3D Graphs: various issues

I had some issues when I first tried to use LV 5.1's 3D Graph. The NI
applications engineer who helped me was great. Just wanted to share some
tips:
1: In LV 5.1 but not in LV 6: if the user reinitializes to default, the
3D Graph stops working!
NI: "that's because the reinitialize to default incorrectly sets the
graph's refnum to 0, which is an invalid refnum."
Work-arounds:
* use LV 6.
* customize the menu to hide the reinitialize to default option.
* don't show the menus when running so the user can't accidentally
reinitialize to default.
* use a different VI which will call VI Server to programmatically
reinitialize your VI to default.
2: In LV 5.1 but not in LV 6: the graph does not appear in the
executable! Fix: search you
r system for a "ole_lv5container.dll". It
should be located in the
...\LabVIEW\RESOURCE
directory or in the \LabVIEW\shared\LabVIEW Runtime\5.1\ folder. Place a
copy of this DLL in the same directory as your executable.
3: The 3D Graph will update more quickly if you:
* Reduce the volume of data you pass to it.
* Get the best hardware you can.
* Don't do anything else to compete for the graphics / CPU.
* Change the color depth. To my surprise, the screen updated faster at
16-bit color than 256-color. I suspect that the CPU has to dither the
colors into the smaller palette, and that slows down the update.
* Changing screen resolution (1024*768, etc.) also made 50% difference.
* Right-click the graph, choose Properties, & check the "Use 3D
Acceleration" and "Fast Draw for Zoom/Pan/Rotate" options.
These are my findings, your results may vary depending on h-w & drivers.

I upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues. Neither Pages or Numbers will open. I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone.

I upgraded my "new ipad" (the 3rd generation I think) to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues.
1- Neither Pages or Numbers will open. I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone. The icon that allows me to create a new document also does not appear. I went to icloud.com to see whether my documents still existed, which brings me to the 2nd problem.
2- It appears that all of my Pages documents are still on icloud, but all of my Numbers documents are gone. There were only about 10, but I access 2 of them nearly every day, so this is a big issue for me.
I went into Settings and all of the icloud information is correct and it "Documents & Data" is on. When I look at the storage, I see the Pages documents but not the Numbers ones. The next thing I did was turn my ipad off and back on, but this didn't fix anything. Since my Pages documents are still on icloud, I then tried to delete the Pages app from the ipad so that I could reinstall it, which resulted in the 3rd problem.
3- I cannot delete any apps. I can get all of the icons to shake and the small x IS available, but everything freezes when I click it. I can't do anything at that point except reset the ipad or wait until it eventually restarts itself. I've tried this with Pages as well as multiple other apps, all with the same result. I've also tried downloading a new app (which worked fine) and then deleting that one, but I got the same result.
3a- A small related issue to this that I am far less concerned about is that when the ipad restarts itself, it comes back on and the screen is really dark and I can barely make out what appears on the screen. If I enter my password right away, it stays that way until I go into Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper and touch the brightness setting (although I'm not actually changing the setting because it already shows that the brightness is turned up a little over halfway). If I don't enter my password right away and let it go completely dark, then click the home button, the brightness is fine.
So now I'm stuck. My guess is that I will need to restore it, but wanted to check before I take that step. Unfortunately, my laptop is on its deathbed so I haven't been synching my ipad to it and I fear my Numbers documents are gone forever. I'd like to try everything I can to fix these issues before doing the restore in hopes that I can get the Numbers documents back.
Any suggestions for any or all of these problems?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Lumia 900 Various Issues

