G5 ISSUES ARE OLD NEWS.....?

Hi All,
I have now resigned myself to the fact that the issues with the G5's are now history (to Apple that is). New toys and from what I can see new issues which from my experience to date will also be ignored by Apple. Tiger was a must have when it came out, I like many tried it (more dough) and it caused more problems with my G5 and I regressed to 10.3.9 (no issues by the way with this OS) I am not alone with these issues, compressor included, and as we have a choice to make then I could not be bothered playing the games anymore. I have just made other arrangements that suit me professionally, I need my customers to be happy....My advice is use your feet and protest that way, send the goods back and back and back until the issues are fixed.
Cheers
and keep smiling

You are definitely not alone.
Right now I have CHUD installed so I can disable NAP which stops the power supply chirping. I'm also still back on 10.4.2 which was the last update which didn't make my fans rev when doing simple tasks. I actually had the fan revving problem with one of the 10.3 updates but Apple seemed to fix that in the next 10.3 update. They don't seem too worried about fixing it this time. I can't even install iLife 06 since I'm still back on 10.4.2. I can stop the fan revving on 10.4.3 to 10.4.5 by setting the processor performance to highest but when you do that and have NAP disabled your temps get extremely high and I don't want to deal with the chirping power supply if I enable NAP.
Having it repaired for the power supply chirping problem is a waste of time. The fan revving problem, at least the one I have, is something that could be fixed with the right OS update. I'm not holding my breath on a fix for either.

InDesign CC 2014 tryout has only some new features and some others are old: strangest thing ever.

Hi everyone, I have installed a tryout on InDesign CC 2014 today to work on epubs. The app is having all sort of problems. It crashed while making packages. I resetted the prefs and this was fixed.
But the most annoying and strange things are the new features: some are showing (like the export fixed layout epub option), others are not (interactivity menu is exactly the old one, bookmarks options in export panel are not showing).
I had uninstalled it and installed again. It is still not working. I work on an iMac with sys 10.9.5 (Yosemite).
I need to keep the old version running for compatibility issues. I can't delete it.
I am stuck: any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

For example: I have the "export fixed layout epub" (which I do not have in InDesign CC) , but I do not have the bookmarks option in the export panel. I still see SWF preview, but not the epub interactivity menu under -> view -> interactivity. To be more precise: I am following a Lynda.com course about epub: I'm not guessing what to look for or what button to click. I have to follow very careful instruction step-by-step that I can't follow because the program miss some parts.
I attach an image to better explain. It's in italian, but if you just count the options you will see that one is missing: the bookmark (and last) one.

I bought two audio books on iTunes but they will not play. My old books play without issue but the new ones do not.

Did you copy your actual iTunes content from your computer before reinstalling iTunes, or did you just copy your iTunes library which only contains the pointers to your songs / books locations ?
You might, depending upon your country and if they are still in your country's store, be able to redownload your music purchases and your ibooks via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - you will need to delete the entries from your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' messages) before they will potentially show with the cloud icon against them in Purchased for redownloading.
Or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library

I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory and i changed to a new one which was already on another itunes account. When i upgraded to os5 my library has gone it has synced with the new computer - how do i restore the old ipad information? ple

I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory. I changed to a new one which already had another itunes account (for my business) when i upgraded to os5 my library has dissappeared as it has syncd with the new computer. Is there any way i can restore the information previously from my ipad? really appreciate any advice thanx in advance

Lynda-
If you still have the old computer, you should be able to connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from a backup from a previous sync. Now that you have it updated, you will not need to do that again.

Are all New iPad facing the same overheat issue? My new iPad also feels warm at the back.

Are all New iPad facing the same overheat issue?
My new iPad (wifi 64G) also feels warm at the back.

It varies. The difference between 'warm' and 'hot'. As in warmer but I can touch it vs too hot to comfortably handle.
ANd it doesn't seem to be all new iPads. There does seem to be increased heat because of the different battery and the retina display as explained above. There also seems to be some of them - maybe a few from a singular batch/factory that seem to put out what has been termed excessive heat. I would think if it were a universal issue then there'd be something more aggressive being done.
You can always take it into your local apple store and have them look at it and document that you have a concern, but they may say it's just normal heat associated with the prettier display and new battery configuration.

