Sidebar Favorites that point to folders on our server

We have two people using Lion now on MacBook Pros...
Both users had several favorites that pointed to folders on our server. The favorites do nothing. However, if you "re-add" a folder that is located on the server then all the favorites start working again. If you add any folder that is located on the server then all the favorites that pointed to folders on our server they all start working again.
The next day, the problem starts all over again. Favorites stop working, "re-add" a folder from the server and the favorites start working again.
Any thoughts on how to permanently fix this?

I have the same problem, and I've posted my experience here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17198655#17198655
A temporary fix is to relaunch the Finder (option + right click on Finder icon in Dock, select Relaunch) but applications that are running and are used to grab files using those very same Sidebar favorites might adjust to the Finder being relaunched.
That happened to me when I was trying to grab an attachment from the server using Outlook for Mac 2011. I had to restart Outlook to recognize the Finder changes.

Bridge Deleting Folders on Our Server

Twice now here at work,
2 different people were trying to make a shortcut in their 'favorites' panel in Bridge,
and the folder itself has disappeared COMPLETELY...
luckily our server is backed up nightly,
so not much was lost (except that morning's work), but still, how is this happening?
In the first instance,
the person was dragging the folder from a 'finder' window into 'favorites' and it just disappeared,
the second instance was being done directly in Bridge and the same thing happened...
This is more than a little scary, and have never had this problem before and now it's happened twice in a month...
We're all on iMacs (10.6 and up) and using CS 5....
H E L P!
Thanks

Bridge seems to literally be deleting the folder from our server somehow when trying to make a shortcut in the favorites panel...
First of all, Bridge is not designed to work over a network configuration, nor does Adobe support this use. Creating a favorite of a folder is nothing else then creating an alias for this folder so their should be no reason to delete it at all.
But all things that you change in Bridge are user related and the info is stored somewhere in the user library (not everything is easy to find but if you preview a file the cache for it builds in the Cache folder which is by default in the user library in the user account itself. If you work on other accounts over a network their might get confusion of which info to store where. I find it hard to believe Bridge deletes folders completely by creating an alias but I also have no experience with network environment.
So if you would like to use a Digital Asset Management and you want to use Bridge for it you should threat it with great care and much discipline for all users.
Check this blog, this guy did achieve a network based environment.
But to be honest, you better look for a dedicated network DAM application that is designed for this task. And if you need the powers of Bridge you best do so in user based situations.

Hard drive volume appears in sidebar Favorites when new disk mounts

Hard drive on my 17” MacBook Pro Quad Core i7 (2.5 GHz, 8GB SDRAM OS 10.8.2) is partitioned into 4 volumes; I'll call them A-Mountain Lion startup drive, B-Personal, C-Work, D-minimal clean Mt. Lion for emergencies. Problem relates to my regular boot drive.
I have Finder sidebars set to show 8 or 10 folders in the "Favorites" section and have ticked all boxes in the "Devices" section. Most of the time I have no external disks, CDs, etc., connected to the MBP, so the Devices section generally shows my computer and the four partitions. So far, so good.
Lately, every time an external volume is mounted and every time a disk image is mounted, the Personal volume (B) of my internal drive, which is already showing under Devices, also pops up in the Favorites section of the sidebar. I remove it from the Favorites, but the next time an external disk or a disk image mounts, there it is again. It's always volume B, never A, C, or D.
I have tried everything I can think of to cure this odd behavior: Used Disk Utility (verify all disks/volumes; repair volumes; repair permissions; etc.), though nothing seemed wrong. I've run Disk Warrior on all volumes. I cleaned out everything possible on the startup drive (A) with the latest version of Onyx. I've repeatedly trashed the plists I could identify in my user Library that had "sidebar" or "finder" in their names. I've logged in and out; started and restarted; started with shift key down. Still, every time a new volume or disk mounts, up pops this extra volume B among the Favorites (where it shouldn't be). I checked and unchecked various combinations of sidebar items in Finder Preferences. I've Forced Quit the Finder. It doesn't matter whether all, some, or no devices are checked; when a new disk mounts, there's the extra volume B again.
I have only two other clues to add. (1) I created a new temporary user account on my startup drive (volume A), and this behavior did NOT occur in the new account. (2) This same behavior had arisen once before, a couple of months ago. I went through similar blind attempts to cure it then, but at some point I must have done something right because I it got fixed. For the life of me, I can't remember which of all the things I tried did the trick.
Many thanks to anyone who can shed light on this annoying behavior.

