Cat... What about a sticky thread upda

Been away for a bit and even after my extended absence I can still see some of the same Q's coming up.
Specifically microphone Q's, can you not tag a little line or two onto a thread somewhere explaining that the mic needs to be made the acti've recording device to work? That and renaming the mic may be required to make it work in Vista in some instances?
This question is reasonable, comes up fairly regularly and has a simple answer, surely that makes it a prime candidate for an FAQ/Sticky thread of some kind.
Also how about updating the "Response to forum questions and latest updates" thread, e.g. is the 4Gb RAM/BSOD issue fixed or not now? I'm sure I saw you say as much a while back yet the sticky hasn't been corrected to say as much, plus this would probably be an ideal thread to tag that mic solution on to.Message Edited by Giftmacher on 07-25-2007:57 AM

Oh and where are my manners!
Please, and thanks

Sticky Threads

Okay, I admit, this is just a pet peeve of mine, but it seems that about half the sticky threads at the top of this forum are either outdated or badly outdated.
Two examples;
Can I REALLY still win a CS3 Master Collection?
And how many people are still having problems with the serial number for their CS2 demo?
As I said, just a pet peeve rant. Sorry for the interruption. Return to what you were doing.

Nobody seem to read those anyway. "FAQ, what FAQ?"
As for ad-enabled PDFs ... perhaps the idea didn't quite have the magnitude they hoped. I never heard of those since.

Here's my Vent of the Day - How about one topic/thread per subject?

I see lots of topics/threads started that are exactly the same as ones already out there, and many of those could be answered if the OP would just search what's already been said, or read generally available information before posting. And then there are so many posts for which even the OP knows don't have an answer. It's just hard to wade through all these repetitive posts to find the ones that need answers or could be informative to all.
_For instance, how about a single thread for some of these_?
How do we get our free cases
When will Apple make a hardware change to iP4
Do you think I should buy now or wait
I'm happy with my phone, why aren't you
Let's all complain about Apple, Steve, whatever
Now what was it that was said in the Press Release? (like maybe go read it)
Face Proximity should be fixed
Antenna Problem should be fixed
So that's my vent for the day (everyone else is doing it). Come to think of it, I'm gonna change the topic of this post to "Here's my Vent of the Day"

Keep in mind that a lot of new or occasional Discussions users are not familiar with how the Discussions search engine works & that it is, to be kind about it, more than a little quirky. For instance, even many regular users don't know that the default search box scope is different depending on the category you use it from. And compared to "smart" search engine technology like say Google or bing uses, you often need to use the arcane, 1990's era syntax mentioned in Search Tips to get good results.
Plus, users not already familiar with an issue or its terminology often have no idea how to create a good search query that doesn't produce an overwhelming number of unrelated hits.
Besides, venting & ranting are close cousins & the ToU make it clear these forms of self-indulgence are not really acceptable topics for Discussions to begin with. I'm sure a huge number of Discussions users are frustrated by all the topics taken over by such things, but {ahem} venting that frustration is just adding more fuel to the fire, so to speak.
My point may have been more clear if I hadn't somehow posted this on the Discussions area instead of the iPhone4 one, where there are continual repeats of the same topics (most of which have no answer anyway)

What is a daemon thread in java ?

What is a daemon thread in java ? Explain with a small example.

Any thread marked as a daemon. There is nothing special about it. The only intersting thing is that the Java VM terminates if no non-daemon thread is running. So you usually use a daemon thread for bookkeeping tasks, so that this thread doesn't prevent the VM from successfully terminating.

What happen to julius thread in ABAP DEVELOPMENT?

It was reformatted by the new 5000 characters per post limit
I am busy working on a solution to split them and move each part to its own respecting sub-development forum - but have not got to it yet. Sorry for being slow.
The FAQ and memorable discussions thread in the Security Forum is affected as well, but there is only one forum... :-((
Any creating ideas on how to fix that one (other than removing information from it)?
Cheers,
Julius

Actually it is happening since couple of week. Might be you have found yourself in this situation now.
Also there are two thread already open on the same. Perhaps you missed them.
Improper display of threads
And outstandingly "what happen to julius thread in ABAP DEVELOPMENT?" Nice Subject Line
Perhaps, It looks [Line of the day|Re: Line of the day!] !!
P.S. Subject tempered (Or Perhaps corrected)....;-)
Anyways,
@ Julius: Since there is 5000 Characters Limit has been introduced for keeping the forum neat, undersized and informative as much as possible rather than long bulky programs.
But My Question is What about the Programs and Threads which had already been posted in last 5-6 Years of SDN(now SCN)?
I can see all the previous threads also have been affected!
So Does SAP having any Programmer In their team of Michael Goeck or David Branan(Who is working from behind the scene ) to introduced the restriction of 5K chars based on Date?!?
Cheers

Mods, could we get a sticky thread in the Logic Pro board?

