Podcast Maker and category issues

I have been using Podcast Maker to upload my podcasts (The Hottoycast).
When I launched the app, I saw none of my previous episodes there. I made the mistake of just launching the app a fres as apposed to opening viw the previous file.
Forgetting how it's done I just created a new episode not realising that it would over run the existing lot.
I also changed the category from 'podcasting' to 'hobbies' in the Edit Podcast panel on Podcast Maker.
So I now have only one episode of 'My Podcast' in 'Hobbies'.
When it should be 'The Hottoycast' in Hobbies and there should be five.
My guess is that 'My Podcast' in Hobbies has over run The Hottoycast in Podcasting.
To fix this i decided to go load all five episodes into Podcast Maker and publish all five episodes together in the right category of 'hobbies'.
This will now probably make all five episodes update the RSS feed and they will have todays date as apposed to having the rdate of creation.
Right now I only see 'My Podcast' with The Hottoycast Episode Five.
I also say that in my Itunes Episode one came down.
Will everthing still be ok having uploaded all five epiosdes together? will all five episodes be in the same category? will The Hottoycast override 'My Podcast'
Thanks in advance,
Eamon

Changing the category simply changes the labelling in the feed, much the same as changing data in the subtitle or summary. It won't have any other effect.

IWeb 08 and Podcast Maker

I've recently started making podcasts for a radio station I help out on. Intially what I have done is used Garage Band and iWeb to create a podcast page/feed on my mobile me site. However on submitting this to itunes I could not get the main podcast art to display.
However I then discovered podcast maker, that simplifys the whole process and is generally much more podcast friendly.
What I want to know is if i can replace the Iweb podcast feed with the podcast maker xml without screwing up my webpage and the podcast in the itunes store

You do not need any of those apps to manage your domain.sites2.
1) You can double-click on it to start iweb.
2) Domain.sites2 does not have to be named as such, they can be named anything as long as you keep .sites2 extension:
http://11mystics.com/blog/2007/09/08/how-do-you-manage-multiple-domain-files-for -iweb/
3) You can start a new Domain.sites2 with a simpe AppleScript, see my posts here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6007612
on #3, if it is too much to understand; you can email me at hac<dot>le@sbcglobal<dot>net , I'll send you the AppleScript.
Making a new domain.sites2 is quite important, and a few of you here know that you can not merge your domain.sites2.
And the reason is iWeb2 is loaded with UUIDs and when you duplicate an existing domain.sites2, you will have problems.
Who here wants to know about UUID and iweb?

Podcast App 2.1.2 on Touch 5G - Lag and battery issues

Since updating to the newest version of Apple's own Podcast app, my iPod touch 5g suffers from extreme lag inside the Podcast app only (around almost 1 second for every touch event to be executed) and the battery life has decreased dramatically. Also, listening to 4 hours of audio Podcasts used up around 80% of the battery. My iPod touch is running iOS 7.1.1 and has plenty of storage space left. I have just around a dozen audio Podcast subscriptions and no video subscriptions at all.
Anyone with a similar experience?

Could you be streaming the podcasts vice playing them after downloading the file to the iPod?

Can I make and transfer a back-up of my iTunes from my old computer and add it to my library on my new computer?

I used a transfer cable to copy all my pictures and documents to my new computer over a year ago, but iTunes music would not transfer. I just downloaded iTunes again on the new computer and went through the weeks of spare time to upload my CD collection and have bought a lot of new stuff from the iTunes store. But I would really like to get songs from my old computer as I had a lot of CD's that were lost or stolen and they were on there. My ? is this: If I make a back-up of the library from the old computer, can I load it on the iTunes on the new computer? Will it create a ton of duplicates as I had a lot of the same CD's on the old computer as well? I beleive I had the same apple ID on the old computer if that helps with validating whether or not this is my library or not... Tell me your thoughts and suggestions on how to get my old library merged with my new one with out a lot of duplicates!

