SUS - not only missing updates, but also hiding some...

Hi *,
i have the same problem with OSX SUS on 10.6.2 as described in several threads within this forum... with some add-on: not only that SUS is missing some of the updates available on Apple's public SUS service, it seems that at least one of the missing updates shows up in an intermitting way.
In Server-Admin / Software Update Service / Updates the package "Final Cut Server Update" V1.5.1 of 11/24/09 does not appear on the list of available updates, unless i press the tiny rescan button which is located just below the list of update package. When i press it, the "Final Cut Server Update" appears immediately on the list. BUT it doesn't show up persistently -> when i switch in Server Admin over to another Service, e.g. SMB, and toggle the scope back to SUS, then all the packages which had been shown before toggling are displayed again, except that "Final Cut Server Update" is missing again.
Really weird behaviour... hope that Apple fixes that soon, SUS is one of the major reason's why i'm running a MacMini Server @ home - i'm sitting with four Macs on a tiny network connect.
Regards, KS

I'm with you on this. Have really tried to get SUS running as I can really see the benefit, including resetting it completely several times.
Thought I had it working, but now realised that even though the latest version of Safari 4.0.4 is downloaded and enabled, clients are reporting they are up to date (They have Safari 4.0.3).
The OS 10.6.2 update downloaded correctly - so why not this?
There are some serious flaws with SUS. Even the way you have to specify the server path is wrong if you ask me. Why can't there be a browse button? Why do you have to remember / look up what the correct filename is for the sucatalog depending on the OS version. Seems rather clunky to me.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.

but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck!

Is the method not only search messages but also paging messages by javamail imap.

I can use SearchTerm and FlagTerm to search messages in ImapFolder.
And I can use follow code to sort messages.
Message[] messages = userFolder.getMessages();
   Arrays.sort(messages, new Comparator<Message>()
   public int compare(Message message1, Message message2)
   int returnValue = 0;
   try
   if (sortCriteria == SORT_SENT_DATE)
returnValue = message1.getSentDate().compareTo(message2.getSentDate());
   } catch (Exception e)
   System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
   if (sortType == SORT_TYPE_DESCENDING)
returnValue = -returnValue;
   return returnValue;
Actually This solution is working fine, but it fails in logic for paging Being a Web based application, i cant expect server to load all messages for every user and sort them (We do have situations >1000 Simultaneous users with mail boxes having > 1000 messages each )
It also does not make sense for the web server to load all, sort them, return just a small part (say 1-20), and on the next request, again load all sort them and return (21-40). Caching possible, but whts the gaurantee user would actually make a request ?
I need a solution that could also work in Search operation (searching with paging), I have built an archietecture to create a SearchTerm but here too i would require paging.

If your mail server supports the IMAP SORT extension, you can use the IMAPFolder.getSortedMessages method to get the list of messages in sorted order. They you only need to fetch the data for the messages in the current page.
If your server doesn't support SORT, you'll need to do what you're currently doing, and use the fetch method to prefetch the data you'll need for the comparison.
Either way, you'll almost certainly want to cache some information in the session to provide consistency from page to page. You only need to update the sort if messages are added or deleted.

In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load 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 boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

How do I share not only my music but also my apps with other users on the same computer?

I've searched around and this one link keeps comming up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
That link only tells me how share with music I want apps and everything else shared between multiple users on the same windows computer.
Thanks.

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

Pick and Pack check Fulfillment% not only by item but also by document

when user set sales order set
Allow Partial Delivery per Row = FALSE
Allow Partial Delivery = FALSE
when Pick and Pack check Fulfillment% set 100-100
i have a sales order which have multi-line . but line 2 item didn't have enough quantity.so this document can not shipping because it do not allow partial delivery.
But in Pick and Pack manager still include some line in picklist which the item line Fulfillment% = 100.
This kind of pick list will very confuse warehouse person.

Sorry, it seems that the responsible people are too busy with other tasks.
I had raised the lacking presence to someone in that area 3 months back - and he confirmed that they need to engage more, but apparently that didn't come true yet to the extent it should.
I'll try again.

This blur below copied from here. I made the text bold for emphasis.
Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support
The following data will migrate from iPhoto to Photos.
Any photos in your iPhoto library that aren't already in Photos are added.
Image adjustments you made in iPhoto are migrated to Photos.
If you applied image adjustments to photos synced to your iOS device from iTunes, a duplicate of each photo will be created in Photos with adjustments applied.
Photos hidden in iPhoto do not appear in the Years, Moments, or Collections views in Photos, but are placed in an album titled Hidden.
Photo Books, Web Journals, and Slideshows are converted into regular albums in Photos. Text and layouts are not preserved.
Only projects created on the device performing the migration will be converted. Projects you synced from other devices to iPhoto via iCloud must be converted from the devices on which they were created.
Photos marked as Favorites in iPhoto are marked as Favorites in Photos.
Tags and captions from iPhoto are not displayed in Photos, but you can use them as search terms and they will show up respectively as Keywords and Titles in Photos search results.
Flags from iPhoto are converted to the keyword Flagged.

