How stupid do I feel ...?

Time to 'fess up ... red face to the fore ...
I come from what was a pure HP shop, which has Sparc/Solaris 'dumped upon' us (us being a smallish team looking after quite a few servers). Thus, with limited training (we got given what amounted to the Solaris Admin courses being presented to us over 3 days as a HP to Solaris conversion) we did our best.
One of our systems uses Data Protector (what used to be called Omiback) from HP as our backup tool - and very happy with it we are too! However, what it runs on is a Solaris box (this we had to do as the BCV images we backup come from a Solaris box with Veritas Volume Manager and with V3.5 you cannot cross-mount between OS types).
We now get to the nub of the embarrassment - defining the tape library and LTO-2 drives within it was interesting and needed a technical document found on the HP site to give values for st.conf. This was done and off we happily went.
Of late, one of our backups has been increasing almost exponentially and after a look we decided 'something was wrong'. More ferreting and furkling about in areas that none of us were expert in turned up something interesting ... differences in device drivers.
In HP-UX the device file /dev/rmt/2mb (for example) is the same device driver as the /dev/rmt/c?t?d?BESTb one, that gives best compression. <i>As a small aside it is almost impossible in a default HP-UX install to NOT use the compression device file!.</i>
Being total novices with Solaris we just 'plumped' for using /dev/rmt/?mb in Data Protector (the default it provided) for our drives and were just happy it worked.
After the research referred to above we decided that the values we had used in st.conf were good and ok, and that we had done enough to ensure that we should be able to get compression - assuming we picked the right device file to use.
Thus, we changed things, and altered the device file in Data Protector to use /dev/rmt/?cb for the LTO-2 drives. And lo! We get compression (down from using 6 tapes to just 3!).
So, let this be a lesson - especially if you start using a different OS - do not assume that things that look the same, are the same!

Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

How stupid is this code?

Hey I am really trying to improve my code writing- see my last post on for and arrays, but I have written this... its a bit embarrassing how stupid it is, but it works good and I understand how it works, can I use it?   It is for a drag and drop exercise where there is a buttons that checks answers and then two dynamci text boxes that give responses.
Cheers

There are a number of ways you could improve that code. Here are a few..
1) Use of "this" the way you have used it is unnecessary.
2) All nut one set of your pickMe and dropMe functions are unnecessary and one of any one of them could be shared by all the ans objects
3) when using a boolean in a conditional test it is unnecessqary to use == true or == false. A conditionalk evaluates the boolean result oif whatever it contains, so you only need the part that generates the boolean result *ex: if(ans7.hitTestObject(target1)){...
4) Your evaluations at the end could probably all be reduce to testing within the dropMe function by assigning a value to each ans object (1,2,3...)

I give up Mainstage is useless how does everyone else feel?

I'm a working musician and have been using Logic for over 3 years for live performance. Imagine the joy I had last September when I learned that Mainstage was available. I was the first in my town to purchase the upgrade to Logic 8, I quickly installed it, read the manual, did some configuring hoping that mainstage would be the answer I had been waiting for for years.
Well initially I was impressed. There were some problems but I knew Apple would be right on them and a solution would be at hand shortly.
I upgraded to Leopard, had more problems, downloaded all the updates, prokits, etc. etc. had more problems! Called Support, subscribed to all the boards......yada yada yada
Took my Macbook Pro into my dealer got it checked, added more ram, even added a larger internal drive to fit all of Logic 8 on. Bought a cooling desk. Wrote and Apple Script, +*nothing helped*+
It just seemed to get worse
Finally yesterday I had a spare 5 hours so I stripped Leopard off reinstalled Tiger, Logic Studio and the rest of my stuff from scratch believing that the problem was Leopard related, even that didn't work. Mainstage still clicked, popped, puked ..................... pick an adjective.
I've been a loyal Apple customer since 1980 (I had an Apple II Plus) I currently own 3 Macs. I am really disappointed in the support this product has seen from Apple. The loss of faith in this product is apparent by the drop off in messages on all the discussion boards and this is a dangerous thing to a company I believed put it's customers first.
I have decided to give up on Mainstage I will go back to using my synths to play gigs. I feel I have come to the table to try and get Mainstage running unfortunately Apple hasn't
How does everyone else feel............... If there are any of you left out ther

