  • Unwanted omiga-plus search engine has been added to Mozilla. How to remove it?

    Unwanted omiga-plus search engine has been added to Mozilla, I don't know what way. How to remove it? I try to remove it in Mozilla by Options/Search but it come back on every Mozilla restart. I've deinstalled application omiga-plus (which has been installed without my will) and removed all files from system disk having this name. I've even reinstalled Mozilla. Nothing helps. Please help me.

  • Apple's disaster today has been feature on Yahoo and Google news.

    Good job apple, with that many engineers we clearly now see you guys have no clue for common sense.

    When this crap does finally get sorted out, Apple answers up for their massive screw up and we can get our original iphones working again, the first thing I'm going to do is get all of my important data off it. Then canx the 2 year contract with ATT and go back to using my Microsoft based Smart Phone.

    Hi Timia,
    If you are using Safari as a web browser :-
    Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > General, and put Google as the homepage. Then, choose Google as your default search engine.
    If you are using Google Chrome as the web browser :-
      Open Google Chrome.
      In the top right corner of the page, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu > Settings.
      In the "Search" section, select Google from the drop-down menu.
    Let me know if you still experience any issue.

  • Clicking on iTunes ikon and I get the message the item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.  What can I do, I can't open Itunes.  I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had

    When I click on the iTunes ikon I get a box pop up which reads  Problem with shortcut.  The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
    My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes.  I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either.  I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
    I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am  going to loose all these now?  Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
    Thanks

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • Here's a fix for "This item cannot be updated because it has been changed by another user or process"

    https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/System-Center-Service-fca7af29
    A few months ago on the Technet Gallery, I submitted this custom control to be used on SCSM console forms. The purpose of the control is to eliminate the "This item cannot be updated because it has been changed by another user or process" error
    message that we all have seen at least once (a day :) ).
    The details are in the gallery description (along with installation instructions for existing forms and your own custom forms).
    Here's a "short" description (nothing I ever post here is short :) ): This is a custom control that can be applied to an SCSM form like the Service Request form or Windows Computer form or your own custom form built with the authoring tool or Visual
    Studio. When you click "OK" or "Apply" on the form, this control scans the form and Service Manager's database for any changes to the object you have open. If a property that _you_ have changed on the form was _also_ changed in the CMDB
    (by a workflow or another user), this control will present a dialog box letting you know what happened. It will also let you choose which value to keep (yours, theirs, or the original value).
    Just as importantly (and important in a greater percentage of cases), if a workflow changes a "background" property (like FirstAssignedDate) while you have the form open and you click OK, the control will detect the change and allow the form submission
    to go through while keeping your changes and the FirstAssignedDate change that the workflow made. You won't get an error message or even a warning. And most importantly, you won't lose your changes.
    That's where the "optimistic" part of the control's name comes from. It applies optimistic concurrency control to SCSM forms, while also providing an anti-collision interface for you to use so you no longer lose any of your changes.
    Furthermore, this control will work on related items that are opened in memory; for example, the activities on a Service Request. So if you change an activity's title while the workflow engine sets it in progress, you won't get an error. The activity will
    be in progress and will get your new title when you click OK or Apply.
    Lastly, (and I admit this part is getting into the deep inner workings of console forms) if your form loads a sub projection at run time (to the root object) this control will detect the load and treat that sub projection as if it were apart of the original
    form all along.
    I've gotten a little feedback about this control, but I'd like to get more since it's a work in progress. So, I'm announcing it here on the forums. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them here. Thanks,
    folks!
    Oh, and to answer the most common question right away: It's free. There is no paid version or anything like that. This is something I built for the SCSM community.

    Great job! 
    Will definitely try it out. 
    Best regards,
    Marcus

    When trying to open lightroom I get a message that says, "The lightroom.exe that the short cut refers to has been changed or moved, so the short cut will no longer work properly.  Do you want to remove this short cut?  The program has opened and worked fine in the past.

    You have (probably accidentally) moved or deleted the Lightroom program. You need to find it (have your operating system search for lightroom.exe) and move it back to where the shortcut expects it to be.

  • Metadata Status: Has been changed (how to find...)

    I edited a lot of photos in Lightroom 2 and would like to use the command "Save Metadata to File".
    However, I've not been able to parameterize a library filter enabling a search for all photos that have the field "Metadata Status" assigned to "Has been changed"!
    I'm looking for a way to fill up the Library Grid for these changed photos, select them all, and do a "Ctrl-S" to update the metadata section of these photos in one batch.
    Is it possible to to that? (I don't want to check the box "Automatically write changes into XMP" as it slows down LR).
    Thanks for any information!

