[SOLVED] ls -l shows GID rather than group name

Hi Guys,
As the title suggests, ls -l shows GID rather than the group name. (The username is listed correctly). The groups command also shows only GIDs and not the corresponding group names.
I have issued the pwconv, grpconv, pwck and grpck commands and these all run without error.
What am I missing here?
Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much Celf, you were correct, the /etc/group file was only readable by root. The chmod 644 fixed it.
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

Why do episodes of a TV show season appear separately rather than grouped together?

I have a 64GB iPad3 and downloaded the first season of Avatar: the Last Airbender from the iTunes store app on the iPad. After downloading, I went to the video app and saw that each episode was listed by itself rather than grouped together as a season.
Is there a way to fix this? It is very frustrating because I like the feature of the video app that lets you watch episodes one right after the other.
Thanks in advance!

The same thing happens on the iPhone. Apple changed this close to two years ago and I too don't like it. I have 160 music videos, Apple used to goup them by band if there were more than three videos by that band but now they are all listed individually like TV shows do.

Can I Change SEARCH to default as LIST view rather than GROUPS view?

Can I Change SEARCH to default as LIST view rather than GROUPS view?
I always end up doing a command+2 and if I can default this it would be better.
THANKS

Perform a search, click on the List View icon in the Finder window's toolbar, press COMMAND-J to open the View Options dialog, check the box labeled "Always open in list view."

How do I "see" what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image?

How do I ”see” what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image

The "?" in a graphics container box means that the file can't be read, hasn't been downloaded or is simply unavailable.
If you'd tell us where, exactly, you're seeing this icon, we may be able to help. If it's in email, for example, usually all you have to do is select "download pictures" (I use Outlook, so I don't know the Mail equivalent).

In "Save As", display as "Kind" rather than by "Name"

Hi. I have a number of users asking this question. On their Mac, when trying to "Save As", how do they get to sort the contents of the target folder by "Kind" rather than by "Name". The default way results in a muddled display of files and folders. It would be nice to Have all the folders listed, and then the file names. (See below)
In Finder, I have this button,
enabling me to get the desired result.
Thank you.

Hi
Sadly...from Text Editor, I dont.
Click this first (list view):
Sorry, I should have mentioned, the 'save as' is from Word, Excel etc. In Text editor, I see the Kind header, but it is just a lable, not an active column.
It can be done in Excel also.
(You might have to right-click the colm headings and select Kind to have it listed):

TOC based on filenames rather than heading names.

I created a WebHelp project by linking to a FrameMaker 12 book. After first generating the output, the TOC and index were not included although they were part of the book. I click an icon in the TOC pod to generate the TOC, but the TOC is now based on filenames rather than heading names. How can I fix this?

You should be posting over in the FM Integration section – you’ll need to adjust your Conversion settings and force an update to suck in the FM TOC and IX

Since update to 5.0.1 iphone contacts caller id shows email address rather than contact name and number

Since i upgraded to 5.0.1 . My iphone contacts caller id shows email address not contact name and number. Is this a settings issue?

Hi, it's maybe happening the same here!
I have an iphone 3gs. Since I did the upgrade to ios5, when I receive an sms with the notification of a missed call I am no longer able to see if it's coming from a number of my contact list, because in the sms the message correspondence for that contact underlines now the number PLUS the first 2 cifres of the date! So the number results always being 2 numbers longer and it's impossible get to the original.
That's really a major problem for me, as I'm no longer able to know who has called me, if someone I know (and who) or if a new number.
I add a capture to explain it better (I have banned a couple of cifres for privacy reasons).
Anyone solved the problem or can help please?
Thank you!

Sorting contacts on iphone by company rather than individual names

has anyone seen an application that will sort the contacts by company name rather than the individual names?

You can't sort your contacts by anything but name directly on the phone, but a little work on the computer can give a result that might work. I create groups in my contact manager that syncs to the iPhone. I can put people from different businesses in different groups. That way I can choose a specific group to look through, rather than all the contacts. It also works to separate out family and friends, etc. But you can't create the groups on the phone, only on the computer, and then sync them to the phone.

The iPhone comes up with an email address rather than the name after the update

Just updated my iPhone and when I now send a message it shows as my email address rather than name. What's the quick fix for this problem?

You're not being clear...

or email?
Where does it show your email address?

Why is my iPhone called "iPhone" rather than my name ex: Cynthia's iPhone?

