Odd folder alias behavior...

I recently noticed that one of my alias icons which points to a regular folder (not a smart folder) will either jump to a different location on the desktop, almost as if "clean up..." or "arrange..." were selected, or disappear entirely for a few seconds then reappear. It is consistently the same folder alias and the same location that it jumps to, and seems to happen when I'm saving a text edit document on the desktop (not into the aforementioned folder). Another oddity is that it only happens when the alias s located on the extreme right of the screen. Any ideas why??

Either you’ve messed with the Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced settings, or those settings have become corrupt, or you have one or more rules that have a bearing on this.
Assuming it isn’t the latter, try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

  • Odd Junk Mail Behavior

    I've been experiencing odd Junk Mail behavior on my Mac; I've got the Mail app set so it puts the emails it thinks is Junk in the Junk folder. I do this because I've noticed that certain legitimate emails keep ending up in the Junk folder automatically.
    I've also noticed that some of the emails in the Junk folder have not actually been flagged as Junk Mail, they were not colored brown by the Junk Mail rule and there is no button available to tell Mail it's not Junk. How do I stop Mail from flagging something as Junk when it doesn't seem to tag it as Junk but it still ends up in the Junk folder?
    I see emails tagged as Junk in the Junk folder that are legit, so I click the "Not Junk" button and move them back to the proper mail folder. But the next time I get mail from the same source, it gets flagged and tagged as Junk again. I thought the Mail app learns from the training we give it. How do I resolve this situation?
    I've already set the Junk filtering to not filter emails from recipients who are in my Address Book.

  • Odd Calc Order Behavior

    Hello all,
    I've put together a hybrid analysis cube and I'm experiencing some odd calc order behavior. It appears the years are calculating backwards.
    I load my 2007 end balances and calc forward three years. 2008 is correct, but 2009 and 2010 are incorrect. They are incorrect inasmuch as the calcs that require 2008/2009 end balances are incorrect. So I run the script again and now 2009 is right, but 2010 is incorrect. Then I run it once more and 2010 is correct.
    It appears the end balances for 2008 and 2009 aren't available for 2009 and 2010, respectively. Thus, I think 2010 is calcing first, but with no 2009 end bals, so it's off. Then 2009 goes, again no end bals, so it's off. Then 2008 calcs, and since 2007 end bals are in there, it's calcing correctly. Thus, I have to calc again two times for 2009 and 2010 to be correct.
    Here's my script:
    Fix (@IRSiblings("2008"),"ScenarioMbr")
    CALC ALL EXCEPT DIM("Years","Scenario");
    Endfix
    ScenarioMbr is a level 0 descendant of the Scenario dimension.
    Thanks for any help anyone has.

    I would suggest checking on your outline order. It sounds like your ending balance hasn't been calculated by the time the beginning balance needs it (as evidenced by your three passes). The order of members in your FIX statement has no bearing on the calculation order. By this, I mean make sure that your Years dimension is ordered as follows...
    Years
    + 2007
    + 2008
    + 2009
    + 2010
    Also, make sure that your periods (where your months are is, assuming it is a different dimension) is located above your Years dimension.
    Lastly, how are you facilitating getting your Ending balances into your Beginning balances? Sometimes the sequencing for this type of work is improtant as well. For example, if your Ending Balance is a two-pass, it will not be ready until a second pass is done.
    IF this doesn't help, maybe provide one of the BegBal members that isn't working, your outline order, the order of the Years dimension, and the dense/sparse settings (assuming BSO).
    Good Luck!!

