[SOLVED][GNOME] What is the line for the startup sound?
Hi!
I removed the startup sound from GNOME.
I don't even remember if it did work, but I press the remove button a bit too quickly and there is no confirmation box.
Could you launch gnome-session-properties and tell me the command line for the GNOME startup sound please?
Thanks!

Im really mad of whats wrong with this its been going on for 2 to 1 week and idk what the reason for the loading is for plz help
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Using Pages, I have created a document and inserted a Table for use logging an inventory. When I came to print this document the lines and boarders of the Table feature did not print however the text did print in the table format. How do I get the lines and boarders to print also?

I have been trying to update my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 for about 30 minutes and I keep getting the same thing. It says,"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The network connection could not be established." What do I need to do to solve this problem?
iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
For error -50: See error 13 and 14:
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. -

What is the future for the enterprise server line from Apple?
Hi.
I work at a company that is looking at several choices for our services. We've had a Xserve G5 for quite a while and we've been very pleased with it. Although it hasn't been a smooth ride, there haven't been any major issues that have blocked the evaluation.
However, now we are currently comming to an end of our evaluation period of different systems, and now we have to decide. The Xserve/MacOSX have it's advantages, but one issue that currently is a major questionmark is the future for the Apple enterprise line.
I'd really apreciate feedback regarding what you think will be the future for Apple's enterprise line, will it die slowly or get a new boost with the Intel switch, as I've read that Steve has stated time upon time that Apple is not an enterprise based business. Is it worth investing in Xserve/Xraid hardware or should one steer clear of Apple and choose other enterprise platforms such as Sun products based on Solaris for example.
Thx,
/MysteronUnfortunately, speculation pertaining Apple's future directions and unannounced products are forbidden here, as is discussion of their policies and procedures.
Also, it's hard to really give you a solid answer without knowing more about your particular situation. -

I had to enable KMS
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … Setting.29
and remove my xorg.conf file. -
when I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?
Make sure that '''''Print to File''''' isn't selected in the native print dialog box ''(see screenshot below)'' middle-right, and make sure your Printer is selected at the top of that dialog box.
''I'm a little confused why an email attachment would need to go directly to the printer, but that's what you asked about.'' -
What is the cause for the mac to become slow
what is the cause for the mac to become slow?
Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file. -
I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.
PogoPossum,
My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
Does this help?

There are magazines and newspapers in the store and they say "free" I have been told this will lead to subscription prices down the line is this true
Unless you choose to subscribe to or purchase something, no, you will not get "stung". However, in most cases what you would be downloading is the app for the magazine which may or may not include a sample issue. you would still need purchase issues or subscribe. Some print subscriptions (such as NatGeo, for example) also include a free digital subscription. Read the app descriptions carefully and check out the In-App Purchases section. There are a handful of publications that are completely free (but these are not the rule).

[Solved] Gnome-Shell and separating programs in the program switcher
Hi,
I would like to treat different instances of Emacs as different programs in Super-Tab program switcher in Gnome-Shell (I run mail and music in different instances).
In the overview they show as different programs via .desktop files. But with Super-Tab they always collapse into one program (always with the normal Emacs icon).
Any tips on how to tell gnome that different instances of some program is are to be considered different applications?
Here's an example of a desktop file that I use to start a "specialized" Emacs instance.
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=EMMS
GenericName=Music Player
GenericName[es]=Reproductor de música
Comment=The Emacs Multimedia System.
Exec=emacsclient -s emms -ca '' --eval "(progn (setq x-resource-class \"EMMS\") (emms-smart-browse) )" -F '((title . "EMMS") (icon-type . "/home/rasmus/.local/share/icons/emms.png"))'
Icon=emms
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=AudioVideo;Player;Audio;
Last edited by Pank (2015-05-28 14:35:58)Thanks. Now, I'm calling (p-wm_class "EMMS") from my emms.desktop file now. There's also text under the icon now. Thanks a lot
Here's the defun:
(defun p-wm_class (&optional new-class)
"Return the WM_CLASS for the current window name.
If NEW-CLASS is a string or list of strings, set a new WM_CLASS.
If NEW-CLASS is non-nil remove Emacs from WM_CLASS and
WM_CLASS has more than one value."
(let ((old-class

(search-forward "=" (line-end-position))
(split-string-and-unquote

;; anyway don't know how to set more than one value...

I just wanted to share a few words (and frustrations.) Many moons ago when I was a student in university, I learned how to do basic word processing on Macs that were available to students in the computer lab. These were Mac computer that had been donated by Apple.
Over the past 20 years or so I have been involved in education and I have operated my own company. I have purchased at least 12 or 15 computers over the years. I'm currently using a G5 tower with 2 Gigs of ram.
Much of my business is set up and run using Appleworks. Business letters, faxes, etc. etc. all have company logos and letterhead and all of my customers are in AW databases. I also use the mail merge feature to print some 3,000 envelopes per month.
We have been using OS Tiger for the past year or two and yesterday I purchased a new Imac and I also upgraded my computer to Leopard. Much to my dismay AW is not working in this new OS on my computer. When I print my business letters, the artwork does not appear on the page, the database crashes way too often, and I often get the spinning beachball of death that causes me to sit at my computer and stare at the screen for many wasted minutes. I'm not a geek but I understand that it has something to do with Rosetta and I know that Apple has announced that it will no longer support AW. I guess that this is the end of the line for me as far as AW is concerned. (and yes I have repaired permissions and done other basic maintenance.)
I now have to invest a huge amount of time and energy to re-do all of my business templates in Word or some other word processing software and to set up a new data base system to keep track my customers. I consider myself to be a loyal Apple customer, and after all the money and time I have invested in Apple products, this is a huge let down for me and a gigantic disappointment. It is all so frustrating.
I guess I won't be visiting these forums any more after I convert all of my data and I wanted to thank those that have helped me in the past.
Cheers.
BTW, can anyone recommend a good database program similar to AW?First, let me say that I'm not running Leopard, so I won't be able to help directly in getting your AW working. However I think I can help point you in the right direction. I am confident others will fill in the details.
I'm not a geek but I understand that it [problems with AW] has something to do with Rosetta
Rosetta is what allows programs written for the Power PC to run on Intel processors. It has been used with AppleWorks under both Tiger and Leopard by some people here with no problem.
I know that Apple has announced that it will no longer support AW. I guess that this is the end of the line for me as far as AW is concerned.
It should be possible to get AW to work fine on your current machine and use it for years to come. I would certainly start thinking about how to move off of AW, but it certainly doesn't have to be today (assuming you can get it working now).
BTW, can anyone recommend a good database program similar to AW?
Filemaker has come out with a product "Bento" that is being billed as a simple DB program. It may not be powerful enough for you. Also it won't directly import AW databases. However you can give it a try for free and see what you think:

As per adobe agent chat representative, the following question is posted on the fórum to obtain an answe from adobe.
What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
Thanks
<moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums? -
My midi/audio interface ( Edirol PCR1) will not interface with Yosemite 10.10 and Roland have no driver update, is there any fix for the problem or is the end of the line for this device.
Same problem here, what a shame as this has been my favorite portable keyboard for ages. Whenever I see one in a store(very rarely) I'll grab it.

Can I delete/remove files from my iPhone after importing into LR?
Stoked to be able to pull photos and video from my iPhone via LR and skip iPhoto. But it didn't give me the option to 'move' the photos just to copy them. So now I have them all on my laptop but need to delete them from my iPhone to make more room. D
