Hot iBook, fan comes on for first time, could it be 10.4.5?

I recently upgraded to OS 10.4.5. In the last few days, I've noticed that the fan is coming on. It never did that before.
In some cases, it seems to happen when the system is indexing the external hard drive. But the odd thing is--the front left top side of the iBook, where one rests their palm for typing is getting hot. That never happened before either!
I assume the hard drive is under there. Is the system updating Spotlight's index for the external hard drive in a file on my iBook?
How can I stop this, stay cool (and calm), and avoid fan noise?

Hi, AstroMacMac.
The Spotlight metadata store (Spotlight's set of indices: there's actually two) for your external hard drive is saved on the external drive. You can tell if Spotlight is indexing in a variety of ways:
• A white dot pulses in the center of the magnifying glass in Spotlight's icon.
• Selecting the Spotlight icon shows an indexing progress message.
The indexing process is resource-intensive, so this may result in extensive virtual memory (VM) swapping. VM swap files are saved on your hard drive. This could account for the heat. For a discussion of Mac OS X memory management and swap files, see my "Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space" FAQ.
Be sure your iBook's ventilation holes are not blocked. In general, use laptops on a solid surface so the feet will provide appropriate clearance around the vents. If pressed against your lap or on a table with a table cloth or with a place-mat underneath it, this may be block the ventilation openings in the case, whose locations vary by laptop model.
If you regularly connect and disconnect the external hard drive, Spotlight will check the state of the index each time it is reconnected and will probably re-index the drive. If you do not want Spotlight to index the external drive, see the "Disabling Spotlight indexing while indexing is in progress" section of my "Stop Spotlight Indexing" FAQ.
You may also want to be sure that there are no hardware faults with your iBook. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the Apple Hardware Test in troubleshooting, including running the test in Loop Mode.
Good luck!

My refurbished iPad 3 charged for first time it and charger got very hot is that normal

just replaced my refurbished iPad 3 with another. Tried to charge it for first time. Noticed it got very hot and so did charger. I don't recall my other iPad doing this is this a defect in the ipad?

Define "hot".
If fully drained both the battery (that essentially fills up most of the body of the device) and the charger will get quite warm, though not unbearable. Time to charge will vary according to device: my iPad 4 takes about 6 hours if almost flat, but takes about 40 min if at 75%.
Be sure to use ONLY its original charger OR chargers that are rated for iPads. They draw twice the current as phones and will cause phone chargers to get much warmer than usual.

Long time to open workbook for first time

Hi,
I have a workbook with three queries . Performance of workbook is good when it was created for first time. It has additional 22 sheets with formulas and other sheets with values based on query sheets.
The problem starts after I close the existing session and open in another session when it takes 15 to 20 minutes to come up.But after that the book is slow even for single click button action.
Version of analysis 1.4.6
Win 7(64 bit)
Ms office 2010(32 bit)
Refresh on opening is disabled.
Few thing which I did:
>> I opened up task manager and did analyze wait chain, I found that excel.exe is waiting for splwow64.exe process.
>> I enabled logging at "debugging information" in support setting for workbook and checked things out in log file.
Found that
There was warning "AddSerializer failed (Command processors not initialized)
Looking at log file for events when book took time to open, I found that time stamp gap between following events"
-verbose: Working mode as serialized in document:'Local'
-verbose: Successfully deserialized system info from workbook XML
- verbose: ...its logs various properties of queries like query name,id etc"
and its immediate previous event of cache formula string is 20 mins.
>> in another session I opened a workbook with normal performance.Found above mentioned warning message and deserialization... information.
the difference in this case is that there is not delay in events.
Has anybody faced this issue? Any idea on deserialization of workbook xml in analysis.
Any idea where is metadata saved in analysis. is it in form of some hidden script object just as in BEx 7.0
Thanks
Pramod.

Hi Pramod,
Since you have several sheets in this workbook, have you checked the number of custom styles?
Please check the SAP note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1899658
According to the note, too many styles slow down Analysis for Office.
The note also contains a macro that you can run on your workbook to delete the custom styles if you want to check.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

Using iPod shuffle 4th generation for first time and receiving the error : one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
Using win 7 and latest iTunes [10.6.3]. Have already gone through below links and did not find any solution.

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

Performance issue in browsing SSAS cube using Excel for first time after cube refresh