  • Cannot remove a broken sidebar network folder alias in Finder window

    Mac OS 10.6.7 -- WinXP Home
    I have a created netowork folder alias in the sidebar of my Finder window that points to a shared folder on an officemate's PC (WinXP Home). This folder has been deleted on the officemate's computer. Now, in my Finder window, I cannot click on the alias. Clicking on the broken network sidebar folder aliases or dragging them off of the side bar (they used to vanish in a puff of smoke but now they don't) does nothing.
    I can right/control-click is but the only option in the sub-menu is "Open Sidebar Preferences..." and nothing else (other aliases have all the options including "Remove from sidebar"). I can't even drag the folder aliases off of the sidebar in a puff of smoke either. I'm at a loss on this one.
    Any ideas how to remove these broken sidebar aliases? Even opening the sidebar preference panel yielded nothing I could see that would help.

    If you have installed Developer Tools on your Mac (Optional Installs on your MacOS X installer DVD) then you can delete individual aliases in the Finder sidebar, using Property List Editor, which you'll find in Developer > Applications > Utilities.
    In your Home folder go to User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Control-right click and choose Open With > Property List Editor.
    Scroll down to "useritems" and click the grey arrow next to it to reveal contents.
    Click the arrow next to CustomListItems and you'll see a list of entries marked "Item" with a numeric suffix.
    Click the grey arrow next to the Item whose number corresponds to the sidebar alias that you want to get rid of and you'll see the info associated with that entry, including its name, as seen in the sidebar.
    If it's the right one, click again on the Item header (i.e. "Item [x]") and hit delete.
    Quit Property List Editor and Save changes.
    Quit and relaunch Finder and that item will be gone from the sidebar list. Everything else will still be there, and you won't need to rebuild the list.

  • Dock folder alias's & "Open in Finder" open address book app

    Hello all,
    My Issue:
    It would appear that any "alias" and "Open in Finder" calls to open a "folder",  have instead been redirected to open "Addressbook.app".
    When did it start?
    After trying to figure out how to import my iPhone contacts into the "Address Book" on my "MacBook Pro". DETAILS:  iTunes and multiple 3rd party apps cannot see the "contact group" on my iPhone (that contains my 250 contacts). Many hours of experimentation/troubleshooting of the iPhone address book issue, appears to have inadvertently caused the current issue.
    The Details:
    1)  With any folders( Documents, Downloads or any others ) placed on the dock:  If I select "Open in Finder" the "AddressBook" app is launched & displays a Dialog box with this message: "No cards added.  No importable cards were found.". 
    2) Any "folder" alias created and placed on the Dock does the same thing( as item 1 above ): When the alias is clicked, the "AddressBook" app is launched & displays a Dialog box with this message: "No cards added.  No importable cards were found.".  
    My Troubleshooting:
    1) If I move the AddressBook app from the  "Applications" folder to the "Desktop" folder then the following system dialog box message is displayed:
    "You are opening the application 'AddressBook.app' for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?". It also notes that "Addressbook.app" is now located in the "Desktop" folder and, if I then choose "OK", (there after) the same issue as previously described in items 1 and 2 above occurs.
    2) Same exact problem( with a different app ) is described in this post but, nothing here fixed my issue :  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1746309?start=15&tstart=0
    There's probably any easy fix to this that I've overlooked( seems related to "system file associations", etc) but, I'm hoping the forum members will set me straight quicker then I can stumble on the solution.
    Thanks in advance to any respondants.

    Yep, I completed all the recommendations in the post I referenced. Getting Baltwo involved is a good suggestion. I rarely post so, not sure how to do that.
    I'll research and dig around the system files some more. It must be buried in there somewhere. It seems obvious that a Dock or related system setting  ( that should point to Finder when opening a Folder )  has been changed to point to the Addressbook app instead.  It's like a bad alias( or Windows short-cut ) pointing to the wrong thing, except it's a system setting problem ( with regards to it being a normal function of the Dock and not something a user creates, like an alias ).
    One important clue:  If I put Addressbook.app in the trash, everything works fine.  Maybe I'll leave it in the trash and try to reinstall it from the Snow Leopard CD. 
    I checked out your iPhone link for the other issue that lead to all this.  Unfortunately, I already went through that scenario with no success in getting my 250 contatcts into my Macbook Pro address book. The gist of that issue is all my iPhone contacts are in a group that iTunes(etc) can't see. One thing I did was recreate my contatcts group in Addressbook.app so it showed up in iTunes sync settings. Checked it, synced my phone and still didn't work. Did a bunch of other stuff too, also to no avail.
    Thanks for your efforts Bruce, I appreciate it.

  • Odd file move behavior

    On my startup disk, I have a movie file (.mov) and a folder I want to collect movies in. Straightforward enough.
    So I click/drag the .mov file onto the folder. It shows me the green + icon, and when I let go, it COPIES the file into the folder, not by simply MOVING the file from the disktop to the folder. Wha?
    When I grab that same file in the folder and move it to the disktop, it works as expected, insisting that it must be DUPLICATED, replacing the disktop, original file.
    OK. So instead of doing that, I decide to trash the original file, then move the version out of the folder and back to the disktop.
    In order to do that, I use the contextual menu that drops down with Control+mouse click. It now asks me for my administrator password to do the trash move. (???)
    Once the original has been tossed, the file will now move from folder to disktop and back to folder with complete impunity. But if I try this with another .mov file, the process starts all over again.
    No extra key combo during the original move gets rid of the + icon.
    Permissions were repaired. No change.
    Log off was cycled, no change.
    Obviously somehow this disk has picked up wierdness when Leopard replaced well-tempered Tiger on it, but where is the checkbox that dumps this odd behavior?
    No Right-click on the mighty mouse will bring down the contextual menu at all.

    Yea! The Mac is back on track!
    It took extra innings and a visit to 1 800 APL CARE to get to the bottom of it, but this therapy should be on everyone's A-list: The Install disk's version of Disk Utility is significantly different from any version you can install on your hard drives. Or so it would appear.
    Where the Disk Utility can be there for you on two different hard drives connected to the same computer, running it from different drives is not at all the same - in visible results - as running it directly from the OS X Install Disk.
    You can have several disks with OS X on them and run Disk Utility on your main startup disk from those, but they won't find all the messy permissions that are gumming up your system.
    It took yet another previous back up Restore cycle, an extra clean install, followed immediately by an Install Disk run of Disk Utility's First Aid/Repair Disk Permissions to clear the cobwebs. Frequent re-weedings (after any program installs or upgrades from anybody, including Apple's own) finds more things to fix. Not always, but frequently.
    The Install Disk's Disk Utility--it's not just for breakfast any more.

  • Odd Exchange notes behavior

    I'm trying to get access to Notes from Microsoft Exchange on my iPhone 2g with the 2.0 firmware, but am noticing some odd behavior.
    The phone is set to receive push email from my work Exchange webmail server. It is currently sending and receiving emails just fine. However, if I create a note on a desktop running Outlook and then tell the phone to sync the notes folder (which it sees), nothing shows up.
    On the other hand, if I send myself an email to the same account, then move the message into the notes folder via the iPhone, the messages will appear in the notes folder on both the device and the Outlook client.
    But if I move that same email via the Outlook client and sync the folder on the iPhone, the email will not show up. Am I missing something?

    Either you’ve messed with the Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced settings, or those settings have become corrupt, or you have one or more rules that have a bearing on this.

  • Odd subversion client behavior - has anyone seen this?

    We are using DW CS4 with the subversion client for version control. One of our developers, working on a mac with OS X v 10.5.6, sees odd behavior when using 'Put' to send a file from his local copy to either a testing server or the remote site. What happens is - any unopened folders in the local copy get + signs indicating they don't exist in the svn repository. The  + signs don't appear if the folder is already opened, and they go away on a refresh or on switching between any of the left pane sites (test, remote and repository).  I tried replicating this behavior on a windows box (virtual machine running w2K server 2003 SP 2, terminal services, accessed via RDP) but could not replicate.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is it a harmless annoyance or something more? Any feedback would be great- thank you!

