Writing Scripts in FM 10 - What component should I add to my project?
Hello!
I have read the section about how to display the appropriate libraries to write scripts for FrameMaker 10 in VBS. However, I still don't know what component I should include in the References of my project.
Here is some text extracted from help file:
Displaying the VBScript type libraries
To view the VBS object library, follow these steps:
1. Start any Microsoft Office application, and then choose Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor.
2. In the Visual Basic editor window, choose Tools > References.
3. In the References dialog’s Available References list, select your Creative Suite application, and then
click OK.
4. In the Visual Basic editor window, choose View > Object Browser.
5. Select your Adobe application in the drop-down list in the upper left corner of the Object Browser
window. [...]
I have tried following the method stated above, but nothing resembling FrameMaker was available... Does anyone have an idea of which component I should add to my project?
Thank you very much
Hello Michaël!
So if I understand your answer correctly, the only way to write scripts for FM 10 would be to use the ExtendScript Toolkit provided with the Technical Communication Suite?
The help file that is provided with this application led me to believe that it was also possible to use VBS to create scripts for FrameMaker... I assumed that, since these aspects were covered in the help file that came with the TCS, they surely applied to FM 10 as well...
Thank you

What component Should I use?, Jpanel doesn't work
Hi
I need a program that has a window that can go fullscreen and windowed (I did that with a Jframe in fullscreen mode with a jpnale and a 800x600 Jpanel and destroying them with an object that maneges them), I did it with a jframe that contained a Jpanel, I used a Jpanel to avoid the flickering on the screen but I also need to change the font type and the font size, but the setFont on the Jpanel doesn't change the font (as I have realized and also read here [http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=257&threadID=150588] ), so I'm lost, I might have to redo the whole thing, but I just wanted to know what component should I use for a window that is going to have custom graphics and need diffrent fonts and diffrent font sizes and work in fullscreen without flickering
Thank you for your attention, I would aprecciate any help givenfor example:

What Component should be used to display the list on UI
Hi All,
I have a table in which when the user selects a row and tries to remove the row. I am supposed to show the pop up which shows all the rows matching to the header of the row.
In my backing bean i have the context of the row so i could extract the matching rows form db into a List<String> . Now what i need to know is which component on the Ui will show this as a list in Pop Up.
I mean which component af:??? should be used to display the List ?
I am kind of new to ADF.

What command should I add to make some of one prefix to go out through particular ISP ?
I'm running a BGP routing in my network.
I have 2 Cisco 7507 .I have 4M to ISP A and 4M to ISP B.One router for one ISP.
Currently , I have 3 prefixes such as below :-
<p>192.168.14.0/24
<p>192.168.15.0/24
<p>192.168.16.0/24
<p>The best routes always come through ISP A and most of the outgoing traffic will select ISP A as their path.I would like to focus one range of my prefix such as 192.168.14.0/24 to go out through ISP B only.
<p>How to use the route-map command ( or any other command ) to force the prefixes mentioned above to go out through ISP B only.(Sorry this may be difficult to read, but) Perhaps policy routing will fit the bill:
interface
ip policy route-map ISP_B
route-map ISP_B
match ip address 1
set ip next-hop
next_hop_of_ISP_B
-or- set interface interface_facing_ISP_B
access-list 1 permit 203.121.14.0 0.0.0.255 -
I am new with webservices. what platform should i use? wasp, glue, jwsdp .
hello i just study web services. i am very new of this. there
are many soap-based web services platform such as axis,
glue, wasp ,jwsdp etc. i don't know much about these
platform. what platform should i use in my project ? i use
java in my project. anyone have any recommend for me?
every recommend is important for me. thank youIf you're not currently involved with a web service project that is using a particular server (e.g., WebSphere, WebLogic, etc.), I suggest starting with Axis. Apache software tends to be adopted by other vendors as a basis for their products. Also, the Axis mailing lists are very active and you're more likely to get your questions answered quickly. Once you're comfortable with Axis, it's probably worthwhile to download the evaluation version of WebSphere or WebLogic to learn how to deploy web services on a commercial platform.
Good luck,

What class should I extend for this custom control?
The code below is my attempt at a mxml control to replace a custom context-menu that my app needs on certain textInput controls. Characters not on the keyboard are inserted into the text, replacing any selection, if applicable. Flex AIR apps (which I need for local access to SQLite) don't let me do custom contextmenus when the control is not top-level.
The custom component is encapsulated now in a Panel but I would like to have the composite control be nothing more than a textInput and a PopUpMenuButton right next to it. Is that possible—not to have a container? If so, what class should I extend, if creating this as an ActionScript component?
Thanks for the advice.

