Revert to non-custom setup?

I have a 10.5.1 OS X Server install, upgraded from a 10.4 install, and because of some previous customization, I can no longer use the simple configuration wizard.
Is there any way (other than a complete reinstall from scratch) of getting back to a state where I can use the easy configuration tools?

Possibly. Time Machine is guaranteed to work with a Time Capsule, an external hard disk connected to it, or a mounted internal or external volume on the source Mac. NAS devices are supported but there a lot of caveats.
From OS X Mountain Lion: Disks you can use with Time Machine
"If your backup disk is on a network, the network server must use Apple File Protocol (AFP) file sharing, and both your computer, and the networked backup disk, should have Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later. The AFP disk must also be “mounted” (available to your computer)."
Since only a Mac can run OS X, what the above means to me is that the NAS must essentially be a Mac.

  • Manually defining Home directory path- reverts to "none"

    Our OS-X 10.4.8 setup centralises home directories on our server, no users have homedirs on local Macs.
    In WGM, I select a student, then the "Home" tab. As we nest homedir locations into folders by graduating year, I need to set the path manually. Sometimes, this works. Other times, no matter what I type into the path fields, when I click "save", the homedir location reverts to "None". I can't see why! I'm properly authenticated to WGM, and in fact I'm running it as root on the actual server!
    I have had this bug consistently since 10.4 Server came out and NONE of the patches since then have fixed it, despite bringing it to Apple's attention several times.
    Not happy.

    I used passenger to create and import the accounts and agree that it is an essential tool, well worth the money.
    No, I was trying to tweak the homedir path for a dozen or so users I had made a small typo in, and this problem of the path reverting to "none" is very, very frustrating. The thing is: sometimes it works and sometimes I have to attempt editing the path three or four times before clicking "save" makes it stick. It's the lack of consistency of this bug that causes me the most grief (and make no mistake, it's a bug in Apple's software that they haven't fixed in over a year)

  • Can I create a custom setup test for Adobe Connect Pro?

    I was wondering if there was a way to create a custom setup test for Adobe Connect Pro?  We are using Adobe Connect to teach some web courses and we need them to complete the Adobe Connect test as well as some other software setup tests.  Due to the fact that we are using a company wide account for Adobe Connect the "Send Results" button on the setup test doesn't reach me (I am the one in charge of making sure all students have taken all the setup tests).  Typically we have them take a test and then return back to the main 'test' page where they select whether or not the test worked.
    In the end I figure I have two options:
    1. Change the test so that it emails the responses to the email of my choice, i.e. a custom version of the setup test. (Not sure if this is possible as we use a company account)
    2. Completely remove the "Send Results" button from setup test and just rely on the student manually entering whether the test worked or not.
    Please help!

    The timecode effect can only show whole frames so there is not a setting for 23.97. I'm not at my editor at the moment, is there an option for 'drop frame' in the timecode settings, this is how timecode is displayed for non whole number frame rates.

  • AR Customer Setup: Communication Type Email Creates Two Email Entries

    Hi,
    AR Customer Setup: Communication Type Email Creates Two Email Entries, one with type as Email and other as E-mail.
    In AR Receivables > customer > entry > (B) account details > (T) communication or >Contact roles. While creating new customer contact communication type emai entry, upon entering email address, type as email and saving it, oracle defaultly creates another entry with same address and type as E-mail. So every time i create on email contact email address, it creates another similar with E-mail type.
    My question: Why does two entries get created and how can we avoid it.
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
    Further, since this is a second hand device, you should read this and ensure that the prior owner fully conducted all steps in the Seller section...if not, then your carrier will never be able to register a BIS account to the BB.
    Good luck!

  • Reverts to non drop frame without a tape

    Whenever I try to just log timecodes into Final Cut without a tape, it reverts to non-drop frame timecode. How do I tell final cut to always revert to drop frame?

    Well I wasn't typing typing either, but when I do type a semicolon it reverts to a colon

  • Never remember history not working after upgrade to 4, it always reverts to use custom settings

    Hi, I use private browsing mode and when I try to adjust the settings to never remember history, whenever I look it always reverts to use custom settings. Sometimes when I close firefox and then reopen the old cookies are still there.