Can anyone tell me if the majority of the wifi issues are due to 10.4.8?

i.e., have many tested reverting back to .6 or .5 to see if the issue is/was resident then? Is that a possible temporary fix to the issues noted all over this board?
In case anyone wonders, my issues are similar to most others...BOTH my wifes 2.16 Core Duo and my new 2.33 C2Duo are experiencing the same issues. While at school, she cannot see any of the numerous nearby networks. I JUST got her to switch to a mac, and now this. Her old HP laptop saw about 6 or more wifi's nearby before, and most importantly her schools wifi connection. But now that she is on the mac, nothing. SOMETIMES, and I do mean only rarely a few networks will surface, but then disappear again. I decided to take my 2.33 C2Duo down there and see if the situation was the same with me...it was/is. Every now and then I might see a network or two, but not the shcools.
This in addition to dropping off my own home wifi over and over again also. I will get a connection and surf away, and then I notice that the airport icon has lost connection. I click the icon and there is my network, avail as ever, so I select it and surf again...same issue with her laptop and my step-fathers 17 inch Core Duo. We all experience the same dropped airport connection. And I can tell you it has nothing to do with idle time or sleeping. I can be surfing along and sometimes if I pause for less than a minute, the connection is lost. Btw, I also just got my step-father to switch, and while in general he is VERY happy, this is a knock-out blow to the saying "It just works." Uhm, nope it doesn't.
I have tried nearly every "trick" and tech troubleshooting idea I have come across here on the boards...I used to be a Mac tech in CA for about 5 years, working for ABC and Disney, so I think I can count myself amongst the more knowledgable Mac users out there.
So, to sum up again, can anyone tell me if they are having these issues with a version previous to 10.4.8?
p.s. BTW, I just saw the release of some EFI updates for the Mac line-up...I will update my wifes machine and let you know if anything gets better, but my 2.33 says that this update is not for this machine/isn't needed...so this EFI update doesn't resolve anything for me.
Thanks...!
MacBook Pro • 2.33 • 120GB/5400RPM • 2GB Ram Mac OS X (10.4.8) Duo Mac Mini w/2GB Ram, 5g 60gb iPod...

I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

Migration of Open Items with Old/New Vendor/Customer number

Hi All,
We are currently working on conversion of Open items. We already have data extracted from legacy system.
Question : I understood that open items extract will have vendor number from legacy and conversion of vendor master will generate new vendor numbers. So what is the best way to update open items extract with new vendor numbers.
Should be done via ABAP program using custom table to store old and new vendor numbers?
What is the best approach to old/new number updation as this issue will again pop up during other conversion objects.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dharmesh

Hi Dharmesh
In relation to your question about what is the best approach to the old/new recoding, I donu2019t know it exactly.
One option is yours: the custom table to store old and new vendor numbers.
Another is to use the u201CSearch termu201D field in vendor master to store the old vendor number, and the ABAP program will look for the conversion in it. Furthermore in the future the user will be able to know the old code in case he/she needs to consult something in the legacy system. If you choose this option, I would recommend make this field only u201CDisplayu201D (not u201Centryu201D) in order to prevent the user from modifying it, once you have loaded the master.
Other option could be to respect the legacy vendor numbers. It depends on the goodness of the legacy coding, technical-wise. If you selected this option, you must define the number range with u201Cnumber range flagu201D = external. In this way, when you register your vendors, you have to assign the vendor number, in this case this would be the legacy code. After the vendor loading process, you have to change the u201Cnumber range flagu201D = internal, and to change the u201Ccurrent numberu201D, typing the bigger vendor number. From that moment on, the system will assign vendor numbers automatically.
I donu2019t know if I have helped you a little. If you want me to explain some aspect better, donu2019t hesitate to ask it to me.
Best regards.

