OPINION OF THANKS \ OPINIA PODZIĘKOWANIA

Welcome
This way I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your understanding, unique and very professional approach and understanding of your problem and especially its POSITIVE dealt with by a very unique and friendly courteous staff HP POLANDContact HP - TELECOMMUNICATIONS after-sales support Mr. Paul HAWRAŁKIEWICZA. Tulu warm words at one person yet I have used to use in one opinion, although some of them have already written but Mr. Paul is a unique and fully deserving of them, certainly there were still too little. I want to take this opportunity to thank though late but better late than never Mr Luke Zaradkiewiczowi HP POLAND be as a professional solution, this time via e-mail problem with drivers Multifunction Devices HP Photosmart C5180 that from now on my computer like the HP Compaq Dx 7400 MT is working almost perfectly. And my opinion of what I want to briefly summarize COMPANY EMPLOYEES tray and its only so forth.Best regards

Witam
Chcę ta drogą wyrazić moje SERDECZNE PODZIĘKOWANIA ZA ZROZUMIENIE, WYJĄTKOWE I BARDZO PROFESJONALNE PODEJŚCIE ORAZ ZROZUMIENIE ZGŁOSZONEGO PROBLEMU a przede wszystkim jego POZYTYWNE ZAŁATWIENIE przez wyjątkowego bardzo uprzejmego i sympatycznego pracownika HP POLSKA KONTAKT HP - TELEFONICZNE WSPARCIE POSPRZEDAŻOWE Pana Pawła HAWRAŁKIEWICZA. Tulu ciepłych słów pod adresem jednej osoby jeszcze nie zażyło się mi użyć w jednej opinii chociaż już trochę ich napisałem ale Pan Paweł jest osobą wyjątkową i w pełni zasługującą na nie, z pewnością było ich jeszcze za mało. Korzystając z okazji chcę również podziękować chociaż późno ale lepiej późno niż wcale Panu Łukaszowi Zaradkiewiczowi z HP POLSKA za równie profesjonalne rozwiązanie tym razem za pośrednictwem e-maila problemu ze sterownikami Urządzenia wielofunkcyjnego HP Photosmart C5180 które od tej pory podobnie jak mój komputer HP Compaq Dx 7400 MT pracuje wręcz IDEALNIE. A moją opinię chcę podsumować krótko jaka FIRMA tacy i jej PRACOWNICY tylko tak dalej.

Beautiful Site.. Found few things that might help you to improve. Please have a look,
The total size of this page is 636473 bytes, which will load in 128.85 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. Consider reducing total page size to less than 100K to achieve sub 20 second response times on 56K connections. Pages over 100K exceed most attention thresholds at 56Kbps, even with feedback.
The total size of your images is 595699 bytes, which is over 100K. Consider switch graphic formats to achive smaller file sizes (from JPEG to PNG for example). Finally, substitute CSS techniques for graphics techniques to create colored borders, backgrounds, and spacing.
The total size of external your scripts is 36020 bytes, which is over 20K. Consider optimizing your JavaScript for size, combining them, and using HTTP compression where appropriate for any scripts placed in the HEAD of your documents. You can substitute CSS menus for JavaScript-based menus to minimize or even eliminate the use of JavaScript.
I hope this helps

JDK1.3 and Netmeeting Not compatible?? Need expert opinion! Thanks!! :)

Hi Everyone!! :)
I have researched this topic and have not been able to find a decent answer yet. So I'm asking the experts now!! :)
I have a java application written and compiled in jdk1.3. When a user runs this application remotely through netmeeting, they only get an intial gray frame, but nothing shows up on it. The menus and other GUI stuff ARE usuable, just not visible to the user. NOTE- if watching from the computer where the application is actually run from, everything initializes just fine. I've read that this is a problem in general with jdk1.3. Has anyone had any success with jdk1.4 and Netmeeting? Or does anyone know of a way to get to force jdk1.3 to work with netmeeting?? The later of the two would be preferable due to compatiblity issues with other programs and jdk1.4...
If I find something useful myself, I'll post it, but right now I've hit a dead end. ANY ideas would be great! ;)
Thank You!!
Katie

Sounds odd...I'm sure that the same technology used in Netmeeting was used in Remote client access...and I can run my applets thru Remove access with no problems. I usually find problems like this are related to a graphics problem...like colors too high, resolution too high, or the video acceleration is too high.

