Menus left behind

I have just loaded Adobe elements 10 for Apple onto a new Mac Pro. All works OK but when I close the program the history and layers floating menus stay behind. Another click is requuired to get rid of them. I do not have that problem on my Windows PC version. Any comments orn similar problems?

Are you a recent switcher from Windows? On a mac, most of the time closing a program's window does NOT quit the program, it just closes the window. If you want to quit, you must press cmd+q or go to File>Quit. The only programs that quit when you close a window are some of those that can only have one window open, ever, like system preferences, for example. Normal mac behavior lets you have all your programs running with no windows open if you like.

Address Book Sharing: are custom fields shared or left behind

I want to share an Address Book on one system with 3 other users through MobileMe. I will also allow the 3 other users to add, delete and change the contacts. All 4 systems have their own MobileMe accounts.
We make extensive use of custom relationship fields. Will those fields transfer with the with the shared contacts, or are they left behind?
(I know that only a limited number of relationship fields (no custom fields at all) in Address Book are available to Pages and Bento)
I've looked all over the Address Book sharing information (that I can find), and the issue of custom fields does not seem to be addressed in connection with Address Book Sharing.
Can anyone recommend any documentation that answers this question?
Is there any real (detailed) documentation at all about Address Book Sharing?
Thanks for your help.

@taylor thanks for the suggestion, but it's not quite what i had in mind. The red -/green + buttons are used to add/remove more items in the same category, ie., phone numbers, email addresses, URLs, etc. If you finish editing a record and then click on one of these fields, you get a contextual menu with various options.
But, my Skype name is not an email address, nor is it a phone number. It belongs in the IM section of the Contact template, but unlike the "Custom" option for labeling a Phone Number, the IM drop-down menu doesn't have a Custom option, nor a Skype option.
There are several possible workarounds, but that's the point, innit? Skype has been around a long time - there shouldn't be a need for a workaround.

Z@R temp files left behind with roaming profiles removal

See previous old post: Acrobat/Reader: [email protected] files left behind in Temp folder after printing
It states that the issue is resolved with Windows 7 and Server 2008 ang higher, however i'm running multiple Windows 2008 R2 servers and this problem is killing me.
A simple terminal server with only 5-6 users working on it, but abou 200 (left behind) user profiles.
What can i do yo fix this? Already tried the options in the article. Not working. Running multiple versions of Adobe Reader 11.0.xx
Please help.

Can anyone help me? In the meantime we have multiple servers, with multiple customers. And it is really getting fustrating?
I can't imagen Adobe does not care about this bug?

Data left behind after scripted imaging

I know this sounds a little weird, but sometimes after one of my techs runs one of the scripts we use stuff is left behind on the workstation (games, or media players that are not part of the image - but not everything). You can actually watch the image process and complete ok and restart the computer - it even goes though the post imaging stuff prior to login. Here is an example of one of the 2 scripts doing this sometimes -
dd if=/bin/mbr.mbr of=/dev/hda
dd if=/bin/mbr.mbr of=/dev/sda
img pd1
img pd2
img pd3
img pd4
img pc1 ntfs
img rp $PROXYADDR //$PROXYADDR/zen/images/imagename.zmg a1:p1
img pa1
reboot -f
It's happening on XP and 2000 latest updates on both, were currently running Zfd version 6.5.2. Has anyone seen this, or do you see any reason with this script that this would happen?? It works normally if you go though imaging w/o the scripts.
Thanks for any clues!!
Dennis

Dennis,
I had the exact same issue after updating from ZEN4 to ZEN7. The solution
for it was to change the command from:
img rp $PROXYADDR //$PROXYADDR/zen/images/imagename.zmg a1:p1
to:
img restorep $PROXYADDR //$PROXYADDR/zen/images/imagename.zmg a1:p1
That was the solution to my problem.
Hope this one helps for u

Uninstall Bootcamp, What's left behind?