    The OP reported their line-in input "broke" after upgrading to Leopard, however my MBP stopped recognising input from the mic on my headset a few weeks ago when I was still running Tiger. This might possibly indicate that the change in OS X's handling of the line-in input was present in a Tiger update, but I can't remember the exact correlation between the dates of my last update and this problem. All the same, I'm pretty annoyed that a headset that worked perfectly for several months is now suddenly unusable without a USB adapter.
    Prior to stumbling across this thread, I visited two Apple stores, who both tested with an output from an iPod and told me that the input was working fine, leading me to buy a brand-new headset (even though I'd tested other working headsets without success) which, naturally, produced the same results.
    Seems to me that the hardware is fully capable of processing a mic input through the line-in port, as it's never had any problems with any unpowered source until recently, so Apple must surely be able to undo the change they made?

  • Unable to map non-custom fields in EBM

    Hi ,
    I have extended customer party EBO in AIA 2.4 and am using QueryCustomerPartyEBM and QueryCustomerPartyREsponseEBM in my project.
    I am sending response in QueryCustomerPartyREsponseEBM from provider to EBS to requester.
    When i map the response of invoke (that invokes ESB) in the requeter to the Response ABM and execute, all the customer fields from the EBM are getting mapped to ABM, but the non-customer fields are not getting mapped.
    When i put an assign activity after invoke and tried to retrieve these values from Response EBM, an error came up saying that the field is empty.
    But i am able to see the non-customer fields populated in response variable of invoke in requester.
    Please let me know, what might be the possible reason.

    Please refer to "XSLT Extensibility" section, Page 99, in Integration Developer Guide.

    But in 11i version, we were able to setup customers in both OM and AR without any issues and all selections were the same. So, could any expert clarify me about this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Customized setup for deployment of Firefox 4 : How to integrate addons & prefs (seems different than 3.6.x)

    I'd like to silently install Firefox 4 using customized prefs, but it's seems different than the 3.6.x versions.
    How does it work with the new "folder architecture" used in Firefox ?
    * For 3.6.x, using the -ms switch install Firefox silently, and i integrated addons & prefs by :
    - copying pref.js + localstore.rdf + mimeTypes.rdf + content-prefs.sqlite + bookmarks.html to "localized\defaults\profile".
    - extracting all *.xpi addons into the extensions install folder "nonlocalized\extensions".
    * For FF 4 the -ms still works, and i tried to copy my addons in "core\distribution\extensions\", but all of them do not install, and I don't see any "localized" or "profile" folder for the prefs..
    Thx a lot in advance !

    Hi guys, here are some informations that i found and combined. These preferences/customisations ARE TESTED and WORKING!!
    First of all, extract your "Firefox Setup 4.0.exe"
    '''Silent installation without desktop icon:'''
    Create a "nodesktop.ini" at the same place you can find the setup.exe (root directory after extraction) containing following text:
    [Install]
    DesktopShortcut=false
    '''Run''': Installationfolder\setup.exe -ms /INI="CompletePathToInstallationFolder\nodesktop.ini"
    '''Disable Import Wizard:'''
    Create: InstallationFolder\core\override.ini containing:
    [XRE]
    EnableProfileMigrator=false
    Many options have to be set in InstallationsFolder\core\defaults\profile\prefs.js These directories and the prefs.js File have to be created first. Then make following entries:
    '''Use wpad:'''
    user_pref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "YourWpad.dat");
    user_pref("network.proxy.type", 2);
    '''Set startup homepage:'''
    user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.YourPage.com/");
    '''Don't show browser rights:'''
    user_pref("browser.rights.3.shown", true);
    '''Don't ask if FF should be default browser:'''
    user_pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
    '''Dont't show FF welcome homepage at first run:'''
    user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "");

