User account issues in school please help urgent
currently have 15 emacs on school network running 10.3.9 and the rest are windows machines the macs are standalone machines yet have the same logins for each. The issue is with setting up accounts for the students I dont want to use simple finder as the account type i want to use managed but the problem with that is students can select go connect to server and they can access all the servers on the network is there anyway of greying that out or getting rid of them being able to do that please help as this is urgent as students are in the process of doing coursework
Hi Craig
When you say you want to stop...
them being able to look at the computers on the network
is ambiguous.
I am presuming you are not concerned about students accessing other computers on the network, as there are ways of preventing that, but you simply do not want them to be aware of any machines on the network.
Using Simple Finder which presents a limited Finder menu without the Connect to Server showing will achieve this, but you say you don't want to do this.
Elements of the Finder menu cannot be turned on and off with Terminal. Terminal can modify network settings but it cannot as far as I know disable a menu item in the Finder. If that was effected, it would be called a hack.
I don't see a how to be networked and be blind to the network at the same time. Perhaps others may have a creative solution for you.

Cannot acces any user account after update. Please HELP!
Hi.
Two days ago I updated my Macbook Pro to the latest version using the "Software Update" utility. It restarted and I just shut it down.
Yesterday I attempted to log to my account and I realized that it's not possible. No matter the account I try it:
1. Asks for a password (Enter password correctly).
2. A gray screen appears for one or two seconds as if it's loading the session.
3. It comes back to the accounts screen.
After many tries then I entered to the Recovery utilities ( Command + R on boot). I analized the disk and it's fine, no errors on it. So I decided to reinstall OS X
Lion again to see if it solved the problem but I simply could not achieve that.
When I try to re-install it starts to download some components and after few minutes of download it states that it cannot download these components.
I thought it was a problem with my wireless network so I plugged an ethernet cable to the mac but the same error still happens after one minute or two.
Note: I checked my network with other devices and it's working fine.
It's very frustrating not being able to enter my account but it's more the fact of cannot solve it because now the recovery components must be downloaded from internet but these components actually can't be downloaded.
I'll appreciate any suggestion. I'll take my mac to the Apple customer service but I expect they don't charge me for the repair since obviously it's a software error generated for the update Apple sent.
Thanks and regards.Hi again.
It's been almost 20 days since I got this problem. I have the following updates:
1. After some days of service the support guys gave me back my macbook with a new install of Lion in version 10.7.2. It looked fine and I was able to log the accounts.
2. Since I needed iPhoto and the AppStore doesn't allow you to download it until you upgrade to 10.7.3 I did that. Restarted after the upgrade, nothing wrong but next day suddenly... the same problem: unable to log any account.
3. Brought my macbook again with the support guys and told them what happened. This time they took more time than the previous. They said that they were testing the OS on version 10.7.2; because last time thy were unable to test if the computer was actually working properly.
4. Five days ago I got my computer back again and the support service guy asked me to test and use it in 10.7.2 without upgrading for some days and make sure that it was an error on 10.7.3. I told him that it was very annoying to get the same error again and staying without computer for almost 2 weeks and told him that if there was a possibility of getting a new computer if the error came again, but looked like he didn't liked much the idea.
5. Just two days it took to get the same problem again; even without upgrading. I really don't know what would be the issue, since the OS has been reinstalled twice. I'm really desperated; I bought a mac to avoid problems and I'm getting the oterwise. I will ask the service guy to replace my computer with another but I think he will refuse and try to repair it AGAIN. I have almost 20 days without computer, and I really depend on it to do some conferences and remote work; I have been requesting a borrowed laptop in the meantime.
Do you think I have the right of asking a new computer instead of wasting more time with temporary fixes? Could I get an approval of an Apple representative in order to show the approval to the support service guys and get another computer?
Hope someone could guide me on what to do.
Thanks in advance for reading this long post. -

Please Help Urgently to refresh the report on the change in data
We want to refresh report at runtime for the Drill Down report if any user changes the Data. We changes the data from the form which is called from the report and we want to this effect on the report on the prompt.
Is there any method to close the report while it is in the queue of Background Engine? Can we refresh the report ? Please help urgently.
Thanks in Advance.Pritesh,
Reports goes out to the database and fetches the data (not a snapshot) and returns the information, formats it and displays it. The only way to refresh, is to rerun the report.
If your are running from the server, you need to make sure you are not fetching from cache (you determine this from destype and set the life of the cache in the servername.ora file).
I am unaware of any way to programatically close the report once displayed. The user must take action to close the report (unless you call the operating system to kill the display). When you rerun the report from Oracle Forms, you will get fresh data.

belurHi Swaroopba,
It can be very well done thru Form based Authentication.
For eg let me explain with respect to Tomcat.
Go to
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/examples/WEB-INF directory.
Please add the following code in it.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Protected Area </web-resource-name>
<!-- Define the context URL's to be protected -->
<url-pattern>/jsp/security/protected</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
</security-constraint>
Please add the following code in it. And you have to specify the roles for it.
I hope this will be helpful for you.
Or if you want it in an application, please let me know.
Thanks

I bought an iphone 5 from apple store in Geneva to use in Turkey. But it is sim-locked. What can I do now. Please help urgently.
Return it to the store where you purchased & get your money back. Either that, or call the store. No one here can help you, as there is no one from Apple here.

Hi everyone, I�m having problems with Java Mail, I have just installed it along with the java activation framework, they are located in the following directories:
JavaMail: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\javamail-1_2[1]
Java activation framework: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\jaf1_0_1[1]
I have the classpath set as: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\mail.jar;C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\activation.jar
When I try to compile the sample code provided with these packages, msgsend.java using Jbuilder 2 I get the following errors:
Error (36): cannot access directory javax\mail.
Error (37): cannot access directory javax\mail\internet.
Error (209): class message not found in class msgsend.

If I try to use another Java package to compile it I get even more errors (52), I cannot compile it by using the Javac command line compiler, it just says �Bad command or file name�.
Can anyone tell me Why this is happening and how I might be able to fix it please, I need to start learning Java Mail quickly but at the moment I can�t even begin to do this until I can understand how to get this sample code to work.
Thanks Everyone
NoelFirst of all... don't post with topics like "Please Help - Urgent". The topic is supposed to reflect what the question is about.
Secondly... think for a second. If mail.jar is in C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\javamail-1_2[1]... why are you with your classpath saying that mail.jar is in C:\jdk1.3.1\lib ?
You classpath is supposed to point directly at you jar-files.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
