Safari Automatically Launched an Installer - Possible Bug?

Hello, today I was searching for some midi files on google. I clicked on a search result and up popped an installer window that wanted to install a program called ****4Mac. I immediately quite the installer. Is this a possible problem with Safari? I wouldn't think that it should allow these to open automatically. At least in order for it to install you would have to go through the installer. I have included the link to the page so you can see what I am talking about.

Hi wnichol
that's all too common I'm afraid...there's actually nothing to fear unless you actually run the installer it downloads, which will ask for an admin password & go on to modify your mac's settings so that when you try to reach a website, you could be redirected anywhere that the bad guys choose. If they were clever for example, they might only redirect financial websites... and you'd be taken to a convincing looking fake of your bank, which'd try to get passwords/login names etc etc - more commonly though, you'd simply get frequent ** sites .
there's a good basic explanation here at macworld & great detail on how it works here.
there's a free removal tool at http://www.dnschanger.com/ which has been widely used by people on these & other forums.
there's a lot of detail at http://tacit.livejournal.com/240750.html on the wider picture that this is part of.

A question about Oracle installer and a possible bug in JVM

Hello,
I appreciate if you could kindly guide me to solve the following problem.
I'm trying to install Oracle11g Enterprise on a Linux system (Redhat Enterprise 5.3).
There is no X system, and therefore I chose to install by using a response file
in silent mode. I set the parameters value as indicated in Oracle installation
guide. Yet, when I launch the installer, it seems that there is a problem with
java:
[oracle@ccsaplinux0002 database]$ ./runInstaller -responseFile /usr/local/oracle/database/responseFileV01.rsp -silent

[oracle@ccsaplinux0002 database]$I looked in the oracle package that I downloaded, there was no jdk or jre direcotry.
As a result I downloaded the JDK 1.6.0_15 available on Sun microsystem web site and then
I set manually in oracle user ~/.bash_profile the value for $JAVA_HOME.
Why I get this error?
Thanks in advance,
Dariush

Possible Bug In Apex 4.0.2

Hi Everyone.
I would like to report what I think is a bug in Apex 4.0.2.
If you go to my workspace on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace = EEG
Username = [email protected]
Password = galaxy (all lowercase)
Run the application: 37796 - Elie_Various_Goodies [no credentials are required]
This app was imported from my 4.0.1 workspace at my job. On the page I created two Date Picker items, P1_BEGIN_DATE and P1_END_DATE. I set them up so that whenever a user selects a begin date, a dynamic action "MANAGE_DATES" fires and automatically sets P1_END_DATE to this selected begin date value. Now when a user goes to select an end date, the displayed calendar starts at the previously selected begin date rather than the default of "Today".
All of this worked fine on my office (4.0.1) workspace. However, after exporting this app and then importing onto apex.oracle.com, none of this functionality would work. Even worse, whenever I try to select a begin date or even an end date, the selected dates never make it into the date picker fields. Displaying the "Session" window shows these fields as empty.
It was only after I copied the two date picker fields and also re-created my dynamic action (P1_BEGIN_DATE2, P1_END_DATE2, MANAGE_DATES) did my functionality return.
This behavior is quite strange. I can only think this is some sort of bug attributed to the export/import process when exporting a 4.0.1 app into a 4.0.2 workspace. I am not sure if this bizarre behavior happens with non-date picker items. Nor am I sure if this beavior would be repeated if I export/import from 4.0.2 into the another 4.0.2 environment.
Another strange thing I noticed. If I change my date picker items to be "date picker (classic)" type items, the dynamic action does not work at all. This is true in both 4.0.2 and 4.0.1. I'm not sure if this a bug or not. It could be that the classic date picker is just not "javascript" enabled so to speak. If that is true, then it would have been nice if the docs would have warned us about this.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Thank you.
Elie

