B1 technical hearing sheet

Hi,
Is there a technical hearing sheet for b1 implementation?
In SAP ERP, there is a hearing sheet and I will ask the customer to fill in, such as the SID, SN, etc...
Thanks in advance.
BR,
Randy

Hi Randy,
What is the formal name for this hearing sheet ? The standard convention is important for communication in writing.
Thanks,

E72 - Honeymoon to Divorce.

Like many of you here, I've had quite a few mobile phones through the years and it's always a source of great excitement when a brand new phone lands on your desk. The new OS to explore, the Apps, the form factor. The downside of playing around with so many phones through the years is that there is no perfect device, no form factor that's perfect in every situation and no OS that can retain your interest beyond a few months before it's time to convince yourself that you need to try a new 'thing' which will solve everything for you (and make you more productive).
As long as you know this up front and understand your interest is going to stray, you can get a fairly balanced view of what makes a great, as opposed to a good phone. Here are my thoughts on the E72.
As a background to my adventure, I recently had an iPhone and although it's far from perfect I was fed up with the lack of a physical keyboard. It's not that I failed to bang an email out but I found it tedious when I made a typo and then had to spend 10 seconds trying to edit the message by tap'n'hold to move cursor, delete (x10), tap'n'hold to continue typing etc. It just got 'old' so I started to look for a device with a keyboard - remembering with fondness the keyboard on the old E61, Treo680 and even the Blackberry 8700 (love those clicky keys!).
Last October I bought an E63 because it was 'cheap' and to see if I could get back into using S60 + keyboard after such a long period in iPhone land. To my surprise, the E63 whilst creaky and a little too 'red' for me, was good, it, I even took it to Hong Kong on a trip and left the laptop behind as an experiment (it worked.. but only just) although it obviously had some shortcomings. Toy like Email client, browser standards, ram, camera etc.overall it was a positive experience that made me want to explore further.
I had bought a Nexus One in January the day it was released and although it's a super phone, it still had no keyboard and the Droid keyboard is awful so having had a half decent experience of the E63, I decided the E72 was the next best thing and decided to snap one up.
The Honeymoon / First impressions.
First impressions of the E72 is that it's a 'handsome' phone - not a good looking phone or a kiddy toy but a good, solid, classy looking phone for business. The keyboard was as good as the E63, the form factor was obviously near identical other than the materials being of higher grade and obviously it's slimmer and easier in the pocket. First impressions were very good.
The screen was a step back from most new phones, especially the Nexus One's gorgeous High-res effort but it's certainly clear and as it needs to be judged as a utility, not a spec-sheet competition so it fitted the job of a phone with a keyboard. The screen was clear and bright and easy to use.
Software seemed to be not much of a step up from the E63, I was expecting a higher grade of Application to be included and to my surprise (not disappointment) there was little on the surface to distinguish the E72 from the E63. I disliked the new transition effects as they felt like Nokia had iPhone envy rather than functional enhancements.
Camera quality was very good for a phone although I don't like the viewer application with its spinning wheel of pictures - iPhone envy again? what's wrong with a 5x5 thumb view that would work well with the D-Pad? Once again, it works but it's not designed to optimise the experience of the form-factor.
The touch-pad, I quite liked it, although I rely on the D-Pad more as it's just too small a surface to be useful.
The Email client. At first it felt like a step back from the E63, the E72 client seemed 'bare' for some reason and I also wanted to make the font smaller so I could see more email headers on the screen at once (cant do it), I put all of this down to the email client being prosumer rather than consumer
Overall, first impressions were good with the caveat of some changes to what I was used to, no bad thing.
Married life / day to day:
Day to day, as a Phone, the E72 is fantastic. Calling people by typing their name is so much easier than 'flicking' through lists, call quality is absolutely top notch, signal strength and 3G connectivity is years ahead of my old iPhone/Nexus/Blackberry/Treo and really shows that Nokia know how to make connectivity work from a technical perspective, something that almost every other company from HTC to Apple trail considerably behind on.
Short-cuts to communication 'tasks' are as good as it gets. Series60 is a superb, intuitive and well polished hierarchy of menus to get your calls and messages answered, read and replied to in record time. I can't praise the work that's been done over the years any higher.
Setting up email was easy enough as standard manual entries although after a week or so I decided to setup mail through OviMail - this was painful.
I'm pretty experienced in these things and technically very able (I'm into heavy tech for a few decades) but this was a challenge for me. Passwords, logins, usernames etc.. it all becomes one mixed up frustrating jumble that I think would have any mere mortal turned off or turn to their I.T. department in haste. It took me a couple of days to get it set up properly and even then it felt like it was hanging by its fingernails. Blackberry by contrast feels military strength compared to OviMail and BB's are far from a walk in the park when it comes to ease of setup. Once I did get OviMail setup, it did work but I always had the feeling that it might break at any minute if I touched the wrong option. To its credit, it never actually did break, but it just left a bad taste that I never quite got rid of.
