.mv4 upload to Weblog broke after 10.6 update.

I had the Weblog working to accept .mv4 files via tips in George Cooks's "Tweaking Weblog",
http://web.mac.com/cook5/iWeb/georgedotmac/Welcome.html.
I modified the appropriate files and it was working fine. After the update I can only upload the standard file types. .mp3, .mov etc. and not .mv4 to the Blog.
The update was supposed to fix it but it broke it. Any ideas? The files that I modified are still modified but the lib file was changed by the update.

This is a great example of why Apple has to provide much better documentation than what is available.
I read the PDF "Podcasting Tweaks" too. I have not had success with m4v files yet, so I looked closely at what you wrote to see where I may have gone wrong. But did you make a mistake when you pasted your "plugin-admin-upload.properties" file for upload with your post?
Is that entry in the file "application/octet$"?
It worked?
Not "application/octet-stream"?
I'm puzzled.
And Jay said he added "video/m4v and video/x-m4v".
I can see how you would input "video/x-m4v" to enable an ".m4v" file for Firefox. The "Podcasting Tweaks" PDF lists the file type in the left column, and the required text-incantation in the right column. That is the pattern: file type in the left column, required text in the right column. Easy enough.
But how did you know that you needed to add "video/" in front of "m4v" to get it to work with Safari? Following any logic, it would appear that all you need to enable an m4v for Safari is to add "application/octet-stream" in the correct section of the "plugin-admin-upload.properties" file.
Given the absolutely unforgiving nature of Unix flat files for ANY deviation from the one correct way, and given that this is basic documentation for newbies to Blojsom, how did you guess that you had to add "video" in front of the entry in the LEFT column?
One extra period, one missing comma, any tiny deviation from exactly what is expected in a text-based configuration file and it will blow up as certainly as the sun rises. And you go ahead and add an entire word! How did you know?
Unless you had some clue from God knows where. Did you pick up a different fragment of "documentation" from some other budding Blojsom guru with an iMac account? In this case, you were a more persistent man than I am, Sir.
I am not knocking "Podcasting Tweaks". Its the most useful piece of writing I have yet seen for Blojsom. But how can that be?
Thorough and clear documentation is the difference between being able to usually go home at sometime close to 5pm, and missing deadlines while trying to calm disgruntled bosses and endusers. Apple has to stand up and end the embarrassment. Give us documentation for this application.

Uploading previous iWeb work after a system restore?

How do I upload previous iWeb work after a system restore?
I backed up my data on a Hard-drive then I did a factory reset or restore of my hard-drive....
Now I am attempting to open my previous iWeb work online and it is not working please help.....

Your domain.sites2 file is the file that iWeb stores all its data and it is this file that you need if you want to continue updating your website in iWeb.
It is found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and then the domain.sites file.
Your user library is the one with the house and this is where your personal user information is stored as opposed to your System Library which is general and where iWeb is not.
If you don't have your domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your site from scratch as iWeb does not have the ability to read or open html files - so a previously published site - it is a one way street creating html files upon publishing.

Error when uploading book to Blurb from LR 4.1 and after 4.3 update

I have been trying for over 24 hours to upload a 75 page book successfully from LR 4.1, and also after updating to LR 4.3! I was initially able to upload to pdf format in LR 4.1, then it stopped working. Book upload to Blurb took a very long time to upload the 75 pages plus cover and got stuck in the process of uploading pages, finally returning an error message: "There was an error in uploading your book, would you like to try again?"
After several attempts to upload the book, updating to LR 4.3., then the process stopped working in upload to pdf. I checked the box on background "Apply Background Globally" to get to the "Graphic" checkbox that was checked. I unchecked it and then removed the "Apply Background Globally" checkbox. After doing that, I was able to upload to pdf, but still received the error message when uploading to Blurb, even after several of retry attempts.
As a workaround, I was going to try to upload the pdf file directly to Blurb but received a statement saying the pdf was not the right size. Please help with this issue. I purchased LR4 to be able to use the book feature and I am very disappointed in both Adobe and Blurb for the lack of support found in all of the FAQ's, How To's, etc. I have seen so many posts similar to mine. Surely there should be some fix for these common issues by now.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello,
I had this problem as well - the upload to Blurb would not work. Creation of a PDF and export as JPEG in the book module worked.
For me, the solution was to turn off the Windows Firewall while uploading. Now it works!

