"Recent Items" is really confused and inconsistent

Is there any way to get "Recent Items" to be the same in all applications? Basically, I have two sets of "Recent Items". The "Recent Items" in Safari and Mail are almost always wrong and do not get updated. I just now cleared by Recent Items from the Finder and from Safari. Then, I opened a document from the Finder. Next, I opened an attachment inside Mail. Now, I have to different sets of Recent Items menus, depending on what application is running.
Is this a known problem and, if so, is there a known way to fix it? Thanks.

None that I know about. Why would say TextEdit want to know where Safari last visited? It makes sense to me that recent items/folders/etc should only reflect what the current application can deal with. Since Finder deals exclusively with folders, why would you want it know anything about files? What exactly did you do to clear recent anything from Finder and Safari, since there's only a Go->Recent Folders in the Finder and only a History file in Safari?

Confusion and Inconsistency

Hey guys,
We currently have an adobe air application that we are using for digital signage, and plan to continue developing it further, we are using the AIR application updater framework but i'm totally confused now with 2.5 -> 2.6 -> 2.7 how to keep our network up to date aswell as continue to develop our app with ongoing versions of flash,
I downloaded the trial of cs5.5 to check it out, opened our CS5 application tried to test/publish and it now comes up with
[StatusUpdateErrorEvent (type=updateError text=unknown update version id=16815 + subErrorID=0)]
I've tried changing the updateConfig.xml and the online update.xml to all sorts of combinations 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 2.6 etc none of them fix the issue, and it's super hard to find information on the plan / how to keep it all working
Some background info:
We currently build a pc install the latest AIR runtime and then send the computer to an onsite location with our application preinstalled, and we currently keep it up to date using the AIR application update framework. We have 50 - 60 computers running the app globally and we need to be able to keep them updated remotely
My main questions are:
How can i continue to update our app if i develop using future versions of flash?
Can i update these apps to 2.6 etc without breaking them/causing errors?
Does the AIR Runtime version update itself eg in the background or is it stuck with whatever we preinstalled on the box?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hello Scott,
Thank you for reply and sorry being late to answer. I used to get notification about reply and this time I had to go search what is going on with my issue.
For the purpose of demonstration I uploaded application without some code and without some pages but login page is there:
login:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn
workspace: WS_BOILER_CERT
userid: [email protected]
password: nevenka
application: 61841 - BO_CERT_TEST_TRAN_SCOTT
On page 101 you can notice process: Set Username Cookie, that I do not know how it came to this page.
You can test login and logout with 2 additional users/passwords: 77777/change1 and 6666/broker2 and you can see that if you login and logout, on next login you have previous user set. If you by some chance have same password for both users then you are transparently logged as previous user not the one that enetered user id.?
I guess error that you may get are not important for this issue, so you can ignore them.
Thank you again and sorry being that late.

CC update is REALLY confusing and problem filled... need advice please

I have 2 macs. On one, I just clicked on the update all in the CC desktop notification...what a mistake that was! LR would not work at all and PS installed a new version and (I think) updated my old version. But the new version does not have all my plugins working with it - it asked me if I wanted to migrate something (presets or something) and I said yes, but that did not seem to work either.
My question are:
1- do I really want to update Photoshop CC AND Photoshop cc 2014???
2- is there no way to just update the existing version so all the plugins work without an hour or so of figuring out how to reinstall them???
The LR problem I finally solved by downloading 5.5 manually and manually installing over the bad CC desktop install.
whew... what a bungle from Adobe...they are so proud of their new glitzy Web site and new apps and can't even update existing ones with out disaster... I've turned off auto download forever !!!
thanks for the help and for letting me vent ... so much anxiety and wasted time...
cheers,
tom

The main cause of slow system is due to certain heavy applications running in the background
We agree on that.
or because of duplicate and hidden files.
Files visible, hidden, the same as other files, do not do anything, unless they happen to cause the disk to be completely or nearly full. Otherwise they are just 1's and 0's. They are passive (speaking as a paid file system developer).
These files can't be easily removed.
If they can't be removed, then they are essential to the proper operation of the operating system (such as /private/var/vm/swapfie(s)). And if you have huge swapfile(s), then it is an indication of running too many RAM hungry apps concurrently, or a Mac that could use more RAM.
So I think using speed up Mac software is the best solution.
Hang around these forums long enough and you will see that in many cases those speed up, clean up, anti-malware apps "ARE" the "certain heavy applications running in the background" to use your own words. It has been the experience of the long time forum contributors that once these 3rd party utilities are removed, most performance issues and system panics go away.

