Magsage on the Unit question

I was wondering if anyone has wear and tear where the connectors meet inside the computer. Mine looks funny, but the guy at apple said it was fine, but I am not sure. I don't want to believe him. I want to have a safe laptop if you know what I mean.

I don't see where any wear and tear could come from. The pins on the connector simply press up against the contact points on the MacBook. As for safety, we've heard of about 50,000 complaints of whine and moo and about 25,000 of overheated cases and two of connectors (not the battery) melting down. Those cases are clearly the result of a short within the connector. The MacBook Pro power supply is pretty hefty, and when you pump 85 watts into the inside of that connector where two internal conductors touch, a lot of heat is to be expected.
So is it safe? That is inherently a probabalistic question. I'd say it is. Can you be 100% certain that the connector will not overheat during day to day operations? No way. Nothing is certain. Do you know how many people had household fires due to defective Mr. Coffee coffee makers? Lots. Do you drive or ride in automobiles? They're very dangerous devices.

TS1367 I have an early model Macbook Air 1.6ghz duo core. The unit worked until the battery went bad. It will not come on with the power plug inserted. Question is, do you have to have a battery installed for this laptop to come on??

How the **** do you reset the security questions? And how do you add a backed up library to a new computer?

So I have a couple issues and I am extremely frustrated, I'm about to smash all of my apple products.
First issue is how do you reset the security questions? Can't seem to find the "forgot answer" of anything like that.
Second is my old comp crashed so I backed up my iTunes to an external HD, got the file on the new computer, installed iTunes, got alot of my old music from iCloud, but didn't get all my music so I went to add a folder like the support thing I found said, but there's only an add file option, do I have to add each song?
Is there a way to get the songs from my iPhone to the iTunes library? It has all of my music on it as well
Thanks
Mike

For the security questions......
On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
          For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
          For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account. Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side. You should see an option to reset your security questions.
Also see this article about your "rescue email address" - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312.
If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57.   Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions.
For iTunes....
Is the music you are missing purchased from the iTunes store? If so

I have an old Mac Tower. I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of hard drive do I purchase. There is not a lot of data to be transferred.

I have an old Mac Tower. I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of of hard drive must I purchase so that it works with the Tower? There is not a lot to transfer.

MG,
What we might need to do is to change the question. What computer do you plan to use the data on in the future? For example, if you have a newer tower, just move the hard drive to the new tower. If you want to use the data, what about an ethernet LAN to get the data over? If you want to archive the data, how do you store the second drive? What are your plans for the first drive? If the new software will not recognize the old file type, the data must be exported. Just getting files to another hard drive will not finish your journey.
As Allan said, knowing the exact model and year of your tower is important. My suggestion is to find a user group near you. Please post back with more information, including the name of a large city near you.
For example, our user group just experimented with a 1983 Apple IIc that predates the Mac. It started right up, read files from 1984 and saved them from a 5.25" floppy to a 3.5" floppy. That 3.5 floppy will go into a platinum G3 which will read PRODOS files using Apple File Exchange. That G3, with a USB card, will allow saving the files to a USB flash drive. But, somewhere along the way, some software has to read the file and convert it to data that is useable by current software.

Is it possible to purchase an Applecare plan from the United States (LLA) for a MacBook Pro from Latin America (LZA)?

Is it possible to purchase an Applecare plan from the United States (LLA) for a MacBook Pro from Latin America (LZA)?

That's somewhat of a legal question which may not be able to be answered here by the uers/volunteers - I'd suggest you check with a local apple store.
In the US, you can purchase it at any authorized reseller as long as you register it with the serial number of the computer within the first 364 days of ownership, but I do not know if a US product will work with one from another country.

Do cFP modules have to be in place when the unit is initialized?

