Energy settings in OSX and their effect on temperature.

After a while the other threads kind of turn into a cluster**ck, so I thought I'd bring up this idea in a new thread.
There have been a couple of reports here and there about cooler performance of the MBP under "best performance" rather than normal or better energy savings. Before the temperature script came out there wasn't a whole lot to back this up, but I gave it a shot today and "better performance" indeed gives (me at least) lower temperatures.
I ran yes> /dev/null for a while when the MBP was set to better energy savings, and the temperature skyrocketed to 88-90. I listened closely to the vents behind the MBP and the fans did not come on at all. This happened for a while until I stopped it.
I quit the two shells and then switched the settings to "better performance" and tried it again. My temperatures stayed between 79-81 the whole time, and the fans kicked on to boot. They didn't turn on in the turbo-mode hurricane sort of way (like I can get them to while playing a game), but they came on slightly. If you pick up the MBP and listen to the rear vents you can hear them both give off the low hum of the fans on both sides.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what is happening, but I think in the other modes the fans will not kick on until absolutely necessary in order to save energy/battery life. The consequence of that is a freakin hot MBP.
I'd like to hear other people's experience with this if they've given it a shot.

Hi Cruzmisi,
Your theory could not be far from true. I have what I consider a cool MBP and I use it always in "Better Performance". Also, I never run any "whine widget" since the noise doesn't bother me.
Regards.

Returns to vendor and their effect on on-time delivery calculation

Hi,
we're on ECC 6,0 and using vendor evaluation. We are using automatic calculation of on-time delivery. I have a question about how return deliveries to vendor affect the calculation of on-time delivery points. SAP documentation says "The system considers only reversals affecting goods receipts against purchase orders and scheduling agreements into stores and the release of GR blocked stock into stores. In the standard system, these are the movement types 102 and 106." Return deliveries to vendor are made with movement type 122 and based on the above mentioned SAP text, only movement types 102 and 106 are considered in cancellation of scores. However, based on my testing, movement type 122 effects on-time delivery scores with the folllowing formula:
The system calculates the new overall score (OS) as follows:
Old OS - (score from last GR X smoothing factor) / 1 - smoothing factor = New OS
Does somebody have more information about how movement type 122 is considered in vendor evaluation?
Br,
Tapio
Edited by: Tapio Tuomela on Aug 25, 2009 1:45 PM

Hi Tapio,
what about 102 , it will simply deduct the score of it or it has different set of formulae
also i came to know that it will consider only closed PO's for its evaluation
Please let me know some details on the same

How does fast user switching know which energy settings to use?

When using fast user switching and keeping 2 accounts logged in, which accounts' energy settings take priority (assuming their settings don't match)? For example, let's say I set my account's display to sleep after 15 minutes and my wife sets hers for 30 minutes. If we both keep our accounts logged in and then leave the Mac on the login screen, who wins?
The reason I ask is because my display won't stay asleep. Unlike my example above, I've made sure both accounts have identical energy settings (sleep the display after 15 minutes & the iMac itself is set to 'never sleep'). I can get it to sleep (usually by pressing control-shift-eject), but it will not stay asleep. I don't think any applications are causing this (I've shut down all apps to test - only Time Machine is scheduled to run automatically). I'm starting to wonder if fast user switching could be the cause? I usually keep both accounts logged in at all times and return to the login screen before heading to bed. I then force the display to sleep with control-shift-eject, but several hours later I wake up to a bright room because the display has turned on again. I haven't tried turning off fast user switching yet, but I can see where that might confuse the OS?
Oh, I've also disabled waking on bluetooth activity just in case my wireless mighty mouse was losing its connection & waking the display upon reconnection - no luck.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated - it's driving me nuts, especially since I can't just turn off the iMac display itself without powering down the entire system.

