Long term future To Do Item appears now in To Do List

I want to use To Do Items to schedule long term future activities, up to 5 years ahead (eg book medical checkups).
I check the 'Due Date' box on the to do item then enter the date in the format set in 'International'
This is Australian in my case eg dd/mm/yyyy
The year seems to be treated as the current year by iCal, rather than a future year. The result is a February 2010 item appears in the To Do List to the right of the calendar when the 'Hide To Do Items with to do dates after calendar view' is checked. This is 2 years too soon!!
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong or is there a limit not described in iCal Help as to how far into the future the calendar works?

When you create relation, 3 procedures are automatically created for you.
Check_Package_Failure, Clear_All_Master_Details and Query_Master_Details.
When you execute clear_block(no_commit) on the master block -
Clear_All_Master_Details will fire.
If you check Clear_All_Master_Details you will find following code there:
Go_Block(curblk);
Check_Package_Failure;
Clear_Block(ASK_COMMIT); -- This statement causing "Do you want to save changes" to appear

  • How to make sales order items appear on the billing due list?

    Dear All,
    We are using SAP CRM 5.0 standalone and we want to use CRM Billing.
    All necessary configuration has been done to enable CRM Billing on sales orders.
    Here is the list of what have been done:
    1. Defined Billing unit and assigned to my sales organization.
    2. Created billing document type for sales order (F2 as standard).
    3. Defined billing item category (TAN as transaction-based billing after complete)
    4. Defined billing item category determination (for trans. type TA, item category TAN, billing item category will be TAN)
    With all the above configuration, when I created a sales order (TA), set the order status to 'completed' and save it, I checked the item status, it is 'completed for billing'. However, when I ran 'Process Billing Due List', nothing has been picked up.
    I checked the order line item, and found that the 'Delivered Qty' field is 0. Could this be the reason? I set the item category TAN billing relevancy to be 'Transaction-based after completion', then it should not care about delivery, right?
    Please provide your input. Thanks so much in advance!
    Regards,
    Leon

  • Using "Deleted Items" folder for long term storage.

    I have a user that is using the "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook for long-term storage.  He has unchecked the box in the options which would remove the items in the Deleted Items folder at shutdown
    and is having problems with his Outlook freezing up several times a day.  He was using a Microsoft Surface as his primary computer and has since changed to a Dell Latitude, but Outlook still freezes up.  He has an Office 365 Pro Plus license. 
    I have been looking for articles to explain all the reasons for not using "Deleted Items" for storage, but in order to get him to change, This is not a .pst, it is the Outlook default “Deleted Items”. 
    .  I really need some "ammunition" to let him know the consequences of keep that much mail in Deleted Items. 
    Could you tell me when Outlook starts, does it enumerate the Deleted Items folder as it does the Inbox? 

    I have to agree with Robert's point here. The question of whether or not the user should be doing this answers itself: of course he shouldn't. On a lighter note there's a Dilbert cartoon from 2003 which covers this very point:
    http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2003-11-13/
    I'd suggest you ask him to create a sub-folder of his inbox and get him to move everything over, then he still has his history and can use deleted items the way it was intended.
    The question I would ask is are you sure that this has any bearing on his Outlook freezing issue? I have encountered people who never empty their recycle bin and I have encountered issues with Outlook freezing, but I don't recall ever having the two together.
    If you still have issues after he's moved everything then it's a general Outlook freezing issue, so you have to look at those sort of things. For a start, is it bang up to date with Microsoft Updates? If so how big is his mailbox? Presumably he has an ost
    file, so how big and fragmented is that? I'd probably try creating a new Outlook profile. If not then what add-ins does he have, could they all be disabled for a while to see if it's one of them, then add them back one at a time? If not is it worth running
    a repair in Office? I've had that fix a fair few issues.
    Just a few thoughts. I don't know if any of them will help.

  • How to find item that do not have GI for long term.

    Hi MM Expert
    What is the best way to identify the the items that do not have goods movement (goods issue) for long term.
    I think of 1 idea using t-cd MCBE, but I would like to find out other possibility, to check more better idea.
    Do you have any good idea (Which table is useful for this analysis).

  • I am a very long term customer how is now very disappointed with Verizon!