By my count there are upwards of thirteen separate threads asking if there is a free upgrade to Logic Pro X for recent buyers. Could we get a sticky thread about it or FAQ (and maybe even lock the redundant threads)? It's a bit maddening and I'm sure there will be many more.

Look under the individual forums (column on the left), and there is a TAB for each of "User Tips".
The list of threads continue to roll down as new threads are updated/created. Any thread that stays in view forever would clog the arteries.

Proposal for a sticky thread "Performance of SAP standard"

Hello,
in this form there are many questions about your programs, selects function modules but what about the SAP standard programs, they are not always the best performing things on your system. What do you think about a thread with improvements of SAP standard programs?
Ok, that should be the job of SAP, but sometimes everybody needs a little kick.
So this thread should collect suggestions of improvements of SAP coding. These suggestions should be very precise, so SAP should implement them easily. I'm pretty sure, everybody will find some not optimized code during debugging, learning, ... .
So , lets start with an example
Function module CO_SF_HEADER_GOODS_ISSUE
SELECT SINGLE * FROM caufv WHERE aufnr EQ aufnr.
There is no need for select *, because only the fields
autyp
loekz
objnr
gamng
gmein
rsnum
are needed during the FM.
so lets improve the code
select single aufnr loekz autyp gamng gmein rsnum
from caufv into (wa_caufv-aufnr,
                  wa_caufv-loekz,
                  wa_caufv-autyp,
                  gamng, gmein, rsnum)
With this code we can also kill three moves in the last lines.
MOVE: caufv-gamng TO gamng,
      caufv-gmein TO gmein,
      caufv-rsnum TO rsnum.
That was easy, on my testsystem it is 38% less database-time for the select and a little for the three moves.
What do you think?
Matthias

Not sure I'm on board, I doubt SAP will take suggestions for modifying their code via a forum post, I think it is best to go thru OSS.
Anyway, a little story for ya. We had a program which was sort of like CO41(collective planned order conversion), but was custom because we needed to include characterisics, so we have this program that gets all of the planned orders and then does CO40 transaction over each one. This worked in the begining, but after some time the runtime was extremely bad, like hours long. So I did some investigation and found the exact SELECT statement deep inside of CO40, and found that the WHERE clause was not written in such a way that was good for my company. I contacted OSS, and pointed them to the exact place in the code that was giving us a problem. I told them that the one line in the WHERE clause needed to b commented out, then the performance would be much better. They came back after a number of days, and said, the SELECT statement was written in such a way that it works for all business processes. At my company, our business process dictated that the one line in the WHERE clause was not necessary and even hurting our performance. Anyway, they said they would not issue a change for us and that we either had to hack it ourselves or totally redo the way our task list groups where set up. The problem was is that we had a couple task list groups, with thousands and thousands of materials assign to it. This was the problem. So I hacked the standard program, and it actually shaved of 3 hours of processing time.

Rich Heilman

What about post notify?

Hi to everybody,
I've got a doubt related to the notify (or notifyAll) method. What happens after a thread calls notify? The monitor theroy states that the thread should be temporary suspended, granting the access to the resumed thread. Once the latter has finished the notifier thread (suspended into an urgent queue) should be resumed in order to conclude its execution (i.e., to do the code after the notify call).
Nevertheless, debugging a program that apparently misbehaves, I noticed that after a notify call the notifier thread does not seem to suspend itself.
With this suspect I read the documentation for the java.lang.Object#notify method, and I found:
The awakened thread will not be able to proceed until the current thread relinquishes the lock on this object. The awakened thread will compete in the usual manner with any other threads that might be actively competing to synchronize on this object; for example, the awakened thread enjoys no reliable privilege or disadvantage in being the next thread to lock this object.
that means that the resumed thread is only resceduled, but it does not start its execution immediatly. Is this right? Can anybody give me some details about the exact behavior of the notify/wait thread scheduling?
Thanks,
Luca

@ sticky thread "Digital Connections, SPDIF.

