3rd party memory issues

Hi all,
Hope someone can help. Recently bought two 1gb sticks of ram to max out my PB. Kingston brand turned out to be the value ram and only found out after i started having problems that i should not use it. Returned and got Centon sticks but still getting the same freezes and kernel panics as i did with the Kinston memory. Working with Centon support at the moment but they are slow to reply with a solution. Is Centon also no good . On my third memtest of both sticks but everything always passes all tests. I'm I stuck buying inflated Apple branded memory or is there a brand that actually works.
To sum up the problem, most of the time I get random freezes. Once in a while a kernel panic, but that generally occurs after a reboot from a hard freeze. If I pull the sticks out and reseat they are fine for anywhere from half-hour to as much as 3 hours. But even that is random. Duration of runtime without crash is not in any way consistant. I seems to happen most often with memory intensive programs such as Photoshop, however it's happened
right after startup as well. If I reinsert the OEM sticks (2-512 mb) everything works fine. No issue at all.
Hope someone has a good solution!

Above should read 1.67ghz not mhz.
And memory according to manual should be PC4200 533mhz DDR2.

3rd Party Sales Issue

Dear Guru's
We have a process for creating 3rd Party Sales Order which use the standard TAS item category. SO is created and we then manually create a Purchase Order based on the Pur Req created when the Sales Order was saved. This all works fine. When we get the Vendors Invoice we post the Invoice via MIRO, again this is OK when the qty matches the Sales Order qty. If the vendor part delivers ie 10 out of 20, when the Sales Order Billing document is created, the Status of the Sales Order is set to Complete. Read some of the threads it would appear it should go to BILLED until the last Vendor Invoice comes in.
Has anyone got any thoughts on what the problem might be, or is this a SAP standard issue?
Many Thanks
Paul Gray

Hi Ravi
I am a bit confused now.
The process we have is to Create Sales Order with Item cat TAS and then link to a 3rd party PO. At the point the SO line Status is "Open". So Qty is 10
If I then us MIRO to create a GR-IV for a Partial Qty IE 5 and Half the Value of the SO. This works OK and the SO Line Status is still "Open".
Then Using VF01 to Create a Billing Doc, the Bill Doc is created with a Qty of 5 and the correct Value. However, the SO line Status has now changed to "Completed", even though I still have 5 Outstanding.
If I then do the remaining GR-IV the SO line Status changes again to "In Progress" and upon creation of Billing Doc changes again to "Completed".
Its the first part that cause me an Issue as we run several reports based on the Status and these Part Invoiced once show as Complete. As we still have material to deliver I would expect the Status to stay as Open or In Progress and not "Completed".
Do you know if this is Standard SAP and If so is there a work around?
Many Thanks

Early Warning for 3rd party software issues

We have Vertex set up but have occasional timing, connection issues, etc.
Does anyone have configured an early warning configured for 3rd party software?
Looking for solutions or suggestions.

Why can't Apple have their own interface for Windows mobile applications instead of having to purchase Mark Space.
Hang on... Why should Apple provide their own interface for syncing Microsoft Windows Mobile-based phones? Microsoft don't provide support for Apple's phones do they?
Microsoft have chosen to use their own proprietary and incompatible syncing methods to sync their own operating systems. It stands to reason you'd be able to sync a Windows Mobile-based phone with a Windows desktop OS.
why have I got to purchase third party Nova software to sync my N95 8GB
You haven't got to. Nokia provides their own support via a free iSync Plugin for that phone here:
http://europe.nokia.com/mac/isync/
If you're having problems with that, then Nokia are the people to contact - not Apple. But from your other post it appears you're having problems with installing it, not using it, and that's most likely because you've moved iSync.

Macbook pro 5. 4 3rd party hdd issues

Hello. everyone!
I know everyone who have macbook pro 5.4(Mid 2009, 2.53Ghz) trying 3rd party hdd(such as Segate and Western Digital Scorpio black) or SSD have a problems like 1. can't install SL or lion 2. occasional freezes every 7-8 seconds and etc.
The last solution I saw on the other discussion forum was downgrading the EFI firmware from 1.7 to 1.6.
Without downgrading EFI firmware to 1.6,
I'm wondering if Hitachi Travelstar 5K750(5400rpm, SATA2) or 5K500.B(5400rpm, SATA2) or 7K500(7200rpm, SATA2) - any of this is going to work on my MBP 5.4.
Does anyone with those Hitachi HDDs have a problem?

Well, I tried both Seagate and WD and they both have problems. (already wasted $$$ T_T)
On WD Scorpio black, I was not even able to install Snow Leopard or Lion.
On Seagate Momentus, I WAS able to install Lion, but it freezes every 7-8 seconds.
I learned that Samsung HDD also has problems on EFI 1.7.
Do you know any HDDs which works perfect on MBP 5.4?
Did you format the drives for OSX?

