Os 10.6.4 has killed my system
During the update process, the installation hung and I was forced to reset. My system won't boot now and I want to boot into Safe Mode but here's my problem:
I was setting up XP on Bootcamp yesterday and didn't finish the installation. My mac has set itself by default to boot Windows but there is no installation and I cannot install it.
Therefore when I hold shift to launch my Mac into safe mode, it doesn't register and instead trys to find the Windows installation that doesn't exist.
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm completely stuck lol
taxilian,
Your problem was not caused by the 10.6.4 update. It was caused by the damage Disk Utility reported but could not repair. Unfortunately, this kind of damage can go undetected until a large number of changes are made to the file system, progressively doing more damage. Since very little makes more changes at once than an OS update, applying one is a very effective if highly undesirable way of discovering this problem.
It is possible a more powerful utility like Disk Warrior (about $100) can repair the damage but there are no guarantees it can.
The simplest solution is to erase the drive (& the damage along with it) but of course this means you must have a good backup.

Recent Windows 7 Update has killed windows
Help, I run Windows 7 in Bootcamp, recent windows 7 update has killed windows, this is what happens.
Choose to boot to windows - OK
Hit logon screen - OK
Logon - OK
Windows loads, the desktop shows for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank.
The computer is still ON but the screen is blank.
I can boot into safemode OK, but can't run the bootcamp update (that I downloaded from here) in safemode.
I tried a restore point, but the ones before the update create an error, so thats a no go.
My thoughts are that it is a video driver issue, but that doesn't explain how it gets passed logon working OK.
I don't know how to fix this if the only way to update drivers is via an .exe vs the driver files themselves like windows usually likes.You could try this advice from the Windows side.
Startup Repair is a good place to start if your system starts acting up. If you can’t get the Advanced Boot Options screen by hitting F8, you can also access the tools by booting from a System Recovery Disc, or the Windows installation disc. While System Repair might not be able to recover your system in all situations, it’s a great starting point before getting into more detailed recoveries like Restoring from an image or clean install.

10.4.6 Has killed my machine TWICE
Twice I have tried to install 10.4.6 on my 533 MHz G4 and both times I have been locked in never ending start up. In fact, the first time I tried to install this update I think it somehow killed my system drive. I have since switched to a new hard drive and once again it has been killed. After both installs my 10.4 install disk has encountered "errors while installing" even when told to do a clean install and forced me to try again.
I am now looking at a boot screen that has been "booting" for about 2 hours while writing this from my laptop.

How could we do this without killing the system?
If we take in a file through the PI file adapter that has 1 million lines and read it in and process each line as a single transactionu2026 How could we do this without killing the system?
Hi,
>>>How could we do this without killing the system?
which system ? PI could do this if the transactions are small (only one line so very small I guess)
but I'm not sure about the ERP...

I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date to version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?
You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

Error Message from SLD - "Selected client already has a business system..."
I have successfully created and test a File to IDOC scenario from a File system to ERP ECC 6.0 (client 101, system name sapdbt02)
Right now, I creating another File to IDOC scenario for a different file system to the same ERP ECC 6.0
At the SLD, I would need to create two new Techncial System and Two new Business System.
However when I creating a Business system for the ABAP Type for the ERP ECC 6.0, when selected the same client and system name of the first scenario that I have done, I got this error message
"Selected client already has a business system associated, please select a new client or system"
I am puzzled that I would need to a configure a new client for the same system ID for another FIle to IDOC scenario
going to the same ERP system
Please advise.
Best Regards
Freddy NgFor example:-
create business system for R3 system in SLD as suggested by stefan. I assume that u have one R3 system which is either sending or receiving data from XI.
assign the system to ur scenarios, u can use common IDOC/RFC/XI channel for sending data to R3 system.
Separate R3 business system is required incase u have to send data to different R3 system.
If u have different files coming from different File system in that case better to create different business service and use them.

How to find which user has killed a particular job in CPS?
Hi All,

Thanks in Advance.
AvdheshHi Gerben,
Thanks for the reply.
But I noticed when I killed a job and checked in the last modified by option I didn't find my user name there. It was displaying the user who had modified that job definition last time.
Thank you

I have a Droid X with a sandisk 16gb micro sdhc class 4 installed. This card has been in use for about a year and wasnt even half full. I was playing music on thanksgiving and all of a sudden the music stopped. I thought hmm, It must be doing one of its many reboots. It wasnt shut off but was on my home screen and the music player had closed. I went to my music and the songs were still listed. I tried to play one and got the error message that i cannot play this file. I tried again and the songs disappeared and up came "SD Card blank or has unsupported file system" on the top bar. I tried to view files on the card on my phone and on my computer by using an sd adapter with no luck. I popped another card into my phone and it worked with no error message and i could mount and unmount the card and view the picture I took when viewing the new card on my computer. I have a 9 year old daughter who suffers from multiple chronic illnesses and have probably 200 photos on my card of her including an extensive surgery and recovery earlier this year. If a professional can retrieve my photos, I would like to know more. Im coming up on my contracts end and this has me ready to zip up a life vest and get on another boat altogether. I have seen hundreds post about this on boards but I hope this can be resolved. Thanks in advance.
Hi Matt73,
I use my phone to store all my precious moments too and I can just imagine how frustrating it must be to have memory card issues like the ones outlined in your post. I see that you have tried different things to retrieve your files from your memory card to no available. It appears that your SD memory card somehow became corrupted and most likely the data in it is now lost (sorry). While not a common issue, there is always a possibility for memory cards and any other memory device to fail. SanDisk Memory cards carry 5 year warranty, to get a replacement please contact SanDisk at 866-726-3475. Their hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. PT Monday to Friday or by email at [email protected] at your convenience.
I recommend backing up your media (specially pictures) on a regular basis to your computer or to an online service to protect those special memories, I personally have my phone setup to automatically save the pictures I take to my Google account and even if lost my phone I have a copy of all my pictures online. There are several website that allow you to sync your phone to upload pictures automatically. Please consider a similar option going forward.
On a personal note, I hope that your little girl's health improves that all those chronic illnesses are kept under control by your physician; I have 2 kids and I Know what is like when they don't feel well. Have a great day!

Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.
Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install. -
An app requires a later operating system but iTunes indicates phone has latest operating system when I sync with the computer. How do I get latest system if iTunes says I have the latest?
If you have a Verizon iPhone 4, the current version of iOS is 4.2.10. You can not install anything higher at this point. The next release of iOS will most likely be iOS 5.

Ideas for integrate two landscape that individually has one XI system

The central system has no logical system name
I am encountering one error message during configuring the Chnage Request Management in solution manager. As follows.
The central system has no logical system name
Message no. SCDT_DIST034
How do i define it?Hello,
You may define logical system name via Tcode SCC4. Select your client and there is dropbox for Logical System. Click on the dropbox and you may received message "No value.." and ask you if you want to define the new logical system.
Please ensure the rec. logical scheme is : <SID>CLNT<CLNTNO.>
Hope this could help you.
