Constant DC's

Been having this issue since Monday night where I had stable net for 800 + hours, then it sudenly went all funny and constant DC's
Longest connection seems to be afternoons of 6 hours however noticeing high noise margines, I guess due to the constant resets.
This examble being a hour connection. I have not done anything to the router apart from one or two reboots over past days, to which nothing really changes...
Noise margine on the 800+ hours was if I remember right 12 - 18 so at the moment it always in the 30's

Massive IMAP problem, multiple iPhones - constant spinning wheel

A friend has had problems using email on his iPhone since he got it, and now after a couple of months of no problems, mine has started doing the same thing.
The problem started for him on a UK 1.1.2 firmware iPhone with an IMAP account. If you start from scratch, manually setup an IMAP account, it will connect and get your messages. However later, you will find that the iPhone email program is constantly showing the spinning wheel at the top of the screen (showing activity), not the symbol at the bottom of the screen. Worse, the battery rapidly runs down (because it is doing constant data transfers), and worse new emails do not reliably get through. This happens whether you are using GPRS, EDGE, or WiFi (does not make a difference). This problem still happens with 1.1.3 firmware. There is so much data transfer happening (or trying to happen) that the phone actually gets quite warm.
This week after a couple of months of owning my own iPhone with 1.1.3 firmware has also started doing the same thing. My main IMAP account is on a totally different server, running a different server application to my friends. However it also seems to happen with GMail accounts (using IMAP).
I am currently at home and I can see my WiFi (AirPort Extreme) base-station showing lots of activity and I know that no other WiFi devices are active so it is purely the iPhone. Turning off the email account stops the problem (and I can then see the WiFi activity stop as well) but that is hardly a solution. Also setting it to manual polling for email helps but again is not a proper solution. It is so bad that sending emails is very difficult as well.
Even though at the iPhone end nothing seems to be coming through, one can see the iPhone as a connected user at the server end (I have access to the servers, obviously not for Gmail though).
My friend has swapped his phone four times at the Apple Store and still has the problem, and as I said mine has started as well. Turning off and on does not help, resetting network settings does not help.
Apple Mail on a Mac (running both Leopard and Tiger), and other IMAP clients have no problems with the same IMAP accounts (for both of us).
Other Internet access like Web, Stock Widget, Weather Widget, even the iTunes WiFi store work fine. It is just email that is broken.

The problem is that Mail app in iPhone is trying to download message headers via FETCH command and does not handle properly response from IMAP server which does not support partial download of email headers. It starts asking for the headers in the infinite loop which quickly drains out the battery
More recent testing by myself reveals it is getting stuck on some messages when doing the 'message peek' to get the summary of an email. It gets the subjects fine (as the first pass) but then gets stuck on some emails when doing the second pass to get the summary. Apple Mail on a Mac does not (as far as I am aware) do a message peek so does not have this problem.
The two different makes of server I have seen this problem with do support this message peek command in that at least some of the time it is working with the iPhone.
I was able to get a debug level log which shows entries like this
\[02/Apr/2008 23:56:17\]\[48699904\] {imaps} Peek FETCH executed on message 0000ba58 in folder [email protected]/INBOX
\[02/Apr/2008 23:56:17\]\[48699904\] {imaps} Sent 1 fetch responses
\[02/Apr/2008 23:56:18\]\[48699904\] {imaps} Command 293 UID FETCH 47704 BODY.PEEK\[2.HEADER\]<1177.15207>
\[02/Apr/2008 23:56:18\]\[48699904\] {imaps} Peek FETCH executed on message 0000ba58 in folder [email protected]/INBOX
\[02/Apr/2008 23:56:18\]\[48699904\] {imaps} Sent 1 fetch responses
\[02/Apr/2008 23:56:18\]\[48699904\] {imaps} Command 294 UID FETCH 47704 BODY.PEEK\[2.HEADER\]<1177.15207>
The above shows two repetitions but it keeps on (and on, and on). Other occasions show this does work for other messages. If I deliberately arrange to get the iPhone to connect to get the latest messages I can see it get stuck on a particular message, and then even if I turn it off and back on and reconnect it will get stuck on the same message. If repeated on a later date then the contents of the inbox will have changed and the message it gets stuck on will be different.
As it seems to be linked to specific messages it was not a surprise that when this is tried on a practically empty email account the problem does not occur.
This has happened with multiple different makes of mail server (well at least two), multiple email accounts, multiple users, and multiple different iPhones (one person had his swapped four times). It does not happen with 'ordinary' IMAP client software, only with the iPhone.
Even if one for arguments sake assumes the mail server is at fault and is sending the iPhone garbage, the iPhone should only try a single specific email a maximum number of times (for example five), and then give up. This would prevent it draining the battery so fast and trying to cook itself (by constantly running its transmitter).

