Camera data. Histogram and light meter

I'm trying to find info on how to tap into data from the iPhone camera. I want to develop an app that uses histogram data and to build a light meter. Can anyone help me out?

You can build your own histogram from any image. I very highly doubt you'll be able to construct anything even remotely resembling an accurate light meter as the camera's driver and/or firmware most likely already has one that is continually making adjustments before you ever get any data at the application level.

  • Camera not working and light blinking after upgrade

    After upgrading to Mavericks, the built-in camera on my MacBook Air (mid-2013) has stopped working in all applications. When I start an application that uses the camera, the image does not appear, and the camera light blinks rapidly until I close the application. Console shows the following messages:
    11/24/13 11:34:08.000 a.m. kernel[0]: AppleCamIn::power_off_hardware

    The latter two messages repeat until I close the application.
    This is not the same problem as the Skype camera issue that was resolved with a previous update. I have tried resetting the NVRAM and PMU, reinstalling Mavericks, and using the guest account.
    This user has the same issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23721483#23721483
    Any help would be greatly appreciated — I would really like to have my camera working!

    Hello grmurchison,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your built-in iSight camera.  You have taken some really great steps to isolate and troubleshoot the issue.  I found an article with a couple of additional steps (you can skip the steps you have already taken):  
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Apple Imac and Sekonic light meter

    Can someone help with this problem.
    I'm working on a Apple Imac Intel Core 2 Duo, version 10.6.8.
    I bought a very pricy light meter Sekonic L-758DR.
    With the software of Sekonic you can make camera profiles and bring them in into the light meter normaly.
    But it seems that Sekonic don't find it necessary to update their software to be compatibele with the Mac version mentioned above.
    Does someone has the same problem or did he/she can bring in the profiles into the light meter.
    Thanks and kind regards,

  • On holidays we took pictures with two cameras and an iPad. I put everithing on my PC. Rearranged them by date, time and or subject putting a number in front of the picture name. I synchronised with my iPad and my pictures show in misselaneous order. Help

    We took pictures during oue holidays with two cameras and an iPad. I put all the pictures on my PC and reorganized them by date, time and/or subject, By putting a number in front of the picture name. Then I synced with my iPad. All the pictures show in a misselaneous order. What went or did I wrong?

    You did nothing wrong, but the photo app puts stuff in chronological order.
    You can look for another app. Afraid I don't have one to suggest, but I do understand that other apps will sort photos differently.

  • Bridge and Camera Data (EXIF)

    I need to know how, using Bridge and its metadata routines, to include EXIF data into a record set.
    I am a digital archivist of old, long out of copyright books, manuscripts and other ephemera.  When scanning an old book I scan them as signatures.  Each scan will have two pages which are split, i.e. page 1 and page 4.
    Page 1 (the original scan) contains the camera data.  The page four image, copied out of page 1, does not contain any camera data when saved.  After processing page 1 I add to it the applicable metadata for the volume and export it as a template, applying that template to the record set.
    However, the Camera Data (EXIF) does not get applied to all the pages in the record set.  Is there any way around this?
    Cordially,
    A. Wayne Webb

  • IPhoto application and camera Date differ!

    Lately many photos I import from my digital camera come up wrong in the iPhoto application.
    My camera (Cannon PowerShot A590) shows the right date, but iPhoto sets the "roll" date as :
    14/1/ 2008 to 21/31/2008
    One of these photos date shows as 21/21/2008
    I didn't notice this until I imported a roll, and tried to change it in the information box for each photo, but the date I typed in didn't save and reverted to the 21/21/2008.
    I can not find any place in the iPhoto "help" to correct this date problem. I can not change the date when I am trying to import a roll.
    What gives, how did this happen, since there is NO month of 14 or 21 ???
    Please advise quickly, thanks.

    Daniel:
    If you want to correct the date in the file itself, thus allowing other applications to have and use the correct date, then you'll have to export those files to a folder on the desktop and batch change the EXIF date with PhotoInfo. You can then import them again into iPhoto and delete those with the incorrect date. This will not create a compressed file as all you're doing is copying the file to the desktop, editing the date field and then copying back to iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Copying cameras and lights

    Is there a way to copy cameras and lights (along with properties, keyframes, etc.) from one project to another?
    Thanks!