I feel I must move beyond iMovie, what program should I use ?
I have been happily using iMovie and iDVD from versions 1 through 6. iMovie 08 was so bad that Apple made iMovie 06 available as a free download for buyers of iMovie 08. The newer iMovies were better, but they seemed “dumbed down” (even for me). Now, I am shocked and horrified to learn that the latest iMovie does not even set chapter markers!
So, I have continued to use iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (they seem to work fine under OS 10.9.4). iMovie 06 is now 8 years old! I feel compelled to move forward. A lot of my work is DV. In the past, most of my source material came out of S-Video. I used a Canopus ADVC300 analog-to-digital converter that gave good results. Going forward, I will have more video utilizing Component Video, or HDMI.
I am looking into 2 possibilities, Adobe Premiere elements 12, or.........Final Cut Pro X.
The final result of my work is almost always a DVD. It is hard for me to move from iMovie and iDVD. I never read the manuals for either program, yet, I was able to produce DVDs with nice menus and overall quality close to Hollywood.
It looks like Final Cut Pro X 'can' make a DVD directly without other software. However, from what I have seen on YouTube the result is primitive compared to what iDVD was doing 10 years ago.
Adobe Premiere elements 12 can make nice DVDs and Blu-ray's directly. I have no problem with using a separate program to make DVDs but I haven't got a clue how to do that with Final Cut Pro X. I suppose I can still use iDVD, but now I'm back to using discontinued software.
I do not need any of the high-powered affects capability that Final Cut Pro X possesses. My “movie-making” is mostly confined to simple editing (the old iMovie 06 did all I needed).
Frankly, one motivation for choosing Final Cut Pro X, is the excellent, compassionate and understanding support that the kind people on this very forum provide. So, what program should I use?Ziatron wrote:

to turn perspective for a second by 180°:
Why do you want to switch to a new editor anyhow?
• iM-a never did discs - that was iDVDs job = no big change in your workflow
• iDVD is still working, and aside obsolete, complex and $$$$ DVDSP (part of obsolete FC/p) or Encore (part of Adobes CC rent package) your only option left to create disks on MacOS is indeed iDVD (...ok, there's Toast and Burn and some weird 'shareware'-stuff...)..
• iMovie-b supports the new HDef formats (AVCHD) - you mentioned converters and DVDs = no HDef in use, in your habitat, correct?
• if you don't need FCPX' bling-bling (I can't imagine that ) - why not using FCPX-lite = iMovie? 15$ ...
• chapters could be done in iDVD - just to mention that ............
• AP and FCPX are following very different concepts in usage - my personal preference is 200% on FCPX, … I was one of the loudest nay-sayers, when iM08 araised, meanwhile, FCPX is my dream!! AP (tested it) is way too complex, crowded, 'optionalized' and did I mention 'complex' for me. A bit like Windows vs. MacOS: 'everything goes' (incl. getting lost) vs. 'convenience' (incl. restrictions) ... After 2y of practice, I'm editing my weekly hobby-projects with 6-cam-Multicam, incl. tons of custom graphics, slow-mow, effects (soccer games) in less than 2h ... awesome!
summary:
• why switching?
• use iMovie10 + iDVD
• Premiere (or Premiere Elements!) and FCPX are both avail as fee trial ... test it - but you need iDVD anyhow
• 'disks' is a dwindling niché, for years!- consider to switch to 'other' distribution options
... what are 'chapters' anyhow??... (kid din'!) -
Security!.... What program should I use?
Suddenly we realize that the bad guys are now targeting the more-n-more popular Apple products.... As I always predicted, it's a matter of when, not if, they start attacking us with malicious stuff.
So what's the best way to protect our Mac? I've been using the free ClamXav for a couple years now... I don't see I have Java (but I have some Java Scripts), and my Adobe FlashPlayer is uptodate.
I use Safari and have a WOT plug in that warns me of dubious websites.
Am I missing anything? Anything else I should be doing?Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is foremost a problem of human behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices. -
SCRIPT
function vibor(){
if (document.getElementById('autologin').checked = true){
document.getElementById('autologin').removeAttribute('checked');
document.getElementById('autologin1').style.backgroundPosition = 'left top';
} else {
document.getElementById('autologin').createAttribute('checked');
document.getElementById('autologin1').style.backgroundPosition = 'left bottom';
/SCRIPT
If i used "removeAttribute", in face input is checked. But if i used "checked = false", input's face not checked, but it checked in HTML code (if FireBug don't lies).
Please, helped me somebody! I don't know what i should do.
P.s. Please, don't scold me for my English. I don't speak English very much and that have a cause - i'm 14 years old and lived in Russia, where nobody may helped me.It is not an attribute, but a Boolean JavaScript variable and you can't remove it.
Note that <i>if (document.getElementById('autologin').checked = true){}</i> will set that variable always to true.
You probably want this:

document.getElementById('autologin1').style.backgroundPosition = 'left top';

document.getElementById('autologin1').style.backgroundPosition = 'left bottom';

Files in iCloud are only partially downloaded into my computer. What steps should i take so that ALL FILES in iCloud would be automatically downloaded into my computer?