Nokia are obviously moving heavily into services such as cloud infrastructure with Ovi services, Music etc. This push into services is being implemented the same way as Microsoft did a while back where none of the teams talk to one another other, it's all through a technical specification sheet. The E72 software works as silo-applications with each requiring the same login information being entered independently rather than simply log into Ovi services once, per device, and everything else flows. This constant entering of information per application is what makes S60 feel dated, it's unforgivable for a product manager of an integrated device like the E72 to let this pass. It either shows weak leadership within the product team or it shows a lack of cohesion between the teams within Nokia - again, a failure in leadership although higher up the chain of command. Yes, it's a big company but to let this happen shows the company has too many toothpaste managers and not enough tech savy people that love their work.
A second level of confusion is the PC software that's bundled and are encouraged to install. Nokia's PC suite is solid, but why am I encouraged to install Ovi software and map loaders which seem to replicate the same job? It's not a problem with the device itself, but it significantly dilutes the user experience to bemused confusion. Obviously this is not the E72 but companies can no longer separate user-experience from device experience, especially when they're intertwined to the degree that they are these days.
Setting up through a Mac was a lot simpler as you dont get all the Nokia apps, you just use iSync after manually searching for a plugin online. You loose some features but you do that with Macs anyway (yes.. I use one every day so stay away mac fanboys).
The Calendar and contacts apps are adequate but feel dated and slow and could do with some new views and features.
No Internet Radio feature as was in the E63.. I needed to scour the web to add this manually for some odd reason.
OviStore is an average implementation with some average applications. As the E72 is a prosumer phone, not having games and apps, whilst good to pass time on a 747 are far from needed and using the stock built in applications was fair enough.
Music player is 'functional' and did its duty without a hitch.
One thing that worked particularly well was Skype. I do a lot of international calls and I think the Nokia implementation is the best around, hopefully they can make more of this feature as times goes by.
Ovi/Nokia Maps. Where do I start with this? It's absolutely wonderful. I went a few trips to California, installed the map data on the device for California and Nevada and it worked perfectly. I bought a little car stand for $10 in Fry's electronics which worked for the trip and this just blew me away. Even with it's small screen, this has made me give away my Tom-Tom which I took with me on trips and never turned on once. Full marks.
Battery life is incredible, for a device in this day and age to last 4 days on a single charge is simply stunning. I'll put up with the lack of a decent movie player any day if it means I get 4 days out of a single charge. Once again, Nokia should shout about how awesome this is to anyone that will listen. iPhone users get trained into worrying about battery life and turning things off where possible, not having to worry about battery life is an absolute blessing. Well done Nokia.
To give an example, I drove from San Francisco to San Diego which takes 9 hours. I had the GPS running giving me directions, I had the Phone wired into AUX in the Car playing some Audio books for the entire duration and the battery life still had a good 2 days before needing a charge. The E72 battery life will forever go down in Legend as an 'I remember when' story.
Not that this piece is about comparisons with other Phones, but coming from the UK it means heavy roaming charges if I use data. I took a similar business trip with a Nexus One and it was pretty much useless as their GPS mapping software is US only in features and, it can't work with offline maps and would have cost me a pretty penny to use on a roaming contract with all the Data it would download. The Nexus one is arrogantly setup to be of use to US consumers, overseas users get a half-glass feature set (no turn by turn / street-view etc..).
The Divorce:
There is a time in the daily life of using a Phone where the 'unique characteristics' of the Phone start to become tedious. This happens with all phones and gadgets, if it didn't we'd all still be using Videostar VHS recorders (does that give my age away?).
After travelling up and down California, replying to a hundred or so emails over the course of a week, I noticed that I had just sent a handful of emails without being connected to Wifi. After examining a little further I worked out to my horror that the email client does not connect over Wifi - ever. It fails to work with Profiles, connection orders or anything remotely standard on almost any other Nokia/other device. Profiles for the uneducated should remain an unknown, it's a black art from a previous era that has no place in a modern day smartphone. Devices should simply connect over Wifi if connected, otherwise prompt the user if it's roaming - simple as that, no 'profile' needed. This is how all smartphones work, even the senile Blackberry OS does this out the box.
I foolishly presumed that as the old mule E63 has worked over Wifi, the E72 being an 'evolved' device would also have this feature as standard. Nokia took it out.. what the $£%$£?
