Help for a British NTL internet user.

Hello guys, my powerbook takes the internet wirelessly from an Airport Express station that is connected (via ethernet) to a old desktop pc. Such pc takes the internet from a blue little device which I have been told to be an sort of modem. The NTL set box, which is in another room, is attached with a long cable to that blue device.
I was wondering if I can install some sort of modem-router in order to provide both computers with internet connection independently from one another. As you know, the pc has to be on for me to have internet in my mac.
Also, I feel that sometimes the simple usage of the pc interferes with my internet connection (which I use a lot iChat videoconferences and needs to be optimum).
Having said all that I mean to ask if any of you know what device should I get.
I know that our household internet speed is supposed to be 3Mb, but I feel nothing close to that in my PB. The pc browses the internet way faster.
Please help.
Thank you.

Does the blue box have a make/model on it ? It sounds like it might be a router of some sort as the set-top-box usually has an ethernet output on it.
You could always add a wireless card to the desktop PC and have the Airport plugged into the NTL line and have the Airport share the connection for you and both computers would access the net wirelessly through the Airport Express without needing either computer to be on.

Help for a female non logic user!

Hi all, I've posted this in here in the hope that all you Logic users will be able to help.
I have a MacBook Pro and I want to play a movie from it to my v. old TV (PAL).
I have seen that you can get the DVI to Video Adapter from the Apple Store. If I look at the description for the Apple DVI to Video Adapter is says I can use on a MacBook Pro but no mention of PAL. If I look at the Apple PAL DVI to Video Adapter it mentions PAL but no compatibility with a MacBook Pro.
So can I use either?
If I can what cables do I need from the adapter to the back of my TV/DVDr?
Don't want to buy an AppleTV or an expensive projector.
Would much appreciate your help.
Hayley

Hi, Hayley. I had another thought later. Could you burn the movie to a DVD and use a player to watch it? The burn folder [partof the mac os] will do it, but a more sophisticated program is called toast. That will burn cds, dvds, etc, but it costs money. In Australia its about $180. I'm not sure whether you could load the origianl file into Idvd or imovie, but they might be cheaper, easier options, but I'm not sure if they're applicable cos I don't know exactly what you're doing. Apart from toast, all the others I've mentioned come with OS X, so they're free. Better on the wallet! If I can think of anything else, I'll write some more. All the best. Scorpii.

I need help for all you wise Mac users... please

Yesterday, my beloved Mac started acting strangely. Just before that, I uploaded some photos my daughter emailed to my yahoo address. I placed the 8 photos in IPhoto, then tried to go back to Pogo.com where I spend most of my puter time. (Pogo is very Java-based, so I empty the cache, delete cookies and temp files regularly.) Pogo home page just barely loaded, very slow, and none of the games would open. When I tried to stop a game from loading, it froze. I finally had to Force Quit Safari.
In the past when Safari has acted up, the first, and most times the last thing I do is repair disk in Disk Utility. That did nothing to help this new problem. So I came here and started following suggestions I found. So far (with no luck fixing the problem) I have:
1. Made sure Javascript is enabled in Safari/Pref/Security. It was.
2. Trashed cookie.plist, then restarted Safari
3. Trashed Safari cache folder in Library/Caches/Safari, then restarted Safari
4. Booted from Install disk, repaired HD in Disk Utility (disk was fine, verified no problems)
5. Did the Apple Hardware test, that was fine (thank goodness!)
6. Installed Shiira to see if it had the same slow, hang, freeze that Safari has. It does. So, in fact, does Firefox.
I'm sure there were a few other things I tried, but can't remember them now. What the heck is going on with my browsers? And how can I fix them? Help, please.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You have done your homework but perhaps it's the Safari preference file... they can become corrupted. Locate this file; com.apple.safari.plist
It's here: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to your Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it still acts up, drag that com.apple.safari.plist file to the Trash. It's the culprit. Reboot your iBook. And your Mac will create a new Safari.plist file for you. You will have to reset your Safari preferences but it just might do the trick.
If this doesn't do the trick, post back. ** You will get more feedback... just be patient.

