Diff between iMessages and iChat?

Is there a difference between iMessages and iChat? If so, what is it? I'm thinking about upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Also, I don't have to buy Lion to buy Mountain Lion, right? Someone told me that...
Thanks!

That is correct. It is not necessary to install Lion to get to Mountain Lion. In fact Lion is no longer available unless you call Apple and request a special download key for it.
iMessages is for iOS and iDevices.
For OS X it is called Messages. It is basically iChat but it uses the iMessages protocol instead.

Communicating between iMessage and iChat with Google accounts?

I am using iMessages and my wife is using iChat. She signed into iChat using her Google account. When I try to message her, it says that her account is not registered with iMessages. Why can't I send her a message?

HI,
iChat can use AIM accounts, Jabber or Yahoo in iChat 6 as well as the Bonjour option.
You cannot chat Jabber to AIM or Yahoo to Jabber or even Bonjour to any of the others.
It is AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber.
In Messages as well as AIM, Bonjour, Jabber and Yahoo you have the ability to run an iMessages Account
The iMessages account can send Text messages only to Apple IDs and iPhone Numbers on Apple iOS devices and those using an iMessage Account in Messages.
A GoogleMail (GoogleTalk) ID will not be an iMessages account is used in iChat.
That is not to say the Google Mail ID is not an Apple ID and may be used as such on an iPhone or iPad.
You cannot iMessages any of the other services.
You need to get an Google Mail ID, Enable Talk on the Google Settings and then enter it as an Account in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Click the + icon lower left and Change the top items drop down to GoogleTalk.

Communicating between iMessages and iChat?

I am running OS X 10.5.8 on an older MacBook Pro while my daughter is running Mountain Lion on a new MacBook Pro with Retina display. I am wondering if it is possible for me to video chat between our two machines? In the past I used iChat to set up video/audio/text chats with folks running similar systems, but given that iChat is now replaced by iMessages, I'm wondering if it's possible for us to still video chat other than using Skype. My older system has neither Facetime nor iMessages, so is there an all Apple solution? I've thought about just updating to Mountain Lion, but I am pretty sure the hardware on my system can't run it. Ideas welcome.

HI,
In Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts you should list the iMessages one (You have to make this to launch the app the first time) the Bonjour One (everyone gets Bonjour and it may or may not be Enabled depending on how you upgraded.
You may also have AIM (or AIM valid IDs such as certain Apple IDs) or Jabber IDs (which may include Google and Facebook).
It you had them in Lion they may be there but not Enabled.
Once added or Enabled then then will show under the Buddies item in the window menu (they can be separated out with the setting in the General Section of the Preferences)
A Bonjour Account (and therefore Buddy list uses the Names for the Address Book (Contacts) on each computer and "broadcasts" that to the other Mac.
It is only LAN based (Other computers at home or at work on the same LAN)

How do I deactivate imessage and ichat on a dead phone/ Recently switched to samsung

Howdo I deactivate Imessage and Ichat on a dead 4s? Recently waithced to Samsing and not getting messages from iphone contacts

Hi,
In theory an iPhone that appears to the Server as Off Line will be "de-registered" from the server.
Twice at various iOS Upgrades I have had the iPhone Number become greyed out leaving only the Apple ID is use (Despite the fact th item is greyed out and unchangeable by the user.
This should mean that the iPhone should present as not in service and the sender should "Switch" to sending SMS.
However as the Mac version may still have the iPhone number in it's Send and Receive lists then the iPhone may appear to be still logged in.
You can "disable" the iPhone number in the iMessages account (Messages > Preferences > Accounts).
Unticking the Receive At will also remove it form the Start Conversation From drop down.
It can be removed by deleting the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist in Mavericks and above as this holds the current Apple ID and any "Aliases" in use. You will need to re-enter your Apple ID in Messages on the Mac if you do this.
Ultimately contacting Apple Support is the simplest and best way although some of the above may be needed to "tidy up" afterwards.

I understand the difference between imessage and SMS but when I text a friend who always got iMessages in the past, everything I send her is SMS (green) even if we both have wifi. She has an iphone.

I understand the difference between imessage and SMS but when I text a friend who used to receive imessages (blue), my phone shows I'm sending her SMS (green) messages. No longer are they blue. She has an iphone and this happens when we are both connected to wifi. We have both recently updated to ios7. Thanks!

Turn off iMessage

Types of DTP , Diff between Standard and Error DTP

Hi experts,
What is DTP , are the Types of DTP , Diff between Standard and Error DTP , how it works in BI 7.0.
I will assign points for your valuable answers.

Hello ,
Data transfer process (DTP) to transfer data within BI from one persistent object to another object, in accordance with certain transformations and filters. In this respect, it replaces the data mart interface and the InfoPackage. As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, the InfoPackage only loads data to the entry layer of BI (PSA).
The data transfer process makes the transfer processes in the data warehousing layer more transparent. Optimized parallel processing improves the performance of the transfer process (the data transfer process determines the processing mode). You can use the data transfer process to separate delta processes for different targets and you can use filter options between the persistent objects on various levels. For example, you can use filters between a DataStore object and an InfoCube.
Data transfer processes are used for standard data transfer, for real-time data acquisition, and for accessing data directly.
1.Benefit: Data Distributionwithin BI Capabilities (from PSA or InfoProviders to InfoProviders)
2.Improved transparency of staging processes across data warehouselayers (PSA, DWH layer, ODS layer, Architected Data Marts)
3.Improved performance and high scalability
4.Separation of delta mechanism for different data targets: delta capability is controlledby the DTP
5.Enhanced filtering in dataflow
6.Repair modus based on temporary buffers (buffers keep complete set of data)
See these docs for more info

Whats the diff between express and pro??