    I am writing in to give one final try at gaining a positive response from Verizon.  I called in to talk to Customer Service today with a request and was really disappointed at getting a NO for a response.   I have a family plan with 4 phones of varying contract/upgrade dates.  Mine…6/10/15. Wife’s…5/29/14.  Mom’s…6/20/13.   Son…4/11/16.  Two of the phones are past their date and thus we can upgrade without additional fees.   I will be disconnecting my mom’s phone as she hasn’t used it since 8/6 and won’t be using it as she is moving into a Memory Care facility for Alzhiemers.   Thus my request was whether there was a way to upgrade my phone and my wifes phone to the iPhone 6 without having to pay an added fee for upgrading mine early.   I asked that they take into account that my mom’s is 16 months past her upgrade date, I am 9 months from mine and we are very very long term customers. Verizon has been our cell phone company ever since we bought cell phones a long time ago.  I was told NO.    I then told the service rep that if I have to wait until 6/10/15, I have no real reason to stay with Verizon as saying no to this request just makes no sense when it is being ask by a customer of such long standing.  I was told NO again.  Even though I am clearly not a customer that hops from one cell phone service provider to another...Verizon told me NO.  Even if it costs a bit more to switch to AT & T (which it may or may not...I don't know)…on 6/11/15 my wife and I will be leaving Verizon and my son can have an individual account.

    You sign a contract promising to a 2 yr service commitment in exchange for a substantial discount on a phone. You are 9 months from completing your commitment. There is no reason for Verizon to grant your request. In fact, they may be contractually obligated to NOT do so depending on their terms for selling the iPhone negotiated with Apple.
    In the past, Verizon has been lenient(by a month or 2 but never 9 months) with approving an early upgrade, but NEVER with an iPhone. The reason for this has been hinted at being because of the contract terms Verizon has with Apple. Verizon is not going to jeopardize their ability to have iPhones on their network to satisfy your demand.
    Currently, there is a limited time offer to upgrade early with Verizon if you are eligible to get a discounted upgrade by 11/15/2014. Unfortunately you fall outside of that window.
    Good luck with the new provider, you will be unlikely to ever get an early upgrade at another provider either.

  • This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items

    When I plug in my iPod and iTunes starts syncing, I get the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
    When I then click Authorize, iTunes brings up an ancient iTunes ID that I haven't used in years. I do remember the password for it, though. However, that doesn't work. It says an error has occurred. When I enter my current (and longterm) iTunes ID and password, that also doesn't work (same error message). I've tried deauthorizing my Macbook but I get another error message. Worth noting--I don't get an error message when I log into iTunes through the store.
    I don't think this is a problem with my iPod. I think it's an iTunes issue. (I could be wrong of course.) By the way, all of these songs should already be authorized. I haven't made any purchases lately, and syncing these songs previously has been no problem. It appears that the songs that are causing the trouble are DRM songs that I have yet to update (purchase an update from Apple, gee thanks, Apple) to non-DRM format.
    Please advise. Thanks!

    This just happened to me too. I migrated my old mac to a new one. I was getting the same message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone “_____”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?". when I try to sync any ios device.
    This worked for me. ALL user id's for itunes in the computer need to be authorized for every account on this machine.
    When I click authorize after getting the message above I noticed that the ID that showing was for my spouses account. I actually have two itunes accounts on this machine (me and my spouse).
    If you look in your itunes folder check if you have more than one itunes account. Open iTunes with the "option" key pressed. Select the other account. Sign in using your email username and password for that account. Then authorize that one. Log out, close itunes, and reopen with "option" pressed. Select your main itunes account. Sign in again with your normal ID and password.
    I'm all fine now. I hope this works for you too.

