Another twist on the endash conversion problem

Hi everyone -
I know that there are several posts out here about the
conversion form X5 to RH 7.0 and "&endash;" appearing in the
actual compiled HTML instead of an actual –. Those have been
very helpful to me in getting my head around why I was seeing code
in my compiled help!!
We have fixed all the erroneous &endash appearances in
our documentation, and have installed the 7.0.2 patch that has the
fix for when we open any of our other projects. So, here's what's
strange. I seem to be able to insert an endash just fine on my
computer using the Insert Symbol menu and the short cut Alt 0150
and things compile fine. Endashes looking like endashes. However,
my coworker, who is running the same version of RoboHelp with all
the patches that I have, is not able to insert the endash. It looks
fine in the WYSIWYG view in RoboHTML, but when she compiles, or
when she uses the preview (Eyeglasses icon), the dash displays as
&endash in the text. Her instance does not however convert all
the correct appearances of an endash... seems to only be anything
new that she adds.
Any ideas? Our current work around is for her to use a
regular -, which is an ok work around, but I'd like a solution if
possible. We've looked for settings that might be different,
missions fonts, etc, and have come up with nothing.
Thanks!
Heather

If you want to test the reliability of your hard disks copy some huge files while the system is under stress such as with Prime95 running at high priority and then binary compare them. Of course doing so may very well corrupt your HD...
Unfortunately it seems that most of the threads contain half-truths or misconceptions. For instance it appears that with the Neo you need to set the AGP to 67 or 68 to get it to lock while you don't with the Neo2, but I see lots of Neo people telling Neo2 people they need to change it. That's both the beauty and the difficulty with forums such as this. You will probably get lots of advice and some of it may even be right.
There are various tools that ostensibly show the actual AGP frequency and they don't show anything but 66 when I OC. OTOH most of the fields show glaring errors probably due to bugs so who can really trust them? Ironically nVidia's nVSystemUtility is one of them. Someday I hope someone who can do something about it actually notices and tries to fix them.

Another post regarding the latest iTunes problems - with a twist!

Hi,
I have a 3G iPod and iTunes7. I previously synched my iPod via a PC (shudder) and when I got my macBook this week decided to use that instead.
So, I copied my music across and upgraded iTunes to 7.0.1 little knowing the problems surrounding this release.
Obviously since then I've had the regular problems such as the mac not seeing the iPod at all, freezing during sync process etc etc etc.
So, having looked at the plethora of advice on here I erased the iPod, restored it, uninstalled and re-installed 7.0.1 and hey presto it started to sync....
However, it only did a few tracks then froze again. I then decided to get rid of 7.0.1 and go back to 6.5. I followed the instructions of a user heree and deleted the receipts and iTunes library file etc and tried again.
After having to restore the iPod once more I synced. Things seemed fine, my tunes were flying on and all was well in the world, until I got to track 3068 of 5122. At this point it froze again and I had to pull the iPod off its dock and reset!
Now, I could understand this happening on 7.0.1 but why on 6.5?
If anyone could give me any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris

Sorry Chris, but can you elaborate on your process?
re 1. How? By doing a search for 'itunes'?
re 2. How did you erase the ipod? with disk utility?
re 3. My 3G ipod is not recognized via firewire (only usb). So restoring is impossible, as it needs be connected with firewire to do so. solution?
thanks for your help
Also, just FYI for others - following the instructions from another posting, I had erased my ipod with disk utility, started in windows via bootcamp, and restored. but now my ipod is windows formatted. and still doesn't work in osx with firewire...

