Is it possible to prevent the OS from dropping and deleting a network share shortcut?

One thing that has always bugged me about Mac OS is that when a network share becomes unresponsive or unavailable the shortcut on the desktop disappears and you get a glaring messaging that the share has been disconnected.
Is there any way to prevent a network share from being removed just because it becomes momentarily unavailable?
As an example, on a Windows machine the network share shortcut remains, you simply cannot use it but it is there and ready to go the moment the share comes back online. Is there some way to make OS X behave in this manner? Or is there a way to extend the time out interval for a network share?
Thanks.

Is it possible to prevent a user from creating and approving a JV

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent a user from creating and approving a JV. We have a rule that one user cannot do both. What happens is user#1 creates the JV, then some other user#9 approves the JV. Both user#1 and user#9 need to be able to create a JV and approve someone else's JV.
The transactions in question are...
F-02 General Posting - enter Journal Voucher (create & post)
F-65 Enter General Document - Parking (create)
FBV0 Post or Delete a Parked Document (approval)
Please let me know the details.
Thanks in advance,

Is it possible to prevent the history from moving entries up to the top of the list when a site is revisited, and why does it only do this sometimes?

* Sometimes the history appears to compile previous visits to a site into only the entry for the most recent visit, but other times it does not. In other words, sometimes when a site is re-visited, the history will move a previous visit to that site out of the existing chronological sequence and put it at the top. What makes the difference in whether it does this or not, and is there any way to prevent the consolidating of information this way? I am using using Firefox v.27, Windows 7.
I would like things to be in true chronological order for the possibility of accurately tracking previous activity, and for that purpose do not mind having the duplicate entries. Possible successful solutions might be in areas 1-3 below, and I would appreciate any suggestions.
1. Are there any preferences in 'about:config' that apply to this? I could not find any.
2. Are there other ways of getting this type of record, e.g. some other computer log, program, or add-on?
3. What are some of the most accurate records of one's own internet browsing activity that one can make or obtain, with or without the browser's history function, if anyone knows?
Thanks.

Firefox normally only shows the most recent visit to a specific URL, so you would have to do extra effort to make older visits visible (place:sort=4&type=1).

HT202663 How do you prevent the computer from dropping the network every time it goes to sleep?

I have a problem with the network being kicked off when any Apple device is stopped and then restarted--even if it is just in sleep mode for a few minutes. My MacBook Pro and iPad do this all the time. My husband has the same problem with his iMac. We have checked the network and the internet service. We have no idea how to fix this. It did not do this until recently, so we think it must have something to do with an update to the software, but it drives us nuts! If anyone has information to fix this, we would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

How do i prevent the ipad from dropping wifi and tethering?

I can tether my iphone 5 and ipad but when not in use the connection gets terminated and i have to do the tethering process all over again. The same thing happens with Softbank wifi hotspots, I have to re-enter username and password everytime I open the iPad.
At home the wifi connection remains stable no matter what. Why is it only tethering and wifi hotspots?

YOu could try 'settings, wifi' and turn 'ask to join networks' on and see if that limits it's push to automatically join the other network.

Prevent resource fork from being created on windows network shares

I've already seen this article on how to prevent creating ds_store files on windows machines:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301711
But I haven't seen any way (short of buying software) to prevent the resource forks from being created. OSX creates resource forks on remote network volumes that pile up, are useless to the windows users, and creates a lot of grief.
For every file copied to a windows share, OSX is putting a duplicate (unopenable) file with an underscore prefix:
_file1.psd
_file2.psd
file1.psd
file2.psd
This is kind of rude network behavior, and I'd like to stop doing it.
Isn't there some sort of terminal command similar to the .ds_store solution I posted above?

I swear I saw a hack for that somewhere, but give up after 3 hours of searching for it!

Is it possible to Extract the Data from Website?

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to Extract the Data from Website and Upload it in the SAP Table?.It is very Urgent.Please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashok.

Hi Friend,
Generaly if it is one time activity you can do it manually by copy paste in excel.
But if it is weekly or monthly activity then you have to ask website provide to provide data in excel or CSV file and upload it into SAP.
I have a situtation like this, and they (Rapaport price) provide it in CSV format with defined columns.
So it is better to raise the issue to website provider.

Is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?

