• Cannot post on another forum!

  I am having trouble submitting a post on another forum when using my BlackBerry. (http://www.rabble.ca/babble if that is helpful in any way) I don't know what is wrong, as I'm fine posting here and on another forum where I'm a member. Is there something I should change in my browser settings? I'm using Opera Mini, if that helps. I was able to start a new topic (after clicking on "submit" several times) but I can't reply to a topic already started.
  HELP...?

• CS6 and EDGE : the SUITE question (originally posted in CCM forum)

  sorry I copy paste from CCM forum as the question ir related (?) to both subjects, and I may have better answers here or there
  Alright, sorry I posted a quesiton this morning and found the answer, i have to have CS6 to use lateste Edge Animate.
  What bugs me is that here it says (document created in May but updated lately it seems)
  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/enhancing- your-dps-folios-with-edge-animations.html
  it also takes
  "Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Professional or Enterprise account"
  Do you confirm ?
  If taht is, it's really painful, we can't afford it fdor now...
  We sold a project with previous version made under CS5.5 and Edge Preview (we could use Egde stuff by then) so we're a little bit trapped.
  Do you confirm it takes a paying suite to be able to use EDGE ANIMATE in CS6 ?
  If we pay for the CCM soon (we think about it) will we have to pay both then ? CCM and the PROFESSIONAL EDITION ?
  thanx for the answer

  If you have CC you get Edge and you are free to use it any DPS work you do, including Single Edition.

• Loading data from a file    - originally posted in Spatial forum

  Loading data from a file
  Posted: Jun 23, 2008 10:21 AM      
  Hello,
  i want to load my data to oracle from a rdf file and can consult it later with sparql.
  so, I construct a Jena Model, then I store it using this program, but how can i consult it without loading the file again. thanks
  Oracle oracle = new Oracle(jdbcUrl, user, password);
  // read a data file into a default Jena model.
  Model model = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel();
  InputStream is;
  is = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream(filename));
  model.read(new InputStreamReader(is), "", "");
  is.close();
  ModelOracleSem modelDest = ModelOracleSem.createOracleSemModel(oracle, modelName);
  GraphOracleSem g = new GraphOracleSem(oracle, modelName);
  g.dropApplicationTableIndex();
  if (method == 0) {
  psOut.println("start incremental");
  modelDest.add(model);
  psOut.println("end size " + modelDest.size());
  }else if (method == 1) {
  psOut.println("start batch load");
  ((OracleBulkUpdateHandler) g.getBulkUpdateHandler()).addInBatch(
  GraphUtil.findAll(model.getGraph()), tbs);
  psOut.println("end size " + modelDest.size());
  } else {
  psOut.println("start bulk load");
  ((OracleBulkUpdateHandler) g.getBulkUpdateHandler()).addInBulk(
  GraphUtil.findAll(model.getGraph()), tbs);
  psOut.println("end size " + modelDest.size());
  g.rebuildApplicationTableIndex();

  Hi,
  Chapter 1 (section 1.8) in the documentation has a quickstart on these steps - creating a semantic network, a model, loading the data using INSERT statements and so on. For faster load of large amounts of data you can use the bulk load functionality, documented in chapter 1 (section 1.7).
  For Java code, you could use the Oracle Jena Adaptor, and the best place to start is with the documentation of the Oracle Jena Adaptor, at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/semantic_technologies/htdocs/documentation.html

• My original post, locked by this forum. Display problem related

  Hi G5 Gurus,
  The display problem first, we all know when screen savers display, a click on the mouse will bring you back to the active desktop, this was how it worked., but now, sometimes a click cause the G5 to sleep!
  As for the sleep, I dare not to put it to sleep these days, because I am afriad it may cause a fire by over heating. Sometmes, actually four times in the past few months, my G5 could wake up by itself, followed by a extrem high speed running of the cooling fan, it sounded like a hair dryer running in the same room. Sometimes the sreen could light up, just like real wake up, sometimes, it was black. No clicks the mouse or keyboeard could bring it back to normal, I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
  This crazy problem happened for the first time last summer, a dead hard disk was the cost. Apple replaced it, but failed to detect the cooling or power or display problem. I was given one month extended free service, but right after its end, the problem was back and happened even more often.
  Please let me know if any of you had the same problem and please advise what to do.
  100s Gs of thanks.