XP 64bit Beta OS for AMD64 - old news?

I'm a 64-bit wannabe, maybe old news, came across this link to get Free *Beta* downloads of either Windows XP 64-BIT Windows Server OR desktop for AMD64, download {90 minutes on DSL} here
I'm learning what i need for my build reading the boards, decided to wait a few months for the socket 939's, PCIExpress, etc, but gee whiz . . .
RexB

Geez SAB, did i really say that, i'm a dunderhead! Howlongagodidiwritethat,omigawdanybodyelseseenit?
Thanks, I added them to "Da List". As i'm digging in reviews and comparison matching and blahblahblah and wasting my meager 56k{42k} bandwidth {waaaa No hi-speed out here in the stix, satellite is price-gouging}
The quote "K8T800 PRO might give you more BIOS options or CPU speed" endquote. What does 'might' mean. If the board gets mad at me it won't give me all it's options?
Don't laugh, some of this stuff is smoke & mirrors. Yes, there is a possibility that shamans have an 'in' to the spirit world, and these "invisible-to-the-naked-eye-millions-of-transistors-and-doped-silicone" might too in their electromagnetic aura {cancer?tumors?}, who knows? I'm not superstitious, just careful about pi***ng the wrong things off.
I'm guessing that cuz i'm not real concerned about advanced graphics or gaming that i wouldn't care if my board was the "K8N for it's AGP/PCI lock". This Anandtech March 23, 2004 test of these chipsets and the N250's predecessor, for what it's worth. Unbelievable the 2nd-to-last last line of 2nd paragraph.
. . .""At launch, there were really just two Athlon 64 chipsets - the nVidia nForce3 150 and VIA K8T800. As we have discussed in reviews of boards based on these chipsets, neither one really meets the specifications that we would like to see in Athlon 64 chipsets. Later, SiS introduced the promising 755 chipset, but no one has brought the kind of 755 boards that we hoped to see to market. In addition, our recent tests of the PCI locks on all 3 Athlon 64 chipsets found that none of them really worked. Given this background, we were more than ready for a new chipset for Athlon 64 that would fix many of the issues.""
Did the K8T800 PRO fix this? blahblahblah then it goes on:
. . .""The non-working PCI lock that we later found on nF3-150 also came as a huge surprise. nVidia tells us, and we did confirm, that the PCI lock does work on the nVidia Reference Board for nF3-150, but they are also aware that it did not work in production nF3-150 motherboards. nVidia assures us that this BIOS programming issue is fixed in nF3-250.""
Can ya' take that to the bank? How many unsuspecting buyerz got that 150 board for the non-functional PCI lock?!?
. . I'm just getting into it, but these are the same chipsets on the market today, two months after the article, right, sans the nF3-150?

My iPhone 4 signal issues are gone...

