Custom screen layouts - things to watch out for?

Hi guys (Willam ),
We've had a designer customise a screen layout for us. We started with Desktop_Layout. The designer doesn't know Robohelp, and the documentation is sparse, to say the least.
I'm wondering what issues we may run in to and if there is anything we absolutely, definitely shouldn't do.
For example,
@charset "utf-8", and * and html definitions have been added to the stylesheet
instead of embedding the toc book images in the Topic.slp, the images are coded in the css.
additional divs have been added (such as left-column, right-column, wrapper, content-wrapper)
some divs have been removed
Anything for which there was not an obvious use has been removed, e.g. wTOCNodeCloseBook, div.wTopic
additional css has been added to style the content of the "topic holder" section. e.g. content p, content h1, content h2.
The Search results page is called "Topic", although it seems to have the correct icon in the Project Setup Pod.
There are regular html tags inside the search results layout, e.g. <h2><?rh-msp-search-result-title class="wSearchResultTitle" ?></h2>, <p><?rh-msp-search-result-url class="wSearchURL" ?> </p>
That's just what I've been able to determine from a quick look. I'm really not sure what else may have been done.
I suppose I just want to know if we are setting ourselves up for a disaster somewhere.
Thanks,
Amber

Thanks very much Wi.Es
The ToC bug you mention doesn't seem to be a problem for us - we're on 11.0.0 still.
Removed divs breaking the editor isn't a problem as I couldn't figure out how to use the editor anyway.
Currently we only support IE9 on desktop, so whether mobile or other browsers work isn't a consideration. I've mentioned it as a future concern, though and pointed out we'd probably have to redo the design from scratch.
I've asked for anything styling the topic content to be backed out and sent to me to put in the regular stylesheet. (I wanted to do that anyway.)
The 'Search results' layout being called 'Topic' - the designer is on 11.0.1. The generated output seems to work okay, so I'm planning to ignore it for now.
RoboWizard - not me. I'll be handballing to the opposition.

2-3 things to watch out for when SAP is the source for a Data Warehouse

Hello
What are 2-3 things to watch out for when SAP is the source for a Data Warehouse (Informatica for ETL and Cognos for reporting)?
Thanks
G. Vijay

Going through some or all of this might help:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.220
208.67.220.222
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

Watch out for EZ numbers

Watch out for a new class of phone numbers Verizon has termed "EZ numbers". Here in Philadelphia PA they are all in the 215-936 exchange, which was formerly only used for Verizon's weather forecasts. These numbers are an offshoot of 900 and 976 numbers and cost $5.00 per call. They give out passcodes for people to use on datelines, partylines etc. These numbers are never blocked automatically by Verizon; you have to call the business office and request it. Unfortunately knowledge about this is so rare that even some Verizon reps will not know what you are talking about but most will. These numbers are advertised by the datelines and partylines themselves. Also even if you get a block put on for these services, ordering certain optional features on your line such as Do Not Disturb or Call Intercept may cause the block to disappear as itt is not compatible with certain Verizon services. Be careful because if charges are made on your phone from these numbers Verizon will not take them off your bill and will then block BOTH your toll and non basic services until the charges are paid.

I was on the phone with customer service for an hour because I didn't understand my bill. I'm absolutely positive I'm paying the same amount I was previously, I'm absolutely sure that I have one less gig of data than I did previously and I'm absolutely sure that the sales person left out the details that would have told me this when I switched plans. The only compromise that happened here is I lost a gig of data because I believed what I heard at the store. It was a total misrepresentation presented in a way that's hard to pass up.
I'm done with Verizon regardless, I'm just spreading the word in the hopes that it helps others avoid this situation. I guess the one good thing is that it's not an extended contract so I can switch to another provider sooner than later.

Watch out for Wondershare

Watch out for Wondershare DVD for iPhone converter. Doesn't work and their support is really bad. Insulting and not helpful. Try everything else before you try them.

What do I need to watch out for when installing Mountain Lion from scratch?

I feel like it's a good moment to erase everything from my computer and reinstall Mountain Lion. I'd like to know which things I should watch out for.
Most of my important stuff is located on an external hard drive. Some of the applications are located there as well, the other ones I can simply re-downloading, I don't mind this.
I have my whole iTunes library and my iPhoto library which obviously I'd like to keep. I'm also concerned about my text messages on my iPhone -- they're very important to me. And so are also my Notes, Reminders, and Contacts.
The thing is, I do not want to do a fresh install and then reload a backup. What would be the sense of making this? None I guess... I'm doing a fresh install becuase I believe there's lots of useless files and maybe even dangerous files on my Mac that I'd like to get rid of. I guess that if I would load the backup, they would all be here again...
Is it maybe possible to load only certain things from Time Machine, for example my iPhoto or iTunes library?
Maybe someone can help me here, totally new with this...