Navigate to another page in the same window problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the following scenario:
When a user clicks on a link in a portal, a web dynpro page opens in new window with the url similar to this
http://server:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/runtime/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fCompany!2fIntranet_v2!2fApplications!2fZZ!2fPages!2fBrowseCopies
So basically in this way we only want to display this single application, without portal top level navigation, inner page, masthead etc.
The problem occurs when we try to implement navigation from this web dynpro application to another page
When we use WDPortalNavigation a new window opens but we want the navigation to happen in the same window.
We cannot use LinkToUrl control with _self parameter because its not supported.
We also cannot use HttpServletResponse by getting it through com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.adapter.core.IWDWebContextAdapter class.
We also cannot use ExitPlugs because the error occurs with the message that the ExitPlugs cannot be used in portal.
Basically I need a redirect to another page. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Regards,
Ladislav

Hi,
the link which initially opens this web dynpro application page is contained in a html page.
Here is the code:
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
"ROLES://portal_content/Company/Intranet_v2/Applications/ZZ/Pages/PurchaseRequests",
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_HISTORY,
"requestNr="+wdContext.currentContextElement().getRequestNr());

Ladislav

Another question about the pitch slider problem

Hi everybody!
Anybody can answer me with the solution for my pitch slider? When i import a MP3 from itunes, press ctrl + alt + G and go to the track editor, check the 'follow tempo & pitch' and the pitch slider won't move.
I see answers to use the AUPitch Effect, but i think it's not 'sufficient' for me... if there's an functionality, I want to use, else it's a critical bug for me...
I'm a developer too and a bug without a solution is very very bad for the developer...
Searching in Google, apple support threads and nothing.... anybody else?
Best Regards!
Vinicius P. de Souza/Brazil
Please, sorry for my poor english!

I don't think Mr Jobs reads this forum.
What do you mean by "not sufficient"? The AUPitch plugin can be tuned a lot finer than the pitch slider - the only downsides I can see are (1) that it takes up one of the effects slots and (b) that two regions on the same track can't have different pitch corrections.

Twist on the sata oc problem

i've got an a64 3800+ with k8n neo2 mobo and 2x512 3700eb. i'm oc'd pretty stably at 11x230 with a raptor raid on sata 3/4 and 2x seagate 160s on sata 1/2.
i've read that the instabilities with sata and oc start around 220-230. here's my question, how do i check that the sata 1/2 ports are stable before i lose stuff on these drives. mind you, there's nothing that isn't backed up on these drives but it'd be nice to know that they're going to be free from data corruption at 230.

Problem in the character conversion

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem in the character conversion
I am posting data from SAP to third party system using XI , by converting whole input message to a String .I am using SOAP adapter to communicate XI to third party system.
Thirdparty system needs String to be wrapped in CDATA so that it will not choke by looking at the special characters. I did Wrap the output string in CDATA, using ABAP mapping but when I do that XI is converitng arrow brackets < and >. into &lt and u2018&gtu2019 my assumption is it is double encoding.
example -
before map - <AppSystemInfo>
after mapping it is converted as - <![CDATA[ &ltAppSystemInfo&gt]]>

Did you try to see the output?
bcz if you are trying this in mapping testing it will show you like this as this conversion if for xml, so xml will not do anything wrong with the special characters, so for that special characters will be converted like that.
Once try to run end to end interface and try to see at receiver side that how data looks like.
Thanks,

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

Problem with the date conversion

Hi Friends,
i am facing the problem with the date conversion, Actuall my requirement is to pass the date to the screen based on the user setting roles(SU01).
I have fetched the user setting date format by using the funciton module SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS, The function module picks the exact user date setting (Like as MM/DD/YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, DD.MM.YY).
After that i have implemented the FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT funciton module for converting of the user role setting date format into system date format.
for the english language case the funciton module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT works fine but the funciton module not supported for other languages
Can you please provide the Function Moudle for user setting date conversion.
The funciton module is most important for us,
Thanks
Charan

Hope this logic helps you.
DATA LF_DATE TYPE DATS VALUE '21122010'. " 21-dec-2010
DATA LF_DATE_BI(10).
WRITE LF_DATE TO LF_DATE_BI. "Now LF_DATE_BI contains the date in user format
"Now populate the value LF_DATE_BI to the screen field

Creating and using a calculated field in business rule from the currency conversion of another field.

