For all those with "BLANK SCREEN ISSUES" with MacBook Pro's....

...I suggest you direct all the issues you're having to Apple through the feedback form here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
I for one have rang tech support twice now, had a go and the only response I got back was to go to that link, fill the form in and wait for response.
State the problems you're having and post this link as reference:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1478474
Hopefully then Apple with acknowledge each of us.
(PS. Apple people...DO NOT delete this post for being "off topic" because it most definately IS ON TOPIC!. Im trying to save people from calling tech support at their expense only to be told to fill in the feedback form.)

Who are you directing that to?
To you if I'm not mistaken...you upgraded to 9.0-1 via pacman,
but the fix was in 9.01 not 9.0-1.
If you read my post, I was responding to Vex who said 9.0[-1] fixed his issue. Knowing that 9.0[-1] != 9. 01 (and that the fix was in 9.01) , I told him it was weird that 9.0-1 fixed his problem (which is more polite than saying, "Bullsh*t!"), and I confirmed the weirdness by pointing out that the 9.0-1 upgrade I had performed earlier that morning did nothing for me (nor did I expect it to because the fix was in 9.01). Finally, I confirmed that building and installing 9.01 did the trick (as it was supposed to).
I don't really think anybody was confused about 9.0-1 != 9.01. That's why I asked who Stonecrest was talking to. No big deal.

Strategy for iLife storage with Macbook Pro

My iMac recently died and I just ordered a new Macbook Pro. It only has 256GB of internal storage and I would rather not fill that up with my iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes libraries among other things. So I will definitely have some form of external storage attached to this while at my desk workstation. My question revolves around the ability to use the iLife products in basically an offline mode while the Macbook Pro is with me at work or at the office. I realize the answer to iTunes is to do a Match type of service where everything can be streamed. But for the others, if I want to work with photos or movies while travelling (not necessarily edit/view existing ones that are the home storage) is this possible?
If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them before I make any additional purchases.
Thank you.
Joe

will using an external burner be better quality?
Ext. Burners tolerate burning multiple copies with fewer read / write errors better than the stock internal S-Drive that come built into many mac laptops. Stock drives heat up faster than external burners do for the most part. So the answer is, it's very possible you will get slightly better results with an external burner as opposed to an internal laptop S-Drive when burning back to back copies.
I recommend using Verbatim Dvd-r media and burning from a disc image at 4x or slower for best results.

Should I Use An External Burner For Better Quality With Macbook Pro?

Hey I have a macbook pro and used IDVD to burn a movie but near the end it freezes and kinda skips a bit and I was wondering cause it takes two to three hours to burn will using an external burner be better quality?

Started as a Blank Screen, now my MacBook Pro is useless.

I have a serious issue that has cost me well over $2,000 now and I am getting ******. I am a programmer and I have multiple projects on my Mac that I have now lost. I do have a Time Machine backup but its weeks old. Didn’t realize Snow Leopard was the new Vista.
Snow Leopard does not work and I cannot restore my computer back to Leopard. The issue I am having is the blank screen bug that is caused by Snow Leopard. When using 10.6.0 I was able to resolve the blank screen by simply reinstalling Snow Leopard.
I updated to 10.6.1 and I now have the blank screen and this time my MacBook Pro is unresponsive. For me to get the blank screen all I need to do is put my computer to sleep. When it goes to sleep there is 50/50 chance it will recover. This is the first time it happened with 10.6.1, the issue is now more sever, my assumption is 10.6.1 caused this. This is not a hardware issue; I have already eliminated that possibility. Taking the MacBook Pro to the Apple store is out of the question. They had a Mac Pro of mine for 2 weeks and said it was fixed, when I got it back it was still broken. I fixed it in 3 hours…. They almost broke my raid card in the process. The so-called Apple Geniuses are idiots.
I’m turning here as a last resort, I’m not expecting to get this resolved but it’s worth a try. In a nutshell, my problems as of right now are:
1. Mac will not boot – I have a blank screen, like my computer is in sleep mode and won’t wake.
2. I have a CD in the drive that I cannot remove. I tried all methods to remove it, still no luck. I am about to take it apart to manually remove the CD.
3. I have already tried resetting my PRAM and NVRAM, no change.
4. I have tried to use Target mode but it seems useless. I have tried to use every mode to boot that Apple has and still it’s a no go.
5. This is not the possible nVidia graphics card issue because it’s not just a video problem. I am out of warranty so it may seem a useful escape goat.
6. I have upgraded my HardDrive and my memory. I have no issues with this hardware, I know the issues are not related to the new hardware installed, I already tested this hardware and this issue only happens on Snow Leopard.
All that’s let for me to do as of this moment is to get my refund for Snow Leopard and move back to Windows…. I really hate Windows but it’s more stable than Snow Leopard.
To any that can help, thanks; if not, hope this doesn’t happen to you.

Using process of elimination, Snow Leopard has ruined my MacBoook Pro. I have tested my HD and Memory in other MBP’s and they work fine. I had no issues till I used SL and it is obvious that it was the cause of the issue. I’m sure Apple will deny this claim….. Be warned.
I now have a $2,500 paper weight. I’m done with Apple…. Hackintosh was more stable anyways.

