17" Grinder...Not the sandwich
Alright, So I've got a Powerbook that makes colorful grinding noise coming from the bottom right fan/harddrive area. This really scares me.
Details:
I'll be doing anything, then it hits, slowly at first, then it escalates into all kinds of problems. Typical example - focus my attention onto an safari, spins. Try to switch to another program, switch works, but then first command spins the program. Now I can't get a result from clicking anywhere. Hold power key. Violent and sad shut down. Restart. Grinding wheeze as my shiny paperweight takes a dying breath. By this point, nothing really happens, just noise and if I'm lucky, the verbose logging kicks in just in time to stop doing anything. I'll sit in disbelief for a moment or two before turning the machine off and walking off, wondering how on earth I shall deal with this.
Here's the kicker - I'll turn it off for the night or say another 24 hours, the machine boots up just fine and dandy, SMART Status is verified, passes the hardware test, I go on my merry way....for a month. Repeat at top.
Thus far, this cycle has happened to me three times (currently in meltdown phase, sadly looking upon greybook while using roommate's inferior whitebook). I was hoping (ironically) that after a few more meltdowns the problem would be consistent enough to show it to someone else and get repair credit, but to no avail.
So I guess my question is, has this happened to anyone before? I'm feeling like I if I take the hit and try to mail it off to Apple, I'm going to have some problems since the problem is not isolated, and, from what I can tell, near impossible to reproduce the problem controlled. How many components might I have to replace to get this frightening halt to my work to go away (best, worst, likely scenarios if you're feeling particularly ambitious, saint-like)?
Thanks.

Hi Charles--
Open the Console application and look in the console and system logs and see if there are any messages there about disk I/O errors at the time when this happens. If so, then your hard drive has bad blocks or worse. If there are errors there you can't understand, post them and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on...
In any case, I can't stress enough that you must make sure you have a good backup of important files.

When I launch Firefox it uses the phone UI not the tablet UI
There is a bug in Firefox 9 that causes it to use the non-tablet UI on tablets running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). This is fixed in Firefox 10: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708772
You can download a Firefox 10 pre-release version from the [https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta beta channel] today. The final version will be published to the release channel next week. -
I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise
They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8 -

