Remove or Delete monitor display preferences as defined by the User -

The clarity and resolution of my display seems to have disappeared. It is currently set at 1440 x 900 which is usually fine except when I start-up, my screen loads what must initially be the default settings - which are perfect - then after a couple of seconds changes to a dark/grainy image.
When I log in to another user account, the image is fine which indicates that it is must be display preferences for the user which has changed (although I don't recall ever doing this). Does anyone know how to reset defaults or remove delete user defined profile?
Thank you.

DearJane
As Limnos points out my suggestion takes a rather blanket approach which may not suit you? However it's also fair to say that problems potentially caused due to damaged and/or corrupted .plists are not exclusive to a single .plist. Occasionally its a combination of 2, 3 or 4 or possibly more that causes the problem.
Hence my suggestion to create a folder on the desktop first. That way if the problem goes away you can introduce desired .plist files later on once you test everything else. It's also my experience that most mac users can benefit from having a major clearout. Couple this with clearing out the contents of /Users/Home/Library/Caches and overall performance can seem quite marked.
A lot does depend on how many 3rd-Party applications/utilities you've added. I have lots of added extras and it does not cause me any problems whenever I clear them all out.
The choice is yours.
HTH?

How do I display an informative message to the user on Oracle Forms?

I have been asked to create a database trigger to fire when a user tries to update a column with existing data in it. If the column however has no data in it then the user can update the column with a value.
I tried using the RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR technique but somehow no message shows up on the frond end of the form when a user tries to update a column with existing data in it. The rest of the trigger works fine. It does not allow a user to update a column with existing values in it, yet it allows user to update column with no values in it.
My problem is displaying a message that reads like this :''Column value must must be 100 "
Here is parts of my code.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trigger_name
IF :NEW.ATTRIBUTE2 IS NOT NULL AND :NEW.ATTRIBUTE2 <> NVL(:OLD.ATTRIBUTE2, :NEW.ATTRIBUTE2) THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20002, 'Column value must must be : ' || :OLD.ATTRIBUTE2);
END IF;
Now i have tried this the syntax below. It does bring up a message on the front end of the form but it is not the message i have in mind.
IF :NEW.ATTRIBUTE2 IS NOT NULL AND :NEW.ATTRIBUTE2 <> NVL(:OLD.ATTRIBUTE2, :NEW.ATTRIBUTE2) THEN
FND_MESSAGE.set_name('FND', 'Column value must
be '|| :OLD.ATTRIBUTE2);
FND_MESSAGE.set_token('MSG', 'r21_AP_INVOICES_TRIGGER()
exception: ' || SQLERRM);
FND_MESSAGE.RAISE_ERROR;
END IF;
Does anyone has any idea?
thx

Unfortunately I do not have access to the Form properties. I was only asked to write a trigger to prevent a user from updating a field with data in it, and displaying a message saying that the user cannot update such a column when the user tries to update such a column.
I know that changing the form properties might be an easier option, but unfortunately i have to everything with the help of a trigger

Error in sql server with a trigger (I want to display a customize message, when the user left a blank field or null) How can I do?

How I display a customize message(with a trigger)when a user left a blank field? I want to the stop the insert statament if the user left the status field in blank. I create a trigger but now I can't enter a row, i used an instead trigger
too but doesn't work. I want to display a customize message when the user left the
status field in blank or null.
I have the following code:
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[BLANKFIELD]
ON [dbo].[Status]
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM inserted WHERE Status IS NULL) =1
PRINT 'Please Fill the Status field is required'
Rollback;
END

I agree with other comments that you should do this with specifying that the column is NOT NULL to prevent it from being NULL and a constraint if you don't want it to be blank (spaces or the empty string - note that the empty string is not the same thing
as NULL).
But for completeness, the reason your trigger does not ever allow you to enter a row is the code
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM inserted WHERE Status IS NULL) =1
PRINT 'Please Fill the Status field is required'
Rollback;
Since you don't have a begin/end block after IF, the only conditionally executed statement is the one immediately following the IF (that is the PRINT). So the Rollback is always executed whether or not the IF is true and so all updates are rejected.
So if you were to do this in a trigger you could do something like the following
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[BLANKFIELD]
ON [dbo].[Status]
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM inserted WHERE Status IS NULL)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Please Fill the Status field is required';
Rollback;
END
END
(As José noted, there can be more than one row in the inserted pseudo table, so you don't want to test whether the COUNT = 1, instead just whether one or more rows exist where the Status is null. If you want to prevent Status is NULL, or all
spaces, or the empty string, then your IF statement would be
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM inserted WHERE ISNULL(Status, '') = '')

UWL displaying workflow NOT defined in the XML

Can someone tell me why/how some workflows are displaying in UWL even though the workflows are not defined in the XML file?

Hi Daniel,
This is the case for many "legacy" workflows launching SAP(Web)GUI transactions or BSPs.
It works like this: if the UWL cannot find a corresponding task type for an arriving work item from Business Workflow in its XML configuration, it assigns the task type "uwl.webflow.default". In the standard uwl xml file you can see that tasks of this type are launched using the SAPTransactionLauncher (not specifying the TransactionCode parameter).
As you can see in the documentation (https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/SPS09/uw/com/sap/netweaver/bc/uwl/config/doc-files/ActionHandlers.html), if the TransactionCode is empty, the action handler defaults to the Business Workflow transaction "SWK1". This transaction (the UWL is now out of the picture) just redirects to the target transactions defined in the workflow itself.
Any matching entry in the UWL XML configuration will however override this default behavior.
Good question though. Hope this clarifies it to some extend...
Best,
Matthias

