[SOLVED]Sudo update messed some stuff up.

So, sudo was updated a while ago now, but since it was, a program that is called with sudo uses its default config instead of the one in my home directory.
But, if I use su to log in as root and then launch a program, it uses the correct config! What's the deal? Sudo did not behave that way before. I am even using a fresh sudoers file now to see if that was the problem.

Have you taken a read through the new sudoers file? Specifically the part just before 'Defaults env_keep += "HOME"'. Looks like the default behavior was changed due to potential privilege escalation.

I've just imported a CD to my laptop. On copying it to my iPhone, iTunes copied over some stuff I didn't want on my phone, messed up all my playlists

I've just imported a CD to my laptop. On copying it to my iPhone, iTunes copied over some stuff I didn't want on my phone, messed up all my playlists. Any ideas anyone?

Hi there, thanks for your reply. iTunes has been working fine up until now! I've got the box - Manually Manage Music & Video ticked as I prefer to drag & drop what I want to put on my phone. Nothing has changed recently - same phone, same PC, same iTunes library, all software up to date! Can't understand why it would change the album artwork around!!
P.S. Love Madrid - out there a often as possible!!

Updates to some APPs do not appear in my iTunes

In my iphone 4 iOS 7.0.4 tells me that there are updates for some APPs, but there is nothing in iTunes. For example on my iPhone I have a notice that there are 3 application upgrade. When I open iTunes on my iMac, nothing appears when I select the button "Check for Updates" I get a warning that says "There are no updates available for any of the apps in you iTunes library."

YES!!!! I found a solution that worked for me
On my iMac I have 566 APPs with one Apple ID and 9 of these APPs are from another Apple ID I have to. I started to check each APP information, to detect which once of the APPs was purchased from each ID. While revising the APPs I started to download directly to my iPhone 4 iOS 7.0.4 (not using iTunes) once APP which was removed a few weeks ago. After downloading the APP on my iPhone, opened it and use for a few minutes.
After locating the APPs that had bought using another Apple ID, I deleted 3 which no longer wanted, but the other 6 did not know to do that if I use, well my kids (they are games).
Out of curiosity I decided to press the button "UPDATES" in my iTunes and SURPRISE!!! appeared 13 APPs that need to be updated.
I already did a sync between my iPhone and iTunes and everything is working perfectly, as several days hago.
My theory is: Some of the APPs that I deleted, needed to be updated and when I tried to check for updates, there was some kind of conflict that made the iTunes says "There are no updates available for any of the apps in your iTunes library", then deleting the APP, the problem was solved.

Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed...

Hello,
I have a legacy application written in VB6 and using Oracle OLEDB Provider (version 9 and updated to the last ones from oracle site)
I've a problem during insert of a record using recordset method (AddNew).
The returned message is "Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed since it was last read. "
I know that problem is caused by a Before Insert trigger that I CANNOT change.
Trigger does not change any primary key values !!!. It put only some default values on other not rilevant columns.
I tried to use the recordset Property option "Update Criteria" = adCriteriaKey without success !
I had same problem with SQL Server but i solved putting into the trigger SET NOCOUNT ON.
I think problem is related to the fact that ADO tries to calculate number of affected rows and for doing that it use a where clause built on the changed columns but using values it had on the client.
Other important info:
Cursor = adUseClient (and i cannot adUseServer)
Provider= MSDAORA (version 9.2...)
Oracle server = 9.1
Trigger causing problem = BEFORE INSERT (for each row)
Thanks in advance

7.0.2 update messed up my wifi

7.0.2 update messed up my wifi how can I fix this? Or will I have to wait for new update?

Just went through this, last night. It's a pain. I figured it out, by myself, since apple support told me it's not their problem.
First, search your computer for music files. Hopefully, they are still in Media Player.
When search ends, click 'select all' in 'file' dropdown.
In 'edit', select copy to folder.
Then, you have to dig and find the itunes folder. Click that.
It should start showing the files flying from left to right. If it does, you're home free.
The files from media player are in WMA format. They have to be converted to itunes format. itunes should tell you this.
Click 'yes to all'. it will begin converting them and loading them into itunes. If you have alot of GBs, it can take a while. Be patient and watch the progress.
I'm not PC scientist, or network person, but I figured this out, while apple support couldn't. Yay, for me.
My stuff works OK, now. I'll stick around, though, and try to help others with this very frustrating problem with itunes. I really feel bad for all the innocent children (and their poor parents), staring at their new Christmas present that does not work.
Good luck.

I recently bought this 27 " iMac used and he restored and whipped everything off of it. So i went to buy some stuff from apple store and it asked me to created apple id which i did. when i went to get the ilife items such as garage band iphot iMovie the button said accept. when i clicked it. it said the following ..
These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
Please let me know what to do to fix this issue and be able to purchase ilife 11 for this computer

Hi Lance ...
You can only re download the iLife apps using the same Apple ID they were purchased with.

TS4009 My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff. Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not? I have done all I can but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.

My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff. Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not? I'm just not sure what I really should back up each night and what doesn't really matter. I know my photo's should back up, but other than that, I'm not really sure.
I have taken some pics off and videos and appt, but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud. I'm starting to wonder if its a glitch with my personal phone. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Only you can decide what's critical to back up. One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your backup in settings.
You might try going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll), then look at the size of your next backup. If it doesn't go down significantly, something else is wrong.

I can't connect to my MacBook becaus it won't boot. Then my iPad says I need to delete some stuff to be able to download any.thing. I know I have room but is it possible to delete without connecting?

I can't connect to my MacBook because I can't get THAT to start. It just sits in it's blue screen With the apple, spinning it's gear. All this happened after I used mackeeper. If anyone can help with that, I'd appreciate it. I've tried starting in safe mode,resetting everything but nothing happens. It's not the kernel, ive delt with that it looks like it's going to boot but it won't. Then there's my iPad which says I need to delete some stuff to be able to download anything. I know I have room on there but there are 2copies of a movie and I'd like to delete one of them. Is it possible to delete anything on the ipad without connecting to MacBook? I do have an appt later in the week but if I could fix this myself that would save me a couple hours driving time. Thanks for anyone's help in both of these matters.

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

Did you format the external disk on Windows? If you did this, probably the external disk is formatted in NTFS. OS X can't write on this format, so it's normal that it doesn't allow you to copy the files.
In this case, you have three possibilities:
1. Install Paragon NTFS. This program allows you to write on NTFS partitions.
2. Copy the hard drive content to your internal disk and format the external disk with Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do it only if you are going to use the external disk only with OS X.
3. The same as the last one but formatting it with exFAT. This filesystem is compatible with Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8) and OS X (10.6.5 and newer), so you can write and read files on external disks formatted with it on Windows and OS X, but you may have problems on Linux

after lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

I've had a similar problem. On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4, Firefox would not open. Crashed every time. Safari was not affected. I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago.
Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

I just upgraded to the 5S now I have random music on my phone, some stuff I've never head of, some stuff that is on my computer but I don't have it selected to sync onto my phone. How do I delete these songs? I haven't hooked it up to my computer. iTunes matches has never been turned on and I did turn off the Show all Music option. Some songs have the option to slide from right to left to bring up the delete button but not the ones I want to delete! I want them gone please help! I really don't want/need carni music from my daughters 4th bday party on my phone!! If anyone has a solution that does not involve me plugging into my computer that'd be awesome....
