  • I need advice about being part of the Twitter Army of Awesome Help

    I am grateful for the fact of Mozilla and I use Twitter a lot.
    Although I am not technically competent, I do have experience of using Mozilla and Thunderbird for quite some years and am willing to share my experience.
    I obviously do not want to make matters worse for questioners and need some advice about how to begin.
    Is there a Forum where Folk such as me can share experiences of answering Tweets and also just be given examples how the system works, please, or might it be better for me to resign before I start rather than cause complications for anyone?

    Thanks - I hope to have a check there, when I have more time, meanwhile I see that separately I have been sent an email asking for my experience etc.. -
    I plan to attend to that when I am less pressed for time, it may not be for some while though - my spirit is willing but resources few, but if I just learn to do some small things it spreads the load - and I guess I have made a very small start - I have wondered about it for years but that Awesome Tweet was the prompt that got me this far!

  • Macbook Internet Network Hacking (Help Please!)

    Hi, Thanks for looking...  I am concerned that my apartment neighbor (a computer network engineer) might be trying to hack my Macbook and snoop around with my internet usage, and possibly access my Macbook remotely. Could someone please answer a few questions to ease my concerns please? (The Macbook is connected directly to the broadband modem and there is no wireless internet involved.)
    // I suspect he might have gotten physical access to my broadband modem and seen it, is there any information on the modem itself that would give him access to my macbook and internet usage? (The modem says: cable RF MAC Address... and a serial number)
    // How easy is it to hack a specific Macbook? Say if my neighbor was indeed a hacker, and wanted to mess with me for whatever reason, would it actually be possible to find out my internet IP address (could he hack the ISP?) to snoop around with how I use the internet? (The Macbook now has the firewall enabled and file sharing, etc. switched off.)
    I know very little about this computer networking stuff, so I'm thinking the worst scenario is happening (which is hopefully far-fetched and exaggerated.) If anyone could help me by sharing their knowledge that would be an awesome help! Thanks!

    Depending on the router, it may be very easy for him to hack it, whether he has seen it or not. If you believe this may have happened, see How to manage a hacked wireless router.
    As for hacking the Mac, that's not a significant concern unless he has had unmonitored physical access to the machine. If he has, the only way to be sure he hasn't installed something to monitor you is to erase the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch.
    If he is able to get on the same network as you - which you should make sure to prevent by securing your wireless router - be sure everything in System Preferences -> Sharing is turned off. If you must have a service there turned on, be sure it can only be accessed using a strong password.

  • Format new GTech so it does not cause BOOT ISSUES (follow up to previous post)?

    someone on a previous thread (name is escaping me but they are always an awesome help) clued me in to the idea that my GTech external drive was preventing proper Option Boot on startup due to something in the ware on the drive.
    i now have a new replacement drive (same exact drive) and i am wondering if simply formatting the drive in some way will avoid this issue or if in fact it was simply something bad having to do with the drive or if in fact it is likely that the new drive will have the same problem.
    unfortunatly i cannot find the thread (ATM) where they gave me a specific question to ask of the drive manufacturer.
    anyway, i am wondering if i should sell the replacement and get a new brand or if i should send the old one back and use this new one.
    TIA

    Just to say there ARE lots of Apps on BlackBerry World, so potential BB purchasers should not let that stop them, and some very good free ones, excellent -- BlackBerry Travel is really good, and OsmAnd maps are fabulous, big to download, but when you get it you'll be amazed. Just download a provincial or smaller map to start, because they are huge files and very detailed, but lots of trails and paths are on them... good for park trails and such.

  • How to tune data loading time in BSO using 14 rules files ?

