10.5.3 General Malaise

Since updating to 10.5.3 I've suffered a series (read a significant amount) of app crashes and "unresponsiveness" from all my apps and OSX in general - it hangs when I try and copy large files from one drive to another, among other things. I had to restart my G5 today SIX times. I'm really surprised. While I would love to have this OS work, to be honest, this system hasn't been stable since 10.4.11.
I did a clean install of 10.5 back in November but do I really need to do another one? I'm holding off in the hopes of upgrading to an intel mac in the next month or so. I even upgraded from 2 gigs to 6 gigs of ram hoping that would help - not so much. When my Mac works, I absolutely love it, when crap like this happens consistently and persistently it's really aggravating.

This boards is for problems, not for "lucky" people.
Just about all the posts on all the boards in all the Apple forums are from people with problems, just like all the people in a doctor's office need help. Nobody would conclude that humans are all basically sick, based on a visit to a hospital, would they?
But there are millions of Leopard users out there who never post and never have any issues.
Do not use these boards to generalize on Leopard's issues, but rather to see how few there really are.
People do not come here to say "It works," or the boards would be Standing Room Only.
This is a user-to-user assistance board, and everyone expects to see issues.
Also note how many Stars are issued to many of these issues.
And also read the "Solved" posts to find that most of these issues were user-related, not because of the update.
The only issue I know of, and so does Apple, is a random TM backup failure which is easily fixed by manually selecting "backup now" and even then, I have only had this error 3 times since installing 10.5.3. I have three machines running 10.5.3 and none of them have any major issues.

Sudden system slowdown, start up and software functional issues

The following happened when I started up my iMac in the morning. The only thing I did the night before that was outside my normal email/browsing/dreamweaver routine was to plug in my iPad to update apps and download an instagram phone app. iTunes did take me to my billing login and asked me to confirm CVV code which I hadn't expected. It told me I was using a different computer than the one I usually use - I wasn't. Other than that, nothing seemed out of the ordinary all evening
Following morning symptoms as follows
Start up
Slow start up grey screen with progress bar and wheel which leads to a log on screen. Normally no progress bar and no need to login.
Desktop appears but the 20 or so files and folders take a while to appear. The Finder bar top of screen does not appear until I click on the Finder icon in the dock. Wacom tablet doesn't function and preferences for the wacom when clicked throws up a warning " Wacom tablet driver has a problem - reboot system or reinstall or update the driver. Items that usually start up such as Skype and stickies do not open automatically. Icons that would normally appear on the finder bar top screen such as dropbox and sophos do not appear.
Other behaviours
Clicking a link to a web article from an email throws up the prompt "You are opening the application 'Firefox' for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?"
Documents in Pages appear blank
All operations are slow/delayed
Disk Utility: Verifying disk permissions shows about 1200 permission errors. Repaired them, verifyed again and it looks like they are all still wrong.
Tried running sophos but it seems to sit in 'Calculating...' mode and doesn't indicate it has scanned any files.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here, what might have caused it and what the best course of action might be? Please note, I will be going away on holiday for a week on Sunday, so I will not be able to respond to anyone between the 14th and 20th April.
Thanks
Also just removed sophos and downloaded it anew. The install is taking an age - it's been 15 minutes now. Could be part of the general malaise or maybe it just isn't going to install.

If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test.
Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

Atlanta service degradation?

Has anyone else noticed a serious service degradation in Atlanta in the last couple of months? I've had problems that I haven't seen since my early days with my first iPhone.
Things like:
--A long time to connect a call (or sometimes the call doesn't go through at all.)
--Little or no available bandwidth in areas I used to have no trouble. Mostly this just results in timeouts when trying to access something online.
I'm just trying to figure out if this is unique to me or a general malaise.
Thanks, Jeff

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

2 iPads, but can only connect one iPad at a time to my home network. Is this a known issue with Mac/iPads in general?

At home I have a HP PC, netbook and Sony laptop with no connection issues. Last year I bought an iPad 1 for my wife. This year I bought an iPad 2 for myself. However, only one iPad can connect to the wifi home network at a time. If I am using the iPad2 then the iPad1 fails to connect to the internet. if the iPad1 is being used then the iPad2 cannot connect. I tried resetting iPad network settings for both, reset router, and updated both iPads to latest software/firmware yesterday. Right now the only iPad that shows any connection is the iPad1. The iPad2 does not see the home network or any other outside network. Any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this? It is odd the network issues only affect the iPad's.

