Launch Pad filled up with with files
Hi Everyone,
I just updated my iMac with the latest suite of automatic upgrades and now launch pad has 100s to 1000s of files in it. What happend and how do I get rid of all this junk?
Scrolling through the launch pad just crashed my computer.
Thanks,
Mark
Launchpad is just a mirror of what is in your /Applications folder . If you have tons of programs installed, then naturally they will all show up in Launchpad, including all the subfolder contents of so called "unnecessary" mini-apps ( for instance all the Adobe Uninstallers and Diagnosis-Tools if you have Photoshop installed ) .
What you can do, is to organize Launchpad this way : drag one app's icon onto another to create folders ( much like you would do in iOS ) - these modifications then are only valid for the Launchpad view and will not be reflected in your Finder's /Application folder.
If you still find that there is stuff you definately not have in your /Applications folder, I would suggest a disk utility permission fix on your Mac's harddrive plus a cache cleaning ( for example using commercial Lion Cache Cleaner app or the free Onyx app - both of them are available , search google. )

We have a software application that programmatically launches the default web browser using the Windows shell execute function ("ShellExecuteA" in the "shell32.dll" library of the Windows API) along with a file path for a saved local html file that is to be displayed. In the case that FireFox is the default browser and the file path for the html file contains any space characters in the html file's file name, Firefox (in this case v7.01) will display an error message "File not Found..." and then will also proceed to open tabs for each of the individual words in the file name, launching as the URL path, each individual word appended to ".com".
In the following example, the path "C:\KSSecOfState\Forms\Kansas Secretary of State - Filings and Forms.htm" when launched programmatically, resulted in the error message "File not Found...Firefox can't find the file at /C:/KSSecOfState/Forms/Kansas." and opened up browser windows for "http://www.secretary.com/", "http://www.of.com/", "http://www.state.com/", "http://www.and.com/", and attempted to launch "http://forms.htm". If the same file (renamed) is launched using the path string "C:\KSSecOfState\Forms\KansasSecretaryOfState-FilingsAndForms.htm" the file opens up correctly in Firefox. Clearly the presence of spaces in the file name is causing the problem.
I should also note that either path (with or without space characters) works properly if pasted directly into the Firefox URL path menu bar for a live instance of Firefox. The test path strings I used were:
C:\KSSecOfState\Forms\KansasSecretaryOfState-FilingsAndForms.htm
C:\KSSecOfState\Forms\Kansas Secretary of State - Filings and Forms.htm
Does anyone know anything about this problem or how to work around it (other than the obvious answer of taking the spaces out of the file name which is not possible for this application). It seems the problem is specific to Firefox. IE works properly if launched programmatically with spaces in the file name passed to it. I haven't tested other browsers yet.
Thanks!If starting from ShellExecute works the same as starting from the command line then there are two options:<br>
Put everything inside double quotes<br>
'''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\>'''firefox.exe '''"c:\test\svg test.htm"'''<br>
Convert to a valid url with file:// protocol and percentage-escaping the space<br>
'''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\>'''firefox.exe '''file://c:\test\svg%20test.htm'''<br> -

YMHi Yuri,
the problem with the ConfigComponent also should be fixed with Hotfix 1 (also worked for me).
See note 792995: Major problems fixed with this Patch 27 Hotfix 1: [...] Config : After upgrading to Portal SP2 Patch 27 the configuration iView did not work.
Hope it helps

What am I missing? I've got alerts that should pop up if it works and if it fails but instead it does nothing, I'm sure its possible to create an array that is made up of all the file names of a folder. In the past I've had to enter all the values one a time and some of these folders have 200+ files in it.
#target illustrator
filltotesTempArr
function filltotesTempArr()
var toteTemparray = new Array(toteTemps)
var toteTempPath = Folder ("S:/Illustrator JS Palette/Direct Template Calls/Totes");
var allFiles = artPath.getFiles(order);
var toteTemps
if (allFiles.length > 0)
for (i=0;i<allFiles.length;i++)
toteTemps = toteTemps + app.open(allFiles[i] )
}//end for
alert("Your array has the current values:" + toteTemps);
}//end if
else
alert("Script to fill Totes Templates Array has failed");I need to take all the files inside of a folder, and put their file names in an array like this;
var totesarr1= new Array ("A165331","A165332","A165333","A165334","A165337","A165338","A165344","A165348", "A165349",

