Places not working correctly

I can't seem to get Places to work correctly. Here is what I do and what happens:
1) I shoot picts with a point and shoot and a handheld GPS. Dates and times are in synch. Time zone double-checked.
2) Import photos into Aperture.
3) Plug Garmin 60csx into Mac via USB. Choose track from today to import.
4) Nothing happens. Repeat #3 a total of three times. On the third time (I've done this several times and it is always on the third time) the track will appear in blue on the map. (Side note: moving the cursor along the track and looking at times--they seem correct. Double checking the time stamp on the images--they seem correct, too.)
5) I select the images and drag to the track line. Before I let go a little pop-up box comes up. It says "x hours" and below " -/+ y minutes". As I moved my mouse over the line the numbers of x and y change in irregular ways--or perhaps the fact that my track there and back is overlaid on top of itself is confusing me in some way.
6) I let go of the mouse. Dialog pops up asking if I want to assign photos based on time stamp. I click "Assign Location."
7) Pins then appear for each photo near where I had the cursor. Repeating this process, the pins always appear near the cursor, no matter where on the track I put the cursor, with the same images. The pins never appears at the correct location.
Missing something obvious, no doubt!
Thanks,

No Export options and Place not working correctly. InDesign CC 2014.

I cannot place a file into a frame with cmd+d or File > Place.
I get the preview on the cursor but won't place into a frame which I need to keep the frame effects and size options.
- Also -
I am not getting any options on Export - to change the output file type. Seems to be defaulting to PDF (print) in the dialogue box there is no dropdown.
How do I fix this?
I don't know how long this has been going on for as I don't use InDesign as much as other programmes but I am guessing since last update. I hate I am paying for this per month and have been sat on the phone and chat for over an hour waiting on a response. It is slowing my workflow down.
I am fully updated.

Sonata font on MacOS - not working correctly

Hi,
I just downloaded and installed the Sonata Standard OpenType file via FontBook in MacOS 10.9.2. So far the font is not working correctly in either MS Word or Apple Keynote -- I get standard qwerty letters rather than musical notation. Anyone ideas on how to fix/troubleshoot?
Thanks!

Hello RKmark,
Thank you for going through the process of using those custom keyboard layouts. It was my pleasure to work on those some years ago.
There is a reason why the placement of some characters on those custom layouts seems arbitrary: They were intended to replace the experience a user would have when using the same PostScript font, which was directly mapped to the characters available on the keyboard. Of course they could be re-arranged today – but that would mean opening a whole different project; and would probably question some of the semantics within Sonata.
Back to your problem:
I just tested the keyboard layout for Sonata, together with the Sonata OTF in InDesign, and I did not find any problems.
Of course this does not help you. So let me just describe what I did:
I copied the OTF file, to ~/Library/Fonts
I copied SonataStd.keylayout to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts
Admittedly, in OSX Mavericks it is a bit more complicated to install a custom keyboard layout:
In System Preferences, go to Keyboard and Input Sources.
Click the + button at the bottom left, scroll down the list and select “Others”.
In the list to the right, you will find a “SonataStd” keyboard layout, it has a grey icon. Click Add.
After adding this layout, you will be taken back on the Input Sources screen. Check the box next to Show Input in menu in menu bar if it is not yet active.
Back in InDesign, create a new text box, select SonataStd, and choose the SonataStd keyboard layout from the menu bar (marked by the flag of the country representing your keyboard).
Now you can begin typing. I could type the sixteenth-note-rest on a US keyboard with alt-x.
However, one thing I have observed:
If you have set any custom keyboard shortcuts in InDesign that are using the alt-key; they might get in the way of typing some of the symbols.
Which of the available symbols in Sonata are you missing in the custom keyboard layout? I tested them all, and could type everything.
What sometimes happens is that the keyboard layout will switch back to default (US in my case), which then looks like the Sonata keyboard layout is not working.
My personal opinion on this: The keyboard layouts are a nice idea for making glyphs accessible to users that don’t have a glyph palette, but they can be very confusing. They will interfere with the normal usage of the application and OS, since standard keyboard shortcuts will no longer work – simply because they rely on the standard keyboard layout of your system.
Personally, I would use the glyph palette in most cases, simply because switching keyboard layouts back and fort would get to tedious for me.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions.

