Is it possible to disable Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and only use 5 GHz for testing new wireless installations? (Lion, MBP Mid 2010)

Hi,
I already read that it was not possible to switch off either 2.4ghz or 5ghz radio in the year 2009. Is it in the meantime possible? I would like to test some new wireless installations on Co-channel interference.

AHT on the disks is unreliable and can't be updated to match firmware and drivers changes in OS X updates, so don't even bother with it.
If your Mac is a more recent model, you can boot the machine while holding the D key down until something appears on the screen, but you have to be near your Wifi or on Ethernet connection to the router/modem as AHT is downloaded from Apple's servers.
If your machine is having a problem, take it to a Apple Authroized Repair or Store and they will hook it up to their diagnostic machine for free.
No problem.
And you can install as many OS X versions on one machine as you like, as long as it's a Mac.
OS X 10.5 is obsolete and insecure, OS X 10.6 and later are getting security updates.
OS X 10.6 has Rosetta and will run your PPC based programs of 10.5.
OS X 10.7 and later version will not run Rosetta or PPC code, unless you install OS X 10.6 Server (it's legal) into a virtual machine program.
Download the free MacTracker and it can tell you everything about your particular model of Mac and what operating systems it will run.

Is it possible to hide the save function and only use the save as function in teststand

Hi,
When i'm done building a sequence i want to prevent other engineers to save the sequence with the same filename (or version number).
Is it somehow possible to "hide" the save button and only use the save as function?
Or is there another possiblity to solve my problem.
The idea is to have a sequence called Sequence_V1.0.seq which i have build. When installing this in a factory enviroment I would like whenever there is a change needed in the sequence that the version number increases (manual action) (becomes Sequence_V1.1.seq). So from the moment you want to save i would like to only have the function save as. In this way you are obligated to fill in a new sequence name (original sequence will be read-only)
What would even be great if there could be a log of what the changes were
Thx!!!

1) You could mark the file as read-only, by default you would then not be able to save over it. The user could make it not read-only though if they know what they are doing.
2) Another possibility is to lock the sequence file for editing (this is a teststand feature). Go to the Sequence File Property dialog, on the advanced tab, where it says Password Protection, set it to Not Editable and give it a good password. This doesn't however keep someone from saving another file to the same name as the locked one, but they at least won't be able to saved the locked file again without your password, nor will they be able to edit it.
Hope this helps,

Disabling normal login and only using smart card login?

I've managed to setup login using BELPIC (Belgian Identity Card (smart card). However I can still login using username/password. Is it possible to restrict the system only using smart card login? (maybe via tweaking the authorize file?)
Thanks

The problem isn't with the provider part of the code - it has to do with security privleges. Java code running from the command line has full access to the file-system. Servlets running inside a container do not.
In order to access cryptographic keystores, the JVM must allow the servlet code to access local files (and through them, the device drivers to the crypto token). Servlet code running inside a web/application server container, by design, are restricted in their ability to access local files on the servlet container machine (other than configuration files and application code under the servlet context root).
In order to continue with my project, I had to temporarily provide the servlet full access to the machine's file-system in the java.policy file for your JVM, along the lines of the following:
grant {
permission java.security.SecurityPermission "authProvider.SunPKCS11-NSS", "getSignerPrivateKey";
I hope to go back and restrict this access so that only the specific security grants are available to the servlet to access the private key (the above is too lenient).
You will need to do something similar to your JVM's java.policy to allow the servlet to access the private key. Substitute the "authProvider.SunPKCS11-NSS" with the driver for your own token.

Is it possible to remove the To: field in mail and just use Bcc?

Hi,
I often use Mail at work to distribute information by email to members of our union. I copy and paste their email address from another list that is kept up to date by someone else. Most of the time I remember to paste their addresses to the Bcc field so members don't see who else is a member or their email addresses. Occasionally I forget and paste it into the To field and get many complaints about privacy etc.
I therefore feel it would be safer if I could some how remove the To field and just use the Bcc field instead. Is this possible or does anyone have any better ideas?
Regards and thanks,
Dave.

This will depend entirely upon the SMTP. Some SMTP will move a Bcc address to the To because their policy requires at least one address be in the To. Other do not require it.
Better to create a Group in Address Book, and then use the Group name as the addressee, taking care to have the Preferences set to not display members of the Group. The resulting To will read Undesignated Receipts.

Can I disable Cellular data (US Data plan) and still use the Find My Iphone Service (GPS??) in France?

I have a US Model iPhone 4 (ATT). I'll be traveling to France for 2 months and I'd like to be able to disable my cellular data while on travel.
My questions:
- Can I do this and still access Wifi? I think yes
- Can I do this and still use Skype? I think yes
- Can I do this and still use GPS for the Find My iPhone Service? I don't know....
- If I can't do any of the above then what are my options?
JC

Find my Phone requires a data connection. If cellular data is turned off, it will be pretty much useless unless you are constantly connected to WiFi, which of course you won't be. Same with Skype, data connection required, so will work when connected to WiFi. Unlees the mapping data is stored locally on your phone, GPS will be useless, as the built in Maps app requires a data connection as none of the data is stored on your phone.

