What of these is even possible?

If someone wants to be specific on their answers it'd be much appreciated, BUT just yes or no is good too.
I want to guide and streamline my research, obviously researching a function you are shooting for in an app can eat up lots of hours. I want some help guiding my time. I am rather green with iOS development and want to expand my knowledge of what I can do for my potential ideas.
On a non-jailbroken phone. Complete developer license legal, Are the following even possible?
1. Change individual contacts to a foreign language with custom keyboard (If I have a Russian friend, modify the contact to where all information can be in Russian and texts to person will auto be in Russian, and another all English or all French, on and on)
2. Group contacts together and turn on do not disturb programmatically (I choose 10 of my 30 contacts in a designed app and turn on do not disturb for just the 10)
3. Modify any information in the contact listing a hyperlink, example make the e-mail address link to a webpage rather than a e-mail.
4. Change color of text to or change fonts on individual contacts.
I know Swift is said to allow more modification for individual contacts, is Swift the way to go if any of these are possible.
Thank you in advance for any help, you don't know how helpful it will be

1) I am not completely sure but I would say this is unlikely.  You definitely can have contact information in different languages.  However, I don't think that you can "set" an auto language whenever you communicate with that person.  You would have to manually switch your keyboard to that language every time. 
2) You could add all contacts that you do want to be "disturbed by" to your favorites.  Then turn on do not disturb and chose allow favorites.  However, this would cause you to have a lot of favorites and always be in do not disturb.  Unfortunately, this is the most efficient way as of now. 
3) Yes, there is actually a spot in contacts for a URL.  This would be easier than putting it in the email section.  This is fairly easy to set up. 
4) You cannot change the font or color of really any text in standard Apple Apps currently.  This is obviously available if you jailbreak, but you seem to not want to do that, which I respect.  So you cannot do this one at all right now.

  • Complicated Sumbit Button Needed - Is This Even Possible?

    I have created a fillable form that, once filled, must be printed to gather required (various) signatures. I need to create a submit button to include with the Print button that with send an (prepopulated) email notification to the Director. The email will need to contain the first four fields filled in. How would I go about scripting the submit button to do this?
    Also, is there a way to create this button so that it sends ONLY the selected fields and not the entire PDF/XML data?
    Even further, though not as urgent, is it possible to validate the Print button so that the form will NOT print unless the submit button has been clicked?

    What you are explaining is possible to do.  I have designed a number of forms where I have consolidated many documents into one PDF.  In order to do this to offer the best user experience for those filling the form out you have to understand the company's requirements.  Are they wanting one PDF form which a user can select from a dropdown or radio button the type of form they want to fill out.  Do they want a design in which the customer can fill out different forms in the same pdf and then email the final results back to the designated email address?
    #1  If all they want to do is add have the form accessible via their website they just need to add the pdf form to a site page or set a link to the location of the pdf of the server.
    #2  When using the mailto function what script language are you using?  FormCalc or JavaScript?  Beyond this, are they wanting a filled in PDF form returned via email or just the data which can be passed back to the company via XML script in the email?
    #3  I don't like to incorporate digital signatures into the documents I create unless I know how they plan to use the forms and if the company's legal department approves a digital signature as opposed to liquid.  The best thing you can do is check with the company's legal department to see if a digital signature on the forms you are creating is acceptable for these types of document.
    #4  You had the right idea with the email button but you also need to Reader Extend the PDF form but the company or you (depending on who Reader Extends the form) needs to be aware of the licensing agreement for Reader Extensions unless one is purchased which can become expensive.
    #5  As far as the forms you pulled off the Governments website, you need to create your own version of the form and incorporate into the single consolidted form you are creating.
    Best of luck on this project.

  • Usr/sbin/pppd and usr/sbin/vpnd.  What are these?

    In performing a permissions repair, it listed usr/sbin/pppd and usr/sbin/vpnd as having been modified and unable to repair. I also performed a permission repair by booting from the Leopard disc, and got the same results.
    What are these, what do they do, and where are they? I couldn't locate them through a search.

