Selected NIS instead of DNS by accident..

Hi,
I was doing the initial setup on a bunch of SunFire V100 servers, got a little sleepy and selected NIS instead of DNS on one of the machines. The machine will not boot. Here's what I get through the LOM connection. It just hangs here. I'm not sure what to do. I'd like to reset the thing and run through the setup again but how? Any help much appreciated. The machine came without a Solaris 8 CD ... I'm guessing I could order/download a CD, boot from CD and ???

Hello,
using 'boot -s' to start into single-user mode should allow to edit the configuration /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Either rename the file and copy nsswitch.files or nsswitch.dns as nsswitch.conf.

Hmmm, I wonder if that window is hidden or off screen? Have you moved the pic window around to look under it?
Might try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Export copies of the photo(s) from iphoto onto your desktop and use that to upload to ebay

While deleting an album, I hit select all, instead of deleting just that album the entire genre was deleted. I was able to get back all the purchased songs , but none of the cds that were in my collection. Any way to get those songs back?

Assume you were in itunes? Also assuming windows? Two paths I can think of.....
1) Normally anything deleted from itunes goes to recycle bin. If you did not pick remove from computer probably still in itunes music directory. Just add back. Note to speed things up you can use add directory.
2) Use restore previous version of music directory. To be safe I'd back up current directory, do a restore, then swap back original directory and use restored directory off line.
I do not know of nice solution, I like to hack my way through.

How do i remove an Update notification? I do not want to update to the latest iOS (Asian languages) which is useless to me and I don't want to waste space on my iPad. I want to be able to "Select All" instead of doing each update individually.

That's quite a title I created! Sorry, I've never submitted a question before! ☺ I do not want to update to the latest iOS (Asian language stuff) which is useless to me and I don't want to waste space on my iPhone 4S and iPad 5. I want to be able to "Select All" updates instead of doing each update individually. It's a real pain in the you-know-what. Does anyone know how to I remove this notification (and any other updates I'm not interested in) from the Updates page? Thanks so much everyone!

Thanks so much for your time! I wish you had a more positive answer, but c'est la vie! I hate the fact that I cannot control my apps and feel like a hostage of the developer(s). I've read other forums and some responses were "then delete the app!" Lame answer! So thank you so much for your respectful and insightful reply! Cheers.

Lightroom 3 Brush issue- Selects vectors instead of showing brush path

Often when working with the brush tool a very strange bug arises.
Instead of the brushstrokes being visible in a normal way, the active area around the brush becomes a large square shape, slightly brighter than its surroundings.
What this means is i can t see what im painting because a large square blankets the area around which im working. very strange its like the brush is selecting vectors around it as im using it.
the actual painted area then become visible again when i release the mouse.
i have managed to overcome by restarting LR, but is just keeps happening after using the brush tools for a while.
Any ideas on how i might fix this?

I've noticed this behavior as well... a restart always fixes it, but of course it usually happens when I'm working late at night (which makes me think I'm losing my mind). Wondering if anyone has any answers as to why? I'm also using a Macbook Pro with the latest updates in LR (running Snow Leopard, not Lion).

Ios 7 selection area instead of swipe

HI Everyone,
Somehow my iPhone 5, running iOS7, now has a selection bar showing up instead of simply swiping or tapping an area. I haven't a clue how this was envoked, nor have I found a way to turn this off. I've tried rebooting the phone, but no lock.
I'm assumiing this is some sort of accessability function. I can work my way to settings, but cannot get the phone to scroll down to other areas in the screen.
Any suggestions?
~Q

You can't go back. Why do you want to go back? 7.1 is much more stable then 7.0.6.
It's only very important since 7.0.6 and 7.1 that you are not giving every app access to GPS only the ones you trust and need (e.g Maps). Some bad apps (e.g. because of a bug which i had with an app called 'Scoupy') could still run in the background and could drain you battery although the app is closed. Also e.g. resetting you iPhone then doesn't help.