    Hello there,
    I'm using Hyperion-Essbase-Admin-Services v11.1.1.2 and the BSO Option.
    In a nightly process using MAXL i load new data into one Essbase-cube.
    In this nightly update process 14 account-members are updated by running 14 rules files one after another.
    These rules files connect 14 times by sql-connection to the same oracle database and the same table.
    I use this procedure because i cannot load 2 or more data fields using one rules file.
    It takes a long time to load up 14 accounts one after other.
    Now my Question: How can I minimise this data loading time ?
    This is what I found on Oracle Homepage:
    What's New
    Oracle Essbase V.11.1.1 Release Highlights
    Parallel SQL Data Loads- Supports up to 8 rules files via temporary load buffers.
    In an Older Thread John said:
    As it is version 11 why not use parallel sql loading, you can specify up to 8 load rules to load data in parallel.
    Example:
    import database AsoSamp.Sample data
    connect as TBC identified by 'password'
    using multiple rules_file 'rule1','rule2'
    to load_buffer_block starting with buffer_id 100
    on error write to "error.txt";
    But this is for ASO Option only.
    Can I use it in my MAXL also for BSO ?? Is there a sample ?
    What else is possible to tune up nightly update time ??
    Thanks in advance for every tip,
    Zeljko

    Thanks a lot for your support. I’m just a little confused.
    I will use an example to illustrate my problem a bit more clearly.
    This is the basic table, in my case a view, which is queried by all 14 rules files:
    column1 --- column2 --- column3 --- column4 --- ... ---column n
    dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- data1 --- data2 --- data3 --- ... --- data 14
    Region -- ID --- Product --- sales --- cogs ---- discounts --- ... --- amount
    West --- D1 --- Coffee --- 11001 --- 1,322 --- 10789 --- ... --- 548
    West --- D2 --- Tea10 --- 12011 --- 1,325 --- 10548 --- ... --- 589
    West --- S1 --- Tea10 --- 14115 --- 1,699 --- 10145 --- ... --- 852
    West --- C3 --- Tea10 --- 21053 --- 1,588 --- 10998 --- ... --- 981
    East ---- S2 --- Coffee --- 15563 --- 1,458 --- 10991 --- ... --- 876
    East ---- D1 --- Tea10 --- 15894 --- 1,664 --- 11615 --- ... --- 156
    East ---- D3 --- Coffee --- 19689 --- 1,989 --- 15615 --- ... --- 986
    East ---- C1 --- Coffee --- 18897 --- 1,988 --- 11898 --- ... --- 256
    East ---- C3 --- Tea10 --- 11699 --- 1,328 --- 12156 --- ... --- 9896
    Following 3 out of 14 (load-) rules files to load the data columns into the cube:
    Rules File1:
    dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- sales --- ignore --- ignore --- ... --- ignore
    Rules File2:
    dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- ignore --- cogs --- ignore --- ... --- ignore
    Rules File14:
    dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- ignore --- ignore --- ignore --- ... --- amount
    Is the upper table design what GlennS mentioned as a "Data" column concept which only allows a single numeric data value ?
    In this case I cant tag two or more columns as “Data fields”. I just can tag one column as “Data field”. Other data fields I have to tag as “ignore fields during data load”. Otherwise, when I validate the rules file, an Error occurs “only one field can contain the Data Field attribute”.
    Or may I skip this error massage and just try to tag all 14 fields as “Data fields” and “load data” ?
    Please advise.
    Am I right that the other way is to reconstruct the table/view (and the rules files) like follows to load all of the data in one pass:
    dim 0 --- dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- data
    Account --- Region -- ID --- Product --- data
    sales --- West --- D1 --- Coffee --- 11001
    sales --- West --- D2 --- Tea10 --- 12011

    And the third way is to adjust the essbase.cfg parameters DLTHREADSPREPARE and DLTHREADSWRITE (and DLSINGLETHREADPERSTAGE)
    I just want to be sure that I understand your suggestions.