Well, like many of people here I had the obnoxious signal loosing issue that is affecting a staggering amount of iPhone 4 users. However, I never realized I inadvertedly fixed the issue until just 10 minutes ago. I had signal issues since Day 1.
Bear with me thru this small story. I saw here a thread on MacRumors about a user experiencing camera issues on his iPhone 4. Said issue was that the camera showed a green spot in the center. I was sorta curious but never really paid much attention to it. This was 4 days ago. Flash forward to yesterday.
I was on the Apple Store picking out a new case for my iPhone 4, along with the respective screen protector. While I was doing that I saw an empty iPhone 4 demo unit and I decided to test drive FaceTime. I fired up both my iPhone 4 and the demo unit and connected. Disaster struck, my iPhone suffered from the same green spot effect as the iPhone from the user on MacRumors. Knowing full well, it was a hardware problem I set up an appointment for today at 6:30 PM.
Flash forward to today 6:30 PM. I got there at 6:15 and the Genius helped me out right away. He saw the problem, diagnosed my phone and concluded as previously stated it was hardware problem. Obviously warranty kicks in. He takes out my Micro SIM card and puts in the new iPhone (this was a brand new, not refurb unit). He activates it and hands it to me for mini inspection. first thing I do is check the camera, and against ALL odds, the same issue plagued this new phone. The Genius and I were, to say the least, shocked. Same issue, different phone. Now, how does this relate to the signal loss? Well, I am getting there so hang on tight.
The Genius does a comparisson between my iPhone and replacement unit to find the exact spot. He then pulls out his and does the comparisson to find his iPhone 4 too suffers from the dreaded green blob/spot. He then tells me there is no other replacement unit for my iPhone and that I had 2 choices. Take my current iPhone and wait if a software fix comes along, or take the replacement phone with me. I decided to wait and keep my phone (it is a hassle to resotre everything to previous state). So the Genius reswaped the SIM card to my phone back and handed it to me. (My iPhone spent 15 minutes with out SIM card while the Genius did all his tests on my and replacement unit, and while he asked for 2nd opinions on the green blob issue)
I went on my merry way, but realized something now. No matter what position I held my iPhone 4 in, the signal never decreased. I held it the many ways I know the signal issue pops and nothing. No bar loss, no signal loss, no call drop. NOTHING. So there you have it.
I am theorizing that moving the SIM card had something to do with the signal issue, because the only thing I have done to my iPhone 4 differently is take out and reinsert the SIM card. Other than that no other changes to it. No setting change, no software change no nothing. Just reinsertion of the SIM card. Now, to prove my theory, I need people who can test this and see if this fixes their iPhone. I know it did on mine, but on yours?
Check it out.
PS - No, I did not have the green blob issue fixed.
My original thread is found here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=955742
Many users are claiming (me included) the signal issues being fixed.

I have "death-grip" issue. Just ejected SIM card to test SIM contacting the SIM tray issue. I have a 10x loupe and inspected the area in question (SIM card gold contacts touching tray) and I found that there is a space between contacts and SIM tray. Under 10x magnification you can easily see how precice my SIM card was made and cut. There's also a relief rout around contact area. Also there is a thin film of some non-conducting material between SIM card and SIM tray where the tray supports the card. This SIM tray even has the IMEI and Serial number etched on it and under 10x magnification you can appreciate the fabrication and close tolerances even this SIM tray is made to.
I followed all instructions on the macrumors forum and this "DID NOT" solve my "death-grip" issue and I can verify with 100% certainty that the SIM contacts are not touching the SIM tray anywhere.
I do hope this helps others but I am still hoping that this can be rectified with software.

