What is the correct procedure for repairing permissions
I am getting ready to upgrade to Tiger from Panther. I have used the disk utility to repair permissions after an upgrade or hardware addition. I have always done it using the disk utility and not from a boot up on the OS install dvd.
Is there a difference? I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
Thanks for any info!

I assume you are referring to the log entries which contain "We are using special permissions..."
If so, you can safely ignore those messages. They are purely informational. This is not indicative of a permissions problem.
There is also no need to repair permissions while booted from the system DVD. Running it the way you are is fine, and you should only need to do it when you have a problem with your machine resulting from improperly set permissions.

Update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?
I designed a folio in Indesign CS6 and created an app of the folio in adobe dps and succesfully uploaded it to the app store. Now I want to update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?
no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update. -
What is the correct procedure for upgrading to aperture 3.4
I am working in South Sudan and am shortly going to be in a place where I can download all the updates. The last time I did an update was around 2 weeks ago.
I presume that there will be updates for Mountain Lion, iPhoto and Aperture, plus a whole pile of iOS updates. From the support questions I see that there is a number of people having problems.
I presume that the first thing to do will be to rebuild the library of aperture.
What is the correct procedure after that?If I do an upgrade through AppStore, and find it does not work, do I uninstall first by removing to trash? What do you mean by revert to an earlier version, and which previous version of Aperture should I use.
Neville,
So you did buy Aperture from the AppStore?
Then move the Aperture application to the Trash, but do not empty it, just in case
Sign into the AppStore and reinstall. In this case you do not need to revert to an earlier version. If the AppStore installer does not find an Aperture in your Applications folder, it will have to make a full install, and no incompatible frameworks should remain, as is the problem with the partial upgrades right now.
Yes, I have a bootable clone,
And have you checked, if you really can boot from your clone? Just being very cautious.
Do you use facebook? Some posters are having problems, even after reinstalling, if the want to publish to Facebook. Post back, if you encounter that problem.
Good Luck

Zenphoto setup - what is the correct method for proper permissions?
http://www.zenphoto.org/
Permissions are "drwxr-xr-x 3 root root" for all directories mentioned
apache DocumentRoot is default of "/srv/http"
Zenphoto is extracted under http in a folder named "photos". When I initialize the Zenphoto setup in my web browser, I receive numerous errors that the setup php does not have write permissions within the "photos" directory.
The setup recommends setting 777 to all folders within and including the "photos" directory (zenphoto base).
I really don't want to set 777 permissions... Zenphoto setup doesn't complain if I set permissions to 775. But I am wondering if there would be less issues if I just set the "photos" directory recursively to the owner of "http"
Which would be best/proper?
Thanks!I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.

I have an new iMac and a MacBook Air, both with 256GB solid state drives. I don't want my iTunes Library to reside on the solid state drives so would appreciate knowing the step by step procedure for moving the iTunes Library from the solid state drive to my 1TB HD2.
Many thanks,Niel,
I appreciate your prompt assistance which worked fine. However, I think Apple should take a tip from Dropbox and have a menu item for Moving the iTunes Library. -
What is the correct Procedure for all of this?
I'm on a Mac with latest Mavericks OS and Latest Aperture 3.5.1
I moved around a lot of Projects and added to them and deleted some.
I want to replace my Photo internal hard drive with a new one
I want to replace my external hared drive that has my Vault on it that is now too small with a 1TB hard drive.
I haven't done anything with the library like restoring it and done nothing with the Vault since my current external hard drive is now too small. One big mistake I made was I have a folder with folders in it on my desktop 37 GB of images That I added to Aperture If I now drag that folder and all it's internal folders to my Photography internal hard drive will the link to them be broken?
I would also like to rename my Vault and Library since they have old dates in there name.
Thank YouOne big mistake I made was I have a folder with folders in it on my desktop 37 GB of images That I added to Aperture If I now drag that folder and all it's internal folders to my Photography internal hard drive will the link to them be broken?
Have imported that folder to Aperture as referenced images? Then don't move the images in this folder using the Finder, but let Aperture relocate the original image files in this folder to your new drive. Select all referenced images in Aperture in the browser and use the command "File > Relocate Originals" and select a destination folder on your new drive.
See this manual page: Working with Referenced Images
To move the library itself, just drag it to the new drive and then double click the copy to open it in Aperture.
As to the vault - it is essentially an aperture library, but it might be easier to let Aperture create a new vault on a replacement drive, then to copy the vault over.

on my i pad mini what is the correct procedure to LOCK our IPAD MINI for automatic i cloud back up ? I am never sure the back up is working. It checked the owner manual but did not find what I need. Can someone give mt the step by step "how to" help so That I know everything is completely backed up to i cloud
thank you
olefuzz0115Are you plugging in every night, locking the iPad and connected to WiFi? Are you meeting all three requirements?
Well that is what I do and it works for me because I can see the next day that the new backup shows in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Backup Now. If you look at my screenshot - you will see that I experimented to make sure that it would work. I responded on July 3 at 12:24 PM when you posted. Then I locked the iPad, plugged it in and waited for about 30 minutes before I unlocked the iPad to see if it backed up. The screenshot shows the backup was completed at 12:44 PM on July 3.
I also backup with iTunes and I almost never auto backup. I just initate the back up on my own. But the instructions that I posted are right from the settings. You can read it for yourself in the screenshot.
You do have to wait for at least 24 hours before the next backup will take place, but if you are getting a message that you haven't backed up a week later, I can't explain that.
Dont trust that message. Look and see what the date of the last backup was. That's the only way to know for sure. -
What is the correct procedure to connect and collect events from IPS through SDEE
What is the correct procedure to connect and collect events from IPS through SDEE?
We are a 3rd party application, that needs to collect and analyze the IPS events for a client.
Currently the approach we are following is
1) get a SubscriptionId using the URL below
https://IP_Of_IPS/cgi-bin/sdee-server?action=open&events=evIdsAlert&force=yes
This gets us a subscriptionId which is used in step 2
2) Collect events from the url below
https://IP_Of_IPS/cgi-bin/sdee-server?confirm=yes&action=get&subscriptionId=sub-sample&startTime=1362699903575432000
a few more notes here are
- starttime is current time in nanoseconds
the peculiar problem here is that, even though we specify todays date, SDEE returns us the events from mid Feb (today is march 7)
we did try a few combinations, but are out of ideas.
any help or direction would be appreciatedThis is more an application issue than an IPS issue.

It doesn't matter that the damage doesn't appear to be related to the problem you're having. Once the phone is damaged, the warranty is void.

What is the correct syntax for using a variable in an ad hoc query?
Hi all
I am an occasional DB user and at the moment need to update about 1000+ records so that a certain column gets a unique value.
So I thought that I would use a variable for this.
I then built this kind of SQL statement for just a small subset of the records:
variable recNumber number;
exec :recNumber := 1;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + recNumber
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
I get the invalid SQL statement error when attempting to execute above (besides the prompt that asks for a value which I would like to omit).
Anyway I also tried this one:
CREATE SEQUENCE seqCounter;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + seqCounter.NEXTVAL
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
From this one I got the error ORA-01722: invalid number...I am guessing this comes because seqCounter is of type number and the COL_TO_BE_UPD is of type character...(?)
So what I would like to ask is what is the correct way to define and use a counter type of variable to append a number at the end of a character string?
Also another question that I would like to ask is that are variables that are used in ad hoc queries also called 'bind variables'?
Thanks muchlyIf you want to append a unique number to a column then this would do it:
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD ||to_char(rownum)
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
