MimeMultipart.getBodyPart Blocking Work Around

I am using MimeMultipart's getBodyPart() method. I need to read a bunch of form-data variables and determine if the subsequent set of attached files are valid or not. So, before I read the file portions of the MimMultipart I need to do some processing.
Unfortunately, when I call getBodyPart() it blocks waiting for the entire Multipart message to be sent (which could include hundreds of megabytes of files. But if I determine that a password is invalid or there is some other error using the first couple of form-data parts of the Multipart message, I shouldn't make the user wait to terminate the transfer.
Is there any work around to keep getBodyPart from blocking until the entire MimeMultipart message is sent? IMHO- It really should only block until it is available ... not the entire message.

Just in case anybody else is having this problem, I tested the com.oreilly package, and it works great for this situation. It doesn't require the entire multipart message to be received before you can begin parsing form data.

BO 4.1 SP3 WebI section space Issue - Work around

System:
SAP BO 4.1 SP3 Update
Windows 2008 R2 Std x64 Edition SP1
Universe - Single Source UNX
We upgraded from SP2 to SP3 recently and while working on the WebI report, I noticed that WebI reports with Section creates big spaces between sections and the table block. There is a setting to adjust the Top header vs actual section header space using Format Section. But in the View Mode, there will be lot of space between table blocks due to the Section boundary.
So, I read web articles and tried couple of options but in vain. But the following work around helped me to overcome this issue !!
I tried to create it from a new 'Add report' in the same WebI report, so that I can reuse my earlier tables/cross tabs etc.
1. At the bottom of the WebI report Right click the tab -> Add report -> In the new sheet go to Report Elements -> Section -> Insert Section and select the object from the UNX.
2. A new section is created.
3. Now check whether you can adjust the section size manually. If yes, then copy the Header content / table blocks from the problematic tab to this new tab;
4. You can use the newly created section report for other problematic report tabs.
The above steps are work around ONLY.
For me it looks like a SAP Product bug. If anyone else had similar issue please post your comments !!
Thanks,
Chithresh

Are you also having issues with merged dimensions that are used on the sections?
I've had to unmerge, merge, and create the section again. It throws an error if I don't do that.

Work around ATT Wireless Hotspot?

After many frustrtaing phone calls with ATT support for my mobile hotspot, turns out ATT blocks port 5900 which means I cannot do Screen Share between my laptop and desktop. I have a reliable VPN and can do Screen Share on many other wireless servers but ATT - no.
Any ideas to work around it?

I have a Verizon hotspot instead of ATT, but the web page settings for my hotspot have a VPN allowed setting that activates port 5900. It was turned off by default. Perhaps your hotspot has a similar setting.

Elements 13 will not download, when I attempt to sign in after entering my pass word the instruction block freezes up, turns white and little square blocks turn around ? Nothing seems to work and yes it is the right password.

Is the internet working when you are entering your password? In PSE12 and PSE13, you need to be online first-time when you register/activate your product. It is made mandatory for reasons I don't know.

Static LOV work around

Hi,
I have a list of items (static) that I need to input into LOV. The list is so long and it will be used by many LOVs. I wonder if there is a way that I can use SQL statement to accomplish this?
My client doesn't want to create a look up table in their database. I can only use something termporary.
Can I use PLSQL table? And use a function to return the value of PLSQL table, then select the function in a SQL statement?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Not trying to get you fired here or anything, but who knows more about a database... you or your client? If the LOV is going to be used many times, especially if it could change, or just because there are a lot of values to maintain, then a lookup table is by far the best way to go.
As for your work around question. Yes, it is possible to create a table in a PL/SQL block, populate it, select from it, and then drop it.
However, your initial thought is the better way to go.

MBP Superdrive fail to read work-around!

I have discovered a bizarro work-around to get the data off of your backup DVD's if your MBP Superdrive is failing to read properly.
I have a brand new 17" MBP Core 2 machine and the DVD will not read any more than the first half of the files on my backup DVD disks from my old PowerBook which i no longer available to use for xfer.
When all my backup DVD's exhibited the same problem (will copy about 2G of data and then fail with file read error) I suspected the drive rather than the media (I also saw discussions here).
I inserted a movie DVD to see if it would fail to play that as well, but the commercial movie DVD worked fine, even through the final credits. That seemed strange. I reinserted the backup DVD I had just been struggling with, and it now read the files that failed several minutes before! I now got 9/10 the way through the DVD before it again struggled and then failed to read a file.
Replacing the DVD with the movie, I again ran the credits at the end of the movie for a few moments, then ejected it and replaced it with the 'bad' DVD. I could then read the last few files off of it. I continued with this silly '"manual dexterity test" (remember this test from the days of the original 128K Macintosh with a single floppy disk drive?), and got through all 7 of my iTunes backup DVDs. I think I lost maybe 3 to 5 songs to bad DVD tracks, so that was a 99.9999% success rate, rather than a less than 50% success rate that I started out with.
The important points in the process are:
- this obviously won't work with a "multi-DVD single file" DVD like from using the Apple Backup application. It does work for me for DVD's with > 800 big files on it;
- running the movie DVD seems to "re-set" the Superdrive's heads to the correct positions;
- the heads then gradually run astray after more reads, and can't read the data DVD properly after another ~400 files (1 - 2G) or so (your milage may vary);
- when you hear the Superdrive come to a halt, that means you're toast again and it's time to swap out the data DVD for the movie DVD;
- when you go for the next try on your data DVD, don't futz around getting onies-twosies files - select and go for the entire remaining batch - you have nothing to lose;
- after a successful copy of nnn files with no error message, IMMEDIATELY grab more files and drag and drop them as quickly as possible. Don't let the Superdrive stop spinning or you are again toast, and it's time to eject and run the movie DVD again for a minute;
- it's VERY IMPORTANT that when you get the first Finder "can't read file" error to click Ok and then IMMEDIATELY eject the DVD. Don't click on the Finder window, try to scroll up the list of files, deselect files or do anything else, otherwise the poor Finder will grind away for another 10 minutes trying to complete whatever it's doing to redisplay the current list of the directory on the DVD!
- If there is a bad file, you will have to skip it on the next cycle of read attempts - I couldn't get it to read a few files that were obviously corrupt to begin with. However, you should try to re-read the file it fails on at least once - I was successful in re-reading the file it failed on > 95% of the time!
I hope this convoluted work-around works for you if you are desperately seeking backup data!

what does the "reset" input do? check its polarity vs what the rst block expects, or better yet, just connect ext_reset_in to fclk_reset0_n.
as to why you don't see anything when you write to unaligned addresses is that your program silently crashes as axi-lite slaves don't implement them and return an error which you are not catching.

FaceTime expired device certificate work around

I'm looking for a work around for FaceTime expired device certificate.I have iPad 2nd Gen and an iPod 4th Gen both have IOS 5 that use Google Map. If I upgrade my IOS, Google Maps will be uninstalled. Looking at the Apple forums the only way to fix this is to upgrade my IOS, this is not going to happen. it is stating to look like Android might be a better solution. Any help would be great.
If only Apply and Google could get along.

ITunes 7 crash problem work-around

Until Apple fixes the never-should've-been-released iTunes 7, this is what I've come up with as a work-around: Go back to iTunes 6.0.5
Simpler said then done.
1) First thing is remove that godforsaken iTunes 7 from your Applications folder.
2) Next thing you need to do is delete your iTunesX.pkg file from HD>Library>Receipts so that when you try to install 6.0.5 your computer doesn't block the installation because it thinks iTunes already is installed.
3) Third, go to your Music folder and create a new folder (call it "For when Apple fixes iTunes 7" or something like that); move the iTunes folder into this new folder, otherwise when you start up iTunes 6 it will tell you that all your music is formatted for iTunes 7 and the program won't even open.
4) Fourth, go here and download iTunes 6.0.5
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/itunes605.html
5) Install iTunes 6.0.5
6) Open iTunes 6.0.5
7) In iTunes, Click on File>Add to library... go to that iTunes folder that you stuck in that new folder called "For when Apples fixes iTunes 7" in step 3. Highlight all the albums you want and click Choose or Open or whatever it says
8) Depending on the volume, it will take a while to copy all the music files. It's a two-step process: first they appear in your iTunes library greyed out, then eventually they are fully copied and become live.
Good luck!

Somehow the audio output setting in audio midi setup got set to 96000Hz. I changed back to 44100Hz and this seems to have fixed my crashing problem.
I hope this helps some other frustrated peeps.
Normally, you only have to worry about this changing when 3rd party apps are installed, but it sure seems like either the iTunes 7 or Quicktime update were the culprits this time. Another symptom that this setting may be incorrect is that you get no sound at all from flash content.

I have an Iad2 and ever since ios6-there are issues.I get occasional lock-ups and have to reboot. The WSJ app freezes when running their videos to the end. The only work-around is to stop the video before it's over. Worse than windows me !!!!!

My Ipad2 worked perfectly before ios6 upgrade. It now freezes occasionally and I have to reboot to get it to work. Also the WSJ app will now freeze if I try and run one of their videos that is imbedded in the article. My only work-around is to stop (press done) before the end of the video or I have to do a total reboot. The problems remind me of Windows ME . Will Apple resolve these issues or become more like Microsoft. Hopefully there will be a restore button in the future like Microsoft was forced to do because a lot of upgrades are just terrible. Am I crazy or are there other people having the same issues with ios6, or could this just be a coincidence and my ipad2 is starting to fail just when ios6 arrives ?

I know this will not help but, the bluetooth headset I purchased for my wife works great and it pairs with our car and our sound bar in the livingroom (Motorola Droid Razr) 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US
However I did not upgrade over the air but from a android web site and placed it on my external sd card. I believe this made the difference in why we had no issues and upgraded functionality has been great.
Please note when I mention these bluetooth devices I mean the Razr connects with no problems.
It also had no internet issues and none of the problems others have complained about in other threads.
unfortunately when you say thousands have these issues I cannot say that is accurate. The hope is when large numbers of owners have updated to the Jelly Bean and are complaining inmase then Motorola will issue a patch to verizon to get out to the affected users.
Of course now that Google owns Motorola Mobility and has laid off loads of workers it may never issue an os patch.

Does anyone know of a work around for this problem? : iphone 5 will not work on Chryslers uconnect. I found out that they are working on it but have no ETA.   However, they will not help you if your vehicle is older thatn 2008.

Do not get an iphone 5 if you want to use it with a Chrysler product. The Chrysler Uconnect system might pair with your phone but the uconnect system will usually abend and become unusable after a few telephone conversations. I have been to the dealer twice. They have reset the uconnect system twice and I find it works for about 2 to 3 phone calls then it abends and uconnect becomes useless. They had me call Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. I was told that the iphone five is not compatable at this time with any chrysler uconnect phone through the dash system, even the new vehicles. He had me get on this web site: www.uconnectphone.com as a place to monitor as when it would be compatable. They told me that Samsung seems to be working harder to make it compatible than apple is and they had no idea when it would begin to work. In effect Chrysler was telling me dump the iphone and get a Samsung if you want it to work in a Chrysler. Also, the site would only give you information for Chrysler that were 2008 or newer, they gave the following number to call if your vehicle was older.    I called that number and they told me that Chrysler and Uconnect had no plans at all to make the iphone 5 work, in the future, on any Chrysler older than 2008. So.......If you have a Chrysler or Dodge that is older than 2008 you will NEVER be able to use an iphone5 on the uconnect through the dash system.   Do not buy an iphone if you have an older vehicle. It will never be supported for the $1,000 you paid for this uconnect system on your car. My car is a 2005 Town and Country. I asked both Chrysler and uconnect if their was some sort of work around so I could use my phone. They both told me their was not and that they had no plans to resolve this situation for my vehicle. This means that I need to either get rid of my $42,000 vehicle with low milage or get rid of my Iphone 5. Niether are really good options.
I was also givne the following places to send formal complaints, even though I was told that neither Chrysler, Dodge or Apple were going to do anything to correct my problem:
for email:   [email protected]   or Mail: Chrysler customer Assistance P.O. Box 218004, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48321
If anyone hears of a work around to be able to use an Iphone 5 in a Chrysler or Dodge product, please let me know.

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

Security settings changing. Is there a work around?

Hello,
I work for a "Company" that has ten's of thousands computers loaded with the latest version of Adobe Reader X. Unfortunately when we create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro it cannot be signed by anyone using Adobe Reader X. Some how the security settings are changing when the form is open in Reader X. When the form is opened using Acrobat 9 Standard the form can be signed...the security settings have remain the same as when we built it in Pro. Is there a work around or something I have missed? This is a rather urgent issue as it will be effecting our whole "Company" and in the meantime we have been told to use another product until a solution is found. Your input is greatly appreciated!

The usage rights must be enabled in Acrobat Pro.

Is there a work around to use two Apple IDs across and iPhone and a MB Pro?

iPhone 5 and Macbook Pro Retina late 2013. iOS 8.1 and Yosemite.
It's a company iPhone and a personal MBP. Phone has an Apple ID associated with company credit card and MBP personal Apple ID with personal credit card.
There is a cross platform issue as you cannot use two Apple IDs in Facetime and Messages. Therefore my iPhone and MBP do not interoperate correctly, for example, a text message in messages on the iPhone will not appear in Messages on the MBP. Similar situation for FaceTime. When you try to enter the second email associated with the second Apple ID on either platform you get "cannot verify because email is already in use".
Any work arounds?
This is something Apple should have really anticipated as iPhones become more widespread in corporate use.

Thank you for your continued interest and research on my behalf on this situation. I was on the phone with Apple support (at no charge) for over an hour yesterday. Becasue I have what they cal a "vintage computer"(7 1/2 years old), there are some additional issues. We thought it was solved at teh end of the phone call but aparently it was not. I am going to call them now and see what else can be done. I will keep you posted.
Thanks again.

Is there a work around to connect an archos 80 g9 to a-digital editions?

My tablet is not listed in the supported devices list for adobe digital editions - but I am hoping there is some work-around/app that will enable me to read content vial ADE from our local library.
Works fine with a different tablet that my wife has - but the ADE software somehow does not "see" the archos 80 g9 even though the PC has correctly identified it and loaded drivers etc.
Gratefull for any tips...?

Insane XML Import, Huge Project, Duplicate file names work around...

I planned on kicking off my journey attempting to edit a massive multi year documentary on FCPX with a nice introduction of the blog I'm going to keep about the experience, but I've run into a bit of a roadblock, or maybe major speed bump at least before even getting to that point. I wanted to share what is working as a work around for me and you guys can tell me how I'm doing it wrong.
Ok, I will try to explain this as succinctly as possible. I'll write in somewhat stream of consciousness just to try and get through it quicker... Basically, after discovering the work around below, I am now utterly confused on how FCPX handles the relationship between its own database of where media is stored, and the actual media itself. I have plenty experience on FCPX now, probably done 30-40 pro commercial jobs on it over the last year since XML became doable as I'm also a Resolve Colorist and all the FCPX projects where hardcore coloring product spots. For commercial work, I never needed to worry about splitting up footage up over multiple Events. Everything, all in one, FCPX handled it no problem. (well the occasional beach ball, but that seems to be a thing with FCPX in general)
This will be my 10th feature documentary as an Editor. Every one before it was either on Avid's many flavors over the last 12 years or FCP Studio. When this new film came along, I made the decision a few months ago to use FCPX for a few reasons, but mostly because I'm insane and I like to try to mix it up for myself in a career that can get stale quick if you aren't willing to be that way. The film was shot over 2+ years, every shoot was multi cam 5D (yes i know, looks great, but please kill me), I haven't done the math on length, but there is over 10,000 clips of video (this is actually medium in size compared to what I've dealt with before). Its 5D, so theres external audio for everything. FCPX's syncing is great, but I've learned that theres an unsaid window of heads and tales clips must fall within to sync properly with the nearby clips, if they are too far apart FCPX gives up. One shoot day could have 3 cams, 50 clips each, and 2 audio files to sync to, FCPX simply cannot handle this, so off to Plural eyes they went, no problems.
Ok, all this is relevant eventually I swear! Again, in the past, all in one event, no problem. I tried for fun to bring all media into one Event on this film. It worked, but there is a 10+ second spinning beach ball for every single move you make, so thats no good. Ok, I'll separate the Events out to, lets say, each shoot month. Well that's dumb, in verite documentary, any shot could be the first, any shot could be the last, you need a command over all searchable footage at all times. Shift selecting all events to search *****, and it actually takes longer for FCP to reload each event each time than it does to just have the one massive one. So no go there. Next hair brained idea... What if make a new Event that is just Compound Clips of all the other Event's contents and do more with Markers and Favorites in logging that I was planning to parse it all out. That way I'm working with and FCPX is dealing with 50-60 clips instead of 10,000+ Quick test, Cmd-A, Opt-G, boom, boom, boom, move all to dedicated to Event, hide huge Event, BEHOLD, that works! FCPX chokes a little bit on the insane length of some of the clips, but searching, and general performance is back on par!
So your saying to yourself "Ok *********, sounds like you figured it out, what's the problem." Well to you I say, "Not so fast!" Remember, that was just a quick test using the media I had imported into the massive 10,000+ clip Event. To do this project proper, I am having to import Multicam sync'd XMLs from Plural Eyes. And this is where it all starts to fall apart. A little foreshadowing for your eager eyes. 10,000+ files all shot with multiple 5D's over the course of years. What does that mean? many, many duplicate file names!
FCPX as well all know irritatingly imports XML's as new Events, not into existing ones. This obviously takes a lot of burden off media management because with a new Event comes a new database referencing its own version of the raw media. All well and good, and I'm betting its starting to click for some if you advanced users where I'm finally going with this. So I have 50 or so XMLs to bring in, all done no problem. Now I want to replicate that singular Event like I did with the Compound Clip test and have it all in one place to be my master as extensive logging begins for easy searching once editing begins. Highlight the Events, click Merge Events. NOPE. I get a new "Kill Yourself Now" error (a term I coined for Out of Memory and General Error messages in FCP Legacy meaning there ain't much you can do about it): "Two or more files have the same name. Change the names and try again, because I don't know what the **** to do with them." Ok I made up that last part but that's basically what it's saying. Just take the variable out of the equation, this happens with every which way you could try to get the clips together. Merge Events, dragging events on top of each other, dragging just the Multicam clip alone, nothing gets passed that message. What's worse is that while Batch Renaming seems like a solution, the renames do not populate inside the created clips and there is no way to Batch Rename those. Renaming everything at the finder level isn't so great because then I'd have to resync and theres an offline/online thing going here where the film has to be reconformed eventually.
Basically, I've found that FCPX handles media management in completely different ways depending on whether you are importing into one Event yourself or doing essentially what is a new import with FCPX moving or merging Events. If you bring in all the media to one Event, on a macro level FCPX goes through file by file making aliases referencing the master file. If it hits a duplicate, it makes a parenthesis counter, and keeps going. And with the genius of FCPX metadata, that file name doesn't even matter, you can change it at the Finder level and FCPX will keep the link intact. BUT for some reason if you try to do this outside the realm of a single Event and combine files after the fact a different process takes over in creating this database system and can't handle the duplicates. I can't totally figure the reason other than it probably is scared to change the originally referenced alias to something else (which it shouldn't be scared of since Merge Events deletes the original anyway).
This is where it gets INSANE and where I lose all understanding of what is going on, and believe me it was a delicate understanding to begin with. It comes in to play with the work around I figured out. I make the master Event with the 10,000+ clips. Then I import all the XMLs as dedicated Events. Now, I then drag the Multicam clips into the master Event, it WORKS! just takes it, no "Kill Yourself Now" error. Stranger still, now with the switched referenced Event, it even takes into account which aliased duplicate file name it's referencing in the Original Media folder. Somehow, it's taking into account the original file path and saying "Ok, I see 5 instances of MVI_5834.mov. Based on the original file path or maybe creation date or god knows what, it must be MVI_5834 (fcp3).mov." It connects perfectly. I can even remove the old XML imported Event with no problem. Crazier yet, I can now move those again to the dedicated Event I wanted originally that only contains those Multicam or Compound Clips.
So instead of going straight from A to C, going from A to B to C works even though that actually seems way more complicated. Why can't FCPX handle Merge Events and dragging clips the same way it handles media imported into a single Event. And weirder still, why can't FCPX handle the (fcp1,2,3...) appending in the same scenario. But if the appended links are already there, No Problem. And for the love of god, it'd be nice to important XML's into existing Events and make the correct referencing happen right from the get go, which is really the source of all the above headache. I'd have no problem helping FCPX with a little manual pointing in the right direction just like any other NLE needs.
Ok, having said all of that crap above, my question is, have I missed something completely simple I should have done instead? Now that I have everything in place how I originally envisioned, I think I will still play around a little bit more to make sure FCPX is really going to be able to handle this project. I'm at a stage right now where going another direction is still an option, although the dare devil in me wants to make this work. Media management aside, once you start editing on a FCPX timeline, its hard to go back to anything else. Apple is going to have to figure out some way not to access to everything at all times to work fluidly or big projects like this are never going to be practical in FCPX.
Sorry for the long confusing post....

I'm having the exact same problem, but I know nothing of ruby scripts. I've exhausted my resources with tech support, and after literally hours of work with them it seems I now am faced with either re-rating each individual song, or pointing iTunes to each song that it can't locate. Is yours a solution that could help me? How can I find out more about Ruby Scripts? Thanks for your help, hellolylo (or anyone else who might also be able to help...)