Running:
cFP-1804 backplane over serial connection to Mac OSX via a keyspan USA28X, using a legacy VI that has (up until now) been used with legacy FP system (FP-1000, etc), also serial.
cFP-AI-110 measuring 1 - 10 V at 1 input
cFP-DO-400 sourcing 24 V to four channels out
cFP-AO-200 sourcing 4 - 20 mA to 1 output
The modules are in this order on the backplane, with the farthest slot from the head being empty
After tracking down a Windows box to use MAX to initialize the unit, I connected the unit to the Macintosh that is running the VI to find that only the DO and AO modules function as expected. I measure a voltage between pins 1 and 18 (COM) with a voltmeter, but no such measurement appears on the front panel of the software.
Interestingly; I tried moving all of the modules over one space to see if the position on the backplane mattered, and lo! the control that is supposed to actuate output 0 on the AO card actually punched on the DO output. But still no voltage measurement.
So, the question: If modules are connected to the cFP-1804 when it is initialized, or the firmware is flashed, does this mean that the units are no longer interchangable? Would re-initializing the unit with no cards inserted allow none to be recognized?
Also, I have noticed that it takes a particularly long time for the system to come on line once the VI is started (10-15 seconds). Could this be related?

"The unit chosen is not supported."

I get the msg: "The unit chosen is not supported." (Adobe error message) when I attempt to retrieve a scanned image from the Xerox Scan Utility window that appears in Adobe Acrobat after I have scanned the document.
I can open MS Visio and retrieve that same image from Xerox Scan Utility window into Viso without any problem.
I used Adobe to initiate the scanning process by:
    - opening Adobe Acrobat
    - choosing "Create PDF"
    - choosing "from scanner"
    - choosing the Xerox WorkCenter scanner and responsing to the Select scanner option window
    - choosing "Options": Native Mode (tried Memory Mode)
                                    Show Scanner's Native Interface (tried Hide Scanner Native Interface in various combinations w/Native mode and Memory mode)
    - choosing "Append" to existing PDF
    - browsing and selecting the PDF
    - choosing "Make searchable"
    - choosing "Scan"
    - selecting the scanner when prompted
The went to Xerox scanner and scanned the document
Returned to Adobe
Got error when trying to retreive from Xerox Scan Utility window.
Using: Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
           Abobe Acrobat Professional 8.3.0 (after I had the problem, re-installed to make sure I had all the updates etc.)
           Xerox WorkCentre Scanner 5740 - on network
           TWAIN Driver downloaded from Xerox for that scanner
It appears that the last time I found anything related to this was 3 questions in 2002. I saw no definitive solutions. I had Xerox here to resolve and they could not. Since it appears the Xerox part is workiong - the image is scanned and retrievable by Visio, then the issue seems to be with Adobe. It also appears that Adobe is communicating with the Xerox since the Xerox Scan Utility Window displays in Adobe.
I called Adobe support and told them the problem. They could not (would not) answer since they said 8.3.0 is not supported. I asked if at least they could tell me what "The unit chosen is not supported." means - what is "unit". I was told to look it up in help.adobe.com or google.com - both of which I had already done.
Does anyone know what the solution is ? Thanks.

I respect that you are employed by MicroSoft, but the compatability center is not always accurate. It indicated that Adobe Pro 8 was compatabile for both 32 bit and 63 bit - but it is not. I have upgraded to Adobe Pro 9 Extended because Adobe says that this is compatable with 64 bit. The Microsoft compatability center also says that v9 is compatable with 64 bit. But it is Not. I have upgraded Adobe to 9.3.0, and it is Still not working. I now have $700 invested in Adobe software that is non-functional due to W7 64 bit.
So although users can check the compatability center - as I did prior to purchasing my new laptop - but it may not be accurate.
And yes, I have updated the compatability center to indicate that the information there is incorrect.
I have searched/googled everything that I can think of, and still nothing helps. If you have a suggestion how to make this work, I am listening.

Is it legal to ship a software developed in LabView outside of the USA? specifically the United Kingdom.

I been ask to ship a compl\ile version of a VI that I been using in my lab to a Company Division located on the United Kingdom, with the new legal rules regarding software distribution I am not sure if I can send a copy without additional paperwork.

Company I worked for last had over 10,000 people working over 3 continents.
Guess who the expert was? The only thing the lawyers knew was how not to get busted for filling in the tax forms incorrectly.
And just to demonstrate how wrong it can go, a company recently got busted in Japan for shipping the equivalent of an accurate micrometer to North Korea. They have offices on every continent and 10's of thousands of employees.
A week earlier they were unfortunate enought to have an agent supply equipment to Libya
"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) found a precision instrument at a nuclear facility in Libya"
By the way, just because they recipient is not paying for it has absolutely no bearing on the matter.
"The program in question is not beind sold in either country. You are probibly okay."
And finally there are / were restrictions on exporting to the UK, hence my quote about Microsoft, it's only recently Brits were allowed to upgrade from 40 bit security in Windows. The American security services never really got over Philby, Burges and Maclean.....despite their own skeletons.

