Long Term MBPS problems.

I'm having issues with low mbps rates. I'm running a WRT-54G wireless router, with a wireless signal booster. My signal strength is always excellent, or very good at any location in my home, but the mbps will drop to 1.0 as soon as I leave the office. I don't understand how I can have a full excellent strength signal, but a low transfer rate. I've read and tried many things, but still no answers. It doesn't seem to be interference, I've unplugged everything in the house. Please Help.
Cory

Now according to status window, I have 54mbps, excellent or very good connection. But the web site will not come up. It gives me a generic message from internet explorer. It still only works when I'm in our office within 5-15' from the router. Anything outside that range the web page either doesn't load or it takes forever. I don't understand, If I have an excellent signal shouldn't my transmition rate be high. I've tried unplugging everthing in the house. I've moved the router, same results. Even if I can see the router with no walls in the way, as soon as I'm about 20' or more away the transmition rate drops. Bad router? Linksys junk?

Ati 4850 24in iMac long term display problems anyone?

so im seeing blotches and lines on my iMac along with some odd pink spots here and there. 2 lcd replacments failed to fix the problem and all apple can say is "come in to an apple store". I cant as i just dont have the time and they still wont do anything to resolve my issue and they wont even replace my iMac. has anyone with the ati 4850 24in iMac had the same or similar issues later on. I can't believe apple wont fix my problems its just disappointing.

I tried both downloads and neither ended up changing the driver. I selected custom install and the driver that it said it was going to install was the one Apple provided, not the 9.12 one, even though that's what I downloaded. Dumb. I did the driver rollback and though it helped the banding, it's still there a little bit. I'm guessing I shouldn't see anything at all.
Edit: When I noticed the banding a little bit even after the rollback, I was looking at the default Win7 background. After switching to some of the other backgrounds, I'm not really noticing anything anymore. Maybe that default image has some in the image itself? But yea, it was definately terrible regardless with the 3.1 drivers

Need help with long term Java problems

I've been having problems with Java on my computer for about a year now, and I'm hoping that someone here can help me out.
Java used to work fine on the computer when I first got it (a Dell laptop) and I hadn't installed anything myself. But then one day it stopped loading Java applets, and hasn't worked since. By this, I mean that I get the little colorful symbol in a box when I try to play Yahoo games, use the http://www.jigzone.com site, go to chat rooms, etc. Java menus on websites like http://www.hartattack.tv used to work still, but lately they've been giving me that symbol too.
I've tried downloading a newer version of Java, but nothing I do seems to work, and I don't know of anything I did to trigger it not working. I'm hoping there's a simple solution to this, and I'm just dumb.
Thanks.

This might be way off, but it's something that's tripped me up in the past:
If you are using Sun's Java plugin, the first time you go to a site that has a particular Java applet, you may be asked to approve/reject a security request.
If you have clicked on any other windows while the request is first being loaded (which can take some time, because this is swing based), then the security dialog box does not pop to the top of the window stack, and doesn't add an entry into the task bar.
It appears that Java just doesn't work, but it's actually waiting for you to click "Yes". You can check this by hitting alt-tab and seeing if the Java coffee cup icon is one of the options.

MBP vs MBP Retina for long term value?

I'm looking to upgrade from my current MBP to a higher performing one. I bought my current mid-2011 13" for basic use, word processing, internet, etc. I now work at an internet marketing and design agency though and it's not performing well enough for my needs.
I run a fair number of programs (evernote, skype, ical, excel, word, itunes, firefox, and chrome with a bunch of tabs open at once) at the same time and my RAM (currently 4gb) is always maxed out right now. My current computer also won't handle photoshop, which I need to be able to use (not all day, everyday, but I do need to be able to use it). I'd like to be able to run Boot Camp or Parallels as well.
I spent a few hours today researching and got it down to roughly 2 options. My main issue between the two is long term value, which one will work the longest/be worth the most in 3-4 years when I want to upgrade.
Option 1. Buy a 15" MBP 2.6ghz Retina with 16GM Ram upgrade. I know this is more than enough for my needs, I would mainly be buying this with the hope it would last a long time and so be worth it. My main problem with the Retina is the inability to upgrade so I feel like I have to make sure I get everything on the front end. (Cost $3k)
Option 2. Buy a standard 15" MBP knowing that I could upgrade to a SSD and add more RAM when I need it. My thinking is that RAM and SSDs are only going to get cheaper so why not just hold out for if/when I need it.
So which option do you think I should choose? If I go with option 2, is it worth it to upgrade to the 2.6ghz processor? I would get the 8gb RAM either way so it would effectively be a $300 upgrade.
Thanks for your replies.

If I were you I would go for MBP with retina display. And if the price matters for you you can get the base model with 2.3ghz + 16G RAM. This one works like the 2.6ghz for you and you and I couldn't see the differences on our regular daily usage. With the money that you can save you can buy an external HD with thunderbolt support (7200rpm or even go for RAID). Probably after few years it would be no difference between 2.3ghz and 2.6ghz and both of them will be old and no one cares about 0.3ghz more or less. The only problem is in storage (which software are getting bigger every day) which I heard you can upgrade the MBPr storage in the future.
Upgradeable it's just a term. What you want to upgrade after 3-4 years in standard MBP? Let me see there is only two things for upgrade storage and memory. Not CPU nor Graphic card or anything else. I heard they can change the storage on MBPr not at the moment but maybe in future. For the RAM part I see a lot of people want to buy 8G RAM not even 16G because 8G is clearly enough for few years. But you can go with the 16G and make sure you can have a high end machine for years. (But honestly, most of the people go with the new machines after few years and they don't upgrade that much.)
So non-upgradeable is not an issue in MBPr for a lot of people except some people. The only thing you should be worried about is being repairable (1/10 score from iFixit) which you can buy AppleCare with the money you saved (from 2.6ghz to 2.3ghz) and be happy at least for 3 years.
iIt was my opinion and of course you should do what ever works for you.
good luck

Long term planning-Scheduling problem

Hi Experts,
When I am doing Long term planning run MS02, i am facing the following problem:
There are 10 stages of operations to make a finished product. Each stage having different order types and planned orders are created at each stage.
For the last stage material i am doing the Long term planning ( ie. Raw material)
After running MS02, The results are like this:
the scheduling for the first 6 stages are according to the requirement dates.
But the last 4 stages the scheduling is not correct. The system is combining 10 days requirement and giving only one planned order.
I want seperate planned orders date wise.
Please give me a solution.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Hi Dharma,
There is no planning calendar or period lot size assigned for any materials.
MRP type is PD for all materials except the long lead time material and the lot size is EX.
For the long lead time material ( ie. the bottom stage material) MRP type is M1 and lot size EX.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

HT3053 Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?

Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?
My battery got swollen (and I unfortunately noticed it very late and might have be running with it for months, which potentially explains all the crashes everyday and the trackpad not working anymore, the Apple test also says I have a bar of ram broken...) and I had to remove it because the back pannel did not close anymore... Can I still use my MBP normally forever that way? I was planning on buying a new mac anyway but maybe waiting for the next iMac upgrade in the year... Should I wait?

Other than the system shutting down instantly if you have a power outage, whcih could corrupt the OS. Nothing else bad will happen.

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.

White background or Black background suited for long term watching ?

Hello,
I saw many desktop themes with white or light grey background a few years ago, but now, many of them turn into black background with white or blue or cyan or others color of fonts.
As a programmer, I am just curious about the theme: which type is suited for long term use of computer?
I have tried both, and found grey background is easy to read because it is similiar to read on paper, but it looks like a lighting-bulb!; black background with blue font is cool, along with less luminosity, seems free my eyes.
But another problem is the color choosing. With light grey background, it seems any color is right. But with black background, colors should be carefully selected, since some colors are not suit black background at all.
Grayscale is another one. With light grey background, I can easily tune my font in grayscale, like Japanese cartoon paper (I like it very much!), gracifully to distinct keywords. But with black background, it is ugly to use grayscale to distinct keywords.
How about your ideas?

I commented out the external logo calls (since the new logo area fits really nicely with this style), The sections I commented out can probably be removed safely, and I made the textbox post area more readable. Now I love the new webpage layout!
Here's the dark home page style I'm using, also based on Hrwa's archlinx homepage userstyle, but I havent made too many changes there, other than the package search box needed a little tweeking.

Are there any long-term consequences for carrying a balance?

I have some upcoming dental work ($7k) and was planning to pay in interest-free installments to the office. However, I was just approved (hooray) for a Quicksilver card with 0% APR until March. I am considering putting the work on this card, because I would earn 1.5% ($105) and get 10% discount from the dentist for paying in full ($700!). It is not a problem to pay this off before March. I have no immediate credit needs so I can take the score hit for a few months on the higher util. Are there any long-term negatives to carrying a balance? Will Cap1 hold it against me in the future? I know they like to see you charge up the card and pay it off in full, not sure if this plan will bite me. (I would pay well above minimum each month.) Thanks for any advice.

While % util will go up, scoring of % util has no memory, and thus once paid off, it will not have contnued impact. A possible concern of a credtior is when a consumer maintains a high balance for a prolonged period, which can be viewed as an indication that the consumer is over-relying on credit, and thus might be a higher risk.Based on that, it could trigger a decrease in credit limit, thus resutling in little or no decrease in % util even though the account balance is being reduced. I would try to keep it below approx 80% of overall credit limit, and if above that number, get it down within a couple of months.

Best practice for long term maintenance ??

still busy with the long term maintenance requirement.
when maintaining a building my client wants to register the following
- long term maintenance (like 15 till 25 years)
- short term is already in preventive maintenance
- the long term maintenance must be related to specific activitities which contains keyfigures (the keyfigures are obtained from third party libraries which can be used to calculate the estimate cost for a certain acitivity when multiplied with for instance the surface area of the object)
- for the costplanning a report should calculate the estimated costs derived from the keyfigures
- the long term planning should be easy to manage and activities easily be changed in time
is there anything already at hand or an example where long term maintenance like this is implemented ?? I can't see how I can get above requirements in for instance preventive maintenance ??
reward for usefull info
kind regards
arthur

I try to make an config takslist but somehow I can't enter values when I attach the task to a preventive maintenance plan.
I created charateristics and a class with type 300
made a config profile with cu41
I also can't enter values when I attach the general task to a serviceorder
do I still miss something here ??
hmm I made a separete thread for this since it has nothing to do with the initial problem

Best method for converting 8 mm cassettes for long term storage

I have approximately one hundred 8 mm video cassette tapes that I would like to convert to another format for long term storage. I captured my first tape today from my camera Sony DCR VTR 520 which is a digital 8 mm camera. I was not planning to convert the files to DVDs at this time but just keep the avi file on the computer.   The video was just over 2 hours long but the file ends up being 27 GB.   I expecting it to be around 8 GB like a 2 hr DVD but I guess its not the same.
The 8 mm tape I converted was from an very old 8 mm camera which I no longer have (1990). The camera used to capture from is a VTR 520 which is actually a Sony digital 8 mm, which can play back standard 8 mm. I used CS3 on my old computer with standard project settings for DV NTSC 29.97 f/s.   I currently use PE10 so I could use either program.
What do other people use to convert and store videos on??
If I want to keep them as avi files will I have to live with these large file sizes?
I did a search on the forum and found titles that talk about this subject from a couple of years ago but when I click on them they don't come up.   How do you see these older threads?
Any help would be appreciated.

JMJarige,
The only potential problems with this workflow are:
DVR units (I have a Panasonic, but this is pretty much across the board) seldom produce a 100% DVD-compliant disc, and as most add a rudimentary Menu & navigation system to the disc, produce a first VOB (where the Menus & navigation are located), that is tough, if not impossible to directly Import.
In the production to DVD, there is MPEG2 compression applied. If one edits that material, and then they output to any compressed CODEC, the quality loss is easily seen
When I convert from VHS for a client, I create a DVR DVD disc, for their archives (in case the tapes die), but then Capture to DV-AVI to be edited to a DVD-Video. The client gets two sets of discs - one that is produced by the DRV, and then one that is the finished edit of their tapes. For me, it's a two step process, but gives them a backup, plus a finished product.
Good luck,
Hunt

Long Term Signature & Advanced functionality of Reader (measurement) not compatible with the PDF/A