  I have the EXACT same problem. In fact, I could not have described it better myself. What gives? I brought it in to the "genius" bar and they repolaced the power supply free of charge but the problem is still there. I noticed they ordered a new logic board but did not end up replacing it after all. Did you have yours replaced and did it work? Is this a known issue?

  Hi La teller,
  Thank you for your reply. The 'genius' here in London only replace the dead hard disk, which I belive was a victim of this problem. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
  Now at lest I know I am not the only bad luck guy. Let's wait and see if others are having the same problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue to Apple, even if it is, it may take years before they can offer a recall or free repaire. I noticed that some G5s have already been suffering from power problems and a free repaire was offered.
  Thank you again and hope Apple can take our concerns into their consideration soon.

  Hello,
  I'm also having this problem (fan running, won't come out of sleep), just spoke with an apple care rep. He confirmed my suspition that it was software, not hardware as I have just had the logic board and power supply replaced.
  His suggestions were to:
  1. Run disk repair from the startup CD
  try running OS X from a firewire drive and see if the same behavior happens or
  perform and archive and install.
  When the fan starts to run like that it means the OS is not communicating with the hardware properly. The OS could be somewhat corrupt if you were having hardware issues beforehand, hence the need for a reinstall. I will be performing an archive and install after the disk repair, I'll let you know if it fixes the problem!

  Hi Stopha6,
  Thank you for your message. I never imagined it could be a software issue, cos it looked so hardware.
  Please keep me updated with your progress.
  By the way, as I said in my old posts, a hard disk went dead when this happened for the very first time, how do you read this?
  Thank you.

  Hi Stopha6,
  After reading your reply again, I realized that the system had already been reinstalled. As I said when it happened for the first time, the hard disk died with it, which was replaced, of course with a new OS X, but the same problem is still happening. May this suggest that it is not just a software problem? Thank you. Songyan

  The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on. The screen-saver and sleep problem you describe sounds like something that may just happen on accident. But this sounds mostly like a software problem. Try making sure to always quit all non-apple products and see if anything changes.

  Thank you, Ag-Nate. I will try as you adivised but I con't think the fans were activeted my intensive CPU using. In most of the cases, the problems happened when the Mac was sleeping, when the minimum CPU were being used.

  "The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on."
  That's only partly right. A hard-working process will make the fans run at high speed, of course.
  But, the OS is in touch with the firmware of the iMac, telling it how to run the fans, based upon information the OS X kernel is getting about the state of the hardware.
  If the firmware loses touch with the OS for some reason, and is not getting instructions on how to run the fan, it will default to running them at full blast, to be on the safe side (and this "full blast" fan mode is way louder than anything you'll generally experience during normal usage, I know from experience).
  So it may not be so simple as a hard-working cpu process kicking the fans on.

  Hi I have a 20" G5 imac it's about 18 months old and I am having the same problem, It freezes and the fan runs really loud. It's nothing to do with software as my I.T. guy has done a complete re-install. All of our admin people have imacs of differring ages and the flat panels are all OK but every one of the G5s has had a booting problem. Some fell into the recall for replacement logic boards but the one I have at home is the newest and doesn't. I'm waiting for my apple reseller to get back to me, but it looks like it's the logic board and as none of the serial numbers fall into the recall, I'm expecting a big bill. I'm really disappointed as I've been a professional apple user for over 15 years and have grown to expect a certain amount of honesty and integrity from them. Looking at all of the discussion boards and the amount of people complaining of the same problem the logic boards are defective and apple should be replacing these free of charge.

  Kensall,
  Welcome to Apple Discussions!
  As in the other thread I wrote:
  Being from England, you may find the repair program under these pages:
  http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
  http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/
  Check both of them as they refer to different models.
  If neither of yours is under the program, please start a new topic thread so someone can help you.