var toteTemparray = new Array(toteTemps)
var order = new RegExp(input);
var toteTempPath = Folder ("S:/Illustrator JS Palette/Direct Template Calls/Totes");
var totetempnames = toteTempPath.getFiles();
var totetemps = new Array ()
var allFiles = toteTempPath.getFiles();
if (allFiles.length > 0)
for (i=0;i<allFiles.length;i++)
toteTemps = toteTemps + "," + app.open(allFiles[i])
}//end for
alert("Your array has the current values:" + toteTemps);
}//end if
else
alert("Script to fill Totes Templates Array has failed");
alert ("Script is Done")
but even this dosn't work like it should
#target Illustrator
GetTempNames;
function GetTempNames ()
var toteTempPath = Folder ("S:/Illustrator JS Palette/Direct Template Calls/Totes");
var toteTempNames = toteTempPath.getFiles()
var totetemparr = new Array ( toteTempNames )
alert ("script is done get ready");
alert ("Here " + totetemparr);
so now I'm at a loss -
I am new to Apple/MacBook this year, so far I am just plain frustrated. My harddrive keeps filling up with "other" files and I dete them and they always come back from using apple mail. I have used tech support and filters but it still happens over and over. Any help here? I would SO appreciate it!
Boot in safe mode by shutting down, then restarting and holding down the shift key, keeping it down until you see the Apple logo on the display. Safe mode is slow to boot and run.
While in safe mode, use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up a lot of space:
OmniDiskSweeper - Products - The Omni Group
Don't launch any other applications. After completing this test, and deleting some files, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.) -
I'm trying to load sharepoint script from *.cmd file.
I have Sharepoint 2010 installed on Windows 7 x64 and SQL server 2008r2.
My cmd file is:
Powershell -v 2 -NonInteractive -NoLogo -File 1.ps1
My sharepoint file 1.ps1 is:
$snapin="Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
if ($action -eq $null -or $action -eq '')
{<br />
# Action by default is complete uninstallation.
$action='uninstall'
$uninstall = $true
else
$action = $action.ToLower()
switch($action)
{ $_ -eq "uninstall" } { $uninstall = $true; break }
{ $_ -eq "removesolution" } { $removeSolution = $true; break }
{ $_ -eq "deactivatecorpus" } { $deactivateCorpus = $true; break }
{ $_ -eq "deactivatesupport" } { $deactivateSupport = $true; break }
default { Write-Host -f Red "Error: Invalid action: $action "; Exit -1 }
Check the Sharepoint snapin availability.
if (Get-PSSnapin $snapin -ea "silentlycontinue")
Write-Host "PS snapin $snapin is loaded."
elseif (Get-PSSnapin $snapin -registered -ea "silentlycontinue")
Write-Host "PS snapin $snapin is registered."
Add-PSSnapin $snapin
Write-Host "PS snapin $snapin is loaded."
else
Write-Host -f Red "Error: PS snapin $snapin is not found."
Exit -1
$url = "http://pc1/sites/GroupWork/"

$templates= $site.GetWebTemplates($loc)
foreach ($child in $templates){ write-host $child.Name " " $child.Title}<br />
$site.Dispose()
The script works fine from the Sharepoint 2010 management shell after launching the shell from the start menu (or from windows cmd by entering powershell -v 2):

Please help me. I don't understand why the script is launched from the sharepoint management shell but doesn't work from the cmd file.I have an answer for my problem: for solving a problem I've made several steps:
1. Run farm installation under AD admin credentials - runas /user:Domain1\DomainAdmin1 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\psconfigui.exe".
This user has been added as farm administrator in the wizard.
This user has been added as DBO in the SQL Server. (This is the main difference with my previous attempts)
2. Execute a command Add-SPShellAdmin Domain1\UserAccount1 in
the Management Shell of Sharepoint.
3. Run SQL server and add Sharepoint_Shell_Access to the Domain1\UserAccount1
(my main account) in the Config database
4. Run CMD file only from Start->Run menu.
runas /user:Domain1\UserAccount1 "C:\1.cmd".
Do not use Total Commander command prompt or file list for executing *.cmd of *.bat files without root administrator account.
Thanks all for help. -
I tried to manually clear my Time Machine back up drive (a La Cie) of some of the older backups. But now the Trash is filled with files (over 130,000) and it doesn't seem to want to trash them - it's taking forever!! how do I get rid of them now in a quicker way?