I can only imagine at this point in time, Nokia deliberately engineered this deficiency to keep carriers happy. The E63 being 'consumer' can be used over wifi with a standard phone tariff, the E72 being a 'prosumer' device needs the user to buy a more expensive Smartphone tariff. I can't for the life of me work out why Nokia would remove a standard feature that was in all of their older phones.
This little oversight of the Email client not connecting or alerting me that it was using a non-wifi connection actually cost me over 100 euros in data charges. This is simply not acceptable, no excuses, no patch-it at some point please. It's simply stupid. Yes, I've used Profimail etc.. but should I need to on a messaging device? I bought the phone for this feature, paying to replace it is simply counter-intuitive when so many other options exist without wrestling with work-arounds.
Other than creating a hole in my wallet, I also through sheer paranoia removed all my Email accounts from Ovi and set them up as 'pull' accounts where I manually check my email. I need to do this simply as I travel so much and the roaming feature sometimes works - it's back to the holding on by your fingernails thing with this device, it should work but you're not quite sure.
Running the much loved Maps application brings up a notice asking to connect to download data - even after saying NO, I still fail to have faith in the profiles working which removes the confidence you have in the device, It removed the feeling that you're in control and that really gets to you after a while. If Email has been engineered to ignore profiles, what else if going on under the surface, I should not have to read forums to gain confidence and if I was a typical consumer I wouldn't know where to start to find this out.
Other problems starting to appear are that the E72 is starting to crash a few times every week, the dreaded space-bar problem has appeared, I can't upgrade the firmware for some reason even though I'm a few revisions behind (I bought it unlocked from Nokia), the back cover feels like it's starting to work loose and has fallen off a few times and the transition effects needed to be turned off (only half of them disappear). All of these things are in the forums here to some degree. Sometimes they annoy, sometimes not, but overall when you're having a tough day they all get to you.
Summary:
There's a scene in the Film "Flash Gordon" where a poor chap puts his hand in a tree trunk as a drunken game to see if the creature that lurks will bite him, he puts his hand in, smiles then slowly starts to pull his hand out before getting bitten just before he pulls his hand to safety - for some odd reason the E72 reminds me of that this. You approach with trepidation, become comfortable with the device then you get bitten just when you think all is well and you're about to make off with the cash.
The E72 is the end of an era. You can tell by Nokia's responses to the problems on the E72 that their corporate focus is no longer on developing S60 but maintaining it with minimal effort.
Their focus is now on Maemo and 300 other pressing priorities, their software engineers are stretched way too thin working on OviCloud services, Maemo and a multitude of new devices and holes/low quality are starting to become standard. This is starting to reflect on devices like the E72 which should be a flagship device but instead is not much more evolved than an 'old' E63 at half the price - which incidentally has an email client from the same codebase that can download over wifi. In many ways, plastic aside, I thought the E63 was better, more stable (for me) especially for the price.
Nokia will obviously keep churning out yearly revisions to the S60 line (C6, E5 etc). But you know for a fact that they're pretty much the same devices with a cavalier attitude to improvements and the least engineering time to fix bugs/features as they can get away with. Arrogant yes, damage to the Nokia Brand by doing this? Absolutely. It will take me 5 years before I return to a new Nokia device after seeing the speed of progress and responses despite some great promise. Look how quickly Google turned around a Nexus One update with multi-touch after an outcry - it can be counted in days after launch, not 'devices' as seems to be the case here.
The E72 device feels great, I love the form factor, the Keyboard is not the absolute best as that remains with Blackberry but it's certainly one of the very best. The phone functions are second to none.
Ovi-Maps is just brilliant and the Battery life is as covered above is the stuff of legend.
In many ways the E72 is the device I'm least able to move on from as there is so much to like and so much potential, but the amateur email implementation and creeping software problems makes this device seriously handicapped for anyone that travels or cares about the significant roaming fees that this device is designed to incur which is a genuine shame.
Hopefully these things will get fixed in firmware upgrades, I'm sure some of them will but why should I wait? this is not the 1990's - this is mature technology and a (very) mature Operating system which should be solid as a rock.
I like many on this forum would like to see Nokia do well but they've simply not stepped upto the plate by fixing basic feature holes nor have they communicated to the community that they're listening and will fix any of the problems. Instead they've announced new devices to replace the handsets that still have serious flaws. This is not the actions of a company that listens but a company that simply churns like a machine on a pre-set course with nobody at the wheel.
Despite much to like about the E72, I for the single reason that Nokia seem to have no ears to hear and no fingers to type, am out until further notice.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your kind words and replies to my experiences with the E72. Since writing the original post my Firmware has been updated not once, but twice no less.
