Next Steps Suggestions

I recently applied for 3 cards, AMEX PRG, Chase Freedom & Capital One Venture. I was approved for all 3 in a span of 1-2 days. I would like opinions regarding what to do next to boost my FICO scores: Pre App FICO Scores:1. Experian: 712, 1 inq.2. Transunion: 726, 0 inq.3. Equifax: 731, 0 inq. All scores in Pre App above reflect 1 secured BOA, 1 30-day late 6yrs old Post App FICO Scores1. Experian: 676, 4 inq 2. Transunion: 726, 2 inq,3. Equifax: 731, 1 inq All scores in Post App above reflect 1 secured BOA, 1 30-day late 6yrs old. They do not reflect new AMEX, Chase & Cap 1 as of yet. I assume they will appear in the next few weeks. As you can see, my Experian took the biggest hit. I had 3 inq hit in addition to 2 very old positive installment loans fell off my credit reports during the same week of the inqs. Interesting how Eq & Trans were not affected at all. Doesn't really make sense and fair. I could understand if the old credit information was no longer being used to calculate FICO scores. Evidently, they still are considering the steep drop in my Experian. Unless the 3 additional inqs caused it. I really don't know. Questions:A. Will my FICO scores increase when the AMEX, Chase & Cap 1 hit the CRA'S? B. What are my next steps to increase my FICO score to high 700's to low 800's? Keep util under 10% etc etc? On time payments? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers,Mohawk

TS1389 I've purchased an album through the itunes store and every track plays except one which continually asks me to authorise my computer. I've tried all the steps suggested above but still no joy. Anyone have any ideas what i can do next? Thanks Pa

Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac, MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
EX: left"
Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)
Enjoy!

What is the next step after ABAP ? Need resources for SAP structure

Hello,
I have learned ABAP and now it is time to use it to write SAP programs. But what is the next step?
From where can I get information about SAP tables to proceed?
I have 2 ABAP books but they only provide the syntax for ABAP. After learning that, I am finding trouble in knowing on which objects/tables to apply it on.
For example, I want to know that when I use the CV01n to create a file, what happens in terms of internal SAP tables?
If I select multiple files in the search result "CV04N" which table should I access to get these selected files?
Basically does anyone know where I can find such resources in order to understand how to proceed in developing SAP application ?
Regards.

Hi HASSAN,
For Learning the Business part of ABAP, (That is what is missing for you i.e the tables and their relations), i would suggest you to take one module at a time.
Like MM(Material management) or SD(Sales and distribution) etc.
Refer this link to know the business part of the SAP:

Iphoto 9.4.2 quitting when pressing info - next steps?

After uploading a batch of new photos, I pressed the info button for one of the photos and iphoto quit unexpectedly. I have 25,000 photos in my iphoto library.
I tried the following:
1) Repairing permission and database using the 'first aid' function.
After trying this, the problem was worse ie iphoto now quitting - a second or two after opening.
2) Created a second iphoto library - that worked fine using iphoto.
3) Opening my photos Aperture. Also worked fine.
4) Rebuilding the library using the 'first aid' function - this improved the situation. iphoto no longer quits on opening BUT it is still quitting when I press the info button - so back to square 1!
Ideally I would like to merge my iphoto library with my Aperture library - but don't want to make matters worse by merging a dodgy library with a good one. I would rather repair the iphoto library first if possible.
I have backed up onto an external drive.
Any suggestions for next steps would be appreciated.
Thanks
iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How to send the output of one step as input to next step

Hello All,
I have a question that how to send the output of the first step as the input to the next step.
for e.g
consider a test sequence as below,
1.battery ON.
2. read Voltage
3. Check battery voltage.
as initially the battery gets ON when ever the test starts. in the second step it reads the voltage. let us assume that the voltage is 11.5V,
in the third step we r checking/validating that battery voltage in the range 11V to 12 V. . I mean if the vloltage value is less than 11V or greater than 12V te test has to FAIL.
so in order to check that voltage we need to send the voltage read from the second step.
so how can I send the voltage read from the second step to the third step so that I can check the battery voltage test.
kindly suggest me this using LabVIEW/Test stand.

Hi,
Why do you need the third step, if the second step is a Numeric Limit Test step type, you can setup the limits of this step for your required limits of 11V and 12V. Your result is returned from your VI to Step.Results.Numeric which will be evaluated in the Status Expression giving you a Pass / Fail status.
Look at the example TestStand\examples\demo\..\Computer Motherboard Test\computer.seq
But to answer your reoriginal question, some additional information is required.
What are your inputs and outputs assigned to in TestStand, do you use the Step properties, Locals, FileGlobals?

HT5622 while updating, after submission of rescue email next button is not taking next step. what should I do?

while updating, after submission of rescue email next button is not taking next step. what should I do?

Not to come across as rude, but no one has any suggestions because the post is very long with lots of detail - and it is not a technical question.
What should you do? Call the store, call AppleCare, call Apple Customer Relations, but no one here could possibly do anything to spur on either the Apple Store or Best Buy.

Automator - timer or countdown to next step/action

I am trying to write an automator action that gives a warning and then counts down to the next action.
This is to link in with an action I have written to automatically close and back-up my Bento database.
What I am looking for is an action in case I forget to activate that action before I quit working in the evening. The action I am looking for should pop up a message and say e.g. 'Bento will close in xxx seconds' and if no button is pressed to cancel, it will then go to the next step and close Bento.
Any suggestions?

