Heat, whine and returns

hey all. I got my macbook pro a few weeks ago, i've noticed the whine. I've also noticed it gets incredibly hot, so hot i can't touch the area above the F keys. So this lead me to do a hardware test, low and behold i have the hardware error.
Should i get it repaired now or should i wait? i was thinking of waiting til i go on holdiday and get it repaired then so i don't miss out on my MacBook goodness!!
Sam

If you call, however, you get the errors logged. They send you out a prepaid box and you have almost a month to actually USE the box before the postage expires.
The upside - you get your errors logged before any important dates pass, Apple gets a better view of how many people have issues, and you can hold onto yours until some start coming back fixed.
The downside - 10 minutes lost on the call.

Interesting Stuff about Heat, Whining, and CPU

This whining noise with my new macbook pro has had me (and many others) stumped. I still havent found a solution, but I've gathered some interesting data with a great program found here: http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html.
First, for those more worried about the heat, new MacBook Pros do not seem to have a heat problem (at least mine doesn't). Mine runs cooler on my lap than on my desk for some weird reason though. About 50 C on the desk and 40 or so on my lap. (I had posted in another topic that the laptop felt hotter on my lap, but after letting the unit sleep for awhile, then running it on my desk and then on my lap, Bresink's temperature monitor confirms the temperatures, which could be due to the vent design or my owning a crappy desk lol.)
Second, the System Information window shows my MacBook Pro as being manufactured on 4/14/06, so new revisions obviously did not fix the whining issue.
Third, the System Information window reports that the CPU does NOT have variable speed (***?) and shows it to be running at 1.83 ghz all the time regardless of power management settings or AC/battery power. Anyone else find this strange? Both the nominal CPU clock and the actual CPU clock are always at 1.83 ghz according to this program.

Another interesting information about the whine and why it, for some of the users who have a whining MBP, didn't occur on WinXP SP2:
MS KB918005 "Battery power may drain more quickly than you expect on a Windows XP SP2-based portable computer" ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918005/en-us )
After applying this fix, which fix a power drain due to bad power management in WinXP SP2, a user reported on onmac.net forum ( http://forum.onmac.net/showthread.php?t=1214 ) that his MacBook Pro started to whine on WinXP.
This confirm what said the former intel engineer who posted on this forum at the beginning of the talks about this issue. This fix will also likely make other notebook PCs whine.
So apparently MacOS X do manage the power correctly, and the fact that the whine didn't appear on WinXP SP2 was because of not using the CPU power states in which the whine appear (C4 power state for example). So the fact of no whine under WinXP SP2 on MacBook Pro was because of a bug in WinXP SP2 CPU power management states.
So apparently the former intel guy who posted here was right and so if we assume that all what he said was right, then he also said that there is not hardware way to be sure that all computer produced are whine free (because of the nature of the components used), but that, by using component of better quality, it can be reduced for the units which are unluckily not whine free.
Considering that thing, it's unlikly that a software update can remove the whine issue without reducing the battery life, and as latest user report seems to indicate that the recents series of MBP have a quieter whine, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PEOPLE WHO DO HAVE A LOUD WHINING MBP TO SEND IT TO APPLE, IN ORDER TO GET THE LOGIC BOARD REPLACED BY A RECENT ONE!

HELP: I need to link a PDF within PDF and be able to open and return to original PDF

I have a master PDF and have attached 7 supplemental PDF documents. I created "click here" icons and used the steps below so that the linked document would open. The problem is, once I open the supplemental PDF, it closes the original master. I would like to close the linked document and return to the master view. Is there a way to do this?
Or is there a way to do this from InDesign? I created master file in InDesign and exported as an Interactive PDF. I created the buttons and linked them to external files. This works great as long as the master PDF and the links are all in one file, but that is a pain to send to a viewer. Ideally, I want to be able to send the master PDF to a viewer and not have to send a links folder. Is there a way to embed the supplemental PDFs into the master so that they are all combined into one file AND have the ability to use buttons to call up one of the attachments, close, and return to the original?
Thanks in advance!!

I want to do the same thing that the original poster of this question wants to do. I haven't worked extensively with Acrobat so am finding by trial and error the several ways PDFs within PDFs can be accomplished. I'm using a trial version of Acrobat Pro X and have experimented with three options.
1 - I've created a Portfolio and am impressed with what that can do, though I think it may be "overkill" for the current size of my project.
2 - I've also tried creating this project as an index but discovered that the links I'd created in the original docs didn't work when I moved the index and its contents (keeping the file structure the same). I presume this means the links are absolute? I also don't understand how it is that users search a .pdx file, or how to present what I want to be the original opening PDF of indexed docs.
3 - I've also thought to create one PDF with attached PDFs, so I'd like to have you expand on your comment about creating a master document and attaching documents to it.
The specifics of my project are these: I have created a master directory that contains approximately 120 links. Most of the links are repeated three times (users can find in the directory the item they need in three different ways: alphabetically, by application, or by module; hence each item listed once in each of three categories). I want to make that directory the "master" PDF that users open first, and then locate within that PDF the 5-8 PDF documents that contain all of the places to which the directory links. I want the "master" directory to be self-contained and completely "portable" as far as all of the documents and links are concerned so that when I make the PDF available from our website users can open the master from there or copy it and have all of the docs they need with all of the links intact. I think I prefer that all docs open in new windows, since returning to the original doesn't seem very user friendly in Acrobat (I like the tabs feature in FoxIt when multiple PDFs are open...).
I'd like an opinion about the best way to accomplish what I need to do, and am also wondering whether there are other options I am unaware of. BTW, the reason we've decided to document this whole project in PDFs rather than HTML is because this project contains a big number of tables, which do not look consistent across various browsers (i.e., most of our tables look fine in IE and Firefox, but awful in Google Chrome...). In researching my issue on the Acrobat Windows forum I see that rendering tables in Acrobat is also an issue that seems to be unresolved.
Thank you!

Call RFC Function Module and return 1000 records at a time

I would like to call a Remote Enabled Function Module from a non SAP system. This function module will select data from the database and return it to the calling program.
Suppose there are 100,000 records that need to be returned, but the calling module would like the data in chunks of 1000 records. Therefore the calling program would call the FM 100 times.
How do I code the function module to know on each subsequent call to grab the next chunk of 1000 records?
Let me know if additional information is needed.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hello,
Here is how you can go for this issue:
1. Create one RFC function module with following parameter. These parameters are with respective of chunking logic.
     Import: Package Size
     Export: Total number of records
     Changing: chunk count
Implement following logic:
1. First of you need to know how many chunks you need to fetch for that get the count of total number of records. This is one
    time activity so you better maintain one flag import parameter will be set to 'X' only first call.
2. Get the number of chunk using total number of records / chunk size for e.g. 1000 / 100 so chunk count = 10.
3. Define internal chunk counter in function module which will be used to locate the correct chunk depending on the chunk
    counter value sent from calling program.
4. Send first call with package size 100 and chunk count = 1, execute select statement and increment internal
    chunk count check if chunk count = internal chunk count in current case chunk count = 1 so exit select statement and return
    with first chunk.
5. Send second call with package size 100 and chunk count = 2. Execute select statement and check chunk count with internal
    chunk counter, in current case it will be 1 so skip that data and go for next chunk of 100 records increment internal chunk
    counter. In this case it will match with external chunk count = 2. load output table with that data and return to calling program.
6. Repeat step 4 until you reach last chunk.
You need to use SELECT...ENDSELECT with PACKAGE SIZE addition so for every loop it will return number of records mentioned in package size.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Augustin.

Heating problem and battery backup

Recently I bought a macbook pro (7 days). I am facing heating problem and its battery backup is also not good, 3-4 hrs, but company claims 7 hrs. What should I do?

For more on laptop temperature, look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1778
Take note of this part:
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead,contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago. Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again. You might want to clear your cache before reloading. Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try. Good Luck

HP Envy 15 Heating Issues and Screen Damage

Hello,
This is going to be quite long since I'm going to explain everything in as much detail as possible.
I bought my HP Envy 15 (j123tx) in September 2014 and for three months I had absolutely no issue with it (work wise and gaming wise) until one day I booted up the computer and noticed that a big rectangular portion of the screen (on the top - in the rectangular area that aligns with the touchpad when the lid is closed) was discoloured. Specifically it was much darker than the rest of the screen on a black background and yellow on a white background.
After checking to see if there was anything on the screen's surface, I realized it was a hardware issue and decided to use my warranty (of which I have another 8 months or so remaining). I told the retailers about the issue and they told me it could be because of the pressure applied on the lid (when it is closed) that affects the screen specifically in that area since the touchpad is a bit sunken in to the notebook's body. After expressing my displeasure at how inconvenient that is since I've taken very good care of my notebook and have only transported it in the HP notebook bag, they promised me that they would send it to the HP Service Center in Sri Lanka who would replace the display panel for me (obviously since my notebook is still under warranty).
After 10 working days, I went over to the retailer's warranty center and collected my notebook with the display panel replaced and the problem gone. I did however notice that the technicians had pasted a note next to the touchpad which read "Check the temperature of the touchpad. It could be heating up and damaging the screen". I asked the retailer's technicians what this meant and they told me that since the notebook has a magnesium (or magnesium based) body, it tends to heat up. The heat could also be heating up the touchpad (since that too seems to be made of magnesium). As a result whenever I close the lid of my notebook, the rectangular screen area directly above the touchpad could be heating up and thus getting damaged.
Now this to me seems like a huge product defect. I've been using HP notebooks for more than 8 years and I've never heard of this issue before. I asked the technicians how I could prevent this from occurring again and they told me to use the little cloth that came with the laptop when I bought it that is placed under the lid (between the screen and the keyboard) when the lid is closed.
While using that little cloth doesn't seem to be quite inconvenient, I'm very afraid that the problem will occur again and I'll have to get it fixed again which involves transferring all my data and losing my notebook for 2 weeks which is highly problematic for me as I require it for work. Should the problem occur again outside the warranty period, I feel I may have wasted a good amount of money on this notebook when I trusted HP over its competitors simply due to my past experiences with its reliability, durability and performance.
While I realize this is not a current issue - I would really like to know if this issue has been experienced before (my search did not turn up anything related) and if I do have to be worried about it happening again and if so, how I should go about handling it with the retailers (perhaps I should give it back and ask for a refund for selling me a defective product).
Thank you sincerely.
PS: I have attached a picture of the problem when it occurred for your reference.

Thanks for the prompt reply WeiH.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be an HP Service Center in my country (Sri Lanka). So now I'm really confused as to what my retailer's technicians meant by "we'll send it to the local HP Support Center and have your display panel replaced".
Whatever they did, the display panel has been replaced and I've been using it for less than a week so far with no issues. The touchpad hasn't really been heating up and has in fact been as warm as the rest of the notebook. Perhaps it's because I have now turned on the option of disabling the touchpad whenever an external cursor device is attached (since I primarily always use a mouse).
Needless to say, since we both have no clue as to how the touchpad overheated and damaged the screen (in the exact position and measurement as the touchpad) I feel like it's just a matter of time before it happens again.
Obviously I understand that there's little you can do on your side other than direct me to an HP Support Center. However I hope my worries are justified as I feel that as a consumer I shouldn't have to worry about my brand new product malfunctioning by no fault of my own.

Display and return value in select list.

hi,
i want to display the value in select list coming from this quary .
select student_id from class_record where class_id =:p1_class_id and SECTION =:p1_section
minus
select student_id from STUDENT_TYPE_DETAILS where class_id =:p1_class_id and SECTION =:p1_section;
but i want f_name and last name with student_id .f_name and l_name store in table s_per_det.student is also in that table.
how can i define display value and return value in this quary using 3rd table s_per_det.
How can i do this.
Thanks
manoj

Ooh, MINUS.... Can you not use a NOT EXISTS in this case, could have a big effect on the execution plan?
Something like this perhaps?
SELECT f_name||' '||l_name,
       stundent_id
FROM class_record a,
     s_per_det b
WHERE a.student_id = b.student_id
AND   a.class_id   = :P1_CLASS_ID
AND   a.section    = :P1_SECTION
AND   NOT EXISTS(SELECT 'X'
                 FROM student_type_details c
                 WHERE a.student_id = c.student_id
                 AND   c.class_id = :P1_CLASS_ID
                 AND   c.section = :P1_SECTION)Cheers

Exit out of video and return to stage frame 1

Ive manged to create a flash player that incorporates a video
using a online
tutorial with the code below.
All is working well but at the end of the video I want to
exit out of the
video and return to the stage at frame 1. The reason being
is; before a user
hits play an interface image (containing info) is displayed.
When they hit
the play button the video appears and plays over the
interface image.
problem is at the end of the video the layer containing the
image is still
covered by the video. when the video finishes I need a line
of code to exit
and return the player to the original state without the
presecence of the
video layer.
any ideas? thanks in advance
Brett
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);

playButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.play("modular.flv");
pauseButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
var videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;
ns["onMetaData"] = function (obj) {
duration = obj.duration;
function videoStatus() {
amountLoaded = ns.bytesLoaded / ns.bytesTotal;
loader.loadbar._width = amountLoaded * 200;
loader.scrub._x = ns.time / duration * 200;
var scrubInterval;
loader.scrub.onPress = function(){
clearInterval(videoInterval);
scrubInterval = setInterval(scrubit, 10);
this.startDrag(false,1,this._y,198,this._y);
loader.scrub.onRelease = loader.scrub.onReleaseOutside =
function () {
clearInterval(scrubInterval);
videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
this.stopDrag();
function scrubit() {
ns.seek(Math.floor((loader.scrub._x/200)*duration));

Inside the videoStatus() function Check the Current Time and
Total time for video completion. Some time the Video doesn't have
exact Time when comparing to the Total duration so use Math.floor
to compare. if you still facing problem also check the Buffer
status and Video status too.

How to call an alv report from another program and return back

     Hello ,
I am calling one abap program (Prgm B) from another program (Prgrm A).
Here, Prgm B is an ALV report. I have fetch some data from Prgem B that gets stored in an internal table.
Now, I am using below code in Prgrm A,
SUBMIT Prgrm B VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
                      WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar
                      EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
                      AND RETURN.
When Prgrm A executed, it lead me to selection screen of Prgrm B and when I click F8, it shows me the report output, In short, it doesnt return back to Prgrm A. It ends up showing me the alv report if Prgrm B even afetr using RETURN statement.
I want to get back to Prgrm A by fetching some data from Prgrm B.
Please let me know, if i am missing something.

I am having an issue where safari keeps crashing and returning to the home screen on an ipad1

safari on my ipad1 keeps crashing and returning to the home screen. rebooting does not fix the problem neither has a full reset through itunes from a backup or setting up as a new machine. Cab nay body help?

If restoring from a backup doesn't help, you must have something corrupt in the backup - like a Safari bookmark perhaps - or something in the Safari history. Try the last tip in this list first.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Close Safari and all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. 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.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. 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.

Submit ALV report in Background & exporting list to memory and return

Dear all,
I created one Z program (ZPROGRAM2).
Here i use SUBMIT ZPRORAM1_ALV exporting list to memory and return.
call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'.
call function 'TABLE_COMPRESS' .
ZPRORAM1_ALV output i send mail.
This all are working in foreground.
If i schedule ZPROGRAM2 in background. that SUBMIT ZPRORAM1_ALV statement not working.
Please give me the Solution.
Thanks,
Durai.V

It is because of the ALV output that you are using. Check the condition sy-batch = 'X' (background processing) and then display a classical report. It will work then.
Thanks,
Jayant

Submit program exporting list to memory and return in background

Dear Experts,
I am using the following code in one of my program to get opening and closing stock of a material.
SUBMIT RM07MLBD
         WITH MATNR IN LOC_R_MATNR
         WITH WERKS IN LOC_R_WERKS
         WITH DATUM IN LOC_R_DATE
         WITH PA_SUMFL = WL_X
         AND RETURN
         EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY.
The program is working fine when executed in foreground. however when executed in background the job is cancelled. I tried to debug in background through SM50 and found that the program is terminated(No short dump but debug screen is closed and i dont see this program running in SM50) when the above code is executed.
I found in the forum that when an ALV report is submitted in background it does not work. In my case the standard program is producing an ALV list (not ALV grid though).
How would i avoid this situation because the program i am submitting is a standard program.
What is the best solution to avoid from background jobs being cancelled when the above code is executed. Is there an alternate way that i can use to submit the program and get data.
Thanks in advance.
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
Just excute your standard program with the same input in back ground mode and check
out put is coming or not .
If output is not coming search by sy-batch and make the break points there and Ideantify
the problem.
When you execute the standard program in back ground mode If the output is come it should in your Zreport also.
I tried in my system in background mode also the output is coming for me.
Thnx,
Sam.

Void and return help

whats the difference of using void and using the return?
i used last time the void and return, but the outputs of the two are the same

The two are not in any way related, and there's no context in which you can choose between one and the other.
You're going to have to clarify your question.
Do you know what void means?
Do you know what return does?
If you answered yes to both, then I really have no idea what you're confused about.

How can I remove my new iCloud e-mail and return my MS Outlook Contacts to my PC?

Greetings all,
Just got a new iPhone 5S. Wanted to backup 4s to iCloud so I entered iCloud setup. In going through the iCloud set up process I created an iCloud e-mail account despite having no need for one. It appeared as if it was a necessity ?, I use MS Outlook 2010 for e-mail. iCloud set up requested I create an iCloud e-mail, so i did. I do not need an iCloud e-mail. In the process of setting up the new iCloud e-mail, setup removed all my contacts from Outlook and sent them to the iCloud e-mail account, I assumed that the contacts would be copied, not moved. I no longer have any contacts in Outlook. I would like to remove the new e-mail account from iCloud and ensure that the associated contacts are returned to my PC properly. All the iCloud e-mail help areas I have looked through have not provided any guidance on this issue. Perhpas I only went down ten layers of info and this info is in the 15th layer down? Thanks for any guidance, Apple/PC folks. Craig

This is Craig 237B,
I just found the contacts for my Outlook account hidden in an iCloud folder in Outlook.
I still would like advice to remove my new iCloud e-mail and return Outlook to it's previous state, if someone knows this?
Thanks
Craig