OPINION WANTED: Why can't Sun make the setBounds more meaningful?

Hi,
I am wondering why Sun doesn't add some brains to the setBounds method. I bring this up because of my current situation.
I have two panels, A & B. A is added to B, and A can be dragged around "on top" of B. But I can not allow the user to drag A out of the bounds of B. so I have to do all this checking to make sure it doesn't happen. It would be much simpler if the A panel could know what the size of its "playground" is.
Doing something like this would be nice,
A.setPlayground(B.getBounds());then as A is dragged around, it knows what its "playground" is and knows that its own bounds cannot not leave the "playground". But currently, there is no such implementation, so I would basically have to create my own JPanel class, and include this functionality...which I wish Sun would implement.
Anyone else think this is a good idea or worth while to do? Whats your opinion?
Thanks.

Ok, that is basically doing the same as rect.contains(rect) .....and instead of creating new rectangles i could just do this:
if (rectangleA.contains(panelB.getBounds())) ...However, a problem still occurs that a user could drag the panel quickly, and its location gets set so that it is no longer "contained" in rectangleA.
if rectangleA's bounds are [0, 0, 200, 200] the panelB's bounds could get set so that its bounds are [200,y,w,h] ....so u can see the x value is at the max of rectangleA's bounds....so when i try to do rectangleA.contains(panelB.getBounds()) it fails....so to fix this I have to do this:
if ((panelB.getMinX() < 0) ||
                                       (panelB.getMinY() < 0) ||
                                             (panelB.getMaxX() > rectangleA.getMaxX()) ||
                                             (panelB.getMaxY() > rectangleA.getMaxY())) {
                                  temp.setLocation(oldLocation);
                             }i wish i didnt have to do all that checking like that.

Printer Issue.

Hi Hussien,
I have configured the HP printers with EBS 12.1.1 on RHEL 5.3 using Pasta Universal. I am able to print the standard report like Active Users etc but not able to print the reports generated by XML/BI Publisher or PDF format. I followed the MOS Article ID 338990.1. The print request is completing with error but there is no message in Log. Seems I am missing something , somewhere. We have printer from 2 different vendors but non of these able to print the PDF/XML report.
Looking forward for your expert opinion.
Thanks
Samar

Hi Asif,
I am still facing the issue even I followed the steps as per note. I want you to send the screenshots of printer registeration and pasta.cfg / pasta_pdf.cfg enteries if I am missing something else. Please send me your email. My email is [email protected]

Loop at screen in CJR2 layouts (or KPP1L management ) ?

Hi to all,
I need to make as input fields (and consquently, to disable as input fields at some other conditions) the layouts on CJR2 transaction .
In my case it is available an include custom (as a standard modification ) in which I can use "loop at screen" instruction. But in certain case I've seen that other programmers have used an internal table based on structure KPP1L to handle input/output fields on screen (but this solution in certain case doesn't work properly ). Any suggestion or ideas ?
Which solution is better in your opinion ?
Thanks in advance
Andrew

Total blocks ______________________________
99923
Total size MB______________________________
799,384It seems for me that this index needs to be either coalesced or compressed.
Then, what would be the best option in your opinion?
Thanks in advance

So let me continue my case
I first compressed the index as follows
alter index my_index rebuild compress 2;which immediately presents two new situations
(a) index space
Number of blocks with at least 0 to 25% free space    = 0                -------> total bytes = 0
Number of blocks with at least 25-50% free space      = 40              -------> total bytes =, 3125
Number of Blocks with at least 50 to 75% free space   = 0                -------> total Bytes = 0
Number of blocks with at least 75 to 100% free space = 0                -------> total bytes = 0
Number of full blocks with no free space                = 32361           -------> total bytes = 252, 8203125
Total blocks ______________________________
32401
Total size Mb______________________________
259,208meaning that the compress command freed up 67487 leaf blocks and reduced the size of the index from to 799,384 MB to 259,208 MB.
It also shows a relative nice pictue of number of keys per leaf block (when compared to the previous situation)
(b) on the number of key per leaf block
KEYS_PER_LEAF     BLOCKS
4     1
6     1
13     1

