Is there a way to verify if a projector lamp is truly in need of replacement?

We have an Acer H5370BD that is approximately two years old. It has seen very little use and, in fact, has been in its original box on a shelf for the last 8 months. Recently, we plugged the projector in and the lamp will not turn on. The standby light turns on when we plug it in, and the standby light turns blue when we press the power button. The unit is then silent for a few seconds, then beeps and the fan kicks on. At no point does the lamp light up, even a little. This cycle of silence, beeping, and fan blowing happens about 4-6 times before the "Lamp" light on top of the unit begins to flash. Presumably, this means the lamp needs replacement, but as previously stated, it should be nowhere near the end of its life. Before shelling out $200+ for a new lamp, are there any visual indications on the current lamp I should be looking for that would suggest it indeed needs replacement (perhaps yellowing or black marks on the bulb, etc.)? I pulled the lamp out of the projector and it looks pristine, as far as I can tell.

Hi, Look in your Manuals Appendix it will have a troubleshooting guide you can read.. it will show you on Page 45 the LED & Alarm Definition list.. ie, If the Lamp LED Is flashinf red quick flashing that indicates a color wheel issue.. If it is just red that indicates the lamp.. Check your Manual for the others..

Is there a way to verify SAP certification credentials?

Hi,
Is there a way to verify SAP certification credentials?
I passed the test and did not receive any materials from SAP
Trying to figure out if I can be verified by myself.
I am not sure which forum to post this question.
I could not find suitable forum for this. If anyone knows a better place, please advise me so.
Since I regularly contribute to this place, I have started with this forum.
Thanks

I don't know how to close this unless I mark this answered. Do I miss any?

Is there a way to delete the Apple ID on one device (IPhone 5) and replace the ID on that device with an existing ID used on three other devices?

Is there a way to delete the Apple ID used on one device (IPhone5) and replace it with another ID that is being used on three other devices?

If you have turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My you will have to start by turning that off - requires entering the Apple ID password. Then remove the Apple ID from all places it is used, i.e., Messages, FaceTime, and so on. Go to the App Store and then Sign Out. Now you can enter the desired Apple ID and password in all of those places.

I just noticed that all my calendar events (other then yearly recurring) past the last 30 days are no longer on my calendar. Is there a way to retrieve them or are they lost? I need them for my business!!

Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.

Is there a way to verify the contents of my Vault?

I have recently attempted to move my vault to another drive and the process stopped part way through, the receiving drive ( Verbatim Firewire 500 Gig.) stopped and I got the "a drive has been improperly disconnected" type error message and the following pop-up:
and this when I tried to eject the source drive (WD My Book 500 Gig.)
I was able to eject it after a relaunch of Finder and a restart of my iMac I did a disk repair to both the WD drive and the Verbatim drive. The latter had some errors in "Volume" information which were repaired by disk utility and I tried to move the Vault again with the same result again so I wonder whether the Vault file is corrupted and need to know if there is a way to verify the integrity of the files contained in it.

Hi Kieran,
You can read and set the tool tips using the .assist.toolTip property:

Is there any way to verify or repair an MP3 File?

I've got a Rio Cali MP3 Player. I occasionally have problems with MP3's -- they won't play. I may upload 140 tracks to the Rio's memory card, and out of the 140, 3 or 4 tracks won't play. They play fine in iTunes and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them, however they won't play on the Rio, even if I reload them.
This makes me suspect that there is something wrong with the MP3 file, however I can't figure out what's wrong or how to verify the file.
Is there some way I can check and repair a damaged MP3 file -- perhaps a mac or unix utility?

MP3Trimmer will give you a report of what problems it
encountered. You will have to scroll through a long
list of the frames though. Unfortunately as you have
pointed out it does not batch process files,
something i have long asked him to implement, amongst
other things.
The report may identify that there were problems
which at least tells you were you stand.
Thanks. I'll take a closer look at MP3Trimmer and see if I can figure out exactly what's happening with the error files.
Definitely try changing your format for those
particular problem files and see if that fixes
things.
The other thing is to examine your original CD for
defects if the problems reappear at the same point. I
have found that CD drives with diferent lasers can
give different results. When my slower dual layer
DVD/CD drive in my iMac G5 fails me I will often
successfully use my high speed external CD burner.
Also give the CD a careful wipe with an optical
(glasses) cloth it may just be a smudge or grime on
the surface.
I have had problems with CDs. I typically copy all the AIFF's to my HD first, and have had some files not copy. I usually try cleaning the disk or use a different CD reader for those files. I usually manage to get all the AIFFs onto my HD, where I run an Applescript that renames the files. I then import them into iTunes where i rip them and add ID3 tags. They rip and play fine i iTunes.
I noted your settings. I do a heck of a lot of what
you are talking about and have a How to make
Audiobooks "manual" floating around the net.
I'll do some trolling and see if I can find it.
I suggest you forget the VBR, it makes little
difference to a 32kbs MP3 ripped from a good quality
source but as I have noted seems less reliable.
Sounds like a good suggestion. I haven't done any size comparisons with and without VBR, but I suspect it's pretty negligible.
Also I suggest you join the tracks into one file per CD,
usually 30-60mins long and much less cumbersome than
hundreds of meaninglessly divided tracks.
That alone may ride over your problem.
That might get pretty labor-intensive especially for a 10 or 15 disk set. Plus, the Rio chokes on big files -- I think it's more than the ram can handle. I've downloaded a few books from iTunes and have had to cut them up into smaller segments. I've also found it easier to bookmark smaller files than to try to scroll thru a 30 min track to find the spot where you left off.

When I try to open a document sized 9" by 18", Reader opens it as standard 8.5" by 11". Is there a way to resize the frame in Reader? Do I need a different software?

The document is a seating chart for my wedding. I made the document in Word because of instructions from this site: http://mrsfancee.com/chalkboard-seating-chart/
When I save it as a pdf, Reader just fits what it can from the original document into the standard page settings and cuts off parts of my document. Is there a way to make this work with the Word document? Or do I need to start all over in a different software? I'm kind of panicking because it's for my wedding in 11 days, and apparently I don't know what I'm doing at all.
Sidenote: I called Microsoft already and they told me the problem isn't on their end, so that's not an option.
Thank you in advance.

What are you using to save as a pdf? Reader doesn't have anything to do with creating the pdf. If you are simply using the "Save As>PDF in Word then yes, it's a Microsoft issue. No Adobe product is involved in that part. Adobe Reader is only seeing what is created.
But, when you say it's being cut off do you mean it's cutting it off in the pdf itself or is it all visible in the pdf but is being cut off when you print?

You need a "bulk renamer" to do this.
I personally use ABetterFinderRename, but there are cheaper and some that are free. ABFR has a free trial.
Renamer4Mac is cheap. Check the App Store too.

Is there a way to verify a database write?

I am writing to a access database but get inconsitent writes.
Sometimes it is written, sometime not without any way of me knowing when this will happen.
I am able to double check the write afterwards with Access but I woul like to programatically confirm that I have written to the database.
The Setup: access 2007 connected via ODBC over a local network.
attached is a simple vi to insert text data to a table in the database "testDataBase"

I will use my current situation as an example.
I am writing data to tables in a database for testing of a piece of instrumentation. This data will later be used for statistical analysis on the quality of the instruments and verification of design stability.
Issuing an insert command does not guarantee and actual write to the database in my situation. Thus I must verify that it is written correctly. The database Connectivity toolset should be reporting errors yet it is not.
This causes uncertainty in the data collected as there are missing pieces of data.
I have for testing purposes implemented the 2nd option, to try to find the unique keys I have issued to the database. If they exist that is proof that data has been written.
The unique keys come from linked tables.
I would like to attempt to implement the first option from Mikeporter. But it will take more time to test and I have been tasked with other duties. Hopefully in a week I have completed my testing and can implement it.

