User Agent issue - Always defaults to non-Safari user

If I try to access my www.me.com site, I am told I am using an unsupported browser. However, I am using Safari 5.0.3 on a mac running 10.6.5. When this happens, I have to go to Safari Prefs/Advanced and activate the Developer Menu, then choose either Safari 5 on a mac or the top choice, Default. Then it will recognize the browser correctly.
Yet, if I open a new tab or window, the user agent pops back to an old Mozilla string and I again cannot access pages correctly.
Is there a way to force Safari to report itself correctly, or perhaps there are files in the library somewhere that need to be deleted and rewritten by Safari to get out of this loop?
Thanks!

Hi,
on a mac running 10.6.5.
www.me.com site
Update your system software. v10.6.6 is available. Very important to keep your software up to date if you have a MobileMe account.
Click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) Software Update ...
Then repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US 
Restart your Mac then navigate to your .me account.

Printing always defaults landscape in Safari only

Only in Safari, printing always defaults to landscape. My printer is Brother HL-4070CDW series CUPS. It will print portrait, but I have to tell it every time. And selecting a preset that is set up for Portrait does not change the orientation - I have to click the radio button for Portrait mode.
Other applications defaut to portrait.
Anyone else had this problem?

Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist
Click Go then move the com.appl.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Turn off your printer then turn it back on.
Launch Safari and try printing ...
In the Safari print window, make sure Default Settings is selected from the presets pop up menu.

User Agent in FireFox works but not Safari

I am trying to log into whstuart.com/clients but it says it requires Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. This is the only every day task that I can't perform on Safari and would like to not have to use multiple browsers every day. I have been able to log in using FireFox with the User Agent switched to Internet Explorer 7 Windows Vista (downloaded settings from site in User Agent Switcher). I tried using Safari and switching to all the IE user agents but it will not get past the error message. I have tried editing the UserAgents.plist that is in Safari (show package contents) but haven't found anything that works. Any other suggestions?

Hi
If you have the develop menu enabled - you can disable javascript very quickly, or even assign a keyboard shortcut to it - that will get you past the browser test & display the login form - so just maybe... that's the only place they test, and you can re-enable js afterwards?

While launch ad hoc query - always defaulted to user group 10

Hi All,
When I launch ad hoc query, I am always defaulted to particular user group 10. Everytime I have to change it to different user group. So is there any defaulted user group parameter so that when i open ad hoc query, my required user group gets defaulted. I dont want to change manually.
Regards,
kumar

rohit,
just now my client informed that, he is getting same user group, not which he changed from AQB.
Please let me know if there is any other setting....
early reply appreciated..

ConstructorDoc always shows a non default constructor

If the source file has no explicite constructor, the ConstructorDocs of ClassDoc always hold a non default constructor as it seems. If there is an explicite coded constructor, the position of the constructor points to the right position in the file. If there is no constructor in the source, it points to the class declaration. Is this a javadoc bug or has anybody seen this problem before?

I believe, all you need is to check the method: MemberDoc.isSynthetic() It is inherited by ConstructorDoc from the com.sun.javadoc.MemberDoc interface.
This method is provided specifically to know (and filter out when needed) if the member is implicitly synthesized by the compiler.

Is there a way to adjust the default prefs inside (Safari)package contents?

Hello All,
Following another posting re default prefs resetting for Safari each time I reboot out of Windows back into OS X, I got thinking..
Is there a way I can adjust the default prefs inside Safari (the package in App folder) so every time it resets, it will have my desired settings..?

The defaults.plist file in the Safari package will not let you do anything that you can't already do with the user's com.apple.Safari.plist file, so there is no point in changing the defaults.plist file
I think you're misunderstanding the OP
The OP is saying that if they reset Safari, or it loses it's settings (as he referred to in first post) to some issue with XP/Boot Camp then they'd like the default settings used by Safari to be those that got blown away (for whatever reason that may be)
By changing the defaults in Safari they won't have to go through having to set them all up again, as the defaults will now be their preferred setup anyway.
Anyhoo, KingRichard I think you can do it if you really want, but it might make more sense to figure out why your settings keep getting removed

Default/package/none access modifier

Hi,
I was hoping for some discussion on the default/package/none access modifier. It's always really bugged me that we have public, private, protected, and then "none", while it seems to me that it would be less confusing, and more consistent to use the keyword "package", or maybe even "default".
Then, source code would look like
public class MyClass{
    public int getValue() {}
    private void setValue() {}
    protected void someMethod() {}
    package int justForPackage() {}
}I know this concept has come up before, but the books I've read which mention this topic haven't offered any actaul justification/explanation for why there isn't some keyword.
Anyway, are there any insights as to why java is this way, and any reasons why java should or shouldn't be changed to include the package access modifier.

