Questions about the notes folder

Hey everyone,
After asking questions here and after 3 months of having my iPod, I figured out how to use my notes file on my iPod. I know( rolling eyes across the nation), but seriously, I got it to hold and open a file, but when I opened a document in that file, the file holds i'ms for me- is it supposed to have a bunch of computer text next to it? Such as text><?:::: Is this because there i'ms or what?

you can not use non-Microsoft Word Documents
You HAVE to use non-Microsoft Word documents.
They cannot be a .DOC file. They must be plain text.
Is there a limit to the size of the notes?
Yes. 4K file size. Anything over will not be displayed.
if that can not be stored by iPod Nano, that is un-good.
It can be stored on the Nano but it cannot be displayed on the Nano.

Another Question about the "Notes" Folder from Kevin_Ahab

Okay, thanks to [I forget my helper last time], for his help getting my TEXT (you can not use non-Microsoft Word Documents) Documents to the "Notes" Folder in the Extras Menu of my iPod Nano White 4GB English.
Is there a limit to the size of the notes? My documents were ~8 KILObytes each, and the whole did not show up. If there is some sort of limit, tell me, or maybe I just screwed something up. Because some people have text documents over the 1 megabyte mark (I believe I have some), and if that can not be stored by iPod Nano, that is un-good.
Unless, and tell me if this hunch is correct, it is only for a "to-do" list, not for long, drawn-out documents.
Anyways, any help is GREATLY appreciated, thank-you in advanced.

Question about the shared folder when backing up audio

Hello, kind Mac folk. I've read a lot about using Itunes to backup Itunes libraries onto multiple CD-R's and it seems that, right now, this is the best option for me. However, I've also read that it's a good idea to also backup the "users/shared" folder from the HD because it contains some invisible information regarding the authentication of music that I purchased using my .Mac/Itunes account. So is it possible to burn this folder in the same burning project I'll use accross the CD-R's on which my tunes will go? Or do I need to place this folder in a burn folder and back it up that way? And, if the latter is the only way possible, will it matter that the information is on a separate disc if I ever need to restore or upgrade my hardware? Thanks so much for your help and advice.
Austin

If you create your backup CD-Rs from within iTunes, it's not possible to include the Shared folder.
You have to burn that folder as a separate project.
The size of the folder can be fairly large (mine is about 1.9 GB) depending on the applications and specific use of your computer.
If your only goal is to save the authorization info in case of a HD crash or other failure, it won't help. After repair of a logic board or changing RAM, you will be asked to authorize again anyway.
Take a look at this article
The authorization info is stored in the 'SC Info.sidb' file inside the 'SC Info' folder in Shared.
You can 'unhide' invisible files by tools like Tinkertool or OnyX (you can find them on versiontracker.com)
Hope this helps.

DFSR Question about the DFSRPrivate folder

Hello all and thanks in advance for any info you may provide.
I am using DFSR for first time and I face an issue with the replicated data and the source data. I want to clarify that I am using DFSR only to migrate data to a new file server and after the replication is completed I will decommission the olf File
Server.
My problem is that when I go to check the source and the destination data, they don't have the same size (which is expected, as I thought that some files, if they are opened or in use, they cannot be replicated). Well, it seems that this is not true,
because I checked it in a test environment. So, after I tested it and I saw that everything is replicated, even the opened files, I was wondering why the source and the destination data are not the same. I believe that there's not any problem if
I miss 500-600 files, because these files may be temp files, or bak files. When I run the report, I see that the files that are not replicated are basicaly pdf,docx,xlsx files. So, why these files are not replicated?
A colleague explained me that the difference between the source and destination data occurs because I have left the DFSRPrivate folder which contains the staging folder in its original location in the replicated folder. He advices me to change this, which
is a huge workload for me now. My question is, does my colleague have right? Shall I change it? If you leave the staging folder to its original place, will this cause any trouble?
Thank you all!

I would not move the staging folder. I have NEVER seen a Microsoft document that recommends that, for any reason.
Have you checked the DFS Replication logs in Event Viewer (under applications and services logs)? Do you see a lot of 4304s? That may be the reason that the pdf, docx and xlsx files aren't getting replicated, they may be in use. (the same file
on more than one server)
How is replication progressing? Is there a backlog? There is some information in this article on using the backlog command: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2007/10/05/top-10-common-causes-of-slow-replication-with-dfsr.aspx
Also, to check what state the replication process is in, use this command:
wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path DfsrReplicatedFolderInfo get replicatedFolderName, State
0: Uninitialized
1: Initialized
2: Initial Sync
3: Auto Recovery
4: Normal
5: In Error

Question about the trash folder

Is there a way to find out where a document that is in the trash folder originally came from without using the put back option? Normally this would not be a problem since the majority of files that go into the trash are the ones that I told it to delete but if I have a program that puts a file in the trash bin after the program exits, is there a way to see where the program in the trash bin came from. This doesn't happen very often but every now and then if I see something in the trash that I didn't put there, I would like to know where it came from. The files are usually files that can be deleted anyway but it would be nice if there was a way to see the original path. Obviously the original path is still there somewhere because you have the put back option so it has to know where it came from in order to put it back.

