For the sake my smb.conf: http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/382609

You need to look at that huge thread in this section of discussions. The one about the loss of Disk Utility. It's had over 4000 visits. Most didn't describe your symptom, but I had your symptom.
You have other symptoms you just haven't encountered yet! My first sign of trouble - which was created by the lock on Keychain - was that my laptop couldn't join my home wireless network.
The good news is that there is an easy, though unintuitive fix.
I wish there were a message from Apple directing all the various people with problems to that big thread, because they all really belong there.

Most recent update breaks Keychain

I installed the most recent updates to my 10.3.9 system (iTunes, battery monitor, iPod plus Quicktime) and now I can no longer access my keychain items. Process (activity) monitor shows the keychain process "hung" and keychain verify/repair show no issues with the keychain. Behavior is the same after running a disk utility "repair permissions" pass.
This isn't very nice.

How do I edit the Screen Sharing 'Most Recently Used' files list ?

I have recently added a mac mini to the network at home, and will be using this as a headless device. I am connecting remotely (using screen sharing) which works well. I have set the Sceeen Sharing icon to remain permanently visible on the dock, ad by right clicking, I get a list of the most recently used shares.
The trouble is, that some of theses shares no longer exist, and tghere is also some duplication.
I would like to edit this list, but cannot find out how to do it.
Can anyone help please ?
Thanks
Geoff
PS - The same principle applies to a number of other programs that retaim n MRU lst on their dock icon - how can these be edited.

This doesn't apply to me anymore.

Most recent update to Photoshop CC and Bridge breaks use with snow leopard. need previous vsn

The most recent version of Bridge CC installed with adobe's updater killed my systems year long use of Bridge CC so it won't load. I need the previous version. I can't update to 10.7 for technical and other software workflow reasons. How can I get back to the previous vsn that did work yesterday?

I would guess you need to uninstall bridge cc and then reinstall without applying the 6.1 update
(use the uninstaller in /Applications/Adobe Bridge CC)
You can download Bridge CC direct from here
Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools
And the Bridge cc 6.0.1 update from here any others you might need
(don't install the 6.1 bridge cc update, because that is the update that breaks bridge on 10.6.8)

Be sure you follow the directions where it says Note: Very Important Instructions or the links won't work.

I tried downloading a CD (lots of my itunes music is from CDs) and it went as normal but when i downloaded it to my ipod it doesnt say the name of the artist. I've tried everything. It only did this after i downloaded the most recent itunes version

So a lot of my music in iTunes is CDs and recently I was trying to download another CD to it and everything went as normal until I downloaded it to my iPod. So I know that to get everything to match you have to change the names and stuff to get the album to match the iTunes version exactly so that everything will go smoothly and I did that but when I downloaded it to my iPod I saw that it didn't name the artist. Where it should say the artist it says "Unknown Artist". I thought that it was just that particular album but than I tried downloading another album and the same thing happened. I've tried everything. I've double checked to make sure the album matches the iTunes version and it still does it. Everything is fine on the iTunes on the computer. It says the artist and stuff but than on my iPod it doesn't. The album artwork, name of the album, and name of the songs are all there but the name of the artist isn't. It never did this before and it started right after I downloaded the latest version of iTunes so since it happened twice I think it may be a glitch with either my iPod or with iTunes but I thought maybe somebody could help me? I guess it's not important but it really bothers me. Especially since it could be avoided.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

Following the most recent IOS IPhone update our Iphone calendars, contacts and messages have all merged. This problem has never happened before. We all use the same Itunes account as a family and one AppleID. Does anyone know the cause of this problem?

We have 4 Iphones. As a family we have happily shared the same ITunes account and one AppleID. After the most recent iPhone IOS update all our contacts and calendars have merged and we randomly receive some messages that one of us has sent to another contact.
This is causing chaos.
Can anyone help me with:
1. Has anyone experienced a similar problem recently?
2. The records to the individual phones have not been saved been saved separately. After this merging of all the data into one composite record, is there anyway to reverse the change and restore the phones to just their individual records?
3. I guess that the cause may be the common AppleID. I have tried to create my own AppleID but my personal email address is already linked to the existing AppleID so I am blocked from setting up a separate AppleID in my own name. Does anyone know how I can get around this block?
4. Would it be better to create a separate Apple ICloud address for each of us as well? How do I do this?
Many thanks in anticipation,
Peter

This is exactly what happens when sharing a single Apple ID for iCloud and iMessage. Why would you expect any different?

StarWalk compass stopped working with their most recent update.