Hi there,
In the thread is mentioned it is NOT possible to play games with surround sound over a digital connection because of the GAMES lack the possibility to encode Dolby:
PC Games
PC games usually use technologies like as EAX to create surround sound, not Dolby Digital. So even if your speaker system has a Dolby Digital decoder, it will be of no use when playing games. The EAX processing is done on the soundcard, and the 6-channel sound is output via the analogue (or digital DIN if available). So you still need analogue connections to your digital speakers for games, if you just use an optical/coax cable you will only get the front left/right sound.
(N.B. X-Box games do support Dolby Digital, so if you connect your X-Box to your Dolby Digital receiver/speakers with the optical cable, you can get full surround sound.)
I think this is not quite correct!
X-Box games do not support Dolby, it is the X-Box!
Sure, PC games do not encode their sound in Dolby, but it is the task of the soundcard to do so. Games create surround sound using EAX, directSound and APIs like that.
(by the way: Dolby Digital is no possibility to create surround sound, it is just an encoding of the final signal)
The digital surround sound, computed by the soundcard (that is why I have bought it, to have it create the sound, and not the CPU) is then passed to the digital interface for CL's speaker systems, or converted to an analog signal.
And there, on the soundcard, I am missing the ability to encode Dolby Digital.
There is no way games will provide Dolby, nor would it be useful to transfer the sound from the soundcard to the CPU and back again for this task.
Why is there no card supporting that? Would it be to expensi've?
What about a Sounblaster series like X-Fi Fatalty Pro Dolby?Message Edited by MCsnuffBobbyK on 08-04-2006 09:24 PM

finchy wrote:What?With all do respect Dale-Cl, don't tell pepople bull**bleep** 'cause I can't stand it anymore."This is because it takes much overhead to encode Dolby, and the sound card isn't fast enough to do this."Part me, but my 4 year-old INTERGRATED music chip (NVidia SoundStorm) can encode to Dolby Digital easily. So the X-fi Processor got more MiPS than Pentium 4 and still cannot handle encoding to DD? C'mon, people are not stupid. Every major card from other producer can encode it to DD and the best ones to DTS Connect.How about You are going to write straight that Creative Labs does NOT want pay licences for using above technologies? Even the worse true is better than constant cheating on your customers.RegardsFinch
The nVidia SoundStorm is the same chip as the one in XBox and it is a dedicated HARDWARE encoder. And nVidia doesn't have the license to produce it anymore. There is NO other sound card chip available now that can do hardware encoding. Only CMedia (not like you sayd "every major card") has some chips that can do software encoding, but from my experience with them, the CPU load is important and in games that is bad.Message Edited by SoNic2367 on 08-04-2006 06:50 PM

V04 Error.... Sticky thread didn't help :(

I got the V04 error for the first time yesterday morning (I've had BtVision since January) and I am still getting the error now.
I have followed the instructions in the sticky thread about V04 several times, along with turning the hub and vision box off seperately to each other and sadly it has made no difference.
BBC Iplayer works fine and I can download on my pc at the maximum line speed no problem, so I have no idea why this is happening.
We dont get much reception and so rely on On Demand to watch a number of programs, so would love to get this sorted as soon as.

What about SPSS 16.0?

Hy everyone,
I'm interested in upgrading to Snow Leopard, but I've seen that SPSS software version 17 won't work with Snow Leopard because it is in the "Software restricted from opening" list released by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258). What about version 16 of SPSS? Will it work? Please respond if any of you has installed SPSS ver 16 on Snow Leopard and tested it. I do really need this software for my job and if it doesn't work i can't upgrade my Mac to SL.
Thank You

Hy everyone,
it seems correct that the workaround above doesn't function for the graphs, I applied it but the graph won't draw. I felt pretty disappointed (I DO NEED graphs).
Nevertheless, I found another guy on http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=9d1c6a09307347037f268707a8e8ea40&sh owtopic=183447&pid=1282675&mode=threaded&start=#entry1282675
that suggests to modify this file into SPSS.app (open the package to show its content):
/Applications/SPSSInc/Statistics17/SPSSStatistics17.0.app/Contents/bin/jvmcfg.in i
So I acted in this way:
1) applied the workaround above (downloaded the older version of java 1.5.0 and putted in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
folder, opened the terminal and typed in the command line that you can find in the workaround, opened Java Preferences in Applications/Utilities and putted J2SE5.0 32bit at the first row): SPSS 16.0 now opening but still without graphs, then
2) Restored "SPSS Inc." folder from my Time Machine backup (I selected a time point in which I didn't have Snow Leopard installed). I suppose that it is an "optional action" but I read somewhere that it could be useful (if the installation of SL hasn't changed nothing in SPSS You'll only lose a bit of time making it, conversely it maybe useful, I suppose...).
3) Opened
Applications/SPSSInc/Statistics17/SPSSStatistics17.0.app/Contents/bin/jvmcfg.ini
in a text editor (better if you make a backup of this file) and changed the line:
jvmlibpath1=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Libraries/
to
jvmlibpath1=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Libraries/
I saved the changes made.
Then I went in SPSS and...Graphs worked!!! (SPSS ver. 16).
The funny thing is that the guy that suggested this workaround had ver.17 and his workaround didn't function for him (because SPSS 17 is blacklisted by Apple), so its patch seems to work only on ver.16 and not on ver17.... :-D.
I'm sorry for him but very grateful: I don't have to reinstall the whole thing and I can use and read graphs.