Just wondering what the main diff between the two are. I've used pro at school, but cant afford to get it at home. Will i still be able to use the same audio instruments like the same synths and plug ins??? Also, would i be able to run the program on a mac mini (top of the line)?

Matt Mac 63, "Whats the diff between express and pro??" #5, 10:33pm Oct 18, 2005 CDT
All I was saying is that if a person can afford to get Pro, they definitely should. The difference in features adds up to at least the difference in price, if not very much more.
Having said that, Express is good value compared to most other DAW software at that pricepoint, but it is only intended as a 'Lite' version.
Some examples, off the top of my head, of differences not made really clear in the comparison list.
Input Objects:
In Pro you can use Input Objects to monitor incoming signal without rec-enabling a track. That doesn't sound much, on the face of it, but what it means is you can use external FX units (hardware) as inserts in tracks (or busses) just like plugins, and bounce them with the mix. it also means you acn monitor what you are playing into Logic Pro with plugin FX applied, but record dry so you can hear your guitar with the reverb, or whatever, but still have the recorded dry signal so you can change the FX settings later.
Pro has some very handy environment objects. The main one being the Trabsformer object. But also another extremely useful object is TouchTracks.
If you've ever played with Ableton Live you would have noticed you can triger clips with the keyboard in all different ways (loop, gate loop, one shot etc.) Well TouchTracks does that with MIDI regions.(I have a feeling that feature in Live was modeled after Logic's TouchTracks' as it is incredibly similar.)
They are only a few examples of a whole range of differences. If all the differences were itemized in the 'comparison chart' it would be about 3 pages long.
All I am saying is, don't take the comparison chart as the definitive list of differences.
yes, Express is a good basic tool and you can do a lot with it, with some imagination.
The SOS author's claim that:
you're paying less than a third of the price of Logic Pro and getting over 90 percent of the functionality."
is not true in totality.
It may be true to someone who has never dabbled in audio software before, because it takes literally years to become fully conversant with every function in Logic Pro, and no-one uses absolutely everything.
But for serious users, who have big demands, in my opinion, Express is less than 30% of Pro's functionality.

what is diff between billing and invoice?
From the help for cash order, it says that the invoice will print immediately after order created, the billing will be done seperately by transaction after delivery. Can anyone explain more detail.
=================
based on ur query.. Billing and Invoice are one and the same.. the difference is that in general business terminology Billing means the process of crediting the customer to the certain sum of money either by cash or credit, for the goods or services purchased by him... this process consists of many other documents like credit note, debit note, invoice, etc.
Invoice is the Printed format of the Bill ie, the sum of amount the customer is credited is made available in the printiable format....
dont get confused by the Billing and Invoice words.. in simple way invoice is one of the documents generated during the billing process.. Billing is a process which consists of various different documents which are generated depending on the business requirements...
Reward if USeful
Thanx & regards.

Diff Between Interfaces and API

Hi to all.
Can anybody tell me , What is the basic diff between API and Interfaces ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Lalit,
Both place validation will happen. In Interface table as well as in API.
The difference you can say..for interface you have to load the data in and invoke the import program by which it will populate data in oracle apps base table. So you have to write some DML.
While in API you can simply use PLSQL record type and using that invoke API by which it will populate record in oracle apps base table.
Keep in mind both ways the validation happens. It is just the approach and some part is just for legacy data conversion.

Diff between cusztmizing and workbench request

could u please let me know what is diff between workbench and custmizing req ?
Regards

Hello,
customizing req vs workbench request
Check this info.
Workbench Requests
When you change a Repository object of the ABAP Workbench, a query window appears in which you need to specify a Workbench request. You can only save the changes if you have assigned the object to a change request.
Workbench requests and the tasks assigned to them are normally used to record changes to Repository objects and Customizing for all clients. However, you can also include client-specific Customizing.
Whether the changes to Repository objects are transported depends on whether a transport route is defined from the current SAP System for the package of these objects. From the system settings, the system automatically determines whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported.
Customizing requests
Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).
Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.
Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport Control) are either all transportable or all local, depending on the system setting. The system uses the standard transport layer to determine automatically whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported. However, you can change this manually.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.
Regards,
Jorge Diogo

Diff. between currency and unit fields

Hi All,
What is the diff. between 0DOC_CURRCY and 0CURRENCY, OUNIT and 0BASE_UOM? In which scenarios do we use each of them?
I have a flat file which contains some values for sales and quantity but does not have any units. So I have to upload them using constant currency and unit. now, I have to create my own keyfigures for the sales and quantity. What currency and unit fields should I use i.e 0CURRENCY or 0DOC_CURRCY and OUNIT or 0BASE_UOM?
Thanks a lot,
James.

hi James,
0doc_currency, 0currency share the same master data->0currency, 0unit, 0base_uom share the same master data->0unit, the 'basic' infoobject is 0currency and 0unit, all currency and unit will have reference to these infoobjects.
currency is used for keyfigures amount, with currency e.g usd, gbp, etc.
unit for keyfigures quantity, with unit like KG, CM etc.
currency tables are TCUR* and unit table T006*
you can use any of these infoobject currency or unit in your keyfigure (RSD2) or fix value like USD etc, normaly 0doc_currcy used for document currency; 0loc_currcy for local currency, you can create your own infoobject currency/unit with RSD3.
hope this helps.
