How to continue into the future?

I'm starting to get worried.
After the fiasko with the Lion servers i bought, I'm facing a new dilemma.
I had bought the machines expecting something a bit more evolved that 10.6 server.
But we all know how that turned out.
===
I had then planned to replace my os x mail server with Exchange.
And why is that?
My mailserver seems to be damaging email addresses by adding questionmarks to them.
I have tried asking here and in other places about this without results.
I then started looking around on this website and others.
Only to realize that questions that go above a degree of complexity seem to remain unanswered.
Questions that some years ago were still receiving replies.
I then read the complains from other people and see that I'm not alone.
===
So I start looking into what is involved.
And stumble on the fact that using 10.7 client with Exchange seems to be working but that things will break once I upgrade to 10.8 client.
Ok so I consider to stick with 10.7 but then again I will be needing to buy new machines soon and those will contain 10.8.
Also I could switch to use the command line to administer the servers in order to set up my virtual domains etc.
But that isn't an option for someone that just occasionally needs to work on this.
Is Apple Marketing telling me that Apple products are only to be used in the home?
And that using them in a business environment is not an option anymore?
So what is the solution here?
Perhaps the host that display's such brilliance in editing our postings can answer this question?
Because, after this fiasko with server 10.7 and 10.8 I'm a bit clueless, as to what to tell my clients the next time a new machine needs to be purchased.
Kind regards

Actually I live in Iceland.
And despite the fact that I've been exclusively working with apple products for 25 years or so I would like to stress that over here a Mac only installation in Business is an illusion.
Next to all business software is windows based while the ease of use has for a long time now been associated with the products from apple.
For me this has changed during the last two weeks.
The upgrade to 10.7 server has just waisted more of my time and caused a longer shutdown of services than the combined time of shutdowns associated with our windows server, which we have been running for up to 10 years now.
The removal of open directory is causing me added work which I can probably get rid of by switching entirely to windows based servers.
And once the os x servers are gone there is not much reason to hang on to the macs, at least if the reports about problems in 10.8 in regards to connections to Exchange are true. Also we are running our business software in Terminal services and switching to Windows clients would probably lower our overhead considerably.
All the software we are using runs effortlessly on windows while using Mac's to run it is quite an overhead.
I have nothing against SMBX but delivering it half finished, or what ever, to the market isn't my idea of a positive firm image. And delivering the server application half finished with a windows 3.11 user interface doesn't do anything for me either.
===
Twenty years ago we could afford to be evangelists and believe that Apple, with an capital "A", was the good guy that was being smothered by the big, bad ms.
We believed in Apple to do whatever humanly possible to give us products that were innovative and cool.
Then came the day's of the Pepsi king. Overpriced, underpowered hardware and the humiliation that followed was next to unbearable.
Then came Steve Jobs and despite him being what and who he was, he grabbed the company by the hair and pulled it out of the ditch. Albeit with the help of many good people.
Then apple discovered consumer products and became the most valuable company being traded. However sometimes value is not only measured by money but rather by the image being displayed.
If apple wants to be all about making money and less about customer satisfaction then so be it.
Then they can just return to being apple with a small "a" like during and after the days of the Pepsi king.
===
As I said using windows machines would probably mean less overhead and if we want to go the apple way of thinking, for profit that is, switching to windows would probably be a no brainer. Also then I wouldn't have to listen to the snoddy remarks of my learned colleagues from the windows world anymore.
I have yet to meet a windows system manager that doesn't, in one way or other, dread the addition of Macs to his environment.

My ical works ok except when I open the month of March 2013 it crashes/closes. All other month work, even into the future. How can I fix this?

My ical on ipad 3 works fine except when I open the month of March 2013 it crashes/closes down immediately. All other months work, even into the future. Even Feb and April etc. in 2013. How can I fix?

I understand it's a glitch. If you have any events on april 1 2012 i believe,t hat's an all day app, delete it or make it for just a period of time, not all day.
I think it has something to do with daylight savings time (but don't quote me on that) with the conflict betwen 'all day' and the ipad trying to figure out how long 'all day' is with that whole spring forward and lose an hour. removing any 'all day' appointments seem to remove that conflict.