Error while assigning constant to infoobject in open hub transformation

While assigning constants(in rule details) to infoobject in a transformation in a open hub I am getting an error "The Object Name is not allowed to be empty"
Can anyone tell my why this is happening? What should I do now?

Hi,
In the transformation, have you connected that rule to any target field of your destination? If not, then do that and then try to create the routine.

FF 18.0.1 constant disk activity after 1 minute with no tabs open

FF 18.0.1 on Windows XP SP3.
Within 1 minute of starting FF I observe constant and excessive disk activity.
I am unable to use any other applications due to the response time.
I have closed all tabs and disabled all plugins.
I have just started a FF "reset to factory default", but pop-up window for "Please wait while Firefox cleans up your old data" has been running for 15 minutes.
Any ideas?

It sounds like you've got some other problems on your computer as well.
Restart your PC, then try the steps at http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx#fbid=6pXkdz7T_94 to try to clean your computer up.
After that, Try to reset Firefox again.

XSLT mapping, how can I include a Runtime Constants in target message

Hi, I would like in my XSLT mapping, to have an attribute include the MessageID.
From my understanding of the online help [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/73/f61eea1741453eb8f794e150067930/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/73/f61eea1741453eb8f794e150067930/content.htm], I have the following code in my XSL:
<xsl:param name="MessageId" />
<xsl:attribute name="filename">Output_<xsl:value-of select="$MessageId"/>.xml</xsl:attribute>
But for now the result is to have a filename attribute that only contains: "Output_.xml" as if the $MessageId is empty.
Anyone experienced successfully using one of those runtime constants with XSLT mapping ?
Cheers,
greg

Hi, found the answer of why it was not running: I'm in a transform step of a BPM:

Bracket in Regular Expression constant?

I am a bit puzzled by the behavior I am experiencing in LV 2011. I hope to get some light from experts out there.
I am trying to parse a messy ASCII header file and after having split it into individual lines (strings), I use the "Match Regular Expression" function to remove some of the info before the substantial information.
Some of the strings include square brackets ([, ]), which are special characters for the function, therefore, as documented in the help, one needs to precede them with a backslash.
Example:
I want to parse the following line:
#PR [PR_DEV,I,2]
One way (which I am using because of considerations related to the rest of the header) is the the following:
Note that the first string constant is using "Code Display" whereas the second one is using "Normal Display".
Why did I not put a backslash in front of the bracket in the first string, you may ask? Well, I did, but it disappeared after I typed the other characters. And reverting to "Normal Display" did not restore it.
Of course, the first version does not parse the input string correctly, whereas the second one does it fine.
In other words, the custom display string (which is convenient for cryptic codes such as \s* or to distinguish between space and tab...or simply ENTER tabs!) seems to mess up with the \[ combo (likewise with the \] one).
It is not a huge deal. I can use the "Normal Display" mode, but I tend to think that this qualifies as a hidden "feature". And again, it is still a pain in the ... when dealing with special characters such as tabs, etc...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think that [ is a special character which needs to be preceded by a backslash, but it is not one of the defined backslash characters (like \s). So, you need to put in two \\ to get one \ while in '\' Codes Display.
You can put in any character by using \xx where the xx is a hex character using only upper case letters for A..F. I converted the strings to byte arrays and tried to see what made the arrays match and the Match work.

