SA dependency (pain in the *&^%$#@)

Hi,
I am quite new to Project.
If this is not the place for beginners questions I apolagize, but could you then advise me on which forum I could best turn to?
I can't seem to get my head around the SF dependency in Project.
From Microsoft somewhere on the Internet:
When the start date of Task 1 determines the finish date of Task 2, the tasks have a Start-to-Finish (SF) dependency.
Why would not one simply convert such a dependency to FS?
In almost all the examples I can find this seems a plausible way to go.
What am I overseeing here?
Thank you very much for any kind of pointer.
Regards,
Lx

I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How to find a dependent row in the all tables using single SQL query

hi all,
I have created some table with master and some dependent tables.I want to mark a (row)tuple as inactive in master so that corresponding child records also should be marked as inactive.
So i decided to mark the master and dependent records as inactive starting from master table and traverse to child tables.
So I need SQL query to fetch all dependend records to the row(marked row in the master ) from the master table and dependent rows from the child row and to mark as flag inactive.
can anybody help me out to build this query or any other way to mark flag as inactive ?
Regards
punithan

You can find dependant tables from ALL_CONSTRAINTS, e.g:
SQL> CREATE TABLE m (id INT PRIMARY KEY, flag VARCHAR2(1) NOT NULL);
Table created.
SQL> CREATE TABLE d1 (m_id REFERENCES m, flag VARCHAR2(1) NOT NULL);
Table created.
SQL> CREATE TABLE d2 (m_id REFERENCES m, flag VARCHAR2(1) NOT NULL);
Table created.
SQL> SELECT table_name, owner, status
2 FROM   all_constraints c
3 WHERE c.constraint_type = 'R'
4 AND    ( c.r_owner, c.r_constraint_name ) IN
5         ( SELECT owner, constraint_name
6           FROM   user_constraints
7           WHERE table_name = 'M'
8           AND    constraint_type IN ('U','P') );
TABLE_NAME                     OWNER                          STATUS
D2                             WILLIAMR                       ENABLED
D1                             WILLIAMR                       ENABLED
2 rows selected.There is no SQL command to apply all updates in one go, if that's what you were looking for.
AFAIK the word "tuple" is for mathematics and relational theory, and does not refer to a physical row in a database.

InDesign Pain in the A@@

Ok I worked with Quark all of my career, now I am at a new place and Tech Supp. decided to go all Adobe CS2, I have no problems with that, love the suite, Love Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and so on...
But ID is such a pain in the ...
I work Very large documents, 200 pages plus, so, I make master pages, great, put my text boxes in the masters, to save time and layout pains, so there I go, start flowing the texts, but wait! All items that are on the master pages are lock, and I have to unlock each and every one by hand, don't tell me that does not bug the hell out of anyone here...
At least in quark you could readjust your layout, the master items ARE NOT LOCKED!!!!
Who can tell me in full how to have some items on the master editable and other not... and command shift is not an option with 200 pages and 10 items per page to unlock!
Quark I miss you!

Ok, first of all just a couple of tips...
I noticed if you wanted to give your text frame a border you created two text frames. It's not necessary. Select the text frame and click Cmd+B and you can set the inset spacing.
Also, I highly recommend you take advantage of object styles. They work just like paragraph styles. You can create them by example, too. Just select a formatted text frame and select create new object style. Then you just have to click on the name to apply all the attributes of the frame to any new frame.
Here's a script that will override all master page items. So what you should do is first add all the pages you think you will need and run the script and everything will be unlocked. If you need to add more pages, just ad the pages and rerun the script. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to the script.
myDoc= app.activeDocument
for (var h = myDoc.pages.length - 1; h >= 0; h--) {
for (var j = myDoc.pages[h].masterPageItems.length - 1; j >= 0; j--){
if(myDoc.pages[h].masterPageItems.length>0){
myDoc.pages[h].masterPageItems[j].override(myDoc.pages[h])
Copy/paste it into a text editor and save it with a .jsx extension in your InDesign>Presets>Scripts folder, then in InDesign go to Window>Automation>Scripts and double click the file name to run the script.

My location is sometimes wrong it says I'm in the middle of the ocean 80 miles away. This even happens when I'm connected to my wifi. This has become a really big pain in the ***. I've tried resetting and all that jazz but still I can't find a solution.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

When using Firefox as my browser, my "back" button no longer works? And by the way...getting help is a real pain in the butt on this site!!!!!

When using Firefox as my browser, my "back" button no longer works? And by the way...getting help is a real pain in the butt on this site!!!!!

see -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
which explains how to completely exit (quit) your Mozilla application
Try closing Firefox completely
*Close Firefox properly '''File > Exit''', not with the "X" which just closes the window.
*Use the Windows Task Manager "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is not running and also that the plugin-container.exe is not running.
If that does not work, try restarting the system.
If still no luck try restoring bookmarks from last backup, or better create your own .json backup and restore from that.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox#Creating_bookmark_backups
*''If you had to go this far, please provide feedback if restoring bookmarks alone fixed the problem. I think I may have done that once with success, but never see that suggested -- I'd try most anything to not lose history or bookmarks. But then I could restore files from my profile and restore latest bookmarks backup from current profile.''
The following will result in complete loss of history if it comes down to deleting places.sqlite, so rename files rather than deleting. With Firefox down.
Of course you have backups of your profile you could replace rename and
replace those files instead.