    Couple ways:
    1) drag your cameras and lights to your favorites folder or to the file browser, then drag them into the new project
    2) with both projects open and positioned so you can see both layers tabs, drag the cameras and lights directly to the layers tab of the new project

  • Bridge reports impossible Camera Data

    I'm new to Bridge (CS6). There are certain instances when I am puzzled as to how Bridge handles the Camera Data it reports for each photo. I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. Example:
    I was running some fill-flash tests using a Nikon D3200, a Tamron 150mm-600mm f/5.0-6.3 zoom lens, a Tamron 2x teleconverter, and an ancient Vivitar 283 with a flash extender. (With the teleconverter, the Tamron f/5.0-6.3 becomes an f/10-13 lens.) An incident meter registered f161/3 at 1/500 for ambient light. For all test exposures, the lens was kept at 600mm, shutter priority at 1/200, evaluative (matrix) metering, ISO 400.
    When I examine the exposure information in Bridge, I notice that:
    Some exposures show an f-stop between f/13 and f/14 at 1/200, and a focal length of 1200mm, which is what I expect. 
    However, some exposures show an f-stop between f/2.5 and f/4.0 at 1/200 with a focal length of 10mm. Again, the lens was fixed at 1200mm (600mm x2 with teleconverter) and an aperture of f/13 wide open, so this exposure information appears to me to be impossible.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

    Use some other software that reads and displays an image file from your camera meta data.  So you know what your camera has written.  See if the error is in Adobe software or your Camera's firmware. EXIF data is generated in your camera.

  • Timeouts increased after we moved USR, SAP data files and TLogs to new SAN

    We are having issues with timeouts after we moved our USR, SAP SQL Datafiles and SAP Transaction Logs from our old SAN to a new SAN.
    Timeouts for SAPGUI users are set to 10 minutes.
    We are running Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server 2005.
    The SAP database has 8 datafiles with a total size of about 350GB.
    Procedure we used to move SAP to new SAN:
    1. Attached 3 new SAN Volumes
         -a. USR
         -b. Data Files
         -c. Transaction Logs
    2. Shutdown SAP and SQL services
    3. Alligned the new volumes with a 1024kb offset and gave the Data files and Transaction log volumes a 64kb allocation
        size. (The alignment and 64kb allocation size were not setup for these volumes on the old SAN)
    4. Copied the 3 volumes from old to new.
    5. Changed the new volumes drive letter to the drive letters of the old volumes.
         -a. I had to restart in order to change the USR volume.
         -b. Because of this I had to resetup the sapmnt and saploc shares.
    6. Started SQL services and then SAP services and everything came up just fine.
    The week before we had anywhere from 1 to 9 timeouts per day.
    This week: Monday had 20 and Tuesday had 26.
    On Monday we saw that MD07 was the only transaction that was timing out, but Tuesday had others as well.
    The amount of users in the system is about the same.  The amount of orders going in are about the same.  No big transports went in right before we switched.
    Performance counters that I know about for disk look a lot better on the Data Files.
    - PAGEIOLATCH_SH ms/request is about 50% better
    - Under I/O Performance in DBACOCKPIT:
      - MS/OP is now anywhere from 5 to 30 - Old SAN: 50 to 300
    - The Hit Ratio is over 99% - same as the old SAN
    Looking at Wiley Introscope graphs:
    - The "SAP Host: Average queue length" is about 30% to 40% lower then the old SAN.
    - the "SAP Host: Disk utilization in %" is about the same.
    Questions:
    1. Did we do anything wrong or miss anything with our move procedure?
         a. Do we have to do anything in SQL since we changed volumes even though we kept the drive letters the same?
    2. What other logs or performance counters should I be looking at?
    Thank you,
    Neil

    Our new SAN Vendor is Compellent.  They have been fantastic.  I would highly recommend checking them out.
    The reasons for the timeouts had nothing to do with the SAN...Well kind of anyway.
    I decided to check t-code SM20 to see what users were doing when these timeouts were happening.  What I found was the program R_BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN was being called thousands of times in a matter of 10 to 15 minutes at random times through out the day.  It would take up about 50 to 80 percent of the amount of programs being executed during these times.
    So, I sent this information to our developers and they found out that R_BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN was being called from another program that was looping thousands of times. The trigger to stop the loop wasn't happening fast enough.  They made a change and we haven't seen the timeouts since.
    I think that the performance increases allowed the loop to run faster which caused the slow downs and timeouts to happen more often.
    Thank you to everyone for their help!

  • Mexico Roaming Data Charges and MiFi Hotspot Wireless

    Hi,
    I've been a Verizon customer for many years. I've used their PC Card and the unlimited data plan for my computer. I often travel near the border, Detroit, MI ... Niagara Falls, NY ... Laredo, TX ... Del Rio, TX ... El Paso, TX ... Nogales, AZ ... Calexico, CA ... San Diego, CA ... often. In the VZAccess Manager, the software used by the computer to connect, I have roaming disabled. Recently I upgraded to the MiFi and love the ability to have my laptop and my wife's connected at the same time. Recently near the Mexico border, the first time since having the MiFi, I checked my online Verizon usage and didn't see any mention of Mexico. There's nothing in any user manual about how to disable roaming specific to the MiFi, so I took that to mean that since the VZAccess Manager's settings controlled the MiFi while connected via USB, the settings also applied while wireless. They don't. I have since logged into the MiFi itself the way you would any WiFi router and there are no settings for roaming. I called Customer Service. They said there is no way to disable roaming when using it as a wireless hotspot ... and for me to "remember" to connect to just one computer with the USB cable. I intend to do that, but some people do forget ... traveling in an RV through El Paso ... just driving through ... you're close to the border. Be sure and remember to change your habits and stop using the MiFi as a wireless hotspot. I have charges for roaming in Mexico when I did not go to Mexico ... and did not know I was roaming.
    My billing cycle isn't for two more days. They couldn't assure me today that all charges would be reversed ... not until the billing cycle. I would certainly hope they reverse all charges ... even if in the hundreds ... and they ought to have better safeguards rather than charge you for roaming in Mexico when you're not in Mexico. There should be a pop-up, a warning, something a user has to do to authorize the connection ... when you're not even in Mexico, but instead you are in a US city with a strong Verizon signal. If it already has a good US signal, why would it switch to a roaming signal anyway, even if that roaming signal is slightly stronger? Why roam if a strong "home" signal is available anyway?
    I haven't been told that all my charges will be reversed ..., but at least I can alert you, if you use the MiFi as a HotSpot, it could switch to roaming even if you have a strong "home" signal and even if you have not crossed the US border. There is no way to stop this when using it as a HotSpot ... and you are not alerted at all unless you notice the light ... and have been told that a solid blue means roaming ... and you "remember" to check. I never noticed the blue light ... can only assume since the manual says so, that the light was blue at some point. But I never noticed it. I know now that light should be checked ... and I know now that the USB connection should be used anytime close to the border. I know that now. But people do forget. There should be some safeguard. VZAccess Manager has the ability to disable roaming and then you don't need to remember. The MiFi should should also have that ability. And actually, they shouldn't allow roaming when a home signal is available ... and even if you have roaming enabled and you cross a border, there should be a pop-up, flag, or alert of some kind where the user has to authorize the connection.
    Hope this helps someone avoid this. And I hope they reverse all the charges ... even if in the hundreds.
    Thank you,
    Tony McCanless

    Yep, I've been charged for it.  They still claim that with roaming turned off, apps will bypass this and use data anyway.
    "Some data applications and data functions including email updates will
    still work in the background even if the iPhone data roaming is switched
    off but not in direct physical use by you and this data roaming usage
    would appear as it is working on the device without any warning.
    The device could be using data that you don't necessarily know is being
    used, for example, embedded rich content in emails can generate
    significant volumes of data both ways. The email application is a likely
    source of most of that data usage."
    So it would seem that the "data roaming off" facility is a bit misleading, as it's not actually turning data roaming off.  Apparently.
    Thanks for the info Meg.

  • WHY SUCH AN INJUSTICE THAT BBM CANNOT BE USED ON MY CURVE 9300 OVER NORMAL DATA SERVICE AND OTHER PLATFORMS CAN USE!

