Weird file got added in Login Items after 10.5.8 Update

Hi,
I finally got a chance to apply Leopard 10.5.8 combo update to my MacBook. After the update was done, the system was restarted, and I saw Safari was bouncing at startup. The page Safari opened was one of the help file pages in iTunes with Russian. I immediately opened the System Preferences and check Login Items in Accounts, and I found the a new entry in the list (I don't remember the exact path, but it should be pretty close):
local://Applications/iTunes/contents/resources/ru_proj/help/pgs/15375.html
I was afraid that my machine might be infected by some virus or malware, of course I removed the entry right away, and wipe out the disk and restore my backup.
Has anyone seen this weird problem after applying the combo update? Your help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Don

Thanks for the response!
I am sure I did not put it in there, so why the installer put that page in the list is a mystery then (especially a Russian page, and I don't use iTunes on this machine either). I am still worried if there was a virus on my machine.

Script for adding a login item for all accounts in the system

Hi,
Thanks for reading this query. I am new to the mac environment. I have developed a java application and created an installer of this application for MAC system.I want to run this application on starting the system. So I have written an apple script for adding this application in login items and this script will run immediately after completing installation process. And the entire process is fine. But the problem is, the application is added to login items of only the user who installed the application. But I want to get available the application in the login list of all accounts created in the system. How can I achieve this? Once more thanks in advance. I am attaching my script below:
+*tell application "System Events"*+
+* make login item at end with properties {path:"/Applications/MyApplication.app", hidden:true}*+
+*end tell*+

Hi,

Is there a way to tell when an app was added to login items?

Is there a way to tell the exact date when an app was added to login items? (eg. through terminal or console?).
TIA

No. Login items are created when you add an app through
 > System Prefs > Users & Groups | Login Items
and is a list specifically used for running and app on login to a particular users account (not boot in general). At least AFAIK, this has nothing to do with installing the app to the system.
I'm writing a bash diagnostic script which needs to call this info.

Losing some Login Items after upgrading to 10.6.7

I'm pretty sure this wasn't happening until after the 10.6.7 update (I installed the Combo version). When I restart, several (actually most) of my Login Items are gone from my Login item list. I went through the process of restoring them all, and they persisted for a couple of restarts, but now it just happened again. Any ideas? I'm going to trash the plist file and start fresh and see if that helps.

Which startup items? Are they all compatible with 10.6.7? If any are also in the Dock, right click on the application/Options - select "Open at Login."

Mail added as login item...

Hi everyone!
I have Mail.app added to my login items and the hidden box is checked. But when I start my computer Mail always launches but the main window shows as well instead of being hidden. The hidden feature seems to work well with every other app besides Mail...any ideas?
Thanks,
Reg

This functionality has been broken for nearly three years (since mid-2006). I remember thinking it was only a temporary bug in Tiger and I remember hoping they would fix it in Leopard. Now I'm holding out for Snow Leopard...
Anyway, you might want to try "Launch and Hide Mail." It's a touch more elegant than the standard Applescript because it doesn't appear in your dock during login.

Custom SharePoint 2010 designer page throws "The data source control failed to execute the insert command" exception while adding the new item after the August 13, 2013 CU has installed

We have the SharePoint Server 2010 with SP1 environment on which the custom SP2010 designer pages were working as expected before the

While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.
<SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="Esittaja" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Esittaja')}"
/>
Explanation:
DataBind operation type parameters (the first parameter) are listed below:
'i' stands for INSERT,
'u' stands for UPDATE,
'd' stands for DELETE.

Preventing help files being added to start menu after installing an application in windows 8.1 enterprise

Hi Guys
when we install an Application in windows 8 family, we see that in addition of Application executable file, user manuals (.chm) and PDF & other files related to that App are added to start menu (when we click down Arrow which shows all programs) and
so the start menu gets quit messy.
is there any settings to make only applications executable file be added to start menu & prevent other types of files related to that App being added here?
thanks in advanced

Hi John,
This issue is related to the programs package we installed.
• An installation package contains all of the information that the Windows Installer requires to install or uninstall an application or product and to run the setup user interface.
• The developer can specify installation context, and based on these properties, Windows Installer automatically redirects the values of folder properties and registrations to locations.
• The shortcut is added to the profile by these context
We could right click these file and could find out they are the shortcut mentioned above.
For more information about Windows Installer, please refer to the following article.

Duplicate iCal Items after 10.6.3 Update

After the latest software update to Mac OS X (10.6.3), I get duplicate items for everything in iCal (birthdays, holidays, events, etc). Anyone else having this problem and how do I delete all of the duplicates?

Days like this really make me question whether the Mac is indeed superior to Windows.
I've spent the last 4 hours recovering my calendars from this sync catastrophe. I keep about a dozen calendars in iCal (some are my own, others are subscriptions, a couple are CalDAV two-way links with Google Calendar). All of the calendars were replicated multiple times in iCal and on MobileMe - I had in excess of 150 items in my calendars list.
Some comments on how I've restored things so that hopefully others will not waste as much time as I have.
* First, shut off MobileMe sync. I don't plan on ever synchronizing my calendars through Apple services again. After previous troubles culminating in the current disaster, I don't believe this product is salvageable.
* Might be wise to disconnect from the Internet entirely while conducting surgery on your calendars. Several times, iCal somehow reconstructed files that I had explicitly deleted.
* Quit out of iCal before doing anything.
iCal files are in ~/Library/Calendars.
Delete the cache file in ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache; also ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal.
You need to use the command line for this.
Make a backup copy of your Calendars folder before following any of these instructions.
Each calendar is stored in a subfolder under ~/Library/Calendars. These folders are named with unique identifiers, like "F16776B1-14B9-428C-B6C9-4D240D894B3B.calendar". CalDAV subscriptions end with .caldav.
In each calendar folder there is an Info.plist file. Look at one of these files, towards the bottom you'll see: will include:
<key>Title</key>
<string>[CALENDAR TITLE HERE]</string>
Since we have replicated calendars, there will be many folders for calendars with the same title. So, given a calendar that you want to recover...
$ cd ~/Library/Calendars
$ CALS=`grep "CALENDAR TITLE" *.calendar/Info.plist|sed 's/\/.*//'|sort|uniq`
$ for x in $CALS; do echo $x; ls -l $x/Events | wc; done
You'll get a list of calendar folders with the number of events in each calendar.
One of these folders is the one you want to keep. Probably the one that has the most events. If there are several with the same number of events, they are probably all identical copies, so just pick one.
DELETE all the other folders except the one you want to keep.
Repeat the process for every other unique calendar.
When you're done, the number of .calendar folders in ~/Library/Calendars should be reasonable (in my case).
Check again that there are no cache files left in the ~/Library/Calendars folder.
Your calendars should now be repaired. Make another backup copy of the entire Calendars folder - because iCal has a tendency to "fix" things of its own accord, so the pollution could magically reappear later.
Start iCal. Things should be back to normal.
Watch out for mysterious processes called iCalExternalSync and Mingler consuming lots of CPU. I suspect that these are responsible for some of the calendar destruction insanity but I haven't caught them red-handed yet.
Good luck!

Weird tables are added in the db after migrating an Access db to Oracle 0816

Hi,
The migration workbench has been giving me headache recently. I
was trying to migrate a small Access 97 db to Oracle081600. It
used to work fine. But one day, it began to give me problems.
Each time after I migrated an Access97 db to Oracle, the
database in Oracle included lots of tables which I don't know
where they come from (such as ACC_COLUMN,
ACC_DATABASE,...MTG_COL_DEP_CHG...OM_ALL_INDEXES_INFO...SS7_SYSCO
LUMNS...etc). And I just could not find the tables that I wanted
in the migrated oracle db. Is there anyone who knows what's
wrong? I really need someone's help on this problem.
The oracle I installed is Oracle0816, running on Windows2000.
Thank you.
Li yang

I am having the same problem. I had never used the tool before
so i thought it was normal. If you have figured it out let me
know. my boss wants to know if we can use this tool or should
pursue other ways of migrating.

4g ipod touch screen selects random items after 6.1.6 update

HELP!! Immediately after updating 4g ipod to 6.1.6- if i hold my finger on screen like you would to delete an app or to slide a list-- it randomly selects objects. So basically if my finger stays on the screen for longer than i millisecond to move object or something, random objects are selected. And the things selected are never in same area of screen. Example: So if i was to hold my finger on a letter on the keyboard to access a special character: the typing line would be something like "cc tskh   js" then it might hit enter then clear. So basically as long as a hold my finger on the screen it will just randomly do things. Hope that makes sense.

Make sure the screen is clean with no screen protector.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

10.5.6 Login Items Error with Network Home Directories

I'm splitting this post off from a previous discussion which can be found here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1835976&tstart=0
With 10.5.6 our Login Items are not working on client machines that use Network Home Directories. Everything works fine under 10.5.5.
When the 10.5.6 client logs in, login items with a path directed to the Home/Documents folder cannot be found, and the following error appears in Console:
"Unable to resolve startup item: status = -35, theURL == NULL = 1"
I have no problem manually navigating to the Home/Documents folder and opening the login items. Removing and re-adding the login items does not fix the problem. Revert to 10.5.5 and the login items are fine.
Below is a suspicious error that I see repeated multiple times in Console (viewing "All Messages") on the 10.5.6 clients but not on the 10.5.5 clients:
Sender:
loginwindow 34
Message:
FolderManager: Failed looking up user domain root; url='file://localhost/Network/Servers/myserver_name.com/Users/my_username/' path =/Network/Servers/myserver_name.com/Users/my_username/ err=-35 uid=0 euid=10790
I'm sure I could find a work-around by moving the location of my login items or maybe even changing to launchd. However, this error seems to indicate something going on with the 10.5.6 install that might be more serious. I've done some typical troubleshooting: DFA, Repairing Permissions, Clearing Caches, trashing loginwindow and MCX preferences, deleting the /Library/Managed Preferences folder, rechecking DNS on the server (forward and reverse lookup OK).
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

just to tell you, same thing here - it's nothing special about your setup. it's not a big issue for us as the kernel panic at logout on 10.5.6 is the real killer (no it's NOT JUST FONTS) so our workround is that we're not rolling it out! (staying 10.5.5).
but on my own test 10.5.6 mac i get exactly the same issue with login items that are in the network home. local apps (font management app, ichat etc in /Applications) OK, but stuff on the mounted home server - nope and a line in the syslog for each item:
Jan 28 09:25:54 hc04800-bssaht loginwindow[32028]: Unable to resolve startup item: status = -36, theURL == NULL = 1

Delay Login Items?

Hi,
I have a computer (Com1) that's connected to another computer (Com2) via Firewire, in order for Com1 to connect to the internet. There's a folder (CLOSET) on a server that all the computers connect to on login. All the other computers in the school connect just fine to the folder, as I dragged the folder to the login items after I had connected to the server. The normal computers simply mount the volume CLOSET at startup, without having to connect to the server. However, the computer connected to the internet/network via Firewire starts up with the message that it can't connect to the server. I want to delay the login items to ensure that Com1 connects to the network before trying to mount the CLOSET.
I have tried using a third-party app (DelayedLauncher) to mount the CLOSET after 15 seconds, but it can't seem to find the volume, considering the CLOSET lives on the server that Com1 is not yet connected to.
Mac's Login Items finds the CLOSET just fine, so I'd like to find a way to simply delay or re-run Mac's native Login Items feature.
If this is not possible, is there a way to write a script to do the mounting the way the Mac remembers how to do it? The problem is that to connect manually, you must first connect to the server. Then you must select Guest. Then you must hit "Connect." Then select the volume CLOSET to mount. I can't figure out how to navigate through all the necessary selections in AppleScript.
Thanks for any help provided.

When I look at the path of the CLOSET in Login Items, it reads /Volumes/CLOSET, so I can't even figure out how Mac knows how to find it and connect to it.
Another strange detail is that when you try to open one of the applications that has a database in the CLOSET, the CLOSET connects immediately. I haven't tried to create a text file or something in the CLOSET and try to connect to it, but I will try that.

OFFICE 2008 problems after 10.5.2. update

Hello,
I got severe problems with powerpoint after the last leopard update.
Powerpoint is extremely slow during start-up and the presentations do not go fluid anymore. You click, you wait and hopefully see the next slide.
Permission correction did not change anything.
Always this spinning wheel and definitely you here also from the hard drive noise that there is a problem. It got **** slow but before everything went superb.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Suggestions?
thank you

I also have this problem, and it is seriously frusterating. Just got my macbook 2 months ago, and 2008 office, and I run powerpoint presentations for work. Well, every time I get halfway through, my mac completely shuts down. It must be from overheating cuz it is burnin' to touch it. Will extra ram fix this at all? 2 or 4ghz? Anyone tested with more memory than my 1 gig?
