Problems with disabling FileVault?

Hi friends,
I'm taking my MBP in to be assessed for a trade-in. They want to keep it for the day to check its condition, so I'd like to secure my data before handing it over.
My plan is to create a spare account and leave the new account logged in. Moreover, I'm thinking of turning FileVault on for my main account before switching to the spare. That should allay my paranoia.
I'm wondering if there is anything to anticipate about turning FileVault off after the assessment is done. I don't intend to use it continually. My understanding is that the system will extract the encrypted image, and leave my home folder is it was before turning FileVault on. I want to make sure there's not going to be any decryption trouble/performance hits in the aftermath.
Anyone have any comments? Thanks for your help.

You need to have at least the amount of space of your home folder free to decrypt. So, if your home folder is 40GB with FV, you need at least 40GB free on your hard drive to disable the feature.

I have a problem with disable my account in apple store

hi i got a problem with disable my account apple store... so what should i do?

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

This bug figures out also when creating a custom spark ComboBox, then trying to programatically update the userProposedSelectedIndex property. The proposed selected index is selected, but does not apply the same skin as when mouse is on rollover or item is selected due to up and down keys.
The issue seems like updating the status of the item renderer to rollover or selected to get the same skin applied.
Please could you attach DropDow nList.as that you edited ?
Thank you so much.

Problem with disabled code view

Hi,
I've a problem with a template-based website which works fine
in design view but will not allow edits in code view (with the
exception of the contents of the <title> element). The
template has multiple editable regions and has been deployed on
quite a few occasions to multiple authors with varying
configurations without any trouble before, but now it is causing
quite a bit of head-scratching!
The problem originally manifested in Dreamweaver MX 2004 on
Windows 2000. An upgrade to Dreamweaver 8 has taken place and the
issue persists. Testing on a similar computer using a standard
shared drive in Windows shows the same problem in Dreamweaver 8 but
was fine in Dreamweaver MX. Working with a copied set of files on a
remote computer (Win2k and DW MX 2004) seems to somehow resolve /
circumvent the problem and the code view works fine. Unfortunately
this isn't an option for the main authors of the site who have only
their current machines available.
The fifth post down in a
thread
over at DMXzone seems to refer to a similar problem, but the
workaround highlighted there has not worked for me.
I'm not really a heavy Dreamweaver user but I can normally
figure things out. This one however has got me stumped - anybody
got any ideas? (Apologies if it's a really simple setting or flag
that I should know about, but I've not been able to find anything!)
Cheers,
Dan

Problem with disabling Autoplay

As far as all the documents go, when I disable autoplay, the poster image is supposed to show up and the asset should play when I click on the poster image. Correct?
However, that doesn't happen...
The first thing I see is the first frame of my asset (paused) and no poster image to click on to play the animation.
I have Poster image set up and fallbacks, tried with preloaders, etc. I also tried creating a new document and same problem so I'm sure my file isn't damaged in any way.
Am I missing something here?
I guess a different approach would be to make a play-button, but how do I do that? I tried adding a sym.stop(); function to the beginning of the stage and a label "start" in the timeframe a few ms after. I placed a button symbol to the beggining and made visibily none on the "start" frame. I added a sym.play("start") to the click function of the button symbol and tested it out.
Nope. If I keep autoplay on, it'll completely ignore all functions and play the entire animation. If I turn autoplay off, it'll show the button but the function won't work so it won't start playing from "start"
Solutions to any of the two would be great.
Even better, is there a way to directly embed javascript to the animation so it would play when visible?

Hi, cheeyoon-
So the poster image can be inserted into one of three different places - used in the down-level stage, which is displayed to the user of IE6, 7, or 8, used in the preloader, which is what the user sees while the libraries are loading up (which can be quick), or packed in an OAM file to be displayed in InDesign. If autoplay is not set in InDesign, it will display until the user touches/clicks on it in their digital publication.
Otherwise, the poster image is not displayed to the user at all. If you want it to do the "touch me and I'll start playing," you can use your poster image like any other image. You can set it to the only visible object at the beginning of the timeline and make it an object you can touch to play the timeline.
Hopefully that gives you an idea of where the poster image is used and how to go about things going forward. Feel free to continue to ask questions!
Cheers,

Very disappointed that Lion is causing major problems with disable students assistive software in the UK. Software suppliers are not issuing patches/upgrades until 2012. Totally unacceptable attitude from Apple in ignoring disabled customers

This is going to affect a large number of disabled UK students as patches and upgrades for the specialist software are not due for release until late 2011/early 2012.
Only options they have is to revert to Snow leopard, defficult as Apple have even recall resellers stock and upgraded it to Lion.
I am contacting the UK educational funding bodies with a view to suspending purchasing of all Apple equipment until such time as the situation has resolved itself.

