Observed differences in Reply All between Mail, Entourage and Thunderbird

All three apps (Apple Mail, Entourage and Thunderbird) run on a standard user account with more or less the same 9 email addresses (IMAP).
Sending from one email address to the other 8 then choosing Reply All in each of the three applications returns the following behaviour on this computer:
Entourage
Reply All returns a message form with all addresses in To field.
Thunderbird
Reply All returns a message form with one address in To field and the remaining 7 addresses in CC field.
Apple Mail
Reply All returns a message form with one address only - the other 7 addresses appear to be discarded (in effect runs as Reply rather than Reply All)
So I suppose the question must be: have I mucked up this OS on this computer?

Trying the same workflow on iPhone with the same message using Reply All gives a message form with one address in To field and 7 addresses in CC field (similar to what is observed with Thunderbird earlier on)

What difference on ABAP language between 2004 version and before version

Hi everyone,
Does there exist difference about ABAP language between 2004 version and before version? If it does, what's that? For example, what's new keywords? Which old key words can't be applied on 2004 platform any more?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Julian

How to remove own email when replying all in mail

When I hit Reply All in the Mail app, it automatically puts my own email in CC. How can I stop this?

paulcb wrote:
As expected, when I "Reply All" to emails sent to me, I'm not included in the CC. I assume this is the scenario that the OP is referencing, except that he's included in the CC. Perhaps he can explain in more detail.
When I reply all, I AM included, but it disappears if I tap the CC/BCC field.

Can receive, send new and forward but cannot reply or reply all in mail all

I'm using Tiger 10.4.11 and am suddenly experiencing a problem with Mail. I can receive emails and send new but cannot reply or reply all. When I click either the reply or reply all button, nothing happens, not even the spinning ball of death. Have tried the dropdown menu and the keyboard shortcut but same issue.
Anyone else experienced the same problem or know how to fix this please?

Ms. Gibbs, welcome to the discussion groups!
Mail accesses Address Book to make sense of addresses, etc., whether or not you have anything in Address Book. When you start Address Book, are there any problems?
Another thing to try after that, is kind of a "standard Mail fix to try": rebuild the Envelope Index.
To do this, quit Mail. Then in Finder, find ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index and move it to Trash. (~ is your Home Directory.) Then start up Mail. It will say something about importing mail... it is just rebuilding the Envelope Index file.

Please explain the difference, data file wise, between an album and folder

First day with iPhoto. I've just finished reading most of the help files. However, I'm still confused between the differences of an album and a folder.
Specifically; I see the iPhoto Library data tree in Finder. I get that iPhoto imports pictures to the Library. But we take pictures randomly. There's a 100% certaintly that after I import the most recent images, they'll all need to be individually moved to an appropriate sub-category area. I'll make all the areas (House, Family & Friends, Skiing ,etc..).
What I don't want to have happen is to duplicate actual photo images. I'd like to move them out of the library and into their permanent home. Otherwise, the library will turn into a 3,000 photo mish mash of pictures and be unusable.
So.. do I create my new areas as albums, or as folders? My hunch is folders. Then again, it's also possible that I'm not fully understanding the libraries functions.
Many thanks
- Rowan

HI Rowan,
iPhoto imports each of your camera imports or folder imports as a roll within iPhoto (set your view to View>film rolls to see them) and the Finder (under Originals/Year/roll name)
The organization within iPhoto of making albums and folders to put albums and other folders in, is only seen within iPhoto as they are actually info contained in data files. You will not see the folders and albums or even books, slideshows, calendars, etc in the finder. all the info for those is contained in data files.
The library contains all the images you have imported.
When you make Albums containing the images, you are not duplicating those images. the albums actually just reference the images that are in it.
therefor if you delete photos from an album, they will still be in your library.
If you delete photos from the library and then empty iPhoto's trash, you are deleting them from iPhoto and your hard drive.
Folders are used to organize even further within iPhoto.
Folders cannot contain loose images. You have to put images in an album first, then you can put albums in a folder.
You can also put slideshows and books etc into a folder. You can also put a folder into another folder.
There are different ways to view your iPhoto Library within iPhoto.
You can view by date, film rolls, keywords, ratings. Go to View in the menu bar and click on it and scroll to your choice.
I personally view by film rolls (imports) and keep the film rolls closed (option click on the disclosure triangle of an open roll to close all rolls)
So now I will offer you more info just in case you might need it:
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.

Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.

2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.
Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
Go to File>new album from selection.
You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
One other way you can import a folder of images and have an Album created for it as the same time it is imported as a roll in the Library view:
Drag each folder of images into the source column of iPhoto. When you see the plus sign, drop it in the source column.
An album will be created in the source column, and the roll that the album was created from will be in the library view window.
Hope this helps!

Have lost all my mail folders on Thunderbird, how do i get them back?

I lost my second search window for Thunderbird Mail so went to VIEW, TOOLBARS and selected all three options - MAIL, STATUS and QUICK FILTER. I got my search window back that enables me to search my emails for messages from a specific person. However, I then lost all of my folders (mailboxes) in my inbox - everything from A to Z bar two folders titled ALFIE and APPLE MAC EMAILS.
These folders contain everything email like from my clients that is relevant to my business. Each folder is a client name and each contains any number of emails and replies.
I clicked the REPAIR FOLDER option in order to try and do exactly that, repair the folders but so far that only appears to have been applied to the emails in my inbox, the ones that have not yet been filed in the individual folders.
I moved to Thunderbird because I was told it was a safe and easy to use system but I am struggling with this aspect of it.
Any help gratefully received!

No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared.

Sync'ing "Sent"-box between Mail.app and e-mail sent using the web-app (2)

Hi,
A while ago, I posted this question, and Allan Sampson provided the answer, how to do it quickly and efficiently (see below).
However, that method turns out to have a flaw:
Here's what I just posted to Apple's sofware feedback:
========
During the week, I connect to the internet from behind a firewall that prevents IMAP usage. I therefore use the webmail access to my @mac.com account. Once I am connected from a more liberal network, I let Mail.app sync with the @mac.com account, and transfer the "sent" messages from the server (the "Sent Messages" sub-folder at the bottom of the left-hand side folder listing in Mail.app) into the "Sent" (paper glider looking) folder, to be stored locally. I store about 7 year's worth of e-mail and use it as database.
Unfortunately, when so transfering the sent messages from the @mac.com server into the local "Sent" folder, the "Date Sent" inexplicably changes to the date of transfer, and the original date of sending is obliterated!!! This should not happen, and I cannot but consider it a bug in Mail.app.
Please fix this ASAP!
========
In the meanwhile, does anyone know of a workaroud, other than forwarding those "sent" messages to myself, whereby the original header with the original "date sent" would be retained?
Thanks, Tristan

