Is variable offsets can be used for characteristics, text and formulas?

hi all,
can anyone let me know whether variable offsets can be used for characteristics, text and formulas.
if so cany one send me examples of using offsets to my email id [email protected]

You use offsets on dates (0CALMONTH, 0FISCYEAR, 0DAT and so on) and of course the corresponding texts.
If you have 0CALMONTH in your query and you want to do the same thing not only for the current month but for the past twelve months, they you just minus 1, 2....11,12 for each selections, and at the same time you can create text variable for the description of each month.
thanks.

Directory Damage, what can be used for Disk Repair and Virus Detection?

Hi,
My eMac is acting up. Yesterday I started getting these messages that I needed to restart my computer (message was in a brown box window with an icon of a start up button in background).
I did the disk repair using Start up CD and it came back with "invalid key......." or something like that, and when I tried to repair it, it tried to repair the B-Tree's but then said it could not repair the problem.
I have Diskwarrior 3.03 Build 39, on a CD and on my FW Ext HD, which has a clone of my Mac HD.
Diskwarrior could not produce a graph of Mac HD because the directory was damaged. When I did a rebuild it hung on step 9 comparing directories, said there was 7 million + tests. ( I let it hang on step 9 for 15 hrs. to see if maybe it was just taking a long time due to corrupt directory). I finally clicked on Skip and got to the report page. I could do a preview, but the replace button is greyed out. When I was comparing the sizes of each folder, in both preview and original, I got a can not calculate error message on a few of them. The size of Mac HD in preview compared to the one in Original was different by 4 gbs. A week ago I repaired the Mac HD and did a Diskwarrior directory repair on all my HD's.
Before I do any reformatting of HD or other drastic measures, I was wondering what is safe to use for disk repair and virus detection. I know there is Norton System Works 3.0, Norton AntiVirus and TechTool, are these the only ones? Are these safe to use? Are there any other programs that can repair directory damage?
Thank you in advance,
Deb

The long-standing rule of thimb has been that if Disk Warrior can't repair a mungled disk directory, then you're looking at reformatting or replacing the hard drive. Since this is a week-old hard drive, I'd suspect the replacement hard drive is itself bad. It might save you grief in the long run to contact the vendor who sold you the drive and inquire about their warrenty. You might want to first run the file system check utility fsck as described in Using Disk Utility and fsck
Directory repair and antivirus protection are different critters. Norton AV is mostly safe (if you don't mind it's track record of false positives) and is used by the IT department at the lab where I work. Norton SystemWorks, AKA Disk Doctor Kervorkian, is most assuredly NOT safe. For every poster reporting something nice about it, you'll find at least 2 dozen cursing it. It has a known track record of detecting problems no other utility finds and of "repairing" drives such that nothing can then read or repair the drive short of low-level reformatting (and occasionally even that fails).
Tech Tool Pro 4 has a good reputation, as does Drive Genius. Tiger OS X 10.4.2 and later include a version of Disk Utility that can for the first time also make effective B-tree and keys out of order and overlapped extent repairs. Still, my personal gut feeling is that if Disk Warrior is choking on the hard drive, you're looking at reformatring while zeros the drive (zeroing should detect and map out bad physical secotrs).
You can also refer to Disk First Aid: What to do when it finds an error and to Handling "overlapped extent allocation" errors reported by Disk Utility or fsck

What brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" internal Hard Drive?

what brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" aluminium internal Hard Drive?
can I use WD caviar black?
is it too hot?

If you are replacing the drive because the existing one is faulty, that's one thing. If you just want more space, you should take advantage of having a decently fast and relatively small capacity drive in there now (instead of a huge drive). Get an external FireWire drive and off-load most of your user data there. Make your internal drive dedicated to mostly your OS and app files, with plenty of free space. That setup will make your iMac run more efficiently. I won't go into more detail, because I'm not answered your specific question... You can post back with any questions, if interested...
To answer your questions...
You should be able to use any SATA 3.5-inch drive internally, but you should probably keep it at or under 1TB. The main concerns are power usage and heat dissipation. A drive like the WD Caviar Green would be ideal in terms of power and heat, but they do have slower (or variable) spin rate. I have one as an external drive (750GB) and it is amazingly quiet and cool. If I had to replace the internal drive because the current drive failed, I'd put it inside. I'll trade a bit of pure performance for the efficiency (including low noise), and these drives are more advanced with higher data density and larger cache, so the trade-off from slower spin rate may not be so bad.
You can check your current drive's model number (which is shown in System Profiler) to get the specs online. The stock drive in my old +Late 2006+ iMac is a 7200 RPM drive. The Caviar Black is a 7200 RPM drive, with a newer design. So if you want to use a Caviar Black in there, I think it would be OK.

System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

Greetings
                                    - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
server -
Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
partition on each source hard drive is not included.
Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
Server A good.
Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
"The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
Server A SRP 100MB C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Server B SRP 100MB C: 102GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.

"If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring." Doesnt apply here.
http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
Thank you so much.

Hello,
1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
correct order in the hardware.
4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline.
5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
should be present with minimum size requirement.
6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

HT201251 I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager

The only limit is that of the device. No restrictions on how much of it you can use for music. Is part of your music library unchecked?