Hi Joel.
First let me thank you for the warning about allowing "everyone" access to my workspace.
You're correct, of course. Anyone could destroy anything within my workspace. I guess I was too trusting especially as I have seen many posts on the Forum where others have given access to their workspace so that responders can offer help. I really should be more discreet about this. Again, thank you. Needless to say, I have changed my password.
With respect to the possible bug, the MANAGE_DATES dynamic action is intended to be a submit page because that is the only way I can see to get BOTH the P1_END_DATE date picker item as well as the end date textual field to be assigned the selected P1_BEGIN_DATE. I tried to use a dynamic action in which javascript sets the value of the end date textual field to the selected P1_BEGIN_DATE value. This works without the need to submit the page. Unfortunately, this does not cause the P1_END_DATE date picker item to default to this value. Instead, the default remains at today's date. This is why I finally resorted to a dynamic action that submits the page whenever a new value is selected (that is, a "change" event) from the P1_BEGIN_DATE date picker item.
All of this works in my office 4.0.1 environment. However, I was puzzled when this fails under 4.0.2 on the hosted web site at apex.oracle.com. This is why I posted a "possible" bug in 4.0.2.
I hope this all makes sense.
One more thing, as already mentioned in my original post, this "defaulting a date picker" functionality does NOT work at all for the "classic" date picker items in both 4.0.1 nor in 4.0.2. I realize one can implement this functionality (I' guessing) my using, say, a "onChange" javascript call to submit the page. It's just funny that the "classic" date picker items are not acted upon by the dynamic action MANAGE_DATES that submits the page.
Thank you.

When I try and download photos from my camera, the system automatically launches Photo Viewer in Win 8.1. This causes my Adobe Bridge to lock up.

I recently bought a new computer with Win 8.1 installed. When I installed CS6 64 bit, the installation went seamlessly. My problem is that when I try and download images from my camera, it automatically launches the Windows Photo software to download the photos. I would like to use the Bridge to do this for several reasons. If I turn off the Windows Photo program, it takes me back to Bridge but when I click on Download Photos, it causes Bridge to lock up.
If I click on download photos before I turn on my camera, it does not find the camera (as expected) but then I turn on the camera and reset list and Bridge finds the camera and I can download the photos. Then if I try and download additional photos, Bridge locks up and I need to turn off the software and reboot the computer in order to get anything to download.
I have gone to the System Settings and changed the AutoPlay settings to automatically select Bridge when I download Pictures...I also selected Bridge for the Memory Card. Under Devices, my camera is listed and that is set to "Import Photos and Videos"
Any suggestions?

Safari automatically downloads "Unknown" file

In the last few days I have found that Safari automatically downloads files called "Unknown". It sometimes happens when I am using another application so it doesn't seem related to something that I have just done. Also I find that Safari is DEAD slow with some pages or part of the content of some pages.
Here's what I have tried so far. I have deleted all the plist files in both the user account and the library folder in the system folder. I have zapped the PRAM, rebuilt permissions and restarted in safe mode. I have Resert Safari and Emptied the Cache under the Safari menu. I have also updated my antivirus and run it. Nothing has helped.
The sites that load slowly do not behave the same way in Firefox, but I would like to use Safari for most of these most of the time. Any suggestions of a cure would be most welcome.

Link Won't Automatically Launch Email Client

We use an intranet application database for CRM (ColdFusion) via Safari (5.0.3). Our accounts include email addresses which, when selected, previously opened a New Message in the email client of user's choice (whether Mail or Entourage, etc.)
Some employees using iPads and iPhones were noting that Mail was not automatically launching when they selected an email address (appears as a hyperlink in the database). I began to investigate, and the links are not working (automatically launching a New Mail Message in the email client) on one of our MacMinis (10.4.11) either. The links to a New Messsage are working on some of our Macs (some 10.4.11, some 10.6.6), but not all.
In my playing around with settings, somehow I have made the links not work on my MacBook Pro (10.6.6)!
Here is the copied link (with inserts for security):
https://www.[site].com/secure/customer/log_email.cfm?id=481&mailto=[name]@[domain].org
Again, this WAS working fine in Safari on my MacBook Pro, but it is not now. I should point out that the email links ARE working in Chrome BUT NOT FireFox or Safari.
I have changed my default email client in Mail, back and forth, to see if this would make a difference, but it has not.
The CRM provider has said they haven't changed anything on their end (and again, it is working for many of our Macs).
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Hi,
On the iPads and iPhones. Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset All Settings. Then restart the devices.
On the Mac for Safari. Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. See if made a difference. If not, try emptying the Safari cache from the Safari menu, Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E.
Since you have changed the default Mail client several times, you may need to delete the com.apple.mail.plist file also from the user account: ~/Library/Preferences
Make sure to make note of all your Mail preferences first before delete that.plist file.