That might be in a logfile. Your Console application might help.
If not, someone in the Developer forum might know:

Question about the Application folder.

Also what do you mean by both of them? I have never seen but one apps folder??
Each user has the option of his own application folder. Looks like you do not have one.
Disk sweeper sounds kind of scary, what does it do?
When you invoke the program it first lists the files. This is very safe. Note: it only lists the files you have access too. Did you create other id's?

Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash. Go after large files that you have created & know what they are. Do not delete small files that are in folder you do not know what the folders are for.

Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place? I know there are different possibilities to set.
I tried but it not helped for me. What I can do? How and where can set this they stay on their place?
Thanks.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

HT5463 Questions about the "Do Not Disturb" feature not addressed in documentation

Hello,
I have some questions about the "Do Not Disturb" feature which are not quite addressed by the documentation.
When DND is enabled, will badge app icons still be displayed?
When DND is turned off, either manually or automatically, will Notification Center banners be available for alerts which occurred while DND was on, or are they lost forever?
I guess the main questions is, is DND like an answering machine, which stores up your notifications until you are ready to deal with them? Or is it a return of the "turn off all notifications" feature that existed in iOS 4, albeit in a more evolved form?
Thanks,
- Steve

If you have a schedule set, but activate it manually, it will de-activate at the scheduled time anyway. It behaves perfectly on my 4S, my wife's 4, and both of our iPads.
If you have an iPhone 5, it could be tied to the known issue with automatic time set going Wonky on LTE networks. If that's the case, try disabling the automatic time set and see if it behaves itself.

He said - Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox.
I want to know - Will I still have my bookmarks, history, addons, plugins, etc.? I do not know what plugins and such that I had. What about my pinned tabs and my tabs that where open.
More information - When I try to start Firefox I keep getting the message that I need to restart my computer in order to complete a previous update attempt. I had Sweetpacks on my PC and I do not know where it came from, it took over my home page in Internet Explorer and Ithink caused the issue with Firefox.
Should I do the clean install or try starting Firefox now.

SUP - 2 questions about the CDB (cache database)

Hi,
I have 2 questions about the cache database and the cache groups:
1 - How does the "On demand" cache group policy exactly works? I know that online cache group is without storing any data on the CDB making direct requests to de backend from the device, the DCN is based on updating from the backend, the scheduled is based on a time period, but I don't understand how the "on demand" exactly works, and why it has a time period too.
2 - Is it possible to query the cache database table to check the data that SUP has stored? How can I do this?
Thank you!

I posted a similar question in SUP Apps project not too long ago and Paul Horan provided this useful reply:
Create a "Sybase ASA v12.x for Unwired Server" connection profile in the Enterprise Explorer. I named mine CDB.
: Host = localhost (or whatever the machine name is)
: Port = 5200
: Database name = "default"
: User Name = "dba"
: Password = "sql"
Obviously, change the userid/password to match, if you changed them during install time.
Connect, and you'll see the "default" database displayed.
Navigate down through the Tables folder, and the first subfolder is labeled something like [#should_delete_sk ...] Start there.
You'll see a bunch of tables with the naming convention "D1" + package name + package version + MBO name. These are the cache tables for the MBOs.

Question about iPod Notes

First of all, let me say that I'm not very 'techie' so if this is a stupid or naive question...please bear with me.
My question is about iPod notes. It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica). It also wraps earlier than at 80 characters like a .txt file should.
So basically...the note never looks the same on TextEdit (or whatever) as it does when you view it to your iPod.
I have been making a few eBooks to read on my iPod and -- just to make them look neater -- I would like to do a few things like centering titles, adding dividing lines, etc.
So I was hoping somebody could tell me how to set TextEdit (or whatever) so that a note will look the same on it as it does when viewed on the iPod so that I can edit the file. --Like, what is the exact font and size of the text on the iPod display and where does it wrap exactly (I figure it must wrap according to the size of the window, since a variable number of characters can go on a line w/ non-equal-spaced type).
Also...I figure that the file I edit would have to be a .rtf since the display is not in plain text, yet it says you can only put plain text files in the iPod notes folder. So...I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
Anyways...any help anybody out there can give me with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!