@dananova,
It sounds like you need to either increase the number of dynamic IP addresses your router will hand out or change some of your devices to static IP addresses.
Check the router manual on how to change the dynamic IP range of your router. If you don't have a manual, you can go to Belkin's website and download it.
To change the IP address of your iPads to static addresses, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the ">" next to the name of your wireless network. DHCP should be highlighted. Write down the all the settings on the screen. Next tap the Static button. Enter the exact same information that you copied from the DHCP screen with the exception of the last 3 digits of the IP address. Enter a new 3 digit number in this spot. Generally the original IP address will end with a low number such as 009, so pick a number that is not that low but less than 255. I would suggest a range of 240 to 250, unless the original IP range falls near this range. Also make sure you use a different 3 digits for each device you set to use a static IP address.

Ipod Touch 1st Generation General Questions.

I just read where the 1st generation Ipod Touch cannot upgrade software past 3.1.3. SO I assume all of the Apps I have seen and some I have downloaded that state I need newer software are not useable on the Touch I have?
Oh man it appears I got something which is basicaly useless other then playing music like my Ipod Nano can do.
Can I load any Books on the Ipod Touch?
Where can I get information as to what the limits I have with this Ipod Touch 1st Generation so I can get an Idea of what I can do and what I cannot do so I am not sitting trying to achive something that it is not capable of?
I also do not want to irritate the heck out of the community by asking questions or trying to fix errors I think I have when in reality my Ipod is not designed to do the task in the first place.
I do see Wifi on my Ipod Touch but it does not appear to connect even when I use the correct password so I assume it is limited or has to have a Specific Security setup in teh Router to connect properly and would like th know that.
I read some of the Software 3.1 Manual but it does not really go into detail as far as wifi connections just the bare basics which I know I did correct.
I am thinking that it cannot connect to WPA/WPA2 Security and I will have to Dummy down my Wifi Security to accomidate the Ipod Touch is this correct and where can I get this Information also?
I bought this Used and have no Box or any Information about it at all.
Thanks again

One if you can find an app that support the book format. Many book are available in non-DRM pdfs and I think you can find an app that will read pdfs. As you likely know, iBooks is not compatible with the 1G
Where can I get information as to what the limits I have with this Ipod Touch 1st Generation so I can get an Idea of what I can do and what I cannot do so I am not sitting trying to achive something that it is not capable of?
I know of no such document or site.

For wifi problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
The last should identify what encryption works with the 1G.

Hello, didnt really know hwere to post this guess it more belong under like "computers" generally,
but! For a while...
(-THE LONGER VERSION) :
No whait!, let me start where it all began, 2009, a december (erhh.. iii think? Hwatever!) litlle me hwere nearly Totally blank to the computer world. And suddenly it stood there on the table, a shining (it was shining back there) new "hp pavillion entertainment pc" with its smell of fresh plastic mixed hwith the strong smell from the cardboardbox, remember it as if it were yesterday
... Since then.... I have today a good solid pc knowing! (at more advance level cmd,bott menu, recovery, blah, blah... NERD!) here at the last awhile, ive prommised to make a lot! A lot of video projects!
(okay 2, but some big ones!) avchd multilayer 2 hours!!!!
So the poor hp laptop -dual core i2 4gb ram, has been begged to it knees! And simply cant handle it of course! and it have just trough time benn loaded with lots of crap, and is extremly noisy, heat, slow, anoying = unusable!
SO hwat i need is...
(-THE SHORTER) :
A computer setup that will EASILY! could handle stuff like that (avchd, multilayer, 2 hours project) -and simmilar. A total power machine! But Im tired of windows! And ugly cheap looking design! The times have changed and i change with them!
NOW I WANT APPLE!!
But but but... Hwat should i get????
1. Im NOT a billionare!
2. I repeat: NOT a billionare!
3. I also need portability for every day use beyond the hardcore creative editing and use
AT LAST:
i saw in front of me this genius plan... With a macbook pro, a tuned one, with as much of ram,cpu,gpu, and everything else as it can posibble have
-the perfect combination of transportabillity, everydayuse and total power!
When it gets combine with,
A cinemadisplay
A extra keyboard
And a extra magic mouse
And this power macbook pro, with screen, mouse, and keyboard i've found a really good offer at.
MY ACTUAL QUESTION.... :
Now it is yours turn to please! be creative! Please! Hwat does all you genius heads! think and say?
WILL A super tuned MACBBOK PRO COMBINED WITH ACCESSORIES, AT ALL, BE ABLE TO REPLACE A STRONG MAC PRO, OR AT LEAST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR REALLY HEAVY STUFF? And if yes, HOW strong actually (ram,cpu,gpu...) will it need to have to be "more than enough"?
If no, what would all of you then suggest that is perfect in relation to everything?
PLEASE ANSWER!!