I have voiced my opinion about MainStage since the beginning, thinking that maybe Apple or people who have access to the MainStage developers, would read the posts here and try and get some of these issues resolved.
MainStage is a great program conceptually. Compared to a lot of similar hosting programs out there, it has some nice implementation ideas such as sounds gradually fading out during patch changes so that reverb tails aren't cut off, extensive keyboard splits / layers, etc. and a pretty cool on screen layout for nice feedback during a live gig. There are some things that I wish Apple would have put in the program, like the ability to control external midi hardware.
However, in spite of these great ideas and thoughts, the developers, in my opinion, didn't make sure the program was rock solid as it should be for a live application. If this were a program that you could use and be able to do retakes, make corrections along the way, etc., then these bugs would be accounted for by the user and dealt with. But for a live app, when you are playing in the middle of a song, where you only get one chance to make it right, and the application locks, pops, clicks, etc. in a sporadic and unpredictable fashion, it is absolutely unacceptable.
I agree, most of the people who posted here back in the beginning have stopped because it didn't seem to make any difference. And there is usually a few users who have perfect systems. I have tried various ways to eliminate the unpredictable nature of MainStage but no such luck. Even last night at rehearsal, everthing seemed to be going along fine through the four first songs. I only had about 7 or 8 patches total and my memory usage was at about 30%. Then I change patches so we can start working on song #5. For this song I use a Native Instruments B4 patch (which also was one of two patches used in the previous song I just played). I have used this instrument many times and it has performed very well for the most part except for the occasional CPU spikes. I got about 2/3 of the way through the song and then noticed something ... I had no more sound coming from my instrument. I looked over at my MacBook and to my dismay, it was totally locked up. Needless to say, I wasn't able to finish the song because I had to reboot my machine. I know others may chime in here and ask if I had this configured or that ... and yes I have done all of these ad naseum ... this machine is soley devoted to my music rig, so its not like I am using it for games, word processing and everthing else. The bottom line is, this is another example of how quality control for this app and maybe Leopard in general has gone out the window.
I really like MainStage, I have invested a lot of time setting things up to replace my Logic live rig and have tried to hang in there hoping help would be on the way. I am not even asking for the ability to control external midi equipment (though that would be nice), I would just like to have a dependable piece of software that is made for live use, not just a toy to jam with friends in the Garage.

How Stupid Was I ??? Deleting Time Machine Files

After getting a message that my TM drive lacked enough free space, I impulsively used Finder to delete the oldest back up files (14 months ago). When the Finder didn't show any more free space, I did the old empty Trash. Now after reading through this Discussion board I am wondering if I screwed up.

rjp49 wrote:
Oops screwed up my answer, too. It seems to have done fine but I only have 28.3 GB available out of 465.4 GB. This is for my MacBookPro and I do not back up on an hourly basis but only when my laptop and TM drive are in the same room/time zone. How do I delete files so it will have enough room to easily back up when everything is hooked up?
As V.K. says, TM normally will delete it's oldest backups, automatically, when it needs room for new ones. But it will only do that if you do not have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in TM Preferences > Options.
The deletions you did may have corrupted your backups. Do a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on your TM drive via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder). If it finds errors it can't fix, run it again.
If it fixes any and all errors, your backups may be ok, and you may get some space back.
If it cannot fix them, your best bet is probably to completely reformat the drive and let TM start fresh. See item #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
EDIT: Do not feel stupid. You are far from the first to do this. Apple, unfortunately, does not do a very good job of warning folks not to change, move, or delete things from TM backups except via TM.

Now I have to covert my i tunes to MP-3 formate to insert them into a power point presentation These songs are in my i tunes library on my computer I know how stupid it sounds how to I get them into a file on my computer seperate from my i tunes library

S LIKE i BOUGHT SONGS NOW THERE IN THIS I TUNES LIBRARY THING NOW HOW TO GET THEM INTO A FILE SEPERATE IN MY DOCUMENTS ITS LIKE HOW DO i BREAK INTO THE I TUNES STORE ON MY COMPUTER AND GET THE MUSIC i BOUGHT AND PUT IT INTO MY COMPUTER FILE DOCUMENTS SO i CAN PUT IT INTO POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS AND IN A FORMATE COMPATABLE WITH WINDOWS POWER POINT. I DID IT ONCE SEEMS LIKE I FORGOT THE RECIPE I DID IT WHEN MY KEY BOARD WAS DOWN JUST WITH THE MOUSE I MAILED IN MY LAP TOP GOT THE MUSIC OFF INTO A M-P3 PLAYER GOT IT BACK GOT THE I TUNES CARD DOWNLOADED SONGS NOW THERE TRAPED IN MY I TUNES LIBRARY LOL !!! ???

One way friends of mine have done it....use iTunes to burn a music CD with the songs (presuming it can still do that, haven't tried it in a while)
THen close iTunes and open windows media player. Use that to convet the CD file to MP3 (media player's default is to pull things in as wma, so you may need to change the preferences to mp3, or i'm pretty sure wma's work in power points)
Once media player converts the format you can insert it into your powerpoint.

How to start WebDynpro - Feeling down and lost

Hi guys,
I started working with webdynpro based on ABAP. Its definately nice and I appreciate SAPs tutorials. But they are just the basics and a lot of things are not described.
How can I create a good tree model? SAP online docu has nothing about it. The How-To paper is just for Java.
How to create a ALV with the possibility to enter data? How to assign the header texts of columns dynamically?
Ok, there are examples in SE80. But there is always one mega application handling every single UI component that exists. And then the examples cover so many topics at once that its nearly impossible to really understand a single detail.
These are the questions and topics I have. Having a couple of years experience with ABAP I am used to the fact that online documentation is more or less useless. I think you agree with me that it might also be a benefit to go through a new development topv the hard way and just try and try and try... Thats what we all are used to and thats why we are as good as we currently are.
But honestly, most of the documentation SAP provides is for me at least useless. I would spend much more time and money and help on those guys who write the How-To papers because they do a tremendous good job.
But how did you guys started with WebDynpro? How did you e.g. managed to create your first tree (dynamic etc.). I still wonder where to create the tree-structure in my program and have no clue what the "context" attribute is used for. Somewhere I have to create the hierachy, assign icons etc. like in the old Dynpro-Tree approach.
What do you think? Have I just not found all the documentation I search for? Do I simply have to spend as much time to understand how tree, ALV etc. works in detail like I did some years before in the old dynpro-world?
Regards, Hendrik

Hi Hendrik.
I agree with you that reading the online documentation sometimes let more questions come up than it solves.
You asked how we started with WebDynpro. So I just used the book WebDynpro
for Abap of Ulli Hoffmann which is a good entry to get the basic ideas.
Asking questions here helps a lot too.
But my basic approach was the good old try and error method. But I bet there are
still a lot of things that are possible with WD4A I do not event know abaout.
So as Mohammed mentioned just post your questions and a lot of people here
will surely try to help you.
PS: You also should have a look at the <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP">WIKI</a>. Though it is still in the beginning it might worth a look.
<b>Appeal to all</b>: If you find the time pls submit to the WIKI. There are still a lot of open points. If you find repeating questions here please find a place in the WIKI were you could write a short tutorial how to solve it.
Cheers,
Sascha

How stupid is the new BT Speedtester

Why, Oh Why, Oh Why
Does it stop half way through to prompt me if I want a QOS service test on the latest speedtester - another box to tick!
How even more DARN annoying than asking me to confirm if it's the right number
Are you sure? Are you sure you are sure? UnTick this box if you don't not want to continue.....
Does it cost more for you to do it? Or do you just want to annoy me and not let it just run it's course in another window while I do something else?
Disgusted of Tunbridge

Is there a "check this box if my reply is of no use whatsoever" :-)
The normal one was showing just a blank page
This one http://speedtest.btcentralplus.com/ worked
It did come back and work much later
The point of my post was also - why do we have to have so many check/confirm boxes
PS the question regarding QOS (I know it's for BT Vision thanks) has now gone.
Very Odd

Power book G4 and how stupid I am

I was told when I purchased my G4 , that the key pad lit up , and it doesn't ,any way when I purchased it it had tiger installed , , after about two months my camera was on the fritz so I was using my isight camera with the G4 , unfortunately, I also tried to use the magnetic stand that came with the camera ,and, put it next to the touch Pad , Oh I can hear all the apple poohbahhs giggling already , any way I had to replace the hard drive , and when I got it back it only had Panther , My question is , how much do I have to back up before I reinstall from my ,C.ds that came with ,the computer?
My G5 has tiger , and I guess i like it , and its hard to upgrade programs with out it , i read with frequency here all the problems that can occur , when switching , in adition I have iLife5 ,which I installed with tiger on the G5. as tiger didnt upgrade my iPhoto , and heres one more my G5 came with an installer for iPhoto 5 and up , but when I go to install it , it responds with , you cant you dont have iPhoto5 or higher ,
Whats a gay, creative,consuming ,confused aproaching geek status boy to do ?