I am creating a structure with tags and place holders. However, not all my entries have all the same information. For example, my first entry has a 3 line address (123 West Street, Suit 23, Lincoln NE 68521) but my second entry only has 2 line address (456 North Street, Lincoln NE 68521). When imported into my structure, the second address reads 456 North Street, <address2>, Lincoln NE 68521. My question for you is, is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?

IJWAA,
A work-around if you don't already use XSLT (to avoid having to) is to not have placeholder text, just use empty tags in your text layout that correspond to your incoming XML structure (any unused by the incoming structure IN ORDER, will be skipped). So long as you don't mind the blank line (rather than left over placeholder copy).
If you had placeholder copy in your text box (<address2> for example) look at it using the story editor window (edit > edit in story editor, or command-y/control-y) so you can see the surrounding tags... style the surrounding tags by selecting them with the cursor and applying character or paragraph styles (with text in between the tags at the time) and then delete only the placeholder text from the middle of the sandwich, leaving the tags in tact. Trying to do this without being in the story editor will not work.
Also, when importing the XML, I believe you'll still need to use "merge content" and "don't import empty white space" as you have been in order to replace placeholder text in any areas you had it.
For situations when you have a mixture of dynamic and static text in the same text block and you are merging data (more so when the placeholder text has been deleted as I've suggested above but the dynamic tags for the possible incoming text are still there), you can use a tag you've created (I call mine "staticText") in your layout to wrap ANY bits of text you don't want to accidentally delete when the surrounding tags get populated or not, using the merge option upon importing your XML. Just be sure never to use "staticText" as an actual tag in your structure or surrounding incoming data. The text contained within staticText tags in your layout will be ignored by incoming data, and won't accidentally get deleted when it's sandwiched between two sets of tags that are dynamically populated when merge content is the import option.
In my example below I'm using brackets/carats with the tag name instead of the color coded tag icon you see in the story editor, also I've used LB here to indicate a regular line break in Indesign and SP a regular space character in indesign:
[staticText>Name:<staticText][firstName>Abc<firstName][staticText>SP<staticText][lastName>Xyz<firstName][staticText>LB<staticText]
[staticText>Address:<staticText][address1><address1][staticText>LB<staticText]
[address2><address2][staticText>LB<staticText]
all other tags on following lines...
This should just leave a blank line for address2 when no data comes in for it. I'm assuming you have line breaks, if not, all the better.

Preventing the User from going back to the main page after logging out.

Hi all,
In my project I want to prevent the User from going back to the Main page, by clicking the back button of the browser, after the user has loggged out.I had invalidated the session so the user will not be able to do any operations, but he can vew the infos. I want to redirect to the login page if the user tries to go back using the back button after he has logged out.
I tried the same in this forum after loging out. Surprisingly it is the same. I can browse through all the operations i did even after logging out from here.
Is it not possible to do that in Servlets?Could somebody help?
Thanks,
Zach.

Hi,
You can use a servlet filter to do this , as it can interceptany request to your application you can decide to allow user access or not to any page/servlet.
public class Test implements Filter{
     public void destroy() {
     public void doFilter(ServletRequest arg0, ServletResponse arg1, FilterChain arg2) throws IOException,
               ServletException {
          System.out.println("filter");
          HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) arg0;
          if(!request.getRequestURI().contains("index")){ // set condition that will be checked to verify if the user is logged in
               System.out.println("redirecting ... ");
               RequestDispatcher d = arg0.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
               d.forward(arg0, arg1);
          arg2.doFilter(arg0, arg1);
     public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
}in you web.xml add :
<filter>
          <filter-name>test</filter-name>
          <filter-class>test.Test</filter-class>
     </filter>
     <filter-mapping>
          <filter-name>test</filter-name>
          <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
     </filter-mapping>

Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

No
he OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present.
How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

Is it possible to restrict the user from creating a sibling and allow him to ONLY create child nodes in DRM?

When in a hierarchy, a user right clicks on a node to crate a new node, he has two options
-Child
-Sibling
Is it possible to restrict the user from creating a sibling and allow him to ONLY create child nodes?
Business cases:
1. different level nodes need to have different prefixes.
- Thus, the default prefix property definition uses the level number to assign a prefix
- Also, a validation, to ensure the correct prefix, uses the level number
But if the user can create a child and a sibling then the default prefix will only be right for a single case and not both.
Thanks