Help for a rookie 3120 Classic user please

Just purchased a 3120 classic. wish I had checked here first as the backlighting thing (or lack of) is really annoying. My question is - are you able to set a signature on your outgoing text messages? my very old Sanyo allowed me to have my name automatically at the end of all texts I sent, which I found convenient. Thanks in advance for your help.

You can't do that but you can compromise by creating and saving message template with your name at the end and creating all your messages from that template but I don't think you can set a shortcut to the template itself for your standby screen so getting to the the point where you actually start typing in your messages will now be a few extra clicks
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Help for a furstrated new Motion user...

Hi,
FCS2 arrived the other day, and im fine with FCP6 and the other stuff, but Motion 3 is really confusing me. I have never used motion before, so it is all new to me. I know FCP inside out, so hopefuly some of the knowledge I have from FCP will apply to motion.
Any essential tips you could give me that might help the whole system click into place in my head?
I desperatly want to get good at motion, as I am currently working on a video for Heathrow Terminal 5, and it would be great to be able to use some custom motion graphics for the video...
Thanks for any help,
Pete.

Well what Is a title sequence of sorts, and some lower thirds and cut sequence graphics that are all around a central theme.
Some 3D stuff would be good but to be honist anything would be good. I wanted to do a lower third with a cuban cigar, and I have a freind who is a product photographer who can take a proper photo of a cigar, its just animating it in a way that is interesting and not so simple that I look under-skilled!
I dont suppose there is anyone in the UK, south east, near Maidenhead and High Wycombe that could give me lessons?!

Help for technically challenged powermac G3 user?

Hi,
My last entry gained no response.. So, I'll try again. My OS 8.6 has become obsolete in this faster paced world. I am in the need of at least X to use my new Epson 4490 photo scanner. It is also recommended I upgrade/update to Mozilla, safari, or?? for better access on the internet.
My dilemia: finding a trustworthy ebay(er) with 9. then 10.whatever.. and is "classic" something else entirely? A mac tech. told me; it would be around 3-4 hundred to build a DVD-rom and install: with/ purchase Tiger, and purchase more memory. But this is where I get confused...Will I lose my CD-rom, and Zip drives in the process? And, will I no longer, with ease, be able to use my design software: (yes, they are outdated.. but still work fine)? And, since I am obviously not very tech.savy; will I be causing myself alot of issues along the way with old software vs newer OS's/X that will drive me crazy. I just want to create!
It has been said buy a new computer ! This isn't ALWAYS the best solution IS IT? Thanks for Reading...signed Hold Out
powermac G3 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

Hi, short -
...and is "classic" something else entirely?
Not for your machine. Classic is a full install of OS 9.1 (or 9.2.1 or 9.2.2). When the machine is booted to OSX, OS 9 can be used in the Classic mode; in that mode it runs as a program in order to provide an environment in which many OS 9 programs can be run.
The OS 9 install remains bootable as an OS - you can choose to switch the one you are booted to simply by selecting the other in Startup Disk, then restarting the machine.
A mac tech. told me; it would be around 3-4 hundred to build a DVD-rom and install: with/ purchase Tiger, and purchase more memory.
The Mac tech is a bit misinformed, or uninformed, about the need for a DVD drive. Yes, Tiger (OSX 10.4) comes on DVDs - and your machine does not have a bootable DVD drive. However, the DVDs can be exchanged for a set of CDs - there's a link to arrange that in the upper middle of this page -
http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/requirements.html
The published minimum RAM requirements for Tiger is 256MB - that's doable, but a bit low realistically. If you plan on continuing to use your OS 9 apps (and not replacing them with OSX-native ones), you will be using Classic - for that, a realistic minimum is 512MB of RAM. Your B&W G3 can use up to 1.0GB of RAM.
Will I lose my CD-rom, and Zip drives in the process?
It should not be necessary to remove either.
And, will I no longer, with ease, be able to use my design software: (yes, they are outdated.. but still work fine)?
Don't know - that depends on the software. Many OS 9 programs will work fine in Classic; some may not, and then the option is to either replace them with OSX-native versions, or reboot the machine into OS 9 to use them.
...will I be causing myself alot of issues along the way with old software vs newer OS's/X that will drive me crazy.
Don't know - depends a lot on your ability to learn. OSX is a new OS - it is not built on the same core as OS 9 and the earlier Mac OS's were. Lots of things are done differently as far as the OS is concerned. As long as you accept that it is a new OS, and not a fancy upgrade of OS 9, you should be okay after you get used to it.
As far as purchasing OS 9 goes, make sure that you get a retail OS 9 Install CD - those have a white label with a large gold 9 on them. Other CDs are model-specific, and will not work on your machine.
You can get any version retail OS 9 Install CD, then update it as needed using download updaters. However, if your time and effort is worth something, you'd probably be better off getting a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD (there is no retail OS 9.2.2 Install CD) - once installed, that OS would need very little, if any, updating.
You can often get retail OS 9 Install CD's at sites like these -
http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/index.html - Apple Reseller
http://www.applerescue.com/
EBay is another possibility.
Regardless of the source, be sure to get a retail OS 9 Install CD - those are white, with a large gold 9 on them; the retail OS 9 Install CD's have a universal installer; model-specific Install CD's do not.
In case you need the updaters -

Article #120030 - Mac OS 9.2.1 - Download and Info
Article #75186 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Download and Info
Comments -
Important - make sure the firmware on your machine has been updated before installing OS 9. You can get that firmware update via a link in this article -
Article #86117 - Firmware Updates
Be sure your RAM is good. You can download and run DIMM First Aid to verify it.
Be sure you have sufficient space available on your hard drive. OSX 10.4 (Tiger) needs about 3GB to install. OSX runs best when there is at least 5GB free space on the drive (it needs that to use as file swap space, for its implementation of virtual memory, and to automatically defragment files on-the-fly). So, be sure you have about 8GB free space on the drive before installing OSX.

Dual display help for a recently converted mac user

I have a 24" Intel IMac and I wanted to set up dual displays. I may have jumped the gun a little because I didn't do much homework but I found a big cheap monitor at Best Buy which is an HP w2338. I bought that and the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. I hooked everything up and both monitors work but I have a couple small issues that I can't seem to find how to fix. First, I have about a 1.5 inch strip along the left side of my hp monitor that isn't used at all. It is just a black strip that taunts me. When I drag things from my IMac to my HP it drags fine, but it just acts like the monitor is smaller than it is. The resolution on my IMac is set to 1680x1050 and on my HP it is 1920x1080. Second, I have very faint vertical stripes in my new HP monitor. They can be seen the best in the grey parts of my windows. Any help with either issue would be greatly appreciated.

On your 24-inch iMac's screen, the native resolution is 1920x1200. You can use a lower resolution, but the display will seem a bit fuzzy (the pixels are being approximated). So you should use 1920x1200 on the iMac's screen, unless you have a good reason to use something else.
On the HP display, it sounds like the native resolution is 1920x1080. That's the resolution of an HDTV, so it should work. However, when you connect an HDTV, it connects with a digital connection, HDMI. So I think it will work if you connect it HDMI. If that monitor happens to have DVI, use DVI.
If it only has VGA and HDMI, there was a recent topic that was very similar (same display I think). Is your iMac the older model (not the brand new 2009 model) with a Mini-DVI port? If so, take a read there to see if the information is applicable to your situation.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9247482
Now, if that display you have is different, and it has a DVI connector, please post back.

Help for transfering data from one user' all tables to another

Hello guys,
I have trim the extra sizes of columns in almost all tables of my database. Before doing this, I saved the data of tables by creating another user "User1" with the same objects and importing dmp file in it. After this I cleared my original objects and reduced the extra sizes of columns alomost in all tables.
Now I want to transfer data from backup user "User1" into my original user's "User" tables.
Can any one guid me with the way of doing so, so that I could do it just through 3 or 4 lines of code instead of individualy table wise transfering the data...??

Help Menu Quits when using Internet Connect

When a new user account (with admin. priveleges) is opened, the help menu functions perfectly. After connecting to the Internet (modem) the help menu will not function. (can't get any response on any underlines or ? window). I've tried the file deletions suggested in theXlab document, checked the internet connection using "ping' report with no luck. No 3rd party add-ons. I can use any program and return to help and it is operable, until I connect to the internet.
To again get to help, I must create a new user account. This restores the help for tryouts until invoking internet connect. Using OSX 10.4.5. Any suggestions. Apple phone support is referring this to some tech support person.
Am I alone with this problem???

Need help for record deletion from custom table

Hi friends
I have to write a custom program which will be generic to delete any table record with date field.
This program needs to be generic (should be able to delete records from any custom table) in nature with selection screen parameters as:
Table Name and Number of Days prior to which records are deleted, both mandatory.
Program Flow:
1.     From number of days calculate date before which records are deleted, ( current date u2013 no. of days = past date).
2.     Custom table have date field, delete records prior to that date.
3.     Program may be scheduled for background job, put default values for both fields. No. of days should not be less than 60.
4.     Classical Report output with number of records deleted.
My query is how will I know the name of the Date field so that I can write a DELETE query.
If I use 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET' it gives me all field names but how to filter out?
with regards
samikhya

Hi
I have added field on the selection screen as p_fieldname and got the F4 help for it , so that the user will get the field name run time as per the table name.
Now I am facing problem while writing the DELETE query.
I wrote like
DELETE (fp_tab)
where (fp_fieldname) LE date
It is not working. I also tried with taking a string to concatenate fp_fieldname, LE and date to l_string
when I write like this:
DELETE (fp_tab)
where (l_string) , sy-subrc is getting 4 and no records are getting deleted.
I do not understand where the dynamic Delete is failing??

CLM How to add search-help for extension field(New Company Field) in MA.

Hi all,
Based on demand,I need to extend a new field(Company) in Master Agreement.
But I do not know how to add search-help for this field,just like User Accont page.
Anyone can help me ?thank you very muck.
Regards,
JackyCheng

Hello Jacky,
To combine all the answers above and have a topic-based reply please go through the below steps:
#1. Inactivate the current extension field Company (I see it is actually a String value and this is not what you want to have)
#2. Go to Setup -> System Setup -> Extension Reference Types
Check if you already have a Company reference type
If not, create a new Extension Reference Type for Class Company. Fill in all required information.
#3. Create a new Extension Attribute
Select Data Type: Object Reference
Now you can add the Company type as reference

Restriction of input help for BPS exit variables

Hello,
In BPS 3.0b, I created BPS variables with user exit in order to restrict the values in the <b>input help</b> of a characteristic (related to the value selected by user of another variable for example).
In IP, I know that BPS variables are not used anymore and we have to create BI variables. But I don't know how to restrict the values of an input help in BI. I tried with the user exit RSR00001 but I didn't manage.
may be is there a possibility to reuse BPS variables ?
Thank you for your Help.
Catherine Bellec.<b></b>

Hi Catherine,
could you please show me a sample how to restrict the input help for a variable in the user-exit?
Thank you in advance.

Need help for creating sharepoint sites for both internet and intranet users

We would like to know what is the best approach to create SharePoint sites for our customers(internet users) and internal employees(intranet users) on the same SharePoint server. Here is the scenario:
1) A customer posts a document from internet.
2) This triggers a approval workflow that can only be accessed and executed in the intranet environment. This approval process requires approval's possible modifications to the customer's document.
3) We would like the customer not to able to check the approval state and the modified document until the document is fully approved and finalized.
We are pondering if we need to create two sites, one site for customer and the other site is for internal approvers. Or one site is possible. It also looks like we need to somehow copy customer's original document to intranet site and triggers the workflow.
Any design ideas are helpful. Thank you advance!

Hi Jason,
Though it is perfectly possible to have both intranet and internet on the server, it is not a recommended practice. Having both on the same server would have multiple problems, instead me detailing it out, here is a forum thread on which Trevor had given
enough reasons -
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9b550c33-6f5f-4cd9-8762-8ff389b747d9/sharepoint-2013-one-farm-to-host-intranet-extranet-internet?forum=sharepointadmin
If you have valid reason to go with single server, then you can also explore email enabled lists as one option and another one would be using custom sharepoint designer workflow.
you can also try using event receivers to send documents to intranet site from internet site, process everything and update the document in the internet site.
Hope this helps!
