General question regarding problems

Is it possible that most of the problems that people are having with the 5th is going to be eventually corrected with updated software?

Many of the problems people are having can be divided into these areas:
1. Poor Manual that ships with the IPOD. Most don't read the IPOD 101 before getting frustrated.
2. Computer and Operating system is a mess before they load ITunes and connect IPOD.
3. Bad manufactuered IPODs that have problems.
4. Folks load corrupted files from P2P networks that further hang problems during transfer and play.
5. Video files that are converted wrong that cause stuttering and audio/video snyc issues.
6. Improperly disconnecting IPODs from Windows based PCs that cause the IPOD to lock up frequently.
I could go on and on.
Firmware could improve some things and maybe smooth a few areas out, but the majority of problems can be directly traced to the above.

  • General question regarding "parallelism" of iPhone execution

    I've got a general question and hope somebody can shed some light on this.
    While I'm relatively new to iPhone development I've been in software programing for more than 15 years now and have a solid background in Java, C, C++, C# and other languages. I've created a couple of applications for the iPhone, easy and complex ones, some using UIKit, others using Open GL and Open AL. With that said I think it would be fair to say that I know pretty much what I'm talking about.
    For those who tend to refer everybody back to the Apple Samples or PDF guides, please believe me, I've read them all.
    Here's my "question":
    I occasionally ran into a situation where I got the impression that code on the iPhone got executed in a "non sequential" or "parallel" manner even when I did not explicitly created threads. I'm not referring to code buried in a framework or so, I'm talking about code I've written. (English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse me if my explanation might be somewhat difficult to understand.)
    I try to give an example. Assume a code snippet like this:
    _gameEngine = [GameEngine alloc];
    [_gameEngine initSomeStuff];
    In my understanding the second statement (the initSomeStuff) gets executed once alloc returns and _gameEngine for sure is a valid pointer. Is that fair to say? I sometimes got the impression that the iPhone starts executing code without waiting that a method returned.
    I had similar issues when I tried to show an ActivityIndicator while another method was doing a lengthy operation. Pseudocode like this:
    [_activityIndicator show];
    [self longLastingOperation];
    [_activityIndicator hide];
    In code like the one above: Can I be 100% sure, that the hide message is not sent until longLastingOperation returns? I ran into a situation where I had the impression that show and hide got called immediately without waiting until longLastingOperation returned.
    Final example:
    [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(doSomething) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
    [self nextStatement];
    -(void)doSomething {
    [self longLastingOperation];
    1.) In the above code, I understand the idea is that doSomething will be executed on the MainThread and that nextStatement will in no way be executed before doSomething has returned. Is that true?
    2.) doSomething is supposed to run on the MainThread but does this hold true for longLastingOperation, too? Or could it be that longLastingOperation WITHIN doSomething gets dispatched to another thread and doSomething returns PRIOR to longLastingOperation been finished?
    This might all sound pretty wired but as I said from time to time I ran into a situation where I got totally confused as to how stuff executes in – or out of – sequence. I helped myself with using NSNotificationCenters etc. but I'd like to understand what's going on in detail and crystal clear here.
    Your help is more than appreciated.
    Thanks,
    R.

    It is never safe to assume that any allocation was successful, and while it's incredibly unlikely that you're running into any such situation, it's entirely possible for a formal protocol to declare that a given message send should return immediately without waiting around:

  • General question regarding environment files in APPL_TOP

    Hi. I will be passing my OCP (hopefully) next month and I am now turning my head to teh Applications side since my job involves a lot of Oracle Financials.
    I just did a clean installation of 11.5.10.2 but at the level of seeting environment files, my boss swooped in and did them all. I would love to know which ones need changing, or even which ones do what ...
    I am using the Oracle doc Re: Generate the Database Context File
    to follow with, but what I see before me in our own (9i, AIX 5.2) set up doesnt always mirror what the doc says.
    I need some general information about these env. files. In our <ORA>APPL directory we have the following env. files:
    APPSORA.env
    DEV.env
    DEV_davidcl.env
    APPSDEV_davidcl.env
    DAVIDCUST.env (I have changed our firm's name to David)
    In the doc, it explains that there is a "main applications env file", and a consolidated applications file". <CONTEXT_NAME>.env and APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env respectively. Which ones are those in my directory listing?
    I have also checked in the .profile of the appcldev and the appdbdev users, and they both point to the same two environment files -
    $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
    and
    $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
    Sorry this is a bit scrambled message - is there any other source out there to explain environment files?
    Thanks
    DA

