Imac G3 clock not working - and some other questions

This iMac is starting to act slow, especially browsing with FireFox. Also, the clock will not hold its time. Won't browse at all with IE or Safari. Well, Safari will sorta work - but for some reason automatically downloads FAD messages on desktop.
Does this computer just need a new battery for the clock? Also, will that battery also improve the general sluggishness?
What battery does it need and how can I replace it?
Also, regarding browsing - there are less and less browsers that work with this computer. I'd like to upgrade (currently using 10.2.8) but not sure if it can handle an upgrade. Will it actually start handling even slower because an upgraded OS is wearing it down? Any suggestions? More computer info listed below:
Proc. 500 MHZ PowerPC Gc
iMac version 22.14
Mem 348 MB
OS Version 10.2.8
Thanks for any feedback/suggestions on both the clock issue and improving browsing sluggishness.

You can run the top command in the terminal to get an idea about system and memory usage.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
type
top -u
then press enter and you will some memory stats. The display is hard to digest, but if you watch for awhile (days) you will get some hints.
Look for this line. The number in yours will be different.
PhysMem: 58.8M wired, 101M active, 271M inactive, 431M used, 336M free
so
wired + active + inactive = used
used + free = installed memory (768 off by a meg )
336M free means total unused memory. I have lots of free memory.
The next line
VM: 4.22G + 118M 22499(0) pageins, 0(0) pageouts
VM is virtual memory.
You notice I have 0(0) pageouts which says that I am not using my harddrive for extra memory space. 0 is the total (0) is this time period
Hence, I would not benefit from more memory.
You could post your number here for comments.
Mac OS 10.2 doesn't do the best job of cleaning up after itself. Perhaps a little housekeeping would help.
Here is what Apple says, "Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Perhaps you should try running the periodic jobs. These jobs are run daily weekly monthly to do general system maintenance. These jobs will clean up the logs.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
Note: Enter your logon password. You need to be logoned on with an administrator id.
Maybe you should try one of these general clean up programs. You might backup your system before pounding too hard. I'd repair permissions as suggested earlier.
Yasu is a “Universal Binary” Macintosh utility that performs maintenance routines and clears the many cache files used by OS X. Yasu was designed to be a simple, first line of attack for a workstation that has started “acting up.” More often than not, a thorough purge of the cache files of a Mac will bring its behavior back into line.
http://jimmitchell.org/projects/yasu/
OnyX allows you to run misc tasks of system maintenance, to configure certain hidden parameters of the Finder, Dock, Safari, Dashboard, Expose, Disk Utility... to delete cache, to remove a certain number of files and folders that may become cumbersome, to see the detailed info of your configuration, to preview the different logs and CrashReporter reports, and more.

In my iphone6 finger sensor not working and some time iphone 6 screen also hang/pause for few seconds.

Try cleaning the sensor, remove all fingerprints from the settings, and the start over in recognizing prints. There are a number of things that make prints hard to read, sweat, lotion, dirty hands, etc.

WebDynpro program not working in some other place

Hi friends...
I am new to WDA... In my client place, i created one sample WebDynpro program.. it was worked fine...i could able to saw the output in Internet browser also...
now i am working in another project ( i mean another server) through remote login i am connecting that webdynpro program is not working...
even if i copy paste that link in Browser also its not coming...
what is the reason for this ? can't we use this program anywhere using internet ?
Give me some inputs...
Regards
Deva

>can't we use this program anywhere using internet ?
No, not necessarily. You can only access the application from places that the server is exposed to. Talk with your system administrators and network administrators to see how the system is exposed. Often internal systems like those that run SAP applications are behind firewalls and can only be accessed from within a corporation.

FTP Proxy not being denied (and some other questions)

I have a simple BM37+NW6SP5 test server for testing rules prior to moving them to production (2x BM38+NW65SP6). Recently we tried to block all access to FTP sites and allow only a select group of users access. The rules on the test proxy looked something like this:
1. Action: Deny / Source: Any / Access: URL / Dest: SurfControl
2. Action: Allow / Source: FTP_User_Group / Access: FTP Proxy / Dest: Any
3. Action: Allow / Source: WWW_User_Group / Access: URL / Dest: Any URL
Default Rule:
4. Action: Deny / Source: Any / Access: Any / Dest: Any
Yet with this setup, anybody in the WWW_User_Group (but not in the FTP_User_Group) was able to access FTP. I temporarily closed the hole by doing this ruleset:
1. Action: Deny / Source: Any / Access: URL / Dest: SurfControl
2. Action: Allow / Source: FTP_User_Group / Access: FTP Proxy / Dest: Any
3. Action: Deny / Source: Any / Access: FTP Proxy / Dest: Any
4. Action: Allow / Source: WWW_User_Group / Access: URL / Dest: Any URL
Default Rule:
5. Action: Deny / Source: Any / Access: Any / Dest: Any
I don't understand why I have to explicitly deny access to FTP Proxy for this to work. I think the rule that grants access to URL for WWW_User_Group is also allowing FTP access. If I turn that rule into a Deny rule in the first ruleset, it deny's all FTP (as well as all HTTP).
Also, we are using SurfControl to block access to certain categories. I read that the URL rule only affects port 80 requests (which would seem weird when its affecting my ftp proxy over port 21 above). How would I go about blocking those same categories over HTTPS?
Finally, does anybody have any general guidelines on how many rules should exist in a typical medium business BM environment (assuming modern hardware)? I'm trying to get the customer to avoid adding so many adhoc rules as the production environment is pretty complex which is why I am testing on a test proxy with few rules to avoid accidental rule overlap. I'm going to have to do an audit of their existing production environment and prefer the KISS principle when it comes to rule definitions.
P.S. Since most sites require both a HTTP and HTTPS rule, almost every desired "rule" in BM needs to be repeated twice to allow (or deny) secure communication as most websites switch to SSL from the launcher (non-ssl) parent page. The rulebase expands quite quickly and gets confusing due to this.

Then you're doing something wrong or you're not telling the whole
settings. your rule was calling nds groups so you need authentication
enable and the checkbox for " Authenticate only when user......."
unchecked. Then the syntax once you open the connection to the ftp proxy
is ndsusername@[email protected]. In your example there is not
nds authentication.
you do not need ANY rule to block a single site. The default rule will
do for you. If you do not make an specific allow one, then sites will be
blocked.
Even if I use a web
> browser and access it as ftp://, it should use the FTP protocol, not
> the HTTP protocol.
When your browser is configure to go thru proxy and you access a ftp
site, you'll hit two situations with IE:
1. With default settings, IE will use its miniftp client build in and
try to access the ftp site directly. that can fail if there is a
firewall stopping this traffic as it will bypass bm.
2. If the option "enable ftp folder view" is unchecked and the "use pasv
ftp..." checked, IE will encapsulate ftp traffic into http and send it
to border, to the http proxy. So bm gets http traffic, remove the http
envelope and makes a ftp connection to the ftp server. But to apply
rules, this is a http traffic thru http proxy. A single LAN trace on the
server will show you this behavior
Firefox always uses the configured proxy settings.

You;re exaggerating here.You will need indeed an port 443 rule but this
is how it works. SSL traffic and normal http traffic are two very
different things. But with a single allow all port 443 you can
accomplish here. Read below
> So you're solution is to create a Destination ALL rule for Port 443.

The allow all port 443 it has to be placed after the surfcontrol one and
after other third party rule or websense or whatever you use to block
specific sites. that means that the allow all port 443 only will be hit
if surfcontrol and other rules above this one did not find a match. If a
match is find, bm applies the rule and stop reading so if it hits a site
that websense or SF blocks, it will block it, regardless of the allow
all port 443.
Also you can make an allow port 443 with a domain name destination, just
for specific destination
if sites are on the blocked category for SF then it will blocked. You
can go to SF website an check it and if it is not blocked then is a SF
problem not a bm and you should contact them.

Understanding Flex: Can it be used without Flash-knowledge, and some other questions

Hi.
I'm trying to understand how Flex works. My understanding is
that Flex is like the integration link between Flash-content and
.NET-applications on the web. We need rich interface on our
.NET-applications - without ActionScript-coding required from the
programmer's side.
Can this be acheived with Flex alone?
What is Coldfusion required for? Can Flex be used without it
to create the rich web interface?
Are basic components included and ready-to-be-used? What if
special components are needed? E.g. multi-level menu-tree or some
special data grid. Can this be developed by a Flash-programmer and
used as a "generic" component?
My reason for choosing this would be that we easily can
acheive great web-layouts that are Flash-based, and that interact
with our .NET-applications. Is this the product I'm looking for?
Thanks alot in advance! :D

It is absolutely possible to create complex custom components
in Flex and without FlashPro.
Flex can communicate with the server in several ways.
WebService: SOAP-based
HTTPService: XML over HTTP, (like REST and AJAX)
RemoteObject: uses proprietary amf protocol, needs Java or CF
on back-end
There are some others like URLLoader and sockets.
Unless you need your back end functionality to be generally
available to anonymous third parties (hence the wsdl), WebServices
are unnecessarily complex.
I prefer HTTPService, I post xml strings in the normal
name=value format to the server and use e4x xml as the resultFormat
in flex.
Even though you said "roughly", that is still an impossible
question to answer, there are too many variables: On the back-end,
do you need to install a database? Create the schema? or is some of
that part done already? On the front-end, How will you navigate the
records? See, too many variables.
The communication part is by far the easiest. Almost
negligible, although the Flash Player security can cause some
head-scratching!

ITunes update to 10.5 not working and stopped other programs?

I tried to update my iTunes today to 10.5 ready to update my iPhone to the iOS 5, but now its ruined everything!
It said that it didn't download properly and to uninstall and try again so I did, a lot.
Now, Safari and my Microsoft Office programs wont work either.
It keeps saying 'side-by-side configuration' isn't there or something.
I don't understand why it's doing this.
Help with getting itunes and safari back?
I've tried restarting the computer numerous times and system reboot/restore but no luck.

