Post RSD Repair!-Running Great!!!

So I was having the random shutdown thing, and I took it to the Apple store and they sent it out on Monday September 11th. It got to the Repair Depot the next day and waited there until September 19th for the parts. It got repaired on the 20th and I got it back on the 21st. I got lucky I guess because I didn't have to wait very long at all. After I got it back I turned it on and to my suprise, they didn't wipe my harddrive. Later on in the afternoon after doing some software updates to it, OSX asked me to restart and I did, but when it started up again, it had a bunch of colored lines on it. I called the Apple store in Austin and they told me to reset the PRAM (whatever that is) and it worked. I'm happy to have my computer back since I really needed it to do my schoolwork, but you would think that they would have fixed everything. I think they replaced the Logic Board, Heatsink, Top Case, and Bezel. The top case feels alot nicer and I am now longer afraid to rest my palms on it. The ONLY problem that I have is that the bezel is unattached at one spot and it is kind of annoying. Like, it looks normal, but if i put my nail underneath the tiny gap, I can pull it out at least a couple of centimeters. There is probably a really quick fix to this and I'll just take it to the apple store some time. To everybody still waiting for their computer, just hang in there because the machine runs so much better afterward!

yay!

Post rsd repair noise

I just got my macbook back after 9 days at the local mac superstore. It wasn't easy to get any progress info, but once the part came in, they were pretty fast. They replaced the heatsink and logic board, as well as the battery and ac adapter. It seems like it is all back to normal except this annoying sound that comes and goes. It sounds a bit like static. Also, I must have had a really bad battery because now it shows like 5 hours of battery time, where before was more like 2. My serial number no longer shows in profiler...any way to correct that? Pre-fix, I had RSD and battery that wouldn't charge and wasn't recognized by computer.

yay!

Has Anyone Been Charged for the RSD Repair?

In all the talk about the MacBook's RSD (Random ShutDown) problems, I haven't read anything about a repair fee. It always struck me as a faulty unit that Apple was fixing to make it as it should be. (That is, the "problem" isn't a result of anything the user did.)
When I dropped off my MacBook at my local Apple Store, it was quickly checked by someone at the Genius Bar. He confirmed that it was shutting down (mine does it pretty consistently) and set up a repair to replace the Heatsink Kit. I signed the work order and left the store.
Once I got home and read the work order more carefully, I see that there are prices listed for the parts and labor (the total adds up to $149.06). But next to that it says "Amount Due," and it says $0.00.
I just want to verify that I won't need $150 with me when I pick up my MacBook. Has anyone had to pay for their RSD repairs?

My heat sink was also replaced but the next day the computer refused to boot...only a frozen screen with a million stripes of colored lines. I took it back to authorized reseller and they reset PRAM and upgraded to 10.4.8 operating system and charged me nearly $200 usd! I've been arguing with Apple Norway (I live in Oslo) and the authorized reseller. They blame each other and no one refuses to reimburse me. Reseller says, "Apple Care does not cover software issues. It was a software problem. Go talk to Apple."
I posted on this forum too:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=695953&tstart=0
So be careful of a frozen screen or any other software problems!

Hello, I have an apple Mac Pro. It is an older machine but I just had the Apple Store install a new drive with OSX 10.6.8. It runs great but I need to load software. Will it run CS4 Design Standard? Or, will I need CS5.

Hello, I have an Apple Mac Pro Laptop. It is an older machine but I just had the Apple Store install a new hard drive with OSX 10.6.8. It runs great but I need to load software. Will it run CS4 Design Standard? Or, will I need CS5. This machine can't run 10.7.

Hi There,
As per CS5.5 Design Standard release notes it can run on 10.6.8.
Kindly try to install in and share the results so that we can assist you if needed.
Please find the download link in my previous post.
Thanks,

The Output Post-processor is running but has not picked up this request

Hi
We are getting the following error when running an XML Publisher report in 11.5.10
The Output Post-processor is running but has not picked up this request.
We have checked that the SQL query in the data template works fine. Also, the XML output if we remove the template looks fine. The XML data and template also work fine when merged manually in MS WORD, and also if we create a Java class and run the XDO classes explicitly.
In Manage Concurrent Managers, the OPP seems to be running fine.
How can we debug this issue in an acceptance test environment without sysadmin access?
The problem does not occur in other enviroments.
I think this is not the error described in MetaLink Note 352518.1. This is the ONLY XML Publisher report in the system, so the OPP cannot be busy with other reports, and it is not giving the processing timeout error message (so case 2 is out of question).

