Please help me understand the convergence assistant. (Note: I request, at least, NI Multisim support in addressing this issue. Thank you.)

The way that simulation works is a set of nodal equations is constructed, and then the variables of those equations are solved, including the variables requested by the user, such as via the scope or meters, or as probes in the various analyses. That said, if any of the variables of the equations diverges (rather than converges to a solution) there is a convergence error and the simulation fails. With Multisim v10 (and beyond?,) when a simulation fails, a "Convergence Assistant" (CA) feature becomes active, upon the user's request, to see if any simulation parameters can be adjusted such that convergence can be had. One of the first things the CA does is it reruns the simulation in order to verify the failure, for the failure should occur again if there is a problem that could be solved, right?
So here's my question. What does it mean when the CA can't repeat the error so the CA fails to be able to even have a chance to correct things? Does it mean that there is something unstable about the circuit? That seems to be a reasonable conclusion to draw from such a failure. In other words, does it mean that something within the circuit in question has a random (indeterminant) element to it, such that the CA, given the same starting conditions, doesn't arrive at the same spot as the original divergence error?
If this is the case, this random idea, what sorts of things in a circuit could cause this?

I'm not 100% sure of my answer here, but I believe Multisim may change the way initial conditions are determined when it tries to repeat the convergence error. I don't think it is something repeated because the behaviour of the circuit has a random element.

Need help in understanding the error ORA-01843: not a valid month - ECX_ACT

Hello All,
We need help in understanding the Transaction Monitor -> Processing Message (error "ORA-01843: not a valid month - ECX_ACTIONS.GET_CONVERTED_DATE").
And how to enable the log for Transaction Monitor -> Processing Logfile.
Actually we are trying to import the Purchase Order XML (OAG) into eBusiness Suite via BPEL Process Manager using the Oracle Applications Adapter. The process is working fine with expected payload until it reaches the XML Gateway Transaction Monitor, where we are getting this error.
thanks

I bought my iPhone 4 in Hong Kong and I am in Vancouver right now. When I enter the sim card, it locked my iPhone. Is there any way to solve this? Thank you

Inserting a SIM card does not lock a phone.
If the device is carrier locked, the only way to unlock it is to contact the carrier to whom it is locked.

Could you please help me understand the logic behind certain things in OSX?

Ok, so I try to be an open-minded guy, and I bear no particular allegiance to either OS. I own a Sony TZ and a Mac mini, and my wife has a MacBook Pro. I use both Oses.
There are certain things I have trouble understanding in th Mac OS, so what I'd really like to understand the logic behind certain design decisions in the OS, and why these might be better ways of accomplishing things. I know how to get around all of the things I mention, so I'm not looking for instructions; rather I'm looking for well-thought out explanations for why these features are the way they are.
*1. Programs don't quit when you close the window.*
- This totally puzzles me. Why design it so that program windows are independent are from the running program itself? There must be a reason, cold someone explain how this is more efficient? To me, it's simpler to click an X on the window you are working on to completely shut down a program, rather than to either mouse through menus to select quit, or be obligated to using Command Q keyboard shortcut.
*2. Menu bars are on the desktop.*
- Related to the first point, why make the main thing framing your desktop be something which is always changing depending on the program? Why have file menus outside the main window of the program. Having the menu bar on the desktop then necessitates an additional area, the dock, which has to be used as a launch bar and to tell you what programs are currently running. That obligates you to having 3 different areas of screen: 1 for program menus, 1 for running programs, and the program window itself. This seems very inefficient to me. Not to mention all the messy-looking floating palettes all over the place, again because everything is separated and not nicely contained in a single program window.
- Really, having a changing menu bar that frames the desktop isn't even consistent wth the whole desktop metaphor, which is that you place things on a desktop, like programs, files, etc. Are you changing the whole desk everytime you load a new program, yet the wallpaper stays the same? Doesn't seem to be logically consistent to me.
*3. No delete key.*
- This one really gets me. Why make such a commonly used key be a function key (Fn + Backspace)? Why make the user press a secondary key for a major function?
*4. No Cut command.*
- I read something about how Cut doesn't actually make sense when moving files around, but I obviously didn't fully understand it. Why make the user command drag, when you can just do Ctrl X??.
*5. Launching Apps from the Finder.*
- This seems weird to me, that you find and launch applications from the same thing you use to view files. Program icons in the finder are placeholders for the entire program, not files, yet they are found in the file viewer. Again, to me this seems logically mixed. I really dislike scrolling through Finder to look for apps. I know there is Spotlight and the dock (used as a quicklauncher), but these are really just workarounds for a setup which seems inherently illogical. To me at least, a menu of applications make more sense, ie, the start menu.
Anyway, those are all I can think of now, although there are other things aout OSX that don't make sense to me.
Thanks in advance! If I can understand Apple's reasoning and it is convincingly better, that will go a long way towards making me more comfortable with this OS.