For all those with no sound with ITunes 7.0

I'm just going to post what happened to me. After installing iTunes 7, I could not play any music...the progress bar would sit there, and eventually I would hear a weird sound coming from the speakers.
I opened up the QuickTime control panel, and went to the Audio tab. I set the rate to 192 Khz (from 44.1) and left Size=16. After applying, I could play all of my music.
Don't ask me why. I just hope it works for others.

I have a WinXP PC and a Linksys G class router. I am on Comcast broadband cable. Both ATV and PC are on wireless link. And I have tried a borrowed Apple Airport router (G class). That didn't help resolve this problem so far. I don't think it is a router issue as you will see that many folks on this forum have the same problem with a wide mix of environments. Many of them are on pure Apple components and so one cannot blame Microsoft and non-Apple devices.
Having said this, I hope the new router resolves your issues. In my case, the only option left is to keep calling Apple Care.

For all those with D-Link routers and problems with iTunes dropping AppleTV

My setup: Custom built WinXP PC with iTunes 7.6.2. Apple TV w/Take 2. D-link DI-624 wireless N router, wired to the PC, wireless to the aTV.
I have an intersting phenomenon occuring with my Apple TV. I can sync the aTV to my PC and it works fine, but the first time we receive a phone call on our VOIP phone, the router drops the ATV connection to the PC. aTV still has internet connectivity, but iTunes on the PC cannot see the aTV, and I cannot sync.
A search yielded gobs of folks with D-link routers and iTunes/AppleTV connection issues. I just won an Airport Extreme router off ebay...as soon as I have a chance to test it out I will post back in this thread as to the results.
I know folks don't like the solution to be "spend more money", but I think it would be worth it to a lot of people if they knew a different router would solve their issues (rather than continuing to guess or throw money at the problem randomly).

For all those out there with Iphone5 WIFI issues,Please READ THIS

I pre-ordered my iphone 5 (Black) got that last week. Quickly backed up my Iphone 4 and Restored my iphone 5.The first thing i checked to see is connecting to my WIFI network at home. And i kept getting a message "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK". I had the iphone 4 aside and i can see iphone 4 is connected just fine. So are my laptop, Ipad and other devices.
So what is different in Iphone5?
After couple of days of head banging, and phone calls with apple support. I finally gave up and went to a apple store , they said, They have not heard any WIFI issues and my case was the first , However to keep me happy they said they will replace my device, But if have the same issue ,they will NOT be able to replace it again. And they even showed me the new iphoen connects to their "Non-secured" apple WIFI network.
So i take the new phone home, and the first thing i try is connecting to WIFI.And i still get "Unable to connect to the wifi network ".And i still can see Iphone 4 working fine and connecting to the same network just fine. With the second iphone5 also not working, I realized it is not hardware, but something surely changed with WIFI in iphone 5. I have a NETGEAR router with its latest firmware installed(2.0.26). I then downgraded my firmware to 2.0.21, then gave a shot.
BINGO..Iphone 5 works fine connects to wifi.and so is my iphone4 too.
So for all those users out there, the fact is something changed in iphone 5 WIFI algorithm. And if anyone really disagrees with me on this, I am going to post a video to demonstrate on YOUTUBE. I believe it is completely UNFAIR for apple to now ask you Upgrade/change your router or its firmware. And it is not fair for router companies to Fix anything to make their firmware compatible with iphone5.
So iphone 5 Users, Please lets us all push for a fix on this issue. WE WANT FIX.

I can't tell you how frustrated/disappointed I was when this exact situation happened to me. I upgraded my wife's iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 just to find out that it wouldn't connect to my home wifi but would connect everywhere else. Guess what...
I found a fix!!
On you iPhone go to Settings, General, About, scroll to "WiFi Address". Now stay there.
Log-in to your modem thru your web browser via IP Address. (Keep in mind, I use a 2Wire modem, yours may be different) Clicked "Wireless" for wireless settings, scrolled down to "MAC Filtering" and clicked "Edit Allowed/Blocked Device List". At the bottom, there's a field to which you can manually enter a MAC address to you allow or block. If you're using a different modem with different menus/options, just browse around til you find a similar option of manually adding MAC addresses for access or blocking.
MAC Address = Wifi Address. See where i'm going with this?
Type the WiFi Address from you iPhone in the MAC address field, click "Add to List". If MAC filtering is enabled, it'll be added to the BLOCK list, simply click on the address, and click the double arrow pointing towards the ALLOW list so it'll transfer lists to where you want it, then click save.
Now go back to your iPhone and attempt to re-connect to your wifi network as you normally would & voila!
This worked for me, i hope it works for you as well.

IPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution

Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.

