Re Two instead of one

I've transfered several documents using drag and drop from PC Excel folder to Playbook Documents folder.
Now I have two files with the same title in Documents folder on a PC; original file (one I am working on) , and the other one which is now on BB Playbook. PC cannot open files that are on Playbook neither for viewing nor for working on. I don't need double files on a PC, especially when duplicates are useless when on PC.
How to prevent this from happening?

It's not a problem I recognize. If you drag from PC Documents folder to Playbook media/Documents folder you have one on PC and on on Playbook. If you look at the one in Playbook in your Explorer window you can double click it and it will open in Windows, albeit a bit slowly as ot has to load across the link. Don't know how you finished up with two in Windows unless it was still open in Excel at the time and you save a copy.
If you have something different please explain it again.

Sure, I receive another date (01.02.2013). Just one thing is strange here - why do I receive only one extra date (I should receive ALL dates in Oracle table when I perform query without any WHERE clause).

When typing an email, when I go to next line, it skips two lines instead of one line. How do I correct it?

I was typing an email and when I would go to the next line, it will skip two lines instead of one line. How do I correct the problem?

I am not sure I understand the problem. Could you include a screenshot of it right after it happens?

You wrote a query against tables we've never seen, containing data we can't possibly have any idea about and you expect us to be able to help you?
Please go discuss this with someone in your organization who understands the data model and have them explain to you how it is supposed to work.
Put yourself in our situation (forum volunteers) ... if we threw some arbitrary code with no explanation as to what it does, what the data model looks like and what's supposed to be happening, do you think you'd be very successful ?

Two rows instead of one in the database when form with 2 data blocks.

Hi All,
I have created a form having 2 data blocks
data block one to populate table A
data block two to populate table B .
now when i save the data after pressing the save option ....i find 2 records instead of one in the database table A and Table B.
it should have been just one per table ....can some one suggest pls
Sunny

ok : step by step :
do you have a trigger created named "ON-INSERT" on
the block?Many thanks for your support....
I do not have an ON-insert trigger.....
I will explain my scenerio.....
I have 2 data blocks one-below the other in the form
accessing 2 different tables....
now on the canvas of this form I have added a
button....and on that button i have written a trigger
'when-button-pressed' Trigger....
it takes the data from the various text_items of the
form and inserts them into their corrosponding
tables....and I have added 'COMMIT' at the end this
trigger
so when I press this button ....the data 2 records
get inserted into the 2 tables instead of one each..
TIA
Sunnythe above form looks something like this.....

E-invoice (two invoices are being emailed instead of one)

Hi,
When carrying out the e-invoice process customers receive two emails of the same invoice instead of one. Please could someone point me in the right direction to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Check if you have defined twice the message in VV33. Check the entries in table NAST (number of entries, ...)
Sometimes, some mail boxes where have a lot of messages, doesnt know if they have sent the message, so, they send twice or more until they know that it has been sent. So, check how many entries you have in SOST. If you have a lot, reorganize sost. So, check Note 510969 - SAPoffice: Reorganization - Corrections and related notes.
I hope it helps you
Regards,
Eduardo

CS 5 exports two pages at a time instead of one.

I copied the following script from the Internet into notepad, saved it, and renamed it "spreads.jsx". I put it into my scripts file. It didn't do anything. app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.exportReaderSpreads = !app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.exportReaderSpreads
I removed the facing pages check. My pages still exported two pages to a page. I then created a new document without the facing pages checked. I copied the 21 of my original file into the new file. It still exported two pages on one.
>The only way to get non-facing pages to stick together is to disable page shuffling and drag them together in the Pages Panel, and that
won't happen accidentally.
I turned off shuffling, and that didn't help either. It was unclear what to drag in the Pages Panel.
I'm now past my deadline for the newsletter and can use anybody's help so that I get an output in .pdf for single pages, so people can print out the file and have a single page on a single sheet.
Lou
First, here is my screen shot of the resulting .pdf file from exporting my 21 page document
Second, here is the screen shot of my pages panel.
Next, the export dialogue:
Here is the scripts dialogue box.

Someone, maybe you, suggested I start a new thread about the video. I
posted it to the forum under:
"I solved the export single page issue and now my videos won't work." Here
is the text:
I have windows 7 for 64 bit.
I ran a script on my InDesign CS 5 document to solve the problem with two
pages appearing on one .pdf file. When I clicked on it, here is what I
get “Spreads are now ON in Interactive PDF Preferences.”
I get two pages stuck together in my interactive .pdf file. I don’t want
that because it prints to pages on a single sheet and I want each page to
print separately. However, my three .f4v videos appear the way I want and run
perfectly, even though I got the error message, “One or more interactive
elements are clipped in ways that PDF files cannot reproduce. Those elements
will be adjusted in the exported PDF. “
When I click on the script again, it says, “Spreads are now OFF in
Interactive PDF Preferences.”
The pages are the way I want. Now my videos don’t behave. Video 1 vanished
into a red border with blank inside. Video 2 has moved half way up the
page, covering two photos, but it plays. Video 3 has just white space in its
position.
Next, I tried another script. When I ran it I got the message, “Shuffling
pages will remove some page transitions. To avoid this message in the
future, uncheck allow Document Pages to Shuffle in the Pages panel. Select OK to
continue.” I hit okay several times and the message kept appearing again
and again. I finally clicked “Don’t show again” and it went away. I got the
same error message as before. The videos are all screwed up, like before.
I toggled that script and exported again, and got the same error message.
This time, as before, the videos were messed up, but this time one of the
videos was off the page, but played.
Is there any way I can keep one page to one in the .pdf AND have my videos
work?