Problem with Collaboration Launch Pad
Hi all,
We have a problem with collaboration launch pad, when one user access it, always appear offline.
Status is automatic for all portal users.
We have configured RTC following documentation in help.sap
Can somebody help us?
Best regards.
Gabriel Garcia.Hi Robert,
We are using Netweaver 7.00 SP9 with same version for Enterprise Portal and KM.
We were searching more information about our problem in SDN and SAP Notes but we couldn´t find any solution.
Thanks for your response.

My Time Machine is turned off but my system startup drive keeps filling up with backup files in a hidden volume. How can I stop this? When Time Machine was turned on, the destination was set to an external drive. I was completely confused about what was happening until I used Houdini to reveal the hidden volume. I have no idea how it got created or why it keeps filling up with no backup application running to my knowledge. Thanks.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Download this, or a similar tool if you prefer:
OmniDiskSweeper - Products - The Omni Group
Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, possibly including wireless networking.
Does your boot volume continue to fill up? Use the above tool to explore the volume and find out where the space is going. -
Server filling up with hidden .indexed file
My Xserve has 3 80GB drives. When it was set up originally, I took two of the drives and mirrored them and had the third drive as a stand alone drive. I wanted to remove the mirror, so I started up in target disk mode and used a piece of software to copy the contents of the mirror to the third 80GB drive.
That all seemed to work just fine, but now the startup drive keeps filling up completely with a file called .indexed that is located in the Library/Preferences folder. If I delete it, everything works fine for a while, but it just happened again in about a week.
Does anyone know why this would be happening, what that file is and how I might go about fixing the problem? Does anyone think that my method for removing my mirror caused this issue?
Thanks for any help...I have a Windows 2008 R2 DHCP server that is filling up with BAD_ADDRESS entries. I cannot ping the ip address associated with the entry. I have looked on numerous discussion boards and have not found an answer to my problem.

Launch Pad issues with Mavricks
I upgraded to Mavricks 10.9 when it was released. I have a Macbook Air 13" Late 2010 model. After upgrading to Mavricks, I noticed that my Launch Pad Icons are all missing. I'll I see is text.
Any clues to a fix?
Thanks!
KirkI figured it out. Go to Applications> Launchpad.app > Contents > and delete info.plist & version.plist XML files and reboot. These files are regenerated the next time you add or modify the Launchpad.
Thanks!

MSS: Launch Pad with projects and orders
Hi!
We'd implemented a scenario in our MDT for reporting projects and orders which are assigned to employees in OrgManagement.
This works fine.
We are now implementing MSS (ERP2005 and EP7). We have implemented data and object provider, new column groups, but when starting the report from the launch pad, there are only employees selectable. Is there anything else to do?
Thanks for any hints!