Can't create multiple dependent LOVs from the same bind variable

Hi all,
I'm having difficulty creating multiple dependent LOVs from queries based on the same bind variable in my JSF application (JDev 10.1.3.1). Basically I have a static LOV in a af:selectOneChoice component from which users select a value which then becomes the bind variable value for two separate queries that generate two different dependent LOV. Having developed the code along the lines of Steve Muench 's blog (http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2006/04/03.html#a685), the first dependent LOV works really well. The first dynamic LOV gets refreshed whenever the list from the static LOV changes, and I can execute other queries based on the values selected.
The problem arises when I want to create the second dynamic/dependent LOV that has the same bind variable based on the same selected value from the static LOV. Here I would also like the functionality whereby the second dynamic LOV is also refreshed after the selected value in the static LOV changes. Thinking that all I had to do was replicate the methodology used in creating the first dependent LOV, I created the second iterator, invokeAction and other binding components in the PageDef. The executable section now looks like the following:
<iterator id="SelectStaticQueryViewObjIterator"
              Binds="SelectStaticQueryViewObj" RangeSize="-1"
              DataControl="DMSApplicationModule1DataControl"/>
<invokeAction id="refreshDynamicQuery1BindParameter"
              Binds="ExecuteWithParams1" Refresh="prepareModel"
              RefreshCondition="#{empty requestScope.VariableChanged}"/>
<iterator id="SelectDynamicQuery1ViewObjIterator"
              Binds="SelectDynamicQuery1ViewObj" RangeSize="-1"
              DataControl="DMSApplicationModule1DataControl"/>
<invokeAction id="refreshDynamicQuery2BindParameter"
              Binds="ExecuteWithParams2" Refresh="prepareModel"
              RefreshCondition="#{empty requestScope.VariableChanged}"/>
<iterator id="SelectDynamicQuery2ViewObjIterator"
              Binds="SelectDynamicQuery2ViewObj" RangeSize="-1"
              DataControl="DMSApplicationModule1DataControl"/>I now have a problem whereby everytime I change the value of the static LOV, multiple HTML components for the same ADF component are being generated (the LOVs are refreshed via PPR). The surprising thing is that this duplicating behaviour applies to all ADF components listed after the first dynamic LOV in the *.jspx source. For example, I have a <af:outputText="Test Text"/> component created after the first dynamic LOV. Each time the value in the static LOV changes, a duplicate HTML component is created. This also applies to the 'related' second dynamic LOV which is bound to a af:selectOneChoice component - multiple dropdown lists are created. I've checked with the browser's Page Source and there are actually multiple html components being generated with their own unique ADF-generated IDs. I've tried all different options for the Referesh and RefreshCondition attibutes in the second invokeAction element but nothing seems to eliminate this issue.
Any suggestions about how I might create multiple dependent LOVs from the same bind variable that get refreshed when the selected value changes would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
George

Hi all,
Just updating the thread on how I've overcome this issue. As it stood the manner in which I was trying to solve my use case, as described above, was creating an absolute mess. Then with a blank sheet of paper I quickly realised that a much simpler solution would be to create a whole series of master-detail VOs and build my components around them. Thankfully I haven't had any issues going down this path as yet.
Cheers
George

Pain in the ***!!!!

I updated my iPod and its telling me to plug it into the wall but I lost my charger!! Does anyone know what I can do to fix it cos I can't do anything!! I've tried the 5 R's and they don't work and I've tried running the battery flat and that doesn't help!!! its a pain in the ***!!!! help me!!

When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see that icon displayed. It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.
http://www.bearsdriving.com/blog/archives/2005/10/youripod_tipo.html
I make no claims as to whether this will work (but I've seen other posts where it has), but merely point it out.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

I dw file.dwt (exact like this ext) files may insert server side code supposed all pages depended are in the same code eg cfml?

I'm sorry, but your English is pretty difficult for me to figure. I'm assuming your asking how to have a Dreameraver template support ColdFusion. It hat is what you are asking, the template file extension should be: YourTemplateName.dwt.cfm - this tells Dreamweaver is a ColdFusion template.
I hope I understood you and that this helps.

hi guys I deleted my extension"bitdefender antivirus"but when I switch on my mac safari open up itself asking to instal the extension above what can I do to avoid this pain in the behind?Thanks

Uninstall "BitDefender" completely, not just the Safari extension.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Flash pain in the........?

Ok, so everything is fine with my G4 Powerbook now running 10.5.8 except for FLASH (read pain in the....). I've all sorts of info on what version to intall only they don't work.
So, is there and intaller Flash App and the Flash App it's self? What version? is it 10.1.102.64 or something of that nature. One I found w/ and r in it somewhere. In other words 10.1.102r.64? Is it for Firefox, Safari, or Chrome? And just to confuse and confound, what is the debugger? Then! How to make it work! Why Adobe? Why do you make it so confusing? Any ideas? Folks. Thanks JN

Hi James,
They do make it confusing, & 10.1.102.64 is the latest supported version for PPC Macs.
It should work for Safari & Firefox, but Chrome is Intel ionly besides having it's own version inside it I understand.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...