Ikrups says "Speaking of getting one's professional act together I would take a look in the mirror if I were you. A professional responsible for maintaining the computer equipment and network of a school system would certainly perform extensive testing of any new operating system upgrade before deploying it. Even the smallest corporations don't just upgrade software willy-nilly. If you had thought to set up a test system and verified what software worked and what didn't before deploying Lion to the entire system you would have been protecting your students from these issues. A professional would have discovered these issues and delayed deployment of Lion until the patches you mention were available. But you didn't and now you are trying to deflect blame from yourself and your staff. And you dare to accuse Apple of incompetence. I call hypocrisy"
I seem to have ruffled a couple of feathers. I do not remember saying I was responsible for computer systems/networks/school systems. Or accusing Apple of incompetence.
All I did was state that Apple seems to have forgotten or is not aware about the potential impact of Lion on disabled students in the UK and both apple and the assistive software suppliers failed to act together over this omission.
During our research prior to the launch of Lion we as a specialist group had identified 22 of the 40 applications used in assistive software that had 'Problems' this was communicated to all interested parties. Still waiting for the 'FIX'
FYI ALL parties have had similar notices on their BB's NOT just Apple.
despite being given 2 ears and 1 mouth some people do not listen twice as much as they speak.

Problem with disabling "ENTER" key in JTextArea

Hi,
I have the following codes to disable the 'ENTER' key in the JTextArea,
but it does not work. Does anyone know why?
KeyStroke enterKey = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0);
textarea.getKeymap().removeKeyStrokeBinding(enterKey);
textarea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
// do something
Thanks,
Pin

I don't know how you mean "disable", but if you are going to ignore the Enter key, then add a KeyListener to the text area, and in the key pressed method, consume() the key event if the VK_ENTER was pressed. That's all, and you don't have to deal with that key binding thingy.
The other two event types (typed and released) might be ignored, the enter is processed during key press (as it is now, with the default settings).
The reason is that processing the Enter key (and other such internally understood keys) is done by the peer, but the peer won't get the key event if it's already consumed.
FYI: Were it a JTextField, consuming the Enter key presses would mean that the field won't fire action events any more. Since text area does not fire action events, therefore it's a non issue.
FYI2: Consuming the event only blocks the event to be sent to the peer, all the other listeners still get it.

Problem with FileVault

Hello everyone
Last week my friend brought me his Macbook Pro and he asked me, if I can recover lost data from it. It was not very complicated and everything now is ok except his encrypt user account. The original is now on new 2,5 inch. 1TB drive and I have tried to connect it via USB (I have USB adapter). One problem is that after connection I see information:
Mac OS X can’t repair the disk “Macintosh HD.”
You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can’t save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can.
Now, I can browse his data (system,...etc), but I see nothing in his account. It was encrypted in FileVault. What should I do? What is wrong? Where can I find the solution?
Thanks a lot. Every advice will be helpful.

The linked article give you options using Terminal. Using them, you may be able to turn off file vault or add a new user to solve your problem. You are going to have to make sure you make the changes to his computer.
Enable or disable FileVault 2 encryption on a particular Mac
Use an individual recovery key, an institutional recovery key, or both kinds of recovery key.
Enable one or multiple user accounts at the time of encryption
Get a list of FileVault 2-enabled users on a particular machine
Add additional users after FileVault has been enabled
Remove users from the list of FileVault enabled accounts
Report on the status of FileVault 2 encryption or decryption

Problem with Checkbox that disables/enables other components.

