What determines who I "see" in in shared?

I have a macbook running 10.6.5 and have connected to an older macbook pro running 10.5.8. At the time, I was able to connect and use screen sharing etc. and both macs were on the same network at the time.
Now, I am on another network and can no longer see that macbook pro. I can however, see one of my other macs sitting on another network all the time, as well as another local mac on the network I'm currently on.
So, can someone explain to me what determines which computer will show up in my shared sidebar in the finder, and how or if I can get connected with that macboo pro?
Thanks!

As I understand it you cannot connect to computers on a different network node than the one to which you are connected unless you know the public IP address of the remote computer or the remote computer has a port opened to the internet. Back to My Mac is an example of a service in OS X that enables this via MobileMe.com, but you must have a MobileMe account to use it. Otherwise it is done, most conveniently, by using VNC (Virtual Network Computing) software such as the Screen Sharing application in OS X or a freeware utility like Chicken of the VNC. But to connect to any remote computer that computer must have an open port through which the software can communicate. When not on the same network that port will have to be accessible through the computer's internet connection.
There are other issues involved. Here's one article dealing with connecting to a home computer from work (or vice-versa) that explains some of the logistics involved.

What determine whether I see 'keep both' or 'skip/stop/replace' as options when moving files??

Recently I've rolled over the file numbers on my camera again, so moving new photos around often causes filename conflicts: 'An item named "_XXX1234.jpg" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving?"
What controls whether I see "Keep both files" as an option (where Finder just adds a 2 suffix to the filename of the newer item being added) vs "skip/stop/replace"?
When I'm trying to copy distinct new items with duplicate filenames, I want to use 'keep both files'; when I'm grabbing a mass of files, moving to a common storage place, and want only the new files to copy over, so that finder does the hard work of figuring out which ones are new/missing from the new folder, I want the option of 'skip' instead.

The option-click 'copy file' does not change the dialog box from just clicking and dragging without option--still only seeing the skip/stop/replace.
I do use iPhoto, but find the file structure does not follow my patterns of use, so do not let it organize the files--for those many, inevitable times when I want to access the images directly without having to export the images first. I also have Adobe Bridge, which has a file renaming feature. But I started seeing this option of 'keep both' recently--I think since my install of Mavericks when 10.9.3 came out, and determined it does something very helpful to me, but can't figure out how to make it show up consistently. For some things it would be nicer than always just making a new iPhoto library when the file numbers start over again.

What determines who you will get in the dropdown when you change approver?

Hello,
When you create a shopping cart, you can replace the default approver. However, when you use the "find" button, I get more or less all users in the system, independent of if they have authoriztion to approve my cart or not. This is not very user friendly I think.
How can I controll what result I get when I use the "find" button?

GAR

Hi,
As per the config guide,when you try to assign the User,using the FIND button,you will get to see all the users with the role "SAP_BBP_STAL_MANAGER" who can approve.
Else you can filter the possible selection with the BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_GET.

What or who is "WHEEL" under Sharing and Permissions?

What or who is "WHEEL" under Sharing and Permissions?

This is a *NIX thing, by the way.
When I started fooling around with Linux back in the late 1990s as a hobbyist, I took my old i486 box and put Red Hat 7 on it. I've always spent a lot of time in the command line when using Linux (it's BASH, just like OS X) and that's one of the first things I remember thinking: "*** is WHEEL???"
Luckily there was this Internet thing. I asked, they answered.
*NIX-nerds are notoriously ironic - my favorite example is the "recursive naming" tradition like GNU ("GNU's Not Unix") - and you find little acerbic witticisms all through their userspace.
WHEEL is a group that provides higher admin privileges on the *NIX system.
There is this sacrilegious attitude toward EVER logging on directly as ROOT, and so they invent all sorts of sub-superuser privileged classes like that.
(CONFESSION: I've fooled around with running a personal Linux server for 15 years now, and have probably spent 80% of the time logged on as ROOT. I have yet to screw anything up that couldn't be fixed. Knock on silicon).

In C4: What determines the max number of slide one can successfully publish?

Using C4.
I am required by policy to use an original PowerPoint file. The total number of slide equals 72 (file size 38,201 KB when completed). The internal customer wants a "kicky" presentation based on her slides, so I must use some of the Captivate tools (e.g. zoom area, highlight box -- about the limit of my skills). And there must be spoken narration, not the text to speech feature. Total time for the 72 slides is 22.5 minutes when all is done. When published the narration is good, but the "kicky" part fails. Specifically some highlight boxes do not appear on many slides.
I deleted the table-of-contents feature. The most unusual tools that I'm using are the certificate widget, and a page turning widget.
I tried breaking the presentation into two parts. Part 1 was 58 slides and I experienced the same behavior. I've not tried part two yet.
In the past, I practiced, on my computer, with the aggregator. Is this the best route? We have no experience hosting an aggregator project on our server. Are there any special concerns about doing so? (I'm not the person who does this. He is out of the office at this time). Would daisy-chaining be a better route? (if so, what is the best source for instruction to do this?)

Again, I did not see the elephant in the room. I neglected to notice a default setting. Once corrected, everything works. My bad.
But, I would still like to know what determines the maximum number of slides on can successfully publish without Aggregator or daisy-chaining.

FAQ: Who can see my files in Revel?

FAQ: Who can see my files in Revel?
A:
You have the option to use Adobe Revel with your own photo library all by yourself, just for convenient access to photos from all of your devices. You don't have to share your photos with anyone else. If you do decide to share your photos, you have the option to create and share a link to give other users access.When you allow sharing, you have the option to allow downloading from this link or not. Sharing can be removed later if you change your mind or only need to use it for a limited time.

Jim (also Geoff and Hal)-
Still haven't solved this. Here's another try at a screenshot, showing just below this text for me, of my Library interface showing the C drive listed in the left panel and not showing the C drive contents. Only, as you said is intended, what is already in Lightroom.
I thought if I was not in "Catalog" I had been able, in the past, to select from anything in my C crive simply by opening that folder in the panel.
When I click import it is usually - from memory - to start the import of the already selected items. For a time that's what was happening from the above screen if I selected Import. It would apparently start re-importing the selected items and without presenting the usual familiar dialog asking about file naming, etc. Now, however, clicking Import bring up this:
Never saw this black horizontal dialog box before this situation arose. I was able to import but not as usual and I would like to get back the square (moreso at least) "white" dialog box. No clue what's going on or how to get bact to familiar ground. Ideas?

Area Text: What determines baseline position?

When creating an Area Textbox object (using the text tool, click drag a box, type inside it), what determines the distance from the top of the box to the text baseline? I notice with lower case letters that they don't always touch the top of the area box.
...Matt

...do TTF fonts have a setting in them that dictates the em box size compared to the text size...
No.
..., or is it some calculation of TTF font properties?...
No.
Illustrator is showing me the em box is 87.5pt when my text is 100pt.
No it isn't. If you've set the type size to 100 points, then you are telling Illustrator that the em square measures 100 points.
...Does the TTF dictate 87.5...
No.
...or is it somehow calculated?
Assuming you again have the First Baseline option for the Area Type set to Em Box Height, as you did in post 9, and if the value you are reading (87.5) is the distance you are measuring from the top of the text frame to the first baseline, then it is not the measure of the em square, it is the proportion of the designed location of the baseline as measured from the top of the em square, when scaled to the type size you have chosen (100 points), expressed in the unit of measure you are using in your document (points).
Who (or what) chooses 87.5?
You asked this same question in post 9 and it was directly answered in post 10: The designer does.
Said another way: You indirectly specified the actual measure of 87.5 points by setting the type size to the actual measure of 100 points, because that's what the distance between the top of the em square and the baseline scales to when you scale the em square to 100 points. But the value, 87.5, is nowhere in the font itself, just as the value of 100 points is not in the font itself.
In normal use, you don't know what the value of the em square stored in the font is, and you don't need to. In other words, you don't know how many em units the em square is divided into by the designer for the designer's purpose. In TrueType it is often 2048, because that's a nice round binary value. But it doesn't have to be. You can set Trajan to 100 points all day long; you still don't know if its em square is 1000, 1200, 1500, 2048, or anything else. You've just told your computer to treat that em square--whatever it may be--as if it actually measured 100 points.
As for font file format, you can launch Fontographer or FontLab and design a font on an em square of 1024 units if you want, and then export it in a PostScript Type 1 formated file, or in a TrueType formatted file, or in an OpenType formatted file.
A significant difference in TrueType is that it doesn't use cubic (degree 3) Bezier curves like Illustrator does and PostScript does, and OpenType can (OpenType can contain either kind); it uses quadratic (degree 2) Bezier curves, which are far more cumbersome and tedious to draw with, because they require more anchorPoints to achieve the same shape. (Ever tried doing any serious vector-based drawing in the drawing module of a common "works" or "office" software suite?) For that reason, TrueType fonts are quite commonly drawn using PostScript Type 1 Bezier curves and then auto-converted to quadratic curves. One can open an existing PostScript Type 1 font in Fontographer or FontLab and export it to TrueType without knowingly changing any of the curves; but they will all be changed. Each segment will have one handle, not two.
Something needs to be said regarding the often trotted-out analogy to pre-digital (actually even pre-photomechanical) cast metal type: It is often overstated and therefore misleading when trying to understand the virtual, not material, measure system of digital type design.
Yes, many of the terms are throwbacks to metal cast type. But the physical limitations those terms imply do not apply. Many who like to expound on the terms don't seem to understand this, and lead those whom they are advising astray. (Occurrances of this in this very thread.)
Descenders and ascenders are not limited to their corresponding lines in a digital font. Neither is x-height. Capheight (of the actual glyphs) is not even limited to within the bounds of the em square. In fact, even a glyph's sidebearings can be set to zero, because there is no metal to actually bear.
The same can be said of the user-defined actual measures. There is nothing preventing you from setting the leading (line spacing) to a measure that is less than the font's em square (type size). Hot metal leading was bars added between the slugs of lines of type. In digital type, it is the distance between corresponding positions in adjacent lines (i.e.; baseline to baseline).
So bringing up how the terms are borrowed from hot metal type is often more misleading than informative. It's better to simply think of all these "lines" associated with digital type design as analagous to the ruler guides you would use in Illustrator or any other drawing program. You set them up as convenient references and snap-to objects; but you are not actually constrained by them as you draw paths.
Look at most any normal typeface and you'll see that rounded glyphs extend beyond the baseline, x-height, and cap height; that the height of all caps is not the same, nor are descenders and ascenders. To see downright wild "boundary violations" (if that's what they really were), look at any highly decorative italic or script with elaborate swashes (Bickham, for just one example).

Report Generation: what determine row height?

When using the standard report generation vis, and I append a table, what determines the height of the rows? You can set the column width, but even down into all the vis, I don't see any way to control this.
This is in Labview 8.5.1

I have a Zebra printer I am trying to print to and it seems like the row height is determined from just the text length. Even if the column width is plenty wide enough. But if I send it to a regular Canon printer the table seems to print fine.

How to determine who has a PDF file open?

I generate a daily report in PDF format and place the file on a shared server. The problem arises when I attempt to delete the file (in order to replace with the new version) and someone has the file open. I end up with two versions of file on she share drive. The only way to determine which is the current file is due to the date I place at the end of the file name.
Is there a way to determine who has the file open? This would eliminate confusion amongst my peers.
Thank you.

This is not a feature of Acrobat. You may be able to look at the server logs.

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at individual PXI system).

Dear Ravens,
I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
Ravens Fan wrote:
Either. For the best performance, you need to determine what that means.

You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical. That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

SELECT statement INTO TABLE - what determines order of entries in in.table?

Hello everyone.
I habe a question: A select statement selects multiple entries from a data base table that are put into an internal table.
The question : What determines the order of the entries in the internal table?
And what might change the order all of a suddden in that internal table?
Could reorg. activities/archiving (even ongoing) cause any different result in the order as before ?
I do not mean different entries but I rather refer to the sorting of the internal table, if it is not explicitly stated in the select or in parts of the coding.
Any explaination is appreciated!
Thanks!
CN.

Hi,
Its not the order in which you specify the fields in the where clause that affects the sequence of the selection.
What I said is that by default the entries are sorted by the primary key of the table.
I did a bit of a test out of curiosity and after seeing so many different replies on the thread. I was surprised to see the results of the different scenarios.
REPORT Z_TEST_SELECTION                        .

refresh it_vbap.
"Below two cases are absolutely unreliable and I would suggest that a

"options specify values with the in clause, the sort is not reliable.
"Strangely , neither the sequence is not determined by the order in

select * from vbak into table it_vbak where vbeln in s_vbeln

" The entries were selected in the ascending order of the key VBELN and

select * from vbap into table it_vbap
for all entries in it_vbak
where vbeln = it_vbak-vbeln
and   posnr in s_posnr.
Of course if you change the order of the primary key (in the transparent table, not in the where clause), the entries will be sorted as per the changed key.
But we seldom change the the sequence of the primary key. In most cases we normally add a new field and make it a key field in addition to the existing key fields.
I hope this helps you.
There might be many more cases and examples than given above, which you can try and reply on this post. Lets see what we come up with.

What determines when the My Timesheet item will display in the Resource Availability Page?

Can someone point me to where I can get more information on the My Timesheet item that displays in the Details section of the Resource Availability page? I cannot figure out where this information is coming from or what determines how many My Timesheet
lines you see.
In one Project Server environment, I noticed that each user had 3-4 My Timesheet line items in the Resource Availability page. The period I was looking at spanned 8 weeks and all of those weeks were in the future. I checked the Manage Timesheets
page for one of the users that had 4 My Timesheet items in the Resource Availability page. The user did not have any timesheets created for the 8-week period I was reporting on in the Resource Availability page. To make matters more confusing,
some resources only had 3 My Timesheet line items in the Resource Availability page for the same period. So it seems like something other than active timesheets for the period is dictating how many My Timesheet lines display. Also curious was the
fact that ALL of the My Timesheet items for all users in the Resource Availability page (7 or 8 people) showed "0h" for all of the periods displayed.
I decided to look into this further in a separate Project Server environment, because I didn't have access to the first one at the time. Both environments were configured to not use single entry mode and used resource plans to calculate allocation.
In this second environment, I entered hours against an administrative task classified as non-working time for one week and submitted / approved this sheet. I entered hours against a project task for a second week and submitted / approved this sheet.
I then used the Resource Availability page and "reported" on a period including those periods (20-week period total). I didn't see a single My Timesheet item. Not even any showing the "0h" designation I had seen in the first environment.
So long story short, I cannot figure out the criteria that dictates when a My Timesheet item displays. And I also can't figure out the purpose. If the Resource Availability page is designed to show planned work (either through the planned allocations
stored in resource plans or planned assignments through project schedules), what is the point of the My Timesheet values? Wouldn't planned work be captured in the project line items? If it's for administrative, non-working time only, why would
the My Timesheet items not show up in the second environment scenario? Any help / insight would be appreciated.

Hi,
After investing a lot of time i found one link which is talking about My Timesheet in resource availability page.
I believe link providing proper explanation though i would like to test it on my system.

i'm not sure what you exactly mean, but there are some account details which privacy settings can not be changed, meaning they are fixed either visible to public (anyone), contact only, or private (only to you). If the privacy setting/visibility of a certain account information can be changed, there will be a dropdown selection menu opposite them.

When I share a file on my macbook, who can see it?

When I share a file on my macbook, who can see it? I.e. if I share a file on my network at home, and then connect to a network in a public place, is my shared file viewable by others on the public network?

As Linc says. Do your own tests.
Share something, open it up (change permissions to allow Everyone Read & Write access. Have a friend come to youre house or you go to theirs and have them try to connect to your computer and look at the folder/files you have shared and opened up. this can be done with another Mac or a Windows PC.

How do I determine who is calling me. An unknown phone number is calling me late at night? I want to find out who it is.

How do I determine who is calling me. An unknown phone number is calling me late at night? I want to find out who it is.

Yes, yes, yes. I am well aware about your line of Verizon is "THE Phone Company". Unfortunately, everyone was not subscribed to "THE Phone Company" back before "THE Phone Company" was broken up. Some people have lines which were not in existence and have never been subscribers to "THE Phone Company". There are new area codes and numbers since "THE Phone Company" was broken up. I was unaware Straight Talk, T-Mobile, Sprint, Time Warner Cable, MagicJack, etc... automatically provide ALL of the private information of their subscribers to "THE Phone Company" simply so these other companies can exist. I was unaware "THE Phone Company" required each and every phone provider in the US to gather information for the USER of a phone when that USER was not the account owner. I don't remember giving my 15 year old daughter's information to "THE Phone Company" when I opened up her line 5 years ago. Obviously I did, since "THE Phone Company" has it as you would lead us to believe. I wasn't aware "THE Phone Company" required someone opening an account with 10 lines to provide the private user information for each and every one of those lines. When I opened up my 4 line account, I only remember giving out MY information. I don't remember validating everyone on the account was related to me. I don't remember giving out the names/DOB/SS #/etc... for everyone using the phones on my account. That information must have simply slipped my mind.
For what it is worth, I never said they didn't have information on "every single number coming and going" thru their system. That is not the information being requested, though. The OP wants to know the name of the person making the call. If Verizon, aka "THE Phone Company" does not gather information on all users of a 10 line More Everything account from the account owner, where exactly are they getting this information. Furthermore, if they don't even gather this information of their own subscribers, why would you expect they have this information on the subscribers to other phone providers? It is not required to open a 10 line account. They do not run credit checks on all the users. They do not require SS#s on all of the users. They only require this information on the account owner. Are they staking out the account owner and following him/her to determine who is using the phones on his/her account? I guess I am simply too trusting.
You speak of "back in the way old days". Well these are no longer the "way old days". Lines on an account can be scattered all over the US. The users of these phones aren't necessarily and more often every day not even related. "THE Phone Company" doesn't necessarily and is UNLIKELY to know the identity of the majority of people using phones on an account. The account owner, yes. Everyone else, NO. People making a call are just as likely using an area code/phone number of a location they don't even physically reside. "Back in the way old days" this was much less commonplace.
Yes, they MAY be able to get the name of a caller, but it would take time and COULD take a considerable amount of time depending on the cooperation of the account owner.