A good example is within a tightly grouped package (usually should be this way) you may have some cooperative classes that access methods.
// one .java file
public class SomeHelper {
   private void method() {
     new ClassForUsers().accessHiddenLogic();
// next .java file in same package
public ClassForUsers {
    /* default-access */ void accessHiddenLogic() {
}But, you may want to allow users to subclass your ClassForUsers, without giving them access to the hidden logic method directly:
// another .java file in a different package
public class UsersSubclass extends ClassForUsers {
    public void userMethod() {
        // can't do this
        accessHiddenLogic();
}This could be for either business logic or security reasons. So, package level access can be very useful. However, I've seen that in practice it is avoided because it isn't obvious what is going on.

CSD + CAD agent software always disconnect

Hi
Good day
Can anyone help for the below issues
CSD + CAD agent software always disconnect ( 10 to 15 times Per hour ) and not recovered automatically and shows CRS failure in CSD.
Connection lost or timeout with UCCX server.(attached)
IPPA always disconnect and shows error (attached).
Cisco Unified CCX Administration System version: 8.5.1.10000-37 -virtualised Esxi 5.0 - Stand alone server - Users on CUCM by LDAP

You are running the baseline version of UCCX 8.5(1) which is a bad idea. There were several nasty bugs in the original 8.5 release. Install 8.5(1)SU4 (8.5.1.11004-25), update the CAD clients and try again. Also check for any firewalls between your phones/CAD and the UCCX server.

Windows CS6 "save as" action always defaults to last save place instead of saving where action is intended to. Please help

Hi all,
I am using CS6 64bit on a Windows 7 Enterprise machine at work. I have used Macs here for years and never had this problem but when I create an action that is designed to "save as" (because I must change the file name) a single file into a specific directory on the network Photoshop always defaults to saving into the last place I saved instead of saving into the place where the action tells it to save to. The action contains 2 saves and then a close and only the first save brings up the dialogue so we can change the name of the file. That dialogue box always contains the last save location instead of the desired location the action is intended to save to. The second save always goes to the correct place and the close works fine.
The only time this does not happen is when Photoshop is first launched. In that case when I click the action it always tries to save into the original folder on the network where I opened the file from.
I have already unchecked the box in preferences for "save as to original folder" and do not know what else to try.
Previously on Macs I have never experienced this issue at all. I have been opening files on my network and saving them to other network directories for years over many different versions of Photoshop on a Mac and not once have I had an issue. Is it a PC thing? Is there something else I can try? I need to deploy these PC's to employees and can not do so unless this action works as we process high volumes of images and do not have the time to navigate manually to each directory we must save in.

Welcome to the club! I hate that but live with it.
When I download from the camera, Photoshop Bridge generates a folder according to the date shot, say 20141212. The images then are 20141212_1 to 20141212_xxx; whatever the final count is from the download. But let's say I rename the image or perhaps have a Photomerge of several frames. Then the connection is lost and Photoshop reverts to the last folder before the current one. So one has to watch to steer that "Save As" to the one you want, in this case 20141212. However, after that occurs, subsequent Saves will go to folder, 20141212. (because it is now the last one)
The principle I follow is that if the folder with the images is new, I am careful with "Save As" if the file I am saving is not directly connected with that folder"s numbering system.

Issues with Filevault, Tiger, Dock & Safari lost pref. settings & iPhoto...

