Mistake = Learn = Mistake
Hi,
As they said "People learn from their Mistakes" some says "People learn from others mistakes" anyway I'm here to present some of my silly mistakes right from the start of my BASIS career as there are lots of but I try to bring those which are still a nightmare..
-) I learned SAP on windows box when it comes to shutdown the SAP system (with os) I took remote of the server and found no MMC window is running "scrached my head" and shutdown PRD server without stopping MMC, DB & logging off users nightmare for my senior ; and their I learned how to stop SAP
-) Shutdown SAP 4.6c to take offline backup without removing cluster after completion started system now the next day the morning begin with alert morning - learned to freeze / unfreeze cluster before and after offline backup
-) Applied kernel without taking backup - learn to take backup
-) Done some of post system copy tasks on PRD instead QAS - learned to check the current working screen
-) Started CI many times without starting ASCS & looking for other possible issue : learned to start 1st ASCS
I think we all have done some mistake and we learn, remembered it try to put some of your valuable mistakes to learn the mistakes Happy learning mistakes..
Regards,

Applied a non-unicode kernel to a portal (NW java is always unicode). The funny thing was, the portal was still running for six months or so, because there was a correct kernel in DIR_EXECUTABLE...
Then while applying the new supp stack, i wondered why JSPM suddenly asked for the non-unicode kernel. I had to open a OSS message. When they asked why there was a non-unicode kernel, i already started to write a harsh answer, that there is only unicode on NW java. Luckily i double checked...
By the way, there is this legendary thread in the hp support forums: [greatest blunders|http://forums.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=186009], obvioulsy rm -r is one of the top mistakes in the unix world. And there is no recycle bin...
So always backup (and test your restores)!
Good luck, Michael

