Memory works in either slot, but not both at same time?

Hi, I've recently purchased some ram to upgrade my girlfriend's powerbook G4 15" 1.3ghz, 2x1gb chips. Before I installed it, I noticed the mac was only reporting 512meg of ram when we thought there was 1gb. Sure enough, there were actually 2x512 in there, but only 1 chip was being recognized. So, I tried the new ram anyway, to find of course that it would only recognize 1 of the 1gb chips also. In searching, of course, I've found all sorts of info on the lower slots going bad, but I've found in testing that any of the 4 chips (2 512mb and 2 1gb) will work in either slot, just not 2 chips at a time. So, both the upper & lower slots will actually function.
When I run the hardware test on the restore cd (sorry, I'm probably using the wrong name for this. I don't have it in front of me, and I generally.. gasp.. use PC's) I get this error:
post/0/2048 SODIMM0/J25LOWER
Now, she did upgrade to leopard maybe 6 months ago, but other than that, no major changes.
So, my questions would be, is this the same as the lower slot failure that everyone is having? Or is this something different? And, of course, is there anything I can do or try to fix it?
Oh, ya, and, this machine is well out of it's warranty, so hopefully no expensive repairs are needed?

Hi, beardo. My guess, and that's all it is, is that you have the beginnings of a classic lower RAM slot failure. I suspect, and it's only a suspicion, that lower RAM slot failures are caused by cracked solder joints, which in turn are caused by repetitive heat-related expansion and contraction of components on the logic board including the RAM sockets. My hunch, and it's only a hunch (have I qualified this post enough yet?) is that your lower slot is coming unstuck from the logic board only to the extent, so far, that when the spring-loaded slot is stressed in the particular way that having RAM modules in both slots produces, a crucial lower-slot contact is broken and the RAM in it isn't seen. When the lower slot and/or the logic board is stressed a little differently, by having a module in only one slot, the contact isn't broken. I imagine that the tolerances involved are minute: probably thousandths of an inch. I won't be surprised if the problem worsens to the point that your lower slot is completely undetected, particularly if you keep stressing the hardware by inserting and removing RAM modules in both slots, trying to find the cause. And I have nothing at all to suggest except all this guesswork and this repair option. I wish I could offer something more promising and helpful.

We have an airport extreme wifi in house, but also want to set up a hardwired ethernet connection for gaming and streaming of netflix. The computer only sees one or the other not both at same time.

We have a new iMac 2.9ghz and are running an airport extreme set up in house with several express entenders. The problem is that our son is streaming netflix and doing on line gaming and hogging all the band width. Time Warner tech suggested a hard wired ethernet connection to computer base sattion next to computer so that it can have direct conenction to internet. After much fishing of wire the connection worked great, but the wifi connection for the house is gone. I unplugged the ethernet connection and everything is fine. I read the articles about adjusting network preferences, but the issue seems to be in the extreme not in the computer. the connection goes from cable modem to extreme, from extreme to house and to hard wired conenction to other computer. Do we need a splitter before the extreme?

No. Something else is going on.
Your son may be hogging all the bandwidth but your wireless network should never simply disappear. Moreover, if your son isn't doing anything the available bandwidth for other devices should remain unaffected.
I suspect that something is miswired, and from what you describe I suspect that link is between the Extreme and the "other computer".
The way to accomplish what you propose is
Modem > Ethernet cable to Extreme's WAN port
Extreme's LAN ports > wired Ethernet devices.
There should be nothing but an Ethernet cable linking an Extreme LAN port and any other wired device. If you run out of available LAN ports on the Extreme, you need to by an "Ethernet switch" - they are not expensive, but don't call it a "splitter" or you will only confuse yourself. The switch would be connected to one of the Extreme's LAN ports, and you would connect additional devices to it. You can also use one of your Expresses for that purpose, assuming it is the current generation model with two Ethernet ports.

Safari works for one user but not another on same computer

MacBook with multiple user accounts. Safari (and Firefox) work fine for one user but are unable to open web pages when the other user is logged in. The error in Safar is "Safari can't open the page "http://xxxxxxxxx/" because it could not connect to the server "/xxxxxxx/" . DNS is working for this user. I am able to ping any number of sites from Terminal. Network Preference pane is configured to not require any proxy. This is a case of it was working but now it's not.
Can anybody help with this? I know I can fix this by simply creating another user and transfering the affected user's data to the new account but I would rather not. TIA

HI Bob,
You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.

I upgraded to yosemite 10.10.1 on my 2012 macbook air. Wi-fi works and blue tooth works, but not at the same time. Now what?

My bluetooth seem to conflict with my wi fi. Both work with the other turned off.