I recently purchased a white Lumia 900 this past weekend, and just wanted to go over some concerns/issues I've had with it thus far. I was thinking about doing a return/replace with At&t, but it seems that the issues may vary. I'm hoping many of these can be resolved with a software update. Just FYI, I already ran the update that was released on 4/16 and have also reset the phone a few times since then.
Display:
1. The display has a purple hue (most noticeable on gray backgrounds) when set to low brightness. This is mostly an annoynace since my wife has the same phone and hers does not exhibit this behavior. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue as it displays fine above the low brightness setting. Below is at least one thread of people having the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599308
2. Screen response is slow. It seems that that there is a delay between where my finger is and how the screen tracks my movements. I'm hoping that can be adjusted to be similar to how the Lumia 800 responds as per this video. The tracking starts at 3:45.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KBDZrqVW-8
3. Home screen scrolling is slower than other Windows Phones. On my previous Dell Venue Pro, I could scroll through the home screen much faster. From reading about the web, it seems that the Lumia 900 is set at a much slower pace, or that the inertia scrolling just isn't set. I'm hoping that can either be changed or allow us to change the scroll speed. The combination of the larger screen, the slower screen response, and the slower scrolling just makes the phone feel slower than it should be.
http://forums.wpcentral.com/lumia-900-ace/190309.htm
Sound/Notifications:
1. There is a large volume discrepancy between the speaker and the headphone jack. I try to keep the volume at one setting (around 18) because that is most comfortable for me when listening with headphones, but switching back to the speaker, and it is just clearly too loud at that setting. I'm hoping this can be changed with an update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615986
2. Changing the volume while the screen is off is very inconsistent. I have to press the volume rocker buttons several times before it makes the incremental change. It seems others were having issues with the volume rocker not working at all prior to the 4/16 update, so I'm hoping this can be fixed further.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607937
3. Vibrate function seems to be making a rattling noise. This one definitely seems to be a hardware issue, though what I have seems to be 'normal' for a Lumia 900. It's not as bad as others I've seen on the web, where it would be extremely loud, but it is annoying nonetheless. I'm just hoping a hardware fix can be put in place for the future. It sounds similar to that of the Lumia 900 at the end of this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KBDZrqVW-8
Camera:
1. The camera has issues with white balance and focus. This is definitely a software issue, since 3rd party camera software are able to take great pictures just fine, such as SophieCam. I'm hoping this can be addressed soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605444
Despite these issues, I really do like the phone. I hope many of these issues can be addressed soon via software updates. We broke contract with our previous carrier to obtain these phones, and would really like to keep them, but not at their current state with these various issues. I'm hoping Nokia will see these issues and provide quick and helpful support for them.

OK, so I've calmed down a bit and now realize some detailed explanation of the issue could help to identify it more than ranting. So, here are the usage conditions and symptoms I noticed when I got into this battry drain, laggy, warm phone situation.
1st time:
Where: At work which is outside of Phoenix in a spotty reception area. I had maybe 1-2bars of 4G showing
What: Drove to work using bluetooth audio all the way. When I got to work I was trying to download an App, but the download failed. I tried again, and the download started, then just froze at 15%. I cancelled the download and tried again. It started to download and froze again at 15%. I attributed this to the weak coverage (but since then I've been able to complete a download from the same location with the same service)
Then the battery seemed to drain as fast as I could charge it...literally. I had the phone plugged into a USB charger and the state of charge barely changed after hours of charging. I never thought to re-start. I got home and my battery was basically dead after bluetooth audio all the way home (almost 1 hr). I finally restarted and had no more issues. Didn't really think anything of it...just thought my new phone had a **bleep** battery life
2nd time (following day):
Where: At home with strong LTE coverage in Tempe
What: Woke up, paired up with my portable bluetooth stereo at home. Let the music play while I hung out in the pool for a few hours. I was simultaneously taking pictures throughout the afternoon. Battery charge quickly fell to about 25%. I started to notice that when I would zoom into the pictures I had just taken, it would take about 15sec for the resolution to re-sharpen after zooming in. About 20min later my battery critically low warning came on. So, I plugged into my wall charger. Can't remember at what point I re-started.
That was Saturday. I had no issues and great battery life on Sunday. No bluetooth audio usage. Used Nokia Drive, the phone, internet, and various apps, but no BTA.
3rd time:
Where: Driving from Tempe to work, passing in and out of coverage along the way
What: Streamed Bluetooth audio the entire drive with a few phone calls mixed in. Got to work and the phone was warm, but I assumed this was normal after an hour of usage. Got into work and noticed it being laggy in general. Turned off data and BT Gave it a few minutes to recover and for the phone to cool off with no usage. Phone didn't cool off and remained laggy, so I figured something was up. I re-started, all issues disappeared, and phone cooled off. It has been fine since.

