New Network Locations Being Created on Their Own

I'm having an interesting problem with the Network Location feature.
About 70% of the time I wake my MBP or turn it on, it does not automatically reconnect to my preferred wireless network, and it automatically creates a new network location based on the date and time. I then have to manually select my wireless network.
What ends up happening over a couple months is that I get tons of locations that I have to manually get rid of. They look like this:
Location (10/4/08 2:35PM)
Location (9/28/08 10:09AM)
Location (9/26/08 8:34PM)
etc etc - hundreds of these!
And instead of staying on Automatic, where my mac remembers my home network, it selects the most recent location and I always have to manually reconnect to my home air port network and type in my password.
Some other facts about this:
- This been happening since 10.5.4, and continues since I updated to 10.5.5
- I've tried permissions repairs and zapping the PRAM.
- I started out just having the network set to automatic, air port as the highest networking service order, then ethernet, remembering any wireless network that I join. A very normal and basic setup, and this problem just crops up and won't go away.
Is there a specific preference file for this that I should try trashing?
Any help and suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi ,
The default mode of Forms is the insert mode.... This means that-in all the cases except when you have set your form in query mode-your form is ready to insert data if of course you have typed some values in the text fields or selected from a list item e.t.c. . In other words , your block(s) are marked as new...
That happens in your situation .. when you select the PROD1 and PROD2 afterwards, the block containing the master block is marked as new and the detail block as new , as well.....because of the master-detail connection through the use of primary-foreign key....
In order to avoid this annoying message "value must be entered" , you can:
Set the Required property of the item-which is the primary key- to "No".
Greetings,
Simon

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this?

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.

The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Factory reset.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

My children are currently sharing an account with my ex husband, how can create them their own account so they are not dependent on him, will they lose all their music they have bought on his account?

As far as I can tell, they don't have their own libraries or store accounts

Thank you this helps, also once they create their own id, will their purchased songs be theirs?
Yes.
Can they share a library together somehow??
They can either share an Apple ID, or, if they create two seperate accounts, they can authorize the same computer with two different apple IDs so purchases across both accounts are accessible on the same machine.
An additional option for sharing an iTunes library across machines on the same network exists:

New websites do not open in their own tab when left-clicked, despite setting up Firfox to do so - links OK however

From the Google search results , if I left-click a site, firefox does not open new site in a new tab. I have accessed tools/options/tabs and the ticked the box to open new windows in their own tab.

Use Ctrl left click
* or right click and use open in new tab
The open in tab option you have selected is for where the action would otherwise open a new window.

When clicking on link in email, new tab NOT being created, but new window on existing tab - I want NEW TAB for each link clicked on...

Up until today, whenever I clicked on link in email, a NEW TAB would be created. Now, when I click on link, a new WINDOW on existing tab is created - I WANT A NEW TAB, not a window...

Hmmm, which mail site is this?
One possibility is that you had a tab-related extension that automatically opened regular links in a new tab, and that the extension was disabled because it was incompatible with the latest version. To check for disabled add-ons, visit the Tools > Add-ons dialog.
As a short term workaround: you probably know you can force a link to open in a new tab by holding Ctrl when you click the link, or by using the "middle" mouse button (often the scroll wheel). I find that quicker than right-clicking the link and choosing Open in new tab.

Relocating 'source' photos to new network location???

I have all of my family's photos on my Time Capsule (in a specific folder). The TC is almost full so I am am moving all my media to a new NAS device and dedicating my TC to backups. They are on a network drive so that they can be access by multiple users across multiple computers.
When setting up iPhoto I imported the photos on the Time Capsule with the "Copy items to the iPhoto library" option UNCHECKED so I would not fill up my local hard disk with duplicates.
If I just move all the photos from the TC to the new NAS then iPhoto will complain that it can't find the photos any more. Is there any way I can update the library to get it to look for the photos in the new location? I do not want to lose all of the events, albums, places and faces by having to reimport them all again. (I have 4 users across three computers to update) I will be in deep doggie doo from one particular user if everything is lost.

- my account and my wife's account on both iMac and MacBook share a common library
That's four Users on Two machines.
The only way to do what you want is to put the Library on an external disk - USB or FIrewire.
This disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and set to ignore File Permissions.
To move the Library:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library. Do this from each machine and each account in turn.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Next Up: Connecting to it:
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
If you're viewing and so on the a Wireless Connection is fine.

Creating a trigger to only run when a new table is being created

I know that I can use this to create DDL create trigger;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER
create_table_trigger
AFTER CREATE ON SCHEMA
DECLARE
BEGIN
END;Problem is this trigger would run on DDLs like 'Create sequence'; how can I only execute this for 'Create Table' DDLs?
Edited by: wonderboy87 on Jan 26, 2011 6:39 PM

Check ora_sysevent coupled with ora_dict_obj_type in your trigger. That will help you capture the CREATE TABLE event.

Create/ Rename Network Location via ARD

I have been trying to figure out how to setup a new network location for all of my client computers (55 of them) without having to manually access the machines (either physically or remotely).
The command "networksetup" is supposed to be able to do this according to this page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=RemoteDesktop/3.0/en/ARDC880.html
Can anyone help me out here?
Cheers,
Mike

Do you know of any references?
I found location information in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
Could I use PlistBuddy to write the information needed to describe a location? From the scutil man page, I don't know how I'd use that command, but I'm open to learning. I just need to know where to find the documentation.
Thanks for your replies.