That's not the way it works.
Simply copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.
If new content had not already been added to the new computer, it would be a simply matter of moving/copying the ENTIRE iTunes library and then selectively starting iTunes by pointing it to the existing library file.
Since new content has been added, the only thing that can be done is manually copying the content from the old computer. Then in iTunes select File > Add folder to Library.
Playlists will not transfer this way. Apps, Podcast subscriptions, and videos should transfer without any issues.

Podcast / iWeb 08 update issue

I just recently got into podcasting. I have been using Garageband to create and then send to iWeb. I was using iWeb 06 until just recently. I updated to iWeb 08.
In iWeb 06, the podcast showed up in iTunes and you were able to subscribe to it. However, since updating to 08, iTunes can no longer find the podcast. It claims the rss could not be found on the server. Is this because of the update to 08? I noticed a slight change to my website name. Is this the issue?
If so, how do I correct this? Can I just resubmit my entire podcast to iTunes for approval and start all over?
Any help is appreciated.
My podcast is located at: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=321929259

OK, I'll try to unravel this: but I should make clear that I'm running on a certain amount of guesswork here and I can't promise the solution I suggest will work. Give it a try and let me know.
I'm not familiar with iWeb 06, but I suspect that what has happened is that it used a different folder layout: when you upgraded to 08 it changed to the newer folder layout, leaving a redirect from the old address: however there isn't a redirect for the podcast feed (and even if there was it wouldn't work in iTunes) so it's effectively sabotaged you. Nice.
iTunes thinks your feed is at
http://rss.me.com/markandjill/iWeb/SW Miniverse/Star Wars Miniverse/rss.xml
In fact is is now at
http://web.me.com/markandjill/SWMiniverse/Star_WarsMiniverse/rss.xml
What you need to do is to persuade iTunes to change to the new feed. Please read these instructions carefully and carry them out to the letter.
Open your iDisk, and navigate to the Web/Sites/SWMiniverse/Star_WarsMiniverse folder. Look for a file called 'rss.xml' and download it to your desktop.
Drag this file to the TextEdit icon in your Dock (or in the applications folder). You will see your feed. Somewhere in the top few lines - it doesn't matter exactly where as long as it's before the first 'item' tag - add this extra line:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://web.me.com/markandjill/SWMiniverse/Star_WarsMiniverse/rss.xml</itunes:new-feed-url>
(be careful that you don't get a line return in the middle of this - you might get one in your browser display).
Now choose 'save as' and save this as rss.xml - TextEdit will suggest you make this .rss.xml.txt, decline this offer. Make sure the file is called rss.xml and is a plain text file.
Now the tricky bit.
Open your iDisk and try to navigate to the Web/Sites/iWeb/SW Miniverse/Star Wars Miniverse folder. If it doesn't exist you will need to create the new folders as appropriate. Upload the rss.xml file you created there.
Now to check whether this has worked.
Go to the iTunes Store page for your podcast. Click the subscribe button and go to 'Podcasts' in the sidebar.
If it's recognized this feed you should see the episodes listed when you click the disclosure triangle. On the top line - the podcast title - at the right you will see a little 'i' button: click this and you will see the feed address - it should read
http://rss.me.com/markandjill/iWeb/SW%20Miniverse/Star%20Wars%20Miniverse/rss.xm l
(strictly you shouldn't have spaces in file or folder names which is why they are replaced with %20).
If all this is the case you should be good to go: eventually iTunes will update to the correct feed - you should leave the feed you just uploaded there until it does, and it might take a fortnight. You can check by clicking on the 'i' button as before and seeing whether the correct feed URL is displayed.
I'm making assumptions about the way iWeb 06 behaves: if they aren't correct this may not work. If it doesn't please post back and we'll explore another avenue.

I upload a podcast each week using Podcast Maker. When I search the iTunes Store to determine if the most recent one is listed all the podcasts are in random order. This week's is #14; last week's is #1. Any ideas how to correct this? The odd thing is that when you try to subscribe to the podcasts, they are listed in the proper order.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

My Itunes doesn't have a music tab, only apps , podcasts , books and itunesu . Why is this ?

My Itunes has been giving me a lot of trouble. Firstly i havent been able to browse through or see any music in the itunes store , only apps,podcasts , books and itunesU. Secondly I received two itunes gift cards for my birthday and when i tried to reedeem them in the ap store it said invalid codes for both. I proceeded in trying to redeem the cards from my itunes on my computer and it said the country of the itunes account doesnt match the itunes card. I am Jamaican ,and i created my apple ID on my itouch in Jamaica , did that automatically give me a Jamaican account? How can I resolve these issues ?

Adrienne,
Only about a quarter of the iTunes country stores have music, so you are apparently looking at one that doesn't.
Go into the store, and click the little house icon to get to the home page, where you can click on "Change Country." Click on the country you are in, and enter your credit card information.
To make purchases, the address on the card must match the country of the store, and you must be physically in that country at the time of purchase.

Podcast Maker

Hi everyone,
After upgrading to Yosemite, Podcast Maker 1.4.1 no longer works. There is no support for this product as the developer seems to be mia.
I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions on software we can use to generate the rss feed?
Thanks!

RapidWeaver can make podcasts, though it's always been a bit basic - I don't know whether the new version recently issued is any better. There are very few other programs which can do this - unfortunately Podcast Maker is very good but hasn't been updated for some years now and hasn't been reliable either.
WordPress can make decent feeds but is difficult to use - it causes more problems asked about here than all the other methods put together, almost always because the person using it is mis-using it. There are several online services which make the feed for you, though they give you less control and in some cases are impossible to move away from should you want to. Blogger, Podbean and Feedburner are free (the last-named may be in danger of being discontinued); Libsyn is paid-for but has good support. Soundcloud can do it but often produces unsatisfactory results.
You could in theory hand-write the feed, but it is an unforgiving process and even a tiny mistake can wreck the feed. My page here:
http://wilmut.uk/pc
includes a basic sample feed you can use as a template if you want to try it. Note particularly that you must use a plain text editor - TextEdit can be used but it must not be in the default Rich Text mode, and you can't use an ordinary word processor because it will clutter the feed with formatting garbage and render it unusable.

Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440

Hi all,
This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact. I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
Part Description                                           Symptom
IMAGE                                                             Replaced due to engineering change
System board                                                 Network card error
Hard disk drive                                                Network card error
ECA-WIRELESS                                            <no symptom listed>
There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
Windows 8.1
SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
Build 9600
I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
Log Information,
Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm
You have not done a hardware test on your computer
And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
Then, I ran hardware scan again...
Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
64 of them are the disk error.
341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
One of them says {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.
16 are warnings that various processors in Group 0 are being limited by system firmware.
12 say the certificate for local system with thumbprint <bunch of hex numbers> is about to expire or already expired.
108 are warnings for failure to load the driver \Driver\WUDFRd for various devices
16 are application errors
One is for the computer rebooting from a "bug check"
15 are for name resolutions timing out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
10 are for SecureBoot being disabled.
14 for services terminating unexpectedly
15 are for WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
61 are for applications not being able to be restarted because the application SID does not match Conductor SID
12 are for activation of CLSID timing out waiting for the service wuauserv to stop
So, I'll call them on Monday and open. a. new. case (#5?) - but really 7. And get A NEW BOX.
I'll keep you updated!

