    I've MacBook Pro 2009 model... from last few days my airport is not functional. This happened when I deleted plist of com.apple..... from systems folder from library-> preference->system. Now, when you check the status of Airport hardware it says "Not Associated".  One more thing that came to my notice is that 'com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist' this file is missing from system folder. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply......
    I have tried using different OS 10.7, 10.8... further OS doesn't suit my MacBook, so currently I am on 10.6. I did reinstallation twice using 10.6 but the files were not restored.
    Yes.. I am talking about internet wireless card.
    I don't have back up files for files which i deleted and they are not in trash as well.... the reason I deleted files was from the image attached from OSXdaily.com
    I have tried resetting the PRAM, NVRAM, SMC but to no use.
    now what do I do.??

  • Extract folder from Path

    I'm working on a project that looks for what folder a file is in before determining what function to run.  Currently, I'm using var pathname = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.path.name); to extract the immediate folder that the file is located in, but in some instances I need to get the name of a folder back from that one.  For example, it currently gets C:\Texture Sets\Library 1\Large Format and returns the folder "Large Format" to the pathname variable since the file I'm working with is in that folder.  What I need is a way for it to check for "Library 1" in that same path using the same file.  Thanks for any help!
    dgolberg

    You can use...
    var parentFolder = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.parent.parent.name);
    alert(parentFolder);

  • Windows folder settings before installation

    Hello,
    have been trying to install itunes, but as I do so and before I am given the option as to where to save the software, my computer automatically tries to save on a network drive.
    The computer is a work PC and I wish to save on the c: drive.
    Any ideas?

    hmmmmm. are your other program files also stored on that network drive? (wondering here if you're running into a group policy set up by your IT folks.)

    OS X is all about keyboard shortcuts.
    To cut       cmd+x
    To copy     cmd+c
    To paste    cmd+v
    With the Mouse, hold command and drag to your destination.

  • My company blocks executables from running in the Temp folder. How can I install Firefox without it trying to run download.exe from a temp folder?

    I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
    I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
    Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Full installers can always be downloaded here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    I am assuming you went to this page:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    I notice the page has changed a little from the last time I saw it, but you can reach the first link I posted by clicking "Systems & Languages".

  • Not able to run a program to extract news from news channel websites.

    Let me start with stating the fact that I am a super greenhorn, so please be ultra elaborate with the answers .
    This is my code, I copied it from Mr. Alvin Alexander (http://alvinalexander.com/java/edu/pj/pj010011?). I am trying to use it to extract news from news channel websites.
    I used the following URLs:
    1.http://in.reuters.com/

      u = new URL("http://200.210.220.1:8080/index.html");
      // Step 3: Open an input stream from the url. //
      is = u.openStream(); // throws an IOException
      // Step 4: //
      // Convert the InputStream to a buffered DataInputStream. //
      // Buffering the stream makes the reading faster; the //
      // readLine() method of the DataInputStream makes the reading //
      // easier. //
      dis = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(is));
      // Step 5: //
      // Now just read each record of the input stream, and print //

      while ((s = dis.readLine()) != null) {

    Also, when I try a local server URL, the output screen goes blank, which I guess is due to lack of Text on the local URL. So, the little research that I did, made me believe that the code not running on external server was due to firewall on the server side. Please help me run it. Also : I work on a proxy network.( if that has something to do with this).
    P.S : Advanced gratitude for any assistance.

    any decently secured server would reject such a blatant attempt to steal its content.

  • HT4914 I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

    I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

    Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
    Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
    Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
    A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
    7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
    you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
    When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
    If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

  • Trying to update to iTunes 10.4.1 and I get a message "A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:|Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi"  Running WIndows 7 with all updates done.  I  have never had an issue with iTunes updating before.  Anyo

    iTunes has tried to update itself and runs into an error and tells me to manually install.  When I d/l and run the iTunesSetup.exe file I always encounter the following error message...
    "A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C;|Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi" and iTunes does not update to iTunes 10.4.1.
    Anyone know what is creating this error message?  Thanks for the help...

