Lost control over my leoServer

Hi
after password issues with my macbook i experienced the same problems with my MacMini OS X Server (Leopard, recently updated). I wondered if it is technicly possible that someone had hacked my system - or both of my systems? I am only using the server occasinally as a file server. I have to say, that before that happened we had a short in the house and the electricity went off for a few minutes. The server was not on during this and the Macbook was running through the battery. But the VDSL-router got turned off.
The problem: I can't access my server anymore. I tried "t"-mode to access it via firewire from my macbook and I tried to reinstall from the DVD (holding "c"). Nothings works. The log in just doesn't work.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike
thanks for your reply.
As for hacking: it was strange that both of my macs have issues at the same time. I could not access them anymore. For the MacBook (Leo) I could not assign a new password using the DVD. I mean, I could assign it and I could write a new hint which got displayed after three tries, but I could not access my Macbook. I used a time time machine backup, but even that one had the same issues. Well, in that case I could reinstall the MacBook and was than dragging stuff back by hand. The thing happened, after I wanted to install iLife 09 when the system asked me for the password. Out of the blue...
Strange, that at the same time I had password Issues as well with my MacMini (Leo server).
Back to your question: I am talking about the main login. Starting up the Mini. Option to change volumes doesn't work - and holding c has no effekt either.
Hope you understand my situation now better. The funny thing is, that I "see" my server from the macbook and was able to get files from there. But there is no way to access it.
Thanks for any further help.
I appreciate it.

I lost control over my Airport Express

I lost control over my Airport Express. It is still working, wireless network is alright, but the Airport Utility can not find it. I reinstalled the utility on my desktop but still the same.

That's irritating. What is the exact message provided by AirPort Utility? Is it something like "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"?
What version of AirPort Utility are you using, which AirPort Express model do you have (look on its case for a number like A1084, A1264 or A1392), and what version of OS X are you using?

In Windows XP I have lost control over third party cookies

I bought a refurbished computer with Windows XP. But now I have noticed there is no control over cookies in Firefox. In Windows Vista there was 'block third party cookies' there was 'state which websites to permanently block' or 'allow' and even then I was only using Firefox... Now there is nothing. On top of that none of the "cookies control" add-ons for Firefox seem to be any good at all. I don't know what to do!
Why would Firefox change with Windows XP?? I can see with IE of course but Windows operating system has nothing to do with Firefox, if you know what I mean.

Please review this information [[Enabling and disabling cookies]]

Comments Posting w/o scripting - Lost control over my JSP flow

Hi all,
Imagine you have a page where users can view comments from other users. And imagine that members can also post comments, but non-member guests can not. You want everyone to get the same page, but you want members to see more things on the page. You want a conditional <jsp:include> and of course you don't want to do it with scripting but do it with JSTL.
I already have the following:
1. web.xml
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">

Lost control over sound after Lion installation. 2009 MacBook Pro. Solutions?

After I updated to Lion on my mid 2009 MacBook Pro, my sound is unable to be adjusted, no matter what I try. Took it to Apple store and it started working fine, but once I got it back the sound icon is grayed out and no ability to adjust sound again. Not a logic board issue. The headphone jack does not turn red. Any solutions or anyone else with this problem?

This happened to me. A reboot fixed it for me.

I've Lost Control over my Home Page(s)

Greetings Team Firefox,
I've just upgraded to Firefox 12.0, and I have a problem that I could use some help with. I can't change my home page(s). For some reason, Firefox insists on using my current home pages, which happen to be 6 different web pages. Firefox won't change to the default, a single web site, a blank page, or anything else.
I'm running Windows 7 X64 on a laptop.
If anybody has any suggestions, I would certainly appreciate them. Thanks much.
Regards,

Hello madperson,
I had a look at the user.js file, and found it was clobbered. The first character in the first line was an illegal character, and notebook choked on it (notebook would not open the .js file). I deleted user.js, and Voila! I'm back in business. Thanks much for your immediate response and excellent advice.

Appear to have lost all control over phone

Hi
i'm hoping somone here can help. i've lost complete control over my music volume and certain apps just keep opening at random. It started on the way into work, smart connect seemed to keep trying to open and i heard a womans voice talking over my music, it was the instructions on how to use smart connect.
Since then i've had my music go loud, then all the way to silent and vice versa. it's extremely frustrating. i've disabled Smart Connect entirely and now when i start music playing, my screen won't lock at all. At one point i somehow even opened the Xperia version of siri by accident.
No idea whats going on, any advice?
i'm very close to just factory resetting the entire thing. i'm running the latest version of Android and all my apps are up to date

That's quite odd, I'd do a Phone repair via PC Companion or Mac Bridge better than factory resetting it.

Add Control over Copyright Watermark Font

Now with the V1.3 we got the nice export size option based on longer/shorter image size, and I could stop to use additional resizing step upon export.
With one exception: The Watermark added by Lightroom is too huge for my taste. And I used to generate (say) twice bigger image, and resize it than to a smaller dimension. By doing so, the watermark got also scaled down in size.

I had my copyright watermark working nicely in my web exports after tweaking my fonts using
Jeffreys Lightroom Configuration Manager. However in the upgrade to 1.2 or 1.3 I lost my settings, and haven't been able to get it the right size since. So I'm left adding it outside of LR (dumb hassle) or leaving it off altogether (less than ideal). I hope it's possible to make an export plugin that will give control over some sort of watermark for export, but hopefully in time the watermark ability will grow from the print and slideshow modules into the web and export ones...

Lost controll of mouse, new folders opening

lost controll of mouse, new folders being created without my imput, different apps opening up without my concent, only way to shut down computer is just to hold power button down as i have no control over mouse to do anything. cant use apple hardware test, wont boot into the hardware test, its as if someone else is controlling my 15` macbook pro, lion, 2011. is this a virus or hardware or software problem. help please!!!! peter

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

Article - Top 5 signs you've lost control of your reusable VIs

[cross-post]
Hi All,
I've written a follow-up article on
software reuse that I think will hit close to home for many LabVIEW
developers. I know that it certainly describes some of the experiences
and frustrations I've felt, over the years, while trying to reuse VIs.
As usual, I'm interested in your feedback
Top 5 signs you’ve lost control of your reusable VIs
Thanks,

I didn't see any 1 star rating...
I wrote a comment on the site that I will share below:
Wow.. I’ve lived all 5 scenarios…
Plus I have the VI Package Manager… I’ve got to find the time and start using it..
The article is quite true.. Shared libraries are not a simple thing.. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next article.
I'll have to do some more exploring of the Package Manager once my office renovation is completed (hopefully this fall).

Iphone5 touch screen lost control and went crazy itself

I had my iphone5 for two weeks. The 2nd day after I had it I started to feel sometimes my touch screen commands were not very responsive. The 3rd day when I was using it with Safari, I totally lost control with the phone. Touch screen commands generated itself. The phone zoomed in automatically, keyboard poped out and started inputing itself with "," , "1", etc. I went to home screen, apps randomly launched itself and the pull down menu kept pulling itself half way. I had turned off and on the phone and the same things still happening. Ended up I restored my phone and it was ok initially. But everyday I felt the non-responsiveness getting more severe and eventually the phone started to go crazy from time to time for a brief moment. Today it completely lost control same as the first time it happened again. I restored it immdiately with itunes and on the initial configuration screen, I cannot even input the wifi password as it input itselfs with random numbers. I can certainly take it to apple store but it seems the problem is intermittant.
Anyone with iphone 5 have similar problem?

I had the same issue with my iPhone 4S. When I kept my finger on the touch screen to scroll, the content was jumping up and down. Sometimes I could hold my finger 3mm above the screen and it activated wildly buttons. In short the touch function has gone crazy. The Apple support could not help.
I suspected that it comes from an over sensitivity.
I put then a screen protection film on (which reduces the sensitivity) and the problem disappeared.

When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up. Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore. I lost pictures over the last two years. Cloud and iTunes backup are not working for me. Help!

How can I retrieve photos when it says my cloud and iTunes backups are empty or not backed up?
When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up. Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore. I lost pictures over the last two years. When I tried my cloud, there was nothing. I would get notifications that my cloud was full, but I thought there would at least be some photos in there. When I tried to restore a back up, it said the last time was two years ago. I thought when you're on wifi, it automatically backs up. I've charged my iPhone into my Macbook a bunch of times, so something should have backed up. Is there any hope for my photos?

Sorry no backup - no pictures.
Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.

How to get more control over DVR recordings

Looking for some advice on how to make sure the DVR records (and keeps) the episodes I want.
An example:
I want to record a series that is still producing new episodes, but is also in repeats in syndication. For example, Big Bang Theory. This has new episodes each week on CBS, but has about twenty or so repeats each day on TBS.
Due to the high number of repeats, any new episodes pretty quickly get overwritten by the repeats. So is there a way to record both first-run and repeat episodes, but prevent the first-runs from getting overwritten before I can watch them?

GRubinstein1 wrote:
I have no idea if the format has recently been changed or what the issue is, but when I try to get more control over my DVR recordings, I can't. What I mean by that is that I cannot alter "First-Run and Repeats" to "First-Run Only," I cannot specify the specific channel to record on, I cannot say how many episodes I want it to keep, etc. Here is a step-by-step guide of what I do and what the problem is:
I press the "menu" button on the remote. I scroll down to DVR. I select the option of "manage series recordings." I select one of my shows. I'll use "Masters of Sex" as my example. I select "Masters of Sex." It's at this point where I get a problem. When I select "Masters of Sex," the only option I get is to cancel the series. No option to only record first-runs. No option to keep only 3 episodes instead of 5. No option to change it so it saves until I manually record it. Nothing. I've tried not selecting "Masters of Sex" and instead using the right arrow button to scrol over to the settings of the show. But nothing happens when I do that. It doesn't give me access to these options. This is incredibly frustrating because not only do the shows delete automatically at a certain point, but it records EVERY SINGLE AIRING OF EVERY SINGLE SHOW I RECORD. This means I have to go through several times a day to the "Scheduled Recordings" section and delete scheduled recordings of shows I have already seen. It's absolutely ridiculous, particularly for cable shows, which air episodes frequently throughout the week. Please help me if you can.
Put simply, I cannot change the settings on how I record each show.
Try the Box's Menu/customer support/tops support tools/Fix Fios TV option. (exact working may be different on your box)

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.
