Why does Parallels put MacFuse in my System Preferences?
Anyone have any idea why? Can I just remove it?

Mac OS only supports reading NTFS, so in order to write, you need a 3rd party driver.

Why does print sharing keep unchecking in system preferences

Why does print sharing keep unchecking?

If your information footer is correct, you need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.2 or higher, then iCloud will appear in the system preferences window.

Why does OS X 10.9 forget system preferences?

I'm new to Macs, having just transferred over from Windows, so please bear with me if I appear to be asking something very obvious.
Anyway, I'm running OS X 10.9.4 on an Mac 21" 2.7 GHz, and have set up a few preferences in the System (such as mouse gestures, automatic hiding of the dock etc.) But, every time I shut down, the system appears to have forgotten my settings when I boot up. It doesn't take long to re-set them, but it's a nuisance.
Is this a known problem? Is there a solution?
All help gratefully received ............

In fact I've realised that there a number of things that the Mac isn't remembering to do:
1) it isn't remembering the system preferences I select (as above)
2) I installed an extension for Safari, the DuckDuckGo search tool. Each time I open Safari, it asks me to go to the Preferences>Extensions window and either enable it or uninstall it. Whichever I do, the computer isn't remembering the selection when I quit Safari and/or shut down, and the next time I open Safari, I have to go through the same routine.
3) For some reason whenever I log in, it opens the Mail program, even though it isn't listed as a login item in System Preferences>Users, and my default mail program is Outlook (in fact I've never knowinglyl opened Mail). When I want to shut down or restart, I always quit Mail. The appropriate command from the Apple menu gives me the option of reopening windows when I next log in. I always choose not to reopen windows (thinking that that way it will prevent Mail from reopening) but when I reboot, there it is.
As I say, this is all very odd as an identical Mac bought at the same time hasn't got any of these issues.
Am I being very silly and missing something obvious or is there a problem here?

How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD. However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in
the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go
to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
Click on the "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes: Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
• Stop
• Leave original alone
• Update .....
• Default selection
• Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

Why my MacBook Air keeps hanging on System Preferences and Setting whenever I attempt to open it ? ?

Why my MacBook Air keeps hanging on System Preferences and Settings whenever I attempt to open it ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

I downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Not sure how to get started without finding icloud., I downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Not sure how to get started without finding icloud.

I just downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Where is it hiding so I can set up icloud and see what lion is offering that is different from snow leopard.

I purchased Lion on the app program but that did not seem to update my software or my operating system. Curious. It showed up on my menu bar saying it was downloading then disappeared. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Suggestions where I should look to make sure it is installed (which clearly it isn't)
Thanks Roger

HT204053 The cloud icon does not appear in my macs system preferences.

The cloud icon does not appear in my MacBookPro system preferences. Any help?

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Why does Discoverer put my custom function into GROUP BY

To make things clear with simple example:
I have 10 id's from people (people.id) and sum function on their salary [sum(people.salary)] during a period of time that i set in my parameters.
The sql looks something like this:
SELECT PEOPLE.ID
,SUM(PEOPLE.SALARY)
FROM FRS_PEOPLE
WHERE [MY CONDITIONS]
GROUP BY PEOPLE.ID
I registered a function that uses people.id, and some other parameters to calculate something for each people.id!
I made a calculation:
MY_FUNCTION(people.id,'xxx','yyy')
,so my sql looks like this now:
SELECT PEOPLE.ID
,SUM(PEOPLE.SALARY)
,MY_FUNCTION(people.id,':xxx',':yyy')
FROM FRS_PEOPLE
WHERE [MY CONDITIONS]
GROUP BY PEOPLE.ID,MY_FUNCTION(people.id,':xxx',':yyy')
It runs but never finishes....?!
When i run my sql in sqlplus i do not put my function into group by, but discoverer does so, despite it already has people.id item in GROUP BY!
And if i put instead of people.id an actual id it works correctly and does not put my function into group by!
The sql i am looking for and works correctly is:
SELECT PEOPLE.ID
,SUM(PEOPLE.SALARY)
,MY_FUNCTION(people.id,'xxx','yyy')
FROM FRS_PEOPLE
WHERE [MY CONDITIONS]
GROUP BY PEOPLE.ID
Please someone help!
My select clause is much more complicated, with many outer joins so i made the above up just to explain to you what my problem is!
I hope i made my self clear!
Help would be very appreciated.