Please can someone help, I have a question in my coursework that I don't know the answer to! Explain how PostScript fits into the design process?

Please can someone help, I have a question in my coursework that I don't know the answer to! Explain how PostScript fits into the design process?

The simple answer is that today PostScript really doesn't fit at all into the Graphic Design process, at least in terms of what the graphic designer needs to know.
Historically, though, the PostScript imaging model, first introduced circa 1984 provided the basis for the initial publishing software including PageMaker, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and even Ventura Publisher. This imaging model included support for continuously scalable text, vector, and raster imagery as well as the concepts of a current transformation matrix that allowed arbitrary scaling, rotation, etc. and multiple color spaces (grayscale, RGB, CMYK, spot, device independent, and color-managed).
The PostScript imaging model was effectively replaced by the PDF imaging model, a significant superset of the PostScript imaging model, by the time Illustrator 9 and InDesign 2 were released in terms of support of ICC color management, transparency, etc.
The fact is that a good graphic designed doesn't need to know anything about PostScript or PDF per sé, but rather about the basics of color (such as issues associated with color gamut and what how that affects display and printing), use of text versus vector versus raster images and why one should keep content at the highest level of abstraction all the way to the rendering (or screen) or RIP process for printing. Some knowledge of typography also helps.

Alter a BAPI Result Table, how to get into the display "loop" ?

Hello all,
i have a problem regarding the result rows of a RFC/BAPI Call.
There are three views, let's say 1,2,3. In View 1, i call a BAPI, and display the results in a table in View 2. I added a button in each row, which calls View 3 and displays some details concerning the selected row.
I now want to store a flag for each row, that has been displayed in this way.
In View 3 i store the key value of the displayed row in an own value node in the context.
When i go back from View 3 to View 2, i want to see that flag (in an extra column) in every row, that has been selected in this session.
So i do not know, how to alter a single row in the BAPI result table, how to get into the "loop" that is used by WD to display the table.
already tried a supply function, but i was not able to alter single rows.
Any suggestions/tips or perhaps code fragments of working supply functions ?
Thank you !

Hello,
I'm not sure whether I understood your problem correctly, but I will try to give an answer.
The easiest way I see is to copy the RFC Results to a Component Controller Context structure with an additional Flag field. You can use WDCopyService for copying.
Then on the event of selecting you set your flag as appropriate for you (e.g. if you want to use an image as flag you set the Image path) on the current element of your table. Then display View 3.
On going back View 2 should show now the new flag values...
The trick is to copy the values (as at Time structures can not be expandend with new fields) and set the Flag on the onSelect event.
Hope this helps,
Frank

Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

Hello,
I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Is there any setting that I can try?
Any procedure that I should try?
ny other suggestions?
Thanks much!
Erik

Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.

What would change a file modification date into the future?

Of late, I've been noticing that [apparantly random] files that have NOT be accessed are showing a modification date somewhere in the future.
I couldn't figure out why zip was adding files I hadn't touched to an archive of files changed since a certain date. Looked in Finder, and they have dates from 1 to 20 some years into the future, in the modification column, and sometimes, no creation date.
Also, files deep in the contents of some apps are losing me as an owner, leading zip to tell me "access denied".
Any thoughts as to what's going on? Other than the paranoid; there's some evil virus, whatever, running amok.

Validate date is 2 work days or more into the future

I would like to be able to validate that a date entered into a form is at least 2 business days into the future. Is there a way to do this with Application Express?
I am able to validate the date is at least 2 days out by using:

Can anyone explain how Groupware fits into the CRM mobile model?.
Also we have the client console on the laptop, but it looks very basic. My understanding is that it's supposed to be able to download sales details before going on the road, is that correct, or have I misunderstood something?.

How playlists are curating the future of music

Here's an interesting read for all you playlist makers out there . Looks like what you are doing is starting to make a big impact on the music industry.
http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/9686-up-next-how-playlists-are-curating-the-future-of-music/

Massive shout out to and for being featured in the article:
"There’s Jonathan Good, a 37-year-old business manager near Glasgow who has about 2,000 followers on Spotify and says his “obsession” started after a positive review for one of his playlists on another site. One of his most successful playlists, “If Darth Was a DJ”, is based on what he imagined theStar Wars villain would play behind the decks. “I’ve always enjoyed sharing my musical discoveries, and Spotify gives me the ability to do that on a larger scale,” Good tells me in an email. “Playlists are now the way we listen to music, and I can see a time coming when the playlist creator becomes just as important an element in the process as the artists being featured.”
Then there’s Soundofus, aka Gerard, a retired school director from the suburbs of Paris with almost 20,000 Spotify followers who asks me not to publish his age or full name (but says he has seen the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, and the Who all perform live). He runs a music review website and got a big break when a playlist he researched and compiled with songs from the 2012 Summer Olympics in London ended up going viral.
Diestro, aka Cristian Garcia, an unemployed 25-year-old from southern Spain with 18,000 followers, says he made his first playlist to organize music that he likes, such as Dire Straits and Queen, but since then has made more than 200 more across different genres and styles. He tells me in an email that while Apple and others hire paid playlist makers, it’s amateurs like him that are often more effective. He hopes more services will take Spotify’s lead in empowering its users and, at the same time, hopes to one day work in a job “related with music, something that I enjoy every minute of my life.”

Synching iPad to older PC with less memory - it ran out of space when synching movies - how to synch in the future if we can't free up more space (besides buying a new computer)

In synching ****...
Tried to synch iPad with several movies with a PC that turns out to have less memory than what we were synching.
Turned off synching of movies to try to help the situation...
WRONG!
Two of our purchased movies were deleted in the synch process.
We got them out of the PCs recycle bin but now how have them on the PC, but not on the iPad.
How do we (a) get the movies back on to the iPad and
(b) solve the longer-term issue of synching if the PC can't hold as much as the iPad does?

He doent have to , we already know he's got a xp machines, and from the fact that he's able to sync his iPad to it tells me enough, it's enough to know he has the basic requirements to connect an external drive via USB, now we know it's an older machine so it more than likely he's got a ton of .tmp files taking up space,and the fact that he's asking this question makes me think he may not be aware of how to search the HD via *.tmp from the command line to location and delete those files, so w/o buying a new machine, his only option is intsalling a new Internal or external hard drive.

How to insert "%" into the report figure in report painter/ drill down

Please kindly advice how to insert "%" in the calculated amount in the report painter/ drill down report.

Hi,
Create a text variable (for query name, option available in query properties).
Processing Type would be Replacement path, replace with variable.
Give the variable name created for the selection box characteristic in 'Replace with variable' option.
This would replace value of the text variable with the user input value.
Hope this helps!

M vs. UM - An introspection into the future.

Ok, so we all are aware that managed languages are becoming the fad now right? .NET is upon everything; its reign is working its way through our CPUs (well, those of us that dual boot - hehe -) and we basically have to deal with it.
Let's look at this from a more serious case, however.
First off, I am not Anti-Windows (ok, well, maybe I am to an extent - but, I still find uses for it so I can't quite be completely biased). Second of all, I hope for this to be an objective discussion, as most of the community here appears to be just that - objective. It's a little hard to keep this kind of a pace, given that there are many, many flame wars and "language holy wars" on this particular topic, but, alas, we are adults (well, I'd imagine at least most of us are).
The hardest language I have programmed in is C++. My interests are more geared towards learning the actual ins and outs of an operating system; I plan to learn Assembly code eventually once I've acquired enough knowledge from the realm of C.S. and learning of the mathematics behind things. For now, I spend my time with Web Development in PHP since it's easier to actually make money with.
My background is primarily in C#, C++, and PHP. I've dabbled in other languages here and there, but ultimately these are the three languages I can pick up and just start coding with right off the bat.
/Off-topic
Every programmer knows that C++ is unmanaged, can be faster, and C# is managed and is thus slower - even with a JIT compiler.
Now, despite this, C# is widely used and evermore popular today - especially since it operates off of the .Net framework, which is much, much more easier to use than, say, the STL of C++.
Of course, with recent advancements in C++0x, I'm sure we'll see some nicer things coming this way ("shared_ptr<void*>" anyone?). Qt, is definitely a great, great framework which supports RAD, or Rapid Application Development. OpenGL gives the programmer more control over their graphics render, especially with languages like GLSL, or the OpenGL Shading Language.
On the flip side, C# does a lot of things which C++ can do, and makes life much easier, especially considering how everything is managed for the programmer. With Xamarin's new MonoDroid framework, life has become easier in terms of making mobile devices pretty much cross platform.
From my perspective, I'd say C# is an overall good language, and the same goes to C++.
But...
There's more to it than meets the eye. The question is how do these languages affect our PCs which we oh, so love?
Let's look at this from a different perspective.
Kurtzweil himself has said it: the rate of technological progression is not only increasing, but increasing exponentially. (Quantum Computer, anyone? Hmm? Hmm?)
How this applies to the topic at hand is in regards to memory management, and how our moneys our spent on obtaining the latest and greatest technologies. C# allocates more RAM typically than a [well-written] C++ program. This is because it's managed. Yet, when thinking about it, is this part of the reason why as every two years passes the standard amount of RAM per computer just suddenly doubles? Take Windows for example: it's slow, and I mean slow. Could this be because it allocates so much memory in its managed programs, that we have to go out and buy stronger and faster hardware for our CPUs?
Back in the year 2000, anyone who had a gigabyte of RAM was totally set. AND, while Java was definitely popular, FAR more programs were written in C++ then.
Hmm...
Your thoughts, please.

