Challenge of the Century

Ok, I'm going to give a blow by blow of my ipod touch problem, let's see who has the know how to help me out!
Two days ago, I plugged my first gen ipod touch into my computer (Vista) and opened itunes. I was told that there is an update available for the touch. I download and install. The only problem is the update would not install, and sent my ipod touch into a lockdown recovery mode. All that appears is the screen indicating that I should connect my ipod to itunes. I restarted the computer, plugged my ipod back in and not only is it not recognized by itunes, I get a prompt that drivers could not be found (something to the effect of computer could not find apple mobile device drivers (recovery mode), would you liek t try to find them?).
I have done a search on the net and found this problem to be common. I followed the common solution found online: try to reset ipod (nothing), reinstall all apple software (nothing), hold down home key while plugging in (nothing), try to reset ipod by holding power & home keys (nothing).
I also attempted the common problem fixer concerning drivers: open device manager, right click "apple mobile device" (complete with yellow triangled exclamation point), choose to reinstall or update driver, and browse to the apple program file directory containing drivers. The result: the drivers still "Cannot be found" despite the fact that they are right there in the folder (at this point most people with this problem have their solution).
So, my situation is: I have a completely bricked ipod touch that can't be shut off (no red slider after holding down power), that can't connect to itunes, and cannot be fixed via the common solution to problems similar to my own.
Any ideas?

Hmmmm. A few times I've seen that sort of thing happen if there was a bit of disk damage near the drivers.
So it might be worth running a disk check over the drive on which you've got those program files installed. Here's Vista instructions for that:
[Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
Does the disk check (or checks) find any errors? If so, can Windows find your drivers again?

Greatest discovery of the century?

Yep, it’s another science post. Apologies in advance but I have to share this!
Hopefully everyone’s heard about this, but CERN announced on Wednesday that they have found a Higgs Boson!
Wednesday was my day off so at around mid-morning I opened up Twitter and pretty much every single tweet in my timeline was about this. I had to read a couple of articles (and made a point of checking out CERN’s own Twitter page) before I could set aside my disbelief.
Queue excited text to three equally geeky friends of mine to let them know of this (including our very own DavidM). The rest of my morning was spent reading up about it.
Up until Wednesday, I had a vague understanding of why finding a Higgs Boson was so important, so since the announcement I’ve been trying to read up more about it. Unfortunately, articles about it seem to have either overly simplistic or overly complicated explanations about it, so whilst I understand that this particle is essentially responsible for creating mass and I understand some the finer details in my head, I still couldn’t sit down and explain it to someone.
Arguably, this is the greatest discovery of the century and I am very pleased it happened during my lifetime.
Was anyone else equally excited about this or was it just me?

DATE probs with turn-of-the-century

Any suggestions are appreciated. This is probably something hundreds of you have run across, but I am experiencing it now, for the first time, with two separate WinNT4 installs.
For background: http://technet.oracle.com/doc/server.804/a58225/ch3all.htm#1015154
The above hyperlink is the Oracle technet reference, which highlights the DATE function question to which I refer below.
In preparation for the SQL/PLSQL 8.0 exam, I am running into a DATE problem, which the RR vs YY formats in SQL8 text do not address. On two separate PCs both running WinNT4.0, the following different results are obtained.
Using the following Select statement with the Oracle free sample database:
SELECT TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(HIREDATE,1),DD-MON-YYYY) NEXT MONTH
FROM EMP
WHERE ENAME = SMITH
Differring Results:
From my laptop:
Next month
17-Jan-2081
From my desktop:
Next month
17-Jan-1981
My issue is that all aritmetic calcs involving the DATE functions are coming up with errors by one PC looking at the 21st century vs both centuries. Any advice?
Thanks

Check that hiredate for SMITH is in fact the same date on each machine (use format mask DD-MON-YYYY). I think you'll find that they're different.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Tks Evelyn. Yes you were right. The source of the prob the Oracle sample DB. The BuildSportsDB.sql script uses all table inserts in mask format DD-MON-YY. The revised Oracle sample DB script, entitled BuildSportsObjs.sql uses an input format for all dates DD-MON-YYYY. Each Hiredate had handles like 21-Jan-1981 in the corrected script.
Seems (however) that the server shuld have been able to handle the DD-Mon-YY . Thanks again for your response. ...W

What are the major challenges for the end-user in using Positive Time Management

Hi Seniors,
Can anybody please provide me some data on the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
Positive time management is slightly difficult to implement compared to negative time management.
In negative time management, you use planned working times + deviations in time evaluation.
In positive time management, you record actual times through time recording system. You have to bring these times to SAP through an interface and then evaluate the actual times against the planned times and accordingly pay them out. You would need to pay attention regarding the integration between SAP R/3 and time recording system.
Building rules for positive time management is slightly more challenging compared to negative time management.
Kindly go through the below documents on positive time management which will give you more idea about the same.
Integration of Time Recording Terminals with SAP R/3
Determination of First Clock In & Last Clock Out in Positive Time Evaluation
Late Coming, Early Going and Unauthorized absence
Prorated Grant of Absence Quota for Contract Period in Time Evaluation
Splitting of Overtime Hours after X Hours in Time Evaluation
Rounding off Overtime Hours Generated via T510S table in Time Evaluation
Public Holiday Calendar and Work Schedule Rules
I hope these are helpful to you.
Thanks and regards,
Vivek Barnwal

A challenge for the pros

this one is a tough one.. ive checked all the forum archives this topic has not been "discussed" yet so maybe there is a "pro" out there up to the challenge!! i am trying to convert an mpeg1 into dv for use in imovie. streamclip 1.5.1 will not work i get the message "cannot find video or audio track" is anyone up to the challenge ?? can u figure this one out ?!!

