Network dissapeared from desktop

Just lost workgroup network on my iMac.Running updated Leopard.I'm able to connect to shared workgroup drives via "last used" but i don't see the network icon or computers anymore. Please advise.
Also constantly freezing while on slide show screen saver. After going to sleep, unable to use keyboard or mouse to get into the system. Slideshow frozen on the screen between two pictures. Have to hold on power button in order to restart iMac.

Hi George
Last night i restored the system via Time Machine and rolled back to 02/01/08.
I was able to get the network drives on the desktop, again by using the option LAST USED FOLDERS.
When i do that than one of the network computers shows under shared (the one containing the shared drives.But does not shows on the left side of the window until i manually invoking to connect to the shared drive.
Others still unable to see or to connect to, even the mack book.
I tried to do the system test. I inserted the TechTools disk in, hold the C key and restarted the Mac - nothing happened, the system just booted. (I installed the upgrade for TechTool Pro previously)Tried this for 5-6 times.
I tried to clean the PREM to with no succes - hold the CONTROL + OPTIONS + P + R, started the Mac while holding the power key pressed - nothing, the system just booted to login screen - no BEEPS at all????????
Kind of LOST in space i guess.
I changed the settings for screen saver and power saver: instead of showing a slide show, i choose the RSS feed, to turn on after one hour of inactivity.
I disabled the power management so the system nor the HD won't go to sleep.
I'll post you with findings on this. I did it last night.
Buy the way the system is iMac 20" duo w/2gb ram.

Photoshop documents dissapearing from desktop

I'm using Photoshop CS3 for windows, running in parallels on my iMac with Lion OS. Documents I'm working on keep disappearing from the PS desktop. I then have to close PS and start again, but not before being asked If I want to save the documents. Obviously the documents are still there, but where, and how do I get them back,
thanks, IanM

... and you are posting on Mac Pro forum because... we tend to run Windows VMs using Parallels and know CS3?
Checked that your VM image isn't corrupt? that it is large enough? and you allocated or need more RAM?
There are forums on Parallels own site.
Also are you sure CS3 is workable?
Helps to include little things like hardware, what you did, what version of Windows, and that Parallels is latest version and supports Lion and CS3.
Sorry. Can't really help.

Cc app dissapears from desktop

The CC app disappeared from my desktop when I tried to change the name - which I have done before with no problem.. When
trying to re-download - I get the screen but no icon. - and the screen disappears too.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC desktop app.
Things appeared to be fine.
Today I turned on my computer and the same problem has happened again. I cannot use Prelude.
is this something to do with my email being hacked via the adobe hacks?
It is completely unacceptable to have this expensive product that doesn't work as it should. I have used adobe products for 15 years with no problems before now

Creating a Network Straight from the Desktop (No Router)

I have created a network straight from the desktop without a router with no protection/security key. It's on channel 11 (automatic). My internet on the desktop is working and when I connect to the network wirelessly with a PC, it connects & obtains the IP address without any issues. When I open my browser on the laptop, page cannot be displayed. I'm using Windows XP on a brand new laptop. Why can't this be simple?

What kind of wireless router do you have? Is the printer connected wireless to the router?
What kind of desktop computer do you have? How is the desktop computer connected to the router?

Cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista

Hi All,
I cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista. Explorer
crashes. It is a Captivate 2 file.
I have tried (with no luck):
- logging in as a different user and deleting the file.
- running explorer as an Administrator
- uninstalling Captivate.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
Raef

Hi Raef,
That is a strange issue. Here are a couple more ideas you
could try:
- Have you tried renaming the file (including suffix)?
- Have you rebooted?
- Do you get any error messages when trying to delete, such
as "Acess Denied"?
- Is your machine networked? Is it possible someone else has
the file open?
- Can the file be moved to another location or put in a
folder (and then deleted)?
- Have you tried using the Command Prompt / DOS mode to
delete the file?
It sounds like it could be a Vista issue so I would look at
the Microsoft Vista forums too. Sorry I do not have an exact
answer.
IHTH,
Aaron

Doing catalog work on laptop when away from desktop computer

I just recently moved from doing all my work on a single machine (laptop, MacBook Pro) connected to a 5 bay external hard drive to using 2 machines, a desktop (Mac Pro) hooked up to the 5 bay eternal HD and the laptop.
My set up - Desktop running Snow Leopard, Laptop Leopard. They are networked with an Airport Extreme. I log into the Desktop from the laptop rather than use File Sharing.
I'm still using Lightroom 2.7, single license, so I wouldn't have LR running on both machines at the same time. Catalog is stored on the Desktops internal HD - User/Pictures/Lightroom/Catalog. I use a single catalog, 30,000+ images. Catalog is approx 550MB.
I've got it pretty well figured out how to export a catalog from the laptop to the desktop after returning with images from a shoot, but, while I work a lot at my desk on the desktop, I want to be able to work on my catalog with my laptop. Hoping for some advise on how to do that. I'm looking to only do catalog type work on the laptop - evaluating, rating, deleting, keywording etc. I will not be doing any Developing or working on the actual image files, which are stored on the external 5 bay HD connected to the Desktop.
2 situations:
1. When I'm in another part of my space with my laptop and connected to my desktop (wireless), I go to the catalog located on the Desktop, I get a msg that Lightroom catalogs cannot be opened on network volumes. So how do I simply work on my LR catalog, using the laptop, when I'm networked to the Desktop?
2. When I'm away from my space, traveling etc, so not networked to the desktop. In this case I assume I would want to Export a copy of the catalog onto the laptop or a small portable HD and work on it while I'm away. But when I return, should I then Export the whole catalog back to the Desktop, or is there a Synchronize type function where LR updates the changes only? Is there a safe way to do this that minimizes the risk of introducing errors if the whole master catalog is moved back and forth? Should I break up my single large catalog in to smaller bite sized chunks that would be easier to move back and forth?
Thanks for any advise. If this is easier to accomplish on LR 3, that would be a good reason to upgrade.

