Fixed Duration Tasks work hours not updating properly

I have a task of 2 days duration which is fixed duration; with 1 resource assigned when it is 30%, I add 2 more resources to it as even though duration is same work hours need to be increased. But I don't see any impact on work even when 2 resources
are added. M I missing something

Just check if the check box - Effort Driven is checked for that task, as in this case whatever are the hours in Work field that gets equally distributed between all resouces (in your case the newly added and existing resource). Uncheck that box
and then assign resources; this should fix your calculations for the expected hrs. adding to Work field.

Fixed duration tasks and time budget

I am fighting with MS Project 2013 and cant figure out how to do this task:
I am creating a schedule for a project. It is to be used as an estimate for planning purposes.
What I want to do is list a number of Fixed Duration tasks and assign the task a budget in hours (For example the task may span 2 weeks duration but the amount of budgeted work days may only be 4 days the work can be done anytime during the 2 week period).
I am guessing I can choose one of the 'built in' columns to capture the work budget for the task, but which one????
Then I want to assign some people with a percentage of their time/week to each task. (I know how to do this...)
Finally I want to add a column that will display, for each task, if the people I have assigned (with their respective % work) will be less than, equal to, or greater than the budgeted hours for that task. I don't know how to do this...any pointers???
Any help is really appreciated.
thanks

J --
On a Fixed Duration task, when you change the Duration, Microsoft Project ALWAYS recalculates the Work. This is the default behavior of the software, and you cannot change this behavior.
Oh, I thought it could be changed.....oh well....
My intention with the Work Difference column is: Given I have a task that is planned to span a number of weeks and the actual amount of work hrs is specified and less than the number of days in the task duration, I want to be able to show in the work difference
column the difference between the estimated work days for the task compared to the number and allocated percentage of time of resources assigned to that task.
For example: task duration is 2 weeks. actual work is 4 days. Two ppl are assigned to the task, each at 20% of their time. So, 2 ppl *(40 hrs*0.2) = 16 hrs of work, would be less than the actual work of 4days*8hr/day = 32 hrs.
In the duration column I'd see 4 days and looking at the work difference column I'd see 2.0 days, and I would know that I need to increases resources or add more time availability to the existing resources.
Why is this useful to me? In my world, (for project estimating purposes), people are assigned multiple projects so they split their time accordingly. When we are estimating another project, and consider resources for that project, we generally
get a percentage of their time. Often the smaller sub-tasks can be worked in parallel so people can work efficiently. If person X can only spend 20% of their time on a task, and the task requires more work, then we can bring another person on the
task to make up the difference for the budgeted work. I can look down the Work Difference column and immediately tell if we have enough effort on the project to accomplish the tasks and the entire project.
Thanks for your help!

Shockwave will not update properly

Hi. I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home premium, 64 bit system.I use IE and just installed Firefox, as well. I tried to update Shockwave so I could continue to play my UClick jigsaw puzzle game, and my computer says it installed successfully, but it will not work with my jigsaw puzzle. I have uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, but no change in response. When I try to open jigsaw puzzle, the Adobe Shockwave loading graphic appears, but nothing happens.
Help!

I understand the two sites are using different plugins/players. I'm not an idiot. However as Shockwave for Director is so old it's listed by Firefox as an unknown plugin and described as being a Netscape plugin ("Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.1.5.155"), I am merely suggesting that UClick might change to a more recent, robust plugin.

HT1923 Trouble with newest version of iTunes not updating properly

I tried updating to the newest version of iTunes because I received the Apple Software Update for it. It wouldn't install properly, so I manually installed the newest version. When I tried to open iTunes I received an error message: "APSDaemon.exe - System Error; MSVCR80.dll not found, try reinstalling the software". So I clicked okay and received an error message the iTunes was not installed properly, try reinstalling. Then I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but received the same error messages about 2/3 of the way through reinstalling. Now iTunes won't install at all. I went to the support page and got the instructions for removing and reinstalling iTunes on Windows 7, but I can't finish the removing steps because Apple Mobile Device Support will not uninstall at all. My husband is having the same issue on his computer. Is this a known issue with the new version of iTunes for windows? How do we fix it now? We really need iTunes on the computers to sync with our phones, iPod, and iPad. Any help would be appreciated...should I contact apple support directly?

Update - I was able to finally uninstall the Apple Mobile Device Support component and the rest of the components. I was not able to delete the common files/Apple folder when checking to make sure all the components were removed; however, I think that is because I have an Apple AirPort WiFi Device. Anyway, the newest version of iTunes did install on my computer after following these instructions. So I believe my issue is resolved. We will see...

We think 5.0.2 has fixed it! (InCopy Files Not Synchronizing Properly)

Last year there was a topic (now archived) titled 'InCopy Files Not Synchronizing Properly' which discussed a problem with InCopy breaking the VC link after editing the story.
5.02 update ID and IC seems to have fixed it. We have only done a quick test but would be grateful if others users involved in this topic would have a look and report back to this thread.
I don't seem to be able to post to an archived topic, but am keen to let others know, so I have started this new thread.
With hope
Alan Edwards

We've only produced one magazine since upgrading to 5.0.2, but I've noticed *significantly* fewer version control issues (2 versus about 20) since last issue. A dramatic improvement.
Now if they could only fix that darn text wrap bug.

E-mail not updating properly since IOS7

My wife installed the ios7 update on her i-phone 4s. Since then, incoming e-mail do not appear until you run the mail app.
She is on a wifi network here at home and that makes no difference.
Settings\cellular\mail is set to on.
Do not disturb is off.
Airplane mode is off.
Settings\Sounds\new mail is set to Sherwood Forest and the sound does play once you manually start the mail app and mail arrives.
Settings\Mail, Contacts, Calendars\Fetch New Data is set to Push
Settings\Mail, Contacts, Calendars\Fetch New Data\Yahoo is set to push (her account is with sbcglobal.net which is yahoo).
Time Zone Support is on.
I tried deleting and re-creating the account which had no effect. I did a hard reboot of the phone which had no effect. She and I have identical phones and use the same e-mail provider, and my phone receives e-mail in the background and beeps and hers does not. As far as I can tell, all of the settings on both phones that affect e-mail are identical except for the name and e-mail address. And while I was typing this, her phone suddenly starting working again.
The only thing I can think of is that I connected it to my computer while I was typing this. I have no clue what happened or if it will happen again. But comments and ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Bill

I am having the same problem on my iPhone 5. It looks like an iOS 7 bug that's global to all phones. I did read though that Apple is already prepping 7.0.1, 7.0.2 and 7.1 for release. Hopefully this is one of the fixes. I would expect an update very soon due to the security flaw in the new control center (a specific set of actions allows anyone to bypass a lock screen and get access to a portion of the phone's data), hopefully a mail fix is included with this.

Smart playlists are not updating properly

on itunes 12 i've noted that smart playlists are no longer updating with new podcasts properly. Only only podcasts are added to the smart playlist. Please fix this.

With more testing, it turns out to be just Wow Hits 2012. All my other iTunes-Store-purchased music is updating properly.

Array of clusters does not updates properly

Hello...
I builded a VI to split a series of 10000 values in many segments, each one overlapped by 50 %. The product of all the values of each segment is calculated and by means of visual inspection and Led selection (green means that the segment will be used, red means that the segment will not be used), I can select which segment will be used for the final sum. For example: if I have 20 segments, but only segments 4, 8, 15 are green, only the products of the segments 4, 8 and 15 will be summed to generate the final result. The final result should be refreshed if the Lenght of the Segment is changed or if any Led is switched to green or red, but the update does not occur properly. Sometimes all the segments are showed properly but if I change one Led or the Lenght of Segment control, the given result is wrong. When the Lenght of Segments control is changed, all the Leds need to be adjusted to green state.
I don't know where is the problem in my code, but I think that is something related to the cluster constant that is wired to the first Unbundle by name, since that this constant was created from the cluster before it was inserted into array, and not from the array. If I create the constant from the array, the code returns an error.
To avoid race conditions I used flat sequence.
Thanks in advance for attention and help.

I spotted one problemous area:
Where you have an uninitialized shift register, so for every event the value of the last iteration is used.
What's the meaning of this piece of code?
I think you devide the length of the array by half the length of the segment?