IGS Pie Graph - colors issue

Hello all,
I'm displaying an IGS Pie graph in a Web-Dynpro application.
Since in a pie graph the different parts of the pie are of the same series in different elements,
I couldn't find a way to set different colors to them using the chart designer.
When choosing a specific color, all the parts appear in the same color.
When choosing an automatic color, they appear in different color,
but then I don't have control over the color.
Is there a way to define the pie so that every part is of a different series?
Otherwise, Is there a way (by using the chart designer or by code)
To achieve an IGS pie graph with the colors of my choice?
Thanks ahead for any help,
Anuj

Various Issues After Update To Bootcamp 3.2 (MacBook Pro, WindowsXP)

Hi all,
i'm experiencing various issues after i updated to Bootcamp 3.2.
I first was running Bootcamp 3.0 (everything worked just fine, except some nv4_disp.dll bluescreens). I updated to Bootcamp 3.1 and then to Bootcamp 3.2.
Everything seemed to be fine firstly, but now i noticed various issues:
1. I can't access the Bootcamp control panel (crashes when i try to open it (applecontrolpanel.exe at Offset 0004703a)
2. Everything USB doesn't seem to work (except external USB drives), like USB printer does not print, camera attached via USB does not import photos)
When i check the Driver-Manager i'm seeing multiple USB hubs, root hubs and host conrollers (4 root hubs, 2 openHCD usb host controller, 2 usb hubs...). When i try to configure the USB port the printer is connected to i also get an error ("not supported").
3. When i try the extended display settings i'm getting an "NVIDIA display panel extension can't be displayed".
MacBook Pro 13inch, Windows XP MediaCenter Edition (SP3), NVIDIA GeForce 9400M.
Thanks: Lars

Answered my own question, but want to post how I did it in case other users have the same problem.
I am assuming this issue appeared because I live in Canada. When I installed the Bootcamp 3.2 update, for some reason it changed my regional language of my system to French (Canada) - Canadian Multilingual (Apple)
To change it back I went in Windows XP to Control Panel, Regional and Language Options. Languages tab. Under Text services and input languages clicked Details.
Under settings tab changed Default Input Language from French (Canada) - Canadian Multilingual (Apple) to English (Canada) - US. Click apply.
Wait...it was working, but in the time it took me to type this it suddenly reverted and Im back to weird character mappings inspite of the language setting being changed.

X-FI Titanium Pro Various Issues

?Hello Everyone,
I have been having various issues with my new X-FI Titanium pro PCI-E card.
1. With new drivers, I get crackling & popping when ever there is high CPU/HD usage.
2. With the original drivers this goes away, however now I get very loud static after about hour of usage. This is sometimes resolved by switching console modes, but most of the time I have to re-boot.
My System:
Asus M4A79T
AMD Phenom X4 955
Saphire HD4890
8 gigs OCZ pc2800 ram
700 watt OCZ power supply
TB 7200RPM WD HD.
LG DVD RAM dri've.
Creative X-FI Titanium Pro.
I have been through every forum, and all over the internet looking for an answer. Can anyone provide me with some assistance before I scrap my new toy?
thanks in advance.

$ I would highly recommend an X-Fi Titanium, but only the Titanium. The PCI-x rendition of Creative's sound card lineup is easily the best piece of hardware they have ever released. As is fairly common in the PC industry any new piece of hardware can potentially cause a user problems but I'd have to say the Titanium is your best bet.
The problems you're having could possibly just be compatibility issues with your motherboard or a mix of other hardware in your PC. All you can do is try. Personally I am having no problems whatsoever using Creative's latest driver set with Windows 7 x64 and I play quite a few games. If, by chance, you play the game Sacred 2 you could very well have audio issues though but that's due to the game being extremely buggy. Sacred 2 aside everything I throw at my system and X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro works flawlessly. This is all just my own personal experience though. You can try and hope for the best and if it doesn't work out return the card (purchasing at a local retailer if available for a few bucks more might be worthwhile if you do need to return the product though to avoid shipping costs).

MPower with various issues (Bios, Volt, Heat)