As I bought the device 'vanilla' style from Nokia online, I have no idea why I was unable to use PCSuite to upgrade my firmware despite my E72 being clearly a few revisions behind, I also tried upgrading from the device itself and it gave me a firm but fair 'No'; one day after hammering the server for a few minutes with constant requests, Nokia's servers finally rolled over and let me download an upgraded firmware directly onto the device. I can only presume it was a load-balance issue with their servers although open to being educated otherwise, I have no idea why PCsuite/Ovi Suite failed to upgrade the E72 despite downloading the new firmware every time I checked for an upgrade. Not to worry, these things happen.
The new firmware (031.023) has some new features with a few new icons added and many bugs fixed. If I were to relate it to my original 'Honeymoon to Divorce' post, it's a bit like the Wife has put on some heels and lipstick and has lost a bit of weight in an attempt to win my affections (sorry female readers, I know it's unforgivably sexist).
In that spirit, and considering the Nexus One that I moved back to using is a poor quality phone (remember that function?) I thought I'd give the E72 another spin to see if it fixed my original problems. I reset the device, cleared the SD card and set the device up from what should be a clean and sparkly install.
You'll all be glad to hear I wont go into another vast post as most of my thoughts still stand, however:
Email:
The new email revision does fix some of the Wifi connection issues I was having. I'm glad to say it's faster and does indeed work over Wifi although it seems very slow when updating itself. Other phones seem to download a full header+message infinitely quicker that the E72. As I've been using the new firmware for a week solid, I'm increasingly annoyed that I need to download the HTML versions of email manually which takes terra-years; I believe the E71 email client can be configured to download HTML versions automatically as can my old E63 so why not the E72? Did someone 'merge' the old email source-code into Nokia messaging when they made the E72 client?
A new bug has appeared that seems to lock into a constantly 'downloading' logo loop - where it never completes the email download. I need to click 'cancel' manually then the email appears as if by magic. There are other niggles that have seemingly crept in such as when using the E72 without a SIM card, the email client will work for a few hours then simply stop connecting manually or automatically, needing a reset to come to life again. **Geek alert on** As an old games programmer, this looks to me like a memory leak problem that could be easily found (or a thread that's gone haywire) - especially considering good debug tools have been around since it's Psion Series 5 roots. **Geek alert off**.
I'm sure your mileage - or bugs - will be different from my own depending on your own unique circumstances but it's another of those two steps forward, one step back things which Nokia seem to do with the E-series.
What's frustrating is the phone part of the E72 is world-class which when coupled with a bottom of class email client it defeats the reason to have a QWERTY in the first place. I'd trade the Phone stability for a best of breed email client on this device in a heartbeat. I've not tested the Gmail client as RistotheGreat did (above) so this may solve the email conundrum for some.
Memory:
As Beowulfpt above originally questioned, Ram is becoming as scarce as the Yeti. Before the firmware update I had plenty of spare RAM, after the firmware update I get low-RAM notifications every few days and I'm running the exact same email accounts without running ANY 3rd party software whatsoever.
Stability:
Overall crashes of the device are now far and few. It seems to be a step forward. Well done Nokia.
Other:
It's worth mentioning (thanks DeadKenny) that you can now sign in once to Ovi services and it's supposed to work across the Ovi suite of apps. I've not checked this personally as I'm using the device without adding extra apps at present but there was a note in the firmware note when upgrading.
Internet Radio has now been added back to the Radio client - no need to go hunting for external versions of this anymore. This, as before, works pretty well.
To close, it's interesting to read others frustrations (above) with this device, there are many good things about E72 and I can live with compromises in a device if it does other things well. In the case of the E72 it's a great phone but it's an incredibly poorly implemented email client, too poor if you ask me. If Nokia added a half stable email client with HTML (as they had many years back in other similar devices) then I'd put up with the tedious old-school 'profiles' and an old-school approach to connectivity and other such compromises. As it stands I can't in all honesty make this my main device when it's fails to offer a usable email client that I can use without frustration on a daily basis despite the new lipstick.
As Nokia are so close to making this device 'ok', should I go back to the Nexus and put up with the lack of a keyboard and poor phone functionality, but excellent mail client - waiting for one more Firmware revision from Nokia? How long did you good E71 owners need to wait until Nokia fixed the problems for you? I really want to like this device despite my sheer frustration at it's implementation.
Note: Despite the E72 still sitting on my desk and not on Ebay, my original post conclusions about Nokia's tardiness in selling half-finished devices still stands. I'd find it incredibly difficult to justify buying a new Nokia device for a number of years. This is a real shame when they have so many voiceless employees within their organisation that if given half a management-vote could turn this cheap strategy around.