After trying recommended fixes, iPad apps still do not update

I am having an issue where my iPad apps do not update. I go to the app store, select update all, and enter my password. The black lines appear under the appropriate apps, but stay black. New apps also do not download. My network connection appears to be fine. This happened another time a month or so ago and I had to completely reset my iPad to fix it. Since this is becoming common, I do not want to have to keep starting from scratch for the fix. I have looked at many recommendations online and have tried them. Here is what I have unsuccessfully tried:
I signed out of the store on my iPad, restarted and signed back in.
I reset the settings.
I updated and synced my apps from iTunes on my computer.
I updated to the latest version of iTunes.
If someone could provide a permanent fix, I would appreciate it. I would prefer not to have to completely reset my iPad once a month.

Try this:
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
Do any of the app icons say Waiting. If so, tap on an app icon that says Waiting.

Need Safari for iTunes Store to work, but Safari will not update properly.

I recently did all my software updates (as updated as i could be on a Powerbook G4), and as I'm trying to access the iTunes store, I can't. I get the message that the latest Safari update needs to be completed. So I go through the update process again for Safari, and I get the message that I don't have the appropriate access to complete the update package. So, I can't update Safari, therefore I can't get into the iTunes store. Does anyone have a solution??

this is the Actual message that i get.
the update "Safari" cannot be saved.
You do not have appropriate access privileges.
The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.

Live Updating smart playlists not updating properly

I have been using some live-updating playlists since I first got my iPod. They had been working fine until just last month. I have a Smart Playlist set to be Live Updating, that follows the rule of playcount is 0. It used to work properly; after playing any song on that list, leaving to the menu screen, and going back to the playlist, the song will disappear from the list.
For whatever reason, this playlist will now only update when I sync my iPod with iTunes. It used to update on the fly in the iPod itself, but no longer.
I have not downloaded the updates for iTunes or the iPod, so I don't see what could have caused this change.
And just now, I synced the iPod with iTunes and while the "Yet to be Played" playlist in iTunes shows only four songs, when I go to that same list on the actual iPod, I get 15 songs. I just don't get that at all.

Annoyed,
You might find our little Discussion of this whole Smart Playlist issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1514307#1514307
interesting.
In particular, Smart Playlists containing Podcasts have yet to have their functionality restored as I have been discussing with Level 2 Support:

Step Type not updating properly with LabVIEW

I have a custom steptype that reads the information from the step properties. I also want this VI to be used as a stand alone. So I read the sequence context handle to determine if I am running in TS or standalone. This works fine. Because it is a stand alone I have a cluster of all the variables the I will need input. This is where the problems start. I noticed that when I define the step type in TS that I load the prototype. I choose to use the default values for the cluster input because I will read the real values inside the VI. When I "EDIT" (ctrl-E) the step it works fine. However at runtime I notice that occasionally the default value is used instead of the real data stored in the step type. I assume there is a race condition for when my variables are loaded. I assumed that when TS loads the prototype it will load the default values, then my LabVIEW TS properties will read and set the values of my VI. What I am seeing is that about every other time my LV will read the steps and update the value correctly then other times TS will overwrite the values with the default after I have read them. Some other wierd fluke I would notice that the variables would be updated in a similar but different named cluster. This I haven't be able to reliably reproduce. It is almost as if the references to the controls would get confused and switch to another control temporarily.
One fix that I have done is to not use the default value but pass the actual step value. See attached pix. This is tedious because some of my steps are large. This is not flexible. Some of my variables I would like to point to different locations, such as a FileGlobal instead of step.XXX.
Has anyone seen this before? When does LabVIEW actually write the data from TS into the VI? It appears that I am having a race condition between me updating the variables by reading the step values and when TS is loading the prototype.
I am using LV 7.1 and TS 3.5.
Thanks.

Hey Taylored_Solution,
I'd love to try to help you out with this issue you're having, but I'll be honest - I'm finding it a little hard to follow what's going on.
Have you been able to isolate this behavior to only one single VI (the one you're currently working on), or, is this behavior reproducible in multiple VIs?
I ask because if it's reproducible in multiple VIs (a new VI), would you mind giving me sort of "step-by-step" to follow so that I can try to reproduce and decipher the behavior you're currently seeing?
If it's isolated to the VI you're working on and not easily reproducible, can you create a copy of your VI, remove everything not-pertinent to the behavior you're seeing, and post a very simple example so that other users can take a look and weigh in?
