Running iWork programs on secondary volume

Hi,
I have two volumes on my iBook hard drive, my regular 10.4.11 startup volume and a sandbox volume, which also has 10.4.11 on it. Is it possible to run any iWork 08 programs from the volume on which they are NOT installed? I.e., is there any way to run Keynote or Pages from my regular startup volume when the iWork programs are installed on the sandbox volume? Aliases, symbolic links, anything?
It would be convenient.
Thanks in advance,
John Robert

Hello Brian,
You wrote: It would help if I had any clue what Sandbox was
Sandbox is a small second volume on my hard drive. It is a "sandbox" because I use it to try out updates before installing them on my main startup volume. Therefore it has to be a boot system. To save space it uses the same user folders as the main drive, using symbolic links, I think. This is a setup suggested by the makers of SuperDuper. Unfortunately at the moment, iWork is installed on Sandbox. QuickTime 7.5 is too. I wanted to run Keynote from the main drive to see if the problems I have exporting to QuickTime are the result of updating to 7.5 from 7.4.5, which is still on my main drive.
Hello cm752004,
Thanks for the information. I tried copying the support files from Sandbox to my main drive. However the Mac displays a message saying that I cannot copy from Sandbox to the /System/Library/Privateframeworks/ of my main drive, even when running from Sandbox. Perhaps the "authenticate" button in the dialog box is the answer?

Launchd to run Applescript app. only when an iWorks program is running

How can I make launchd load an applescript application (that autosaves documents) only when an iWorks program (Pages, Numbers) is running?
I am using Launchd Editor or Lingon to right the plist file.

There isn't a launchd trigger I'm aware of that will do this.
The best you can do with launchd is a StartInterval which launches your application every n seconds and have the script perform the check to see if one of the target applications is running.

When I connect an external drive I'd like to run a program which is on it. How could I do that?

I tried automator, but without success.
Thanks

Interesting question. Others have provided the direct answer (no, massive security hole), and a little time with a search engine finds various existing discussions of autorun-related topics (eg: here and here and here), and a link to the Do Something When tool, and there is the DeviceListener example in the Xcode kit and to adding a folder action where the volumes are mounted. See the topics for details. Haven't tried this stuff, though.

Cannot open iwork documents from within the iwork program

I am running OSX Mountain Lion on an imac 3.06 GHz core duo. Everything is uptodate. I have documents from Numbers, Pages and Keynote stored on icloud. I can see them when I go to icloud.com. When I try to open them from within any of the iwork programs, all I can see is greyed out document icons.

Hello
It seems that Pages is coded to save an imported file (which is the case for a .doc one) in the folder from which it was imported.
When the folder belongs to a CD, this can't be done and Pages refuses to import the doc.
I's not a bug, it's a feature.
Delberate or not is an other question.
If this feature is annoying from your point of you, described the problem to the official channel because here we are users trying to help other users.
We are not members of the Pages team.
So, *go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Pages" menu* and describe what you wish.

Why are iWorks Programs very slow to launch?

I cannot believe how long it takes to launch iWorks programs, started a few weeks ago, before that, they were like lightning. I installe Mountain Lion and there was no improvement. I launched Pages just now and it took 2:45 from clicking on the icon, to get the document I wanted. I also get lock ups with the computer that requres me to shut down completely and unplug everything. There does not seem to be any trend in the lock ups, somethimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. I had a problem similar to this a couple of years ago and we went through 3 hard drives, and it still didn't solve my problem. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I can and will do that but if this, in fact, does help what will it tell me? From what I know about Safe Mode it loads only the "bare bones" windows settings which I certainly would NOT be happy running all the time just to solve my problem.
A reply would be greatly appreciated and thank you.
Have a good day/night, whichever it is where you are. wink

HT4942 Why is the size display of Keynote (and all the iWorks programs) not adjustable enough to allow 2 programs to be viewed side by side! The won't allow me to fully choose how small I want it to be!

I often use Keynote AND Pages jumping back and forth when creating a presentation. I used to be able to open each and make them fit side by side to work so I could see both evenly. But now these iWork programs no longer allow me to shrink their size displayed to fit this way. I can only shrink them to be about 2/3rds of my monitor which means the other is grossly covered up by the other and I have to keep clicking over the other to see information and then click back on the other which is immediately covered up again and I have to memorize what I saw on the other program to add to the other! Frustrating!!! Is there a way to minimize these programs to any size I want?!?!?!?!

Same thing happens on my mbpr 15", I'm going to guess that Gary is running the programs on a large screen iMac and maybe it the limitations of our laptops' screens preventing us from running the apps at 1/2 screen size.