Alright, I'm slowly getting ready to do this. Apparently I do not need an install DVD but I can just press CMD+R to get to the option to do a fresh install, that's why my Mac didn't come with an install DVD (that's what I've read and what I've been told at least).
Now I'm wondering... do I need to copy those items from the User folder at all? I mean, I have a complete backup on an external hard drive. I could just go there in the folders and select what I would like to copy to my Mac again, suchs as my music library or photo library. Is there any risks? I'm worried about even the smallest things, like creation dates changing and stuff like this. They mean something to me

Two Q's: HD noise, and need to watch out for anything after minor "fall"?

Apologies in advance; I'm guessing that I'm concerned about nothing in both cases here, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask (besides making me look paranoid :D).
1) You know that "grinding/clicking" noise HDs typically make when working? (I mean the one normally associated with HDs, not any of the "click of death" stuff.) Occasionally, I hear a single grind/click that's louder and/or sharper than the usual. Anyone else hear that? I'm assuming it's normal, but just asking.
2) I put my laptop down on a wad of sheets atop a futon of mine while I did something else. Unlike usual, the laptop slid off the sheets onto the surface of the futon. The momentum caused it to further slide off the edge of the futon onto the carpeted floor (about 10.5 inches off the floor; it's a thick futon) with a very audible "thunk." It landed with one edge still propped on the edge of the futon, and I believe, tho' I'm not 100% sure, it landed hinge-side first.
Any chance anything got jarred out of whack or anything like that? Anything I should watch out for as I use it (as I'm doing now; seems fine so far)?
Thanks.

Perhaps, then, "grinding" wasn't the best word, because it definitely wasn't any sound that I haven't heard from a perfectly functioning HD before - just a little louder. "Whirring"? Hmm.
This still concerns me. The HD should not make any noise other then a very light tick or click caused by the r/w head seeking a track or another slightly louder click or even clunk when the heads park. The parking is a one time thing, repeated as often as once every half minute or so under some undesirable circumstances, not a continuous chatter of any kind. Normally it should only sound when you power down or when you move the computer.
One other normal sound is a "white noise" sound caused by the rushing of air as the platters spin. They spin at a constant speed but the whooooosh sound made can vary slightly due to the fact the r/w head may be near the center of the platters or near the outer edge, each place making a slightly different noise. The whooosh sound maybe should be described as a continuous shhh. It is always present when the drive spins if it is audible at all on any given drive. On slower drives, 5400 RPM, it can be virtually silent.
A hard drive can have a vibration that can be felt in the hand, and can also be heard as a hum. It will also be constant whenever the drive is spinning. It does not come an go. It is by far more common in 7200 RPM or faster drives.
• light clicking = head seek
• louder single click/clunk = head park
• shhh = air turbulence caused by spinning platters
• continuous hum = vibration caused by spinning platters

Something to watch out for...

hi, i was getting pretty desperate with my pc the other day, so i bought a gigabyte mobo, to try my cpu out on..
all started ok, untill installing graphic's drivers and such when i started to get the all familiar 0x0000007f errors..
so i looked at my cpu a bit more carefully, and guess what...
on 3 of the pins was a thin layer of heatsink paste..
so, with the help of a cheap toothbrush i cleaned the pins and put my old 875pNeo back to work..
yep.. i feel really dumb.
but got to thinking, how many others may well have greasy finger prints or heatsink goop on their pins??
hope it helps..

The CPU pins are really something to watch out for as if something goes wrong there, it'll goes wrong everywhere !!!
My friend's client try to fix up a P4 3.0GHz HT system himself so he don't need to pay for installation charges and the next day, he brought it back to the shop complaining that he was given a bad CPU, my friend tested the system and found out that was completely no sign of life after hitting the power button. At wits ends, we decided to take everything out to check and we were shocked to near death ... guess what... the socket handle wasn't even pushed in completely to lock the CPU into the socket and he has placed the CPU chip wrong without following the golden arrow and it caused the one empty socket and one fully bent down golden pin, what's worse was the Z-Bracket for the heatsink was not fully fixed in!!! So that wasn't a complete force to push the heatsink down to fully contact with the CPU chip... I've no idea how he set the whole thing up in such a mess... .
This bad setup has burn down the CPU itself due to overheating, one burnt CPU socket (almost the whole mobo was burn down...), one burnt FX5600 VGA card, 2 burnt DDR400 RAMs, 2 burnt dimm slots, 2 burnt SATA 120GB Seagate HDDs, 1 burnt CWT 550watts PSU and 2 burnt black and half melted IDE cables .