It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica).
Plain text means it does not have any special coding/characters in it such as Bold or Underscores or page breaks.
Plain text docs do not store anything except text. It does not specify a font. That is taken care of by whatever app you are using.
I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
You can put rtf in the Notes folder but the iPod will ignore any of the formatting.
You can use some html to format a bit as well as linking to other files/songs/photos.
Go here -> Guided by iPod and click on *iPod Notes Feature Guide* at teh bottom for a doc explaining the notes.
There are a few apps and web pages to put text docs into the correct size files.
Here's one -> http://www.ipod-notes.com/ (I haven't used it so no idea if it's any good or not).

A question about the impact of SQL*PLUS SERVEROUTPUT option on v$sql

Hello everybody,
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL>
OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
So, here is how I proceed
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
-- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
BEGIN
    SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
    FROM v$session
    WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
-- Just check to see the result
SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
    :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
       129   1067
SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
BEGIN
    SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
    FROM v$session
    WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
:SAVED_SQL_ID
9babjv8yq8ru3
SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
CHILD_NUMBER   SQL_ID          SQL_TEXT
0              9babjv8yq8ru3    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
This was precisely what I did
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
thanks in advance,

Hi Dariyoosh,
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it <b>to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement</b>. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.

Question about the ability of Genius Bar to help with outside software...

Hi I wasn't sure where to put this, but here's my question. I'm having a problem with the Sims 2 on my Macbook and I was wondering if I go to the Genius Bar will they be able to help me or are they strictly hands off when it's not a direct Apple product?
Also, I bought an external hard drive in the Apple Store but it's not an Apple branded product. If I'm having a problem with that, can I go to the Apple Store?

If it's a question about the installation, system requirements or compatibility with your MacBook, the Mac Genius can probably help. If you're having some kind of issue while using the Sims 2, you'll probably have to contact .
The same is true with the hard drive. If you need some help getting it connected or even formatted, they can probably help. However, if it's not powering up or you're losing files or some kind of operational issue with the hard drive after it's connected, they'll probably refer you to the manufacturer.
Usually Apple can't support other vendors' products. Someone here may be able to give you some more advice, since none of us work for Apple. There may be someone here who's already had the same issue with the Sims.

Question about the programming of a legend

Hello everybody,
I have a question about the programming of a waveform's legend. I
already asked here in this forum about the legend programming (03)
months ago.
I went satisfied but I ve just noticed that this code
(See Code old_legend_test.llb with main.vi as main function) operates a
little different from my expectances.
Therefore I have a new question and I want to know if it
is possible by labview programming to plot and show, on a waveform
chart, a signal with activ plot superior to zero (0) without to be
obliged to plot and show a signal with activ plot equal to zero (0) or
inferior to the desired activ plot.
I give you an example
of what I m meaning. I have by example 4 signals (Signal 0, 1, 2 and 3)
and each signal corresponds respectively to a channel (Chan1, Chan2,
Chan3, Chan4). I want to control the legend (activ plot, plot name and
plot color) programmatically. Is it possible with labview to plot signal
1 or 2 or 3 or (1, 3) or (2,3) or (1,2,3) or other possible combination
without to active the signal with the corresponding activ plot zero
(0)?
Let see the labview attached data
(new_legend_test.llb with main.vi as main function). When I try to
control the input selected values again I get them back but I don't
understand why they have no effect on the legend of my waveform chart.
Could somebody explain me what I m doing wrong or show me how to get a
correct legend with desired plots? Thank by advance for your assistance.
N.B.
The
both attached data are saved with labview 2009.
Sincerly,PrinceJack

Hi
princejack,
Thanks for
posting on National Instruments forum.
The behavior
you have is completely normal. You can control the number of row displayed in
the legend and this rows are linked to the data you send to your graph. Thus,
if you have 3 arrays of data, let say chan1, chan2 and chan3, you can choose
which data you want to display in your graph using the property node (Active
plot and visible). But for the legend as you send 3 plots there is an array of
the plot name [chan1, chan2, chan3] and you can display 0, 1, 2 or 3 rows of
this array but you cannot control the order in this array! So, to be able to
change this array you have to only send data you need to you graph. I'm not
sure my explanations are clear so I have implemented a simple example doing
that.

I think, ko new spare part it can be damaged before using that? how the quality of this Sony spare part? ugly? not good? why?
I was disappointed with this situation, where soon it will Eid, want to return home as well to Java. but the camera has not been settled workmanship?
nah, roughly what is the solution of the Sony plagued with this problem? please help, because he did not know to whom to complain. operator had just said: it's up to the father alone.
once again I asked for his help. solution. if you can before Eid arrived.
Thank you,
