Exposé and Spaces need three tries to activate... ?

I hope this is in the right area. I didn't see a forum for Exposé and Spaces problems.
Every time I start my computer up, and then go to use Spaces, or show my desktop, it takes three clicks or button presses to get the feature to activate. It doesn't matter how long I wait after booting, or how long I wait between button presses (I think). It's really weird, but I can't really find anything wrong. After I get it going the first time, it keeps working.
Does anyone know what this is?

I'd be really appreciative if someone could give me some input on what they think this is.

Log in to your MyVerizon (verizonwireless.com) and on the Overview page scroll down to I WANT TO... in the third column of boxes, under DEVICE, the 3rd one down is "Activate or Switch Device". Click on that and follow the instructions. If there is an issue, it will instruct you to call customer service or you will be connected to customer service automatically. Let us know if this works...

Exposé and Spaces

Hello I have this little problem I want to solve because it´s boring.
When you are dealing with Exposé you just need to click on the shortcut, then the windows will move aside, then you just need to put your mouse ( without clicking ) and the chosen window will be brought to the front.
On Spaces to chose the Space you want you need to click on the mouse to chose the space you want. Is it possible to code this to be like Exposé ( without clicking) ?
thanks for your time

My daughters IPod was stolen and I need help trying to locate it?

And I dont know how to do this and really need help

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I accidentally deleted important text messages between me and a friend I really need these back and i need help trying to find a way i haven't synced my iPhone to the computer since 2013

I need these deleted text messages, they are very important. I have been up all night trying to recover these lost text messages but no matter how many times I try I can't get them. I haven't synced my device to itunes since sometime in 2013 and my icloud isn't working and doesn't say that it backs up text messaging. I'm out of ways to get my deleted text message. It's very important that i get it back. It can stop a lot of problems that I am having.

If you have not made a backup of the device while the text messages were on the device, then there is nothing that you can do. If you have created a backup of the device with the messages on there, then you can restore to that backup. The iCloud backup does backup SMS, so if you did make one, then they would be there. Otherwise, you are out of luck.

Possible Simultaneous Corruption in Dock, Exposé and Spaces?

I upgraded to 10.5 a couple of weeks ago, and it was running smoothly, save for some Time Machine issues, until yesterday morning. I woke my computer up and exposé would no longer work--none of my F quick keys were functional, I couldn't Tab+~ to cycle through applications, nothing. Spaces also shut down (or more correctly, the menu bar icon said that I had not yet enabled Spaces even though I had been using it the entire time I've had Leopard), but the Dock was acting even stranger.
I normally keep my Dock at the bottom of the screen and hidden, but since yesterday I can neither hide nor show it at will. I can't change the side it's on, and now it randomly shows itself (it's come up at least 3 times since I've been writing this), but either disappears when I try to click on it, or seems frozen for a second and then vanishes. I've been able to launch one application--Safari--one time from the Dock in two days. I can't make changes to the Dock, or Spaces or Exposé, for that matter, through System Preferences.
I've deleted the Dock preferences several times, run disk utilities several times, started in Safe mode, turned off all my peripherals, reinstalled my Waccom driver (out of pure desperation) and done a clean reinstall of Leopard, but so far nothing has worked. Disk utilities says everything is fine, and though I've run into the same problems repairing my permissions that others here have found--the LONG run time, the barber pole without progress, the weird messages--it seemed to have worked okay.
I can manually launch programs from the Applications folder, and they seem to be working pretty well when they are launched. The only thing that I've noticed that could be out of the ordinary, though I don't know, is that when I delete the Dock preferences--both com.apple.dock.db, and com.apple.dock.plist--another file, com.apple.dock.db-journal, will flash every so often, though not necessarily when the dock reappears.
(right this second half the dock peeked up, disappeared and then after a beat, appeared fully and disappeared again--in roughly the same amount of time it took me to write this sentence).
As you can probably guess, by now I'm desperate and completely out of ideas. Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks.

Can't find the edit button, so I'll add two things onto the list:
7. Terminal - sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
8. Reinstalling OS X
...and nothing has worked.
And for some reason, there is some screen tearing while scrolling... could this be a problem with core video/animation?

Just bought a new phone, and now I'm trying to activate it.

Hi,
Just got my new Blackberry in the mail, my old one is completely dead and I have all it's info backed up but not synced on my computer. Every time I call *228 I go through the activation process until it asks me for my password, which is when I try talking to CS. I get a busy signal and the call ends. So how do I activate my new phone/ put all my contacts on my new phone from the restore file I have for the old one?
Thanks

Do you not know the billing password? It's a 4 digit code that you set at some point when setting up accounts - it may be the last 4 of your SSN - you can try activating the phone online through your MyVerizon account.
Or you can call CS from a landline or other phone (800-922-0204) and see if they can activate it using the ESN inside the phone.
Once the phone is activated, you should be able to use your backups to get your new phone in working order.