Dovrei pubblicare sul web e distribuire più di 800 file PDF di grafica vettoriale quasi tutti ottenuti da ArcView e Adobe Acrobat XI. (Windows XP S.P.3)
Tutti i PDF sono stati verificati con la "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI risultando conformi allo standard PDF/A.
I file sono poi stati firmati con PDF Signer (utilissimo per la firma massiva dei PDF)
Riverificati con la "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI sono risultati ancora conformi allo standard PDF/A.
I file sono quindi stati salvati abilitando le funzionalità avanzate di Adobe Reader (creazione commenti e misurazione) e incorporando le informazioni di verifica per la convalida a lungo termine della firma.
La "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI ora indica che i PDF non sono più compatibili con lo standard PDF/A-1b (2005)
Problema di sintassi: Oggetto indiretto con numero di oggetto non preceduto da un indicatore EOL
Dettagli del documento:
Valori trigger
L'oggetto indiretto contiene un numero di oggetto non preceduto da un indicatore EOL.: vero
{ 28 0 obj }

Long-Term validation feature in PDF is not compatible with PDF/A as you have already found out. In Acrobat XI LTV info is automatically added to the signed PDF when a PDF is saved again (after signing). You need to turn this feature off (it is ON by default). Go to Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Verification->More and change the radio button for "Automatically add verification information for signed PDFs" to "Never".

Long term image storage

I know most would have thought about this subject but what are people using for long term image storage. I am getting toward 35gigs of images and for a long time used an external Firewire Mirror RAID to ensure I do not put my images at risk.
But this is not enough anymore!
1. It's still a single file system that can be damaged by any rouge app or action, as all actions are duplicated onto all the disk in the RAID set.
2. (1) Does not solve the problem is being able to store a duplicate in a fire/water/offsite location.
3. HDs fail and the RAID goes someway to solve this, but it's intensely stressful when a disk fails.
4. Running periodical backups is very painful when dealing with such a large number of images.
I am not a Pro and I am in a family environment but we list to use Aperture as it offers more than iPhoto. But the problem of long term image storage must be an issue what every the application being used.
I am looking forward to see what TimeMachine will do for me in OS 10.5, but this does not solve (2)
I have looked at the iomega Rev drive as a possible solution, with 35gb or 70gb per cartidge, and more importantly, 30 years expected data life. The price is a little expensive but I cannot find an alternative for image vaults
I have a minor problem with iomega in the long term (>15 years) viability of the company, they seem to have just ventured into the online email security for new revenue, which suggests to me they are are not able to improve their positon on storage media.
I have tried giving writing DVD-DL a go but that is just unworkable for me, also I cannot get anyone to commit to how long the data will be readable.

I use a combination based on a couple important principals. The first is "you can't backup enough". Second principal is "nothing is reliable". Third is "you will screw it up". You being the person trying to back things up. The final one is "things will go bad just when you thought everything was perfect".
The basic gist is backing up needs to be reliable, mostly automatic, redundant, and across varied media.
I have 40K RAW images in my library. There are five copies of every RAW file I've ever taken spread across three different hard drive volumes and CD/DVD's. There are three copies of every .psd file spread across two different hard drive volumes and CD/DVD's. My two RAID 0 volumes are connected all the time and backed up every night. My RAID 5 volume is only connected when I do a backup on that which is about once a week. The CD/DVD's are made every month on everything that's new.
I have over 100 CD/DVD's and am considering remaking those read only products using the latest equipment I have. I'm seriously considering loading my entire RAW library onto a site like Smugmug in jpeg form. That would give me a worse case scenario loss recovery capability.
In the mean time, my CD/DVD's are store off site at a friends house.
Cheers

Long term inspecion

Dear all,
I want to do long term inspection for my material.so for mic in control indicators i have activated check box of concern .even though after UD i am unable to do inspection .where might be problem.what more i have do settings .
regards
prasad

Hi Prasad,
The functionality of long term inspection is used, when there is need to record results for some characteristics after UD. So I hope you are doing such so, i mean, the RR is yet pending though UD is completed. Pls ignore if you are on the correct way, I have merely shared a practical possibility.
Dear, Deepak,
I think your confusion/question about the function of longterm characteristic, is also clear herewith, that it don't generate any lot new inspection lot.
Regards,
Shyamal

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.

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