Will the MPEG open in QuickTime and display as Mpeg track? Do you KNOW it is MPEG1?
Give iSquint a try to see if it has the same problem but as they both are built on QuickTime, they both may have the same problems.

Open New Safari Window: A Challenge To The Gurus!

I asked this question in Safari Community 4 days ago - to no avail. So I challenge the gurus here. Can you try and help me?
The problem:
• It takes half a second to open a new empty Safari window, thanks to a cute graphics effect while opening.
• Opening TextEdit, new Mail window, opening iTunes is absolutely instantaneous on my Mac Pro late 2013.
• I want my new empty Safari window to snap open on the monitor. In other words, I want to get rid of this graphids effect,.
A small problem, but I would love an answer. Any answer would be appreciated. Any. You could tell me for example:
• You're stupid to ask such a question.
• There is no solution to your problem (which means that YOU don't know the answer... )
• I do have a solution !
• Howya doin?
I distribute points for help, for ansers, anything. I'm not cheap on this. And it's been said that I was opinionated.
I'm gonna haunt the forums with this till someone tells me to buzz off. On the bright side of things, I like a good laugh and can take a good joke. Let's try something, guys.. This Mac Pro late 2013 is some awsome piece of computing powerhouse, it deserves new windows snapping into place.
Sorry if I was longish, and I hope you had some fun reading this and trying to find an answer.

Challenge of the day - "beginner" errors in SAP-delivered transactions

1. Read this post here:
Question on SWUI_SINGLE and SWUI_START
2. Name another SAP-delivered transaction that exhibits the same incorrect behavior as SWUI_SINGLE and SWUI_START.
Note: Assume that the behavior of these transactions at this customer site is not due to an error in system config, but rather to insufficient internal SAP QA/QC.
If the behavior of SWUI_SINGLE and SWUI_START is not due to a config error at this customer site, these are really remarkable transactions. I've never seen SAP transactions delivered with such gross "beginner" errors.
Have you?

Hi Stephen -
How could I teach them "/nex" when I had deliberately forgotten it myself ... I'm the guy you love to hate when you're standing behind him watching him try to get something done "fast" ... I still go up to the menu bar for copy/paste/cut in Office sometimes ...
It's my way of being old-fashioned - like the engineers who wouldn't give up their rules for calculators ...
As far as EEWB goes, well I can see why nobody cares about it ... remember the old saying:
"Real programmers don't program in wussy languages like LISP ... they program right down to the bare metal" ...
... same goes for any tool that has "easy" and "workbench" in it ...
Just kidding, of course ...

A challenge for the Ipod Experts

My 5th Gen 30gb ipod (18 months old )has worked flawlessly until I
upgraded to latest software (1.3) last weekend. Since then, my ipod is
completley knackered and the problems have definetley started since the recent download.Firstly All of the music has been completley erased and when
connected to computer it refuses to sync anything from the library
advising ''error 48''. I spoke to someone at Apple help desk last friday
who emailed me something to fix error 48 but it has not made a bit of
difference - error 48 still keeps coming up. In addition to this my ipod
will not let me re-store to factory settings, when I try this a
different error comes up - saying files in use by another application.Ipod
will therefore not re-store or re-set. I have tried putting it into disk
mode, but again it won't let me. I have completley drained the battery
and re-charged it - still same problem. I have changed the drive letter
on PC- still makes no difference, I have uninstalled and re-install
ed itunes several times - still no difference, constantly comes up
with error 48. As well as this, the ipod is showing up as 25gb of used
disk space on the orange bar, but there is nothing at all on the ipod so
how can it be full? Sometimes it shows up on my computer - sometimes it
doesnt.
My ipod is out of Warranty now and therefore its apparently down to me
to have it fixed??!! I am sooooooooo frustrated because I have taken very good
care of an item that cost me alot of money and which now appears to be
completley useless.
There appears to be a lot of posts recently relating to similar issues following download of software, but nothing specific that seems to fix it. I've tried all of the advice given to others and just nothing works, so could one of the experts please try and help me?

If you get that network message when you try to uninstall iTunes with add/remove programs, you usually need to do an installer clean up with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility.
Here is a method for full removal of iTunes and related programs with clean up and reinstall:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

From CS3 to CS5,..challenged in the history brush

I get no changes when using the history brush. Think I am using it in a similar fashion as I did in CS3 and have tried multiple ways of using it. Help anyone...