  First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

  I am having a very similar problem. My G5 imac has already had the logic board replaced from the leaking capacitor problem. 8 mos. later the power supply was replaced under the second recall program when it failed to start up.
  It had been working now for almost a year, when about 3 mos. ago I started to experience the sudden dimming effect - if the display was untouched the screen would dim about 30% similar to a laptop in energy save mode. I checked and none of these types of options were set in the pref panes. At the same time I would have the iMac go to sleep after a while from non-use, and then when I tried to wake it it would stir for a few seconds and then go right back to sleep. It took 2-3 attempts to wake it up.
  Then last week, as I tried to wake it, it just shut down instead completely. I had to hold the power button down to recycle it to get it to come back to life (3 times).
  Today was it - I found what I thought was a sleeping iMac, but it will not power up at all. I opened the back cover and the power supply is working, but I cannot get the board to energize, I reset the PMU, but the #2 LED won't even blink. It is completely dead.
  Basically every time I used this computer I held my breath that it would not work. After 2 recalls I still only get 9 mos. out of it? Apple is really starting to show it is like the "big" computer makers, the quality is going right down the tubes.

  I wonder if it would do what you're asking if we didn't put anything in the comment box?  I'll try that.
  I had been leaving a placeholder and filling in that comment in for now just to reinforce the idea that people should watch where they're posting in the first place.  I wasn't planning to keep doing that once things are firmly established here, and we don't leave a trail of breadcrumbs at TPF any more when we move something.  It's just clutter.
  OK, I tried not putting a comment in, and it didn't change anything.  I did find out that I can delete the placeholder, though, without deleting the moved thread.  In phpBB, deleting the placeholder dumps the whole thread.  I think that's an improvement from Lithium over phpBB.

• Newbie - help with a SQL query for a bar chart  - Originally posted in APEX

  I originally posted this in the APEX forum but someone there suggested this is more of a SQL question.  Anyone out there who can provide some assistance?
  Hi,
  I'm a new user on APEX with no real SQL knowledge and I'm trying to build a dashboard with charts into an existing APEX application. Based on another application, I have come up with the following SQL code:
  select null link
  , CATEGORY label
  , count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'1',PROJECT_ID))"Active"
  , count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'2',PROJECT_ID))"Complete"
  , count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'3',PROJECT_ID))"On Hold"
  , count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'4',PROJECT_ID))"Pipeline"
  , count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'5',PROJECT_ID))"Pending Review"
  from GRAPO_PROHEADTRK
  where (PROJECT_STATUS='1' or PROJECT_STATUS='2' or PROJECT_STATUS='3' or PROJECT_STATUS='4' or PROJECT_STATUS='5' or PROJECT_STATUS='6')
  group by CATEGORY
  Order by COUNT(PROJECT_ID) DESC
  The code from the other app was:

  , count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Active',PROJECT_ID))"Active"
  , count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Complete',PROJECT_ID))"Complete"
  , count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'On Hold',PROJECT_ID)) "On Hold"

  I'm getting a "Failed to parse SQL query!" error when I try to run validation.
  Is this enough info for some assistance? Any help would really be appreciated.

  It's curious that the WHERE clause includes "PROJECT_STATUS='6'", but there is no pivoted column for project_status='6', like there is for '1' through '5'. That's not necessarily a mistake, and it wouldn't raise an error in any case.
  Instead of
  where (PROJECT_STATUS='1' or PROJECT_STATUS='2' or PROJECT_STATUS='3' or PROJECT_STATUS='4' or PROJECT_STATUS='5' or PROJECT_STATUS='6')you could say
  where PROJECT_STATUS  IN ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6')but that probably has nothing to do with your current problem.

  I'm getting a "Failed to parse SQL query!" error when I try to run validation.Is that an Apex error message? Sorry, I don't know anything about Apex.
  If you can't get a more specific error message from Apex, then try debugging this statement in SQL*Plus. When you get it fixed, then you can copy it back into Apex.
  If this is a SQL problem, then you should be able to re-create the problem in pure SQL.
  If you can't re-create the problem in pure SQL, then it's probably an Apex problem, and belongs in the Apex forum, not here.
  I don't see anything obviously wrong with your code, but I can't tell if, for example, you spelled a column name wrong, or if something has the wrong data type
  Is this enough info for some assistance? Any help would really be appreciated.It wiould be better if you posted a completE script that people could run to re-create the problem, and to test their ideas.
  Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
  Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
  Always say which version of Oracle (and any other software, such as Apex) you're using.

