How to troubleshoot system?

I am trying to diagnose a weird error I am getting in Excel. (This is that any cell accepts input for less than a second before it acts as if the enter key were pressed, so that it is impossible to enter more than a couple of digits or letters.) I have established that it does not occur when in safe boot mode, so I need to systematically disable startup items to troubleshoot it. (Takes me back to Conflict Catcher days in OS9.) I have tried moving Input Managers and Preference Panes out of /Library and ~/Library, to no avail. What other files should I try this with? Any hunches as to what kind of thing it might be...?

Hello Jeffery:
I only use Excel on rare occasions and I have not experienced that problem (no help to you).
I think I would start by trashing this preference file and restarting:
com.microsoft.excel.plist
If that does not help, I think I would delete Office and reinstall it.
By the way, I use Office 2004 and there was a recent update made available from Microsoft (that may or may not be relevant to your issue).

How to troubleshoot approval workflow of a rejected purchase order

Hi,
We are working in oracle applications 11i.
I have a purchase order with status rejected that has hanged up in the system. The user rejected PO and the document has not been transferred to the PO buyer. From the application forms -> Forward documents window, I can see that neither the user who rejected or the buyer has the document.
From System Administrator responsibility I can see that the workflow administrator can modify a PO that is only IN PROCESS,
what shall I do?

How to display system property in XML forms

Hi
We are using XML forms template for publishing news in KM. In the show form we got author field (a label in the form) which is mapped to system property createdby (PropertyReference = /Properties/default:createdby).But while displaying the form author is not getting populated. When I try to edit the form in XML forms builder in data model tab under properties node no property is visible. Nothing is shown up in properties even after reload option is selected from context menu of properties node.
I cheked by manually editing PropertyReference to some other property (e.g. modifiedby) but nothing is showing up.
Can you please suggest how the createdby system property can be shown in the xml form?
Thanks & Regards
Sudip

Hi Sudeep,
Please try to open the formbuilder in another machine and try to see the properties xml form design view.
You can even directly can create a lable in show form and add the property name along with the nama space name.
For default properties namspace is default.Create a lable UI element in show form and select the datasource property and add the property value in that.
With we can show file related system generated properties in show form.

How to Check System Preference Settings with Time Machine

I just found and fixed a problem caused by a bad System Preference/Universal Access
setting and would like to go back in my Time Machine backup to see where the
error was made. I may have been too quick to blame the 10.5.3 update on the
problem so wanted to look back in time.
The problem is i don't know how to check System Preferences using the Time Machine.
Any suggestion?

If you're looking for specific settings, the short answer is you cannot. You can open the .plist files and try to find the specific option you're looking for, though it might not be too easy to decipher some of the contents of the .plist file. For the most part they're just lists of attributes and settings. For instance, here's a very small chunk of my Finder .plist file:
<key>All Images.cannedSearch</key>
<dict>
     <key>SidebarWidth</key>
     <integer>162</integer>
     <key>ToolbarVisible</key>
     <true/>
     <key>ViewHeight</key>
     <integer>1116</integer>
     <key>ViewStyle</key>
     <string>icnv</string>
     <key>WindowBounds</key>
     <dict>
          <key>bottom</key>
          <integer>1200</integer>
          <key>left</key>
          <integer>56</integer>
          <key>right</key>
          <integer>1920</integer>
          <key>top</key>
          <integer>84</integer>
     </dict>
</dict>
<key>AnimateInfoPanes</key>
<true/>
<key>AnimateSnapToGrid</key>
<string>true</string>
<key>AnimateWindowZoom</key>
<true/>
Each "key" is followed by an attribute, so for instance the "SideBar Width" key is given the "Width" integer attribute of 162. However, some keys have multiple entries, such as the "WindowBounds" key having sub-keys of "bottom", "left", "right", and "top".
These values are finder preferences, though are not accessible via the finder's preference settings. However, buried deep in the Finder's .plist file are some of the user-editable settings:
<key>ShowHardDrivesOnDesktop</key>
<true/>
<key>ShowMountedServersOnDesktop</key>
<true/>
<key>SidebarSearchesSectionDisclosedState</key>
<false/>
If you can find the attribute you're looking for, then that may help you narrow down which version of a .plist file to restore, though not all of them are straightforward legible text. Some have bizarre strings of seemingly random characters that only the application can interpret.

How to Troubleshoot iTunes 10.6 Download Failure in Firefox 14.0.1 ??