Energy Saver settings are system-wide and not specific to the user. If one user changes the settings, it's changed for everyone. Screensaver settings are user-specific.
That said, the reason that the system wakes by itself can be one of several things: the system is set to wake up (you can set this under energy saver) by preferences or some application/service, the system receives a wake-up message from something on the network (you can configure this under Security, I believe, or Network, I don't recall), or you have "chatter" related to a device plugged into your computer.
"chatter" is when a USB device or FireWire device sends a signal to the computer it's connected to. Normally, peripherals are quiet if not actively in use, but some things (cheap USB hubs, certain mice, etc) will spuriously send a signal to the connected computer and cause it to wake.

List of users and their decimal notation settings in SAP system

Hi all, i'm looking to get my hands on a list of all users in our SAP system and their respective decimal notation settings? I know that these can be mass changed using SU10 however I am unable to determine how to view a list of users and their settings.
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
You can find many useful reports, in SUIM transaction to see user details, but not decimal notation field. I don't know a report to show decimal notations, but as a workaround, in order to see the decimal notation, you can check "USR01-DCPFM" by using "SE16".

I have tried everything possible. tried resetting my network settings and even the whole phone but my phone wouldn't connect to my wifi at home but will connect to other wifi's when i'm out. my sisters both have the same iphone and theirs work perfectly.

My iPhone wouldn't connect to my wifi at home but connects to others when i go out. i have tried resetting my whole phone and network settings but still wouldn't work. Everyone in my house has an iPhone and theirs work perfectly. I need help. it randomly started working yesterday after not connecting for 4 days and suddenly it stopped working again today

The two things to try first are renewing your network lease, forgetting the network and if that doesn't work to reset all networks. You might have tried one of these but I'll repeat the steps just to make sure.
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Renew Lease
If that doesn't work then
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
If that doesn't work
Settings > General > Networks > Reset All Networks > then reset your iPhone by
Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
I hope one of these will help.

Battery And Energy Settings

From what I am reading here a 99% charge is normal after charging fully overnight? I've had my system for over two weeks and only let it once drain completely. Sometimes I fully charge it when it's between 6-20%. In the begining it would show a complete 100% charge. Can anyone confirm?
Also, I noticed that anytime after I reboot my system, the lock icon on the Energy settings is open even though I locked it before the shut down. I do have my energy settings set for custom, would that cause that to happen?

Hi MrBlonde,
"When I booted it up that is when it said 99%. Still normal? "
This depends on your definition of normal.
With OS 10.4 came the charger/battery issues. One of the causes for failures that I had noticed (G4s, MBs and MBPs) and reported quite frequently (numerous replacements) was that the battery would remain charging for hours or days while at 99% "Calculating Until Full" melting the chargers and overcharging the battery. The only thing that would prevent this was to open and close Energy Saver (no changes) or unplug and re-plug to get it to acknowledge it was fully charged. It appears that the battery update has made it so the charger switches to power-mode when it is at 99% for a few minutes.
My opinion is that what you are experiencing is now "normal", however, not correct.

OSX and Windows Vista / 7 master browsers

Hi all.
I have spent a good deal of time troubleshooting this issue with my OSX machines being unable to browse to my windows machines through the network window of Finder. I currently have 2 Macbooks running 10.5.8 and an iMac running 10.4.11 that all have the same issue (unless I configure OSX to act as a master browser). On the windows side I have 2 XP machines, 1 Vista and 1 Windows 7 RC1. I have configured both Leopard systems to be on the same Windows workground, I am not aware of how to set this on tiger but it doesn't seem to make a difference anyhow.
I have found that the macs can only browse to my windows machines if one of my XP systems is the master browser. If I allow either my 7 or Vista systems to be the master browser my macs cannot browse my windows workgroup at all, and I get mixed results trying to connect by using "Connect to server" and putting in the windows name, but it always works by IP address. To be sure of what I found I disabled the master browser service on all of my windows machines and then left one enabled at a time until I found that my macs can browse fine with XP as the master browser.
I also used the "nbtstat -a <computer name>" command to verify which PC was my master browser from a windows command prompt. Also on my macs I used the command "nmblookup -M -- -," command to confirm my XP machine was the master browser.
I did a little searching on the net and found one site where the person reported similar results:
http://robmulally.blogspot.com/2009/03/macbook-master-browser-and-my-mate.html
I know that it is also possible for one of my macs to act as a master browser by configuring samba, but I would prefer to use my windows systems as I leave them running most of the time, where as I mainly use my one macbook and it is only on when I use it. I would much rather know the answer why and possibly how to fix it rather than just doing a work around.
Does anyone know what the issue is with OSX not being able to utilize a Windows Vista or 7 master browser? Theres not a whole lot of settings to play with on the windows side, the service is either on or off so I wasn't sure what else to try. I am going to be replacing XP on my systems as soon as the full release of Win 7 is out so I would like to resolve this before then.
If anyone has ideas I would really appreciate it.
Thanks all,
Greg