• Why is it Adobe has over 6000 posts in this forum that they are completey ignoring.

  Why is it that Adobe has over 6000 posts on this web site and obviously Adobe(who has taken my computer hostage}, has done nothing to rectify this situation. They have placed a botched up piece of software out for distribution and have done absolutely nothing for the consumer who unknowingly tried to use it. I for one would like to see some sort of response from Adobe. Are they working on this? Are they going to send us something so the can get 9.3 uninstalled? What?... And by the way, I think you have some program developers that should be looking for another field of work... just a thought..... this was neither developed properly nor was it tested thoroughly. It should never have been sent out for use. And now no doubt there are hundreds of thousands of consumers sitting at home not knowing what to do. Many probably going out and buying new computers becasue they don't realize it is a program issue. Shame, shame, Adboe.... Now you are right up there with WOW

  Ok.
  A. This is not an avenue to contact Adobe. It's a user to user forum. Just people helping other people.
  B. Many post get ignored for many reasons (mostly due to lack of information from the original poster). I'm pretty sure there aren't 6000 post from people with the exact same issue as you.
  C. The odds of hundreds of thousands of people having a certain issue is a little blown out of proportion don't ya think? I mean, out of 6 sytems, I'm having problems with zero of them. I'm sure there are others like me.
  So, maybe we can all calm down here, explain the problem you are having (be sure to include all details even if you think it doesn't matter) and maybe one of us "users" can give you a hand?

• Trying to install SL on a new hard-drive for my iMac, when asked which disk to install on it gave me no options, i followed advice from another forum and created a partition, now can't boot from the new drive at all. Help?

  I've had **** with my iMac, the hard-drive failed so i replaced it with a new 1TB Samsung drive. Then when i tried to install SL from the install disk, all went to plan until it asked me which drive i wanted to install it on, where it came up with a box where my options should have been, but instead it didn't give me any options to install it on any drive i.e. it asked which drive i wanted to install it on but no drives came up to select.
  So i followed the advice from another forum, look at the 'Extended Hard-drive preparation' response
  ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/10576009#10576009 )
  After following these instructions i have now got a new partition, but when i restarted my computer to install SL on the drive, the option to boot from the drive is now not available, now i must boot from the install disk, whereas before i was able to boot from either the install disk or the hard drive. The hard drive is still visible in disk utility as it always has been, but i am now unable to boot from it, let alone install SL.
  Please help my iMac has been broken for months and i've been trying to fix it for so long and am getting problem after problem. Thank you!

  That off the shelf MS-DOS / FAT-32 drive needs to re-partitioned GUID Partition Table / Mac OS Extended (Journaled) before you can install OS X and Startup your Intel iMac from it.
  1. Boot from your original install or retail SL DVD and open Disk Utility.
  2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
  3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
  4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
  5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
  6. Once thats done, then you can do a clean SL Install, Restore from TM , your old HD or  Bootable Clone.

• "You do not have permission to post in this forum"

  I have another account that cannot do anything much at all, and I would like to get it fixed without a five day wait for a Genius Bar appointment, then a 1 hour bus trip each way with an "I can't help with that" in the middle.
  The account has been broken for over a year.  This is what happens:
  I can submit a question to the community.
  I can open any postings that show as matches.
  If there are no matches and I get thrown to the list of communities, then I can't view or post to any of them.  I see the product names and icons (iPad, for example, but the list of related communities on the right is missing for all products.  Which seems unfair because I own most of them.
  You do not have permission to post to this forum
  It appears you are not allowed to view what you requested.  You might contact your administrator yadda yadda.
  I have posted about this before:
  https://discussions.apple.com/message/17393255#17393255
  with no real answer (a threat of possible help, if you like, but with no resultant benefit.)
  My question is - how does one get help with the help forums?  I have phoned Apple's help desk and they said they could not do anything.
  I would really like to get my primary account working - it connects to the right email address, it all set up and comfortable - and it does not use my name and location as an alias (who's idea was that?  Fire that person!)
  If you know of any court of appeal, help desk support forum support line, 21-step program or anything else that might help, please tell me.  This has gone on long enough.
  I tried to do something about this from the other account but to get support for the support communities you have to be able to post to them.
  "That's some catch, that Catch-22"
  "It's the best there is."
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Seventy-one -  To my knowledge, I have been a model citizen.  And not impertinent of you at all - a very reasonable question.  All words have been 1-3 or 5+ letters long, I certainly have not received any communication (that I have been able to find) that indicates a transgression.  And there is another question - which castle, and are you saving for the deposit?
  Bleach  - other user name is "Ploughguy".  But I was more after a means of contacting those with influence myself.  Most fora like this have a contactable moderator or administrator.  I am rather amazed that one needs the intercession of the saints.  Such as St Roger...
  Roger - This situation.  The "can't look-can't post" situation.  It has been (not) happening for some time.
  I previously raised the issue here .
  BTW, I created yet another ID because I was not careful enough when I set up the second ID and it defaulted to "NameFromSuburb".  This is OK for johnfromnewyork but a huge privacy risk if you are ranulffromlittlestorpingintheswuff - an unusual name in a small place.  I do not know how that default got through the peer review. Basically it says "ranulf has the good taste to own an Apple something which is portable and fenceable, and he lives not far from here".  I have suggested to the privacy people that it is a very bad idea.  And yes, I realise my alias is already out there.  I have asked the privacy people to blow it away.

• Posted in another section with no reply perhaps this is the right area...

  Hey!
  I need major help, this is what I posted in another section...and still haven't got a reply!
  "Just got my 1GB nano yesterday. Being a forum addict had to get on here to get help with my problem.
  On Saturday night, I had no problems opening iTunes or tranfering music, all this started Sunday night.
  Exhibit A:
  This is the error report Windows gives me when I click on my itunes shortcut:
  Exhibit B:
  When I send the error report, this is the message I get:

  hiya!
  i'm finding it a bit difficult to read the precise message on that second screenshot. (the one about the DLL.) would you mind posting back again with the text?
  (it's actually not a message i'm familiar with in this context, but it seems like the most sensible place to start our investigations.)

• Original posting date after releasing in ea05

  Hello all,
  When you release an outsorted print document in Transaction EA05, a dialog box appears in which you enter the posting parameters that are required for the release process.
  the number of the original print document, posting date, and document date for example are changed.
  How can I know what the original data were? for example, what was the original posting date before releasing?
  I will appreciate any help.
  Thank you very much.
  Hussam.

  Hello Ravi,
  The user wants to check what was the original posting date before releasing the document in EA05.
  event will not help. is there another way?
  pay attention that the user released the print document, and during the process of the releasing he changed the posting date.
  and after he finished the process of relesaing he wants to check what was the posting date before he released.
  thanks...
  Hussam.

  neat new toys afoot!
  right below this post is a reply of mine to the OP tjonathan... in it are some 'missing screenshots'. "Picture 5" and "Picture 6" links are in my field of view as I type this. Click 'em and gear happens then nuthin. Notice they are .png files. Has anyone in the disappearing images conversations even tried to associate file types as culprits?
  Ooops! Time to stand up and move to the coffee pot! (no iPhone required)

  here's another try... twice actually... the first is Pic2.png - see it?
  LINK to original post with missing images == https://discussions.apple.com/message/26570663?ac_cid=tw123456#26507487
  Next, same image but Save As JPG in Preview = Pic2.jpg == see it?
  LINK TO original post w/ missing images = https://discussions.apple.com/message/26570663?ac_cid=tw123456#26507487
  For clarity, I am on a powerBook g3/500 Pismo, OS X 10.4.11, browser is TenFourFoxv31.1.0
  It is clear that I am seeing all images except the ones in the OriginalReply, since I can take all these -
  Today, the shots were taken and annotated with a FireFox add-on called "Awesome Screenshot" - only works on web pages though.
  It is a certainty that the missing ones I (don't) observe were taken with System CMD+4, evidenced by the filename Picture 5.png (and Picture 6.png).
  i.e., same file 'type' but different method - separated by several days of image funkiness all over ASC.
  Do you remember the fone pics of the DOS display that started this conversation? Filetype that is default for a fone?
