Is this a bug for 10.3.9 installation
Hi everyone especially mac experts
This is my first visit to this forum. I have been using my Powerbook g4 12 inch for 3 - 4 years, never had any problem til now!!
My mac has problem all the sudden, got hacked or something, I dont know, I cannot even restart, it hung since apple logo appear, only way is insert install disc + press C with only one option it allowed me to do "erase and install" no backup no upgrade!!!!
Anyway, that is not my question, it just a whining, my question is when i tried to reinstall with my installation CD that came with my powerbook and/or panther CD with 3 blacks and 1 codeX, which I got it when I was a member of developer connect. The series of problem are as follow
1. during installation of CD2, i got installation failure with error messages said some packages cannot install!!!
2. after i ignore (1), by click "quit" which is only one option anyway, os started to ask me to fill in all information include setting user name and password for admin account. so i did. Then I start to do "software update", and it failed to update/install QuickTime 7.x.x. Then i tried to download only, unpackage and install myself, it has the same results
3. From (2) i search solution on mac website by using winXP, and found that i have to remove some packages in /Library/../receipts/ and reinsert CD 2 again to reinstall, cool.. i will give it a shot. Unfortunately, it asked for admin password and i could not give a correct password, but i remember and have it written down on a paper. Then i check at Preference->account->admin and see it shows 7 digits or * instead of 9 digits. I wonder that someone might hacked into my computer and change it.
Therefore, I decide to reinstall again, this time, i spent more time by include erase disk with option "write zero to disk" and no network connection to make sure there is no trace from hacker! Unfortunately, I got the same problem from (1) to (3) without update software d/l. therefore, i believe (3)is a bug it is obvious from my observation, if i cannot solve (3) i will not be able to solve (1) and (2), and i will not have my mac back to work
Please give me advice, i already lost all my data and spent my weekend trying to fix these problems, which non can be fixed (yet)
Thanks in advance
Roam,
Thanks again for your suggestion,
"Furthermore one should always Repair Permissions both before doing a Software Update and again afterwards."
I honestly dont know anything about this "Repair Permissions" from the name, i though it is a verification of authentication to repair OS or some kind of credential issue, and since i m admin user then there is no point to verify it, i should be allowed to do so. Again it is my first time to do this thing in 3 - 4 years of using panther, every time i update software i never ever do this! If this step is essential for every update and installation why dont apple put them as one of TODO step during the processes (as licensing agreement) instead of keep them as an option (just my thought) Anyway, I m glad u tell me about it, and i will give it a shot tonight.
"That may because you didn't have sufficient disk space. In fact running out of disk space can create all sorts of problems. Please tell me how disk space is available on your
start up drive."
That what I thought coz i have only 5.x GB left in 60 GB HD. Thats why I claimed as whining and have to scarify the lost of data by reinstall panther in order to get my mac back to work
"So are you saying it is a bug or it is a hacker, I don't believe it is either"
Please see second update info about password, and i m not impose anyone to believe, thats why the topic is a questioning sentence "Is this a bug.."
"This Discussion site is not Applecare. The people here give their time voluntarily to those who are receptive to help."
Thats why i ask for "mac expert" not "apple authority/technician" and always appreciate any suggestion.
Anyway, that great to hear from you and i have learned new thing from your suggestion. I will let u know when i have tried it.

Is this a bug for drop down box in DS1.3?
I found that if there were many items (e.g. 50), when I clicked the arrow of the drop down box, it showed the items and then disappeared all the items except "ALL". I have to use "F4" key to display all the items and use scroll bar to show the items.
It is OK when there are few items and no scroll appears in the list.
Did anybody meet with the same problem?
Thank you.Roam,

Is this a bug for CTI Toolkit Agent desktop (Version 7.5.10510)
Hi,
Today I have found a strange thing with CTI Toolkit Agent desktop (Version 7.5.10510). One agent is logged in on CTI Toolkit agent desktop with his Agent ID (5101) to an extension 999111. Then from other PC another agent is also able to login on CTI Toolkit agent desktop with same Agent ID (5101) to the same extension 999111. Tough they are logged in with same agent ID and extension number from different PC but it is not desired that 2 person can login with same Agent ID and extension at a same time.
Can any one tell me that is this a bug or normal procedure.
Thanks,
AshfaqueHi,
this is normal (although it does not seem to follow any logic).
If you want to change this behavior, modify the following registry keys on the CTI OS server:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\Ctios\CTIOs_[instance]\CTIOS1\EnterpriseDesktopSettings\All Desktops\Login

IMessage automatically sends as SMS even if turned off in the Settings. Is this a bug for ios 6.0.1?
I know there's still bugs for iMessage and so when I'm not on wifi but the iMessage is turned on, I don't wait for the iMessage to fail sending. I press and hold the message to send it as text message instead immediately. Then the recepient tells me that they receive my text messages twice. So what I did today, I sent an iMessage without being connected to wifi and let it attempt to send and let it fail. To my surprise, after failing as iMessage, it automatically sent as an SMS when I had that setting turned off. Do I make sense? Do you guys also experience the same problem?
When imessage is unavailable it sends it as SMS - that is normal see link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529

Hi all!
I'm testing WLS5.1sp4; I encounter a strange behavior; I've developed a
simple servlet that write a simple string on browser window.
When I run it in a non-clustered environment it works fine;
in clustered environment (WLS5.1 sp4 as proxy and 2 WLS5.1sp4 in cluster)
servlet respond with an infinitive loop of HTML code as follow:
<html>
<head><title>WithoutSession</title></head>
<body>WithoutSession
</body></html>
<html>
<head><title>WithoutSession</title></head>
<body>WithoutSession
</body></html>

<head><title>WithoutSession</title></head>
<body>WithoutSession
</body></html>
<html>
<head><title>WithoutSession</title></head>

and so on.
Is this a bug for sp4 or am I wrong in something?
Thanks in advance.
Francis,
What type of data are you trying to insert? Are you working with BLOBs?

Is this a bug in OWB 11.2 - importing table metadata for character columns
The Oracle® Warehouse Builder Data Modeling, ETL, and Data Quality Guide provides an overview of the data types supported.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10935/orcl_data_objx.htm
It says that for VARCHAR2 data type it saws (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10935/orcl_data_objx.htm#CHDFIADI )
"Stores variable-length character data. How the data is represented internally depends on the database character set. The VARCHAR2 data type takes a required parameter that specifies a maximum size up to 4,000 characters"
That means , I guess, it says that when I import a table, any columns of type VARCHAR2(10) in the database should have its length show as characters in OWB, so a column of type Varchar2(10) in the Oracle database, should be shown as Varchar2(10) when imported into OWB table metadata via the OWB import function.
However, if I have a database that set-up as a single-byte and import a table using the OWB import function a column that has a size of e.g. 10 in the database, is imported as OWB table metadata and the size is 10. Correct, I am happy.
However, if the database is modified to support multi-byte characters, ALTUF16 encoding with the semantics set to "CHAR", then when I import the same table into OWB, OWB reports the size as 40, I guess its 40 bytes as in 10 characters @ 4 bytes per character.
Is this a bug in OWB, as the datatype in the Oracle DB is varchar2(10), should OWB after importing a table not also report the column as VARCHAR2(10) ? Currently, is shows the column as varchar2(40).I noticed that myself in our project.
Our varchars2 are defined as VARCHAR2(xxx CHAR) - OWB puts the size*4
In fact if you have special characters like umlauts (ü,ä,ö,...) it will use 4 bytes per character.
You can try it yourself. Define a Varchar2(1 CHAR) and manually change the size of the Column in your mapping inside OWB (in filters, joins or your target table).
Then shoot an umlaut through the mapping and will end up with a "too small" error.
Dont mind the size*4 issue - we totally ignored it and run without error since 4 years now. -
I am based in the UK and have just got a new iphone 6, everything works well except when i try to turn on the itunes store app - i can do a search and buy music etc that way, within the app, however, if i go to Music, Movies or the TV shows section within the Store app, i get a message come up saying "Item Not Available" - This item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store, but it is available in the US store. Tap Change Store to view this item". I therefore cannot browse the music, movies or tv shows sections at all, nothing shows up except that message. All my previous itunes purchases have downloaded ok, and i can access them. My apple ID works fine and restrictions on the iphone are turned OFF. The App Store app works normally. Connection etc is all fine and I can access itunes in the normal way on my ipad and laptop, so this is just an iphone problem. Any ideas? is this a bug? I cant find anyone else with exactly the same problem. By the way, the same message comes up when i click on the red Music icon, on the iphone (situated next to the Safari icon) and then go to the "Store" via that app. my playlists are in tact, but as soon as i click that Store button, I am told that the Item is unavailable - not that i have chosen any Item lol, I just want to access the store in the normal way. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can give
It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

Is this a bug in Safari for iOS ??
http://www.clfsrpm.net/sample/
The control buttons above playlist display just fine in every Android, Linux, and Windows browser I have used - including Safari for Windows.
However they do not display properly in Safari for iOS as tested on my iPod (but they do display correctly in Opera Mini for iPod)
Is this a bug in Safari for iOS ??Why was this moved to "Using iPhone" ??
It is a question about Safari for iOS - not iPhone/iPod usage. -
When you scroll to the bottom of the list of files in Finder, the left to right scrollbar doesn't let you click the last file and it covers the file for a while until it disappears. Is this a bug? How do I not make that happen?
An odd workaround: click "Always" in System Preferences/General/Show scroll bars. The scroll bars will always show, but they won't cover your last file.

When reading my book on iBooks, I encounter duplicate pages for many pages then it skips the pages that should be there so I am missing large parts to chapters, is this a "bug" in the book or app? How can this be fixed?
Does the same thing happen on any other books that you have in the app ? If not then it's probably just that one book, in which can you could try deleting the book and re-downloading it - if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' from your purchase history :http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

OBIEE 10G Total by in answers not correct for count distinct fields. Is this a bug?
For example:
Sales fact has receipt no and line no as key. It has data like:
receipt no, line no, value
1, 1, 30
1, 2, 40
2, 1, 10
2, 2, 10
There is also a transaction field defined as count distinct of receipt no (in BMM)
In answers, I set to show Total.
without any filters:
receipt no, value, transactions
1, 70, 1
2, 20, 1
total: 90, 2
Transactions is 2, which is correct.
If apply filter of transaction value greater than 50.
Then transactions in total will still show 2
1, 70, 1
total: 70, 2
Is this a bug? It looks only SUM works no problem in the total by.I did look at the physical query and saw how it calculated the Total transactions and it didn't take into account of the filter of transaction value greater than 50. Don't know why though. I don't know why you want to count line no. The result would be still 2.

When images appear for a search in safari, you must continually scroll by finger to keep the images loading. Is this a bug?
Tried that but no change. Details - open up safari and go to yahoo - for the main search at the top, I put in Bears. It shows pages of thumbnail pics. tapping once on a thumbnail gets you that image and then tap again to get added info. At that point, it fills the screen. But in order to see more info I have to drag a finger upward to reveal more of the details. I then have to continually do that in order to reveal more details for the searched item. It then pops up to the top each time and repeating that process many times in order to see more of the image data. Don't know how to fix this.
Thanks -