Lou,
In order to properly diagnose your problem it is ESSENTIAL that ID is
behaving in a known and predictable way. This means that if you ran the
first script, the one that Stix recommended, and ran it only once and then
deleted it, you MUST reinstall the script, and run it again to reset the
export behavior to spreads so we know what's going on. You should see a
new
dialog telling you that exporting spreads is active when the script runs.
Until you do that, we really can't tell where the problems with things
moving might be coming from.
I design for print, and I've been working with InDesign since it was first
released, switching my production work from Quark Xpress to InDesign when
ID
2.0 was released about 10 years ago. Before going freelance as a designer
I
worked a few years in print shops learning from other people's mistakes
(and
learning how to fix most of them), and did some newspaper and magazine
production. Quite a bit of what I know about InDesign I've actually
learned
here. For the first few years I read every post, and if I didn't already
know the answer I tried to figure it out. Even now, though, I usually
learn
something new at least once a week.
As I just mentioned, I design for print, so the interactive stuff is a bit
murky for me, too, but if we can get you to a known state and see if
things
are where they belong, someone who does interactives all the time may be
able to help more. I don't know about the warning you get, but I suspect
it
is significant.

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos ( layering one on another) when I click on a brush, I get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instruction say it should do. Instead I can get the eraser to do what I need to do. Why the confusion

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos (layering one on another) I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do. I can get the eraser to do what I want. Why the confusion???

I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do.
The Brush tool (Keyboard B) has several different brushes in the same slot. Right click on the brush icon and you will see them, or press B sequentially.
The Smart Brush tool (Keyboard F) has two items in the slot.
Since you did not provide reference to "the instructions", it is difficult to remedy the "confusion." that exists.
I suspect that the recipe calls for a mask, and painting with a black brush to mask out certain areas.
It would help if you post the instructions and what your goal is with more specificity.

Two devices under one apple ID, how do I keep my privacy?

I have two devices under one apple ID, my sister's iPhone 4s and my own iPod touch 5. iMessages and FaceTime requests etc are being sent to both devices instead of the specific one it's meant to be sent to. For example, I am recieving the iPhone's iMessages on my iPod as well, when they are meant to be only sent to the iPhone. Also, will safari history and bookmarks/app downloads and passwords etc be shown on both devices as well?

Remember this construct:
One Apple ID per individual; one device per Apple ID. If you have two devices you should have an Apple ID for each unless you want both devices to draw from the same iTunes Library. This is your situation now.
If you open iTunes and select one device to configure, then go through the configuration options for Apps, Music, etc. and select what you want synched to that device. Repeat the process for your other device. This is the best you can do to keep each device's configuration different.

Lighroom 3 on two Macs utilising one external drive

Hello
This my first post
I use Lightroom 3 on a MacBook Pro. My photographs(library) is held on external disk
I have recently purchased a MacBook Air for use in the field, I have installed LR3 and have
what I thought would be a simple issue.
How can i access the photographs from both Macs??
grateful for any input

Welcome to the forum!
There are a couple of "solutions" to your problem. The easiest, and possibly the best for you (although it is a bit slower) is to copy your catalog onto the external drive as well.
Then when you plug in the drive, you will always have your latest catalog for access.
The other way is to keep a local copy of your catalog, and copy it onto the local drive as a way to transfer it from one computer to the other.
This has the problem of possibly not being in sync, that is, you forgot to copy it over once and did some editing. Then you would end up with essentually two different catalogs, instead of one in two places.
You can copy the catalog either with your OS, or you can "export as catalog" and specify the external drive as the destination. Then, on your other computer, "import from catalog" and only take the meta-data settings (it's on the import dialog box).
Personally, when I'm traveling, I have my catalog on my external drive as well. It just makes life easier, and I don't have to worry about it being out of sync, or losing it (and not the images).
So, I would go with the first method, at least to start. To get your catalog over there, you can either export as catalog or copy it, either one will work.
You can find the location of your catalog file (if you don't know where it is) in the catalog settings menu prompt. Both the location and the name will be displayed.
Cheers!

Booting two Macs from one external drive: 10.8 and App Store?

I boot two Macs from one external harddrive. Does this mean that when 10.8 is sold exclusively via the App Store and thereby linked to a unique hardware identifier, I am going to have issues with activation/authentification each time I switch machines? I have avoided the App Store since I discovered that an app I bought there, and which I really needed to open automatically on log-in, had to be manually re-activated with my Apple ID after every switch (so that I eventually deleted it and reverted to an earlier, non-App Store version).