  • ITunes, ID3 Tags, and Metadata

    Oh hai der!
    I'm new and I'm so sorry if this questioned has been answered before. But I've done some research on the web and I've got some questions about iTunes and what it does to my music.
    First, here's my situation. I love iTunes, it's awesome, helps me edit my library beautifully. But that's only when all the songs, movies, videos, and so on have their information. Otherwise it's a huge mess. Which is what I'm dealing with.
    I like to use XBMC. I own a Samsung Galaxy S2, and an iPod Touch. The files I've edited and whose data I've put in manually, show up wonderfully on my iPod. But not my Samsung and media library software, or other device. I was wondering if iTunes actually edits the metadata and ID3 tags of the actual file in my computer. Not just in the iTunes program. See, let's say I have a song titled "Track 01 ", and in iTunes I change the name of the track to "Yesterday". Will iTunes actually edit the title of the song WITHIN the file itself? Or just in iTunes itself? So that after I edit the title within iTunes, it shows up in other software, such as XBMC, and devices like my Galaxy S2 as "Yesterday" and not "Track 01"?
    I don't get my music from iTunes. I've only got a few albums from iTunes, that's it. But for the rest, they're not from iTunes. It may not sound like a lot to most of you. But I've got a library that's over 50GB's large in music. That's over 8,000 songs. Only about 1,000 of those songs have their data such as lyrics, artwork, artist, album,  and so on. But for the rest of the 7,000 songs, it's just a mess. I've looked up many programs that edit my library for me. But I'm in a situation where I can't spend much money. So I'm looking for freeware. But that's not all.
    I'm looking for a piece of software that'll implement lyrics, artwork, album, artist, etc, into the song file itself. Or just in iTunes? I know of TuneUp, and Rinse My Music. I was wondering if there was other software out there? I've also heard of Beets, but it seems way too complicated for me to install properly.
    So to summarize, what I want to know is:
    1) Is there some freeware out there that'll help me edit my iTunes library?
    2) Does editing song info within iTunes actually do anything to the song file itself?
    3) Will I have to use some other software that organizes my media and actually edits a file's properties to display proper data?

  • Two of the same artists showing up on my ipod when I add 1 specific album

    OK so here's what's happening.  I downloaded a rolling stones album "Let It Bleed," off the internet.  And I made a file for it, put the songs in the file, and put the file in itunes. So I have ALL the songs, album artwork etc in itunes, but the songs were out of order. SO... I looked it up, saw that fixing the track listing on each song when you hit "Get Info" on a specific song, would put the song in the correct space. So I numbered all the songs, 1-9, ON ITUNES!  THEN... I TRANSFERRED the album to my ipod, and guess what happened?  Well, all the songs showed up correctly, numbered and all, with everything I had intended. But after I transferred the album, it showed under artists, The Rolling Stones, TWO OF THE SAME ONE!  TWO ROLLING STOnes with the same songs and albums.  And when I deleted one song from one artist, it deleted it from the second artist too..... and before i put the track listings down for each song on the album, it worked! I could transfer the album no problem except that the songs weren't in order. But as soon as i numbered the songs, it double the artist Rolling Stones, ON MY IPOD ONLY! Not on itunes or my computer! So I need ACCURATE AWESOME HELPFUL GLORIOUS SAVING ANSWERS that will help me fix this problem.  THANK YOU I REALLY NEED THIS ALBUM PROPERLY ON MY IPOD BY TOMORROW SINCE I'M GOING ON A CAR TRIP

    Hello samanthaflora
    If you see a cloud option, then you have the option of Show All Music turned on. If you go to Settings > Music and look for that option, you can turn it off to not show any of your purchased history to show up in the Music App. Try that and then sync the music again to see if it still shows up as double.  If it is, then could you take a screen shot and add it to the reply so that way we can see what you are describing to better assist you.

  • I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5? if so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.

    I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5?
    If so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.
    I have moved countries (opposite side of world) so i do not have my install disks, or the disks that came with my Mac.
    Where can i get the 10.5 upgrade from?
    Do i need my original disks that came with my Mac?
    - Thanks if anyone can help
    Note:
    I have never had any problems with my G5, it's been my awesome helper these past 7 years, I can't say the same thing for my new Mac, but it seems now my poor G5 is slowly being made redundent because they no longer write software for it.
    I don't see why i should pay for a new Mac because my old one does not always function on the web, or having a new printer because it does not support the new software.
    My New Mac Laptop has had no end of troubles since i bought it less than a year ago.
    What happened to Mac being a sign of Quality??