    As Limnos says, don't worry about the messages.
    What are these, what do they do, and where are they? I couldn't locate them through a search.
    pppd and vpnd are daemons (faceless helper programs). pppd is the Point-to-Point Protocol Daemon, commonly used by dial-up modems and DSL and other kinds of network links. vpnd is for VPNs, or virtual private networks.
    Read the man pages for pppd and vpnd for more information (possibly even more than you wanted to know).
    And as Limnos says, they live in directories that don't get searched.

  • What are these processes and how do I prevent them?

    For many years, many have complained of external drives that are in standby/sleep spinning up for no apparent reason.  From the user's point of view this is unnecesssary, but to make matters worse, the system usually stops everything else while waiting for the drives.
    I have a Mac mini that I use as a home theater pc.  The media and backups are on a 5-bay enclosure (no RAID) attached by USB.  While watching a video, the unused drives will go into standby mode, which is good.  But then, with no user activity, they will spin up, freezing the video and everything else, which is not good.  As these are slow drives and spin up sequentially, this can take 10-20 seconds.  This may happen once or twice an hour, but sometimes more frequently.
    In looking into the causes, I have turned off time Machine (after putting these drives into the Privacy section for good measure).  I also prevented Spotlight and fsevents logging with the following:
    mdutil -i off /Volumes/<drive1> /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
    cd /Volumes/<drive1 and then repeat for other drives>
         rm -rf .fseventsd .Spotlight-*
         mkdir .fseventsd
         touch .fseventsd/no_log .metadata_never_index
    As far as I can tell this has worked to stop those processes from accessing the drives after they are mounted, but the problem persists.  To find out what else might be causing them to wake up:
    sudo fs_usage -w | grep -e Volumes/<drive1> -e /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
    and here is what I found last night (actually didn't use the -w last night, thus it is cut off):
    18:35:36  fsgetpath   /Volumes/XBMC         0.000026   SSDragHelper
    18:35:36  fsgetpath   /Volumes/Stuff        0.000006   SSDragHelper
    18:35:36  fsgetpath   /Volumes/DatOptic_3   0.000005   SSDragHelper
    18:35:36  fsgetpath   /Volumes/MacBackUp    0.000003   SSDragHelper
    18:36:15  fsgetpath   /Volumes/XBMC         0.000026   System Prefe
    18:36:15  fsgetpath   /Volumes/Stuff        0.000004   System Prefe
    18:36:15  fsgetpath   /Volumes/DatOptic_3   0.000003   System Prefe

    18:55:36  fsgetpath   /Volumes/DatOptic_3   0.000003   GoogleSoftwa
    18:55:36  fsgetpath   /Volumes/MacBackUp    0.000003   GoogleSoftwa
    After looking into the Google process, I was surprised to find the tentacles that Google puts into your system, and ripped every bit of it out that I could.  But I have no idea about what's going on with SSDragHelper and System Prefe (presumable System Preferences).  This must be OS X itself?  What are these processes doing, and is there any way to prevent them from accessing these disks in this way?