I am having problems with my Canon S100 camera. The shutter is not working correctly.

I hope this is the right place to post a complaint about my Canon S100 camera's shutter not working correctly. My daughter purchased two of these cameras, one for me, and one for herself. Both cameras are having the same problem. I hope Canon can help us with this serious problem. What good is a camera if it does not take pictures?

Stephen (Canon),
I find it quite surprising that you do not respond to 28 pages of comments regarding this issue on the other thread and yet you directly comment here.
Seems to me that the problem arises after significant use as the contacts in the shutter switch corrode and do not get the contact that they once did. With many users this occurs just outside the 1yr warranty. However, it is clear that this is a design fault as opposed to natural 'wear and tear' and therefore I would expect that a company with Canon's reputation for excellent service would offer free repairs.
Can you please confirm if Canon are preparing a response on this issue?

Sorting not working correctly for date field in alv report

Hi All,
My report displays many rows also containing date type fields of bldat,budat .
When I sort the report selecting field of type bldat budat the sorting is not correct for the year.
Ex:
Invoice doc dat
01-25-2011
01-21-2011
02-02-2011
10-25-2010
11-20-2010
If I use ascending then it is sorted as :
Invoice doc dat
01-21-2011
01-25-2011
02-02-2011
10-20-2010
10-25-2010
Why the sorting is not working correct for year.(2010 records should have been first).
The field wa_tab-bldat is of type char10.
It is populated as wa_tab-bldat = bsak-bldat.
Kindly suggest what can be done.

The field wa_tab-bldat is of type char10
Then what it does is correct.
Refer to type datum...it will work

If statement within a view is not working correctly ?

Hi all,
maybe i am wrong but i think the if statement within a view is not working correctly. See code down below.
I would like to use the Hallo World depending on the page attribute isFrame with or without all the neccessary html tags. Therefore i have embedded the htmlb tags in an if statement. But for any reason if isframe is initial it isn't working. It would be great if anybody could help me.
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<% if not isframe is initial. %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
     <htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
<% endif. %>
hallo world
<% if not isframe is initial. %>
     </htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
<% endif. %>
thanks in advance and best regards
Matthias Hlubek

Matthias,
The short answer: your example is <b>NOT</b> going to work. The long answer will probably 5 pages to describe. So first let me rewrite the example so that it could work, and then give a short version of the long answer. Do not be disappointed if it is not totally clear. It is rather complicated. (See the nice form of IF statements that are possible since 620.)
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<% if isframe is <b>NOT</b> initial. %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
    hallo world
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
<% else. %>
hallo world
<% endif. %>
So why does your example not work? Let us start with a simple tag:
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
</htmlb:page>
Now, for each tag, we have effectively the opening part (<htmlb:page>), an optional body, and then the closing part (</htmlb:page>). We are now at the level of the BSP runtime processing one tag. What the runtime does not know, is whether the tag wants to process its body or not. Each tag can decide dynamically at runtime whether the body should be processed. So the BSP compiler generates the following code:
DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
CREATE OBJECT tag.
tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
ENDIF.
tag->DO_AT_END( ).
You should actually just debug your BSP code at ABAP level, and then you will immediately see all of this. Now, let us mix in your example with our code generation. First you simplified example:
<% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
<% endif. %>
<% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
</htmlb:page>
<% endif. %>
And then with our generated code. Look specifically at how the IF/ENDIF blocks suddenly match!
if isframe is NOT initial.
DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
CREATE OBJECT tag.
tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
endif.
if isframe is NOT initial.
ENDIF.
tag->DO_AT_END( ).
endif.
You can see that your ENDIF statements are closing IF blocks generated by the BSP compiler. Such a nesting will not work. This is a very short form of the problem, there are a number of variations, and different types of the same problem.
The only way to solve this problem, is probably to put the body into a page fragment and include it like I did above with the duplicate HelloWorld strings. But this duplicates source code. Better is to put body onto a view, that can be processed as required.