I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

Yes. Back up the Library.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

i have mainstage 3 installed and works 1oo% when connected to the battery, but when connecting to the mains for charging the program crashes. sounds do not obey. is one, even very bad horrible latency.
and I need to work on music not only in time but the battery after that.
I ask for help please

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Firefox crashes when I load any youtube video on the latest version, it not only crashes firefox but my whole computer goes blank and I have to restart, why is this?

Backstory: There are two possible events that could be causing this
1: At some point I may have followed a ''Tinyurl' link that consquently lead me to a youtube video, to which youtube worked perfectly fine before hand, and this is where i witnessed the first crash. Theories into whether this link, previously stated, may have done something to my system have been thought about, but the fact that youtube still works on the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer seems to present the idea of a virus or an error redundant. I own the latest Macfee antivirus software and Ccleaner(running the registry check) and have run them complete with disc defragment and scan disc error recovery along with an additional malware scanner. Nothing seems to have come up on anything. After doing all this, my last resort was System restore and this seemed to solve the problem, mainly because i had an earlier version of firefox. therefore i resisted updating for aslong as possible whenever it told me to update. but the otherday i thought i'd risk it again thinking it may have been a problem alot of people have been having and it would of been fixed, but sadly it hasn't. this lead me to google the problem and was advised to start firefox on 'safe mode' as there may have been a confliction between add ons or plugins with youtube or some thing like that, but sadly that hasn't worked either. The plugins i had installed with it were the ones firefox has told me to get, or recommended and the only two addons i had on firefox was Adblock plus (fanboy subscrip) and Noscript.
Details of what actually happens: go to a youtube link, video loads for about 2 seconds(both video and audio), screen freezes, and flashes maybe once with some small lines across the bottom half of the screen horizontally towards the right corner, then the screen goes blank and makes my laptop dorment, but still running, thus I restart my system.
Sadly now when I system restore there isn't a point far back enough before this problem. So its either i downgrade(which seems to be the only option) or simply stop using firefox, as internet explorer works perfectly fine. however running firefox with no scrip and adblock plus is the ideal browser customisation, which is why this is rather annoying.
so number 1 was the tinyurl theory and i must admit i was abit foolish to follow such a random link, but whats happened has happened.
2: basically there is a major disfunction with the latest firefox that has to with the addons i have included onto firefox and this seems to be causing a terrible effect on my system.
in a nutshell: firefox worked perfectly before upgrading to the new firefox and before i followed this link, the rest of my system is completely normal and virus and error free or so it says, Other browsers seem to work also. safe mode does not cure the problem.
Running on a customised Dell laptop, which is pretty midrange-toprange and hasn't been active long, so it has the general HD video card thats included in all Studio 15 Dell laptops.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Movie loads on Firefox but not IE (surprise?), but also not in Safari??

I am a novice, but it's hard to do anything wrong using iWeb. I tried sharing a movie made in iMovie to iWeb on my .mac account. The movie only plays on a Mac (or PC) using Firefox. Both IE (what a surprise! joke...) and Safari will not load the movie. It's 8.2 MB, orig size about 3.2 GB. It's understandable that the movie might not load on IE, but Safari - same Mac used to create the site. Note: it does load in Safari, if I am simultaneously running Firefox and have the page with the movie open and loaded, otherwise it just hangs and shows the big Q for Quicktime, but no movie... Any ideas. PS. When I send the updated site to a folder on my Mac, it works fine, but when I post it to .mac, no go.

Hi there navicin79,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the articles below helpful. The first thing I would try is reinstalling iTunes as outlined in the first article.

IPhoto 11 will not open - needs update, but no update

Hi
My inlaw's have asked me to do a clean install of their Mac. It's been running slow for the last year.
They use iPhoto as their main photo program with 20,000 photos it it.
Have wipe the HD, installed Snow Leopard and updated to 10.6.8, then downloaded Lion and updates.
Afterwards, installed iLife 11 on to the Mac, but it keeps saying it needs to be updated, but there are NO updates.
I don't really want to do another clean install again and install iLife 11 after installing Snow Leopard rather than Lion.
Is there any other way around this?
Thanks again,
Matt

Everytime I hook up my ipod, it syncs not only new music, but only a select few of my older, already synced music

When I connect my ipod to my computer, Itunes automatically launches like I set it up to do. Then, any new music that I've put onto my computer, syncs with my ipod. This is all fine. However, I notice that some of my music seems to sync EVERY TIME I connect. It's the same cds that do it over and over again. My ipod doesn't have duplicate copies as a result, and I dont' see anything duplicating in my library on the computer. So it's not really a problem, but more of a WTH is going on thing. Any suggestions ?

Does it matter?
Frankly there are things a lot more serious to worry about... just accept it and move on.

SUS - not only missing updates, but also hiding some...