Okay I know this may sound weird but I'm wondering if anyone knows an answer to this. About 8 months ago I used the Boot Camp beta to run WinXP on my MacBook Pro 2,2. I ended up deciding I didn't want it and used the Boot Camp Assistant to remove it. All ways fine. I have since did an Erase and Install of Leopard, all is still fine. But I was messing around with rEFIt (never installing it) but I ran its Partition Inspector and got this:
Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type
1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT)
2 409640 312319623 Mac OS X HFS+
Current MBR partition table:
# A Start LBA End LBA Type
1 1 312581800 ee EFI Protective
MBR contents:
Boot Code: Unknown, but bootable
Partition at LBA 40:
Boot Code: None (Non-system disk message)
File System: FAT32
Listed in GPT as partition 1, type EFI System (FAT)
Partition at LBA 409640:
Boot Code: None
File System: HFS Extended (HFS+)
Listed in GPT as partition 2, type Mac OS X HFS+
Whats up with these FAT and FAT32 partitions? Was something left over from Boot Camp and I've never realized it? I ran diskutil list in Terminal and got this:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUIDpartitionscheme *149.1 Gi disk0
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS MacBook Pro 148.7 Gi disk0s2
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Applepartitionscheme *297.5 Gi disk1
1: Applepartitionmap 31.5 Ki disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS rob 297.5 Gi disk1s2
I don't see anything there mentioning FAT or FAT32 but EFI is there. By the way /dev/disk1 is my File Vault Disk Image, I know that.
If I run rEFIT on a thumb drive, by holding down option on boot, my Mac of course asks to boot from my internal drive or the thumb drive running rEFIt, once rEFIt is loaded it asks to boot into my OSX partition or a Windows partition.... huh!? I thought it was gone! If I run it I get a usual looking white text on black screen saying there is nothing to boot to. So how is there any windows-type partition still there?
So does anyone know? Is something left behind from those partitions that Boot Camp made that not even an Erase and Install of OS X Leopard got rid of? I know this is a little OSD of me, but I'm dying to know. And would love to know how to remove all traces of it. Thanks!

No. Firefox keeps all session data (incl. cookies) in memory in PB mode and doesn't store any data on disk. Only the memory cache is used and not the disk cache (see the about:cache page).

Temp tables left behind by SDO_PC_PKG methods?

Are these temp tables left behind by SDO_PC_PKG methods? Is it safe to drop them?
What circumstances could have left them behind, and why were they committed when the call to the PL/SQL method crashed the client program? (copy/paste error in my OCI code).

Shadow Instance Left Behind in SLD After Using SUM

Hello,
Is there a standard procedure for removing the SLD information left behind by the creation of shadow ABAP instances when using SUM to update or upgrade systems? Should SUM have some final step for this built in, or should the update instructions include a step to go into SLD and delete the shadow instance information manually?
My situation is as follows. I recently updated the support package stack for my Solution Manager 7.1 system from sps4 to sps12 using SUM (this was for a new installation of Solution Manager). Afterwards, I used SOLMAN_SETUP to perform the System Preparation and Basic Configuration steps, and now I have progressed to Managed System Configuration. The first managed system to configure is Solution Manager itself, and in working on the SolMan ABAP instance, in step 6, 'Enter Landscape Parameters,' I noticed that there is an extra ABAP instance, DVEBMGS03, showing up as a landscape object node. I was puzzled for a bit about this, as there is no instance 03 in my SolMan system, only 00, 01, and 02. Eventually I figured out that SOLMAN_SETUP gets this landscape information from the obvious place, LMDB, which in turn gets it from SLD, and sure enough in LMDB and SLD I can find the "AppServer 03" instance defined.
That's when the light bulb hit. SUM creates a shadow ABAP instance when updating the support package stack (unlike using SPAM), similar to as it does during an upgrade. It deletes the shadow instance at the end of the update, but in the meantime the system has synchronized itself to SLD, and now SLD has a definition for that shadow instance that doesn't go away when the instance is deleted.
It's easy enough to manually delete it in SLD, of course, but that leads me to wonder if there's a preferred option for handling this other than manual manipulation of SLD data.
The version of SUM I used was 1.0 sp11 pl9.
Regards,
Matt