** Filtering is not working correctly in ALV (REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY)

Hi Friends,
We have one Z report that output is displayed in ALV. We are using the standard FM 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
We have requirement to remove leading zeros for the field like Material Number (MATNR), Equipment Number (EQUNR) etc. We did the changes by applying the field catalog properties as below.
lw_fieldcat-lzero = space.
lw_fieldcat-no_zero = 'X'.
After this, the MATNR and EQUNR is displayed correctly in the ALV. (Leading zeros are suppressed). But, when we do filter for these fields, in the filter window it displays all the values with leading zeros.
1. We don't understand why it is showing in the Filter widow with all leading zeros. All it shows all the records instead of unique items.
Later on, we removed the above fieldcat coding. Then, we have called the CONVERSION_EXIT routines (in the domain) for the fields to remove leading zeros.
Now, the MATNR and EQUNR is displayed correctly (without leading zeros) in ALV. When we do filter, it is also doing filtering correctly. But, when we do filter which have EQUNR having long values (after zero suppression), it is not working correctly. i.e no items are displayed in the ALV.
Not only for this items. If we filter character columns which have long text, it is not filtering correctly.
2. It is not able to understand why the filtering is not working for long items. But in the standard report, the filtering is working correctly.
We are using SAP ECC 6.0.
Friends, can you clarify the about doubts. It is surprising for me.
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.
Our customer is asked to remove the leading zeros for the numeric field

Hi Clemens Li
I agreed on your point. When we define the Internal table the type for element EQUNR & QUMNR , we are referring the SAP data element for EQUNR, QMNUM field.
Our doubt is even though we refer the standard data element, in the ALV display, it shows with leading zeros and also it creates problems in the filtering and in the filter window all values instead of unique nos.
Hi Abhii
I have given below the fieldcat coding.
Friends, can you kindly clarify the above said problems. Since we use SAP ECC 6.0 any notes or patches apply is required. ( this is the basic functionality in ALV, that is my doubt).
    wls_fieldcat-col_pos   = wpv_pos.
    wls_fieldcat-fieldname = wpv_champ.
    wls_fieldcat-tabname   = wlc_tabname.
wls_fieldcat-seltext_s = wls_fieldcat-seltext_m
    wls_fieldcat-seltext_l = wpv_libelle.
    wls_fieldcat-ddictxt   = 'L'.
    wls_fieldcat-no_out    = wv_no_out.
    APPEND wls_fieldcat TO gt_fieldcat.
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.

Key Figure calculation in Abap is not working correctly - Overlooping

Hi,
I wrote a logic to calculate the ratio of key figure but it is not working correctly
For example I have a requirement to split 1 Product into Several new Products and also the Net Amount will be splitted to these several new products as well. The total Amount of the new product will be equivalent to the Net Amount.
So far my Logic is splitting the product to several new products but the amount is incorrect as the calculation is over looping.
Sample
A PRODUCT has Net Amount 1000. And this product needs to be splitted into 3 new products. Each of this new product is assigned a ratio of 0.3, 0.2 and 0.7 respectively. total sum of the ratio is 1.
PRODUCT1 0.3 = 1000 * 0.3 = 300
PRODUCT2 0.2 = 1000 * 0.2 = 200
PRODUCT3 0.7 = 1000 * 0.7 = 700
The total amount of this new products is 1000.
Now my logic is working this way.
PRODUCT1 0.3 = 1000 * 0.3 = 300
PRODUCT2 0.2 = 1000 * 0.2 * 0.3 = 60
PRODUCT3 0.7 = 1000 * 0.2 * 0.3 * 0.7 = 42
Only the PRODUCT1 is working correctly and there is overlooping for the remaining products
Logic used

      APPEND t_data.