Cosigning Student Loans - Learn From My Mistakes - Please Read
I have gone through a nightmare due to a student loan that I co-signed on, and I am creating this post in the hopes that you will learn from my mistakes. Please pass this post on to anyone who you think would benefit, and hopefully save them a lot of heartache and anxiety. My post is lengthy, but please be patient and read it, it could literally save your financial life.Briefly here is my situation: I am the co-signer on a $60K Sallie Mae private student loan where the primary borrower has defaulted on me, meaning they have told me they cannot pay a dime, have no intention of changing their lifestyle to do so, and will not tell me when, if ever, they will make good on this. Meanwhile, as the guarantor of the loan, I have been subjected to the full force of SM collection agency practices, and forced to face the music while the primary person on this loan can blissfully ignore the situation as if it was not happening. After multiple weeks of heartache, anxiety and worry over my financial future, I found in the fine print that if I make 24 consecutive on-time payments, then I am off the hook. I verified this with SM and am now 6 months into paying this off. As long as nothing unexpected occurs, I am looking forward to being off the hook in 18 months, having learned an expensive but not life altering lesson, as I was originally facing. Now let me go into some lessons, please pass these on to anyone you think would benefit - let's make this post the most widely read one on FICO forums, this is so important. And now my hard lessons learned:Lesson #1: DO NOT COSIGN A STUDENT LOAN: especially private student loans which carry higher interest rates. When you cosign a loan, you are the guarantor: you are putting your good credit profile on the line and telling the loan agency that you are responsible if anything ever happens with the primary borrower and they are unable to pay. All the obligations are on your shoulders, in fact, in many ways you are more responsible than the primary borrower, and this is how the loan and collection agencies will treat you. If you think: that's just the fine print, that will never happen, think again. It happens all the time, are you willing and able to take on this burden if you have to? Possibilities become reality, and this is a reality you do not want to be a part of, trust me on this. If you want to help someone, find other ways to do it outside of the system. Loan them the money as an individual, or pay their rent or expenses, that way, if problems arise, you don't have to get credit agencies, loan agencies, and collections agencies involved. If you are a parent and want to help your child, see Lesson #2.Lesson #2: LOAN ONLY WHAT YOU CAN LOSE: Every rule has exceptions, so the exception to Lesson #1 is this: only cosign on a loan if you are absolutely willing and able to pay off the full loan obligation. When you cosign you are lending your good name and credit profile, and you are effectively loaning money that you will have to pay back if the primary borrower defaults. In other words, never loan more than you are willing to lose, and therefore never cosign for more than you are willing to lose. And be willing to accept that the fact that your relationship with the primary borrower may be permanently damaged if you are forced to step in and cover their obligations.Lesson #3: LOANS GROW: I cannot emphasize this point enough, it really burned me: I did not co-sign a loan for 60K, I co-signed for 45K, and without my knowledge the primary borrower capitalized the interest during the first 18 months of the loan, which they were allowed to do, but it caused the loan to grow by 33%. So when it came time to guarantee the loan, I was on the hook for 60K, which I had never originally agreed to.Lesson #4: SALLIE MAE DOES NOT CARE: And why should they? This is business. As co-signer, you are the guarantor of the loan, you have to make good on the obligation when the primary borrower defaults. In fact, as guarantor, the loan and collection agencies will go after you harder than the primary borrower. Do you have a good credit and collateral, such as a house? Well this binds your obligation even more tightly. When loan and collections agencies see that you have the wherewithal to pay, they will not let you off the hook. And they don't care if paying off their loan puts you on the street. This is business and you have to pay up. Understand this black and white reality before you co-sign a loan. Lesson #5: DON’T DELAY PAYMENTS: Forbearance and deferments are often mentioned as options for helping out on loan obligations, but do not fall into this trap: they make a bad loan situation worse, they don't help. Deferment does not prevent interest from accumulating: you'll just have a bigger loan to pay when the deferment ends. Student loans typically give you a deferment grace period, usually 6 months, before you have to start paying back the loan. Most of us have to use this initial grace period, but please avoid it if you can, it just makes your loan grow larger. Forbearance is another method of delay, but it requires you to make the loan current before the loan agency can talk to you. In other words, you have to be paid up on what you currently owe before the loan agency will talk to you about forbearance. Think about this Catch-22: you can't pay your current loan obligations, so you ask the loan agency for help. The loan agency won't talk to you until you make the loan current. Never use deferment or forbearance, they make your bad situation worse. Lesson #6: NO LEGAL RECOURSE: Student loan debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy court proceedings, it is debt that you will carry for life until it is paid off, regardless of what happens to you. And don't assume that the loan agency will only take legal action against the primary borrower in a default situation: they will also take legal action against you. Remember, you are equally responsible, you will be held legally accountable. And don't think that you can sue the primary borrower. You can only sue them if you have a separate promissory note with them, signed and notarized, that they have defaulted on. And even if you do, it is expensive and time-consuming to sue someone, especially if they have moved out-of-state, and practically impossible if they have moved out-of-country. You could probably never come out ahead, unless the amount owed was so large as to make it worth it. Unless you are wealthy, or a big organization, do not rely on your option to take legal action in the future, it's often just not practical. Lesson #7: WOULD I DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON?: When you co-sign for a family member, there is a certain level of built in trust in the relationship, but when you co-sign for a friend, or girlfriend, or boyfriend, you are putting your faith in the future: faith that they will be around in the future and that they will always have your best interests at heart. Please wake up. People take advantage of other people all the time. Especially when it comes to money, people get scared and choose to hide under a rock, disappear, ignore the problem as if it does not exist. If you are the co-signer, you are the guarantor. If the primary borrower understands this, then they can choose to disappear and leave you holding the bag. Do not assume that the person who cares for you now will always care what happens to you. Business is business, personal is personal. When you are asked to co-sign for a loved one, ask yourself first: do I want to go into business with this person? How do they resolve conflict? If they get into trouble one day will they work with me? Or will they disappear on me? Do they have a conscience, and will they care how this affects me? Or will they see an opportunity to be off the hook? Ask yourself these hard questions. And don’t assume that they will think as responsibly as you. Don’t assume that they care what happens to their credit score, or what this means for the future. Treat the primary borrower as a person you are doing business with, and therefore someone who you need to rely on when times get tough. Chances are, you are the more responsible person here, so ask yourself, can I really afford to go into business with this person?Lesson #8: PROTECT YOURSELF: If your credit score gets damaged over a bad loan, your total financial life will be affected for a long time. It doesn't matter how good your intentions are, it doesn't matter why you got into a financial bind, it doesn't matter that your family member was sick, or that you were going through a hard time, or that you are low on money because you gave it all to charity. The current system of credit scoring requires you to keep your total financial profile in a healthy state at all times. If you are delinquent on payments, or worse, default on loan obligations, then your credit will suffer and you will be affected for a long time. You will be unable to qualify for loans, you will be unable to get good interest loans. Think about the effect this will have on your family in the future: not being able to afford a house for them because you can't get a loan, because you made a good faith error several years before. That's the reality you have to avoid, so protect yourself at all times.Lesson #9: AND FINALLY: Some people reading this will feel that I am missing the point: that of course loans carry obligations, and of course there are consequences if loan payments are missed. For the record, I relied on Sallie Mae loans to get me through college and grad school. I made all my payments on time, I paid my loans off, I even used the available 6 month deferment. But this only worked because I was responsible, because I had a plan, because I understood my monthly and total financial obligations at all times, and never made a life decision that would compromise my ability to pay. Cold reality: many people in this world are not responsible, they don't think through the consequences of their decisions, they are unable or unwilling to look at the hard facts. When you co-sign with one of these individuals, as I did, you are tethering your good name and your financial future to them. If they fail in their responsibility, they will take you down with them. Do not let this happen, protect yourself, you have worked too hard in your life to let an irresponsible person take you down. I hope you have found this posting useful. Please pass it on so that everyone can learn from my mistakes and hard-earned lessons.
My heart goes out to you. My stomach was in knots for you just reading about your situation. Thanks for the lessons learned. I co-signed a private education loan with my ex husband. I wish I had someone like you back then to sit me down and make me really think. Unfortunately, I was young and naive and never thought twice about co-signing. Even though the original loan amount was small by most standards (less than $8000), here it is 10 years later and that stinking loan is still attached to my credit rating. It's barely halfway paid off with another 10 years to go. The ex is a bit of a deadbeat so after some late payments a few years ago, he has since only made the minimum payments. At this rate, I will be ready to retire when that stupid thing is paid and off my reports. I am very conscientious about my own financial health and have less than $1000 on a credit card, a little of my own student loans, and a reasonable mortgage. BUT because I am forever listed as co-signer of this silly loan, it actually drags down my FICO rating. I could suck it up and pay off the whole balance myself in a few months time....which causes me to feel sick to my stomach. Its my only option besides watching this thing languish for 10 more years.