Is it possible to disable form autocompletion in Firefox 4 but only for secure sites?

In general I want to use the autocomplete function but I don't want it to remember my credit card numbers. I just want to disable the feature for https sites.

Firefox 4 should use an algorithm to check form data for the presence of a credit card number and prevent it from getting saved as form data. So you can try to check if that works in your case.

Is it possible to make an animated drop down menu and still use the menu widget?

Hi- I am trying to create a menu bar that is hidden with just a tab exposed to indicate that there is a menu there. Upon rollover, the full menu bar slides down and reveals the menu items. I can't find a way to make it smoothly slide down so I settled for the Photoshop button and just moved the button position in Photoshop to fake it. The problem is now I need to find a way to still use the menu widget along with this. if that can't be done, can I use the Photoshop button and populate the menu there and abandon the menu widget?
Someone suggested using Edge Animate ( why the hell is this a separate software from Muse?) to make the animation. If that's a possibility, can the menu widget be used with the Edge file that's imported? please help me get to where I need to go however it needs to happen! Thanks in advance.
Here's a link to a screenshot of my menu: http://www.groovindj.com/menu.jpg
Here's a site that does pretty much what I'm looking to do... www.bagigia.com

Ok, thanks! I have another way to do what I'm trying to do, I just thought it might be better to do it this way. Obviously I was wrong!
Thanks again!

Is it possible to restore lost windows? Firefox crashed, and only 5 of my open windows reopened, even though all settings are such that all should be restored.

Unfortunately when I restarted Firefox after its most recent crash, most of my open windows and tabs were not restored as they are set to do and as they usually do after a crash. Not that I enjoy Firefox crashing, but usually everything reopens and life goes on. However, after a crash tonight, when I next opened Firefox about 80% of my open windows and tabs did not reopen.
After this (most recent) crash most of my windows and tabs were not restored:
bp-e7f145b9-04cf-4de8-a4a4-8e2952130816
This was the most recent prior crash where my windows and tabs were restored:
bp-c674bdd3-e905-44c0-9bc9-6b4982130815
**I would love to have these windows and tabs reset, or at least be able to find a list of them to reopen them manually.**
I am running Firefox 23.0. My antivirus and antispyware were run overnight last night with no issues.
(This is on my desktop computer using Windows XP. I also have a laptop which runs Firefox 23.0 which uses Windows 7. Firefox on it crashes as well, but thankfully thus far the windows and tabs have been restored. I use it less than I do my desktop, however.)
Thank you very much!

Thank you -- I will do so. Still, I'm very eager to restore (or find a list of) my windows and tabs that were not restored after the last crash. Is it possible to do that from the last working restore?
The last two working restores were after the crash mentioned above, bp-c674bdd3-e905-44c0-9bc9-6b4982130815, and before that, bp-7f5b697e-c4c5-4cb8-9b15-9318c2130815.
FWIW, I just updated to 23.0.1. Thank you *very* much!

Jabber for Window, phone mode, how to disable "use my computer for calls"

We have a Citrix environment and only want to control the Cisco deskphone with Jabber for Windows in the phone mode.
We use CUCM 8.6.2 and I have installed Jabber for Windows 9.7.0 and all works fine, I can control my deskphone, make and receive calls, phonebook and Outlook integration works fine.
Is it possible to disable "use my computer for calls" as we do not want users to make calls via Citrix, but only use the deskphone for this.
Thanks, Perry

Hi Matthias,
Soft-phone mode cannot be disabled. Supported Features on Virtual Environment are the following.
Supported Features
    Instant messaging and presence with other Cisco Jabber clients
    Desk phone control
    Voicemail
    Presence integration with Microsoft Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013
We have an existing defect which is in Terminated state because feature is not supported hence cannot be fixed.

Is it possible to disable multiple logins?

Is it possible to disable multiple logins by the same user on different computers? I have network hosted user accounts. I need a way to NOT make it possible for user A to go to client Mac A, login and leave himself logged in there then go to client Mac B and login there also. This is creating some unpleasant effects on the server - naturally!
Any easy way to accomplish this? Perhaps through Profile Manager?
Thanks!

Simon,
Thanks for the reply but I need some elaboration.... "the "Login" preferences for users and groups".... what exactly are we referring to? I don't see such option (or atleast the way it's written), in either Server app or Profile Manager. Are we talking about the same OS X version?
Thanks.
P.S. Despite the fact that I have enabled the option in Profile Manager to logout all users on all computers after 30 minutes of inactivity, I have noticed that the iMac clients don't log out the users after the said time...