I can add a bit to my earlier description. I had said the problem did not occur in a new user account. Well, after using the new account for a while, it showed up. Eventually I erased the startup volume and installed Mountain Lion (plus updates to 10.8.2) fresh. I used migration assistant to transfer only my old user, pared down applications, and network settings -- no preferences, application support stuff. The old user carried over the problem. But I immediately created a new user and have been working from it for the past two weeks, very gradually opening apps, adjusting settings, etc., and testing for the anomaly at each change. In some cases I did move preferences from a backup clone, but was always careful to test after each addition. All was well for a week, until one morning I noticed the data partition had appeared in sidebar Favorites. So I'm back to where I was. I had been documenting each change or introduction I made. The only things my notes said from the day before the sidebar anomaly appeared was launching and struggling to activate QuarkXPress 9.3, and copying over my old prefs and settings for TextWrangler. I completely removed every trace of QXP, but the problem remained. (I did not remove TextWrangler because I just can't believe it could be the culprit -- but could it?)
I also noticed a similar (though maybe not identical) problem posted in another thread <https://discussions.apple.com/message/20591050#20591050>, but so far no answers there either.

Problem while opening a link of a PDF that points to a specific page to another PDF

PDF links whose URIs include backslashes are interpreted by Acrobat Reader browser plug-in as local file-system links even when they are not. This means that a link that points to a specific page number will open the file but not automatically jump to the desired page . In our browser-based viewing tool, this means that the links are perceived as not working.
for example : from IE Browser When we tried to open the link in PDF 1 which has the URL of the 5th section of PDF2 and the URL includes the backslashes then the Specific section of PDF2 is not getting opened . The link just opens the PDF2 first page. This Specific problem does not arrives if we try to open the link through Adobe Reader or if the URL mentioned in the PDF is formed using forwordslashes instead of backslashes.

Create a tab that points to an external link ?

Hi,
Oracle 11g r2.
Apex 4.1.1.00.23.
I need to create a tab that points to an external link (actually a link to our old Forms application).
For the moment, I simply added the tab "manually" in the template by writing the needed HTML after the #TAB_CELLS# substitution string.
It works but it does not allow me to control authorization scheme, etc.
Is there any way I can create a tab without associating it to an existing page, but pointing to an external link ?
Thank you.
Yann.

Hi,
Create page zero to your app if you do not have one.
Create tab that lead to page zero.
Edit tab and check what is tab name.
Tab name (not label) is important as it is reguest when you press tab.
Create application process On Submit: After Page Submission - Before Computations and Validations like
apex_util.redirect_url('http://www.google.com');Set condition to process Request = Expression 1 and enter to Expression 1 your tab name (not label)
Regards,
Jari

Lightroom 3 help with two hard drives that has missing folders

Ok so I am operating on Lepoard osx using lightroom 3. I have two external hard drives we will call them A and B. I have used the existing catalog for a while in hard drive B. Hard drive A is where I done the most work on photos. I have imported a ton of photos from hard drive A and exported them etc. I'm not sure what happened exactly but, the folders that should be in Hard Drve A are now in Hard B and they have question marks next to them. I then right clicked on the folders in Hard Drive B and located them in Hard Drive A. I then made a new cataloge in hard drive A and closed Lightroom. I opened up Lightroom and told Lightroom to use the new cataloge I created. when it opend the folders were back in hard drive B. What is going on? Can any one help?
Thanks
Calvin

I'm not sure why this is happening to you but I would suggest that you use Mac Finder to make sure where these folders actually are - on drive A, on drive B, or - maybe - on both?
Only when you know where the folders are can you start rectifying the situation in Lr.
If you find that you have folders on both drives - and you don't want that - consolidate all folders into one drive. Do this in Mac Finder but - at this point - do not rename folders or change the folder structure, if you can help it.
When - according to Mac Finder - everything is as it should, open LR and locate all the folders that show question marks.
Also, it doesn't help when you tell Lr to create a new catalog every time something is not right. Having more than one catalog tends to be confusing, and - unless you are very experienced in Lr - brings trouble.
Since your different catalogs are probably contradictory I would suggest that you do NOT merge them to create one catalog. Instead - after everything is fine again - move all the other catalogs into a different folder so that Lr does not find them (but memorize the location). If after a while you decide that you don't need the other - moved - catalogs, you can delete them. From then on, it would be preferable that you work only with one catalog.