How to Troubleshoot iTunes 10.6 Download Failure in Firefox 14.0.1 ??
posted Thursday, 02 August 2012 at 07:43AM PDT, by Matthew B. | @QHereKidSF
SIMPLY-PUT !!
I am desperate to know of any possible workaround solutions that might resolve inexplicable failure(s) to download iTunes 10.6 (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/) in Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 Browser for Windows 7 (64-bit) OS...!!
FURTHER DETAILED !!
In an aimlessly ill-informed effort to troubleshoot the "Please install Apple Application Support" ERROR Message reported subsequent to my numerous attempts to "repair/install" the most recent and otherwise previously up-to-date versions of Apple QuickTime & iTunes on my HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC, running on the Windows 7 (64-bit) OS... I mistakenly (perhaps?) thought it wise to attempt to execute a complete uninstall/reinstall of both QuickTime & iTunes. Oops... YIKES !!
Somewhere along the knotty entangled threads of my most circuitous web-research, as I browsed for information and instructional resources regarding proper procedure for (re)-installing Apple Application Support (amongst other peripheral software programs provided by Apple, Inc. as integral technical components essential to seamless & successful installation, application and operation of the most current/up-to-date versions of Apple QuickTime & Apple iTunes), I seem to recall reading explicit suggestions from well-rated community support contributors to proceed with the aforementioned course of action...
Unfortunately, now that I no longer have either Apple QuickTime or iTunes currently installed on my Win7OS HP Pavilion Notebook PC, I continue consistently to fail at initializing either a functional download or installation solely of iTunes 10.6 -- so far!!
When I link to the Apple iTunes 10.6 Download URL (listed herein, above!) and click the (blue) DOWNLOAD NOW Button located near mid-center of the left-sidebar in the presumably appropriate/correct browser tab window (fully framed and immediately visible in maximized view, on my screen), what seems then to occur is pretty much what one could only image/explain &/or describe as "zip/zilch, nothing/nada, absolute silence, stillness: a blatantly obvious failure to initiate functional download of anything at all, whatsoever...!!"
Not a single hint of code or even a mere bleep/beep/blink/blip in my Win7OS or HP Pavilion Monitor Display appears before for me; ultimately, suggesting without any real certainty whatsoever that a download of the iTunes 10.6 Software Installation Package has perhaps initialized, successfully...!!?
WHAT TO DO? What to do? ...ARGGHHH !!
I am desperate to find a workaround solution with which to troubleshoot and ideally resolve these persistent difficulties I continue to encounter when attempting to download iTunes 10.6 via Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 on the Win7OS (64-bit) of my HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC!!
Might there possibly be anyone -- anyone, at all!! -- out there, somewhere amidst the knotty entangled nets broadly cast far'cross the endlessly great and expansive waves of this worldwide cyberspace we share, who perhaps would know of a proper workaround fix with which I might troubleshoot my current web-computing technology crisis??
If indeed so, please do come diving face-first forward toward me... with any decent amount of valuably trustworthy information, instruction, advice, guidance, support or even encouragement that you might be readily willing and able to provide!! Please, please...!!?
Any worthwhile, effective assistance that's provided to me (in as short an order as possible) would be most sincerely appreciated & acknowledged widely across the web by me... with resounding cries of humble recognition, admiration, and deeply indebted gratitude!! At least, that's only as much as I can so far surmise to guarantee, at this point -- thus far and so moving forward!!
Yes, indeed...!! That's a promise which I intend to keep; should all issues be resolved well much for and in my favor, as well as much, much sooner rather than far-too much later -- hopefully, even by the end of the coming day; one might say... *sigh* Hehe. WINK/GRIN...
Boy o'boy, now... That sure would delight me to the nth-infinite degree, indeed! "As heck a'heaven-high: FOR SURE!!" I dare say...

Is it possible to chenage logical system and how after a system is beeing u

Hello
I wander is it possible to chenage logical system and how after a system is beeing used for a while and how?

Hello Tina,
If the system is NOT a production system transaction BDLS can be used to change the logical system. This would be necessary after refreshing a dev system from a production system, for example.
If the system is a production system, I would agree that this is NOT advisable.

How many logical systems are required to connect between one XI and R3 sytm

Hi Experts,
I need to know how many Logical systems we need to create when connecting an SAP XI and SAP R3 system.
details wht I configured is as follows :
For XI : LOGSYSXI assigned to 100 client
For R3: LOGSYSR3 assigned to 800 client.
Do I need to create two log'cal systems on one side?
How many logical systems can a Client can support simultaneously? is it only one or more that one?
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Sunil K Shetty

Hi,
>>>>I need to know how many Logical systems we need to create when connecting an SAP XI and SAP R3 system.
as you've noticed you only need 2 - one for r3 one for XI
this is enough

one per client

Where/how to troubleshoot external gateway and internal connection brokers etc.??????

We have gateway.domain.org as our external/internal gateway server.
It goes from gateway.domain.org to rdbroker.domain.local, rdbroker is the DNS address for two connection broker servers.
After this it should set up the connection and create a remote desktop to one of the RDS host servers in the RDS host farm.
Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't -- for different user accounts and different computers.
How to troubleshoot this??
We know the firewall rules for DMZ etc. etc. are properly configured because everything IS observed to work, just not all the time consistently. We get errors about cannot contact the computer, cannot establish remote desktop connection...
Thank you, Tom

Hi Tom,
Firstly, you need to recheck the DNS entry is well setup for your case. Are you using DNS RR for Load balancing the server or 3rd party load balancer? Have you setup the proper certificate for your case?
Please check whether required ports is opened? We need to open TCP port 443 and UDP port 3391 and forward them to your RD Gateway server. Also need to specify the external FQDN of your RD Gateway server in deployment properties under RDS server manager. If
you have RDWeb and RDG on the same server this would be the same FQDN that your users will use for RDWeb. Please see whether you have properly configured RD RAP and RD CAP policy.
You can go through beneath article for more details.

HT204291 3th. gen apple TV with 5.2.1 and mac mini with 10.8.3, only black screen on TV after selecting Apple TV on the airplay icon. how to troubleshoot?

I have a 3th Gen Apple TV and a late 2012 mac mini with IOS 10.8.3
- Connected thru HDMI to an ASUS monitor
- Apple tv connected with wire
- Mac Mini connected wireless.
- I can see the Airplay icon on the screen
- I can select my apple TV on the icon pull-down menu (first time it asked me for apple TV password)
- Once selected, my monitor resolution changes and apple TV goes to a blank screen. On the pull-down menu, my apple TV papears selected and the option "match desktop size to:" is selected for my Apple TV.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
Additional Info:
- I can stream from iTunes music with no problem
- From an Air (on same wireless network) I can mirror my display. And form iPad and iPhone I can stream video and music.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.