In an area where your WiFi is not working, try System Preferences > Network > Assist Me > Diagnostics

Web site certificates work for 1 user, but not another on same computer: Win7 Ultimate 64 bit

I have a newly built computer with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and I can access web sites from my log on (admin user) with either IE 11 or Foxfire. However, I set up a basic user account for my wife and she keeps getting certificate from untrustworthy source
errors. These are the same sites I have no trouble accessing. How do I fix this? My build is on PCpartpicker, but I can't seem to attach the link.

Hi,
There can be tons of reasons for why certificates don't behave. Please compare installed cert's for the two affected users using mmc

HT5858 In the control center I can change the mute or the rotation but not both. How do I fix this. In settings I can not uncheck both the mute and rotation lock.

In the control center I can change the mute or the rotation but not both. In the settings area therefore I can't uncheck the mute and rotation settings at the same time.

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Trouble playing .swf - works offline in browser but not online on website

Hi there,
I'm having trouble displaying a flash .swf file properly on my website: http://dreamriderproductions.com/fun/game-test/
When I view the .swf file locally on Chrome, I get a text box to enter my name and I can click Go and keep playing the game. For some reason, when it's up on the website, there's no text box so I can't progress. Can you?
Background: The game did used to connect to a database, but the upgrade of our website (and relocation of the swf) seems to have broken the database connection. People couldn't progress past the first screen presumable because the information on which city they were in couldn't be submitted to the database. We've got a version of the game with the database connection disabled and so the game should now work - it works locally for me but not on the website!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sion

The code you have posted is not the same code as used in:
<div id="gallery">
in the link above.
The reason that the Flash is not displaying in FF is that the portion of the code used by FF was omitted. The code currently used on the page only works in IE.
I'm no great fan of the IE conditional statements used in the code you posted so I don't blame you for not using it. But you do need to provide something for FF.... the old, out dated method would be to add and <embed> for FF... here's the newer method..
So either use code you posted above or better yet, get rid of that and replace the current <object> with
<div id="gallery">
<object id="FlashID" data="flash/201.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="958" height="242">
   <param name="movie" value="flash/201.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
     <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0"/>
</object>
</div>
Give that a try. Will work in both FF and newer IE versions.

Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

YEAY!
I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
Worked like a charm.

Can you check for data in one table or another but not both in one query?

I have a situation where I need to link two tables together but the data may be in another (archive) table or different records are in both but I want the latest record from either table:
ACCOUNT
AccountID     Name
123               John Doe
124               Jane Donaldson
125               Harold Douglas
MARKETER_ACCOUNT
Key     AccountID     Marketer    StartDate     EndDate
1001     123               10526          8/3/2008     9/27/2009
1017     123               10987          9/28/2009     12/31/4712    (high date ~ which means currently with this marketer)
1023     124               10541          12/03/2010     12/31/4712
ARCHIVE
Key     AccountID     Marketer    StartDate     EndDate
1015     124               10526          8/3/2008     12/02/2010
1033     125               10987         01/01/2011     01/31/2012
So my query needs to return the following:
123     John Doe                        10526     8/3/2008     9/27/2009
124     Jane Donaldson             10541     12/03/2010     12/31/4712     (this is the later of the two records for this account between archive and marketer_account tables)
125     Harold Douglas               10987          01/01/2011     01/31/2012     (he is only in archive, so get this record)
I'm unsure how to proceed in one query. Note that I am reading in possibly multiple accounts at a time and returning a collection back to .net
open CURSOR_ACCT
          select AccountID
          from
                 ACCOUNT A,
                 MARKETER_ACCOUNT M,
                 ARCHIVE R
           where A.AccountID = nvl((select max(M.EndDate) from Marketer_account M2
                                                where M2.AccountID = A.AccountID),
                                                  (select max(R.EndDate) from Archive R2
                                                where R2.AccountID = A.AccountID)
               and upper(A.Name) like parameter || '%'
<can you do a NVL like this?   probably not...   I want to be able to get the MAX record for that account off the MarketerACcount table OR the max record for that account off the Archive table, but not both>
(parameter could be "DO", so I return all names starting with DO...)

if I understand your description I would assume that for John Dow we would expect the second row from marketer_account ("high date ~ which means currently with this marketer"). Here is a solution with analytic functions:
drop table account;
drop table marketer_account;
drop table marketer_account_archive;
create table account (
    id number
, name varchar2(20)
insert into account values (123, 'John Doe');
insert into account values (124, 'Jane Donaldson');
insert into account values (125, 'Harold Douglas');
create table marketer_account (
    key number
, AccountId number
, MktKey number
, FromDt date
, ToDate date
insert into marketer_account values (1001, 123, 10526, to_date('03.08.2008', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('27.09.2009', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account values (1017, 123, 10987, to_date('28.09.2009', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.12.4712', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account values (1023, 124, 10541, to_date('03.12.2010', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.12.4712', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
create table marketer_account_archive (
    key number
, AccountId number
, MktKey number
, FromDt date
, ToDate date
insert into marketer_account_archive values (1015, 124, 10526, to_date('03.08.2008', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('02.12.2010', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account_archive values (1033, 125, 10987, to_date('01.01.2011', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.01.2012', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
     , max(FromDt) over(partition by AccountId) max_FromDt
from marketer_account
union all
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
     , max(FromDt) over(partition by AccountId) max_FromDt
from marketer_account_archive;
with
basedata as (
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
from marketer_account
union all
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
from marketer_account_archive
basedata_with_max_intervals as (
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
     , row_number() over(partition by AccountId order by FromDt desc) FromDt_Rank
from basedata
filtered_basedata as (
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate from basedata_with_max_intervals where FromDt_Rank = 1
select a.id
     , a.name
     , b.MktKey
     , b.FromDt
     , b.ToDate
from account a
join filtered_basedata b
    on (a.id = b.AccountId)
ID NAME                     MKTKEY FROMDT     TODATE
123 John Doe                  10987 28.09.2009 31.12.4712
124 Jane Donaldson            10541 03.12.2010 31.12.4712
125 Harold Douglas            10987 01.01.2011 31.01.2012
If your tables are big it could be necessary to do the filtering (according to your condition) in an early step (the first CTE).

How do I set upmy Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time. I can use one or the other, but not both.

Hi,
I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
1. DS: 0FI_AP_4 replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Site works in the app, but not in the browser.

Hello iWeb experts,
I've got problems.
Last night I published my site. And while it appears, and functions, properly in my iWeb app, it doesn't do the same in Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
Two issues...
FONTS
I chose Bellamie, Univers Condensed, and Marydale as my fonts. From reading these forums, I've discovered those won't wysiwyg on other computers if the fonts aren't available and open on them. So my two choices are to make every bit of text a graphic or to use a set of more universal fonts, correct? So my questions are...One, is there a list somewhere of fonts that will work in any browser? And, two, is there a short-cut, or easy way to transform type into a graphic without having to create image files?
FUNCTIONS
Here are the functions that work fine in iWeb but have gone haywire in all of the browsers I tested...
• The type in one nav link appears smaller than all the rest.
• Some links are active, others are not.
• Rollover highlighting works on some links, but not others.
• Most of the rollover links appear in the proper static color, a few do not.
I've tested these functions on three Macs, one PC, and in the three browsers mentioned above. All of them show the exact same problems. So something must be going wrong with iWebs coding, or my host server musn't like iWeb.
Any thoughts, suggestions on these two issues? Thanks much for any advice.
John
PS - For reference, see: www.johnrunk.com

Fascinating, Kirk (+he types with one raised eyebrow+).

When I drag across your page most of your links do not change. The "text" portion of them doesn't change, either. Something is covering them.
I can see that. But for the life of me, I don't know what could be covering those links. In my app, when I click in the area of the links, the type is the first item selected. Unless, possibly, it could somehow be the faint reflection of my black-and-white image (me & the ground I stand on). Hmmm...
QuickTimeKirk wrote:
Single click (outside the boundaries of your page contents) and an "outline" will appear. It shows the image file dimensions and locations.
This I don't see. An outline? As in "an object outline," or as in "a list of dimensions and locations?" When I click outside my page contents, I get nothing.
Thanks, QTK. I truly appreciate your troubleshooting here.

Magic Mouse One-Finger Swipe Works for one user but not the other

For the main account on my iMac, I can use a single finger swipe to move back and forward within Chrome. However the second user (also an administrator) cannot use this setting and must instead use the two finger swipe in settings. Both settings are identical but the Chrome browser wont recognize the single finger swipe for the second user. The gesture works fine in Safari, but not Chrome. Any suggestions?

Airplay works for one user but not for another on the same machine

I have the problem where airplay works for one user but not for another and both users are on the same machine. For the user where it does not work, everything appears normal, it's just that there is no sound being transmitted. I have tried restarting the Airport express, restarting iTunes, repairing disk permissions. Any ideas about what can be done to resolve this?

How do I adjust the page orientation in Pages? I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape. Is this possible? I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.

I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape. Is this possible? I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.

The work around is to do two documents, one in portrait format and one in landscape format. When finished export to Pdf. open in Preview by select both files and use Cmd + O or doubleclick. You can now in Previews thumbnail column the pages from one document into the other and then save.
If you have created only one with i.e. all pages in portrait format but with the content for the landscape pages rotated on the pages, you can rotate the pages in Preview. Two ways to get the same result.

Memory works in either slot, but not both at same time?