What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?
You have to make a distinction between the container format (eg, AVI, MKV) and the video/audio format (eg, DIVX). For instance, without additional software, QuickTime can play .avi files with the IndeoVideo codec, but not .avi file with the DivX codec). Further, you have to make the distinction between what can be played using an independent player, eg, QuickTime Player, and what can be played within the presentation software (Keynote or PowerPoint).
You can refer to
<http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/da-dk/powerpoint/item/7acce321-36fb-48d 6-8c76-12cb3a0063ee>
for suggestions. In practice, for presentation clips, I think you're limited to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. I don't know if an additional MPEG-2 QuickTime component is required under Lion, you'll have to check that yourself. So, in the end, it's MPEG-4. Both Keynote and PowerPoint Win/Mac should be able to handle it.
can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files
What's a 'safe application'? And why do you have to buy it from the App Store (yuck!)?
Handbrake, as mentioned by X423424X, is free and works very well. There are probably others, too.
this forum is the best place to learn
Perhaps, but it may not be the place to get answers to this question. Try a PowerPoint Mac user forum, they would have more experience in these x-platform issues. This forum is oriented more towards the hardware side of the MBP platform. -
To what folder should I download music in itunes
When I download MP3s to my computer outside of itunes, what folder should I put them in?
If iTunes is running, or when you start it up, anything you place in Automatically Add to iTunes will be moved to where iTunes wants to place it, e.g. iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>.<Ext>. There will be nothing to consolidate and should be nothing left over to delete. Anything that iTunes can't cope with, e.g. artwork in the folders, will be place in a Not Added folder.

My new MBP is really messed up and I am wondering what I should do.
(sorry for the mess of a post. I just had the good news of having brain cancer and they put this dressing all over my entire head I can barely see, but I want to post this, so I am going to give it a shot.)
I went to see a genius at the local apple store. After spending 1 hour trying to fix all the software and hardware issues, he went to the back of the store, came back and said we are getting you a new MBP with all the equivalant upgrades you had with the other one (the one that had all the problems). I received the new MBP, the same genius said if I leave my old MBP with him he will transfer all the data over and call me when it is done. I got the new MBP, have had it for about 3 weeks and there are more problems than ever. I have no idea what this would do to a new computer but the genius transfered all my data/files/settings over to my new MBP and he did this before or without fixing all the software problems I was having on the computer he transfered my date from.
Now my software updates... is not working. I read the article, trashed 3 apple.softwareupdates.com preferences wit no help. I find out that he said after I asked about iLife; "yes you will get iLife, all Apple computers come with iLife. There is no iLife 09 just my old iLife 08. When I spotlight iLife 09, no iLife comes up only in emails. It does not even pick up my old 08iLife that is in a folder which was transfered over from my old computer.
The manager at the apple store said to install iLife09 from the gray disk. However, for some reason the new updates my computer needs are not triggering the software updater telling me there are new updates. It looks like the genius did an update before I picked it up and it updated one security issue, but no iTunes 9/1/1 or any other updates I should have received when I look at all the recent MBP update (Apple updates only) list.
When I do go to look at the current updates for this computer it brings me to an Apple website that has all my old updates from the old MBP and in a Finder file it shows all the updates from the old computer and just the one that the genius updated for me.
Does any body have any idea what I should do? It is frustrating. I would like to just start from the beginning with the new computer, wipe everything off and install it all new and get rid of all the stuff from my old MBP that was transfered to my new MBP.
Thank for any help.I would wipe the hard drive and start from scratch. The only thing I would save from the old comp are documents, movies and music also make sure you have any passwords or mail that you need to keep. I would avoid Time Machine and just do a normal backup. Boot from the installer and go to disk utilities in the menu and erase the hard drive. When that is done do a custom install and avoid any demos and software you don't use. Install QuickTime 7 from the optional installs.
Then manually download and install the OS updates before installing any third party apps avoiding the combos. Depending on your install OS version you may not need all those below.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1061update.htm l
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1062update.htm l
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1018
When you are done run software update and install the security updates only. When you are done with those you can install whatever application updaters there are and then move on to installing your third party apps.
Hope everything works out for you. -
I'm trying to figure out what samples should install and what instruments should install? As it seems like after upgrading to 8 from Logic 7, all the files have not installed.
In the Media Browser for Loops I have 19210 Loops (which seems right)
In the Library I have the following folders (which doesnt)
01 Spaces
02 Electric Guitar
03 Acoustic Guitar
04 Bass Guitar
05 Acoustic Bass
06 Voice
07 Drums and Percussion
08 Warped Processors
09 Tools
10 Surround
11 MainStage Guitar Rigs
12 G4 Optimized
My GarageBand Settings
Garage Band
Jam Pack1
Something feels like its missing (Other Jam Pack Instruments?) But maybe I'm wrong. Does this match what y'all have out there on your installs?
Please help...hiroziro,
yes, some jam pack gfiles don't show.
try redoing spotlight indexing.
if you still have lp7 on board, use it's Project Manager to check also.
you should be doing all this on a test volume at first, leaving your main boot volume safe.
please check other posts here for more details.

I updated my iphone 4s on my computer - I lost a lot of pictures - it gave me messages that I had sent back in June and now it wont allow me to play any of my itunes on my phone - any got any solutions to what I should do? HELP
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.
