Old and new battery both ~2 hour life, recently very loud fan

1)
My macbook pro, which was purchased April 2006, had suddenly dropped its battery life from about ~4 hours to ~2 in January. I noticed this because I traveled back home by plane with a 4 hour battery life for winter, and within weeks the life had dropped to ~2.
I already reset the system (i.e., remove battery, hold down start for 5 seconds, etc) with no avail. This was with the old battery. The apple store tried the same thing, was stumped, and decided to just give me a new battery.
The older battery was the replacement for the 'dud' my macbook pro was originally given. This new battery should be perfectly fine, but the battery life is still ~2 hours. I tried the system reset with this battery--which didn't work. I have also reduced the battery life to just about zero then charged it again--which didn't work.
Could there possibly be something wrong with the hardware? What can I do to fix it, what is the best course of action to fix this one problem?
2)
Just a few days ago a fan in the top left corner has begun to behave strangely. It has become very loud and seemingly inconsistent even with low CPU usage. By inconsistent I mean it sounds as if it has become loose or it won't maintain a constant speed. The best description for the sound would be 'boiling water.' What could be the cause for this and how can I go about fixing this problem?
Any input is greatly appreciated!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Purchased April 2006

1)
Have you checked your battery's serial number against the MBP battery exchange program? I did this out of curiousity with mine and it turned that mine was one of the faulty ones! So Apple sent me a new one and I sent the duff one back. It was still fairly new at the time so it still held a good charge.
2)
I had the fan thing but mine was on the right hand side. Your BEST bet...(what I did) open up quicktime and RECORD the noise several times at different operating conditions and save the files.
send your machine to a service centre and ask for an email address to send the files to so the technician can hear what you hear. I recorded it behaving normally as well so they could hear the difference.
The 1st time mine went in it behaved itself for them so they had to give it back to me, that's when I recorded the noises! I emailed the files before I sent my MBP back again, they took one listen and said they'd order the fans, BEFORE I sent it in. They called me to say that the fans were in so in it went for the replacement.
Hope it helps - mine sounded like it was going to explode and rip apart the inside! I can email you the files if you like?

New camera dies Rebel t5i with old and new battery

Camera is 12 months old and the original battery appears as if not holding a charge. After charging, the camera will come on and die when pressing the shutter button to take a picture. I purchased a new battery, charged it and the same happens again. Seems that maybe the old battery may not be dead after all. Could this be the charger or is this a camera issue. If a camera issue where do I go to get this looked at. Bought camera at best buy. You think this caliper camera would last longer than a year???

Are there any third party components involved in charging or using your camera? Did you, for example, add a 3rd party battery grip?
I ask, because just occcasionally we'll get this sort of question where the camera fails to perform as expected but the person seeking help didn't mention the 3rd party component. Once we find out about it and eliminate it from the test... suddenly the camera works fine again.
Canon factory batteries tend to last many years assuming you are using the original Canon charger (I do NOT like to use "fast" chargers as they stress the battery trying to charge it in a hurry and shorten it's life.)
When you insert a freshly charged battery and power it up... does the rear LCD screen come to life and, if so, do you see the battery charge level indicator showing that the battery is full?
This may be a problem with the camera itself and/or with one of it's cut-off switches. There are two micr-switches will cause the camera to immediately power down if they are not engaged. One is on the battery compartment door. The other is on the memory card door. If you power up the camera then VERY SLOWLY open these doors, you should find that you can open them about 1mm and then the camera will power off. If you barely touch the door and the camera shuts down, then it may be that you have a bad switch. Make sure the two doors are undamaged and able to close easily without any obstructions (if they aren't fully closed, it would make sense that your camera spontaneously shuts down.)
You may need to contact Canon service for help as there's no "setting" that would make the camera do this. The T5i is a good camera, but it's just possible you have a problem with yours -- it happens and it's not an indicator of low quality. I bought a new car that had a water pump failure within the first 5000 miles (that was a shock) even though everybody else with the same model car didn't have a problem with their water pump. It happens. Could they increase quality control to the point that it'd be very hard to get a car released with a bad water pump? Well... they could improve build standards, testing standards, and inspection standards... that would REALLY drive up the price tag of that car... and just occasionally they'd still get a bad one anyway. You can never get quality to 100% for any product.

