different group structure in Tiger and Leopard.
In Tiger, every user has their own private group with the same name as the username. That group is set to be user's primary group.
In leopard, every new user with an account is a member of the group staff (gid=20) which is not present in Tiger. Leopard doesn't fully understand Tiger's private group structure, hence the "unknown" group. This causes various problems such as Finder crashes when trying to change the permissions and ownership in the get info window.
Apple's proposed way of dealing with this is described [here|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307128].
However, this method doesn't change the existing group structure and doesn't resolve all the problems.
I'd like to suggest a different way of dealing with it.
1. create a new admin user (if you don't have one already), log out of your primary account and log into the new one.
2. enter the following in terminal:
*sudo dscl . delete /users/"username"*
where username is the short name of the user on the main account (not the one you are currently logged into).
This will delete that user.
3. Log out/in.
4. go to system preferences->accounts and create a new user with the name and short name exactly as the one you've deleted in step 2.
You'll be get a popup saying that a home directory by this name already exists and asking if you want to use it. Say "Yes".
That's it. Your main user will be recreated using the native group structure of Leopard with gid=20(staff). Permissions on your home directory will be reset with correct group and ownership.
I tested the process on my powerbook after an upgrade and install from Tiger to leopard and it worked without a hitch.
I like this method better than Apple's because it completely gets rid of Tiger's group structure which was creating all the confusion. The only downside as far as I can see is that you might have to manually change the group ownership on some files belonging to the main user that sit outside your home directory.
I would appreciate any comments on this.hmm, I confess, I did this before installing 10.5.2 so i can't say for sure. However, I've dealt with a few people (see e.g. this [thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7012957]) who are running 10.5.2 and still have this issue. I don't know what if anything 10.5.2 did about this but I'm quite sure that it didn't change the group structure inherited from Tiger.

Two separate versions of the same file corrupted in different ways...
I was working on a Photoshop CS4 file last night that was created in CS4 and has only been opened on this machine in CS4. I saved the file and closed Photoshop. When I open the file today, all my layers are gone, flattened into one Background layer, and the image looks like colored TV static. On top of that, the separate, older version of this file with a different name (created earlier in the week on the same machine in the same CS4) will not open at all - I get the error message, "Could not complete your request because the file is empty" and the file size has mysteriously shrunk to 76 KB from 20+ MB. What happened?! I'm guessing these files are corrupted beyond recovery, but why and how did this happen? Has anyone had this or a similar problem? I want to know how to prevent this from happening in the future. Please help! Thank you. =)
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.
Same issue, new question - don't ask me why I did this, but while both Photoshop and the now corrupted file were open, I changed the name of the folder containing the file, then continued to save the open version of the file without first closing it and reopening it from the newly renamed folder. Could this have caused both files in that folder to become corrupted in different ways? The other file that gives me the "file is empty" error was not open at the time, but it was in that folder. I'm thinking maybe by changing the path to the files while Photoshop was running, that could have triggered this. ?? I have 3 1TB internal drives raided to read as 1 drive, so I'm really hoping that one of these disks is not dying on me as you suggested. I was also backing up an external drive using BackBlaze when this all occurred - any possible connection? How can I find out if one of my three raided drives (and which one) might be going bad?
Thanks!! -
