Is there any danger in setting the system date/time to a prior date?

We are dealing with some software digital certificate expiration issues. Until the developer gets them fixed, the only way we can use the software is to set the date/time preferences to a date before the certificate expired. Some users are concerned that this will spell catastrophe for their systems because Unix/Linux based things don't like haivng their dates messed with. I maintain that the only things that would be affected are the date/time stamp on files they save while the settings are changed, possibly any iCal events created during the change (which can be overwritten by the user), and that if they use Time Machine the backups might not be dated correctly (and for that reason I've suggested they shut Time Machine off while their date is changed). I just don't believe it will lead to massive system failure. Who is correct?

Yes you will have issus with DHCP leases/Internet and your router if your time and date isn't current.
Offline you can do what you want. Better to get a temporary workaround from the developer to hold you over.

Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?

We have ConfigMgr 2012 in our environment. We are in EST.
Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.

Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

No, but it will not work. The iPod does not have an amplifier in it that is powerful enough to drive the speakers in your car.
So, do you have a stereo in the car, either factory fitted or one you have had fitted after it came out of the factory? If you do, check to see if the car's stereo either has a dedicated input for an iPod or an auxilary (aux input) socket.
Some modern cars (for example, my 2006 model Mazda 3) have stereos that can be fitted with iPod connectors. I paid to have one fitted to my Mazda's factory-fitted stereo. So now, I connect my iPod to the car's stereo via a dock connector and I have limited control of the iPod from the car's steering wheel. Some cars have more sophisticted control than mine does.
Alternatively, if the car's stereo has an Aux input socket, you only need to buy a headphone-to-headphone lead and connect from the iPod's headphone socket to the Aux input.
If you don't have either of those options, another method is to use a transmitter. These small radio transmitters are connected into the headphone socket of the iPod and then transmit the audio (like radio) so that you can tune your car's radio to the same frequency as the transmitter. You control the iPod as you do when using headphones. The sound quality will porbably not be as good as the dedicated dock connector method, but it's reasonable.

Is there any way to use the system font?

Firefox for Android uses a font that is not the default Android system font (Roboto), and I would much prefer to use that font. Is there any way to change the font Firefox for Android uses?

Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release. Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
Now Pages will open these files. Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages?
(Instead of me going to the trouble of finding out where they are actually located on the hard drive so that I can open pages and say - here, open this file--even though you didn't create it--)

Click on a .doc file and type Cmnd I to open Get Info. In the Open with: menu select Pages, then click on Change All…

Is there any way to customise the system generated packing slip?

Hi All,
My customer would like to be able to add a few field to the system generated packing slip. I can see where to update things on the invoice in system emails, but couldn't see anywhere for the packing slip?
Also there's a few random bits that get printed on the invoice that aren't part of the system invoice. Any idea how to remove? My client is printing from Chrome. See below:

Thanks for replying @thetrickster888,
Tried all 4 tags but none showed the phone or email on the packing slip
{tag_addressbilling}
{tag_addressshipping}
{tag_recipientaddress}
{tag_emailaddress}
We use a pretty standard Registration-buy form and have the phone line as:
<td><label for="HomePhone">Phone Number </label><br />
<input type="text" maxlength="255" class="cat_textbox" id="HomePhone" name="HomePhone" /></td>
But still doesn't show on the packing slip. I don't know what else to do.
I can get them all to show on the invoice but not the packing slip. The only thing I can think of is to give the factory the invoice - but then it's not set up well enough for them to mark off the checks when it's made and packed (we have special boxes on the packing slip for this) plus then they can see pricing which we try to avoid.

Is there any way to set the height of choice list or list of values?

Hello Everyone,
(Jdeveloper: 11.1.2.1.0)
I recently created a page with some fields as choice lists and some as list of values. Somehow the choice list when opened it is not displaying data properly (I have 3 rows, it is showing only 2 rows and have to scroll to see third row) . I would like to see if there is any way to set this so that I can see all three rows or set the height of choice list as a fixed height?
Thanks,
Ravi Nuka.

Is there any way to set the inspector in Pages to default with your personal settings?

Every time I want to use Pages I have to use the inspector to indicate if I want a header and footer or not. That is getting annoying. I would like to be able to set margins and if I want the header and footer or not and then make these the default settings. Is there any way to do this?

It appears to me after tinkering around that I can set a page like I want it and then save it as a template. I did so to a folder in Finder. Now the only way I can automatically bring up "default" settings on a Pages blank document is to go directly to that file in Finder and open it from there, not from Pages itself. Is there any other way to do this?

Is there any way to set the iPhone 4s Calendar to display holidays?

I was just wondering if there might be a way to set the iPhone 4s calendar to display holidays?

If you want US holidays, you can add a subscribed calendar to your phone as described here: http://www.knowyourcell.com/apple/apple-iphone-4/iphone-4-guides/506391/how_to_a dd_us_holidays_to_your_iphone_4_calendar.html. Then in iCal on your phone, tap Calendars (upper left) and make sure the US Holidays calendar is checked, then tap Don (upper right).

Is there any value in partitioning the system drive?

I've always set up my computer with a system drive for the OS and Programs and then a RAID 0 for video capture.
However, I found this link which suggests that it might be better to partition the "system drive" for better performance. Does anybody partition, their system drive?
http://partition.radified.com/partitioning_2.htm
John Rich

NO !!!
One physical drive has one set of read/write heads
When you partition a drive, that one set of read/write heads now has to do double the work to navigate two areas
The only time you might want to partition a drive is to have a dual boot... and then each OS is completely separate from the other and that set of read/write heads is still only working in one space

Is there any way to limit the number of times that a PDF can be opened?

I run a small publishing company and we want to provide exam copies of our books to professors. At present our exam copies have the words EXAM COPY as a water mark on every page and we've also made the files so that they can't be printed or easily copied. However, we'd like to also restrict these PDFs so that they can only be opened 5 times. I've read about FileOpen but that approach seems a bit more complex than needed. Is there any other way to restrict the number of times that a PDF file can be opened once it is downloaded? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

DRM soltions like FileOpen are your best bet for PDFs. Others include Adobe's LiveCycle Rights Managment, LockLizard, Armjisoft PDF Security OwnerGuard, etc.
They all work and are priced differently, but there's really nothing for what you want to do that is both simpler and secure.

I lost my iphone 4 yesterday , is there any way to destroy the system of it using the serial number? Also , Can thieves access my photos or private things even if there was a passcode on my iphone?!

Please help me ,I am really worried !

If they do restore it in iTunes, that process is going to wipe all your content from it, so your information would be gone. Yes, they can then go on and use your device as theirs, but your information is wiped from it at that point.
For future reference, along with the passcode, you can set it to erase everything after 10 failed passcode attempts. As long as you have regularly sync'd content back to your computer and maintained an up to date backup, you have safeguarded your content for your own recovery and use.
And in iOS 7 an iCloud account and find my phone activation is worth it just for Activation Lock, even if you don't care about any other iCloud features (all of which you can simply disable and not use if you choose to).