Good Luck,
I have tried 6 times to follow the step by step instruction to get this down load complete, failed everytime. Customer service suck. Called 5 times and got to speak with one person during all those calls. All he did was sent email to me regarding the complete uninstall instructions for the i tunes system. I followed every instruction line by line, again 5 times and got absolutley nothing. Been working on this since Tuesday. Ready to throw phone out the window. Does anyone else have a solution that will actually work.

Streaming problems and some other questions

1) i've read that some people have problems streaming youtube as well as me. but mine is terrible, i can't stream at all. my curve 8900 can barely stream with wifi.......why is this? is there any updates? ALSO, i have version 4.6, can i update this to a more recent blackberry version? if so, where? thank you! x p.s. i just tried with wifi now, and it doesn't stream at all, it says i may have either javascript turned off or old version of adobe flash player........
2) can we not have adobe flash?...because i can't stream any video off any website...
3) through an e-mail i was sent a pdf file and i opened it and i'm not sure if i saved it. if i did save it, where could it be stored? i've looked everywhere!
4) under 'setup' there is an 'interactive' button. what i that for?
5) BLUETOOTH PROBLEM: i've paired it and tried (when to media and done the 'recieve using bluetooth') and it didn't work. so i deleted the pair and tried it without, and still nothing. i've tried fixing some options in settings but still nothing...i think i played with the options a bit too much now...lol. but is there an ideas? please help. also, is there anything in options that i have changed which might be hindering the process (i.e. firewall)?
p.s. i read both manuals that came in the both and the help they provide is all common sense!...they need a more detailed manual in my opinion. Also, is there a number i can call for support/help for my questions regarding my 8900?
thank you! x

Many possible reasons -- poor coverage area, old OS, trying to use the full YouTube rather than their mobile site, etc.

No. Flash is not available for BB's at the present time. I'm pretty sure that your "any" words are overstated -- perhaps the sites you try cannot stream, but there are others who can stream, so any is a bit over the top.

Just send yourself another attachment...then pay attention when you save it, then go there and that should be the same place that older PDF should have gone.

Web dynpro ALV and some other questions

Hi All,
I have couple of question for experts.
I am very much new into Web Dynpro world, and i have one web dynpro application built by my old colleague.
I want to add search feature into the application so that out of 1000 records i could search one based on some field value, how can we achieve that ?
I have read lot abot ALV list in web dynpro, How to find that specific approach has been used into particular web dynpro application or not ?
Thanks for your time for reading my question and hope to get some response..
Pranav.

Hi Pranav,
Hope the following helps you.
Searching for a record based on some field value
You can have an input field (bound to a context attribute) in your view. Whatever you type in the field will now be associated with the context attribute in your context. Place a button on your view. Define an action for this button (e.g. SEARCH), in the property onAction of the button. Now, in the action handler for the button (ONACTIONSEARCH), access the context attribute (can be done using WD Code Wizard). Then using your business logic, get the date into another context attribute, which can be displayed in the view using a textview (or textviews)
Find whether ALV is used in your WD Application
Go to your WD Component, in the used components you should find a use for component SALV_WD_TABLE. Also, in one of the views, the Interface View TABLE of the ALV component will be embedded in its ViewContainerUIElement. This information can be found in the Window of your own WD Component.
Regards,
Neha

Aspect ratio and some other questions...

I haven't purchased an Apple TV yet (emphasizing YET) but I'm very interested and may make the leap tomorrow. I've been reading a lot on the discussion boards but still had a few questions. I have a widescreen 46" Samsung LCD TV that I'm planning to use as my primary TV. The wife and I have rented a few movies from the iTunes store and noticed the aspect ratio leaves the picture fairly small. I wasn't expecting a full screen picture, but something a little more than barely half the screen. Will the Apple TV improve the picture size or is this what I'm going to expect going forward? Any pictures would be great!
Second, as far as I've read, you cannot connect an external hard drive to the Apple TV itself, but if I hook it to my PowerBook and use my external HDD as my iTunes Library source, will everything work fairly seamlessly? I have an Airport Extreme base station so I'm hoping things work pretty well.
Next, between the 40GB and 160GB Apple TV's -- is there an overwhelming reason to get one or another?
And last (I think), I've started ripping some of my old movies using Handbrake and was curious how the picture comes out on an Apple TV after extracting from DVD's. I've been using the standard "Apple TV" settings within Handbrake.
Thanks in advance for the help, I appreciate it! BTW, definitely a BIG fan of the iTunes rentals!
Brad

I don't know what monitor you have but there is a fair chance it has a resolution of at least 1600 x 1000 which is why your 640 x 480 rental doesn't fill it although itunes does have an option tto show movies full screen.
Tv's typically have much lower resolutions than monitors and the output from the tv is matched to such resolutions. In short your rentals will fill the screen on your tv when played on the tv.
Many of us here use external drives attached to either a desktop or a laptop to hold out libraries, yes they work flawlessly.
We can't actually discuss methods for ripping commercial DVD's but needless to say handbrake does give good quality exports, I've used it on a few non commercial discs and found the results to be more or less the same quality as the original. In addition to the  preset I always enable 2 pass encoding.

Hello.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