Hello Group Members,
This is a continuation of my earlier blog question -
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a1e424a2-f102-4165-a597-f464cf03ebb5/cache-and-performance-issue-in-browsing-ssas-cube-using-excel-for-first-time?forum=sqlanalysisservices
As that thread is marked as answer, but my issue is not resolved, I am creating a new thread.
I am facing a cache and performance issue for the first time when I try to open a SSAS cube connection using Excel (using Data tab -> From Other Sources --> From Analysis Services) after daily cube refresh. In end users system (8 GB RAM but around
4GB available RAM), for the first time, it takes 10 minutes to open the cube. From next run onwards, its open up quickly within 10 secs.
We have daily ETL process running in high end servers. The configuration of dedicated SSAS cube server is 8 core, 64GB RAM. In total we have 4 cube DB - out of which for 3 is full cube refresh and 1 is incremental refresh. We have seen after daily cube
refresh, it takes 10 odd minutes to open the cube in end users system. From next time onwards, it opens up really fast with 10 secs. After cube refresh, in server systems (32 GB RAM, around 4GB available RAM), it takes 2 odd minutes to open the cube.
Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
As mentioned in my previous thread, we have already implemented a cube wraming cache. But, there is no improvement.
Currently, the cumulative size of the all 4 cube DB are more than 9 GB in Production and each cube DB having 4 individual cubes in average with highest cube DB size is 3.5 GB. Now, the question is how excel works with SSAS cube after
daily cube refresh?
Is it Excel creates a cache of the schema and data after each time cube is refreshed and in doing so it need to download the cube schema in Excel's memory? Now to download the the schema and data of each cube database from server to client, it will take
a significant time based on the bandwidth of the network and connection.
Is it anyway dependent to client system RAM ? Today the bigest cube DB size is 3.5 GB, tomorrow it will be 5-6 GB. Now, though client system RAM is 8 GB, the available or free RAM would be around 4 GB. So, what will happen then ?
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Could you run the following two DMV queries filling in the name of the cube you're connecting to. Then please post back the row count returned from each of them (by copying them into Excel and counting the rows).
I want to see if this is an issue I've run across before with thousands of dimension attributes and MDSCHEMA_CUBES performance.
select [HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME]
from $system.mdschema_hierarchies
where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
select [LEVEL_UNIQUE_NAME]
from $system.mdschema_levels
where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
Also, what version of Analysis Services is it? If you connect Object Explorer in Management Studio to SSAS, what's the exact version number it says on the top server node?

Lov is not validating when i open a form for first time

hi all,
i am using form6i.
i have one multi record block. in which lov is attached to it.
but when i open the form for first time the item corresponding the above said is not showing and if i enter the value then also its not validating against. its showing error frm-40210
but when i click on other item and come to this item Lov is showing.
what could be the reason for this strange behaviour.
i have checked set_item_properties too(there is properties have been set)
Please advice.
Thanks..

FRM-40210: Search string not found.
what could be the reason for this strange behaviour.Do you have an "Initial Value" set for the item? Do you have the "Validate from list" property set to yes or are you setting the initial value through code?
Hope this helps,

ADF application taking more time for first time and less from second time

Hi Experts,
We are using ADF 11.1.1.2.
Our application contains 5 jsp pages, 10 - 12 taskflows, and 50 jsff pages.
For the first time in the day if we use the application it is taking more than 60 sec on some actions.
And from the next time onwords it is taking 5 to 6 sec.
Same thing is happening daily.
Can any one tell me why this application is taking more time for first time and less time from second time.
Regards
Gayaz

Hi,
If you don't restart you WLS every day, then you should read about Tuning Application Module Pools and Connection Pools
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31974/bcampool.htm#sm0301
And pay attention to the parameter: Maximum Available Size, Minimum Available Size

And adjust them to suit your needs.

Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do?

Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do? Previously hit "organize", ran for 25 min till hit 100%, then "had to close"?

Unfortunately, there's not enough info listed to give you an effective answer.
Can you give more detailed system spec's. There are a lot of differences in RAM, & Hard Drive Technologies. Is your 2TB a single hard drive, or multiple drives in RAID? While a single 2TB drive is nice for the storage capacity, they also sacrifice some performance to reach that capacity... What speed is the RAM, & I'm assuming it's properly opperating in Dual Channel mode (watch your POST screen to be sure). Which Core i7 CPU are you running, & what Operating System are you running. Finally, bring up your task manager, & see what processes are using CPU cycles. Also, are you starting up PrE8 through the default shortcut which uses the Welcome screen?
A quick guess is that Auto Analyzer & the Welcome screen are behind your troubles, but can't be sure till more info is available.
There is a current thread about Auto Analyzer, & I've posted a way to bypass the Welcome screen in several threads.
See my post in this thread to bypass the Welcome screen http://forums.adobe.com/thread/516524 (2nd post in thread)

FRM-41213 message will come up the first time

When users run reports in Oracle Forms from time to time, particularly after the report server engine (InitEng=1, minEng=1, maxEng=2) has been idle for a while, the FRM-41213 message will come up the first time. Then, the second time (or after that) when users try to run reports again reports come up.
It looks like, after certain idle time, all existing report server engines are killed automatically. Then, the very first call to the report server at that time will usually fail because it has exceeded the time limit to ping the report server when it is actually trying to start an engine.
Is this an issue with the server configuration? If so, is there any way to correct it?
Thanks.
Andy

The OAS version is actually 10.1.2.3 - latest patches applied to 10.1.2.0.2. The issue is actually intermittent and usually happens when there is a cold call to the report server from RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in Forms. When the first call fails, the second time (or after that) when the same report is called will always succeed. However, this failure pattern is consistent. I also tried to use "trcrro1012" to generate some trace files and got the following. Thanks.

SQL Server Management Studio - Configuring the environment for first time use

Hi
I have recently switched my local 'My Documents' folder location to a network drive that I 'make available off line' to allow on-line/off-line work and synchronisation when I am working in and out of the office.
When I load my SQL Server Management Studio 2005 I frequently get 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is configuring the environment for first time use'.
Management Studio them loads and I can continue without problem.
I am guessing it is trying to make reference to some settings file. Any ideas? I wonder if I can change/move these settings elsewhere to a local drive?
Thanks

The page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