No,
the MacPro is the muscle machine and not constrained by power or cooling limitations like the MacBoo Pro is.
OR AT LEAST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR REALLY HEAVY STUFF?
If you press the MacBook Pro like a desktop machine, it will blow fans like a hurricane but will do the job eventually.
The longer you blow fans on a laptop, the sooner it clogs up with crippling dust and shortens the life of the machine.
You'll need the top end 15" or better, not the 13" as it has no dedicated graphics, only CPU graphics.
Preferably if you just now getting into video, you should be considering Avid on a Windows 7 tower, it's because Apple has been ignoring the MacPro for hardware updates to improve it and it seems like they don't want to carry it anymore. Also the last Final Cut Pro version had Hollywood up in arms as Apple removed a lot of required abilities to make it more "consumer friendly" which upset the Pro market who likes control.
Apple is focusing on the consumer computing market and getting away from the "Pro" market which needs the heavier hardware to handle video needs. They stopped selling the X-RAID and the X-Server, so Apple really isn't a "computer" company any longer.
Sure you can use a MacBook Pro and a external monitor for doing home movies and such occasionally, but if your into serious production you need to consdier other options now.
There is nothing wrong in getting a MacBook Air and a Windows 7 professional video tower too.

Update of BP General Data during creation of BP

Hi,
I am currently using BADI ADDRESS_CHECK to perform an external check in a 3rd party application using XI to check if the customer name/address is flagged as a "denied party".
This works fine and returns the correct response if the check finds a denied party.
However, if this is the case ie. a denied party I want this to set some BP data accordingly during the same BP maintenance.
The data I need to set is as follows:
1. BP central block (general data)
2. BP status needs to be set
I have located function module BUP_MEMORY_BUT000_FILL that I am calling with a BP structure with the necessary block set to 'X' but it does not seem to do anything.
Can anyone provide details on how to call this function module to set BP general data during a create or a change of a BP as I must be missing something.
Also, can anyone tell me what the equivalent function module is for BP status data ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Colin.

HI
You cud use the following BAPI's for BP general data
BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE
Have a look at the function group:BUBA_4 in package :BUPA
For status you could use the following
CRM_BUPA_FRG0050_CHANGE
CRM_BUPA_FRG0050_Create
CRM_BUPA_FRG0050_GET_DETAIL
CRM_BUPA_FRG0050_SAVE_COMMIT

Capture Video FCExpressHD 3.0.1-General Error

I have an iMac G5 pre intel with 2.5 gb or Ram, My camera is a Panasonic DVG60 it has been capturing video fine until today ( 30 hrs) It is now giving me a GENERAL ERROR when I try to capture video. I can capture files in iMovieHD OK, and import them to FCE, but I need the timecodes to edit as when I shot I recorded specific timecodes and it is 1 1/2 hrs worth of video to edit. I have reinstalled FCE 3.0.1 and still no correction. I also tried to as a suggestion on this group said take out the receipts to QT 7. and I did still no go.

If..then..else statement in SQL with 'generalized' conditions in the if sta

it is possible to write something approaching an if..then..else statement in SQL with 'generalized' conditions in the if statement.
Attached is the query for the payment register, in which I've written a series of decode statements, one for each possible value of the payment code. The query works OK - however, its specific and as the number of paycodes expand (and they do), the report won't pick up the new paycode until the code is changed. More importantly, the report won't be correct until someone 'discovers' that a paycode is missing, which might take months.
If I were writing the equivalent of this series of decode statements in Focus, it would be something like this:
DEFINE.......
PAYMED/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD LE 18
               THEN PAYMENT_AMT
               ELSE 0 ;
PAYIND/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 19 AND PAYMENT_CD LE 49
               THEN PAYMENT_AMT
               ELSE 0 ;
PAYEXP/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 70
               THEN PAYMENT_AMT
               ELSE 0 ;
PAYREC/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 50 AND PAYMENT_CD LE 69
               THEN PAYMENT_AMT
               ELSE 0;

As you can see, this is both much easier to write and covers the possibility of expansion of paycodes (expansions always fit in these defined ranges).
My question is, then, is it possible to write something like this in SQL and, if so, could you give me some sample code? (I'm one of those people who learn best from looking at the code as opposed to a set of instructions)