Hi,
I am not really good at debugging Abap code since I am a newbie. however I have tried to add CLEAR T_DATA before the first loop.
REFRESH T_DATA.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
ZIDX = SY-TABIX.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING DATA_PACKAGE TO T_DATA.
and before the second loop and select statement and at the end of the loop.
REFRESH T_NEWDSO.
SELECT * FROM NEWDSO INTO table T_NEWDSO WHERE PROD =
DATA_PACKAGE-PROD.
SORT T_NEWDSO BY PROD.
READ TABLE T_NEWDSO WITH KEY PROD = T_DATA-PROD.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
LOOP AT T_NEWDSO.
but then not all data are being fetched.

Email pushing not working correctly for office email - 3 seperate devices/carriers

We switched email hosts several months ago and since our email pushing has not worked correctly. Our host/IT guy has been very unwilling to help me through this (I get the pleasure of being the in-house IT source)
I personally am on AT&T have no problems with the other 3 emails I have set up on my blackberry. However I receive my work account one time a day at roughly 6:15. Another user is on Alltel and he receives spotty emails throughout the day, but his gmail account comes through instantly. The third user is on nextel and he receives his 2-3 times per day.
I began to think this was an email host issue since the three of us are all on different carriers, until I found out a fourth user, also on nextel, receives his emails fine.
Users 1-3 are on Outlook 07 on various versions of the Curve. We have all our messages to stay on the server.
User 4 is on the older nextel blackberry push to talk, and is not on outlook.
We do not have an exchange server. Our emails were all set up through our devices.
Any suggestions? The answers I have received through our carriers is to make sure that our messages are set to be left on the server. Everyone else at the office has given up - but for me this is the quest for the Holy Grail.......I'm determined find the answer!
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Potential solution for windows for a side-by-side install. This works for me.
To setup a firefox install side by side so that links from external programs (like email) can open (so you don't get a "Firefox is already running but is not responding" message) do the following.
The solution entails the use of the -no-remote switch. Don't use it for the default browser. Use it for the non default browser.
I'll use firefox 3.6 and firefox 4.0 as examples but this should work for future versions.
+ Install firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4.0 in different directories. Eg.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4\firefox.exe
+ Open profile manager. Start > Run : firefox.exe -ProfileManager
+ In profile manager create Two Profiles.
firefox3.6
firefox4
+ In profile manager select firefox 4 as your default (assuming you want to default to the latest) and tick "Don't ask at startup"
+ Create two windows shortcuts.
* General: Mozilla Firefox 4 (default). Shortcut > Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4\firefox.exe". Shortcut > Start In: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4"
* General: Mozilla Firefox 3.6. Shortcut > Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p firefox3.6 -no-remote. Shortcut > Start In: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
That's it. Links from external programs should now open in your default browser.

I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.

SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 Tab Delimited setup is not working correctly in Report Designer

I have changed a RSReportDesigner.config to add a tab delimited option for report export, but it is not working correctly in vs2008/vs2010 report designer. I get a duplicate of CSV (comma delimited) in the export dropdown list.
I have tested SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit professional.
It is working correctly in the report manager.
<Extension Name="TAB" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">

Hi Dave0323,
According to your description, you want to export your report into TXT file and change the delimiter to be a Tab. Right?
In Reporting Services, when exporting to a CSV file, we can change the default field delimiter to any character that we want, including TAB, by changing the device information settings in the configuration file. For example, to use TAB,
update the FieldDelimiter setting to <FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve">[TAB]</FieldDelimiter>. And we can change the FileExtension to be TXT if we want to export it into a TXT file. So in this scenario, we just need to modify the configuration
file like below:
The result looks like below:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Text formatting in Numbers is not working correctly.

In Numbers on Chrome text formatting is not working correctly, it's almost as if a CSS file is not being loaded. To be precise, when I try to make a cell Bold there is no bolding. I am using Arial as a font. This has been an issue on Mac and Windows. Any ideas?

Do you have the same problem with Safari or Firefox?

1st Gen iPod touch not working correctly?