New Airport Extreme and iPhone Issues

I've had the networking day from ****. I previously had a 3rd Gen Time Capsule at our restaurant, connected to a Cisco 26port gigabit POE switch and Comcast digital voice and internet. Over the past few days, employees have reported trouble accessing the the Wifi network. After several restarts and firmware upgrades (including the dreaded "firmware problem" to fine update), nothing worked. I changed channels, back to auto, back to specific channels, back to auto. Made open guest networks. Nothing worked consistently. My iPhone might connect and my friend's might not. Nor his laptop consistently. Our Axis network cameras might take a bit extra time to connect. All quite random and quite frustrating.
So I swap out an older Airport Extreme (4th gen I believe) using the same configuration as the TC (Time Capsule). It works fine, except for the last port not working as expected. No matter, I plug the mac mini into the Cisco switch and off we go. Nevertheless, I'm still told we are suffering random Wifi issues. So I buy a brand new AE (5th gen) today to replace that one. Should work like a charm I thought. Right....
Several hours later, I finally have the new AE working, but only after doing several hard resets/factory restores, the works. For some reason, the mac mini could not successfully update any of the connected AEs - whether connected directly into the same AE, or if the Mini was connected to the switch. Nothing worked. Every time I tried to update the AE, it would hang and force me to unplug and plug it back in. It would also never save setting changes. I finally resorted to a friend's macbook to be able to restore it successfully. And once that worked, the mini was able to update the AE flawlessly. Our Point of Sales (POS) machines connect fine, our cameras connect fine, wifi printer connects, and the mini connects, and everything has internet.
Except my iPhone 5. Of course. It gets a signal fine (full bars). It gets an IP address. But I can't surf the web. Or download email. Or iMessages. Anything. No internet access. I try hard restarts on my iphone. I try assigning IP addresses by MAC address. I try resetting the AE. I try renaming the WiFi name. Nothing. I can make a guest network that works (on a different IP table, btw - 172, not 192.) But other than that, no access. Grrrr.
So I have a "working" AE router where some devices successfully connect (through wifi and ethernet) and some dont' (wifi iPhone). My iPhone connects fine to my home TC. So shouldn't be anything to do with that. But I'm at a loss. I'm going to go back and restore everything and power cycle everything tonight or tomorrow night. I don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try. Lord knows it feels like I've tried everything else.
Anyone have any good ideas of where to start besides voodoo dolls and baseball bats?

I took mine back, because I was having these very same issues. We use contivity too. I was able to connect only to one of three of the servers we manage (in Europe). I couldn't connect to the servers in Asia or here in the USA.
Replaced the Airport Extreme with my trusty old d-link 624, and no issues connecting to any of the three hubs.
Otherwise, I liked the Airport Extreme, and I'll consider buying it again when and if they address this VPN issue. I work at home so its obviously a "deal breaker" for me.

How to customize Category and Category items list while creating New Model

Hi,
what the most convenient way to customize the Category and Category items list while creating New Model?
This is standard:
Now, what we want to achieve, is to customize this menu, to:
1. Display in the Category window only f.e. two categories:
- EA Diagrams
- BPM Diagrams
2. In the EA Diagrams, we want to have f.e. four copies of City Planning diagram, each of them should have different elements available, f.e. in the first copy, only Architecture Areas shall be made available, in the second one Architecture Areas and Business Functions, in the third on f.e. only Business Functions shall be made available. Additionally, it should behave like a hierarchy ... meaning you can create the second diagram, only as child (related diagram) of the first diagram etc.
I know, excluding the particular diagrams/diagram elements can be configured using the right/profile settings, but how to:
1. Customize the standard New Model menu window
2. Create copies of City Planning Diagrams with different set-ups
3. Set the relationship between diagrams
Is such a configuration change possible?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Rafal

Now, what we want to achieve, is to customize this menu, to:
Question #1. Display in the Category window only f.e. two categories:
- EA Diagrams
- BPM Diagrams
Click on Tools => General Options=> Model Creation
Click on Properties => at right of Default category set
Note : Model template does not work as Category. We can't set. An enchancement request has been open to SAP
In the following example I defined a new default (MyNewDefault.mcc). As you can see only BPMN models are available.
To create a new category set with BPMN choice
a) Copy default.mcc in MyNewDefault.mcc file.
    Go to Tools=>General Options=>Model Creation : Select your new category
    Go to Tools=>General Options=>Model Creation : Edit properties and remove all things you does not want keep
or
b) Go to Tools=>General options=>Model Creation : Edit properties and click on Save as button and specify the file name "MyNewDefault".
    Quit the window.
    Select you new category : Go to Tools=>General Options=>Model Creation : "MyNewDefault"
    Edit properties and remove all things you does not want keep.
    Save you new category
Question #2. How to define copies/replicas of existing diagrams
     Wrote an extension
Question #3. How to make sure, particular diagrams can be used (created) only on predefined "levels" and how to set the parent-child relationship, so that PD enforced it directly when creating a new diagram.
     Specify yours conditons in your extension attached to your model
     Example : When the user want create a child diagram : You can display a list of Parent Diagrams to select from.
     You can set in your extension by VBScript parent-child relationship
Question #4 In the EA Diagrams, we want to have f.e. four copies of City Planning diagram, each of them should have different elements available, f.e. in the first copy, only Architecture Areas shall be made available, in the second one Architecture Areas and Business Functions, in the third on f.e. only Business Functions shall be made available.
If I understand well your question. I suggest to take a look in
Repository=>Administration=>Objects Permission Profile
You can specify objects to show, mask, deactivate at model level.
You can specifiy your own metadata.
But I'm not sure you can mask, deactivate functions following diagram selection. It seem to specific.