    First off, all upgrades can potentially break a system.  First and foremost, backup your data before installing anything.  Next read this tip as 10.5 loses Classic compatibility, and has these other issues outlined on the tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275

  • QM Sample of a detailed Blueprint process for Quality Defects to Resolution

    Hello SAP Guru's,
    My business is looking to make a serious investment in a Quality Management System.  We are in the process of selling SAP but found one major gap to sell the entire SAP QM module.   
    Before we do a draft or complete flow or blueprint of our own, we do not have a sample to sell these processes to the business for them to even consider SAP. 
    We found many documents and presentations on CAPA, 8D, Notifications but nothing at a high-level that would Cleary sell it.
    When looking at the SAP QM system  it has integration points to just about every SAP module.  To explain the capabilities in an email or a word document is not enough to really highlight the process capabilities of QM - SAP.
    Since I know some companies have implemented the SAP QM system in various industries, we would appreciate if you could provide feedback on your experience and provide a sample of an overall process flow or blueprint  (Draft / other) that has been documented to help us sell the SAP QM system as a whole.
    The specific areas that we are working on are and we do not want to design the car before first inventing the wheel:
    DEFECT's materials today we use QM - QN QN
    Customer, Vendor and internal Complaints.
    Engineering defects.
    CA/PA - seems to fit into what action you have taken to resolve the above.
    8D
    Inspection Characterisic Processing
    SPC
    And Solutions  & Lessons Learned for each.
    These items seem to fit into the same process inputs and outputs at a high level, so sample documents that you have implemented would we an awesome help.
    Best Regards,
    Ed

    You can say to client that vendour evaluation can be mapped in SAP- QM.
    you can map material rejections in SAP-QM.

  • Can't use DW WYSIWYG with php?

    Hi,
    I'm a graphic designer who has used Dreamweaver for years to design HTML and CSS. I am comfortable jumping back and forth between code and design views to manipulate the code as needed.
    I have a new co-collaborator on a project who is extremely knowledgeable about backend/programming stuff (I'm not) and he cut up my original HTML files and turned them into .php files. For efficiency, he is using include files all over the place, which I can totally understand.
    However, as I'm way more comfortable designing visually, with the awesome help of DW CS4's interface and code navigator, I feel like I'm floundering trying to manipulate the design now that I'm working with the includes.
    I successfully installed XAMPP and am able to view the "complete" web page design using //localhost, or  if I'm using "Live View," however, that's the only way to see it all come together. Also, I am now unable to use the code navigator to jump right to the CSS for any given item. Basically, I feel like everything has to be hand coded and previewed in the browser for every single change.
    Am I missing something here? Now that all the files are set up as .php, can I no longer use the WYSIWYG features of DW???
    Someone pleeeeeease tell me I just need to set some sort of preference. I really need to be able to work these pages as if they are just HTML, with full DW interface "hand-holding" so to speak.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    -Karen

    It depends what you mean by the files being PHP. If the include files consist of HTML, you can certainly edit them, but not in the main file. You need to edit the include file. You cannot edit anything that is dynamically generated by PHP code in a WYSIWYG way.
    One way to deal with CSS in include files is to use Design Time Style Sheets (press F1 to look them up in the Help files).

  • Aperture 3 and photostream force quit

    I have latest updates to aperture applied. I share a library with iphoto. If i try to enable photostream from preferences a spinning beachball starts and the application becomes unusable. I have to force quit. Restarting doesnt fix it. I have repaird and rebuilt the database. I also notice that while the  application shows not responding their is also a photstream process running that is using up 100% of cpu? in the past i have tried delting preference files to no avail. Really need help here.

    I put them back but still need your awesome help in getting it to work in my current user account.
    Working in a different user account was meant as a test - a basic trouble shooting measure- not as a fix, see: Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Your result tells, that Aperture, your hardware, and your system are probably o.k., but some settings, startup items, Aperture plug-ins, preference panes used in your user account may be problematic.
    I'd start with trouble shooting the preferences and presets, as described in
    Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    Remove the file "com.apple.Aperture.plist" from your user library to the Desktop, and if that does not help, remove the presets.
    Remember to log off and on, before removing the preferences.
    The user preferences are hidden by default; reveal them from the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Quit Aperture, if it is running:
    Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
    From the "Preferences" folder  remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
    Then try to launch Aperture again.

  • Remove Quick Delete button in Outlook 2013?