  • Long term: Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    Had to have new hard drive installed a few days ago. System was "upgraded" to Mountain Lion. I had a backup from TimeMachine but for whatever reason, when configuring hard drive it would not see my external hard drive so I had to restore applications manually (read one by one) after "blank canvas" configuration. Now I find out all my powerpc-based applications wont work because Apple has not renewed licensing for Rosetta (info gathered from Communities). My powerpc applications are Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Microsoft Office 2011, turboCad, etc.
    I found out I have two options:
    1) Erase hard drive and Restore from TimeMachine to previous hard drive contents from 10 days ago, which run on Snow Leopard (which I had downloaded, so no disks). Will this work?
    2) Install Parallels 7 or VM firmware, and somehow install Snow Leopard there and run my powerpc applications from there. How to do this I have no idea...
    Long term:
    If Apple will never restore Rosetta or powerpc capabilities, should I go with option 2 and get on with the "new world"? I'm not too technically savvy and not sure how I can do this on my own... so would need to go see the Geniuses for this, I guess...  But I'm not sure what the advantages of Mountain Lion are! So far, I dont see much, and I am not sure I would know how to maintain a "Parallel PC universe" without doubling everything.
    Since I'm not sure of any advantages to Mountain Lion, I should maybe go back to my Snow Leopard version, then? but I am not sure how, exactly, without loosing everything once more.
    Of course, if someone knows there are powerpc capabilities for Mountain Lion in the future, then I am all set, right? Does anyone know how Apple or Microsoft plan to "help" us poor souls who choose Mountain Lion without being aware of these issues?
    (note: I have moved three times in the past two years and cannot get my hands on my iWorks CDs or my Microsoft Office 2011 CDs)
    Any recommendations?

    Dropping Rosetta was a technical decision. As stated, Apple has traditionally only supported it's current and last OS versions.
    There are tons of advantages to updating to Mountain Lion, assuming your hardware supports it. Look HERE for details and HERE for hardware compatibility and instructions on how to upgrade properly.
    Alansky is correct that this is not new news as well. He also is correct in saying that Rosetta will never again be supported. If I remember correctly, the last PowerPC version of Photoshop is CS2 released in 2005. That's 7 years and 4 major releases ago. Sorry to say, but it is time to bit the bullet, move to Mountain Lion and update your legacy software.
    I am using Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and it runs fine on Mountain Lion 10.8.
    You can certainly install and run Snow Leopard in a Parallels partition but I don't recommend it. Take a look HERE for details.
    Not having your Office install disks sounds suspicious but we'll assume that you have a legal copy. In that case, you should be abe to contact Microsoft HERE for assistance in retrieving your product key and getting a download link.

  • What are the main causes of slowdown (long term)?

    I've had my MacBook for about 3½ years now, and it's starting to slow down. (Hardware specs are in sig.)
    Yup, I know it's normal. It's happened with every computer I've owned, regardless of platform.
    *_WHAT I CURRENTLY DO ABOUT IT_*
    I routinely run Maintenance (http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/maintenance.html), a free app that—yep, you guessed it!—performs maintenance on your Mac. It uses a mix of maintenance scripts that are built-in to OS X (OS X runs them silently, but this allows them to be run on demand), and some of its own methods for cleaning a Mac to keep it running smoothly.
    I've found that Maintenance does help—I definitely recommend it!—but the older my MacBook has become, it seems the less Maintenance can do to mitigate the slowdown that comes with age.
    *_MY CURRENT BELIEF_*
    I don't think it's because the hardware is old by today's standards, because in my experience if you reformat any machine it will operate significantly faster, even after restoring all of the software that was removed by the format.
    I've become increasingly suspicious about the hard drive's free space's effect on a system's performance. I've always known that it has a noticeable effect—less swap space for virtual memory—but I'm beginning to wonder if the effect of a mostly-full hard drive is much more than I have previously imagined. Just a feeling.
    *_MY QUESTIONS_*
    *#1: What are the leading causes of slowdown (long term)?*
    *#2: What are the solutions to each of the above problems?*
    • acknowledging that there may not be a solution to every problem, and
    • some solutions may solve a problem “more completely” than others
    Edited for clarity by Tony R.

    • I was under the impression that Disk Utility's “Repair Disk” would fix all non-permissions-related errors (other than physical damage, obviously). If they can be fixed by a backup-reformat-restore, then I take it they are software (filesystem) based problems. If so, why can't software solve the problem without a reformat?
    Disk utility can and does repair permissions and basic disk errors. However it does not rebuild directory data.
    • How exactly do directory structure errors happen, and what other consequences do they have (if any)?
    The article on alsofts website should help
    What is directory damage?
    It is worth noting that in the future when Mac OS X support the ZFS disk format directory damage will be a thing of the past.
    however as you said
    Yep, I'm at 11.2% free disk space. Thanks for the info!
    I think this is your main issue. Try moving your itunes and movie to an external drive then see how your mac performs.
    Also a good way to reclaim some space is to delete all the language localisations you dont use. It is amazing that iWeb alone can install a few 100megs of foreign language templates that you will never use.
    I used to use Mike Bombich's delocalizer to do this but that app is not longer available so I use monolingual now.
    edit, as you have macbook you are lucky in that it is really straightforward to install a bigger internal hard drive.
    You can now get 5000GB 2.5 inch sata hard drives. You could take out the old drive hook that up to a usb to sata cable, install a bigger hard drive. then connnect the usb cable to your mac. Then boot from your Leopard Disk then use disk utility clone your old drive onto your new drive.

  • Long Term Storage ideas for Data in an Oracle Database

    We have data that we no longer need access to and want to archive it on tapes for long term storage.
    We want to save the data using datapump or rman from time to time and and store the exports/backups on tapes. The issue we don't want to face in the future is , if Oracle deprecates the methodology we used to save the data in 2012, we no longer have a way to retrieve the data into a database 10 years from now.
    This may sound crazy, but hear me out. Before datapump existed everyone was using vanilla exp to export the data. Now we have datapump as exp's upgrade and we have rman too. What if in 2012 we took an export using datapump or a backup using rman and save it off on a tape. 10 years go by and in 2022 management wants to look at the 2012 data. Lets say by this time Oracle's mothodology changes and they have a much more efficient/robust export/backup method. One way for us to keep the old backups up to date is to import the data back before the method we used in 2012 is deprecated and then export/backup the data using the new method to keep the exports/tapes in sync with then current technology.
    My question is, what methods of saving large amounts of data do you recommend/use to save data to a tape so that you don't have to worry about changing times.
    An idea I heard is to save the data as insert statements. This would work for most of the data except for blobs.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    >
    Won't an intelligent compression algorithm take care of a lot of the overhead for that?
    >
    That's certainly a valid point to make and one that the OP can test. And because the duplicated metadata is identical and in the same physical row location there may be compression algorithms that can reduce it to just one set.
    There were two points I was trying to make.
    1. Don't just save the data - save the metadata also.
    2. The metadata for each row will be the same so if you use an INSERT format that duplicates it for every row you are potentially wasting a lot of space.
    Your other point was probably more important than these or anything previously mentioned.
    >
    perform restores of the entire database every couple of years or so to make sure that your
    database isn't degrading
    >
    Regardless of the format and media used to backup the data it is important to verify the integrity of the backup periodically.
    There are a lot of ways to do this. One way is a simple MD5 (or other) checksum of data at some level of granularity and then periodically read the data and confirm you still get the same checksum.
    In my opinion the more generic the format that the data is saved in the better the odds that you can recover the data later no matter how technology may have changed.

  • Ask the Expert: Demystifying Long-Term Evolution

    With Rahul Pal, Arpit Menaria and Krishna Kishore 
    Welcome to this Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about evolution of long-term evolution (LTE) and the future with experts Rahul Pal, Krishna Kishore, and Arpit Menaria.
    LTE, commonly marketed as 4G LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity and speed using a different radio interface together with core network improvements. The standard is developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
    Rahul Pal is a customer support engineer based in Bangalore, India. He has seven years of experience in the field of GPRS/UMTS/LTE technologies specializing in R&D and customer support. Rahul has worked with multiple vendors such as Nortel, NSN, and now Cisco, gaining expertise in packet core products such as SGSN and MME. Rahul has also worked as an escalation engineer handling customer escalations (technical troubleshooting and handling customer management). Rahul also has international experience of working directly with telco customers in the United States, Europe, and APAC and holds an engineering degree in information technology.
    Krishna Kishore is currently working as a customer support engineer based in Bangalore, India, focusing on ASR5000/ASR5500, SAMI, and HWIC products providing support to 3G/4G mobility solutions deployed across the world. He has more than eight years of experience in mobility technologies such as GPRS/UMTS/LTE/CDMA, with experience in development and customer support. Krishna has worked with multiple vendor platforms such as Nortel, Hitachi, NSN, and Cisco. He holds a bachelor's degree in electrical and electronics engineering and CCNA certification. 
    Arpit Menaria  is a customer support engineer based in Bangalore, India. He has been with the Cisco TAC for the past two and a half years (since July 2013) and has worked in FTS and TAC roles. Throughout his seven and half years of industry experience, he's worked for Ericsson and Tata Communications getting exposed to the telecom and Internet service provider environment. His technical skills span mobility, routing, switching, Linux, and Solaris. He has CCIE certification in routing and switching (written), RHCE, and WWSP mobility expert (written). Arpit also holds an engineering degree in electronics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindi University of Varanasi. 
    Remember to use the rating system to let Rahul, Krishna and Arpit know if you have received an adequate response.

    Challenges Faced by operators while deploying LTE Solutions
    1.) No Global standards in LTE Spectrum Bands allocation and usage
    Operators have to support  range of spectrum bands to  support. A lower spectrum band (e.g. 1800MHz) provides better indoor  signal strength and travels further compared to one of a higher spectrum  band (e.g. 2600MHz). However, the higher spectrum bands are better  suited for covering densely-populated areas and managing heavy data  volumes due to their larger bandwidth. lower frequency spectrums are  more affordable to build and signals travel further, whereas higher  frequency spectrums require a lot of base stations to cover a similar  distance. This could very well be another possible reason why different  Operators around the world use different spectrum bands, besides the  obvious fact that they are also limited by the availability of these  bands.
    2.) Building a New or Converged Network and Backward compatibility with Legacy Networks:
    Some Operators  will build a completely new 4G network  along the existing networks. Other Operators will create a converged  network, where they try to make the different generations of  technologies work together.  In both cases, the process is highly  complex and cost intensive. The transition to 4G network will require  new radio access technology and core network expansion, while  maintaining existing 2G/3G networks alongside the new 4G network will  result in additional burden on Operators.
    LTE  is flat IP architecture so there is a need to create high capacity IP  core network to connect MME(mobility management entity) ,S-GW,P-GW.  All  the interworking nodes including non- 3GPP systems is to be  re-dimensioned. Backward compatibility is a very complex task during LTE  deployment.
    3.) Return on Investment (ROI) on 4G LTE
    The migration to LTE or upgrading of existing mobile  networks will incur high costs. Moreover, 4G LTE is expected to disrupt  the traditional business models of Operators: voice calls and SMS. On  LTE, we still don’t have Voice call Support and Proposed launch of VoLTE  is still not widely deployed and in testing phases at many places.
    With faster mobile data connectivity, consumers will be more inclined  to use services and apps such as Skype and Whatsapp for communication.  This change in consumer's usage behaviour will pose a challenge for  Operators to profit from their investments in 4G networks.
    4.) Operators have to devise new Data plans
    To justify the investments in the new 4G networks, Operators have to change their data price models.
    First, Operators will charge higher prices for their LTE offerings  compared to their existing mobile data plans and maintain a higher  quality of service to justify the higher Pricings.
    Second,.  They should implement "pay-for-what-you-use" pricing models, where  consumers are charged based on their usage behaviors.
    Third, Operators can adopt a value-based pricing model  where consumers can pay a premium for a better experience, raising the  possibility of introducing tiered service levels that guarantee certain  connection speeds.
    Biggest problem  is customer cannot relate to all data plans and  have to constantly monitor data usage to ensure that they receive high  data speeds.
    5.) Security Concerns from Untrusted Domains
    While operators can theoretically benefit from reduced  latency and greater ease of management within the LTE architecture,  there is a very real possibility that overall LTE performance will  degrade due to the high volume of transactions required to ensure that  high levels of service quality are maintained and proper policy control  decisions are implemented. Operators face significant challenges in the  area of network security as traffic in emerging architectures is  increasingly likely to flow within spheres of "trusted" and "untrusted"  networks. framework allows operators to handle security gateway  functionality.
    Within the LTE network elements, including the ability  to implement IPsec — the IP network security standard. Operators facing  this new, unfamiliar environment face a key choice: whether to rely on  the functionality provided within the standards-defined LTE network  elements to address security and other requirements or whether to adopt  standalone solutions. Cash-Strapped Operators might Opt for LTE  solutions as they need not invest separately in Security Devices and  functions.
    6.) True 4G Global Roaming is not possible unlike 3G
    Due  to the lack of harmonization of LTE spectrum bands across different  countries, it is almost impossible within the near future to support LTE  global roaming.
    To  use a LTE device for data roaming, based on the current worldwide  spectrum usage, the device needs to support at least 15 bands.  Supporting so many band on LTE handset is not possible. So 3G data  roaming for international traveler is here to stay for very long time  still we standardize LTE Spectrum Bands Globally

  • Price Conditions for Long Term Agreement

    Hi,
    i need to extract the price conditions from long term agreements. For what i can understand i have to access the KONH table with a Varkey = EBELN&EBELP of the contract, and then see conditions on KONP and KONM tables. One thing I can't understand is how a record in KONH is marked for deletion. If I create another record with same validity period for same item. the other one is superceeded as if it was cancelled. Is there any other table with header condition master data?
    Furthermore, why the system lets me insert a new item with gross price, with same condition of an existing one, without having to flag for deletion the other. It seems that i can insert all the gross price (PB00) positions i want, and the last one i inserted is considered.
    Someone has any clue?
    thanks

    Loquat - That's not a good analogy.  Let me help you with your bank analogy:
    * You pay your mortgage payment on time faithfully for 24.5 years, and you want to REFINANCE your mortgage with your existing bank; however, your existing bank wants to charge you closing costs on your new loan AND a termination fee for the old loan.
    * HOWEVER, to solicit new business, your bank is telling other customers that they will pay the termination fees on their old mortgages if they do their refinance with the bank.  So why would the bank pay to get someone else's customer but not pay the same (OR EVEN MUCH LESS) to retain the customer that they already have?
    * By the way, thanks for the banking analogy.  As a 20+ year banker, I can tell you that a bank would never treat new, unproven customers better than their existing, long-time customers. 
    Thanks all for the lively debate, but nobody has been able to tell me how Verizon is better off by taking $130 now and letting $7,000 go to someone else.  That would be the equivalent of a 1.8% discount to make an existing customer feel like Verizon values their business.  But they would gladly give $600 ($150 per phone) to a new customer for bringing them the same business. 
    Loquat - by the way, that is not a "Special Privilege"!  That is the same privilege that they are offering to others that are not current customers!!  How is that "special privilege"?  And yes, it does sound fair.

  • Locked items appearing in MD04

    Hi everyone,
    When I run md04, locked items are appearing in the Requirements List. Someone can explain why?  Is that normal?
    What I can do to hide this items from MD04?
    Thanks!

    yes this is design that locked POs are still taken into account by MRP and MD04.
    Locks are short term solutions to clarify things and restrict further processing for a little while, but not meant to be used like deletion indicator for long term.

  • Long term viability of DNG

    I'm not sure if anyone can really answer this but if folks feel like giving their $.02 about this subject, I'd appreciate it.
    I'm a new LightRoom user and based on my earlier threads a few weeks back, I started using DNG as part of my workflow as opposed to just importing RAW files.  Based on various threads/posts in some photography forums, like dpreview, I'm not wondering about dng.  People have panned it and even went so far as dismiss the long term usage of it, likening it to the jpg2000 format that withered and died.
    Since I cannot go back to my NEF files once converted to DNG, I'm wondering if folks would like to chime in on  this, i.e., do you use DNG, are  you worried about adobe not happy with the adoption and possibly dropping it sometime in the future or are those concerns baseless?
    Thanks for any and all posts

    I had this same question, although I approached it more like: what's more likely to still be around 10 years from now: support for .NEFs or .DNGs?
    Remember, .NEF is not really a single format, but a format tied to a specific model of each camera. So it's not a question of whether .NEF support will be around, but D80 .NEF support, D90 .NEF support. D3 .NEF support, etc.
    Imagine the state of software 10 years from now...what are the odds that Windows / Mac / Photoshop (or any other software) is going to support a RAW image format from 10 years prior? Is Adobe  going to test every function of its software with every .NEF format Nikon ever created, or at some point are they going to start dropping support for older (read: obsolete) formats?
    On the other hand, .DNG is a single format regardless of camera make or model (and although there are versions of DNG, they are backward compatible). Also, Adobe has a lot of time, money, and pride invested in the DNG format, and I think they are in it for the long haul, if for no other reason than a self-serving one: if you were an Adobe product manager, would you rather support 1 DNG format, or 50 .NEF formats, 50 .CR2 formats, etc.
    So at the end of the day, I thought: if it's 2019 and I'm buying new software, is going to be more likely to support my 10-year-old D80 .NEF format, or is going to support the .DNG format that Adobe is still supporting?
    I decided to put my eggs in the Adobe basket. I'm already somewhat tied to them with Lightroom and Photoshop. But as a safety net, I *do* back up all .NEF images upon import, and I do export every finished image to .JPG.
    Other than having a crystal ball, I figured that's about the best I could do.