That's right, although for a support pack update, I'm not sure if the jobs even get suspended. In the past, when doing this with SPAM, there was no shadow instance to worry about, so it wasn't an issue. In upgrades, when there typically is a shadow instance, things are much more "shut down" in the system (jobs suspended, etc) than is often the case with support pack updates (though perhaps those should be just as much "shut down").
So in future I will definitely keep an eye out for it. Stopping the data supplier should be added to the tool and/or listed as a manual step in the guide to prevent inconsistent landscape and software component data from being replicated (or perhaps it already is and I missed it). I'm going to tag Boris Rubarth to get his take on it, as he is a key player in the development and maintenance of the SUM tool.
Deleting the extra instance in SLD was very easy, and I watched it replicate to LMDB very quickly, and it immediately disappeared upon refresh from the managed system configuration tool. However, it later showed up in diagnostics agent administration, as well, as a warning about a system path not being reachable by the agent (it was trying to reach \usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS03, which doesn't exist), and so I had to edit the agent landscape paths to remove that as well).
Although the problem is long since solved in my system, as described above, I will keep the question open for a few more hours to see what Boris or others may have to add.
Regards,
Matt

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back to the "Archive" of my 10.4.11 System from the "Previous Systems" folder? If not, what's the point of creating the "archive"?

Did you select "Preserve User Settings"?
Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

Silent background update: old file(s) left behind

I thought that a Windows restart may clear that file, but it did not.
How is the background updater handling this; attempt to delete it at a later stage (e.g. during the next update)?
P.S. on all other systems, all files were successfully removed.

Sorry, we only run Firefox, Chrome, and IE here, so I can't attest to what happens on those other browsers.
The only other thing I can add is that this was the 32bit version of Flash.
This is extremely easy to replicate. I went into the
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
directory and copied NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll to NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll
I then launched ProcMon from SysInternals so I could spy on exactly what was happening. Then I launched Firefox and went to the adobe flash about page. Of course, it returned version 235. But ProcMon told a different story. Firefox had launched the plugin-container.exe using the 233 DLL I just copied!
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe" --channel=2500.56b6a60.744882939 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll" - -greomni "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\omni.ja" 2500 "\\.\pipe\gecko-crash-server-pipe.2500" plugin
The problem comes because Firefox is using a QueryDirectory command with '*' when it looks in the Macromed\Flash directory for the DLL. This returns items alphabetically. It must be looking for the NPSWF32 prefix, so the LOWEST version number will always win!
To prove this, I made a copy of NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll and named it NPSWF32_0.dll. So now I'm looking at the following directory entries.
FlashInstall.log
flashplayer.xpt
FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe
FlashUtil32_11_2_202_235_Plugin.exe
mms.cfg
NPSWF32_0.dll
NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll
Note that alphabetically, my _0 copy is above the real copy. I use ProcMon to spy on Firefox once again. And Firefox goes and loads NPSW32_0.dll into the plugin-container.exe command line! This is despite the registry having no mention of this file, and all registry entries that refer to flash have NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll in them.
You guys have a huge problem here.

"ADMINI~1" folder left behind

I use MDT 2013 to build reference images, and SCCM to deploy them, as I'm sure most people do. I get a folder left behind in the Users folder: C:\users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp. The folder is empty, so I'm not sure how to figure out how to find what's
leaving it there. I've seen other folders where a Java log file is left behind, but no such luck with me.
It's happened with a Windows 7 image, as well as a Windows 8.1 image.

Consolidated iTunes library to different drive, but some files left behind?

I had been storing my iTunes library on an external HD. Now I have a new laptop and enough memory to move the library back onto the laptop's hard drive. I attempted to do so by reversing how I moved it in the first place -- I consolidated the library (using Preferences->Advanced to set the iTunes Media Folder Location to the standard folder on the internal HD). It took a while and the files were duplicated one by one on the internal HD. Except not all of them. Roughly 100+ songs, scattered throughout the library, are still stored only on the external HD. They show up in the library with an exclamation point, and I can listen to them if the external HD is hooked up, but obviously I can't if it isn't.
Is there an easy fix, and failing that, what's the painstaking manual fix I could go through?

The files that didn't transfer don't have any obvious differences from the files that did (they all have the same extension, as far as I can tell: m4p). Out of an album of songs from a particular artist, say, 11 songs will have transferred and one will have been randomly(?) left behind.
These are the basic instructions I followed re moving the Media folder and then consolidating:

Feeling a little loney and left behind

Hi all
I have a DP2 G5 and only lately with all these new intel macs I'm feeling a little left behind,
Is the G5 still a performance machine or have we been left behind in the new intel mac wake?