Is it possible to disable the 'edit layout' link on the record detail page

Is it possible to disable the 'edit layout' link on the record detail page? Not the homepages, I know there is a switch for that, but I thought there was one for the detail pages?
I want to disable this as I dont want users saving their own layouts, they must stick to the related sections defined in the default layout. The problem is that if they are to have access to certain related lists when an opportunity is of a certain type but NOT other types. If they have saved the layout (using the 'Edit Layout' link), and change the record type, they will see related sections that have been set to 'Not available' in the default layout (ie step 4) for that 'type'.

Robbo, at this time it not possible to disable the Edit Layout on the record detail page.

Is it possible to disable the screen saver for a certain app?

Is it possible to disable the screen saver just while a certain application is running?
The app seems to crash when the screen saver comes on.
Just so you know, application I'm using is Hogwasher; a newsgroup reader.

Not really. Just disable it manually when you run that application. Then, send off a bug report to the app's developer and tell him to update it for the latest Tiger. Alternatively, use another newsgroup reader.

Possible to disable crtl+alt+del button on HP Slate 500?

Hello
I was wondering if it is even possible to disable the crtl+alt+del button on HP Slate 500? As my company has me reviewing the unit to be possibly used within our company but one of the requirements is to be able to lock the tablet down. And one of the things they want is to prevent people from being able to use the crtl+alt+del to access task manager since the plan is to lock windows to one open application. But I can't see any settings in the bios to disable that button. And there are no oblivious options I can find on the Slate and the button does not appear to be controlled by a priority HP software product. The only other way I could think of doing it would be to somehow disable it from the registry.?

This can be done using the Pro version or higher of windows 7, using gpedit and/or administrative templates you can control everything a user account can do or not do.
gpedit.msc in a run command opens the group policy editor

ICloud - is it possible to disable that feature after downloading Maverick OS X?

I have a Mac desktop with OS X 10.8.5 and an iPhoto library of 10,500 photos. The version of iPhoto is 8.1.2 and there has been some 'conflict' between the two so apparently I have to first dowload the latest OS X (Maverick) so I can then down load the newest iPhoto version ( 9.5.1).
I note the iCloud feature in Maverick and am simply wondering that after I have completed the download is it possible to DISABLE the iCloud feature?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Cheers … David

The iPhoto Library can be backed to to any external HD as long as it is formatted OS X Extended (journaled). So make sure you WD SmartDrive is formatted as such. You don't need any WD software to access such a HD drive if it's formatted correctly for Macs.
Just drag the entire iPhoto Library package to the EHD for a one time backup. To keep it current you can use an external HD with Time Machine or use a backup application that can do incremental backups, i.e. backing up only new or modified files after the first full backup. Apps like Synk Pro and Chronosync can do incremental backups.

Is it possible to disable the OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES

greetings all .... is it possible to disable the OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES . i have this ....................
{ OAMessageTextInputBean bi = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("BI") ;
System.out.println("BI"+bi.getValue(pageContext));
if ((bi.getValue(pageContext)) != null)
{ pageContext.setForwardURLToCurrentPage(//"OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ap/MainPG",
null,
false, // Retain AM
OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_YES,
OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);
System.out.println( "PM");
OAApplicationModule am = (OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
String paramPR = prnum2;
Serializable paramPRParamList[] = { paramPR};
am.invokeMethod("paidManuallyUpdate", paramPRParamList);
System.out.println( " THE VALUE OF THE Cancel RB IS " + canx.getValue(pageContext));
prnum1.setValue(pageContext, "");
pReason1.setValue(pageContext , "");
//either one of these confirmations will work . i use one or the other
throw new OAException("Payment Has Been Updated To Paid Manually", OAException.CONFIRMATION);
//or
OAException msg = new OAException("Updated To Paid Manually", OAException.CONFIRMATION);
pageContext.putDialogMessage(msg);
the problem is if i include the setForwardURL my confirm messages dont work. if i dont include the setForward they work.
is there a way to do the setForwars so i can redirect the page and make the table inactive and also use the confimations. i can see its going past my system.prints. it just isnt popping up my confirmations as i believe its due to the IGNORE_MESSAGES.
any insight ....
cheers.

Hi,
SetForward*()...It lets the current page processing complete. Your following code will complete its processing, after that it will be forwarded to next page.
ForwardImmediately.... Forwards immediately without letting remaining code process.
However, a good thing is pageContext of the same page is forwarded. That means, if you did pageContext.putDialog(message), in current page, that will be forwarded in both the cases to next page. Hence, for your problem...
use putDialog method, as stated in previous post and
use forward url as CONFIRMATION, NOT AS ERROR OR IGNORE_MESSAGE.
pageContext.setForwardURLToCurrentPage(//"OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ap/MainPG",
null,
false, // Retain AM
OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_YES,
OAException.CONFIRMATION); //WHAT YOU HAVE PUT IN DIALOGS AND WANT TO SHOW IS CONFIRMATION.
Please try this.