Hello Good Morning & Good Evening readers from everywhere on the planet.
I am having multiple issues with the newly assembled machine and i have 8 days left to "make it clean".
This computer is not for me, it s a gift, a nice one. so i would like to do everything i can to avoid any future issues.
So Far, what did i encounter as problems :
Problem 1 : BIOS
When i started the "lets go" process, step1 was to put an up to date Bios. i made a backup on my USB Key where i previously put the H70 bios, and accidentally selected the backed-up H30 bios as file to upload (instead of the H70)
Result : Boot Loop.
Tried everything i could :
From within Bios B, tried to flash H70 to Bios A after manual switching : Boot Loop
From USB Key and Forum Flasher procedure : Boot Loop
Finally, with Forum Flasher and H83 Bios : Boot on Bios Chip A possible.
meanwhile, i did flash Bios B with H70, which seems to behave weirdly, because it wont boot on the SSD system, and will always go back to Bios Screen. i gave up for now on Bios Chip B and i am focusing on the one that works, Bios Chip A with version 1.17.8B3
Problem 2 : HEAT, and a LOT of it.
using default settings (i only specified XMP profile for the Memory to run at 1600Mhz), i installed Windows 7 Pro, all necessary drivers (latest from intel, latest from nvidia, latest from MSI for the ones i could not find elsewhere)
installed a few benchmarks, Open Hardware Monitor, and launched a couple of Orthos (Prime) bench, assigning one Orthos per core through task manager.
Result : Cores run at 85°c and keep raising around 86, 87..... before i stopped everything.
Vcore reported by Open Hardware Monitor : 1.26 to 1.29v which, at 3.9Ghz, seemed to me, far too much.
Step 1 : removed the CoolerMaster, realized there was maybe slightly not enough thermal paste, added some where the contact did not seem to be good.
Step 2 : working my way on lowering the vcore.
i tried through bios various settings. i managed to get some relative stability with a bit less than 1v reported, and in that configuration, 49°c per core on Orthos. Orthos froze 15 minutes later when i tried to move windows around while maximizing OHMonitor's window. conclusion : not enough volts. but also : this CPU can run cooler.
after hours, i managed to get something "not so bad" with 1.1v setting in the Bios :
3.9Ghz test for 10hours with 1 Orthos per core + 3DMark 2011 windowed mode at max settings + Open Hardware Monitor. Nothing crashed, but i have 9 WHEA log entries in the system logs over the 10 hours of test.
max temperature reported for cores : 65°c
max temperature reported for GPU : 61°c
still, with WHEA's, weird lags and "will not always boot" startup (5 to 10 seconds delay where the boot stucks on "B4" code before i get the Intel Raid Screen, and when i want to enter the Bios, sometimes (but not all the time) 10 to 20 seconds delay), a "blind volt configuration" because i have no clue of what volt the CPU really needs, and no overclocking (4.2 is not a big deal normally), and all phase leds on permanently (while they are not when i am in the Bios), i am NOT satisfied of what i did.
i am pretty sure that with your help i ll manage to try a few other settings, and i m also pretty sure that there are currently some Bios settings that are irrelevant or incorrect
i just installed RealTemp with Prime95 for second temp reading. Orthos makes things more hot, but both benchs are good in my eyes.
i ll now post the current Bios settings screenshots, thanks for your help. computer details included in signature
Note : ClickBios II asks me to install Intel ME 8 to enable overclock. Intel ME _9_ is currently installed. is that an issue ?
edit :
screen of 4x Orthos small FFT 1/core + 3DMark2011 extreme settings in 800x600 windowed
changed a few things
remark : when i did a restart, bios boot got stuck on B4 (one minute passed) i did reset the computer to access the bios. might come from me being too fast type "DEL" key to enter the bios while the MB was initializing
1) in the Bios, memory voltage was reported at 1.480. i manually entered a couple voltages, and ended up on 1.5280 manual entry reporting 1.530 V
2) Phase contantly on : current Bios setting Phase Control Auto, C1E Enabled CState Enabled EIST Enabled. To what i read, this is not a big deal, but all phase are on when OS is running, and blinking in Bios. weird.
3) CPU Volt Manual entry changed from 1.100 to 1.125
relaunching Orthos x4 (small FFT) + 4cores Prime95 Blend Test + 3Dmark2011 windowed to check for WHEA's
i ll let this run for an hour.