The standard Wait for User Action action goes the other way (it stops the workflow), so there isn't anything handy that has a built-in counter. You can fake one with a Run AppleScript action though, by popping up dialogs with short timeouts, for example:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters} -- countdown dialog
set WaitTime to 10 -- this is the overall time to wait
set Interval to 1 -- this is the interval between dialogs
repeat with Timer from WaitTime to 1 by -Interval
if Timer ≤ Interval then set Interval to Timer
set DialogResult to display dialog return & "Bento will close in " & Timer & ¬
" seconds..." buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button "OK" giving up after Interval
if (button returned of DialogResult) is "OK" then exit repeat
end repeat
return input
end run
</pre>

Suspect dead power supply -- next steps, recommendations?

Hi all!
Our 17" iMac won't power on and I suspect it's the power supply (I tried different outlets and power cords). What should my next steps be? For example, while browsing I saw mention of LED indicators inside the unit. Is that the next logical step?
I don't necessarily want to continue using the iMac since I have a much newer MacBook Pro that I can use instead. However, I would like to get all my iTunes files off the iMac (I have a backup that's two months old, but I've purchased a lot of music/apps/videos since then). So if it's easier/cheaper, I'd be open to suggestions other than fixing the iMac. For example, can I pull the hard drive from the iMac and get some sort of external enclosure so that I can plug it into my MacBook Pro to copy the files off? If so, what sort of enclosure would I need for the iMac's hard drive (links?)
Thanks so much in advance!

Good old Apple forums. My iMac wouldn't start up and the first post on the list this past Thursday was this thread!
The machine had powered itself down twice and the last time I couldn't start it up. I did do a backup the night before.
I did the LED test all the way thru. Nice to learn that one. After #12 indicated my logic board needed to be replaced, I made a Genius appointment for two days later. There, Andrew at the Walnut Creek, CA store opened up the machine, saw that the condensers were fine and sent the machine upstairs for a new power supply. He said that sometimes the LED test will indicate the logic board, but most of the time it's the power supply. $85 each for the part and labor = $170. Much cheaper than the alternative.
Now that was one of my better Apple Store experiences.

Bonjour VAGRAI
1) To write math expressions in a text :
     — Microsoft Office 2011 etc. for Mac use its included Equation Editor.
     — OpenOffice.org (OOo) and NeoOffice : download free Dmath 3.3.
     — iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), download free MathType 6.7, fully functional for 30 days, then becomes « Lite » for life as good as the Microsoft equation editor ; it’s better than using Grapher’s equation editor (Applications > Utilities) because MathType can be called from Pages and allows editing equations by clicking the math expressions your text (details on MathType website) .
     — Graph.app 2.3 in Mountain Lion is built to draw curves and surfaces from equations, so it uses an equation editor less powerful than mathType, but it’s easier typing expressions. You may get 2D 3D geometrical drawings from clever equations. Suggest a glance at   http://y.barois.free.fr/grapher/ to know all about Grapher (83 pages Instructions for Use - Grapher) and some examples
2) Geometrical schema :
     — GeoGebra is very popular and used by math teachers.
     — Google SketchUp 8 was not built for mathematics but for architecture, but it’s very easy using it to draw 2D 3D surfaces and solid figures.
     — ShapeOnYou.app allows simples geometrical figures http://pierre.chachatelier.fr/programmation/shapeonyou_en.php
3) Some useful websites for screen shots of geometrical schema :
     http://www.mathcurve.com/
     http://perso.orange.fr/roger.assouly/
Drawings files PDF, TIFF, JPG … can be inserted in an iWork window (Pages).
I hate LaTex : not necessary to write math books !
Au revoir VAGRAI,
YB24
Attachment : lines and curves were made with Google SketchUp 8, screen copied (Command-Shift-4), inserted on a Pages sheet to add letters figures rectangles title.
SketchUp allows drawing precisely an arc of circle 325 mm radius 22,5° angle for instance.

Issues with MacBook hard drive - next steps to take?

Hello,
I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro that I purchased in early 2010 which came with Snow Leopard, later upgraded to Mountain Lion. The other day my machine completely froze up during run-of-the-mill web browsing. When I tried to manually restart, I got stuck on the gray Apple screen with the rotating circle for over an hour. I haven't been able to boot regularly since. I tried resetting the PRAM - nothing.
I tried booting to the Recovery drive, which worked at first, but when I would run Disk Utility, the Macintosh HD drive would suddenly randomly disappear from the Disk Utility sidebar during Verify or Repair operations, and then the system would just hang/freeze. Now I can't boot into Recovery at all - it just hangs on the gray Apple screen. I tried booting from a Snow Leopard install DVD and Disk Utility does the same thing - recognizes Mac HD at first, but it disappears from Disk Utility when I try to do anything.
I tried using a Diskwarrior DVD, and Diskwarrior does not recognize the hard drive at all - it only sees the Diskwarrior DVD.
When I boot into single user mode and run fsck -yf it says everything is OK. If I press Option while booting both Mac HD and Recovery show up, but I can't get into either anymore.
I opened up my laptop to make sure everything looked okay, and aside from a little dust, the HD cable seemed secure and connected.
I have some stuff on my HD that isn't backed up that I would like to be able to recover. So what would the next step be? I'm not sure if this is a failed HD issue or a failed cable issue. Should I buy an enclosure for my HD and see if I can get it going externally? Would that be the best way to see if it is the drive and not the cable? An enclosure is cheaper than buying a new SATA cable, so I'm hoping that's where I can start.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes. See if the HDD will boot the MBP via a USB connection. You should probably have an external HDD for backups or a possible replacement of your boot drive.
Ciao.