    Thanks, appreciated.  I was just looking for somebody to put this in perspective.
    I've also seen performance & stability issues with the SVN client - it chokes if you try to check out too many files at once, for example when first populating a local copy from a repository.  I would be interested to know if Adobe has a set of best practices for initial setup of repositories and local copies as this would be very helpful, especially for large sites where there might be some valuable ways to save time in setup.

  • Creating a folder alias on a shared network drive

    Hi,
    I have a folder that is housed on my computer that I would like an alias of on my company's shared network drive. I will have access to the shared network drive from my home computer either through Citrix or a VPN, so I would like the alias on that drive so that it will reflect any changes I make to the files within either from my work or from my home computer. My question therefore is, how do I create an alias of a folder on a shared network drive? I tried creating an alias on my local drive and then dragging it to the shared network drive, but that just copied the folder and removed the alias.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Nevermind. I must have copied over the original folder the first time instead of the alias, as a simple drag and drop of an alias folder just worked fine for me.

  • Nexus 5000 - Odd Ethernet interface behavior (link down inactive)

    - I can't seem to understand this behavior?!  In that, why would configuring the port cause the link to go down?
    - If anyone has experience this before, or could shed some light on this behavior, it would be appreciated.

    I had identical issue
    Two interfaces on two different FEXes were INACTIVE. I have two Nexus 5596 in vPC and A/A FEXes.
    I also use config-sync feature.
    Very same configuration was applied to other ports on other FEXes and they were working with no problems.
    interface Ethernet119/1/1
      inherit port-profile PP-Exchange2003
    I checked VLAN status associated with this profile and it was active (of course it was, other ports were ok).
    I solved it by removing port profile from this port and re-applied it... voila, port changed state to up!
    Very very strange.

  • Odd/Limited Mouse Behavior

    I have an intermittent problem with my mouse behavior in 10.6. Actually, I'm pretty sure I had the same problem in 10.5, it's just a fiendishly intermittent problem that has an as yet undetermined cause & solution. All I know is that it occasionally occurs and eventually resolves itself.
    What happens is that I can still click things, scroll, right click to open a more extensive menu, etc., but certain ancillary (yet surprisingly critical) functionality stops working for a time.
    For example, hovering my mouse over a link in Safari does not turn the pointer into a "hand with an extended index finger" or does not cause embedded pop up messages to appear (on sites I'm familiar with, no less, so I know they have them). On my Safari browser tabs, the 'x' to close individual tabs does not appear unless I first click on a tab once, and it closes when I click it a second time.
    In menus - anywhere, not just in Safari - clicking on File or Edit or View opens the window, but selections do not highlight and track my mouse movements the way they normally do. This makes submenus impossible to use without clicking and holding once I reach the submenu I want to open, and releasing the click when I reach the option I want to select.
    The Dock, which I have set to Show/Hide based on my mouse movements, will not pop up when I move my mouse all the way to the bottom of the screen. If I click my mouse once while the pointer is essentially invisible (being at the extreme bottom of the screen), the Dock will sometimes appear, but not always. When it does appear, the icons in the dock do not enlarge/magnify based on my lateral mouse movements the way they normally do.
    In iTunes, when I'm watching a TV show or movie in full screen mode, the controller does not appear when I move my mouse the way it normally does.
    And so on.
    I have never found a working remedy for this affliction, I usually just have to ride it out, i.e., I deal with the limited functionality until something decides to work right again. I have reset my mouse (it's a wireless Logitech mouse with five buttons, including the scroll wheel, but I had a wired mouse way back in Leopard), I have restarted my Mac, reset Safari, reset my System Preferences, repaired Disk Permissions, I have even junked the entire Preferences folder and restarted. I have also switched to different mice, but they have the same problem while the problem is occurring.
    I don't believe this is a settings issue, I think it has something to do with Java or something, which occasionally goes on a holiday.
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. I've been enduring the issue the last day and a half and this is the longest it's ever lasted without correcting itself.