Hello,
I'm creating a calculated field with a set currency for a business rule. I'm planning to use it as a deficiency criteria. I want the values to come from the currency conversion of another field. Can someone provide me the step by step procedure on how to do it?
Some documents would be great.
I've been trying to do it on my own but I've gotten lost.
Thank you.

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,

Try deleting and redownloading again, this time with simultaneous downloads disabled.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.

Where did you put the LR catalog?
Did you install the same version of LR, which one?
OS and version?
Open the folder where the catalog (*.lrcat) is located. If you see a file with lock in it while LR is not running, delete it.
Now try to start LR again.

Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall

Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall and both phone and laptop are conected to the same wifi, i also tried to connect it manually with the ip address and still no connection, can you help??

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.(No data loss) Try it again.

A3 Conversion problems SOLVED for the moment.

When I first launched A3 and began the conversion process, I ran into the same problems as others here. All 8 processors on my Mac Pro were maxed out. Other apps ran glacially slow. And the conversion process simply stalled with no progress having been made after 12 hours.
Before I began the A3 conversion, I had updated my Vault.
Last night, I deleted the in-conversion library, and made a duplicate of my Vault for safety. I then rebooted my Mac Pro in 64-bit mode pressing 6 and 4 at boot.
I launched A3, turned off Faces (for the moment) and created a new library in the original location. A3 will not directly open or convert the A2 vaults so my vault had to be imported.
A3 has now been importing and converting my A2 vault for 12 hours and it's making good progress. All of the masters and projects have been imported. A3 is now half way through processing (upgrading) the 30,000 masters (basically a mix of Canon 6Mp and 10Mp RAW images) in my library. The processors almost never max out and the computer is responsive.
So far, so good.
Cheers.

Using A2, I was able to successfully restore my library from the A2 vault. I took care not to use any of the tools within A2 just in case programming conflicts existed due to having both A2 and A3 installed.
After the restore had completed, I quit A2, copied the A2 library to its normal location, and then launched A3 using the Option key to allow me to specify which library to open.
A3 offered to upgrade the library, and I agreed, also allowing it to upgrade all photos to A3 standards.
Note. I had Faces turned off at the time.
The library upgrade proceeded flawlessly.
Once completed, I browsed my library. There were still a few green Mark III previews, and my Mark III images were still being processed using the A2 processor.
I then deleted the old A2 vault, and created a new one from A3 to replace it. A3 has just finished backing up my library to the new vault.
(Note. At all times during this procedure, I've had at least 3 copies of my library including the one in use by A3. If you lose a digital photo, *it's gone*. Don't take risks.)
My next step will be to select all of the photos and reprocess them using the A3 Processor ( *not recommended* if you're a professional photographer who makes money from their photos and has spent hundreds of hours adjusting and perfecting your photos for your clients. Do your own testing before deciding whether to reprocess).
I'll then update the vault before proceeding to turn on Faces. If the Faces process corrupts the library, I'll be able to restore from the vault.
Recommendations
Boot in 64-bit mode if you can, anytime before launching A3.
Back up your A2 library to a vault.
Relaunch A2 holding the command-option keys, and repair the library. If you have time, consider rebuilding the library (although that option might not have been available in A2).
Launch A3 holding the option key down.
When given the option, create a new library. This will give you the opportunity to do:
Turn off Faces in Preferences.
From the File menu, choose Switch to Library and choose your A2 library.
Continue...
Bugs
Previews are sometimes not updated correctly. A forced Generate Preview is required.
My A3 vault turned yellow after making a few adjustments to my images. When I clicked to update the vault, I was shown the same warning dialog that others have reported:
Aperture Update Vault error text:
*Not Enough Disk Space*
The vault "Aperture Vault" does not have enough space to hold your library.
17179869169.15 GB is needed, but only 82.38 GB is available.
*Final Recommendation*
If you're a professional photographer, wait for the update before upgrading to A3 :–)
Cheers all.