Hi
As I show in the title, I have problems with a checkbox that enables/disables another components (three exactly).
I have done the follow:
1.- Set property "AutoSubmit" true in the SelectOneChoice
2.- Set "Disabled" property true or false depending if the SelectOneChoice is selected or not
(#...selectBooleanCheckbox.value?false:true})
3.- Set the Partial triggers to the SelectOneChoice in the three components.
CASE 1: The SelectOneChoice is unmarked. The three components appears disabled and when I mark the SelectOneChoice, this components appears enabled. The thing works ;)
CASE 2: The SelectOneChoice is marked. The three components appears enabled and when I unmark the SelectOneChoice, the components continue enabled. They don't disable until I press the submit button.
how can i make that the components appears disabled when i unmark the checkbox?
i try with de ChangeValueListener, but it only works where the SelectOneChoice changes from unmarked to marked.
thanks!

I think the problem is, when the value is null the checkbox return with the selected state, b'coz u r
returning the checkbox (as it is). so pl'z try with below code (ADDED).
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int column){
if(value != null){
Boolean booleanValue = (Boolean)value;
setSelected(booleanValue.booleanValue());
else /// ADDED
setSelected(false);/// ADDED
return this;
Nediaph.

I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

Problem with deactivating / deinstalling filevault

I have had filevault on my main user account. Due to problems with disappearing sidebar folders described elsewhere, I created a new admin account and moved all of my data to this account. I have not essentially emptied the old account, logged out to recover space and I now want to deactivate Filevault in the old account. But the process halts with an error message and in the console system log this string is found:
athrxproc: NO RX Packets for 5 contiguous interrupts first DS Vaddr 0x4f36c000 Paddr 0x8da5000
Any hints on what to do?

thrxproc: NO RX Packets for 5 contiguous interrupts first DS Vaddr ...
Turning off Appletalk fixed those entries in my system log (it was enabled unknowingly on airport and the built-in ethernet) and sped up the log in well...
I'm not sure on the constant dropping, but I've been experiencing that, and will report back if turning apple talk off improved that situation too.
thought I'd share as google brought me to this thread too..

Keyboard problem with Mac os 10.7 + FileVault to + login screen

I have a problem with the login screen, the keyboard is recognized as a English keyboard but I have a french keyboard. The menu to change keyboard language is not displayed on login screen since 10.7.2.
During the session the keyboard is French, it's only for the login screen.
How can I fix this and switch my keyboard layout to French in login screen ?
Thank you.

How did you find out the keyboard layout changed to English? I had a similar problem with my first login after enabling FileVault, and now I think this might be a cause? I have a Spanish keyboard.

Problem with users disabling ARD client service

I've got a problem and i'm not quite sure of the work around. I'm a PC guy by nature and can't quite figure this out.
I'm having a problem with users disabling the ARD service from the sharing menu. Unfortunately users need to have admin privleges to do their work so I can't simply give them a standard account.
I've hidden the ARD user account i created from the login window through Netinfo, but I need to find a way to stop users from shutting the ard service down.
They don't seem to understand that the company requires that it be on the computer. Now, I'm the one who is set as the admin for ARD in the building, however we really just use it to rollout drivers, install packages, and its a lifesaver for remotely fixing problems with programs. The company didn't really buy it to spy on the employee's.
Is there any way to hide the service from an admin level account? Or keep them from shutting it down?
BTW, this would have to be done on multiple machines running both panther and tiger.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm not quite sure where to start.

First, as a matter of policy, let them know this service is active, and needs to remain active. If they disobey this instruction and turn it off, you have a human resources issue, not a technical issue.
Second, there are very few enterprise users that need admin access to their machines. Oh, they ALL think they do, and there will be howling when non-admin status is first imposed, but we have 350 users in a publishing environment with less that 20 setup as admins. Those users are almost all superusers who assist others in a technical role.
We have far fewer software problems like this and with ARD, IT can install/ authorize installation of software remotely should a user need that. It simply does not dramatically impact our users to have non-admin access. On the other hand, we recognize that a FEW users will need more access, and grant that on a case-by-case basis.

Can you set up a new I Tunes account, but still use the same email address, as having problems with it keep telling me it has been disabled, no matter what I do to chnage the passwords, I haven't used the account since 2010?

Hi eddinchina,
You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
You may use the same email address with both accounts.
