By the way do you know what could have caused that thanks
no, I don't. in fact, I'm still confused by this. the permissions on the Applications folder are recorded in the permissions database and running repair permissions should have fixed this. the fact that it didn't means that you might have a problem with your permissions database. could you run "repair permissions" again? see what if anything happens to permissions on Applications.

Remove a link from a folder

Hello
I am trying to remove a link from a folder. I am using the COLLECTION_DELETE_ITEM service with the following parameters:
contenedorDatos.putLocal (IdcService "," COLLECTION_DELETE_ITEM");
contenedorDatos.putLocal (dCollectionID "Folder_ID")
contenedorDatos.putLocal (hasCollectionID ", "true");
contenedorDatos.putLocal (dDocName, "Doc_ID")
The problem is that it removes the link and the original document, I want to delete only the link. How I can remove the link?
Regards

Better yet!
</a></font><Font color=white>(Your Portlet Header here)
The above one would work with IE as well as Netscape.
If you just give </a> , in netscape you won't be able to see the header properly
cheers,

How do you remove a playlist from a folder?

Is there a way you can remove a playlist from a folder in iTunes? how do you do so? The playlists I want to remove are regular blue playlists, they're not the "smart" playlists. Please help
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi, Carina, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
Grab the playlist you want to remove from the folder and push it all the way to the left. It should then move from the folder back to the list of playlists. Works for me.

How do I permanently remove "Authentication Required" window that continues to pop up?

I am running Firefox 15.0.1 on Mac OS 10.6.8. A window continues to pop up that reads, "Authentication Required" and "Enter username and password for ftp://ftp.radiogarage.com". This happens every time Firefox is opened and continues to pop up approximately every 30-60 seconds until I close Firefox. How do I permanently remove/delete/get rid of this pop up window? I have clicked on Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox but that has not solved the issue. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Delete locked file from /Applications folder

Hi there
I used Clean My Mac to remove a file install - something I have done many times without any problems.
This time though the application file was left behind in the /Applications folder and I am unable to move it to the Trash because it is locked.
I have tried the following
sudo chflags nouchg /Applications/CrashPlan.app
This however does not resolve the issue and I am still unable to move the file to Trash - it does not remove the locked flag
Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions how to remove the file?

Hi WIlliam
I tried what you said but I get an unexpected result...
Johns-Mac-Pro:~ John$ sudo rm -r /Applications/CrashPlan.app
Password:
rm: /Applications/CrashPlan.app/Contents: Operation not permitted
override rwxrwxr-x root/admin schg for /Applications/CrashPlan.app?
I'm not sure how to respond to the question it is asking. I tried keying in Y but the response was
override rwxrwxr-x root/admin schg for /Applications/CrashPlan.app? y
rm: /Applications/CrashPlan.app: Operation not permitted

How can I clean out the recently bookmarked entries without removing the bookmarks from the folder in the library?

When I click the star to bookmark a site it goes into the recently bookmarked area of the library. I then drag or cut or copy and past it into a folder I already have in the bookmark library, but it doesn't disappear from the recently bookmarked. If I delete it from the recent, it also gets deleted from the folder in the library.
What can I do to keep it in the folder but remove it from recently bookmarked?

No, currently there is not a way to do this.

Missing Scroll Bar from Applications Folder in Dock

When I click the Applications Folder from the Dock in the Grid format, the scrollbar is missing. The only way to "scroll down," to other apps is by pressing the up/down arrow keys, in which the vertical bar briefly pops up but then disappears (no arrows pop up). I can view the Applications Folder as normal in Finder, but I prefer to just be able to click and scroll from the Dock.
I've tried switching from Fan to List to Grid to Automatic, etc. Whenever I return to Grid, there's still no scrollbar.
No scroll bar visible...
Vertical scroll bar shows up when I use the Up/Down arrows on keyboard, but then disappears again; no arrows visible.

From your system preferences under general, you can select if you want scrollbar to only show when actively scrolling, always, or based on mouse or trackpad.

