Very basic question regarding drag/drop files in 10.6.5

Just (finally) updated to Snow Leopard and the simple way of dragging a file to the bar (just above the list of items in the folder) so as to move it to that folder no longer works.
I prefer not to drag it to above other files in the folder and hoping that the file won't end up in a folder (which has now happened several times).
There must be a simple-no-brainer way of doing this as there was before in 10.5 and as far back as I can remember (been using Macs since the mid-90's).
Why did Apple decide to change this? Did they find a simpler way that I haven't figured out?
Thanks for any advice.

MacRumors forum answered my question almost immediately... and yes they acknowledged that Apple had changed this in Snow Leopard for no good reason.
On both my Leopard and Snow Leopard systems, you cannot drag a file to the title bar (not the "name bar"). On both systems, you can drag a file to the empty space in a window. I just tested to make sure. So, either your description of the problem is completely and utterly inadequate, you are misunderstanding what was said on MacRumors, or someone on MacRumors doesn't know what they're talking about.
How long have you guys been using Macs?
26 years, like baltwo. As a Mac support professional, programmer, web designer and more. I've forgotten more about Macs than you have ever known, I'm sure. Nobody here is impressed that you have used Macs for a little more than half that time, and your rudeness is most definitely not appreciated.
It's one thing to not give me an answer... no problem, fine, but it is an entirely different thing to say that what I have done for years, and that has worked easily for me, has never worked.
You claim that it changed with Snow Leopard. Clearly, it did not. As I've said, I have both Leopard and Snow Leopard systems and have verified that as fact. Once upon a time you could drag to the title bar, but I honestly don't have any idea when that behavior changed. I'd guess in 10.0, but have no way to verify that at this point.

A very basic question regarding data block

Hi All,
I've a very basic question concerning data blocks in oracle forms 10g.
I want to make a view only screen (only query allowed, no update, insert or delete).
I'll have 6-7 fields on the screen but all the fields are not from a single table.
For e.g, let say we've field names to display on the screen are f1, f2, f3, f4..
Out of this f1 and f2 will come from table A and f3, f4 will come from table B.
Now, my question : Is it possible to create a data block using the data block wizard for such situation if we select create data block from table options?
If no, can you please tell me an approach to do this.
Regards,
Navnit

Hello ,
First write your query & select datablock property.
just change the below properties
Query Data Source Type=From Clause Query
Query Data Source Name = (Paste query here)
now you should add the block ITEMs and give their names according to query columns names. shows the column on canvas and run..
Best Regard

He I have a very basic question regarding reporting of invoice lines and related receiver lines

The documentation shows that receiver transaction id and receiver shipment header and line id should be joined to the same columns in AP invoice lines but these columns are not populated. What is the join for Payables and Purchasing 12.0 and beyond. We are on 12.2.4.
Please advise.

Yes, he does not want redirects because it is POF. Also, redirects don't stay in address bar (at the one I created) - once the screen loads you see the same long URL in address bar. He says I should be able to create another public name for the website (made of forms and reports). Maybe I should go with MOD_REWRITE module? I am reading about it now and they say it's more like renaming then redirecting and I think that's more like what my boss is looking for. Key question: if I use MOD_REWRITE to redirect, would the original (long) URL string be displayed once the first screen loads? I am trying to avoid that. I need users to type http://virtualserver/welcome and to STAY that way in address bar.
Thanks.

Very basic question... can photoshop overwrite the original file?

Very basic question... can Photoshop Elements 13 overwrite the original file?

You will need to check the Photoshop Elements for any particulars about that software.
For Photoshop, if I make changes and exit saving those changes, yes the original is overwritten.
Keep backups at all times and don't work off flash external drives. When people tell me their original 500 layer file got corrupted, and they didn't keep copies, I hate to tell them their weeks of work is down the bucket.
In Photoshop, we use Image > Duplicate to work on a copy if we don't want the original touched, or File > Save as... where we give the file a different name. We save image.psd as image1.psd and image.psd is closed. We then have a copy, "Image1" opened.

Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight. Keeps coming up with the figure zero. I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.

Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive. It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive. My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine. But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
Thanks for any insights.
I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

Unable to double-click or drag/drop files to open.

I'm running Photoshop CC 64 on a Windows 7 64 machine and am only able to open files in Photoshop by going to File->Open. Double-clicking from Explorer doesn't work and i can not drag/drop files into the open application window or taskbar icon. Right clicking on files and selecting "Open with" also doesn't work.
I checked file associations and made sure to choose CC 64. If I right click on the shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator" which I have to do in order to get files to open between Lightroom and Photoshop (both need to be Run As Administrator), I'm still unable to open from Windows Explorer. However, if I check the box to "Run this program as administrator" in the shortcut's Compatibility tab, I can double-click to open from Explorer but am prompted with a UAC warning every time. Dragging/dropping into the open app still doesn't work.
Opening between Bridge and PS works as expected so long as both programs are "Run As Administrator"
Been searching the forums here and seen suggestions of similar but not the same issue, at least not that I've found.
Anyone else experiencing? Suggested remedies?

This is an OS permission problem. Make sure you have ownership of the HD. Do a web search on how to check. External HD can be a problem for permission.

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question. Trying to hold out as long as I can, but purchasing an iPhone for Christmas and new iMac next year when warrently expires.

Thank U very much for the quick reply, I wanted to upgrade this weekend, but still on the fence. I can live with the software that is not compatible, they are on another compuetr, just didn't want the obvious stuff to stop working.

