Is it possible to stop Parental Controls from warning about syncdefaultsd and IMRemoteURLConnection?

This is driving me batty.
syncdefaultsd and IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent relentlessly cause Parental Controls to pop up a warning message about how it's being helpful in restricting these websites.
The addresses are what appear to be rolling IP addresses (https://17.151.236.38, https://17.151.236.39, etc.) I swear I try to whitelist these, but they do not ever show up in the whitelist after I've authorized it. And 100 new IPs will cycle through next time anyway, so what good is that?
The whole concept of this dialog box baffles me. I can only imagine that no one at Apple has ever used this functionality and has seen how obtrusive it is to anyone trying to work with the computer. It appears, steals focus away from whatever app is in the foreground, and then when it is dismissed, does not return focus to the window the user was using!
Is there a writedefaults command to turn this annoying box off, and usage logs I can scan for IPs to add?

I'm having this problem as well. If I turn on 'try to limit websites automatically' I get an endless list of IP addresses and even if I allow them the same ones seem to reappear. Browsing becomes impossible and I see this has been going on since Mountain Lion, disastrous. To get round it I have started to use OpenDNS to filter websites and give my (older) children a standard account. It's not ideal as Open DNS will try to filter any computer using the external IP and their DNS settings but you can use different DNS settings on your own computer.

Can I stop Windows 7 from warning about security on every linked PDF?

I am working on a project for which I have created one central document (an index) and 120 linked documents. Each document, on every page, has links to the next alphabetical document and back to the central index. This project will be distributed on disc to people with unknown computer platforms.
I am a Mac user, and this works well on my iMac using Adobe Reader. It also works on my ancient Windows XP machine. A tech friend has looked the project over, and he says that on Windows 7 (used by more than half of computer users), every time a document links to a new document, Windows 7 throws up a warning about PDF security hazards. With a large number of documents to open, this could be tiresome.
Is there a way to stop Windows 7 from warning about security on every linked PDF?
This tech person recommends joining all the PDFs into one file (around 50 MB by his estimate), which would require relinking every current link.
Acrobat offers to do the same with its Portfolio, but I'm not fond of the graphic styles offered, and I worry that one large file might be a challenge for older machines.
Any suggestions?

Can you get a screen shot of this error message or at least the exact wording? I suspect the error message is being displayed by Reader/Acrobat and not Windows.

Turn on airplane mode.
That turns off the cellphone network so no-one can call you.

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

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

If the images are exactly the same size then make sure the layer with the mask
is the active layer and in the other documents go to Select>Load Selection and choose
your document with the layer mask under Source document and under channel choose the layer mask.
After the selection loads press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

Can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

Hi. Can I use my iPhone without causing internet-costs? I have got a prepaid-card and my iPhone uses the internet all the time - that costs a lot of money. So can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

Find My Phone REQUIRES an internet connection in order to work. Either WiFi or Cellular Data. So, if you turn off Cellular data, you're defeating Find My Phone.

Getting warnings from safari about spyware and adware ?

My iMac just popped up a screen while i was in pintrest and froze . It had on it a warning about spyware and possible adware, virus in my computer.
It also read to call a 1-888 number to rectify this issue. This also stated it was from safari (windows)
Has anybody experienced this?

What do you think of this Adwaremedic? It is saying that my firefox has a problem and that I should turn off my com and reboot
It sounds like AdwareMedic probably found a variant of Conduit (aka Trovi, aka SearchProtect) on your computer, in which case it will give you a warning that Firefox may have been compromised. This is a generic warning, and it will be given whether you have Firefox installed or not. (That's something I've been meaning to change, but haven't gotten around to it yet.)
As for why it's telling you to reboot, some of the items that were removed must require a reboot in order to fully disable and remove them. If AdwareMedic tells you to reboot after removing adware, you should do so. Choose Restart from the Apple menu.

Remote Parental Controls from 10.6 incompatible with 10.7 client

All,
This weekend I was wresting with getting Parental Controls setup on my Neice's MBP which is running Lion, no problem I have that working. But I wanted to setup my Sister's iMac which is running Snow Leopard as the remote admin machine. Unfortunately as it turns out Apple has made a number of changes in kerberos from Snow Leopard to Lion which makes them incompatbile and the iMac will refuse to connect to the Lion machine. It'll just sit there for a few mins spinning its wheels, then finally comes back and says invalid username or password..
Here's a snip from the MBP's logs:
3/25/12 12:56:05.682 AM
odproxyd
peer appears to be running Mac OS X 10.6 or earlier
3/25/12 12:56:05.682 AM
odproxyd
got error 1101
3/25/12 1:02:29.582 AM
odproxyd
peer appears to be running Mac OS X 10.6 or earlier
3/25/12 1:02:29.582 AM
odproxyd
got error 1101
I'm guessing there is no work around for it, but curious if others have experienced this, and if they know of a possible workaround?
The funny thing is that screen sharing and everything works just fine, just can't manage the Parental Controls..
I think the only 'fix' is to upgrade everything to Lion, but why not ask, and maybe someone will find this post and will be saved from countless hours of hair pulling!
Regards,

