Is there 3rd-party app to easily disable/enable certain System Prefs?

Hi there,
For some very odd reason, one (and only one) of my System Preferences won't open/launch - - my 'Keyboard & Mouse' pref.
I've repaired disk permissions, emptied all Caches, upgraded (from 10.4.8) to 10.4.9, and nothing works.
I'd like to now see whether, if I temporarily disable my 'MouseWorks" Sys. Pref., my 'Keyboard & Mouse' pref. launches... but frankly, I don't know how to do this.
It would be great if there were a little box I could check/uncheck in the MouseWorks pref. pane, to enable or disable this Pref., but there isn't.
I could go looking for it, but I don't know where to look, or exactly what I'm looking for.
So I'm wondering if there's a little app that would simply and elegantly allow me to turn all these prefs off or on, at the check of a button.
Can anyone advise me please?
Thanks,
Malcolm

Remember after moving stuff around, deleting stuff and just doing a whole bunch of tinkering around it is always a lovely idea to run disk first aid or some other helpful app (such a onyx, http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/onyx_tiger.html) which will repair permissions and tidy things up a bit.
Good luck.

I recently purchased a 4S. I now have 2 files in my iCloud both with my name. One from my 3gs and one from my 4S. The problem is the data history of all my games and 3rd party apps did not transfer over to my 4S. Is there a way to merge the two in icloud?

I backed up my 3gs to the iCloud and when I synced my 4S, it did not transfer my game histories or my 3rd party app histories. When I look at my iCloud storage, it shows both phones under the same name. Is there a way to merge them together in iCloud? I tried adding the account to my 4S but since they are both named the same, it says I already have that account added! Help!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

No photos in Photostream, but 3rd party apps show that the photos are there

I am having a problem, not sure where to post it. Here is what is happening:
1. Take a photo with iPhone 4
2. Syncs to great up until last night
3. Last night I brought a photo into Nik's Snapseed app on my iPad (import from Photostream)
4. Now, my synced Photostream shows up on my Iphone 4, iPhoto, but the Photostream album on my iPad shows no photos.
5. However, the photos are there on the iPad, because if I use a photo editor app and import (again, like Snapseed), the photos are there and I can import. But the Apple's Photo app the album shows no photos.
Very strange....I think this has to be a bug.
Apple really needs to think about real use of Photostream. The concept is great...but I have to admit it is buggy. Adobe Carousel app, when it is released, looks ideal.
Apple, why can we not delete 1 photo (rather than the whole Photostream)?
Apple, is this a bug that we cannot import into other apps because it then blanks out our Photostream?
Apple, why do new photos from my Camera app go to my camera roll and Photostream...workflow of editing and sharing photos is very messy this way with duplicate photos.
I am not sure how I am suppose to get my photostream to show up again on my iPad. I have tried resetting my photostream, hard reset my iPad, nothing works.

Exactly the same problem here too. Its bug, because I see my photostream with a 3rd party app like PS Express.

Is there a 3rd party App to search a networked drive?

We have recently moved from archiving our graphic files on cheap external drives, to a secure server. It's a Unix based server. We can access files just fine, but we can no longer search our files! Is there a 3rd party app for Mac (Snow Leopard, Lion), tat can search networked drives?

I wouldn't recommend wasting any money on an app. If you have a Mac with iPhoto then it should be pretty easy, but if you have a PC, I would recommend creating a folder (Doesn't matter what you name it or where it is) and going to the Photos tab when you're syncing and selecting that folder. Then you'll have to go to "*My Computer*" and drag and drop the photos to that folder you created. Then you can create sub-folders and and organize all your photos. A problem is that your iPhone can only read one level of sub-folders, but that shouldn't affect this task. I hope this helps! If you still can't figure it out, then try going to an *Apple Store* and ask a "Genius" for help.

IPhone 3rd party apps won't launch anymore!

After updating the iPhone software to 3.1, a host of 3rd-party apps won't launch anymore (appear for 1 second, then revert back to the apps icons page).
I've tried upgrading to iTunes 9, uninstalling then reinstalling ALL apps on the iPhone via iTunes, hard rebooting my iPhone, restarting my iMac, etc etc, but nothing works.
On a iPhone 3Gs page on the Forums, I saw many others having similar difficulties and blaming it on the XX upgrade. One solution proposed there was to download a free app from the App Store and install it. Tried that, and it didn't work for me.
I hope Apple will give this attention, because it's basically disabled my iPhone's business-sensitive functionalities (like 1Password) on the eve of a 2week business trip ... and on business trips, I don't have my iMac with me! >:-(
In case it helps the OS is showing as 3.1 (7C144) on my device.