I have an Apple MacBook on which Lion 10.7, plus all updates, are successfully installed. Can you tell me if TechTool Deluxe, normally supplied with Apple here has been now tested and found to run successfully? I have run the program to check a problem

I have an Apple MacBook on which Lion 10.7, plus all updates, are successfully installed.
Can you tell me if TechTool Deluxe, normally supplied with Apple here has been now tested and found to run successfully?
I have run the program to check a problem that I'm having. The particularly with video, and also volume structure. TEchTool Delux reports a failure for both of these components.
I am wondering if this is realistic or not, given the start-up screen for TechTool Delux mentions on start-up that it has yet to be tested fully with Lion?
With thanks, Ron.

Yes, I understand, however, he Macbook is out of its Applecare, but the TechTool it still on the machine. Does that entitle me to an upgrade in TechTool?
I suspect not, hoever, seeing I am running Lion, I am not sure at all? If you can answer this question it will help as then Imight be able to solve the problem I'm having.
Best regards, Ron

My MacBook is almost two years old and has started running really slow. It gets bogged down when it is running different programs at the same time, like Safari and Pages. It didn't react this way until recently. Any advice would be very welcome.

Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive (the drive itself, not the volume icons below it.) Is the SMART status "Verified?" If not, replace the drive immediately. If the status is "Verified," the drive may still be failing. Back up all data, if you haven't already done so. Reinstall Mac OS X, then run Software Update. Test with all wired peripherals disconnected. If it's still slow, you have a hardware problem.

/SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 program is not working correctly if we run the program for range of material and plant wise

Hi APO Experts,
In our project, we have received more sales order inconsistencies which is not clearing by CCR program and it is clearing by program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, So We have decided to schedule the background job on daily basis for program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, performing the testing in our quality system and observed the below strange behavior.
When I am running the program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with Range of products and some location range with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, in Background job. In output it is suggesting to delete one sales order. If I checked that Sales order in ECC, it is for an different location, that is not part of my selection and the order is open. In MD04 the Qty is showing 1 ( as per sales order) but in APO RRP3 view the order qty is showing Zero. I have run the CCR, it is coming in different in content and if I push, the different is not going to APO.
I have tried running the program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with plant which is mentioned in that sales order with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, in Background job , it is suggesting this sales order under update option correctly.
Can you please help me understand why it is behaving differently like the location is not part of my selection and why it is suggesting the wrong action. And also whether is it advisable to run the /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow at plant range and material range in background job.
Thanks & Regards,
Sundaram Radhakrishnan

Sundaram,
It sounds to me like the sales document records in the OLTP and in APO were created at different times. This is common in Dev and Qual environments when the systems are commonly created at two different times, and each was a copy of an existing system that contained sales data. The order number you see in //rrp3 is somewhat irrelevant; system generally uses the guid for many activities.
FYI during Dev and Qual refreshes, if you are copying from a production environment that contains data, it is always best to create the OLTP and SCM images at the same time, and to copy them both to the Dev and Qual systems at the same time. If you don't do this, you are faced with the additional tasks associated with getting the copied systems back into synch.
If this is Dev or Qual, I suggest that you just completely wipe out all sales orders in APO and rebuild them using the CIF.
If this is a mature production environment, the only time I have ever seen this issue is due to improperly created CIF enhancements. Speak to your developers to find the root cause, and correct this problem. Then, wipe out all sales orders and rebuild with CIF.
Best Regards,
DB49

Unable to Run C Program using Xcode "Stop Executable"

Hi All
Have been using the Terminal to compile programs built through Xcode but now want to use Xcode itself. Everytime I press build and go it builds successfully but won't run. I found a tutorial that mentioned if you are using Xcode 3.0 (I am) you can't use build and run, for output, you have to go to run and then push console.Ok that works. I then found someone with the same issue as mine everytime you want to build and run it appears with another window saying "Stop Executable"They were told to make sure they were building the .c file in a project and not building it from a text editor and then importing. I always build new projects.
I want to interact with the program not just see its output? so my question is can I interact with programs i.e. User can enter data or strings or, do I have to build an interface to do this through Xcode. I Also forgotten to mention I found information through the forum that said to go to First Aid through utilities and repair file permissions, this has been done but still does not work. Many thanks for your time and as you can probably tell I am new to Xcode.

To run your command-line program in Xcode, open the debugger console by choosing Run > Console. Run your program by choosing Run > Run or Build > Build and Run. You'll have to build and run if you haven't compiled the program before. Your program will run, and you will see output in the console. You interact with the program from the console.
If you're not able to enter input in the console, choose Run > Sync with Debugger. If doing that doesn't work, you can run your program in the Terminal application by double-clicking the program from the Finder. It's less convenient than running it in Xcode, but you'll at least be able to run the program and interact with it.