Building a form based on a synonym that points to a database link

Hello
Finally I got APEX 3 installed on our test server. I am starting to work with it and I faced my first problem...
I need to build an application that will query and maintain data stored in another database server. This is because we were not allowed to install APEX in the production server. So I created a schema DEV_USER (which I associated with the workspace). In this schema I created a private database link my_link and a synonym:
create synonym the_table for the_table@my_link
I am trying to create a form to query and maintain that table via the synonym but I am not succeeding. The wizard does not work as the synonym is not listed in the table list. Then I created the form manually, creating the items, the Automatic Row Processing process etc. When I run the page I get the error Error ORA-01403: no data found.
Is it possible to use APEX in this scenario (accessing synonyms that point to database links)? What is the recommended approach in this case?
Thanks
Luis

Hi Kathryn
Thanks very much for your reply. I did as you suggested; I dropped the synonym and created a view:
create view my_table as select * from my_table@my_dblink
...and was able to create a multirow form based on that view.
However, when I try to update any value on the form, I get the following error when submitting it:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column ORA-02063: preceding line from DB_LINK, update "APEX_DEV"."MY_TABLE" set "CAMPAIGN_ID" = :b1, "SITE" = :b2, "PERCENTUAL" = :b3, "DURATION_MONTHS" = :b4, "PRG_ID" = :b5, "AFF_ID" = :b6 where "CAMPAIGN_ID" = :p_pk_col and "SITE" = :p_pk_col2
I thought it was because the form was based on a view; so I dropped the view and re-created the synonym (using the same name). When I tried to submit the updates again I got this error:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 0, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "35636E5FDD251146DB4B7B56119E7914", item checksum = "A884FA378C851786DDFE3A33709CB23C"., update "APEX_DEV"."MY_TABLE" set
If you or anyone else could point out what I am missing, and maybe explain what those messages mean, it would be great!
Thanks
Luis

SharePoint 2010 document library - Add a link that points to a page

Hi
A department has created a document library. Now, they would like to have a link visible in that library that points to another .aspx page. Is that possible?
I've seen how to add a "link to a document", but I want to add a link to a page, not a document.
Thanks in advance,
Sonya

Thanks. I think adding a web part should satisfy their request.
I tried the "Link to a document" content type suggestion, but I'm not sure if there's something missing from our SharePoint installation, or if something is different with our template.docx file, or if SharePoint 2010 is playing strangely with
Office 2013, but after I added the "Link to a document" content type and chose it from the New Document drop-down, it wants to auto-launch Word 2013 with no dialogue for adding a URL.
However, once in Word, there are a couple of boxes just above the content area to type a URL and a description (screenshot below). I pasted the URL to the page in the URL box, left the description and content area blank, then saved the file back
to the library. However, when you click on the document in the library, it simply wants to open Word without going to the link.

Applescript that searches for folders by name

I've set up a bunch of folder action scripts on our Xserve that changes the colour label of folders when they are dropped into specific folder, I use this to help organise which jobs are live and which are finished and ready for backup.
The system works well, but because there is a live work folder and finished work folder for each of our clients and each of these has a folder action attached, our server is taking quite a hammering with System events using huge processor cycles.
Someone kindly came up with the script below for a stay open script that would check the folders every 30 seconds and change the folder labels, which would be perfect, but it only finds "Live Work" and "Finished Work" folders on the desktop, All our Client folders are actually on a xserve RAID, so I need to modify the script so it seaches all of the RAID for folders called "live work" or "finished work" and batch changes the colour label.. any ideas?
property LiveWorkFolder : "Live Work"
property FinishedWorkFolder : "Finished Work"
property NoColor : 0
property Orange : 1
property Red : 2
property Yellow : 3
property Cyan : 4
property Magenta : 5
property Green : 6
property Gray : 7
on idle
tell application "Finder"
repeat with d in folder LiveWorkFolder
set label index of d to Green
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder"
repeat with d in folder FinishedWorkFolder
set label index of d to Red
end repeat
end tell
-- rerun this routine for constant surveillance
return -- rerun by default every 30 seconds
-- return 10 -- rerun every 10 seconds
end idle

01. In your original post, you stated:
property LiveWorkFolder : "Live Work"
property FinishedWorkFolder : "Finished Work"
...; however, in your pictorial reply post - you show 'Finished Jobs' and 'Live Jobs'.
Also, as such - i do not know how your code works; since the 'LiveWorkfolder' and 'FinishedWorkFolder' properties, or - else where in your code you, do not supply a complete file path.
02. Via 'Disk Utility' I created a disk image - titled 'RAID'. In 'RAID' I created three (3) folders {All-Clad, ASDA, and Bentley}, which each containing a 'Projects' folder; and each 'Projects' folder containing folders 'Finished Jobs' and 'Live Jobs'. In these last two (2) folders I place some randomly selected files.
The code below (based on my above posted code - which had 'on idle', 'return', and 'end idle' commented out) worked, as expected.
property LiveWorkFolder : "Live Jobs"
property FinishedWorkFolder : "Finished Jobs"
property MasterPath : "RAID" -- The name of the folder, or volume, which contains the folders of the users, whose related folders contain the 'Live Work' and 'Finished Work' folders.
property NoColor : 0
property Orange : 1
property Red : 2
property Yellow : 3
property Cyan : 4
property Magenta : 5
property Green : 6
property Gray : 7
on idle
tell application "Finder"
set liveWorkFolder_List to every folder of entire contents of folder MasterPath whose name contains LiveWorkFolder
set FinishedWorkFolder_List to every folder of entire contents of folder MasterPath whose name contains FinishedWorkFolder
repeat with i in liveWorkFolder_List
set label index of every item in i to Green
end repeat
repeat with i in FinishedWorkFolder_List
set label index of every item in i to Red
end repeat
end tell
-- rerun this routine for constant surveillance
return 30 -- rerun by default every 30 seconds
-- return 10 -- rerun every 10 seconds
end idle
03. At least here (in 'on idle' ... 'end idle' ) ...
return
... by itself, does not imply 'return 30'. Thus, the reason for ...
return 30
... above.