Where's Pages '11?

Pages is one terrific word processor and more - but it's getting older. Now we have Microsoft Word and its new features trying to compete. While I use Microsoft Office at work every day, when I come home, I have a choice between MS Office and iLife '09. For creating flyers, technical data sheets, brochures, etc., I gave up long ago trying to make Word jump thru hoops. I always get the job done using Pages. Now I hear people telling me things like "You can do all that and more with the new Office '11, why don't you use it instead?" or "You know, Apple made a deal with Microsoft to drop developement of the iLife suite in order to keep OSX versions of Office in developement."
I don't know what's the real reason for the delay, but can ANYONE shed any light on when / if we might see the new version of Pages and the rest of the iLife suite?
Thanks!
* Ron *

As Peter said, no one other than those under non-disclosure agreements actually know if there is another version coming. But Pages, Numbers & Keynote make up the iWork suite, not iLife. iLife '11 came out in the fall of 2010.

Mac Mini and Philips 32PF9966 LCD

Hi all, I've posted this on another thread but no one's replied yet,
hope I will get more attention here!
I just got a mac mini C2D and hooked it via DVI to my philips 32pf9966 flat tv HDTV ready. The panel has a DVI socket so I used a DVI cable. The mini automatically resolved to 720x1280 50 hz resolution, the TV would recognize the input as 720p but the characters are bloated and the top, bottom,left and right edges bleed off the screen. If I choose from the mac the 768 x 1024 resolution, the top and bottom edges are fine, the characters are perfectly readable, but I have black borders on the right and left sides. The TV recognizes an XGA input.
From my TV spec, I see that the supported resolutions are:
Computer
Res. Refresh rate
640 x 480 60Hz
800 x 600 60Hz
1024 x 768 60Hz
1280 x 768 60 Hz
• Video
Res. Refresh rate
640 x 480i 1Fh
640 x 480p 2Fh
720 x 576i 1Fh
720 x 576p 2Fh
1280 x 720p 3Fh
1920 x 1080i 2Fh
1920 x 1152i 50 Hz
The 768x1366 is advertized as WXGA on the leaflet cover.
The question is: I have DisplayConfigX but I'm afraid of making some blunders playing around with the settings since there are no clear instructions on the site...I tried using "timing" to set it to 768x1366 but the program automatically switched it to 1368. Is this OK? If not how do I adjust it to 1366? After I click "install", will I be able to use the other configurations I already have in the Mac mini display options or will they be cancelled?
One last question: I'm in Italy, where allegedly the frequency should be 50 not 60Hz...Shall I go with 60 anyway?
Thanks a lot for your patience.
Andre