295     442
296     152
297     50
298     7
299     1      In a second step, I have coalesced the index as follows
alter index my_index coalesce;which produces the new figure
Number of blocks with at least 0 to 25% free space     = 0          -------> total bytes = 0
Number of blocks with at least 25-50% free space      = 298        -------> total bytes = 2,328125
Number of Blocks with at least 50 to 75% free space   = 0           -------> Total Bytes = 0
Number of blocks with at least 75 to 100% free space = 0            -------> total bytes = 0
Number of full blocks with no free space = 32375                    -------> total bytes = 252, 9296875
Total blocks ______________________________
32673
Total size MB______________________________
261,384meaning the the coalesce command has made
(a)     298-40 = 258 new blocks with 25-50% of free space
(b)     32375-32361 = 14 new additional blocks which have been made full
(c)     The size of the index increased by 2,176MB (261,384-259,208)
While the number of key per leaf block keeps in the same situation
KEYS_PER_LEAF     BLOCKS

299     1      Could you please through some light on the difference between the compress and the coalesce on the effect they have made on
(a) the number of keys per leaf blocks within my index
(b) the space and size of my index?

Data package's data coolection in one internal table of Update rule in bw

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement in bw which demands to create update routine, in which I need to find the vendor for the material, which doesn't have vendor by some business rule but, here in this case data is divided into different datapackages so here in this case material data is splited over different datapackages.
One material can have n no of records with differnt plants.
My only question is like can we collect all datapackage data in one internal table.
Ex: if there are total 5 datapckages, so in update rule can we collect all these datapackages records?
Please suggest your opinion.
Thanks in advance,
Snehal.
Moderator message: please have a look in the BW forums.

hi,
i think your problem is need of a work area...
Using "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_zhrp" You must use " check lt_zhrp is not initial "
DATA: lt_zhrp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF zhrp,
lt_zhrt TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF zhrt.
*new
data: wa_zhrp type lt_zhrp.
SELECT tabnr
FROM zhrp

WHERE objid = lv_posid.
LOOP AT lt_zhrp INTO wa_zhrp.
SELECT low
FROM zhrt
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_zhrt
WHERE tabnr = wa_zhrp-tabnr " lt_zhrp-tabnr
AND attrib = 'NET_VALUE'.
ENDLOOP.

Disappearing Contacts, Mobile Me Sync Issues, Calendar crash-Answers??