Is there a way to verify if my Macbook's all right after a fall?

I bought my Macbook Pro back in 2007, and until tonight I've never done anything worse than dropping it an inch or so onto my mattress, which is hardly going to cause damage. Tonight, though...it slid off a chair and fell three feet onto hard, tiled floor, impacting along the left side of the laptop.
None of the areas are showing the insides of the computer, there are just small misalignments and a few pretty small gaps, but I really don't know enough about computers to tell if everything inside is all right, and my Applecare expired months ago. And since I'm utterly broke, I seriously can't afford to send it in and pay out of pocket, or buy a new machine.
I know the SMART status is verified, and the few functions I've tried since the fall - opening, using, switching, and closing programs, as well as adjusting volume and lighting - all seem fine. There was a minute right after, though, when Finder stopped responding and then nothing but the mouse was working. I left it alone and it swung back into action pretty quickly, but it definitely makes me nervous, I don't want to take anything for granted.
So yes. My question boils down to this - are there any programs I could install, tests I could run, or anything else I could examine, to determine whether or not the hardware is still all right?

Run the Hardware tests from the install DVD by inserting it and holding down d at a restart, that will check everything and give you a good idea of how it's doing.

Is there a way to verify the authenticity of OS X Installation media?

Hi,
I have been having problems with a computer being compromised and after so many re-installs, I am beginning to suspect the installation media itself. Does anyone have or know of an md5 checksum or any other hash for the disks? Is there any other method that can be used to verify their authenticy? I have:
Mac mini
Mac OS X Install Disk 1
Mac OS X version 10.4.7
AHT version 3A102
Disc version 1.1
2Z691-5887-A
Mac OS X Install Disk 2
Disc version 1.0
ZZ691-5860-A
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Hi! The installation process normally check the media for verification. Your continued installation problems may point to another problem. Often bad ram can write bad data to a drive or the drive itself can be the problem. The cases of a bad install dvd are rare. I'd pull ram except for the original stick, then I'd zero the hard drive and try again. Otherwise the most likely suspect is a bad logic board. Have you run the hardware test disc? Tom

Is there a way to verify that the dvd drive is acting up?

I think my dvd drive is on the fritz, but I'd like to somehow verify that before I take it into an apple store (it's still under apple care).
Not too long ago I noticed that when I ripped cds with the drive, then there would be some cracks and pops during the quiet parts of the resulting mp3s. (well, at least it was more noticeable during the quiet parts.) I would not encounter this problem when I then ripped the same cds with an external drive.
dvds play fine, but when I attempt to burn dvds (using Toast), I often get a "bad sector" error during the verification step. And then when I try to watch the dvd it will play for a little bit but then pause (although I can sometimes jump ahead and have it play fine).
The drive is the UJ-845E one.
Is there diagnostic thing that I can run that will say "hey dude, your dvd drive has this problem: ..."?

You will find that more often than not the problem is simply the use of Bad Cheap Incompatible Media.
There are 2 handfulls of media manufactures out there and of them only 2 or 3 are what I consider Excellent. The rest are JUNK.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
If your Optical Media will play CD's and DVD's Commercial Music, and Commercial Movies.
And will burn then 9 times out of 10 the problem like you describe is from Bad Media you are using.
I find that using Maxell 16X DVD-R media that comes in the individual jewel cases are outstanding.
Reason this media 1st is DVD-R and is recognizable by 93 to 94% of all players and computers.
2nd it is rated as one of those of highest quality.
3rd This media will burn at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 16X, meaning you don't have to look for older media that matches your or other slower Burners. It will simply work.
Next with the technology always changing be sure you have Toast 7 or higher to avoid problems, I personally prefer Popcorn.
There is a lot to learn and many tricks to learn as well to avoid problems with your burn.
You have just learned the most important.