Need to display last login details to the user after they login into portal

Hi All,
As per our requirement ,we need to display to the user,the following things:
1.Last login date and time will be maintained and displayed to the user after login.
2.Last unsuccessful login date and time will be maintained and displayed to the user after login.
3.No. of unsuccessful retrials before locking the user will be maintained and displayed to the user after login.
Therefore we are creating a webdynpro application wherein we are making use of the UME API and trying to retireve these information.
The methods i am using are:
IUserAccount.getLastFailedLogonDate() // To fetch the Last unsuccessful login date and time
IUserAccount.getFailedLogonAttempts() // No. of unsuccessful retrials
IUserAccount.getLastSuccessfulLogonDate() // Last login date and time
But the problem is IUserAccount.getLastSuccessfulLogonDate() is deprecated and i unable to use it,and also i am unable to get the value *IUserAccount.getFailedLogonAttempts() * I am only geting zero.Can anybody let me know alternative method to get this details.
Request you to guide me and help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Nishita Salver

Hi,
I hope you are trying to show your login date from SharePoint List.
My suggestion is
1. by using ECMA Script ,retrieve values from that list and show the same in Master Page.
2. If you are not comfortable with ECMA, develop Visual Webpart and add the Visual Webpart in master page by using SharePoint Designer.
Please let me know ,if you need further guidance.

I bought a mac book pro 15" with retina display and could not find the user's guide/manual anywhere, except for the wuick start manual. I couldn't even find it in apple's web site. Where is it?

I bought a mac book pro 15" with retina display yesterday and could not find the user's guide/manual anywhere. I couldn't even find it in apple's web site. Where is it?

here it is : http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro-13-inch-late-2012-quick_start.pd f
Apples dont come with say, a big manual like old things used to. Basically its a just a quick reference guide, everything on specifics is online
Heres a great book everyone raves about, as far as the OSX and being familiar with it> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1449330274/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p14_d1_i1?pf_rd_m=AT VPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0J2E0HXQBHJK423PADBV&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=13 89517282&pf_rd_i=507846

Safari 7.0.5 problem-- I can't erase saved passwords-- I delete it in Preferences, it keeps entering the old password. I just got locked out of a bank account-- AGAIN!

I changed my password for an important account.
I deleted the old password under preferences on Safari.
I entered the new password and it asked to save it.
Next time I went to the account----it entered the old password--- and after three tries, I was locked out of the account.
I re-did the whole process--- it happened again!
Help!

Passwords saved by Safari are actually stored in Keychain Access.
Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Type in the name of the website you are trying to change the password for top right corner of the Keychain Access window.
That website keychain should be there.
Then right or control click that keychain then click Delete.
Then back to Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then select the Passwords tab then delete the the website. Make sure: AutoFill user names and passwords is selected.
Now go to the bank account website and try changing your password.

In graph at the a particular value (threshold value) in Y-axis horizontal line have to display like a alert for the user. How to achieve this? (In WebI)

How to achieve this in WebI?

Just create a measure for it. Here's an example in E-Fashion:
This is Sales Revenue for 2006; all I've done is added a new measure called "Target", which is just:
=900000
The chart is a combined chart. The Z Axis scale wasn't the same as the Y so I manually changed it to hard coded minimum and maximum values - you get the idea.

Display Preferences Doesn't Remeber to Mirror External Monitor

I have a Dell 2405 Connected DVI-->Display Port Adapter to my MBP.
Any time I reconnect the monitor I have to enter display preferences and re check the Mirror Display option, as it always defaults to Left/Right orientation.
I did not have this problem under Leopard on a Santa Rosa MBP with the same monitor, directly in via DVI.
Looking forward to your expertise,

Take a screen shot & use the tiny Camera icon in a Reply to upload it, if we see the same thing it's a Video card/VRAM, or OS problem, if we do not see the same thing then it's the Monitor or cable.

Displays preference pane not working?

I am on a new MacPro 2.66 Dual running 10.4.8 with a brand spankin' new
20" NEC MultiSync LCD 2070NX display. I am trying to calibrate my monitor so I can get back to one of my daily duties - color correction. I have the NEC display software installed which is very limited. I can adjust brightness, contrast, or use an already predetermined color profile. Not acceptable in my
professional opinion so I would love to use Apples display preferences to fine-tune my own profile.
When I click on the displays pane I get the following message - "You cannot open Displays preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version."
I find this ironic because I am on the newest OS, I tried NEC support and they told me it's an Apple issue. I know I should have purchased an Apple LCD but at the deal I got on the NEC I couldn't pass it up. The reviews in MacWorld for the NEC were great as well as Amazon. Been through the forumns and googled what I could but to no avail my displays pane is still inoperable.
Ideas anyone?

You can try reinstalling the Displays preference pane. Download the shareware utility Pacifist and use it to extract a fresh copy from the file archives on the Tiger DVD. The archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder.
I would also suggest the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Source monitor displays a different size to Program monitor in CC2014

I have imported a clip and the source monitor displays a different size in the program monitor?
Thanks Chris

It looks like your sequence is set up for the wrong size. Select a video file and right click 'New Sequence from Clip' see if that helps. I see that your video material is HD did you set up the sequence to match the earlier stills? that might be bigger than HD? If that is the case make a sequence the size for the video and use 'scale to frame size' for the stills.

With OS 10.7.4 I only get 2 display preferences, how so I correct?

After updating my IMac (late 2006) to OS 10,7.4 with graphics ( NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT) my display preferences revert to only two choices, Very large and very small. How can I correct this without reverting back to 10.7.3?

Thanks BDAqua
The two different display preferences show up under the "Detect Displays" icon. All the intermediate size preferences are absent.