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
Crikey!

Libby,
Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
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.

Podcast Producer and Internet Explorer

I've configured Podcast Producer on 10.6.8, and it is working fine - items are processed from the Capture software through to PcP2 and Xgrid, and are then uploaded to a Wiki.
The issue is with clients using Internet Explorer (any version) and their ability to play audio files uploaded from Capture or through the web interface of the wiki. Videos work fine, but whatever code is used to upload just audio files to the wiki cannot be interpreted by IE. I know that 10.6.8 was meant to address some of these issues, but I am just not sure how to proceed.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Cheers
Kieran

Not sure if this will fix your problem, but I was having the same problem until I looked at the specs for XGrid, it has to run on an Intel Mac. This is where you can get the specs:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306737
Here is what is in the doc:
Podcast Capture requirements
Any Mac running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iSight camera (built-in or external) or FireWire DV camcorder
Podcast Producer Server requirements
Any Mac running Mac OS X Server version 10.5 Leopard
Xsan for optional cluster file services
Podcast Producer Xgrid rendering requirements
Any Intel-based Macintosh Server or Intel-based desktop Mac (a Mac Pro, for example)
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or Mac OS X Server version 10.5 Leopard
At least 1 GB of memory (RAM) plus 512 MB of additional RAM per processor core
At least 50 GB of available disk space
Xsan for optional cluster file services
Quartz Extreme-enabled video chipset
Note: Quartz Extreme support can be verified in the Graphics section of Apple System Profiler.
Note: If a system is providing multiple Podcast services (for example, Podcast Producer and Podcast Producer Xgrid rendering), the system needs to meet both requirements.

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

Change in PO Price after goods receipts and goods issue

Dear All,
Happy Holidays!! Wishing you a happy and fun-filled holiday season.
I would appreciate your input of the issue at hand. I support MM users in and Oil & Gas downstream company.
Issue
Purchase Orders are created using price estimates. The price of oil products fluctuates and we usually cannot get the exact price at the point of creation of the PO.
We use Moving Average Price (MAP) for stock valuation and so the price & quantity in the PO affects the moving average price.
We use price estimates to create the PO but when we receive the final price for the oil products from the Supplier, most times there is a significant difference between the estimated price and the final price. Usually, at this point, we have completed all goods receipts and goods issues against the PO and are unable to make changes.
We have an issue posting the invoice because the invoice value is significantly higher than the PO value. We also have an issue with the moving average price because it is understated as a result of this.
To reiterate, this is a summary of the issue:
At the point if PO creation ; Quantity = 10, 000 MT Price = $650
Later when final price is available; Quantity = 10, 000 MT Price = $715
Any advise on how to treat this issue, please? Your assistance will be truly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi All
For my client I have to map the similar requirement for material price which is subject to more than 15% fluctuation. The actual invoice price is having quite a huge difference.
Below are my limitations within which need to give a solution.
PO is subject to release strategy and Material is delivered over a longer duration of time. Hence there is problem to de-Release the PO everytime price is changed.
Since differnce is so huge, the same can not be settled during the MIRO.
Down Payments has to be posted hence PO has to be created with estimated base price.
Please suggest me suitable alternative options which will require no changes in PO and the price change also can be accomodated during the MIRO for Multiple goods receipts.