Hi!
I may have a solution to your problem. I updated to Firmware 3.1 today and couldn´t open any application i downloaded. I seems the updated version of iTunes handles apps a little different from before. When you connect your iPhone and it pops up in iTunes, right click on it to enter your configuration area (for the iPhone). At the top bar you have a row of options like music, pictures, podcast and somewhere in the middle you have the option "Programs". Click on that and you will see a list of all the programs you have downloaded in iTunes. Unfortunatly you have to recheck all the boxes at the left side of the program you want to be synched to your iPhone. Check these boxes and click "Apply" at the bottom right and iTunes will now transfer them to your iPhone. Easy breasy when you know how to do.
Best of luck, Cheers!

Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

Hi
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
Anybody has any solution?
Thanks in advance.

How can I forward an SMS as an email , i have doing this daily on 9900, surprised to miss this on Q10, i am ready to buy an 3rd party app also, if required, it is must for me.

1. when i read an sms, there is option to forward as email in 9900.
Since i am using Q10, i can not do this.
I need this immediately.
Anybody can help??
I am ready to buy any 3rd party app also, if it can provide this without slowing down the performance.
2. Further, i can not sms from contacts screen. There is no option to sms , when i select a contact. I have to go to SMS and there type contact name , how can i enable this?
3. If i receive a call and i want to send sms to the person, i can not tap on called no and choose and option to sms him. I have to copy that number, go to SMS app and use that no to sms. If i am in a meeting , it is long process and kill focus in meeting. In android, there is one swipe to reject call and send an sms that i am in meeting. Can we achieve this basic features in Q10..

I can forward a SMS as an email on my Q10.
open the SMS and hold down on the text, this opens a side menu with the "share" icon on it (like a Y),
Then you can select how you want to share, eg SMS, Email BBM etc.
Hope this helps?

How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it. All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this? I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
Thanks!

Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

ITunes Match and 3rd Party Apps - iPad/iPhone

With the myriad of apps out there that integrate with iTunes, why is it that nearly none of them offer support for iTunes Match? (And, a seemingly cool one that claims to offer support -- "BeatBlaster" -- http://www.beatblaster.com/ -- that has all the features I'm looking for, isn't available in the App Store in the US). I'm really surprised at the lack of information on this topic on the web... A Google search for it only pulls up articles that are 2-3 years old. The best information I could find was that the API toolset made available to developers is either really limited, or it's just not available at all... and that's in an article from 2011. Are you telling me that Apple is STILL -- 3+ years later -- limiting access to developer tools for iTunes Match integration (or just has never created any)? I understand that I'm asking about something that could be considered "outside" of Apple (3rd Party apps), but I'm just really looking for someone that might be in the know on this stuff... And, I'm hoping that that person can clue the rest of us in on "what's up".
Bottom line, I'm looking for a clock radio app that supports iTunes Match... I've got our Master Bedroom and Bath rigged up with in-ceiling speakers, attached to a bluetooth receiver, with a wall-mounted iPad serving as the "jukebox". When my dang iPad doesn't drop the WiFi connection, it's pretty slick. I'd just like to have a single app that a) offers a large, well-visible clock, b) allows me to browse my iTunes Match library of songs and play them as I'd like, and c) have a "play my iTunes music as an alarm" option. I know... directly d/l-ing songs to the iPad is an option, but it defeats the whole purpose of iTunes Match, which I subscribe to because my music library is WAY too big to fit on the iPad (or my iPhone).
Anyway, any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You'll have to ask the software makers this question. It is up to the 3rd party vendors, not Apple, to provide the features you are asking for.

How do i print sms messages from my iphone without a 3rd party app?

How do I print a complete SMS message from my iphone without using a 3rd party app?

If you have an AirPrint compatible printer, or you have a print app, then you could take a screenshot of each page of the message and then print them. Otherwise, there is no native solution to print SMS messages on the iPhone.