I'll try to keep this post brief but hopefully it will help provide some possible answers for frustrated users experiencing the random complete wipe out of all contacts and calendar data when syncing with mobile me using either push or fetch. After several weeks of experiencing these random sync issues and spending several hours over several days between tech support calls with iPhone then Mobile Me support and then finally a genius bar appointment where the genius said he didn't have a clue and simply offered to replace my phone.
The next morning, SAME PROBLEMS... and through it all NO ONE could tell me why my sync was so randomly unreliable. Every other day for no apparent reason, my phone would suddenly lose all contacts and/or calendar data. (A few thousand contacts and two years of calendar data). It was both frustrating and strange—even stranger that Apple techs had no clue why and seemed to think no one else was having this issue.
I tried everything - complete restores, resets, deleting and re-adding the mobileme account, etc., etc., etc. One tech support person finally said, "good luck..." The others kept handing me off the higher levels of support... until finally they just said "we don't know why this is happening." I was waiting for someone to just say, "Look, we have issues with mobile me, so hang in there and eventually it will work." I can be patient and I still think the iphone is the greatest invention in recent years. But everybody I talked with at Apple seemed to think this should be working flawlessly.
I also started having a crash on the calendar anytime I tried to see the list view for "all calendars." This was frustrating because that's the best feature of the calendar app!
I was prepared to just return to syncing with my computer and wait for the software to improve between the phone and mobile me. Finally, last night I tried a few things that seem to be working... and for the first full day, mobile me is actually useful to me today. (my fingers are crossed!)
Here's what I did.
1. I minimized the number of calendars I was syncing - I have no idea if this affected the sync, but I was syncing eight calendars, now I'm down to four. (You can easily export a calendar and import those events back into a different calendar.)
2. I did a complete restore of the phone (not from a back up) and the VERY FIRST THING, I added mobile me and synced only the calendar (set to push.) This cleared up the random calendar crash in list view and also mobile me was pushing data rather reliably. After a few moments my entire calendar was on the phone and worked perfectly. New events were transferred quickly back and forth.
3. I then chose to sync my contacts through the computer rather than over the air. I fear that the contact sync was somehow messing up the whole communication process between the phone and the cloud. Someone suggested that the number of "groups" in contacts might have an impact on the sync issues as well. I didn't need my contacts to sync with the urgency of "push" so this works for me. Plus I have a lot of contacts and it's just faster over the cable.
4. I then GREATLY reduced the number of apps on my phone. I originally had about 27 and I only reinstalled 9 of them. I did this ONE AT A TIME - starting with the most necessary and useful... and after each install, I checked the functionality of the calendar and mobile me. No problems. Perhaps I was having an app conflict?
5. Then I reinstalled the rest of my content - music, podcasts, photos. Still no problems.
ONE of these steps actually worked, and I'm not sure which one. My guess is that one or more of my apps was conflicting in some way. OR possibly something with the contact sync... but for the last 24 hours the mobile me calendar sync using push has been consistently reliable and useful. (for the record, mobile me email has always worked perfectly for me.)
No one with tech support ever suggested to me that I could be having an application conflict or any other problems with calendars or contact groups, etc. I've spent many hours on this the past few weeks... and for the first time, my iphone seems to be working with mobile me correctly.
In reading many of these posts, it seems a lot of others are having similar problems... so hopefully these suggestions might be helpful. If you have any thoughts as to which of these solutions was the correct one, I would be interested in hearing your opinion.
Thanks!

Are your Address Book contacts and iCal calendars/calendar events on your Mac synced with your MobileMe online address book and calendar?
When you say this data is not synced with your iPhone, none of your MobileMe online data is transferred to your iPhone, or after the initial transfer of this data to your iPhone when you first turned contacts and calendars for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, the data is not kept synchronized with the MobileMe "cloud"?

I have carefully checked each power cord to make sure that it's not a user error. I had a good and experienced friend with me to make sure I didn't skip any basic steps. I am in the progress of opening a ticket with MSI technical support and I plan on purchasing an Corsair DDR3 stick to test with. I have a bad feeling that it could be the processor but I wanted an expert opinion. Thanks in advanced & Merry Christmas.

Just to confirm: you are not getting ANY CPU phase lights when you power-up? Note that there are 4 CPU phase-lights. The top one is the NB phase light. If you are getting none, then look at your CPU and/or PSU CPU connector. Not sure why RAM should affect this at all.
Well, there are 5 LED's total, so that was my bad. I meant the first bracket (CPU phase 1) is lighting up. It does not make it past that stage. The 3 other lights are not powered on. I have had the optical drive disconnected this whole time but found that when it was connected, it did not open. For now, I'll just leave it disconnected... Anyways, I wasn't sure how RAM would affect this, but it was worth a shot.

