I really want to get this laptop soon, but I'll be so irritated if I tried to install arch on it and it doesn't work. Thank you for your help.

Well, from the 'first look' reviews (there's a first look review dated today!), it seems to be a brand new model, which means there won't be many folks who have tested it. It depends on what you mean by 'work' as well. Arch is almost sure to install a basic system, but things like suspending, cpu speed changes, and wifi usually take some work on most distros in my experience. One thing to do is to google for some of the components to see if linux users have had success. Two important ones are the video card and the wireless card. If those look good, then give it a try. You might need to work at it a bit, but I usually manage with help from the forums You could even write up your experience on a wiki so that others can benefit from your experience...

Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

Hi I have just upgraded my computer to Mac OSX 10.6.7 now I cant open my FCE 4. Message reads, Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Im syncing my iphone to itunes because i cant unlock the phone due to water damage so that i can take what is on it and put it on a new phone. how can i ensure that everything was taken from the phone and where can i find it in itunes?

my phone recently suffered water damage so that the screen does not reigster when i slide to unlock. I am sycing the data from the phone onto itunes so i can put it onto a new phone. How can i ensure that i took everything off of the old phone before i restore it and where can i find all of that stuff when i sync with the new phone?

iTunes will only store a back up of the iPhone and you find this by following the steps below:
Windows
Edit>Preferences>Devices
Mac
iTunes>Preferences>Devices
The link below can show you what is stored in an iTunes back up:

How do I ensure that Firefox will ALWAYS open a new tab instead of a new window?

My prefs are set to “open new windows in a new tab instead” of a new window but exporting a page from another application always opens the page in a new window instead of a new tab. This is particularly unproductive when building and comparing multiple web pages.

Thank you again Silkphoenix and cor-el for a fast and simple workaround. I was in full vertigo mode on the developers page, and couldn't find anything that I could figure out how to adapt on the command line page, so “tab tag” will do nicely until something else comes along.
You are very welcome, Silkphoenix, but don't be so sure that a name has to have anything at all to do with the nature of a business. I made a nice living as a B2B ad agency for huge concrete producers and military contractors while doing business as “Churchmouse”. I foolishly changed my d/b/a after the emcee choked on the name when I was about to address a marketing group of 25 $50M businesses in Toronto--completely forgetting that I already had the account! All worked out well with the new, more professionally evocative name, but I wish that I had kept the old name too. So go get yours now! But also be aware that someone who trademarks and uses the name after you can possibly take your domain away from you through an agency called WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) in Switzerland. I'm not an attorney, so this is just business advice: WIPO is a good organization that provides a much needed and very valuable service, but it can sometimes hurt, so USE the name that you buy as a domain...

How do you ensure that what I typed in the Phone number must be an 8 digit number?

Hi all,
I am now creating a text box that allows a person to type in an 8 digit phone number according to my country's specifications. If a person types in a single digit, how do I have a validation check to ensure that he has to type in 8 digits? Under Validation Pattern, I typed in 99999999 but the person can still type in a single digit and still pass through! It will only validate when a person types in more than 8 digits.
What gives?
Thanks for reading!

Again, I use code to check the string against a regular expression. My expressiong validates that a string contains valid US phone pattern. Ex. (999) 999-9999 or (999)999-9999 or 1234567890
Here's my function that I put in a script object called scoAllScripts:
function validateUSPhone(strValue) {
DESCRIPTION: Validates that a string contains valid
US phone pattern.
Ex. (999) 999-9999 or (999)999-9999 or 1234567890
PARAMETERS:
strValue - String to be tested for validity
RETURNS:
True if valid, otherwise false.
var objRegExp = /(^\d{10}$)|(^$[1-9]\d{2}$\s?\d{3}\-\d{4}$)/;
//check for valid us phone with or without space between
//area code
return objRegExp.test(strValue);
Here is the code that I put in the Exit event of my phone number field:
if (!this.rawValue == "") {
if(!xfa.form.FSOrder.PAGE1.variables.scoAllScripts.validateUSPhone(this.formattedValue)) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a telephone number including area code in the format '1234567890' or '(999) 999-9999'");
Hope that helps.
If you need more help with field validation (i.e, more regular expressions), you can easily find RegExpr pages using a Google search.