3rd party apps from someone other then Apple

Does anyone now if you can get 3rd party apps without jail braking and without using Apples application store. I found a website that offers apps that I really want and was very disappointed to see none of the in the Apps store and dont know why nobody made them or offered them there. For $24.99 I can get all these apps that I was really looking forward to seeing in the apps store but werent:
NES System : Nintendo with all the games
Customization : Were I can custom every aspect of the I-Phone from I-cons to backgrounds
Screen shot : A app where I can take a picture of anything that my I-Phone is viewing at that time like from a game or a website ETC.
Video Recorder : I cant believe there was no video recorder in the apples web app release it is just something every phone should have
MMS : Picture messaging, I mean I dont know how many times I recieve a picture message and have to wait till I get home to go on my computer to go to a website just to see them. How long it takes also with normal broadband just to see a simple picture.........This is a must have app
Ringtone: Now all you have to do is select a song from your music library and put it to you contacts that easy no cutting or editing it down to size, no extra programs to make them with and no money to spend to make them
Also much more that I dont feel like describing like:
Instant Messenger
YouTube Downloader
Books
VNC

Wow don't try to send a MMS to someones cell phone from the e-mail option this was a nightmare. I tried it to see if it would work and I received a message that the attempt didn't succeed so it kept trying and trying automatically. Then I get a phone call from the person I sent it to telling me it work but for me to quit sending it. I said I only sent it once then he said I have like 15 already so I check out my phone and it is really warm I looked at it and the battery went from fully full to a little less then half empty. So I am like what the heck so I go into my e-mail account and I see there is an e-mail demon meaning there was an attempt to send a e-mail but it didn't succeed. Normally when this happens it will make another try just to make sure it wasn't a service error well apparently my cell phone is continuing to retry to send the message so I have the phone trying my e-mail account trying while the person who the message is being sent to is receiving everyone........So I had to delete every message being sent on my e-mail account, I had to delete my E-mail account on my phone, and I had to shut it off for 30 minutes to see if this works it not I don't know what to do and my nightmare continues as well for the person who's phone keeps blowing up with the MMS message and I am wasting all of his text on his plan.......
Thanks for the bad advice

XML Encoding from Business One - Unable to Read in a 3rd Party APP

Hi:
I have created an Add-On app that produces an XML document file when a new item is created or an existing item is updated. However, the 3rd party app that I am trying to integrate into is unable to read this XML. After doing some research, the following appears to be the issue.
SBO produces the data with UTF-16 which is a double byte encoding for XML's. The 3rd party app that I have appears to be able to handle only single byte encoding formats such as UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.
I would like to know if there is a way in SDK to convert the output XML format to a single byte encoding such as ISO-8859-1. Can anyone please tell me how to achieve that in my Add-On code?
Thank you.
Kushal Dutta

Hi Kushal,
You can use a XLST transformation to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8.
The coding goes something like this:
XmlReader xmlRdr = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(sXML));
XmlWriterSettings xmlWtrSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
xmlWtrSettings.Encoding = Encoding.Unicode;
XmlWriter xmlWtr = XmlWriter.Create(sOutFile, xmlWtrSettings);
XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform();
xslt.Load(sTransformFile);
xslt.Transform(xmlRdr, xmlWtr);
xmlWtr.Flush();
xmlWtr.Close();
xmlRdr.Close();
Where sXML is the XML string generated by the SBO GetAsXML method, sOutFile is the path and filename where the transformed XML will be created and sTransformFile is the path of the XLST file.
Assuming that you wish to retain the same XML structure as before, the XLST file should look something like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">

          </BO>
          </xsl:for-each>
     </BOM>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The above example shows a XLST transform for the sales order document type. This example is for use with the xet_ValidNodesOnly setting for the XmlExportType company property. If you are using a different XmlExportType setting then the XLST will be slightly different but the principal is the same. For simplicity, I have shown only a cut-down list of the fields from the sales order but other fields and tables can be included (assuming that they are in the original XML from SBO).
Kind Regards,
Owen
P.S. Sorry for the lack of indentation on the XML file. It was there when I created this post but the forum removes the indentation.

After upgrade 3rd party apps are looking for serials

Not wanting to jeopardize my Mavericks install, I cloned my main HD and after checking that the cloned drive did boot, I installed Yosemite to it. Despite all my apps showing up in the application folder, some won't open and some are requesting I reinstall the serial numbers. I used Carbon Copy and asked it to clone all files. Are there hidden files it missed or is this requirement to reregister all the 3rd party apps. normal?

Same problem here too!! Here's my Log:

Backing Up 3rd Party Apps

Hello,
I tried searching this...maybe I didn't put in the right string of words...How does one go about backing up 3rd party apps. I have gotten that Error 523 or whatever it is...where I basically have to reinstall everything on my phone. I can usually pull the email/contacts/messages backup off my computer but I don't know how to specifically back up my 3rd party apps.
Also, since I am asking anyway...is there anyway to wipe my phone completely using desktop manager? I have heard people say they use JL commander or whatever...I'm unfamiliar with that program and was wondering if there was a way through DM before I search out another program.
I appreciate the help in advance.
