Screen view has odd characters for spaces

Snow Leopard is seriously ticking me off. I can't see standard space characters in ID and my apple mail displays cyrillic in all replies. I tried deleting helvetica from sys folder but it keeps coming back.
I saw a thread a few weeks back how to fix the ID preview but couldn't find it.
Here is screen from ID.
Here's my apple mail preview. Only REPLIES turn to cyrillic when they come back the 2nd time.

I run font finagler daily in an effort to clear this up. No go. I know it's helvetica thing in apple because as soon as I reboot I get t font conflict warning. Big surprise. I use Helvetica Neue Std and apple uses an otf helvetica neue. Short of never using Helvetica Neue again, I can't think of how to get rid of the conflicts. I've had to strip Leopard off just to work.

    My ipad will not start up, it has the swirl in the center of the screen and has been there for 30hrs now, what can I do?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Using mount_afp command when password has odd characters

    I'm attempting to use the mount_afp command in Terminal:
    mount_afp afp://Entegy:Not my 'real^ password@server/share /Volumes/mnt
    As you can see, my password contains spaces and other non-standard characters. I'm having trouble escaping my password so the command is properly accpeted. How would I do it?

    I don't think I can do that as sys or system on a client machine, connecting to a Unix server, because I can't expose that password and don't want those running this app to have those passwords.
    I may just have to tell them not to use an @ in the password of the user(s) running this application. I would have thought that EXP/IMP was "smart" enough to see a quoted password and not look for the @ until after the quoted password.
    Such is life. ;-)

    This exception merely means that the URL itsn't reachable on the given domain. It's actually a 404 error.

    Screen Exit is nothing but enhancing the screen like creating some more fields, subscreen and so on.
    1. Go to the screen>System>Status-->Program (Double
    click this program. It will take you to the program.
    2. Now, Goto-->Object Directory Entry.
    3. Make a note the package name.
    4. Now run the transactions SMOD, press F4 and enter the
    above noted package, press enter.
    5. It will display list of Exits.
    6. Now go back to the initial screen SMOD.
    7. Specify the exit name here and select the radio button
    Components.
    8. It will display four group boxes one for FM, second
    for Fcodes, thrid for Screen areas and last for
    includes.
    9. Goto transaction CMOD, create a new project, and
    click the button "Enhancement assignments" and
    specify your enhancements that you got in SMOD.
    10. Now bouble clikc the enhancement, it will take you to editor with some includes starting with Z, double clikc the include you want to edit and proceed.
    Have a look at below link It will definately help you to undestand the same.

