How I stopped the dreaded "Mooing" sound on my MacBook. (possible solution)
So I am probably not the last one on this forum to find the dreaded mooing sound on their brand new laptop!
Yes, I do love my Macbook and it's quite and upgrade from the 15" PowerBook that I came from,(better screen, faster),.. but the day I received the laptop, I had this "moo" sound start. Initially, I thought it was someone snoring in my apparentment, but I can hear it again and again everyday in a quite room..
So I tried and tried many things to make the moo sound stop..
* Slowing down the processor by running it as "Better battery life"
* Unpluggin the AC adapter and lowering the screen res.
All to no avail. As you can see with my computer, it will probably run a bit hotter since the 7200rpm drive is in there.
Noneoftheless, I went to Apple store and asked the genius bar in the flagship store in SF about it and they knew about the problem, but could not give me a definitive answer to fix it.
So, this is what I tried...
Opened up PhoneBooth (yes, the built-in) iChat program and started up the recording mode so it would trace every movement of me. Then the mooing almost stopped, if not stopped totally.
I am currently running on AC Adapter with power settings set to "Better Performance" and the mooing has almost stopped. (I say almost since it only moos 1 time every min)
Hope this may work until Apple releases some sort of fix to resolve this..
Please post your results here..
Cheers,
Wilson
I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
Thank you very much!
Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
-Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

Hi,
I need to make the water coming from the shower, when shower is clicked.
And the water should stop after 5 seconds.
The code is below.
The water is flowing nicely. But I do not manage to stop it.
I added a timer, which starts when the shower is clicked. And should stop the waterflow after 5 seconds have passed.
With the lines
if (stop = true)
break;
trace("break");
it looks like the for loop is breaking right from the start, from the first second. But not completely, somehow 1 or 2 drops are flowing.
Without these lines nothing is happening when the time is over (5 seconds from clicking the shower). Water is just flowing.
Can someone help? How to stop the water flowing after 5 seconds and clean of the array and stage from the waterdrops?
Many thanks in advance!

How to stop the internal batch session
Hi ,
How to stop the internal batch session, which is triggered from the program.
When I execute the program, there is an batch session, which starts processing in parallel with the program, and causes an error message for the program, so the further process is affected.
I tried finding the session through the Transactions - SM35, SM37. However, I could find any session in my name.
However, when I try thro SM04, I could find an session with the same error message. But I am not able to end the session.
Pleas advise.
Thanks,
cartesian.Go through transaction SM50. In case you have more than one application server (transaction SM51 will show) you can also use SM66 which will show all running processes on all application servers.
With SM50 you will only see the process running if it is running on the same application server you are logged on to.
Mark the process and use menu 'Program/Session - End Session' or 'Process - End with or without Core'
Hope that helps,

How to stop the auto-start of log reader agent (replication) right after my database is restored?
I have the scenario where the SQL server is restored (after migration).
This database has transactional replication set-up on one of the databases. When I do a manual delete and restore of the database, I see that the replication starts right after the publisher and subscriber are restored.
Replication agents should not start and run before the integrity checks are completed. How to stop the replication from auto starting right after the migration?
Thanks in advance - JebahThanks Pradyothana, I have disabled the logreader, distribution agents through sp_update_job in Tsql script. I have also verified that there are no pending transactions to be replicated to the subscriber, I see that the job is still being executed. Is there
any other way to disable the jobs?
Steps I followed
Started with a Working publication and subscription
Disabled the jobs (log reader and distribution agents)
Backed up publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Deleted the publication, subscription, publisher and subscriber
Restored the publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Enabled the jobs and executed sp_replrestart
Observations/Issues
Replication does not work
Replication monitor does not show any error
Jobs are shows as enabled but not started in job monitor
Not able to start/stop the log reader and synchronization manually.
I am not sure if I have missed something while restoring the db.
Thanks in advance -
How to stop the running infospoke

there is a infospoke is still running so long time, it's incorrect, i'll cancel it as kick off the dependenies, i have no idea to how to stop the running infospoke. Anybody could tell me how to do it. thanks in advance.hi denny,
Go to SM37 , find the job , stop the process
or
To stop the job find the job with the help of the request name ( TC - SM37 ),then in the job Details find the PID .
find the process in the process Overview (SM50 / SM51 ).
Set the restart to NO and Cancel the process without core
u can also see these threads that are already posted:
stopping v3 run job LIS-BW-VB_APPLICATION_02_010
how to cancel or change the background job which is scheduled
In SM37, for the job , click on Step button. Then from the menu Goto > variant. You can see the process chain name here.

How to stop the Dialog from being dragged
I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
while a dialog is showing.
When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
... code here ...
As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame. -

How to stop the message "press 1 for ..."
Hello, while I'm at it...does anyone know how to stop the instructions that get attached to my outgoing voicemail message? You know, the one that says, press 1 for __, press 2 for __, press * to send a fax.....in my old phone (also with Verizon) it didn't have that message.
Thanks all!I took this problem to a genius. He removed the SIM card and added a new "blank" card from AT&T. Using this SIM we went to setting an turned cellular data off. Then we put the Apple SIM back in the machine. Now you can turn off the cellular so you will no longer get the messages. To end this practice, sign up with a carrier. Just click the button in the Settings... menu.

How to stop the background job "Sap_collector_for_job_statistic"
Dear All,
Kindly let me know how to stop the Background job "Sap_collector_for_job_statistic" which is running everyday.
We want to stop this background job.
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
MullairajaSelect the Job using SM37 transaction. In the Menu Choose
Job ---> Cancel Active Job.
Before you do this it may be good idea to check the pid using SM50.
It will be using a Background work process. Check the pid and the status.
Select the same and in the Menu Choose Process --> Cancel with Core.
Refresh and check in SM37 for the Active and Cancelled Jobs. -
HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?
HI ALL,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING DAILY AT 5.00 PM. I NEED TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RESTART IT AGAIN.
cAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROCEDURE TO STOP THE ENTIRE PROCESS CHAIN RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION.
THANKS
HARITHAHi,
First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
For Rescheduling
RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
For terminating active chain
You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.