My master catalogs are heftier than I want to clone all over the place so I use the following method.
In LR, put the files you want to work on in a subfolder of your Primary catalog
Export Folder As Catalog with previews, but without including the DNG's
At your new location/machine work on that catalog.
Here's the part that's no fun, (obviously have a backup of your catalog before you do this)
In your primary catalog REMOVE that folder from your catalog. (this will remove all references within your catalog, but leave the RAW files alone where they were)
You then FILE-->IMPORT FROM ANOTHER CATALOG, and import your subfolder export back into your Primary catalog.
It'll bring all of your changes and previews back into your Primary catalog but with unlinked RAW files.
Click on the question mark in the corner of the thumbnail that's telling you it doesn't know where the source files are and LOCATE the original file again in your file structure, with the FIND NEARBY MISSING PHOTOS box checked.
Overly complicated for what it is, but it gets the job done.

How to get information from desktops into SQL?

Hello Everyone,
I could use some help with an idea that I have been working on. I basically am looking for a way to capture information from desktops and get that data into a SQL database. Could anyone give me any links, kb articles, etc on how I can go about doing this?
Any help would be very appreciated
Thanks :)

Powershell is the tool for you. If you could please move this post to powershell; you should get better response. I almost certain that there are already some powershell scripts that does this, or at least will give you a report or a excel\csv file
with this information.
once you have that info you import that data into sql and sql server agent jobs you can automate.
Below are some of the resources :

My home folder and my Hard disk icon have dissapeared from my mac. How do I get them back?

My home folder and my Hard disk icon have dissapeared from my mac. How do I get them back?

Try a restart. If the problem is the same, try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command
and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Relaunch Finder (command - option - esc) and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

I'm currently using 3gs. My 'Personal Hotspot' option suddenly dissapear from my 'Settings'. How can i get my 'Personal Hotspot' option back?

i'm currently using 3gs. My 'Personal Hotspot' option suddenly dissapear from my 'Settings'. How can i get my 'Personal Hotspot' option back?

The iOS5 upgrade for the iphone allowed network operators to control the availability of the 'personal hotspot' feature. If your operator is one of those who charge extra for tethering (and most do) then by upgrading to ios5 you've facilitated them to remove the option for you.
Apple bowed to the demands of the opertators on this one.
I am with Tesco(O2) and as soon as I upgraded to ios5 I lost the 'personal hotspot' option.
I have the last laugh though; They cant control my Android phone so I put the Tesco mobile sim into that when I want to use tethering.
Get an Android phone or if you're in the UK use Three mobile who allow tethering.

Creating a network bridge from ethernet to wifi for xbox

Hey guys, I'm trying to create a network bridge from eth0(ethernet port) to ra0(wifi) in an attempt to avoid buying a wireless adapter for my new Xbox 360 I got this Christmas. With Windows, it looks incredibly simple(just going into network settings and right clicking basically) but I don't want to boot into windows every time I want to use live... I have searched around the net but I always get DNS errors whenever I play with iptables, does anyone have a good way to get this to run?

Any chance you guys are going to finish answering it? Since Arch is the do-it-yourself distro, can we get a group of people together who want to make a package or go "fix" the NetworkManager source code to include support for autoconfiguration of bridges?
Windows calls them bridges now, just for your information. In windows you select or highlight both network interface devices at the same time, right click on either one, and select "Bridge Connections". This is incredibly easy for the user, and it is just as powerful as that mess of instructions you gave up there.
scripts are OK, but they should never be the final solution to a problem. Remember it helps if more people don't have to know everything about an operating system. If people can avoid the complexity of Linux, they will be happier, more productive, and will enjoy contributing software to Linux or telling their friends about Linux.
If it requires this "splint" scripting that doesn't work 100% of the time, Linux is going to die a very grisly death. I know more and more people nowadays who know to Bridge the connections in Windows to get internet on their xbox 360s. I can't convince any of them that Linux is better because they ignore the rest of Linux and complain about this one missing feature. Indeed even I can't use Linux to bridge my laptop's connections for use with my desktop or another computer that needs to download 3rd party wireless drivers from the internet.
I am a huge proponent of Linux, but to be honest, I notice that a bunch of work still needs to be done. I realize the market and business forces are set against Linux right now, but if everyone would stop making new distros and instead fix the packages that go into the existing ones, we could have Linux replace Windows within 5 years.
If you don't like a distro, go work for the company and help them improve it. Making your own distro is not going to help solve the watered-down developer population.
Networking is something that is VERY important to people. NetworkManager was a great success and boon to everyday Linux usage. It needs a bit of polishing; that is all.