HT5548 I upgraded one of my programs and now the old and new both appear on launch pad, and I can't delete the old one. Is there a way I can do that?

I upgraded one of my programs and now the icons for both old and new appear on the launch pad. I don't need or want the old version to display, as it's been imported into the new one. I can't seem to figure out how to edit it off the launch pad.

Hi there,
More then likely, the old version was installed independently from the App Store. The article below goes over the process for removing these application.
OS X Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph4524
To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your computer. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
Hope that helps,

My computer is 3 1/2 months old and my battery is dying really fast what can I do to increase the battery life?

Hi,
I asssume it's a laptop!
1st I would run it right down & then do a full recharge, then run it down again + a full recharge..
Check that you do not have any apps running in the background, reset PRAM..
When all's done I usually run a movie & time how long the battery lasts..if after that & no joy call Apple Help..

I accidently created a new apple account on my new phone, How do I merge my old and new accounts

I had an old account but had lost access to the email. In frustration I created a new account to use with iTunes on windows. Now history repeats itself and I've a new iPhone 4 that I want to load with data from both old and new accounts. Do I need to just go to the Genius bar next time I'm in town or is there some way to log into each account, back up the data and merge to the new account?

Actually not trying to merge the accounts, but back up the DATA i have stored in those accounts. Once I've pulled the many songs I purchased under the old account I'll burn them to something and delete the old account... and I think I've just answered my own question.
i.e. Don't try to merge anything, just salvage music and other data (contacts, notes)

Fetching old and New Data in HRMS for 'Update' Transactions

Hi All,
I need to find out the old and new values for a person_id from HRMS tables (Per_all_people,Address,contacts etc) based on Person Id. Do we have any Standard Script or has someone prepared such script and can share with me. I am not expecting the Corrected records to be fetched as it overrides the same line but atleast for such records which comes under 'Update'.
For Example, If for Perso_id 123, the Telephone# was 8888 and then it is updated to 9999. So my query Should return somethign like:
Information From To Effective Date
Telephone 8888 9999 28-Nov-2011
Note: Can't use any triggers.
Thanks

Hi,
You need to include a new keyfigure in the cube and map with both the new and old compcodes and the write a field routine with the logic that meets your requirement by passing the values of PSPNR into the internal table and get the output for the keyfigure value. Also you use if else condition as per the requirement.
Hope this helps...

Can EC-CS run with Classic GL and New GL both in parallel?

We are on ECC 6.0 EhP4, and use EC-CS for consolidation.
The plan is to use New GL from next fiscal year. Consolidation is at company code level.
Profit centers are active in system, but there is no consolidation by profit center.
Document splitting will be used in New GL.
Question : for some time after new GL is active, and before we switch off Classic GL - can we run consolidations using Classic GL and New GL both? The intention is to check if everything is working like before .

Well to answer some the questions:
1. The 4th entity is a legal entity
2. All the 4 entities are company codes and we do not use consolidation.
3. Ideally we would like to migrate the 3 companies on SAP to the new GL to coincide with the go live of the 4th entity but we may have resource and time constraints.
Most of the answers were very helpful but I still dont have a clear answer.
For example If I activate the new GL at client level and have document splitting only for the new entity and classic for the old entities, how will this affect any intercompany posting and also the month end processes? PCA accounting is very important for all the entities
Many thanks guys.. It's seems these issues are not easily addressed in any of the SAP documentation