I can't drag/drop files!! HELP :( :(

I can't drag/drop files from one place to another, like across my desktop,i have to cut/copy paste them into another location.
It randomly change as before i could drag/ drop files, etc

OS X will move the file if you hold the command key while you drag and drop.
What happens if duplicate files are found during the move drag and drop. If you release the command key to answer the dialog box that appears, the file will be copied but not moved. If you continue to hold the command key as you click the Replace button, the move action will be completed.
To move files in Finder first press Command+C to copy the selected files, then press Command+Option+V to move the copied files to the current folder.

Very basic questions on text/email

So I'm now convinced - with the 3.0 OS and the 3GS handset, the iPhone finally does all I want it to do and I'll be buying my first one in a couple of weeks.
Before I do, though, I have a couple of very basic questions:
1. Does predictive text only work in the SMS app, or does it work in the apps for email, writing notes, etc?
2. Can you turn the predictive text off? (I find it wildly irritating, because I know far better what words I want to write than a pesky phone does!)
3. Having email sent to a mobile is a whole new world for me! Do I need to subscribe to MobileMe at £££ per month, or is there another way of having email from my three accounts forwarded to my mobile?
Hope someone can help!
Cheers,

1. Does predictive text only work in the SMS app, or does it work in the apps for email, writing notes, etc?
It works with Safari, the Mail client, the Notes app, and with the SMS app.
2. Can you turn the predictive text off? (I find it wildly irritating, because I know far better what words I want to write than a pesky phone does!)
Yes.
3. Having email sent to a mobile is a whole new world for me! Do I need to subscribe to MobileMe at £££ per month, or is there another way of having email from my three accounts forwarded to my mobile?
You can access any IMAP or POP account with the iPhone's Mail client, and access multiple email accounts. I currently access to email accounts with the iPhone's mail client - my MobileMe account, and a business POP account. You can access all 3 of your email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client.

Basic question about importing wma files

Hi, I have a basic question about importing wma files. I ripped some cd's on a Mindows computer using Media Player, but now want to copy them to my Mac and use them in iTunes on my Mac. when I use Import in iTunes, nothing happens and I cant even seem to copy them one by one using the Music folder.
Can someone help me?
thanks
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.4)

iTunes for Mac doesn't support .wma files.
If you can use a PC to convert them, you can use one of many freeware applications. Google for 'wma to mp3'.
For the Mac there's the shareware program EasyWMA that can convert them.
Hope this helps.

Entities not showing Contribution - very basic question

Hi guys,
Apologies for this very basic question - I'm very new to Hyperion, with just a weeks training! Anyway I'm building a basic model and have noticed that in the Value dimension my entities are not rolling up to the [Contribution Total]. This means that Entities do not roll up!!
One suggested issue was that I needed a Sub Consolidate in the Rules, however I've set the attribute "ConsolidationRules" to be = to N. In the documentation this is defined as "N to use the default consolidation and eliminations."
Wondering is there anything else that is needed to use default consolidations, or do I need to create some Rules??
Thanks
G

Why do you think it is not rolling up? If your Consoldiation Rules are set to 'N' you do not need rules.
Make sure your accounts are set to IsConsoldiate. Make sure you are viewing a 'Parent.Child' at Contribution Total.

Having trouble dragging/dropping files from my MacAir to a shared drive window, when I try to drag/drop gets bounced out. Can anyone help with advice on how to drag/drop or otherwise copy files to a shared drive? thanks in advance

I am having trouble dragging/dropping or otherwise copying files from my MacAir to a window for a shared drive.
When I try to drag/drop, files get bounced out.
Anyone know how to drag/drop in such a case, or otherwise copy files from MacAir to a shared drive (which I do not believe is on a Mac, not sure if that matters).
Any help much appreciated, thanks in advance

One very basic doubt regarding J2EE

Hi Java Gurus
I want to clarify one very basic point regarding J2EE. As per to my understanding a J2EE is a 3 tier system, proposed by Sun for dvelopment and deployment of component based distributed applications. A J2EE based system requires application server as a middle tier, where business logic runs. So far so good.
Suppose i have a system which uses only JSPs and/or Servlets (No more EJBs and Application server). This system is also 3 tier system,(Client tier, Web-Server Tier and DB tier). In this case there is Web Server and no Application Server. So my doubt here is===== Can I call this as a J2EE based solution. (Assuming both the systems are performing the same task).??
Plz help.
Thanx
Jam

A bit of elaboration and clarification. (AKA, the long answer)
The "3-tier" phrase should avoid any technological implication, thus be defined as Presentation Tier, Business Tier, Data Tier. It's meant to convey the clear separation of responsibility. A JSP/Servlet/DAO system, could constitute a 3-tier system, if applied correctly.
The J2EE platform encompases a number of technologies, JSP, Servlet, EJB, etc.
A J2EE compliant application server (i.e. JBoss) supports all the features of J2EE
A Servlet engine (i.e. Tomcat) only supports a sub-set of those technologies, thus it would not correctly be called a J2EE app server.
Calling something a "J2EE Application" really doesn't mean much, since many projects don't use every piece of J2EE technology available. Though I will agree that use of EJB is a key indicator. If it makes some manager feel better to call a JSP/Servlet app a "J2EE Application", fine.
Calling yourself (not you, just the general "you") a J2EE developer, should mean you have experience with developing the breadth of J2EE, so having hacked out some JSPs doesn't count :)