Hope you experts out there can shed some light. Here's a recap-
Nov 05 - we turned on Filevault. Since then, for a month or 2, restarting takes just a few minutes longer and a flashing earth icon appears before the apple spinning wheel. This no longer happens. All seems fine until now.
Since Mon, I started backing up iPhoto library onto CD-R. No problem, though after burning a few CDs, "the drive failed to respond, unable to recover.." a few times, but after shut down & restart, finally ok.
I also noticed Safari settings suddenly went back to default by itself, so rechecked all pref settings; next time mac was restarted, same thing happened except more bad things happened:
A)- All bookmarks disappeared in bookmark menu & bookmark bar.
B)- iPhoto won't run & load pictures.
C)- Dock appeared as "default", all the application icons I previously added are gone!
D)- iMovie icon became a "?" on the dock.
E)- i Sync failed to sync due to "unable to login to .mac"; have a .mac a/c.
So far what I've done with Apple Support:
1- Under a test user, opened "Disk Utility", click "Repair Disk", i.e. the HD, but message appeared "No repairs were necessary". Test user then deleted, log off.
2- Logged back in under my username, dragged the existing dock .plist file to trash. But after rebooting computer using the "control", "apple", "p" & "r" keys simultaneously, nothing is fixed.
3- I've backed up all personal files, documents, and most of iPhoto Library on CD-R.
4- I then performed an "Archive & Reinstall" of the OSX Tiger (http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n107120) , with the box checked for Preserve Users and Network Settings". After installation, I also installed Software Update, but still nothing is fixed, i.e iPhoto won't run, dock is default, bookmarks on Safari are all gone, Backup to iDisk goes on & on for over 5 hrs & so I force quit, some files on iDisk can't be located right now.
5- Today, I followed the article in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25695, created a test user again, pull the .sparseimage file, and "repair disk". It came back "no repairs were necessary". Closed Disk Utility, launched iPhoto, and it worked. I dragged a few pics, did some edits, and it was fine. So this is all good under test user. Does this process tell me the .sparseimage does not need repair and that it's not corrupted..?
6- Logged back under my user, dragged "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" on desktop, deleted cache file, restarted the computer, and launched iPhoto. It's been 6 hrs, and iPhoto is still "loading photos" with spinning wheel.
That said, this whole process really ruled out that it's not an iPhoto problem since it runs under the test user. It just won't work under my user name. Any idea or suggestion of what to do next... ???
Regarding the dock settings, I have removed the old dock plist file, and rebuilt a new dock. So far, logging in & out, restarting the computer did not affect it. Safari Bookmark collections suddenly have all these folders appearing with default bookmarks, weird, not sure why? iSync, half hr ago, started working, since I've set it to sync bookmarks, iCal, Address book, I just saw all my original bookmarks under "Imported IE favorites" in the Collections column, though they are organized quite different. So I assume iSync did it.
Here are some key questions:
1- Cause: Are problems caused by Filevault, or something is wrong with my OS before I did "Archive & Install" ? After archive & install, testing iPhoto under test user, and doint step 5 & 6 above, iPhoto still not load pics after a window appeared to upgrade thumbnails. Could filenames of some photos being long have anything to do with it or could it be other reasons?
2- Filevault failed to turn off after a few trials, with warning msg saying "filevault unable to turn off, unable to recover disk space". I found this article - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25635. But don't know how to solve this problem.
3- iDisk - some files are lost, why?
4- Backup program - won't even backup to iDisk, pending for over 6 hrs, why? When I backup things to iDisk, do files get stored in the "Backup" folder or "Documents" under the iDisk icon in the Finder window ?
5- iMovie icon on dock is now "?", why? But then, I have iMovie HD. FYI - I upgraded to Tiger Apr 05, and iLife'o5 last July.
I hope I make myself clear, so if anyone has any experience or insight with my problems, I'd appreciate so much.
Thanks, Lucien

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It seems that you're problem may be system related rather than iPhoto. I suggest you do the following:
1 - run Disk Utility and Repair disk permissions.
2 - reboot into Safe Mode (hold down the Shift key during the boot process). This will perform the File System Check (fsck). At this time check iPhoto and Safari.
3 - boot back into normal mode. If all is not well the download and reinstall the 10.4.6 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.
4 - If iPhoto is still messed up, use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. It will create a new library and leave your current one untouched. It succeeds where the normal rebuild fails.
My preference is to manually upload my photos to a folder on the HD either thru Image Capture or the Finder with a card reader - with iPhoto closed. Then if there's a crash iPhoto will not damage the AlbumData.xml file that is uses to record all the info on the imported files.

How do I change my default browser from Safari?

How do I change my default browser from Safari?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

Can't be done.

LG enV3 First letter always defaults to lowercase when texting using the inside full keyboard

LG enV3 First letter always defaults to lowercase when texting using the inside full keyboard...yet works fine on outside keypad. I have the settings set up properly on the phone to Abc. Even if I change to all caps, it only affects the outside keypad on front of phone, and not the full inside keyboard when flipped open. SW version is VX920V02. I have tried resetting phone, yet did nothing.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi jjm12345!
Let's look into this! When did the issue begin? When you press shift, does the letter change to uppercase?

IMac Lion login defaults to incorrect Safari home page and emails

When I log into my iMac running Lion, the following programs startup automatically - mail, safari and iTunes. In mail, an old email is always highlighted, always the same one...I want it to default to the newest message. In Safari and bookmarked page always starts up instead of my homepage - I want my home page to start up. And iTunes always starts up and I don't want this to happen.
If I go into my System Preferences -> General, I've unchecked the box "Restore applications ..." but when I exit and go back in, it's rechecked. In my login applications the only application listed is "iTunes Helper."
It appears my login preferences are always defaulting to the incorrect (but always the same) settings for iTunes, Safari, and Mail. Any way to clear this all out?

Preferences may be corrupted...
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Open System Preferences > General
Make sure the box next to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps is deselected.
You may also need to move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash as well then reset your Home page in Safari > Preferences - General.
Same path as the systempreferences.plist

Attachments always default to desktop

I have always ask set for saving attachments, but they still always defaults to desktop. I also have programs set for default open, but even if I right-click on the attachment and click open, it still saves it to the desktop.
This is super annoying, can I fix it?

You are a Mac user, aren't you?;-)