How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?
how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.
Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
ZOOMING:
Zoom into the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
SNAPSHOT
Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
Hope this helps! -
Is it possible to add markups to a PDF that I am not the author of
Most of the PDFs I generate are from other applications (like Autocad) where I "print to PDF" to create the file. Most of the PDFs I recevie are generated the same way. Prior to Acrobat Reader 8, it was simple for me and my collueges to exchange information on these PDFs by using markup tools and resending them with markups. Since Acrobat 8 has come along, I now find it impossible to markup a drawing (no matter if I have created it using Print to PDF or if someone has sent it to me). I went to the knowledge base and see that the drawing has to be enabled for markup in one of 2 ways
In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.
Start the wizard to initiate a shared review or an email-based review and follow the on-screen instructions. When you’re finished, commenting is enabled in the PDF that you specify for the review.
Well, there is no Comments selection in my toolbar. Second method is given by
Quickstart: Start an email review
An email-based review lets you track review status and merge received comments into the PDF.
Click Review & Comment and choose Attach For Email Review.
If prompted, enter your identity information to create a reviewer profile.
Follow the on-screen instructions to select the PDF, invite reviewers, and send the email invitation.
If your email application doesn’t send email automatically, you may need to answer alert messages and switch to your email application to finish sending the message
But there is no Review & Comment button to click.
So, can someone tell me, can I still do a simple markup of any PDF? Even if I have to jump through hoops can I? I guess I can understand Why Adobe has done away with this feature in their free tool, as they were not getting any revenue off of it, but it greatly diminishes the usefulness of Acrobat Reader and therefore all PDFs for me.
Thanks in advance for your response.To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file. -
When in ma-vitalrecords.org, I put in the county and town and then went to the names. It pulls up the last name, but the rest of the information does not show, such as the child's name, date of birth, and parents. When I am at the library or other's homes, this information shows. This is not the only website that this does this. Sometimes if I hover the arrow over where the words should be, I can see the information down in the status bar. On the above website it did not.
Hi,
I have the same experience. I've been narrowing down causes, but it's NOT because you're not connected to Wifi. It seems to be intermittent. For expample, I'm connected to WIFI right now. Some messages or pix that were viewable yesterday are not viewable now and others aren't. All of the messages and their attachments are available from my laptop. If I try again later, I'll be able to see different downloads than what I can see now. What's odd is all of them worked just right a few weeks ago -
anyone can you help my earphones are not working on my iphone4 and i know its not the earphones has just bought new pair and no joy I can not play, stop, forward to different tracks or anything cant answer call nothing end of ideas can anyone help pretty please
Yes there genuine apple earphones I have now blown down jack slot and silly enough I turned my phone off and now it's back on earphones working properly now feeling a wee but silly as such a simple thing got them working.
Thank you guys and I know where to come again if I need any further assistance.
Again thank you everyone -
ColdFusion 11: cfclient in the context of the CFML language, not the tooling
G'day:
I am reposting this from my blog ("ColdFusion 11: <cfclient> in the context of the CFML language, not the tooling") at the suggestion of Adobe support:
@dacCfml @ColdFusion Can you post your queries at http://t.co/8UF4uCajTC for all cfclient and mobile queries.— Anit Kumar Panda (@anitkumar85) April 29, 2014
I have edited this in places to remove language that will be deemed inappropriate by the censors here. Changes I have made are in [square brackets]. The forums software here has broken some of the styling, but so be it. There is worthwhile discussion in the comments of the article on my blog: perhaps go have a read.
G'day:
This article could end up being a complete waste of space, as I am operating under more real-world re-interpretation of the raison d'être of <cfclient>, as described by Ram:
ColdFusion [11] has added support for client side CFML (<cfclient>) and this code is translated to JavaScript
Mike Henke has pointed out that the first part of this "CF11 has added support for client-side CFML" is actually ******** (my wording, not his):
"ColdFusion Splendor has added support for client side CFML" is probably phrased wrong and gave me flash backs to VBScript or CFML running in the client browser.
Maybe this is better verbiage. "ColdFusion Splendor has added support for CFML to generate JS".
Because... there's not such thing as "client-side CFML". That would imply CFML actually running on the client (ie: the browser, or the mobile device, as is the target of <cfclient> as a concept). This is absolutely not true. I know Ram went on to qualify what he meant there, but the messaging from Adobe on <cfclient> has been inaccurate. Possibly I think to the point of actual misrepresentation (in the legal sense, I mean).
What <cfclient> does is... convert CFML code to JavaScript. So let's look at that idea.
Why I say this article could be a complete waste of space is that I dunno if this is the intent of <cfclient>; because, really, the messaging from Adobe as to what <cfclient> is for is very muddied. In general the narrative about it is bundled-in with various features of ColdFusion Builder 3.0, in regards to mobile application creation and packaging (and debugging, and all sort of stuff that sounds quite nice but I don't care about as I don't use CFB).