I have a 1st generation 8GB iPod Touch. It's not working correctly.
My biggest problem is that, unexplaiably, certain areas of the screen don't seem to register touch anymore. There is a sort of "L" shape on the left and bottom edges of the screen that won't register touch, making it impossible to move applications to the previous page on the home screen and making it hard to use the keyboard/buttons while in portrait mode. It's extremely frustrating to try to change the volume while playing a song, as I now have to either put the iPod in sleep mode then double tap the home button or flip it to cover flow and double tap the home button to do it.
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e140/Vipershark/IMG_0001.png
(Highlight the image to see it better.)
This is a screenshot of the working/non-working areas that I made using the Whiteboard application. The white area that you see (excluding the little half circles of black which are extended brush strokes and not actually working areas) is the area that doesn't work. I can't seem to figure out why it happened, as I've never dropped or otherwise damaged it. It just happened one day, and I don't know why.
But I can't fix it. I've tried everything. Upgrading (I'm now running iPhone OS 3.0 which still didn't fix the problem.) didn't work, restoring didn't work, deleting everything and restoring from factory settings didn't work.
I'm also having a few other problems as well, though they're not as bad. My home button seems to stop working sometimes and sometimes the entire screen witll stop registering touch until I put the iPod to sleep and turn it back on. It also seems to go a lot slower than usual.
My iPod is less than a year old. Can you help?

Vipershark,
I had a very similar problem this past weekend with my 1G 8GB iPod touch. But with me, just the left side of the screen wasn't registering my touch. I could still access the bottom section, which you cannot.
The good news for me is that I fixed it and I hope it works for you as well. What fixed it for me was resetting all my settings. To do this, go to the settings icon, then click on general, and then on the very bottom is reset. Choose "reset all settings."
Apparently this is different than a restore through iTunes, which you tried. I also tried that earlier and it did not help.
Of course, the reset solution I used relies on you being able to access all of the correct buttons, so I hope you can!
Please let us know if this works for you. If not, since it is less than a year old, it is still under warranty. Contact Apple and see what they can do.

Function keys are not working correctly

I've been looking all over the various threads and I can't find an answer that solves my problem.
Here are the details:
I bought the computer in the U.S. where I live.
I have a iMac 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo EMC 2133 with a 20" screen. Bought it new in February 2008.
I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 (I am waiting for my order for OS Snow Leopard to come in!!)
I have been using a wireless mouse and Keyboard (Love not having cords!)
Recently, my wireless keyboard got a short and quit working. I went down to the apple store and got a new wireless keyboard.
I had the computer with me at the genius bar so, yes, the apple employee saw exactly what I have.
I took it all home got the thing all put back together and got the new keyboard paired up and working with the computer.
Here are the problems:
Went to go use the function keys while using iTunes and found they weren't working properly. The F10, F11 and F12 do not control the volume of sound as the keyboard indicates they would, they instead activate dashboard, spaces, and application windows.
Following the advice of other threads, I looked over in the system preferences and made sure the "Use all F1, F2 etc." box was unchecked (it was unchecked), things still didn't work.
I tried the fn key but it appears to not work at all it has no effect on the functioning of the function keys.
I went under keyboard shortcuts in system preferences and found the F10, F11 and F12 keys, it confirms that those keys control spaces, dashboard and application windows as they are performing but shows no options to either reassign to volume control (as marked on the keyboard) or make the fn key work.
I've gone back and forth trying various combinations of checked and unchecked boxes to see if anything would work, so far I've come up with nothing.
A couple more important or interesting facts:
Yes I have turned off and taken the batteries out of the old keyboard. My bluetooth connection currently shows it as disconnected.
I have restarted the computer.
One thing I find odd; when I go under preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse when I go under the section "Bluetooth" it shows Bluetooth mouse with the name of the mouse and the battery level. BUT nothing is showing up under bluetooth Keyboard, I can't figure out how to change this and don't know if it is contributing to the problem.
When I go under the bluetooth logo on the top bar I find the mouse and both keyboards referenced, the old keyboard is shown as disconnected and the other two are connected. I have tried to update the device's name but it doesn't seem to let me.
I have double clicked on the device under bluetooth and it shows the new keyboard as discoverable, paired and connected. Hence, I am using the new keyboard to write this inquiry.
Please, any assistance would be of great help. I have tried to be thorough in order help narrow the possible problem. Thanks!!

Just thought I'd let you know. Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected. I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800. So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.