Tristan, we’re getting nowhere. For some reason that escapes me, you keep ignoring, misreading and/or misunderstanding what I’m saying...
At this point, I can only guess that you don’t really know what I’m referring to when I talk about message headers. The message headers are not the same as the column headers that Mail displays in the message list. The message headers is what Mail shows above the message body when viewing a message. You can choose the amount of header information that Mail shows there by default in Preferences > Viewing > Show header detail, and you can tell Mail to show all the headers while viewing a message by doing View > Message > Long Headers.
There is no such thing as Date Sent or Date Received message headers. The date & time that Mail shows in the Date Sent column is the date & time that appears in the Date message header and is set by the sender’s mail client. The date & time that Mail shows in the Date Received column is the date & time that appears in the latest (topmost) Received message header and is set by the recipient’s incoming mail server.
If the message headers that Mail uses to determine the date & time that it should display in the Date Sent and Date Received columns are missing, Mail cannot reliably show the right date & time there, but it may still try to do so by looking somewhere else, such as the Internal Date message attribute if the message is stored on an IMAP server. Problem is, contrary to what happens with the message headers I’ve mentioned, the Internal Date is an IMAP attribute that isn’t part of the message itself, and hence, is lost as soon as the message is moved out of the server...
Before the transfer:
<http://homepage.mac.com/thubsch/eMailTransfer0.gif>
What you’re showing here is Date Received, not Date Sent, but I could say the same I’ve said about Date Sent in previous posts, except in this case Mail gets the date & time to be displayed there from the latest (topmost) Received message header. The thing is, that header is set by the recipient’s incoming mail server, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see it either by doing View > Message > Long Headers while viewing a sent message...
Again, if that message header is not present, Mail will have to get the date & time to be displayed in the Date Received column from somewhere else. In particular, if the message is stored on an IMAP server, as is the case here, it can determine that date & time by querying the IMAP server for the Internal Date message attribute, just like it can for the Date Sent column when there is no Date message header.
BTW, note that Date Received is meaningless for sent messages (Mail has absolutely no idea when the messages were received, not even whether they were actually received), but since those messages would normally have no Received message header, Mail would actually display the right sent date & time in Date Received for sent messages if the Date message header was present.
However, I wish to store those messages on my machine locally. In answer
to my earlier question (for which you cited the URL), the really simple
procedure was recommended, to select all messages from "SentMessages"
and press-and-drag them into the "Sent" folder. When I do that, the "Date
Sent" for all those messages becomes the date & time of transfer:
<http://homepage.mac.com/thubsch/eMailTransfer1.gif>
And again, when you do that, Mail can no longer query the IMAP server for the Internal Date message attribute. Since the message headers that you keep ignoring and that Mail needs in order to be able to show the right date & time in the Date Sent and Date Received columns aren’t there either, Mail simply has absolutely no way of knowing what date & time should it display there other than by looking at the creation date of the *.emlx files associated with those messages...
Now, you are welcome to write a dissertation on how come this happens and
why this is not a bug in "Mail.app". However, you are missing the boat:
Interestingly enough, I’ve already explained multiple times why that happens and why this is not Mail’s fault. The culprit here is the mail client used to send those messages, which fails to set the Date message header that Mail (or any other mail client, for that matter) needs in order to be able to determine what the Date Sent is supposed to be.
It’s you who keeps missing the boat and ignoring, misreading and/or misunderstanding everything I’m saying...

Difference in file size between EM Export and Export using cmd.....

Hi ,
I use the following command in a command prompt to export a schema....
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\database10g\BIN\exp.exe system/*****@local FILE=C:\FILES.DMP ROWS=Y OWNER=USER_DB LOG=C:\TEST.LOG
which produces a file around 900KB.
When i exported on the same database , the same dataschema , both the data and the db objects ... using the EM the file produced was around 4000KB.....
Why is this difference.....????
I noticed in the log file of the exported file using EM some additional info... such as :
'estimated USER_DB.TABLE_NAME 64KB'
Can this info justify the difference in file size between the two methods..????
Note: I use OraDb 10g v.2
thanks a lot
Simon

The export done from EM is from Data Pump export.
The manual export you did is original export.
Try do a manual data pump export using expdp and compare the size.

Difference in Resolution/Retina between Macbook Air and PRO

Macbook air doesn't have retina and pro does so I was wondering if you have both, do you see a big difference in the resolution?

As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
Ive had both, yes you certainly notice a difference.
Go to an Apple store and take a peek at both

How do I get conflict resolution from poping up? It is saying I have conflicts between MS2008 Entourage and MS2011 Outlook. This cannot be because I have removed both programs.

I have recently upgraded to MS Office 2011, Home & Student version from MS Office 2008, Home & Student version. I tried the trial version of 2011 which had Outlook as it's mail/address/calendar program. Using the 2008 version of MS Office, Entourage was the contact program of choice. I have since decided not to use the Outlook program because of too many bugs and am now using Thunderbird for my email service and Apple Address Book for my contact information. I therefore deleted the Outlook and Entourage address book. Yet, "Conflict Resolver" keeps poping up and is saying I have 1015 conflicts! Worse yet, I am unable to correct, even though I went through all 1015 conflicts, one by one. HELP! How do I get rid of this problem?

Hi Thomas, thanks for your reply.
Yes in standard start-up as it is and in recovery mode I still get the same message about Disk Utility being unable to repair the disk so I should back-up and restore.
Some posters have said that booting into safe mode should unmount the installer and allow rebooting back into Lion, that would allow me to back-up the files properly, as my last back up was (as is often the way) not too recent.
But I think your suggestion looks more likely to be he correct way to do it, and I'll take the hit on any data that I may lose.
Thanks again.

Difference in tax amounts between PO (header) and GR documents

Hi,
There is PO where the Fixed value BCD(Fixed value Basic customs Duty) is 10% and education Cess @ 3% and the total tax amount as per PO header data is 400GBP. However, in GR document it is showing as 194GBP.
This difference is not fixed for the other affcted PO and GR. Say, for example in the second such difference: Per PO if the amount is 500 GBP, the GR document shows 481 GBP.
The conditions are defined in MEK1 and they are Z condition types.
I'm working on ECC 6.0
Please suggest
Regards,
Soujanya

The issue was due to exchange rates. PB00 is maintained in GBP and the customs duty and all other duties condition types local to India are maintained in INR. And there was a difference in the exchange rate amounts between PO and GR. And that was the issue all about

Calculate percent difference of revenue dollars between company a and company b in SSAS cube

New to the world of SSAS cubes. Here is my scenario... I have company A that has revenue R for a given month. I have company B that has revenue S for the same month. I have Company C that has revenue T for the same month. I need
to calculate the pct difference between revenue R vs S, and R vs T, for each month. Can this be done in a SSAS cube? Thanks in advance.

hi,
Hereunder one idea that went through my mind. But there is room for improvement.
Feel free to replace the pct formula with your own conception of it.
I didn't clutter it with the usual nullity test that you can find in the documentation on the internet.
No company dimension in AW so i took country instead:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Pct vs] AS
[Customer].[Country].currentmember.nextmember.name
MEMBER [Measures].[Perct vs] AS
[Customer].[Country].currentmember.nextmember.nextmember.name
MEMBER [Measures].[Sales next member] AS
([Customer].[Country].currentmember, [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]) / (
[Customer].[Country].currentmember.nextmember,
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
MEMBER [Measures].[Sales 2nd next member] AS
([Customer].[Country].currentmember, [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]) / (
[Customer].[Country].currentmember.nextmember.nextmember,
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
SELECT
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
[Measures].[Pct vs],
[Measures].[Sales next member],
[Measures].[Perct vs],
[Measures].[Measures].[Sales 2nd next member]
} ON 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2007]&[1],
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2007]&[2]
[Customer].[Country].[Country]
} ON 1

Hope this will inspire you !

Differences in compare editor between JDeveloper 10 and 11

I have some code that previously opened a split-view editor with files side by side. For JDeveloper 10 the code was roughly:
DifferenceBlock db = new DifferenceBlock(DifferenceBlock.TYPE_NOCHANGE);
db.setFirstStart(start1);
db.setFirstLength(length1);
db.setSecondStart(start2);
db.setSecondLength(length2);
URLContributor contr1 = new URLContributor(url1);
URLContributor contr2 = new URLContributor(url2);
CompareModel model = new TextCompareModel(contr1, contr2, new DifferenceBlock[] { db });
CompareNode compareNode = new CompareNode(CompareURLHelper.newCompareURL(contr1, contr2, 0));
compareNode.setModel(model);
compareNode.setSource(contr1);
compareNode.setTarget(contr2);
EditorUtil.openDefaultEditorInFrame(compareNode);
Running this code on 11 does not work and gets NoClassDefFoundError. I tried to browse the API for 11 and found oracle.oracle.javatools.compare.CompareView but am unsure how properly use it. I also noticed that it was part of the API since 10 so perhaps the previous way of doing it was not the preferred way? If I could write the code in such a way that it works on both 10 and 11 it would be ideal but it is not a necessity. Mostly I am just looking for some examples to see how a comparison editor would normally be set up and opened.