    Thanks - they are the same! That's why the DEV_davidcl.env has all the parameters that according to the doc APPDDEV_davidcl.env should have.
    Thanks - very helpful. The DBA here never has any time to explain this stuff, since I think he's been doing it for so long that he doenst understand why anyone would not know it too. Its very hard working for him sometimes since nothing is explained.
    All of my questions are stemming from this clean installation of 11.5.2 that I have done.
    I am still wondering about the .profiles of each user we have on the system though. I understand that we had to copy the profiles from TEST to this, our DEV side, then we edited the profiles to match the DEV parameters. Fine.....but the actual .env files themselves - I am looking at them and dont understand at all.
    Each .profile and each user are as follows:
    appdbdev:
    appdbdev@TEST:more .profile
    APPL_TOP=/oradbi3/oracle/testappl;export APPL_TOP
    . $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
    . $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
    appcldev:
    appcldev@TEST:more .profile
    APPL_TOP=/oracli3/oracle/devappl;export APPL_TOP
    . $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
    . $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
    So these two, both on the cl node, appear to be pointing to same env files.
    Then comes the db node:
    oradbdev:
    oradbdev@TEST:more .profile
    . /oradbi3/oracle/devdb/9.2.0/DEV_daviddb.env
    . /oradbi3/oracle/devappl/DAVIDCUST.env
    I think I can understand the .env that are pointed to on the cl node, but I dont understand the oradbdev .profile, since its pointing to oradbi3/oracledevdb for one env file, then oradbi3/oracle/devappl for another.
    I asked our DBA about this, and he said "dont worry about it". I have to try and run the script to start the application server this morning, but every time I try to su to the db node user I get this:
    doralcl:/> su - appdbdev
    .profile[2]: /oradbi3/oracle/devappl/DAVIDCUST.env: not found.
    Like I mentioned, I pinted this out to our DBA and he told me not to worry.

  • General questions regarding capturing electronic signatures

    Hi Guys,
    Have some questions....
    Are electronic signatures supported in BPM and if yes any idea what types of signature? what standards are used, whether they are legally accepted and whether this is part of the package or a separate application. 
    can the processes support multiple signatures at multiple stages, signifying different levels of approval?
    Could you provide some idea on how electronic signatures are recorded and retained and how the process or document remains fixed once signed?
    Thanks in advace.

    this is more application related. nothing to do with BPM.

  • General question regarding Nike+Ipod

    I just received my first Ipod and it is a new 5th generation ipod nano.
    Not knowing anything about an Ipod, realized there is a pedometer feature which seems pretty cool and did more reading and if you have this Nike+ program, you can track your workouts, and the main reason for getting the Ipod is to have something to listen to for my workouts.
    I will never get a nike shoe to use this with, so my question: Is it worth getting if I can't put the device inside my shoe or are there other programs that work similar that you can download and purchase for the Ipod??
    Thanks!

    If I'm not mistaken, I think the pedometer works with out the nike+ sensor. Just make sure that you calibrated first. Hope this helps.

  • General question  regarding NWDI!

    Hi experts,
    I'm using NWDI since two months as a developer and as a post-installer.
    According to your experiences, I would like to know when should we have to use NWDI ? With how many developers ? In which condition do we need NWDI ?
    Thanks for your answers.
    Regards

    Hello Berthe,
      You would use NWDI if you have the following conditions.
      1. You need to customize some sap delivered functions like ESS/MSS. NWDI becomes your build and transport environment in this case.
      2. The number of developers can range from 2 to n.
      3. You need to be able to have versioning and release cycles of the product you are developing
    Hope that helps

  • General question regarding System.out.println

    Just for my knowledge fellas,
    When you have a few System.out.println's in your code, what happens to the lines written to standard out when you run your application from the executable jar file? I know if you run your app in cmd prompt, then the lines are outputted to the cmd screen, and in Netbeans, in the output section...but where do those lines go when you run the app as an executeable? Are they still written, but there's nothing to show the written lines?