Canon Boo Boo - learn from my mistake!
This is my first post and I'm typing it with my head hung low!
I did a lot of research and eventually found the Canon HF 200 as an ideal camera for my use. I did a lot of searches to find that many people were connecting it to iMovie and also FCE.
Only, it appears after speaking to Apple today there is a tiny little difference between the NTSC and PAL versions on the HF 200 and that's that ours over here in the UK is FORMALLY referred to (in little letters under the camera) as the HF 200 e. Notice that tiny little e? In the USA and Americas it's referred to simply as the HF 200 (no e). But GENERICALLY, in forums and in discussion, they are both referred to as the HF 200. The 'e' is really a technicality for Canon.
So I've bought a £600 camera which I can use... but can't do anything with the footage.... having also just bought FCE. The hassle of selling it and now having to do research again to find a compatible one is annoying and stressful. Hopefully you'll be able to learn from my mistake and save yourself some money.

.. ... but can't do anything with the footage....
what let's you think so?
• your Mac and any software accepts both standards.
• AppleTV accepts both standards.
• iDVD accepts both standards, and allows to 'switch' between both standards (=creating a PAL-disk from NTSC-content and vice versa).
• any DVDplayer (soft- or hardware) accepts both standards.
• and most (>90%) European TVs accept NTSC-content on PAL-screens (from NTSC-sources, as videoDVDs) ..
so, your problem is.. ? -
My account ID on my new ipad was different from my imac. I accidently synced the two and then learned that the two ID's must be the same (which they are now). I am new to ipad so am just learning. My ID is not "sailsalot." I am getting tons of answers from Apple Support to questions that sailsalot is asking. My ID is <removed by moderator>

iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
In a prior post I lamented about not finding my photo files in my Maxtor External Hard Drive after my iBook crashed. The end result was that most of my photos came back to iPhoto in only thumbnail format. The "film roll" names existed without the contents. The strange thing was that certain rolls were not affected...
Due to a very helpful man at the Apple Store Genius Bar I finally know the cause of my trouble.
SO DON'T DO THIS:
Partway through my photo library I got in the habit of naming my rolls (when importing pictures off my digital camera) in this format: 4/23/06 Ski Mt Baker
I found out that using the forward slash is a big no-no. Maybe this is obvious to some but not to me!!
Sure enough, when I reviewed which files were successfully backed up on my external hard drive and which were not, it was directly related to this naming structure. So I have since stopped using the forward slash in any dates.
There are other characters you need to avoid using as well.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)Wickstad:
How is the Maxor Drive formatted. I use the forward slash all the time for naming rolls and haven't had any problem with copying or backing up those folders or files. I also name the files that way.
If the Maxor isn't formatted for Mac OS X Extended then that may be the cause. -

I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much
Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones. Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades. As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.

Have I made mistake buying Apple TV...?...
OK just got an Apple TV. Just got new Macformat magazine which reviews v3 S/ware and compares other Media Players to.
I have a PS3 downstairs now, and read up on APple TV 1st so knew what it could/couldn't do.
I paid £219 in Apple retail store, but now I'm thinking that maybe I should have bought another PS3 for upstairs (where my Apple TV is)
Buying another PS3 would have allowed me still to stream like I do with Apple TV now, play DVD, play Blu-ray, even games if I wanted.
have I made a mistake? I use my PS3 downstairs for media playing ans its fine, when I consider now another PS3 wold have cost £230 so about same price and for more..?..Alley_Cat wrote:
I don't think you were ever sure exactly what you wanted - you asked lots and lots of questions and had lots of replies.
thats why I was asking in the forums as wasnt sure what to do no.
If the PS3 does all those marvellous things, why did you consider AppleTV instead of a PS3 in the first place, surely another PS3 would have been a no-brainer if you loved the way it did these things?
reason being is because I liked the look of AppleTV, what the literature said it could do, small footprint, easy use (for wife and kids to use), Apple quality, streaming of music, use of iPhone for remote for music, portability, so could put in kids bedroom as only 2 cables...
Not being critical, just saying presumably the PS3 wasn't a no-brainer for you to even consider something else.
As above
Maybe it's just a different system and the learning curve is steep.
maybe yes
I hate my PS3 for media streaming, and I've never got it to work reliably - but maybe that's because I had AppleTv first and got used to that and then couldn't be bothered investing time learning to do things differently for PS3 - perhaps you have this situation in reverse.
Why do you hate the PS3 for streaming? its just a matter of putting PS3 Media Server on and then navigating to the folder for Video, music or Photos to play?
The PS3 has lots to commend it but only if you're happy fiddling with discs, and it will not play all media natively, though some streaming servers for it will transcode on the fly.
Fiddling with disks?, why to play a DVD? not much fiddle really.
As I found out last night kids wanted to watch a DVD, upstairs (where AppleTV is), this time I couldnt just pop one in, all my previous conversions are in avi currently, so I had to reconvert, copy to PC server, then sync through there. I suppose once I have converted all then it will be fine then, buts it taking ages (4 movies about 8hours to convert)
Contact Apple and see what the return policy is locally.
I may do that, I really want to like it, its just it was almost an impulse on the day purchase, it was £219, whereby another PS3 is £10 more, and it can seem to do a lot lot more.
I just want some comments especially form people who have a PS3 as well like yourself to expain why you much prefer AppleTV over PS3, is it because you do a lot of renting and purchasing in iTunes on AppleTV, I will not do this that much I dont think, also PS3 now has a video store.
Please help I will contact think over the next days and try to get some comments

720p60 Video in a 720p50 Timeline Mistake
Eeegaads, what a mistake I've made!
My latest 15-minute piece (a volunteer project) was some well shot 720p60 talking heads with black background which we covered with stills and video from several locations. Lovely music. Great pacing. Brings people to tears-great. So, I finish my 14-hour editing session, export to Compressor, give it the routinely best quality for 90-minutes, and DVD Studio Pro rejects the imported asset as PAL in an NTSC project making a DVD impossible.
My bad. My bad. My bad.
I have edited 720p60 video into a 720p50 timeline for no reason on Earth I can explain. So:
1) Is DVD Studio Pro interpreting the 720p50 as PAL? Or is this a trash your preferences odd event?
2) Is it possible to just change the completed Timeline now to 720p60?
3) If not, can I spend a few hours copying and pasting between the current 720p50 Timeline and a new 720p60 Timeline?
So, what did I do for the Sunday presentation? Ran a Quicktime play back from my MacBook Pro of the piece into a 52-inch plasma monitor. Of course, you could see the QT player controls, but nobody cared. The piece brought the house down and made people weep. BUT the editor/producer/photog is a wreck/wreck/wreck.
Thank you, FCP Gurus. I learn so much from you all.

David A.What would you recommend for broadcast?
Depends on the network requirements. Do they want HD? 1080i 29.97? 720p 59.94? SD? Digibeta or Beta?
For just a standard def DVD?
720p24. Less space, and DVDs play at 24fps...
For the internet H.264 and Flash?
Whatever format you want...just make sure it's progressive.
And it could be all of those.
COULD BE? So you have to plan for EVERYTHING? Man, not fun. Because network requirements are so diverse...there is no standard.

What are your top "collaboration" mistakes?
We all know that collaborating cross-functionally is key to getting new marketing ideas and approaches adopted internally. However, I bet many of us have learned this the hard way. I know I did. In my early days of using marketing automation I actually built and rolled out a lead scoring model without a single bit of input from sales. BIG PROBLEM!
So, tell us some stories. What mistakes have you (or others in your organization) made that have hindered cross-departmental alignment? If you were going to advise new marketers on mistakes to avoid when rolling out new marketing ideas and approaches internally, what would you say?Great question, Sarah Hums-Oracle! We did educate / demonstrate / document for our internal clients, but found there was need for pretty constant "re-education"... the farther removed from the initial to the first actual use, the greater the need for re-education. Those of us using Eloqua every single day were struggling a bit at first to understand why our internal clients weren't talking the same Marketing Automation language. I've now had multiple sessions where we share screens and link campaign planning to Eloqua functionality, and have seen an increased interest in the campaign canvas and the back-end data (at first, it was like "Why are you showing me the Eloqua campaign canvas? Let's get back to my campaign strategy PPT."). There has also been a lot of re-education on how exactly marketing automation can function to nurture contacts through the customer journey cycle - we are still living about 85% in the world of discrete marketing campaigns, and only beginning to integrate the world of drip campaigns (welcome, nurture, re-engagement) now that our internal clients understand what those are (and that the associated assets and timing need to be thoughtfully planned out!).

there are 6 updates to be made with my system and they start but after downloading and rebooting it always says that non could be installt because of an mistake, but no help, no number, no possibility to chose from...
Do you get an error number? What is the exact message?
Two things to try.
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store.
If that doesn't work, try an App Store reset and then try again.

I deactivated cellular data services on my ipd by mistake. Is there anyway to reactivate it.
I deactivated Verizon cellular data services on my ipad by mistake. I still had one gigabyte of data services left. Is there any way to reactivate my service with Verizon. I called Verizon. They said no way. They said I would need to buy another SIM card.
I wanted to cancel the automatic renewal of prepaid celluar data. I wasn't planning on using it after I used up my remaining bytes. I canceled the renewal, but then went to the next step and tapped on delete my account without realizing what I was doing. I then got an email from Verizon saying my device had been deactivated and the remaining balance on my data plan would be lost and that I would need to visit a Verizon store to get a replacement SIM card. I called Verizon and explained that I made a mistake and could they reactivate my account. The customer service representative explained to me that once I deactivated my account ther was nothing they could do to restore it( don't remember exact words, but that was the gist of it). It was a mistake on my part. Live and learn.

Is It A Mistake To 'Bet' On iWeb
I love the look of iWeb templates and the ease of incorporating streaming video, audio and photos. I also love the fact that I, without knowledge of html, can create a good looking site.
But I'm building a commercial web site that I hope will draw a large number of visitors. I also hope it will be advertiser supported. Am I making a mistake trusting this to iWeb and .Mac?
Do the software and the ISP have the heft to support me? Is anyone else using this as a heavily trafficed commercial site?
If you have easy-to-use alternatives that can handle more tasks and/or volume, please let me know. Also, let me know where I can learn to 'supercharge' iWeb.
I'll be very grateful for any insights.