C++ might actually gain some momentum with the C++11 standard - personally I like it. The main problem with C++ is that people often abuse it.
People always abuse languages, except C++ is probably more "abusable" than other languages.
An example (that also works in C) would be storing pointers in integers... that's just silly. A C++ only example would be deriving an STL class and using an undocumented function/variable/behaviour that is most probably specific to the implementation on your specific system/compiler. etc. etc.
C will always be there. C11 is also quite nice. The problem with C though is that not even the C99 standard is supported everywhere yet... STILL!
Layers over layers. Each language has its place*. I don't though though, that we need a successor for C. What we need is a compiler that supports all standards properly, which works on all systems.
We will always need native code, so C will most likely stay for a long while.
We will probably always "need" GUIs**, and while C works, it's probably a better idea to use a language that doesn't need to be compiled to native code, though I'd reject any language which cannot at least be JIT compiled... GUIs are so slow these days.
ASM will always be required, otherwise there soon won't be any people left who can work on the lowlevel compilers.
* Often the place is the trashcan.
** Yay for terminals... and I fear the day when GUIs get completely replaced by voice-systems

How to sign into the iTunes store without a credit card?

For the past little while I have been very frustrated with itunes. I don't have an apple device, but I want to start legitimately purchasing the music I listen to (I live in Canada, so downloading music is legal, but I'd still like to purchase music to show support for artists I like)
So anyways, I download itunes and it says to make an account. Okay. So, I follow the steps and then it asks for my credit card information. I don't have one right now, so I just left it blank. Suddenly, RED BOXES. D: I hate red boxes. So I can't even create an apple ID, eh? Hmm..
So I go to the apple.com website and create an apple ID from there. Success! I can now go to the app store and get ready to purchase music...right? Wrong! "This apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information."
Ooookkaayyyy...... so I follow the steps and once again I get to the billing information, which it won't let me skip, so I can't even sign in. I've done some googling and apparently there is or used to be a "none" option for the credit card?? Where has that gone? Why is it not there anymore??! >_>
What can I do do get around this?
TL;DR- I am so not apple savvy. Help me.
Btw, even when I put in the little code thingy for an itunes card in the itunes card box it still wants me to enter credit card info. :/
Eeeehhhhh..... Uhm, never mind. I guess I might have typed in the code wrong or something because it works now. Sorry for wasting youur time, everyone. I'm new to the whole apple scene, I'm an android convert... lol

Hi tarameikle,
Well, bummer! I'm putting a link to the article that shows you how to set up an iTunes account with "None", but it requires a new Apple ID. If you are setting up an iTunes account with an existing Apple ID, a Credit Card is required....
This is the link for putting in "None" with a new Apple ID:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
This is the link for setting up an iTunes account with an existing Apple ID:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2589
It does say that once you have set it up with a credit card, you can change it to None (there's a link for that embedded in the second article).....but it appears that it requires a credit card to start with
Hope this info helps.