Here is one way you could do it.
Create a table that has columns like:
Payment_code varchar2(2),
Effective_Date Date,
Payment_type varchar2(20),
Expiration_Date Date)
Payment type for example could be
I- indemnity
M- medical
R- recovery
E- expenses
Let the table name for example be PAYMENT_CODE.
The select query would look like
SELECT ACCOUNT_NAME,
LOCATION_1,
CLMNT_LAST_NAME,
CLAIM_NBR,
DATE_OF_INJURY,
DATE_CHECK_REGISTER,
PAYEE_NAME_1,
PAYMENT_CD,
SERV_OFC,
CPO_CHECK_NBR,
PAYMENT_FORM,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'E',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) expenses,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'I',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) indemnity,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'M',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) Medical,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'R',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) recoveries,
DECODE(PAYMENT_FORM, 'N', PAYMENT_AMT, NULL) NONCASH
FROM &INPUT_TABLES,
PAYMENT_CODE P
WHERE P.PAYMENT_CODE = SOMEINPUT_TABLE.PAYMENT_CODE
and other conditions
The idea is to group all the payment codes into a few groups to reduce the clutter. If there is ever a change to the payment code, you could modify the table and it will be reflected in your select query.

Incoming calls bypass the general iphone lock

Although I've set up the general lock on my IPhone 3G, incoming calls bypass the mechanism and make the phone accessible by anyone who picks it up. Is there a way to require a passcode for receiving calls....I want to block all access to my phone!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Message was edited by: chiroguy2pittsburgh

You'll find that with the iPhone locked, an incoming call will not allow access to the phone, i.e. you can only answer and talk, not access the phone OS.

Need general advice on package selection regarding java

Hi,
I have done a course in programming and covered some of the many areas of java ..... Since finishing that course I have been on and off java . I have used jbuilder9 and also briefly used some other IDEs. Anyway in the past I have done some simplistic graphics programming such as a ball bouncing across the screen. The thing is im planning on writing a small snooker or pool game , Im really determined and I want it to be a structured learning experience ....where Im using objects,interfaces and such. The thing is ....in college the graphical aspects of a program never stretched much beyond using what is provided by the jbuilder IDE. What I want to do is build a pool game but use my own classes and interfaces where appropriate and I was wandering what the best way to do it would be? .....Its a kind of general question so I will try and elaborate....Im willing to get into the ins and outs of understanding the code its just that Im not so sure jbuilder is the correct software to use for this kind of thing, especially with the fact that I want my code to 100% be my own .....e.g NO or very little auto generated stuff. Doing it this way will probably be inefficient but I feel I will grasp javas many complexities by having less "Bells & Whistles" so to speak :-) .....I want to do everything from creating an initial background frame to coding a class ball for the pool balls and somehow dealing with all the angles that a ball can be hit from.
Is there any sites anyone could recommend that cover the coding of a java game from scratch ......and also uses the functionality of java by immplementing interfaces , classes and explaining there purpose as they go?
Also a site with an install guide for whatever software is recommended would be great :-)
I was going to use netbeans 4.0 buy when I click for documentation on an error it says something about "cannot find javadoc documentation. check platform manager to make sure the documentation is added" .......you see I am used to being able to click on an error and get a whole wealth of information about that error or relevant tutorials(such as in jbuilder.....I want good instant error documentation like this).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.......also bearing in mind that I want to be able to use my own code without having to understand an ide inside out.......although I want to use one all the same .....:-)

Is there any sites anyone could recommend that cover
the coding of a java game from scratch ......and also
uses the functionality of java by immplementing
interfaces , classes and explaining there purpose as
they go?I belive there is a nice tutorial on here, and several if you google, but there is a very good listing in the Java Games Developement forum--this subject comes up there often. There are also listing of 3rd party packages that will help with vaious tasks, such as, graphics.
Also a site with an install guide for whatever
software is recommended would be great :-)Install guides are generally supported by the specific tool you wish to use.
I was going to use netbeans 4.0 buy when I click for
documentation on an error it says something about
"cannot find javadoc documentation. check platform
manager to make sure the documentation is added"
.......you see I am used to being able to click on an
error and get a whole wealth of information about
that error or relevant tutorials(such as in
jbuilder.....I want good instant error documentation
like this). for netbeans you need to install the Java Docs seperate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.......also
bearing in mind that I want to be able to use my own
code without having to understand an ide inside
out.......although I want to use one all the sameI use NetBeans and find it does as well as most others I've tried--especially the free ones. There are several to meet your tastes and preferences, i always recomend try a few and see what you like. For a list of IDE's do a search in this forum, the topic comes up several times a year.