I have my iPhone 5 and I have been trying to activate Facetime, but when I try to activate it, it says: Waiting for activation. I wait and then there's an error with the activation. How can I activate Facetime? I have put my cell number and my Apple ID

I'm from Mexico City. According a table, Mexico is available for Facetime calls. Thanks for replying!

My Firefox history has disappeared and I need help trying to restore it. Please help!

CCleaner, out of no where, decided to delete most of my Firefox history the last time I used it. There's a tiny part of my browser history that's still there, but most of it's gone. If someone can PLEASE help me, you have no idea how grateful I would be.

Firefox doesn't keep backup copies of the history like is done with the bookmarks, so if you didn't create such a backup yourself then you are probably out of luck.
I don't know if Windows keeps previous (shadow) copies of the places.sqlite file.

NULL and SPACE

Hello Gurus:
I have had to use BOTH 'null' and 'space' (ofcourse I tried 'initial' too...) when selecting data from PRPS table, otherwise all the required records were not fetched. I had to do this on two different occassions. The first is a SAP provided field and the other is customer's enhancement. I have cut-paste the two code blocks. Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance,
Sard.
***********(1)**************
select posid objnr func_area zzfunct from prps into
                corresponding fields of table it_wbs
                          where func_area is null or
                                func_area eq space.
************(2)**************
select prps-pspnr prps-posid prps-post1
   into (wa_test1-pspnr, wa_test1-posid, wa_test1-post1,
   from prps
where prps-posid in s_wbs and
        ...                 and
       ( prps-zzmlind is null or prps-zzmlind eq space ).
append wa_test1 to it_test1.
clear wa_test1.
endselect.

Hello Richard,
the Requirement to check for NULL corresponds to the definition of the database (field) within the DDIC. Check the flag initialize (it has also some documentation).
This flag is intended to be used if the definition of the db table is changed at SAP while the table already is used at customer side.
After deploying the corresponding patch or upgrade such a changed definition may result into the need to convert all entries. For tables with many entries this would result into inacceptable downtime. So such changes are done without the initialiazation/conversion of existing entries.
The tradeoff is the syntax you noticed.
Kind regards
Klaus

Error when trying to activate SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure

I have recently inherited a SharePoint environment. On one site collection (which has 786 sites and subsites), I am trying to activate the
SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature and am getting the below error:-
The field with Id {51d39414-03dc-4bd0-b777-d3e20cb350f7} defined in feature {aebc918d-b20f-4a11-a1db-9ed84d79c87e} was found in the current site collection or in a subsite.
I believe there are two site templates which when they are deactivated, the publishing feature will activate but then the site templates will not activate.
I have seen from other posts etc. that this is related to
Feature with Id {aebc918d-b20f-4a11-a1db-9ed84d79c87e} is "PublishingResources", a hidden feature
Field with Id {51d39414-03dc-4bd0-b777-d3e20cb350f7} is "PublishingStartDate". It's the first field defined in the feature PublishingResources
I found this thread which suggests using the -force to activate the feature - https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/af5d0943-a568-4426-89f3-b0691f8d3f87/error-activating-publishing-feature?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious which
I havent tried as yet as I need to copy it to a test environment so I don't break it and the DB is edging toward 200GB (another seperate issue).
I guess my questions are:-
I am migrating all of this content to SP 2013 in the near future - I am assuming it is best to fix this beforehand?
Would it be easiest to edit the site templates somehow - what would to do to the template to fix it?
Some direction would be great.

Hi Kelsnz,
I recommend to use the command below to check which sites have this field:
$site = Get-SPSite http://yoursitecollectionURL
write-host $site
$webs = Get-SPWeb -Site $site -Limit All
foreach ($web in $webs)
foreach ($field in $web.availablefields)
if ($field.id -eq [GUID]"51d39414-03dc-4bd0-b777-d3e20cb350f7")
write-host $web " = " $field " " $field.id
If there are any sites listed, you may need to re-create the site before you migrate the environment to SharePoint 2013.

Issue while trying to activate Data Source in BW

Hi,
One of my Master data process chain is failing in Activation step.
Error message - "No InfoProvider exists with name "COSTELMNT_0102_HIER".But this is a data source.Also it is present in R3 and when i am trying to activate it since in Data source its showing --"ACTIVE VERSION-does not exist" & .in SE38 while trying to activate using RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL its saying "THERE IS NO DATA SOURCE WITH THESE ATTRIBUTES"
Although its present in R3 side as well.
Please help.
Thanks
Nilesh Pathak

Hi,
Can you tell me which datasource is that?
If your RSA3 is not giving any records that means that here is no hierarchy defined in source system for that selection.
For example
if you are extracting the plant hierarchy from the source system and in BI infopacakge you selected "26" and extracted the data. If there are records available for 26 in the source system then it will bring.
In your case as you mentioned that there is no data in rsa3 for your selection, then there might be no data mainted in source system. I would recommend you to contanct your functional guys and ask them the hierarchy type in source
Ex: for customer hierarchy i think its "VDH2N" to check in source. But i am not sure what is your hierarchy datasource.
thanks
Srikanth