Well I have found a work around, although it is not a perfect solution, it gets the job done and it definitely works, and should work for anyone else who tries it. If anyone does happen to try it I would definitely be interested in your results. Also if anyone knows a lot more about what changed in Vista / 7 / server 2008 where they no longer respond to OSX 'smbserver' requests (explained more below) or a possible 'correct' was to resolve this I would be interested in knowing. I tested the work around by reversing the changes and repeating the steps on both my Vista and 7 systems and it worked in both cases.
I did several tests watching packet traffic with Wireshark on Vista and XP while each was the master browser. I don't know 100% why this works this way, and while I would like to share with you all the packet logs I saved, I do not know of an easy way to strip my computer name info and would prefer not to post this on the internet.
I found that OSX requests a NBSS (NetBIOS Session Service) session by a couple of different 'names' - the IP address, the network class - 192 in this case, and by something called *SMBSERVER. In the case of Windows XP it responds with a 'Positive session response' only when OSX sends the request to *SMBSERVER. In the case of Vista it returns a 'Negative session response, called name not present' to all three recipient names that OSX tries. On XP once the NBSS session is established you then see communication on the LANMAN and SMB protocols.
I found that there is a registry setting to add a NetBIOS alias that you can add to your Vista or Win7 registry under HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters called OptionalNames - make it a string or multistring, once created open it up and put in the IP address of your master browser computer (note that you must have a static IP configured on that system because if it ever changes this work around will stop working).
After you have made the change close out of the registry and go to Start and type Services.msc in the quicksearch bar. In Services scroll down to the 'Server' service and restart it, it will ask to restart Computer Browser and Homegroup Listener (the HG Listener will only be on Win 7), just say Yes. Now you will need to refresh your network adapter on OSX, do this by unplugging and plugging back in the network cable or by disconnecting from your wireless access point and then reconnecting. After a few minutes you should see your windows machines start to show up in Finder on your Mac, it could take as long as thirty minutes for them to show up as the Master Browser builds its cache and then distributes it to other computers. The one thing that is 'bad' about this work around is that you will also see the IP address of your Windows Master Browser in your network list of Finder, this is because of the alias that was created in the registry.
Also note that if you have multiple windows systems on your network you will need to do this work around on EACH computer that you want to be a potential master browser, as well you will need to Stop and Disable the Computer Browser service on any machines you do not want acting as a master browser. Keep in mind to be careful whenever you are editing your registry, always do a full backup of the registry before making changes.
Some other things which may be important (but I did not test yet) -
1. I have my Mac's set on a 'custom' network type - go to System Preferences | Network and hit the drop down at the top called 'Locations' and go to 'edit locations' and create a new one.
2. Select your network adapter from the left and go to Advanced | WINS and type in the name of your windows workgroup. If you use both hardwire and wireless ethernet be sure to repeat this step for both adapters
3. On my Windows Vista machine I have already changed a network security setting which may prevent this from working. By default Vista will force NTLMv2 communication which causes issues trying to connect to apple computers from a windows machine. Although this should only be an issue when connecting to an OSX system FROM Vista, I did observe in doing packet tracing that an NTLMv1 session was negotiated so this may be helpful for some folks (it should not stop the computer list from displaying but may stop you from connecting to computers). Open up 'gpedit.msc' by going to Start and typing it in the quick search bar. Drill down from Local Security Policy | Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options and then look for the setting 'Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level' - open it up and change the drop down to 'Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated' and click Apply. Note that in Win7 this setting is disabled by default.
4. I also had issues restarting the Server service on my Windows 7 machine, sometimes it would fail to restart or report that one service could not be stopped (I didn't record the exact error message). If you get this just restart the system and it will easily take care of the issue.
5. You may also want to make your Master Browser system the 'preferred' MB on your network to do this go in the Registry to HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters, open the MaintainServerList string and change the value data to Yes. Then create a new string named 'IsDomainMaster' open it and enter Yes for value data. This will not force the system to always be the the MB, but will make it much more likely if any other windows machines connect to your network in the future.
6. If you have a WINS server it makes life 100 times easier, just set the WINS server addy on your network preferences on your mac, or have it pushed down through DHCP and life is good, your computers will display in Finders Network pane. But who wants to have a WinNT/2000/2003 server running in their house?
As I said before, there is probably a better way to get this working but I have not found it yet. For now I am satisfied as it is, but I may try doing more searching on this just out of curiosity. I also hope that Apple and/or Microsoft will resolve this issue as this is a very annoying pain point for users and it doesn't help anyone by not having it work, it shouldn't take all the above steps just to be able to click on my Windows machines from a list on OSX and access shares. I know the typical answer from both companies would be "well it is because the other company does not support this or that feature", if thats the case, fix it. Ok, not trying to rant to much, I do hope that some of the developers of either product actually read this and see this as a necessary thing to resolve.
I hope that this helps someone out there looking to resolve this issue as well.