    Thanks for the reply Hen3ry.  Looks like you've done a lot of investigation.  For me, fs_usage entries accompanying spindown are not problems - I'm happy if the drives spin down.  My problem is the spinups.  But still, I don't think it is necessary to time the fs_usage entries with spinups.  If you grep for the drives you're concerned about, you will see any process that would potentially wake them up.
    Because my understanding is limited, I also am more concerned with the process/application that is accessing the drives than with the functions or commands they are sending.  And the values that are returned by those functions are way beyond what I can deal with.
    It's interesting that you've found a difference between your old and new drives.  Could you specify the enclosure and drives in each case?
    The StorageStatus app looks interesting; thanks for the tip.
    Here's a summary of what I've done so far, which I think is working.  I need a few more weeks to know for sure.
    How to prevent unwanted drive spin-ups
    If you are actively using the computer that the enclosure is attached to, nothing on God’s green earth will stop OS X from waking them up after some user action, even ones that seem to have nothing to do with the external drives.  But if you leave the computer alone while some application is running, like watching a movie or downloading a file, you have a fighting chance of coaxing OS X into leaving the uninvolved drives alone.
    If the drives are shared with any other computers over a network, eject them on those computers
    Otherwise, OS X (AppleFileServer) will poll them every 10 seconds.  This might not be bad if you want to just keep the drives spinning and the other computer stays awake.
    Third-party apps
    Make sure no apps are running that might access your drives.  Google runs some processes that do this (maybe I’m naïve, but I was so shocked I removed chrome and every other trace of Google from my Mac mini system). Another is iStat and any utility that monitors SMART status in the background.
    Don’t let Spotlight index or search the drives
    Spotlight is persistent, and it may be necessary to take a variety of steps to stop its various processes (mds, mdworker) from accessing the drives and waking them up.  In other words, kill it, drive a stake through its heart, then burn the body:
    In System Preferences > Spotlight, add the drives to the Privacy pane.
    Add a file called .metadata_never_index to the root of each drive (note the leading period).  The easiest way to do this is in Terminal
    touch /Volumes/<drive1>/.metadata_never_index
    Tell Spotlight AGAIN to keep away from the drive:
    mdutil -i off /Volumes/<drive1> /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
    Finally delete the Spotlight folder from the drive.
    rm -rf /Volumes/<drive1>.Spotlight-*
    Stop fseventsd from logging in the drive
    This is easy, just putting a no_log file in its folder.  I have found that rarely it still writes some files in there, but it doesn’t seem to do so when it causes problems, so . . .
              rm –rf /Volumes/<drive1>/.fseventsd/*
         touch /Volumes/<drive1>/.fseventsd/no_log
    Finder sidebar
    Some people say that if the drives show in the Sidebar of Finder windows, the Finder will be checking them.  I’m not sure. But to be safe, in Finder Preferences > Sidebar, uncheck External Disks.
    Just say no to Time Machine
    On the home theater mac itself, regular backups shouldn’t be needed.  You should be able to just turn Time Machine off.  However, it is probably sufficient to simply open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options and add the drives to the list of locations to exclude from backup.
    Second, local backups can be disabled with
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Look for other culprits
    If the problem persists, use fs_usage, which generates a real-time log of filesystem activity. There is so much going on that you need to use grep to restrict the output to entries that involve your drives. The entries that accompany your drive spin-ups are the ones you really want.
    sudo fs_usage -w | grep -e Volumes/<drive1> -e /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
    Now leave the keyboard and mouse alone, as many things you might do will cause the drives to be accessed. You probably want to find what does it when you’re not actively interacting with the computer.  It’s not really necessary to wait for your drives to sleep and see what wakes them.  Any activity you see would probably wake the drives if they were asleep.  When you see some activity and want to stop and examine, type Control-C to stop the output.  On the far right of each entry is the process or application that accessed the disks.

  • Is This Even Possible? eDirectory syncing passwords with external RADIUS servers.

    We are currently have a solution that allows us to use a campus RADIUS
    server as the authentication mechanism for accessing the Internet. We want
    to integrate this so users can authenticate with their campus IDs but gain
    access to the Novell server (home directory and printing) using the same
    information.
    Is this even possible?
    So, essentially, we would like the external RADIUS' user/password data to
    be synced with the eDirectory data, but have the eDirectory receive updates
    from the RADIUS (or LDAP, Kerberos or whatever system is necessary). Or is
    an all-Novell solution the only possible way to use RADIUS authentication?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    -=Bryan

    Hi Bryan,
    As jim said, you can use idm to do this, but another option for you
    might be to use somthing like freeradius and point it back to
    edirectory as its authentication source.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • How do you adjust settings or is this not even possible with this new program?

    I just loaded 4.1.  How can you adjust settings with this new thing or is it not even possible?  Like how can you adjust bitrate or do you have to use the templates as is?

    I'm not sure what the weird button you mention is. You mean the gear button?
    In any event, and as you've found out, the answer is yes. Create a custom setting – either by duplicating a preset, or using the plus button in the settings pane. Depending on the format, the available adjustments will be different they're accessible from the Inspector.

  • What are these ports 989, 1021, 1033 and why are they always ON?

    I have noticed unknown network traffic on Activity Monitor, even I close all application, AM still shows there's about 1~2 KB (Data received).
    So, I open a Terminal and check by 'netstat' command. I notice there's some unknown tcp connections established. Is there anyone know what are these ports, and is it normal to have them ON all the time ?
    $ netstat -n | grep EST
    (..omited)
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1033 127.0.0.1.989 ESTABLISHED
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.989 127.0.0.1.1033 ESTABLISHED
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1033 127.0.0.1.1021 ESTABLISHED
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.1021 127.0.0.1.1033 ESTABLISHED

    These ports are some of those used by the NetInfo subsystem which keeps track of your computer's users, groups, and some other information about its configuration. Since the IP addresses listed for those connections are all 127.0.0.1, your computer is connecting to itself; having these open isn't a cause for concern.