Normally, when the installer is downloaded, it opens automatically but then waits for some input from you. That's when you can quit the application and copy it. Since what you describe sounds like the actual installation completes very quickly, something else is happening because the installation can take quite a while, followed by a reboot.
However, it's been my experience that if there is a version of the installer saved somewhere else on your boot drive, that version will be replaced by what you've downloaded, and since it's not likely you saved it exposed in the Applications folder, the app looks like it disappeared when it's actually gone to another directory. What I do is search on the app name, "Install OS X Mavericks" (I use EasyFind, which is very fast), and when more than one shows up in the list, I look for today's date.

Removing submit requirement from text validation field

I am creating a form and I am using a validate text field. If
a customer wants to participate in future surveys, they will enter
their email address in the validate text field, but if they choose
not too, they can leave the field blank. What I want is to make
sure that the email is validated, so I checked the onblur option so
it checks it when I leave the field. The problem is when I click
the submit button, it still checks the field and requires me to
enter an email address still.
Is there a way to alter the SpryValidationTextField.js file
so that it will check the email address on onBlur or onChange and
not when I click the submit button??

Hi Nance
This reply would not be a perfect answer but might explain the logic behind it.
Here it is:
If you are retrieving HTML text from database you can create a function to remove html code from the text matter.
You simply need to look for the start <HTML> tag as a word and then for the end </HTML> tag as a word. Note down the start charater position for <html> and end character position for </HTML> and then simplye remove the content from the text by concatinating the data before the <html> tag and after the </html> tag.
or if you want to remove only the tag part as <html> and </html> from text and save the contents inside these tags, that would also be possible with the logic stated earlier in this post.
I would try to create such function and will post it here if succeeded.

IDVD vanished from applications folder unable to locate in sytem.

IDVD has completely disappeared from all applications, no where to be found. I was making an Imovie and sending it to IDVD to burn as it was complete. I have a strange icon that seems to have appeared it's called DigiHubDics.prefpane, not sure what this icon is and what it means. It's seems to have poped up when IDVD vanished. Unable to send movie IDVD as it apparently is not there where can it be?

Hi retirement65
And welcome to apple discussions. Unless you intentionally deleted the iDvd app with something like AppDelete; then it's likely still located on your HD. I'm assuming you already searched your applications folder but can't find it. Is this correct?
Are you the sole user of your mac? or do others use or have access to it? if it's the latter, then is it possible someone may have moved this app to another location or folder? (you might want to check the trash).
Or .... It's possible you (or another user) may have inadvertently chosen to have an alternate app burn your dvd's and hence it may be overtaking your iDvd app. If this is the cause, open up System pref's > accounts > login items
Hope the above helps but if not just come on back.

Removed some files from library folder

moved files from library folder and attempted to put them back after experiencing major changes and problem. This is not correcting the situation what can be done to restore it back to what it was before I started?

Hi Ali,
Update, I did a verify permissions with disk utility and some stuff is where it should be now, (recovered iphoto yeah) but still a problem with other things as before.
So to answer your questions,
What is the exact path to this folder? And please post the contents of the folder.
I get to her old itunes by the following path;
home>music>itunes>itunes music - this folder contains folder icons of all her old itunes library, each artist has a folder, such as amy cook>list of albums>list of songs - if selected will than open itunes and will import to new itunes library.
I don't quite understand the heirarchy you are describing. Please post the contents of her Home folder.
Her home folder contains
Desktop
Documents
Library
Movies
Music
Pictures
plus 9 folders she had created over the past four years these are intact and accessible to proper application programs (ie documents open in appleworks, pictures are from the pictures library not iphoto, 3rd party software such as genealogy programs are intact and up to date)
"I find some old unchanged items such as itunes, imovie, email mailbox items, in a folder that she created before the change took place in her user
account."
What is the exact path to this folder?
As for this folder some things were moved back to proper places with the above mentioned verify permissions, some like, mailbox items, I was able to import to current settings to restore to how it use to be. From what I gather she created this file when things were going wrong and she feared messing the whole thing up. I access this by the following path;
home>library>(then the folder she created) Library do not touch.
When I compare the main library file to my account main library file they do not contain the same items in fact many of the missing items seem to be in this folder that she created. I assume the ones I need are in this file she created but I am really hesitant to just start moving things around out of fear of creating more problems on her side or messing up my side.
If you have sufficient available disk space, you shouldn't have any problem, but you need a reliable backup, just in case.
In regards to archive/install - sufficient available disk space meaning as much or more than what I am currently using? How do I check this to be sure?
Which brings me to a whole new question if you have time?
We do have an external back up system, which we used before a semi-recent move, (I plan on finding the box it is packed in believe me), however we attempted to use imacs backup program to do a quicker backup, were able to back up her side onto disks, but when I attempted to do the same on my side I received an failure error screen something about a drained buffer and being unable to perform a backup. Please tell me I have not fried my dvd drive!!!
Thanks again, hope I answered in a way that is helpful to you.