When I back up our Thunderbird email from our office computer to our laptop, all of our folders from our inbox get duplicated to our archives, or vice versa.

When we back up our Thunderbird email from our office computer to our laptop so we can continue doing business when we are away from the office, most (if not all) of our folders get duplicated between our inbox and our archives, or vice versa, we're not sure which. All we know is that many of our folders are copied. We have 62 folders in our archive, and 74 in our inbox. After checking- it appears that our archived folders are being duplicated back in to our inbox.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Problems syncing Iphone with Public folders in exchange on our server?

We have downloaded and installed the latest version of Itunes. We have our calendars as public folders on our office exchange server. When we go to set up the sync, under calendars the first time we open it up, it shows a list of our public calendar folders but they are all greyed out and only gives us the option of "calendar". Once we sync as a test to see what happens, the list of our public folder calendars no longer appears. What do we need to do, to sync our Iphone, using Itunes, with the public calendar folder on our server. I know it sees them because of the initial list. But I can not get the phone to sync to a public calendar. Any helpful suggestions?

Tried that, I get the following when I go to the Public Folder Management Console:
Cannot complete the operation because there isn't an available public folder database on server
And even if I did that how does that help me retrieve my missing information?

TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems. I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally. So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens. If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
Any idea how I can clear that message?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Further info on my question above.
I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some.
I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

How do I create a 1d array that takes a single calculation and insert the result into the first row and then the next calculation the next time the loop passes that point and puts the results in thsecond row and so on until the loop is exited.

The attached file is work inprogress, with some dummy data sp that I can test it out without having to connect to equipment.
The second tab is the one that I am having the problem with. the output array from the replace element appears to be starting at the index position of 1 rather than 0 but that is ok it is still show that the new data is placed in incrementing element locations. However the main array that I am trying to build that is suppose to take each new calculation and place it in the next index(row) does not ap
pear to be working or at least I am not getting any indication on the inidcator.
Basically what I am attempting to do is is gather some pulses from adevice for a minute, place the results for a calculation, so that it displays then do the same again the next minute, but put these result in the next row and so on until the specifiied time has expired and the loop exits. I need to have all results displayed and keep building the array(display until, the end of the test)Eventually I will have to include a min max section that displays the min and max values calculated, but that should be easy with the min max function.Actually I thought this should have been easy but, I gues I can not see the forest through the trees. Can any one help to slear this up for me.

I didn't really have time to dig in and understand your program in depth,
but I have a few tips for you that might things a bit easier:
- You use local variables excessively which really complicates things. Try
not to use them and it will make your life easier.
- If you flowchart the design (very similar to a dataflow diagram, keep in
mind!) you want to gather data, calculate a value from that data, store the
calculation in an array, and loop while the time is in a certain range. So
theres really not much need for a sequence as long as you get rid of the
local variables (sequences also complicate things)
- You loop again if timepassed+1 is still less than some constant. Rather
than messing with locals it seems so much easier to use a shiftregister (if
absolutely necessary) or in this case base it upon the number of iterations
of the loop. In this case it looks like "time passed" is the same thing as
the number of loop iterations, but I didn't check closely. There's an i
terminal in your whileloop to read for the number of iterations.
- After having simplified your design by eliminating unnecessary sequence
and local variables, you should be able to draw out the labview diagram.
Don't try to use the "insert into array" vis since theres no need. Each
iteration of your loop calculates a number which goes into the next position
of the array right? Pass your result outside the loop, and enable indexing
on the terminal so Labview automatically generates the array for you. If
your calculation is a function of previous data, then use a shift register
to keep previous values around.
I wish you luck. Post again if you have any questions. Without a more
detailed understanding of your task at hand it's kind of hard to post actual
code suggestions for you.

I'm not sure if my iPhoto library is being backed up by Time Machine. I am backing up to a LaCie external hard drive. I can open photos that are in folders but not those that are in iPhoto.