Issues with the New Cloud

Missing options in Media Encoder, Premiere, and After Effects.
Just got done with this chat with Richa.
It appears that there are some issues with your new version of several of your flagship programs. No way to create SMALL size video files for use on slower networks (yes, they still exist out there, I deal with them every day). And the video files have to have alpha channels so they can be overlayed on top of graphics. I am still using flash because it can do things that just cant be done with HTML 5, javascript, css. And it is compatible across almost all browsers. I don't really care what Apple says it is still a very viable program. And if you want to play it on an iOS platform all you need is a browser app to do so. (people have safari, firefox, internet explorer, google etc. so get over the fact that it doesn't work with safari on iOS for iPads and iPhones and download another browser).
But now Adobe has started pulling some real stupid mistakes on purpose or by accident. Not everyone using your production suite is working on the next blockbuster movie for Hollywood. We use these programs for other applications as well. And you have opted to leave some of those tools out of your latest release of flagship programs. What are you thinking!
We in the industry need to make video files that are small in size, that contain alpha channels, and will download over slow networks at a reasonable rate. I don't have any use for a Quicktime mov the size of the Titanic (1.2Gig) when I can compress it to a reasonable size. BUT I NEED THE ABILITY TO INCLUDE THE ALPHA CHANNEL.
And if you read in the chat session below, I would like to be able to do this without having two copies of After Effects loaded on my system. Or any of the other programs as I come across issues.
You have 2.3 million people paying you a monthly subscription. Put down the champagne and start really looking at these new versions of software for your omissions.
I will climb down off my soapbox now and hope, no pray these issues get taken care of very soon. I use your software to make a living. I am not just playing with it as a hobby. Time is money, especially when you can't deliver something to a client after you upgrade your software because you have this wonderful subscription thing that is supposed to make the world better.
You are now chatting with Richa.
Richa: We appreciate your patience and regret the inconvenience due to high wait time.
Richa: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Richa: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account & verify the details.
Richa: which application are you using?
Richa: We have not heard from you for some time. Do you wish to continue to chat?
david young: After Effects, Premiere, Media Encoder. Any of these. I have downloaded CC 2014 and you have done away with several options when creating video that I use to create interactive pieces for Flash presentations. I can no longer create flvs with alpha. I cannot create H.264 with alpha.
david young: Are you still there?
Richa: yes, please wait a moment
Richa: Open the preferences of After Effects and in the output tab, click on show depriciated formats
david young: Opened prefrences/output but dont see depricated formats.
Richa: I am sorry that option is available in CC as of now, so you need to save this project as AFter effects cc version and open in the previous version and work on it
david young: Well that Sucks. I removed the previous version of the program when I upgraded. How do I get to a previous version from the app manager?
Richa: go to creative cloud app
Richa: and click on the previous version
david young: The only version available is 2014. I don't see a previous version.
Richa: Please allow me to take the remote access of your computer, so that I can troubleshoot further accordingly.
david young: You may not have remote control of my computer. Walk me through the process. And how do I lodge a formal complaint about this issue. Do you not remember why people switched from Final Cut 10 to Premiere?
Richa: We already have posted this issue online on our blogs and forums. Secondly, for the older versions, it is just a simple step in creative cloud app
Richa: All you have to do is in the dropdown menu on uninstalled apps select "Previous version" and click on the version you need to install
david young: There is no drop down menu that says previous version.

What file name, are old emails saved under in backups?

Time Machine, does not seem to operate properly, past the date when I clean installed Yosemite. My files are all there, but I can only find them by going into my drive, and either searching for the file in Time Machine, or searching for it in my backup drive. I cannot restore a mail file, by opening mail, and time machine. It works fine up until the date, when I installed Yosemite. I have done 2 different completely clean installs, and one using migration assistant, wt a multitude of problems. I am done wt doing that. My iMac is finally running smoothly, and I have managed to migrate everything back into my iMac, except for my old emails. I'm pretty sure that I could restore my emails, as long as I knew where there there supposed to be stored on my iMac. I could basically restore them, by either looking in my backup drive where they are before I installed Yosemite. What file name, are old Maverick emails saved under in backups?

The information viewed in Contacts is not located in a single file, nor a single directory.
[Copied from another thread I responded to recently:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24658329#24658329]
This MIGHT be include all the files you need, but there might also be Preferences files needed from another directory.
Also, I migrated my data from an older OS X version (10.6.8) where the app was called Address Book. On brand new systems, it is called Contacts, and the correct directory might be named Contacts.
NOTE: Be sure to replace Macintosh HD below with the actual hard drive name if not Macintosh HD, and username below with the actual user's name...
Transfer all the files from Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
That WILL INCLUDE each of these three subdirectories where the necessary files and data are stored:
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/images
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources

Issue when "AT NEW " or "AT END OF " is executed

Hi,
I face an issue, when "AT NEW <>" or "AT END OF <>" line gets executed: the loop structure which fetches record from internal table, gets reset every time when either of above two statements are executed. But, whenever loop is called and the structure gets assigned with value, it seems to be fine. Only when above two statements are executed, the problem is introduced. I checked it in debug mode. Not sure on how to solve it. please help.
Thanks,
Gaurav.

Hi,
When the AT NEW or AT END command get executed in that time the structure which toy are using will make all the fields * other except the field on which you do the AT NEW or AT END.
Hence you need to pass that structure values to the another structure before the AT NEW and AT END and use that structure in the AT NEW and AT END so ypu will get all the values inside these functions.
loop at t_temp to lw_temp.
lw_temp1 = lw_temp.
AT NEW field name
Lw_temp =lw_temp1.
ENDAT.
ENDLOOP