    > .... what interests me is HOW ...HOW did you fnd this !!! this is the interesting point.
    That is actually what I wanted to ask you. Were they in a menu?
    My "quick check":
    I used SE80 to compare the tcodes, the programs and the screens.
    I checked the where-used-lists of the programs and found V.17 etc, and the note pointing to the new functionality for this.
    I checked the screens and also possible new screens for @@D (the debugger has changed).
    I then checked PRGN_CORR* to see whether there were any documented (but unrecognizable) replacements for these tcodes.
    I came to the conclusion that the functionality is gone, or the new implemention of it (together with new functionality) is so different that it is not recognizable in a quick comparison of tcodes, programs and screens, using SE80. So, those tcodes are relics which have been replaced by other, hopefully better, functionality (knowing the "go to" feature which is protected by the most sever authority check available, it looked as if @@D was a prototype of it from earlier - but that is just a guess).
    Perhaps '@@D' created ' VRD' accidentally?
    Enjoy the weekend,

  • What are these sockets?

    I did a 'netstat -a' and saw these curious items in the resulting list:
    /tmp/launch-GN5i5w/:0
    /tmp/launch-NXI6cg/Listeners
    /tmp/launch-X6FbI5/Render
    /private/tmp/com.hp.launchport
    /tmp/launchd-93.TXGzyX/sock
    They are all of type "Stream"
    I've never attached an HP printer to this machine.
    What are these sockets doing?

    /tmp/launch-GN5i5w/:0
    is associated with X11
    echo $DISPLAY
    /tmp/launch-NXI6cg/Listeners
    is most likely associated with ssh-agent (man ssh-agent).
    I know that both of these are started all the time, even if you never use X11 nor ssh.
    I do not know what the rest of them are for. I also have a an /tmp/com.hp.launchport, but then again, I have an HP laser printer.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 boxed software installed once in Dec. 2012 won't install on new computer. Disk can't be read (tested on 3 different computers). How is that even possible of a meticulously clean, well-protected disk?

    Dear Adobe,
    I need your help!
    On December 12th, 2012 I ordered (purchased) by mail an official copy of the boxed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 software from B&H Photo (New York, NY). I installed it successfully without any problem on my then computer. I have enjoyed using the program since then, it’s great. This past week, however, that same computer died and I was force to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1).
    To my big surprise, the Elements disk wouldn’t load off my DVD drive. The drive just kept “clicking” for 20 minutes.  After trying several times from reboot, for an hour and a half, I then tried installing it on my laptop, just to see if my drive was faulty. No, it wasn’t. It too immediately went into an endless “clicking” routine trying to read the disk. And for one last try, I put it in my sister’s laptop and she got the very same result - endless “clicking”, no install. No computer could read the disk!!!
    How is this even possible from a commercially made disk I used only once in 2012! The disk is meticulously clean, unscratched, unscuffed, put away in its original box and stored on my shelf in a cool place away from the sun!
        Serial Number of faulty disk:  1057-4186-6029-0039-1511-3940
    Is there anything you can do about this as I see no reason why I should be forced to spend over a $130 (in Canada) to replace a disk that worked only once!

                            The first select statement is for Change document header.CDHDR table contains this object class in your case if you change any batch number for any material number  from the transaction for example (MB01) you can trace this .
    From CDPOS you can trace which tables affected (EX : MCHA) and the new value(l_zustd ).

  • How is this even possible? Folders out of sync. Backlog command says in sync.

    Two 2008 R2 servers.  Been running DFS-R for about a year now.  Generally no problems.
    If I run the DFSRdiag backlog command on either server, for one particular folder, it says there is no backlog.  The only problem with that is;  on one server there are 11 files in that folder, on the other server, in the same folder, there are
    15 files.  How is this even possible!

    Hi,
    Please check if DFS Replication filter some special file from replication. For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:
    Exclude files or subfolders from replication

    If the issue still exists, please create a Diagnostic Report to see if there is any error message.