App to completely clear all History (Recent Items and Folders)

It easy to clear the Recent Items list in the Apple Menu and also the Recent Folders in the Finder.
What is a good Snow Leopard app that will do both and all the clean-up for you, totally erase history on all fronts?
Thanks.

sig wrote:
I don't see as you would need an app for that. Just go to Recent Items and select Clear Menu. For folders do the same, Go>Recent Folders>Clear Menu. How simple is that?
I prefer one that will completely vanish all footprints on all fronts in one stroke including Internet history, Open Recent items list in apps and every possible traces of recent activities using only one client.

Recent items not working

altought recent items is set to none
when I open pictures, texedit or word docs
at least 10 previous files open up at the same time
this is really confusing and annoying
safari 6 still *****
why does mountain lion have the same bugs as the first versions of lion ...

It's the Resume feature.
When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Press return.
You can also accomplish this through the GUI by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State/TextEdit and delete that file…
(note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
To turn off Resume globally...
chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Press return
The reverse of the first one is to replace false with true.
The reverse of the second one is
chflags nouchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Again, you can accomplish this through Finder by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting the folder.

One item used for insert and update

I'm still trying to learn APEX and need to understand how to use an item for both update and insert. Is the LOV part used for the insert and the SOURCE for the update? I have a WHERE clause I need to use for the insert but not the update. I have to display items when updating that would not show up in the insert b/c only active things should be in the insert whereas the update can contain retired values. Also one such item needs to display its value but hold on to it's ID. Also, I am displaying items from more than one table so I'm not sure if I can say it's a Database Column. AS you can see, I'm really confused and the doc doesn't usually explain these details and is not helping me. Can someone explain how to set up such items? Thank you!

I do actually have things working (I do have insert, update and delete processes) since I copied from another app, but there are some details that are not working well. For example, I have a linked field that pulls up a record (row fetch) and 2 of the fields do not pull up the values for that row (it's a select list and that's there but it doesn't highlight the correct value). For one of them, when inserting, the LOV (I think) should only show the active values but then, when the row is fetched, it needs to show a value from the table even if it's no longer active. I'm missing something and don't know what it is.

How to display 20 Recent Items on Nav bar

Hi, everyone.
I use CRM7.0. Recent Items displays 5 on Navigation bar. However, our customer requires to display 20 items on this field. Does anyone have tips about this?
BestRegards.
Miki.

Hi miki,
The user can personalize the amount of recent items he'd like to see. On the homepage, choose personalize, then click Personalize Navigation Bar. Select Recent Items in the dropdown and then set the number of rows. Currently you can select up to 10 entries. If you want to change this, you'll have to enhance component BSP_DLC_PERS. To set the amount from 10 to 20 you'll have to redefine method FILL_DLG_TABLE in view controller ZL_CRM_BSP__RECENTOBJECT0_IMPL (enhanced view controller from CL_CRM_BSP__RECENTOBJECT0_IMPL). Copy the original method. On line 60 of this method you'll find:
WHILE lv_index <= CL_CRM_BSP__RECENTOBJECT0_IMPL=>GC_MAX_ENTRIES_DDLB.
Change this in
WHILE lv_index <= 20.
Hope this helps!
Cheers, Roel

Turn off recent items - Is it possible?

Dear all,
As the subject line states, I want to know if it is possible to turn off recent items in the Finder and in apps. I know you can do it in Windoze, but couldn't find any preferences for it on a real computer.
Thank you in advance
SR

System Preferences/Appearance/Select "none" in the drop-down menu:
Do you refer to the Number of recent items: Apps, Docs, Servers? I have checked "None" for all 3 on several computers, and this has never turned off recent items in the Finder.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