You will have noticed in the above code that DW CS 5.5 works with CSS styles and so you need to be able to manipulate styles effectively to get the best results.
In your code you have: Style24, style42, style61, style25, style21. Now this is definitnitely a recipe for disaster because of so many styles in such a short code.
To change the color, you need to go to these styles and enter the code manually. to change color of the text, the code is:
color: red; /* or enter any hexadecimal code of your chose like #ffffff */
The summary of the necessary codes would like this:
table {
    background-color: lime;
    color: fuchsia;
td {
    background-color: blue;
    color: yellow;
tr {
    background-color: red;
    color: white;
I hope you ge the idea.

Challenge: Controlling the output stream of includes within iterative tags

Problem:
How can you control the output stream of an iterative tag that is making an include on each iteration (either by using the jsp include tag or by a custom tag that does an pageContext.include(). Example of the first of such a case could be:
<wf:iterator name="...">
<div>
<jsp:include page="test.jsp" flush="true"/>
</div>
<wf:iterator>
I now want to see the following output:
<div>
..content of jsp file 1
</div>
<div>
...content of jsp file 2
</div>
etc....
However what I AM seeing is that the jsp content is flushed to the output stream before the divs like this:
...content of jsp file 1
...content of jsp file 2
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
See!? How is that and what can I do to control the output stream??
Thanks
Alf Johannessen
Ariol

This is a stab in the dark, but have you tried writing your div tags out using the JSP directive:
out.println("<div>");
or
<%="<div>"%>
It looks like a bug in the iterator. I'd suggest you try setting flush to be false, but I know that's not supported yet (unless you've updated your libraries) ...

Question of the century

why can't i find a serial # on the box or cd envelope for elements 12 the only # on anything is about 30 digits not 24 as required

You probably got a redemption code rather than a serial number. Also check your receipt. You use the code to get a serial number.

Ha ha - find "Track 2" by the artist Aphex Twin and do a Spectrum View on the end of the song...Warning: not for the faint of heart!

Take that MP4 and put it into your 'videos' folder....In your 'my documents' there are My photos, my videos, etc. Put the MP4 into the videos folder.
then open iTunes.
I believe it's 'file' 'import' and navigate to that video folder. Choose your TV show and let iTUnes do its thing
Then connect your iPad to your computer. Once you see the name of your ipad in the left menu area (might need to hit control S to make the side bar visible) you'll see tabs above the window and one of those will be the video tab. Click on that. I can't recall if you have to choose to sync selected videos or not (I'm at work and don't have it in front of me), but you should see the contents of that videos folder and from there you can choose your TV show by checking a box. Once it's chosen, sync to confirm that you want that on your iPad. Let iTunes do its thing and the video should sync onto your ipad.

Challenges with the TREX Stack 14 with Windows 2003 Server

Hi
I have been struggling with the TREX installation on Windows 2003 server and are note able to get the green icon for the HTTP server.
I have been searching this Forum and seen a lot of topics on this issue, but unfortunately I am not able to solve it.
On my server I have installed the following components:
EP stack 14
SAP R/3
SAP ITS
If anyone have any ideas of how to solve my case - I will be very pleased
Regards
Kay-Arne S. Aarlie

Hi
We have managed to solve this issue
First i set the security settings for my trex_instance folder "C:\usr\sap\trex_06". Here i added the user IWAM_"MyHost" which is the "Launch IIS Process Account". Gave it the permissions for "Read & Execute, List Folder Content, Read" and then hit the button "Advanced" - selected the user once more and "Apply" - "OK" - "OK".
In the IIS and its properties for Web Sites and Services i set the checkbox for "Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode".
Restarted the IIS and the TREX HTTPServer went green and I was also able to use the ITS.
Regards

no offense darrylNone taken.
but most of the (dare i say) indian heavy threads look exactly like that.I'ts worse in the mobility forums. There's another thread from (I think) 2003 about using a mobile phone as a IR remote for TV ... starts out sane and deenerates around #8 - #10... I think I saw 293 posts at last resurrection. (edit: no, there are "only" 70. And it's from 2005. Or maybe there's another one like that somewhere.)
But I'll say this: around half of the members offering help in CLDC and MIDP / WTK forums have Indian-like nics, and a few of them I know to be Indian (inasmuch as one can "know" about an internet nic)... one Frenchman (no offence to anyone from France) who BSed more than he ever helped, and seemed to take great pleasure in abusing newbies... till the day I gave him enough rope to hang himself, after which his forum activities seemed to taper off (OK maybe it was a coincidence) plus one from Chicago who's probably the most knowledgeable.
The craziest part is that there are tons of sample codes available for j2me -- even more than there are for j2se, I think. Till today there hasn't been anything I wanted to try for that I couldn't patch together someone else's codes, maybe from 3 different sites, and compile/debug/run it.
check out the media sections theyre full of threads full of pages full of "snd codz plz 2 vijay@..."Anything entertaining there? I've never visited those forums ever. maybe I should take a looksee.