Possible bug: Saving array with extended and double precision to spreadsheet

If one concatenates a double precision array and an extended precision array with the "build array" vi and then saves using "Write to Spreadsheet File" vi any digits to the right of the decimal place are set to zero in the saved file. This happens regardless of the format signifier input (e.g. %.10f) to the "Write to Spreadsheet File" vi.
I am on Vista Ultimate 32 bit and labview 9.0
This is a possible bug that is easily circumvented by converting to one type before combining arrar to a spreadsheet. Nonetheless, it is a bug and it cost me some time.
Solved!

Spreadsheet save bug.vi ‏9 KB

Hi JL,
no, it's not a bug - it's a feature
Well, if you would look more closely you would recognize the "Save to Spreadsheet" as polymorphic VI. As this polymorphic VI doesn't support EXT numbers internally (it only supports DBL, I64 and String) LabVIEW chooses the instance with most accuracy: I64 (I64 has 64 bits precision, DBL only 53...). So your options are:
- set the instance to use as DBL (by right-click and "Select type...")
- make a copy of this VI, save it with a different name and make it support EXT numbers (don't rework the polymorphic VI as you would break compatibility with other LV installations or future revisions)
And yes, those coercion dots always signal some conversions - you should atleast check what's going on there...

How can I make safari automatically open a word/pdf doc after it has been downloaded?

If I want to open a pdf or word file in safari, the program just downloads the file to the map downloaded files. I must then manually find the file and click on it to open. In firefox this happens automatically. Is it possible to make safari do this?
Best Per

Safari can view a PDF file without downloading it to the computer.
Word files can not be opened automatically after download.
Check Safari preference / General tab and look at the bottom of the window.

How to stop iTunes web preview from automatically launching iTunes?

Any time you go to an iTunes web preview page (which a lot of app sites/reviews link to), it automatically launches iTunes, completely defeating the purpose of having a web preview page in the first place. How can I make it stop doing this? I've looked in both Safari & iTunes prefs; if it's there, I didn't see it.

It's very annoying, and I wish there was a solution too. If I click on a link to for something to iTunes, I now have a new web browser window opened that is showing the exact same thing that opened in iTunes. How pointless is that? Its to the point that I am looking for alternatives to iTunes for managing my media.

Hi Chris! Thanks for replying...

How to disable automatic launch of WIE in startup configuration with no options to do so?

Thinkpad T400 2764CTO running Windows 7 Home Premium 64
PC only 2 weeks old, very little on it, but getting slower and slower. Finally found the configuration for the startup menu and disabled several things I knew I didn't want at startup. One problem that I can't seem to figure out, is how to disable Windows Internet Explorer from being launched at startup? I have tried disabling every Microsoft option, and it still launches. Is there a specific Lenovo option [that does not obviously have anything to to with WIE] in the startup menu that, if disabled, will stop the WIE browser from being launched? How do I know which options are not safe to disable when attempting to slim down startup configuration for faster/more reliable performance?
Thanks,
Ann

