Is there a point where yoy give up?

I really want my ipod, but I have been wondering if I need to be less fussy or give it up. I returned my first ipod because it froze 4 times in two weeks, once taking my desktop with it. I returned the second one b/c it froze a couple of times, in the first day, and its battery power lasted 2 hours less than the first ipod. Both times the store techs encouraged me to just exchange them. The third was dropped by the store tech, out of the package, and disconnected from his computer (he was trying to rollback the 1.2 firmware it came with, but failed) while it said do not disconnect, and the computer was restarted with the ipod attached saying do not disconnect. When I got it home, the television show catagory was not listed in the menu, so my television shows would not sync. So, I am I a nut to keep returning them, or have I just had bad luck?

You know dude, I think you may be on to something here.
I've had three iPods in my life, two 3G and a new 5G.
The two 3G both stopped working 1 to 2 years after getting them. Both had battery replacements. One only works plugged into AC, the other does not work at all.
the 5G is on the fritz now.
I feel like i'm being taken advantage of. I keep buying them, and applecare, and end up getting only 1 to 2 years of solid use out of them.
I think after this one, i'm going to "give it up"

With older imacs, is there a point when you SHOULDN'T upgrade to latest OS?

I may have worded that poorly but basically what I'm after is this: I know Apple lists the compatible Macs going back X number of years with each OS update, but is there a point where one is better off staying put with say Mountain Lion on iMac 21.5 Late 2009 (12GB RAM) vs. updating to Mavericks and eventually Yosemite. Obviously, the newer the machine the better apt it is to take advantage of the newer OS, however will taking on latest OS actually slow down an old Mac? Is this making any sense?

I disagree. My 2009 MacBook ran Mavericks very well. Better, gasp, than Snow Leopard.
Mavericks is designed to be more efficient than previous OSes and should run well on the hardware that Apple says will support it.
If you're alrady running Mavericks, I wouldn't downgrade. As you guess, you'll have problems with existing apps you've installed that may not work with 10.6. Not to mention the lack of security updates. You'll be exposing yourself to all sorts of known vulnerabilities by downgrading.
Stay are you are. You might not see the value in upgrading to Yosemite, but I wouldn't backtrack now.

Trying to update iPhone. Cannot get past the point where I accept iCloud conditions etc. There is no way to continue. What can I do. I can´t use my phone

When registering the phone, you should be able to choose later or basically not now at the upper right hand side. Most of what I think it will at least have you do is sign into your Apple ID but thats it.

Is there a way where I can give an HTML File and pass database values to it?

Hello,
I have a Report that has Complex Layout with different Fonts,sizes etc.
After designing it in Front Page, the HTML Source comes to be around 180 KB. Portal Reports with Custom Layout fail to get this size of layout code( seems the limit is around 32KB).
Writing my own stored Package using htp/htf calls, but still I needed to paste this entire 180KB Code and replace the layout names with database names. This works fine but the readability of this code is ugly.
Is there a way where I can feed the database values as parameters along with the HTML File to pick substitute and then
show me the output?
Thank you.
Madhav

you can use dynamic pages!

Sometimes I can't get out of Day view in iCal. There is no where on the screen to select month view, even when I close it out and go back into iCal.

Sometimes I am locked in "day" view in iCal. There is no where on the screen to choose "month" view, even when I close it out and open again. Tapping anywhere on the screen or scrolling doesn't help.

Give this a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try full screen again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

HT5012 I have a first generation Iphone 5 and my question is why is my phone heating up so bad to the point where its almost to hot to touch on the back. On top of that the battery is dieing so fast that it usually lasts about 3 hrs on a full charge. Help

So basically my iPhone 5 has been heating up so bad that it feels like its about to over heat and die. I've never had this happen to any other of my iPhones. On top of that the battery is dying so fast that on a full charge is lasts about 3 hrs give or take. Ive tried closing all my apps like i usually do anyways, i tuned down the light, I've reset it and booted it back up, reset it and used iCloud backup, ext... Nothing is working. I'm to the point where i almost want to get a new phone. I even tried calling apple support and they couldn't help me cause from what it sounded like they had no idea what they were doing. If anyone has any comments on how to fix this i would greatly appreciate it . I do love apple products and i have a upgrade and plan on upgrading my phone when the new one comes out but for the time being IDE like to fix the phone i have now that I've only had for a little bit anyways. Thanks

You are probably going to have to take a trip to the Apple Store, but you can also make sure that:
Bluetooth is turned off when not in use
Location Services are only turned on for those locations that you want a constant update to
Background App Refresh is turned off
Automatic Downloads is turned off
Cellular Roaming is turned off when you don't need it
Go through your Settings and take a look at all of the settings to determine if you have any turned on that may be using a lot of battery, and which you really don't need.

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions to verify acct, but I have no email in my inbox, even after resending multiple times.

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

Why would firefox be using so much memory that the application itself freezes to the point where I have to force the program to end?

For the past few days, I've been doing research for a presentation that I am doing for college. As I've been using Firefox, the program freezes to the point where I have to force the program to terminate. I have a computer with 8 gigs of ram and an i5 quad core processor running at 2.8 ghz. There are no viruses or spyware on the system, and there isn't anything else running. There are no addons applied to my browser, and no personas. There should be no memory issues to the point where an internet browser would freeze this badly.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Is there a point?

Last night I finally tried to install the new iOS4 onto my iPhone 3G. Like most people, it was nothing but problems. I waited over 2 hours for it to backup, before I finally gave in, and stopped it. I tried again thinking something had just glitched on it. It happened again, so I stopped it again and gave up. I googled any problems with it, and low and behold, its a common issue.
I have read many posts about how it will download faster if you backup, and then do a restore on your phone. I'm not sure if this will cause more problems in the end. I use windows, not a mac, and I have heard people having issues with restoring. I'm not really willing to lose half my stuff over a new OS.
I read further and found out that the new update is slowing the iPhone 3G down to a horrible speed. Because the 3G isn't already slow enough after 2 years? Lol.
Is there a point to downloading the new OS? Are there actually some good experiences with it out there? Someone? Anyone?
I am upgrading to the new iPhone 4 as soon as Apple lets Canada have it. (Thanks for screwing Canada again Apple!) So I'm undecided whether this is worth it for me to waste the next 8 hours loading something onto my working 3G or if I should just wait an extra month or 2 for the new iPhone4.
Thanks! =)

I would wait for the new phone to come to you. when i tried the update i lost my pictures, settings and ringtones on my phone. i had to sit on the phone with apple for an hour to reset my phone because the update corrupted my old backup folder in itunes with all my stuff in it. not worth the update for the 3g because it doesnt give you all the features like multitasking...and i have found it has slowed my phone down alot..apple is also only releasing like 1 million new phones a month so you may be waiting longer than 2 months. even people who pre-ordered are being pushed back because so many people have wanted this phone but still worth the wait i think.

Is there any point in a G4 render farm?

Hi all.
I've been getting quite intrested in the idea of setting up a very small render farm laterly as I have the option of getting some old G4s for free.
I currently have a 2.0Ghz DP G5 as my main mac running FCP2 and Shake and was already grabbing a G4 466 digital audio to set up as a file/print and back up server running tiger server, a postscript RIP and retrospect. I have the possibility of getting atleast one more G4 466 DA and maybe a couple of G4 400 AGPs with Gigbit ethernet cards. As the main use would be farming out DV to mpg2 compression via compressor and shake renders (though not large shake stuff to begin with as very new to this) is there any point in looking into this or am I going to need to lots of G4s to make a real improvement in render times.
Also is RAM a major consideration. For example if I got 4 G4s with say 512Mb ram would it be better runing all four or using three but nicking the fours ram to give more ram in the three machine set up?
Any advice would be appreciated
Cheers
Steve

I vote no. G4 isn't the problem so much as 400mhz is. The ram shouldn't be a problem.
But you could test if you set up Compressor on one G4. Compress a job. Compress the same job with the same settings on the G5.
If the G5 is 4 times (or even 3, since time is spent sending the render data over the network between the G4's slow system busses) as fast the single G4, a render farm will not help you.
Using the G4 and G5 together in the same cluster does not work because Compressor looks at all processors and divides the job into twice as many segments. In this case, the G5 finishes it's two segments years before the G4's and then sits around waiting. You could try splitting the G5 into 4 instances, but then you have 8 slow processors attacking your job. Not very efficient.
Good luck though. You should test the one G4 just so you know. Report back if you do.

Debug VA01 at the point where output gets triggered

Hi buddies,
I need the point where output type ZOC1 is getting triggered while saving a sales order in VA01. I have put numerous breakpoints in the output type print program but it is not taking me there at the 1st instant when I save the sales order. Later, when I check the print preview, at that time I am being taken to the print program. How do I check where the output program is getting called in VA01 ?
Request someone to help me out with this.
Thanks,
Dikshitha

1st time the LDC field is coming in the print preview (after saving) but it is not coming in the print out of the order confirmation. The order confirmation print out comes out as soon as the sales order is saved.
2nd time the LDC comes in the preview and the print out.
You can see the LDC field in the additional data B tab of the material. After I enter a date in this field and save, the order confirmation printout goes to the user. What happens in the backend is that the LDC field first goes and gets updated in the text of the material (order confirmation text) and has to get printed along with what ever is already there in the text. But the problem here is that the text gets printed the 1st time and the LDC gets printed only the 2nd time.
So what I think is that by the time the LDC gets updated in the text, the text is already being printed. Thats the reason we are able to see the LDC when the output is triggered for the 2nd time and not when it is triggering the 1st time.
I need to get this on the printout the 1st time itself. I was thinking of giving a delay of 20 or 30 seconds just before the output program is getting called in VA01.

Is there a point where yoy give up?