You can change the logging level of the OPP to statement to see more detail in the log file
(One problem we have is if you are running of a shared APPL-TOP environement where the conc manager job has to run on the physical node)

AFAR test run showing the values but not posting in Real run.

Hi Friends,
i have an issue with AFAR recalculating the depreclation. The details are as below;
1. Asset value date is 15.07.2010. but ordinary dep. start date was set as 01.01.2010 manually by the user.
2. The Period control method 11, the dep. is calculated for entire year for acquisition.
3. we have already calculated depreciation from period 12 2010 to period 04, 2011.
4. Now, we have changed ordinary depreciation start date for 5 asset records from 01.01.2010 to 15.07.2010.
5. Therefore, we recalculated AFAR for these assets for 2010 and test run is showing the values for these 5 asset. The same was expected by the business.
6. When we execute the real run, it is not posting and no change in asset explorer for period 12, 2010 or in current period. No error message is available in spool / job log.
We have opened FI periods as well.
My question is that why the system calculating the values in test run and if it is calculated in test run, why it is not posting in update run?
As per the period control method, the depreciation should not recalculated for half year even we change the ordinary dep,start date from 1st Jan to 15th July.
I request you to clarify my doubt and help me to understand the error which is stoping the values in update run of AFAR.
Best Regards,
Padmaja

Hi,
Sorry...it is not worked out. Alternatively, i tried the shift factor with variable depreciation and i achieved the values which appeared in AFAR test run.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Padmaja

Power PC G5 Freezing/Crashing, then after restart, running great for HOURS.

I have an old PPC G5 Dual 2.5 with 5 Gigs of RAM, and the Delphi Liquid Cooling system, running OSX 10.5.8.
It will ALWAYS freeze within 20 minutes of startup, and have to be hard-shutdown. After it is restarted, it runs GREAT for HOURS. I can mix a 40-channel Pro Tools session forever, and no crashes, nothing. After it's shut down for a few hours, over night, etc., I'll start it up, and FREEZE. THe freeze is usually accompanied by the fans gradually ramping up until they're full speed. I'm surprised it doesn.t start to move.
What the ****? Why the initial freeze followed by incredible stability?
Please, someone help me without telling me to "clean it" or "replace the processors". The thing runs FLAWLESSLY after the initial freeze.
I find this to be incredibly odd. I have a Mac Pro now and am trying to sell this G5, but would like to resolve this freeze problem first.

No idea on Best Buy's prices.
Couple of resets, but I wouldn't do either yet, seems were on to a different problem now...
Does it boot into Open Firmware with CMD+Option+o+f ?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42642
reset-nvram (press Enter)
set-defaults (press Enter)
reset-all (press Enter)
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
But I suspect AT&T may have been refer to a Modem/Router reset.
I also seem to be missing two 256MB sticks of memory sometimes. Could it be Bad RAM?
Could be bad RAM, but with the "sometimes I think it's the Lead-free solder issue.
If you're sure the RAM is good, try the Hair Dryer trick...

Should I upgrade to Macericks now from 10.6.8 on my i-Mac(mid 2007, core 2 duo?). Will Mavericks be more secure than 10.6.8 ? 10.6.8 has been great, it runs great with all my apps but am concerned about future supportibility?

Should I upgrade to Mavericks now from 10.6.8 (i-Mac, mid 2007, core 2 duo)? Will Mavericks be more secure than 10.6.8 ? I have the latest version of 10.6.8 and have upgraded my memory to 4GB. This could be one reason for me to make the move now.
10.6.8 has been great, it runs great with all my apps but am concerned about lack of support now. I know my PC apps will not work but maybe some apps that work now will "walk away" from 10.6.8 and then there's the security question of above.
I am also concerned about iPhoto 9 transition to i-Photo 11 and compatibility of my Time Machine WD Passport HD (format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) based on several questions in applicable forums.
Thanks for your help in this important decision!

If I were you I would stick with Snow Leopard. It's much better suited to your old hardware. That said:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I have upgraded my MAC OS to 10.6.8. FCP 5.0 still runs great, but Soundtrack Pro 1.01 opens, but operates at a glacial pace. It does not functionally operate. What can be done to remedy this?

Depending on the configuration of the computer hardware and software
you may need to consider upgrade the RAM by installing more capacity.
Also, in the same vane, choose to consider upgrade the hard drive to
one of faster transfer, such as SSD, hybrid, or fusion; if not already at
least 7200-RPM and not too full of saved content.
Since no information is given about the model build configuration of Mac
there may be other suggestions to make it work better. Usually an OS X
upgrade requires one to look at the hardware resources available to it.
The OS X works best with more memory: new higher capacity chips.
This may be possible, and they should be high quality from reputable
vender who has tested them on Apple in OS X, such as OWC or Crucial.
Good luck & happy computing!