My favorite application on my iPad used to be Starwalk. Ever since their most recent update on April 30, the internal compass stopped working (which is basically the backbone of the entire app). I contacted Vito technology (the developer) - it took a long time to get a response, but after several efforts they finally replied that there was a flaw in the iPad's internal Magnetometer, that it had nothing to do with their software, and there was nothing they could do about it - I should take it up with Apple. The app worked perfectly until their most recent update. I looked at their reviews/comments and numerous people were making the exact same complaint, and everyone said it stopped working as the result of the April 30 Starwalk update. I have one friend with a 3G iPad and the app still works fine for him. I have another friend with a wiFi version like me, and the app ALSO stopped working for him on April 30. So I understand not all iPads are affected.
So am I supposed to take this up with Apple now and tell them there is a flaw in their magnetometer that caused StarWalk to break as of their last update, and see if they can fix all our devices?
I don't believe Vito's assertion that their software is not at fault (considering so many people are complaining in their negative reviews that the last update triggered this breakage).
I'm frustrated and wonder if anyone else is experiencing this. Starwalk used to be my favorite app, and its even more frustrating to listen to the developer tell me its a device flaw that's been there all along, when me and many other people all had simultaneous magnetometer problems develop on April 30 - the moment we installed their last update.

Just that I have the latest from April 30 and there are no updates that are available to me. I guess you have the wifi only version as I do? I can't quite figure out why this would be affecting some people and not others. If you go to the StarWalk page on iTunes you'll see the list of people complaining about the same thing. In iTunes it also says my iPad software is up to date (I assume that means the OS/firmware).
So do you guys think this is something I take up with StarWalk or Apple? I feel a little ripped off that Vito has sold me a $6 app (granted that is not much) that has stopped working, and they are telling me its a flaw in the device.
I'll paste the response I received from Vito below. Bear in mind that although they say this has nothing to do with their software, all of the people who are complaining had a functioning app before April 30, and it stopped working as soon as we made that update.
Thank you for taking time to send us your feedback, it is highly appreciated.
In specific circumstances iPhone/iPad digital compass (magnetometer) may operate with difficulties, essentially causing errors in all applications that rely on its data.
Unfortunately, we cannot fix this particular problem, because it is caused by the digital compass malfunction and has nothing to do with our software. However, we are happy to offer you directions which may help you avoid experiencing this inconvenience in the future.
For better functioning of the digital compass consider doing the following:
1) Tilt your device from landscape to portrait orientation several times. This will help the digital compass recalibrate itself and calculate current position.
2) Make sure the compass is not obstructed by thick walls of buildings or large amounts of metal nearby. Try going outside.
3) Consider trying again later. Sometimes it is unclear what may be influencing the magnetometer.
If you need more information, please read the magnetometer specifications below.
We hope that these simple instructions were of help. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Vito Technology Support Team

Wikidia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_compass :
"A magnetometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the instrument. Magnetism varies from place to place and differences in Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere) can be caused by the differing nature of rocks and the interaction between charged particles from the Sun and the magnetosphere of aplanet. Magnetometers are a frequent component instrument on spacecraft that explore planets."

Open Recent for V5.5 Not Showing Most Recent

After upgrading to Pages 5.5, the Open Recent list of documents is buggy - sometimes after saving a document, the list of recent documents is updated and sometimes not. Before upgrading to Yosemite and version 5.5 of Pages, this feature worked.
Clearing the menu has not resolved this issue. Changing the Recent Items number in System Preference has not resolved this issue.
I tried to report this issue using the Apple feedback link, but the dropdown menu for version number only went up to V 5.2.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue?

Any pattern? Are they the most recently created or modified? Anything in common about how they are named, or in the +dot plus three+ extensions? Are you still seeing the older version of files on the Mac compared to directly in Windows.
I've not used Windows 7 so I'm not familiar with any sharing filters that are possible. If you are still seeing older versions of files, and the ones you don't see on the Mac happen to be the most recently added to the folder, it still feels to me like you are actually connecting to a different sharepoint than what you believe... maybe one that is in an backup archive or something.
Sorry I can't be any more helpful. It's a bit mysterious.

HT204088 how to I find out the most recent deductions to my account from the app store (say, for a recent download for additional functionality on a iPad game)

How to I find out the most recent deductions to my account from the app store (say, for a recent download for additional functionality on a iPad game). Much as I try, I can't seem to get to see my account in enough detail to see what I have spent downloading apps to the ipad.