I know this is a dated thread, but since I'm seeing the same behavior currently, I didn't see any reason to start up a new one w/ the exact same symptoms. I rebuilt a MacBook w/ a 10.6.6 installer and was surprised to find that most updates from my 10.6.8 Server SUS were not "visible" to the client, including the 10.6.8 v1.1 combo updater.
This may be a larger issue w/ Apple's catalogs (which I believe are causing 10.5.8 Leopard SUS to bail out w/ an error when checking for new updates), as pointing to another 10.6.8 server on another network entirely results in the same problem. I'm not missing ALL of the updates on the MacBook, just MOST of them, your Safari 5.1.7 above included. Another is GarageBand 6.0.5. So, for comparison, on a 10.8 test Server SUS, I downloaded and enabled both of those updates and pointed the MacBook to it. They show up immediately on the MacBook.
Are any of you experiencing this currently? And if so, do you have any points of comparison on other SUS machines by chance? Again, I'm thinking this has something to do w/ the upstream catalogs that Apple is putting out.
Thx,
Fred

Is it possible to create data control from wsdl when complextype is used

Getting DCA-40015 error when trying to create a data control from WSDL file.
The error clearly says complextype is not supported . just trying to see if there are any workarounds . because creating data control will save time in developing user interface by dragging and dropping the the data control in jsf page. jdeveloper webservice tester is able to create user interface for me based on wsdl when i run it , trying to develop the user interface using jsf pages
oracle.adf.model.adapter.AdapterException: DCA-40015: Failed to create the structure for schema element "result". The complex type definition of the element is not supported.

Hi,
I could reproduce what I did:
- created WebService from custom Pojo Model
- Made sure all entities implemented serializable
- In the WebServices Wizard, I created XML representations for my entities
- tested with OC4J WebServices tester
- Built ADF data control from WSDL file of deployed WebService
- Created dependency t project containing the POJO entities
- Selected result.xml of each method exposed in the WebService project
- In the structure window, selected "item" (result-->item)
- changed Bean class to my entity class name (absolute name)
This showed my entity in the DC palette

How do you stop Mountain Lion from making endless copies and backups of everything?!

I already have a similar topic on this when I needed to figure out how to stop Mountain Lion from making endless copies of my text edit files and I was going to try the disabling of it that someone in that thread suggested, but I can't find where the Versions backups are being stored.
Anyway, tonight I cam across a new problem, when I went into "about this Mac" and looked at my Storage, I had almost 1gb of data in the "backups" section. I just happened to have Finder open when I went into the Time Machine in the status bar and when it entered Time Machine, I had dozens of copies of my desktop. Thing is, I don't have my Time Machine hard drive connected and I don't have a Time Capsule router/hard drive. And don't give me this garbage about how "It's not real backups, it's just a snapshot" or whatever, because the ONLY things that I have stored on my computer that I have altered since I got mountain lion is two Text Edit files and the Finder Desktop (and yes, I have checked almost all the programs I use, and of the things that Time Machine will open in, those are the only things that have backups listed that I can access) and almost 1gb is being taken up completely needlessly with the computer backing up things onto itself. Obviously these are more than just snapshots and are obviously the real files because after throwing EVERYTHING on my desktop into a file, that file is only 3.8mb in size, so that almost 1GB in backups is coming from SOMEWHERE.
The solution I aluded to in my first sentence also depends on going into the Terminal to make each individual app stop auto saving Versions, however, since my desktop is being backed up, there's no program to stop Mountain Lion from doing that.
Can anyone help me figure out how to make it stop backing up? Seriously, almost 1 gb is being totally wasted on a series of desktop items that are 3.8mb in size, one Text Edit file that is 250kb in size, and another text edit file that is 41kb in size. What person in Apple would possibly have thought this endless backing up of files onto the main hard drive would have been a good idea? So in a year if I did nothing but go on the internet, save one picture to one file on my desktop and did nothing else with my computer, would I have 200 gb of desktop backups that the computer saved onto itself? Are you kidding me? OR failing that, can anyone tell me how to find this damned backup file and delete it? I'm not an idiot, I know how to plug in a hard drive or flash drive and backup my information, I don't need my computer to be making hundreds of copies of every single file on my computer that I change slightly onto itself that not only needlessly eats up it's own space, but if the hard drive died, all those "backups" would be gone too because it wrote the backups to itself.
I am so frustrated by this totally ridiculous and wasteful "feature" they put in, it does nothing but waste hard drive space with it's hundreds of copies of everything you alter slightly. And I am absolutely not starting any video editing projects until I figure out how to turn this off. If around 4mb of total text and desktop backups add up to almost 1gb in a few weeks, what the heck is a video editing project going to end up in with size? Am I the only one completely flustered by this ridiculousness? Is there any point in writing into Apple to complain or are they just going to say "No, we're brilliant, we think this is an amazing feature so you just have to deal iwth it and when your hardd drive fills up, too bad, jerk!"?? Help! Thanks!

