Problems Switching Between Operating Systems.

I just had a copy of windows xp put on my mac book for school but for some reason I can't switch back to it. Since I'm not a admin I can't access the start-up disk and when I hold the option key and restart the computer all I get is a big pad lock on the screen. Right now I have no way of contacting the administrator until Tuesday. Is there any other way to access the windows OS? Thanks.

The iPhone has it's own OS, and syncing between Macs and PCs is not a problem. There's no formatting issue involved.

Difference between operational systems datamodelling & datawarehouse model

» An understanding of the differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse data modeling.

Hi,
While in a OLTP you have data tables free of redundance and ready for transactions meaning writing and reading few records often, in an OLAP-system you need to read a lot of data for every query you do on a database. Often in an OLAP-system you aggregate these amounts of data.
Therefore you use another principle for these database scheme. This is called star schema. This means that you have one central table (called fact table) which holds the key figures and have keys to another tables with characteristics. These other tables are called dimension tables. They hold combinations of the characteristics
I hope the following links may help you to get some more Idea.

Differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse da

Hello Everyone,
Can anybody help me understand the differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse data modeling>
Thanks

Hello A S!
What you mean is the difference between modelling after normal form like in operational systems (OLTP) e. g. 3NF and modelling a InfoCube in a data warehouse (OLAP)?
While in a OLTP you want to have data tables free of redundance and ready for transactions meaning writing and reading few records often, in an OLAP-system you need to read a lot of data for every query you do on a database. Often in an OLAP-system you aggregate these amounts of data.
Therefore you use another principle for these database scheme. This is called star schema. This means that you have one central table (called fact table) which holds the key figures and have keys to another tables with characteristics. These other tables are called dimension tables. They hold combinations of the characteristics. Normally you design it that your dimensions are small, so the access on the data is more efficent.
the star scheme in SAP BI is a little more complex than explained here but it follows the same concept.

Problem with zip operating system command

Hello,
i have the following configuration in the file receiver adapter:
Directory: /tmp/
File Name Scheme: %name%.txt
Variable substitution:
Variable Name: name Reference: payload: record,1,name,1
Run Operating system command:
/usr/bin/zip /tmp/%f.zip %F
The execution is succesful, but i have a small problem. The file name is "file.txt.zip", the .txt should appear but i dont know how to skip it, I have tried so many ways but it doesnt work, I should receive a file called "file.zip" With a file inside in txt format...
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Sriram,
Thanks, but that wouldnt work out, Im using the %f for my file name, so this move command shouldnt work for me, because my filename changes in every execution, so I cant write something like this: mv file.txt.zip file.zip
The only solution I see would would be a command which deals with strings and that could remove the four last characters of "%f"..but I havent found anything for doing it.
Regards,
Luis

Toggle between operating system no longer works

For some reason, I cannot use the "toggle method" of switching to windows anymore. I restart, holding down "option", but when I cannot select operating systems once both hard drives appear. I can still restart using System Preferences, but why does the other method no longer work?

JAR file problem with windows operating system rare

hi,
I have an application created with Eclipse 3.2, which also have a plugin that helps me to create jar files, migrate days ago all my application and my data base to a notebook that has a very rare operating system is Windows Vista, but is a version very rare and never seen, called oneAngel Illusion, and I think that that is not capable of running the JAR correctly, that when you double click or enter to JAR nothing happens, and I prove it on a machine that has XP and functioning properly.
I hope I can help with this!

I hope I can help with this!You should know, if you don't already, that your 'super rare' version of Windows Vista, sounds like one of numerous, illegal, cracked and knocked-off versions of Vista that have been floating about. Things like Windows Vista Silver and Windows Vista Sky are not only completely illegal reproductions of pirated copies of Vista but they often have terrible bugs and security deficiencies that can sacrifice the integrity of your data. Honestly, if you're already shooting yourself in the foot with this bootlegged operating system, just get Linux, it's just like stealing but without the unsavory prison shower encounters.

Problems with New operating system

Security Problems with new operating system (5.1)

Using the new operating system you can use the camera when the ipod is locked. When you do this it overides the 4 digit security code giving full access to your ipod without entering the code. Surely this should not happen as the security of your ipod or iphone should not be compromised in this way. It needs a fix. Anyone else noticed this?

Are you sure you are just not trying to access the iPod before the time you set the screen-lock to engage has passed?
If the time period is set for say one minute and then you tell the iPod to sleep, you can still access the camera and then the whole iPod. But you can simply do that anywhap by jus sliging to to unloack. If the time period has not passed you do not need to enter your passcode. Othr users have forgot this and raised the same issue as you.