How to copy the positions and their relationships of one org.unit to other

f there about 20 organization units among which 6 org.units have same positions and same relationships ,i know that we can create one org.units and their relationships among 6 similar org.units and then copy the same position and relationships to other 5 org.units as well instead of individually creating positions and assigning relationships to them which results in wasting a quality time.but i dont know how to copy it? so please help me by informing me in details how to copy the positions n their relationships to other org units.

Hi.
This may sound like a bit of a pain in the *** but why not save the channel strip settings into your own folder then that way you can open them up in other songs and you have some channel strips to try out when you cant find anything else to fit. Plus its fun to open up lots of different audio onto the tracks and see what the effects sound like, Brian Eno style.....
Hope this helps

Nvidia settings not saves and applied on setup

I have this problem using nvidia settings for the nvidia driver 295.33-1. I am trying to tweak gamma levels and varius otehr settings using nvidia control panel. I save the settings in .nvidia-settings-rc in my home folder, but when I log out the settings are restored to their defaults.
I the following bash script to load the nvidia settings.
#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings --load-config-only
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2
However the only way now to apply my selected settings is to open nvidia control center every time I log in.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Run as root?? That's obviously not what's intended - it's saved in $HOME.
How can you expect the setting to take effect, when it's not even present? I see no "pix"-related line in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc . You could ask for it to be included, in the nvidia forum.
Running "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" changes the settings for that session only, that's correct. What's the problem with that?

EdAdding compression (and other effects) to regions only) want different ty

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to Logic and I'm trying to find out how to add compression to specific regions in a track. I recorded a live band and I recorded and I want different types of compression (and other effects like eq and even panning) for different parts of the song. For example. I have a guitar track that I recorded , I split the track up from one region into several regions corresponding to the sections of the song. Now I want to add different effects to these different regions. Can I do this in one track or do I need to split all these regions up into their own tracks. I can only see how to add effects at the track level. I can only edit certain things (like Normalization) in the sample editor.
Thanks in advance.
--Mike