    How to implement screen exit for a SAP standard transaction
    Introduction
    SAP provides standard transactions to enter data into database. But a client may want to maintain some additional information in SAP other than what is provided.
    To make provisions for this, additional screens have to be provided and additional fields must be added into appropriate database table.
    To pave way for this, SAP has provided the option for screen exits. Usually, SAP provides the following:
    An append structure in the database table with the new fields.
    A subscreen area into the standard screen – where the programmer can attach his subscreen of his own program with the new fields.
    A function group under which the new subscreen has to be created with the new fields.
    Function exits to synchronize the PBO and PAI of the standard SAP program with the PBO and PAI of the subscreen – so that data can flow back and forth between the standard SAP program and the program written by the developer for the subscreen. These function modules also exist in the same function group under which the subscreen will have to be developed.
    Finally, a linkage has to be done between the subscreen area of standard SAP screen with the custom subscreen constructed by the developer.
    Typically, SAP provides an enhancement in which the developer can create an append structure, use the function exits to synchronize the PBO and PAI of the standard SAP program and the custom subscreen program, and make the necessary linking( as mentioned above in step 4. But, again, this is not a hard and fast rule. Linking in some case, is also done by configurations.) SAP also usually provides the name of the function group under which the subscreen has to be developed.
    Necessary guidance about implementing a screen exit development is usually available in the Documentation section of the enhancement ( can be availed by transaction SMOD).
    Pre-Requisites
    The developer to work on screen exit should have essential knowledge on the following:
    DDIC concepts, including the knowledge of append structure.
    Concept of SAP Enhancements and implementing them using Projects.
    Concept of function exits.
    Knowledge on Module Pool – including subscreens, Tabstrip controls etc.
    Steps
    Guidelines
    So, a developer can follow the guidelines mentioned below to implement a screen exit to a standard SAP transaction, as and when required:
    Find out the Required Enhancements
    Go to SMOD. Press F4 in the Enhancement field. In the next popup window, click pushbutton ‘SAP Applications’. A list will appear that contains information on all the enhancements, categorized under functional areas. Developer must search for the enhancements relevant to his functional area of interest – for e.g., Purchasing, Asset Accounting, etc.
    Note down the enhancements. Then, come to the initial screen of SMOD and view the documentation of each enhancement to find out which one is required for your development.
    Utilize the Enhancement in a Project
    After you have found one, do as directed in the documentation. Generally, the steps are as follows:
    Create a project using CMOD including your enhancement.
    Create the append structure with new fields.
    Go to the desired function group and create a subscreen with the new fields. Write PBO and PAI for the subscreen, if required.
    Use the function exits in the enhancement to link the PBO and PAI of the subscreen with that of the main SAP program supporting the SAP transaction.
    Maintain necessary linkage between the subscreen area of standard SAP program with the custom subscreen developed along with the custom program name. This can be done in the project (developed by CMOD including the enhancement) or outside as a part of configuration.
    Activate the project.
    Test to ensure that required functionality are met.
    Case Study 1
    Add three new custom fields for Asset master and maintain information for them
    Requirement
    Three fields in the legacy system have to be maintained in Asset master. These fields are:
    Original Asset number – 20 characters
    Location 2 – 15 Characters.
    Model no – 20 characters
    Location 2 should start with ‘L’.
    Pre-Analysis
    Finding out the Enhancement
    As described above, the enhancement is determined. It was found, that enhancement AIST0002 will serve the purpose. It contains the following components (can be viewed by transaction SMOD):
    Exit Type Description EXIT_SAPL1022_001 Function Exit Check of User-Defined Fields when Using Create and Change BAPI EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 Function Exit Transfer Data for User Subscreens in PBO. EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 Function Exit Transfer of User-Defined Fields to SAP Master Data Transactions CI_ANLU Customizing Include Include structure to add new fields
    Studying the Function Exits
    The function module level documentation for the function exits are then viewed from transaction SE37. The documentation clearly laid out for the purpose for their use:
    EXIT_SAPLAIST_002
    Function module Level Documentation
    This function module is called by asset master data maintenance at the start of the dialog. (When changing, it is called after reading of the data from the database; when creating it is called after the transfer of the default values from the asset class and reference asset.) The purpose of the function module is to enable this function group to recognize the master data. For interpreting or controlling master data fields that are important for user fields, it is possible to transfer to global variables at this point, so that they can be recognized when the user subscreens are processed.
    Import Parameters
    Understanding
    This function module is called at the PBO to pass the information retrieved from the database to pass them to the custom subscreen and its underlying program. Import parameter : I_ANLU will be populated with the values for user-defined fields which will be passed to the subscreen program. So, there must be some sort of variable assignment from I_ANLU.
    EXIT_SAPLAIST_003
    Function module Documentation: This function module is called by SAP asset master data maintenance after the screens are processed, but before saving. The purpose of the function module is to transfer fields entered on user sub-screens of SAP asset data maintenance to the database for updating. The export parameter for this function module is:
    Understanding
    This function module will be used to transfer the user entered data in the subscreen fields to the main SAP program, which will then be saved into the database.
    Studying the Documentation of the Enhancement
    The enhancement documentation (as is viewed from the initial screen of SMOD] also supports the idea. Moreover, it informs that we need to develop a subscreen under function group XAIS. This is the function group under which the two function exit modules also exist. So, if the custom subscreen refers to the global data of the function group XAIS, then those values will also be available to these function exits as well.
    Going to SE80 and viewing the function group XAIS helps us to inform that there are three DDIC tables declared for it:
    Deciding the Final course of Action
    After making all the investigations, the final course of action was determined.
    SrlNo Step Justification
    A project has to be created using transaction CMOD where the enhancement AIST0002 will be included.
    Customizing include CI_ANLU has to be created with the custom fields demanded When CI_ANLU will be developed, the custom fields will get appended to the database table ANLU. Also, these fields will be used to create screen fields in the new subscreen.
