Need Help Determining Which Sound Chip Is On New Motherboard
I have a Toshiba M45-S331 that had a damaged motherboard, and I couldn't find the exact replacement MB at a reasonable cost, so I substituted a #V000051700 MB. After reassembling the laptop, everything works great except I get no sound. I'm hoping that the issue is that the replacement motherboard has a different sound chip, so a different driver would be required, but I'm having difficulty finding out which chip is integrated in the MB, and therefore which drivers will work. Is there a way to get the appropriate spec's on the motherboard? There were some sub-numbers on the MB - 6050A0067901, if that helps.
After further research, I found out that the new motherboard came out of a Toshiba M45-S3553, which has the same drivers as the original M45-S331, so the problem must be something other than the sound drivers. It may be the sound chip is bad. Any other ideas?
The RAM is pretty minimal in that machine, but it will run OS 9. In my experience eBay is problematic for OS purchases unless you know exactly what you are doing. Never buy "Restore" disks unless it is for your exact machine. (Keep OS X away from your iMac until you determine that it has the 4.1.9 firmware update!)
Apple Rescue, here, is one of the better places to get OS disks. OS 9.2.1 would be my recomendation.
Put a little more RAM in that iMac, and I think you'll find the Mac an enjoyable experience, and ... welcome to the "Apple Orchard" where there are no viruses, no spyware, and no blue screens of death.

Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited. -

Yes, that is true. The field borders are not drawn when there is no data for that field.
Here's a workaround though. Create this formula and use this formula field instead of the original database field on the report
if isnull({database_field}) or not({database_field} > 0) or not({database_field} = "") then
space(1) else totext({database_field})
You can then apply borders on this field and you'll see that the field draws the border when there is no value.
If the field that is in the Subreport, then it needs to be done in the Subreport, otherwise in the Main Report.

Need Help Determining Least Common Demoninator for Frame Rate, Codec, and Workflow
I need help determining the best timeline setting and Compressor workflow to integrate footage with varying frame rates and codecs that I'm currently upres'ing for a multi-camera concert performance destined for HD broadcast output. I'm assuming the network needs 29.97.
Thus far, I've been working with Apple ProRes Proxy files to create lo-res edits. Now, I've started the task of offlining and ingesting new, HD clips from the proxy references. The content originates from either Panasonic HVX200 or Panasonic GH1 cameras.
Looking at the material, it appears the cameras were not shooting with the same settings and, somehow, a PAL GH1 got into the mix. Some of the performances have the PAL GH1 and other do not.
Here's the breakdown of the varying sources. I got this info from the Log & Transfer columns.
HVX Cameras
Format: 1080p24
Source Format: DVCPRO HD 1080i60
Shooting Rate: 24
Vid Rate: 29.97
TC Format: Non-Drop
GH1 NTSC
Format: 1080i60
Source Format: AVCHD 1080i60
Shooting Rate: 30
Video Rate: 29.97
TC Format: Drop
GH1 PAL
Format: 1080i50
Source Format: AVCHD 1080i50
Shooting Rate: 25
Video Rate: 25
TC Format: Non-Drop
ANOTHER GH1 NTSC
Format: 1080p24
Source Format: AVCHD 1080p24
Shooting Rate: 24
Video Rate: 23.98
TC Format: Non-DropCall the TV station/network and get their spec sheet first. You need to know more than frame rate.
Once you have that, you can work backwards to arrive at a workflow.
As a general priniciple, you'll get a more seamless translation of format when you add frames rather than removing them. (eg 24p to 27.97 rather than 29.97 to 24p)
At least all the material starts out in the 1080 world.
Do all your conversions before you start editing. (I'd use ProRes or ProRes LT for the editing codec).
Budget a bunch of time to sync the material or figure out a quick cutting style that minimizes sync drift.
What a nightmare.

Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID? -

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
Your computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed but one of the steps to install/run Windows 8.1 is having updated drivers for Windows 8.1
Please, go to Control Panel -> System (or Start -> type winver and open) and verify what is your current version - if it is Windows 8 or 8.1
Windows 8 is version 6.2.x
Windows 8.1 is version 6.3.x
If Windows 8 in place, then , please read this article and enroll in the steps:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/pdf/instruct_update_win8.1_EN_tcm_245_1508074.pdf

Need help on which router to buy for my BB 8320
Now i know 8320 is dated but at this point i am not planning to change anytime soon .
So I have a router which is kinda old, it didnt really occur to me since it worked. When i got my bb 8320 i was in a hotel and i could connect through their wireless without any hassle. I could surf, use youtube, name it.
When i got home i couldnt do anything, i spent countless nights trying to figure out waht was wrong then i realized its my router. If only BB said somethign it wont support old routers then i wouldve saved myself hours of self-loathing.
Anyways I also have gone to my friends house, and i could connect to her linksys router without any hassle. i was the one who set her router up and we bought it this year. i didnt do anything special, configuration-wise or w/e.
So NOW i am just going to buy a new router. I really need help!!!!
I was wondering if this one is good:

Shoots mp4 H264 format files. Fits in a shirt pocket and records 2 hrs worth of material to an internal card. Charges from your USB port as you download. If you are just trimming clips, you can use QT Pro without conversion. If you need to edit, convert to ProRes 720p30. Works like a dream.
Just make sure you have it solidly placed when you pull the trigger as there is no image stabilization.
Oh, and it is only $199 US.

Re Aperture: I need to determine which photographs don't have and extension.
I cannot import my iPhoto Libray files to Aperture because some of them (hundreds) don't have an extension and therefore won't import. Is there a way to determine which files have a jpg or tif and which don't? I have 11,000 photographs and 1200 events.
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it? What does the Finder report the file as?
The reason I ask is that the issue may not be with the files, but with iPhoto's database.