Magic Trackpad - Pairing Problems Switching Between OS X & Windows

My system has Mac OS 10.6.4 (with Magic Trackpad update 1.0 installed) and Windows 7 (with Bootcamp 3.1 plus the "Magic Trackpad/27" Cinema Display" update). The Trackpad works correctly after setup in OS X with all functions working even after reboots. The Trackpad also works correctly after setup in Windows 7 (with passkey 0000) and continues to work correctly with the supported features with multiple reboots into Windows 7.
The problem is that after using Windows, when I reboot to OS X the Trackpad will not function. It shows as paired but disconnected and will not stay connected. If I un-pair and then re-pair it will work. And the same thing happen when I switch from OS X to Windows - it shows as paired but unconnected and the only way to get it to work is to un-pair and then re-pair.
I had a similar sort of problem with the Magic Mouse and found that if I un-pair in OS X, pair in Windows, and then pair in OS X it will work with both. But the Trackpad won't work this way, even after trying this. I think the problem is that the Trackpad won't allow paring with two different systems (for the obvious reason) but isn't designed to accommodate the Bootcamp scenario.
I really like the Magic Trackpad and would like to be able to use it on those rare occasions when I need to use Windows without the hassle of reinstalling it each time I boot a different OS. Any solution to this problem?

UPDATE: I installed Vista on Bootcamp and tried the Magic TrackPad driver. It has the same problem. I can get the device to work as advertised on the initial install and reboots in the same OS. But when you switch from Windows to Mac OS X (or vice-versa) the device will not work: in Windows is listed as paired and connected, but does not work. In Mac OS X, it will not connect automatically and does not work. If you manually try to connect the Bluetooth icon briefly shows connected and then disconnects.
I sent a bug report to Apple as a "developer" and they state that it is a known issue. I guess we simply wait for them to get around fixing the drivers at some point in the distant future. Clearly they ignore these forums altogether. The experience has left me disappointed with Apple and their slow and inadequate response to problems. I would rather they devote some resources to getting their existing products to work instead of wasting resources to add iPhone-style displays to Mac OS X. If I wanted buggy drivers and no support I should have just stayed with Windows.

Problems switching between 2 wireless routers

I've got a setup with an Airport Extreme and a Netgear WGX102 running in access point mode (it can also function as a full router). The Netgear device is a very cool piece that has a wireless range extender which uses the house electrical wiring to transfer the broadband connection to a remote wireless access point, and works much better the using the Airport Express as a range extender without a hardwire connection to the Extreme. Here is my problem: After initially connecting to the Netgear device, if I move out of it's range and into the Extreme's range and switch to the Extreme, the DHCP addressing works fine and I can connect with no issues; the problem occurs when I move back into range of the Netgear access point; when I switch the Airport connection back to the Netgear, a bogus IP address gets assigned (169.x.x.x), and the only way it can be corrected is to cycle the power on the Netgear access point (plugged into the Extreme's LAN port). If I pull the power on the Netgear and plug it back in while the TCP/IP prefs are open, a good IP address will pop in within seconds. It's a real bummer. This happens on 3 different Powerbooks running Tiger 10.4.1. Nothing I can do in the Network preferences can cause a proper IP address to be assigned. Rebooting doesn't help either. The only fix is to pull the power on the Netgear AP/router. Cycling power on the Netgear extender doesn't help either. One PowerBook can be running fine off the Netgear AP while another that has jumped back and forth can never reestablish a proper IP address until the power cycle takes place. Very frustrating. Any suggestions welcome.
Greg

The Netgear is operating in an access point mode, and does not assign IP addresses on it's own, they're still being served from the Airport. The channels are also different, but I'll have to see if there is an overlap issue. I wasn't aware that you had to use specific channels like that (1, 6, 11). The issue with using the same SSID is that it will make it harder to differentiate which wireless device you're switching to, as you'll see the same name twice in the Airport pulldown. Is there a way to get the Airport connection to switch automatically when you're moving from one to the other based on signal strength?
Thanks.