Mifi 4510L Mifi Hotspot...is it the network? and what about the firmware update?

I have spent several months trying to seek a solution on the repeated and frequent disconnects from the Verizon wireless network using my Mifi 4510 L. No success. I have conversed with Verizon Wireless "experts" on this matter and have basically been ignored, since they do not have a solution. It has cost me a pretty penny in wireless costs due to lost connections in downloads, etc...for which I do not get any credit from Verizon on my wireless bill...go figure.
I have even been accused by Verizon that the problem is my computer and hardware, even though I have ran several hardware, software, and "real-life" connection checks on other wireless networks with no issues at all. I even have been getting better connectivity when I use my Verizon USB UML290...but I hate having to switch moving my SIM card from the USB Modem to the MIfi4510L...one of these days the SIM card will fail. Verizon has checked the signal strength at my home and work locations (which I already knew as good), but never heard back from them.
Anyway, I have verified that my wireless network adapter works just fine on other wireless networks (no dropouts, etc). I have even upgraded to another Windows Operating System - Windows 7...which is more superior than Vista in dealing with wireless communications. I have implemented quite a number of the solutions provided by other great Verizon Wireless Community members, but the connectivity problems continue to occur.
When I did a review of my wireless hardware logs, I noticed that when I was encountering problems, the dynamically assigned address given to me on the Verizon Wireless network changed quite a bit, even when I was using the same web site. When my wireless connection worked fine, the dynamically assigned address was consistent. This seemed to change when I encounter peak network load times.
I would appreciate a straight answer from Verizon Wireless on what is going on with the network. I live in a solid 3G coverage area...but just far away from 4G to benefit for the increased throughput. The closest 4G location footprint is about 40 miles away from me.
Finally, what about the Mifi 4510 L firmware update? I have yet to see any notification about this firmware update, either through normal e-mail channels or even through my Mifi configuration site
http://192.168.1.1/mifi.cgi
What gives?
I realize that I am sounding a little perturbed about this matter, but it has been almost 4 months now...and Verizon is not living up to their part of the bargain on providing good tech support on the Mifi 4510L. When they do not have an answer...they ignore the customer. Not good business!!!

The firmware update was released a few weeks ago and there were multiple threads in this forum for it:
Software Update: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L
The firmware update primarily addresses a problem with the MiFi switching from 3G to 4G and back. I would not expect it to resolve a connection issue for anyone in a 3G only area. Work through the firmware update instructions included in the link above and see if it helps.
There were no email notifications but the MiFi should have been redirecting you to the MiFi homepage every time you tried to browse the internet. The firmware update is mandatory so if you have not already completed the update then there might be something wrong with your device.

Tim Cook said sorry for IOS6 maps, what about WiFi...

Been exhausted more than a week about the wifi connections, tried every way I could find to fix it, router settings change, re-start the net work, wiped all data and registered again, invested a new router....Nothing work...
I called apple servise they told me exactly the same I already tried before, no help at all, asked them when this bug can be fixed, they don't know...
Today TK said sorry about maps but what about the WiFi, noboday in apple know this is a huge bug? Or they know and they just don't care? Or they care but they just don't know how to fix it? Or they know how to fix it but they just too slow?
Actually the WiFi is more fundamental than map, without it, ipad (wifi only version) can not even work.
Does any one know Tim Cook's email so I can send this to him?

The Maps and YouTube issues have been addressed before, but again:
Google is reportedly working on releasing an app for their maps themselves. Until then, you can use their mobile web site or one of the alternate maps apps, many of which have been suggested in other threads. Google already has a YouTube app, though not yet one that takes advantage of the iPad's screen, but there are many other YouTube apps;
I don't know what you mean by "full screen support" being missing;
AirPlay works fine for me;
If you wish to sell your Apple products, though, by all means go ahead if you feel that some other products would suit you better. You might want to look at the FBI warning about malware on Android devices before you decide that the "Apple control freaks" are totally without merit and you go running to Android systems.
Clearly when you bash a product they don't want you posting on their site.
Nonsense, as any quick scan of the forums would quickly show. But the terms of use here clearly state that posts that are nothing but complaints are inappropriate and may be removed.
I see no purpose to your post since you've apparently already decided what you intend to do. If you want real assistance, by all means post back and ask, but if you just want to rant, I'd suggest you not waste your time and spend it posting your stuff for sale on appropriate sites (of which this is not one).
Regards.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

2. If question 1 is possible, can I take it a step further and call a bookmark, i.e. chapter 3.
Our company has it's own appstore and I want to send out links to sections of the ibooks using bookmarks or at the very least take them to the start of the ibook.
I don't need to give them a link to install the ibook as they already have it installed.
Any help would be much appreciated.

That would be cool, but it's not possible. The ibook is not accessible by URL in the user's bookshelf.