Determining which PCA to use between new-GL and classic EC-PCA
I tried to use 1kek to transfer AR and AP from FI to PCA but failed with message saying "Document Splitting is Activated".
We are considering using PCA to make B/S and P/L of several business unit in a company. We are using SAP 6.0. After looking for the references, I understood that I can use new-GL or EC-PCA(classic PCA) for Profit Center Accounting. I wonder which way is the best and easiest one to achieve my company's object.
As I understood if I activate document splitting, it means I use new-GL for PCA, and I should use table FAGLFLEXA of FI instead of GLPCA of EC-PCA.
I'd like to use new-GL because it's "new" and convenient, hopefully. But I found several problems using new-GL to make financial reports.
The first problem was that I couldn't make allocation with accounts which cannot be manually input like AA accounts(Building, Machine, etc.), AR/AP or materials. When I operate transaction FAGLGA35, no effect occurs on those accounts.
And the second problem is that I couldn't find a way to make a report which has accounts list on its first column and profit center list on its first row. It's surely because I'm a newbie in SAP
I think everybody trying to use new_GL encounter this problem and it's wired because I couldn't find any thread about this.
And If I decide to use EC-PCA and make allocation on GLPCA, I think I should make some CBO to transfer AR/AP to EC-PCA. Is there any other possible solution?
I have a lot of things to ask but I'm not even sure what I know and don't.
Thanks for you guru's great help.The following notes will help you in understanding the set up of PCA in New GL with Classic PCA (EC-PCA): <b>OSS Norte no 826357</b>
You want to know
For release SAP ERP, the Profit Center Accounting was integrated into the new G/L accounting. The solution is as follows:
SAP delivers the 'Profit Center' and the 'Partner Profit Center' as fixed characteristics that are posted on the original FI postings. The data is not updated in another ledger as in the classic Profit Center Accounting.
As a result of integration of the Profit Center Accounting into the new G/L accounting, new functions such as 'Document Splitting' are available. Using the function 'Document Splitting' (online document split), you can create balance sheets for company codes as well as for other entities such as the profit center. The balance is then set to 0 for each document for the profit center.
Integrating the G/L accounting and the Profit Center Accounting into the one application also removes the time and effort needed to reconcile G/L accounting and PCA.
When implementing the new G/L accounting in Release SAP ERP, we recommend that all new customers map the Profit Center within the new G/L accounting by activating the scenario FIN_PCA (profit center update). It is not advisable to activate the classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel and consequently update parallel data volumes.
Detailed information about setting Profit Center Accounting in the New General Ledger:
Define the update of the characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Partner Profit Center' in the ledger by selecting the scenario 'Profit center update' (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Assign Scenarios and Customer-Defined Fields to Ledgers).
If you want to use the document splitting, you can define the field 'Profit center' as a splitting characteristic in the document splitting (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting). Set the 'Zero balance' indicator again for the added field 'Profit Center'. You can now create balance sheets on the profit center. You must also activate the Mandatory Field check to ensure that the profit center is set in all postings. If you want to display balance sheet items at profit center level (for example, receivables and payables) but you do not require complete balance sheets, we recommend that you do not set the indicator 'Zero balance' and 'Mandatory Field check'.
If you already used classic Profit Center Accounting as an SAP R/3 customer but you now want to use Profit Center Accounting in the new general ledger, you can continue to use classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel to the profit center update scenario in the new G/L accounting in the interim. However, we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required.
However, if the classic Profit Center Accounting continues to play a leading role for you, we recommend that you do not activate the document splitting in the new G/L accounting, and not for other entities such as the segment either. This is because the classic Profit Center Accounting uses certain functions of the classic general ledger that are no longer available with active document splitting (for example, transaction F.5D, Calculate Balance Sheet Adjustment).
See the following information for details about the differences between the function of PCA in new G/L accounting and in classic PCA and for details about the effects of new G/L accounting on the posting behavior in classic PCA. Even if mapped into new G/L accounting, PCA always occurs within a controlling area. SAP does not support cross-controlling area PCA. The derivation of profit center and partner profit center with the different business processes when you use the new G/L Accounting is identical to the classic Profit Center Accounting. Details about the differences are available in the following.
1. Set the proposal profit center for additional balance sheet and P&L accounts.
Release SAP ERP 2004:
Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: If you have to set a profit center on balance sheet and P&L accounts, make entries manually, use FI substitution or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Note that the system calls the BADI AC_DOCUMENT only for postings using the accounting interface (for example, MM and SD postings), but it is not called for FI postings.
Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI are available in the classic Profit Center Accounting for maintaining a proposal profit center for balance sheet accounts and P&L accounts. Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI also exist in SAP ERP2004 and function in the same way as in R/3: In other words, you can use the settings in transaction 3KEH to control the update in classic Profit Center Accounting, and the transactions set a proposal profit center where necessary. Keep in mind that the profit center information is therefore affected in new G/L accounting by settings in classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005:
Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI (from classic Profit Center Accounting) for maintaining proposal profit centers for balance sheet and P&L accounts are no longer used to set the profit center.
Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: If you have to set a profit center on balance sheet and P&L accounts, make entries manually, use FI substitution or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Note that the system calls the BADI AC_DOCUMENT only for postings using the accounting interface (for example, MM and SD postings), but it is not called for FI postings. In addition, the new transaction FAGL3KEH and the BAdI FAGL_3KEH_DEFPRCTR are available for maintaining proposal profit centers. You can use these new functions to determine a proposal profit center depending on the company code and the account. Note that this proposal profit center does not appear on the input screen; it is derived only when you post the document. The proposal profit center is used if the line item does not contain a CO account assignment and if the profit center was not already determined elsewhere.
Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic Profit Center Accounting are active: The entries of transaction 3KEH control ONLY the transfer of line items to classic Profit Center Accounting. Transaction 3KEI is no longer relevant. To set the profit center, use the options which are available in the new G/L accounting (make entries manually, use FI substitution, or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT).
2. Derivation of the partner profit center
Release SAP ERP 2004:
Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: Transactions 8KER/8KES are no longer available. Notes 997925 and 1087350 provide the functions from transaction OCCL. Alternatively, you can use the BAdI AC_DOCUMENT to set the partner profit center.
Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 8KER/8KES and OCCL (reading purchase order/sales order for affiliated companies) are active. However, we recommend that you no longer use transaction 8KER or 8KES. Partner profit centers derived using these transactions are available in both classic Profit Center Accounting and in New General Ledger Accounting only if the line is relevant in classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005:
Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: Transactions 8KER/8KES are no longer available. Notes 997925 and 1087350 provide the functions from transaction OCCL. Alternatively, you can use the BAdI AC_DOCUMENT or the new BAdI FAGL_DEFPPRCTR (enhancement spot FAGL_LEDGER_CUST_DEFPRCTR) with the method SET_DEFAULT_PART_PRCTR to set the partner profit center.
Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 8KER/8KES and OCCL are active. However, we recommend that you no longer use transaction 8KER or 8KES because partner profit centers derived using these transactions are available in both classic Profit Center Accounting and in New General Ledger Accounting only if the line is relevant in classic Profit Center Accounting. Instead, if required, you should use the BAdI FAGL_DEFPPRCTR to set the partner profit center. A partner profit center determined in this way is always updated both in new G/L accounting and in classic Profit Center Accounting.
3. Displaying receivables and payables for each profit center
Document splitting is active
The detailed information from the general ledger view about receivables and payables split online from the document splitting is NOT available for classic Profit Center Accounting. In this case, you CANNOT split receivables/payables nor follow-up costs subsequently (Transaction F.5D - report SAPF180A, Transaction F.50 - report SAPF181, Transaction F.05 - report SAPF100). This means that you CANNOT use transaction 1KEK to transfer receivables and payables to classic Profit Center Accounting. Follow-up costs split according to source can be transferred online to the classic Profit Center Accounting because these are already available in the data entry view.
Read the documentation of the document splitting carefully. Analyze in which cases you have to set default account assignments because the document splitting is sometimes prevented by default account assignments.
Document splitting is not active
In this case, you CANNOT display the receivables and payables according to source at profit center level within the new G/L accounting. However, you can use the old split of the receivables and payables within the classic Profit Center Accounting (transaction F.5D) as well as of the follow-up costs (transaction F.50), and you can use the periodic transfer of receivables and payables using transaction 1KEK. However, you can execute the new report for the foreign currency valuation of the open items (report FAGL_FC_VALUATION) with depreciation areas only, which means that the documents are no longer updated (valuation difference not updated in BSEG-BDIFF). As a result, transaction 1KEK copies only the original receivables/payables, independently of transaction 2KEM 'Account Valuation Differences'; in other words, the original data is not corrected by the valuation differences.
You can use the standard report groups 8A98 and 8A99 to display the open receivables and payables in classic Profit Center Accounting.
4. Periodic transfers of asset portfolios to classic Profit Center Accounting
As of Release 4. 7, it is possible to map a parallel reporting mapped in FI (for example, parallel accounts) for parallel depreciation areas in Asset Accounting by using particular settings (defining an accounting principle). You must stop the execution of transaction 1KEI because it would result in duplicated data in PCA because of postings to the same accounts. You must also stop transaction 1KEI with a 'different company code' or a 'different depreciation area in the different company code' because the data cannot be transferred correctly. Transaction 1KEI terminates with the error message KM 764. As of Release SAP ERP, if the new general ledger accounting is active, the system issues the message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST 076.
5. Dummy profit center on P&L accounts
You use transactions 3KEH and 3KEI to firstly try to determine a proposal profit center in classic Profit Center Accounting for document line items with a P&L account (no cost element) and without a profit center account assignment. If the system does not find a proposal profit center, the dummy profit center is set for some activities (primarily from Logistics). If the new G/L accounting is active AND if at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' is used in the document splitting, the routine for setting the dummy profit center will no longer run (see Note 820121 and 832776). Otherwise the document splitting would not split a document, or not split it correctly. The system must then find the profit center that is valid for the process using the document splitting or another derivation. If this is not the case, the document line item will not be updated in the classic Profit Center (document line items with Profit Center initial are not allowed in the classic Profit Center Accounting).