Difference when using old and new PCA datasources

Hello experts,
We have implemented the new PCA datasources provided by business content version 3.3. We have built a new infocube (ZPCA_C01) as we were not concerned about the appropriate performance of these new datasources 0EC_PCA_3 and 0EC_PCA_4.
After loading the new cube (ZPCA_C01) with the new datasources 0EC_PCA_3 and 4, we made a comparison to the content of the old cube 0PCA_C01, that was loaded with 0EC_PCA_1.
For thesame period (2005.001-002) there is a difference between the contents of the cubes. When checking the results I found that this may be caused by the fact, that 0EC_PCA_4 does not populate "Total credit postings" and "Total debit postings" fields in the new cube, however, we have a couple of records in table GLPCA, where ACTIV = 'PRC4', and that have a corresponding record in GLPCT, where there is a figure in
TSL02 field. It results in the fact that>
- 0EC_PCA_1 extracts the figure from GLPCT for Posting Period 2,
- 0EC_PCA_4 does not extract the same figure from GLPCA.
Can you please help me with the above problem? Do you know how Credit and Debit figures get to BW from GLPCA, where ACTIV='PRC4'?
Thanks,
Csaba

Hi
I am exeuting a trigger and while retrieving a date field from it using :OLD and :NEW variables, it leaves the timestamp part.
for example,the actual value for start_date field in the table is '10/12/2005 7:04:25 PM', but when I use :NEW.start_date , it returns only '10/12/2005' .
How to make it return the timestamp also?
Thanks.How are you determining that it's missing the time component from it?
If it's a DATE datatype then it will have both date and time components. If you take that and store it in a DATE datatype column then that too will store the date and time components. If you then go and view that data, it will have both date and time components unless you have your local settings (NLS settings etc) set so that dates are displayed without the time portion. That doesn't mean the data is not there, but that you are not displaying it when you query it.

T.code FF7A: how to see old and NEW open items?

Hi All,
I've filled the "Cash Managemeng Group" in the master data of a Customer.
The report Cash Manag.& Forecast doesn't update its old open line Items.
Only the documents successive to the insertion of the "Cash Managemeng Group" in the master data are updated in the report.
Could anyone tell how to obtain all the items (old and new) in the report?
Thanks
Gandalf

There are a couple options depending on the additional details of your situation....
Within t-code FDFD, there is a button labeled Data Setup. This button is intended for use when cash management (CM) is activated for an existing company code and CM needs to be updated with transactions created prior to the activation. It deletes all data in cash management for the Co.Cd. and then builds the CM data for all GL, customer and vendor accounts. There are also options to update CM for other areas (Sales, Procurement, Treasury, etc.)
Also within t-code FDFD, there is a button labeled Correct Data. This button can be used instead of the Data Setup button, if the CM data for a particular area needs to be corrected. This function has the following options: All GL accounts, All GL accounts with open items, All GL accounts w/o open items (non-open item managed accounts), All Customers/Vendors, All Customers, All Vendors.
It's best to run these functions when transactions are not being created on the system.

Shannon

Please help me to merge two places.sqlite to get my old and New history at the same time, every time i rename my two places.sqlite to see my old and new history

every time i rename my new places.sqlite to see my old history and come back rename old places.sqlite to see my new history, i tired and i found No Way to merge two places.sqlite :( but it's must be found this way for The PPL to see their old and new history :(
Thank You all in Advance

You can't merge history otherwise then using Sync to store the history and bookmarks of one places.sqlite on the Sync server and then disconnect.<br />
Copy the second places.sqlite file to your Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.
Then setup Sync once again using that account and merge the content on the Sync server with your computer.

My airmac no longer finds cameras. Will find iphone, but no longer photos either. My Canon Power Shots, old and new, are as good as rocks.

Recently my MacBook Air does not list devices that are cameras. It used to, but does not now. I have recently a) used MacKeeper, b) deleted movies, photos (thousands of those spawning ones) for space, c) installed ios 7 on my iphone, d) bought a Canon Power Shot SX 170is.
Image Capture, Image Browser EX, iphoto--nothing gets photos...nothing sees photos residing on my Canon PowerShots (old and new) or my iphone. Macbook Air can not find cameras.
Help. All cameras are rocks now.

MacKeeper is considered Malwear and has destroyed many iPhoto libraries - read the user tip on it - https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents - my best guess is that your problem was caused by MacKeeper - I suggest you remove it according to the instructions in that user tip
to test depress the option key and launch iphoto - create a new library and see if it works correctly with your cameras - post back with the results