New Build - Looking for Tips

So I have purchased the components listed in my Sig and getting ready to set everything up, just wanting to get some tips/advice on the best way to go about it.
My biggest question is concerning RAID, as this is the first time I have set one up. Any tips, guides, etc. on how best to accomplish this on my MB is appreciated. I am wanting to end up with a 1TB RAID 1+0 (4 500GB drives paired up, both pairs RAID 1, then one pair RAID 0 of the other pair). Am I correct in assuming it is best to plug only 2 in (SATA 1&2) setup the RAID 1 on those, then plug the other 2 in (SATA 3&4) and set those up as RAID 1, then tie everything together as with RAID 0? Or can I plug them all in and do it all at once? The instructions look fairly straight forward, just looking for some clarity and actual user input.
Do I need to update my BIOS? I haven't tried booting at all, so not sure what I am starting with, but I notice in the CPU compatibility the same CPU I have lists Version 10.4. Should I stick with what I have and only upgrade if I am having issues, or should I upgrade from the start.
I have a SATA Blu-Ray burner, and have seen a few things mentioning a SATA ODD coming up under RAID configurations. Is this an issue, is there a certain SATA port I should use to avoid this, certain settings I need to pay attention to, or does it matter?
Regarding memory, I read (in a sticky) that fewer memory sticks result in faster performance due to Dual Channels. I was under the impression that if all 4 slots were filled you would have 2 groups, each using Dual Channel. Am I incorrect in that? If faster performance (MHz-wise) is achieved by only using 2 sticks, will I get better overall results by removing 2 sticks (leaving only 4GB) or will the additional memory compensate for the speed loss? (The RAM is rated as being Dual Channel, if that makes a difference).
Does anyone have any general computer building tips? I have built a number of them before, but would like some input on the best/most efficient/fewest problems way is. All previous builds have been done with default configurations, if anyone has suggestions for some settings that they recommend those are welcome. I will be over-clocking at some point, depending on how things go and if there is any advantage to doing so from the start or waiting until the system is setup. I did notice this MB has a OC center as well as the Easy OC Switch. Any input or thoughts on those?
To sum it up, I am looking for as much input on getting everything set up as easily as possible, with the best settings without requiring a lot of adjustments. Any and all input is appreciated!

Windows rating is rather silly, it's not the sum of the system but rather the slowest part that gives you this rating.
Yeah, I agree with the silliness of Windows final rating, however I do like to use the individual ratings as a sort of benchmark. The issue isn't the final rating, it the rating I am receiving for my processor, which is 4.1, and is the lowest rating on there.
From memory -
Processor - 4.1
RAM - 4.9
Graphics - 7.4
Gaming - 7.1
HD - 5.9
As a comparison, another computer with a 2.2GHz quad core processor, 4GB RAM, and single drive rates as follows:
Processor - 6.9
RAM - 7.2
Graphics - 4.8
Gaming - 6.1
HD - 5.9
With the components I have vs the comparison computer, I would expect CPU, RAM, and HD to all be higher, but they are lower or the same! So something somewhere is not right in my opinion.
Thanks for any feedback!

PowerMac G5 doesn't work anymore simply due to a DVD-ROM drive removal!

Hello, here's what's happened (I'll write using the "present" because I'm not English).
This happened about two days ago:
I need to read an Ultra ATA hard disk, so I power off the Mac.
I remove the SuperDrive DVD-ROM and I connect the hard disk in its place (I already made this with other ATA hard disks in past and it always was OK).
I close the Mac.
I try to start: nothing! The light on the power-on button of the Screen (Apple Cinema Display 20" plastic) and the light on the power-on button of the Mac case starts flashing 3 times (then stop, than other three times, etc...).
So I power off. I change the jumper configuration of the hard disk, like the Super Drive. I try again: NOTHING. Always three-times flashing the lights.
So I power off. I re-install the DVD drive, close the Mac again and restart it.
SURPRISE: the same symptom! The computer doesn't start and always makes the three-times flashing lights...
So I tried totally removing the DVD drive, and restarting it without it: nothing: same symptom.
Unfortunately I made these attempts forgetting to disconnect the power cable of the Mac!
Then I start trying with other RAM configurations, hoping that just a RAM module got burned. I have 6 ram modules (512 MB each).
I try lots of combinations... nothing, always same symptom.
Finally, I disconnect the power cord again, I re-install all the RAM modules, an I try to reset the CMOS: I remove the Motherboard battery for some seconds.
Than I re-install the battery, close the Mac, connect the power cord, restart it: it works!!!
I go in System Info, and I see that it doesn't recognize two of the 6 RAM modules: just 4. The slots of the other 2 not recognized DIMM modules seems empty, but there is the ram!
So I power off the Mac Again. I disconnect the power cord.
I change the RAM modules positions. I try again: nothing! Again the three-times flashing lights symptom, and always black screen again.
So I try again by removing the CMOS battery... nothing... always flashing...
After lots of attempts (also changing again the RAM positions, trying to remember how it was when it worked...)... nothing.
I power off the Mac.
After about an hour, I simply try to power on it... IT WORKED!!!
I used it too... went on Internet, etc... Finished working, I powered it off and went to bed.
The day after, I tried to power it on... nothing! Always three times flashing lights...
From that moment, it was totally impossible to let it work...
I tried to change the RAM positions again... I tried also pressing every time the reset button on the Mother Board... nothing...
The only different symptom that I obtained, a couple of times, was that the two lights (on the Screen button and on the Mac tower button) didn't flash, but was always on.... but it didn't run anyway: totally black screen.
How is this possible? Durin 18 years of computer hardware experience, NEVER happened that a computer got broken just removing and re-installing a DVD-ROM drive!
And I'd never imagined that removing a DVD-ROM could be a dangerous operation... It seems to me just like a car that got broken if I replace the cigarette lighter...
What do you think? how is this possible?
If the CPU or the Motherboard or the RAM too got broken... simply it NEVER should run... on the contrary two times it worked very well!... with a broken Motherboard or CPU??? ...mmmm... so strange....
If the RAM got broken... how is this possible? 6 ram modules burned together??? It seems so absurd... (in past there were 8 RAM modules... one or two got broken... so I removed them and it worked again... but not 6 !!!!).
Any opinion?
Any practical advice?
Prevision of costs?
Thank you!!!