Hi, thanks for you reply.
Tonight I'll try the suggested settings and see if it works...
Re the manual, I don't think I can post any attachments here, anyway here is the link to the technical spec sheet
http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/3/32pf996610/32pf9966_10_psseng.pdf
where you can see that is supports PC connection and res. up to 768x1366
and here is the link to the manual:
http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/3/32pf996610/32pf9966_10_dfueng.pdf
on page 22 there's how to connect to a PC via DVI...
Do you know whether switchresX would support 768x1366?
Thanks again
Ciao

How to display TEXT description from Documents tab of Product master in ISA

Hi,
We have product related PDF document attached with Product.
I can access in CRM by Going
Products--> Maintain Products.
When I chose specific Product I can see Product related details.
There are many tabs like "General", "Material", "Sales and Distributions", "Documents", etc...
"Documents" tab have 2 folders "Pictures" and "TEXTS".
under "TEXT" folder we have PDF documents.
it has short product name like "ASP009" and Description "ASP 009 Manual".
When I click on any one I can see attached PDF document in Preview window in CRM.
How I can access text description "ASP 009 Manual" on "ProductDetailsB2C.JSP" file.
I want to display this "ASP 009 Manual" description on "ProductDetailsB2C.JSP".
Is there any Standard Java class method available in ISA.
I really appreciate any help on this and assign points to them for solution.
Thanks in Advance.
Ashish

Here's the steps we use in our ProductDetailB2C.jsp (B2B uses same code in another file name I forget right now) to provide a link to our technical data sheets...this includes how to create a new document type in CRM as well as the code needed to display it on the ISA
Step 1: Transaction OAC2, create Document Type example CRM_TECHDA
Step 2: Transaction SPRO-> CRM -> Basic functions -> Content Management -> Define template for folders
Step 3: Double click template PRODUCT_MATERIAL
Step 4: Right-click Documents, Choose Create Folder
(Make sure to input DOCUMENT TYPE(Properties TAB) = Step 1 value example CRM_TECHDA)
Step 5: Add a new set of lines of code for each of the types of 'text' you have created to display as a link in the .jsp file(s), changing the CAPPED name to the appropriate name of your specific field below:
<% if (currentItem.getAttribute("DOC_P_CRM_TECHDA") != null && !currentItem.getAttribute("DOC_P_CRM_TECHDA").equals("")) { %>
               <tr>
                 <td colspan="2"><a href="<isa:imageAttribute guids="DOC_P_CRM_TECHDA,DOC_P_CRM_TECHDA" name="webCatItem" defaultImg="mimes/shared/no_pic.gif"/>" target="_new"><img src="<%=WebUtil.getMimeURL(pageContext, "b2c/mimes/images/pfeil_rechts_mit_rand_blau.gif") %>" alt="" border="0"> Technical Data Sheet</a></td>
               </tr>
               <% } %>

I forgot to add, that you could add the attribute information Sateesh talks about where we just use "Technical Data Sheet"
on the third line of the code...we don't bother with the name of the file as you're needing since we had too many people
naming them and the overall consistency was horrible.

Monitor on top?

A friend of mine with limited desk space just bought a mini. We are wondering if it's okay to put the monitor (22" LCD) on top of the computer. The aluminum frame certainly seems strong enough and the DSL modem is close by (I've heard of some concerns that placing a monitor on the mini may disrupt Wi-Fi reception.)