AS above states the computer seems to run normally as far as turning it on, tabs & pages are fine. But I can't access the system to delete some files.. Which is what the 'error' keeps saying everytime I tr and download a helpful link/app or software.. The instal disc that seems to be stored on the comp says its mountain lion 10.8 install disk 'read only' & this is the only disc it gives me to select to startup.. I have the full software on USB as its very large.. So .. PLEASE TELL ME finally,
HOW to ... Access comp files to delete required memory for software install?? If this is the best option..
HOW to ... Erase everything on computer & install 10.8 via USB?
And when or what enables me to see and use this computer correctly..ie, launch pad? Etc..
PLease reply back in 'normal terms' as I'm already exceeding my boundaries of imac knowledgeFirst: no, you cannot use someone else's install DVD unless it is a retail version; all others are machine specific. It will not work and would be illegal.
Is this what you bought?
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_cd_2.0_20.html
IF that is correct, then you are not on 10.8 because the highest OS it can go to would be 10.6
So, you'd either need the original install disks (preferred) or buy a retail Snow Leopard (10.6) - that is as high as you can go with that machine. And, your maximum RAM is 2 GB, so you couldn't go higher with the OS because of that either because it would not run well on 2 GB.
If you do get 10.6, then I'd suggest increasing the RAM to the max. of 2 GB.
If this is not the machine you got (maybe the seller just used any old box), then I'd suggest taking it to an Apple store/Genius Bar to have them sort out how to get out of this mess. -
Grid with File Preview (custom layout) in Acrobat X Pro Portfolios
In Acrobat 9 Pro, there was a Portfolio layout called Grid with File Preview. We use it as our primary layout for PDF portfolios because it allows users to rapidly view PDFs within a portfolio. This was our primary reason for using Portfolios. Unfortunately, this important feature was removed in Acrobat X Pro resulting in clunky and very slow PDF viewing within a portfolio.
Is there a custom layout which emulates Grid with File Preview?
Thanks in advance.PDF Portfolios arrived out of the blue with Acrobat 9 and have been somewhat of an experiment - Acrobat contains some to get you started, but by also releasing the SDK it was hoped that the Flex programming community would have provided an ecosystem to support Acrobat users who wanted more choice - so just as you can buy or download hundreds of templates for websites, you could find them for Portfolios too.
Unfortunately it hasn't happened, and the technological landscape has changed dramatically in the past three years - the rise of HTML5, dominance of tablets/iOS, security concerns and Adobe's repositioning of Flash in the marketplace have all affected the commercial viability of Flex as a career, and consequently the availability of free third-party Portfolio layouts. It would have been nice to see a vibrant community of people sharing their designs, but the reality is that the majority of custom PDF Portfolios are created for enterprises as part of their brand identity, and there is an obvious cost involved in hiring one of the small number of expert programmers (of which Joel Geraci is the #1) to do the work.
Adobe has never claimed that the layouts which ship with Acrobat were the best/only way to do things - just as with the default presets in Lightroom, they're examples of what can be done. With Acrobat X it became easier for non-programmers to style the layouts (via Themes) but there's no escaping the basic fact that making a layout itself is a Flex programming job, and not one you'd attempt as your first chunk of code.
When Acrobat 9 launched, I saw pretty equal levels of complaints that the bundled layouts were too boring and too flashy. The target was shifted in Acrobat X to a less corporate style, but again people loved and hated them in equal measure. Given how much work is involved in writing and testing each layout, you can't expect Adobe to release a version for everyone.
There were legitimate reasons why the bundled layouts from A9 weren't included in AX. Speaking personally I don't expect my assessment to change: Portfolios may stick around, they may not - it depends on a mountain of bigger questions about Web standards, device popularity, politics and economics which Adobe have no control over. -
Problem with file:/// URLs in Safari 2
I am seeing some confusing behaviour with file:/// URLs: a very simple HTML file with that type of link works as expected (opens the nominated folder) when loading it as a local file from my disk, but when I put it on our web server and retrieve it from there, nothing happens when I click on the file:/// link.
This is happening under Safari 2.0 on OS X 10.4.2 (cross-tested on a brand-new iMac), but by comparison does not happen under Safari 1.2.4 under OS X 10.3.8 on an old eMac.
The HTML source as viewed in the browser when loading it each way is identical:
Go here: link
Has anyone else seen -- and hopefully resolved -- this?
Thanks,
RobertI tried clicking on the link and nothing whatsoever happened. So I tried a control click and selected "Open Link in new window" and a new window opened, followed by the Utilities folder opening. I made a test.html file with the link in it, put it on my startup drive and it worked as expected, and ditto for putting it on a second internal drive. I then put it on my iDisk and navigated to it thru its web site address of
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/testlinks.html
and discovered that the two other "local" operation links (to launch ScriptEditor) both worked, but the open folder link no longer did, except by using control click and choosing either "Open link in new window" or new tab. A new Safari window or tab opens, then the Utilities folder opens.
I then tried the page in Firefox, and it didn't work AT ALL, not even with new window or tab. I then tried Mozilla and Netscape. Same deal. The ancient Internet Explorer opened the Utilities folder inside a new browser window rather than the Finder. This might be a clue as to why the link doesn't work as expected, but unfortunately I don't know what it means.