No, sorry. it won't work with the 2007 MBP. You can replace the optical drive yourself - just go shopping at OWC.
Good luck,

Try rolling back to the older CUPS. It seems several people on the forum have issues with CUPS now
Well, this is impossible since I don't have the old 64bit packages on my harddrive....
It's not impossible, you can always use CVS to get the old versions of PKGBUILD & Co. You can read about it in the wiki
I don't know how much packages are needed for the downgrade but you will need at least cups and libcups:
libcups:
there is only a PKGBUILD (no additional files) so I think this should do it (back to 1.2.9)
cups:
there are more files than just the PKGBUILD, but most of them haven't been modified since a long time except PKGBUILD (9 days ago) and maybe fr-template.patch (3 weeks ago), so most important should be this page.
With these information/files you can recreate the lost/old packages yourself. Copy /var/abs/lib/libcups and /var/abs/daemons/cups into /var/abs/local and modify the PKGBUILDs according to the CVS diff entries mentioned above and type makepkg. AFAIK this should be enough.
If you are lucky (and don't use abs too much, last maybe a month ago or so) then your abs-tree might still contain the old files and you can use them without modifications .

Portal Login Broke after Db Upgrade to 9.0.1.3

Hi -- My portal web page login doesn't work after upgrading my portal database version from 8.1.7.1 to 9.0.1.3. All the scripts I ran (Note 159657.1 and Chap. 7 of 9i Database Migration Manual) ran ok. I also applied whatever patches/fixes required to get Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2 working with database version 9 per the certification matrix pages. I am still using Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2 on the middle tier and have only upgraded the database version. Also, I am not using LDAP for authentication.
After the database upgrade, the portal web login page comes up fine, but after I execute a login attempt I get a "Page Not Found" in my browser. This error shows up in apache's error_log:

Everything worked fine prior to the upgrade. There are no invalid objects causing this and I can log into the portal database fine through a sqlplus session. Does anyone know why portal login is broke after database upgrade? Has anyone upgraded their portal database versions in place with this issue afterwards?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer...!
Kate

Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for your reply. I already had a working 9iAS Release 1 with a 8.1.7.1.0 database. All I did was upgrade the database from 8i to 9i on the database server. I also applied the jdbc patch on the 9iAS app server so a connection with the 9i database could be established. As far as I know, there's no portal configuration assistant step here because I already had a complete fully-functioning portal install before the database upgrade to 9i. Is there something I'm missing about your suggestion?
Thanks.

1) The people responding in this forum are just other Apple product users like you, not Apple itself. Apple Support Communities is primarily an end-user to end-user (i.e., users like you helping other users) technical issue support feature. Feedback will truly get more attention if you send it using:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
2) At some stage developers decide it isn't worth the expense of supporting older technology. If I had my way you could still connect iOS7 to OS9, but Apple has decided to make the limit OS 10.6.8 Nor do I like that I can't get spare parts for my 33 year old car...
Suggestions...
If you are not going to always be running the newest technology always read software requirements before doing any upgrades. I run a 12 year old computer and yes, I see there are things I can't run (many), but I also then avoid buying any incompatible new technology. The system requirements are printed on the side of the box (albeit in 9 point medium gray font on light gray box ) Do not expect the Apple Store people to check with you about your computer first. I bet half of them were still in grade school when my computer was produced and none of them could possibly imagine anybody would run anything older than 6 years (probably not even that, more like 4).
Why not buy Snow Leopard? Of course you do not say what model computer you are using, but if you can run Snow Leopard on your computer there's no advantage to staying with Leopard. Snow Leopard costs $20 which is minimal compared to you now no longer being able to sync your phone.
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
I'd swear I posted almost this identical post two hours ago...
If you can't/don't want to upgrade your computer, you have 30 days to return the phone I believe.

"Abuse" includes dropping it. If it's not a manufacturing fault: These prices are roughly the same in other coutries to the US.
Out-of-Warranty Service     If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

          Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPad is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service.

I think there is a very annoying bug after the latest update of firefox, can I talk to someone, or chat with someone so I can get rid of it