Hi, jkevin. Your question is well buried under all the fluff and flourishes, but it sounds as though you may want to erase your new hard drive and install Tiger on it. Is that true? If so, you will first need to back up any files you have on the drive now that can't be reinstalled from original software disks. Generally, that means any files you have created yourself, containing your own data.
If there were other questions in your post, please try to ask them clearly and straightforwardly.

HT4539 I can't find preferences in iTunes? How stupid am I?

I have (I believe) downloaded all updated software requirements to enable auto sync between my devices through iCloud. However, when I go to enable iTunes I cannot access Preferences to do this? I cannot see anywhere to click on Preferences in my iTunes view. Any help would be appreciated.

On a Mac you can open iTunes' preferences via command-comma (or the iTunes drop-down menu at the top of iTunes) - automatic downloads is then on the Store tab on that. On your iOS devices it's in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Store if they aren't on iOS 6_

IBook with dead display (i think)?

Hi, I have an ibook that needs desperate help.
I was having problems with it in October last year with the carbonlib which i posted about here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=738743#738743
Before i managed to try to update the carbonlib it crashed and since october i have been unable to boot the machine at all. I just bought the Dual G4 Powermac before christmas which was just £250 on eBay (bargain of the year) and added ram and got the PCI USB 2.0 card* from a Windoze box runnning in it. OK so now i can fix the iBook (i hope).
All i get is the startup tone and all the regular noises (hard disk, etc) until it attempts to load the grey apple and the spinning icon when all i get on the screen is a brief flash of some dark grey horizontal bars then back to a black screen.
The iBook seems to keep loading for a few seconds after this but then just goes dead with a black screen. I've also tried booting from my original OS install CDs and from my new Tiger DVD but with the exact same results only with CD drive activity for a short while instead of hard disk.
I've tried loading it using the hardware test CD which gets the Screen to flash a second time onto a more solid looking grey screen but again only for a fraction of a second.
I think it looks like the graphics chip is somehome not responding but the resto the machine is fine. ANY suggestions will help as i'm stumped and don't have applecare anymore so its going to be very expensive i suspect.
Thanks
SEB
*(incidentally it is an ALI chipset with three rear ports (on the card) and three front ones which fit nicely in instead of the zip drive. I had massive problems with the card and atatched devices with the supplied drivers, so i did an archive and install and simply let Tiger deal with the card and now the only problem is my Video iPod wont connect to the USB 2 ports (a common one i've seen), however i am running a d-link DWL-122 wireless adapter, a standard usb bluetooth adapter, a canon i350 printer, a HP635 digital camera, and an external 2.5in USB 2.0 hard disk (the original 30GB disk from my ibook that lost its S.M.A.R.T status but still works) in various combinations and at full speed for each device. Hope thats usefull to someone too)

Wow how stupid do i feel, almost 8 weeks and all i had to do was reset the PRAM properly!!!! I though i was competent with a mac but it just goes to show! - measure twice cut once!! I'm just watching it through an archive and install and we should be operational.

Flash Wont Display and other bugs

As far as the flash thing is concerned i am going to try installing flash 7/8 as i believe that flash 9 does'nt work with the latest safari.
However i also have another problem, on the same page that the flash objects don't display there are small diamonds with question marks inside the diamond throughout my script. For instance the £ sign is replaced by one of these diamonds.
Any advice would be helpful although i have'nt installed flash 7/8 yet to see if this solves the flash object problem. apart from that im using the latest safari and flash.

whoops, my mistake, yes it does work fine. I have installed and uninstalled differnt versions of flash and shockwave all day today and most of yesterday.
THE PROBLEM
I moved the script some time back but neglected to change the src path. sorry and thanks a lot for at least getting me going in the right direction which ended up solving the issue. THANKS.
DOAH, How stupid do i feel.?

Monkey by name monkey by nature

Hello! this is probably a really easily solvable problem but i don't know how to stop itunes from deleting the songs on my ipod that aren't in the library? does that make sense?
if i put an album in itunes then import to my ipod, decide to delete the album from itunes the next time i plug in my ipod itunes deletes it, annoying!!!! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello and thanks for your help but this is where i prove myself as a monkey by asking more questions!!!!
I changed to manually managing songs but i don't seem to be able to perform the basic task of just moving songs from library to my ipod, how stupid do i feel?!?!?!
I have an album in the library, just one cos i deleted all the rest, and want to add it to the others on my ipod, thought it would be simple but its managed to throw me!
Is it the case that the ipod can only hold whats in the library i.e whatever is in the library is on the ipod?
p.s thanks for the warning about having to store everything on hard copy somewhere.

How stupid do I feel ...?