    Check for any dust in the LED hole. Try using a plain surface, like a solid colored mouse pad, if the surface is on the shiny side. If that does not work...
    Try starting up from Mac OS X installation disc. If the mouse is also erratic when booted from another system, you can rule out the 10.5.3 update as the cause.
    If it works normally when you are booted from the installation disc, there is probably some issue with your current installation.

  • Odd Port 139 Behavior

    Hi everyone,
    I've been running in to some trouble with my university's IT department. They say that my Mac Mini (1.66GHz CoreDuo) has times when it's trying to connect to something via port 139 (netbios-ssn). They claim that it averages over 1 attempt per second. However, in all of my snooping, using Activity Monitor, Network Utility, and Little Snitch, I've never noticed anything odd. I do admit that I might not be observing it at the correct times, but I would like to get to the bottom of this. Currently my IT department has my computer "quarantined" and won't authorize it to access the network again until I can sort this out.
    Have any of you heard of something like this before (the 139 connection attempts)?
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave DeLong

    At least for me, anytime I use a file dialog I get a message from little snitch telling me that it's trying to connect to port 139 - so any time I try to open or save a document, etc. Little Snitch tells me that the program I'm using is trying to connect via port 139.
    Same for when I try to choose a network printer.
    The snitch tells me about connect attempts over port 139 quite often, but not once per second.
    Finder is doubtless doing its own queries to "discover" what's out there on the network.
    I have a hard time believing it's even an issue, as every Mac, Linux, and Unix box that tries to connect to the windows shares on the network are going to have similar behavior. The Engineering department alone would be *+up in arms+* over such a policy. **** hath no fury like a few dozen EE students whose computers are banned.
    First because it's asinine - a connection attempt over port 139 is fairly innocent; you have to discover what's on the CIFS/SMB (ie. Windows shares) network somehow. Pretty much every non-Microsoft device (including Macs) that can access Windows shares uses "samba", which can be set to periodically ping the network to discover shares on the network. The whole point is so things "plug and play" without the IT manager having to do anything.

  • Odd battery/charge behavior

    Something odd happened today with my MBP (2011)...  I'm working away with it while it's plugged into power and all of a sudden it starts charging... but I never unplugged it or lost power or anything (and it's on a mondo UPS anyway).
    It's been showing 98% instead of 100%, but showing "fully charged" with a green light and from reading the articles from Apple this is totally normal.  I did manage to get it to show 100% after a SMC reset, but after a subsequent reboot it went back to 98%.  Anyway, it actually looks like it's going to charge to 100% now (99% and still showing orange light).
    Has anyone seen this behavior?  Normal?  Something to consider going to Apple store about?
    Thanks.

    I understand the system will charge when it needs to, but in all my days with MacBook's and the like I've never seen one up and start charging AFTER being plugged in for several days and without any provocation (i.e. unplugging it for a few minutes).
    My battery info all looks really good and the condition says "normal" so as long as "normal" is the same as "good" then it's probably fine.  Still odd, but fine.

  • Odd Smart Mailbox Behavior

    I receive a lot of mail with attachments so I created a Smart Mailbox with the following conditions -- ALL must be met:
    1. Contains Attachments
    2. Date Received is not in the last 2 weeks
    My goal is to keep my mail intact for 2 weeks, and then delete the attachments so I can save disk space.
    The Smart Mailbox works but not as I expected. I would assume that every day there would be at least one message that meets the conditions since I receive at least one attachment per day. What actually occurs is that the Smart Mailbox only shows mail every two weeks but some of the messages are older than two weeks -- as old as four weeks. The behavior seems odd to me.
    Any suggestions?

    If it's "not in the last 2 weeks" then it'll show messages older than the last 2 weeks. Do you want to show messages that are 2 weeks old? If yes, then change "not in the last 2 weeks" to "is exactly 2 weeks".
