After the last update on Mac os 10.9.2 end of April - I

After the last update on Mac os 10.9.2 end of April - I opened Pagemaker and my whole system crashed after talkign with Apple, I had to erase everything on my hard drive. I finally got it fixed and re-installed pagemaker cs5 and a few other program that I HAD to have while I was on vacation. When I got home, I tried installing CC and various programs (pagemaker, indesign, photoshop etc. Had to erase all of the other adobe programs and start from scratch. Every time I open ANY adobe products all of my "white space" is pink and white vertical striped in EVERY program. Apple mail, contacts etc. If I completely shut down the computer and then restart everything is fine until I open an adobe product again. I can't seem to get any help out of Adobe, does any one have any suggestions before I cancel my subscription entirely?
Thank you in advance,
Janie

Mac Pro 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon (April 2007) - Hard Drive Upgrade

My hard drive is making rather worrying clicking noises so I think it's time to (very quickly) pick up a new drive.
I'm a little confused about what kind of drive I should order. The drive it came with is a Seagate Barracuda ATA. Would anyone be kind enough to advise if I would be able to use an SATA II drive? I'm looking at the WD Caviar Black 1TB as they seem to have good reviews.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Please excuse my ignorance but when I look at my drive in about my Mac it says ATA. There wouldn't be any issues given this is an older Mac Pro from April 2007?
There is an ATA section in System Profiler (from "About This Mac"'s "More Info" button), but it for the optical drives. The hard drives are in the "Serial-ATA" section.

im running OSX 10.7.4

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Can anyone help me find a song I heard over and over in St. Lucia in April, 2007? It was a reggae or soca song that was played regularly in the resort we stayed at and all over the island where we visited. I need a few options to listen to and confirm.

How to set up open&close posting period to process year-end at April

Hi FICO GURUs,
I m a new student in FICO, here i have a question as following, ask for help,
For the open period. If we need to clearing till April, how do we do for that? How to set up in open and close posting period?
Any responses will be awarded.
Thanks a lot!
Samson

In OB52 you need to manage open periods related to FI. Any periods which are not managed here implies those periods are closed
Ex: From Period Year To Period Year
04 2008 04 20008
This means 4th Period of 2008 is open and all other periods are closed.
Also you can open and close period seperately for General Ledger and Subledgers
Types A,D,K,M are subledgers and S type is for ledger.
There will be seperate open and close periods for FI,MM and CO modules
FI- OB52
CO-OKP1
MM- MMPV

Hi Liam, I was using that new dropdown section but the Meta Description wasn't saving. I did 10 yesterday and today some were missing which I'd definitely done yesterday. (Maybe it's something to do with onesaas which exports and reimports the products to sync with our accounting and inventory system?)
To be on the safe side I'm now copying the data from meta description into a custom 1 field in case it vanished again i can recopy and paste it back and not loose hours of rewriting etc.
Plus I found the tag to show the more options-keywords on the pages too.
So what i've learnt (in case anyone else is as lost as me..)
Don't touch product page properties. (I'm going to go through and delete all mine)
On the product large layout page have:
<html>
    <head>
        <title>{tag_productmetatitle}</title>
        <meta content="{tag_productmetadescription}" name="description" />
        <meta content="{tag_tags}" name="keywords" />
        <meta content="{tag_productmetatitle}" property="og:title" />
        <meta content="{tag_productmetadescription}" property="og:description" />
    </head>
(Does that sound good Liam?)

Empty ZENworks Window(NAL) upon login-April 2013 follow-up

I know this is from an older post back on April 9, 2013, but I am still experiencing the same issue. I have troubleshooted this to no end since then, but have not come up with a solution yet. Since the original post, I have upgraded my ZENworks servers to 11.2.3a and have done the same on my clients. Sometimes the only solution I can find is to uninstall and re-install the ZENworks agent. I can't seem to find what is causing this as the issue is sporadic and not occurring everywhere.
Any ideas? I have copied the original post below.
Thanks.
Scott
There is a cache corruption issue that I am also experiencing that I believe
MU2 and now 3a resolves. I have had to do exactly what you are doing.
waiting for the early adapters to shake out the current SP before I install.

I am having periodic issues in which users report that the ZENworks
Application Window is empty upon login. The bundles are shortcuts to run
..exe files that are installed on the workstations, web url shortcuts,
shortcuts to run .exe files on a network server. These bundles will not
show up when there are or are not requirements for the bundle and does
not depend on the user that logs in. I have the shortcut for the
ZENworks Application Window in the "Startup" folder for all user in
WinXP and in the c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start
menu\programs\startup .
What I have found that works to get the applications to re-appear for
the users is to re-register the computer with - zac reg -g
https://servername .
The particulars:
ZENworks version-11 sp2
ZENworks servers - four(4) primary servers; Windows 2008R2 sp1
ZENworks database - Windows 2008R2 sp1; SQL 2008R2 sp2
workstation OS - Windows 7 or WindowsXP
Windows 2008R2 AD domain
Any thoughts on why this happens?
Thank you.
Scott

This sounds like it could be the problem we had with earlier ZCM
versions that the local db cache would get corrupt in the ZEN agent,
causing the machine to appear as if it's unmanaged. To help identify
if you might still be experiencing this, the next time this happens
would you do a zac cc followed by a zac ref on the machine and see if
the bundles come back?

The older version allowed me to save all open tabs by giving it a name, i.e. April 29, but I can't find it in the new version. Is there anything like it available? If so, I really want it back

Tonight, for example, I have many tabs open which I'd like to close but re-open tomorrow.
I'd like to save them all as "April 30" in my Bookmarks... the 0ld version allowed me to do this, but I can't find this in the new version.
The only way I don't seem to lose those open tabs I'm working with is by doing "Contol + Delete", but I know this shouldn't be done all the time...
There must be a better way, but if there isn't, would I be able to get back and work with the old version?