I was actually wondering this as well. Why isn't their a posted specification on maximum weight the new macmini's can bear. It seems given all the operating spec's this needs to be included. The alternatives are fine, but I work at a University and we do routine setups of workstations. This information would be handy to KNOW what we can and cannot do when it comes to setting up the footprint of our stations. I called Apple and asked this very question and I got some non-technical hear-say type answer. The individual stated, "Well I used a 19" monitor (not an apple monitor) for 2 years and I've never had a problem. You would probably be ok, but if you have any concerns about it, if it were me I wouldn't do it." I pressed him more and said, "So, you're saying its ok?" Then he said, "Well the only thing I can think about is the optical drive possibly being damaged and maybe heat dissipation being a factor." This is dumbing UP what he said. So he continued to vacillate back and forth so much so as to destroy the confidence of getting any conclusive answer. I tried to get to someone more suited to the question, but he lacked the imagination to understand the relevance of my concern, and marginalized its importance. So I would like to have ideas as to who I could contact short of manually performing experiments on cases to establish experimentally what the weight tolerances are of the new macmini's. Isn't that Apple's job?

Bulleted List Question

I'm applying a new style for my company's technical data sheets. The designer created a new bullet using a Wingdings 3 symbol. I incorporated that symbol, a lower case u that displays as a triangle rotated 90 degrees to stand on one tip. I copied that symbol from my computer's character map and followed the user guide instructions to create the special bullet symbol and that works fine. Where I'm having trouble is that the text following this new style bullet is in Frutiger roman font. When I type text following the bullet, I get wingdings 3 symbols. When I highlight those characters and assign Frutiger roman font, the bullet reverts to a lower case u.
Can FM 7.0 use a wingdings character to start a bulleted list and use other font for text following the bullet? Thanks.

The problem you're running into is likely because of a "quirk" in the way FM handles font changes within paragraphs.
To start with, are you creating a bulleted paragraph style, or are you just putting the bullet symbol in front of the text in the paragraph?
If you're just inserting the bullet after copying from the Character map, the better approach is to
1. create a new character style, e.g. "Wing3", that is set to be the Wingdings3 symbols.
2. create a new paragraph style, e.g. "NewBullet" with the Frutiger font for the paragraph, and in the autonumber properties of this paragraph tag specify the special character and that it should use Wing3 as the character format.
This is where it gets a bit tricky, though, because it may be difficult to find the correct character to put into the Autonumber Format dialog box, because FM sometimes "rearranges" the character mapping for some fonts. So, if you have a problem getting the correct character to be displayed for the bullet, don't give up -- post back here and let us know.

Create Custom PDF using Flex

I posted this in an Acrobat forum, but I was wondering if
Flex would work for this. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!!
Hopefully someone can help me! I am a designer, not a
programmer so I may be in over my head. My client has an archive of
individual technical data sheet saved as PDFs. They would like a
user to be able to go to a web page, select which products they use
and have that automatically combined into one PDF file. Any ideas
on where to start? Thanks!

Hi there there's a library named AlivePDF that allows you to
create PDFs on the fly. But if you're not a developer, and don't
want to learn about Flex and AS3, then you'll probably couldn't be
able to accomplish this.

Any way to increase "bits" from 32 to 64?

My mid 2010 iMAC meets the system specs (OSX 10.10.3) for a photo editing program but program specs say 64 bit. My MAC is a 32 bit. Would the program run on my MAC?

This is the technical data sheet published Intel for the i3/i5/i7 series of processors used in 2010 iMacs:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/5th-gen-c ore-family-datasheet-vol-1.pdf
On page 10 is says they are all 64-bit:

UCS C200 M2 - RAID Card R200-PL004 battery back-up

During the installation of a LSI 6G MegaRAID 9260-4i, I'm prompted with the statements "The battery is missing" and "Protect against data loss in the event of a server or power failure by providing emergency power to the cache memory."
Can anyone tell me if the battery back-up (R2XX-LBBU) for the LSI 6G MegaRAID 9260-4i (R200-PL004) is required or just simply a recommendation to prevent loss of data during a power failure? The ordering guide says "Battery Back-Up Option Available" so I'm assuming this is not a mandatory item for purchase.
Please advise.
Thanks,
C

Hello Chad,
BBU is optional.