6. PCA additional rows
If you map Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting in SAP ERP, you can use consulting note 937872 to update PCA additional lines recognized from classic Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting.
If you use the transfer price functions, you do not require Note 937872 because the structure of the PCA additional lines are technically "true" and are automatically posted in new General Ledger Accounting when maintained in transaction 0KEK.
7. Substitution of profit centers in sales orders
Transactions 0KEL and 0KEM are available both in the classic Profit Center Accounting and in the new G/L accounting (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Tools -> Validation/Substitution)
8. Reporting
Line item reporting within the new G/L accounting
Release SAP ERP 2004: Even if document splitting is set with the characteristic Profit Center, only one restricted line item reporting to profit centers is available in this release at present. When you use the G/L account line item list of FI, you can limit profit centers for line item settlement G/L accounts that are not relevant for the document splitting. As of Support Package 10, line item reporting to profit centers and segments is available.
Release SAP ERP 2005: Line item reporting according to profit centers and segments is available.
Ledger reporting within the new G/L accounting
Release SAP ERP 2004: Even if the document splitting is set with the characteristic profit center or segment, no current account reporting to profit centers and segments is available up to Support Package 10. With Support Package 10, current account reporting according to profit centers and segments is available. Also see the detailed explanations for Release SAP ERP 2005.
Release SAP ERP 2005: Current account reporting according to profit centers and segments is available. It replaces the standard report groups 8A98/8A99 in earlier releases. However, the difference is that the foreign currency valuation correction is no longer displayed for each item because no update of the valuation in items occurs through the foreign currency valuation in the new general ledger (no BDIFF/BDIFF2 update). It is a key date-related valuation (mostly for the period end).
9. Transfer prices
The transfer price functions (multiple valuations) are available for new General Ledger Accounting as of SAP ERP 2005. For SAP ERP 2004, see the release restrictions in Note 741821. In SAP ERP 2004, you can use the transfer price functions or multiple valuation functions only if you have activated the classic General Ledger and classic Profit Center Accounting.
10. Creating the profit center standard hierarchy
Release SAP ERP 2004: You must create the highest node of the standard hierarchy in the Customizing of the classic Profit Center Accounting (transaction 0KE5), even if you are not using classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005: To create the highest node of the standard hierarchy, use transaction SM30 with the maintenance view V_FAGL_PC_STHR.
11. Creating the dummy profit center
Classic Profit Center Accounting is active (regardless of whether classic G/L accounting or new G/L accounting is active):
If the classic Profit Center Accounting is active, you must create a dummy profit center to avoid postings with an initial profit center in the database tables of the classic PCA.
If the new G/L accounting is also active AND if you are using at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' in the document splitting, you have to ensure in Release SAP ERP 2004 that Notes 820121 and 832776 are included. In Release SAP ERP 2005, the changed posting logic is included from the beginning. Note that the update of document line items in classic Profit Center Accounting is omitted because of this.
Classic Profit Center Accounting is not active, New G/L Accounting is active and you are using at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' in the document splitting:
You do not have to create and use a dummy profit center. Using the dummy profit center can cause situations you want to avoid: For example, the system splits receivables/payables to the dummy profit center because of the document splitting (you cannot transfer them manually), or a document line item with dummy profit center account assignment is not split by the document splitting. To ensure that a profit center is assigned in all rows, set the profit center as mandatory field in the Customizing of the document splitting. However, note that this can also lead to terminations while posting, if a profit center assignment is missing.
12. Compare G/L Accounts in FI with Profit Center Accounting (Transaction KE5T)
In classic Profit Center Accounting, transaction KE5T is used to compare account balances. In this transaction, the ledgers to be compare are fixed. If you use Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting, use the general transaction GCAC. You can enter any base ledger and any comparison ledger. -
Need help estimating processing power required to support new process
Hi,
I am putting up a new server spec for a new project. I need help estimating processor power I need.
Here are, in short, the steps of the main process:
- Load the data:
Incoming file contains 160 mln rows. The SIZE of this file is 250 GB. The file has about 60 columns, out of that I upload 50 into my table.
Record length is 1500 bytes, in the table.
- Validation/calculations:
After the upload I validate EACH row in this table against 20 rules that are defined in the RULES table.
It is all math, like this column plus that column must be equal to this number, and validate the third column against this number.
- Output stage:
Records that pass validation go to one table, those that didn't go to the other table.
Then the first table (with good records) is extracted to a file. Those from the "wrong" table are also get inserted into "review" table
This whole process should take about 5-6 hrs.
This file contains 6 month of data.
Some times, I will run validation against 2 year worth of data, means validate two "annual" tables, each one is 500 GB in size. According to the requirements, this process should take no more than 1 day.
For this process I write hardware spec for a new server.
I have a hard time figuring out how much processor power I need for this process? to validate this much data in that much time.
Is there any formula or a guideline to tell what processor I need? I was looking at this one, but I wish I could estimate before I buy and try (and possibly fail, and have a biiiiig problems)
Intel Xeon E5-2640 (6 core, 2.50 GHz, 15MB, 95W)
Number of processors: 2
RAM: 16GB
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks in advance