Since the latest auto update of my firefox browser I am experiencing strange issues. Every evening when I stop working, I close my browser (closing all the tabs that I am working on and in the morning, I restore the session) . For many years everything worked just fine ... untill after the last auto update of the firefox browser .. all of a sudden a got 302 errors ( a blank page with the description 302 and I believe "page moved here" or something to that extend ... i try to click the link and get nowhere.
I first noticed it on a few wordpress pages (backend ) that I was working on and which were restored from the previous day ...
thinking it was a server error, since we have several vps and dedicated servers .. i contacted the company who hosts our servers ..
they looked into it and apparently .. there were no issues on the server side and neither on that particular computer ... but our server hosts told us .. that it is probably browser related and seemed to have something to with a bug with the cache of the browser
we didn't know what to do .. it was very annoying .. but at that point it only happened once on a hew pages .. so we decided to see what happened the next time
Next time we did not restore a session with wordpress pages .. but with the google search engine open and on a few other tabs logged into social media .... and as was saidn by our server hosts it was indeed not related to work that we did on pages on our servers ... since that time even the google search engine homepage ... showed us ... moved here
Can you pease look into it and fix this .. we are doing the same thing as many years on the same computer also a few years .. so it is not anything we do wrong either .. it is most definitely browser related
so can you please fix it asap .. since when we work on wordpress .. that is not the only thing that goes wrong .. we also have difficulty uploading updates ... when updating sometimes after the update of any particular change on a wordpress page is done ... we are also redirected to a blank page .. so the updated page does not want to load ... in that case we have use our back button ...
which sends us back to the right page ... but with the old data on it ... then we have to refresh that page .. and only then we see the page updated ... so it seems that there is an issue in both direction with the caching of the browser after the last update
Kind regards,
Robert

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
My question is at the end.
Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves 95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting, etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand. (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
13. Bingo! That install works.
14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
   before
     lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
   after
     lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
(that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
Save the file.
18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version, not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
And finally my
** QUESTION **
Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this, but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my limitied java skill set, to make this decision.
Thanks in advance!!
Byron

Hi Byron,
Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
#java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
Add new line like so and save jvm.config:

Note there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.

After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all my music (Cds that I had downloaded into itunes) except the once I had purchased from the itunes store. Can anyone help? Do you know what might have happened?

After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all the music that I had downloaded from my Cds. It was a lot of music! All I still have is the music that I had purchased in the itunes store. And before you asked. No, I did not have a backup. Never got around to do it.
Does anyone of you have an idea if and how I can maybe get my music back?
Your help is very much appreciated. Would it help if I recover my computer from an earlier date?? I am not even sure if I make sense here.

Hi - I seem to have a similar problem. I was prompted to update to iPhoto 11 yesterday (don't know why yesterday, I'm in iPhoto all the time). So I followed the instructions, library updated, all existing events and albums are there. I uploaded some more pictures and created a few new albums and did some new year spring cleaning, moving stuff around etc. And I started making a calendar.
I've opened it up today, my calendar is still there as are all the new events, but the pictures are empty outlines. If I open up a picture I just get the "!" but I can still see the thumbnails showing in the slider in the bottom - I don't know if that means the source files must still be there somewhere, or if it just means it captured thumbnails yesterday.
I've gone into it via "show package contents" and there just don't seem to be any masters for an upload yesterday. I also just had a look in the last import folder, because of a comment from someone above. As I scrolled down through the folder the images were there and literally disappeared in front of me - by which I mean, the thumbnails were there as I scrolled down and then would turn into empty outlines...!
All my old folders are still there, thankfully (although they're of course the ones that are also all safely back up).
Although I have a timecapsule, my photo library is too big to keep on my hard drive, so I keep it on an external drive - so it only gets backed up when I do it manually (thanks Apple for that, I will never understand why it was designed to work - or not work - that way). So if the pictures have been lost then they are gone for good which is super-frustrating (I just got back from South Korea and was in the middle of sorting out all my shots from that trip). It seems that this can only have happened because of the update - I should have known better than to have pressed yes.
If you have any ideas, I'd be most grateful!
Regards

After Automatic Software Update I Can't Attach Photos in Hotmail via Safari

Suddenly after my iMac update the software on my computer, I suddenly can't attach any photos in Hotmail when I launch Safari.
I have been a Hotmail user for 10 years now and never have had this problem before. This has been my primary account for these years and I don't want to start another email account with a different carrier.
In the middle of uploading on every attachment, I get an error saying "There was a problem adding this file to the message" The files are not too large or the wrong file type.
I am using Safari 5.0.2 and Mac OS C 10.6.4
I am frustrated by this.
Can someone please help me
THANKS SO MUCH

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Quit Safari (Command + Q) Relaunch Safari and try attaching a photo to Hotmail.
If that doesn't help, open a Finder window select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder.
Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help either, quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try an attachment again. If it works, then move that .plist file to the Trash.
Check Safari / Preferences - Security to make sure you either have: Always accept cookies or *Only from sites I visit* selected.
You've had similar issues with Hotmail in the past. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11580566#11580566
I don't want to start another email account with a different carrier
At some point, you may want to consider switching to Mac Mail instead of using web based mail written by Microsoft as they may not always support the Safari browser.