Hi Paul,
I tried it in 11 and as you said those classes are there and the compare editor opened successfully. There is one remaining issue which I need to figure out and that is how to add differences to the compare editor. Ultimately what is being compared are two files that contain duplicate code. I would like to have any differences between the two files suppressed and then be able to specify what items are highlighted. For example, if there was a duplicated method between the two files I would like to be able to have the method highlighted in one file with a connector to the method highlighted in the other file and nothing else highlighted. Is there a way to access the compare editor after it has been opened and specify the differences? In my previous code I was able to specify the differences using the DifferenceBlock and passing it as a parameter to a CompareModel. Using CompareViewer.get().show() omits this step.
Another smaller side issue is that sometimes duplicated code would exist within the same file. I noticed that opening a compare editor with the same file in both panes gives a warning message saying that the files are identical. Is there a way to suppress this?
Thank you,
Jason

Difference in battery life between MDR-ZX550BN and BTN200?

I am looking to buy either the MDR-ZX500BN or the BTN200. There are, however, some information that I can not seem to find or get confirmed anywhere. Therfore I hope that it can be sorted out here.
The differences that I can find (correct me if I am wrong) with the newer MDR-ZX500BN are:
- Texture (material?) on the earcups and hinges have switched (metalic and platic)
- Noice canellation (90%)
- Minor changes in button layout (button for anwsering calls)
- 10 grams heavier.
Another thing I noticed is how it claims a battery life that support up to 25 hours of music playback, while the older BTN200 calims 40 hours!
At first I wash shocked at the Idea that Sony would cap their own product like that (only 62,5% of the previous model's capacity).
I personally do not care for the nocie cancelling feature that much and would rather have the extra battery life (especially if that feature reduces the capacity as much as it has done in this case).
Then I thought it made more sense when I read that the 25 hours is measured when noice cancellation is ON.
Though, I can not find any information on how long the battery lasts when the nocie cancellation is OFF.
Some of the questions that this raises:
- These models look quite similar and the older BTN200 seems to be going out of stock soon, but the names are not very similar at all. So is MDR-ZX550BN really a successor to BTN200?
- Are there any minor or major differences, other than the ones that I listed before?
Last and certainly my main question:
- How long is the expected (up to) battery life on the MDR-ZX500BN when the nocie cancellation is OFF?

Never mind.
I found it.
However, It says nothing about it on Sony's dedicated website for my country (Sweden).
I found it on the US website.
It can handle up to 29 hours of music playback with the noice cancellation OFF...
That is still less than 75% of the older and much cheaper BTN200.
Sony... this is not good.
While 29 hours is still quite good. The much higher price (effectively the double in stores, here in Sweden) and extra (even if it is minimal) weight, just won't cut it when your older version is way better.
I have not tried the noice cancelling feature on this particular model. But a lot of reviews says that is the weakest noice cancelling that they have experienced and that it is quite useless.
What the older BTN200 had going for it, was low weight, low price and the most astonishingly superior battery life. If something that makes a more universal impact on society, like an electric generator, was engineered to be as efficient as the BTN200 is among bluetooth headphones, I bet Sony would win the Nobel prize.
The successor MDR-ZX550BN has managed to be worse on all these points, is just generic and hardly worth the price it has.
I have decided that I will buy two (maybe more) BTN200 for the price of one MDR-ZX550BN. So that I may have a some spare ones, just in case Sony does not improve on upcoming versions.
If someone who reads this has any power to influence Sony's decisions on future models. Please make them realize this!
