How to tell if RH working or hung up

Quick facts: have RoboHelp 7, single CPU with ½-GB RAM,
created Primo PDF from Word, no problemo, then graphic artist
created .pdf with Mac InDesign and EPS graphics, tired to import
into new RoboHelp project, tried converting graphics into JPG, GIF
and PNG, gave up after ½ hour with no RoboHelp response; no
files created in project folder, no response to closing RoboHelp,
can’t get other applications like Outlook or Word to open
while RoboHelp is importing:
9) Is RoboHelp hung while importing his PDF?
10) How long does a 125 page PDF with 85 EPS images take to
import?
11) Can I see if RoboHelp is actually working in Task
Manager?

+I'd like to connect an ethernet cable to my main router so that I can get faster backup from the iMac (which is always wired to the router).+
+My question is this: Once I wire the Time Capsule to the main router, how can I tell if the iMac is backing up wired (by ethernet cable) or wirelessly? Is there some way to tell by looking in Network Preferences or some other place?+
If the iMac is always wired to the router, you would normally turn wireless off on the iMac since there is no reason to have it on. Fewer wireless connections equals fewer changes for some type of wireless interference to enter your network.
+Does it matter whether I plug the iMac into the Time Capsule or main router?+
If you connect the Time Capsule to your main router using ethernet, you need to connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the router to the WAN (circle icon) port on the Time Capsule and configure the Time Capsule as a "bridge" as follows:
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Off (I assume that your other router is creating your wireless)
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Once you have the Time Capsule configured, you can plug the iMac into any open LAN <-> port on either your router or the Time Capsule.

    How to tell if the fan works? it works when Laptop powered up, but no other times.
    I've had it less than a year, and customer services, wont fix it unless I mail the receipt, which I cant find. i called the next day and said I will pay for it to be looked at, and replaced if needed. The price was £223.94. Which is 51% of the price I paid for the laptop originally, so I left it.
    I need to know if my laptop is save to use. It can get hot, I'm worried it could start a fire. The fan only comes on when I boot the laptop up, no other times. What software can I use to tests to see if it functions properly? then I know if i will have to pay to send it away. (not a dust or venting problem) also its a instant sudden one

  • How to tell EAX is working

    is there anyway besides guessing to tell that EAX is working? I am using Windows 7, Vista, and XP, and I am curious if anyone knows if there is a log file generated when EAX is working or not. I understand full well how to use Alchemy but I am not sure about older games. Any thoughts? If I configure Alchemy correctly, then I do not know how to tell if I am successful 00% of the time. The game may sound good, but am I getting the legacy effects or did the developers just do a good sound capture?
    Thanks for the thoughts,

    from what i know games can use EAX through openal. also openal can be used by some higher-level libraries like fmod. a good example which was already mentioned here is bioshock which used fmod, openal and eax. a game could also be coded in a way that it uses EAX hardware processing but it doesn't have to be explicitly selectable in the options.
    i think we can blame both game developers and creative for not enough info on the subject.
    when a game comes out and uses the next new shiny dx we all know that long before release.
    there is much less information about how sound is produced by a game besides "it supports 5./7."
    i think someone from creative should post an extensi've clarification on the subject.

    What I did is wrapper the programs like above and, if the status

    non-portable solution, I would think. Currently on a Unix platform.
    I was hoping the runcommand would return the status variable or

    It started after the major update to iOS 7.
    I can't believe that this is so hard to do. It's just not letting me. I can add a bookmark to the home screen just fine, just not in a bookmarks folder anywhere I try.
    I've used Apple products since 2001 and have always loved how intuitive they are. But the Safari browser since iOS 7 has been the worst I've experienced. At least right in the beginning after that update.
    I'd really appreciate any help that doesn't just tell me how it's suppose to work...I know that.
    My iPad 4 is not affected with the problem and works as it should.

    What did you update with what?  Are we talking a computer?  A device like an iPhone?  You updated iTunes?  You updated the operating system?
    If you updated the iOS on a device, I believe it warns you it will erase the device and you should make a backup first.  Restore from the backup.
    iPhoto is an application pretty much separate from iTunes.  There is an iPhoto forum if you are having problems with that application.

    How to connect my perfectly-working 20-year-old Apple Personal Laserwriter 320 to my iMac running Mountain Lion?
              Thank you, Morty S.

    I have a perfectly-working LW 4/600 with exactly the same issue. They use localtalk - a long obsolete network connection, that doesn't connect to modern networks, and appletalk as the comm protocol.
    I think the only choice you have is to use an old powerPC Mac as print server. You tell me which old Mac you have, with a localtalk connector, or that runs OS X 10.4 or earlier (so it speaks appletalk), and I'll tell you how I've done it for the past 11 years or so.
    Right now I use a G4 running 10.4.11, plus an etherMac ethernet to localtalk adapter.
    Before, I used a PMac 6100 running LPD server software.

  • YES! How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK with 10.4

    How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK in 10.4
    After struggling for quite some time, I finally found a pretty simple way to make print quotas work.
    First, I’ll tell you our setup. We have 3 different computer centers with a variety of eMacs and new Intel iMacs, all clients are running 10.4.8, and each of those 3 centers has its own HP Laserjet 4200 printer. Our dual G5 server is running Server v.10.4.8. Client computers and printers have static IP addresses. All clients are bound to the server with the standard WorkGroup Manager/ LDAPv3 Directory Access scheme - such that all students login to the clients with their network username/password to mount their home directory on the client.
    Next, I’ll tell you what does not work. IF YOU WANT PRINT QUOTAS TO WORK, you cannot use Workgroup Manager to assign a printer to any managed user account, user group, or computer group. Why? Because when you go to a client, and Show Info on the printer that is being pushed by Workgroup Manager, you’ll see that the queue name is not the queue that you’ve setup in Server Admin. Instead, you’ll see the queue name is “MCX” or something along those lines. Even if you manually edit the Workgroup print preference file that is being pushed to clients, it still will not work.
    Drawbacks of my technique: In my case, students will see all 3 printers (1 from each lab) available to them no matter which lab they are in. Not the best, but for now I think it’ll be worth it to be able to control wasteful printing. Students may be able to move/delete the preference file (see below), but they’ll only be hurting themselves, as they won’t have any printers at all then.
    Okay, here’s how I did it:
    1. If you have setup any printers to be pushed out via Workgroup Manager’s preference enforcement to individual users, usergroups, or computer groups, turn those preferences off and leave them off.
    2. Delete any existing printers in your Printer Setup Utility and/or Server Admin. Add and setup a new printer queue using the Server Admin> Print service. I added the printer through the Server Admin application, not Printer Setup Utility (may not matter). However, I did go into that latter utility to set the model of the printer. Now, back in Server Admin, edit the printer queue to turn on these services IPP, LPR (bonjour off), and of course check off the enforce quotas box. (No student Windows clients, so I didn’t tinker with SMB print service). I went ahead and specified the standard cover sheet – it will be handy while troubleshooting.
    3. In Workgroup Manager, select the users that you want to enforce quotas upon, go to the Printer Quota tab (not the preference pane) and, in my case, I selected All Queues and specified a quota, and clicked Save.
    4. Delete all printers that appear in the Printer Setup Utility from each client computer (I know, UGH).
    5. For all network users, you need to edit a preference file and put it into each user’s home directory. That file is “com.apple.print.favorites.plist” and as you guessed, it needs to go into the Library> Preferences folder of every one of your network users’ home directories. Now, the content of that file is crucial… what it should show is the name of the queue(s) you created in Server Admin above, and be immediately followed by an “@” and the address of the server that is hosting that queue. For example, my queue’s name is TCStudentQ and the server’s address is student.mydomain.org… so my preference file has this entry: [email protected]. If you have more than one queue, you’ll have more entries. Be sure that the network user has at least Read level access under Group or Others. I’d recommend making the server System account the Owner of the file, and be sure to lock the file so the users can’t easily trash it. If you don’t know how to create this file in the first place, what you can do is go to a client computer, and log into the client with a dummy network account. Then open Printer Setup Utility, and you should see the queue you created in step 2. Add that printer, and then the file will be created in your dummy account’s home directory under Library> Preferences. Now you can use that file to distribute to other user’s folders… but don’t forget that each user needs Read level access.
    6. That’s it. Works for me. When they exceed the quota, all that spits out is the cover page. It’d be nice if there was a quota monitor utility on the client side so users can see how many pages they have remaining and when the quota will automatically reset. I plan to start the quota on a Monday morning and go on a weekly duration. Not sure what a good starting point is… perhaps 25 pages every school week.
    7. Hey Apple Computer, Inc. Server Developers & Project Managers, I truly hope you’re reading this and can explain why print quotas don’t function as you have documented and advertised. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’ve spent way too much time discovering this workaround, and I know it will help thousands of others with the same problem. I can see where your Print Quota system breaks down, and I think you need to fix these issues or at least document them. Don’t forget to fix serious 10.4 Server bugs before leaving it behind for 10.5 Server – many of us will continue using 10.4 Server for at least another year or two.

    David,
    Your assumption that I didn't read the documentation is incorrect. I read that 10.4 documentation over and over - followed it to the letter to no avail. Perhaps it was updated in the last few weeks? So, do you have a fully operable printer quota system in conjunction with a managed computer or user group that has a managed printer pushed to the group via Workgroup Manager? I can push a managed printer to a managed group without a problem, but the quotas won't be enforced unless I use the workaround above and cut Workgroup Manager's managed/pushed printer out of the picture.
    I know this is a user-to-user forum - however, I'm also aware that Apple tech support often chime in here, so it doesn't hurt to post a message to them in the context of a larger posting about a 'known issue'. I have used the server feedback form... hasn't seemed to me to be very helpful in the past.

    How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
    Hi,
    We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
    We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
    With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
    BUT
    when using separate frame = false
    If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
    I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
    However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
    So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
    Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
    Thank you

    Subject: Re : How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
    Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
    Sorry if this is a long reply
    I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
    It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
    What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
    BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
    Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
    1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
    All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
    All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
    2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
    If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
    So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
    Something like:
    Basejini.htm like
    </HEAD>
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    function maximizeWindow()
    window.moveTo(0,0);
    window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
    function confirm(){
    If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
    Win.opener = self;
    win.close();
    Else if
    event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
    </SCRIPT>
    <BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
    %HTMLbeforeForm%
    I hope this explains my requirements.

    I'm sorry this is not helpful at all.
    Note 199928.1 is only an alert which does not stop the closing of the window and still displays as an alert if the user does close properly using exit form ... so why would you want to display the alert then?

    Closing thread.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
    Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
    To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
    function confirmExit(){
    if(appletRunning==true) {
    msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
    window.event.returnValue=msg;
    And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
    You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
    When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
    See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
    Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)

  • How to tell N6.5 DHCP to use a W2k8 for PXE?

    Hello,
    could anyone give me a hint, how to tell my netware DHCP to use a Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis with PXE Server?
    Actual Situation:
    Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
    Netware DHCP Server
    ZEN7 SP1 Imaging
    --> works fine so far, and no problem in other subnets, IP-helper are configured in the switches
    New Situation:
    Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
    Netware DHCP Server
    Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis Snap Deploy with PXE-Server - in future may be a clean Windows Deployment service without Acronis
    --> that would be nice :)
    I found serveral ini-files (dts.ini, pdhcp.ini, tftp.ini) where I configured the new IP-Address of the W2k8 PXE Server.
    Now:
    The Client gets its correct IP-Address from Netware DHCP
    but after that the following messages:
    Auto-select:
    ZENworks Boot
    Boot Server IP: --.--.--.-- (the correct one configured in the ini-files!)
    TFTP.
    PXE-T02:
    PXE-E3C: TFTP Error - Access Violation
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot.

This option should only be set if both DHCP and PXE services are on the same server (as is probably the case in your situation as I'm guessing both DHCP as also PXE get loaded in the same cluster resource script).
    For subnets serviced outside of the subnet your DHCP server is running in, you will need to configure multiple ip helpers: one that points to the DHCP server and one points to the PXE server so those requests on other subnets get serviced correctly.
    To get things running it's probably easier to try to get this to work on the subnet your DHCP and PXE server are running in (so you are not also having to deal with the ip helper setup just yet). If that works, then expand you configuration to different subnets & ip helpers.

    As a ps and for clarification, don't load the PDHCP on any of the NetWare servers... just have the PXE PDHCP service running on the Windows server.
    The PDHCP/PXE service for ZenWorks won't understand/work with the Arconis one and visa versa.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to tell if the DAC port is automatically changed or not

    Introduction
    Per Books Online:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189595.aspx
    SQL Server listens for the DAC on TCP port 1434 if available or a TCP port dynamically assigned upon Database Engine startup.
    Also, we can go to the following registry to specify the DAC port number manually:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
    The error log contains the port number the DAC is listening on. Besides looking at the error log, how to find which port is used by DAC connection and how to tell if the DAC port is manually set by us or assigned automatically by SQL Server?
    Solution
    The following query can be used to check if there is an existing DAC connection and it also give us the port number used by dedicated admin connection.
    SELECT name,local_tcp_port FROM sys.dm_exec_connections ec
    join sys.endpoints e
    on (ec.endpoint_id=e.endpoint_id)
    WHERE e.name='Dedicated Admin Connection'
    Here is the scenario to test if the DAC port is automatically changed or not.
    There are two instances are running on one server. I specified the same DAC port number 5555 for the two SQL Server instances by modifying the registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
    Opened the DAC connection to instance 1. Executed the above query, it returns the result:
    name                                                  
    local_tcp_port
    Dedicated Admin Connection               5555
    Then, opened a DAC connection to instance 2. It throw out the following error message:
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection because an error was encountered during handshakes before login.
    Common causes include client attempting to connect to an unsupported version of SQL Server, server too busy to accept new connections or a resource limitation (memory or maximum allowed connections) on the server..
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : TCP Provider: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine..
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection.
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection due to prelogin failure.
    The above error message was thrown out because the DAC port number 5555 was not available for instance 2 which was occupying by instance 1. After restarting the SQL Server engine service of instance 2, if checking in the registry, you would see a new DAC port
    number has been assigned to the second instance.
    Then, the DAC connection to instance 2 succeed this time and executed the above query, it returned the same port number which is same as the one in the registry key and the port number was assigned automatically.
    DAC port will not change even SQL Server service is restarted only if the TCP port is available.

    I tested your script after
    establishing a DAC connection from SSMS 2014. It worked as described. Thank you.