    A custom subscreen, say, 9000 will be developed under function group XAIS. The screen group for the screen will be ‘CUST’ (or any name). The three custom fields added to table ANLU (by creating CI_ANLU) will be used to create new fields in the screen.
    In the PAI of the subscreen, validation for Location to start with ‘L’ will be added. The subscreen with three new fields has to be developed so that it can be attached to a subscreen area of the asset master screens.
    In the custom include of the function exit module ‘EXIT_SAPLAIST_002’, the following code will be written:-
    ANLU = I_ANLU. I_ANLU is the import parameter of this FM. The value is assigned to the global variable ANLU, referring which the three new subscreen fields are developed. So, data retrieved from database table ANLU will be passed to this FM as I_ANLU by the standard SAP main program. The value will be taken and passed to the global variable of the function group XAIS, so that the three custom fields (referring to ANLU of XAIS) get populated.
    In the custom include of the function exit module ‘EXIT_SAPLAIST_003’, the following code will be written:-
    E_ANLU = ANLU. The changed values in the subscreen fields exist in global variable ANLU for the function group XAIS. This function exit module will pass the data back to the SAP main program as E_ANLU.
    Proper linkage/configuration has to be done so that the new subscreens get linked to the appropriate subscreen area of the Asset master screen. This has to be done – otherwise, the new custom subscreen will not be displayed in the Asset master screens.
    Development
    Creating a Project to include the enhancement
    Go to transaction CMOD and create a project.
    Enter a description for the project. Then, click on the pushbutton ‘Enhancement Assignments’ in the Application Toolbar.
    Enter the name of the enhancement and Save.
    Go to ‘Components’.
    Creating Custom Include for ANLU
    The screen shown below will appear, showing all the enhancement components under the assignment AIST0002. Double-click on the name of the Include Structure to create it.
    Create the include structure with three new fields, as required. Then, save and activate it.
    Develop the subscreen and the program
    Go to transaction SE80. For the function group XAIS, create a new subscreen 9000.
    Create it as subscreen.
    Then, go to the Layout of the screen and create three new fields from Database table ANLU.
    Drag the fields in the screen body and place them.
    Then, save and activate the screen and come back to screen flow editor.
    Create the PAI module to add validation for field “Location 2”, as required .
    Activate the whole function group and come out.
    Write code in the Function Exits to synchronize the programs
    Now, code has to be written in the function modules EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 and EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 so that data flows to and fro between the main SAP program and custom subscreen program. For that, go back to transaction CMOD and change the function exits.
    Write code in the function module EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 called once at the beginning of the transaction:
    Write code in EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 to pass the data from the subscreen to SAP main program.
    Then, activate everything – the whole project and come out.
    Complete the configuration to link the subscreen
    The development portion is complete. Now, linking of the subscreen has to be done with the subscreen area of the main program. In most of the cases, this linking can be done in the enhancement itself. But, here, requirement is a bit different. It is done by configuration using SPRO.
    Assets are created under Asset class. And for each asset class, there is a layout assigned to it. For a layout, there are multiple tab pages assigned to it. And, for each tab page, there are multiple screen groups/field groups assigned.
    Here, the requirement is to create these three custom fields in the tab page ‘General’ of asset master screen ( AS01/AS02/AS03/AS91).
    Determine the Layout
    To achieve this, first of all, we need to find out which layout is assigned to asset class 1000.For that, go to transaction AOLK( information has to be obtained from functional consultant).Select the Asset Class ‘1000’ and click on folder ‘General Assignment of Layout’.
    Here, for Asset class 1000, for all the user groups, tab layout SAP is assigned. Since layout ‘SAP’ cannot be changed, it has to be copied and manipulated to include our screen group. Later, the new layout has to be assigned over here.
    Create new tab layout
    Go to transaction AOLA. Copy the tab layout ‘SAP’ to create another layout, say, YSUB.
    System will copy all the settings and will inform you about that.
    Select your newly created layout and double-click on the folder ‘Tab page titles’.
    You want to put your custom fields in the tab page “General”. So, select this tab page entry and double-click on the folder "Position of Groups".
    Here, all the field groups currently residing in the tab-page “General” are shown. Add an entry for your newly created fields.
    Select the group box from the list. An entry will come with “U” padded with the custom subscreen prepared by you.
    Then, save and come out.
    Assign the new Layout to Asset Class
    Now, go to tcode AOLK and assign tab layout YSUB for asset class 1000.
    Save and come out.
    Test the Exit
    Everything is over. Now, go to transaction code AS01/02/03 or AS91 to deal with an asset of asset class 1000. You will see your new fields added to the screen. Add values to them…save. Then, enter into the tcodes again to see whether the values entered by you are being displayed or not.

    The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?)  If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my dock has resided at the right margin so all my slider manipulation over countless editing sessions in Aperture has been ingrained to work at the left margin -- but, the vast majority of the time, the HUD overlaps the image I am editing in this 'unlocked' mode. 
    Every occasionally I enter Full Screen View and it positions on the left margin *without* superimposition...(!) My great joy is modulated into aggravation, however, should my tracking cursor drift all the way 'out of bounds' -- to call in the hidden pane of adjacent images sequenced in the library... This dramatically shrinks the Full Screen display and re-locks the HUD; if I toggle the switch to re-xpand the image it re-positions at the right margin!!!!  I SOOoooooo wish I knew how to control the default 'locked' margin of the HUD in Full Screen View...

    Drag it over to the Left. Then lock it there.

    Hello, my mac book air won't update. Every time i try it goes onto the purple starry screen and stays that way for hours, so i just have to shut it down. I have deleted a lot on my laptop so there is enough space, please help?

    I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
    I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
    I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

  • How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

    How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
    After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

    There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
    Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
    I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

    Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
    However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:
