What do I do with items in Internet Accounts?

I am not quite clear on the nature of the "Internet Accounts" menu in Mavericks system preferences.
Now that I've upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, the Internet Accounts pane displays my iCloud account and two other entries: my (non-iCloud) email address with the word 'Mail' under it, and then the same email address with the word 'Notes' under it.
(I have the Notes apps on both my Mac and iPhone set to use my iCloud account. The Mavericks Notes app now shows both my iCloud account and an account named after my email address.)
(1) Is this Mail account in Internet Accounts storing the information that the Mail app is using to access my email? What is the point of having a non-iCloud email account listed here? Is this just for syncing accounts across devices through Keychain or something?
Can I delete the Mail "account" in Internet Accounts without deleting my account and settings in the Mail app? Is there any other reason to have this entry there?
(2) Can I delete the Notes entry? Why is this separate from the one with the same email address that says "Mail" under it? I guess this is leftover from when notes were part of the Mail app? Will deleting this "account" remove the other (unused) "account" that I see in the Notes app? This won't affect my iCloud notes, right? And what would the point be, now that there's a dedicated Notes app and no more syncing of notes between devices, of having a notes account associated with an email address?
(3) Related question - why do I not see an entry for "Notes" when I look at the contents of my iCloud storage? I only see my iPhone backup and a "Mail" entry (the only things I have iCloud turned on for are Notes, iPhone backup, and Find My iPhone).

1) all "Internet" accounts are set up here, now; however, most of the apps still have an interface to edit/create accounts. Don't delete them, t
hey are one in the same.
2) Notes can exist in more places than your local Notes file. Any IMAP, iCloud, Exchange account can store Notes on it. You can stI'll store notes locally, but they are not sync'd to any devices. Only Notes that are stored on servers will be available on multiple devices. I've noticed the OS is not smart enough to know if an account actually supports Notes and allows you to check the box even if that account doesn't support them.
3) I'm not at my Mac right now, but I think that is an artifact of also having a separate iCloud setup PrefPane. i believe what you see is normal, but somewhat inconsistent.

After Restoring with Migration Assistant internet accounts are not working properly

Hello!
My Macbook Pro's HDD fried a week ago, so I swapped it for a new one. I had a backup from about 30mins before the issue happened, so I thought everything would go fine with Time Machine. Well, not quite. After installing Mac OS X Mavericks from the Disk Utility and telling the system to apply the latest backup on Migration Assistant during the installation, everything started up the way I left it, but several problems showed up and I have been trying to troubleshoot them.
Issues:
1. I used to have Facebook, Twitter and two Gmail accounts logged via the Internet Accounts preferences. Used the gmail accounts for notes, contacts and calendars. Now, they all show up on the menu, but when I click on any of them it tells me they aren't connected and asks me for their password. When I put it down, it gives me an "Unable to verify account" message. If I delete the accounts and try to reinsert them, I get the same message. What's even more weird: When I restart, they are all there again.
2. Notes doesn't update properly. It shows me all the notes up until like 4 weeks ago, and whenever I even click on the app's window, it tells me it can't connect to Gmail and asks me for its password again. Several other apps that require syncing, like Calendar, have the same issue.
Troubleshooting attempts:
1. It's not a problem with these accounts, as I've been able to sync them no problem if I create a new user. But I had some serious work being done and I don't really want to get a fresh start.
2. I tried doing a clean install and when the Migration Assistant showed up I asked to transfer everything except personal documents and data. It worked, but I lost all my personal files that are not on dropbox (not many, but there were a few important things). Also the wifi didn't connect at all, kept saying it was self assigning an IP or whatever. This did not happen before.
3. Not using migration assistant at all, but restarting the system and restoring a time machine backup, even an earlier one from that same day. Mac gets stuck on spinning wheel during boot :/
This killed my weekend's productivity already, as each clean install and time machine restoring takes 3hrs+. I don't know what to do at this point.
Macbook Pro, Early 2011, 13". Old HDD 320gb, new one 500gb. OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 (the backup is from 10.9.3)

ragob66,
Welcome to the Apple discussions!
Try this:
*Accessing Time Machine Backups From Another User Account or Computer*
Yes, you can do this using the Time Machine interface.
Attach the drive containing the TM backups to your computer.
Control-click the TM icon in the dock and select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks...".
Highlight the desired disk and click “Use Selected Disk”. This will now allow you to browse those TM backups via the ‘time travel’ window. From here you can restore what files you need access to. Bear in mind that any files moved will have the permissions of that previous user account. Thus you may be prompted for the user name and password of that previous account. However, once verified you should be able to adjust “Sharing & Permissions” in the files “Get Info” window.
Let us know if this resolved your issue.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

With 3.6.12, Help menu item "For Internet Explorer Users" results in a "Page Not Found" error. Is this a known bug? Is it being addressed?

Clicking the 3.6.12 Help menu item "For Internet Explorers" item results in a "Page Not Found" error.

Is this a known bug, if so, is it being addressed? If so, someone needs to work faster.
If it is not a known bug, someone needs to get right on it - you want people to switch to Firefox and then there is this bug -- not a good way to impress Internet Explorer users.

A friend can't update her iPad (1) as it times out after 12 Hours. What would happen if she uses my pc with a faster Internet? Will my iTunes, syncing etc get messed up with hers?

A friend can't update her iPad (1) operating system as it keeps telling her to do, as her Internet timed out after 12 hours. Can we use my PC with a fast Internet or will that mess up my iTunes, syncing etc? Should she just find an apple store?

- She can try disabling the the security software on here computer during the download and update.
- Update the iPad on your computer will not mess up yur computer or iPad. However, she will then have to restore the iPad on her computer if she want to sync to that computer. Also, unless all the media is on your computer it will not be on her computer after the update.

What is the problem with my desktop imac, that ical has frequent pop ups that say I am not connected to the internet, gives me an option of going offline.

What is the problem with my imac, that ical has frequent pop ups that indicate I am not connected to the server. Gives me an option of going offline. This seems to have started when I began using icloud with all of my devices.

I discovered a simple work-around that is successful (at this point in time anyways) on my IMAC/Maverick when sending attachments (not inline or embedded) to PC users.
There are several threads in here on why attachments embed in mac mail when sending to PCs, and I have had similar issues. Not sure where the fault lies, but other than purchasing an additional program to make mac mail work as other mail programs work when it comes to attachments, I found no real solution that worked for my business PC folks. I did all the right things - sent my attachments in mac mail "windows friendly," "plain text," and "attachments at the end" and still got complaints when sending to my pc workmates using Outlook. I tried another suggestion I found here - zipping the files and sending the zipped file, but my workmates did not like that either and still asked why?
By trial and error I discovered that when I attach any pdf to the email as well as the questionable jpgs, the attachments arrive in their PC inbox as attachments that can be used as needed. I don't know why this works, but it has made sending attachments a happier task for my business group.
I would be interested to see if this works for others.

What can be done with the fingerprint reader?

I am trying to figure out simply what I can do with the fingerprint reader on the T400. I understand how to use it to log into the computer. My main question is whether or not I can use the fingerprint reader in the following contexts, and if so how.
1a) To log into internet password protected websites. When I use IE, the password manager pops up and prompts me to save a password. If I save it, I can return to that website and it automatically will enter the login information and password for me. I want to know whether you can have password manager (or another program) prompt the user for the fingerprint and then submit the login information. That way the information is protected each time I log in, but I do not need to enter log in information each time, only a fingerprint.
1b) If this is possible in IE8, I would like to know if it is possible in Firefox 3, in which password manager does not pop up.
2) Can it be used to log into MS Outlook.
3) Can it be used to lock documents in MS Word.
I much appreciate any information letting me know if these can be done, and if so, how to do them. Thank you very much for your help!

After playing with it for a while I figured out at least questions 1a) and 1b). For anyone else who has the same questions:
1a) Have your browser save the password using Lenovo's Password Manager. Then open password manager and open that item. Click the advanced tab and change the security level to custom. Click "Customize Security Policy" and select "Protect with a Fingerprint."
1b) Lenovo has a patch to synch Password Manager with firefox 3. It can be found here and is much easier than the manual fixes found on this forum.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70132
I am still looking for help with 3) and 4), particurally 3). Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you very much!!

What happened to my "Internet Account" window ?

When I click my "Internet Account" icon in System Preferences, this is what I get:
Please help !
Thanks !!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Problem with Item Validation

Hello,
I am running an advanced tutorial: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/issue_track_ui.htm#BGBJCGIC
and I have a problem with item Validation.
Tutorial offers the following:
You must manually create another validation to ensure that the Actual End Date is the same or later then the Start Date.
To add a validation for the Actual End Date:
1.Under Page Processing, Validations, click the Create icon.
2.For Level, accept the default, Item level validation, and click Next.
3.For Item, select Project Details: 50.P3_ACTUAL_END_DATE (Actual End Date) and click Next.
4.For Validation Method:
a.Select PL/SQL and click Next.
b.Accept the default, PL/SQL Expression and click Next.
5.For Sequence and Name:
a.Sequence - Enter 50.
b.Validation Name - Enter P3_END_AFTER_START.
c.Accept the remaining defaults and click Next.
6.For Validation:
a.Validation - Enter:
to_date(:P3_ACTUAL_END_DATE,:APP_DATE_FORMAT) >= to_date
(:P3_START_DATE,:APP_DATE_FORMAT)
b.Error Message - Enter:
Actual End Date must be same or after Start Date.
c.Click Next.
7.For Conditions:
a.Condition Type - Select Value of Item in Expression 1 is NOT NULL
b.Expression 1 - Enter P3_ACTUAL_END_DATE
8.Click Create.
Is there a mistake in explanation? I did it 3 times already, very carefully! I ran the page, entered the date, which is After the Start date, and get the error message: Actual End Date must be same or After Start Date!!
Thank you for your consideration...

I got it solved. I don't know if this is documented(or a bug) but what I did was declare an exception and then raise it and put the form_trigger_failure into the exception handler rather than raise form_trigger_failure in the body.
declare
alreadyExists exception;
begin
-- select .....
raise alreadyExists;
exception
when alreadyExists then
message('.....exists');
raise form_trigger_failure
end;

Custom pushbutton in ME21N should display a popup window with item details

Hello,,
The requirement is to

JSF is not so relevant in this question. It's all about how the generated client side code look like. Which is usually a bunch of HTML/CSS/JS (open page in browser, rightclick and view source). If you know HTML, you should know that using target="_blank" in a <form> or <a> element would open a new window. If you know JS, you should know that using window.open() would open a new window.
Apply this so in the JSF source code so that the generated HTML/JS output is exactly what you want.