You need to punch in the passcode for any purchase right, not just for new apps??
If one of the other students, or anyone else, got access to your iTunes Store account, necessary to make any purchases, then they'd have all the information they'd need to also make in-app purchases. But an in-app purchase can only be made through the account through which the original app was purchased. Either your son bought the game (free or paid) and then shared it with someone else along with the account information (necessary to authorize the app on someone else's device), or someone else downloaded the game as well, not just made in-app purchases.
In any case, changing your iTunes Store password should now have cut off any such unauthorized activity, though of course if your son gives the new password out, you'll be back to square one.
Regards.

Not Showing Most Recent Files

I've got a strange one. I've been able to network my imac to a dell laptop and they can see each other's shared directories. Tried to access an Excel file from the laptop and it didn't show the most recent file, but one that was nearly three weeks old. Is the imac caching the files anywhere? I didn't see any windows settings. Still getting used to the Mac world and didn't see any ability to refresh. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Finding most recent file in a directory

Hi,
Is there a simple and easy way in labview to write a program that goes
into a directory and looks for the most recent file. I can think of one
way where I use the list directory vi to obtain an array of the file
names in the directory and then use the file/directory info vi to
obtain a time stamp for each file in the directory and afterwards sort
all the time stamps. I'm not sure if this is the simplest way to do
this, and wanted to ask if anyone on the discussion forums knows of any.
Thank you

This example is not that great and a few tweaks can greatly improve it!
Building the path with string operations inside the loop automatically breaks this VI on anything but windows. There is a reason we have the "build path" function! It should always be used. The "string to path" and "path to string" should only be used for OS specific tasks.
You probably want to skip files that are actually links. Newer versions of "File/Directory info" tell you if the path points to a link instead of a file with a boolean output.
WIy do we need to keep an array of all files and maintain the corret index in a shift register. It seems more intuitive and less wasteful to just keep the newest file path in the shift register and not worry about the index.
The image below shows a quick attempt at improving the example. Modify as needed.

Since the most recent update, any previously made captivate files we republish won't display

(skip to "I'll break down the problem as best as i can" to avoid rant )
Essentially, we have near a hundred eLearning courses we have made using captivate dating back as early as captivate 4. We have been upgrading through the versions as we go and where there has always been little glitches that present themselves this one makes the list sense. This isn't even an upgrade in version, just a little patch (that seemed to add the ability to resize the "Question X of Y" bits on question slides).
So, does anyone have any help on this problem? Adobe have been so far not very helpful, essentially offering the wisdom and clarity that comes with years of not trying to fix problems. Their advice being to basically remake each course from the ground up, something that will take a LOT of time (and for what!? to fix their mistake?).
I'll break down the problem as best as i can:
Since recent patch to captivate, pre-existing files that we publish again will not display on windows computers but does display on Ipad's, etc. Uploading to a server does not fix the problem, it remains the same. The internet window opens up the same as normal but after a brief loading bar moment, the window remains blank. A check of the code shows that the files are being loaded but simply not displaying in any form. If we publish a completely new file, it displays fine. The type of browser has no impact on the problem. We have also found that if we go into the console and use a command to skip to, say, the second frame, it works!? So the issue literally seems to be with displaying in the first place.
Thanks in advance if anyone can even help suggest ways to get round this problem, it has come at a terrible time when we need to make changes and present material to another company but can't even view our publishes files.

The most recent update (to Captivate 7.0.1.237) changed the default autoplay setting for all of our courses to on. Since we haven't changed any settings personally it was easy overlooked, and the autoplay function just doesn't seem to work.
I tried running cpCmndGotoSlide = 2 in the web developer console and it caused the course to start up, making me realise that the course was indeed loading (I saw that some of the content was loading on firebug but was unsure as to if it was the crucial files) but just not playing and I noticed while investigating that.
So its just a case of turning off autoplay for the course in the publish settings.
Also as a note our courses were still working on iPad, I think this is due to apple products not supporting the autoplay of content, especially if it has audio.

Time Machine most recent backup never changes

Hi - new to the forums here.
I have been having issues for some time with my 13" MacBook Pro. I'm still running Mavericks. One of the things I am dealing with is that the date of my most recent backup has remained the same for several months now, even though I continue to back things up frequently. The backups are in the folder, which is all that really matters, I suppose, but I've no idea why it's doing this.   I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks!

This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including exclusions. The backups won't be affected. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy the file to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Restart the computer and recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane. It will show that you have no backups. Don't worry; your backups haven't been touched. Run a backup to test. The backup may take much longer than usual. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
