Login message. How to display computer usage policies upon login

Hi Everyone,
I currently am working at a school, and we have recently had a large number of iMacs installed in the classrooms. My question is: When a student logs in to the computer, I would like to be able to display the school usage policies, and force the student to accept these usage policies by clicking an "I Accept" button before they can access any applications. Is this possible? If so, how?
If this isn't possible, could someone please suggest an alternative?
Thanks in advance

We do get all students to sign a statement with the usage policies on them. It's just that unfortunately, the Apple equipment does get damaged. They destroy keyboards, do things on the computers that they really shouldn't (we've locked as much of it down as we could via Workgroup manager and our school's firewall, but they always find a way though - some of the kids are quite smart), and in some cases, they break the screens, all of which cost the school quite a bit. I would just like to remind the students of the policies each time they log in. This way, we can always push for the strongest possible penalties, and they can't use any excuses.
"Force" is such a harsh word, I definitely agree with you there. But it's always heart breaking when they students don't respect the kind of technology we've been able to provide for them......which is why it has come to this....

How to display computer video to TV screen?

How do I connect so that a video on MacBook Pro displays on my TV screen? When I use connector cord, I get a computer screensaver.

Hi Peter,
what kind of connection are you using? HDMI? In any case, if you connect the display and go into System Preferences --> Displays, then you can select your arrangement, that is whether you want to mirror your screen or not.
The screen saver may cause problems so I suggest disabling it. Hope this helps.
Note that Lion (which you seem to be running) will automatically turn one display black while playing video fullscreen when not mirroring.

HP Procurve 2920: How to display Bandwidth usage by port

We have recently expanded our Lab network using HP Procurve 2920 switches. Our original installation utilises Procurve 2910 switches and on occasion we have found it very useful to view the Bandwidth used by each port graphically via the web interface. The Web interface for the 2920 is completely different and does not appear to have the above functionality.
Is it possible to do this with a 2920?
Thanks

Hi:
You may also want to post your question on the HP Business Support Forum -- Procurve Switches section.

How to display the data according to the search criteria

Hi ,
I want to display the order data in my application.
I have certain search criteria in my application like
ordernumber , date etc.
If I click the submit button without giving any criteria , all the data is getting displayed properly in the table.
But,If I want to display the data according to the order number, all the orders present are getting displayed , but actually it should display the order only for that particular order number.
The code is like : onActionSearch()
wdThis.wdComponentController().executeGetlist_Input();
Can any one tell me how to display the orders depending upon the search criteria.
Ideas & suggestions are truely welcome.
Thanks & Regards
Neha Mahanty

Hi Neha,
Design ur RFC in such a way that it should display the result according to your search criteria.
If you are making a search on "Order Number" pass some input(search criteria along with some parameter, if order number is not null then pass "X" as parameter) to RFC so that it will return the result accordingly. And same with date also.
Thanks n Regards,
Jhansi Miryala

Openbox refuses to boot upon login no matter what I try [SOLVED]

I've followed so far a few different guides and recommendations in how to get openbox to launch upon login/boot, needless to say I've just about given up the venture.
Note: I'm not running GNOME or KDE at all, I'm attempting to use Openbox by itself without any other WM's getting in the way.
.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx
#Window managers
exec openbox-session
autostart.sh
#autostart.sh executes before .xinitrc, stuff that is to launch first
#starts here
# Environment variables set here are passed to openbox
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART
# The below runs after Openbox
(sleep 3 $$ conky) &
(sleep 5 && sudo nitrogen --restore) &
(sleep 9 && sudo tint2) &
Please excuse any above typos in the code listed above, I'm transposing it onto another computer.
Thanks for looking!

[SOLVED] How to disable "No mail." message upon login?

This one's really stumping me. I disable the mail message a few months ago by creating a .hushlogin file in my home directory. That did the trick. Now, I am seeing the message again, and I don't know why. .hushlogin still exists in my home directory. Here's my /etc/login.defs:

to

Not it. Thanks. I tried it, so thanks for the tip, but I get the same error message. That I need to authorize this computer to get the purchases. I guess it's not really an error message. But It will not let me proceed any further. Once again I have deauthorized and this is the only computer that is authorized for this account.

downloading itunes causes computer to freeze because of high computer usage...how do i fix it?

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How can I get round problem with itunes. I get message saying computer isnt authorised to play some tracks Ive downloaded, tells me to authorise which I do, then a message appears saying the computer is already authorised but I still cant access the track

how can I get round the problem I have with itunes. I have bought and downloaded various tracks to my library. When I try to sync my iphone from my PC I get a message on screen saying that it is not authorised to play them and tells me to authorise the computer by clicking store, entering apple id and password then clicking authorise this computer. I do that then get a message saying that my computer is already authorised yet when I try syncing the track again the same thihng happens. Im getting nowhere!

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

This message comes up "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID" trying to down load movies of another computer of ICloud how do I get By?

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

the message text that i was getting contains &1, &2 and so on. how would i be able to replace it with the original value?
thanks!

After calling the transaction, this is what I do.
a) Call the function module, MESSAGE_TEXT_BUILD and pass the following values from BDCMSGCOLL or the internal table where you collect the messages.
 i) MSGID
ii) MSGNR
iii) MSGV1
iv) MSGV2
 v) MSGV3
vi) MSGV4
There is no need to fetch data using select from table t100.
It builds the message and returns in MESSAGE_TEXT_OUTPUT which can be then displayed to user.