Problem switching between applications

Hi,
Don't know if anyone can shed any light on this...
I am working on a Director project that has to link to and
open Word DOCs. I have a problem whereby when a DOC is opened, the
Mac does not seem to be switching properly into Word. What happens
is: click thumbnail (running handler to open DOC, using Buddy API
xtra); Word starts to open the DOC; DOC window appears in front of
projector Window, but the Mac titlebar seems to 'stick' in the
projector. I can edit the DOC, use keyboard commands to save etc.,
but no menus are visible due to the 'ProjectorName.osx' title bar.
I can switch to Word with Apple-tab, but not by clicking in the
Word window(s).
A few extra notes:
• The projector resizes the screen to 800x600, but even
with this feature disabled the problem persists.
• I have tried creating a projector with the Full
Screen option checked and unchecked, and with the visible title bar
option checked and unchecked - no difference.
• The problem has just arisen; essentially identical
projectors (ie. differences are only in graphics) have run OK.
• We have used a couple of different xtras to open the
files, for reasons unconnected with this issue. However we have
been using BuddyAPI for a while, so I am reasonably sure that the
problem is not related to this.
• Ensuring that unnecessary apps are closed, to ensure
plenty of free memory, makes no difference.
Paul

Stop press:
It seems the problem is related to the Full Screen option in
projector creation. (While previous full screen projectors based on
the same movie did not show the problem, since the issue came up
non-full screen projectors work OK, and full screen one don't .
Unfortunately I need to use full screen mode as I don't want a
title bar at the top of the screen, and want to use the full
(re-sized to 800x600 screen area.

Problem With mac Operating system

ok, had a problem with a piece of software and was told to try and "downgrade" my OS. so i started an installer that was an installer to a previous system. i was on 4.8 and was trying to go to 3.4 i think. I got half way thru and it said start the installer again. restarted. instead of the apple logo coming up a round cross comes up. i connected to my comp thru another comp using the firewire but my user folder is empty. anyways i can find anything in the users folder and fix this problem? cheers

Who told you to downgrade your OS X version and was this due to the software not being compatible with your OS X version which was 10.4.8?
What software?
Your computer detail provided indicates you have an Intel Mac and if so, you certainly cannot downgrade to 10.3 - any 10.3.x version. All Intel Macs have shipped with Tiger (10.4.x) pre-installed and there are no OS X versions prior to 10.4.x that is compatible with an Intel Mac and even if so, you cannot install an earlier or previous OS X version on a Mac that shipped with a later version.
Unless you meant 10.4.3 which is the version that was pre-installed on your Intel Mac and the version included with the OS X install package that shipped with your Mac when new.
Did this person who told you to downgrade your OS also tell you to be sure to create a backup or update your existing backup before doing so?
Did you choose Archive & Install with an option to preserve user and network settings?
If not and you choose Erase & Install, then your hard drive was completely erased first.

Problem with Between operator in condition

Hi
I am using Discoverer Desktop 11g.
In my report, I have 2 parameters for start-date and end-date. I want the report to display records which have an order date that falls within the period indicated by start-date and end-date.
E.g. if I run report and enter 01-mar-2013 as start-date and 20-mar-2013 as end-date, I would like to see all records with order dates between these 2 dates but the problem is that the report leaves out some records with order date of 20-mar-2013. It only displays a few records with 20-mar-2013 and leaves out some (i.e. report doesn't display all records with order date that is equal to the value of the end-date parameter), how can I make all records to be displayed?
Please help. Thanks.

It sounds like you may need to change your condition to look at trunc(orderdate) rather than just orderdate. Those order dates that are being excluded probably have a time portion (so order date 20-mar-2013 10:00 am is after end-date 20-mar-2013 00:00 am).
You can temporarily change the date format on your report to a format that includes the time, and run with 21-mar-2013 as your end-date, to confirm whether that's the issue.

Problem switching between frames in Flash

I've been having a problem with an interactive Flash CS5 project: when I navigate between frames using gotoAndStop(1); the program experiences the following error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I think this is because the first frame that the function goes to has none of the objects that have event listeners in frame 2.
All I'm hoping to do is go back to the first frame. Would it be best to put everything on one frame and work from there? That seems unneccessarily complicated.

I tried putting my code into frame 1, but then it gave me error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I believe this is because a lot of my objects are not on the stage until frame 2. I suppose I could have them already in frame 1 and invisible, but I feel like that's an unneccesarily complicated workaround.
Should I be adding my objects using a addChild function, or is it okay to have interactive objects on different frames, such as a start button frame 1, draggable objects frame 2, continue button frame 3, etc?

How do I fix (Firefox 32 has caused problems) switching between application (without first minimizing) windows and unintended scrolling

When I have several different application windows open I must first minimize the current application window in order to view another application window. Sometimes when I have two windows (for instance a chat window) open, one on top of the other, the top window moves to the back w/o being requested to move.
I also experience unintended scrolling on various applications open in FF 32.
These problems do not occur in IE.

The windows popping may be a system problem. While many users
report this type of problem with Firefox, I have seen non Firefox
windows popping up. Even if the window was minimized.