How to pass two parameters in one url?

the tutorial teaches me to use
/faces/Details.jsp?personId=#{currentRow.value['PERSON.PERSONID']}
to pass one parameter.
How can i pass two parameters in one url?
/faces/Details.jsp?personId=#{currentRow.value['PERSON.PERSONID']}&personName=#{currentRow.value['PERSON.PERSONNAME']}
is not right.

The '&' character needs to be escaped, lest it be interpreted by the application server as a separator character in the HTTP query string. Instead of '&', try '%26'.

Own two T430 notebooks, one has noisy fan, the other has a silent fan

Hello there,
I have owned several ThinkPads over the years and recently purchased two T430 laptops - one for travelling and one for my girlfriend for school. I was aware there has been a fan issue as it has been documented all over the web, but I purchased anyway to see how the dice would land. Well the dice have landed and I have one silent computer and one noisy one. I am not too surprised by this because I have read in forums that some owners do not know what others are complaining about.
I believe this is a hardware problem and not firmware. The BIOS updates will only change the fan speed at given temperatures and are not able to reduce noise at a given fan speed. The quiet T430 is running with the 2.09 BIOS (10/19/2012). The other T430 has been updated twice and is currently running 2.54 BIOS (4/22/2013) and is just as noisy as before. Both T430's have the same fan speed at idle, just one is much noisier.
It is not very common to own two T430's to be able to directly compare noise levels, especially nearly identical configurations, but I do:
#1: T430 with i5-3320M, integrated graphics, 1366x768 LCD, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, W7 Pro, Finger Print Reader.
#2: T430 with i5-3320M, integrated graphics, 1600x900 LCD, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, W7 Pro.
#1 is noisy, #2 is silent.
I also own a W500, T410, and W530 and have had them all running next to each other at once to compare them. The T430's are the loudest at idle (including the "silent" one) and have the most air flowing through them, but the T410 is close behind. The fan noise is pretty quiet and acceptable for the T430 #2 and the T410. The W500 is extra quiet and the W530 is so silent it requires close inspection to determine if the fan is even on. Anyways, I have two very different performing fans in two nearly identical T430's. BIOS updates do not affect the sound - it must be hardware.
I am going to call technical support and request a new fan assembly for the noisy T430. This post is meant to get the attention of Lenovo and all the unfortunate noisy T430 owners. A quiet T430 does exist and I am going to attempt to make a noisy T430 be quiet. I will update this post through the replacement of the fan to let everyone know how it goes. I have read people have replaced their fans as many times as twice with no improvements - I will inspect the chassis and neighboring components during replacement to see if there is anything causing a good fan to be noisy. I am optimistic that I will be able to fix this.
If you have had success repairing a noisy T430 fan, please share how you repaired it. Otherwise, stay tuned as I attempt the repair and provide updates on my progress. Thank you.
W530: i7-3740QM, K1000M, FHD 1920x1080, 8GB, 256GB Samsung 840 SSD, 500GB WD 7200 HDD (ultrabay), W7 Pro.
T430: i5-3320M, integrated graphics, HD+ 1600x900, 4GB, 320GB HDD, W7 Pro.
Solved!

Hello everyone,
I called Lenovo Support after starting the thread and learned that they do not send out parts like fans or motherboards for warranty claims. Instead, I had to sent my computer into Lenovo for repair. It took me a couple weeks to find time to wipe the machine to remove any personal data, but I finally called support and had them send me a box to ship it back to them. The box was overnighted and arrived the next morning. I dropped it off at a local UPS store Monday morning and my computer was shipped back and delivered two days later on Wednesday afternoon. Much faster than 7 business days they quoted.
The T430 was finally unboxed today and I started setting it back up. The fan assembly was replaced and they also replaced the cracked power port. I am happy to report that the dice landed in my favor, and this fan is just as quiet as my other T430.
I am a little disappointed that I wasn't allowed to replace it myself, but I can't really complain... Sending it back to Lenovo to get repaired under warranty fixed my fan within 3 days. There is a chance this might not work for everyone since this seems to be a intermittent hardware issue, potentially from one of many suppliers of the fan, but you can probably keep sending it back to Lenovo until it comes back quiet.
I would like to mention that the little fan noise that my quiet T430's make is a little odd sounding. The first stage fan speed is the one that sounds the most odd (the sound of air rushing out at higher speeds muffle this subtle sound): With my ear 1 inch away from the exhaust of the fan on the left side of the machine, the fan sounds like it is rubbing on something, producing a noise similar to noisy brushes on a DC motor or "white noise." (it is hard to describe). But the really interesting part is when the machine has been idle and the fan kicks off, the rubbing sound suddenly drops off, as if there was a brake on the fan. My W530 and W500 produce a "normal" fan sound that gradually changes as the fan speed changes. This rubbing sound in the T430 is a little concerning and I am not 100% confident that these T430's will stay quiet over time. Luckily I have 3-year warranty on these T430's, so I won't get stuck with a loud fan should they become loud.
I hope this helps some of you out there. I am sorry I wasn't able to look for the root cause of the noise issue (didn't want to void my warranty), but Lenovo will attempt to repair a fan noise issue by replacing the fan assembly and they do it in a timely manner.

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.