Hi,
I think there is a problem with your function. That fact that the report completes when an actual id is used must not when a people.id is used suggests that it works when the function is called once with an actual id but not when it is called many times with a people.id.
If the function is doing complex lookups and calculations to obtain a salary for each people.id then often this type of report will run quicker with the salary calculation is brought into the report SQL using joins etc.
Tracing the Discoverer session running the report will show you all the SQL processed by the database and the execution plans used. It will show you how often the function is being called and what SQL is being run by the function.

Why is the mouse not active in system preferences?

When attempting to configure a blue tooth mouse, something happened to the wired mouse. I went to system preferences, click on mouse and got no response. Also the original colnfiguration (I'm left handed and switched buttons) appeared. The mouse works out of system preferences, but the buttons are erratic. I did a (1)reset with a simple power off using the button on the back; no change; (2) after powering off again, I upplugged the iMac for AC and removed all periperals from the computer. Then powered up again; no change. Am not willing to continue without some advice from the experts. My protection plan has expired.

Sounds weird. Have you repaired the disk permissions? Maybe USB-ports have wrong permissions in /dev.
As you cannot use mouse, open Terminal (Command - Space, type in Terminal, Enter) and type command:
diskutil repairPermissions /

What is google analytica and why does Firefox put it on my computer?

Firefox has put google analytica on my browser. Why did you do that and how do I get it off?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

There are pages that I try to log onto, such as when I go to gjsentinel.com and then click on any of their stories. It will blink the story briefly and then then the screen goes black and at the bottom of my window (Firefox) it continually says "Waiting for google-analytics.com" and just stays there. However, the address line at the top continues to say http://www.gjsentinel.com/ This does not happen when I use Safari.

Why does Final Cut cause a hard system crash after upgrading computer's memory?

2x2.8 gHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon MacPro that orginally came with 2gBs of memory. We upgraded to 4gBs of memory by adding 2 1gB ram chips. Ever since, Final Cut Pro has been causing hard system crashes. Does anybody have an idea why this is happening?

Installing memory is very specific
the correct type of DIMMs must be installed in the correct slots dependant on the type of processor fitted
install exactly as per the Mac Pro guidelines here:
Mac Pro Memory DIMM Instalation
you will have to reload the web page a few times after the page warning to down load correctly (command R)
if it is per the instructions and your having trouble, the DIMMs are most likely faulty

Why does the put display to sleep setting put the hard drive to sleep

In the energy options (preferences) for power adapter, I have set the display to sleep after 1 minute but the hard drive is set to never. I do this when I am downloading but don't need to use the macbook. However, the macbook seems to go to sleep anyway - any idea why? Any new settings?
I've maintained these settings on my Power Book G4 and it puts the display to sleep but keeps the Power Book on while downloading.
Thanks

Why does SharePoint put in character code 8203 in a richtext field?

I use some RichHtmlField controls (PublishingWebControls) in different pagelayouts. I edit the pages, put some text in the fields and publish. It all seems to work fine, but I've noticed that SharePoint saves an extra character to my string. Usually it's
added at the beginning of the string, but sometimes at the end.
You cannot see it using the ordinary browser window, because it's a zero width space character. But if you right click and select View source, it's visible as a big space.
It's possible to copy the text from the view source window to a text editor preserving this character, so I pasted it as a string in a c# program. When I loop through every character in the string to check its ascii value, this particular character shows as
8203.
I used CAML Builder to check what my string looked like in the database. I couln't see anything strange, but when I copied the string from the CAML Builder result tab and pasted it into a hex editor, you could clearly see that the strange character was there.
The problem is that we translate our pages to different languages and this character makes the translation engine go bananas.
Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how this could be solved?

I wrote this little gem which is a bit DOM-intensive but it does the job...
function spCleanup(code){
if(code.children().length > 0){
code.html(jQuery('<div>').append(code.children().clone()).html().replace(/ | |\r\n|\n|\r|\t/g,'').replace(/\s{2,}/g,' '));
code.children().each(function(){
spCleanup(jQuery(this));
spCleanup(jQuery('#s4-bodyContainer'));
