WGM printers don't always appear in users list
Seemingly randomly, users aren't seeing the managed printers I setup in WGM. The user can usually log in again to see the correct list.
The client is a new XServe running 10.4.10 with network accounts for these users. Clients are intel iMacs with 10.4.10 as well.
Printers are setup in WGM via IP printing and built-in drivers.
Any thoughts?
Not that this helps but I have the same exact problem. Before I give my details sorry to be that guy who adds to the problem without solutions!
All of my machines that I am testing this on are Mac Mini Intel Duo machines. I am also seeing this problem on the Mac Mini Intel Solo machines from last year. I haven't tested a PPC client yet.
I am finding out that in my case this only happens when the machine first boots up. The first person on has no printers. If they log off and log back in they will have their printers. If anyone else comes to the computer and logs in after that initial login they will have printers. Once the machine has been rebooted the process starts all over again.
I also have noticed that if the first user to login is a member of multiple groups they will not get prompted to choose the group that they belong to. If they log off and log back in then they are prompted.
If I login the first time as the local admin I am not given the option to unchoose "enable Workgroup Management". I get to the desktop with no restraints. Again if I log off and log back in I will be prompted.
Besides this odd group choosing behavior this business with printing though it appears that all other preferences as far as the dock, what programs they are not allowed to run, Machine name, energy saver, etc. All of that stuff works properly just not printing or group choosing up front.

New Folio Issues don't always appear to users ( uninstall required )
I've been getting feedback that iPhone folios don't always appear to users when published publicly...i.e. I publish the latest issue and it appears for many users in the folio library, however some (even though they have an internet connection) do not see the new folio as available.
This has been solved by the user uninstallng and re-installing the app, however that's not an obvious course of action and most users miss available content.
Anyone else have insight into what could be the problem here?
I'm publishing v26 folios through a v26 app, and also I'm not sure this problem is isolated to iPhone.I have the same problem!
I hope someone can help and find a solution... -
Font Book: Installed postscript Fonts don't always appear in Font Book list
Greetings,
I was helping a user the other day with Font Book. I was showing him how to add/enable fonts into Font Book when I noticed a problem I had never seen before. Before I get started, the fonts in question are from the Adobe 7 Font Folio library. There were newly installed by me from the original disk, and known not to be corrupt. I also know that that Postscript fonts are an accepted font format in Tiger.
That said, when adding.installing a particular font using Font Book, it would not "Appear" in the Font Book" list of fonts. I would attemp to, again add/enable the font (by selecting it from the Adobe Library) and still it would not appear in the Font Book list with the other installed fonts. This would happen to any font that I tried to install. Once this happenend to a specific font, I could no longer get that specific font to install.
I removed the Font Book .plist - no luck. I also rebooted - no luck.
Obviously, no application was able to recognize any of the fonts that would not install.
It was as if Font Book would not recognize any font that I was trying to add/enable.
Could this be a corrupted cache issue, or .plist problem? Could this be a permissions related issue? What did work finally was to add the font to the "Computer" set, where it would be avaialbe to all users. But I could not get the font to install into the "User" set. Weird.
Also, What is the significance of these four fonts:
HelveLTMM
Helvetica LT MM
Times LT MM
TimesLTMM
These fonts above are part of the default package that is loaded into the /System/Library/Fonts
Is it safe to replace these with Postscript version from my Adobe 7 Font Folio collection?
I have read most of the font related tutorials and articals.
thanks,
Hairfarm
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.6)where did
you get the information about pre-92 Adobe postscript
fonts being uncompatible?
Oh, sure, it's hard enough for me to remember things these days and now you want me to remember where I learned them from?? geez... [gone lookin' ... okay, back] It was, as I vaguely recalled, on the Adobe site, re troubleshooting in OS X, in a list of "do this to solve your problems": "Make sure that you are using the latest version of the font... If the font's creation date is prior to 1992, a new version of the font may be available." The only Type 1's that have given me any problems were, all three of them, older than 92, and in troubleshooting something here a few weeks ago, that turned out to be a problem for someone else, too.
But all of the Tiger font
research that I have done suggests that Adobe
Postscript fonts were acceptable.
Yes, well... Type 1's are supported. It seems that some older ones are a little funky (not in a design sense....)
Ideally, what fonts can be removed from Tiger from
the System/Libray/Fonts folder? I know that all four
of the MM's (Helvetica LTand Times LT), Lucida
Grande, Geneva, Keyboard, Last Resort, and Monoco
must stay, but what about the others?
You also need a real Helvetica - that is, not the MM version. You can replace the system's Helvetica with one of your own, but there must be an available Helvetica around at all times.
Then there's AquaKana (two of them, regular and bold). They're not on Apple's official "do not remove" list, but there's some anecdotal evidence of its being needed. It's "real" name begins with a period, so it doesn't appear in any menu, so it's not going to hurt anything if you leave it there.
In stripping down nonessential fonts, lots of people just remove everything from the Library/Fonts folder, but I think it's good to leave the basic most common web fonts available: Comic Sans, Georgia, Trebuchet, Verdana, Times New Roman. This keeps web pages looking the way they're supposed to - and they shouldn't conflict with anything that's being really designed!
This is assuming that the fonts
being used are not damaged and "Pass" Font Book's
validation test.
The assumption within that assumption is false: Font Book's validation is pretty iffy. I think the only reason we don't see it as REALLY iffy is because fonts, on the whole, are pretty solid in OS X (your current experience to the contrary). I've installed fonts (properly) that flew through the automatic-on-install validation but failed when I used the Validate Font command afterwards. I've had fonts that pass both the on-install and specific after-install validation but get a Bad Font warning dialog when being re-enabled after a disabling. (And I didn't use the font in between... ) Who knew Font Book did any validating when you re-enable fonts??
This is what I would do:
(Not necessarily in this order)
1. Trash Font Book .plist
2. Trash all Font Cache's from all three libraries
(System, Computer, and User folders)
3. Reboot
4. Delete problem fonts from User and Computer
Libraries and reinstall using Font Book.
Please tell me if this strategy is ill-advised, and
what the better course of action might be.
None of it is ill-advised. I would add starting up in Safe Mode to see if the problems exist there as part of the narrow-down-the-problem stage. Same goes for setting up a separate user account and see how things are behaving there. (Yikes... did you try that yet??)
In addition, there are some special things to do when it's Office apps having the problem, or something going on with Adobe's application fonts folder...
Also, Zaph Dingbats is acting up as well. I removed
the .dfont version that was in the system folder, and
replaced it with the Adobe Font Folio Postscript
version (ITC Zaph Dingbats) that I loaded into Font
Book User/Library/Fonts folder. Now that I think
about it, that specific font has been around for
along time, and may very well be pre-1992. Hmmm...
Can you further define "acting up" ? In addition to the ZD dfont from the system, I've been using/testing ITC ZD from Adobe with no problems. It's version 2.0 with copyright dates of 1985 through 1987.
A lot to respond to. My apologies.
No problem. You caught me on a night when I'm too tired for real work but not so far gone I can't do this (tho I'm soon on my way, bleary-eyed, to get a fix of Sudoku puzzles). -
Purchased songs don't always appear in library...
Is anyone else having this problem with iTunes 11? On a couple of occasions I've purchased a song, seen it download, but then can't find it in my library (which I have sorted by date added). To get the song to download I have to go back to the store, try to purchase it again, and then select the "redownload for free" option. However, you're not always given that option - sometimes it just says you've already purchased the song, do you want to purchase it again.
Weirdly the songs do not show up in the all purchased music section of the store, so no way to download from there... This is definitely an iTunes 11 issue as it's never happened before.The download.m4a files do not appear to have any ID3 information stored in them, and I suspect this may be the issue with importing them into iTunes. Importing the file just results in a track titled "download" that has no associated metadata.
For some reason iTunes isn't getting the signal to stamp the files with the ID3 information (it seems the information is sent by the server and stamped locally by the application, which includes the purchaser metadata). Presumptively, it then is supposed to import the now-stamped m4a file into iTunes and deleted the tmp directory.
Partial work-around: for those of you with iTunes Match, updating your library from Store:Update iTunes Match seems to allow you to (attempt to) redownload the files - I seem to have success purchasing-and-actually-importing tracks about 50% of the time. It's quite frustrating to have to do this every time you purchase something, however... And of course, this leaves non-Matchers without a solution. -
I only noticed today that Firefox works fine until I open gmail, so I'm not 100% sure of that. I usually work with gmail open, so it's hard to separate the two. Problems started before Christmas. Firefox would hang occasionally (every few days). Keyboard worked fine. Then Firefox started to hang once a day or so. Now it hangs several times a day. Every now and then, it crashes (especially if left unattended, the brat), but apparently I never sent a crash report. ( I couldn't get it to crash today -- it would rather hang. Fatal either way.) A week ago, I completely removed Firefox to the best of my ability and reloaded, hoping that would fix any hidden out-of-date or cookie issues. No joy. Keyboard issue started yesterday, so now Firefox is useless. Please save me from having to use Explorer!
P.S. I have Vista.
P.S.S. Oh, google calendar wouldn't load in Firefox, just now - said it's "redirected", and then Firefox crashed. Crash id is below. I did the about:crashes thing and Firefox could not find the report! (Oh Noes!)
This sounds like malware to me, not that I know anything at all. I have current McAffee and it did not detect anything.
Problems started around the same time that I got a new canon pixma MG8120 printer, which loaded a plugin apparently. Might be a coincidence.
If you tell me to remove any plugins, tell me how. I think I tried that and couldn't find a way. Or maybe that was something else...New information and answers to the questions:
1) I've never used dropbox on this machine, so that isn't the case
2) I use Firefox as my browser and don't touch Safari unless it is a site that Firefox balks at. I did all the hardware scans, software scans, resetting prefs, and PRAM as well, almost every day.
New info: I had to do a complete system format and reinstall. It actually seems to have solved the problem and corrected a few things that the recent updates hadn't resolved (the disk sound on sleep-wake didn't work until I installed the update on a new system install). I think the issue had to do with either the recent Java or Airport updates and I haven't installed them this time due to that fear. What forced me to do a complete install was the computer wouldn't hold an internet connection *at all*, even when directly plugged into the router via ethernet. System time got messed up and keychain passwords got hosed too if they related to recent internet/network connections. I wish I had more info to share but that's it. Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to keep this open for now as I am interested in seeing if anything else could explain this issue.
I opened a bug report at the Apple Dev. site (https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/110/wo/klAiofleLooe0 XCbERCOUM/5.79.28.0.9) as well. -
I can sync my iphone and ipad over wifi using itunes, but not always. In fact quite frequently neither shows up in itunes. I try to reboot them and sometimes they show up, but not all the time. I have tried rebooting iphone and ipad, the computer, checking and unchedking "sync over wifi," etc.
Nothing changes. Very often one or both do not show up to be synced. they work find if connected by usb cable, but not over wifi.
any help would be appreciated.So far I've found the only remedy is to reboot my server (Mavericks Server is my OS).
Clearly there is some system service getting hosed. If I can figure out which service to kill and let launchd restore the service, I can save some grief. -
CTS - Don't Always Want Transportable Change Lists
Is there a way to turn off automatic creation of the Transportable Change Lists? At times, especially during the trial and error of development in the IB-Repository, I do not like having a bunch of transportable change lists created. I end up deleting them manually since I always do initial transports of the entire SWCV after I am done.
In the past I have turned off the change lists by SWCV when using CMS for transports (config exists in Administration section of Integration Builder). Is there something like this for CTS?This change did not resolve my issue (and we bounced the system to make sure it took effect).
If anyone knows of anything else, please chime in.
When I make a change in IB-Repository, then go to the "Change Lists" tab and activate the change, a "Transportable" change list automatically generates. I would like that turned off and I will only make transports when I am ready.
Thanks -

when i trying to update my iphone 5 to latest ios 7.04 always appeared error when the update almost done about 20 to 30 minutes
Hello micojen1920
If you are having an issue with updating your iPhone, try it through a different method like in iTunes or through software update on your iPhone in settings. If that does not work then follow the steps in the article below to force a restore on your iPhone. Make sure to back up first and you can always restore from that back up once your iPhone is up to date. The second article will assist you with the back up and restore process.

Managed Printers Don't Appear in Printer & Fax Preference Pane
Something curious to ponder. I've had this issue for a while now (though it's not a huge problem), where I have a managed Mac (managed via Mac OS X Server 10.6.8) that doesn't display the printers that have been added to a computer list via Workgroup Manager in the Mac's Printer & Fax preference pane. The printers do appear in CUPS (127.0.0.1:631), and the computer prints fine to the available printers, but they just don't appear in the preference pane. I've attached some screen shots for clarification.
Computer list in Workgroup Manager
(even with the Only show managed printers option unchecked, nothing shows up in Printer & Fax)
CUPS page on managed Mac
(All printers show up fine here)
Print & Fax Preference Pane
(Printers don't show up here, why not?)
Print dialog box in Safari
(Printers show up here)

Captivate 6 startup admin prompt always appearing and file menu display issues
Hi,
Product: Adobe Captivate 6.1
WinVer: Win7x64
Our users are non local administrators. At startup they get the below screen as expected:
The problem is the screen always appears at startup, even if they check the "Don't show" box.
Secondly the menu doesn't display when Captivate 6 is launched unless maximized:
I've also noticed when the above issues exist Adobe Captivate 6 isnt creating\writing the files "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 6.0\info.cpi" or "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 6.0\objects\objects.cpo".
Both the above issues can be fixed if the user goes into the preferences menu and unselects "Startup message in Microsoft Windows Vista/Win7".
The problem here though is the users dont know to do this and they shouldnt have to. Is there a way to set this option unchecked in preferences by default or to get the initial admin dialog checkbox option to work correctly?
Thanks,
DavidHi Dave,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community Help. Please accept my sincere apologies for the same.
In order to disable the startup admin box permanently go to Edit > Preferences > General Settings > Confirmation Messages and unchek "Startup message in Microsoft Windows Vista/Win7".
But the Don't show button works just fine as well.
Is it not working on one machine or all the machines?
Thanks! -
New Users Not Appearing On Login List - Help!
Hello Mac geniuses,
I run a 10.3.9 network in an elementary school, and I since returning from summer vacation I have had problems with many of my client eMacs not displaying the names of users I have added in WGM. These eMacs are also still displaying the names of accounts I have deleted.
If anyone is kind enough to help a stranger, I have copied below the transcripts of my email exchanges with an Apple tech, in my struggle to get my school functioning again. (I have placed them in the correct order so the 1st email is on top and the last on bottom. The tech's name is John and I am using "Jon" to make it slightly less confusing!).
My very grateful thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

NetInfo Recovery Techniques
Joel Rennich, [email protected]
4 June 2002
When working with NetInfo, which we are and hope to have some more articles on in the near future, it is important to know
how to back up to a previous version of your database.
1. First, the most brutal way of recovering from a nonfunctional database.
Boot into single user mode by holding down the "s" key while starting up. Follow the handy instructions Apple gives you at the end of the startup sequence and run fsck. Then mount the system root disk as read/write with:
mount -uw /
Now you can get on with recreating your database in a very brutal way. Remove your current database with:
rm -rf /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb
Now remove the file that prevents the Setup Assistant from running:
m /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
And now reboot to get things rolling.
reboot
This will cause the Setup Assistant to launch, complete with music and bouncing blue blobs. If you remember which account you set up first when you last saw this screen, set up that account now. Otherwise, go with whatever you want for your first
Administrator account. If you match it up with the original Administrator account, all of your permissions should be groovy.
Otherwise, get familiar with chown and chmod and you will be able to set things right.
The above method is rather draconian and isn't for times when you need to replace a complicated NetInfo setup, but should work perfectly well for an essentially single user machine. However that probably rules out most Servers.

Hi John,

I know I've heard someone once suggest (in a moment of resignation) that I just use the blank name and password fields at login, but this is not really an option in elementary school. I only have 478 users in WGM, so I can't believe that would be too taxing for OS X Server!
Thanks again for your thoughts on this.

John, we're talking about 23 computers here - re-imaging is not an option for me alone unless I have some technical assistance (I don't know how to 'ghost' images across a network).
I was managing the users by Groups though I did have a list of the computers called "lab computers". I just noticed that when I try accessing the Computers tab in WGM (whether on my teacher's station or on the server itself) I get the same error message:

hi all my boss has just got himself a nice new mac and wants to connect it on to my windows domain at work, no problems there it’s all connect fine, one thing we done was to map a few of our network drives on our domain so he can easily load them to his mac, works great when it’s on the domain however when he goes home and logs in for each mapped drive it throws up a window saying it can’t connect or when it is connect opens up every drive, even after disabling them at login, now on the apple website the text reads "if you don’t want an item's window to be visible after login, select hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the finder after login), does anyone know any work around that can maybe solve this or point me in the direction where I can find one.

ME49 enhancement (vendor name will always appear)
Hi gurus,
In ME49 Price Comparison List, I can get price comparisons by either inputting
1)Quotation Numbers
or
2)Collective RFQ
Inputting only quotation numbers will display the price comparison output WITH vendor names ONLY.
Inputting only collective RFQ number will display the comparison output WITH the collective number in the report ONLY and NO VENDOR NAME.
How do I force the Vendor name to always appear in the output? Or in other words, how do I make the program "think" that Quotation Numbers was the one that was inputted?
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Mozart PenaI think you cannot. ME49 does not offer much in the way of user-exits, enhancements, BADI's ... there's one BADI you can try (but I wouldn't get my hopes up): ALV_SWITCH_GRID_LIST ... or otherwise you can do a modification to SAP standard ...

Portal Favorites iview always appear in detailed navigation
Hello,
I have a problem regarding the Detailed Navigation with the Portal Favorites iview.
The iview always appears in the Detailed Navigation, although the only thing it shows is the message "there are no items to display" (meaning that there are no favorites). This causes the detailed navigation to always appear even when there is no need for it (no navigation links and no other content attached to it).
I tried removing the Portal Favorites iview (because we don't use that iview in the portal and have no need for it) from the innerpage of the default framework page, and it works, but after the next restart of the portal, the iview returns.
Is there any way to remove it completely so that it won't appear again?
We're running EP7 SP14.
Thanks in advance,
Tal.Hi,
Create a new framework page by creating a delta link of the original page and then modify that framework page.
Also you will have to create a new portal desktop and use the modified page and also set the desktop rules accordingly.
Thanks,
GLM