I bought a magic mouse today, they told it would work with the new iPad, I can't get it to work for me, does anyone know how or if it works?

I bought a magic mouse, was told it works with the iPad, how can I get it too?

A mouse, which is a pointing device, will not work with an iPad...there is no cursor for the mouse to move around. You must use the touch screen.

How can I ensure that Adobe Encode will find the files Adobe Premier creates

I can't export video audio sequence.
I invoke the "Export" function and Adobe Encoder starts.
When I click on the "Start Queue" button the Adobe Encoder fails and gives the following message.
- Source File: C:\Users\stan\AppData\Local\Temp\road walk-1_2.prproj
- Output File: C:\Users\stan\Videos\Sequence 01.3gp
- Preset Used: 3GPP 176 x 144 H.263
- Video:

- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 02:14:39
9/29/2014 5:44:22 PM : Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
When I check for the location of the source as noted in this message there is no source there.
The Adobe Premier application saved the project in another location.
How do I overcome this problem and get the save location for the project to be the same as the source location for the Adobe Encoder

It's not always as clear where the program's putting things as you might hope. At setting PrPro to export, check the entire line of material it thinks it is exporting for accuracy. (Often it may choose say, the workbar or a couple clips when I thought I'd exported a whole sequence.) When AME first pops up, do check in the line for the export, the complete file-name it has for everything. I've found quite often it has decided for some reason to either grab something that isn't what I intended to export or is putting it say where it put something 2 exports back. Had I not caught those, I'd have been totally clueless also.
I hope this helps ... if not, well, gremlins are nasty little buggers to deal with ...

Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area) you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.! Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F = Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

I tried every single procedure to get my iPhone 5 turn on but none would work including the hard restart (for over 2 minutes, that's how much I'm desperate), connecting it to itunes, connecting it to a dock, everything! ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO?

If nothing else is working you can try to put it into recovery mode and restore it that way. Plug in you cable to your computer and make sure your phone is off...hold the home button while you plug the cable into your phone, continue holding the button until a logo pops up showing itunes and cord going towards it, then you can let go of your home button and itunes will prompt you that it detects a phone in recovery mode and make you restore it

How do I ensure that, /sapsll/prcts~guid_pr is same as /sapsll/prcon~gui

Hi
Please review the query below, this is from one of the report at work.
How do I ensure that, /sapsll/prctsguid_pr is same as /sapsll/prconguid_pr.
Or in other words, how do I ensure or know that they both means the same.
select *
from /sapsll/prcon
INNER JOIN /sapsll/prcts
    ON /sapsll/prctsguid_pr = /sapsll/prconguid_pr
      into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_product_class.
Edited by: Sivanantham kandan on Aug 26, 2008 2:49 PM

SY-DATUM is not part of the table , so it is not possible to do that. but you can do that in reverse.
INNER JOIN /sapsll/ctsnum as a
ON a~guid_ctsnum = /sapsll/prcts~guid_ctsnum
AND a~DATAB le sy-datum   you can do this....
AND a~DATBI   ge sy-datum
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_product_class_temp
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_product_class
WHERE /sapsll/prcon~congr IN sp$00017"

When a cd is not recognised by gracenote data base, how do you ensure that it dowloads all together in recently added. I am trying to download a nn 8 disk compilation and itunes is putting all track 1/track2 etc together

i am trying to download a compilation of 8 cds which are not recognised by gracenote database. how do I ensure that the disks download seorately. My last try had all track 1/2/3 together rather than 1 - X in each cd

Perhaps it would be helpful for you to view the page source code of this page

As you can see, the submenu code links are immediately below the top level code, and are
wrapped in their own <UL> </UL> tag pairs.
Hope that helps

Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?