Well as I pointed out in my post, "Sadly, my Text Edit documents are still all there, every single time I opened them and made a small change, there is another copy stretching all the way back to the day I installed Mountain Lion." so if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will concede that it is a good idea. Short of that, no I have been capable of making my own backups since I was 16 years old (16 years ago) I don't need my computer to endlessly do it for me in a way I am completely unable to shut off. That's what I have external hard drives, flash drives, a DVD burner, Drop Box, E-mail (as in emailing copies to myself) and icloud for. If I am doing something and I don't have access to a single one of those options, I don't know why I brought my computer with me in the first place. And I don't see how you can say it's an illusory gain in disk space, hundreds of copies of text documents, garageband files, Final Cut files, Motion Files and basically any program that makes files onto my comptuer that I can myself make incremental changes to, those all need to be stored somehow. Again, if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will agree with you that that is a good thing because IF it only saved for a week, it wouldn't be an issue. Sadly, no matter how many links you post, I still have text edit backups stretching from today back to July 26. They're not going away and I have no reason to beleive any other file I edit is going to go away either since they haven't been. They're all there eating up HD space and this imaginary "week" limit is simply not coming into effect. I hate it and there needs to be a simple way to simply shut it off. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on external drives just for my main hard drive to be filled up with hundreds un useless, undeletable backups of stuff I already have backed up.

How do I stop Windows 7 from searching hidden files and folders

In XP it was simple with the intuitive Advanced Search Options.
Even if you enable "Don't show Hidden Files and Folders" in Windows 7, they still show up in the search menu. A similar post included a suggestion by a support dude to post a question here. I've searched for every possible solution and yet something so simple appears to be non existent. Has Microsoft just lost its mind with omitting this feature? Is this something that will never be solved? Indexed or not, hidden files and folders still appear in Search.
Thanks

what have you setup in Explorer->Organize->Folder & Search Options?
Don't show hidden and Hide: Empty, Protected, etc. all ticked
if you have at some stage indexed all those system folders, and subsquently removed those from the index scope, then you may need to rebuild the index so those results are not presented by searches?
i've assumed that you are getting things like \windows included, and this seems to be typical. perhaps because some common tools like notepad, wordpad etc reside in those folders.
have you checked out the Indexing Options?
from memory, "don't show hidden & system" really only obscures the stuff when you're browsing in explorer. the indexing engine doesn't respect that kind of setting. you'll need to get your indexing scope worked out to affect the search results presented.
I'm not concerned much with indexing, it's just amazing that there is no option to stop "Search" from searching hidden files and folders when "Don't show hidden" is checked - the way it was with XP, etc. As I understand it whether folder is indexed or not, will not stop "SEARCH" from searching them. It was quite simple in XP but in Windows 7 it seems it is impossible.

Possibility to abort the execution from within the PreUUT and MainSequence

Hello,
This is probably a TS newbie question that most of you can answer right away!
I'm using the sequential model to develop my test. I cannot figure out how to do terminate the execution from within the PreUUTLoop or MainSequence callback.
In the PreUUT you can manipulate the parameter ContinueTesting to indicate to the process model that you want to stop testing.
For the PreUUTLoop and MainSequence callback this parameter is not available.
I could modify the process model itself to also supply me this parameter for the PreUUTLoop and the MainSequence. (and check for it on return from these callbacks)
But, I was wondering, is there another (maybe even better) way to do this?
Thanks for the help!
noxus.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
One extra question:
- From the PreUUTLoop callback it is working fine. (immediately stops the execution)
- From the MainSequence callback I still get the popup message "Next UUT" or "Terminate". Can I avoid this popup message and just Terminate the execution? (preferably without modifying the process model)
or, another alternative is that I disable the "Test UUT" entry point and only allow the user to select "Single Pass". Is that possible? Is it possible to disable the "Test UUT" entry point for the sequential process model?

Thunderbird stopped downloading emails from the web server and now when I try to add a new account I get a message to say it cannot find the email server.

Thunderbird was working and then for no reason it stopped downloading emails from the web server. I can access my emails in the web server okay. I have tried to remove my account and then add it again as a new account but I get a message saying that Thunderbird cannot find the email server. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird but with the same result. I have also tried to remove the default mail server but have been unable to do so. How can I fix this?

I figured out a workaround.... Since I can get e-mails to populate via iSync and my other computer is running Leopard (it's a powerpc chip and can't run Snow Leopard), I added the account on the other computer and got the new account to populate into my SL machine with iSync. I don't like that I can't actually add the account directly, but at least this got me working.
