Mail compose window jumps to back when adding address. As soon as I add a single character to the address window of a new mail message, it pops  under all other existing windows. If I have others open...and who doesn't? I have to then close them all.

So.....deeply....disappointed by Lion...
It honestly gets in the way of getting things done.
When was the last time you had an upgrade, in any program or  OS that caused an immediate productivity drop?
Mail windows, when adding a new address, pop under to become the lowest window in the stack...before you are done composing...
no extra clicks..just adding ONE character to the actual address bar does it.
Trying to add files to an online content management system is hard...it's hard because when you attempt to add the file, it disappears from
the list, so a search must be conducted...oh not a search of your hard drive...no...it has to include ALL FILES and that takes a while, showing
files totally unrelated to what you need or in whatever that view is, showing everything from movies to documents, to a whole range of other stuff
that is irrelevant to what is being sought.
I can get used to the disappearing icon tool bar...but the message threading in Mail is so strangely bad it's hard to describe. So you send out an email,
and it had 5 points...but that was 3 emails before...A reply comes in addressing those 5 points but saying something like ..."I disagree with point number 4"
Unless you have total recall the thread shows you only incoming mail and the LAST most recent folded up message you sent. You are forced to go digging
into sent mail to see what that point you made 8 days eariler actually was...
I am pleased that I don't have to have Launchpad (honestly the silliest 'feature' I've ever seen on a computer) in the dock and see no point in the juvenile Mission Control (the naming scheme is odd and reminiscent of Junior Spaceman...how ironic that we end America's manned launch capability at the same time as Launch Pad and Mission Control, both throwbacks to the 60's are added to an OS). In any case both are virtually useless tools. One, replacing the mildly useful Spaces and the other just genuinely useless.
I'm going to give Apple until the second bug fix...but I can tell right now that Snow Leopard was a far more robust OS. The thousands of posts about this may rise to the level of AntennaGate...I hope so...It seems the only way to get Steve (for whom I have now honestly lost respect for the FIRST TIME) to address the issues is to embarrass the company publicly. Lion is a broken system, poorly conceived...and proof that the Apple methodology of no widespread user testing can and does fail. This needs to get fixed. Soon.

It seems to have something to do with profile manager.
I get stack traces in the "system messages" logs for the "Server" application, grrrr.
I'll get that info and attempt to submit a but report tonight.

    I have an active subscription but everytime I open the program it says trial expired.  I have installed, reinstalled, and installed again.  I have also installed the windows registry patch.
    It wouldn't install for nearly 5 times I tried to do this.  Now it's finally installed again but it won't budge past the trial version.  I click BUY NOW but then it says "error you already have a subscription" then it times out and just stays on the Trial Expired page.

    Hey kushlar,
    Please log out from your Adobe application and login again.
    Once you launch Acrobat and get error saying trial expired, you will find an option saying 'license this software'.
    Select this option and enter your credentials.
    Now check and let me know.

    Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
    This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
    To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
    However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

  • I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab.

    I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab. All of the support I have read talks about the movie being in the "movies" tab. I cannot use the "move" function or the "transfer" function because they are not available. Is this an issue because I just updated to the newest software?

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

  • Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

    hi sap gurus
      can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
    thank you
    venkatareddy

    Hi Venkatareddy,
    You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
    The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
    These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
    Kindly let me know if this useful for you

  • Why do I have to Open and physically Save a provided .xlsx File in order to source it and process it in SSIS?

    It sounds CRAZY...but it's true and I proved it out over many tests...
    We receive a .xlsx File from an outside vendor. If we simply move the file over to our processing Path and then try to source it and process it in SSIS, we get this error...
    Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
    Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB Error has occurred.
    Error code: 0x80004005
    However, if we open the file and Save It and/or Save As to our processing library path, we can source the .xlsx File and process it accordingly.
    Why is this? Is it because something funky is happening under the covers when the the vendor creates and saves the .xlsx File and then when we open and save it on our network it then cleans it up?
    Is there anyway that we can get around this? I hate for the processing clerk to have to go through what seems like a meaningless task....but I cannot think of any way around this if we cannot source the original file. And a C# Edit Script using Microsoft.Interpol.Excel
    is not possible because we are not allowed to put Microsoft Office on the Server where the SSIS Package will eventually reside.
    Any thoughts...suggestions...etc...would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks for your review and am very hopeful (Holding my breath) for a reply and possible solution and answer to this strangeness.
    ITBobbyP85

    First of all...THANK YOU ARTHUR!
    You're probably sick and tired of seeing my posts out here on this.
    We are running Microsoft Office 32-bit which is why I downloaded the 32-bit driver of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 from...
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
    Sooooo I think what you're saying is that it is a Microsoft Office 2010 .xlsx File but utilizing the 32-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 only allows me to source as Microsoft Excel 2007.
    Nowwww....this will run on a Server...soooo a couple of questions...
    1.) Are you saying I need to use the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 in order to process this file without having to open and Save it? Can I do that if we're running Microsoft Office 32-bit? Will I be able to source this on the Server because
    we cannot install Microsoft Office 2010 on the Server where this SSIS Package will live and breathe.
    2.) How can I tell which Microsoft Access Database 2010 Engine is on the server where this will eventually reside and run? 32-bit or 64-bit?
    Welllll...maybe a 3rd question...
    3.) Is there anyway to get around this driver dependency? Can I create a script to bulkcopy it and it would simply take what's on the server.
    Now mind you...we DO NOT have Microsoft Office installed on our server where this will reside...a licensing issue...
    So maybe now this explains my struggles with this damn file(excuse my French and frustration)...and why I was using a C# Edit Script to Open and Save the File until I then deployed it to the server and the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel DLL was not available
    on the Server because we cannot install Microsoft Office on the Server.
    Sooooo it seems as though I'm back at square one.
    UGH!
    Any additional help you can suggest or even if we can continue this "offline" would be GREATLY GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be bale to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Ay help gratefully received !!

    I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

    Graham,
    For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc.  For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too.  If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

    I cannot open any documents in InDesign after downloading Yosemite.  Says I need Java 6.  I have Java 8 and still doesn't open.

    It may seem strange indeed, but yes, you have to ALSO install the older version 6 for Apple's system; other applications will use your Java (which I believe is now even 9) and others will use that version 6.