I have just used air display with macbook pro. i have disconnected now from apple tv. but my laptop screen is still very small like its connected to the tv. this means all the tabs and writing is very small, how do i full disconnect my laptop?

i have just used air display with macbook pro. i have disconnected now from apple tv. but my laptop screen is still very small like its connected to the tv. this means all the tabs and writing is very small. like the display down the bottom where al the applications are, is n the middle of the page and not spread down the bottom. this is seriously annoying! all the writing is every small and the tabs are small and its hard to read. the air display link has disappeared from my computer. but the laptop screen is still very small. i want to know how do i get rid of this and return my macbook screen to its normal size. thank you

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

For All Entries with two tables

Hi All,
         Can we use FOR ALL ENTRIES with two tables. for example
SELECT * FROM MKPF INTO TABLE T_MKPF
         WHERE BUDAT IN S_BUDAT.
SELECT * FROM MARA INTO TABLE T_MARA
         WHERE MTART IN S_MTART AND
                        MAKTL IN S_MAKTL.
SELECT * FROM MSEG INTO TABLE T_MSEG
       FOR ALL ENTRIES IN "T_MKPF AND T_MARA"
              WHERE MBLNR EQ T_MKPF-MBLNR AND
                             MATNR EQ T_MARA-MATNR.
can we do it like this or any other way to do this plz tell. I waitting for your responce.
Thanks
Jitendra

Hi,
u cannot do like this....chek some documentation on it..
1. duplicate rows are automatically removed
2. if the itab used in the clause is empty , all the rows in the source table will be selected .
3. performance degradation when using the clause on big tables.
Say for example you have the following abap code:
Select * from mara
For all entries in itab
Where matnr = itab-matnr.
If the actual source of the material list (represented here by itab) is actually another database table, like:
select matnr from mseg
into corresponding fields of table itab
where .
Then you could have used one sql statement that joins both tables.
Select t1.*
From mara t1, mseg t2
Where t1.matnr = t2.matnr
And T2..
So what are the drawbacks of using the "for all entires" instead of a join ?
At run time , in order to fulfill the "for all entries " request, the abap engine will generate several sql statements (for detailed information on this refer to note 48230). Regardless of which method the engine uses (union all, "or" or "in" predicates) If the itab is bigger then a few records, the abap engine will break the itab into parts, and rerun an sql statement several times in a loop. This rerun of the same sql statement , each time with different host values, is a source of resource waste because it may lead to re-reading of data pages.
returing to the above example , lets say that our itab contains 500 records and that the abap engine will be forced to run the following sql statement 50 times with a list of 10 values each time.
Select * from mara
Where matnr in ( ...)
Db2 will be able to perform this sql statement cheaply all 50 times, using one of sap standard indexes that contain the matnr column. But in actuality, if you consider the wider picture (all 50 executions of the statement), you will see that some of the data pages, especially the root and middle-tire index pages have been re-read each execution.
Even though db2 has mechanisms like buffer pools and sequential detection to try to minimize the i/o cost of such cases, those mechanisms can only minimize the actual i/o operations , not the cpu cost of re-reading them once they are in memory. Had you coded the join, db2 would have known that you actually need 500 rows from mara, it would have been able to use other access methods, and potentially consume less getpages i/o and cpu.
In other words , when you use the "for all entries " clause instead of coding a join , you are depriving the database of important information needed to select the best access path for your application. Moreover, you are depriving your DBA of the same vital information. When the DBA monitors & tunes the system, he (or she) is less likely to recognize this kind of resource waste. The DBA will see a simple statement that uses an index , he is less likely to realize that this statement is executed in a loop unnecessarily.
Beore using the "for all entries" clause and to evaluate the use of database views as a means to:
a. simplify sql
b. simplify abap code
c. get around open sql limitations.

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,any ideas? thanks, Derek

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek

For all entries with inner join

Hi All,
I found some unusual thing.
i have written INNERJOIN along with FOR ALL ENTRIES and also INNERJOIN in loop..endloop. I have tested both programs with around 1000 records, i found that INNERJOIN with FOR ALL ENTRIES is taking more time compared to the other one. As we know FOR ALL ENTRIES with SIMPLE SELECT takes less time compared to select in loop..endloop. Anybody tell me is there any specific reason for this
thanks in advance

Trigger workflow for all tcodes with set transaction GS01

Hi,
There are nearly 7 tcodes in FI maintained in the set tranasction using GS01 and we desire to trigger worklfow for all those tcodes, even if another one is added in future. What is the process to go about?
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for the concern.
The tcodes are SAP standard tcodes like fb50 and others for document park and post. Now the requirement is that, the set of tcodes maintained in set transaction GS01, say 7 SAP standard tcodes maintained, the workflow should trigger whenever someone parks or posts a document, which must be subsequently approved by a set of approvers and then the actual release and posting(or re-posting) takes place.
How can i achieve this using workflow, precisely to trigger worklfow for al those tcodes, now at a later date the tcodes can be either reduced or added to the set.
Best Regards

What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro? I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
If you are more of a designer, try these:
RapidWeaver
Freeway Pro
Muse
If you want to write web page code, try these:
Coda
BBEdit
Dreamweaver
If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
No program at all.
Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
Squarespace
Wix
The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
Already designed to the latest web standards
Already designed to resist hackers
Already designed to work on all browsers
Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
Already designed for accessibility
Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
Already designed with social media links built in if you want
It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.