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page): 
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Many thanks

    Hi Foreverduy,
    Before you run SQL Server 2008 express setup, make sure that you have installed Windows installer 4.5 and.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 manually. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.100).aspx. Moreover, please turn off all the third-party softwares which could prohibit the installation process.
    According to your error message, the issue could be due to that your account has no rights to install SQL Server, or the corruption on the media.
    Firstly, please ensure that your account has admin rights. Also make sure that you right-click the setup.exe and choose “Run as administrator” to complete the installation.
    Secondly, please check if "msdbdata.mdf" file exists at d:\8268cd7b247d294de359c9\x86\setup\sql_engine_core_inst_msi\PFiles\SqlServr\MSSQL.X\MSSQL\Binn\Template. If it exists, please make sure that your account has read permission to the extracted
    folder.
    However, if the file doesn't exist in the extraction, the media could be corrupt. Please download the
    media
    again and check if the issue still occurs.
    Regards,
    Michelle Li

  • Transferring home folder from Tiger 4.11 into a MacBook Pro  w/ Leopard

    I just got word that my PB Aluminum 1.67 that was to be repaired via Apple is now
    going to be upgraded to a Apple MacBook Pro
    First of I'm (happily) shocked by this offer, and now I begin a new realm into intel technology
    MacBook Pro, and now... Leopard! Which I didn't want to install on my Aluminum PB I went only
    as far as Tiger 4.11.
    My inquiry is on transferring my back up home folder from the Aluminum Tiger 4.11 to the MacBook
    Pro using Leopard.
    Is that at all possible so I can restore my passwords, etc..into Leopard.
    I also have PhotoShop 6 and Microsoft X software, would this be a problem installing or using
    in the MacBook Pro?
    Just concern about software compatibility with this upgrade.
    appreciate feedback.. Aimee

    Check with the third-party software vendor to find out if there are any compatibility issues or if you will need to upgrade. Older software may be PPC-only. They will run on an Intel Mac through the Rosetta emulator, but upgrading to a Universal Binary version would be the better course of action.

    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
    Basically the instructions you should follow are:
    1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft

    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

    Generally, there should not be any migrating problems between the Intel versions of Tiger and Leopard other than third-party software may require upgrading for compatibility.

  • Which is better? Extracting images from directories or from database?

    Good day,
    I would like to start a discussion on extracting image (binary data) from a relational database. Although some might say that extracting image from directories is a better approach, I m still sceptic on that implementation.
    My argument towards this is based on the reasonings below:
    1. Easier maintainence. - System Administrator can do backup from one place which is the database.
    2. High level of security - can anyone tell me how easy it is to hack into a database server?
    3. image is not dependent on file structure - no more worries about broken links because some one might mistakenly change the directory structure. If there needs to be a change, it will be handle efficiently by the database server.
    The intention of my question is to find out :
    1. Why is taking image from a directory folder which resides on the web server is better than using the same approach from the database?
    2. How is this approach (taking image from directory) scalable if there is thousands of images and text that needs to be served?
    If anybody would be kind enough to reply, I would be most grateful.
    Thank You.
    Regards
    hatta

    Databases are typically more oriented towards text and number content than binary content, I believe. If you carry images in the database you will need to run them through your code and through your java server before they are displayed. If they are held in a directory they will be called from hrefs in the produced page, which means that they are served by your static server. This is quicker because no processing of the image is required. It also means the Database has to handle massively less data. Depending on the database this should be far quicker to query.
    It is worth noting that it is also quite difficult to actually change mime-types on a page to display a picture in the midst of HTML- the number of enquiries on these pages about this topic should be enough to illustrate this.
    If you give over controls of all the image file handling to your java system (which I do when I write sites like the one you describe) then the actual program knows where to put the images and automatically adds them to the database. The system administrator never needs to touch them. If they want a backup they save the database and the website directory. The second of those should be a standard administrative task anyway, so there is not a huge difference there. The danger of someone accidentally changing the directory structure is no greater than the danger of someone accidentally dropping a database table- it can be minimised by making sure your administrators are competent. Directory structures can be changed back, dropped tables are gone.
    The security claim is slightly negated because you still have to run a webserver. Every program you run on your server is vulnerable to attack but if you are serving web pages you will have a server program that is faster than a database for image handling. You are far more at risk from running FTP or Telnet on your server or (worst of all) trying to maintain IIS.
    The images in directory structure is more scalable because very large databases are more likely to become unstable and carrying a 50k image in every image field rather than 2 bytes of text will make the database roughly 25000 times larger. I have already mentioned the difference in serving methods which stands in favour of recycling images. A static site will be faster than a dynamic site of equivalent size, so where you can, take advantage of that.

  • Moving a folder from iPhoto

    I want to know how to permanently move a folder from iPhoto to my Time Machine, while retaining easy access to that folder. I'm looking to free up some space on my hard drive. I have a MacBook Pro with 4 GB RAM and 320 GB hard drive and we're running to Yosemite operating system.

    Hi dhowiejr,
    It sounds like you want to manually backup your folder.

    Other disks
    If you have a second hard disk, you can back up files by copying them from one disk to the other. To save space, compress an item before copying it to a backup disk by selecting it, then choosing File > Compress.