    Hello,
    I am using Blackberry Curve 9300. I purchased this phone for Rs. 17,250 before some 3 years, I considered RIM to be a Company providing premium services which is unique in itself and which worth spending on them and the most important thing is those are not available to non-blackberry users! Especially in case of Blackberry Messenger, which is such a service connecting all the blackberry users around the world, making a mark of precious symbol of the users of BBM.
     Before few days I came to know about BBM being available on Android and Windows phones, my question is why this injustice with your own customers, you provide the app which they will use with their normal data plan and we people who are your real customers, who trusted in you have to spend not less than Rs.129 for just BBM!I must say RIM is the most back-stabbing company I have had ever dealt with! People are laughing at us as they are using the same service for almost free and we have to spend a huge sum for availing the same service, my question is are these non blackberry people your customers or we people who contributed in your success with hopes of trust?
    My question is not why you made available BBM usage to non-blackberry users with such flexibility but my question is why can't you be loyal to your own customers?
    I hope that RIM would have a pleasing justification.

    Thanks with the signature but I already removed it from my profile too.
    I was never under a rock when it comes to technology I know that in India before few months yoru Blackberry Z10 was Rs.44,000 and now it is Rs.21,000. I understand the ploy of making BBM cross platform to generate revenue, first in a technical sense and another by creating it advrtisement in the marker.
    Do you think that taking an undue advantage of our loyaty and enduring the mockery of your own customer would take you anywhere? Don't you think that abusing your own customer's prestige would even affect you negatively? While your customer is paying Rs.129 for just BBM the Android person sitting next to him is lauging at him for he paid you and call him fool! Profits doesn't starts only by making huge business decisions but from the loyal and satisfied customers. You may always find customers all around always complaining but deep down if you have touched their needs they will bless you with good words at your back, maybe in such a way that you will never come to kow but it will grow you more. I am not here to deliver you a marketing lecture as i am in corporate law field but let me tell you what I read during my graduation, it said something like one disatisfied customer can discourage ten potential customers from buying your product and I have started feeling the same in case of online shopping but I do not know when the company giant blackberry would come to know! 
    When you said about expanding customer base, think about a company who is expanding its base of customers by disatisfing their current customers who always took pride in you by providing them services at harsh terms and in front of their eyes others are getting benefits at a very low cost.
    Our family business is textile manufacturing, not as big as blackberry but we always knew that if we will start selling our goods by describing them as really premium goods and start charging out of lips and bounds, of course my product could be premium worth the price but one thing I could be missing would be a point of finance, there could be cheaper alternatives in market which could be selling at lower price which same usage. My concern is just to keep our eyes open.
    Now consider a phone on which I can use Whatsapp which satisfies my messaging needs, gtalk and yahoo messengers for my im needs, push mails for emails, browsing and downloading for just Rs.99 and on the other hand Blackberry services for Rs.389, it is indeed clear the reason of downfall, though it is labelled as premium service and indeed it could be, permium service as I said earlier.
    When you feel that your boat is sinking, you do not have only have to pull out the waters but on the priority basis you have to cover the hole too! Blackberry is just pulling out the water leaving the hole as it is!
    If you say that legacy mode in BBOS could bother you  from providing BBM for BB device, you know that it cannot be and even I know that, any technical person can know that as it is a little secret that I can use BB browser without BIS and many other apps are example of the same (to be a bit informal). See, I never asked this thing from last three years but now when you are making it cross platform why not to give a little benefits to those who paid you till now, if you can give it to those who are nothign to you?
    My question is that why can't you provide BBM to be used on the normal data paln for your own old and loyal customers who paid you such a handsome amount from many years for your services as how you provide on other platform, just for BBM not email and rest of your services?

  • I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build.  The same call works fine when running on the device

    I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
    I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
    The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
    I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
    I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
    By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
    Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
    Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
    Thanks!