Reset iMac to factory setting and Mac OS X

So I want to sell my iMac from early 2009 (see technical fact sheet here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP507 ).
I need to do factory reset. The original OSX is 10.5 if I am correct, but i am already at 10.8.2 which is the latest.
My question is does reset forces it back o 10.5 and if so can the buyer upgrades to 10.8.2 at no cost? I don't remember how I upgrade it. I have been using Ubuntu too long. Thanks
-- sent from iPad

Just as an added clarification: any OS license obtained from the App Store is forever tied to the Apple ID it was purchased with and is not transferable. If you left 10.8.2 on it, the buyer would not ever be able to download/reinstall because his Apple ID and the machine ID do not match the purchase records.
So you are required to uninstall the OS and reinstall the original OS - if that was indeed 10.5, and you do not have the original install disks, you will need to call Apple for replacement disks.

E440 Fingerprint reader

Hi,
I have another question regarding the E440 specifically. The technical spec sheet says optional fingerprint reader, but I don't get that option on any of the customizations for this laptop. Is it really no longer an option?
Thanks!
Kimber
Solved!
Go to Solution.

fingerprint option on the E440 is available only in certain markets. Traditionally none of the ThinkPad E/Edge series in the North American market has the fingerprint scanner.

REMOVE (not fix) bluetooth mouse

Dell Inspiron 3521
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit w/ 8gb ram
Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse
This is the 3d laptop that I've started out with said bluetooth mouse, and the 3d computer that I've eventually -- after some months of working flawlessly -- that I've given up trying to keep it working. I've gone back to the simplicity of a
USB mouse. Now that the USB dongles are so small I don't consider them to be a drawback any more.
Now I need to remove the BT mouse. No, I have no interest in getting it to work. I just want to remove it from the list of installed devices. Start --> Devices and Printers shows the mouse, but there is no option to remove it.
Going to Control Panel --> Hardware andSound ---> Device Manager -- Mice and Other Pointing Devices, showed 3 "HID Compliant Mouse". One was a hardware (direct wire connection to USB port), one was "Microsoft USB Input Device) (the
wireless USB mouse) and one was the BT. I selected to remove that, but when I go back to Devices and Printers, the BT mouse still shows.

Roger,
Thank you for the follow-up. Unfortunately, I find no solution.
The first link, the kb article, listed some registry hacks that appeared to be overly invasive. Almost an approach of "kill 'em all, let God sort them out". I did start looking at all the registry keys listed and found the list quite extensive
- there were a total of 24 keys with the name of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}, and many of those have many 'nnnn' keys to check. After wading through a few dozen it occurred to
me that the name of the device listed in the control panel (Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000) should appear somewhere in the registry, so I did a search on that (and several subsets of that) over the entire registry and got zero hits.
AS for the link to the "downloads" .. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/bluetooth-notebook-mouse-5000 lead to no downloads (hoping to find an updated driver that would allow a deletion from the control panel) but only some un-useful documentation:
Product Warranty; "Product Guide" - which was nothing but the usual safety warnings; "Quick Start Guide" (how to install the battery and turn it on), and "Technical Data Sheet".

Difference between Bluetooth Module from Blackberry Q10 to Blackberry Q5?

Hello,
I am from Germany so please excuse if my English knowledge is not so good.
I own a Bose Wave Music System III. Last week I bought a original Bluetooth Adapter for that System.
After the Adapter arrived I connected it without any problem with my Blackberry Q10.
My Girlfriend is using a Blackberry Q5.
So I tried to connect the Q5 with the Bose Bluetooth Adapter as well.
But the Q5 is not able to connect correctly.
There is the same problem with the Q5 and my Toshiba Portege R930.
Both decives only see the Bose Bluetooth Adapter as a Nokia mobile phone device (all other Bluetooth devices are off, me and my neighbours don't use any Nokia mobile phone ).
If I try to connect to this device, Bose and Q5/R930 can not connect.
I also bought a new Bluetooth Stack Stick 4.0 from LogiLink, this Stick doesn't even recognize the Bose Bluetooth Adapter
So my question is if there is a difference between the bluetooth module Q10 and Q5?
If I read the technical data sheets there is always just written Bluetooth 4.0, but there must be a difference after my opinion.
Thank You for your help
Regards
Manuel