thanks for the information, i ll try those changes and see if i gain anything.
main problem is the heat. 90°c at 3.9 is just hard to accept. especially with a temp room of 25-30° with heatwave coming strong in july or august.
maybe i chose the wrong heatsink with the Evo212, but i made a couple 3570k go at 4.5 4.6 with that HS, and it worked fine with a tmax of 72-75° under heavy load.
yesterday when i reached 87° i used my nocontact thermometer, and once the computer was off, my fingers. the copper tubes and the part which is in contact with the CPU was almost... cold, roomtemp.
i think i have one of those 3770k with the bad thermal contact between the die and the cap. that is an issue. i have 10 days to either find a solution to RMA it, or to make it run "cool" enough to be set free to his new owner. i hate when people get problems with a computer i built. it usually never happens. happened once in fact, dead P4P800, 2003. once.
i ll try those changes, i have 3 days to make it clear and clean. if i cannot get anything normal out of this, i ll do what i need to do to RMA it : put the default intel heatsink, make the CPU throttle, and RMA it, crossing fingers to get a correctly assembled 3770k in return. (and hoping not to burn the motherboard in the process. looks rock solid, but maybe not lava solid)
edit : at full charge, auto vcore send 1.3v to the cpu @3.9Ghz. Orthos + Prime makes cores temp at 85° after a minute. core 3 just reached 89° after 2 minutes of load. Room temp = 25°.
= no go. i cannot accept that as a normal behaviour.
The reported "CPU" temperature is 31°c
The Core Temperature is 89°c
that does not compute to me.
edit 2 :
trying 4.2Ghz Turbo with auto vcore : 1.31-1.32v. temp exceeds 90°c after a couple seconds of orthos.
trying 4.2Ghz with 1.2v manual entry : BSOD after launching Orthos
trying 4.2Ghz with 1.250 and 75% vdroop. no load volt : 1.208 - Prime + Orthos volt : 1.168. temp 68-70°c. no BSOD. launching 3DMark 2011 in windowed loop. crossing fingers will check for WHEA entries in a hour.
edit 3 : WHEA, tons of them. retrying with 1.240v. will repeat until no WHEA. if i need 1.3v for that, i dont really know what i will do. buying a 50E cooler "just to see" is not welcomed this month. no money to throw away right now.
also, i get stuck at "B4" a lot since i m trying 4.2Ghz, after restarting, after exiting the Bios. manual reset is necessary.
this CPU smells like a very bad batch.

Xy graph cursor issue

Hi,
I am having a weird issue with cursors on XY Graph. I am unable to grab the cursor and even when I manually put the X value in the cursor legend, the cursor sometime go to go to that X value. And the issue is very intermittent. The cursors work sometimes without any issue and sometimes I just cant grab and move them.
I have attached the vi here that I am having an issue with. Could anyone take a look at it and let me know if you are also having the same issue as me. See if you are able to move the cursors, snap cursor to different plots and still able to move the cursors.
Thanks,
LVCoder
Solved!

XYGraphCursorIssue.vi ‏50 KB

It looks like you're trying to make the third cursor on the list show the delta between the second and the first, right? i.e. Delta = Cursor1 - Cursor0
If this is what you want, change the ActCrsr index value on the second property node to a value of "2". It is currently "1".
This will set the Delta cursor to the be difference values that are calculated.
What's happening right now is you're subtracting Cursor0 from Cursor1 and then assigning that difference back to Cursor1. If this is done a few times in a row, you end up just dropping Cursor1 to (0,0).

Graph display issues

Hello everyone,
I am currently facing a problem of graph display. After some manipulations (typically a mouse wheel scrolling), a part of the curves of my XY graph disappears (see attachment).
I’m using Windows XP and Labview 2009. I have observed the problem on computers with runtimes (no labview development system installed).
Concerned applications have already been tested and some of my colleagues also face such problems for some time. I suspect a hardware compatibility problem but I do not really know how to search and even less how to solve this issue...
Any idea?
Thank you in advance!

Graphs/charts issue

Hello Gurus,
1) I have a report and I just added a bar graph to present the data in the report.The issue is the numbers on the graph with that of the report don't tally meaning they don't match. Please help.
2) Another issue is for one of the graphs, I need to use 2 dimensions and 1 measure, so what is the best graph to use?
I am using oBIEE 11g.
Thanks in advance

+1) I have a report and I just added a bar graph to present the data in the report.The issue is the numbers on the graph with that of the report don't tally meaning they don't match. Please help.+
Can u elaborate this question?
Example: There is a report that has 4 dimensions and 1 measure. The value of measures read 23423,276576,90797976.,.etc..
but in the graph, the measures read 902340,458923,3489493,.etc...
The numbers don't match. Please let me know if its still unclear.
+2) Another issue is for one of the graphs, I need to use 2 dimensions and 1 measure, so what is the best graph to use?+
Vertical Default is the best one to use,It depends on your rqmt right !!!!
Thanks

Grapher utility issues (Lion's fault?)

