NYT Article:Sending an S O S for a PC Exorcist

hey there all,
i read this article in the New York Times & just had to share the comment of John C. Dvorak, of PC Magazine. the writer's new Dell quit after 72 hours.... it took one week, 3 techs & $800.00 to fix his issues. that's nuts!! but i LOL'd @ John's comment below.
+I called John C. Dvorak, a prominent columnist for PC Magazine and a podcaster on the Podshow network. “I advise everybody to buy a Macintosh because Apple products are the easiest to use,” he said. “If you own a PC, you have to find a local nerd, a kid, maybe a relative. Every family has one unless they’ve just moved here from a foreign country. That’s the only solution.”+
read complete article.

Hey that's not so bad, they've fixed it.
Apple has been aware of the missing character issue for over a year by now
and f(BEEEP) all has happened.

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cannot send a null Map key for type 'java.util.HashMap'

I am haing an issue with sending data from Server to the client using the AMF Channel.

The Spring bean which is exposed as a Remote Object has the following method signature..
[CODE]
public String getMapKey() {
        return mapKey;
[/CODE]
I am unable to understand why AMF Channel or Blaze DS is treating the String as HashMap !!!
This was working pefectly fine till yesterday !!
The version of the BlazeDS i am using is : blazeds_turnkey_3-0-0-544
and the Flex SDK Version is : flex_sdk_3.5.0.12683
We recently upgraded to Flex 3.5.0 version earlier we were using 3.3 version
Thanks

Hi All,
I chcked my server side java beans ( which are managed by Spring) and they are all returning the data property and none of the Keys in the returned hashmaps are null.
Not sure why this is happening.
Thanks

Safari seems not sending If-Modified-Since header for main address

Not sure I'm in the appropriate forum but let's try (if there is more appropriate one please advise).
When Safari requests a resource (page, image...) to a web server it doesn't provide If-Modified-Since header for the main resource of the request. That means the web server can't answer "resource not modified, use your cache". This is not the behavior of other browsers and not good in terms of performance for the web server as well as for the user.
However Safari sends this If-Modified-Since for the sub-elements of the resource (e.g. images, css in a page...). Which is good.
Is there a way to influence Safari's behavior to provide a If-Modified-Since for the main resource requested to the server?
acama,

Found out the answer. IIS 6 does in fact steal "If-Modified-Since" and "If-None-Match" headers, but only on custom 404 redirects. That's actually what I'm doing here (that'll teach me not to put details in a question when I think they're irrelevant -- actually I just forgot).
Here's two discussions on the issue (they're using ASP, but apparently it's the same for ColdFusion):

Intermittent send failures in Outlook 2011 for MAC

Ever since Verizon changed its POP server settings, I am getting intermittent send failures from MS Outlook for MAC 2011 even though I made the correct port changes and SSL options in Outlook 2011. Everywhere I look for assistance, including Microsoft, Apple and Verizon, no one has found anything wrong other than Microsoft suspects that Verizon's server doesn't like too many logins and passwords in a set period of time. Apparently, every email that is sent, sends a User Name and Password to Verizon's server. MS suspects that the server doesn't like that and rejects messages within a certain time period. Furthermore, I cannot find any Verizon support for Outlook 2011 for the MAC! Once again this is "intermittent" such as 4 messages will go and then the 5th will not. If I leave it in the outbox, it will eventually send. I'm not sure that MS's theory is fully correct because sometimes I get the send failures on the first message sent. The error message says, "Outlook cannot find the server etc." "Error Code: 3170". All incoming messages come into Outlook 2011 correctly. Does Verizon support Outlook 2011 for the MAC?
Solved!

Re: Consistent alerts error 3170...and my settings are correct! HELP!

I had the same issue. After talking to a Verizon FIOS technician from thier techinical support center, he said that no changes are needed for Outlook for Mac. That means the settings should be:
Incoming server: incoming.verizon.net
Incoming port: 110
Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED
Outgoing server: outgoing.verizon.net
Outgoing port: 25
Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED
Hope that helps others not waste an hour searching Verizon's website and trying to navigate their massive phone tree to actually speak to a technician.

Need to send external email with attachment for workflow 20000075

Hello Everyone,
I am new to W/F, I Need to send external email with attachment for PO Release W/F 20000075. Currently Work item is being sent to SAP inbox of required user based on PO Release strategy configuration in SPRO. I tried to create Send mail step after PO release event but I am not sure how to arrive at Recipient type in send mail step(the mail should be sent to person in the release strategy). Everything looks fine all I need to do is to send external email with attachment instead of sending work item into SAP inbox.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can use extended notifications to send an e-mail message with a link to the workitem. Search for extended notifications in SDN.

Martin

When I try to send an attachment using Word for MAC people have a hard time opening it with a PC. Can I do anything different?

shldr2thewheel already sent a teach-yourself way. Perhaps you could be more specific: any .doc file written in Mac OS is opened with difficulty? what version of Office on mac and what version in windows? any format, e.g. .doc or .rtf? Even a simple rtext of, say, 2-3 pages? or only long docs, e.g. 100 pages or more? what language is used? English or any other West European, Latin based text, or other scripts too? What do you understand by ‘people have a hard time opening it with a PC?’ takes a very long time? or does not open at all? etc. etc.

Check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be...

When trying to complete the tutorial for indesign I get the following error when trying to add an article to my folio:
"An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found."
I am able to create the folio then I click into articles. My document "WiFi_v.indd" is open when clicking add article, but I keep getting this error message.
I am using the following versions of the software (Should be the latest).
- Folio Builder (Downloaded version Version 1.1.8.0)
reported version:
11.4.3.20111129_m672305 7.5.5.17
Adobe In Design 7.5.2 CS 5.5
Also tried reinstalling the plugins (uninstall + install)

If you're on Mac OS with the OS in another language than english the "User" folder might contain a non english character and causing problems.
I e in Sweden the Mac OS user-folder is called "Användare". When attempting uploading articles from a file locaded anywere this "Användare" is in the file path the Folio producer says Error finding InDesign layout, due to -what i think is-the "ä" in Användare. If you still want to work local you can place the InDesign files directly into the Macintosh HD. In this case the User folder is not used.