Hi Gambit Hunt-
I have a DP2.7 G5 that I don't plan on getting rid of any time soon.
Unless there is some great new program that one needs an intel Mac for I think you will find that most don't use their computers to even a fraction of what the device is capable of.
I've got another 18 months or so of Applecare left and I fully intend to run it until the end. Now that doesn't mean I won't hit the lottery or come into some sweet cash that I blow on a new Mac, but that is a different issue (:>)

Managing projects changes - left behind

When I upgraded to 8.0.0, I loved the new feature that created a project folder, and also nested folders for organization. With the 8.0.1 update, I noticed lots of files being copied when I saved a new project. This essentially means that I have to go back to my old ways and create these folders manually, or waste HUGE amounts of drive space.
I finally figured out what was going on and found this in the Late-Breaking News file:
+Saving a Project+
+When you use the File > Save As command to save your project to a new location+
+(outside the current project folder) and select the Include Assets checkbox, the new+
+project folder will contain all audio files used in the “old” project’s Arrange area. The+
+“Copy external audio files to project folder” checkbox does not affect this behavior.+
Later, in the next section, it adds:
+If, for some reason, you don’t wish to include used audio files, don’t enable the Include+
+Assets checkbox in the Save As dialog.+
How about a way to create these project folders without wasting so much space with duplicate files?
Is anyone else having a problem with this new "feature"?

I think its a Adobe bug, not a Microsoft bug. The behaviour started when Microsoft released a update (KB2993651) back in august 2014. The first thought is that it is a Microsoft issue but the KB clearly states a change in FONT behavior. Adobe didn't react to this change and Microsoft keeps updating the engine on a monthly basis so there are already alot of other KB's that can cause the same issue.
Furthermore. The same problem already existed before in 2011 on older systems. Adobe never figured it out and only suggested a workarround.
Acrobat/Reader: [email protected] files left behind in Temp folder after printing
Another user on this forum did some research and found that Adobe uses a legacy function when printing from Adobe reader.
http://blog.notmyfault.ch/?p=378
If Adobe leaves Z@ temp files behind in the user temp directory after printing and those files can't be deleted other than a reboot it must be a Adobe bug. Other utilities like FoxIT reader do not have this problem on modern updated Windows OS-es.

What has Bonjour left behind?

Hi,
I have been feeling the pain of this upgrade, having a BT Voyager 2100 router. For several days now I haven't been able to boot my desktop as it take down the whole of my wireless network and stops other members of my household working.
I have installed the firmware upgrade from BT, but this did nothing for me.
I have uninstalled iTunes 5 and the Bonjour service - there are no iTunes or Bonjour folders in Program Files and no iTunes/Bonjour-related services running. I have also removed iTunes and Bonjour from my Norton Firewall "Allowed Applications" list.
But when I turn on the desktop and go to access the web, my Voyager 2100 immediately disconnects all wireless connections.
What has Bonjour left behind on my desktop that could be causing this? How can I get rid of it?
If I buy a new router (not BT or DLink), will this solve the problem? I would prefer this option to having to reinstall my desktop.
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi,
As an update, I purchased a Netgear ADSL router today and installed it thinking everything would magically work. To a certain extent, it did - at least I can boot my desktop without bringing down the whole wireless network.
I ran Norton One-Button Cleanup which removed a lot of useless iTunes and QT registry entries, links, etc (I had previously uninstalled these programs).
I rebooted, and magically, the desktop could connect to the web.
I then went through several iterations of installing/uninstalling various iTunes versions so I could at least play my purchased music, but no previous versions would start - the process would sit there, but no UI, and I couldn't kill the process in TaskManager - choosing to reboot the PC hung, so I guess Windows itself couldn't kill the process either.
I am having the same problem with QT7 and, remarkably, QT6. The only software on my PC that is now broken is Apple software. If I didn't have money invested in it (how else am I going to play my purchased music - I don't have an iPod) then I would just move along.
Chris.
