Problems in using EFI startup
Hi,
When I press Command+R to restore the computer freezes with the initial picture of the apple. Then I rebooted hold ALT/OPTION key. I can see the hard drives but when I click on Restore driver, the same happens.
I have reinstalled Mavericks and it didn't fix that.
What can I do to make this Restoration function work again?
My Mac is MacBook Pro 8,1, 13", later 2011.
Thanks for any advise.
/Sergio
Let me correct this:
I regularly use Windows Explorer (Windows 2000) to transfer files from the "Mac" desktop
Any ideas please Virtual PC VPC users?

Surface Pro 2 using Bitlocker startup PIN
Hi All,
In our enviorment we're using the Microsoft Surface Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro 2 with bitlocker encryption using a startup pin.
The operating system using is Windows 8.1
We're using the folowing GPO settings for Bitlocker encryption:
- Require Additional Authentication at Startup
- Allow Bitlocker without a comatible TPM > unchecked
- Configure TPM startup > Allow TPM
- Configure TPM startup PIN > Allow startup PIN with TPM
- Configure TPM startup key > Allow startup key with TPM
- Configure TPM startup key and PIN > Allow startup key and PIN with TPM
- Enable use of BitLocker authentication requiring preboot keyboard input
The Microsoft Surface Pro doesn't have any issues with the startup PIN.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 sometimes doesn't respond to the keyboard, there is no difference between a USB keyboard or a Surface Type Cover.
The only difference between the Microsoft Surface Pro and pro 2 is the UEFI bios.
Is there a solution to get bitlocker PIN authentication working on the Surface Pro 2.
The only workaround we've found is hold volume down at startup wich is not a ideal solution to instruct the users.
The oktober firmware upgrade didn't solved this problem.
Laurens van LeeuwenWe have seen the exact same thing as below. For reference, we are re-imaging ours with Windows 8.1 Enterprise Edition.
In addition to the issues listed below, I can't seem to figure out how to activate the supposed "bios level" on-screen keyboard that was supposed to be added to Surface Pro (v1) in a Firmware flash and should be part of Surface Pro (v2). Does anyone
have experience with activating that? I read an article a few months ago that claimed MS had addressed the latter with a flash to Surface 1. I hope I didn't dream it. :)
Please address this - I have high level personnel evaluating Surface vs. Dell and this will make a big difference in the final decision!

My HD is almost full. I need to add space. Can I use an external HD to continue using my startup disc as it is?
I create music and have run out of space. the message says 'your startup disc is almost full', and i just thought maybe buying an external hard drive and using it as the startup disc or whatever would do the trick. Does anyone know? Thanks!External hard drives are relatively inexpensive...see some of those on OWC, www.macsales.com
You can use a large external drive to provide additional space by simply saving material to that volume instead of the startup disk. You can also partition the external drive to use part for Time Machine backups, and another partition for extended space. Or a third partition for a clone of the boot system made by Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, both free downloads, so should the internal drive have problems you could always boot from the external partition.
All of that can be done from Disk Utility.
Keep in mind that Mac OS X gets very unhappy when there is less than 15% of the startup disk space free. -
Problem with the EFI system partition's file system.
I installed latest yosemite 10.10.2 update - did a verify disk on “WDC WD1001FALS-403AA0 Media” (internal HD on my iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and got
Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
Error: The partition map needs to be repaired because there’s a problem with the EFI system partition’s file system.
However a verify disk on the volume partition gets a clean bill of health!
I haven't done a 'repair disk' yet. Thought I'd check if anybody else has same message first.
CheersI had issues where my MacPro 8-core would not boot after the 10.7.4 upgrade, but my MacBook Air 13" 2011 upgrade worked just fine.
I had to restore my MacPro HD from my TimeMachine back up. Apparently, the Softraid raid drivers that I use on my MacPro are not compatible yet with 10.7.4. See here for more info:
http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2012/20120511_1-MacOSX-SoftRAID.html
I contacted Softraid and they are already aware of the issues and are working with Apple for a fix.
Cheers.