Fixing incorrectly chosen face (clicked CHECK instead of X by accident)

Hello all,
I was going through the Faces thing with my 86,000 photo Aperture library. On one photo, I accidentally clicked the CHECK when I meant to click the X. Unfortunately, that means now one photo is labeled as my son instead of as me. (To make it more problematic, we have the same first name so it's hard to tell without getting the tooltip to see which name Aperture has selected.)
Now when "wiping" through the photos for my son, my picture pops up. Some of the other pictures are now misidentifying me as my son.
Does anyone know how to tell Aperture to remove that picture from the "this is my son" setting?
Thanks,
Doug

An alternative method for changing the name of an incorrectly named face is to:
1. Select the project which contains the incorrectly named face.
2. Click the View Faces icon (Shift-F) on the top right.
3 Double-click the face from the cork board as you have described.
4. Select the incorrectly name face.
5. Click on any either Split View or Viewer icon on top right.
6. Select the menu Metadata>Assign Names or just press N. You should see a black name tag pointing to the face.
7. Click on the name tag, change the name and then press Done.
You can also add names to unnamed faces within a single photo while in the Assign Names mode.
This actually takes much less time to do than it will take to read the steps, particularly if you use the keyboard shortcuts.
You can also start by selecting Photos in your Library, then proceeding with steps 2-7, but if you have a large library this slows things done somewhat.

Am I doing the right thing of selecting MBP instead of rMBP?

Hi,
I'm a game developer and am getting my first Mac computer just to jump into iOS game development. I currently have a Core-i3 17" laptop and it's doing what I want but can't make iOS files. I'm not sure what to do with my current machine when I get the Mac, maybe I keep it for our game development team, maybe not.
I spent 3 weeks reading reviews and forum boards regarding MBP and rMBP and finally chose MBP but as I've read more MBP reviews, reviewers despite saying that MBP is a good machine, say that it's the last iteration of Apple in the design and "a thing from the past".
Let me tell you about my thought process and hopefully people can help me:
Display:
rMBP's best thing against MBP is it's display, which I don't think I have any use for. I usually work with text editors to write code and almost never watch movies with my laptop's screen and always connect it to my TV via HDMI and no game engine is Retina-enabled as of now and I don't have images that fit that display nor I do film editing or intensive photography/Photoshop. So if I get the Retina display, I'll mostly switch it to 1440x900 in order to "work" with most softwares and as I'll be still using Windows alot, the 2880x1800 has no usage there as none of the softwares that I work there updated themselves. But it's IPS/LPS technology will be lovely for me and I don't forget first time I saw one of those 27" Apple monitors that blew me away.
rMBP wins here but I'm afraid it will hurt me more than being useful to me.
HDD:
I'll surely install Windows there so a 256Gb SSD will fill up way easily. I'll keep a lot of stuff on my machine and getting a better external drive helps but if I get rMBP I'll have to buy one, which adds another $100 or $200.
Also give that if you fill up an SDD, you'll lose performance gradually, I'll probably have to invest around $200 to get an external HDD if I end up with rMBP.
Also I want to install games on Windows to use it's GPU and with 256Gb, that will suffer if you use more than it's %85, it will be a waste. I know I can install games on external drive but that's not cool.
Yes SSD is fast, and my helps my work and loading games but I think here the size matters more than speed.
So MBP wins here. (I can later change MBP's optical drive to an SSD and put my OS'es there)
Upgradibility:
Since I'll probably leave for a teaching job and there are not apple stores there, if I want to repair my machine, I'll have to use unauthorized repairs so fixing MBP's are hard already, give the glued battery and soldered RAM, makes it almost impossible.
And also if I get rMBP, I'll have to panic and upgrade RAM at least, even though even games do not need that amount of RAM and when they do, my GPU will be the bottle neck years before that.
(Very nice article regarding thsii: http://ifixit.org/2763/the-new-macbook-pro-unfixable-unhackable-untenable/)
MBP clearly wins here.
Weight & Size:
Yes I, like most people, prefer a lighter machine but since I'm to a 17" HP and an old Core Due Toshiba, I think the 15" MBP will be light enough and that extra lightness is not mandatory for me.
rMBP wins but goes to some extra points that MBP aldready has.
Optical Drive:
I almost do not use it, so I can live without one. But I like the fact that I, apparently, can remove MBP's super drive and put an SSD there, maybe I'll do this like in about a year or so that I'll upgrade it's RAM, give that I take MBP.
MBP wins, because I can remove the optical drive and put whatever I want instead.
Resale value:
rMBP wins, clearly. Because most people's brains are in their eyes.
Possible error:
rMBP is first generation and new batch of a new electronic product and we've already heard and read about defected machines and me living overseas will make it even worse if anything shows up.
One of the things that I don't like about MBP is that I feel like I'm buying a last-generation thing because clearly Apple's aim is towards Retina and SSD but I'm going against it. Maybe I'm all wrong and should trust Apple.
So what do you think on this? Please be specific as you like, I hate general sentences without proof. And if you compare things, please show some website or proof for it so it will be easier to talk on a solid base/accusation.
Thanks in advance. It will be my first Mac that I'm buying with a looot of savings, that's why I'm scared a bit.