2012 13" MacBook Pro constant rainbow wheel and heating after upgrade to Yosemite. Link Davis can you please have a look?

Hey guys, I've been trying to save my mac from this constant lag for the past few days to no avail. I've been reading the forums and trying to figure this out myself but I haven't been able to reach a solution so here I am. I've done a clean reinstall. I've run disk permissions and repaired the disk. I've reset PRAM. I don't have FileVault running. I am constantly getting rainbow wheel, even as I'm typing this question out. Applications freeze in their own windows, for example, Chrome will freeze but I will still be able to move over to another application like safari and use safari. It's practically impossible to run any kind media because it stutters constantly. Any and all help is welcome, thanks in advance.
Problem description:
Mid 2012 13” Macbook Pro slowed to a crawl after update to Yosemite. I currently have 10.10.1 running. I have tried a clean install, I’ve resetted PRAM, I’ve run disk permission verification and repair. None have helped. I constantly get rainbow wheel and all sorts of media stutters.
Below are my EtreCheck results. Any and all help is welcome, thanks in advance guys.

Constant lock ups with Leopard!

I find myself having to hold in the power button to turn my computer off almost everyday now! I am not sure what is causing these constant lock ups! Ever since upgrading to Leopard have I noticed this. Yesterday It happened when trying to open iTunes. Today it happened when I clicked on MAIL. The icon just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. I hit FORCE QUIT and that doesn't work either.
Do I need to clear something out or get rid of something? Even when I try to restart my computer sometimes that will lock up too! The only way to get around any of these issues is to hold in the power button to turn the whole computer off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on. Once its back on, then I have full functionality out the computer again but its getting on my nerves that I have to do this all to often!
I think they are some cool features with Leopard but I am experiencing way to many bugs/problems with it to be 100% happy with it.
As I am writing this posting, I just clicked on my APPLE icon in the top left of the screen and then clicked ABOUT THIS MAC to make sure I was using the most current version, and NOTHING happened!

Try reinstalling. It sounds like you did an upgrade from an earlier version that may have been corrupt to start with. You may be able to do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Constant stream of lock ups with Lion 10.7.2

At my wits end since upgrading to Lion (10.7.2). I get a constant stream of application lock ups (beach ball) on every app I try: Firefox (8.0.1) , intermitent connectivity to Internet (although I know my connection is good); App Store unable to connect; iTune unable to connect to store; Parallels Desktop locks up; Outlook (Office Mac 2011) locks up, Time Machine locks up, and more not mentioned. None of these seem to occur at the same time; it's more like the app that decides to not work is random. Firefox is good but App Store will not connect; iTunes is good, but Firefox will not connect.
Each time I'm forced to restart or shutdown only to have similar, but not the same, errors after I log back on. The errors (lock ups) started right after the upgrade and have gotten progressively worse as the days/weeks go by. At the point now where the PC is completely unreliable. It's a crap shoot to find out what is working and what is not.
I've tried about everything mentioned in the forums -- verified/fixed permissions, used Mac OS install DVD to verify/fix HDD issues; no help.
Prior to upgrade, I had zero issues running SL -- all of this started with Lion.

In any case, shouldn't Software Update recognise what I am running and what is needed to update it successfully?
To a point. It will inform you of a system update, as with Lion 10.7.2 for example, but that is not the combo update. I set my Systum Updates to install manually, if I see an OS update, I always go to
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
And choose the Combo update whice is always a little bigger, but a cumulative install as mentioned. Always appears to be more stable.

Constant intermittent spinning wheel

2013 MBP, running 10.9.3.
For the last few days, Very Sick Mac. Every operation gets the spinning beach ball, and 5 - 20 second pause/lockup. Just copying the text below, opening Safari and getting to here has seen a dozen or so lock-up events and taken 10+ minutes. Have spent days trying suggestions found here and elsewhere regarding Spotlight Indexing, Disks spinning down, etc. etc.
Monitoring in Activity Monitor, can't see anything untoward, but as per below, constant error messages. Have Repaired permissions (which in itself was epic, as Disk Utility kept locking up), opened in Command-R mode and repaired disk etc. etc., everything seems fine. I still get the same errors in Safe Mode.
Installed Mavericks 2 days ago, but was happening beforehand. A couple of sequences of errors below. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I am using Windows 8.