I'm having trouble with the Grapher utility and defining/graphing functions. If I define a function, say f(x) = x^2, and then try to graph a transformation of it, say y=f(x-2), Grapher displays only a graph of y = f(x). All transssformations within the function yield the same results; and transformations outside of the function behave as they should.
I am not sure if this is an issue with Lion, but I only saw the problem after I updated. Prior to that, there were no problems.
Thanks,
Jarrod

Hi,
Defining a function in Grapher 2.2 : the variable must not be x y   r   theta (never use 2D coodinates) ; tried now on a MacBook Pro 15" Lion Grapher 2.2.
Defining a function in Grapher 2.1 : the variable may be x y   r   theta (you may use 2D coodinates) ; tried now on a iMac 20" early 2006 Snow Leopard Grapher 2.1.
In your example use    f(t) = t^2   and    get correct curves   y = f(x)   and   y = f(x-2)
It's new but not a bug. Is this change useful ? I must say functions look now quite different from curves equations.
So long,
   YB24

Various issues since Leopard upgrade

I have just installed Leopard on a Dual 2.7 G5 with a 500GB Hitachi HDD and 5GB RAM and I have noticed one or two niggling little 'quirks' (I am lumping everything together here, rather than separating them in to more appropriate sections, so that I have a record of everything together).
1) I have an Epson Perfection 4870 scanner which I cannot use to scan directly from applications (for quickness I mainly use Preview) as the 'scan' button is always unavailable (greyed out, not highlighted in blue). This has been an issue since at least 10.4.8, so it's not a problem exclusive to Leopard, but it's extremely annoying nonetheless. As I can scan directly from the Epson Scan software (which is basically the driver) Epson will not assist me further and have directed me to Apple/Adobe/MS, etc., for support. Prior to 10.4.8 (IIRC) I could select 'import' (from whatever application) and it would automatically preview, the scan button would then become available and hitting it would launch the driver software. However, the link between the applications and the driver seems to have been severed somehow/somewhere and it is no longer recognising that the unit has finished its preview in order to make the 'scan' button available for the next part of the process.
In Tiger, I could also scan into Epson's EasyScan application, but have been told this isn't 10.5 compatible.
Does the above make sense...? Has anyone else experienced this - and have you solved it? If so, how?
2) This next bit concerns the Dock. I like to have it hidden along the left hand side of the screen, rather than at the bottom, because I only have a 17" panel and desktop space is at a premium. However, about one restart in five, it's back along the bottom and any icons or folders that I have added to it have gone AWOL.
3) The third issue is a sound issue. I have a Revolution 7.1 card which I understand, from reading a notice on M-Audio's Web site, is not yet Leopard compatible (though the promise it will be "very soon"' though as the last driver release didn't support anything newer than 10.4.6, IIRC, I'm not holding my breath!)
So I have removed the card and plugged my Logitech Z5500s back into the 'on board' card. This was working flawlessly under Tiger (I know because I tested it to make sure, because I knew that the Revolution wouldn't function under Leopard). However, whatever I try, I only seem to hear sound from the internal speaker; I even replaced the optical cable (at great expense - the original was a Belkin Gold Series, and so is the replacement and, at about £35 a pop, it's not a trivial outlay). Everything in the sound sys prefs is completely 'greyed out' so I cannot change it from the internal speaker to anything else. Whilst there is nothing on Logitech's Web site as regards to the Leopard compatibility of any of its products (it seems that it gave up on the Mac a very long time ago; I use a MX510 which was the last of their rodents to have any kind of OS X support and that stopped with 10.4.4, IIRC) I cannot see how a set of speakers, which should work with anything that has the required jack sockets, can be fussy about an OS. Incidentally, I also have a 'dark side' box running XP Home (when I win the lottery, I'll buy a Mac Pro and dispense with it) and they're plugged in there and work fine (via analogue, though, not digital).
I noticed it when I received some CDs that I'd ordered from Amazon the other day and found that iTunes was playing through the internal speaker.
4) The final issue is a networking issue. Under Tiger, I could (though it did take me some tweaking to get it working smoothly) dump things from the G5 on to the Windoze box and vice versa, without too many hiccups. However, Leopard is proving to be somewhat of a challenge, to say the least. I don't know how I managed it, but I did manage to render the machine completely inoperable at one point (it would only boot as far as the grey 'Apple logo' screen and I couldn't open the optical drive to stick the DVD in - a panicked phone call to a friend, who runs his own Mac repair and consultancy business, followed!
I don't understand SMB and AFP (though I do know about FTP). In the Finder, I can see the 'doze box and can send things to it (though should I be connected as 'guest'?) but there is nothing on the Windoze side, save for 'Printers and Faxes'). I have made sure I have permissions set correctly and everything is set up to share (and Windows sharing is on) but there is nothing on the other box at all.
Is it possible to share the main HDD across, or am I limited to this silly 'Drop Box' thing (which I did have available under 'doze at one point, though it was read only and I couldn't change permissions from Leopard because I didn't have sufficient privileges, even though I have an admin account and I could change permissions under Tiger with the same level of 'clearance'.)
4) This final issue is sort of linked with 3) as it concerns what I believe to be erroneous error messages. I was clearing some stuff off a drive I was going to use for Time Machine[1], but I wasn't allowed to delete most of it because 'XYZ was in use' or open in an application. Six reboots later, I was still receiving the same error; strikes me that Leopard's got its knickers in a knot somewhere along the line because the files in question (mainly old Word and Excel docs) were certainly NOT in use as I didn't have either installed at the time!
[1]Though having read the problems people are having with TM (not just here, but on other forums I read/post to) I think I might give it a miss and stick with ChronoSync (just have to wait for it to be compatible).
So, this is actually the second installation, but the problems remain - any help out there?
Sorry for the verboseness of this, but I wanted to make sure that I'd covered everything. I'm almost tempted to reinstall Tigger (but not quite - I like Spaces, and I like the Dock Preview).
Cheers for any assistance, folks!