Having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool
having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool
Marco,
If no good reason, such as the one suggested by Silkrooster, is present, you may try the list, hoping for one of the easy ones at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

i am going to buy unlocked iphone 5.. i will be going to india nxt months and will stay there for a while... so my question is will i get warrenty in india.. and will there be any problem with using indian sims..?? thnx for the help..
The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin. The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide. The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries. -
Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")
Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
Dim r as New ReportDocument
'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
ChiVS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

Problem in using FM SELECT_TEXT
Hi friends,
I have a problem in using fm SELECT_TEXT.
Here I want to fetch Material PO text in Material master to my report.
I just dont know in which field of table "it_thead" the actual text is available.\
I tried debugging the program but was not successful.
I have also tried using READ_TEXT but it gives an error if no Text exists.
CALL FUNCTION 'SELECT_TEXT'
EXPORTING
client = sy-mandt
object = 'MATERIAL'
name = wrk_matnr
id = 'BEST'
language = sy-langu
TABLES
selections = it_thead.
How do i print the actual MAterial PO text in IT_THEAD ?
hope u understand the question...please do let me know if any details are required from myside..Hi,
My mistake.
Check below sample code.
PARAMETERS: po_matnr TYPE mara-matnr.
DATA: i_lines TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline,
wa_lines TYPE tline,
l_matnr TYPE thead-tdname.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = po_matnr
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = po_matnr
MOVE po_matnr TO l_matnr.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
* CLIENT = SY-MANDT
ID = 'BEST'
LANGUAGE = sy-langu
NAME = l_matnr "Pass material with leading zeros
OBJECT = 'MATERIAL'
* ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0
* LOCAL_CAT = ' '
* IMPORTING
* HEADER =
TABLES
LINES = i_lines
EXCEPTIONS
ID = 1
LANGUAGE = 2

REFERENCE_CHECK = 6
WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7
OTHERS = 8
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT i_lines INTO wa_lines.
WRITE: /1 wa_lines-tdline.
ENDLOOP.
Just execute this code by inputting ur material number.
If the text doesnot exist the error u r getting because of not commenting the MESSAGE statement after FM call. Try in the way i told above.
Thanks,
Vinod.

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account. -
Hi all, I bought one iphone and 3 ipads, i set up all on one apple ID. Now i have a problem when using messages: when sending message from one device it appears again on screen from the other 3 devices. I need help on how to set up messages on each device separately and to start using messages app on each device independently. Thanks

Guys i have a problem, I used to download apps from one of my friends apple id, now i created my new account, but when i was about to update my apps its asks for my friends id and password. now how could i update my old apps from my new apple id?

I have no communication with my that friend :/ So it means i need to delete those apps? There's no other solution to update those apps?
No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies. -
Problems in using database link
Hi all,
I have problems in using the following created database link:
Name: fzanalyze
User: fzanalyze
PWD: xxx
Host: fz.domain.com
I get the following error message, if I try to start this select:
select * from tab@fzanalyze;
FEHLER in Zeile 1:
ORA-12154: TNS:Couldn't resolve service name
The problem, the TNS is correct, because I copied the hoststring from the tnsnames.ora. Also I can connect to the database by using the given hostname as follows:
connect fzanalyze/[email protected]
connected
What could be the problem, the I get the tns-Error, although I can connect normal to the database??
Thanks for helping
DanaDana,
Unlike Kamal, I don't use SQLNET anymore (isn't it obsolete from 8i+?), so I don't have any sqlnet.ora on my client or server.
I'm not really a sysop, so no clever thoughts behind the following ideas, I just use these for development purposes at home:
IP range at home = 192.168.x.x segment (another router server connects to the internet)
Oracle server computer name = dbserver.seinpost.nl (local address = 192.168.1.110)
instance entry in $TNS_ADMIN/listener.ora @ server:
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = inst04.seinpost.nl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = inst04)
)instance entry in $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora @ server:
INST04.SEINPOST.NL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dbserver.seinpost.nl)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = inst04.seinpost.nl)
)instance entry in tnsnames.ora @ client:
INST04 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = 192.168.1.110)
(PORT = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = inst04.seinpost.nl)
)So again, no sqlnet.ora and as you can see only on my client I use local IP addresses to prevent my client for searching the internet for the non-existing dbserver.seinpost.nl address
Hope this helps,

Time machine backups are failing. I've followed the instructions I found on the Time Machine troubleshooting page (http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html) but have gotten to where I don't know what to do next.
Sequence of events:
The main error message is always:
An error occurred while copying files. The problem could be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.
Yesterday, I opened Disk Utility and verified the disk. Got this error:
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
I ran Disk Utility and repaired the hard drive. Then I manually started the backup before going to bed, figuring it was going to take a long time to run. When I got up this morning, the backup had failed with the same "could be temporary" error. I checked the log, which says:

Thanks,
TeryYou have repaired your boot drive (which is good) but have you repaired your time machine drive? I don't own a Time Capsule so I don't know if disk utility can operate on it. If it can, you should repair it as well. You may need to erase it and start a new backup. That happens to time machine volumes from time to time and is why people who are serious about their data never rely on a single source of backup.

iPhone 6 will not sync music. This has become a problem since using itunes 12. It also will not sync all my pics and video's with my iPad 4 either. Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement. It stops at last step saying waiting for items to copy and just sits there. The iPad finish the sync, but some video's are missing.