IOS 8.1.2 and 3rd party keyboard issues still happening

We've had at least three updates to iOS 8 and 3rd party keyboards are still broken. The keyboard reverts back to the standard version randomly, it reverts back when texting from the lock screen, sometimes it freezes completely. I've tried three different keyboards and it happens on all of them. How is this still going on???

This is beyond annoying at this point. One of the reasons I went with the iPhone was their supposed commitment to third party keyboards. I loathe the stock one. It's awful. You missed the spotlight bug. I can never remember where my apps are in folders, and it's difficult to use spotlight without a keyboard!
Fix this Apple, or offer some sort of compensation. Android keyboards work just fine.

3rd party remittance issue

Hi,
We accidentally deleted a 3PR posting document (which was in created status, not yet posted). The status of the posting in remittance reconcilliation report for the corresponding evaluation run was 'being posted'.
Now when we are trying to run create remittance posting for any other remittance evaluations, we get the error ' No entry in table T51R6_FUNDINFO for remiitance key 81818'
I reckon that due to deletion of the posting doc the details of remittance key/symbolic accnt were removed from the table T51R6_FUNDINFO.
How can we remove this error? Also is it possible to recover the deleted posting document in PCP0 or the associated remittance amounts?

Hi,
I checked the Feature PPMOD, the employee subgrouping was maintained correctly. And also the acount assigment was also maintained for this employee grouping.

Can third-party memory ruin my hard drive?

Sorry this is a wee bit off topic, but since (a) I am more likely to get a straight answer from people here, and (b) I've already brought this problem up before, I'm going to ask..
I have 2 identical laptops. We bought both for the lab about 2 years ago. They are G4 ppc. I bought an extra half gig of memory for each at the time of purchase, but I think it is from ramjet, not Apple.
Both drives failed within a few weeks of one another. The second one came back from Apple today with a snotty message saying that the third-party memory had caused the problem and that they will refuse to do a repair if we ever send them a computer in the future with a third-party memory chip in it.
This strikes me as absolute horse-shiite, but then again, maybe I am not aware of something I should be.

The letter states "During the testing process, it was
determined that a part Apple has not approved for use
with your product resulted in your product's failure.
When the part was removed, your product successfully
passed all Apple diagnostic and reliability tests"
(then it checks RAM in the space provided."
(A new hard drive, which is 15 GB larger than the
original, was put in, along with an obsolete version
of OS X. One has to wonder why the drive was
replaced if removing the memory resulted in all tests
being passed.)
It has been well documented that Mac memory meet strict requirements because of very tight timing and sync on the MLB... memory with sloppy gating (inconsistent timing) will cause read/write errors on HDs and that it can cause corruption in the boot record and index sectors... this in turn can cause the drive to seek for data trying to fix itself and excessively work the drive and shorten it's MTBF. So, Indirectly... cause damage... sorta... but not like taking a hammer to it.. You basically got a form letter.. but the memory that you are using may be causing some problems and contributing to problems on your HD. Even if your system may not call for matched memory if you always stick to using matched sticks, (especially the speeds, not just size) you will save your self a bunch of headaches in the long run. Pull any 3rd party memory before sending it in for repair... you don't always get the system back with the same sticks (even if they weren't officially replaced.
OS9 was problematic in this similar reguard... I went thru 3 HDs before figuring out that an extension conflict was the cause of my data being hosed on my old Performa. (Apple had replaced all components at least once and I was still having problems until I killed the offending extension).

My 3rd Party SSD won't mount

I am having trouble because I can't tell exactly what my problem is, in order to find the solution.
I have just installed a Crucial M500 SSD into a Macbook Pro. I installed and time machine'd it as an external drive, and it booted just fine (using the Option Key).
I put it inside the MBP, and I go automatically to Recovery. I can't mount the drive.
It's unclear to me if this is some kind of OS X problem, or if this is because of the 3rd party SSD issue that so many are plagued with, since Apple decided to lock down kext signing.
Regarding the Yosemite SSD problem, everyone on the internet points to this:
http://www.cindori.org/Trim-enabler-and-yosemite/
But this assumes the drive can be mounted. My Macintosh HD volume is grayed out and can't be mounted.
I have confirmed the drive is fine and the cable is fine, because the original HDD works fine if I put it back in the Mac, and the SSD works fine if I put it back in an enclosure.
I've already done the installation and time machine process twice, with the same results. Repeated attempts to repair and erase have resulted in worse results, until I took the SSD out, used it externally again, and put it back in.
I could really use some sage guidance here!

I gave you steps but not what to do at each step. So, you need to first boot from the external drive that holds your original system:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the external disk icon.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Next, you need to repartition and reformat the SSD which is now the internal drive:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Now, you need to boot from the Recovery HD that is located on your now external drive:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the Recovery HD icon. If there are two DO NOT use the one labeled 10.10.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
When the Utilities Menu appears:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the internal new SSD. Source means the external former internal drive.
Upon completion quit Disk Utility. From the Apple menu in the screen menubar select Set Startup Disk. Set it to the internal SSD. Select Restart.

Logic 9 Issue Triggering Wrong 3rd Party Samples

I know the question says 3rd party but bear with me because I have ruled out issues with the 3rd party libraries and players. This is my Issue:
So far no one from 8dio, Native Instruments, or Apple can fix this and I am completely out of ideas.
I recently picked up a 2010 8-core Mac Pro and have had this problem ever since. The issue is only with my 8dio Adagio strings (most of them), it will either play the wrong sample, or no sample at all. I don't get any error messages though. All my other Kontakt libraries work fine.
Example: Bass "Shorts" will play "feather stacc", "marcato", but not "stacc" or "pizz". Violas will produce sound however it plays the exact same sample which ever articulation I select, but it will only play for a second then cut out, no sustained notes. This sort of issue is true for pretty much all of the strings. I have ruled out many things including:
1. Its not the 8dio strings libraries or Kontakt because they work fine in standalone mode through Kontakt, its only when I try to open them through Logic that I get the issue.
2. I did a fresh install of Logic and Kontakt and still the same issue, however when I installed the exact same configuration on a friend's laptop, they worked fine through Logic.
3. The strings did work fine on my old iMac until I dragged over and opened a session from the new computer, now I get the same issue there. The only way I can get it to work on the iMac is to open an old session which already has Kontakt and strings loaded up, otherwise a new project or new instance of Kontakt results in the same issue. This points to a settings or preference issue with Logic, however a fresh install and/or deleting the "preferences" file should fix it right? Wrong.
4. I have tried 3 different operating systems (Mavricks, Mountain Lion, and Lion), 2 different main drives, a SSD and a regular drive. I've tried a fresh install of everything multiple times, different user accounts, redownloading Adagio, running the libraries from both internal and external HDs....
After ruling everything else out it still seems like a problem with Logic other than the fact that the fresh install works fine on my friend's laptop but not my new Mac Pro (both running Mountain Lion). Any ideas would be much appreciated cause I'm all out of them. Thank you.

Treatment

Email account and Internet service not working after migration onto a new (upgraded 3rd party) 2012 MBP. Hardware or software issue.

I just purchased a refurb Mac Book Pro from the Apple on-line store. When I received the machine (serial number) I purchased 3rd party (OWC) parts. All of these were installed by the authorized, local Apple repair store I have had excellant results with past issues with my 2006 MBP. The parts installed are: 16 meg ram, 240 SSD and a 1 T installed replacing the optical drive.
Feeling ready now, I had the Apple store do the migration from my 2006 MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8) over to the 2012.
When trying to get the new machine into the production flow, I cannot get email to work. It will launch but I cannot access accounts.
During the One to One, then moved over to the Genius Bar appointment, they reentered the account(s) data. Nothing.
Also at this time they noticed that the Internet connection was not working.
A new internet account was set up and it worked. They (Genius) launched email and the Internet connection crashed. This was repeated about 5 times.
The computer was left with Apple to reinstall the OS (10.8) - their best suggestion as a fix and I have now had a call to say that the install did not correct the problem. Now they are questioning the install of the 3rd party parts as the possible problem.
I'm to go back into the Apple store to discuss the next steps.
I would really, really appreciate anyones thoughts / suggestions on this problem. Is it software or hardware? Should I re-install the original ram and 500 m hard drive to start over with the migration? I'll be honest here and state - I'm not a technician in computers or this side of technology. That is why I have reliable parties do the install and trouble shoot. Not a comfortable feeling being at their mercy.
Advanced thanks to all who believe they have answers.

Back from the Apple store with my 2012 MacBook Pro.
After one re-install of the OS - no better - a clean install was performed - purging all of the data that they had migrated over from my 2006 MBP last week.
The belief is, that the migrated data from my 2006 MBP was too great of a leap for the new 10.8. My (a lot) software was too dated and there in was a "blip" of some sort in some / one of the programs.
So - all of the OWC parts and pieces that I had installed are not the issue - as they all show up on the About this Mac - and other things are functional. Yeah.
I now have my 2012 back (with upgrades) in the original form (OS and programs) and I will start a one by one migration of programs that I do need and use. Being cautious not to make one large transfer.... weeding out programs that will no longer be needed or will work on the OS 10.8. I will manually set up the email accounts one by one.
Fingers crossed.