I recently had my iPhone 5s replaced and the replacement phone's name is just "iPhone" rather than personalized with my name, such as "Cynthia's iPhone"
As a matter of fact my old defective iPhone 5s was only referred to as "iPhone" also. If anyone knows why this is I would appreciate the help. My old backups (from my old iPhone) are still listed in iTunes and are referred to as Cynthia's iPhone, but new phone is just called iPhone?
Thanks for your help.

JAXB looking for tag type rather than tag name?

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to use JAXB to load an xml file, [http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod.xml|http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod.xml] . The schema is at [http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd|http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd] . I generate my classes using xjc with no problems. My unmarshalling code is simple enough:
try {
    JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] {UnimodT.class});
    Unmarshaller um = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
    return (UnimodT) um.unmarshal(is);
} catch (JAXBException ex) {
}At first I got an exception saying that unimod (the top-level tag) is unexpected and that the expected element is (none). I solved this by adding the @XmlRootElement tag into my UnimodT class. Now I am getting a javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException :
"unexpected element (uri:"http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2", local:"unimod"). Expected elements are <{http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2}unimodT>"
I am guessing this means that it is looking for a <unimodT> tag while the actual tag name is <unimod>.
This is how the xml file starts:
<umod:unimod xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2 http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd" majorVersion="2" minorVersion="0">
    <umod:elements>
          ....and here is the fragment from the xml schema defining the root element:
     <xs:element name="unimod" type="umod:unimod_t">Other guesses I am having are:
1) Maybe I should do something with the namespace, "umod"?
2) The underscore in the type name is confusing xjc?
Please help if you can. I am guessing it is something simple but I have no idea what.

I seem to have solved my problem by adding the namespace and name of the tag on the XmlRootElement annotation:
@XmlRootElement(name="unimod",namespace="http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2")however I still don't understand
1) why it's not enough to specify the name of the tag in the @XmlType annotation
2) why the @XmlRootElement tag was not specified automatically
I guess I should just be happy that it works now.

XL reporter to show zero rather than #Ref for account section with no value

Hi,
Customer is using 2007A PL30. They do not want Profit&Loss and Balance Sheet to show if the account is having zero value.
Eg. Subsection of P&L report
Payroll
Salary                          0.00
Bonus                          0.00
Casula wages               0.00
Total Payroll                 0.00
Office Admin Cost
Courier charges         100.00
License fee               200.00
Total Office Admin     300.00
Total Cost                300.00(0.00+300.00)
Expected result: Do not show anything for Payroll(no figure) but only shows those rows with figure and Total Cost.
After I check the option in XLR\Advanced Report Builder (Do not display blank records), the system cannot display subtotal for Total Cost because Total Payroll is having #Ref. May I know how to overcome this problem?
Regards
Thomas

Hey Thomas
If I understand the issue then you need to resolve this in Excel. If you have these requirements you will need to write VBA code to make this work the way you want.     You can go to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/xlreporter/ and then go to the Files section and search for Method to exclude zeros.

Apple ID iCloud address showing green rather than blue.

I just helped a friend obtain an Apple ID. Subsequently, their new icloud address only shows as green in Messages on my iPhone. From my Mac it shows as Blue as it should be. I am puzzled as what to suggest.

Samsung 19" showing 1360x768 rather than 1440x900 as external.

I purchased a Samsung Model: LNT1954H from Best Buy about a week ago and thought it was going to be able to mirror my 17" resolution at 1440x900 as an external display. As stated on bb's website http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8251296&type=product&productCatego ryId=pcmcat95100050020&id=1169512521005 it supports that size. When I hooked it up the highest resolution I can choose is 1360x768 @ 60hz. Is this normal? I'm considering returning it because I'm really not happy that it has that resolution. Any ideas as to how to get it to that or why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John,
my last post wasn't quite correct.
I have reread the reviews I mentioned earlier and it seems that at the moment there is not one HDTV TV (regardless of what display size), that is displaying more than 1360x768 when connected to a computer.
The conclusion of the review was, that the manufacturers are obvious not willing/capable at the moment to change this.
So waiting to buy or buying a computer monitor, as you said, seems the way to go at the moment.
Have Fun

When waking up my phone it shows 3G rather than WiFi... why?

When I "wake up" my iPhone 4S it always shows 3G for a second or two and then goes back to WiFi.
Is that normal?
How can I fix it?
Thanks!!

iPhone automatically disconnects from WiFi, in sleep mode, to save battery. If you want WiFi to remain persistent, plug the phone into a power source & it will not disconnect from WiFi while in sleep mode.
