To --force-nevra or not?

My zlmmirror process complains about a NEVRA and suggests using --force-nevra. Because of a duplicate package.
I ran it, and it seems to overwrite the package.
But should the --force-nevra switch be part of the default zlmmirror process or just run it like that when it complains about it?
Thanks,
Hein

Hein,
normally there shouldn't be a nevra conflict. From what I think the only way to create packages with different NEVRAs (name, epoch, version, release, and architecture) is when they build the same package with the same version and release more then once. Why this happens, I don't know. But I use the nevra option in all of my default mirror command lines. That saves me time to check the logs and rerun it.

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

How to force JTree to not display the leaves

Hi
Is there anyway to force JTree to not display the "end nodes" so to speak.
What I want is that if a node is a leaf and is not allowed to have children
I do not want the JTree to display them.
I need this to build a component for a custom file system view like Windows Explorer
which contains a tree with folders on the left and and contents of the currently selected( expanded)
folder on the right. But Explorer does not display any files in the left pane, only folders.
So I need to implement the same in my component

Force Artboards to not split pixels?

Is there a way to force artboards to not have locations like 34.334px X 76.5px?
If I have an existing document, add another artboard in a document, I have to punch in coordinates eeach time in order to get it to no split pixels.
Exporting without fixing them doesn't give me precise pixel sizes, which causes havoc when I try to import the graphic for web use.

You could use the "Align to piel grid" setting (in case we're talking about version CS5). But beware of it: it will automatically adjust your paths in order to fit.

How to Force JHS do not generate navigation cases for Groups?

Hello
I have already seen "Overwrite faces-config and navigation rules " property for Group in JhsApp deff .But It does not work .How Force JHS do not generate navigation cases for Groups? and another question is that how can I customize navigation case generation in JheadStart?
Thanks

Hi,
You are right: the navigation rules in the main faces-config file are overwritten, even if you uncheck these flags. Here is the solution:
If you want to preserve some of the navigation rules in the main faces config: alter the velocity template for faces-config. You can only switch off the entire generation of faces-config.xml; not individual parts.
If you want to add a special navigation rule: add it to the group faces config file.
If you want to preserve post-generation changes to the group faces config file: uncheck 'generate controller group?' or put it in the templates for that group.
Note: the flag 'Overwrite Faces-Config beans and Navigation Rules?' has become obsolete, you should only use 'Generate Controller Group?'.

Sometimes, Force quit does not work

With some applications, when I try to stop it, the color wheel is there turning. If I try to go to the Apple logo to force quit the program, nothing happens. The program is stalled and there is nothing I can do to rectify the problem. It has happened with several version of OS X. That looks like a bug in the OS. Has anybody experienced the same problem? Thanks.

You are right. Force shutdown is not an ideal way of shutting down the computer.
Occasionally that may be the only way to get out of the jam.
Here are other ways to Force Quit.

Other than the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your iMac.
Check out: Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball/freezing & crashing and Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball. Not sure if you have tried everything mentioned in these articles. If you have, and no one else can come up w/any suggestions, then it's time to lug your iMac to your local AS or an AASP. Diagnostic testing is FREE!!!

Force legato and note overlap correction doesn't work

in some songs the overlaop correction and the force legato do not work anymore. I have renewed the keycommands for these functions, it doesn't help

Please check this:
Go to Pianoroll / View / uncheck One Track, check Selected Regions.
Now the keycommands Force Legato, Overlap will work.
(Unfortunately now you only can see one region at the same time, to see all regions you have to check One Track again, or select the track in the main window).

There ' is a panel that sayscopy' preparing to duplicate to "desktop". I clicked stop three days and it still trying to stop. Tried to 'force quit' does not show up, looked in activity monitor but i am not sure how it is listed. I am new to the mac world.

Force quit/Restart the Finder.
Then for safety...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Shut it down and when it says to reopen windows disable it

Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar). Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it. Any advice?

Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced. I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar. I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says. Help!

Many thanks. Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally. Thank you. I'll remember the option quit for force quite!

On iphoto my stop import is not working and the force quit does not work either

please help - the stop import and force quit on iphoto both not working. thx!

This happened to me today on the iPad; I put in the password 4 or 5 times. I began to think my account had been hacked. I tried again on my iPhone and it worked first time. Then I tried again on the iPad and same thing—worked first time. Maybe just a temporary glitch in the server?

Cannot close user. 'settings' flash on screen and then disappear. Force Quit does not solve it

Applemac used by members of family. One will not close, although I access via the drop down menu top right to change user. I have tried Force Quit (its stuck on Safari) but even that does not work. I thought I would look at settings, but it flashes up, then disappears. It is my husbands account and I have no idea what he has done!! Would like to be able to see settings and also to close as necessary. Help

Forcing postfix to NOT make MX lookups

I have a the mail sever running well (via server admin) for sending email to external email addresses, however for internal emails it is not returning an error.
On investigation with ethereal I see that postfix sends a standard MX query to the DNS for the internal domain. However none of the ip addresses returned are SMTP servers, they are all DNS or Domain servers. Therefore when postfix tries to connect on port 25 to these it fails with connection refused errors. I know what the correct address of the SMTP server is. Is there a way of forcing postfix to send mails to my internal domain to a known IP address?
I have tried adding lines to /etc/postfix/transport as follows: My internal domain is hpa.org.uk and for example the SMTP server's address is 123.456.789.1. I therefore added the following line to /etc/postfix/transport
hpa.org.uk smtp:[123.456.789.1]
According to postfix documentation Postfix will NOT make an mx lookup if the ip address or servername is enclosed in square brackets. However changing these lines and restarting postfix still makes postfix make MX requests. Is there a setting from the GUI (in a .plist file?) that is overiding the setting in /etc/postfix/transport that according to postfix documentation and responses from the postfix mailing group should work.

Thanks for the info. I spent a good amount of time on their site as well but nothing. These are the only things I could find.

My iPhoto has a constant spinning pinwheel. Even Forced Quit does not fix the problem. Any advice?

My iPhoto has been doing this for the past 4 days. The pinwheel never goes away. I have forced quit countless times and still it does not work. I have looked all over the internet but have yet to find a solution that makes my iPhoto usable again. Can anyone help? Thank you!
A little background: I have a feeling I started the problem as I pulled out my camera's memory stick in a rush before I had ejected it on the iPhoto program.

You tv probably has 2 seperate inputs, DVI and HDMI. You will need one these adapters if you want to connect via HDMI however on a machine as old as yours neither the HDMI or DVI will only output video, not audio.

If you want to use the HDMI you will need:
