Slightly off-topic: mailbfr runs interactively, but not from the cron
Hi All
Not strictly an Apple problem: I've installed mailbfr and it runs interactively OK, but when I do the thing to create a cron job etc, it never runs. I've checked crontab and the job is there.
Anything to check?
Thanks!
BP
mailbfr uses rsync and thus adds only changes after the first backup. So it's a good idea to use different directories once a week.
Your cron job looks ok (you used the syntax I gave you to get it, right?) and mailbfr doesn't care whether it's run interactively or not.
What do your logs tell you? Cron output gets send to "root" on your system. If you haven't done so, add an alias so that mail for "root" comes to your mailbox.
Does cron per se actually run? Check /system/library/launchdaemons/com.vix.cron.plist

couldn't find the adequate forum. I run win 8.1 and the adobe acrobat dc app on my computer doesn't access the doc cloud. I can´t turn the mobile link on. I can access the cloud from my browser, but not from the desktop app. I can access from my mobile app.
Can you please post a screenshot of your Acrobat DC when launched, without opening a PDF?

Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?
Hi,
Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.

You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

How do I download a home DVD video disk (-R) to iMovie where I can then edit? I can download from a camera, but not from the disk.
iPhoto pulls off new videos from my iPhone 5 just fine. Does iPhoto automatically come up when you connect your iPhone? If it does, you should see your iPhone under "Devices" in iPhoto and then can select the videos to transfer (select, then Import Selected), though that should happen automatically.

Airplay works fine in iTunes but not from the menu why?
Hi Guys,
I have read so many answers to the question about Airplay not working both here and the internet.
Can someone give me the definative answer why I can Airplay from iTunes but not from the Macbook Pro itself i.e. no menu icon or setting to mirror.
Everyone seems to say its the age of the computer or its the firewall or the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.
Why if I can do it oneway (iTunes), I can not do it directly?
I am using a 2011 macbook pro 10.9.3 and a apple tv 3.
Is there a hack or work around with out purchasing more software.
ThanksHey Beauvoir17,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, I can conclude that your MacBook is indeed compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, as outlined in the following resource:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:
- iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
- Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
If you are experiencing issues with AirPlay mirroring, I would recommend the troubleshooting steps outlines at the bottom of the article.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box. -

just recently my iphone is not syncing calendar to my macbook. It has worked all along until about a week ago. It does transfer new items from the computer to the iphone but not from the iphone to the computer.
Plug you iPhone into your computer, select the iPhone, select the photos tab. Now check (not uncheck) the sync photos from... Select the folder where the photo came from, click apply then sync, now uncheck the sync photos box, click apply, it will ask you if you want to remove the photos click remove, it will not delete other photos exept the ones in the folder that was synced. Then click sync and the photos will be removed

I want to be able to erase the pictures out of my phone but not from the cloud
I want to be able to erase the pictures out of my phone but not from the cloud and I still want them to go into the cloud. How can I do that?
Thanks!Are the pictures transferred to another device? Note the following quotation from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
If you are wanting a cloud storage option for photos you may want to investigate something like Flickr. -
Serious problem: Imovie is working from the event but not from the project
Hi,
Related to my other post, I have discovered that Imovie seems to be working fine in the event library, but not in the project library.
If I use the spacebar or play buttons in the event part, it shows the film in the right top screen or even in full screen mode.
But if I click on my project, nothing works anymore.
SjoerdHi
Try to make a new User/account. Log into this. Have a re-try.
How does it work now ?
If OK. Go back to Your first account, Take move out iMovie pref file to the desktop
Re.start iMovie.
Works OK ?
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
Yours Bengt W -

Error when running EXE but not from editor. How do I find it?
When I run my app from the editor, the program works fine. But when I try to run the EXE, I get an "index out of range" error. (???)
I examined my code extensively but I can't figure out for the life of me where the error's coming from.
Any advice on how to track it down? Thanks.Find out what is using indexes then correct whichever code is using indexes. Apparently you have not examined your code extensively enough.
Can't you see details of the error and find what line the error occured on?
La vida loca
Monkeyboy brings an interesting point.
Try wrapping all of your code in a try-catch block and msgboxing the stacktrace, that way you can find the line.

SSIS Package runs from the Package executer and from BIDS but not from the sql agent schedular
Hi Experts,
I have 2 packages :
1. Main Package -For each loop package
2. Sub Package - As we need to collect the information from several other DB with same table structures .
The Main Package calls the Sub Package and loops through several linked server (9 of them ) .
From last 2 weeks the scheduler is running on time but no data is loaded into our destination DB .
Daily i need to manually run the package .
The SQL Agent task is scheduled using the service account from which the sql server was installed on the server so it has the full privledges.
If i run the Main package from the BIDS i see 2 messages related to the configuration of xml no error message and executes fine.
If i run the Package from the execute package utility it runs fine.
Now if the package is scheduled for a nightly load it executes fine successfully no error message also in the Job History
but when i check for the data loaded on that day no data loads up in the destination DB . Due to this behavior of the sql agent even if am on leave i have to login on to the server and exec manually so if at times i forget the exec we are in big trouble
Please experts help me in troubleshooting the issue.
Thanks
PriyaHi Visakh16 ,
We are using a service account to run the package .. Earlier in the BIDS i was getting the error crypotgenic
something password .. I googled out and changed the security : Protection Level : Dont save Sensitive
information . So that error now its not showing in the BIDS
And how is login mapping done for the linked servers? You've configured a mapped login for the service account also?
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs -
