A VERY Strange Issue. Need some help... !!!

Ok, so here is the issue that I notice a few weeks ago... I have the 2.8Ghz 24" iMac, I think the earlier alum. one... Anyway I have a 320Gb Hard drive... Well I looked at it recently and I noticed that it claims that I am using 234 GB of my hard drive!!! And I don't think that there is ANY way for this to be possible. I have never been the type of person to "fill up" hard drive space. Never maxed out an iPod, even a 16Gb touch! I only have like 16Gb total of iTunes music, movies, TV etc. And I can't think of anything else that could take up so much Hard drive. I have boot camped my iMac, but I gave it the default 32Gb. So 32Gb there, 16Gb of iTunes and maybe a few more Gb from various things... IT DOESN'T ADD UP!!! Does anyone have a clue what could have happened? I first noticed this before I bootcamped my iMac. So if YOU have any info that could help me, it would be GREATLY appreciated! I need my hard drive back!
Thanks!

CRM - IPC issues - need some help desperately -Thank you

Issue: Create Quotation with a product results in a error: "no connection could be made to IPC".
Also, choosing 'Conditions' Tab results gray/empty tab with "Pricing doc. does not exist" message in the status bar.
Landscape: Single host Win2k, CRM 4.0 sp03 IDES with IPC SP08. No issues on CRM side other than the above mentioned. So far we did:
1) Installed IPC.
'dispatcher.properties' file contents:
rfcEnabled=true
rfcDispatcherProgId=IPC_RFC_DISPATCHER
rfcServerCount=1
rfcServerProgIdPrefix=IPC_RFC_SERVER_
rfcGateways=ALPHA:sapgw00
<end>
2) Added "ipcuser" and gave system roles according to note:412309
3) Maintained RFC settings for IPC_RFC_DISPATCHER and IPC_RFC_SERVER_1. Both as (host:alpha), (Gateway:sapgw00)
Started IPC dispatcher, server. IPC logs look good.
~ IPC Admin utility was able to login with "ipcuser" and client 800.
~ monitor pulls up server on port 9163. Test create document works fine and IPC reports Operational.
4) RFC Testing (SM59) connections
        IPC_RFC_DISPATCHER and IPC_RFC_SERVER_1 tested ok and reported time.
>>>> However, using (SE37)
5) IPC_COM_SESSION_BEGIN executes to a error screen of:

                       hostname 'iwyf7yta' unknown / CPIC-C error CM_PARAMETER_ERROR.
Here are my questions:
a) Do you find anything wrong with my configuration?
b) why is the need for IPC_V_RFC_DISPATCHER?
C) Does this mean that I need to run more dispatchers and servers??
    (i.e. each for IPC_RFC_DISPATCHER/server, IPC_V_RFC_DISPATCHER/server and IPC_WOV_RFC_DISPATCHER/server) - because these destinations are defined in RFC DESTINATIONS under TCP/IP connections... and they don't have program ids registered... so their test connections fail...
and more importantly, am I even on the right track in solving my pricing issue???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

John,
The configuration you have done is correct as per the IPC documentation. But the RFC destination to be used for IPC connection is defined in the table COMM_IPC_DEST field DEST_OUT. When you run the IPC test with the FM COM_IPC_SESSION_BEGIN, this destination is used to connect to the IPC dispatcher. BTB while you do not need more than one dispatcher you may choose to run more than one server.
There are more than one ways to resolve this problem.
The simplest is to maintain the RFC destination IPC_V_RFC_DISPATCHER with the program ID (in this case IPC_RFC_DISPATCHER) configured in your IPC's dispatcher.properties file.
Once the IPC connectivity is established your pricing problems should get resolved. Let me know if it works.

Whatever your problem is, there is nothing here to support being slow.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

A very new user needs some help and advice....

Hi,
I have just taken the bold leap into Indesign and this is the first day of my 30 day trial.
I need help and advice from you good poeple...please.
I have been successfully creating A5 booklets (folded A4) using MS Word and printing to a desktop printer. MS Word sorted out my page order for me at printing time so the correct pages were put together.
I have been reading as much information as I could find but I am still unable to do the same in Indesign.
I'm looking forward to using the advanced layout features and having control over what I do but, I need to work out this basic step before I go any further.
I hope what I have explained makes sense.
Regards
John

So presumably you create a new document, A5 portrait, facing pages. Make sure your ducument page count is a multiple of 4.
Create, type, tweak, ponder, edit, smile, save.
To create you booklet using InDesign, from the file menu select Print Booklet.
You will probably need to jump back and forth from the Print Settings button adjusting Paper Size, Orientation, Color, and from the Print Booklet tab set for 2-up Saddle Stitch.
Much has been posted on this topic, these are the basics, Print Booklet is not the best module Adobe ever wrote, IMO

Need some help with strange sounds in Logic Pro 8

Hi!
I need some help with a problem I have in Logic Pro 8.
When I have arrange window open, suddley strange high tones starts to make noise in my headphones. I don't know where these sounds comes from or why, but I need some help to get them away. Should I just try to contact Apple?
Martin

Hi Martin
Welcome to the forum. Give everyone here some more info about your set up otherwise it may be difficult to figure out what is wrong.
Which mac?
Which OS?
any hardware devices?
if you are listening through headphones using the built in audio from the mac, you may be hearing fan noise or a hard drive spin noise.

This is detailed: I lost my touch pad scroll ability on my desktop when I installed Firefox, I am having a terrible time trying to sync my new Android tablet to my desktop, my desktop Firefox is acting very strangly (I need help trying to use it)

My Vista Home Premium desktop has not used Firefox for a long time. I just loaded it as well as on my Honeycomb Android. The statement that I made pretty much says what my problem is. I can use both of them at the same time and use a router with the air Verizon card installed.

Complete Java n00b...need some help

I'm very new to Java and I need some help writing a basic program.
I need to write a program that lets the user add up an infinite amount of floating point numbers. The program should compute the sum of all the numbers entered thus far. So for example if the user enters 2 and 3, it should give a number of 5. If the user then enters 4, I should give me 9 etc.
I'm not really sure how to get started on writing that. I can add up two numbers but I don't know how to tell the program to keep adding additional numbers to that sum. Can someone please help me out? thanks

It's ok... it can be hard to understand even the simplest concepts with only text and no help.
There needs to be an int variable outside (before) the loop initialized to 0.
float num = 0;Next, you need to have an infinite loop that requests floats to add onto the number.
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
while (true) {
    float toAdd = input.nextFloat();
    num += toAdd;
    System.out.println("Current sum " + num);
}Putting all this together and putting it into a main method will work, but we have a bit of an issue. The program won't stop! For that reason, we need to specify a number which can exit the program. I like to use 0 for this purpose.
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
while (true) {
    float toAdd = input.nextFloat();
    if (toAdd == 0) {    //test if toAdd is 0 so the program can break;
        break;
    num += toAdd;
    System.out.println("Current sum " + num);
}So, this code will work:
import java.util.Scanner;
class AddNumbers {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        float num = 0;
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        while (true) {
            float toAdd = input.nextFloat();
            if (toAdd == 0) {    //test if toAdd is 0 so the program can break;
                break;
            num += toAdd;
            System.out.println("Current sum: " + num);

Need some help and guidance please!

Hi everyone,
I desperately need some help because I am at my wits end. In September I purchased a Compaq Presario CQ60-450US. Shortly after purchasing, I fresh installed Windows 7 Professional. Recently I decided to tried to dual boot ubuntu on the machine only to find that the installation failed because of CD read error. I know for a fact that the CD is not the issue because I have used this CD three other times to install ubuntu thus I came to the conclusion that the CD/DVD drive was bad.
I called HP support to get a new CD/DVD drive replaced only to spend 2 hours on the phone with a individual that decided to troubleshoot first trying to install ubuntu remotely (I informed the indiviual that the remote session would end), then by playing a DVD and "skipping throughout" the movie. He/she said that she could see no issue. (no diagnostic was run)I informed the individual that I had issues with buring as well. He/she proceeded to go online and install software asking me to demonstrate the issue after which the call got dropped mysteriously.
I called HP support back and told them that I am having an issue now burning. They proceed to connect remotely and look at the software the previous support individual downloaded and said that the software was not supported by HP. I informed the individual that I give permission to install any software needed to troubleshoot but the individual said that I could not be suppoted because I wasn't using the OS installed by HP. I was instructed to recover my machine to the OS that was installed with the machine if I was to continue to get support.
I informed the individual that the drivers and software are the same for either OS considering the CD/DVD rom is a plug and play device. The individual refused to help and told me I had lost my warranty because of my decision to install an OS directly from Microsoft or a third paper vendor.
That is where I stand. HP is refusing to give me support because I am not running their Vista Home edition even though my issue is hardware. I cannot find any warrent information stating that I need to have the original operating system installed on the machine to receive support. Can anyone point me to a reputable division that can help me with my issue? I feel I was just thrown aside so that they don't have to initiate a repair. If not has anyone filed a compalint against this outrageous support requirement?

Dear ndjumpball,
I would like to say that I have some good -- or at least encouraging -- advice. Regretfully, I do not. I had issues with my dv7 practically since purchasing it a year ago specifically so I would have a reliable computer for school. My first problem: I bought my laptop a mere 7 weeks before HP started offering their free upgrade to Windows 7. Consequently, I was forced to purchase the full installation retail or continue to deal with the wonton freezes and system failures that inevitably occurred while I was working on homework -- courtesy of HP's installation of Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Thankfully, I was able to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit through a significant student discount offer from Microsoft, and I had my new OS downloaded the evening of October 23, 2009; I had to give their servers time to free up, since it seemed like everyone and their dogs were also downloading what the reviews posted on CNET and PC World touted as being more reliable. I recall (I can't remember exactly which site this appeared) the statement, "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been from the beginning."
I was all excited and happy now that I had a laptop for school that had everything I was looking for: decent size hard drive, a fair amount of RAM, great 17.3" display with awesome colors, and a CDRW/DVDRW/Blu-Ray disk drive in the bay. Not only was I very satisfied with the hardware; it also came with a decent host of software that are thought was pretty cool, too. It came with CyberLink's DVD Suite 6 that I could activate simply by touching a soft button above the keyboard. Aside from Vista Home Premium crashing on me at the most inopportune times, I was exceedingly happy with my $1000 purchase and investment. Then came the "upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit...Because I didn't have a "compatible" version of Vista, I had to do a full ("custom") install. In other words, I lost all of the cool features I originally bought the machine for in the first place...no more cool one-finger's brush software activation (still don't have that working), and HP Chat Support told me the same thing they told you. The following is a direct copy/paste quote from an email response I received from HP Total Care: "In order to help you relevantly I would like to request you to please revert back to Vista operating system and check whether the issue is persisting or not. If the issue is still persisting after reverting the operating system back to vista then we need to perform system recovery."
After pursuing my case for 6 months -- finally getting my case escalated to two HP Customer Care Case Managers in Texas/Oklahoma -- the best "customer support" I received was what I'm sure was a truly heartfelt and sincere apology... Oh, neither case manager was "able" to send me either the true upgrade disks that would have preserved the features purchased, nor were they willing to send me a stand-alone installation of the CyberLink’s DVD Suite 6 that is currently offered with the HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series. (In massive frustration and anger, I bought the CyberLink’s DVD software - $100 I didn't have to spend on something I had already bought...)
A month later (late March), MY CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blu-Ray drive stopped working. After an hour online with Customer Care, I had finally convinced the rep that the drive was working fine after my ditching Vista Home Premium, and that its failure had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 Pro. After giving the guy my credit card number as security, I had a replacement drive shipped to me.
My personal recommendation: clearly state that the hardware failure had nothing to do with whatever software or OS you chose to install. Bottom line: your computer is only 8 months old and is still covered under warranty, they can replace the defective part, or you can return the entire machine. You probably want to be the "Nice Guy" but you need to remind them that you have other brands available to purchase.
I don't know if that helps or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent! :-)

OSX 10.8.5 + Pro Tools 10: Very strange issues - Firewire audio interface

I'm facing weird issues on my new system.
When I received my new iMac, I firstly used Migration Assistant. It didn't work well so I did a clean install. I installed the Digi003 drivers first, then PT, then all the plugins. Everything is up to date. Interface and computer are connected with a Firewire 400/800 cable and a brand new Thunderbolt/Firewire adapter. The computer is used for music production only and the hard drive is almost empty (not much data).
I know the Digi003 works fine as I used it with my former iMac which was a Core2Duo 3gHz with 4Go RAM running OSX 10.6.8 and PT 10.0.0. I used to set the buffer size on 128 to record audio. It worked well.
THE PROBLEMS ARE:
1- DigiAudioCore does not auto-launch anymore. If want to play a song with VLC, I have to manually launch DigiAudioCore.
2- PT stops (-6086) if I record with the buffer size set on 128. Buffer size on 256 is the minimum and PT still bugs sometimes even if there is only one track and no plugins in a 44.1kHz / 24bits session.
3- CPU spikes too if I have just a couple of plugins engaged.
4- I did some tests with an RME Fireface 800 and a Motu 828 MKII and I got the same issues (-6101). I still have to do a test with an USB interface.
5- Sometimes the iMac bugs when I open the System Prefs but it works normally after a few seconds.
I don't know what are the causes but it seems that there is a bandwidth problem caused by Thunderbolt/Firewire connection. I tried a brand new FW800 cable between the Fireface 800 and the computer but I got the same issues. Maybe the hard drive???
So now I really need some help to solve once for all these problems. I hope I don't have a do a clean install again!!!
Thanks in advance.

Files transferred to external HD end up in trash - very strange issue

Hi,
I seem to be having a very strange issue, hopefully somebody can help or has seen this before.
Hardware: MacBook Air, Western Digital Passport external HD, 250gb, formatted NTFS.
Software: OSX 10.7 Lion, Paragon (allows me to write to an NTFS formatted HD)
Issue Summary: I copy something to the external HD; I empty trash; the file I copied is deleted from the external HD. It doesn't happen every time.
I do also seem to have a persistent folder in trash called "WD Sync Data" that won't go away unless I re-delete it as it's also in the root of the drive. Not sure if this is related somehow.
Recently I copied 3 video files inside a folder to the HD, then disconnected the HD. When I reconnected it a while later and noticed that inside the "WD Sync Data" folder in trash were the 3 files I'd copied. I then looked inside the same folder on the root of the drive and the files were there, instead of inside the folder that I'd copied to the drive, which had vanished. If I hadn't noticed and had emptied the trash, those files would've been deleted.
It's definitely happened more than once; last time I actually deleted the files from my computer after copying, then emptied trash, and they were gone from the external HD also.
I've only found one person who seemed to be experiencing a similar problem back in 2010. It sounds similar though it could've been user error: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/188224-weird-external-hard-driv e-trash-problem-help-please.html
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?

Quick update: I ran a verify then a repair in Disk Utility as there were a couple of errors. Hopefully this has solved the issue, however it'd still be interesting to know if anyone's come across this before and what caused it?

My airport problem has returned big time --Need some Help!!

Aloha once again:
I though that this was fixed by simply changing channels on my airport router, but that fix only lasted for a few days, but now it's back and even worse. Let me give you some background on this problem. Here's my original message concerning the problem:
I have my Airport Router connected to the Internet via DSLcable. I then tie my two computers into the internet via their airport cards. For about 6 months this system has been working just fine. Recently my desktop computer quit listening to the router and can no longer connect to the internet. It shows no signal strength and the name of the network on the Airport is not seen in the "connect to internet" panel. The same Airport works just fine on my LapTop and I am using it right now to get this message off to the internet.
I have fixed permissions, removed the airport card and cleaned the connector, the antenna plug and removed the system configuration folder from library preferences all to no avail!
This problem has been hounding me, intermittently, for over a year now What can I do to remedy this??? HELP!!!!

The suggestion to change channels, that came from this original request, worked but just for a very short time. Now I have to shut down my computer overnight to get connected and then it only lasts for several hours and the connection quits.
I thought maybe heat was a problem, but the last time it happened I opened the computer and played a large fan right on the card. This did not help. I shut it down for the night and it was fine the next morning for about 2 hours.
One new data point; if I turn off just the airport on my laptop computer overnight, that will fix the problem for a short time also.
Still need some help!!!

First, power off both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
Wait a few minutes, then power up the Time Capsule first, and let it run for a few minutes.
Temporarily, move the AirPort Express to the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Express and power it up.
If the Express powers up correctly, power it off again and move it approximately half the distance between the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage. Try to minimize obstructions like walls, ceiling, heavy furniture, etc as much as possible.
Please report on your results.

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Need some help with the Select query.

Need some help with the Select query.
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
select single vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
        VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
        ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
       END OF IT_REJ.
This is causing performance issue. They are asking me to include the where condition for this select query.
What should be my select query here?
Please suggest....
Any suggestion will be apprecaiated!

Developer

Hello Everybody!
Thank you for all your response!
I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?

Earlier :

VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,

END OF IT_REJ.
Now :
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
I guess this will fix the issue correct?
PLease suggest!

We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help

Greetings all -
We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
(SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
(2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?
tia -
Jim

Hello,
We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:
Metalink Note 781763.1 (Migration from fast single threaded CPU machine to CMT UltraSPARC T1 & T2)

A VERY Strange Issue. Need some help... !!!