1. Programs don't quit when you close the window.
That's really more a matter of what you're used to. It comes down to a programming decision as to what Apple and Microsoft considered to make sense. MS thinks that if there are no open windows, you're done using the app. Apple thinks you aren't necessarily done yet, as others have mentioned. I certainly wouldn't want Photoshop to quit every time I closed the last open image I was working on. Would be nice though if Safari would quit when I close the last open browser window. It's quick to relaunch if you really weren't done with it, so wouldn't be much of a bother to have it shut down with the last window.
2. Menu bars are on the desktop.
Makes way more sense the Microsoft's approach of repeating the same file menu on every open document in a program. How many places do you need to see File, Options and other common menu headings?
2. Menu bars are on the desktop.
Related to number two. The forward app is the only one you can directly work in, so why not have the menu bar change to reflect the choices for that application? When you go back to the previous app you were in, the menu bar changes back. So what loss of functionality is there? It comes back to not having menu bars on every single open window. There's no need or purpose for it.
3. No delete key.
Backspace does the same thing.
4. No Cut command.
Command+X, not Ctrl+X. This is Mac, not Windows. There's also very little need to ever do this from the keyboard. If you're moving files that are on the same drive/partition, then just drag and drop from the target folder window to the source. It's automatically a move. If going from one physical drive or partition to another, it's automatically a copy. Press and hold the Command key during the drag to make it a move.
Besides, you don't really think Windows cuts the entire folder or file contents into RAM, do you? If your computer has 4 GB of RAM, and you cut 12 GB of data, it of course can't possibly fit in the clipboard. All Windows does when you do a cut is visually remove the files and folders from the screen. If the items are going to a location on the same drive/partition, it does the same thing as if you did a drag and drop move. The file table is simply updated to reflect the new file or folder locations. If it's to a different drive/partition, it then performs a copy then delete action, same as OS X.
5. Launching Apps from the Finder.
A program is just as much a file as any other file. It takes up space on the drive. The OS of course knows what to do with it when you double click an app. Same as it knows what to do when you double click a document related to an app. Windows is no different. An .exe file is also just as much a file as a .doc file. The .exe extension tells Windows to try and treat it as a program to load into RAM. It's not just a simple placeholder. The program has to be made up of something.

I no longer see my WD passport on the desktop and the time machine no longer backs up. What can I do to fix this? Thank you

I haven't had my iMac backed up in quite awhile because my WD passport is not being recognized. I went to disk utility to set it up again, but get the message "No configured AirPort base stations have been found." I've even did the simple thing of turning off my machine, unplugging the WD passport and then replugging it in after a rebooting. Nothing! What have I done to mess this up and can it be fix? Thank you for any help you can give.
I wasn't sure what info you might need:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11GB63b)
Processor GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz Ram
WD Passport for Mac 1T

Is the WD drive plugged into the Mac directly or into the Airport??
If it is in the airport.. unplug it and plug it back into the Mac.. you cannot use Disk Utility on remote drives.
The WD could be dead.. Disk utility should show you.

TS3474 The ipod display will not orient when turn...picture will move when turned. Thank you.

I've reset the ipod nano..downloaded the software again and still the display will not turn when the ipod is turned. I don't know what else to do. Does this ipod need to be sent back to Apple? It's 6 months old. Any other suggestions? It's a 6th generation nano bought as a bundle with a armband and changer for Christmas 2011from Best Buy.

So you placed two fingers such as your thumb and index finger in a pinchlike fashion on the Nano's display and turned them clockwise and counterclockwise and nothing happened?
If so, you have a hardware issue, meaning you'll want to have the iPod serviced or replaced.

Mediainfo wont give me the Max Bit Rate Capability all the time. Is there other information I can use to convert to obtain this? Thank you

Below is the information I received from Mediainfo. Is there a way I can figure out the the maximum Bit Rate Capability with this? Lately I have have had movies stop half way through and I think I think the MBPS is too large on some of them. On some moveies Mediainfo will give me the MBPS.
Thank you

Hi, I just watched the video for the Microcell and you have to use your broadband connection to get it to work and the problem is my broadband connection is down the times I'm using my 3G. That's why I use it, because my broadband connection is not working so much of the time.
Any other suggestions? :-)

Is it possible to use face time with my iphone4 with 3G when the wi-fi is not avalable

Hi,
The Blurb
The * items message that is at the bottom
*FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a mobile network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or iPad (3rd generation) with mobile data capability. Availability over a mobile network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.

It is not specifically saying it is 4G only phones.
It is not saying it is 3G either.
It is not listing an iPhone 4 (only the 4S)
It seems whether 3G can or cannot or if the iPhone can do 4G and it is available it seems that particular model will not.