Different ways of doing this:
*If you want to add effects for the different regions on the same track you will have to automize the compressor/Eq/panning settings
*You can setup different tracks with different Fx settings and move the regions to those new tracks - this way you don't have to automize the different parameters
*If you want to destructively edit the regions you can either do that in Soundtrack Pro (select the region and hit shift+w to open it in SP - add you fx in there - save the file and it will be updated in Logic)
or
*rerecord the regions with the fx through a Bus directly into Logic - route the region track to a Bus and select that Bus as an Input for a new Audio track
or
*bounce/reimport the region+fx

Bass and Treble Effect Problem

I have an audio element that is 3m 31s duration, a complete song. When I apply the Bass and Treble effect to it, it will only playback and/or render a few seconds of the entire song. The composition is set to 3:31:00 as it should be. Why is this happening? The entire song plays back as footage, just not in the composition once I've applied the effect. If I turn off the effect, the entire song will play back in the comp. AE Help is scanty on that effect.

I never use audio effects in AE, but it's posssible the effect is requiring a certain buffer size and thus may not be able to run properly in the environment you have (not enough RAM, odd sampling rate, certain audio hardware settings). I can't provide a solution in AE, but certainly even the most rudimentary wave file editor will provide the same functionality with much better performance and better control. So if you have e.g. Nero, use their editor. Otherwise download the free Audacity and tweak your file. Beyond that there's a ton of options, including Soundbooth or Soundforge LE, all of which have triela versions for your testing pleasure.

DHCP, OSX and Dlink Router doesn't get anywhere

I'm a Mac newbie. I have a cable modem, a Dlink 713p wireless router. I'm running OSX 10.3 on an old iMac.
ACT 1: I have a few PC's running wireless to this router without a problem but, when I connect my cat5 cable to the iMac via built-in ethernet port, I get no connection to the router with DHCP (or manual setup for that matter.) The corresponding activity light for the connection on the router blink at a constant 1 sec on and 1 sec off rate.
Here's what Dlink say on their tech support page about hooking up a Mac to this router:
How do I configure my Mac to work with the D-Link gateways like the DI-704, DI-707, DI-713 and DI-713P?
Use the following settings in the TCP/IP control panel.
Step 1 Go to the Apple Menu>Control Panels>TCP/IP.
Step 2 From the Ethernet drop-down menu at the top of the control panel select Built-in if you have a built-in network card or Other if you have installed a network card in your computer.
Step 3
Configure : Using DHCP Server
IP address : 192.168.0.xxx
Router address : 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
* If you are not getting an IP address from the residential gateway, you can configure the gateway manually.
Connect Via :Ethernet-built-in
Configure : Manually
* You will now be in a screen that will allow you to enter in the settings manually.
IP address: 192.168.0.12
Router address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Name server : 192.168.0.1.
I followed this and I still got nothing.
ACT 2: I have a Linksys USB100m, a USB ethernet adapter. I've read that some people have had this working without any problems with OSX and running it without specific drivers. Yeah, that's some people and it doesn't include me.
The system info show that the Linksys adapter is found but there is no way to configure it for the network (choices are built-in ethernet or built-in modem.) When I connect this to the router I get a constant blinking activity light.
What am I doing wrong???
imac indigo, 400, 640mb ram, 30gb Mac OS X (10.3)

I'm not sure if this applies to your early iMac but there is a known issue with the one I have, originally a 266mHz tray loader. Its ethernet port works but fails to autonegotiate properly with some routers. IE it never gets past deciding to to run at 10 or 100 speed. I tore my hair out for a while with this issue since I knew my iMac worked just fine on a crossover cable with an older Mac that only ran at 10 speed. That was actually the key. The solution was to put a cheap used 10 speed only switch between the iMac and the D-link router. That way the iMac did not hang at trying to negotiate speed since there was only one option. Now it all work just fine.
PS. does anyone know if you can get a simple switch or hub that can be set to only do 100 speed and not offer 10 as an option? That would allow my iMac to talk faster on our local network.