    I've asked this
    here, but how do I remove the Quick Delete button in the Outlook view, but retain the Flag Status column?
    They seem to share the same column.
    Thanks.

    I can't comment on touch but with a mouse the only option this leaves us is to turn off the flag status column and forces every one who uses flags to right click or remember key commands.
    If there is always a delete X on the far right, I can live with that...
    What's really a problem is that if you alter the view setting > column order and try to move flag status anywhere else that isn't 5 pixels away from the delete X  it  always stays on the far right and it ignores the column settings
    that seems like a bug to me.
    I mean being able to customize for ones needs/taste is one the many things that makes outlook awesome, why take that away?
    not to mention this one should be pretty obvious as risky.
    i.e. oh this message is important, let me flag it and get back to it, oh crap i deleted it, arrg i'm using imap email like gmail on my non work profile, hitting ctrl + z doesn't really undo a delete ...sure you can manually find in the trash, but I wouldn't
    label that as a "awesome/helpful UI experience" more like, terrifying you for a few seconds UI. Even worse, if you are in hurry, you might not notice you've deleted it.

  • Installed applications do not appear in CC control app

    I have installed several apps (PS CC, Lightroom 5, Premiere CC and more) from the Creative Cloud control app (app name/window title: "Creative Cloud").
    However, at some point, some of the apps went missing from the creative cloud app, but are still installed and working as expected.
    My tab "Apps", under the heading "YOUR APPS (1)", show only Photoshop CC.
    How can I get the missing apps back in the control panel, without reinstalling them?
    (Addl. info: Lightroom 4 and/or 5 beta was installed stand-alone at some point before I started using Creative Cloud. But I reinstalled 5.2 through the CC control app. Eg. Premiere CC has never been installed outside the CC app)

    And did a test (with help from Adobe chat support) to;
    sign out and close CC desktop app
    delete %localappdata%\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    sign back in to CC
    Did not resolve it, though. Now trying just to install Premiere Pro CC from the list.
    BTW: Premiere Pro CC has been installed all the time, and is working as expected, it's just not showing up in the installed apps.
    CC desktop app even shows Premiere Pro wih an "Install" button. That's what I'm trying now.
    UPDATE: Again - awesome help from Dilip on chat support. After the reinstall, all works perfectly, and it's listed in installed apps now. (The reinstall is pretty seamless. It's one click and a long wait. All settings kept etc)

  • New to GB, basic question here:  from my board to Mac to burn CD...

    I have a Roland VS1680 (yes 10 yrs old, but works great!). It has all the inputs, effects, mixing and everything I am familiar with...but its CD burning is slow and old. I would like to come out of my board and into my Mac as one final (stereo) track.. so that I can the burn the CD's from the mac.
    How (and where) do I get the music (tracks) into the Mac? Some sort of USB interface is obvious, but what program in the Mac (garage band?) can do this?
    It would be nice to bring all of it into garage band as one final stereo track, and then maybe master the entire song as a simple 2 track dealio in GB..... then burn to cd!
    Uh, how the heck do I do that? What is the USB interface that I need?
    Thanks folks!

    Thanks! Awesome help. It looks like Apple sells some interface units that suffice. If I am only looking to take the mixed and final product from my Roland to GB is a basic $100 USB interface from the apple store going to be ok?
    Do I need to have a powered pre-amp? NOt even sure what that is, but it sounds like I should ask.. I think my roland takes care of that...
    Is that: preferences>Audio midi>Built in input the path for normal guitar or whatever item you would want to bring into GB? Or is this a special way for me bringing in the entire stereo tracked song?
    You should be aware that taking the stereo mix from the Roland, and channeling it through a series of extra digital to analog to digital conversions to bring it into GB will degrade the sound, so you want to do as little of that as possible. If you're just messing around, it might not matter, but if you want to maintain the sound quality of the Roland, the extra conversions could dull the audio.
    I believe the Roland has a digital out, so the very best way to bring the mix into GB is to transfer the audio digitally. If you can figure out a way to cable your roland's digital out to either your mac's digital line in (if it has one) or into a digital input of an interface, then you can get exactly what's in the roland into GB.