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • Unlimited data plan and discount dispute on new phone

    Problem #1
    Before the unlimited data plan was discontinued earlier this month, I added it to my current plan (phone is an LG EnV3)
    On Monday, 7/18, I became eligible for a new phone upgrade, and wanted to purchase the Driod Incredible 2.
    While on the website, I noticed that it would not let me keep the unlimited plan while upgrading, so I contacted an online service rep.
    A screen capture of the conversation can be found here -->   http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/5640/chattk.jpg
    The online service rep, Logan W, told me that I could keep it, all I would have to do is contact customer service afterwards and have them make sure that my current package stays.
    Flash forward to today, I called customer service when I recieved my new phone, and was told that what your online service rep told me doesn't matter, that you can't keep the unlimited data plan if you move from a "feature phone" to a "smart phone."
    I told her that is not what I was told prior to purchasing the phone, and she basically said she didn't care, she would send a ticket to some department to see if I could keep the unlimited data plan, but it was up to them, and that I would get a call back with their decision in 24 to 48 hours.
    Problem #2
    On Monday, 7/18, the Driod Incredible 2 was shown on the Verizon Website as $159.99 - $50 online discount = $109.99
    A screen capture of the webpage --> http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/5301/pricee.jpg
    When I added it to the website's cart, it took off $30 for my loyalty discount, resulting in a price of
    $159.99 - $50 online discount - $30 loyalty discount = $79.99
    But when I reached the final page of check out, the price went back up to $109.99.  I asked your online customer service rep about this (as seen in the above transcript) , and he said that all I would have to do is call customer service after the sale and they would credit my account for the missing loyalty discount.  I then purchased the phone for $109.99 + $8.80 tax = $118.79
    Back to today, after I inquired about the unlimited data plan, I asked the customer service rep about this credit.  After checking it out, she would not believe me that the starting price was $159.99.
    She at first said the phone price was $199.99 and I did get my loyalty dscount, but $199.99- $50 online discount - $30 loyalty discount = $119.99 + tax.  When I told her that wasn't the case because that was more than the $118.79 I was billed, she told me that "somehow I get a better deal and should have been charged $10 more"
    I tried to tell her that her pricing does not line up with the facts (my screen capture, my order email).  She then told me that my phone was somehow actually $$139.99 and I got my loyalty discount which brought it to $109.99.  It was like she was trying to fudge the numbers so they came out to the right price.
    This is a direct copy & paste from the first email I recieved from [email protected], that again shows the original price was $159.99 with a $50 online discount.

    Your customer service rep would not budge, she told me if I didn't like the price that I could send the phone back within 14 days.
    I am amazed at how I was told one thing by your online service rep previous to purchasing a new phone and agreeing to a 2 year contract, but after I get the phone, I am told something completely different by your customer service rep.  I feel this is totally dishonest and a great way to make people hate your company.
    All I want is VW to honor what I was told previous to purchasing this new phone.  If I can not keep the unlimited data plan I will be returning the new phone and moving on to another phone provider.

    I was unaware of this *exception* to the rule when I ordered my new phone and agreed to another 2 year contract.  I did my due dilligence by asking a verizon online service rep to confirm that my unlimited data plan would transfer *BEFORE* I ordered.  I did not know of these forums until after my most recent call when I searched google for "verizon complaint forum."   I didn't read your "transcripts" because it's a moot point - that is Verizon's policy plain and simple, and although I agree it does suck, and it's TERRIBLE that they didn't warn customers properly, the Verizon reps did not know any of the details of the new plans until they were put into affect. (Also, online reps will do ANYTHING to make a sale/commission... Just be warned for next time. I had a 2 hour conversation with one when I wasn't even eligible, who was trying to get me to pay full price but make it sound like it was discounted.)
    Read the transcript.  Logan W. didn't say "maybe it will" or "probably it will" he said ""As long as you contact customer service when you get the phone to have them activate it for you they will make sure that you're current plan stays." 
    Also, it really is none of my concern, as a customer, about the inner workings of verizon, if the unlimited data plan is broken up to 2 different codes, 4 codes, 8 codes, etc, I'm sure if I was the CEO's brother, they'd get it straightened out in about 5 minutes.  As is, I'm just a 7 year customer, which appearently means very little. But clearly it is of your concern, when this is the reason you are not getting your data plan, isn't it? You're MAKING it your concern.
    Reply to your second point:
    Again, I was not aware of these forums until after I ordered the phone.  I have a screenshot showing the original price ($159), the online discount ($50), and the price after ($109).  Verizon's customer service people should be able to see that I was also eligible for my $30 loyalty discount on that date.  But, the customer service rep I talked to stated she didn't care if I had a screenshot or not, that if I didn't like the price of $109 then I could return the phone. That was just that specific rep. You'll learn that each rep has their own way of doing things. Some are more sympathetic than others. Just keep calling until you find a rep that will take your screenshot. There have been numerous people on here that have done this, and have gotten their discount. Just like certain reps will move your upgrade date up, and others won't.
    And that's the sad part of all of this.  Her attitude wasn't "how can we make this right?" it was "if you don't like it, then send the phone back"  You'd think Verizon wouldn't be so hard headed when I'm trying to give them my business, but appearently what I'm getting is a "if you don't like it then leave" attitude. Like I said, each individual rep. Not everyone in one company has the same attitude/demeanor.