How do I set up different network locations with different wifi?

I am having an issue setting up different network locations with different wifi profiles on each. I want to do this to enable fast switching of wireless networks. In my house I have two wireless networks, my own personal one and one that is created by using a wifi modem supplied by my company. If I use the company wifi network then I can get into all my work applications without having to enable VPN access separately. It is also faster. However, they also block many applications including sending email from my personal email account, dropbox, etc. So throughout the day I need to switch wireless networks back and forth.
I was looking for a faster way to switch and thought I would try network locations. Was able to set up a new network location without issue. However it seems that whatever wireless preferences, changes, or wifi network order I put into my "Work" location it carries over to my other location which is the standard "Automatic".
What I would like it to have my "Work" location only to be able to connect to my work wifi and my other network (Automatic) to just connect to my home wifi only. That way I can enable faster wifi switching and can even use my launcher program (Alfred) to provide shortcuts.
Anyway to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Just thought I would bump this up in the conversation. Doing a further search I came across this discussion which is similar: Connecting to a wireless network via applescript?
However, I tried to build the Automator application as discussed and cannot get it to work. Very much a novice at Applescript and Shell Script but have created customized Automator services before. All I get now is "Shell Script command encountered an error". No more detail. I copied and pasted the script as shown in the email thread. Is there any other line or command I need to place in front of it?
Thanks again for any help

I added a new mini ipad and created a new email for it in icloud when i did that i could no longer get back in my apple ID and download anything and lost all my money on my account. it says my account never excisted which I had from 2007 and 1300 items

i opened an icloud account for a new mini ipad to give them their own email, so they wouldnt be on my account, but when I came back to my account I could no longer get in my account with my password, so my account was gone....and now all the accounts are over lapped and dont work right, I want to get back to my original apple ID and everything I have bought over the last 6 years!!
what do I do

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Mail: How to check an account ONLY from specific Network Location?

I use multiple macs, and use my .mac account to synchronize mail accounts, rules, smart mailboxes, signatures, etc.
However, I'd actually like to specifically NOT check certain accounts on some machines.
Even though the account settings are synced, I thought I might be able to take advantage of "Network Locations" to create specific network locations like HOME or WORK and thusly create a combination of mail and network location preferences that would solve my particular need. The idea being that it would allow me to specify in mail's settings (somehow) that a particular mail account should only check the server for messages if the current network location is actually WORK, and if the network location was HOME, it should just not check.
Some other apps (ie: Snerdware's Groupcal) will check the network location setting and not perform checks if the current location is not the expected one.
So the question is, is there some way to make Mail.app 2.1.3 on Tiger do this?

30 messages displayed is the default, but you can change that. On your email page, under "settings" is an option to change the number of messages per page. One option is "no limit."

Network locations and Airport connection

I've just installed Leopard on my MacBook Pro (late 2008) and did all the software updates (including AirPort Extreme Update 2008-004 which - as I found out too late - seems to cause a lot of problems).
Network System Preferences show funny beaviour: Every time I try to switch off AirPort connection for a new network location the network location will disappear completely and settings will switch back to the last active network location. So it is impossible to create a network location with AirPort inactive.
Apart from that, my System does not connect to my AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet, 802.11b) wireless LAN (not public, WEP-encrypted, MAC address filter). My other Macs (OS X 10.4 Tiger) connect to the AirPort wireless LAN without any problems. (I double-checked all the settings of course.)
Has anybody had similar problems? Thanks for your help.

Hi: located in england bought a new macbook pro upgraded leopard to 10.5.5 with that upgrade that got pulled very quickly.
I also have an old g4 with 10.4.11
The g4 works perfectly in recognizing the airport network and is up and running in no time. no problems.. the macbookpro with leopard has problems recognizing and logging in tothe the same router. it needs help or I just i there waiting. there is no set way of getting it back to working. but I tend to go into network preferences and it says airport logged on but no connection. the g4 is happy and set up. I then turn off airport and turn it on. eventually I am back and running just fine but do not go to sleep or close the machine cheers
ps. I work from locations with different routers and different isp's same problems......
therefore it must leopard...(or the airport card in the machine)

New network adapters

Hi Guys,
We have the following problem. Our customer has the following equipment
Dell Latiude E7440 and Targus Docking stations (ACP70EU).
On every workplace is a dockingstation, now the Dell machine connects to the dockingstation and a new network adapter is created (Ethernet 3)
When we configure the 802.1x setting the client can connect to the network.
When we move the Dell machine to another workspace with another dockking station. the windows machine creates a new network adapter (ethernet 4) with the default windows settings (Window Protect Eap)
etc.
Do you know if there is a registry setting we can adjust so that every new network adapter gets the correct Windows Certificate settings?
regards,
Peter

Peter,
You can accomplish this through Group Policies. There is a VERY helpful guide to enable Certificate Templates and dot1x configuration on the client in the Partner GOLD Labs.
Start by going here:

Choose Path 3:
Then Choose the AD-LDAP lab:
You will have to have you CCO ID to get here. If you cannot log in, then you should ask your AM for access.

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:
