Lab computers dropping like flies from my school's RD client list.

Re-scanning does nothing. Clients running os 10.8.4. Been going on 4 a month now. Any stability updates? Seems Apple is abandoning RD. Shame. Great tool for a teacher's computer lab.

Dropping like flies.

My G4 iBook, (was) running 10.4.8, won't boot.
I get the grey screen with the apple logo and the water wheel and very occasionally I get beyond that to a blue screen with no interactivity, and even more rarely I get the list of user accounts appear, but nothing beyond that.
It won't even boot from the OS DVD (holding C when switching on).
I'm guessing that since I have seen the list of users showing since the problem began that it's not a memory or motherboard issue.
Could it be the battery?
I did remark to the good lady wife only a couple of weeks ago that it might need a new battery.
Just an idea, is it possible and safe to run with the battery removed?
Wondering if that might drag it down.
Cheers in advance for any help.
Ross.

AC Adaptors Dropping Like flies

I recently had two AC Adaptors seemingly die within days of each other. They were plugged into two different jacks and two different 'books (a Lombard and a Pismo). The Lombard's battery was not charging, so I tried swapping AC Adaptors and batteries with the Pismo as a test and soon after neither batteries were charging and the 'books shut down. I bought a new adaptor and the machines booted and the batteries charged. I am taking them back to work on Monday where they were originally plugged in when this all started.
My question is, what causes an adaptor to fail?
I just spent $70 on a new one and I don't want to short it out (if that's what happened... i.e. power surge, etc.)
Thoughts?

There are a few things possibly happening. Faulty power at the mains [even though you tried 2 sockets] is one possibility. An electrician or someone with a voltage multi-meter could check to see if the outlets have faults. The design of the power bricks in general allows for some variance in the voltage from the mains, but large sags and spikes are not acceptable. A quality UPS with line conditioning can also cure power related issues.
Another common problem with laptop batteries not charging while AC power is connected is a broken power jack. The physical solder joint that connects the AC adapter cord to the laptop is vulnerable to breaking due to flexing and other stress. You can test the integrity of this connection by gently wiggling the AC cable where it attaches to the laptop. If there is excessive play, the actual receptacle may have detached from the logic board. Sometimes this problem is intermittent due to partial contact at certain angles of plug insertion. Unless you have soldering skills on small IC boards this usually dictates a logicboard replacement, unless the PMU is socked and detachable [not the case for your Powerbooks]. =[
Instead of buying the Apple AC adapters, you can find alternatives for about half the price from Macally and others. I have used the Macally unit with great success.

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

HT3819 I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar.
If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.

How can cocoa app get attachment in Drag & Drop email(s) from Mail?

HI all,
I would like to drag and drop one or more emails from Apple's Mail application to a cocoa application and have the cocoa application find the path to the attachments in those emails. If I drag & drop a message from Mail to Text Edit, it creates a link with the message subject. If I hold the pointer over the link in Text Edit, it shows the contents of the link, which has the form:
message:%[email protected]%3E
If I click that link, it opens a new Mail window with the message. None of that is the message number as shown in Mail's viewer window.
I've also looked at what Pasteboard Peeker shows given a Drag & Drop from Mail. The above link data is from the public.url pasteboard type. Some of the others look interesting, but Pasteboard Peeker truncates the data read from the pasteboard, and the pasteboard types are probably nothing that we "supposed" to have access to since they have names like "Someone's super-secret pasteboard type". Any other ideas?

Thanks, a brody.
That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

How can I create a rollover drop down menu from a link in Dreamweaver CS5?

Hello all, I am working on a portfolio website and I was just wanting to know if there is any way that I can create a drop down menu from a text link that cascades once the cursor has made contact with the link. I would like to have it in my navigation bar where the Portfolio link is. Basically, my navigation bar looks like this : Home | Resume | Portfolio | Contact. I only want three items on the drop down menu beneath the portfolio link: Traditional Art, Photography, Graphic Design. I would really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

How to Drop an index from a used table. online

I need to drop an index from a table that is constantly used , read and write.
The DML's are locking the table and preventing the index drop (ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified )
I tried to lock the table first - using 'lock table TAB1 in exclusive mode'
but when i ran the 'drop index' command , the drop (as all DDL's) first commits and this frees the lock which cause again the ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified error.
I would appriciate any help .I can't take the DB or table or Application writing to the table offline. I need something like 'create index IND1 online' for DROP but there is none as far as I know...
Thanks in advanve.

"It is requsted for the removal of an ORDER BY clause from a CPU consuming query.
The extra field enables me to remove it as the result set comes back ordered by the index"
It might do that today, but it is not guaranteed to do it tomorrow. Oracle may be able to retrieve the records ordered using that index, but I would leave it in your query if you are depending on the rows being ordered. The CBO is smart enough to not actually sort the rows (i.e. act on the ORDER BY clause) if it can get them sorted using the index, but if it decides to use another access path for one of many reasons your results will not be sorted without the ORDER BY.
Since the CBO seems to think that your existing index is useful (which is why you cannot get the lock on it), your only option is to wait for a period of really low activity on the database and try it then.

How can I drag and drop a song from my "Purchased" list on to my i-Pod?

I've recently updated the apple software on my PC and the new version of i-Tunes won't let me drag and drop songs from my "Purchased" list directly to my i-Pod. I don't want to sync my i-Pod. It will erase all the songs on my i-Pod and sync with the playlist from my PC. I want to select just one song from my "Purchased" list and put that on my i-Pod.

I got my own answer !! I saw it on another post. Select "View" and then toggle down to "View Sidebar".
Now I can drag and drop like before.

HELP! I pad plugged in all nite only shows 65% charged and dropping like a stone even though still plugged in. I am in London. Where can I get help?

HELP! I am in London and my iPad is plugged into wall via adapter and cords bought from Verizon who sold me the I pad.
It does not show it is charging
It sometimes says "not charging"
it is plugged and % is dropping like a stone. HELP!

Go to the home screen on the iPad. Double click the home button and where all the app's come up below, hold down on one and then proceed to press on the minus' to delete them from multitasking. Don't worry, your not deleting the actual apps.
That should clear up the 'not charging' business, and the constant dropping. You probably played some big 3D games or watched movies and didn't exit them properly (anything you exit automatically goes into multitasking) thus keeping them open in the background.
Make sense or not working?

Drop down buttons from a JToolBar

I've been looking at various postings on how to get drop down options from a JToolBar. What I have seen suggests using JPopupMenu.
However for my requirements I simply want the drop down buttons to appear in a gridlayout rather than as a drop down menu. Just the icons with no labels.
Is it possible to change the layout manager up JPopupMenu or should I be trying some other component?
The code I am trying looks something like that below where I demonstrate a toolbar dropdown color picker. The change of the layout manager seems to have no effect.
final JButton standardColorButton = _toolBar.add(_actionStandardColor);
final JButton changeColorButton = new JButton(_actionChangeStandardColor);
_toolBar.add(changeColorButton);
changeColorButton.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        int height = standardColorButton.getPreferredSize().height;
        JPopupMenu popup = new JPopupMenu("test");
        popup.add(_actionRed);
        popup.add(_actionGreen);
        popup.add(_actionBlue);
        popup.add(_actionBlack);
        popup.show(associationButton, 0, height);
        popup.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,2));

Hi Vijay,
Is this correct?
   var oInput = new sap.ui.commons.DropdownBox("ddlb_matnr");
       var oItemTemplate = new sap.ui.core.ListItem();
       oItemTemplate.bindProperty("key", "Matnr");
       oItemTemplate.bindProperty("text", "Description);
       oInput.bindItems("/sap/opu/odata/sap/Z_MATNR_F4_SRV/materialSet", oItemTemplate, null, "'');
This should work ?
I tried this.. it is not fetching...
Let me know?

Drop in pictures from own pc and obtain a short 30 sec movie

I’m a beginner but the job I would like to do is not
simple. Can someone give some idea from where to start, or if I can
find some extensions that can make the work?
I would like to create an interactive site where client can
drop in pictures from their own local pc and obtain a short 30 sec.
movie with flash, ready to be watch one the web site.

If you don't have a background in programming you're going to
be in for a steep learning curve. The actual interface the user
would see could be done in Flash, so perhaps that forum is a better
place to start. Your Flash application that you come up with is
going to have to integrate some sort of database I would assume, so
you'll need to look into that as well.

Dynamic Drop Down Menu from an Access Database

Hello Everyone,
I am user Adobe Designer 7 to create a fillable PDF, and I would like to get the options for a drop down menu from my MS Access database. Basically I would like to populate the drop down menu with the names in the Access database. There i Have a table called PhoneNumbers and it contains the names of all the people I want to appear in the drop down menu that I just created.
This is what I did:
I created a drop down menu and then I clicked on Object > Binding > under "Default Binding (Open, Save, Submit)" choose "New Data Connection"
then connect to the database using a fileDSN. I opened the table where with the "names" column (PhoneNumbers)
and under the "Query," option, I wrote:
select * from PhoneNumbers
Then it gave me all the fields from the table and I dragged the "Last name" field over the drop down menu. I will need to find a way to get the "First Name" field to join the Last Name field to create one name that looks like this: Hill, Angie
The problem is that even though it shows the name from the Access database, it does not give me a list of all the names when I open the form in Reader 7...
No matter how much I click that drop down arrow, the name does not change...
It's almost as if it gets to the databse and gets the data from the database, but it cannot loop through it...
It's almost as if it's missing the code to loop through it...
Why is this? Any ideas how to fix it so it gives me a list of ALL the names, when I click on the drop down button?
After that, how can I add the first name to it?
The form would look like this:
Angie H. 202 641 2055
Right now it does look like that, but I cannot change to another name when I click the drop down menu. For the code to be working when I change to another name, the phone number also changes to the phone number of that person:
Barry S. 703 555 1258
The name is in a drop down menu, the phone number is in a textbox.
Can you help me with this?

ANGELA, Well, the good new is that you are not far off...What you need is to insert the following code using Java Script under the Initialize function. Just replace the Connection name, The Hidden Value, and the Display Text with your information. This is a function is 8.0 but will work with 7.0 /* This dropdown list object will populate two columns with data from a data connection. sDataConnectionName - name of the data connection to get the data from. Note the data connection will appear in the Data View. sColHiddenValue - this is the hidden value column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating. sColDisplayText - this is the display text column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating. These variables must be assigned for this script to run correctly. Replace <value> with the correct value. */ var sDataConnectionName = "DataConnection"; // example - var sDataConnectionName = "MyDataConnection"; var sColHiddenValue = "CAT_Corp_SeqNo"; // example - var sColHiddenValue = "MyIndexValue"; var sColDisplayText = "CAT_Corporate"; // example - var sColDisplayText = "MyDescription" // Search for sourceSet node which matchs the DataConnection name var nIndex = 0; while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName) { nIndex++; } var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex); oDB.open(); oDB.first(); // Search node with the class name "command" var nDBIndex = 0; while(oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).className != "command") { nDBIndex++; } // Backup the original settings before assigning BOF and EOF to stay var sBOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("bofAction"); var sEOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("eofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayBOF", "bofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayEOF", "eofAction"); // Clear the list this.clearItems(); // Search for the record node with the matching Data Connection name nIndex = 0; while(xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName) { nIndex++; } var oRecord = xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex); // Find the value node var oValueNode = null; var oTextNode = null; for(var nColIndex = 0; nColIndex < oRecord.nodes.length; nColIndex++) { if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColHiddenValue) { oValueNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex); } else if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColDisplayText) { oTextNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex); } } while(!oDB.isEOF()) { this.addItem(oTextNode.value, oValueNode.value); oDB.next(); } // Restore the original settings oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sBOFBackup, "bofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sEOFBackup, "eofAction"); // Close connection oDB.close();