Hi,
Which version of Photoshop Elements are you trying to install?
Are you installing from DVD or a download?
If DVD, make sure you are using the Windows one, not the MAC one.
What device are you trying to install on?
Does your system meet the required spec?
Are you on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1?

Constant Selection in BEx Query Designer on BI7

Hi guys
According to this blog <a href="/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/19/the-hidden-secret-of-constant-selection Selection</a>, we can create constant selection on both Characteristics and Key figures. I understand how to do it with restricted key figures.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to create constant selection for a Characteristic in BEx Query Designer on BI7. I can't find options for 'constant selection'
Or is this the same thing when you include or exclude values?

Thanks Krishna
I am actually using a Multiprovider for my queries but business requirements mean I need to create joins.
I am trying to avoid Infosets and I believe another way is to use the Constant Selection feature in Query Designer.
Going back to my previous posting, I know how this is done with a restricted KF but I don't know how when it comes to characteristics.
Can anyone help?

What is the difference between String Constant and Empty String Constant

What is the difference between string constant which does not contain any value and the Empty string constant?
While testing a VI which contain a normal string constant in VI analyzer, it gives error to change string constant with the empty string constant?

Readability.
Functionally, they are the same. From a coding standpoint, the Empty String Constant is unambiguous.
It is empty and will always be; good for initialization. Also, because you can not type a value into and Empty String Constant, someone would need to conciously replace it to set a 'default' value that is something other than NULL.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

How do I write an external class with global constants?

Hi you all !
First I want to explain what exactly I want to do:
I have an application that should run in different resolutions. The app runs fullscreen, and I don't use Layouts or something, just a single Frame with a Graphics Object.
Now to handle the different resolutions, I want to write an external class with some constants to use. The usage in my main Class should be something like this:
public
class blah
private Constants myConstants;
public blah()
if (highResolution)
myConstants = new hiResConstants();
else
myConstants = new loResConstants();
System.println(String.valueOf(myConstants.SCREEN_WIDTH);
}or somthing like that. The important fact is that I can choose the constants at runtime and that I am NOT forced to use methods to get the values, cause something like
System.println(String.valueOf(myConstants.getScreenWidth());sux if you have methods using 5 or more parameters.
Anybody out there who understood my problem and can help me??? PLEASE?
best regards,
Skippy

First, what's so much worse about
System.println(myConstants.getScreenWidth());
than
System.println(myConstants.ScreenWidth);
Is the extra five characters really that bad? (Note
you don't need the String.valueOf method call.)Well actually it was a wrong example I gave here, but it's not the call that makes me shake but the implementation:
public int screenWidth = 1024;vs.
public
int getScreenWidth()
return 1024;
}Here it makes a bigger difference, even when you think of managing about 100 or even more constants.
Second, why do you have methods that take five or more
parameters!?Well, maybe this example show up what I mean:
if (cursorIsInArea(100,100,200,200,areaId))
doSomeStuff();Ok, I could use Rectangles here, but if you think of the timing here (I draw 30 frames / sec and this check comes about every frame or the animation would be choppy) I refuse to create an Object everytime I make this call.
Btw: Is it worth thinking about the time of execution like I did in this example? OO is a neat thing, but is it that fast?
I don't think isCursorInArea(new Rectangle(100,100,200,200),areaId) is such a great idea, but I might be wrong.
It sounds like you're trying to compound a bad design
with an even worse design for no good reason!Well, I'm not that experienced Java programmer to judge about that, but I (and my profs at university too) found my codes well structured and designed so far.

PS: the string.valueOf(123) call came from cut&paste:
system.out.println(string.valueOf(number1)+string.valueOf(number2));Try this without the function.... ;-)