However <cfclient> has to stand on its own merit in the CFML language, completely decoupled from CFB features. And as far as I can tell, Mike is right: as far as CFML goes, <cfclient> is a tag which tells ColdFusion to - instead of compiling to byte code - compiles the enclosed CFML code to JavaScript instead.
This of course just sets my alarm klaxons going. Because Adobe are (I choose my words carefully) [not very good] at converting CFML to client-side code. This has been borne out by <cfform>, <cflayout>, <cfpod> etc. Back in the days of CFMX7 the "CFML-to-client-side" wizards had some merit, because the client-side arena was still immature, and the team at Macromedia actually had some exposure to the idea of "website development", so they knew where the pain points were that they could possible ameliorate. Times have changed, and the client-side of things is probably now more mature an environment than CFML is - Javascript is probably are more coherent language than CFML is, now - and it is very very very clear that the current Adobe ColdFusion Team don't know the first thing about web development (they can't even write decent CFML for their own documentation, before we get onto how they'd be doing web work!), so they are completely out of their depth when it comes to addressing pain points that web devs might have these days. Not only have they not walked a mile in a web dev's shoes, they don't even - as far as I can tell - know what shoes are, or why someone would be wearing them.
And <cfclient> is a far more "meta" solution than <cfform> or <cfpod> were... at least the CFML-to-client-side solution there had a tangible target in mind. <cfclient> has removed the targets, and is just a tag designed for converting general CFML to general JS. Yikes.
600-odd words in, here's some code. This is the first-ever code I have written using <cfclient>:
<cfclient> <cfset msg = "G'day World"> <cfoutput>#message#</cfoutput> </cfclient>
So I'm off to a false start: I admit I'm sitting in the pub and I've had a few pints (probably four, I guess; this is "having some drinks before deciding to actually drink this evening" sort of level for me), and I inadvertently [messed-up] my variable names here. And this did not yield a compile error. The error just fell through to JS, where it did error
Uncaught ReferenceError: message is not defined gdayWorld.cfm:4
If, in contrast, I tried this in CoffeeScript, I'd get this:
coffee> msg = "G'day world"
'G\'day world'
coffee> alert msg
undefined
coffee>
alert message
ReferenceError: message is not defined
at eval (eval at (http://larryng.github.io/coffeescript-repl/js/main.js:96:26), :1:9)
Important note: I know nothing about CoffeeScript - it seems like a solution to a non-existent problem to me - so I just googled "hello world coffeescript" and REPLed the code on http://larryng.github.io/coffeescript-repl/.
The point is here is that ColdFusion, during the "compile" process should actually notice I am referencing a variable that doesn't exist. I'm OK with this being a runtime error in the normal CFML-compile process, because there could be many moving parts (and other files) involved in the runtime environment, but I don't think this is a valid notion with <cfclient>? Or maybe it is?
Update:As Ray points out and Aaron agrees with below: I was being unduly harsh here... it's entirely reasonable for variables to be declared in other JS code elsewhere in the response.
Anyway, once I actually write my code properly, I get this:
G'day World
On the screen. What CF actually sends back in the response is this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/cfclient/cfclient_main.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/cfclient/cffunctions.js"></script> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> <script type='text/javascript'>globalDivStruct=null;var _$gdayWorld_func=function(){var self=this;var variables={};self.__init=function(){var localdivstruct=globalDivStruct;var __output_var="";var tmpVarArray={};message="G'day World";localdivstruct.outputvar+=message;return""}}; function __startPage__$gdayWorld(){document.write("\x3cdiv id\x3d'__cfclient_0'\x3e\x3c/div\x3e");window.ispgbuild=false;var clientDivStruct={divId:"__cfclient_0",outputvar:""};globalDivStruct=clientDivStruct;try{_$gdayWorld=new _$gdayWorld_func;_$gdayWorld.__init()}catch(__eArg){if(__eArg!=="$$$cfclient_abort$$$")throw __eArg;}__$cf.__flush(clientDivStruct)}__startPage__$gdayWorld(); </script>
[Blimey]. To output a string variable? Really? That's what you compile my CFML down to?
Gobsmacked.
And [forget] emotive things like "gobsmacked"... if one looks at the size of the response, it's 128kB to represent "G'day World" on the screen. 128kB might not be a great deal these days when it comes to a web page, but when it comes to rendering "G'day world", it's lunacy. And on a mobile phone - which intrinsically might be in an area in which one is paying a premium for data - it's just irresponsible. This is before we get to the point that it seriously should not take 128kB of data to render 11 bytes.
Blimey. To be honest I was gonna try some more tricky CFML and see how it compiled, but I've run out of will to live (and I have to concede the beer is getting the better of me, and my laptop battery is almost dead). I'll continue this, but I will let this article stand or fall on its own merit; something <cfclient> certainly seems to be unable to do, thusfar.
I'll be back on the case with this tomorrow.
AdamThe functions defined in the cffunctions.js are not namespaced. If it is namespaced, you would have to add the namespace while using a function inside cfclient.
These functions are not namespaced, so that you can use the same syntax for using a function inside and outside the cfclient block.
This is indicative of everyone's concern that you guys would just implement / encourage poor practice in your <cfclient> implementation.
How is it - given you're "compiling" the CFML anyway - you cannot translate source code that says "listlen()" into "compiled" JS that is CF.listLen() or something? Thus good CFML can be translated into good JS.
You seem to think that there's a one-to-one mapping between what the CFML says and what the resultant JS needs to be.
You've basically written a mechanism for a CFML developer to write bad JavaScript.
Well done.