Hi Wolfman I have an update of the situation.
We tried moving the RAM modules again... and at one point it worked! With just 2 RAM modules.
But at the green screen (with the gray apple darker) it blocked.
So we removed the two RAM modules and installed other two modules: it worked again! These two last modules are 512 MB each.
So we restarted the system pressing "c" with the OSX DVD in the drive, and it worked! I used System diagnostic OSX utility and it found the 2 ram modules, but of 256 MB each instead of 512 !!! How is this possible? (if they were broken OK, but detect just half of its size seems so strange...).
Than we restarted it again connecting an OSX bootable external Fire Wire LaCie hard disk (FW400 port), and it worked!
We used DISK UTILITY to test the internal boot hard disk and it gave me an error (verify disk).
The Disk utility was unable to repair the disk.
Another damage!
I remember that in the past attempts it booted once (not three times flashing) and stopped at the grey screen... (I think: maybe due to the boot hard disk error!).
Unfortunately this external bootable firewire disk has got some problem and it sometimes blocks itself emitting a "clic".
So I powered the mac off and connected another newer firewire lacie bootable hard disk. I connected it in the FW800 port. I rebooted and... surprise: three times flashing light again!!!
No way to let it pass this wall, no initial "sound" again... nothing!
So I removed the FW800 drive, and changed the RAM again (inverted them, always two internal slots n. 1 and 2): it worked!
I booted from the FW400 hard disk, and it worked. I was able to backup some data from the internal hard disk (in order to be able to try to solve the error initializing it), and I tried again to boot with the FW800 hard disk (I want a stable system while initializing a drive!).
As I connected the FW800 hard disk again, I tried to reboot... nothing! Again the three-times flashing light error! No sound... black screen again...
(So, simply removing a DVD ROM I got RAM broken, maybe the Logic board, the hard disk too... maybe the FireWire 800 port too.... mmmm.... this mac is possessed! And it is connected through a professional power stabilizer too!).
So after several attempts with RAM, cmos reset, firmware reset (power it up holding the power on button for some seconds), etc... I got it working again...
So this time I rebooted it pressing "c" and I initialized the internal hard disk using the OSX DVD as boot drive...
Then I rebooted from the FW400 hard disk and I used CarbonCopyCloner to restore an internal hard disk clone OSX complete installation from a .dmg image file in the FW800 lacie hard disk... but this time I connected it not using the FW800 port but through the USB 2.0 port... and it was able to copy the data.
The computer was working... able to boot... no three times flashing error... no FW800 connections... always rebooting OK... the internal hard disk initialized, working, with NO errors (disk utility tested), made bootable...
I tried to reboot again (with no "c" or "alt" pressing, hoping the internal boot hard disk working again): nothing!
THREE TIMES FLASHING LIGHT AGAIN!!! No way to solve the problem now... always flashing...
What is happening here??? I don't understand! I use computers (instable DOS/Windows computers mainly!!!) form about 18 years... never seen a so strange behaviour!!!
We'll try to gather money to replace the RAM, before thinking to a Logic Board replacement...
Your opinion?
Thanks!