Fran, I'm not sure I'm going to be much help for all your problems but I will attempt to answer what I can.
1. Scanner problems - have you tried reinstalling the software? I know you mentioned that the easyscan software is not compatible but it sounds like the driver software isn't in the right place. Optionally another program that you might want to look into is vuescan. I have had good success with the program in the past but I have yet to try it under Leopard.
2. Dock problems this sounds like either a corrupted preference list. But I don't have a clue as to why it might be reoccurring. Have you fixed permissions on your computer since installation?
3. I don't have a clue to figure out how to fix this issue.
4. Networking - As for sending things to the doze box. You don't need to be connected as guest. Just use the username and password that you use when you sign into the windows to sign into the windows box and you should have the same rights as you would as if you were using windows on that computer. Yes it is possible to share the main HDD but it isn't something that I would recommend. What I do recommend is creating a folder where you have both read and write rights to and then use that folder share items across both computers. If this isn't something that is going to work for then at the most I would just share your documents folder. You didn't mention how your trying view information on the windows side you should be able to browse your network and eventually find and see the mac.
4 (part 2) - I would recommend something besides TM, it is designed to recover lost/accidentally deleted files. And isn't really designed for being your complete backup program. Yes, you can use it for that but I would recommend something more robust. Some of that comes down to how you want to define your recovery strategy. Superduper!, promotes themselves as having the ability to boot for your backup drive and being able to almost immediately get back in business. If this is a critical factor to you then I would lean in that direction. If you are just worried about having a backup of critical data files then Chronosync or some other program will work just as well. Also mentioned in your post in this paragraph is a description of "files in use" problems. A couple of things come to mind did you let spotlight finish indexing your drive before you tried deleting files? I've run into a problem similar to this in Tiger when I was deleting files while spotlight was indexing.
One item that you didn't mention was what kind of installation you did when you installed Leopard. If you didn't do an 'erase and install" then that might be something to look into. First back up your computer before doing this. You might also want to run a permissions fix on your drive to see if that helps at all.

Safari 5.1 under 10.6.8: various issues (responsability, scrolling, etc)

Hi,
here my observations, issues after upgrading to Safari 5.1 (from 5.0.1) under 10.6.8.
Scrolling is often choppy (with two fingers, with scroll wheel). Terribly annoying.
There is – not always, bit quite often – a strange refresh-effect when switching tabs or windows: the switched-to tab/windows goes blank for a very short moment before it comes back with its content (no reload involved, apparently just a display issue), of course terribly annoying.
Text input is lagging (like here, like now).
The beach ball is seen way too often, and way more often than in 5.0.1.
Text selection is lagging. You have to do it veeeeeerrrrry sloooooowly.
I guess, you can sum it up this way: responsability and UI interaction is not right.
This is not the case with regard to page loads, which is snappy, probably even better than in 5.0.1.
Another point: Window switching changed its algorithm back to how it used to be quite some time ago (maybe pre 5.x): The order of the windows does not get re-shuffled, but stays the way it was – so, on the one hand, you have to ‘caroussel’ to all of the windows to get back to the first; on the other hand, you don’t see (as in Safari 5.0.x) one window again and again just because you paused switching for a moment, or closed out some tab. A bit hard to describe, but I guess people will recognize what I mean.
Both algorithms have their pros and cons. I guess I like 5.1’s change back to the ‘traditional’ better, but it’s also a matter of taste, I guess.
RAM usage is pretty hefty as well: “Safari Web Content” 720MB, “Safari” 267MB, Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in) 25,8MB – I have 2 GB RAM installed.
Text input is horribly lagging. Consider me brave to have finished this posting here.
Please, Webkit/Safari team, fix it.
Best,
Peter