[Solved] systemd does not wait for the unit to finish

My problem is described in the title. I have made a test by enabling the following unit:
[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/bin/sleep 1000
TimeoutSec=0
RemainAfterExit=yes
After=network.target
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The unit is well started (a process sleep 1000 exists). But with a type=forking, systemd is supposed to hang in this case. Instead, the graphical.target is launched, systemctl list-units mention it as dead, but the display manager is started before the sleep 1000 completes. Ho can I force systemd to wait?
Last edited by olive (2015-03-16 16:49:34)

olive, now you're making even less sense. I didn't say the sleep example was stupid and I didn't question your reasons for doing/wanting this.
I suggested you add "Before=display-manager.service" and you respond "I added Before=graphical.target and it didn't change anything."
I also tried to explain why systemd has no reason to delay the display-manager.service. You could have asked for further clarification, as berbae has now done. Let's try a longer explanation.
Service startup
Services can be started in different ways, as configured with Type=. This determines when a service is considered "started" (or when the service's start-up is considered finished). When a service reaches this state (some time after being started), units that are supposed to start After= this service will be started (and no sooner).
With simple systemd has no further information about the start-up process. It launches whatever you specify in ExecStart and this is the main process that continues to run till the service stops. systemd assumes this type of service is started immediately. All the other types have some way for the process to indicate to systemd (either directly or indirectly) when it has finished starting.
Actually oneshot is also a bit special and that is where RemainAfterExit comes in. For oneshot, systemd waits for the process to exit before it starts any follow-up units (and with multiple ExecStarts I assume it waits for all of them). So that automatically leads to the scheme in berbae's last post. However, with RemainAfterExit, the unit remains active even though the process has exited, so this makes it look more like "normal" service with
begin of unit/startup ---- end of startup ------ end of unit
This is the relevant behavior for this thread. First sleep starts, then after 1000 seconds, start-up finishes and follow-up units will be started. Then either the unit dies, or (with RemainAfterExit) it stays "active".
The man page describes how "end of startup" is determined for each Type.
Targets
Targets are meant to group units together, to provide synchronization points (and replace runlevels). When you start a target, all its units will be started (in parallel if possible). The man page says:
Unless DefaultDependencies= is set to false, target units will
implicitly complement all configured dependencies of type Wants=,
Requires=, RequiresOverridable= with dependencies of type After= if the
units in question also have DefaultDependencies=true.
This means that (by default) when a target is requested, all it units are started first. Only after all units have finished starting, the target itself will be started (and since the target doesn't do anything by itself, this startup is basically instantaneous). Without this dependency, the order between the target and its units is unspecified, so in theory the target could finish starting immediately while its units are still being started.
Back to olive
graphical.target has these DefaultDependencies, so it is not started until all its units (like display-manager.service) and other After= dependencies (like multi-user.target) have finished starting. Your sleep service has to be started before multi-user.target starts (again due to default target dependencies). So first display-manager and the sleep service are started and after 1000 seconds, the sleep service finishes starting and then (assuming all other dependencies were quicker) multi-user.target is started and graphical.target as well (assuming display-manager didn't need 1000 seconds).
If you want display-manager.service after the sleep service, add a Before/After line to specify that (this was your original goal and my suggestion).
olive wrote wrote:However, units that are parts of the graphical target are still launched before the graphical target become active. I am still unable to completely delay the starts of the graphical target before a specific unit completes.
It should be clear now how this works. "units that are part of the graphical target" can only mean "units that are wanted/required by the graphical target" but that is basically all the units that are started when you boot your system, because multi-user.target is a part of graphical.target. And your sleep service is a part of multi-user.target, so in fact you're saying you want to delay starting the sleep service until the sleep service completes
What you probably intended was to delay all units that are a part of graphical.target but not of multi-user.target until after the sleep service. I can't think of an easy (or even good) way to do this and this post is already too long, so I'll table that for now.