Firefox crashes when trying to open

When trying to open firefox it crashes right away. It pops up an error box with the two options to either try to restore firefox or quit firefox. I have tried to open it in safe mode and get the same results. Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox with the same thing happening. I do have some crash ID's
Crash ID: bp-286eaeb0-09b0-433b-a42a-c7d472130821
Crash ID: bp-a81caa5c-9a63-4f1d-90fb-ce4b22130821
Crash ID: bp-7468679d-5e89-4430-a8a7-e3ac72130821

Thank you guys for the quick responses. I tried to update trusteer rapport but it said it was already up to date. I am trying to talk to them about it. Also I tried a newer version of Firefox and it opened up fine. The reason that we are trying to get Firefox 9 to work is that there is a business site we need access to and they only support Firefox 9 or IE 8 which is ridiculous in my opinion.
Thanks again guys for your help with this.

Can't open after archive install and migration

Hi there, so heres the deal. I recently posted an issue I had with my imac and turned out the only way to save all my data was to do an archive and install. So I upgraded my HD at the same time to a 2 TB. They then installed OS X and did migration with my old drive. Also the reason I had to new drive was because the previous 500 GB drive was nearly full. Anyways, got my computer back today and everything is pretty good aside from missing quicktime 7 in utilities and a couple drivers and my printers but so far thats it aside from FC studio 2. They just won't open so I read some threads on that and seems like majority say to do a clean install of OS x and I just don't want to do that as I finally got everything normal again. I was thinking of just deleting the apps and reinstalling them but figured I would come on here and see if I could get a second opinion. Thanks for your time
Nat

Well for starters I can't back up cause I am away from home and my time machine drive is at home. But if i were to get it home and run a back up would it just back up everything as is right now which is in error. When i say data I mean all the stuff on my imac HD. Documents, photos, movies etc. Something needs to be done cause i see this problem has went to my iphoto as well. Can't open it which is not good. I put a few photos on there since my last back up. Luckily i do still have the drive that cause the was swapped out that still has some of the data on it. So if one was to do a proper reinstall or clean install, what is the process.

Cannot backup iPhone 3GS. Error Message: iTunes could not backup iPhone because iPhone Disconnected. What is the fix for this problem?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution to my problem.
When a backup is attempted, it starts off as if it's working, then stops and the following error message appears: "iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". But, the iPhone doesn't really disconnect! It must be some type of internal glitch.
The iPhone is a 3GS and I have mostly pictures and contacts, two songs, a total of 33 apps. The iOS is updated (6.1.6). I do not know if this phone was ever jailbroke. I have been able to backup this phone before, but cannot now. The last backup was 9/21/13, it is now 3/2/14.
Sorry if there is too much info, or not the correct info to find a solution!
Also, I must say that although I am not a tekkie, I've seen many different types of various programs and I find that iTunes is not very intuitive...don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just my humble opinion.
Thank You,
Camp917

Hey Lawrence,
A big THANK YOU!! to you! Your suggestions worked!
Before I changed USB ports (more on that in a sec...), I employed one of your suggestions that you gave to someone else with the same problem...and that was to clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry tooth brush. I couldn't believe the amount of lint that came out! Especially what was found in either end...had to do some very careful picking. (Almost enough lint to knit a small sweater!!)
Changing the USB port was the second and final step required for a successful backup. My computer is a laptop, and I did have a USB Bluetooth adapter (for another device) installed. I removed the adapter, plugged the iPhone into that USB port, crossed my fingers...and it worked!!!
Now if I can figure out the rest of this darn program, I might upgrade to a new iPhone!
Again, thank you very much Lawrence!
Rich