In PDF to Excel conversion dates like 03/12/15 convert to Dec 3rd 2015 not the correct date of Mar 12th 2015 whereas date 03/13/2015 converts correctly as March 13th 2015
Hi DirTech,
Are both of these dates in the same Excel file? If they're in different files, are you choosing the same language for OCR (optical character recognition)?
If they are in the same PDF file, how was that PDF file created? Was it created from a third-party application (rather than an Adobe application)? If it was created by a third-party application, it could be that it wasn't written to spec, and that's why you're seeing some oddities in the PDF > Excel conversion. (See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.)
Best,

Can not update tab if its not the default sub-tab.
Can not update tab if its not the default sub-tab.
JDeveloper Version 10.1.2.1.0 (Build 1913)
Hi. I have a problem with a lovOpenWindowAction
The UIX is created with a master UIX and have several sub-tab that is included as UIX-pages.
The lovOpenWindowAction lies in the included UIX-page
The sub-tab I have a problem with has a table with users. Then I have a Create New button than I want to click on and select a new user that should be included in the table in the sub-tab.
When I click on the button I open a LOV-window. Here I select the user that I want to add.
In the LOV Action-class I save my new value in the database. Then in the method onLovUpdate I update the iterator with the new values from the database.
But in my GUI the subtab is not updated until I click on it.
But if I make the subtab the default subtab then it all works just fine and the GUI is updated directly.
Here is the code for the tableAction in the subtab. This code lies in an included UIX-page. Target is the table id.
<tableActions>
<button text="Create New" id=" createNewRollperson" accessKey="N">
<primaryClientAction>
<lovOpenWindowAction destination="FiskeRollpersonerLOV.do"
source=" createNewRollperson "
targets="joinedRollpersfiskeer message"/>
</primaryClientAction>
</button>
</tableActions>
Here is some code from the master UIX-page
<subTabLayout id="flikar">
<subTabs>
<subTabBar selectedIndex="${ui:defaulting(param.index,0)}">

<link id="resorFlik" text="Resor"

What am I missing?? I cant have this subtab as the default subtab! Please help me with a solution!hi,
Change the condition type to manual entry.

for example delivery costs will be different at the time of PO and actual delivery costs then at the time of invoice we select planned delivery costs and settle them first with the actual delivery cost.

I had Adobe FLASH 11 but it did not play any videos, so I was prompted to download the version before it (10.) but it will not let me download it since it is not the latest/most current version of the program. How do I get a version that will actually work?
You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Log-on client 200 is not the same as BI clients "600"
Hi Experts,
My data load got failed and when i checked the error message, it says " Log-on client 200 is not the same as BI clients "600"".
Diagnosis
You are using client-dependent BI functions in client 200. However, the standard BI client is 600.
System Response
The function is terminated.
Procedure
Maintain a destination in the BI standard client. For information, see SAP Note 522569.
I went through the sap note and checked the maintenance of rfc desination. But not able to uderstand this issue. Do anyone have good idea about this issue.
Thanks in advance.
AnandHi,
In BW, you must work on only client. As the error said, you log on to client 200, but using 600 client as the connected one. Please check the source system conncection whether it is given for the default client in RSADMINA table BWMANDT field or not. if not change that.
