IPod 4th gen has lots of lines over screen looks like bar codes and can't see display?

My step sons iPod I just a year old but for about 3 months it's been coming up with lots of lines on screen looks like bar code. Now he can't see anything on screen due to his. He has not been on it for a while as he has a 2nd one from his mum but I forgot to check this out before warranty ran out.
I have tried system re boot, I thought it was due to him charging it with USB on xbox360.
Can someone please help

- Try restoring the iPod from backup.
- If not successful then restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How to do Setup and Security implementation in ODI

HI Friends,
I have few question regarding ODI installations.I am using
Oracle DB version is Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
ODI is ODI 11.1.1.5 version.
While installing can we go for
One Master repository for Dev and UAT, mainly because we have one physical server for UAT connecting to UAT DB and Dev DB. And a separate Master repository for Production?
We have 2 groups of users .One is developer and One is tester.
Tester donot have a permission to use or check the development codes.They have only the Run permission in operator.
How to do this security implementation in ODI while installing.
Plz confirm me on this.
Thanks,
Lony

The way I did it is,
Created an Execution Mode work repository for the QA purpose and thus only Scenarios & Load Plans were deployed on this QA repo. This had its own Master Repo as well.
For dev the Dev mode work repo is created where all the interfaces, packages, procedures can be developed or modified as and when required.
Thus, the testers have access only to the QA environment.
Otherwise you can assign roles to the users after the installation in the security tab. Give the operator, connect role to the testers.

LOV how to show code and description

Hi,
How can I show code + description in a LOV using disco 4? It seems that I can't do that. I can just pick one value, which should be a code to link to a drill to detail, but how about description?
e.g
ID - Countries
1 USA
2 France
3 Australia
How can I show USA but use id to link to another table?
Regards,

Hi Rod,
Yep, but how can I use just the code to match with where clause?
I mean in this case I need to create a extra column with code + description to match combo code + description.
Is there any way to work around this e.g: code + description on the combo box and just use the code from the combo to perform the search.....substr( combo box) ?
Cheers,

How is the 'code fold' functionality implemented?

Hi all,
I'm thinking that I'd like to have a form, which is broken into several categories, that has 'code fold' functionality ala NetBeans. I'm thinking the way to do this would be to simply place all of these JPanels in the form in the nodes of a tree, when collapsed, just the title is displayed, when they expand, the JPanel appears. I admit I've not yet tried this approach yet , I first wanted to find out if anyone has done something like this and what approach they might use. Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

How to get code and compile by different remote machine's?

Hi all,
I want to connect(as ssh) to svn server (Linux) from my pc (windows), to get C++ source and bring it in my pc and compile it by another remote machine (Linux) and finally I want to commit the changes to svn server,
is there a "step by step" instruction in CDT? I can not do this by my own,

> changing the Flex Compiler options from "-locale en_CA" to "-locale en_US"
We hear you. This has been fixed in the coming release.
Try this for code-behind:
1. Create a new AS class (say MyClass) extending from WindowedApplication.
2. Right click your project, choose properties, go to Flex Applications.
3. Select MyClass, hit remove.
4. Now change the root tag of your existing MXML file to <local:MyClass by adding a namespace xmlns:local="*"
That should work.

How to print bar codes in sap script and smartform

bar code sheet to print for particular customer when the
transfer order is created.

Hi,
You create a bar code or change a bar code in the font maintenance transaction (transaction SE73). To do this, proceed as follows:
○ Start transaction SE73, and choose System Bar Codes ® Change.
○ If you create a bar code, the system asks whether you want to use the new bar code technology or traditional system bar codes. Choose New.
You can enter a name and a description for the bar code. Note that the name must begin with a Zto avoid conflict between your bar codes and the standard bar codes.
2. If you have created a new bar code, you must now add this to a Smart Style as a character format. For information about this, see the section Maintenance of Styles with the Style Builder and its subsections in the Smart Forms documentation.
If you have only changed the bar code, continue with the next step.
3. You can now select text in Smart Forms and choose the corresponding style with the bar code as the character format for this text.
4. You can then print the bar code.

How to Increase Bar Code width ?

Dear All,
I am printing a Bar code and I am getting its width depending upon size of data .
I am using CODE 128 and I am passing 854540008700547878 .
I want to fix the bar code width 9cm ..Currently I am using 6cm width and 150 height .
And If I increase the width more than 6cm then I got only charater 854540008700547878 not bar code.
Help wil be appriciated.
Regards
Steve

Hi ,
Create your own bar code type rather than using system Bar Codes , if the length of your code doesn't fit with the standards available under SE73 . There you can define your own sizes as per your requirement , If you have a stands logic ,for example production order type Z001 should be in 15 lengthy code , then put a condition in the smart form to facilitate it , like wise you could use different lengthy bar codes in single form .
I hope this is what you meant by your treat.
Good Luck .
Cheers ,

Why does the bar code look "chubby" when I save to PDF?

Hi, I'm designing a book cover for a client in Illustrator, and it has a bar code on the back of it. When I save the file as an .ai or a .png or .jpeg, it appears fine. But when I save the file as a .pdf (which my client will be viewing, and for print), the bar code looks like the lines have gotten bigger or run together! It's really weird...no matter which preset I use, it appears like this (I've attached a screenshot). I've also tried the "flatten transparency" and converting the numbers to outlines, but they still tend to distort when the pdf is viewed.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or why this might be happening? It scares the client when they see it....
The lines in the picture are MUCH thicker than the actual bar code, and some appear to have blended together.