How to remove farm account from Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application

Hello Community
    Using Sharpoint 2010 Server I think the reason
the User Profile Synchronization would stop is because somehow the farm
account was registered as a managed account. So I removed the farm
account from all services that ran under the farm account so that I could
run Remove-SPManagedAccount or click the Remove icon in manage service accounts
and then unregisted farm account as a managed account.
   But before I can run Remove-SPManagedAccount I need to remove it from one more
service account that uses the farm account which is:
    "Application Discovery and Load Balanceer Service Account".
    However, nothing seems to remove it from there.
    I tried :
"get-spserviceapplication | where {$_.TypeName -match "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application"}
    and then
"stop-spserviceinstance "dde7fbef-b068-4687-bedb-f67230efab5a"
    amongst a host of other methods so that I could ultimately
unregister farm account as a managed account.
    But no matter what I do when I try to remove the farm account from Application Discovery
and Load Balancer Service Application
and then unregister the farm account as a managed account a message always says
"Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application" is using the farm account
as its service account.
    What can I do to free the farm account from Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

The Farm Account is always a Managed Account and can never be "unmanaged". You don't have to set the automatic password roll.

I'm on ff 3.5.5 for Mac. I've been prompted twice to download latest version. Each time I have dragged the ff icon from applications folder to the dock and all seems ok. But next time I start ff it says I'm on 3.5.5 and should update to latest version!

There was no "update failed" message
I wonder whether I'm doing the right thing when I drag to the dock. There's only one ff icon in the applications folder. The first time I was prompted to update it showed that days date next to the icon as if the update was successful. The second time was a few days later but I think it was still the same date next to the icon (25/8/10) I've only just noticed that (on 10/9/10) so can't be sure but I'm sure the second time was around 2nd or 3rd of Sept.
Also, I am running two versions of ff- one is english, the other is the Italian version. They can't be opened at the same time but they seem to talk to eachother in the background, so to speak, because when I open one after a long gap, it opens with all the history and settings of the other one, right up to the last website I went to. I think I closed both when updating because it prompts you to close all programmes and restart (I think/ remember) so I just clicked ok to that prompt.
By the way, I got the prompt to update twice for ''BOTH'' the Italian and the English version- so 4 times altogether so it would seem that ff does recognise them as separate but still has problems concluding the update for each separate one respectively.
Thank you very much if you can help.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

CD Burn Application has vanished from Applications Folder? Cannot burn a CD!

My CD Burn Application is no longer appearing in my applications folder. I would like to burn a CD but cannot since I cannot locate the burn application and when I insert a blank CD it is not recognized by the computer.

Go to File in the menu bar and select New Burn folder.
This will appear on your desk top.
Drag and drop the files you wish to burn to that folder.
Go to File menu and select Burn ... to Disk.
(You can change the name of the disk just before the burn starts.)
Follow the directions.
Trash the burn folder after the burn is done - the contents are aliases.