  • How to Sort JTable data using Multiple fields (Date, time and string)

    I have to fill the JTable data with some date, time and string values. for example my table data looks like this:
    "1998/12/14","15:14:38","Unicorn1","row1"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:39","Unicorn2","row2"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:40","Unicorn4","row3"
    "1998/12/17","12:14:12","Unicorn4","row6"
    Now the Sorted Table should be in the following way:
    "1998/12/17","12:14:12","Unicorn4","row6"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:40","Unicorn4","row3"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:39","Unicorn2","row2"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:38","Unicorn1","row1"
    ie First Date field should be sorted, if 2 date fields are same then sort based on time. if date and time fields are same then need to be sorted on String field.
    So if any one worked on this please throw some light on how to proceed. I know how to sort based on single column.
    But now i need to sort on multiple columns.So what is code change in the Comparater class.
    Thanks in advance.. This is urgent....

    I think your Schedule objects should implement Comparable. Then you can sort your linked list using the Collections.sort() method without passing in a Comparator.class Schedule(Date date, String class) implements Comparable
      public void compareTo(Object obj)
        Schedule other = (Schedule)obj;
        return date.getTime() - other.getDate().getTime();
    }

  • Data Carriers and Data carrier type

    Hi Sap Gurus,
    Pls let me know is there any necesssity of defining any new Data Carrier types other than PC,
    if so at what circumstances and requirements,
    also pls throw some light about data Carriers, when is the new data carriers required to be created
    at what circumstances and requirements.
    is that to access a document from different server or Different system, if it is so why is this required as the documents are always stored in a central content server and Once checked in, any one can access the document from Server,
    2) can we make use of Application softwares Installed in one System and make it run in another system, example,
    if there are say 4 system totally, among this S1 system1 has Autocad Installed in it ,
    rest of the 3 system have not installed Autocad, Can the system 2,3 and 4 edit the auto cad drawings in there system, does at this situations where Datacarries and Data carries types come in to picture,
    Please throw some light on this
    Thanks and regards

    Dear Christoph Hopf,
    Thanks a lot for your Quick Response
    as you have Explained,i assume it is mainly used to store a local copy or extra copy of the Original application files in the system which we use to View them, or if we feel to store the copy in any other system also.
    Example Say there are 3 systems S1, S2 and S3
    if we are viewing an original file in System S1 and want the same Copy to be stored in System S2  or S3.....
    then this data carrier configuration is required if iam right?
    But Sir apart from this funtionality can i also know the SAP definition purpose, as it defines  data carrier type as below
    The system requires the data carrier type in order to exchange data with other data carriers.
    This is the case, for example, if the user:
    wants to process original application files stored on another computer
    wants to use an application installed on another computer
    if i can interpret this in right way
    it tells us that, by use of data carrier and Data carrier types
    we can access a  original file stored in Different systems,
    if it is so why is this required as the documents are always stored in a central content server and Once checked in, any one can access the document from Server,
    2) can we make use of Application softwares Installed in one System and make it run in another system, example,
    if there are say 3 system totally, among this S1 system1 has Autocad Installed in it ,
    rest of the 2 system have not installed Autocad, Can the system 2, and 3 edit the auto cad drawings in there system, does at this situations where Datacarries and Data carries types come in to picture,
    if so how is this made possible?
    pls explain with example or Screen shots in Wiki if possible
    can u tell me what is the difference between Datacarrier and Datacarrier types with any examples as well
    Thanks and regards