Either I *completely* misread your instructions; that fix is major overkill for what I was trying to do; that fix does not apply to my problem; that fix is only for XP or Vista and not W7; or my PC is already so messed up (despite clean hardware diagnostics, no viruses, no malware, and it is only 2 weeks old), that it performed unexpected and unwanted actions when trying to use the Windows features on/off program control panel options.
Opened Control Panel, went to Programs, and finally found the option on the left for turning Windows features on and off. Unchecked the box for IE8, which required a restart. The restart time was 4-5 times longer than usual, even when launching superfluous programs from the startup menu, since it had to "reconfigure Windows." After restarting, WIE did not automatically launch, and its toolbar icon was gone too. Tried to turn it back on like you said, which also required a restart, which didn't make sense to me, since I expected the browser to launch again following another extra long restart once the box was re-selected. Although, surprisingly, it didn't, so for a moment thought it had somehow worked. Then I realized that my WIE icon was still missing from the toolbar, so there was no way to launch it even if I wanted to. Went back into the Control panel and checked every Windows feature box possible; another extra-long restart; still no toolbar icon for WIE. Had to go into the computer files to find WIE so that I could create a desktop shortcut icon so I could manually launch the browser from that. However, when I clicked on the shortcut, it went into a browser setup mode, as if it was being set up for the first time. Finished setup and tried to go to a webpage, but kept getting a connection error.
Diagnosed it, and it said that the Local Area Connection had no valid IP address. Waited on hold with Mediacom for a hour before being disconnected, trying to find out what the IP address was and where to re-enter it, since unchecking the IE8 box in the Windows features part of the Control Panel, doesn't just temporarily disable the function, but apparently actually deletes the toolbar icon, as well as the IP address. Took several more attempts over several hours to get ahold of Mediacom reset the signal to get the IP address back and get back online. So that really does not seem like a viable solution for trying to save time and resources by removing something from the startup menu, if it just quadruples startup time, deletes WIE toolbar icon and IP address permanently, requires creating a desktop shortcut, and then requires several more hours on phone with ISP for signal reset to get the IP address back. Would have been much faster and done less apparent damage than just going ahead and letting it launch at startup and then just closing it. *sigh*
I know that just having an icon in the toolbar does not mean that that particular program will launch at startup, as I have several others that have toolbar icons that I have been able to uncheck in the startup menu, so I can use the toolbar icons to launch each program manually. There just doesn't seem to be any program active in the startup menu that would be launching the browser, and still concerned about unchecking something necessary in startup that could screw it up even more.
Is there any way to get my toolbar WIE icon back without a full system restore, so that I have less shortcut clutter on my desktop?

How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes?

How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes? I download my royalty-free music from VideoBlocks and it automatically launches iTunes and plays the song in iTunes. I just want to save it to a location without going through iTunes. How do I do so?

Open your web browser's preferences and set it not to automatically open safe files. If you're using Safari, this option is in the General tab.

Possible Bug: Migrating 6.1 to 7.0 - Uninstall of 6.1 removes 7.0 services

This is a report of a possible bug. We are migrating from 6.1 to 7.0u2. On our Admin Node, we finished migrating multiple instances from 6.1 to 7.0 so we went uninstalled the 6.1 server components. This uninstall process removed the 7.0u2 services though not the instances from the Admin Node. The configuration folders in the 7.0 folder were not removed so we were able to delete then redeploy the instance. Note that the service name in 6.1 was the same as the service name in 7.0 (e.g. https-xyz). However, we had already used the 6.1 Administration Server to remove each individual 6.1 server prior to migrating the configuration to 7.0.

hi
what do you mean by "removed the services" but not the instances ? The uninstaller for the "Sun ONE" web server removed the Windows Services for the multiple instances that I created for the "Sun Java System" web server.
If I am not mistaken, you probably didn't completely go through the migration log to make sure that what is migrated and what is not. please note that as part of migration all static content files and some other data files are not migrated. you are required to look into the migration log and make sure that you manually move those files into 7.0 location once the automated migration completes successfully. so, if you removed the 6.0 without migrating those static files , then you might see a whole bunch of 404 and other weird errors. Static content files have nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I had a 6.1 installation with a number of "servers" (what 7.0 calls instances). In order to migrate and keep the same service name (e.g. https-xyz), I had to first make a copy of the https-xyz configuration directory, use the 6.1 admin to remove the https-xyz (this would remove the https-xyz service), recopy the https-xyz configuration directory to the 6.1 install directory, then proceed with the automated migration.
for more information, on what is migrated and what not, please refer to
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2201/gbhfb?l=en&a=view
also ,please refer to the next link on the above pages related to 'files requiring manual migration'Once all my 6.1 instance migrations were complete and all that was left running from 6.1 was the Administration Server, I used the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel to uninstall the "Sun ONE Web Server 6.1" program. This uninstall process removed the Windows services created for the "Sun Java System" web server but did not remove the instances from the "Configuration Store" for the new web server.
Unfortunately, the bug that I am reporting above has nothing to do with "a whole bunch of 404 and other weird errors. "