I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1! This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

What gotchas should we watch out for when porting code from the Adobe SDK to the Acrobat SDK?

I have found some evidence that the preprocessor variable PLUGIN seems to prevent macros from includes from being defined. The NPROC and SPROC constructs seem to be involved (partners in crime, if you will).

ps: Please see my related thread "What is the difference between xxProcs.h and xxCalls.h?"

Here's a gotcha that I bumped into:
extern "C" HINSTANCE gHINSTANCE;
I found it in a successfully developed code on the Windows/Plugin side. It is something that I had never used on the APDFL side AND my Windows linker is complaining about several gXXXX missing functions.
IOW: It sounds like the above statement is the solution to my linking problems. Somehow the APDFL seems to take care of the C vs. C++ details.

What to watch out for on craig'slist

Found a 32g wi fi for $230 on craig'slist. When something is to good to be true it usually is. Is there something I should watch out for.
Thanks

What to look out for is "the ad is on CL". :>
I have done a couple deals thru CL. A few seemed like scams, a couple I know were and the ones
that did go mostly well, the people said they would pay what I was asking then when we met, all tried
to get me to go lower. I guess they think that when your there and they are waving $, you will sell
instead of leaving and trying again.

What is the recommended upgrade for OSX 10.6.8 and what should I watch out for with the upgrade?

I would like to know whether there is a recommended upgrade for OSX 10.6.8. Is it Mountain Lion? Is there anything I should watch out for in case I do the upgrade? My computer is not working optimally and now my external drive (My Passport, 1TB) is not recognized by my computer. Thanks!

You should try to get your computer working before you upgrade.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.

Planning on Buying Used 2008 Black Macbook on Craiglist, what should I watch out for?

I have one in mind already and hte owner say that the battery is shot. but i have a 2008 macbook battery at home that I will replace that with. What are some things that i can do to test the computer to make sure everyhting else is in working order. What are some things to look out for?

DO NOT buy it unless it comes with the origional 2 discs that shipped with it. Ask to use disc 2 to run the Apple Hardware Test before you purchase it. Make sure EVERYTHING works. Bring a cd/dvd with you to test the optical drive. Open TextEdit or any word processing program they have on it and test EVERY key. Also, check
mac2sell.net to make sure they are asking a reasonable price. Overall, use common sense.

Buying a used iMac G5, tips and things to look out for?

What tips could you guys give me on when looking for a used iMac G5? I like the 20" models specifically and it seems the models are all over 1.6GHz so the speeds are fine.
I currently own a G4 1.67 PowerBook and did a bit of reading up on that before I bought it, seeing what things to look out for what things turned faulty after a while and such. Such as the logic board and the 1 RAM slot going faulty on a few models, recalled batteries, which helped a lot in buying a used one.
I'm looking for a new desktop but can't afford to fork out over 1 grand for the new iMac's and the speed of my PowerBook is enough for my usual browsing and processing and few photos. So please don't bother telling me to buy a new one cos new is always best, I don't mind spending reasonably less and having a decent machine still - 1.67 15" PowerBook has proved well :P

Don't buy a new intel. buy a refurbished one from Apple. The PPC architecture is on its way out, few programs are being written for it, and most new applications are only for intel. I realize that even a refurb might cost a bit more than you planned to spend, but it will be worth it down the road.
Look in the [Apple Store|http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=MTE3NjY], the choice changes daily, so just keep you eye open for the one you want and snap it up. And get Apple Care as well.
Let us know what you ended up with please,

I want to create a new customized screen layout for responsive HTML5 output. I don't want to use the ones present in the gallery. What are the steps to do so?

I don't wish to use the ones already present in the gallery. They do not meet my requirements. Therefore, I want to create/design my own screen layout for the responsive HTML5 output. Please let me know the steps to do so. How to create a SLZ file, what is the code that I need to write. What are the components that I need to create to have a complete screen layout to be used in a responsive HTML5 output.

That would require inline formatting and I doubt that is an option.
If I am following you, the header area is full width of the screen so I cannot see how it can be broader, Perhaps you mean deeper? A screenshot might help here. The change would be made in the layout.css file.
That would be a change in the layout.css.
I suspect that too is controlled by the layout.css.
To make the changes you would have to go into the layout.css and modify that. As you will see, it is a very complex CSS and that is why I said creating you own layout is not easy. Hopefully when Willam is available again, he may be able to give you some more specific information.
I think Willam will confirm that if you cannot read the existing CSS to make those changes, then creating your own skin would be beyond your capabilities. Please do not take any offence there, I am simply emphasising how complex a task it is to create a skin from scratch. It's not one I would take on.