    Thanks Lee!
    Did not think it was that simple...

    Another problem with Firefox is that if I'm typing up a long paragraph in my Yahoo email that takes about 10-15 minutes or more, then when I hit send, I get a Yahoo sign in page. All that typing is gone!! Now I have to type the whole thing over again, if I can remember it. It's pain in the butt!!
    I've learned the hard way that any time I use Firefox, I have to copy & paste it to Notepad, sign back in, and paste it in my email, and hit send before it happens again. I don't have this problem w/I.E. The problem I do have w/I.E. is that it takes forever to work. That's why I went to Firefox but now Firefox has problems.

  • Password has been rejected by Yahoo

    Argh, this is annoying. I keep getting the dreaded bouncing icon that tells me that my password has been rejected by Yahoo! I've tried keychain repair. I've tried changing my password. I've tried deleting/re-installing my account in Mac Mail.
    I think it's a Yahoo! issue, though. And it seems to be worse during the day. Plus, it's random -- I've gone months without any issues, then it happens agian.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Any solutions?

    Yes, I am having the same problem. I have been trying to solve this for 4 days now. It has happened before yes. But this go round it started happening right after the 10.4.4 update. All the offered solutions apply to the old version of this problem, not this new problem. Everyone keeps telling me my settings are wrong or it is a yahoo problem. They also say that it is because I have mail checking my e-mail too frequently. Those are all good answers for previous OSX/Mail problems but not for this one. I went so far as to completely reinstall my OSX Tiger and did all the updates. My first time into Mail I get the error, not after repeated attemps. But the first time. When I get up in the morning turn on my Mac, and load mail, the default response seems to take my accounts offline and then up comes the "Pop server has rejected your password". I deleted all Keychains, reset to defaults, and resetup my mail keys. Same error instantly. This happens for every e-mail account I have, whether work, yahoo, google, or ISP. They only one that doesn't do this is my .mac e-mail account. It also happens for 6 different e-mail programs that use the keychain. This problem is a new problem with 10.4.4. It looks and acts like the old timing or Keychain problem but it is not. I haven't found the solution, or got any new answers from apple, sorry.
    I am in the same boat as you. Another point is My work machine hasn't got the 10.4.4 update and it is still Panther and my Yahoo account is set to check mail every 3 minutes, and I am not having any password rejection problems there.
    I know that doesn't give you a solution but maybe it will help others direct us to the solution.

  • How can we find out data in an editable ALV grid has been changed or not?

    Hi Experts,
    How can we find out whether a data in an editable ALV grid has been changed or not.
    I am using the
    FM -> REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY_LVC
    for ALV display.
    I have to chekc whther data has been changed or not befor saving. if changed then only i want to
    SAVE
    . I cannot use the internal table comparison method for this purpose also i am not using OOP ALV.
    So kindly sugest me an alternative.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Shahana

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer. I already saw this post.
    See this method.
    CALL METHOD reuse_alv_grid->check_changed_data
    IMPORTING
    e_valid = lv_check.
    This will update the internal table with the edited values. Then we can go for internal table comparison.
    But my scenario will not allow me for itab comparisons.I just want to know the ALV data has been changed or not.
    Regards,
    Shahana

  • Is there a simple way to detect a textfield value has been changed on exit?

    The filler may enter the textfield then type something and revert it back,
    any command that can simply detect a field's value has been changed on it's exit event?

    Niall,
    I was thinking if there is any simple command like xfa.event.prevText in dropdown box that I can use,
    anyway, thanks for your help.

  • Office Add-in Request Definition has been changed error

    Hi,
    When refreshing a request in Excel sometimes I get the error "Request Definition has been changed on server since last download. Please use Edit Prompts and Levels to select new filters.". However, I haven't changed the request.
    The idea is to have some Excel files ready to be refreshed according to some period. To prevent the changing of the request definition, the request is filtered with dates returned by another request. With this approach I have managed to alter the dates and have a normal refresh without any problems. However sometimes (even when not changing the interval dates) I get this very same error.
    Can anyone explain this or know any workaround to prevent this?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Did anyone came back to you with help on this issue?
    If yes , can you please share that with me as i am also facing the same issue here.
    Please mail me to [email protected] when you have sometime for this.
    Thanks a lot.