  • Regarding the Customer Setup for ISA B2B using SAP J2EE 6.4 and NWDS

    Hi
    Does someone knows how we can setup a customer project using
    SAP J2EE 6.4 and NWDS.
    I've tried to setup the project but facing a weird problem..
    I've ISAWAC640SP11 and ant buildtool to build the application.
    I didn't get any "sda_build.xml" in this patch (ISAWAC640SP11).
    i've used "sda_build.xml" of ISAWAC40SP11.
    I've build the application using build tool but when i try to deploy it
    on SAP J2EE 6.4 using SDM i get a weird message stating
    <b>"com.sap.sdm.util.sduread.IllFormattedSduFileException: The archive must be deployed with a 6.20 SDM, which has a SDM-SDA compatible version 1 or greater."</b>
    Does anyone knows from where can i get the sda_build.xml file compatible with
    ISAWAC640SP11 ??
    Also can some one suggest me to setup a customer project for extension and
    modification of ISA B2B 640 on NWDS and SAP J2EE 6.4....
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    I am Rajesh..and it seems that you and I are facing the same problem. Well, I am really finding it hard to find material like PDF's files on Build Tool. and ISA Development and Extension Guide. 
    I would really appreaitate if you could send me some material. Well, My project is very simple and I have been given the task to first submit a simple demo of B2C on R/3 system. ( Not CRM ). I have also installed the NWDS and everything including the ISA WAC Java components. I am having real hard time in modifying them....
    Can you please shed light on it...You can also email to me at [email protected]
    Thanks in Advance for your kind consideration.

  • Revert to non-optimized footage

    Hi,
    If I import AVCHD footage and create optimized footage (i.e. prores), is there any way to revert back to the non-optimized footage once done editing to save hard drive space? What would happen if I just delete all the prores files - will the project break or try to open the SD card backup?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can just select the clips, Control-click and use Transcode Media to create either optimized or proxy media.

  • Using IDE3 in non-RAID setup

    Hi
    I have a few questions regarding my setup which I hope some users who have or have had the same configuration can answer for me?  I know that this post may turn out to be a bit long but I really would appreciate some help and answers from users who have been down this road please.
    System:
    MSI 875P Neo FIS2R (no overclocking)
    Intel 2.40C Ghz P4 (800Mhz)
    BIOS 1.7
    Nvidia FX5200 AGP 8x
    LG CDRW on IDE1 (Master)
    LG DVD on IDE1 (Slave)
    IDE2 - Nothing installed
    Maxtor 20GB ATA133 on IDE3 (Master - Non-RAID)
    Maxtor 80GB ATA133 on IDE3 (Slave)
    With thanks to "mdc007", I have just setup my two Maxtor drives which were previously installed on IDE1, on IDE3 as master and slave, using the following method:
    Enabled Promise controller in BIOS, setup Promise IDE "as S-ATA", boot into XP, install S-ATA drivers from Device Manager and reboot.  Made sure drivers were installed.  Turned off computerm connected Maxtor hard drives to IDE3 and turn on computer.  enter BIOS and select Maxtor master drive as first boot device and then F10 to save and exit.
    Everything worked just fine but I noticed on the POST screen that I had 1st IDE master/slave (CDRW/DVD), 2nd IDE master/slave (not installed), 3rd IDE master/slave (not installed), 4th IDE master/slave.
    The drives on IDE3 are shown in Device Manager and I have a SCSI RAID Promise 378 S-ATA in Device Manager.  The drives also appear to be opering correctly in XP.
    Q:  As my hard drives are on IDE3, why are they not shown on the POST screen?
    (Note - both drives were shown on the next screen with UDMA6)
    Q:  Also in the mainboard BIOS, the drives are not shown connected to IDE3.  Why?  I tried choosing "AUTO" but that made no difference.
    Q:  With reference to the HDD LED, I was aware that the LED did not work with S-ATA drives on the Promise Controller at the moment but, although the HDD LED is on during POST, it shows no activity when booting into to XP or once on the desktop.  Is this correct?
    Q:  With reference to the Intel IAA and IAA RAID latest software versions, I tried installing these and got a message which said something like "no compatible devices - software not supported on this chipset".  Has anyone got this software to install or am I installing the incorrect version?
    Q:  I downloaded the correct version of IAA and I can't understand why it won't install so, which chipset is the message referring to?
    Q:  I have seen mention of the Intel 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controller, which my 875P has, and also the Intel 82801ER.  Which board has the 82801ER?
    Q:  With reference to the "On chip ATA(s) Operate Mode" in the BIOS, with my setup as shown above, I would appreciate advice from users who have this setup working ok, about which options are best to enable/disable in this area:
    * Mode:  Legacy or Native?
    * ATA Configuration:  Disabled/P-ATA only/S-ATA only/P-ATA + S-ATA/Both
    * S-ATA Keep  enabled: Yes/No
    * P-ATA Keep enabled:  Yes/No?
    * P-ATA Channel Selection:  Primary/Secondary/Both?
    * Combined Mode Option:  P-ATA 1st Channel/S-ATA st Channel?
      (this option depends on what other options you have choen above)
    * S-ATA Ports Definition:  PO-1st / P1-2nd - PO-2nd / P1-1st
                                          PO-3rd / P1-4th - PO-4th / P1-3rd
      (this option also depends on what other options you have chsoen above)
    Q:  With reference to PNP/PNP Configuration Option in the BIOS, with my new setup, should PCI IDE Bus Mastering be enabled?
    BTW, about an hour after running my drives from IDE, I attempted to install the new drivers for the WinXP Promise SATA378 IDE Controller (from v1.00.16 to v1.00.29) and after reboot, the pc just kept rebooting and i had to choose "last known good configuration" and then once in windows, I got my first 'blue screen' with a message something like "IRQ less or equal to" etc, etc.  Don't know if that relevant or not?
    Regards