Good news: I can report that you can successfully and easily downgrade from Safari 5.1 to 5.0.5 under 10.6.8 by means of Charlessoft’s excellent (und for a long time well respected [I’m in now way affiliated with Charlessoft]) tool Pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/).
Just download this Safari 5.0.5 installer (for Snow Leopard) from Apple’s site (I hope it’s okay to put this link up here; of course Apple prefers you to download only its very latest – alas, the problems with this very latest is why you’re reading this post):
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Safari5/041-0564. 20110413.Fi9pb/Safari5.0.5SnowLeopard.dmg
Then proceed as described here (look for the part named “Force Install”; don’t get confused that it mentions older Safari versions, like 5.0 and 4.0.5, the procedure is the same now):
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/down...-safari-4-0-5/
Also see the concise documentation that comes with Pacifist.
Basically, in all the dialogues coming up just choose “Replace” (not “Update”), a choice clearly marked in Pacifist’s documentation for cases of downgrading. One restart, and you’re back to Safari 5.0.5 without touching any other part of your OS. And, of course, Safari 5.0.5 is supposed to work under 10.6.8, since it gets installed with the 10.6.8 Combo Update, so no surprise.
(Why not just use the above linked 5.0.5 updater, by double-clicking it? This updater denies to install 5.0.5 under 10.6.8, instead claiming to require 10.6.7 – but this seems to be due only to the fact that at the time the Safari 5.0.5 installer was current, 10.6.7 was the up-to-date version of Snow Leopard. And again, I’m writing this post – and, other than the one above which I wrote from within Safari 5.1, without any hiccups – from within Safari 5.0.5, which “flies” compared to my 5.1 experience under the very same, otherwise untouched 10.6.8 installation.)
Just one further caution: After the downgrade, Safari 5.0.5 cannot re-open the last session’s (the one under Safari 5.1) windows and tabs (something to be quite expected); so, in case, bookmark accordingly before initializing the downgrade. (And, of course, you do not loose any other information, like bookmarks, history, passwords, etc. The downgrade does not effect any kind of “brutal” reset of Safari.)
Finally, after the downgrade OS X’s Software Update does offer you the update of Safari 5.1. So, you clearly can get back again to the newest and latest if you wish to.
Best.

Xy-graph timestamp issue

Hi All,
I'm sure it's simple but I can't figure out what is going wrong with my xy-graph. I read a timestamp as a string from a waveform data file and convert it to a timestamp format. I then plot data vs time.
The timestamps look correct but the plot is all out of whack. I've attached a simple example. Can anyone help me and see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Solved!

The data was taken on two consecutive days.I set the graph to be the same format but didn't work.
Solution - make the timestamp creator to be dd/mm/yy. For some reason I thought it needed to be mm/dd/yy?
Cheers!

Multi line graph values issue

Hi,
I am using JDev 11.1.2.2.0
I made a standard line graph which I populate with data through a backing bean.
I read a post on how to put points to the graph:
ArrayList <Object[]> data;
Object[0] -> x axis data, here I have dates
Object[1] -> name of the serie, a new serie is created for each different name
Object[2] -> y axis data, here I have values
Then I put the list to the graph and it works fine, only for one serie.
When I display 2 or more series, the graph shows the different series in different colors as it is suposed to do.
But, the values (Y axis) are not displayed at the correct place. I mean for instance the point with value 4K is displayed below the 3K Y axis marker...
And sometimes the point is displayed above as its real value...
So my graph is false, but my values are correct (I tested it)
Then what can I do? The graph can draw several lines as I managed to put more than one serie. The only problem is that they are not displayed properly...
(if you need the code I can show it)

Ok, I found what was wrong.
In the graph properties the subType field was set to LINE_VERT_STACK, then I changed it to default (LINE_VERT_ABS) and it worked.
<dvt:lineGraph id="lineGraph" subType="*LINE_VERT_ABS*"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_ReportingPopUp.lineGraph}" shortDesc="Graph that shows metrics"
inlineStyle="height:100%; width:100%;" imageFormat="FLASH">
<dvt:background>
<dvt:specialEffects/>
</dvt:background>
<dvt:graphPlotArea/>
<dvt:seriesSet>
<dvt:series/>
</dvt:seriesSet>
<dvt:o1Axis/>
<dvt:y1Axis/>
<dvt:legendArea automaticPlacement="AP_NEVER"/>
<dvt:graphTitle text="Metrics for Hosts by Date" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
