Want robust solution for alternating row color, resetting every group

I would like a solution for displaying an alternating row color for my detail rows that resets every group, so that row 1 is always gray.
Our Crystal designer provided this code to me:
@rowcnt formula, suppressed, placed in Detail row:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
rowcnt := rowcnt + 1;
@resetrowcnt, suppressed, placed in Group row:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
rowcnt := 0;
Formatting formula, placed in Color in Detail > Section Expert:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
if Remainder(rowcnt, 2) <> 0 then
color(241,241,241)
else
crWhite
This was working fine for me.
However, it is suddenly not working in one of my reports.
The report does happen to have two groups (rowcount.png).
When the report is run, all rows are colored (rowcount02.png).
This report was previously working fine! I'm not sure what changed.
In any case... surely there must be standard code to do this very standard formatting.
I would be very grateful if someone could post some robust code to accomplish the following:
REPORT DATA IN DETAIL ROW, ALTERNATE ROW BANDING:
- Data in Detail row displays alternating row colors
- Odd rows are always shaded, even rows not
- Banding resets every group / does not continue pattern from previous group
REPORT DATA IN GROUP ROW, ALTERNATE ROW BANDING:
Some of our reports place row data in a group row (just the way it happened).
If you could also modify your code in this case.
Thank you!

Hi Abhilash/Sastry, since I'm going to switch to Sastry's formulas, could you please confirm correctness of the following. I can't actually run this report, I can only provide it to our London office, bit of a lag for testing.
@resetrowcnt:
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar cnt:=0;
@rowcnt:
Whileprintingrecords;
if {HedgeDetails.StrategyID} <> previous({HedgeDetails.StrategyID}) and
{HedgeDetails.DealID} <> previous({HedgeDetails.DealID}) then
Numbervar cnt:=cnt+1;
Details section (Suppress):
not(OnFirstRecord) and
{HedgeDetails.StrategyID}=previous({HedgeDetails.StrategyID}) and
{HedgeDetails.DealID}=previous({HedgeDetails.DealID})
Please note: Suppress checkbox is selected AND the above formula is entered.
Details section (Color):
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar cnt;
if cnt mod 2 <> 0 Then color(241,241,241) else crwhite

My wife upgraded to a 32 gb ipod touch and I took her 8 gb. I want to reset mine to factory settings without messing with the stuff on hers. I assume because of icloud, every time I take something off of mine it comes off of hers too. Any help????

MY WIFE UPGRADED TO A 32GB AND PASSED HER 8GB ON TO ME. I WANT TO RESET MINE AND START FRESH BUT EVERYTIME I TAKE SOMETHING OFF MINE IT COMES OFF HERS AS WELL. HOW CAN I DO IT WITHOUT CLEARING HERS?

Connect the iPod to yur computer and restore to factory defaults/new iPod. You can also go to Settings>General>Erase all content and setting. Thge set up the iPod the way you want.
ALso, go to Settings>Store and turn off Automatic Downloads.

Wireless accesspoint needs to be reset every morning

We do have 2 airport extreme stations that needs to be reset every morning before users can connect to it.
We connected the airports to a UPS to see if the problem disappeared but it is still there.
One of the lights of the airport extreme is off (left)
by resetting the airport everything is back to normal.
the airports do have the latest software installed.
I do know there is a lot of interfearence in the building.
Could this be the cause or is it something else.

I think I am having the same problem. Every morning and sometimes in the middle of the day when I leave my ocmputer for a few hours I have to restart my DSL modem and my airport as well as a router i have for my VONAGE phone. Everything is working correctly and connected correctly as well. It works fine but when i leave the computer for some time I lose my internet connection. I disconnected my airport entirely and just plugged the DSL directly into my computer and there was no problem so it is for sure some conflict with my airport extreme. I have the main base station which is the Airport Extreme and a express for my stereo and then another express in the back of the house extending the range.
It was all working perfectly when i first set it up but now this just started. i have been on the phone with vonage and with SBC for the dsl and the problem is not with their hardware. I tried calling Apple but they wanted $$ to even talk to me over the phone which I thought was pretty lame.
Can anyone offer suggestions that might help me?
thanks

Finder resets every minute

Last week I upgraded my ibook from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 via software update. i think i also updated quicktime and iTunes at the same time. After doing this I began experiencing a problem i've never seen before in which the finder 'resets' every minute or so, regardless of what program i am running. the desktop items disappear for a few moments and when they reappear, i'm "in" the finder and have to click on the window of the progam i'm in to continue using the program (e.g. if i'm typing in Word or Mail, i have to click on that doc in order to continue typing, something i've done 3 times since beginning this message). I downloaded 10.4.9 combo and installed that. no change. i thru away the system and finder preferences in my library. no change, and the finder prefs renews itself at every 'reset'. there is no 'finder reset' option from the finder dock icon like there once was--the only option is "hide". Any suggestions?

I suspect the magic word is "StuffIt"--for some reason its various add on goodies frequently have unfortunate effects on the Finder.
Restart and hold down the Shift key as soon as you hear the startup chime. This will boot you into Safe Mode, which will repair the disk, clean a couple of caches, and disable ALL third party startup items (and a few of Apple's too). The start will take longer than normal as it does all this. The Finder should now work normally, and you can start looking for Stuffit add ons: check here:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items"
"/Library/Contextual Menu Items"
If you find something from StuffIt in either location, drag it to your Desktop. Also launch System Preferences, go to Accounts and click the Login Items tab. If there is something in there from StuffIt click on it to select, then click the minus button at the bottom. Now restart normally and see if the Finder is working correctly.

IPhone wants to reset all data

Pleas help.
Hopefully someone can help me or I am really gonna be ticked off.
My computer died on the weekend, which I have now reloaded. Loaded iTunes again (9.02), recreated my music library, added videos, added apps, added playlists and authourized.
When I go to connect my iPhone, it naturally says it is synced with a different computer. It wants to delete all my apps which are loaded and their data. Some of the apps are used for business purposes and the information on them cannot be copied onto paper and re-entered into the app.
Every app and song on the iPhone is now in iTunes.
+Can I get the new iTunes to accept the old iPhone without wiping out any data on it???+
All data is backed up, I just need iTunes to accept the iPhone.
Thanks for the help.

iphone 4 shut itself off and prompted me to connect to iTunes where is wants to reset my phone and lose all my data

Display screen keeps resetting every 5 miutes

Our business computer is an Imac G5 10.4.11 Tiger. The display screen keeps resetting every three minutes. It just flashes and resets itself. I don't loose anything but it's very annoying. I've reset the pram & nvram with no luck. I've also done all the repairs off the start up disk. Any thoughts?
<Post Relocated by Moderator>

Hey Michael,
I brought my Imac up to the Apple Store where we purchased it from. They had Friday & Saturday and called Sunday saying it was done. My wife brought it home and we plugged it in only to find it's still has the same problem. My wife said they went through the entire machine from top to bottom.
I called the store today and had to schedule my complaint with a service tech. I brought the machine up there myself and went through the steps (It kind of scares me when I know more than the kid helping me). I understand they have to learn somehow, I own a door & window company and totally see things from both sides. I asked for a supervisor, explaining I wasn't upset with the other staff person, I was just upset with the computer. I explained to them that I had removed the cover and looked at the capacitors with three of them bulging. I explained I had posted here for some answers and that I'd researched the issue. They told me all about the problems they had with this year and the capacitor issues were only covered for a three year period (I happened to be six months late) They then proceeded to tell me that it would cost me $900.00 to fix. I had to take a deep breath and keep my composure after that one.
My biggest complaint is they had problems with the machines logic board capacitors, but never told us it may become an issue. No letter or even the courtesy of telling us when it was serviced. I own a brand new 20" Imac, the 2005 Imac 20" (problem child), and around 10 other Imac's dating back to 2003, 4 Ipod Touch's, and 4 Iphones. Needless to say I have invested a large sum of money in Apple products. These are the only machines I've ever had since I can remember and I'll always support Apple products. It just really ****** me off when they had my machine in for power supply repairs a couple times and never said a thing to us about possible problems down the road. Now they want me to sack up $900.00 for repairs when I can get a new one for around $1200.00.
I know that these issues arise in every kind of industry. I deal with them all the time, but if I know there's a flaw that will kick my rear end down the road, I''l head it off as fast as I can to avoid angry customers. I also don't have the volume Apple has when it comes to sales, so my issues really have no validity, they have to cut it off somewhere. Is there any other route I can take to try and get this $2600.00 computer fixed without kicking my rear?
By the way, thanks for answering questions, I do it on a couple boards in my industry. I know how people beat you up on certain issues without knowing your doing it for free. I know where your coming from and want to say Thank You for your time!!!

Lost password on IPad one and I don't want to reset

Hi everyone,
I lost my old IPad password 4 digit. I don't want to reset/restore, as I have tons of photos on it. Is there a way to reset the password, can Apple do it?
Thanks,
Jean

The computer I used to synch on is long gone. That's the thing with theses IPads they're easy to store...
Well the lesson is mine. I just have 9999 combination to try out every 30min,
Thanks,

How do I make Firefox stop crashing and giving "not responding" messages. I don't want to reset it because I've got lots of extensions. Other browsers work fine

Every few minutes it gives me a "not responding" message and/or it crashes. I've checked all my add-ons, they're all updated. I've tried accessing the same websites that crash on Firefox with other browsers and it works really well. I don't want to reset it as one of the troubleshooting solutions suggest because I'd rather change to another browser than having to re-install all my add-ons. Please, is there anything that can be done to fix this?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Also try to disable hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

SMC & PRAM Resetting: Should We Reset Every So Often for Maintenance?

Hi. Some experts like Leo Laporte make a fresh reinstall of their OS every 6 months or every year I think, even if there's no problem with the OS. Should it apply to resetting the PRAM and SMC? Should these two be reset every so often (how frequently) even if there's no problem as a preventative measure?
Thank you in advance. Have a great holy weelk and advanced happy easter.
God bless.

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A well-made computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs attention, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.