  • Verizon losing a long-term customer over upgrade

    Hi -
    I'm not sure posting in this forum gets to anyone at Verizon but I don't know where else to turn.  I am not eligible to upgrade my phone but have been having a lot of problems with it in the last couple months.  I called today to find out what my options are.  I asked if an exception could be made for an early upgrade and was told no.  I asked if it's possible to add a new line for a small additional monthly fee and was told it would cost me an extra $60 a month - clearly not worth it.  It will cost me less to cancel my plan with Verizon and start a new plan with AT&T than to upgrade my phone at the full price.
    I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for over 13 years.  I pay my bill in full every month for this time.  In this time, I've spent nearly $15,000 with Verizon (tough to see that number all at once).  When I asked the representative I spoke to and the supervisor I spoke to if it's Verizon's policy that they would rather lose a long term customer of this value than to allow me to upgrade my phone early for the difference of a few hundred dollars, they had no answer other than this is Verizon's policy and they can't do anything about it, the end.
    I will be contacting AT&T Wireless this weekend to find out about porting my number and canceling my plan with Verizon.  I'm sorry to go because I've generally been happy with my service until now.  I can't even find an email or a way to express my dissatisfaction other than coming to this forum.
    Thanks for letting me express my frustrations here.

    I agree with you too. I've been with Verizon for over 20 years, and shudder to think how much I've poured into that company. But Elector is correct, as individuals, Verizon will not miss our contribution to their bottom line. Based on reviews on their website, I was led to believe that a Windows 8 phone was the way of the future. But as it turns out, it's a *** when it comes to functionality and app availability. I lost many apps I had on my Droid that I used often, and there's no indication that those apps will be available on Win8 phones in the near future, if at all. But to switch to a Droid phone now would cost me nearly $1000 in phone cost and fees for early plan changes, if I stay with Verizon. I will seriously consider my allegiance to Verizon when my contract expires in about 1.5 years. Until then I expect to be totally dissatisfied for the duration. Come on Verizon, show show compassion for your dedicated customers!!!!!!!

  • PXI-4110 Long-Term Fuse Reliability Recall

    I home someone here can provide the info I am looking for. This past October I had a PXI-4110 Triple Output Supply go belly up. It would not pass self-test at all. Appeared to have no communication. After a $530 RMA repair, the board was fine. Today, I have 3 more of the exact same card (all purchased at the same time and only a short time out of warranty). All show the same error as the one in October. All failed in one day (today) with error number -200175. Speaking to NI I find out that it is most likely a fuse and it needs to be sent in on an RMA. Again at $530 a pop. To replace a fuse. A fuse that is apparently at the heart of a "Long-Term Fuse Reliability Recall" that specifically affects PXI-4110.
    Now, at this point it is not even the money, (though it angers me to no end knowing I paid $530 to fix a product with a known defect and that was under recall, but was not informed of it), but the fact that losing the cards for the 10 business days will effectively cost over $50K in lost shippable product.
    We have Certified soldering techs who work under a microscope replacing surface mount components all day. We can replace the fuse. My understanding is that the fuse gets "tired" and is replaced with a different one.
    I need to know 2 things:
    What is the original value of F9 on this card?
    What is it replaced with?
    I find it hard to believe that NI would not give me the info I need to make a quick repair. We did  not receive any recall letter either. Can anyone help???

    Hi Franco,
    I believe that the situation regarding being charged your RMA is being resolved as your board was covered under the recall notification that was sent out. The notification was sent out to the company we have on record who purchased the board. The RMA charge would not apply for a unit under recall.
    The recommended method for repairing the boards is to send them in to NI for repair. We cannot authorize the modification of our boards and it would void the warranty on the product. When the F9 Fuse blew it is possible that other components could have been damaged and also the action of replacing the fuse would likely change the calibration of the device. When sent back to NI for repair the device would undergo testing and calibration to ensure it meets all specifications.   
    We recommend that affected 4110's be sent in for a preventative repair.