Park and Post for Depreciation Run - AFAB

Hello Experts,
We have around 15,000 assets in our company code. We have requirement that, asset management team will check the depreciation and execute the depreciation for all 15000 depreciation. However at this time, FI postings should not be available.
Later the finance team will re-check the depreciation on test check basis and post it to FI. Trial balance will be updated.
In short, I require park and post for depreciation run in SAP.

Hi Meena,
You can verify planned depreciation in Asset report S_ALR_87011990 and do not tick depreciation posted check box and give report date as the last date of the month you want to verify.
It will give depreciation planned details up to the month in the field dep for the year.
After verifying this you can run AFAB then check the same T code and this time tick depreciation posted check box. Now it will give you depreciation posted.
There is no parking concept in Asset module.
Hope it solves.
Regards,
GSR

Same machine, running bootcamp, photoshop runs great on windows 7 but laggy on Mac OSX mavericks

Dont know why this is happening but on mac OSX mavericks photoshop CS6 and photoshop CC 2014 run laggy. 2014 is even worse than CS6. I tried both Yosemite and downgraded to mavericks to see if it would help and it didn't. If I draw a rectangle on a layer and drag it around, it jumps around the screen rather than being smooth. On the same computer Im running bootcamp Windows 7 and CC 2014 runs great on there so its something on the mac side. Any ideas on what this is? It can't be drivers for mavericks at this point because its been out for over a year now I think they would have fixed it.

My macbook runs great until..

so i have a 2.0ghz macbook with 2gb of ram
if i don't have much open it runs like a champ.. super fast.. like just safari and ichat
but if i put in a cd.. and have itunes on (playing from an external hard drive).. and a couple other programs in it slows down big time.. slightly freezing (as in showing the colored wheel and freezing for like 5 or 10 seconds).. and i understand normal slow downs but its not just that.. if i eject the cd or close everything but the small stuff again its still completely messed up.. like only ichat and safari are open again and they continue to freeze and such.. and that goes on until i restart..
i was looking at a system monitoring widget and i can't tell anything really crazy.. processor is less than 70% all that time even when the "big stuff" was open.. and ram was never completely used.. and the temperature.. well the temperature gets hot but its not conistent enough to make me think its the temperature.. it will get really hot but still runs great
also i ran the hardware test from the install cds.. nothing..
could this be hardware related? my 14 days is up tomorrow so im not sure what to do :/
any ideas?

Thank you so much, Mr. Curtis! I'm not sure exactly how that worked, but it allowed me to get back on both AE and Premiere Pro. 10 points to you!
Also, for the other people that may have similar problems and are viewing this forum, definitely try this out. Listen to Jim's advice, don't use the most recent version (which is currectly 5.5.47) - instead try a slightly older one. The one I had installed was version 5.5.24.
Once again, thank you! You saved my project!

Macbook 2ghz - Upgrade install, runs great

My Macbook 2ghz (upgraded install), runs great. It's faster and the best thing is that it finds and connects to the wifi as quick as you can open safari. My G5's are getting there now, but they had clean installs.
Love the screen share it's much faster than ARD. I also like the way you can have a little fun a remote screen a mac and that mac remote screen you, in an endless mirror effect. Link:
http://screencast.com/t/QCyoYt0yUF
It's been a whole weekend of installs so far and it's not over yet.

Very sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Processor Name would have to be Core 2 Duo for it to be able to use 802.11n
Core Duo machines do not have 802.11n compatible cards.
It is possible to upgrade them though.
Sorry and best of luck.

Why is Firefox running super slow and IE runs great? New details 03/29

Fire Fox was running great, and then for some reason, it starting runnning extremely slow. When I type it is slow to appear on the screen, ads from websites are jerky, and even the circle spins slowly for every web load/refresh. I went as far as uninstalling Fire Fox to include favorites and associated data, re-downloading and installing. This did not help either. I had to use IE to even ask for help, its that bad. AVG Virus scan and AVG PC tune up fixed problems and several reboots did not help. Did not crash. Please help, I dont like IE.

I had same problem. At least in my case it's due to Nvidia Graphics Card using 3D rendering feature.
When I played videos on YouTube Firefox was loading these DLL:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\Nv3DVStreaming.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvSCPAPI.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvStereoApiI.dll
Disabling Nvidia 3D crap fixes the problem for me!!