Issues loading to a 3rd party host

i created my site using muse and when i checked it out on business catalyst, everything looked great. but now when i try to upload it to my 3rd party host, the site keeps getting messed up. i've checked and rechecked my assets to make sure they're all connected (and they are). but again, loading using the FTP option on muse results in a messed up site...images are missing, text is moved around, just general crap that ruins the the site.
i've been reading through the forum messages on here to see what solutions others have come up with, and the ones i've found, i've tried to implement to try and fix the issues (like the asset linking).
what is the order of steps i should be taking to load? here's what i'm doing so far:
1) check all assets, update any that needed it
2) save site
3) export to HTML
4) upload using FTP to my host
am i missing a step or doing something i shouldnt be? i've deleted public_html folder multiple times and reuploaded everything but keep getting the errors.....
i also get the PHP error
1 Warning
Connection to PHP file failed. Unable to check if this web server supports PHP needed by Muse forms. Be sure the domain name entered in the FTP upload dialog is correct.
for which i guess i need to contact my host regarding (as per: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3581)
any help would be greatly appreciated! this is incredibly frustrating!!

i tried uploading using FILEZILLA and everything worked perfectly!!
consider this solved!!

Issues with Form printing using a 3rd party software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hi All,
We are printing our month end AR statements using Xerox DP100 printers. We are using a SAP Script as the layout form. Everything works perfectly alright when a direct print is issued to the printer. But the scenario here is the statements are sent to a 3rd party software so that the statements can be saved in their repository and made available to be viewed and printed whenever necessary. Now the issue is when this 3rd Party Software(TPS) reads the SAP generated PCL from its report store on the unix host and generates a PDF File that it presents to the web client user for (re)printing via his/her PC it appears that the TPS or Websphere or Adobe is performing a font substituion - replacing the Univers font(used in R/3) which is not loaded on the unix host with a different font(with different sizing and/or behavior).
As a result the horizontal and vertical positioning generated by SAP(which is correct for the Univers font) is 'wrong' for the substituted font. The fixed size fields print OK but gradually move to the right. The varying size amount columns do not align correctly and fall off the right side of the page.
Can anyone give me pointers on what can be done to arrest this error.
Does the font need to be loaded on the unix host or the font used in the form be changed?
Regards,
Karthik

Karthik,
Sap script behaves differently for different printers. You will have to change margins when you change your printer/software accordingly.

3rd party distributed SW load balancing with In-Memory Replication

          Hi,
          Could someone please comment on the feasibility of the following setup?
          I've started testing replication with a software load balancing product. This
          product lets all nodes receive all packets and uses a kernel-level filter
          to let only one node at the time receive it. Since there's minimum 1 heartbeat
          between the nodes, there are several NICs in each node.
          At the moment it seems like it doesn't work: - I use the SessionServlet - with
          a 2-node cluster I first have the 2 nodes up and I access it with a single client:
          .the LB is configured to be sticky wrt. source IP address, so the same node gets
          all the traffic - when I stop the node receiving the traffic the other node takes
          over (I changed the colours of SessionServlet) . however, the counter restarts
          at zero
          From what I read of the in-memory replication documentation I thought that it
          might work also with a distributed software load balancing cluster. Any comments
          on the feasability of this?
          Is there a way to debug replication (in WLS6SP1)? I don't see any replication
          messages in the logs, so I'm not even sure that it works at all. - I do get a
          message about "Clustering Services startting" when I start the examples server
          on each node - is there anything tto look for in the console to make sure that
          things are working? - the evaluation license for WLS6SP1 on NT seems to support
          In-Memory Replication and Cluster. However, I've also seen a Cluster-II somewhere:
          is that needed?
          Thanks for your attention!
          Regards, Frank Olsen


We are considering Resonate as one of the software load balancer. We haven't certified
          them yet. I have no idea how long its going to take.
          As a base rule if the SWLB can do the load balancing and maintain stickyness that is fine
          with us as long as it doesn't modify the cookie or the URL if URL rewriting is enabled.
          Having said that if you run into problems we won't be able to support you since it is not
          certified.

Is there a 3rd Party accessory that solves the moisure issue?

Just wondering if anyone's found a solution to the moisture issues by using a 3rd party adapter (and standard none OEM ear buds)?

MBP Apple Memory vs. 3rd party such as OWC

Upgrading to a 17" MBP (2011) and reading the myriad of posts on freezing screens. Read one post for 4 hours and am aware of the OSX upgrade of this week to 10.6.7!
One unanswered question in my mind is this:
Do we know that "maybe" just "maybe" we may be better off using Apple memory for upgrade vs. 3rd party due to "timing" between Apple memory and third party? A hundred bucks is nothing compared to futile attempts of freezing screens.

I've always used and recommended OWC RAM over Apple as there's a considerable saving and it's fully covered by Warranty should any problem arise (plus they give you a credit for returning the old sticks). The quality is just as good/same as the sticks from Apple IMHO. Often the $100 plus saved is enough to include a hard drive upgrade in the same order ...