Ordered 7/16/2012 the 2012 15.4" Macbook Pro (NON retina)
With:
2.6GHz i7 CPU
1GB GPU
HR Antiglare Screen
750GB 7200 RPM HDD (soon to be replaced with Crucial M4 SSD with a fresh install of Mountian Lion)
I really wanted the rMBP but just could not see the real value of the Retina display when the (HR) 1680 X1050 is really ideal for me. I also have the late 2011 Macbook Air that has 1440 X 900 resolution, it's not antiglare and not glossy either. I also have a 2006 Black Macbook with 1280 X 800 and it's not antiglare and not glossy. If the rMBP offered a antiglare display I'd probably still be deciding (took 3 weeks already).
The thoughts that keep me on the fence between the 15" rMBP and 15" MBP was "I need to buy the future and not invest in the past".
And since I made the decision Im glad I did (15" MBP Antiglare).
my Pros/Cons list
                         rMBP          MBP
Speed                   X                X     (tie, if add SSD)
Expansion                               X
Weight                  X
Generation                              X     (decided long ago to NOT buy 1st generation anything, if possible)
Repairability                            X
Resale                  X                       (not sure here but makes since, new beats old)
Antiglare                                 X
Cost                     X
Ports                                       X     (FW800, Gigabit Ethernet, DVD/CD drive)
Value                                       X

How do I print just a selected text instead of entire page?

Hello. I have a question about printing selected text. In windows there is an option to highlight a specific text from a let's say a browser window or document. Then you can right click and hit print. When the print window comes up you can select "print selected". Is there a way to do that on Mac OS X?
Black Macbook Core Duo 2 GHz 2GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try Print Selection

Thanks for the reply but it took me a bit of time to figure out how to find that option!
For those who didn't know either, it's under "Firefox" in the third section of the print window.

How do I get all of my favorites, transferred from IE11 to display when I select "favorites", instead of opening them as tabs?

I have transferred them over but when I select them, only a partial list is displayed. I can open them all as tabs but that is not satisfactory to me. I could see them all with IE11.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top or hold down the alt key to display the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

How to highlight selected tab instead of getting the first tab by defaultly

Hi All ,
I had one problem with the Jquery accordian. When I am selecting one tab in Jquery accordian then that tab is not getting highlited.
By defaultly the first tab is getting highlited or selected. The page for that selected tab is opening but the tab is not opening. By defaultly the first tab in accordian is getting selected.
Can some one help me on this.
Thanks & Regards,
P.Mohan Reddy

My question is like when we click on the first tab in the accordian then that page will open and in the accordian the 1st tab will be opened and other tabs r closed in the jquery accordian. But in the same way when i am selecting the 2nd tab or other tabs in the accordian then that particular tab is not opening even in that case also the 1st tab is opening and the selected tab is not opening.

Hey user,
If i'm understanding it right, you want to show the values instead of the id, which is very usefull. If that is the case, try this website:

That looks like yours but it explains a little better. Probably you forgot to go to the UIhints part...
Hope that helps,