Hi Mike,
In the Preferences area of Adobe Reader, go to the Page Display tab, and
make sure that "Enhance thin lines" is unchecked. That seemed to solve
most of my problems with the type! Hope that works for you too!

How Do Mobile Codes Work? FAQ

You may have seen them in our weekly ads, on BestBuy.com, or on signs in our retail stores: two-dimensional images that look similar to traditional bar codes, but are irregular and often square. Ever wonder what they are? They’re Mobile Codes!
What is a Mobile Code?
A Mobile Code is any two-dimensional (DataMatrix or QR code) or linear bar code (UPC) which can be read by a smart phone, linking the physical world with the on-line world. Some bar code symbologies are in the public domain, such as UPC and DataMatrix and some symbologies are proprietary (e.g. Microsoft’s Tag and EZ codes). Bar Code scanners today are “image scanners,” and since most smart phones have cameras built into them, we can now use them as personal bar code scanners!
Do I need software to read a Mobile Code?
Yes. The Best Buy Mobile App is free software you can download to your phone that contains a bar code reader. The reader will scan UPC and QR codes for products carried by Best Buy. To download the reader, simply follow these instructions:
1)      Text “APP” to 332211.
2)      Click on the link that is returned
3)      Download and install the Best Buy Mobile App on your phone
4)      Launch the app, push the Product Scan button, and hover the phone over the code.
Try this one:
You can also download the app through several platform-specific app stores:
         iPhone via Apple App Store
         Android Phone via Google Play
         Windows Phone and Touch Screen PC via Windows Phone Store
Additional app features can be found on http://www.BestBuy.com/App.
What phones are supported?
The Best Buy Mobile App is available on most iPhone, Android, and Windows Mobile devices. It is also available for Touch Screen PCs. iPad version coming soon!
What service plans will I need?
The service relies on a data plan from your provider or the free Wi-Fi network available in each of our retail stores. The amount of bandwidth consumed varies based on the product experience rendered. If you do not have an unlimited data plan, please plan accordingly. Remember, watching videos can use more bandwidth than viewing mobile web pages.
What type of bar codes can I scan with the Best Buy Mobile App?
The Best Buy Mobile App reads QR (Quick Response) Codes, which are the square two-dimensional bar codes with the three smaller squares in the upper right and left of the bar code and in the lower left.   The Best Buy Mobile App can also read UPC codes (the codes used at cash registers in stores). The app does not currently read Data Matrix codes which are square two-dimensional codes, but they don’t have the three smaller squares in them.
What will happen when I scan the Mobile Code?
After reading a Best Buy Mobile Code, you will be taken to a mobile web page that contains item specific information. You can use the Best Buy Mobile App to compare a number of products or narrow your selection of items based on parameters you select while in the store.
Is there any personal information involved?
No personal information is obtained from your phone. If you have the Best Buy Mobile App and have logged in, your My Best Buy membership information may be used to create a personalized experience.
How do mobile codes work?
The Best Buy Mobile App includes the software required to turn your phone into a scanner. All you need to do is initiate the scanner and hover the phone over the code. The app scans the code and launches the corresponding experience. It’s the best of both worlds: you can be online and in the store at the same time!
How do I save the data for use later?
On the iPhone and Android, add the product to your cart. Products added to your cart are available until removed. A list of recently viewed products can also be accessed through the main app menu.
What prices will I see on my mobile device?
You will see our regular BestBuy.com prices. In some cases they may vary from the in-store price.

If you touch the left side of the telephone number field, you get a drop down Label from which you can select the type of number it is to be.

Interface with SAP / Bar code scanner.

Hello,
we are going to integrate bar code reader to SAP directly
Our thought are , Scanning the bar code and then using IDOC or directly connected to SAP - ZTables for converting the data into the SAP system..
is it possible to convert the bar code information ( such us material / batch etc..) in to SAP with an interface.
Any Input will be appreciated
Thanks for your help
JJ

Hi JJ,
I may be just re-iterating what has already been said, but for clarity I will put down the points again, since I was also faced with the same confusion regarding how barcode and sap will work.
1. Barcode Scanner has nothing to do with SAP or any software.
   In simple terms, it is just like a keyboard. To demo;
    a) Plug in the barcode scanner in the USB port
    b) Open Notepad in windows
    c) The cursor will be inside the notepad
    d) Now scan the bar code against any barcode image.
          (Suppose the barcode image contains the information XYZABC)
   e) As soon as you scan, the characters   X Y Z A B C (without spaces)
      will AUTOMATICALLY GET TYPED on the screen, inside the notepad, at the place of cursor.
    Hence, the SCANNER just acts as a KEYBOARD.
   and autommatically types in the characters WHEREVER the CURSOR is.
   We can test this using notepad, Excel, word or any where the cursor can appear.
   We can test in any standard sap screen on any text field also, etc.
2. Saving the data in SAP.
    a) First we have to figure out how to save data in SAP,
        considering we are entering data MANUALLY.
   b) This can be a STANDARD Transaction or a Z transaction.
   c) Suppose the field / information is material number,
     then instead of TYPING the material number on the screen, in the field,
    we simply place the cursor on that field.
d) then we simply scan the image (containing information on material n umber) and hooooooray,
    it gets automatically TYPED IN on that field.
    Thats it. Other fields we may have to enter manually and press the SAVE button to save the data.