    To answer a few of your questions,
    Reason you can't see the devices on the Promise controller in the Bios is because the Promise controller has its own separate Bios(that's the one you get into by hitting control-F. The only link the main Bios has to it is the 1 setting(disabled, SATA, Raid). Also, you'll see the Promise devices listed in the boot devices setting although with unusual prefixes like "BBS Device 0" or something like that.
    Note that the 1st-4th channels listed in the standard Cmos Features are for the Intel controller only(IE: 2IDE channels + 2SATA channels)
    I know that the HDD light DOES NOT work for ANY SATA devices. I haven't used my IDE3 yet but it sounds like it doesn't work for that either. As far as I know, there is no work-around for this. Unbelievable, isn't it?
    For your setup:
    Native Mode for WinXP
    Pata Only (you're not using the SATA's)
    Keep SATA enabled: Yes(only if you are overclocking and can't lock AGP/PCI frequency. Don't know why, but this has worked for many of us.)
    Pata enabled should be greyed out with above settings.
    Pata channels: Just primary if that's all you're using but "both" would work too.
    Combined Mode: greyed out
    SATA ports def: greyed out or leave default.
    Not 100% sure on your other questions but I think IAA is not required on this board and IAA-Raid version will only install if you have the controller configured for Raid in the Bios. I don't think you need either with your setup. I don't have either installed atm.
    I'm not sure of the difference between the 82801EB & ER but device manager lists all the 82801EB devices for me and everything seems fine.
    Hope that helps out a little.
    Didn't see Danny's post above when I wrote this but I pretty much agree with everything. I have Bus Mastering on but only because it sounded like a good thing   and everything seems fine with it on. (I think I read somewhere that it speed up data transfers when you're running in DOS-IE: Booting Ghost or Drive Image etc off the CD/Floppy). Never really tested though.  

  • Error in trying for customer setup changes in iStore

    Hi,
    We were trying to implement a new functionality in istore which is as below
    When the user configures a product and Shopping Cart is shown to them,then user presses Place Order button,iStore portal typically asks for the password for the user already logged in once again.If the password is correct it continues with Shipping address etc to place an order.
    According to our requirement,instead of asking for the password of user,a list of all the istore users should be displayed and the user should be able to choose one and give the login details for that user and proceed further with this modified user name and addresses and other details specific to this modified user name ,the order also should be generated on modified customer's name.
    We tried by modifying the cookies that are set for PartyId,PersonPartyId,AccountId and Account number.
    With this it is showing us the Shipping Address list of modified customer but on clicking "Continue checkout"
    it is giving the following error message :-
    {color:#0000ff}This site is not a valid site for given Ship to Customer Account/Customer Account.{color}
    Is there something we are missing to update.Please help
    Thank you.

    Just curious why can't you use Bill To and Ship To account relations rather than giving a list of all users. The idea feels clumsy to me. Sorry.

  • After selecting "Never remember history," and "OK," re-opening options reveals it has reverted to "Use custom settings for history."

    Problem occurs with all add-ons disabled, and in safe mode.

    Thank you cor-el for your reply. To clarify for any other followers of this post: I found that if I first selected "Remember history" (apparently synonymous with "Default settings") and "OK," then reopened the Options pane and selected "Never remember history," it would stay selected. This seems like a bug to me however, since there is already a selection for single-session Private Browsing in the "Tools" pull-down menu, and it is simply not intuitive that a setting once selected would revert to any other setting simply because you re-opened "Options." This will result in many users who are not paying close attention using settings which they do not intend to use regarding their privacy. This is the sort of thing I expect from Microsoft or Adobe, but not from Mozilla.