  • SAP GRC Process Control - General Questions

    Hi all,
    We have the following general questions regarding SAP GRC Process Control:
    1) Assume that we have set up 5 different SAP Connectors in Process Control. When you configured a specific rule and control and then, schedule the job for such control, how does the system (SAP Process Control) knows which back-end system needs to be accesed for such control?
    2) In which language are the out-of-the box rule steps's script coded? In which different languages can those scripts be coded, what is to say, in which language can we code our own scripts?
    3) How is the detailed flow between SAP Process Control and SAP Back-end system?
    Many thanks. Regards,

  • A few questions regarding SAP EWM and WM

    Hello,
    I have a few general questions regarding the differences between EWM and WM:
    1) What are the benefits of EWM-MFS compared to WM + TRM (especially in terms of SPS)?
    2) The Quality Inspection Engine (QIE) can also be used by SAP WM, right?
    3) There is RFID-support in EWM, so EWM is able to communicate directly with SAP Auto-ID, right?
         But I have heard that SAP PI is necessary in some cases, when and why?
    4) Is there something new in EWM regarding goods receipt processing?
        I have read that the splitting of inbound delivery items is possible in EWM in case of missing inbound delivery items. Is this really  a new feature?
    5) EWM can easily be connected to SAP BW for reporting purposes, what about WM?
    6) What about scalability if the warehouse grows?
    7) Is there any information about the costs of using EWM compared to WM and vice versa?
    I appreciate any kind of help.
    Thank you.
    Dennis

    Hi,
    1. What does SAP offer as a product for dWM? Is it a u201Cspecialu201D installation of the SAP framework dedicated to WM or is it a standard ECC box where only the WM module is used?
    There are two version of DWM. One is Decentralized WM as a part of ECC and another one is EWM as a part of SCM. Both are decentralized.
    2. My understanding is that the interfaces between ERP and dWM can support some non-real time operations (like when the main ERP system is down, the dWM can still perform some operations). Considering that the transactional interfaces are based on BAPIs, how does SAP achieve this interfacing in non-real time environments? I am thinking you can complete the different processing unless both systems are up
    When it comes to interfaces, DWM needs Deliveries from ERP. That's it, WM can function from there independent of ERP system. But, WM defenitely needs to communicate back PGI and PGR and other posting changes . So, in case ERP is down, even though PGI / PGR is done at WM end, they may not be communicated back to ERP. But WM generates PGI/PGR IDOCs which can always be reprocessed at WM end to resend them to ERP so that Inventory levels are accurate.
    Hope that helps
    Thanks

  • Camileo charging problem (solved) and a general question!

    Hi all!
    First of all, I was going to ask for help as to why the Camileo S10 was not charging (the orange light wasn't flashing), and I'd seen a few people with similar problems.
    The solution?
    Give the contacts on the battery a clean.
    The insulation sticker that comes on it must leave some kind of residue on it, and it's enough to prevent charging. Now it's flashing away happily :]
    So my general question was, is it possible/advisable to use the camera on the mains?
    Rather than constantly draining and charging the battery during long shoots, I'd prefer to just leave it plugged in!
    Thanks very much in advance!
    Paul

    Hi
    I think the battery handling is always the same no matter what product it is
    From time to time the battery should be recalibrated.
    This means that the battery should be discharged fully and after then you should charge it again until the battery would reach 100%
    I do this with all my batteries; mobile phone battery, digi cam battery and notebook battery.

  • Question regarding homehub and Open reach router -...

    Hi all,
      I had infinity installed earlier this month and am happy with it so far. I do have a few questions regarding the service and hardware though.
      I run both my BT openreach router and BT Home hub from the same power socket. The problem is, if I turn the plug on so both the Homehub and Openreach Router start up at the same time, the home hub will never get an Internet connection from the router. To solve this I have to turn the BT home hub on first and leave it for a minute, then start the router up and it all works fine. I'm just curious if this is the norm or do I have some faulty hardware?
      Secondly, I appreciate the estimated speed BT quote isn't always accurate, I was quoted 49mbits down but received 38mbits down - Which I was happy with. Recently though it has dropped to 30. I am worried this might continue to drop over time. and as of present I am 20mbits down on the estimate . For the record 30mbits is actually fine and probably more than I would ever need. If I could boost it some how though I would be interested to hear from you.
    Thanks, .

    Just a clarification: the two boxes are the HomeHub (router, black) and the modem (white).  The HomeHub has its own power switch, the modem doesn't.
    There is something wrong if the HomeHub needs to be turned on before the modem.  As others have said, in general best to leave the modem on all the time.  You should be able to connect them up in any order, or together.  (For example, I recently tripped the mains cutout, and when I restored power the modem and HomeHub went on together and everything was ok).
    Check if the router can connect/disconnect from the broadband using the web interface.  Leaving the modem and HomeHub on all the time, go to http://192.168.1.254/ on a browser on a connected computer, and see whether the Connect/Disconnect button works.
