Might worth to check it out...MacBook Sale

Greetings,
Here is link to MacBook on sale for today only, Friday, 11/24/2006:

Enjoy.
I received no compensation nor linked nor benefit from the link I posted.

Let's start with the basics.
What model iMac do you have?
How much memory does it have?
What version of the Mac OS are you running
At what times do you notice slow performance? (eg during boot, using specific applications, during shutdown, etc)
Did you recently install new software or hardware that corresponds with the decreased performance?
When the system is slow do you see a 'spinning beachball' where the cursor normally is?
Once you've answered these questions and added any additonal information that you think may be helpful we can chime in with some suggestions. There are lots of possibilities ranging from too little memory (usually easily rectified with a simple memory upgrade), too many applications in use at the same time (if that describes your system, try quitting a few to see if performance improves), or it could be an indication that your hard drive is having difficulty reading/writing data.
You can perform a quick check of your hard drive by pulling the SMART (Self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology) log files that are automatically kept by the hard drive. The logs can tell you whether your hard drive is encountering issues. If you haven't already done so, make sure you backup your important files. I like to use a tool called Smart Utility which you can download and use in the demo mode. If it indicates there are issues with the drive then you will need to seek help from a service provider. Here's a link to the utility:
http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
Once you run Smart Utility, and there are no reported issues, try launching the Disk Utility application that can be found in the Applications/Utilities folder. From within Disk Utility click on the hard drive icon and then select verify disk to see if there are any major file integrity issues that need addressing. If that passes then select the repair permissions option.

  • Config to select Checking Rule "A" during Sales order availability check

    Hi All,
    Please can you tell me the config that tells system to select the checking rule "A" during sales order availability check. The problem at my client side is that the system was using the checking rule "A" initially but suddenly it has started using checking rule "B" (delivery) for sales order. The item category being used in YAN and Scheduline Line category is YC (ATP and Allocation allowed).
    The checking group is getting picked up correctly from the Material Master value.
    I have tried to find all the possible config that might be causing this issue, but I am unable to find one. Based on my understanding of the SAP SD process, there is no place where we can define in system to use the "checking rule" for SD availability check. This is the default (hard-coded) in the system.
    Please can you help me to find how the checking rule "B" might be getting called instead of "A".
    Regards,
    Swapnil

    Hi
    Checking rule is transaction based like A for SD sales order and B for SD delivery like that it is defined
    So in a sales order the system checks with the combination of AChecking rule and the Checking group defined in MMR and for that combination we give controls in OVZ9 and based on that system makes availability check
    Every one  and all SAP materials including myself say Checking Rule is transaction based and picked up by the system thro hard coded controls
    But In t code OPJL it is possible to define new checking rules that means customization is possible
    But where is the link or assignment
    For this nobody has given correct answers including the PP friends
    For you the system is shifting the Checking Rule from A to B in the sales order itself means we can find out get where the said assignment is done
    In OVZ9 remove the combination Checking rule B and your Checking group and save
    You said the system has shifted its  Checking rule to B from A
    Now test it after removing this control in OVZ9 and see the system is shifting once again to A or throwing error as the control is removed in OVZ9
    make sure that you do this in a sales order and post back

  • Error on ATP check when Creating a Sales Order

    Hello,
    I encounter error  on ATP check while creating a Sales Order.
    The error is when I create Sales Order using material A, with or with out indicating the Plant and Storage Location, the Purchase Order quantity is returned on ATP check, but when I create an SO with out indicating the Plant and Storage Location, no PO quantity was returned. Note that we applied SAP Note # 387482 to automatically determine the Storage Location. I have also checked material maintenance in MM03 of Materials A and Material B and nothing was different, they have the same Availabity check condition.
    Is it possible that the SAP note that I applied causes the error?
    By the way I have noticed that when I create Material B and manually populate the Plant and Storage Location there is a pricing error(but it returns the PO during ATP check).
    Thanks.

  • How to find out, that sales invoice is paid

    Hi,
    does anybody some hint, how to easy find out, that sales invoice is paid already (2007). I need to do this check for list of invoices (thousands) - so Im looking for some query.
    I know, how to find it through oinvoice object, from bank payment, internal reconciliation, ..., but I think that there must be some internal view or SP which is in use for SAP for receiving this information (calculating variables). I dont need informations about payment dates, Im looking just for info, that invocie is paid already. Maybe some record in JE linked to invoice?
    thanks

    We need to get the Invoice Paid Amount. Our customer use Bill of exchange frequently , so we are looking into OBOE for payment info, because Invoice Paid Amount (OINV.PaidToDate) does not reflect current payment info when there are Bill of Exchanges.
    Are we wrong?
    Does anybody know an easy way gather this information?
    For more detailed info about the way we are doing this see Field BoeType - OBOE

  • Maxed out MacBook pro or Mid level MacBook pro with Retina?

    I am entering my first year in university in the next couple weeks. I am going to be studying commerce for the next 4 years. I want a macbook that will last me for the 4 years and still be a good product at that time period. Now I am wondering if I should spend $2000  on the maxed out MacBook pro or 2600 for the midlevel MacBookmacbook pro with Retina display. Looking forward to great feedback. Thanks

    It depends on how far you want to go - and how much you want to spend - in maxing out the computer. Let me visit the Apple Store -
    The 'base model' you should go with is the:
    15-inch: 2.6 GHz
    2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
    Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    750GB 5400-rpm hard drive
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
    Built-in battery (7 hours)
    This will be a 'stock' item and has the maximum amount of RAM that Apple will install and is $2,199. The only modifcation to make on this model is the CPU and hard drive, as it also comes with the maxed out VRAM for the NVIDIA graphics card. I wouldn't go for the extra speed bump on the CPU - it's just not worth it. What is worth the extra money is an uprade to the hard drive - from the 750GB 5400-rpm to the 750GB 7200-rpm for an extra $50. If you really want to max it out, of course, you could add the $900 option of the 512GB SSD, but I wouldn't do that - simply too much to pay. So for $2,249 you could get:
    15-inch: 2.6 GHz
    2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
    Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    750GB 7200-rpm hard drive
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
    Built-in battery (7 hours)
    ...and have a very fast (not warp speed, but fast) computer that should you ever decide to upgrade, you can.
    As for the Retina display, it's simply something that I would not invest in at this time. The 'base' model, with only 8GB of RAM is $2,799.00. Increase that RAM to 16GB, and you're looking at $2,999. The extra $750 just isn't worth it. And with few applications taking advantage of the Retina display (if they ever do) you're going to be looking at pixelated tools, text, etc., for who knows how many years. You could get by running only Apple applications, I suppose, but I'm just not ready to be placed in that kind of restrictive mode... are you?
    Just my 2¢, again...

  • Availability Check Screen while creating sales order

    Hi
    If I see the stock level in MMBE , I find enough stock for some materials .But when I create  the sales order for those  materials , system is taking to availability check screen .
    I am going and saving the sales order and trying to create delivery for that sales order but system is giving error that u201Cno schedule lines due for  upto selected dateu201D .
    What could be the problem and Hoh I can fix it please .
    Jaya

    Hi Jaya
    1. Enough stocks in MMBE means what?
    Have you got enough stocks in unrestricted use
    This needs to be checked
    2. IN OVZ9 t code for your checking group of the material in MMR and checking rule A (sales order) there is a check box of include sales requirements
    If that is ticked upon saving a sales order stocks are reserved for that order
    Like that there might be some open orders existing for the item
    You can see the list of such open orders in VA05N
    Hence the system is taking you to availability check screen while creating order because there are not much stocks for this fresh order
    You have saved that inspite of that
    Hence there are no schedule lines in your order
    Hence there is problem in delivery
    Create the delivery on the scheduled dates given by the system in the schedule lines

  • Double-clicking topic checks it out and does not open

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing a strange, vexing problem with both of our source-controlled help projects that no one else on my team is experiencing. This appears to be a problem with my computer/installation of RoboHelp.
    Today, I went into our help projects for the first time in a couple of days, and when I double-clicked any topic, it automatically checked it out of VSS but did not open it. It also checked out the CSS file, template (master page) file, and any graphic files associated with the topic.
    Normally, when I double-click a topic, the topic opens, and it only checks it out of VSS if I start typing in the topic. It does not check out the CSS, master page file, or graphic files unless I make changes to those files.
    Like I said, no one else is experiencing this problem. We all have the same system versions (see below). It appears to be only me, and it's happening with both of our help projects. To my knowledge, I did not do anything to my computer or its application settings to cause this. Has anyone experienced a problem like this? If so, what can I do to fix it? Any other ideas?
    My system information:
    RoboHelp HTML version 8.0.2.208
    Output type: WebHelp
    Source control: Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 8.0.50727.42
    Thank you in advance for any assistance,
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa
    That actually makes total logical sense to me. Here's why.
    Each PC running the Microsoft Windows operating system has a database we all know as the Registry. Inside that registry are entries that govern the behavior of Windows. Consider the Registry to be similar to DNA. The DNA is different for every human, right? The same really holds true with Windows. Some might argue that this cannot be, because if you had the same setup it would be the same. But each copy of Windows has a different user and more specifically, a different serial number.
    Okay, in this registry database is an area known as file associations. So Windows keeps track of which applications should open when files are double-clicked.
    RoboHelp has a similar feature that is governed from the dialog you were in. But it also works in concert with Windows. So who really knows why sometimes it does the things it does. I understand that RoboHelp determines the editor by meta tags found in the HTML of the topics.
    I do know that as part of any RoboHelp training class I facilitate, I regularly lead folks to this area and configure to the "Use Default" as an early step. I do this because if you import a Word document into the project and you leave Auto-select enabled, Word opens when you attempt to double click topics in the RoboHelp editor.
    Happy to have been of some small help... Rick

  • Dreamweaver: how to view file without checking it out?

    I have started using the Check-In/Check-Out feature of
    Dreamweaver 2004. Sometimes I want to view a .cfm file without
    checking it out. I thought the "Get" command might let me do this,
    but the file contents don't display. So how do I view the contents
    of a checked-in file without checking it out?
    Thanks.

    I always use file/open, but then again, I have never checked
    out a file in my life.

  • I am looking for a (free, ideally) virus scan/check for my MacBook Pro -- any suggestions?

    I am looking for a (free, ideally) virus scan/check for my MacBook Pro -- any suggestions?

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There  is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in everyemail attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • I might have a virus sending out e-mails.

    Is there a free virus program for Mac OSX 10.9.2 ? I might have a virus sending out e-mails.

    What makes you think that? What behaviour have you observed?
    There are no viruses as such on OS X -- programs that can enter the computer from the network, install themselves, do bad things and pass themselves on to others.
    There are trojans and other forms of malware. These usually require you to have downloaded and installed something.
    OS X includes its own list of malware that it will not run. This is updated from time to time.

    So I think this might be an outputting error with Commotion but I'm getting weird results with my exports. I shot the footage at 29.97. Edited in FCP. Exported these talking head clips as an FCP movie. Imported into Commotion. Rotoscoped the subject to keep her in focus and de-focused the background. Exported as QuickTime and then when imported back into FCP I get these weird lines when the subject moves her heads. Look like an interlacing error? I've done this workflow hundreds of times in the past and never have seen this. Something must be wrong when exporting. Check it out:

    Re-shoot is not going to happen. This is a simple field issue I believe. Export setting from FCP were: 720x480, NTSC-DV, Lower (Even), 29.97, DV/DVCPRO NTSC. I've tried several different Commotion export settings. With Field Output (both upper and lower), without Field Output. Both as Animation codec and DV-NTSC. I'm now about to check my Composite Settings in Commotion and see if those have any effect.

  • New short action video, come check it out.

    Filmed a short action video, check it out. No budget. Just a T3i with a 50mm and 24-105mm.

    Well-done. Tightly framed and edited.
    One thing that might be useful would be to have some makeup effects on the "protagonist?), to show where he was shot. It looked like he sort of grabbed different body parts.
    Thanks for sharing,

  • How to find out the Sales order no based on spool no

    Hi Experts,
    Anyone tell me how to find out the Sales order no based on Spool no.
    Thanks and regards,
    Amjad

    Hello Mohammed,
    Please check the following SAP Spool tables for your spool request.
    You will find your required document number as an Object key in these tables.
    TSCMSTAT   --> Field OBJNO
    SOOS           --> Field APPLKEY (Document number will be a part of this key)
    If your document is getting printed by SAP Script, then dont forget to take SCR value in the OBJTP field while searching for your record.
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Vikas Bittera.