My MBP really hot and really slow recently

Hi,
My MBP has become really hot and noticably slower recently (within the last 4-5 months). Before I could keep it on my lap for hours watching video using VLC and run a bunch of other applications (like Safari, Firefox, iTERM, Nisus Writer Pro, TextMate, etc.) without it getting unbearable.
Now, even when it's nearly idle (running just Safari, with Quicksilver in the background) the temperature is around 130 deg. Fahrenheit, give or take 10 degrees. And the usually silent fans continuously give out an evil hiss.
The only changes I made to the MBP within that time are:
1. Upgraded to 10.5.6
2. Added growl (which I turned off for now)
3. Purchased some software via MacHeist, which includes:
acorn,
appshelf
boinxTV
CroMag Ralley
Espresso
iSale
Kinemac
littlesnapper
picturesque
SousChef
Hitlist
Times
Wire Tap Studio
World of Goo, and
eventbox
4. Upgraded to Safari 4 beta
And that's about it. Safari seems very sluggish on the initial launch, giving me the spinning ball, and more often than not, it would freeze and I would have to force quit. But then again, the previous version crashed quite often too, but I seem to remember it to be pretty perky on launch.
The only things I run in the background and/or login items are:
1. Font Agent's font activator
2. Quicksilver
3. iTunes Helper
4. Stuffit's MagicMenu
5. MenuCalendarClock iCal version
6. Expandrive
7. Little Snitch
8. MacFuse
Also my wireless connection to the USB drive on my AEBS seem to have slowed a lot too. At one point, I was reading and writing to it at almost the same speed as if it were plugged directly into my MBP's USB port. Now, it's around regular ethernet speed (not fast ethernet, nor gigabit, just regular 11Mbps).
Anyone have any idea? I'm thinking of just reinstalling from the 10.5.2 DVD I have, but that means I have to backup everything and I know I'll lose something during the process, because I have a WD 320GB disk and have used it all up except for about 10GB. It's gonna take a good part of a day (or two) to do the complete reinstall.
Any help as to why my MBP's so sluggish and hot would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you need more free space on your HDD, for sure. But...
Let's back up a minute. I just re-read your original post - 130 °F is NOT hot. That's barely warm. Most of us are used to looking at temps in Celsius (at least, I am). 130 °F = ~55 °C. My CPU is at 49 °C right now, 5 minutes after waking the machine up from an overnight sleep in a cool downstairs office. Normal MBP idling temps are in the mid 50s °C (the 130s °F), so you are most definitely not having a temperature issue. Running a heavy CPU load will push the temps into the 70-80 °C range (160-175 °F); fans normally don't spin up past idle speed until the CPU/GPU temps are in the 70s °C (your idle speed is 2000 rpm).
So, if the fans are making an 'evil hiss' that's not due to temperature.
To conclude - your initial issues were 1) really hot, 2) noticeably slower and 3) an evil hiss from the fans. So, #1 is a non-issue, since your temps are quite normal. #2 is most likely due to lack of HDD free space (you've run out of room for virtual memory and swap files). That leaves #3 - just how evil is that hiss? What fan speeds does your monitoring software (iStat Pro, for example) report?
Have you run the Apple Hardware Test? (Insert Install DVD 1 and reboot with the d key pressed.) That will check out your fans, sensors, etc.

Getting "open recent" items and "open documents" from an application

How do I ask Textedit (if running) for the list of documents currently open?
How do I ask Textedit (if running ) for the list of "open recent" items?
Thank you

Thank you. This does the job for "opened documents" in TextEdit and other applications. I wish there were a similar method for "open recent" items. Each application (TextEdit, BBEdit etc) seems to handle the "open recent" items in its own way!
Thank you again.

I recently bought a new computer and had all my files moved to it. Now when I sync my iPad and iPod I get a message stating that some (41) of my items can not be copied to my PC because it is not authorized even though it is authorized on my account.

I recently got a new PC and had all of my files moved to it. However, when I sync my iPad and IPod nano I get a message that states that 41 of my items can not be copied to the PC because it is not authorized on my account even though it is. I have tried de-authorizing it and re-authorizing it but they still will not copy. Any thoughts on how I can get them to copy?

"Note: If you no longer have access to a computer that is using one of your authorizations, you can deauthorize all of the computers associated with your account by following the steps at the bottom of About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization".
Authorize the new computer. Launch iTunes. Go to the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

I have the original AIR recently it has really slowed down. Every function usually gets the pinwheel. It is up to date and has 10g of free disk space. Any suggestions as to the cause?

I recently deleted approximately 80gb of space on my hard drive by dragging items to the trash and then emptying the trash. However, the space does not show up on my HD as free. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