Problem with running a program under Labview 8.6

Hello,
I am writing you this to ask for your technical support to fix the problem I am facing at our Lab at University of California, Irvine.
Ms. Vanessa Trujillo has kindly come to our lab a couple of times and tried different things to resolve the issue, but unfortunately the issue is not resolved yet. Here is a summary of the problem:
We used to use Labview 6.1 for our fatigue testing and data acquisition.
Our
program worked just fine under the 6.1 version We recently upgraded our software to Labview 8.6. We have also purchased a new computer that has higher capacity than what your website requires for Labview 8.6. The new computer has Windows Vista We transferred our old program/subprograms from the old computer under Labview
6.1 to the new computer with labview 8.6. However our program that worked fine with the 6.1 version is not working with the updated version (ver 8.6).
There
are 6 errors in the error list. It appears there are six files of my program missing under the new version, even though we transferred all files.
The software searches for those files but can't find them.
        For example one the box pops up indicates:
        loading:
                    <vlib>:\Daq\lvdaq.dll
        searching:
                    C:\Program Files\National Instrument\LabVIEW 8.6\instr.lib\Agilent34401\public\utility
        I get several message like this. I have to cancel/ignore them all to be able to open the program.
When we go to VI's under Measurement I/O there is nothing (empty).
We use a PCI-MIO-16XE-50 for our data acquisition During Labview installation on the new computer, I was asked if I wanted to install the device drivers. I had two options, "Now" or "Later", I picked Now but I didn't have the DVD's/CD's for the device drivers. Therefore I had to select later to complete my software installation Later after Labview 8.6 installation, we installed the device drivers (traditional Ni DAQ and Ni DAQmx) from the two old CD's we had in our lab from a couple of years ago (the CD's were Ni DAQ 7). after installation, the PCI board on the computer was recognized by the device driver. However we still could not run our program under the new version of Labview (same situation and the same messages) I called 1-866-275-6964 on 9/2/08 and talked to Grant (service number:
1228841). He recommended that I download and install the updated version of device drivers.
Since I didn't have the DVD/CD for updated device drivers, I contacted Vanessa Trujillo. She gave me the DVD for the updated Ni DAQ (Traditional and mx).
But
when I tried to install the updated device drivers I got a message something like "some unsupported filed have been detected,..." so the updated device
drivers were not installed. It should be noted that up to here we still had the Ni DAQ (traditional and mx) installed on the computer from our old CD's (Ni DAQ 7).
Vanessa and I talked to Tom at the technical support department. He recommended that we download and install the Beta xx version for Ni DAQ since we were using Windows Vista. Mike put the Beta software on the Ni website/outgoing so I could download and install it. He asked me to uninstall the traditional Ni DAQ that we had on our computer from the older CD's. He
asked me not to un-install the Ni DAQmx (that we had installed from the old
CD). I was able to download the Beta software, however I could not install it since I got a similar message that some unsupported files were detected.
Right now we don't have any version of traditional Ni DAQ installed on the
computer but the NI DAQmx (from old Ni DAQ 7) is still installed on the computer. Vanessa let me borrow her new Ni DAQ DVD but as I explained I am not able to install the device drivers.
Vanessa - Did I miss anything?
Please advise. My cell number is 619-778-2033. I will be at our lab at UC,
Irvine at 2:00pm (CA/Pacific time). Please call if you have any questions.
Thank you

To me, it looks like you are missing some of the drivers and subVI's used in your program.
Whatever device you are using to measure fatigue or any other device probably came with a driver.
You need all of these drivers installed on this new computer.
Also, any subVI's and libraries you use in the program must also be installed on the new computer.
Whenever you get a message that says you are missing some component (the ones that you said you press 'ignore'),
see if you can find that library or subVI on the older computer. If so, save it to something so you can transfer them to the new computer.

How to generate new spool on each run of program

Hi,
I am using FP_JOB_OPEN , CLOSE FM for generate my multiple PDFs into a single PDF form.
Rightnow when we run 1st time is genrating and storing it under a spool number 100.
Next time we run the program it is appending to same spool number 100.
How can we get rid of this? These are my spool parameters.

I tried REQNEW inside the loop when i do that obviusly it is seperating pdf's .
How can i get rid of this issue?

Running BDC program in background for the transaction VL02N

Hi All,
I have coded a BDC program (call transaction method) for the transaction code VL02N. I can able to run the program manually & successfully. But if I execute the program in background(SM36), it is going to dump giving CNTL_ERROR.
Note: I am not using any of the GUI_UPLOAD, GUI_DOWNLOAD funciton modules in the program. But I am using the FTP command funtion modules like( FTP_COMMAND, FTP_CONNECT, FTP_DISCONNECT and FTP_SERVER_TO_R/3).
<removed_by_moderator>
Thanks in advance.
Ramesh.

VL02N is an enjoy transaction. You cant run it in background. Please try VL02.
Thanks
